Paul McGuigan, 37, and Australian Darren Hoare were shot dead by former paratrooper Danny Fitzsimons in 2009.
An inquest into Mr McGuigan's death heard he told his fiancée Fitzsimons was "weird" during a Skype call.
Fitzsimons, from Rochdale, is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Baghdad.
During his trial in 2011, the former paratrooper told the Iraqi court he had been suffering from post-traumatic stress at the time of the killings and claimed he had acted in self-defence after a fight broke out.
He had admitted killing Mr McGuigan, originally from Peebles, Scotland, and Darren Hoare in August 2009.
Mr McGuigan, a former Royal Marine, had been living in Tameside and had previously worked as a bodyguard for ex-Beatle George Harrison.
His mother Corinne Boyd-Russell told the inquest that when she last saw her son he had been excited that his fiancée Nicola Prestage expecting a baby.
All three men had been working for British security firm ArmorGroup, part of G4S, based in the Iraqi capital's fortified Green Zone.
Since the killings, the Fitzsimons family have questioned whether their son was well enough to be employed by the security firm.
Deputy Coroner for Greater Manchester South, Joanne Kearsley confirmed she would seeking evidence relating to the employment policies of G4S.
The inquest resumes on Thursday.
There are idealistic, hard-working and honest politicians the world over - although cynics might argue they're a small minority - but none of them surely comes anywhere close to the outgoing Uruguayan president when it comes to living by one's principles.
It's not just for show. Mr Mujica's beat-up old VW Beetle is probably one of the most famous cars in the world and his decision to forgo the luxury of the Presidential Palace is not unique - his successor, Tabare Vazquez, will also probably elect to live at home.
But when you visit "Pepe" at his tiny, one-storey home on the outskirts of Montevideo you realise that the man is as good as his word.
Wearing what could best be described as "casual" clothes - I don't think he's ever been seen wearing a tie - Mr Mujica seats himself down on a simple wooden stool in front of a bookshelf that seems on the verge of collapsing under the weight of biographies and mementoes from his political adversaries and allies.
Books are important to the former guerrilla fighter who spent a total of 13 years in jail, two of them lying at the bottom of an old horse trough. It was an experience that almost broke him mentally and which shaped his transformation from fighter to politician.
"I was imprisoned in solitary [confinement] so the day they put me on a sofa I felt comfortable!" Mr Mujica jokes.
"I've no doubt that had I not lived through that I would not be who I am today. Prison, solitary confinement had a huge influence on me. I had to find an inner strength. I couldn't even read a book for seven, eight years - imagine that!"
Given his past, it's perhaps understandable why Mr Mujica gives away about 90% of his salary to charity, simply because he "has no need for it".
A little bit grumpy to begin with, Mr Mujica warms to his task as he describes being perplexed by those who question his lifestyle.
"This world is crazy, crazy! People are amazed by normal things and that obsession worries me!"
Not afraid to take a swipe at his fellow leaders, he adds: "All I do is live like the majority of my people, not the minority. I'm living a normal life and Italian, Spanish leaders should also live as their people do. They shouldn't be aspiring to or copying a rich minority."
Jose Mujica is outspoken and sometimes brusque, but he can afford to be so.
Uruguay is often referred to as the most liberal country in South America. As economic and political turmoil threaten to engulf the neighbouring giants of Brazil and Argentina, this country of just three million people certainly feels like a refuge.
Mr Mujica leaves office with a relatively healthy economy and with social stability those bigger neighbours could only dream of.
Mr Mujica's underlying principles are still socialist but he's a man who has mellowed with age. Some of the most controversial political initiatives from his five years as president - like the legalisation of abortion and cannabis - were done for pragmatic as much as ideological reasons.
"Marijuana is another plague, another addiction. Some say its good but no, that's rubbish. Not marijuana, tobacco or alcohol - the only good addiction is love!" says the man who in 2005 married his long-term partner and former co-revolutionary, Lucia Topolansky.
"But 150,000 people smoke [marijuana] here and I couldn't leave them at the mercy of drugs traffickers," he says. "It's easier to control something if it's legal and that's why we've done this."
Mr Mujica, who is sometimes described as the "president every other country would like to have," dismisses all the adulation and attention with a waft of his hand but he is not leaving the stage just yet.
"I have no intention of being an old pensioner, sitting in a corner writing my memoirs - no way!" he barks at me with a grin.
"I'm tired of course, but I'm not ready to stop. My journey's ending and every day I'm a little closer to the grave."
Maybe so, but this enigmatic leader remains an inspiration to many and is a reminder that politics is meant to be a humble and honourable profession.
Now, it can be a reality after two teachers and the FAW Trust compiled an education pack.
It covers years 3-6, includes literacy, numeracy and physical education and is available for teachers to download.
CEO of the FAW Trust, Neil Ward, said: "We were really keen to use football and the Euros in engaging pupils."
The education pack, containing 24 lesson plans, was written by Adam Raymond and Jonathan Davies, assistant head teacher and physical literacy teacher respectively at Pencoed Primary School, Bridgend.
They cover the new six areas of education proposed in the review of education in Wales carried out by Prof Graham Donaldson.
Mr Raymond said: "The resource is bespoke package of planned, rich learning tasks that teachers can use and adapt to fit their pupils' needs."
Tasks include using iMovie to create a motivational film, creating a budget, writing a report on the history of Paris' buildings, cultural diversity and tourist attractions and making a graph based on statistics of Wales players' performances.
The plans have been uploaded to the Welsh Government's hub for digital learning tools and resources.
Mr Ward added: "Wales' presence in the Euros provides us with this huge, unprecedented, not to be missed opportunity to inspire young children to play. We have the potential to impact on more than 5,000 classrooms."
But have a gander at these stats: 20 billion minutes watched every month; 1.5 million broadcasters; 11 million videos uploaded each month.
That's the level of activity happening right now on Twitch, the gaming streaming site owned by Amazon.
It's one of the industry's most lucrative growth areas, with top broadcasters - "casters" - commanding devoted audiences of millions.
And when you have that big a following, the commercial opportunities are enormous.
And so that's why this year's E3 has set the scene for something of a showdown in the world of live game streaming.
Just before the gaming trade show kicked off, YouTube - owned by Google - announced the impending launch of YouTube Gaming.
Borrowing much from Twitch, it's YouTube's attempt at getting stuck in, using its already established might in monetising online video to tempt gamers on to the platform (and keep existing enthusiastic gaming YouTubers there).
"There clearly is an appetite for gaming when you see billions of hours of watch time," said Ryan Wyatt, YouTube's head of gaming content.
"People are entertaining, there's comedy, there's drama, there's animation. It's not necessarily people just playing video games. It's something much bigger than that."
It's a so far friendly rivalry between YouTube and Twitch, but with both companies keen to retain and attract talent, things could get very competitive very quickly.
Kevin Lin, chief operating officer at Twitch, told the BBC it took the players' financial motivations very seriously.
"Expanding the monetisation features is something we think about constantly - how we make sure [gamers are] making more money on our platform versus others."
And there's great money to be made. While none of the big-name casters on hand at E3 would be be drawn on what exactly they earn, one player - who goes by HikeTheGamer - said the financial rewards he'd enjoyed were "amazing". Casting was now his full-time job.
Another, Spamfish, had a more modest assessment, saying it was the most fun minimum wage job on the planet.
The money mostly comes through advertising, with the odd endorsement on the side. Both Twitch and YouTube offer revenue share agreements where adverts are displayed in and around the gaming content.
The winning formula for what makes a successful caster isn't as obvious as you might think.
Being a big gaming name on Twitch and YouTube doesn't necessarily mean you need to be good at games - in fact, many of the most popular casters are decidedly terrible at the titles they play, but as a result they produce a charming, inclusive atmosphere on their respective channels.
"I really try to develop a relationship with my viewers," says SuushiSam, a Twitch caster.
She added: "I try to grow a community and get to know each individual viewer as much as I can."
Such an approach gets more difficult as time goes on - particularly if you reach the dizzying heights of JeromeASF. He creates gaming videos on YouTube and has a following of more than three million people.
"I did this for about three or four years without making a dime," he said.
"So when I genuinely say 'I love what I do', it's because I love what I do."
But not all of it is enjoyable.
Online troublemakers - to put it kindly - have gone out of their way to find the addresses of top gamers and target some high-profile casters with what is known as "swatting".
By calling the local police and making it sound like an armed person is on the loose, or there's a bomb threat, pranksters have been able to concern authorities so much that Swat teams will descend on a gamer's house, and the drama unfolds live in front of the Twitch or YouTube audience.
Casters are reluctant to touch upon this side of the industry, fearing that talking about it may just encourage more.
One of the gamers - who didn't want to be named - frequently receives death threats.
And of course, like any job, it comes with its fair share of drab moments.
"Don't expect to instantly make money. It is a lot of hard work. A lot of people think we just sit on our butts and eat junk food and play video games all day," says SuushiSam.
"But there's a lot more to it. Scheduling when you want to broadcast, networking with people, social media - it is a lot of hard work."
YouTube Gaming launches fully later this year, while Twitch has promised to invest in its infrastructure to address problems with stability and latency.
Which one of them will come out on top is anyone's guess. But then, the popularity of live game streaming is growing so fast, there's probably ample room for both to thrive.

Vose, 22, says he left because he and the club were on their "last legs."
Mills was disappointed with Vose's comments but insists he had no problem with the midfielder.
"I'm pleased he's now a league player. But he should be grateful for having that opportunity because of what he's done at Wrexham," he said.
"I haven't spoken with Dominic since he signed for Scunthorpe.
"But it would be nice to feel Dominic might pick up the phone and say 'I've enjoyed working with you gaffer and thanks for helping me get to where I am now."
Vose signed a two-and-a-half year deal with League One side Scunthorpe United on deadline day.
Grimsby Town also wanted to sign Vose, who "didn't see the point" of joining a fellow National League side and rejected the offer to speak with the Mariners.
"Accepting a bid from a rival club shows your intent," Vose said of his decision to leave Wrexham.
"I felt my time at Wrexham had come to an end and Scunthorpe were willing to take me, so that is how it turned out.
"I can't dwell on that. I had a good time at Wrexham but I'm happy to be here [Scunthorpe] now."
Vose joined Wrexham from Welling United on a one-year contract in May 2015 and was the Dragons' top-scorer with 11 goals in all competitions this season.
"Dominic had not been involved in the last couple and as always on deadline day he wouldn't have been the only one who got a call maybe at the last minute," Mills told BBC Wales Sport.
"Dominic's done well for us this season but as a player I would have liked him to have been a bit more consistent with his play
"I decided with the offer Scunthorpe made and with Dominic out of contract in the summer as well that it was the right decision all round."
They include former communications chief of the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, Gordon Arthur, and former Port of Dover chief executive Bob Goldfield.
The Scottish government bought the struggling airport for £1 in 2013 amid fears it would be forced to close.
It is now being operated under public ownership "on a commercial basis".
The other new appointments to the board are Jayne Maclennan, a group director at transport giant FirstGroup, and Ken Dalton, a former senior executive at professional and technical services firm Aecom Technology Corporation.
Prestwick Airport said the appointments were the latest step in "the process of transforming the business into a successful and vibrant airport".
Airport chairman Andrew Miller said: "I firmly believe the airport has a bright future and it's my team's priority to see it return to profitability and become a strategic anchor for economic growth in Ayrshire and Scotland."
Scottish Infrastructure Secretary Keith Brown said: "This is another important step forward for the future of Glasgow Prestwick Airport, and I welcome the appointment of the four non-executive directors.
"We know there is real potential for growth at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, but it will take strong leadership and vision to drive this improvement and transform the airport into the successful and vibrant business we know it can be."
The airport had a pre-tax loss of £9.77m in its final full year under previous owners Infratil.
Last year, then Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warned there was "no quick fix solution for Prestwick" and the airport may not be profitable for several years.
It shows clearly the annual “holeâ€
The NSPCC said different practices in communities were no excuse for "child abuse taking place in this country".
It comes as a judge said authorities need to make allowances for a "cultural context" in cases involving parents.
Mrs Justice Pauffley made the comments in a High Court ruling of a man from India accused of slapping his son.
She said that, in many newly arrived communities in the UK, children were "slapped and hit" for misbehaviour in a way that "excites the interest" of child protection professionals in this country.
Mrs Justice Pauffley - who sits in the family division of the High Court - said proper allowance had to be made for "what is, almost certainly a different cultural context".
She made the comments during a case involving a man from India who had been accused of assaulting his wife and son.
The boy - who cannot be named for legal reasons - alleged that his father had hit him with a belt on his back and leg.
The man denied the allegation but accepted he had given his son "a slap or a tap" to keep him disciplined.
The judge said this did not amount to "punitively harsh treatment of the kind that would merit the term physical abuse".
"Within many communities newly arrived in this country, children are slapped and hit for misbehaviour in a way which at first excites the interest of child protection professionals," Mrs Justice Pauffley said.
However, a spokesman for the NSPCC said: "Children need to be protected irrespective of cultural sensitivities.
"Different practices are no excuse for child abuse taking place in this country and the law doesn't make that distinction.
"Every child deserves the right to be safe and protected from physical abuse and the courts must reflect this."
Under the Children Act 2004 it is not illegal for a parent to hit their child as long as it amounts to "reasonable punishment".

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has raised £10m ($16m) to help people affected by the devastating Ebola crisis in West Africa through web and phone donations, and UK government support.
The president of Guinea, where the first case of Ebola was recorded in West Africa, has welcomed the rush of international support for the three countries at the centre of the outbreak. However, Alpha Conde criticised other West African nations, which he accused of isolating and demonising Guinea.

Italy's Seppi triumphed 1-6 6-7 (1-7) 6-4 6-2 10-8 in round two against the typically unpredictable 14th seed.
Kyrgios was given two warnings, for swearing and racquet abuse, before the 89th-ranked Seppi clinched victory.
Earlier, four-time winner Roger Federer held off the challenge of American prospect Noah Rubin.
The 35-year-old Swiss, who is seeded 17th after missing the second half of the 2016 season with a knee injury, saved two set points in the third to win 7-5 6-3 7-6 (7-3). Federer will play 2010 Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych in the third round.
Kyrgios won a five-set scrap with Seppi on the same Hisense Arena court in 2015 to reach the quarter-finals, but the roles were reversed here.
The 21-year-old Australian was in control before losing his temper as he complained of a knee injury midway through the third set.
Kyrgios, returning to tennis at the Australian Open after a ban for not trying at the Shanghai Masters ended his 2016 season, was given a warning for swearing and later docked a point for his second code violation after launching his racquet into the ground in frustration.
Seppi, 32, took the match into a deciding set and served for victory at 6-5 when Kyrgios played a between-the-legs shot on the first point before winning the game.
The Italian saved a match point at 7-8 and drew level again, broke in the following game when Kyrgios sent down a double fault, and then closed out the victory.
"Maybe it was meant to be," Seppi said of avenging his 2015 loss. "I was concentrating on my game and not worrying about he was doing."
Kyrgios admitted he needed to take his preparation more seriously, having "played too much basketball" in pre-season.
The Australian, who is wiithout a coach and was booed off by some fans, said: "I did a couple things in the off-season that I'm probably not going to do next time. My body's not in good enough shape. You live and you learn."
Kyrgrios said he was likely to pull out of the doubles with his British partner Dan Evans, who defeated seventh seed Marin Cilic in the singles.
Federer is attempting to defy a difficult draw and a lack of preparation to become the second oldest male Grand Slam winner in the Open era.
If he is to add to his 17 major titles, he will have to pass more testing examinations than that posed by world number 200 Rubin, but Federer admitted he had leaned on his experience against the 20-year-old.
"I have played out here many, many times, that's my advantage maybe," he said, after claiming victory in two hours four minutes.
"If I could have signed (a contract) to be in the third round, feeling this way, weeks or days or a month ago, I would have taken it.
"I'm still hoping to feel better and better and better as we go along."
Federer beat Berdych in straight sets in last year's quarter-finals in Melbourne, but has lost to the Czech in the US Open and at Wimbledon.
"I'm sure he would like to beat me here too," added Federer.
Fifth seed Kei Nishikori overcame France's Jeremy Chardy.
The 27-year-old from Japan, who has reached the quarter-finals in the past two years, came through 6-3 6-4 6-3 in two hours six minutes to set up a meeting with Slovak qualifier Lukas Lacko.
Nishikori is seeded to face Britain's Andy Murray in the last eight.
Fourth seed Stan Wawrinka brushed aside American Steve Johnson 6-3 6-4 6-4, while France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also came through in straight sets, against Serbia's Dusan Lajovic.
Australia's Bernard Tomic secured a spot in the third round with a 7-5 7-6 (7-4) 4-6 7-6 (7-5) win over Dominican Victor Estrella Burgos.

The England prop referred to Lee, who is from the Traveller community, as "Gypsy boy" during England's win at Twickenham.
The Six Nations accepted Marler's private and public apology and imposed no punishment.
"As far as I'm concerned that should be the end of the matter," said Ritchie.
World Rugby has since begun an investigation into the process behind clearing Marler and could yet enforce sanctions on the 25-year-old - but Ritchie has backed the Six Nations' disciplinary rulings.
"Let's take some perspective and let's not deflect from what we did in terms of the Grand Slam," added Ritchie.
"What Joe said was entirely inappropriate. He recognised that, he apologised very quickly and has apologised publicly since then.
"It's pretty clear that nobody made a complaint about it, and I think Samson Lee's reaction to it has been evident and he accepted the apology.
"[England coach] Eddie Jones and I spoke about it and when Eddie talks to someone that person is left in no doubt as to the appropriate nature of his behaviour, and that it should not be repeated.
"There was no citing officer complaint, there was no referee complaint and the Six Nations looked at the matter fully as well and came to a conclusion."
Campaigners from the Traveller community - and figures inside the sport - had been critical of Marler for making the comment and called for a ban.
The Harlequins player apologised to Lee, who said he accepted the comment as "banter".
Wales head coach Warren Gatland also described the incident as "banter", but subsequently apologised following criticism.
The Welsh Rugby Union's questioning of the punishment caused England head coach Jones to accuse them of trying to derail his side's Grand Slam bid.
Shipping, public transport and civil service departments were among sectors hit in a bid to stop the introduction of tax and pension changes.
The sudden 48-hour strike on Friday and Saturday was called in addition to action previously planned for Sunday.
Greece's left-led government is due to a vote on the tax changes on Sunday.
The next tranche of about €5bn (£4bn) is overdue, after talks with Greece's international lenders faltered over the pace of reforms.
Unions said a proposed overhaul of the pensions system and rises in social security contributions were designed to win favour with eurozone finance ministers, who are due to discuss Greece's bailout money on Monday.
Greece's largest labour union, the private sector GSEE, said the changes, were the "last nail on the coffin" for workers and pensioners. A spokesman said: "They are trying to prove to the Eurogroup that they are good students but they are destroying Greece's social security system."
In Athens, no public transport service was working on Friday morning as metro, tram, bus and rail workers refused to work.
Train services across the country were halted, and ferries linking mainland Greece to the islands remained anchored in port. The strike by the powerful PNO seafarers union's strike is set to last until Tuesday morning.
Air travel was not affected by the strike. Airport workers staged their own industrial action last month.
The nationwide strikes are the fourth to be called since Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras's government won re-election after organising a referendum on the country's bailout.
Mr Tsipras was elected on an initial anti-austerity pledge but later signed up to Greece's third international bailout since 2010. He has a thin majority with 153 MPs in a 300-seat parliament.
Hickman won the opening Superstock and Supersport races and after being pipped by Anstey in the main Superbike race, then took a second Supersport win.
After Hickman's engine blew early on in Superbike Race 2, Harrison edged out Dan Kneen in a dramatic finale.
Ivan Lintin, Davy Morgan and Paul Robinson also earned wins.

Lintin produced a remarkable final-corner passing manoeuvre to pip Dan Cooper in the Supertwins event while Northern Ireland riders Morgan and Robinson took the victories in the concurrently-run lightweight/ultra-lightweight class.
After the death of Wigan rider Jamie Hodson at the meeting on Thursday and further crashes that left other riders Stephen Lynd and Gavin Lupton in a critical condition in hospital, competitors on Saturday escaped serious injury.
Hickman, riding a Smith's BMW, led the opening Superstock race from the start as he finished 4.67 seconds ahead of Harrison, with Kneen in third.
Lincolnshire man Hickman, 30, fought out a thrilling duel with Anstey in Supersport Race 1 before eventually edging out the New Zealand veteran by 0.188 seconds, with Fermanagh rider Lee Johnston less than a second off the pace in third.
However, 48-year-old Anstey got his revenge in the blue riband seven-lap feature Superbike race as he pipped Hickman to earn his 13th Ulster Grand Prix win.
Hickman led going into the final lap after passing Anstey at Jordan's Cross on the penultimate circuit but the New Zealander refused to be denied as he regained the advantage to clinch a triumph which was greeted by the loudest cheer of the day at the start-finish area.
"Clive [Padgett, the team boss] has just put forward an awesome package with that bike and that was a pretty awesome race with Hickman," said the Wellington man.
Hickman regrouped to clinch his third win of the day in a restarted Supersport Race 2 as he held off Anstey and Fermanagh rider Lee Johnston after a sensational last lap.
Fermanagh man Johnston, back in action after breaking his back in a crash at the Isle of Man TT two months ago, attempted a couple of incredible late passing manoeuvres as the leaders battled on a dramatic final lap.
But Hickman held his nerve to complete a sensational win as he finished 0.31 seconds ahead of Anstey with Johnston a further 0.57 back in third.
Hickman looked favourite in the concluding Superbike Race 2 early on but a blown engine on lap two left the race wide open as Harrison, Kneen and Conor Cummins all led at stages.
Midway through the final lap, Isle of Man riders Kneen and Cummins almost had a coming together which allowed Bradford man Harrison to regain the lead.
Kneen moved ahead again late on the final circuit only for Harrison to somehow find a gap on the last corner to take a breathtaking victory.
The Manxman was unhappy with Harrison's late move. "I thought I covered the line but he just crashed into me really," said Kneen.
"If I was in that position, I would have given way. That was a bit hairy."
Harrison said: "There was a bit of rubbing and elbow bashing out there but we're all back in the winners' enclosure in one piece."
Lintin's earlier Supertwins win was almost as dramatic as he had only 0.02 seconds to spare from Cooper after another final-corner move.
The race had been a pedestrian affair as Lintin had a comfortable lead before Cooper stormed ahead midway through the final lap but the Supertwins specialist produced his late overtaking heroics to earn a third Ulster Grand Prix win in the class.
Northern Ireland's Adam McLean was third, 22 seconds behind Lintin.
Saintfield man Davy Morgan won the lightweight class ahead of Welsh veteran Paul Owen after the retirement of runaway leader Neil Kernohan while Ballymoney rider Paul Robinson edged out Christian Elkin by 0.21 seconds in the concurrently-run Ultra-Lightweight class.
Leaflets from Birmingham City Council were given to buskers on Saturday banning them from the High Street, New Street, and four city squares.
The decision was taken after "a significant increase in footfall" on previous weekends, the council said.
Its statement said "crowd control measures" were used for "the continued safety of buskers and the public".
A spokesman said this was a "one-day restriction" but the option to introduce a ban on future dates "remains open".
Buskers were still allowed to perform in other parts of the city centre on Saturday, the council said.
Network Rail said Birmingham New Street station has been "exceptionally busy" at times during the run up to Christmas.
"On Saturday 6 December, 206,000 people used the station - that represents an additional 70,000 people compared to an average day," a spokeswoman said.
Almost five million people travelled to Birmingham last year during the period of the Frankfurt Christmas Market, council figures showed.
Dow was never going to appear on the wrap during the Games, under IOC rules.
But the firm agreed it will also not appear on "test panels" beforehand.
The involvement of US multinational Dow, which manufactures chemicals, had caused controversy due to its links to the firm behind the deadly 1984 Bhopal gas disaster in India.
The highly prominent wrap, which will be 900m (0.56 miles) long and 20m (67ft) high, will surround the stadium.
A Locog spokeswoman said: "There will definitely not be any Dow Chemical branding on the wrap before, during or after the Olympic Games.
"There was discussion about (having the branding on) the test panels but Dow Chemical have now agreed to adhere to what we call our 'clean policy'."
Dow, the world's second-largest chemical manufacturer, is a major sponsor, becoming a Worldwide Olympic Partner in 2010 in a deal which lasts until 2020.
Under strict IOC "clean venue" rules no company is allowed to advertise during the period of the Games.
However the company said it had had the option to feature its branding on five "test panels" which would appear before the event but had agreed with Locog during the summer not to take up this right.
"In mid-summer, Locog and Dow discussed Dow deferring the rights to these five panels to allow free and full execution of the design as determined by Locog," a Dow spokesman said.
"Dow agreed to this to support Locog's and London 2012's vision for the stadium wrap."
In 1999, Dow merged with the Union Carbide Corporation, whose subsidiary Union Carbide India ran the Bhopal pesticide plant where the leak happened. It is considered to be one of the world's worst industrial disasters.
London 2012: Latest Olympic news, sport, features and programmes from the BBC
Rights groups, some athletes and Indian and British politicians have called for the company's sponsorship to be shelved.
Dow has said in the past that its $470m (£288m) settlement for those affected by the tragedy is fair and final.
The company insists that while the past must never be forgotten, its "position as a Worldwide Olympic Partner" represents its "vision for the future".
Earlier this month, India instructed its Olympics officials to raise the issue of Dow Chemical's sponsorship of the Games with Locog.
The sports ministry told the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to convey its concerns, saying there was "strong public sentiment" on the issue.
In November, the IOA said there was "no question" of a boycott of the Games amid the furore over Dow.
London 2012 chairman Lord Coe has previously defended Dow's role, saying he was satisfied, "that at no time did Dow operate, own or were involved with the plant either at the time of the [1984] disaster or crucially at the time of the full and final settlement".
Dow became one of 11 Worldwide Olympic Partners in 2010, joining companies that include Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Samsung, Panasonic and Visa.
The local authority will give out a total of £275,000 towards a variety of events in 2017/18.
The biggest single grants go to the Wigtown Book Festival and the Big Burns Supper in Dumfries.
However, they both face a reduction in their funding along with two other "signature events" - Spring Fling and Dumfries and Galloway Arts Festival.
A package of £94,000 has been recommended for four major events to be shared as follows:
A council panel agreed they could all see a reduction in funding after previous support had helped them to reach "much greater self-sufficiency".
It said backing should be directed at supporting a "new portfolio of growth events".
Funding for a further 12 events has been recommended with the full breakdown:
Both the Scottish Rally and the Galloway Hills Rally are to receive funding under the proposals.
The former will maintain its £21,000 support but the latter will have its financial backing cut from £9,000 to £6,000.
A total of £14,000 has also been allocated towards developing the overall festivals sector.
However, four events appear to have failed in their bids for council support.
No contribution has been recommended to the Challenger Series curling at Dumfries Ice Bowl, the Nithraid River Festival, the Sanctuary public art event in the Galloway Forest Park and the Ukulele Festival of Scotland.

Team GB finished behind the first-placed United States and China in second, but they could not be caught by fourth-placed Russia.
"This is our greatest performance of our greatest team at the greatest Olympics ever," Hunt told the BBC.

GB finished with 65 medals, with 29 gold, 17 silver and 19 bronze.
It surpassed their total of 47 at the 2008 Beijing Games and the target of at least 48 set by UK Sport.
"It's been a massive privilege to do this," Hunt said on BBC Olympic Breakfast. "The performance of the athletes has been extraordinary and the collaboration across British sport to make it happen has been nothing like we've ever seen before.
It's lifted the whole country, brought people together and it's been a fantastic performance. I'm very proud of what we've done
"Combine that with the support of the British public and it's been magical. We know that 70% of athletes usually do not win a medal at an Olympic Games. We've unquestionably exceeded our expectations."
after China's extraordinary performance in Beijing, but the poor display from Australia with just seven golds is equally noteworthy.
Four years ago in Beijing, the US, who had previously come first in each Olympics since they boycotted the 1980 Games, were knocked off the top of the overall podium.
But they have restored their position as the leading medal-winning nation with 45 golds and 103 medals in total.
GB's first medal of the Games was won by cyclist Lizzie Armitstead after she took silver in the road race. Then, following Heather Stanning and Helen Glover's gold in the women's rowing pair, the gold rush continued.
Boxer Anthony Joshua took Team GB's gold-medal tally to 29 after defeating Italy's Roberto Cammarelle in the super-heavyweight final on Sunday.
Samantha Murray then won Great Britain's 65th and final medal when she took silver in the modern pentathlon in the final event of the Games.

"It has been an extraordinary few weeks for our country," the Prime Minister told BBC Olympic Breakfast. "It's lifted the whole country, brought people together and it's been a fantastic performance. I'm very proud of what we've done.
"When I started looking at this I was impressed with coming fourth in Beijing. Think about that for a minute.
"We're a country of 60 million people and we are up against Russia, Germany, China, America and India. Coming fourth in the world was, I thought, pretty amazing and I thought holding on to fourth place would be a huge challenge. Yet this year we've produced incredible results.
"It's been a massive self-confidence boost. We can all feel that we don't just have a great past behind us but we have a great future ahead of us.
"This is a very confident country that has delivered something on time, on budget and superbly well done. We are a country that cannot just deliver but shines when it does so."
British Olympic Association chairman Colin Moynihan said the face of British sport would be "transformed" by the Games and paid tribute to the way female role models had come to the fore.
Moynihan admitted he had not expected GB to beat Russia in the medals table and said every sport would have a review of its performance to see why it did well or did not live up to expectations.
Thousands of residents will be asked to capture images as part of a project by Oxford and Harvard archaeologists.
The photos should allow academics to use 3D printers to build replicas of damaged buildings and artefacts.
There is said to be a renewed urgency after a temple in the Syrian city of Palmyra was destroyed by IS militants.
The project by the Institute for Digital Archaeology intends to distribute up to 5,000 cameras in conflict zones across the world and capture about one million images of at-risk objects by the end of 2016.
"This is a race against time," its executive director Roger Michel told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme. "We've changed our timetable in recognition of the places being destroyed."
Although countless ordinary photos have been taken of the sites, the 3D technology the team is using will allow them to potentially recreate the objects as well.
The team has designed a cheap 3D camera that will allow inexperienced users to capture high-quality images that will be uploaded automatically to an online database.
Mr Michel said: "Digital archaeology, in my view, is the best hope that we have for preserving the architecture, the art history, of these sites."
"Distribution is the biggest challenge," he added.
Officials will also work with Unesco to give the cameras out to locals, who are keen to lend a hand in the project.
Mr Michel said: "All around the Middle East, they feel so strongly about their local identity and history that they're willing to help."
It puts an end to the 13 years in power of her left-wing Workers' Party. Ms Rousseff had denied the charges.
Sixty-one senators voted in favour of her dismissal and 20 against, meeting the two-thirds majority needed to remove her from the presidency.
Michel Temer has been sworn in as president and will serve out Ms Rousseff's term until 1 January 2019.
The centre-right PMDB party politician had been serving as acting president during the impeachment proceedings.
During his first cabinet meeting since the vote, Mr Temer said his inauguration marked a "new era".
He asked his ministers to "vigorously defend" the government from accusations that Ms Rousseff's dismissal amounted to a coup d'etat.
"We can't leave one accusation unanswered," he said during the meeting, which was broadcast live on television.
He also told ministers to work closely with the Congress to revive the Brazilian economy. Mr Temer is travelling to China to take part in a summit of the G-20 group of major economies.
The dismissal of Ms Rousseff has caused a rift between Brazil and three left-wing South American governments that criticised the move later on Wednesday.
Brazil and Venezuela recalled each other's ambassadors. Brazilian envoys to Bolivia and Ecuador have also been ordered home.
Ms Rousseff lost the impeachment battle but won a separate Senate vote that had sought to ban her from public office for eight years.
Pledging to appeal against her dismissal, she told her supporters: "I will not say goodbye to you. I am certain I can say: 'See you soon.'"
She added: "They have convicted an innocent person and carried out a parliamentary coup."
Anti-Temer demonstrations were held in many cities, including Brasilia.
Ms Rousseff was suspended in May after the Senate voted to go ahead with the impeachment process.
She was accused of moving funds between government budgets, which is illegal under Brazilian law.
Her critics said she was trying to plug deficit holes in popular social programmes to boost her chances of being re-elected in 2014.
Ms Rousseff fought the allegations, arguing that her right-wing rivals had been trying to remove her from office ever since her re-election.
She said that she was being ousted because she had allowed a wide-ranging corruption investigation to go ahead, which resulted in many high-profile politicians being charged.
Dilma Rousseff's impeachment trial in the Senate has raised important questions about Brazil's democratic institutions.
Was she ousted for having committed a crime - or was that just a pretext to remove a president who had lost control of the economy and politics?
Her fiscal manoeuvres were thoroughly examined during the sessions, but it was not just that which was on trial.
Her government policies, her U-turn on the economy after the election and corruption in her party were constantly part of the debate.
Also, as the trial unfolded, Michel Temer's interim government started its work reforming the economy and outlining new policies.
Senators - and Brazilians - knew that the question of condemning Ms Rousseff went beyond just deciding technically whether she was guilty or not.

But senators who voted in favour of her removal said it was Ms Rousseff and the Workers' Party who were corrupt and needed to go.
Mr Temer, who will govern until 1 January 2019, has promised to boost Brazil's economy, which is going through its longest and deepest recession in the past quarter of a century.
His critics have already warned that he plans to cut many of the popular social programmes introduced by the Workers' Party.
The singer, actress and former X Factor judge has been cast as Penny, the dance partner of lead character Jonny Castle, the Hollywood Reporter said.
Dancer and actor Colt Prattes is to play Jonny, with Oscar-nominee Abigail Breslin playing opposite him as Baby Houseman in the show by US network ABC.
Scherzinger tweeted she was "so excited" to join the cast.
The three-hour remake, which will be directed by The Sapphires director Wayne Blair, has yet to get a transmission date.
Set in the summer of 1963, Dirty Dancing is the song-and-dance love story about 17-year-old Baby, originally played by Jennifer Grey, who falls for her working-class dance instructor, Johnny Castle - played by Patrick Swayze.
The role of Penny was played by Cynthia Rhodes in the 1987 film.
Eleanor Bergstein, who wrote the screenplay for the original movie and was also behind the successful Dirty Dancing musical, is on board for the small screen adaptation to be produced by Lionsgate TV.
Previously in 2011, Lionsgate announced plans to remake the film for the big screen, with Kenny Ortega - who choreographed the original and directed High School Musical - at the helm.
The 30-year-old Englishman was released after playing only once in 18 months following an April 2015 knee injury.
But he signed a one-year contract with their Scottish Premiership rivals.
"As long as I get a good crack of the whip, and Craig will probably say the same, I'm happy and I back myself to fight for that jersey," said Brill.
Samson himself has had to be patient for his chance, the 32-year-old Scot having been second-choice behind on-loan Middlesbrough goalkeeper Connor Ripley for most of the season after switching from Kilmarnock last summer.
"We are both experienced enough," said Brill. "We have both been in the game and possibly in this situation before. I certainly have.
"And it's one I'm looking forward to and relishing. He is a good guy as well as a good goalkeeper, but I want to be playing and, come the start of the season, that's where I hope to be."
Brill was unable to win his place back from Owain Fon Williams at Caley Thistle after his return from injury - the Welshman's form also securing a spot in his country's squad at the Euro 2016 finals.
"It was a big operation," said the former Luton Town, Oldham Athletic and Barnet goalkeeper who joined Caley Thistle in 2013.
"But I was lucky enough to have the best surgeon in the UK, which I'm grateful to Inverness for.
"I will always be grateful to them for looking after me.
"But I have been in full training since the end of March and played five or six games for the Inverness Under-20s, so I feel I have fully come through it."
They were recognised for their "non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work".
Mrs Sirleaf is Africa's first female elected head of state, Ms Gbowee is a Liberian peace activist and Ms Karman is a leading figure in Yemen's pro-democracy movement.
"We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women achieve the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society," said Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland in Oslo.
Reading from the prize citation, he said the committee hoped the prize would "help to bring an end to the suppression of women that still occurs in many countries, and to realise the great potential for democracy and peace that women can represent".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel - deemed by Forbes the world's most powerful woman - called the award a "wise decision".
But Mrs Sirleaf's main rival in polls this coming Tuesday, Winston Tubman, told the BBC she did not deserve the prize and was a "warmonger".
Mrs Karman heard of her win from protest camp Change Square in the capital Sanaa, where she has been living for several months calling for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to stand down.
She was recognised for playing a leading part in the struggle for women's rights in Yemen's pro-democracy protests "in the most trying circumstances" and is the first Arab woman to win the prize.
As the head of Yemeni organisation Women Journalists without Chains, Mrs Karman has been jailed several times.
Mrs Karman told BBC Arabic she was dedicating it to "all the martyrs and wounded of the Arab Spring" - the wave of unrest which has swept the Middle East and North Africa in the past year - and to "all the free people who are fighting for their rights".
Mr Jagland said the oppression of women was "the most important issue" in the Arab world and that awarding the prize to Ms Karman was "giving the signal that if it [the Arab Spring] is to succeed with efforts to make democracy, it has to include women".
Mrs Sirleaf, 72, who had been widely tipped as a winner, said the award was "for all Liberian people" and a recognition of "many years of struggle for justice".
She was elected in 2005, following the end of Liberia's bloody and ruinous 14-year civil war.
Upon coming to office, the US-educated economist and former finance minister - known as Liberia's "Iron Lady" - pledged to fight corruption and bring "motherly sensitivity and emotion to the presidency".

Mrs Sirleaf is standing in Tuesday's election, having previously said she would only hold the presidency for one term.
Her rival Mr Tubman denounced the award, saying she had "brought war here".
She had initially backed the rebels of Charles Taylor - currently on trial for war crimes in The Hague.
Although she has apologised, Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommended that she be barred from holding public office for 30 years.
"I did more to stop the war than she did because she was for continuing the war," Mr Tubman said.
"Now that the war has stopped she wants to continue on top of the country as though she is some liberator. She is not."
He told AFP news agency the timing of the award was "provocative".
But Archbishop Desmond Tutu and U2 singer Bono welcomed Mrs Sirleaf's honouring, with Mr Tutu telling AFP: "Woo hoo. She deserves it many times over. She's brought stability to a place that was going to hell."
Her compatriot Ms Gbowee was a leading critic of the violence during the Liberian civil war, mobilising women across ethnic and religious lines in peace activism and encouraging them to participate in elections.
In 2003 she led a march through the capital, Monrovia, demanding an end to the rape of women by soldiers.
The Nobel Committee said she had "worked to enhance the influence of women in West Africa during and after war".
Ms Gbowee told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme: "I am confused. I am humbled. This is the first time in the 39 years of my life that I am out of words.

"This is a victory for women rights everywhere in the world. What could be better then three women winning the prize?
"This is the recognition that we hear you, we see you, we acknowledge you."
The women will share the $1.5m (£1m) prize money.
The BBC's world affairs correspondent Mike Wooldridge says that the Nobel Peace Prize originally recognised those who had already achieved peace, but that its scope has broadened in recent years to encourage those working towards peace and acknowledge work in progress.
The Nobel committee received a record 241 nominations for this year's prize - among the individuals and groups believed to have been put forward were the European Union, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and key cyber dissidents in the Arab Spring movement.
Highlights from the opening round of tee times include the grouping of Masters champion Danny Willett, US Open champion Dustin Johnson and Open champion Henrik Stenson.
The defending champion, Australian Jason Day, has been grouped with Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and American Phil Mickelson.
It is only the second time that the New Jersey course has hosted the US PGA Championship, having last done so in 2005, with the winner taking home 1.8 million dollars.

Eye consultant Amar Alwitry was due to start at Jersey's General Hospital in December 2012 but was told a week before by the States Employment Board (SEB) his contract had been terminated.
Mr Alwitry said he had queried the safety of certain practices.
SEB said it was considering future legal action over the findings.
The board said it had noted the report's observations and expressed "significant disappointment" regarding a number of conclusions which it said it would not comment on.
Mr Alwitry, who was born in Jersey, said he was "absolutely gutted" when his contract was withdrawn "completely out of the blue".
He said: "I didn't eat for a week.
"My plan was always to come home to serve the people and so I've tailored my entire career to that aim."
The glaucoma specialist said he was told by senior staff at the hospital to "put up or shut up" when he suggested it would be unsafe for him to operate on a Friday unless senior colleagues could provide emergency care over the weekend.
The States Complaints Panel found managers had terminated Mr Alwitry's contract based on their subjective beliefs he was a "trouble maker" and the decision making process was not sufficiently transparent.
It said this reflected "19th Century" practices and it criticised the HR directorate and the then Solicitor General Howard Sharp QC for failing to recognise those problems.
"On a personal level the decision to terminate Dr. Alwitry's contract of employment has destroyed his professional life", the panel said.
Mr Alwitry said he had not found a permanent NHS position since he had resigned as a substantive consultant in Derby to move to Jersey and is considering legal action. | The withdrawal of a doctor's contract was "contrary to law, unjust, oppressive", a government complaints panel has found. | 36,706,647 | 387 | 32 | false |
The ban was imposed in December after the club breached the League's Financial Fair Play regulations.
The Whites exceeded the permitted loss of £6m in 2014-15 following their relegation from the Premier League.
Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic was able to make three loan signings in January despite the embargo.
"With the embargo now lifted, the club will continue to pursue its targets in an effort to ensure it has a squad capable of competing successfully in the 2016-17 Championship," said a statement on the club website.
Midfielder Scott Parker and goalkeeper Jesse Joronen have signed new one-year deals at Craven Cottage since the end of the season.

First modelling for a fashion photographer when she was just 13, she has gone on to enjoy a long - and very lucrative - career in front of the camera.
From the catwalks of the world's main fashion weeks, to photo shoots on tropical beaches, the British model has enjoyed a jet-set lifestyle.
And by 2013, Ms Cole had amassed an estimated fortune of £4m, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
Now 28, she has worked for brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Jean Paul Gaultier and Versace.
Yet in addition to all the glitz and glamour, Ms Cole took time out from modelling in her early 20s to attend top UK university Cambridge, which she graduated from in 2011 with a double first in the history of art.
In recent years Ms Cole has increasingly branched out into acting, with roles in films such as Snow White and the Huntsman, and TV shows including Doctor Who.
Today she says she has mostly left the modelling work behind her, and instead divides her working life between her acting projects and her time running a social enterprise called Impossible.
Impossible is a website through which people can arrange to do a job for someone else for free. Part of the so-called gift or sharing economy, users can both request for something to be done, such as find someone to walk their dog, or offer a service, such as guitar lessons.
Ms Cole says she had long had the thought in the back of her mind, and decided to start London-based Impossible in December 2013 after her friends kept saying it was such a good idea.
The launch was widely reported, and it is fair to say that some of the coverage was sceptical. A number of critics accused Ms Cole of being too idealistic or even naive.
Meanwhile others said Impossible - which is also a not-for-profit social enterprise - was self-indulgent. They argued that while it is fine for a multimillionaire to launch such a venture, the rest of us would need it to be make a profit.
A steely Ms Cole, who also actively campaigns to promote the social enterprise model, and the need for all companies to improve their social and environmental impact, says she has no time for such critics.
"I wouldn't even bother giving them [the critics] my opinion," she says.
"You can be business minded and still be socially responsible. Social business has been tried and tested, and even though it is not the norm, there are lots of examples of it working that you can point to."
Born in Devon in southwest England, and then raised in London, Ms Cole says that although running Impossible can be "challenging", it is "definitely more enjoyable than modelling".
While Impossible has yet to break even, she says it now has thousands of users in 121 different countries, and had seen fivefold annual growth.
Ms Cole adds that she and her team at Impossible - seven paid staff and a number of volunteers - are also working towards the business eventually making money, which will then be invested back in the operation.
Although users who share their services do not have to pay Impossible any money, they have the option to pay a monthly subscription, which Ms Cole says is "a voluntary payment, so almost like a donation".
To encourage users to do this, subscribers get an Impossible email address, and free magazines.
Impossible also has an online marketplace, which sells ethically produced products made by third parties, from whom it takes a sales commission.
Ms Cole says: "It is challenging for any new business to succeed from a profit perspective. When you couple that with caring about your social and environmental impact makes it even harder.
"This is because you can't be so aggressive with your margins, you can't feel OK with not paying people enough, or having a negative environmental impact. And there is a financial cost to doing the right thing that makes it more challenging.
"Yet it is totally possible [to make money and be socially responsible], you just have to think creatively."
Looking ahead, Ms Cole predicts that the number of social enterprises will only continue to grow, because a rising number of socially and environmentally aware young people are demanding it from the companies and products they use. "It is becoming more and more of a priority," she says.
Ms Cole says her working life puts her in two totally different worlds. One week she might be filming on location, while the next she is back in London at the Impossible offices filling in a spread sheet, or "geeking out over how we interpret our data better".
She also makes time to attend events which promote social enterprise, such as attending the finals of a scheme called The Venture, which is organised by whisky brand Chivas. The Venture is a global competition for would-be young social entrepreneurs.
Sophie Gallois, managing direct of Chivas, says: "Social enterprise is a subject that Lily is clearly very passionate about.
"The points she raised at the Chivas The Venture discussion really highlighted the importance for big business to take more responsibility for their social impact."
For other idealistic young people who want to set up a social enterprise to help change the world for the better, Ms Cole says they should focus instead on a very small customer base to begin with.
"It is so easy to get swept up in imagining a massive world-changing idea, but instead you need to start lean, and get something right for a small audience first," she says.
"And from there you can grow in scale."
Wilson, who has been with City for 10 years, will work along manager David Moyes and chief executive Martin Bain from 1 January.
Bain said Wilson will have input into "scouting, recruitment, medical services, player pathways and youth development" in the new role.
He previously worked with Moyes at Preston North End.
"My role will be to ensure that we have the best practices, systems and people in place in order to give the club the best platform to achieve its goals," said Wilson.
The 30-year-old midfielder has made 59 appearances for the Magpies since joining from Rotherham in 2015.
"My performances improved throughout the campaign, so I want to carry that form into next year," Milsom told the club's official website.
The length of his new contract has not been disclosed but Notts chairman Alan Hardy said: "We're delighted to have him on board for the new season."
Milsom began his career as a trainee at Fulham and had had a two-year spell in Scotland with Aberdeen before joining Rotherham.
He has not scored a senior goal since September 2013 but aims to put that right next season.
"Goalscoring is something I want to work on," he added. "I like to get up and down the pitch so if I can add goals to my game it will only help the team."
The Northern Irishman was in last place following the first round at Dundonald in Ayrshire after three closing double bogeys saw him card an eight-over 80.
Clarke pulled out of the Scottish event on Friday morning but indicated that his withdrawal was precautionary.
The 2011 Open champion, 48, hasn't made a cut on the European Tour this year.
2016 European Ryder Cup captain Clarke, now ranked 1016 in the world, has missed 13 successive cuts since last year's Open and has not had a top-10 finish on the European Tour since his 2011 major triumph at Royal St George's.
Clarke plans to continue his career on the seniors tour when he turns 50 in August of next year.
An independent commission found that from September 2014 to April 2016 Bunyard placed 45 bets against Frome and his former club Paulton Rovers.
Football Association rules prohibit "all those involved in the game" from betting on football "that takes place anywhere in the world".
Frome suspended Bunyard in April when made aware of the FA's investigation.
The FA also fined Bunyard £3,000.
Bunyard became Frome manager in August 2015 and his suspension by the club arrived late in a campaign where the Robins lost just two of their last 14 matches to avoid relegation.
Assistant manager Josh Jeffries took charge as they ended the 2015-16 season 16th in the Southern League - England's seventh tier.
The commission examined 97 bets made by Bunyard but dismissed an FA charge that he had allegedly breached an interim ban placed on him on 24 June.
Frome Town expect to make a statement on Thursday.
Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne completed only 40 laps - just 11 more than team-mate Fernando Alonso on Monday.
With a quarter of pre-season testing gone, McLaren have completed 69 slow laps. Mercedes have done more than 300.
Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari was fastest on Tuesday, from Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes and Max Verstappen's Red Bull.
Vandoorne finished the day 10th fastest of 11 drivers and 4.6 seconds off the pace.
Honda has introduced a new engine layout for this season, following the design philosophy used by Mercedes since the start of the turbo hybrid formula in 2014.
Honda F1 engine boss Yusuke Hasegawa said at the launch of the McLaren car last Friday that he believed the Japanese company could match by the start of the season the power levels achieved by Mercedes at the end of 2016. Mercedes are understood to have made another step since then.
But the technology involved is complicated and Honda has so far not managed to make the engine work in the car.
On Monday, Alonso's problem was caused by a new oil-tank design that was not scavenging the oil effectively.
Vandoorne completed 29 laps on Tuesday morning before another engine problem kept him in the pits for several hours.
He returned to the track for the final hour but did just 11 laps. One was enough to move him off the bottom of the time sheets.
Honda has not yet said what the problem was with the engine Vandoorne used on Tuesday.
"We would have liked to put in more laps," Vandoorne said. "Hopefully overnight we can analyse what went wrong and come back with a reliable car tomorrow.
"This was my first day of testing, Fernando didn't get many laps in yesterday, so tomorrow and after tomorrow are going to be important days for us."

While McLaren toiled, Mercedes and Ferrari continued their impressive starts to their 2017 campaigns at Spain's Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Hamilton was fastest in the morning, when he completed 66 laps - the length of the Spanish Grand Prix.
Team-mate Valtteri Bottas took over the car in the afternoon and completed the first full race-simulation run of the winter.
But it was Raikkonen who set the pace, with a lap in one minute 20.960 seconds - 0.023secs quicker than Hamilton.
Raikkonen was using the 'soft' tyre when he set his lap and Hamilton the faster super-soft. But Hamilton lost 0.3secs in the last sector of the lap compared to his best time on the soft tyre, which suggests he could have gone faster.
It is in any case unwise to use headline lap times in testing as a guide to form as it is impossible to know the fuel loads of the cars, how hard the engines are being pushed or the specification they are running in.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen was third fastest, ahead of the Haas of Kevin Magnussen.
Williams rookie Lance Stroll had a difficult start to his 2017 campaign, spinning at Turn Nine after just 12 laps.
The 18-year-old Canadian damaged the front wing and that ended his running for the day as Williams needed to send back to their factory in Oxfordshire for replacements, which will not arrive in Spain until Wednesday morning.
"It is unfortunate," he said. "One front wing, a spin, a little winglet [damaged], but that is Formula 1. The car is very complex. There is not a lot of room for error.
"I'm just getting to grips with the car. A little spin. I drove back to the paddock. Sometimes these things happen, but no, not a dent in the confidence."

Mr Obama will travel to the capital Addis Ababa in late July to meet with the Ethiopian government and African Union leaders.
The president will be in Kenya before that on a previously announced trip, visiting his father's homeland for the first time as leader.
He has previously visited Ghana, Egypt, Senegal, Tanzania, and South Africa.
The US leader will participate in a global entrepreneurship summit while in Kenya.
In Ethiopia, he will discuss how to "accelerate economic growth, strengthen democratic institutions, and improve security," White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters.
The Nikkei 225 index closed up 0.03% at 19,697.77.
Japan's core machinery orders - seen as a good indicator of company spending - rose by 7.5% in September from a month earlier, the first rise in four months.
Orders were down 1.7% from a year earlier, but this was not as bad as forecasts for a drop of about 4%.
While the numbers were better than expected, analysts said they still reflected the continuing slowdown in China, one of Japan's most important trading partners.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 index also closed flat, up just 0.06% at 5,125.70 despite strong jobs numbers.
The economy created 58,600 net new jobs in October, the data showed, with the jobless rate dropping to 5.9% from 6.2%.
South Korea's benchmark Kospi index closed down 0.15% at 1,994.75 after the Bank of Korea kept its interest rate on hold.
The one bright spot in the region was Hong Kong where the benchmark Hang Seng index was up 1.98% at 22,793.03, boosted by technology shares.
Shares in Chinese computer and smartphone giant Lenovo rose 5% after its losses for the three months to September were not has bad as expected.
The company reported a net loss of $714m after taking hefty charges to cover restructuring costs, but this was not as bad as expectations for a loss of more than $785m.
Meanwhile, the Shanghai Composite was down 0.6% at 3,628.07 in late afternoon trade.
BG said pre-tax profits for the full year were $2.97bn (£2bn), compared with a loss of $2.3bn in 2014.
On a quarterly basis, BG's losses improved from $8.3bn in the final quarter of 2014 to a loss of $1.17bn for the same period in 2015.
BG's results have been affected by the falling oil price.
BG Group's chief executive, Helge Lund, said: "We are pleased to have delivered an excellent operational performance in 2015 with results in line with, or ahead of, our guidance for the year.
"This strong operational performance is the result of the capability and commitment of our teams across the organisation and we will deliver a high-performing business into the combination with Shell."
BG's results come in the same week as those from other energy giants, BP and Shell.
Both maintained their dividend payout to shareholders. BG said its shareholders would receive Shell's 2015 fourth-quarter dividend and would not receive a further BG Group dividend for 2015.
Shell's fourth-quarter dividend is 47 cents per Shell share, which is equivalent to 20.93 cents per BG Group share.
He, along with many others, wants the town's Muslims - part of the community for over 50 years - to build somewhere else.
Sounds reasonable? Perhaps.
Mind you, on at least three previous occasions over the past 10 years, Dudley Borough Council has asked Dudley Muslim Association to switch sites, only for the alternative location to fall through.
That's fed a suspicion that local politicians would really rather it wasn't built at all.
At Friday prayers this lunchtime, I watched as families arrived at the existing mosque.
It's a former Church of England School, with a couple of small minarets placed on top of the old chimney stacks, and a metal gateway inscribed with its purpose.
Worshippers say space for 500 that in 1977 was sufficient is no longer adequate. The proposed new building would allow 750 people to pray indoors.
The planning application, on derelict former industrial land, was finally approved at the end of last year.
The land, however, is the subject of a court case, with the council saying it should be used by an employer who will create jobs.
Kurshid Ahmed, of Dudley Muslim Association, told me they are willing to go to a different site yet again, but only if this time the council allows development to go ahead.
He says time that could have been spent on bigger problems facing the community, such as radicalisation of the young, has been spent on what should have been a straightforward planning issue.
All sides admit that, whatever the rights and wrongs, 10 years of this issue has done damage to what otherwise are good community relations.
The English Defence League has organised protests in the town; a similar group, Britain First, intends to do so days after the general election.
The parliamentary candidates are doing their best to ensure the mosque doesn't become an election issue. After all, issues like the economy and health are probably more important to voters in Dudley - including Muslims - than the saga of the mosque.
Yet ignoring it is not the answer. Unresolved, it remains something outsiders can exploit - both those seeking to radicalise young Muslims, and those who want to stir up hatred or distrust of one of the areas oldest and best established minorities.
In the past couple of days, I've experienced those sentiments first hand; the Muslim man from Birmingham who told me it was evidence of hostility to those of his faith; a man whose family came here from India but who blames Muslims for the deterioration of the area.
It's a sensitive subject for sure, and resolving it will upset someone.
Better, perhaps, to do that than leave it to fester and corrode trust in the political process for another 10 years.
Darren Downes said he believes "a lost dog" would have got better treatment than his missing 16-year-old son Ellis.
The teenager disappeared while playing in the River Thames at Culham, Oxfordshire, and private divers found his body nearby two days later.
A police watchdog will now investigate Thames Valley Police over the case.
Updates on this story and more from Oxfordshire
Speaking to BBC Radio Oxford, Mr Downes said on the evening his son went missing his family sat for "hours and hours" without any contact from the police.
He eventually discovered no divers had been used to search the river and his daughter Alex had to ring round private companies.
Thames Valley Police axed its specialist search and recovery team, which carried out underwater operations, as a result of budget cuts in 2014.
Mr Downes said: "We just felt totally left out and shocked, we really thought everything was being done.
"The way everything was handled from start to finish… was horrendous, absolutely horrendous. I think a lost dog would probably get better treatment."
Ellis disappeared on Saturday evening and private dive company Specialist Group International discovered his body at 23:00 BST on Monday, after answering a Facebook appeal.
But Mr Downes said the dive team was initially barred from entering the water, which delayed the search by several hours. Police relented when he threatened to "go down and jump in myself".
He said: "They [Specialist Group International] work all over the world and the police wouldn't let them go in the Thames in Abingdon.
"The police never really helped whatsoever... they were more concerned about where people were parking."
Dive team chief executive Peter Faulding has branded the police's obstruction of his team "disgusting" and said the operation was the worst he had seen in his career.
Thames Valley Police and Crime Commissioner Anthony Stansfeld also said he has concerns about the search and has asked the chief constable for an explanation.
Assistant Chief Constable Nikki Ross said the force was "aware of the family and community concerns around our actions following this tragic incident".
A spokeswoman said the force has referred itself to the Independent Police Complaints Commission over its handling of the case, so it would be "inappropriate" to comment further.
Kazeem Kadiri sneaked into the woman's bed in the middle of the night after being rejected by another woman with whom he and another man had been having a threesome.
During a trial at High Court in Livingston the 29-year-old victim gave evidence from behind a screen in closed court.
Judge Lady Stacey deferred sentence for social work reports.
The court heard the rape took place at a house in Livingston, West Lothian, in November 2010, after the woman, an Edinburgh office worker, had been on night out for a birthday celebration.
She admitted she had had well over 20 drinks and had gone to bed very drunk.
During the night she was woke to find a man lying on top of her. She told him to get off her and pushed him away.
She contacted the police the next morning after realising she had been raped.
During the trial, the jury heard forensic evidence that Kadiri's DNA matched samples taken from the woman's body.
Another woman, the householder, said she had invited Kadiri and another man, Bola Sodimu, 37, back from a nightclub at 03:00.
She said she had sex with both men but then had a "lightbulb moment" and told Kadiri she wanted to take his friend, who is also Nigerian, upstairs.
She told how she had to get up and close the door after she saw Kadiri on the stairs watching them.
"One or two minutes later" they heard the sound of two people having sex in the spare bedroom.
They went to the room and saw Kadiri sitting on the edge of the woman's bed in his boxer shorts.
Kadiri, 38, denied rape and claimed his victim had consented to sex.
But the jury returned a majority verdict of guilty.
Kadiri's name has been placed on the sex offenders' register.
The exchange rate for dollars fell by almost a third on the first day that Blizzard let people swap real cash for game gold.
At launch, players could spend $20 (£13) to get 30,000 gold coins to spend on gear in the fantasy game world.
But 24 hours later the same amount of cash netted players about 20,000.
Before now the only way that World of Warcraft players could artificially boost the fortunes of their characters was by visiting a grey-market site and surreptitiously buying gold from unlicensed vendors.
The practice was fraught with peril because it was technically a violation of the WoW terms and conditions. Anyone caught buying gold this way could have their account closed down.
Late last year Blizzard announced plans to introduce a $20 "game time token" that could be converted into WoW's internal currency. Currently only North American players of WoW can buy the token.
The tokens can be traded on the game's internal auction house for gold - effectively giving people a way to turn real money into virtual cash. Those with lots of WoW gold can buy the token and use it to pay for their subscription to the online game.
The token trading system went live on 8 April and initially the exchange rate for each one climbed past the 30,000 starting point. But within hours the dollar exchange rates fell sharply and are now hovering around 22,000 for $20.
Some speculated that the dollar exchange rate would fall further to reach those seen on grey-market sources of WoW gold, which currently offer 10,000 to 15,000 coins for $20.
Before the launch Blizzard said the exchange rate for tokens would be set by internal game metrics.
Alec Meer, of the game news site Rock, Paper, Shotgun, told the BBC that there had been some initial "overreaction" to the drop in value of each token.
"It doesn't spell doom," he said. "Blizzard is trialling something new. They went in high to see what would happen, and there's going to be a whole lot of fluctuation as a game with a population of several million adapts to it.
"I'm sure the long-term plan is simply to bring more transactions within Blizzard's purview, and in doing so potentially reduce the influence of gold farmers and keep people playing for longer," he added.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust's service "requires improvement".
In its recently-published report it said the provider achieved 82% of face-to-face consultations within two hours of assessment for urgent patients, compared to a target of 95%.
But the service was rated "good" for its patient care and responsiveness.
The November inspection focused on GP out-of-hours services at six health centres and hospitals in Oxfordshire:
Professor Steve Field, chief inspector of general practice, said overall there was "an open and transparent approach to safety" at the trust.
He added: "Patients said they were treated with compassion, dignity and... there was a comprehensive system in place to keep patients safeguarded from harm."
But he said 11 staff had not completed training in basic life support and performance standards had declined in 2016 "due to shortages of GPs and practitioners".
Prof Field said: "Some risks associated with managing prescriptions and cleanliness of treatment facilities had not been identified during monitoring of the service.
"The provider had not obtained evidence of some recruitment checks and mandatory training in a timely manner."
Trust communications manager Victoria Taylor said: "The inspection, which happened some months ago, identified a number of areas for improvement, all of which have been acted upon.
"Recruitment to the service remains a challenge due to many local GPs reaching retirement age, but we are continuing our recruitment efforts.
"We are proud that the service was rated 'good' for both its patient care and its responsiveness."
Double amputee Whitehead improved his own T42 200m world record at the venue where he won Paralympic gold.
Visually-impaired sprinter Clegg, now racing in the T11 category, was in record-breaking form in her 200m event.
But Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock lost out to American Jarryd Wallace.
Wallace won the battle of the amputee sprinters in the T44 100m with a time of 10.80 seconds to Peacock's 10.87.
There was also a defeat for wheelchair racer David Weir who finished third behind Swiss rival Marcel Hug and GB team-mate Richard Chiassaro in the T54 1500m.
But Rio-bound Hannah Cockroft (T34 100m), Jo Butterfield (F32/51 club throw) and Sophie Hahn (T38 100m) all recorded wins in their final big competition before the Games.
Listen: Whitehead smashes his own record
Whitehead, 40, was in blistering form, showing the benefits of the hard work he has done on his start to storm to victory in 23.03 seconds - beating his own mark of 23.46 set in Germany earlier this month.
"I wanted to be the first athlete to break a record on this track but Keni Harrison got there on Friday night," he told BBC Sport.
"Me and my coach Keith Antoine have worked on our race plan and I have put in a lot of start practice on the efficiency of my arms and legs.
"I worked so hard in the winter and I'm still in heavy training so I felt a bit tense at the back end but I ran a 22.69 in Newham this year and I want to get those sort of times in Rio."

Commonwealth champion Clegg, 26, showed she will be a force in the T11 category if she is selected for her third Games in Rio, with a time of 24.44 seconds to win her event.
Clegg and new guide Chris Clarke are still developing their pairing and the Scot now has to run wearing a blindfold, as per the rules of her new category after she underwent medical tests in Germany last weekend which saw her move from the T12 class.
"I'm gobsmacked with that performance," she told BBC Sport. "We are getting better and better with every race.
"It's been a big learning curve for me and for Chris but I am loving every minute of it so far.
"The category change has been quite daunting because it means my sight has got worse and also running with a blindfold is different, especially with a new guide, so it's a lot of change all at once. But we have taken it in our stride and we are looking forward to the future.
"I want to be on that podium in Rio and in the T11 category my main rivals are Brazilian so that makes it interesting and exciting."
BBC pundit and 11-time Paralympic champion Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson
The British team is in a really good place ahead of Rio and I was particularly impressed with T54 wheelchair racer Richard Chiassaro, who has made a huge jump this year.
I'm not sure David Weir did anything wrong but he still has plenty of time before the games and losing might give him an added incentive. However, for him, winning any medal in Rio will be great because of the strength in depth in that T54 category.
In the 100m, Hannah Cockroft has shown here that nobody can touch her and Sophie Hahn was another looking good for Rio.
For Jonnie Peacock, there is more to come from his start and more too in his finish. All of the injuries which have taken time out of training have hampered him and he maybe needs a few weeks more solid training.
Some of the psychology between him and American Richard Browne, which could be quite fractious, brought out the best of Jonnie. Jarryd Wallace is a different, more laid-back kind of character and maybe Jonnie needs a bit of that fire to bring out his best.
The 2014 winner Pineau De Re - which, like Many Clouds, was ridden to victory by Leighton Aspell - features in the largest list of entries since 2008.
Five of the top six horses from last year's race have been entered - but Monbeg Dude, who finished third, will not have recovered from injury in time.
A maximum field of 40 will be selected to start the Liverpool race.
This means that it must now be considered for parliamentary debate.
Internet providers will soon have to record which services their customers' devices connect to - including websites and messaging apps.
They must keep this information for one year and share it with various departments and organisations on demand.
The government says it will help in the fight against terrorism.
Its critics have named it the "snoopers' charter", and it is described in the petition as "an absolute disgrace to both privacy and freedom".
The act was first proposed by Prime Minister Theresa May when she was Home Secretary and was approved by the House of Lords on 19 November.
It is expected to become law by the end of 2016.
Blogger Chris Yiu compiled a list of the 48 organisations and departments that will be able to access the browsing records of individuals without a warrant.
They include various police, military, government and NHS departments as well as the Food Standards Agency, the Gambling Commission, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Health and Safety Executive.
The required data covers only the domain name of each site visited - www.facebook.com or www.bbc.com, for example - not the individual pages within them.
"So long right to privacy, hello 1984," wrote Mr Yiu.
The chairman of the Internet Service Providers' Association (Ispa), told the BBC last week that he was concerned such a database would eventually be hacked.
"You can try every conceivable thing in the entire world to [protect it], but somebody will still outsmart you," he said.
"Mistakes will happen. It's a question of when. Hopefully it's in tens or maybe a hundred years. But it might be next week."
The government's Joint Committee on Human Rights said in June that the data gathering was "capable of being justified".
"The bill provides a clear and transparent basis for powers already in use by the security and intelligence services, but there need to be further safeguards," said Harriet Harman, chairing the committee.
Jim Killock, director of the Open Rights Group, wrote in a blog post for the Huffington Post that "not all of the bill is completely bad" but that the issue of data retention and security needed addressing.
He described the creation of a database of internet connection records that was searchable by the authorities as "incredibly intrusive".
Fifty-six minors from the UK were flagged up as potential victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation in 2013 - a rise of 155% on 2012.
It is unclear whether they were being taken out of the country or moved within the UK, the NCA said.
The government said it was unlikely the data reflected the scale of the issue.
The NCA data suggested the number of foreign children identified as potential victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation in the UK also rose by 11%, to 88.
The most common nationality or country of origin for child victims of trafficking (not just for sexual abuse) was Vietnam, followed by the UK and then Albania.
The figures come from the National Referral Mechanism (NRM), a government safeguarding framework which authorities and charities refer potential trafficking victims to.
The NCA said a total of 1,746 people from 112 different countries were highlighted as potential victims of trafficking in 2013 - up 47% on the previous year.
People were thought to have been trafficked for various reasons, including sexual exploitation and labour.
Nearly two thirds of those referred were female (1,122) and around a quarter (450) were children.
In total, the number of cases involving UK-born victims in 2013 rose 173% to 90; of those, 63 were children, an increase of 186% on 2012.
Liam Vernon, head of the NCA's UK human trafficking centre, said: "Increased awareness, both of human trafficking in its various forms and the obligation of first responders to use the National Referral Mechanism, is a likely contributor to the increased number of referrals in 2013.
"We know that this is a crime which affects some of society's most vulnerable people, and some victims will remain undetected. Equally, some of those referred to the NRM may not ultimately be classified as victims of human trafficking.
"The NCA is committed to relentlessly disrupting what is a criminal trade in human misery."
Home Office minister Karen Bradley said the figures were "unlikely to show the full scale of modern slavery nor the human suffering behind each statistic".
"The National Crime Agency is leading an enhanced and co-ordinated response to targeting trafficking gangs, we are increasing protection for victims, and we are strengthening legislation through a modern slavery bill," she added.
"The bill will send the strongest possible message to criminals that if you are involved in this disgusting trade in human beings, you will be arrested, you will be prosecuted and you will be locked up."
The NCA figures suggested there had also been a rise in the number of UK-born adults who were thought to have been victims of trafficking.
The 27 adults flagged up in 2013 represent a 145% increase compared with the previous year.
Albania was the most common nationality or country of origin for all referrals, followed by Nigeria and Vietnam.
There was a 53% rise (to 581 people) in potential trafficking for sexual exploitation for all the adult referrals.
Landlords Thirteen Group confirmed the three blocks at Kennedy Gardens in Billingham were partially clad with "grade-three" cladding.
The social housing company said it was safe enough for residents to remain in their homes, and action to remove the cladding would begin on Monday morning.
Resident David Clixby, 58, who lives by himself on the eighth floor, said he was "not really scared".
He said: "I wasn't totally shocked when I found out.
"I'm on the eighth floor, but we have smoke alarms in the corridors and in each flat is linked directly to the concierge service, so I feel safe enough."
Mr Clixby said the hundreds of residents were told at about 22:15 BST on Friday that the site had failed safety tests.
He said he "wouldn't want to move out anyway", and Stockton Borough Council providing 24-hour security had made him "feel safe".
The cladding is thought to have been added to the buildings during a revamp in 2014.
Thirteen Group chief executive Ian Wardle said: "We acted immediately to ensure the safety of our residents by checking and double checking the nature of the cladding on our buildings, where it exists.
"We had specified that the cladding should be fire-retardant, and following tests that have shown that this is not the case, work to remove the cladding will begin as soon as physically possible, and contractors will be on site from first thing Monday morning."
Cladding on 27 tower blocks in 15 council areas in England has failed fire safety tests, the government says.
Ideye has not played for the Super Eagles since November 2013 and he also missed out on the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
He was named in a 28-man squad for Nigeria's fixtures against Uganda and South Africa on 25 and 29 March respectively.
We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see Ideye when the Nations Cup qualifiers start in June
But the 26-year-old did not play in his club's 3-0 loss at Manchester City on Saturday, with West Brom medical staff telling Ideye he would be out of action for a week.
As a result, he was forced to withdraw from the squad on Sunday, according to Super Eagles officials.
"A minor injury has forced Brown Ideye to pull out of the Super Eagles friendlies against Uganda and South Africa," national team spokesman Toyin Ibitoye told BBC Sport.
"It's only a minor setback for him. We all know it would have been a good return to the international fold after a long absence.
"But his health is more important. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see Ideye when the Nations Cup qualifiers start in June."
Ideye has scored five goals in 24 appearances for Nigeria.
In 2013, he helped his country clinch their third Africa Cup of Nations title, scoring in the 4-1 semi-final victory over Mali.
A member of their 2010 World Cup squad in South Africa, Ideye was omitted from the Nigeria squad that reached the second round at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
No-one can accurately predict when the fighting will stop, or how the proposed power-sharing deal between the warring parties would repair the many fractures created by a year of bloodshed.
And who can truly estimate the trauma enveloping families hiding in the bush after their village was burnt, or consuming the teenagers forced into military service as they pull the trigger for the first time?
One thing is clear, however - the civil war which began in South Sudan a year ago has been a disaster for the country and its people.
The conflict is the result of many factors.
At independence in 2011, South Sudan was desperately underdeveloped, a militarised society run by old antagonists who often fell out in the long liberation struggle against Sudan.
The political ambitions of the divided ruling class exploded in the face of the people.
On 15 December 2013, shots rang out in the capital, Juba.
President Salva Kiir announced that he had overcome an attempted coup, but few around the world believed him.
Over the next few days, a large number of civilians from the Nuer ethnic group of former Vice-President Riek Machar were killed in Juba.
Nuer military units deserted, and Nuer civilians grabbed their guns and rallied to a new rebel army - led by Mr Machar.
They, in turn, carried out massacres of civilians in Bor, Bentiu and Malakal.
Both the government and the rebels have been accused of horrifying human rights violations, often against civilians from perceived "rival" ethnic groups.
Ethnicity is only one of the elements of the war, but 12 months of fighting have exacerbated tensions between the country's two biggest ethnic groups, the Nuer and the Dinka, President Kiir's group.
In the early months, the military balance rocked back and forth like a palm tree in the wind.
Conflict in numbers:
Sources: ICG; OCHA
The rebels took several major towns, as well as oilfields in Unity state, only to be chased out of many of their conquests.
The town of Malakal, a major trading hub on the White Nile, changed hands six times.
The fighting has cut South Sudan's oil production in half, halted development, and left people all over the country scrabbling to find their next meal.
The UN warns that renewed heavy fighting could lead to famine.
South Sudan's civil war is a regional affair too.
Ugandan troops and a Sudanese rebel group have fought for President Kiir, while Sudan is accused of supporting Mr Machar's rebels.
Nearly half a million people have fled into refugee camps in neighbouring countries, and another 1.4 million are displaced within South Sudan.
Once the rainy season started the intensity of the conflict diminished, but it has never stopped, despite the cessation of hostilities agreement both sides signed.
The mediation efforts of the regional body Igad brought the warring parties to the table, but they have yet to commit to peace.
They are squabbling over the powers a rebel prime minister - presumably Mr Machar - would have in the proposed transitional government.
Trust is a real issue.
Mr Machar blames Mr Kiir for the war.
"If he turns against his own population, why would he still retain legitimacy?" Mr Machar told the BBC in May.
"He is destroying South Sudan, he is dividing South Sudan, he's discrediting the whole nation."
President Kiir, in turn, told the BBC that Mr Machar had created the chaos - and could not be trusted.
"If he was sincere to his words, I can trust him, but if somebody is not sincere it will be very difficult… to trust such a person."
However, South Sudanese history is full of enemies who eventually agreed to work together - including Mr Kiir and Mr Machar after they fell out in 1991 during the liberation war against Khartoum.
A power-sharing peace deal is a possibility.
But that alone would not resolve the country's problems.
South Sudanese rights groups, and international organisations such as Human Rights Watch, have warned that the belligerents must be held accountable for their crimes.
"The unaddressed abuses and bloody cycle of ethnic revenge killings in the South Sudan conflict create an urgent need to hold those responsible for atrocities to account," says Elise Keppler of Human Rights Watch.
There has been almost total impunity throughout the decades of conflict in what is now South Sudan.
In part this is because of the obvious difficulty of persuading military men to sign peace deals which could result in them facing trial for abuses committed by their troops.
A major national programme to restore trust between divided communities will be needed too.
But many South Sudanese wonder how the country can be peaceful as long as Mr Kiir and Mr Machar are at the forefront of political life.
"Between the two there is no clear future for South Sudan," says Mawan Muortat, a political analyst.
"Until these two guys go, things are not looking great.
"But it is very unlikely that the two will go, because they represent very strong constituencies in South Sudan."
For the moment, though, the main priority has to be stopping the war.
So will Mr Kiir and Mr Machar still be fighting in 12 months' time?
"In a year, probably," says Mr Muortat. "But in five years, no."
For those mourning the uncounted casualties throughout the country, even a day more of conflict seems too long.
Navinder Singh Sarao, 36, has been charged with wire fraud, commodities fraud and market manipulation by the US Justice Department (DOJ).
Mr Sarao denies the charges but was remanded in custody for the third time after failing to raise £5.05m in bail.
His lawyers' request that bail be lowered to £50,000 was refused.
His legal team told Westminster Magistrates' Court he had been unable to raise the funds required by US authorities because they had frozen his assets.
Wearing a grey sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms, he had sat calmly in the dock until he heard his bail conditions would not be changed.
He then spoke out to in court to plead his innocence claiming he had not "done anything wrong apart from being good at my job".
"How is this allowed to go on, man?" he added.
Mr Sarao's legal team will now consider an appeal to the High Court.
Two weeks ago, Mr Sarao was granted bail pending a full extradition hearing later this year provided he produced £5.05m and met other bail conditions.
Those bail conditions state that he must stay at his parents' address in Hounslow, west London, each night, and cannot travel internationally or use the internet.
A review date of the case remains as 26 May, but the date for a full extradition hearing has been pushed back from August to 24-25 September.
The DoJ claims that Mr Sarao and his firm, Nav Sarao Futures, made £26m ($40m) illegally over five years.
He has been accused of using an "automated trading program" to manipulate markets, and of contributing to the flash crash of 6 May 2010. On that day, the Dow Jones index lost 700 points in a matter of minutes - wiping about $800bn off the value of US shares - before recovering just as quickly.
Regulators blamed high-frequency traders placing multiple sell orders for the crash.
High-speed trading is where share dealers use computer algorithms to buy and sell stocks in milliseconds.
The DoJ said a fortnight ago that "Sarao's alleged manipulation earned him significant profits and contributed to a major drop in the US stock market on May 6, 2010".
Its statement continued: "By allegedly placing multiple, simultaneous, large-volume sell orders at different price points - a technique known as 'layering' - Sarao created the appearance of substantial supply in the market."
It is alleged Mr Sarao was then able to buy and sell futures contracts tied to the value of the share indexes.
Entitled '17MinutesForMe', the initiative aims to get people across the UK engaging in 17 minutes of exercise, three times a week, to aid both physical and mental wellbeing.
It's all about looking after your body and your mind
TV presenters Matt Johnson and Anna Williamson, plus DJ Nick Bright and Olympian Donna Fraser offer mentoring via email and social media.
More than 5,000 people have already signed up to the campaign, which runs until 25 August.
Johnson - a Mind ambassador who has spoken publicly about his own battle with depression - said: "It brings together mental and physical wellbeing, two things that have a big personal meaning for me.
"The challenges we face in our lives are all different - and so are our minds and our bodies. But what we do know is that being active, in a way that works for you, can help reduce the risk of depression by up to 30%.
"It's all about looking after your body and your mind."
Each week, a 17MinutesForMe "team leader" will take the lead to motivate and encourage participants to keep going throughout the challenge, through emails and social media content.
Sign up here and then share your experiences and achievements with the hashtag #17MinutesForMe.
The campaign is part of Team Personal Best, the participation initiative that seeks to take advantage of the fact Britain is hosting this summer's biggest global sporting event to get people more active and engaged with the sport of athletics.

However the sleepy baby went for a little snooze as soon as she was brought out!
In keeping with Chinese tradition, she won't have an official name of her own until she's at least 100 days old.
The director of the conservation centre said that the cub is healthy and well.
He will become the "beating heart" of the 12-tonne boulder, he says - discovering how that perspective warps time and space.
Poincheval is conducting his experiment at Paris's Palais de Tokyo gallery.
A space the shape of his body - and air holes - have been carved into the rock.
There is also a place for supplies of water, soup and dried meat. Cables will monitor his heart and provide an emergency video link.
Journalists looked on as workmen pressed together the two halves of the rock at the gallery on Wednesday.
"The purpose is to feel the aging stone inside the rock," Poincheval told Quartz Media during his weeks of preparation for the ordeal.
"There is my own breathing, and then the rock which lives, still humid because it was extracted not so long ago from the quarry. So there is that flow, that coming and going, between myself and the stone."
At the time, he was coy about how he would go to the toilet, but in the moments running up to his entombment he came clean to AFP news agency, admitting he would urinate into empty water bottles and sit on a small container to excrete.
And the smell?
"The stone will absorb some of the smell," he said. "I think I can take it."
Instead, he says, one of the biggest challenges will be psychological: keeping grasp of reality.
Poincheval is an old hand at putting his body through the bizarre and potentially perilous - often within a confined space, having previously spent 13 days inside a bear.
If he emerges intact from the boulder, Poincheval plans to sit on a dozen eggs for the three or four weeks they take to hatch.
And his ultimate ambition is to "walk on the clouds", he told AFP.
"I have been working on it for five years, but it is not quite there yet."

The BBC's Cindy Sui profiles the three choices on the voting slip.
Ms Tsai from the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is the party's chairwoman, a former vice premier, and was Taiwan's first female presidential candidate during the 2012 presidential race in which she lost to Ma, but managed to get 45% of the votes.
She once served as Minister of the Mainland Affairs Council and was one of the chief drafters of the "special state-to-state relations" doctrine of then President Lee Teng-hui, which defined Taiwan and China's relationship on country-to-country terms, angering Beijing and leading to heightened tensions.
She has since moderated her views, promised to maintain peaceful and stable relations and expressed her openness to having talks with Chinese officials.
But she has refused to accept Beijing's precondition that she first accept that Taiwan is a part of "one China."
Mr Chu is the mayor of Taiwan's most populous city, New Taipei City, and is chairman of the ruling Kuomintang party (KMT) as well as a former vice premier.
He is believed to be the party's best chance at defeating Tsai, but came into the race late after the KMT replaced a female candidate with him, at the last stretch.
Like Ma, he favours building stronger economic ties with China, seeing that as crucial to lifting Taiwan's economy out of the doldrums and preventing economic isolation.
Just as in 2012, Mr Soong from the smaller People First Party is running because he says Taiwanese people should have a third choice.
Once a KMT member, he has shunned concerns that his candidacy may cause the KMT to lose votes and end up helping the DPP.
A card reader fault affected buses and Tube stations earlier. Passengers were waved through barriers free of charge by Transport for London (TfL) staff.
The failure, linked to a fare increase, did not prevent people using the Tube, bus and rail networks.
TfL said the problem, which began at 04:30 GMT, had since been resolved.
TfL said it was the first such problem with the card readers in 10 years and the glitch was linked to a 1.1% increase in fares overnight.
About 100,000 free journeys are believed to have been made between 04:00 and 10:00, which TfL estimated to be worth about £250,000 in lost revenue.
A spokesman said: "Customers should now touch in and out as normal. Anyone charged a maximum fare due to this issue will get an automatic refund credited to their Oyster card early next week. We apologise for this disruption."
People using pay as you go Oyster cards were able to travel for free while the card readers were down as the machines were unable to deduct the correct fare from the pre-paid cards.
Season ticket Oyster card users were unaffected as travel is not paid per journey.
Lt-Gen Ben Hodges, head of the US Army in Europe, said he was "worried" the EU could unravel just when it needed to stand up to Russia.
He acknowledged the vote was a matter for the British people, but said he was concerned about the outcome.
Out campaigners say a leave vote would not affect the UK's position in Nato.
The UK has been a member of the transatlantic defence alliance since its formation in 1949. It joined the European Economic Community, the forerunner to the European Union, in 1973.
The UK will vote on whether it should remain a member of the EU in a referendum on 23 June.
General Hodges told the BBC that Russian aggression in Ukraine and its intervention in Syria had threatened Europe's security.
Russia had "weaponised" the migrant crisis by forcing tens of thousands of people to flee to Europe, he said.
The Nato alliance and the EU needed to show solidarity in the face of Russian aggression, but that unity could be put at risk if Britain voted to leave the EU, he claimed.
"The UK is such an important member of the alliance," he said. "It is a leader in the alliance. It is a leader in Europe. The most reliable trusted friends and allies we have are all European countries and so what goes on here is of strategic interest to us
"Anything that undermines the effectiveness of the alliance has an impact on us, and so if the EU begins to become unravelled there can't help but be a knock-on effect for the alliance also."
Last month, Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg suggested the organisation would prefer a strong Britain within the EU, 22 of whose members are also part of Nato.
The commander's comments come amid a debate about the right of foreign leaders to speak out over Britain's future in the EU.
US President Barack Obama is expected to signal his support for the UK's continued EU membership during a visit to London next month and speaking at a campaign event in Felixstowe, Prime Minister David Cameron said he didn't know a "friendly foreign leader" who supported the UK leaving the EU.
But Conservative MP Tom Pursglove, a co-founder of the Grassroots Out campaign group, said the EU had "very little to do with our security arrangements" and the UK would remain a "pivotal" member of Nato if it left, as well as a member of the G7, G20 and UN.
"I find it incredibly unhelpful when we hear American figures and figures from all over the world telling the British people what to do," he told the BBC News Channel. "We know President Obama has a very strong view on these matters.
"I wouldn't seek to tell the US electorate who to vote for - I wouldn't say whether they should vote for Donald Trump, Marco Rubio or Hillary Clinton....I think this is a decision for the British people and the British people alone."
Russia has criticised the UK government for claiming that its President Vladimir Putin wants the UK to secede from the EU in order to weaken the West, insisting that it has "no opinion" on the subject.
The Irish FA has banned the club from signing players on a new professional contract until 1 June, 2017.
Portadown said it was appealing "on the grounds that the evidence we supplied was sufficient to show that no undisclosed payments were made".
"Further evidence to support this stance will be supplied."
The IFA's Disciplinary Committee ruled that £5,000 should be payable within 14 days and £5,000 suspended until 1 June, 2017.
The club avoided a points deduction or automatic demotion from the top flight.
A statement released by the IFA indicated that "in light of the evidence presented, the committee found two matters proven".
Portadown have endured a troubled season, with long-standing manager Ronnie McFall stepping down from his position last month after 29 years in charge.
The club lie in a lowly ninth place in the Premiership, just five points above basement side Warrenpoint Town and four points ahead of Carrick Rangers, who are in the relegation play-off spot.
The police were alerted to the house when neighbours complained of thick smoke coming out of one of its windows on the evening of 10 June. When they entered the place, they found the charred body of the man's 77-year-old father who had allegedly set himself on fire.
The grisly case has gripped public imagination.
Armed with mobile phone cameras, people have been flocking to take selfies and photographs of 31 Robinson Street in central Kolkata (Calcutta), which has been dubbed "horror house" and "Hitchcock house" by local media.
The Trussell Trust said 30 of its 420 food banks would offer the service across the UK from 2016.
Clients will get an on-the-spot financial assessment, and then be referred to groups such as Citizens Advice, or the debt charity StepChange.
The service is being funded by a donation of £500,000 from Martin Lewis, the founder of MoneySavingExpert.
It follows a pilot programme at eight food banks across the country, which started earlier this year.
Those assessed as being in most need of financial help were offered same-day access to specialist advisors.
Otherwise, people have to wait up to a month for debt or money advice, the Trussell Trust said.
"These pilots have been a huge help to some of our most vulnerable clients," said David McAuley, Trussell Trust chief executive.
"People struggling with housing payments, redundancy or illness whilst on a low income were helped by advisors to have the confidence to tackle their finances and turn their lives around."
In total, Martin Lewis has now donated £600,000 to the Trussell Trust programme. | Lily Cole doesn't fit most people's expectations of a supermodel.

Twenty properties were searched in Northern Ireland and five men arrested during the past two days.
The Garda (Irish police) also carried out two searches in County Donegal.
The PSNI has said the operation was aimed at disrupting the supply of cocaine and cannabis, as well as money laundering.
Ten of the searches took place in Londonderry.
The others were in Belfast, Strabane, Armagh, Dungannon, Aughnalocy and Glenavy.
Police seized quantities of drugs and luxury items valued at more than £200,000.
The items included high value watches, a large diamond and other jewellery, luxury cars and £9,000 in cash.
Those arrested include a member of staff at a jewellery store.
A 36-year-old man has been charged with conspiracy to supply drugs, money laundering and possession of criminal property.
Detective Superintendent Tim Mairs, head of the PSNI's reactive and organised crime branch, said the operation was a significant investment of PSNI resources.
"The searches across these two days have involved, including the interviews, somewhere in the region of about 400 officers," he said.
"Drugs are a huge concern for people in Northern Ireland and this demonstrates our commitment to dealing with the issue."
The plans were released by the Labour-led council, which also proposed a 2% rise in council tax.
Council leader Anne Western said government grants were being cut by 27%, so cutbacks were inevitable.
A final decision on the budget proposals will be made next week.
Councillor Western said: "People will start to see the effect of the cuts and it will be more evident in terms of services dwindling."
She added: "Nearly three-quarters of the money we spend on local services comes from the government and only a quarter from council tax so it's inevitable that cuts of this size will have a huge impact on local services."
The budget proposals include:
The Manx fisheries department said the number of vessels authorised to fish in Isle of Man waters will fall from 156 to about 88 from next month.
The move follows a recent public consultation regarding the multimillion-pound industry.
The government said the current trend of more fishing boats and larger catch sizes was taking its toll.
A spokesman added: "Stock is under increasing pressure, prompting concerns over the sustainability of this valuable fishery."
In 2015/16, some 4,500 tonnes of king scallops - worth about £4m - were landed on the Isle of Man.
It is thought the licence cap, which will take into account the size of vessels, will protect local fishermen dependant on the fishery.
Manx territorial waters stretch for 12 nautical miles (22 km) from the coast and incorporate about 4,000 sq km.

Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Southampton left the Swans three points above the bottom three.
But Guidolin, who succeeded Garry Monk in January, believes Swansea are in a stronger position than when he first arrived.
"If it wasn't difficult at Swansea, I would not be here," he said.
"I am here and I am happy to be here. I hope to help my team and my club, our fans.
"In a season when there is one manager go out, there is a bad period. So another manager is a sign of difficulty.
"I have no fear because I know this situation."
The loss to Southampton was Guidolin's first since taking charge at the Liberty Stadium, having won one and drawn two of his first three games.
Swansea are 16th in the Premier League table and face two difficult away fixtures next, travelling to title contenders Tottenham and Arsenal.
"When I arrived, the table was worse. I don't think if we have three or four or five or six points [above the relegation zone] it's so different," added Guidolin.
"I think our table is not good, but I thought this after the two victories against Watford [for which Guidolin was a spectator] and Everton.
"I think we have only got to think match by match.
"I don't think about the table, only about how we can improve our performance."
Keiran McKandie, who was 16 and from Elgin, died at the scene of the crash involving a white Volkswagen Golf on the B9010 Forres to Kellas Road.
The road between Forres and Elgin was closed after the collision which happened just after 11:00 on Sunday,
No-one in the car was injured. Officers have urged anyone who witnessed the crash to contact them.
The 28-year-old centre-back was released by City earlier this summer, having spent most of last season on loan at AFC Wimbledon.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Luke McCormick, 32, has agreed a new undisclosed-length contract with Argyle.
McCormick has made 287 appearances across two spells with Plymouth, including 48 last season as they reached the League Two play-off final.
Osborne replaces Peter Hartley, who left for Bristol Rovers earlier this month, while the club are still awaiting a decision from Curtis Nelson on whether he will sign a new deal.

She also said there is "political will" among countries to carry out its terms.
The agreement, which aims to limit the rise in global temperatures to less than 2C, was approved by all 195 countries at a summit in Paris.
David Cameron has said the deal represents "a huge step forward in securing the future of the planet".
The prime minister said it showed what "unity, ambition and perseverance can do".
Campaigners said it fell short of such "soaring rhetoric"; business leaders urged greater backing for clean technology.
The agreement is the first climate deal to commit all countries to cut emissions and followed nearly two weeks of negotiations.
Ms Rudd told the BBC's Andrew Marr programme that the part-legally binding and part-voluntary agreement was "not a perfect deal", but that "countries have agreed to do this, they have to come forward with the proposals".
She added: "We had to get the balance of being totally inclusive, getting 200 countries to sign up, but also not having such a tough compliance regime that you can say we had at Kyoto, which didn't succeed, that some countries would step away.
"I think this is the right balance, but it is a compromise. It is nevertheless a historic moment."
Ms Rudd also said while there were no "tough compliance" measures to ensure countries stuck to the targets, governments wanted to achieve them.
"Countries have agreed to do this. They have to come forward with the proposals and what you saw at the conference over the past few weeks was the support from civil society, NGOs and critically from businesses who are going to help pay for this."
Ms Rudd said the UK's contribution to combating climate change included being the first developed country to put an end date on its use of coal, and expanding offshore wind provision.
She also said the government would deliver energy change into the UK "in a different way" by "providing better value for money for consumers".
Asked about the government's plans to cut subsidies on renewable energy, Ms Rudd said there was "no point in having renewables which are permanently expensive".
"Subsidies isn't a long-term plan," she said. "The costs of solar have come down over the past 15 years by 80%. If the cost comes down then the subsidy comes down."
Welcoming the Paris deal, Mr Cameron said: "This global deal now means that the whole world has signed to play its part in halting climate change."
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called the deal a "big step forward", but said it was important the "rhetoric is backed up by meaningful action".
Labour's shadow energy minister Barry Gardiner said the agreement would usher in a "new industrial revolution", which was clean and green.
"What we're seeing is the world waking up to the fact that we have to do things differently," he said.
However, Friends of the Earth chief executive Craig Bennett said there was still no "adequate global plan" to reduce temperatures.
He said: "This summit clearly shows that fossil fuels have had their day and that George Osborne's outdated, backward energy policies must be reversed if he wants to be on the right side of history."
Carolyn Fairbairn, the CBI's director-general, said the government should do more to back clean technology.
"The government must provide a stable environment that enables investment in cleaner, more affordable and more secure energy generation, including renewable technologies and new gas plants," she said.
Former Conservative environment minister Richard Benyon said there would now be a "race for green technologies".
"Countries are going to be competing with themselves for a growing economic market place for green technologies. And you're going to see the innovation that exists in human nature really come alive because of this."
The average monthly costs associated with buying a three-bedroom house, including mortgage payments, was £522 in December 2016.
That was £71 lower than the typical rent of £593 on the same property type.
Over the past year, the gap between buying and renting narrowed by £50 per month, the report found.
At the end of 2015, the monthly cost for buyers was £121 lower than renting.
The costs for first-time buyers in Scotland, the bank said, have been cheaper than renting since 2009.
Bank of Scotland director Graham Blair said: "This is the eighth year in a row that first-time buyers in Scotland are better off buying a property rather than renting.
"Over this period of time, buying costs haven't fluctuated much, resulting in the annual saving increasing from £458 to £860.
"While it's also the more financially-attractive option across the UK to buy rather than rent, it's more affordable in Scotland.
"Buying here is 12% cheaper than renting, compared to the UK's 7% cheaper."
The figures also showed the number of first-time buyers in Scotland reached 23,000 in 2016, staying above the 20,000 mark for the third successive year.
The number of home buyers getting on to the first rung of the property ladder has grown by 87% since 2009.
However, first-time buyer numbers still remain 21% below the immediate pre-crisis peak of 29,200 in 2006.
First-time buyers accounted for 49% of all house purchases made with a mortgage in 2016 - up from 35% at the start of the housing downturn in 2007.
It happens every Wednesday when the House of Commons is sitting.
MPs get the chance to question the prime minister about stuff that's going on in their constituencies as well as national issues.
And it's famous for getting very noisy, with politicians literally shouting at each other across the room.
Six young voters from BBC Generation 2015 sat with Newsbeat to watch the final PMQs before the General Election. This is what they thought.
"I watch it occasionally - I kind of got into it during my gap year before university.
"I've always found it a bit populist. A lot of the politicians come in there with their pre-prepared gags and one-liners.
"I think when you look beyond the antics and all the jeering - sometimes the frankly amateurish behaviour from the professional MPs - when you look beyond that then it can actually be quite informative.
"Overall it's something we should definitely keep. It's a quirky thing, it's very British. In terms of being able to hold your prime minister accountable even if only for half an hour a week - I think it's something that a lot of countries actually envy."
"Today was my first time watching PMQs. It didn't appeal to me [before]. And even today when I tried to watch it, I can't really understand it.
"It made me feel like they were disrespecting the UK population... it's like a 'don't care' sort of attitude - let me just answer these questions, make them sound amazing, and have a snigger and a dig at people on my way.
"And I feel like that's really not passionate, especially because they're dealing with the future of the UK.
"It's a whole country full of millions of people and they think it's funny, that's so heartbreaking for me. I feel really disappointed in it."
Mel has watched PMQs "a few times" before.
"It infuriates me that it seems they're taking it so lightly when they're talking about really important issues.
"It makes me so angry. It's like they don't take it seriously and I know they do and that's what the most annoying thing is.
"But when people start taking little clips of David Cameron saying, 'You don't need it to be Christmas to know when you're sitting next to a turkey!' and people make that into videos online... that's what's getting spread on social media and that's a horrible impression for young people to have of people who are leading the country."
"I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.
"I just think it's a bit of a pantomime. It sort of trivialises the real issues that are going on.
"I understand that on some levels they need to be seen as human and having a sense of humour. But there's having a sense of humour and there's being in a zoo. What sort of example is that setting for people to think that they can actually get away with that kind of behaviour?
"I feel like David Cameron and Ed Miliband went out of their way to prepare slanders and insults to each other so they could just have a bit of one-upmanship and get a bit of a giggle from everybody else. That isn't what it should be about."
"I watch PMQs once every two or three months, but I regularly watch highlights on YouTube and on the BBC website.
"I do think it's still informative despite all the Punch and Judy politics.
"Originally I kind of thought it was important, it was a massive part of politics, and it was an opportunity for MPs to hold the prime minister and cabinet to account.
"Now I'm kind of thinking accountability isn't maybe one of the core goals of PMQs.
"Although people were asking the prime minister questions, those questions were obviously staged.
"The attitude was very disrespectful... These are the ambassadors for our country, for our constituencies - certainly they should be behaving a bit more formal than that."
Matt watches PMQs about once every two or three weeks.
"I think on paper they're a very good idea because they let the less prominent MPs hold the prime minister to account and bring local issues to the fore.
"But I think in practice they don't really work like that. It's a bit contrived and formulaic. You always know David Cameron and Ed Miliband are going to shout at each other.
"I don't think it's very representative of what people want to hear about some of the time."

But a closer look as passengers disembark, reveals a grid of gleaming solar panels on the ferry's roof and, instead of the usual throbbing engine noise, there is a barely audible buzz.
The Solar Eagle and three similar vessels shuttle golfers to tee off on an 18-hole island course. Together they form the world's first hybrid powered ferry fleet and a commercial proving ground for technology that could transform the future of marine travel.
The technology, similar to that used in hybrid cars, has been developed by an Australian company called Solar Sailor.
Electricity created by the solar panels and stored in a battery powers the engine while the vessel comes in and out of the harbour. Once out in the open ocean and a faster clip is required, the diesel kicks in.
One of the fleet, the Solar Albatross, sports two sails covered in solar panels that can be raised to harness both the sun and the wind to further reduce reliance on fossil fuel.
Robert Dane, Solar Sailor's founder, says that the technology offers ship owners huge fuel savings and has the potential to be used on all types of vessels from humble ferries and luxury super-yachts to bulk carriers shipping iron ore and navy patrol ships.
"I think in 50 to 100 years, all ships will have solar sails," he says.
"It just makes so much sense. You're out there on the water and there's so much light bouncing around and there's a lot more energy in the wind than in the sun."
Three of the ferries began operation in 2010 and the Solar Albatross began carrying passengers last year. The solar-sail technology is also in use in two ferries in Shanghai and Sydney.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club, which runs the golf course on Kau Sai Chau island, says its has seen "significant fuel savings" but was still monitoring the overall performance of the ferries.
Mr Dane says that on the golf course-run, the hybrid technology saves 8% or 17% on the fuel bill, depending on the route taken. However, repair and maintenance costs have been more than anticipated.
"The Jockey Club is a new operator so there's a learning curve for them and the new technology," he says.
Despite the teething problems, Mr Dane is confident of future sales.
He says he is in the "early stages" of discussions with the operators of Hong Kong's iconic star ferry, which has been shuttling across Victoria Harbour since 1880, about fitting solar panels on one of their vessels.
And in Australia, he hopes to clinch deals this year with the operator of a river ferry and install the technology on two ocean research vessels.
There are other solar-powered ships in operation such as the catamaran Turanor PlanetSolar, which is circumnavigating the globe exclusively by harnessing the power of the sun. However, Mr Dane says the technology developed by his company is the most commercially tested.
More ambitiously, Mr Dane says the company will soon announce a trial with an Australian mining company to attach a 40m (130ft) tall solar sail to a newly built bulk carrier that will ship iron ore and other raw materials to China.
He likens the sail to a "giant windmill blade" that would be covered in solar panels and fold down into the vessel when it is docking and transferring cargo.
By harnessing the wind, the company estimates that the giant sail could shave 20% to 40%, or around A$3m (£2m; $3.1m), off a ship's annual fuel bill when travelling at 16 knots (18mph), with the solar panels contributing an extra 3% to 6% saving.
"The systems were are installing are worth around A$6 million and therefore the return of investment would be a couple of years at the current oil price," he says.
"It's not a matter of if we're going to do it, it's a matter of how - right now we are working out the details."
If, as Mr Dane hopes, the technology is adopted more widely, it also has the potential to clean up the shipping industry, which environmental campaigners claim emits more greenhouse gases than commercial aviation.
Roughly 50,000 ships carry 90% of the world's trade cargo, and these ships tend to burn a heavily polluting oil known as bunker fuel.
"It's like tar, you have to heat it up to make it liquid so it will flow," says Mr Dane.
"These incredibly powerful engines run on incredibly cheap but dirty fuel so what we can do in the short-term is to ensure they use less fuel."
The industry has proved hard for governments to regulate as it does not fall into one jurisdiction, however the United Nations International Maritime Organization has recently introduced new regulations on fuel efficiency and sulphur emissions that could drive demand for Solar Sailor's technology.
Mr Dane is optimistic about the company's future even though after more than a decade of doing business it has yet to turn a profit.
He says the company will in future focus on areas less affected the global economic downturn such as defence, with plans afoot to use the technology in unmanned ocean vehicles that could replace navy patrol boats.
"We know (our technology) works. We know the return on investment but there's been factors outside our control like the economic environment that have inhibited what we are doing," Mr Dane says.
"We think we're at a very exciting point with regards to profitability and one of the projects (we're working on) will make us incredibly profitable in 2012."
"Sexual harassment is commonplace, girls' appearance is intensively scrutinised and their abilities are undermined," says the report.
The report Equality for Girls is based on a survey of more than 1,200 girls and young women aged seven to 21.
Girlguiding chief executive Julie Bentley called it a "wake-up call".
She said: "This cannot be dismissed as something that girls and young women just have to deal with as they grow up."
Girls needed to live in an equal society if they were to flourish and fulfil their potential to be leaders in all walks of life, added Ms Bentley.
The survey of a representative sample of girls and young women, both Guides and non-Guides, gives "a disturbing insight into the state of equality for girls in the UK", says Girlguiding, which has more than half a million members.
"Girls identified sexism as a priority issue for their generation", with three-quarters saying sexism affected "most areas of their lives", says the report.
Of the 11 to 21-year-olds questioned, some 87% thought women were judged more on their appearance than their ability.
More than a third (36%) of all those surveyed had felt "patronised or made to feel stupid" because of their gender, rising to 60% of the 16 to 21-year-olds.
Most of the 13-year-olds questioned said they had experienced sexual harassment, rising to 80% of 19 to 21-year-olds.
This included being shouted and whistled at, sexual graffiti and pornography, sexual jokes and taunts as well as unwanted sexual attention, unwanted touching and stalking.
More than three-quarters (78%) said they found this behaviour threatening if they were alone.
The girls said there were "clear double standards" for girls and boys when it came to relationships and sex.
Three-quarters (76%) of the 11 to 21-year-olds said girls were judged harshly for sexual behaviour seen as acceptable in boys, with just 3% feeling the opposite.
Most of the 16 to 21-year-olds questioned said they thought too much responsibility was placed on girls for their sexual safety.
The report also talks of bias in the way women are portrayed in the media, with girls and women facing "unprecedented levels of personal and public scrutiny" over body shape".
Of the 11 to 21-year-olds questioned, 75% agreed boys expected girls to look like images they saw in the media, while 71% said they would like to lose weight.
Other challenges are similar to those faced by previous generations, such as overcoming stereotypes and constraints in work and family life, say the authors.
Some 46% of the 11 to 21-year-olds said they feared having children would damage their careers. Most of the 16 to 21-year-olds worried some employers may to some extent prefer to hire men.
The report concludes that despite awareness of the difficulties they face, most girls remain positive, with 55% hoping to get to the top of their chosen profession, 70% wanting to combine a career and motherhood and 11% preferring a career over children.
Lucy Lawrenson, 18, of Girlguiding, said she was "depressed" by the findings.
"Issues that should only be read about in our history books are still common.
"I know because they happen to me, and this can't continue. Something has to change."
Emma Gees, 22, also of Girlguiding, said cultural misconceptions and media stereotypes "deeply ingrained in our culture" were major barriers to equality.
"Equality requires a change in perception and attitudes, not just laws, which is currently the case," she said.
Kelley Temple, National Union of Students women's officer, said the report echoed new NUS research into lad culture at universities.
"It's time decision-makers across the spectrum woke up to the realities of gender inequality," she said.
"We need to take action to tackle this culture within our communities that cuts women out whenever it rears its ugly head."
Girlguiding plans to meet the leaders of the main political parties in the run-up to the general election in 2015 to discuss the findings.
His family described him as an art connoisseur, water colourist, ecologist, disco-dancer and restorer of historic buildings.
A World War Two veteran, Sir Jack was captured at Dunkirk while serving as an officer in the Irish Guards, and spent five years in prison camp.
At an advanced age, he became a keen clubber, with a love for house music.
After travelling the world on his release at the end of the war, Sir Jack returned to live at the family home, Castle Leslie, in his 70s, when he became a regular visitor to County Monaghan nightclubs.
Legion d'Honneur
He celebrated his 84th birthday by dancing on stage at the world's biggest nightclub in Ibiza.
In November 2015, Sir Jack was presented with the France's top military award at the French embassy in Dublin on Monday.
He said he was accepting the Legion d'Honneur "on behalf of all soldiers from the island of Ireland who fought and died between the two great wars".
In 2002, Sir Jack famously blew the lid on the secret wedding plans of Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills by admitting to reporters that the ceremony was to be held at Castle Leslie.
They studied the diaries of medical officers on his Antarctic expeditions at Cambridge's Scott Polar Research Institute, which refer to a heart murmur, breathlessness and breakdowns.
Cardiologist Dr Jan Till and retired doctor Ian Calder said the symptoms were "consistent" with the defect.
Shackleton died from a heart attack, aged 47, in South Georgia in 1922.
Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Dr Till, a consultant cardiologist at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, and Mr Calder, a retired anaesthetist, said they believed he suffered from a congenital heart defect.
In 1903, during his first Antarctic expedition in the Discovery, Shackleton suffered breathlessness and weakness, according to the diary of team member Dr Edward Wilson.
His second expedition on the Nimrod was also marred by illness.
On 20 January 1908, medical officer Dr Eric Marshall wrote: "Heard S was very unwell after pulling on a rope. Will not hold myself responsible until he allows me to examine him. Something wrong?"
On another occasion he wrote: "Shacks collapsed after dinner tonight".
Shackleton was still "very unwell" the following day and had an irregular pulse.
He also mentioned a heart murmur.
In 1914, Shackleton made his third Antarctic trip on Endurance,
Dr James McIlroy, medical officer on the third and fourth expeditions, said Shackleton refused to allow him to listen to his heart when he became unwell.
He said Shackleton's wife had insisted he see a heart specialist before the Nimrod expedition and although he went, he refused to let the doctor listen to his heart.
From these and other diary entries the researchers concluded Shackleton's various symptoms were "consistent with an ostium secundum atrial septal defect" - commonly known as a hole in the heart.
On 5 January 1922, Shackleton died from a heart attack.
Henry Ranson Lloyd, 17, died of natural causes on 21 January 2014. Police said his Conwy home was litter-strewn.
Calls to make it easier for councils to monitor the quality of home schooling and pupils' welfare were made at the inquest in Ruthin, Denbighshire.
Coroner John Gittins said it was "staggering" people were home educated without councils "having any teeth".
Henry died at his home after complaining he could not breathe properly.
Emergency services were called but he could not be saved.
Pathologist Dr Andrew Dalton said the 6ft 2in teenager was "markedly obese" and had a blood clot.
Conwy council's head of education Richard Ellis Owen told the inquest several attempts were made to engage with the family, but there was no response.
"If parents wish not to engage with us there's hardly anything we can do," he said.
But Henry's mother Jennie Ranson told the inquest she did not feel she had let him down, saying "he knew he was loved".
Mr Owen said it was possible children could slip through the net and asked the coroner to write to the Welsh government "expressing the difficulties we have in terms of monitoring the quality of education and welfare of people".
"If we haven't any legal backing to that we are in a difficult position," he added.
Mr Gittins recorded a conclusion of death due to natural causes and said the involvement of social services, environmental health and other agencies was "limited."
He said: "I take on board what I was told by Richard Ellis Owen which concerns the question of home education.
"It seems staggering to me that people can be in a home situation without the local authority having real teeth with regard to checking up on progress and keeping an eye on them generally."
Its net profit was 8.28bn yen ($67m; £43m) in the three months to June as sales in the quarter rose over 20%.
That compares to a net loss of 9.9bn yen in the same period a year ago.
The company's earnings were boosted by the double digit rise in sales on new game releases such as Splatoon for its Wii U console and a weaker yen.
Shooting game Splatoon, where players aim at squid-type creatures, has sold 1.6 million copies after it was released in May.
The game maker also saw strong sales of its "amiibo" figurines which are sold as accessories to its popular games.
"For amiibo, we will continue to expand the product lineup," the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
Analysts were expecting a loss of 6.3bn yen for the quarter, according to a poll by Reuters.
The video game pioneer behind popular games like Super Mario Bros has been in the headlines recently after it suffered the loss of its chief executive Satoru Iwata from cancer earlier this month.
One of Mr Iwata's last moves as the head of the company was to lead it towards making games for smartphones after years of resisting investors' calls to do so.
In March, Nintendo announced that it was forming a partnership with Japanese developer DeNA to create new games for the mobile devices.
The company confirmed that its first smartphone games would be release by the end of the year.
It also said that it was still on track to post a net profit of 35bn yen on sales of 570bn yen in the year to March 2016.
The hitlists warned scores of teenagers in the town of Puerto Asis, in southern Colombia, to leave town or be killed.
Two of the youths named were shot on 15 August, while a third was killed five days later.
Police have sent an investigative team, including internet experts, to find out who is behind the threats.
A local official said a criminal gang had recently expanded its operations to the area and was intimidating locals.
Diego Ferney Jaramillo, 16, and Eibart Alejandro Ruiz Munoz, 17, were shot dead as they were driving along a road on the outskirts of Puerto Asis in Putumayo province on their motorcycle on 15 August.
Colombian ombudsman Volmar Perez Ortiz said that at around the same time, anonymous threats appeared on Facebook, listing 69 local youths and telling them to leave Puerto Asis within three days or be killed.
The names of the two dead teenagers had been on the list. The ombudsman's office said the authorities at first thought they were dealing with a hoax.
But the killing of a third listed teenager, Norbey Alexander Vargas, on 20 August prompted officials to take the threats seriously.
Since then, a second threat has appeared, on leaflets left on cars and addressed to the families of the youths.
"Please, as relatives, ask them to leave town in less than three days, or we'll see ourselves forced to carry out more acts like that of 15 August," it read.
Another list was published on Facebook on Monday, this time naming 31 local girls.
Putumayo province official Andres Gerardo Verdugo said the threats had provoked panic among the town's families, some of whom had fled.
Police officials have not yet commented on who may be behind the threats or why the youths had been targeted.
But the ombudsman's office said a notorious gang, the Rastrojos, had recently stepped up its criminal operations in the area.
Amanda Young is accused of giving 14 times the amount of an anti-psychotic drug prescribed to Joshua Gafney at his home in Yeovil in February 2012.
Bristol Crown Court heard a second character witness say Ms Young was "dedicated to her profession".
The 40-year-old, of Yeovil, denies manslaughter by gross negligence.
Her defence also told jurors at least two other nurses had given Mr Gafney similar doses in the days leading up his death.
But the prosecution said Ms Young was responsible for the fatal dose.
In his closing statement, Mr John Price, prosecuting, said: "Is this rough justice? Is this fair because all these nurses got confused by the labelling on the bottles?"
He then answered his own question, saying: "No, this wasn't rough justice because the overdoses given by the other nurses hadn't caused Joshua Gafney's death."
He added Ms Young was "grossly negligent" and this was manslaughter.
Elizabeth Marsh QC, defending, said Ms Young's actions were "a mistake by a compassionate and focussed nurse" but that mistake had caused his death.
She went on to say "there was not a day that had gone by since, that Amanda Young had not dwelled on the mistake she had made".
She added: "Maybe it's not as simple as the prosecution are suggesting. Maybe administering this medication wasn't simple."
The jury also heard it was "unusual" for that particular drug to be administered in a liquid form and none of the nurses was familiar with it.
The judge is expected to sum up on Tuesday and send the jury out to consider their verdict.
The New Zealand wicket-keeper hit 106 off 65 balls, including 14 fours and three sixes, as the visitors chased down their target of 161 in 17 overs.
World Cup-winning England captain Heather Knight ably assisted at the other end, finishing 48 not out.
Lauren Winfield's 58 had helped the hosts post a respectable 160-7 at York.
The 27-year-old shared a 67-run second-wicket partnership with New Zealand all-rounder Sophie Devine (41) before the latter was bowled by Anya Shrubsole.
Two late boundaries from South African Sune Luus looked to have led the Diamonds to a challenging total.
However, Priest - who had managed just three runs in her first two Super League innings - scored a majestic and at times brutal hundred, ending the match with back-to-back boundaries.
On a rain-affected day at the Ageas Bowl, Surrey Stars maintained their unbeaten start to the competition after edging to a four-run victory over holders Southern Vipers on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.
Hayley Matthews removed Surrey's England opener Tammy Beaumont for a duck, but South African pair Lizelle Lee (40) and Marizanne Kapp (42) took the visitors to 127-8 on a slow wicket.
The Vipers' reply was hampered by a regular loss of wickets, as Stars captain Nat Sciver trapped Arran Brindle lbw, ran out Georgia Adams and bowled Charlotte Edwards for a duck, all in the space of 10 balls.
New Zealand captain Suzie Bates, who scored the first Super League century in her previous innings, continued her fine form as she hit an unbeaten half-century.
However, with the match finely poised and Vipers 100-7 - needing 28 off 22 balls - the rain began to fall in Southampton, which ultimately inflicted a first defeat of the competition on the home side.
Australian all-rounder Ellyse Perry starred with bat and ball as Loughborough Lightning thumped Lancashire Thunder by 50 runs.
Perry hit her first notable innings in the tournament, with her unbeaten 78 off 57 balls including 10 fours and a huge maximum, as Lightning scraped to a par total of 140-7 in Liverpool.
Thunder's response began badly as Perry bowled Emma Lamb (2) and trapped England wicket-keeper Sarah Taylor (4) lbw to reduce the hosts to 14-2.
Beth Langston (3-14) struck twice in an over - trapping both Natasha Miles and Sophie Ecclestone in front - as Thunder were bowled out for just 90.
A further 82 people are recovering from injuries, 20 of them severely hurt, after two commuter trains collided on a single-track stretch of railway.
Work to remove the wreckage from the site continues, but is proceeding slowly because of the location.
A third data recorder on board the trains has yet to be found.
Unanswered questions
In focus: Bavaria's railways
Authorities are trying to work out why two trains were on the stretch of track at the same time, despite safety mechanisms.
The trains crashed head-on while both were travelling at about 100km/h (60mph) east of Bad Aibling, a spa town about 60km south-east of Munich.
All 11 victims of the crash were men aged between 24 and 59.
Two large cranes have been brought to the site to remove the wreckage. The crash happened on a bend in a wooded area, above a canal, and vehicle access is difficult.
In case signals fail, German railways are fitted with a final safety guard to prevent crashes.
Cab signalling known as PZB (Punktfoermige Zugbeeinflussung - or "intermittent train control") will set off an alarm in the driver's compartment when the train approaches a red light. If the driver does not respond by pressing a button, the train will brake automatically.
Who operates the signals?
There are six races on all five days, with the main attraction being the Gold Cup on Thursday.
The historic meeting, now in its 306th year, attracts 300,000 spectators over five days, with the Queen the guest of honour.
The Queen has had 23 Royal Ascot winners as an owner and has not missed a day of the meeting since her coronation in 1953.
There will be commentary of the first four races each day live on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, plus text updates from BBC Berkshire.

The 18-year-old won in a quick time of 47.58 seconds ahead of Belgium's Pieter Timmers (47.80) and American defending champion Nathan Adrian (47.85).
British teenager Duncan Scott finished a superb fifth, equalling the British record of 48.01 he set in the heats.
Australia's Cameron McEvoy, the pre-race favourite, came seventh.
Scott, who is from Glasgow, was the seventh fastest qualifier for Wednesday's final and produced an impressive display in a strong field.
"I am delighted with that," the 19-year-old told BBC Sport.
"I was happy to make the semi-final and to be in that final was incredible. Hopefully things can move on next year.
"Everyone in the GB team is swimming with confidence at the moment. We have the best breaststroker ever in Adam Peaty and the whole team wants to keep winning."

Karen Bardsley's save from Camille Abily put England on top in the shoot-out but Claire Rafferty and Faye White both missed to send the French through.
France had dominated for long periods of normal time but Jill Scott fired England ahead against the run of play.
Hope Powell's side were three minutes away from a place in the last four when Elise Bussaglia forced extra-time.
Instead England slipped to an agonising defeat and it is France who will progress to face either the United States or Brazil in their semi-final on Wednesday.
The manner of the defeat was all too familiar for the English, and was hard on them after they had showed superb resilience to push Bruno Bini's team all the way
Alistair Magowan on England's exit
A disappointed Powell told the BBC: "It was a gallant effort and there were some really tired legs out there today. Our games have been tough and we were dead on our feet at the end.
"I am very proud of my players. They did their very best to take it to the wire. Unfortunately when it came down to penalties, you just had to applaud France."
Both sides looked tired in extra-time, and Kelly Smith was virtually a passenger because of injury, but both wasted chances to win it, with Ellen White firing wide when through on goal and Eugenie Le Sommer off target with a back-post header.
That meant penalties, and again England were initially on top when Bardsley sprang to her right to deny Abily from France's first effort.
Smith, Karen Carney and Casey Stoney all scored to leave England 3-2 up, but Claire Rafferty dragged her effort wide and France were able to begin their celebrations when Faye White slammed her spot-kick against the bar.

France had created most of the chances during the 90 minutes, although England had started the brighter, with Smith rounding France keeper Celine Deville after just 15 seconds, only to see her shot blocked by Laura Georges.
Bruno Bini's side soon settled, though, and began passing the ball fluidly, with Abily particularly influential down the right wing.
The French also started to pepper Bardsley's goal with shots from distance, with their best effort a Gaetane Thiney snap-shot from the edge of the area that forced a diving save from the England keeper.
England, with Ellen White looking isolated up front, were struggling to make an impact with their more direct approach and they had more defending to do before half-time.
Louisa Necib went close after a corner was half-cleared, while Sandrine Soubeyrand fired wide and Abily saw another effort clear the bar.
England improved after the break but were still on the back-foot and France went close with further efforts from Marie-Laure Delie and Thiney.
Powell responded by pushing Scott further forward and she soon went close to finding the net with a flicked header from Rachel Unitt's whipped cross.
A mix-up in the France defence allowed Scott another sight of goal after 58 minutes and this time she made no mistake, advancing to the edge of the area before expertly lifting the ball over Deville.

France came back strongly and forced some intense late pressure that saw substitute Elodi Thomis force a superb late save from Bardsley and Ellen White clear Laura Lepailleur's header off the line.
But England's resistance was ended three minutes from time when the ball broke for Bussaglia on the edge of the area for her to curl the ball into the top corner and their subsequent shoot-out misery meant their hopes of a first appearance in the World Cup semi-finals were dashed.
Afterwards, Powell hailed what she called a "gallant effort" by her side and defended her decision to bring back Faye White and Fara Williams after they were rested in the 2-0 win over Japan on Tuesday.
She also explained that her decision to bring World Cup debutants Steph Houghton and Claire Rafferty off the bench for experienced duo Alex Scott and Rachel Unitt towards the end of the 90 minutes was for injury and tactical reasons.
"Alex said she had a injury and Rafferty was for pace," Powell said. "Rachel Unitt would have struggled against Thomis, and we knew that was going to happen, they always bring her on.
"Claire was very brave to step up and want to take a penalty, I have nothing but admiration for her."

The 56-year-old's contract was set to expire at the end of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
He has been in charge of Die Mannschaft for a decade, having been Jurgen Klinsmann's assistant for the two years before that.
Low's Germany won the 2014 World Cup and he has reached at least the semi-finals in his five major tournaments.
They were beaten by hosts France at the last-four stage of Euro 2016.
Mr Zarif is in Vienna for talks with US Secretary of State John Kerry over Iran's nuclear deal.
The international nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, is expected to confirm that Iran has scaled back its atomic activities in line with the agreement.
Lifting sanctions would unfreeze billions of dollars of assets and allow Iranian oil to be sold internationally.
Iran nuclear deal: Key details
"Today is a good day for the Iranian people as sanctions will be lifted today," Iran's ISNA agency quoted Mr Zarif as saying.
He said the IAEA's report meant implementation of the nuclear deal would go ahead.
The State Department said all parties had "continued making steady progress" towards implementing the deal, adding it would ensure the "exclusively peaceful nature" of Iran's programme.
As part of the deal, Iran had to drastically reduce its number of centrifuges and dismantle a heavy-water reactor near the town of Arak, both of which could be used in creating nuclear weapons. Iran has always maintained its programme is peaceful.
The July 2015 agreement was seen by some as a foreign policy landmark - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called the deal "historic".
But opponents remain, such as some US Republicans who say it does not do enough to ensure Iran cannot develop a bomb.
Many newspapers have hailed "good days ahead" for the economy, but the hardline press has lamented nuclear restrictions, with Vatan-e Emruz declaring closing the Arak reactor amounted to a "nuclear burial".
Moderate Iran and reformist Mardom Salari feared Saudi Arabia and US Republicans would try to sabotage the deal, the latter predicting that "powerful hands will try to boobytrap this path".
Meanwhile Conservative Hemayat said the nuclear deal would not "resolve the problem with the village chief" - referring to the US - and hardline Keyhan argued that the deal had not led to a let-up in US "anti-Iranian propaganda".

In July 2015, Iran agreed a landmark nuclear deal with six world powers to limit its sensitive nuclear activities for more than a decade in return for the lifting of crippling sanctions. The US is confident the agreement will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran says it has the right to nuclear energy - and stresses that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes only.
Iran will not see the UN, US and EU sanctions lifted until the global nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), certifies that it has fulfilled its commitments under the deal. The precise date of the so-called "implementation day" has not been determined. But Iran says it has met those commitments earlier than expected.
The sanctions have cost Iran more than more than $160bn (£102bn) in oil revenue since 2012 alone. Once they are lifted, the country will be able to resume selling oil on international markets and using the global financial system for trade. Iran has the fourth largest oil reserves in the world and the energy industry is braced for lower prices. Iran will also be able to access more than $100bn in assets frozen overseas.
Rovers took the lead early on when Kieffer Moore fired Sam Wedgbury's cross in from close range.
Danny Carr's penalty drew the visitors level after the break after midfielder Bruno Andrade had been fouled by David Pipe inside the box.
And Cameron Norman powered a shot past goalkeeper Steve Arnold in injury time to secure the win for Woking.
Rovers are second in the table, now nine points behind local rivals Cheltenham Town with two games to play, while Woking climbed to 14th place.
Forest Green boss Ady Pennock told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"I'm extremely disappointed - we should have won the game by five or six.
"Especially in the first half, we should have been three or four-nil up - it's just being ruthless in front of goal.
"That's what let us down and then to concede two poor goals that just sums up the game, the game should have been dead and buried at half time in my opinion."
Woking boss Garry Hill told BBC Surrey:

"We rode our luck a little bit and I was very pleased to be one-nil down at half-time and there is no doubt about that.
"We shown a lot of character and I think we tried to play football the right way in the first half. I felt we bossed it in the second half and we were certainly the better side.
"It's nice to see one of the young lads Cameron Norman get the goal and we've been waiting a long time not only as a management team but also as supporters.
"They come up and come down to be here and everywhere to support us and I am so pleased for them."
A new pitch has been laid at Berlin's Olympic Stadium to replace the damaged surface after the Irish band performed a concert there on 12 July.

The 23-year-old Scot, who was seeded sixth, beat Germany's Fabienne Deprez 21-17 21-9 in the final.
It is a first major title for the Commonwealth Games and European silver medallist since October 2015.
Having recovered from knee surgery, Gilmour was playing in her first international event since last summer's Rio Olympics.
"It feels really great to be back on top of that podium," she said.
"This tournament went exactly to plan and I've managed to achieve some of the smaller goals that I set myself from the outset, too.
"Working with Tat Meng [Scotland's new head coach] is great so far. He's quite relaxed and calm behind the court. It will be interesting to see how we go forward in training from here."
The key entries on the Commons agenda are now those for consideration of Lords amendments to an impressive array of government bills which have been mangled by peers.
After a week which saw six government defeats in the Upper House, with the potential for plenty more, expect the fabled Parliamentary ping-pong, which sees bills bouncing back and forth between the Lords and Commons to dominate events.
Ministers will want to overturn Lords amendments to the Immigration Bill, the Trade Union Bill, the Housing and Planning Bill, the Enterprise Bill and the Energy Bill, or at least negotiate compromises. And the clock is now ticking.
As usual, the date for the prorogation of Parliament is left unspecified, but the State Opening, which signals the start of the 2016-17 session, is now inked into the Royal diary for 18 May - which means there's about a month left to get the outstanding legislation through its remaining stages of consideration and any disagreements between the two Houses reconciled.
That's not impossible, but the government could find itself having to make concessions to buy off opposition on issues where peers are disinclined to surrender to the will of the Commons, because if a bill is not passed when time runs out, it falls.
Imagine a Victorian-gothic High Noon, involving people in knee breeches, snatches of Norman French, parliamentarians sitting through the night, and increasingly tetchy negotiations in panelled offices, and you begin to get the picture. But with big issues to be resolved, it's a very high-stakes game. So aside from the outcome of actual votes in the Lords, watch how long the debates take - because the time factor becomes increasingly crucial at this time of year.
Here's my rundown of the week ahead.
The Commons opens (2.30pm) with Defence questions - and that is followed by Backbench Business Committee debates. First Labour's Siobhain McDonagh raises the introduction of the National Living Wage and related changes to employee contracts - she is worried that some employers are cutting overall remuneration packages to offset the cost of its introduction, leaving thousands of low-paid employees significantly worse off.
She has already highlighted the case of workers being forced to sign new contracts with cuts in Sunday and bank holiday pay, bonuses abolished, and London weighting hugely cut.
The second debate, on educational attainment in Yorkshire and the Humber is led by Labour's Jo Cox, Conservative Martin Vickers and the Lib Dem, Greg Mulholland. The motion calls for the government to address the underlying reasons for the under-performance in the region.
The adjournment debate, led by Labour MP Jim Fitzpatrick, is on the Metropolitan Police Special Enquiry Team investigation into electoral fraud in Tower Hamlets. Last year, the Election Court voided the election of Lutfur Rahman as Mayor of Tower Hamlets in 2014, and barred him from standing for public office for five years.
Mr Fitzpatrick is concerned that the police and the Crown Prosecution Service now say they will be taking no further action in this case. He says the people who challenged the election are owed their costs.
In Westminster Hall (4.30pm) MPs will debate E-petition 105660 on funding for research into brain tumours.
In the Lords (2.30pm), questions to ministers cover additional runway capacity at London's airports, the extent to which general road traffic laws are enforced on cyclists, and the effect of EU withdrawal on the UK tourism and hospitality industries.
Then, peers continue with the report stage of the Housing and Planning Bill - where the key issues are concerned with "pay to stay" and secure tenancies. Having taken some stinging defeats, Labour sources say the government now realises it needs to make concessions on the detail of the bill - so it is not yet clear whether they plan to force any of their amendments to a vote.
The Commons sits at 11.30am for Treasury questions, after which the Conservative Anne Main will present a ten minute rule bill to require farm produce to be labelled to show its country of origin and whether it meets animal welfare standards.
The day's main legislating is on the Bank of England and Financial Services Bill (report and third reading). The bill makes a series of detailed technical changes to the internal governance and oversight of the Bank, its senior managers' regulatory regime, pensions guidance and advice; and the rules on bank notes issued by banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The adjournment debate, led by the Conservative Robert Jenrick, is on the treatment of UK citizens returning from fighting against so-called Islamic State, or Daesh/ISIL - he believes hundreds of UK citizens have volunteered to fight with Kurdish forces against IS, or Daesh, including some vulnerable people and many are ex-servicemen, and he is concerned that the government appears to have no policy on how it regards them. Should they be seen as allies or are they suspected terrorists? Mr Jenrick has a constituent, Aidan Aslin of Newark, who was arrested on his return and spent weeks waiting to see if he would be charged with any offence.
In Westminster Hall, the day's debates cover unaccompanied children (9.30am); children's homes (2.30pm) and regional variations in the rate of teenage pregnancy (4.30pm).
In the Lords, peers will be dealing with the latest round of Commons amendments to the Enterprise Bill - where ministers have now accepted Labour's amendment which asks the pubs code adjudicator to ensure PubCos do not "game" the code. They have now deleted the Lib Dem peer, Lord Teverson's Green Investment Bank amendment, but have implemented it in practice by creating a special share structure that maintains the bank's focus on environmental issues.
After that the House moves to day two of report stage consideration of the Trade Union Bill, where a series of issues are likely to be pushed to a vote.
There's an amendment on retaining the "check-off" system allowing payroll deduction of union subscriptions, on the powers of the Certification Officer for Trade Unions, and the implementation date for the facility time and check-off clauses of the bill.
The Commons meets at 11.30am for Northern Ireland questions, followed by Prime Minister's questions, at noon.
Next comes a Ten Minute Rule Bill on Forensic Linguistics (Standards) - from the SNP MP Roger Mullin. He wants to bring in a professional register to guarantee the standards of practitioners of a new discipline that can, for example, identify that an apparently innocuous conversation online is, in fact, aimed at sexual grooming of young people or terrorist recruitment.

Evidence from forensic linguists is accepted in American and other foreign courts, but not in the UK - although it is used in law enforcement. A register would help the courts to accept evidence of properly-qualified specialists, Mr Mullen argues.
After that, it's ping-pong time - as MPs react to Lords amendments to the Energy Bill - the government has lost several votes in the Lords on onshore wind generating stations and the remit of the new Oil and Gas Authority.
Then there are two debates chosen by the Backbench Business Committee, on recognition of genocide by Daesh (IS) against Yazidis, Christians and other ethnic and religious minorities and on record copies of Acts - this is a move to overturn the decision to abandon the centuries-old practice of printing acts of parliament on vellum, scraped goat's skin.
Vellum is known to last for centuries, and the parliamentary archives included original documents personally signed by Tudor monarchs. There was a move to save money by switching to printing them on special archive paper, but the break with tradition has met strong opposition in the Commons - and the House authorities are not planning to resist it, after government ministers announced they would meet the cost of continuing to use vellum.
In Westminster Hall, there are debates led by backbench MPs on the effect of aircraft noise on local communities (9.30am); the future of the Cardiff coal exchange (11am); the UK dairy sector (2.30pm); government policy on the trade in small weapons (4pm) and Western Sahara and self-determination (4.30pm).
In the Lords. the day's main legislation is the continuation of the marathon report stage of the Housing and Planning Bill - where peers will focus on the sections dealing with client money protection and local plans.
They may also move onto other planning issues, if time allows. Dinner break business is on progress towards the introduction of the Horseracing Betting Right, the proposal to replace the existing horserace betting levy with a new charge administered directly by the racing industry.
The Commons meets at 9.30am for questions to the Culture, Media and Sport department, the House of Commons Commission (the Commons administrative arm) and questions to the Leader of the House, Chris Grayling. He then remains at the despatch box to deliver the weekly Business Statement on the future agenda of the Commons.
The day's main event will be a debate on "An humble Address to mark the occasion of her Majesty the Queen's 90th Birthday", with the PM and the Leader of the Opposition opening proceedings.
And the Lords begin their day (11am) with a parallel debate on their own Humble Address.
Then, after half an hour of questions to ministers, peers turn to the detail of the Northern Ireland (Stormont Agreement and Implementation Plan) Bill - where the main issues are tackling paramilitarism and balanced budgets.
There will also be a short debate on the report of the Lords Communications Committee on BBC Charter Review: Reith not revolution.
The Commons is not sitting.
The Lords (at 10am) continues its work on private members' bills, rubber-stamping a couple of uncontroversial measures - the Criminal Cases Review Commission (Information) Bill and the Road Traffic Act 1988 (Alcohol Limits) (Amendment) Bill before moving onto the (still not very controversial) House of Commons (Members' Fund) (No.2) Bill.
The main action will be on the committee stage debate on the day's final measure, the Council Tax Valuation Bands Bill, from the Conservative peer, Lord Marlesford who argues that it is "not acceptable in today's world that the most expensive property pays only three times the amount of the humblest and cheapest property", and proposes a series on new valuation bands:
The valuation would be based on sale price after April 2000 - and homes not sold since that date would keep their old council tax valuation.
This is, to put it mildly, a sensitive issue - the Coalition government promised a revaluation of properties for council tax but never actually started the process - and the current valuations date from the 1990s.
But any move to revalue would push up bills and possibly trigger furious protests.
Four workers died when the boiler house at the Didcot A plant partially collapsed on 23 February.
The Home Office and Ministry of Defence (MoD) has now approved the deployment of military aid to support the work, Thames Valley Police said.
The force said the MoD would provide equipment and personnel which it claimed would speed-up the recovery.
The MoD said it had provided a remote-controlled vehicle and trained military operators "to assist in clearing hazards and taking the remaining structure down safely".
Site-owner RWE Npower previously announced plans to bring down the rest of the "unstable" building by a controlled explosive demolition, but said a plan was still being worked on.
Meanwhile, work to recover the men's bodies has been halted because contractors have reached a 50m (164 ft) exclusion zone.
The length of time it is taking to recover the bodies of Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, has previously been criticised by some family members.
Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion also branded it a "national scandal".
Thames Valley Police said: "Our absolute priority remains the recovery of the missing men so they can be returned to their families and to understand what caused this tragic incident."
The force added specialist officers were continuing to support the families and were "providing them with daily updates on the progress on this work".
The decommissioned Didcot A plant closed in 2013 and demolition work was taking place when it collapsed.
The cause is being investigated jointly by police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton, Teesside, has already been recovered from the site.
The club claimed Suffolk Police "unlawfully" charged it £200,000 for policing between 2008 and 2013.
It said the force should not have charged it for keeping order on the streets around the ground.
But the High Court said Suffolk Police was entitled to recover the costs of policing the ground outside the club. | More than 400 police officers have carried out searches and arrests as part of a major investigation into organised crime.

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.

"I love to win so let's make that happen. Hopefully we can do something this season."

Chris Martin's two first-half strikes - a 20-yard curler and a powerful header - came either side of Benik Afobe's well-struck reply for Wolves.
Martin then had a penalty saved by Emiliano Martinez but Bradley Johnson's soft strike made it 3-1 at the break.
Jonhny Russell struck a fourth before Adam Le Fondre made it 4-2.
Le Fondre's looping volley, from substitute Sheyi Ojo's knockdown, sneaked in despite home keeper Scott Carson getting his fingertips to it.
It made up for the penalty shout Wolves did not get before the break when his goalbound shot was blocked by former Wolves defender Jason Shackell's elbow.
Added to that, the home side's second goal could have been ruled out as Martin levered himself into the air off Kortney Hause's shoulders.
And Johnson knew little about the third goal, which hit his outstretched left boot after Wolves failed to clear the Russell corner which resulted from Martinez saving Martin's penalty, awarded for Danny Batth's foul on Tom Ince.
Kenny Jackett's men did come up with a well-worked training ground move for their first goal when Afobe lashed in James Henry's corner to cancel out Martin's early strike.

But the visitors were generally second best, no more so than when sustained Derby pressure resulted in Russell toe poking in from 12 yards for the Rams' fourth.
Le Fondre's goal gave the scoreline a fairer reflection but few would argue that Derby deserved all three points as they stretched their current run to 16 points out of a possible 18 to climb to sixth.
Wolves, who had won both their previous two games 3-0 prior to the international break, have dropped a place to 11th this weekend, now five points adrift of the play-off places.
Derby head coach Paul Clement told BBC Sport:
"Our best performance of the season. We've had some good first halves and some good second halves, but this time we were solid throughout and were deserved victors.
"Chris Martin put in the best performance I've seen from a Championship centre forward from the games I've seen this season. A great finish for the first, a brave header for the second and he led the line well.
"It was a shame he didn't finish off the penalty for what would have been a first-half hat-trick. But he was a well-deserved man of the match.
"Against a good side, it was also a great response from the team to come back and score the way we did following the penalty miss. We could have gone in at half-time on a low. But to make it 3-1 was a big moment."
Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett told BBC Sport:
"Derby were strong and take some stopping, but our defending was poor. We didn't work hard enough to put in enough blocks and cut down things at source.
"There were too many key moments when we didn't defend well enough. They had too many shots and far too many of them we gifted them.
"Their penalty was the right decision. I also thought we should have had one for the handball, but it would be hard to get those sort of decisions here.
"Our keeper's held his hand up for the second goal. He should have left it to Kortney Hause to deal with, but he's a good keeper and he'll learn from that."

Staff at Gunstones Bakery in Dronfield near Sheffield are taking part in the first of two 48-hour strikes.
Many of the 700-strong workforce at the site on Stubley Lane, Dronfield, are members of the bakers' union.
Gunstones said it was in talks with union representatives and wanted to minimise the impact of the strike.
John Higgins, of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers' Union (BFAWU), said: "We're talking about people on the lower end of the pay scale and yet (the company) want to start negotiating to take away some of the terms and conditions such as shift payments, overtime payments.
"These are the things that actually make it feasible for people to live from January to December."
In a statement Gunstones, which is part of the 2 Sisters Food Group, said: "We are keen to continue meaningful talks with colleagues and their union representatives so that we can reach a mutually satisfactory conclusion.
"We will work with our customers to create contingency plans which will minimise the effects of action."
The gun-battle inside the office lasted for more than an hour, witnesses said.
A cameraman outside the UN Development Programme office told the BBC a suicide bomber blew up a car at its entrance and he saw four gunmen enter.
The al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabab said it was behind the attack.
By Mark DoyleBBC International Development Correspondent
The UN compound in Mogadishu is just a few hundred metres from the airport where thousands of African Union troops are based.
It is in the heart of one of the most sensitive and theoretically well-guarded areas of the city.
But following the audacious attack the gateway into the compound is now a wreck of twisted metal and rubble.
For more than a year now the Somali government - and its Western and African backers - have been lauding improved security in Somalia.
At a diplomatic conference in London in February, hosted by the British Prime Minister David Cameron, there was optimistic talk about the new government which was for the first time elected by a parliament.
It is true that the militant Islamist al-Shabab group has been forced, by African Union troops, to leave most of their military positions in the city.
But this attack shows that opponents of the government still have the capacity to hit a high-profile target which should be one of the best protected locations in the country.
Officials say pro-government forces have now secured the compound.
The UN has only recently expanded its operations in Mogadishu after years when its Somalia mission was based in neighbouring Kenya because of security fears.
This is the first time the UN offices have been attacked since it relaunched its mission in Somalia.
The UN Development Programme office is next to the heavily fortified airport in southern Mogadishu.
"A suicide bomber blew himself up at the gate of the UNDP and then several armed fighters went in and opened fire," a senior police official told the Reuters news agency.
Interior Minister Abdikarim Hussein Guled said at least 15 people had been killed - four foreign security workers, four local guards and seven militants.
Two of the dead worked for South African state weapons firm Denel, the company says.
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office says it is looking into reports that three British nationals are among the dead.
The al-Shabab Twitter feed says it killed 16 UN workers, including three Britons, two Kenyans and a South African during the attack.
A police official told AFP that three civilians also died after being caught in crossfire.
The cameraman, who asked not to be named for security reasons, told the BBC Somali Service that he had personally helped three people to a military ambulance.
Local residents have fled and some buildings were seriously damaged after the vehicle exploded, he said.
As the cameraman was talking to the BBC at about 09:30 GMT, gunshots could be heard in the background.
Q&A: Who are al-Shabab?
He said a number of security experts had joined the African Union (Amisom) and Somali soldiers in tackling the militants.
Just after 10:15 GMT al-Shabab said on its Twitter feed: "We've just contacted the Mujahideen inside the #UNDP and they are still fighting some western mercenaries inside the compound."
Later it said it had killed some foreigners in the raid.
"The situation is under control now... Somali soldiers along with African Union forces stormed the compound and killed the attackers," Somali police official Abdulahi Osman told the AFP news agency.
Amisom described the attacked as "cowardly" and Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon Saaid praised the speed of the security forces' response.
"Somali and Amisom security forces responded immediately to the situation after the initial explosion and have brought the situation under control. Sadly we must wait to hear the full details and confirmation of any casualties," he said in a statement.
"All our thoughts and prayers are with our UN colleagues today. But al-Shabab will not derail the peace process. They will not stop our recovery. Violence will not win."
Earlier a UN official told the Associated Press news agency that during the sustained firing all staff were "moved to the bunkers where it's safe".
Andrew, an aid agency worker staying at a nearby hotel, witnessed some of the fighting.
"When I heard the explosions I went up onto the roof of the Jazeera Hotel," he told the BBC.
"There were six mini-explosions. We saw UN troops on the roof of their compound shooting down at the attackers. An RPG-7 hit the hotel, it hit the side wall on the fifth floor."
Al-Shabab, which had been in control of parts of Mogadishu for more than two years, withdrew in August 2011 under pressure from pro-government forces, but continues to launch occasional suicide attacks in the city.
It has also been pushed out of other cities, but still remains in control of smaller towns and large swathes of the countryside in central and southern Somalia.
The improving security situation has prompted the return of Somalis from the diaspora and allowed UN agencies and foreign embassies to return to the country.
Some 18,000 AU troops are in the country supporting the government of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud who was elected by MPs last September.
His administration is the first one in more than two decades to be recognised by the US and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The figures, which cover 2013, show an increase of almost 7% on the previous year.
And provisional figures for 2014 show the upward trend is continuing.
Beef, lamb and mutton, milk and dairy products are the biggest sectors, accounting for around half of turnover.
It is estimated that industry sales for 2014 will be more than £4,770m.
Around 43% of total sales - £1,941m worth of goods - was sold to Great Britain.
Northern Ireland companies also sold £705m worth of products to the Republic of Ireland.
The statistics are part of the report on the Northern Ireland food and drinks processing sector, published by the Department of Agriculture.
It estimates that in 2013 the food and drink industry contributed around 3.8% of Northern Ireland's total gross value added.
The number of people directly employed in the sector increased by more than 1,000 to 21,354 what are known as full-time employee equivalents in 2013.
At a public health summit in Washington, she hit back after the Trump administration loosened nutritional standards aimed at making US school lunches healthier.
"Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap," she said.
One in five American children is obese, government figures show.
In thinly-veiled criticism of the policies of the new administration, Mrs Obama told the audience: "This is where you really have to look at motives, you know.
"You have to stop and think, why don't you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you? And why is that a partisan issue? Why would that be political? What is going on?"
She added: "Take me out of the equation - like me or don't like me. But think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.
"Why would you celebrate that? Why would you sit idly and be okay with that? Because here's the secret: If someone is doing that, they don't care about your kid."
While in the White House, Mrs Obama championed the "Let's Move" campaign, which encourages exercise and healthy eating among young people.
The 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act made federal grants for school meals conditional on reductions in calories, sodium and trans fat content and increases in fruit, vegetables and whole grains.
However, earlier this month, US Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue postponed reductions in sodium, relaxed requirements for whole grains and allowed sweetened flavoured milk back.
He said some aspects of the standards had "gone too far".
The agriculture department said the change would give schools "greater flexibility".
There were warnings the Trade Union Bill - which passed its first Commons test despite Labour opposition on Monday - was a "declaration of war".
The government says the changes would protect the public from disruptive action, and had most people's backing.
Unions agreed to oppose the legislation "every inch of the way".
They also backed rail union RMT's motion for the TUC to consider "assisting in organising generalised strike action" in the event of legal action under the new bill being taken against trade unions.
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady, speaking at the TUC conference in Brighton, warned delegates that she had reservations about the phrase "generalised strike action", saying it was open to "ambiguous interpretation".
Nonetheless, she described the government's proposals as "the most draconian, the most ideological, the most right-wing assault on organised labour in any advanced industrial democracy in living memory".
Downing Street responded to the TUC vote by saying the reforms the government was seeking were to ensure the right balance between unions and those people who are affected by strikes.
MPs backed the Trade Union Bill, which proposes higher voting thresholds for ballots, by 33 votes at second reading.
During that debate Business Secretary Sajid Javid said the bill was "not a declaration of war" against unions but necessary to stop "endless" threats of industrial action, while Labour said the bill was "draconian and counter-productive".
The second reading in the Commons is the key test of whether legislation is likely to get through a vote of MPs - but the bill now has to go through a lengthy stage of line-by-line scrutiny in committee and also needs to be passed by the House of Lords before getting its final Commons approval.
The government wants to impose a minimum 50% turnout in strike ballots - with public sector strikes also requiring the backing of at least 40% of those eligible to vote.
Under current rules, strikes can be called if the majority of those taking part in a ballot vote in favour.
The bill, which would apply to unions in England, Wales and Scotland, will also:
The Lloyd George Museum in Llanystumdwy will get £27,000 a year over three years from 2017/18.
It is the same amount Gwynedd council will cut from the venue's funding which put its future at risk.
Dion Hamer, from the museum, said the funding was "great news".
The museum was established in 1947, two years after David Lloyd George died. His second wife, Frances, left some land in the village to build a permanent memorial to her husband.
The museum launched a £250,000 centenary appeal earlier this year.
Two men were shot in the legs during attacks on Sandy Street and Armagh Road in the city on 17 September.
Police searched a house at Churchill Park in Portadown on Tuesday night and arrested two men aged 34 and 20.
The 34-year-old is being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder, as well as the possession of firearms and class A drugs.
The 20-year-old was arrested for possession of firearms in suspicious circumstances and possession of class A drugs.
Three guns and a quantity of suspected drugs were seized during the search.
Last month, a 26-year-old man was charged with two counts of attempted murder, kidnapping and possession of a firearm with intent over the two shootings in Newry.
In the first incident, a man called at a house in Sandys Street and, after an argument, shot the occupant in the leg.
A short time later, another man, was taken from a house at Ardfield Avenue, Warrenpoint, by four masked men and driven to the Armagh Road in Newry, where he was also shot in leg.
Sterling was used as a substitute in the Euro 2016 Group E qualifier after telling boss Roy Hodgson he was tired.
Ferdinand said more English players should follow the 19-year-old's lead as it would benefit the national team.
He said on Twitter: "Fair play to him. English players are normally too proud to do that unlike our foreign friends."
Sterling came on as a 64th-minute substitute in Tallinn and was fouled for the free-kick that captain Wayne Rooney scored from.
The teenager, who has played 1,079 minutes of football this season, responded to criticisms from fans by tweeting: "Excuse me for being human. On my way home."
Last month Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers had promised to protect the teenager in a bid to avoid the experiences of Michael Owen, whose career stuttered from his mid-twenties onwards because of injury.
Like Owen, who made the England 1998 World Cup squad aged 18, Sterling has become a key player for both his club and country at a young age.
Ferdinand said he and other England players, like Rooney and Steven Gerrard, would have benefited from more rest and pointed to his former Manchester United team-mate Carolos Tevez, who would not take part in training when tired.
The former defender added on Twitter: "Tevez would come in some days and sit on the massage bed while the team trained. "I'm tired"... match day - firing and energised.
"With more rest at the right times throughout seasons, Rooney would have gone into tournaments for England fresher 100%. Too proud again.
"Same could be said of Gerrard, [Frank] Lampard, John Terry, Ashley Cole myself etc - all too proud to sit out of training or a match with the bigger picture in mind.
"Going by many of the responses on here - because players earn a fortune they cannot get tired. Leave off!"
Former England rugby union captain Will Carling also sympathised with Sterling.
"Always amazed how simplistic some people are," Carling tweeted. "Professional sportspeople can never get tired/ lose form. They get paid! They're still human!!
"I am not just talking footy. Sometimes the adrenaline is just not there. The extra edge. Down to opposition, or fatigue."
The median income per secondary pupil in academies for 2015-16 was £5,714, down from £6,340 in 2011-12, not taking into account inflation.
Head teachers have been campaigning about funding shortages.
But last week Education Secretary Justine Greening promised to reallocate £1.3bn more for school budgets.
The figures from the Department for Education show a £280m shortfall between total income and expenditure in academies in 2015-16.
This represents a gap of 1.5%, compared with 1% in the previous year.
About six in 10 multi-academy trusts spent more than their income - and just under half of standalone academies had an income shortfall.
But the Department for Education says this "deficit does not mean that these academies or trusts are in debt, as they may have reserve funds through which these costs were met".
The figures also show that the proportion of income spent by academies on teaching is lower than in 2011-12, while the proportion of spending on "back office" costs has risen.
But the Department for Education cautions against direct comparisons, because the number of academies has changed across these years.
And the department claims that academies could have collective reserves worth more than £2bn.
Median per-pupil funding is presented as a more reliable measure over time.
Most secondary schools are now academies - and the official figures show that at secondary school level income has fallen in cash terms - down by £626 per pupil.
But in primary schools, income has risen by £78 per pupil over the four years, without any adjustment for inflation.
The figures follow an announcement last week by the education secretary that school budgets would be protected in real terms, with £1.3bn more being put into school budgets over the next two years.
This will not be new money, but will be taken from other budgets, including spending on free schools, school improvement support and "healthy pupils" capital funding.
Ms Greening has promised that no school will lose out in cash terms from a new funding formula to be announced in the autumn.
The reallocation of funding to frontline school budgets will prevent cuts in average budgets for two years.
But the Institute for Fiscal Studies says that between 2015 and 2020 school budgets will have declined in real terms by 4.6%
Rosamund McNeil, from the National Union of Teachers, said the latest funding figures showed "the growing financial crisis affecting all schools - academies as well as maintained".
She said she was concerned that "academies' expenditure on teaching staff has fallen" and that it showed "academy status is no security against financial austerity".
But a Department for Education spokesman said the new figures showed the efficiency of the academy system and how it was open to financial scrutiny.
"The transparency we have introduced to school budgets allows parents, teachers and the wider public to ensure that money is being used to deliver the best outcomes for their pupils," he said.
"Figures like these, coupled with the introduction of our National Funding Formula, will give us even greater oversight of how much money is going into schools and how it is being spent."
The news agency's account was suspended and it advised all tweets should be ignored until further notice.
The false message said: "Breaking: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured."
US markets were spooked by the tweet; the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 150 points as it was retweeted.
On Tuesday evening, the FBI said it was investigating the incident.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters soon after the tweet was published that President Obama was fine, and financial markets quickly recovered the lost ground.
AP said later: "The @AP twitter account has been hacked. The tweet about an attack at the White House is false."
The account was back online on Wednesday.
The agency said the attack came after repeated attempts by hackers to steal the passwords of AP journalists, adding that it was working to correct the issue.
Spokesman Paul Colford said the wire service had disabled other Twitter accounts following the attack and was working with the microblogging site to investigate the breach.
AP reporter Mike Baker tweeted: "The @AP hack came less than an hour after some of us received an impressively disguised phishing email."
The phishing email in question appeared to come from the email account of another AP staffer, with a request to click a link to a "very important" article on the Washington Post website.
The link opened a bogus login page requesting users enter their staff ID and password, reports suggest.
A group claiming to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad took responsibility for the attacks, tweeting: "Ops! @AP get owned by Syrian Electronic Army! #SEA #Syria #ByeByeObama."
The Syrian Electronic Army claims to have been behind similar attacks on the twitter feeds of Agence France Presse news agency, Sky News Arabia, al-Jazeera mobile and CBS News.
Two of the US broadcaster's accounts were suspended after fake messages appearing on the @60Minutes account criticised US support for "terrorist" rebels in Syria.
On Tuesday evening, Twitter said it was investigating the incident and reminded users to be "extra vigilant" about phishing emails.

Referee Jon Moss had already sent off Leicester goalscorer Jamie Vardy for diving and awarded the Hammers a contentious penalty when he pointed to the spot after minimal contact between Andy Carroll and Jeff Schlupp in the closing seconds.
After a 2-2 draw that leaves the Foxes eight points clear before second-placed Tottenham's game at Stoke on Monday, Bilic said: "We feel frustrated and very disappointed because the game didn't deserve what happened at the end. It puts a shadow over one hell of a football game.
"I'm not eagle-eyed, an ex-referee or Howard Webb. It was hard for the referee. You have 32,000 people here screaming for a penalty for every contact in the box and for every long ball into the box. For a home side it's a penalty or handball and in the other it's a cheat or a dive."
He added: "The game went a bit crazy and they were were losing so it was very hard for him. It is easy to say refs shouldn't be influenced but this is real life - of course it's not a penalty. If you see their penalty you see a dive.
"It was a good game. Goals, penalties, red card, tackles, crosses. We are gutted - we did enough to win the game until the last five seconds."
Of Leicester captain Wes Morgan being penalised for pushing Winston Reid in the area, Bilic said: "That's the way Leicester's centre halves [Morgan and Robert Huth] play and they get away with this all the time.
"Leicester are dangerous from our set pieces. We told our guys before the game but every manager will have said the same thing and they still broke and scored their first goal, so great credit to them."

Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri refused to discuss the referee's performance but praised his players for the manner in which they recovered from conceding goals to Carroll and Aaron Cresswell in the last 10 minutes to get a point.
He said: "It was a tough match. The sending-off changed the match but I am so proud. I always ask my players to give me their soul and their heart until the end and our supporters were also fantastic.
"I never speak about the referee. The referee is part of the game and that's OK for me. I want to speak about my players and we when we conceded the second goal we wanted to draw. It was unbelievable, fantastic, amazing."
Ranieri was relaxed mod about losing two points, despite the fact that leading scorer Vardy will be missing for next weekend's home game against Swansea.
"We are not worried," said Ranieri. "We were worried at the start of the season about reaching 40 points. If a side is better than us then well done because we are doing the maximum.
"Psychologically the last goal is fantastic. It is more important than the point psychologically. It shows we are there."
And on Vardy's absence he said: "Ulloa will come in and he is not just a fantastic man, he is a good striker, a good player."
Two men were found in the street and another in a back garden on Goldthorn Hill in Goldthorn Park at about midnight.
A member of the public flagged down a police car and the men, aged 27,31 and 36, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The road has been cordoned off while police investigate.
Sgt Carl Russell said: "Several people have told us that a car was seen to speed away from the scene shortly after the attack.
"We are appealing to anyone who may have seen this car to come forward with information.
"The injured men are in a serious condition and continue to be treated in hospital."
The 33-year-old, who was captain for six years, says it is "time for someone else to take the ODI side forward".
He missed South Africa's Test series defeat in England because he "needed a bit of time away from the game".
But De Villiers, speaking on Facebook, said he feels "refreshed and revived".
De Villiers, who has more than 8,000 Test runs at an average of 50.46, has not played a Test since January 2016.
He played for the Proteas in the T20 series against England last month and captained the ODI side in the Champions Trophy, where they failed to reach the semi-finals.
In a statement he defended accusations he has been "picking and choosing when to play".
"Over the past year or so, I have tried to manage many commitments, " he said. "I have felt mentally and physically tired; my wife and I are bringing up two fantastic kids and playing in all three formats ever since 2004 has taken its toll.
"Together with Cricket South Africa, we have tried to develop a viable schedule which allows me to prolong my career for as long as possible."
He added: "This strategy has prompted some people to say I am picking and choosing when to play for the Proteas, and even to suggest I am somehow putting myself before the team.
"That is simply not true. That has never been true. Playing for South Africa is, and will always be, the greatest privilege of my life. "
South Africa host Bangladesh in two Tests, starting on 28 September, while India and Australia will tour in early 2018.
Cafodd ei fagu yn North Shields yng ngogledd ddwyrain Lloegr ac fe ddysgodd y Gymraeg ym Mhrifysgol Cymru, Llambed, lle enillodd ddoethuriaeth am astudiaeth o waith Samuel Beckett.

Ymysg ei weithiau eraill roedd Esgyrn Bach, Chwilio am Sebastian Pierce a Ras Olaf Harri Selwyn.
Wrth roi teyrnged iddo, dywedodd yr awdur a'r sylwebydd Jon Gower: "Mae rhywun yn cofio Tony Bianchi fel dyn hynod o annwyl a chariadlawn, a phob sgwrs gydag ef yn werth ei gael.
"Fel awdur roedd wedi llunio saith nofel, a'r rheini yn soffistigedig iawn - cyfrolau doeth a chwareus ar yr un pryd, gan ennill iddo Wobr Daniel Owen a'r Fedal Ryddiaith.
"Mae teitl ei gasgliad o straeon hunangofiannol 'Cyffesion Geordie Oddi Adref' yn ein hatgoffa taw dyma frodor o Ogledd Lloegr wnaeth nid yn unig ddysgu Cymraeg ond ei llwyr meddiannu."
Mae rhai o gyd-awduron a llenorion Tony Bianchi wedi bod yn rhannu eu teyrngedau iddo ar wefannau cymdeithasol.
Dywedodd Manon Steffan Ros ar Twitter: "Tony Bianchi. Athrylith mentrus, ffraeth, addfwyn a charedig. Diolch amdano fo a'r geiria' mae o wedi gadael ar ei ôl."
Yn ôl Aneirin Karadog, roedd gan Tony Bianchi "cymaint mwy i'w roi" a'i fod yn "(g)olled enfawr i fyd llên Cymru".
Cafwyd sawl cyfeiriad hefyd at ei wreiddiau yng ngogledd ddwyrain Lloegr. Fe ddisgrifiodd Seimon Brooks ef fel "Cymro da, Geordie da" a'i fod yn " (d)dyn hyfryd a diwylliedig, gwâr a gwybodus".
Roedd Tony Bianchi yn un o feirniaid Gwobr Goffa Daniel Owen fydd yn cael ei chyhoeddi yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Ynys Môn fis Awst eleni.
Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol fod "marwolaeth Tony Bianchi yn golled fawr i lenyddiaeth".
"Roedd Tony Bianchi'n gefnogwr brwd o'r Eisteddfod, yn enillydd rheolaidd a phoblogaidd ac yn feirniad teg a bonheddig.

"Roedd yn bleser delio gyda Tony bob amser a bydd colled fawr ar ei ôl yn yr Eisteddfod ac ar draws Cymru."
The collision, believed to involve two lorries and a car, happened at the Marykirk turnoff.
The car was said to be on fire.
There were no details of any injuries. Southbound traffic was being diverted.
Worst affected is the province of Quang Binh, where at least 11 people have been killed, crops destroyed and livestock washed away.
The floods have been caused by torrential rain, but local media say sudden discharges from hydropower reservoirs worsened the flooding.
Typhoon Sarika could bring more bad weather if it strikes Vietnam.
On Sunday the storm passed the main Philippine island of Luzon and headed into the South China Sea.
Several thousand Filipinos had evacuated ahead of the typhoon, and property damage, downed power lines and fallen trees were reported.
Typhoon Sarika could hit northern Vietnam early next week, according to the country's weather bureau.
So far the flooding has affected tens of thousands of people across four central provinces. Images show houses with only their roofs above water.
Local media say more than 70,000 houses have flood damage in Quang Binh and almost 25,000 in Ha Tinh province.
Rice fields and other agricultural land have been inundated, local media report, and the main north-south rail link is affected.
In Quang Binh, questions were being asked over the release of water by hydropower plants.
VnExpress quoted a provincial official as saying that discharges had caused water levels to rise fast.
"The dam operators should have informed locals properly in advance," he was quoted as saying.
Members of Unison and GMB have backed industrial action in protest at a 1% pay offer.
Police community support officers (PCSOs) and fingerprint experts are among those who voted for the action.
The unions want a 3% increase in wages and complain about staff facing a pay freeze or below inflation rises for the past three years.
Unison members voted by around 60% in favour of strikes.
Other police staff members balloted included 999 call handlers and custody and detention officers.
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: "These results send a clear message that after two years of pay freeze and last year's below inflation pay rise, police staff have had enough and that they are now ready to take industrial action over pay.
"We are calling on the police employers to return to the negotiating table to improve the current pay offer."
The union's police sector committee is set to meet to consider the ballot results, and discuss the next move.
Members of the GMB union also voted in favour of strikes, and national officer Sharon Holder said: "Following the conclusion of the ballots, unions will now meet and announce the planned industrial action."
The calls played a recorded message that urged people to back his campaign to be Labour's candidate.
Information Commissioner Christopher Graham said the same rules apply to canvassing for votes as apply "to offering a discount on double glazing".
People getting Mr Lammy's calls had not given permission to receive such calls.
This meant, according to the Information Commissioner's Office investigation, Mr Lammy had broken the rules set out in the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations.
Mr Graham said: "If you want to call someone in this way, you must follow these rules. Mr Lammy did not, and that is why he has been fined.
"It's not good enough to assume the people you're contacting probably won't mind. The law requires you to have permission before making calls with recorded messages. And if the law isn't followed, the regulator will act."
The calls were made in August 2015 using contact details of party members provided by the Labour Party. Mr Lammy did not make the additional checks necessary to ensure he was able to contact the people with recorded messages, the watchdog said.
Mr Graham said: "Mr Lammy's team should have known there were special controls in place around calls with recorded massages. Not only have we published detailed guidance on political campaigning on our website, but we have contacted political parties directly to remind them of the rules."
Mr Lammy came fourth in the contest last year to become Labour's candidate in the forthcoming London mayoral elections with 9.4% of first preferences.
Somerset County Council is conducting two consultations as part of efforts to balance its budget for next year.
Cabinet member, David Fothergill said: "We currently subsidise 75 services and there are 25 of them we're looking at."
Protesters said the move would increase rural isolation and price some people out of using community buses.
The cuts would hit some weekend routes and services between most towns in Somerset, including Yeovil, Langport and Taunton.
Mr Fothergill added: "They're the ones with low usage or there's alternative means we can provide or it's just not economical to run them any more."
Tracey Harding, co-founder of the Frome and Villages Buses Action Group, which campaigns for better public bus services, said: "Frome has already lost three of its Saturday services in the last round of cuts made by First Bus.
"To have more cuts would be devastating."
The proposals would also halve the 50% concession bus pass holders receive on community transport to 25%.
Community bus Wiveylink is run by the Wiveliscombe Area Partnership.
Pauline Homeshaw from the group said: "We're addressing rural isolation which so many people who use Wiveylink are absolutely suffering from already and Wiveylink has rescued them from that isolated state.
The council said the consultations would run until January, with a final decision taken later.
The Cobblers moved five points clear after Saturday's 2-0 win over York City - their eleventh victory in 12 games.
Two years ago, Town were six points adrift at the bottom of the division, before securing survival by beating Oxford in the final game of the season.
"Results show where we were and where we are now, so it's a big change," Wilder told BBC Radio Northampton.
"We're all enjoying the position that we're in, we didn't enjoy the position that we found ourselves in two years ago."
Wilder's side settled for a mid-table finish in his first full season in charge last term, but they are now 14 points above fourth-placed Bristol Rovers with 18 games to play.
"Sometimes you have a few dips along the way but that's how it is, that's generally what football clubs have to get on with," he added.
"Of course you have the odd game and you have the odd moan and groan behind you, and that sometimes rattles you a little bit.
"We look at a longer-term view and we've done extremely well, and we want to make sure we finish the job off."
Mountsorrel Railway was originally an industrial steam line used for transporting granite from quarries surrounding the Leicestershire village.
It fell out of use in the 1950s and the track was lifted in the 1960s.
It has reopened as a heritage railway for passengers, and is an extra branch line for the Great Central Railway.
Mountsorrel Railway project leader Steve Cramp came up with the idea after doing some research into local history.
He discovered the quarry used to run Sunday outings for local children, who were allowed to ride in the open wagons.
"We got into this through a desire to be able to do historical recreations and it grew from there," he said.
"It's very special because it has been restored by community volunteers.
"Rather than a group of enthusiasts employing contractors to restore the railway it's been undertaken entirely by the community volunteers."
Hundreds of passengers rode trains throughout Saturday and Sunday as part of the opening weekend.
Other people who want to try the railway will have to wait until next year, when it is is expected to open fully around Easter time.
A railway station has been built as part of the restoration, and work to build a community heritage centre is under way.
It comes after the 22-year-old accused the governing body of abandoning him after he had hip surgery last year.
Tomic, ranked 26th, was critical of former world number one Pat Rafter, Tennis Australia's director of player performance.
"His behaviour was unacceptable," said Tennis Australia president Steve Healy.
Tomic, who was knocked out of Wimbledon in the third round by Novak Djokovic on Friday, accused the Australian tennis authorities of penny-pinching, saying he was charged for practising at the Pat Rafter Arena in Brisbane, adding that things changed after his surgery.
"I didn't get one phone call from Tennis Australia, Can we help you, Bernard? Can we do this? Do you need something? You know, Can we give you something?" he said.
"What's going on? Where is the support? How can you do this? It's not about the money. It's about the respect."
Healy added: "Playing for our country is an absolute privilege, and with that privilege comes an obligation to behave appropriately. He didn't.
"The allegations are misinformed and untrue and he publicly derided some outstanding people. We are trying to build a strong culture underpinned by a philosophy of opportunity, not entitlement. This stuff is just not on."
Rafter had said that he would end funding for players in their 20s and that Tomic's sister Sara, 17, would also have her funding cut off because of the uncooperative attitude of their controversial father John.
In 2013, Tomic Sr was sentenced to eight months in prison for assaulting his son's training partner before a tournament.
Owners of large air-vented dryers and condensing dryers under the Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda brands may need to have them fixed.
Parent company Whirlpool said eight million affected dryers had been sold in the last 11 years, including five million in the UK.
So far, 70,000 cases had been resolved.
Other customers are facing a long wait for a visit. Some have reported an eight-week waiting list.
"Given the large number of dryers affected, we currently have a wait time of many weeks before the repair service can be completed," the company, which has 1,000 engineers, said.
"This is not up to our high standard of service and we are working to address it."
More than three million people are being written to about the safety notice, with 1.8 million expected to receive letters in the next two to three weeks.
Whirlpool bought manufacturer Indesit, including the Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda brands, in October 2014.
Investigations into reports of fires led eventually to the huge programme of alerts and repairs announced in November.
The company is asking owners to check whether their machine is one of those affected and, if so, to contact the company through Hotpoint's dedicated website or the matching Indesit site. The model number, usually found on the back of the dryer door, can be entered in the online checker.
If action is needed, an engineer will visit to mend the machine - a process that the company said could take an hour.
The company has written to 1.5 million customers so far, and expects to contact a further 1.8 million by the start of February.
The company said a substantial number of the millions of dryers sold over the last 11 years would have been replaced or scrapped.
So far, more than 625,000 customers have registered for a repair, the company said.
With many facing a lengthy wait, the company said it was offering discounts on new products for those whose appliance was more than two years old.
While waiting for a repair, owners are being advised not to use their dryer when they are out of the house or asleep, and to clean the filter after every cycle.
Earlier this month, charity Electrical Safety First urged shoppers to register their electrical products with the manufacturer in order to receive details of any recalls.
It said faulty appliances, in general, caused £41.6m of damage in the UK every year and 46 deaths were caused each year by electrical fires.
Since 2011 there have been more than 300 different recalled electrical items, and the charity said that the success rate for recalling items in the UK was rarely higher than 10% to 20%.
"We know electrical products are high on shopping lists this sale season so we are urging the public to keep their families and homes safe by making a habit of registering a new product as soon as they get it home," said Emma Apter, of Electrical Safety First.
"People may think it's too much hassle or there is no benefit of providing contact details but an unregistered appliance can be a hidden danger in homes as it's difficult for manufacturers to trace them."
Freedom of information figures from 34 of 43 police forces showed 1,002 people arrested for begging in 2014 - of whom 199 were legally defined as homeless.
Big Issue founder John Bird said people with chaotic lives need more support.
"It's easy to get people out of the streets. But it's not easy to get the streets out of people," said Mr Bird.
Mr Bird said finding accommodation was often only part of the problem for former rough sleepers, and was critical of many official attempts to tackle the issue.
The legal definition of homelessness, used by the police, says someone is homeless if they have no accommodation they are entitled to occupy - or if the standard of their accommodation is so bad they cannot reasonably be expected to occupy it.
Jon Sparkes, chief executive of the charity Crisis, told the programme the statistics risked exacerbating the problem for the people in most need of help.
"Clearly there are different groups - some people, it may be organised; some people, they may have some kind of addiction.
"Some people might be not homeless but living in real poverty - and of course then there are people who are homeless as well."
He said the figures could give the people in real need "a bad name in the eyes of the public - and they are then less likely to get that lifeline, that moment of kindness that they really need".
The highest numbers of arrests last year were made by police in Merseyside and the West Midlands.
Robbie, who is homeless and has lived on Liverpool's streets on and off for 10 years, spends most nights in a hostel but says sleeping rough can be a way of making money without actually begging.
"You can't get arrested if you just lie on the street doorway and people walk past and feel sorry for you and give you money. But if you don't ask the person for money, you can't get arrested."
A Home Office spokeswoman said the government had given police and local authorities "a range of new and flexible powers to tackle anti-social behaviour, including begging, which is a criminal offence."
Since 2010 the government has made over £500m available to local authorities and voluntary groups to prevent and tackle homelessness, the spokeswoman added.
"Our £20m Homelessness Transition Fund has supported the roll-out of No Second Night Out across England, ensuring more rough sleepers are found and helped quickly so that they do not spend more than one night on the street."
Particularly when there's $100 up for grabs.
Let's let Open champion and European stalwart Henrik Stenson, who was partnering Justin Rose in a practice match, take up the story...
"We played a match against Andy Sullivan and Rory McIlroy and they had a putt and Andy didn't make it, and they tried again to get the right line.
"Someone in the crowd yelled 'I could have made that', so we let him have a go."
"Justin Rose put $100 down and the guy drilled it in the centre.
"He would have been chipping if it didn't go in, but all credit to him for making it."
Rose added: "I thought [the money] might make it a bit more real for him, but clearly not. The boys were cupping out, missing it low and this guy just ripped it into the middle. Fair play to him and he celebrated in style.
"It's fun," laughed Rose. "We are doing what we should be doing out here, having fun. We are preparing, we are focusing, but you have to enjoy it."
So who was the heckler-turned-hero?
It was David Johnson, from North Dakota, who later admitted: "I closed my eyes, hit the putt and it happened to go in."
UKIP wants full "maritime sovereignty" and Parliamentary supremacy over laws, no "divorce bill" nor payments to the EU budget after the UK's withdrawal.
Party leader Paul Nuttall said UKIP would act as the "guard dog" of Brexit.
The prime minister will invoke Article 50 on Wednesday.
This will trigger a two-year process in which the UK and the remaining 27 EU nations will seek to agree the terms of the UK's exit as well as the outline of the UK's future relationship with the union.
In a speech on Monday, Mr Nuttall said that the UK's exit - set in motion by last year's Leave referendum vote - must be "done and dusted" by the end of 2019.
As it stands, the UK is on course to leave the EU on 29 March 2019, unless both sides agree to extend talks. But Brexit supporters have also spoken for the need for a completely "clean break", arguing there can be no transitional arrangements nor payments to maintain access to the single market afterwards.
Mr Nuttall set out six key objectives that he says any acceptable final agreement must be judged against:
"While we will be willing Mrs May to succeed in agreeing to a full Brexit on our terms, we want her to keep faith with the will of the British people as expressed in the referendum result," he said.
"We will also be letting her know that the political price she will pay for backsliding or watering down the ambitions will be very high indeed. I have described this role as akin to being the guard dog of Brexit."
UKIP has suggested fishing will be one of the early tests of how hard a bargain Mrs May is prepared to drive.
It has warned the government against adopting any aspects of Common Fisheries Policy into UK law as part of its proposed Great Repeal Bill. This legislation will transfer existing EU laws applying to the UK onto the statute book before Parliament decides later which to keep and which to jettison.
Vessels from other EU nations, UKIP argues, should not have any form of "backdoor" access to UK territorial waters, with domestic fleets having sole entry to a 200 mile "exclusive economic zone".
EU officials have suggested the UK could have to pay up to £50bn to retain privileged access to the single market and to settle existing budget liabilities although a recent House of Lords committee report argued the UK would not be lawfully obliged to pay a penny.
UKIP will have little sway in Parliament when a vote is held on the final settlement as its only MP - Douglas Carswell - quit over the weekend and said he plans to serve as an independent. The party only has a handful of peers in the House of Lords.
However, UKIP has 20 MEPs in the European Parliament, which also has to give its consent to the terms of the UK's exit.
Labour set out its own six tests on Monday, including no dilution of the benefits the UK currently gets through the single market and customs union. It also warned against rushing the negotiations.
Joshua Bwalya, 16, was found dead when officers were called to Movers Lane, Barking on Wednesday.
Det Ch Insp Gary Holmes said the attack was "a senseless act of violence" that "was not only cowardly, but brutal".
A man aged 18, and another male, whose age is currently unknown, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Both remain in custody at an east London police station.
A boy, 16, and a man, 20, were also injured during the attack.
Both were taken to different hospitals in the capital before they were arrested on suspicion of murder, police said.
They were later released without further action.
A post-mortem examination of Joshua's body found multiple stab wounds were the cause of death.
Captain Jamaal Lascelles headed the Magpies in front from Matt Ritchie's free-kick before Yoan Gouffran hit the bar with a 25-yard shot.
Anthony Knockaert struck the woodwork for the visitors but they were reduced to 10 men when Sam Baldock was sent off for two yellow cards.
Jonjo Shelvey then curled in a free-kick to wrap up a comfortable win.
Newcastle began the season with back-to-back defeats by Fulham and leaders Huddersfield, but victories over Reading, Bristol City and now Brighton have seen them go into the international break fourth in the table.
Lascelles' free header from 15 yards gave them the perfect start and they created several other clear chances as Ritchie saw a shot saved by David Stockdale, while Gouffran also hit a half-volley over the bar.
Glenn Murray had a volley blocked by Lascelles and Knockaert hit the bar with a shot from 10 yards as the visitors started the second half brightly.
But once Baldock was shown a second yellow card for a late challenge on home keeper Matz Sels the result was never in doubt.
Shelvey's free-kick doubled the lead and, although Sels produced a fine late save to deny Beram Kayal, Newcastle comfortably completed a first win over Brighton since 1990.
Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez:
"It was important to win against a team going well with players and a manager who has experience in this division.
"We got a lot of the things we were looking for today but there is still room for improvement.
"The team has been working very hard. But when you want change and improvement, it takes time.
"It is good to have another win before the international break, and it would be good to carry it on, but we have a rest now."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton:
"I thought it (the sending-off) was harsh. If you watch the second challenge, the keeper kicks Sam. He is not that sort of player.
"Newcastle were very efficient but it feels like a missed opportunity. They scored from two set pieces and although they hit the bar, we had the better chances.
"We are disappointed because we felt we had a good chance today and we didn't pose as much of a threat as we should have."

The community-led Stove Network wants to see more buildings brought under local control and create new housing and services on the High Street.
Nearly 500 people have backed their vision of a Midsteeple Quarter in the heart of the town.
It follows an online survey which asked the public for its views on how to improve the area.
Melissa Gunn, of the University of the West of Scotland, who are members of the community partnership leading the project, said they had been "overwhelmed" by the response.
"Online surveys often bring out more negative responses, but here the opposite was true," she said.
"We were particularly surprised by 40% of people saying they themselves would be keen to live in the town centre."
The survey found backing for a "populated town centre" in order to make the area more vibrant.
There was also "strong support" for a mix of accommodation from affordable tenancies to student accommodation and private flats available in the upper floors above shops.
Matt Baker of The Stove Network said: "Everyone in the team is just delighted by the progress to date - this feels like a very different approach for the town with a diverse mix of local people and groups leading the project.
"Everyone is bringing their own expertise and experience and being respectful of what others have to contribute.
"We have had excellent support from right across the council - this really could be the beginning of the long-hoped-for turnaround in the fortunes of Dumfries town centre."
The incident which occurred five years ago involved firefighter Edric Kennedy-Macfoy.
The BBC has learned no evidence was offered against the officers involved.
The IPCC has apologised to Mr Kennedy-Macfoy for what it called "procedural shortfalls" in its investigation.
It added it would be carrying out an "in depth review" to ensure its procedures were strengthened.
In a statement the IPCC said: "We recognise the effect this will have had on both Mr Kennedy-Macfoy and the officers involved, and would like to take this opportunity to apologise to them."
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy had originally complained about the behaviour of six police officers.
The IPCC found several problems with the investigation into the case including the fact that witness interviews that should have been carried out at the time of Mr Kennedy-Macfoy's complaint had not been completed.
Last year, Scotland Yard apologised and paid him compensation to settle a civil claim he brought against the force.
On Wednesday the Met said: "We fully recognise that the misconduct hearing not going ahead is damaging for the complainant and for the public who need to have confidence in the way officers are held to account for their actions".
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy said he felt the last five years of his life had been "stolen" from him.
"These proceedings have been withdrawn before I was given the chance to give evidence before the tribunal and I will forever feel that I have been denied justice," he said.
"I am deeply troubled by the institutional obstacles I have encountered to address and confront why this ever happened."
One of the officers allegedly involved, Mark Gatland who was suspended by the Met to prevent him leaving the force pending the misconduct hearing, was allowed to take a second job as a train driver.
Lawyers for PC Gatland said the damage to his "health and well-being" as a result of the long-running case was "impossible to quantify".
The incident occurred in September 2011 - one month after the London riots - during a disturbance with police at Harrow in north London.
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy said he had offered to help - but was charged with obstructing police and resisting arrest.
He was cleared at Brent Magistrates Court in February 2012.
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy went on to make a formal complaint about his treatment.
He claimed he'd been targeted by police because he was black, alleging he was shot with a Taser stun gun, assaulted and verbally abused.
An investigation into the conduct of six officers was launched by Scotland Yard's Directorate of Professional Standards under the supervision of the IPCC.
In March 2013 the watchdog decided to take over the case itself and conduct an independent investigation which it said at the time would be carried out "as quickly as possible".
In January 2014, one of the policeman allegedly involved retired from the Met.
A hearing was due to start last week for three of the others but became delayed in legal arguments believed to relate to the non-disclosure of crucial documents by the IPCC.
On Wednesday, the IPCC withdrew from the case, and the Metropolitan Police, which formally brought the disciplinary proceedings, offered no evidence leading to the three officers being formally cleared of the charges.
Mr Kennedy-Macfoy's lawyer, Shamik Dutta, said he would be seeking a "full public apology from the IPCC" which he said had "failed in its duty to investigate the case properly".
Lawyers for Mr Gatland said: "The damage caused to the officer's health and well-being as well as to his family is impossible to quantify at this time. The damage to the public perception of policing in this matter being falsely portrayed as a racist event is scandalous." | A man's body has been recovered from the sea off Ceredigion.

Since it was first confirmed at a Buckinghamshire nursery in March, the number of cases has slowly increased.
And in late October, ecologists' fears were realised when an important barrier was breached - it was found in the wider environment and the UK's 80 million ash trees were at risk.
The news last month that the disease, caused by the fungus Chalara fraxinea, had been found in woodlands in East Anglia prompted Mr Paterson to impose an import ban on ash trees, and to carry out a nationwide survey to find out how far the disease had spread.
He also convened an emergency summit, bringing together "key stakeholders", to consider what could be done. The resulting action plan, agreed at an emergency Cobra meeting, outlined where the government would focus its efforts.
The plan seems to be pinning a great deal of hope on scientists finding natural resistance within the UK's population of ash trees.
Once identified, researchers would then look to grow the next generation of ash trees that would be resilient to the pathogen.
One of the government's leading scientists, Prof Ian Boyd, is optimistic.
He told journalists: "By next season, we could potentially have resistant forms of ash growing in this country."
Mind the gap
But ash trees, while considered fast-growing within the world of hardwood trees, take decades to reach maturity and produce the seeds that would sow naturally resistant trees.
In the interim, ash dieback will continue to spread and trees would continue to become infected and not be replaced, as Dr Pocock explained.
How ash dieback could threaten Britain's wildlife
"Those that are susceptible to the disease will get hit, and those that are not or less susceptible will go on and will be able to fruit. That is the process of natural selection," he told BBC News.
"But the process of natural selection on trees will operate on much longer timescales.
"If there was a disease that affected an annual plant, the selection pressure on that plant would be such that you would get resistance, and then you would get the spread of the resistant [offspring of the plant].
"You would see a dip in that species population for a couple of years, and then it would be likely to recover," Dr Pocock explained.
"You would expect to see the same thing in trees, but the timescale is at least decades rather than months or years."
So would ecosystems be able to cope with the loss of ash trees from the landscape while the naturally resistant trees matured?
RSPB forestry officer Nick Phillips said UK woodlands were already in trouble.
"The important point to remember here is that woodland wildlife is already in crisis," he told BBC News.
"One in six woodland flowers is threatened with extinction. Our woodland butterflies have halved since the 1990s. Many of our woodland birds have declined by 70% or more.
"This is not the result of tree disease, this is something that has already been going on for some time.
"Our woodland wildlife is already stressed and we don't know yet what effect additional stress will have on it."
Mission impossible
And the outbreak is already shaping the future, as tree managers weigh up the risk of planting ash in woodlands.
This year saw the Woodland Trust create 59 Diamond Woods and its flagship 460-acre (186ha) Diamond Park in Leicestershire to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
How to spot the signs
A spokesman told BBC News that, in light of the news that the disease was here to stay, the Trust had taken the decision that it would suspend planting ash saplings and substitute them with other native species.
He added that now that the planting season was opening, there were plans to plant three million trees over the coming months.
"As it stands, we are running all tree planting events as normal. We will substitute any ash saplings for either oak, birch or possible shrubs such as hazel, dependent on the location and what fits best within the current landscape."
And the concern about planting new ash trees is spreading.
Brighton is famed for being home to veteran elms that did not fall victim to the outbreak of Dutch elm disease, thanks to the combination of the city's geographical location and a very robust tree management regime.
However, a spokeswoman for Brighton and Hove Council said such an approach would not work to prevent ash dieback infecting trees.
"The recent outbreak of ash dieback is spread by the wind, and this type of dispersal is impossible to protect against.
"At present, we are not purchasing any ash trees and would avoid the species until we know more about the disease."
So until scientists make a breakthrough and can propagate ash dieback-resistant trees, the situation for ash - a popular street tree - is likely to get worse before it gets better.
Ash is one of just 30-odd native tree species, making the thought of losing it from the landscape a difficult pill to swallow for many people.
"It is very difficult to predict what the impact will be if ash dieback is as serious as the worst fears," Centre for Ecology and Hydrology ecologist Michael Pocock observed.
"The vast majority if not all ecologists will be [recording the spread and impact of the disease] with a heavy heart because, ultimately, we are not ecologists to chart the progress of doom - we are ecologists because we care about the environment and we want to do something positive."
But teenagers experiencing abuse often get little help, slipping through the cracks between child protection and domestic violence services.
One girl who experienced this first hand, Taylah Douglas, has spoken to BBC Newsnight about what happened.
"When I first met him it was good, he was my first proper boyfriend and it was kind of like a movie," Taylah says of the boyfriend she met when they were both 16 years old.
Within a short space of time, still aged 16, she moved in with him and his family.
"He properly turned into a different person about two or three months into the relationship," she says. "He would call me fat and ugly and he would call me a slut.
"He started to push me and pull me. He would burn me with lighters, then it got onto hitting, punching and slapping."
The boy told her that she could not return to her own family home and confiscated her mobile phone. Without the money for a train ticket and in the face of further violence, Taylah says she felt isolated and alone.
The abuse worsened with him hitting her harder and harder until, Taylah says, she came to a sudden realisation that she had to leave.
"I just woke up one day and I felt different, I knew that if I didn't leave it was going to end up in a really bad way. I didn't know if he was going to kill me or what was going to happen."
Taylah fled the house, leaving all of her belongings behind, and sought help from the council.
"When they first offered me housing they offered me a bed and breakfast which is on the same road as my ex-boyfriend's house," she recalls.
Like many victims of domestic violence, Taylah found that leaving her partner was not the end of the problem.
According to leading domestic abuse charity Women's Aid, the most dangerous time for a victim is when they break from their partner.
Figures focused on domestic violence homicide in London show that 76% of killings happen after the victim leaves.
Taylah was forced to move a total of seven times, but on each occasion her ex-boyfriend tracked her down.
"In one of my hostels he showed up, he forced his way in and he threw a microwave at my head," she recalls.
"I went unconscious for a few minutes, probably not for a very long time, but long enough that I woke up and found myself on the other side of the room and he was stamping all over me - on my head, on my body."
One of Taylah's neighbours phoned an ambulance and she was taken to hospital. A nurse called the police, but when the officers went to her ex-boyfriend's house he was not there and he remained free.
Taylah admits that despite the severity of the assault, she told the nurse not to call the police.
SOURCE: Home Office
She says that she had contacted the police many times in the past seeking protection from her ex-boyfriend, but had found it a largely fruitless exercise.
"I called the police about 20 times, but he was only arrested once and he was held overnight in a cell, but then he was released the next morning and since then nothing has happened," she says.
Taylah also says that sometimes the police would ask her in front of her ex-boyfriend whether she wanted to press charges or not.
"I didn't want to say anything in front of my boyfriend because obviously it is a really awkward situation," she says.
Now aged 18, Taylah says that at the time she was being victimised by her ex-boyfriend she had no idea how common her experience was.
At no point was she told about support or counselling by the police or offered a place in a refuge for victims of domestic violence.
"I didn't even know what a refuge was," she says.
Such facilities are already overstretched, however; according to Women's Aid, on a typical day 320 women are turned away from refuges in England because of lack of space.
The authorities are waking up to the issue of domestic violence in teenage relationships. In 2010, a £2m government-funded TV, radio, internet and poster campaign was unveiled.
The adverts targeted boys and girls aged 13 to 18, urging them not to use violence against their girlfriends.
Chief Constable Carmel Napier, the police's national lead of domestic abuse, says that police forces across England and Wales are setting up a training programme which draws on the experience of people like Taylah to help officers understand the impact that their actions have when they turn up to an incident.
And she says that other strategies to help tackle the issue are planned.
"We are doing work with the Home Office to alter the definition of domestic abuse to also include young people right down to the age of age of 16," she says.
"We are piloting a scheme called 'domestic violence protection orders' which removes the individual, the perpetrator, from the home, which enables proper safety planning and for the victim to make choices over a period of time."
However, Chief Constable Napier accepts that there needs to be greater understanding from officers.
"We've got an awful lot of work to do in relation to getting police officers to understand that actually young people are in relationships at a much younger age and to understand that this is not acceptable whatever the age."

In the period of government "purdah" during the campaign, the policy implementation machine had ground to a halt.
It was assumed by those mandarins who had expected a remain vote that normal service would quickly resume - in trays would be emptied in a blizzard of announcements before the summer recess. Now all bets are off.
The biggest impending health policy initiative is the childhood obesity strategy. Originally postponed last autumn and then again when the referendum campaign got underway, public health experts were pinning their hopes on a July launch.
Measures to reduce sugar content of food and drink products, curb price promotions in supermarkets and extend TV and online fast food advertising restrictions were seen as urgently needed in the battle to reduce obesity and the Type 2 diabetes risk.
It's understood that a little more work on the strategy is needed but the essentials are in place.
In the light of the referendum result there can be no certainty about when the obesity strategy will be published.
David Cameron had been keen to lead the launch of a policy which was seen by Downing Street as a high profile "domestic legacy" initiative similar to the dementia plan under the coalition.
But with the Prime Minister now only in office for a few more months, everything is up in the air.
He may decide he needs to complete his policy agenda and keep the business of government moving by getting the obesity strategy out. Alternatively, ministers and advisers may feel there is no mandate for such a high- profile announcement before a new PM is in place.
Looking further ahead, the question of funding for the NHS is already being raised. There was a much criticised claim that Brexit would save the UK £350m a week in payments to the EU and allow more funding for the NHS.
This did not take account of about £200m of rebates to the UK. Nigel Farage has already said that claim was a mistake.
Leave campaigners talked of an extra £100m a week being freed up for the NHS but that would depend on the government of the day choosing to spend any money saved on health, rather than other areas of the public sector.
Simon Stevens, the head of NHS England, has made clear that the financial stability of the service depends on the state of the economy.
Growth will generate the higher tax revenues which can fund higher public spending.
But plotting the path of the economy in the run-up to the exit in 2018 is anyone's guess. The prospect of a recession has been raised by the Bank of England. That was dismissed as scaremongering by Leave campaigners.
Nobody is contesting that the NHS needs staff from outside the UK, but how that will be affected by Britain's new status will not be clear for a while.
The prospect of a new immigration policy may or may not at the margin deter foreign doctors, nurses and care workers from working in the UK.
The actions of pharmaceutical companies will also be studied closely.
There have been warnings that Brexit could lead to drug trials in the UK being reduced with investment shifted to other European countries.
Health organisations have expressed concern about the uncertainty which will inevitably persist after the UK electorate's momentous decision.
That uncertainty won't ease any time soon.
Stephen Dalton, chief executive of the NHS Confederation summed up the mood: "The NHS has broadly benefitted from being in the EU and leaving it will undoubtedly have implications which are yet to be clearly understood."

Every man knows that, except, it seems, Donald Trump.
I don't subscribe to the theory that Mr Trump overwhelmingly lost the debate last night.
But he may well have lost it this morning. Mr Trump should sue his campaign for political malpractice. Why on earth was he allowed to go on morning TV and say former beauty pageant winner Alicia Machado had "gained a massive amount of weight. It was a real problem."
That, or, better, he should look in the mirror and have a long hard think about his obsession with the way women look.
No woman likes to be told her own weight is a problem and most women don't really like men telling other women that their weight is a problem either.
Weight is an intensely personal, sensitive and often tricky issue for women and it is something women talk about a lot among themselves, usually with empathy and support.
So we circle the wagons when a man talks disparagingly about a girlfriend's weight. "Miss Piggy" is about as bad as it gets.
I suspect Alicia Machado has a lot of new girlfriends this morning - because we've all been there.
Our own weight fluctuates. In stressful situations (a Miss Universe beauty pageant, for example) most of us tend to gain or lose a bit. It's normal. Having a man criticise us for doing so is not helpful.
If Mr Trump is serious about winning women voters, in the suburb of Philadelphia or the small towns of Ohio he should learn some basic gender etiquette.
Lay off our size.
The Labour leader said at the weekend that he would be "absolutely fine" with a vote being held.
And he said it was "not the job of Labour to stop people holding referenda".
But speaking to the BBC's Today programme on Monday morning, he insisted that a referendum should not be held.
He was speaking as Scotland's first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, prepared to make what has been described as an "important" statement on Brexit.
There has been speculation that Ms Sturgeon will use her speech to outline plans for a second independence referendum - although she would need the consent of both the Scottish and UK parliaments in order to make it legally binding.
Holyrood currently has a narrow pro-independence majority, but Prime Minister Theresa May has so far avoided saying whether or not Westminster would give its permission for a vote to be held.
Mr Corbyn told the Today programme that it would be "wrong" for the UK Parliament to block another vote going ahead if the Scottish Parliament was in favour of it.
He added: "But let's be absolutely clear, I do not think there should be another referendum, I think that independence would be economically catastrophic for many people in Scotland.
"It would lead to a sort of turbo-charged austerity with the levels of income the government has in Scotland and because of the very low oil prices and the high dependency on oil tax income."
Mr Corbyn had been in Glasgow on Saturday to speak at Labour's economy conference when he told the Press Association that he would be "fine" with a second referendum.
His weekend remarks were immediately condemned by senior Scottish Labour figures, with the party's only MP in Scotland, Ian Murray, accusing Mr Corbyn of "destroying the party".
Scottish Labour's economy spokeswoman, Jackie Baillie, said Mr Corbyn's comments had been "misguided and irresponsible".
She added: "They are an insult to the dedicated work of Scottish Labour MSPs, councillors, and thousands of activists who have campaigned against a divisive second referendum."
Ms Sturgeon tweeted that it was "always a pleasure to have Jeremy Corbyn campaigning in Scotland" - accompanied by a laughing emoji.
The A-listed building, which overlooks the capital from Calton Hill, was built by Thomas Hamilton in 1829 but has been largely unused for decades.
Developers planning a £75m "world-class" five star hotel have now submitted an application to City of Edinburgh Council.
The move follows a "comprehensive consultation process".
Architect Gareth Hoskins, who also redesigned the National Museums of Scotland, said two new wings containing the hotel's bedrooms would be set away from the original building.
He said the two new wings would be landscaped to blend with the surrounding hill.
Conservationists had previously complained that the plan to add wings to the building was like giving it "Mickey Mouse" ears.
SNP MSP for Edinburgh Central, Marco Biagi, told BBC Scotland: "The hotel plans for the Old Royal High School have been extremely controversial, and many constituents have expressed concerns.
"These changes are a welcome improvement, but might still struggle to address the fundamental problems with the scheme - especially in terms of public acceptance."
Mr Hoskins said: "We've listened and taken on board views from a wide range of organisations and individuals through the pre-planning process to develop a fundamentally different design for the site.
"The design focuses around an informed restoration of the central Hamilton-designed building, repairing its decaying fabric and maintaining the strong sculptural presence of its frontage without intervention.
"The existing building will be entirely given over to the public areas of the new hotel allowing its spaces to be fully accessible for the first time in the building's history."
The plan to convert Hamilton's neo-classical masterpiece into a hotel is led by Duddingston House Properties (DHP) and Urbanist Hotels.
Hotel brand Rosewood Hotels and Resorts has been selected to manage the Calton Hill property.
The City of Edinburgh Council, which owns the A-listed building, granted DHP a 125-year conditional ground lease after the company won an open competition in 2010.
The Old Royal High School was vacated in 1968 when the school moved to Barnton.
During the 1970s it was proposed as the site to house a devolved Scottish Assembly.
However, the 1979 devolution referendum did not result in an assembly and when the Scottish Parliament was finally set up in 1999 a new site was chosen.
The driver of the small black car did not stop at the scene of the collision which happened at about 19:47 on Tuesday in Springfield Gardens.
The child was taken to Raigmore Hospital.
Police Scotland has appealed for witnesses to the incident.
The victim was found at Laburnum Grove at 13.45 BST on Monday, Lancashire Police said.
Officers believe the deceased is John Houston, 41, from Lancaster, but he has not yet been formally identified.
A 43-year-old man from Lancaster has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is in police custody.
Det Insp Simon Dent said police are "keen to piece together Mr Houston's last movements from Saturday (2 April) onwards".
"If anyone has information that could assist us with our enquiries, particularly those from the Marsh estate who may have seen John in the lead up to his death, I would urge them to come forward and speak to us," he said.
The six-time winner struggled for rhythm and lost 7-6 (10-8) 5-7 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 in four hours and 48 minutes.
It is the first time Djokovic, 29, has lost in the second round of a Grand Slam since 2008 at Wimbledon.
The result leaves world number one Andy Murray as favourite to win his first Australian Open title in Melbourne.
Briton Murray, who has already reached round three, has lost five finals in the past seven years in Melbourne, four of them to Djokovic.

It is only the second time in seven years that Djokovic has lost to a player ranked outside the top 100 - his defeat by Juan Martin del Potro, ranked 145th, at the Rio Olympics in 2016 being the other occasion.
"He deserved to win. No doubt, he was a better player in the clutch moments," said Djokovic.
"Many things came together for him today and he's a well-deserved winner. There's not much I could do."
Djokovic could not find his rhythm, eventually winning his first service game after 15 minutes but going on to lose the first set in one hour and 25 minutes.
He won four consecutive games in the third set as his opponent faltered but Istomin came back in the fourth set to take it to a tie-break.
Both players served aggressively as they received vocal support from the crowd, with Istomin taking the match to a deciding set with a brutal ace.
Istomin, who broke in game five, remained strong on his own serve and wrapped things up when Djokovic, lunging on the backhand, could only block another crunching delivery long on match point.
Uzbek Istomin will next face Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta, who beat Britain's Kyle Edmund on Thursday.
"It is the biggest win of my career and means so much, now I feel I can play with these guys and be with them on the same level," said Istomin.
"From the third set I had cramp in my leg, I don't know how I held it. I was playing so good. I surprised myself."
Istomin had two years out of the game after breaking his leg in a car accident and spending three months in hospital in 2001.
Coached by his mother Klaudiya, he dropped out of the top 100 in 2016 and was given a wildcard to play in the Australian Open.
Prior to his win over Djokovic, Istomin had won just one of 33 matches against a player ranked in the world's top 10.
His best Grand Slam result is reaching the last 16 at Wimbledon in 2012 and the US Open in 2013, where he lost to Murray.
Gavhar Azimova, from the Tennis Federation of Republic of Uzbekistan, said Istomin is a "star" in his home country.
"We are ecstatic," he told BBC Uzbek. They [Denis and his mother] trained very hard. He is a very kind and modest guy, but works very hard.
"The whole Federation watched it live together. You say 'Istomin' and everyone knows him. The phones have not stopped ringing - we have had a barrage of phone calls saying congratulations."
Djokovic has struggled for consistency since winning his first French Open title in June 2016 and completing a career Grand Slam.
He was knocked out in the third round at Wimbledon by American Sam Querrey but looked to have returned to form when he won the Rogers Cup in July.
However, he went on to lose to Del Potro in the first round of the Olympics and was knocked out of the doubles competition the following day.
He struggled physically in the US Open final, losing in four sets to third seed Stan Wawrinka, before he lost the world number one ranking to Murray in November.
Murray also ended his run of four consecutive ATP World Tours Finals titles in the same month.
"Djokovic is not the same Djokovic we saw this time last year, who was at the peak of his career," two-time Australian Open finalist Pat Cash told BBC Radio 5 live.
"It's clearly the mental edge. He's done so much and worked so hard to grab those four Grand Slams, I think he's just lost the edge."

It has also been made into a musical stage show, which has been a huge success - and now, it's coming to the big screen...again!
Walt Disney Studios has confirmed that the film is having a live action remake, a bit like The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast have recently.
So what do we know about the new film?
Lovers of the original songs in the film, like I Just Can't Wait To Be King and Circle of Life, will be pleased to hear that the new film will include songs from the original film.
Donald Glover will play the lead role of Simba, while James Earl Jones - who played Simba's father Mufasa in the original animated film - will play the role again.
The Wrap has recently reported that comedian John Oliver will voice Mufasa's mouthy sidekick Zazu, although Disney has not confirmed this.
Similarly, there have been reports that Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner will voice loveable pals Pumbaa and Timon, but again, we don't know for sure.
There have been rumours that makers of the film want none other than singing superstar Beyonce to play the voice of Simba's best friend in the film Nala.
John Faveau, who directed the recent remake of The Jungle Book, will be directing this new film.
The studios said: "We can officially confirm that The Walt Disney Studios and director Jon Favreau are putting a new reimagining of The Lion King on the fast track to production."
Disney has said that it is currently planned for release in July 2019.
At a time when image was king, they burst onto the scene in glasses and scruffy jackets, belting out acoustic tunes in a broad Scottish accent.
A BBC Scotland documentary is looking back on their remarkable 30-year career. `
This is the story of an enduring Scottish music phenomenon:
Proclaimer Craig Reid says the twins saw Dexy's Midnight Runners in 1980, when they were 18.
He says: "They came on stage and it was not something we were expecting. It was like being hit by a truck. It was breathtaking how good they were and how unusual they were."
The band's charismatic frontman Kevin Rowland became a good friend of the twins.
He says: "They were very political. They were very vocal. You couldn't win an argument with them, because there were two of them."
Kevin Rowland helped The Proclaimers make a demo which found its way to The Housemartins, another popular 80s band famous for being outside the pop orthodoxy.
The Housemartins invited The Proclaimers to tour with them in 1986.
Charlie Reid says: "The first gig was in the Hummingbird in Birmingham.
"It was probably the most scared we have ever been in our lives.
"We had never played to more than 50 people before. That was a big venue. There were probably a couple of thousand people there."
Housemartins singer Paul Heaton, who later formed the Beautiful South, says: "They were brilliant live and the next step was to make record that would convince the public."
Heaton put them in touch with record producer John Williams.
An appearance on Channel Four's hit TV music show The Tube was their breakthrough.
Presenter Paula Yates introduced the boys by saying: "Now it's time for something totally weird and unusual."
Craig and Charlie say she was not wrong.
According to Charlie: "We were always going to be fish out of water in everything we did."
He says: "The Tube was a massive show at the time.
"We went to the football the next day and we were standing on the terracing at Easter Road and people were coming up as we were buying a pie and a coffee and saying ' saw you last night pal'."
In 1987, all the big Scottish bands - Simple Minds, Big Country, Hipsway - were adopting a mid-Atlantic singing style that was definitely not their real accent.
Craig says The Proclaimers had encountered resistance to them singing in their own voices, especially by record companies in London.
He says: "I could not see the point of writing songs about stuff that we knew and had observed and then singing it in a mid-Atlantic accent."
Their first single was Throw the R Away, a song about having to change your accent to achieve success.
It contains the lyric: "I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate/To make sure my words/On your Saxon ears don't grate."
Craig says: "It didn't get much play."
But Charlie says they were not deterred.
"It was a determination to do it our own way and accept the consequences," he says.
The first album - This is the Story - was recorded in London. Producer John Williams says it was kept intimate.
"Charlie and Craig recorded most of their takes in the control room," he says.
But they knew that in order to get radio play for Letter From America it had to have a band behind it.
They chose legendary Scottish musician Gerry Rafferty, famous for Baker Street and Stealers Wheel's Stuck in the Middle with You, to remix it.
It was a big hit and introduced the world to Bathgate, Methil, Irvine and Linwood - all name-checked in the song as places devastated by the Tory government's industrial policy, which the twins compared to the infamous Highland Clearances.
Scottish author Christopher Brookmyre tells the BBC documentary: "Having two guys with acoustic guitars singing a song about the Highland Clearances was not something that was going to shock anybody because that's a familiar subject for folk music.
"Suddenly making it about steel plant closures, making it 'Methil no more', changed everything.
"There is an edge to it. It's immediately relevant and you understand what the song is all about at that point."
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who chose Letter From America in her Desert Island Discs, was about 17 when the song was released.
She says: "It came out at a time when I was getting really involved in politics so it wasn't just that my home town of Irvine was mentioned in it, which was quite a big thing, but it was also that it spoke about something about my country that was also motivating me to get involved in politics.
"That song for me is the anthem of my teenage years."
Craig says the song was written in 1984: "It was basically rage at what was going on.
"Both of us were disgusted by the callous way that unemployment was used to break organised labour, to break the spirit of people."
Their second album Sunshine on Leith was released in 1988, just a year after the first.
It featured their biggest hit I'm Gonna Be (500 miles).
It was an international hit at the time but its success has continued for almost 30 years, providing them with their only No 1 hit when it was re-recorded for Comic Relief with comedian Peter Kay in 2007.
Charlie says: "500 miles is the reason we are able to keep making records. In terms of what it has brought in over the years it pays for new records, it pays for tours, it underpins everything we do."
They have had numerous other hits but they are not on the same scale, he says.
"I don't know what it is. It is indestructible that record."
"We wouldn't get out alive if we played a gig without it."
Craig says he wrote the song in 45 minutes after a gig in Aberdeen.
"One of the quickest songs I've ever written," he says.
"It was just like it was writing itself."
500 miles was The Proclaimers only hit in the US and has appeared in numerous movies including Benny and Joon and Pitch Perfect but some US radio stations took against it.
The lyric of the song contains the Scottish word "haver".
They didn't know what it meant but they assumed it must be subversive.
It actually means to talk rubbish.
"I can't understand why you let someone else rule your land", goes the lyric of Cap in Hand.
The Proclaimers were never equivocal about their support for Scottish independence.
Craig says: "We are absolutely total believers that Scotland should be an independent country.
"I find it difficult when I meet people who have never given it a thought. I can't understand them."
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon says: "Their songs over the past 30 years have in many respects been the soundtrack to Scotland's political journey and I think that has made the politics much more accessible at times to younger generations and brought politics alive.
"Really in very simple terms, in beautifully lyrical terms, telling Scotland's story.
The song Sunshine on Leith was released as a single in 1988 but failed to make the top 40.
The song is a melancholic six-minute epic which the brothers refused to edit and it didn't make it on to radio playlists.
Craig says:" Sunshine on Leith is one of those songs that has got bigger down the years.
"When you play live shows that is probably the one that connects you to the audience, even more than 500 miles."
Stephen Greenhorn, the playwright who created the musical Sunshine on Leith, says: "The writing on it is so pared down it feels like a really intimate song about a specific feeling between two people and yet it's the best football song you'll ever hear.
"10,000 people on the terraces can sing it and everybody is going to be in tears."
Hibernian FC, the club Craig and Charlie have passionately supported for years, have adopted it as their song and the fans belt it out whenever the occasion allows.
Charlie says: "That's when you know you have got something.
"Your own people sing your own song. Nobody is forcing them to do it. They do it because they feel it. It's very moving and it links you more to the club."
The success of the album Sunshine on Leith was eventually followed-up with Hit the Highway in 1994, which included Let's Get Married.
The band then went quiet for seven years before returning with Persevere and then Born Innocent, which was produced by Scottish singer-songwriter Edwyn Collins
Journalist Craig Mclean says it was "two great Scottish institutions coming together".
Edwyn says they immediately had a "bond".
According to Charlie "it was probably the most enjoyable record that we have made over the years".
Edwyn Collins had a recording studio in London "stuffed full of vintage kit", according to Craig McLean.
Collins' partner Grace Maxwell says the "sheer power" of the sound coming from the boys "blew the capsule in the microphone".
"It has always been an ambition of mine," says Craig.
"When you hear Little Richard records the vocals are so high they are distorting the microphones.
"Half of Edwyn's gear was from the 1920s or 30s, I think. It was a lot of old gear so if we broke his kit we'll accept that responsibility."
Doctor Who actor David Tennant, who presents the BBC Scotland programme, chose The Proclaimers song Over and Done With as one of his Desert Island Discs.
He says he has bought all their albums and seen them live countless times.
Tennant even had "Life With You" played as he walked down the aisle at his wedding.
In recent years, there has been new material and a successful stage musical and film based on their back catalogue - Sunshine on Leith.
But touring is what The Proclaimers are about and they are as popular as ever.
At 55 years old, and after more than 30 years, they are no stopping just yet.
Craig says: We enjoy it as much, if not more, than we did."
Proclaimers: This is the story is on BBC Two Scotland on Wednesday 21 June at 21:00 and will be available on the BBC iplayer after broadcast
UK firms Carillion, Costain and Balfour Beatty are among the consortiums who will build tunnels, bridges and embankments on the first stretch of the new high speed rail line.
The contracts will support 16,000 jobs.
The final routes of the Manchester and Leeds branches of HS2 are due to be announced later.
It will include a decision over its path through Sheffield.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: "As well as providing desperately needed new seats and better connecting our major cities, HS2 will help rebalance our economy."
But critics say the £56bn project will damage the environment and is too expensive.
The first trains are not expected to run until 2026.
Mr Grayling told the BBC's Today programme that the high-speed rail network will be "on time, on budget" and the government has "a clear idea of what it will cost".
He disputed a report that emerged over the weekend detailing a study by quantity surveyor Michael Byng who estimated that the cost of HS2 could balloon to more than £100bn, making it the most expensive railway in the world. Mr Grayling described the figure as "nonsense".
Commenting on the decision to spend on infrastructure amid the 1% cap on public sector pay, Mr Grayling said: "That's a very different issue because we are talking about capital investment over the next 15 years. We are not talking about current spending that the chancellor will decide on come the Budget."
The contracts to design and build areas of the high speed rail line have been split into three groups: south, central and north.
Carillion, which last week issued a profit warning and announced the immediate departure of its chief executive, has won two "lots" within the central area. Its share price rose by 7.7% to 60.5p on Monday but it has fallen by more than 76% over the last 12 months.
This includes one of the most controversial and complex areas of the route that runs between the Chiltern tunnels and Brackley.
Carillion, which is part of a consortium with three other companies to design and build the two lots, announced on Monday that it had appointed accountancy firm EY to support a strategic review of the business.
The decision over its route through the North of England has been delayed for several years due to a series of disagreements, the most controversial of which has been which route it should take through Sheffield.
The government's preferred plan for the route through Yorkshire would mean bulldozing the newly built Shimmer estate in Mexborough.
The government says HS2 is "on time" but they're clearly not talking about the route for the second phase, which was first promised in around 2014.
I remember flying a drone over a farm in Cheshire four years ago, filming the proposed route at the time.
The farmer has been waiting ever since then to find out if he'll lose his business.
He got in touch with me last year saying, "obviously we know nothing more today than we did when you were with us nearly 30 months ago, as the decision for HS2 Phase 2b has been put off yet again".
Anyone affected by the line now gets a year or two to put their case together and present it to a special committee of MPs who'll go through thousands of fears and objections before recommending any changes to the final route or the way it's designed.
When you talk to people adversely affected by HS2 they all say the same thing. Their lives go into limbo, often for years, just waiting for answers.
Parliament granted powers to build the first phase of the line between London and Birmingham in February.
Preparatory work has begun and major construction work is due to start in 2018-19. It is due to open in December 2026.
A Bill to deliver Phase 2a from the West Midlands to Crewe will be published by Mr Grayling later on Monday. Services on this section are due to begin in 2027.
Phase 2b from Crewe to Manchester, and Birmingham to the East Midlands and Leeds, is due to open in 2033.
The companies who have won the contracts to design and build the first phase of HS2 are:
Area South
Area Central
Area North
Billy Midmore, 22, is accused of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to 37-year-old Carla Whitlock.
But proceedings at Southampton Crown Court were halted on Thursday because he refused to leave prison as "his laundry had not been done".
Jail staff had not been available to wash them, a court heard.
The trial was able to resume on Friday.
A spokesman for the court said: "He refused to leave prison because his laundry had not been done."
Miss Whitlock was blinded in one eye and suffered scarring to her face after she was attacked with a drain cleaner containing concentrated sulphuric acid in Southampton city centre on 18 September.
The court has heard she was targeted in revenge after a drug deal went wrong.
Midmore denies causing grievous bodily harm, while his brother, Geoffrey Midmore, 26, has previously pleaded guilty to the same charge.
There were once hundreds of coal mines in Germany's Ruhr valley. Zollverein's vast steel and brick coal processing facilities have been preserved as a reminder of that sooty, grimy past.
Tour guide Frank Switala is passionate about this place. His grandfather worked underground here for more than 40 years and, at its height, the mine employed some 8,000 people.
"It produced 12,000 tonnes of ready-to-sell coal every day," he explains.
But by the time Frank was ready to begin work, in the 1980s, the mine and many others in the area had closed down and jobs and opportunities were scarce.
The legacy of that decline has left Essen divided.
The south of the city has swapped industry for glass and steel office blocks and conference centres. The north remains poorer, unemployment is higher and rents are lower, making its traditional working class neighbourhoods a magnet for migrants and refugees.
The government-funded BFZ vocational training centre in Essen was set up in response to the closure of the mines.
Today refugees are among those who attend classes teaching everything from German language to catering and car mechanics.
Kassam, a 29-year-old from Syria, is learning German at the centre. He was among the hundreds of thousands of people who arrived in Germany last summer and he is grateful for the support he is receiving and conscious of the challenges.
"When I came to Germany, I just wanted to live in peace," he says.
"We need a long time to connect with German people, we have another culture. I'm an engineer. I hope to find a job here. Our problem is with German language - it's very difficult to learn this language."
Essen has a problem too. The city has received 16,000 refugees, double the number it was officially allocated by the German government, which had tried to distribute the new arrivals across the country. Last year, simply housing and health care for the refugees cost the city 130m euros.
Silke Lens is spokesperson for Essen's mayor, who is from Chancellor Merkel's right of centre CDU party.
She says only half the actual costs have been paid by the national government. And now, the authorities are limiting the number of refugees who can stay in the city.
"The government in Berlin has set up a new integration law. With this, we have a new residency restriction;" she tells me.
"If refugees come from other communities and they have no job, they have to move back to the city [they were originally] assigned."
There is a long-established Arab community in north Essen and Ahmed Mehdi from the Syrian German Association says they have helped around 500 of the newest arrivals.
He objects to the relocation law, arguing that it is cruel to force people, especially refugees, to live in particular places.
"They have backgrounds of trauma, especially from the conflict in Syria, they seek security and a safe place and the law's doing the total opposite...making them travel around the country again."
German compassion has been tested by the refugee crisis. The costs and public fears about integration and security, have left politicians with little choice but to take a harder line.
There is also a growing political factor. The far right, anti-immigrant, anti-Islam, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has been winning votes in regional elections across Germany.
Stefan Keuter leads the party in Essen. He rejects the idea that most of the people who have come to Germany are refugees, he simply calls them migrants.
The party taps into voters' fears about the refugees and the impact of Islam on Germany.
"Angela Merkel and parties like the CDU, didn't ask the population if they are willing to make these changes and they didn't ask people if they want to help or to change (what it's like) to live in Germany," Mr Keuter tells me.
Germans will not say what they really think because of their history, he argues.
"If you talk about these problems, people probably describe you as a Nazi - but this is not true.
"We have a very big problem with political correctness in Germany. There's a big difference between national pride and nationalism and I think it's very important that you have a cultural identity and that you feel hope in a country, this has nothing to do with nationalism."
Until now, Germany's history has made any dalliance with nationalism a toxic political idea. But that may be changing.
In a city like Essen, which has experienced industrial decline, the AfD hopes to win votes from the left and right. It has already persuaded one local politician to change parties.
The real test will come next year, with elections for Germany's parliament.
Fear of globalisation and immigration has galvanised voters in America and in European countries to switch political allegiance.
Will Germany, ever mindful of its past, be immune from the allure of the populists?
The leader told activists in Salford that members "want to see a different world and do things very differently".
He also condemned abuse among members, saying "it has no place in our party".
It comes as more than 40 female Labour MPs have written to Mr Corbyn saying he has failed to do enough to prevent "disgusting" threats against members.
Mr Corbyn said: "We are a social movement and we will only win the next general election because we are that movement of people all around the country who want to see a different world and do things very differently."
He added that "some people say that isn't how politics is done, and that it is solely what happens in parliament that is important", but he insisted "changes come because people want those changes to come and Parliament has to be influenced in the way those changes come about".
Meanwhile, leadership rival Owen Smith has promised key party roles to women.
The Pontypridd MP vowed to act on gender inequality - promising two of his four most senior cabinet roles would go to women if he became prime minister.
Mr Smith said his wife, Liz, had been a victim of online abuse and claimed there was now a level of abuse, anti-semitism and misogyny in Labour that was not there before Mr Corbyn became leader.
"My wife stood recently for a community councillor position in the village where we live in South Wales and was subject to a torrent of online abuse. It's a community council position."
He added: "I think it's just absolutely unacceptable."
A group of female MPs - including former shadow ministers Heidi Alexander, Paula Sherriff and Kerry McCarthy - have written to Mr Corbyn saying intimidation was being carried out "in your name".
"Rape threats, death threats, smashed cars and bricks through windows are disgusting and totally unacceptable in any situation," the letter said.
But Mr Corbyn said: "I don't do personal abuse, I don't respond to personal abuse, I condemn any abuse from others. It has no place in our party."
He added: "I know some people are angry at the actions of some MPs but where we have disagreement in the Labour Party we settle it through democratic means - not coups, not intimidation, and not abuse."
Simultaneous launch events were due to take place in cities across the country, including Hull, Newcastle, Cambridge, Bristol, Nottingham, Stoke, London and Cardiff.
On Friday, Unite trade union leader Len McCluskey suggested in an interview with the Guardian that the security services could be behind the abuse and intimidation of MPs on social media.
Mr McCluskey said MI5 could be using "dark practices" to "stir up trouble" for Mr Corbyn, arguing that spies had infiltrated trade unions in the past, and that the truth about it had been suppressed for 30 years under the rule on keeping classified documents out of the public domain.
Mr Smith distanced himself from the suggestion, saying at a campaign rally in Manchester: "I'm not sure that's entirely right."
Mr Corbyn is facing a challenge from former shadow work and pensions secretary Mr Smith, after Labour MPs overwhelmingly backed a motion of no-confidence in their leader.
The winner of the leadership contest will be announced on 24 September.
A mix of council and private properties in Denbigh are set to receive upgrades at Smithfield Road, Lon Llewelyn, Myddleton Avenue and Maes Glas Avenue.
Councillor Barbara Smith, lead member for housing, said the work normally costs Denbighshire council up to £10,000 but the grant had reduced its contribution to less than £3,000.
In a Daily Mail review of the new Robert Peston show on ITV, Letts described Marr as "Captain-Hop-Along, growling away on BBC One, throwing his arm about like a tipsy conductor".
Marr had a stroke in January 2013.
Letts tweeted his apology after an article from media commentator Roy Greenslade appeared in the Guardian.
Greenslade said in his article, called It isn't Funny or Smart for Quentin Letts to Poke Fun at Andrew Marr: "I don't want to come off all namby-pamby.
"I understand that no-one should be beyond criticism and that Letts was exercising his right to press freedom.
"But really Quentin, that was a graceless remark."
He then called for Letts to apologise.
Letts admitted his comments about "the admirable Marr" were "horrid". His tweet of apology was met with comments below it, calling him "utterly disgraceful" and "appalling".
The Daily Mail article appeared in both the print copy of the newspaper and its online version.
Marr's wife, journalist Jackie Ashley, tweeted about Letts' article, criticising the message it sent out to disabled people.
The Stroke Association said: "A stroke is not a joke. Stroke survivors deserve our respect and support, and Andrew Marr deserves an apology", before encouraging people make complaints to the Independent Press Standards Organisation.
In a statement to the BBC, the Independent Press Standards Organisation said: "we have received a total of 11 complaints about the article.
"All of the complaints are under Clause 12 (Discrimination), with one or two also citing Clause 1 (Accuracy) or Clause 4 (Intrusion into grief or shock).
"It is IPSO policy not to comment on the identity of individual complainants, so I am unable to confirm the names of anyone who has contacted us on this article."
Robert Peston's new ITV Sunday politics talk show had received lukewarm reviews following its debut this weekend.
Letts reviewed Peston's programme as "breathless and batty - and bound to be a hit".
In a voicemail obtained by the US TV network ABC, Bland said she could not understand why a traffic violation had led to her detention.
The 28-year-old African-American was arrested after a confrontation with the policeman who had pulled her car over.
She was found dead three days later.
In the message to a friend she said: "I'm still just at a loss for words, honestly, about this whole process. How did switching lanes with no signal turn into all of this?"
Her family have rejected the findings of a coroner's report, which says Ms Bland hanged herself in her cell at Waller County jail.
The voice message lasted for about 22 seconds and was made after an initial court appearance following her arrest on 10 July, ABC reports.
It was one of three calls made by Bland that day. The others were to her sister and a bail bondsman.
On Wednesday it emerged Bland had told a guard during the booking process that she had previously attempted suicide.
Sheriff Glenn Smith said the comments were made after she was asked a series of questions that are posed to every person who is detained at the jail.
Documents for Bland were inconsistent in citing when or if she had attempted suicide in the past. One questionnaire said she took pills in 2015 to try to kill herself after having a miscarriage. Another document said she attempted suicide in 2014. One form said she had not had suicidal thoughts in the past year and one said she did.
Her medical history was also inconsistent on intake forms, with some saying she was on medication for epilepsy and another saying she was not taking any medication.
Mr Smith said another guard had also spoken to Bland. She told him she was upset but not depressed and both jailers insisted she appeared fine at the time.
State senator Royce West said the kind of information on Bland's forms should have prompted guards to put her on suicide watch and check on her more often.
Full toxicology reports are pending, but Waller County District Attorney Elton Mathis told CNN that an initial report from the medical examiner's office showed that Bland had marijuana in her system.
He also said he had been told it was the "opinion of the medical examiner" that she had what looked like "cutting scars on the arm".
State officials and the FBI are investigating her death.
A video of the arrest shows white police officer Brian Encinia giving Bland a warning. The situation quickly escalates, with Mr Encinia appearing to threaten Bland after she refuses to get out of her car.
He unsuccessfully tries to pull her out and tells her "I will light you up".
Cannon Lambert, the lawyer representing Bland's family, said relatives have "no evidence" that she previously attempted suicide and denied she was suffering from depression.
He also said the dashcam video of the arrest, which was released by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), showed that Bland's death "could have easily been avoided".
Officer Encinia, who has been on the force for just over a year, said he was kicked during the arrest. He has been put on administrative leave.
Bland's death is one of several cases under scrutiny in the US, in which a black person has died while in police custody.
The equalities committee said it was key to the success of the assembly's "ground-breaking" law on violence and domestic abuse.
Chairman John Griffiths said it should be taught "at an age before unhealthy attitudes towards sex and relationships have developed".
The Welsh Government said it would respond to the report "in due course".
"The Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Act is recognised internationally as a ground-breaking law," Mr Griffiths said.
"It has the potential to bring about real improvements in the protection and support for survivors.
"However, we question whether the Act in itself is enough to bring about the societal change that we believe is necessary to prevent abuse.
"We see healthy relationship education as crucial to address this issue and we believe that it should be taught in all schools and at an age before unhealthy attitudes towards sex and relationships have developed."
Charities supporting victims of domestic violence and abuse should also have enough funding to cope with any increase in demand as a result of the law, the committee said.
It also called for a good practice guide developed for schools by Welsh Women's Aid to be made more widely available.
Des Mannion, head of the children's charity NSPCC Cymru, said: "Healthy relationship education is a vital part of equipping children with the skills they need to stay safe and speak out, and we have long called for lessons to be made compulsory.
"The current situation in schools remains patchy and we welcome the committee's call to address that issue and ensure a Wales-wide approach."
A Welsh Government spokesperson said: "We thank the committee for its report and will respond to it in due course.
"Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) is already part of the curriculum in Wales.
"We expect young people in Wales to receive age appropriate sex and relationships education.
"Healthy, responsible relationships and appropriate sexual behaviour is an important part of the Personal and Social Education framework for seven to 19-year-olds in Wales."
Bangor University midwifery students were pulled out of the Bodelwyddan hospital in 2015 over concerns about some clinicians' behaviour.
First year students will now return to the unit, following the reintroduction of third and second year placements.
Betsi Cadwaladr health board said there would be "dedicated support" for staff and students.
In a joint statement, the health board and university said the success of the placements would be "constantly evaluated" and the decision would be reviewed in January.
All midwifery students were temporarily withdrawn from Glan Clwyd by the university two years ago, citing an "unsuitable practice learning environment due to the unprofessional behaviours and attitudes of some clinicians".
It followed a review by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) which raised serious concerns about the education and supervision of trainees.
The statement said the health board and university had decided "the phased approach for student reintroduction should now be completed" following a re-evaluation last month.
"This will be accompanied by a further programme of dedicated support for both students and service staff, together with ongoing evaluation of the placement learning environment," it said.
Third year students were reintroduced to the unit following a review in February 2016 while second students returned in February this year.
The Royal College of Midwives said it had no major concerns about the service.
But with Microsoft having had to play catch up to the rise of smartphones and tablets, some critics have called for Mr Ballmer to resign and let somebody else take the company forward.
A lacklustre reaction to its latest operating system Windows 8, which was much-hyped but failed to impress, has also turned the spotlight on the chief.
Former Microsoft executive Joachim Kempin believes Mr Ballmer, who has been in the top job since 2000, should either leave the group altogether or at least move to a different role.
He told the BBC that Mr Ballmer's assertion that Microsoft is now a device and service company is "baloney", and that Microsoft is and always has been a software company.
Mr Kempin worked for Microsoft from 1983 to 2002, and by the end of that time was in charge of selling Windows and Office to PC manufacturers.
"When I look at the situation today it is obvious Microsoft is abandoning these people [PC makers]," he says. "Microsoft are going into surface tablets. These tablets are OK products, but nothing really distinguishes them either."
By making this move, the company has alienated some of its manufacturing partners, he says, pointing to the likes of Hewlett-Packard and Samsung now producing Android tablets, not Windows tablets.
He says the company has also missed a trick with its Office software suite, by not putting it on Android devices and a smaller version on iPhones and Android phones. Instead Mr Kempin says they are protecting the Windows franchise, which is "totally wrong".
And the buck stops with the chief executive, he says. "Mr Ballmer is a great COO (chief operating officer) but he doesn't have that vision. A CEO needs to look at the total market."
He added that Mr Ballmer's style of management was very "prescriptive" and that the company had lost much of its entrepreneurial spirit.
Microsoft pointed to its strong financial performance since Mr Ballmer became chief executive.
Revenues have nearly tripled from $25.3bn (£16.6bn) in 2001 to $74.3bn in 2012, and operating income has risen from $11.7bn to $25.3bn.
It also said that over the past decade, Mr Ballmer had returned more than $180bn to shareholders via dividends and stock buybacks, more than than any US company besides Exxon, and the $63bn cash it has on its balance sheet is second only to Apple in the US.
However, Microsoft's share price has been pretty stagnant over the past decade, generally trading between $20 and $30. By comparison, Apple's has soared from around $9 to about $700 in September 2012, though it has since fallen back to about $400.
It should be pointed out that Mr Kempin only worked under Mr Ballmer's leadership for a year or two, more than a decade ago, and that he left the company under somewhat of a cloud after deals he signed with PC makers were used as ammunition by the US government's anti-competition investigators.
He has now written a book called Resolve and Fortitude: Microsoft's "Secret Power Broker", which details his 20 years at Microsoft.
He may well have an axe to grind as well as a book to sell, but he is not the first person to call for Mr Ballmer to be replaced.
In May 2011 David Einhorn, president of the hedge fund Greenlight Capital - an institutional investor in Microsoft - said Mr Ballmer should step down as chief executive after IBM and Apple had surpassed Microsoft in terms of market value.
It was time to "give someone else a chance", Mr Einhorn said, though Greenlight has since increased its holding in Microsoft to a $289bn stake suggesting it still has faith in the stock, whatever Mr Einhorn's feelings on Mr Ballmer.
And at Microsoft's last shareholder meeting in the autumn, Mr Ballmer received approval from over 96% of investors.
While Microsoft's revenues rose in the most recent quarter, 75% of its overall revenues comes from elements that are not pinned to the operating system.
However, there is no getting away from the fact that Windows 8, which launched at the end of October, has not impressed the market. Revenues from Windows in the January-to-March quarter were flat when adjusted for upgrade offers.
Last week, research firm IDC said global PC sales fell 14% in the first three months of the year, adding that not only had Windows 8 not provided a positive boost to the PC market, but appeared to have slowed the market.
"Windows 8 was not able to overcome the sexiness of new tablets and new phones," Patrick Moorhead, technology analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, told the BBC.
"Microsoft took some gambles which didn't end up working out for them - [like] the pervasiveness of touch. All their advertising was about touch, touch, touch.
"Windows 8 was underwhelming as it was received by the market."
Microsoft's chief financial officer (CFO) Peter Klein, whom it has just been announced will leave the company at the end of June, has previously defended the transition to the new operating system.
"It's early days and an ambitious endeavour like this takes time," he said in January. "Together with our partners, we remain focused on fully delivering the promise of Windows 8."
Colin Gillis, technology analyst at BGC Partners, believes Mr Ballmer has had a lot of successes that aren't always credited to him.
"Kinect at the time was the fastest-selling consumer electronics device in history, XBox was also fast selling," he says. "And that was a very competitive marketplace.
"He's built up a multi-billion-dollar enterprise business, but the flipside is the computing landscape has shifted and Microsoft has not shifted well with it - this is the rise of smartphones and tablets.
"A lot of it is down to the leadership. It's fair to critique him in that area. But if you're going to penalise him in the areas where he's late to market you also need to give him credit for areas where he was successful."
Mr Moorhead agrees, saying that financially Microsoft is doing well through acquisitions and growth in their enterprise businesses.
"I think the bad opinions of Microsoft are harsher than the reality. [But] Microsoft and Ballmer are going to be measured in the eye of the public by how well did they do in phones and how does their trajectory looks in tablets, which right now is nowhere."
In a recent interview, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates was asked if he was happy with the performance of the firm under Mr Ballmer's rule.
He replied: "There are a lot of amazing things that Steve's leadership got done at the company over the last year - Windows 8 is key to the future, the surface computer, Bing, people are seeing as a better search product, the XBox.
"But is it enough? No. He and I are not satisfied, in terms of breakthrough things, that we're doing everything possible."
So should Mr Ballmer remain in charge? While Mr Kempin firmly believes he should hand over the reins, Mr Moorhead says there is no imminent need.
However, he adds: "I think if you see multiple quarters of PC declines I don't see that Ballmer would be able to stay in power."
But it would be hard to pick a replacement, he says, given that so many top people have left the company.
CFO Peter Klein's departure follows that of Steven Sinofsky, the head of Microsoft's Windows division.
Mr Sinofksy could have been in line had Windows 8 been a success, but he left the group just a week after the Windows 8 launch, amid talk of an internal "war" between himself and Mr Ballmer.
If and when the time comes though, Mr Moorhead believes the company could bring in somebody from the outside.
"I think that it would be a good thing for Microsoft in that it would bring some new ideas, a new type of fire."
Jordan Dunn, 16, is alleged to have attacked the women in separate incidents at a BMX track and in the grounds of a water treatment plant in the city in August and October.
Dunn, from Dundee, appeared in private at Dundee Sheriff Court charged with two counts of rape.
He made no plea or declaration. He was fully committed for trial, and was remanded in custody.
Dunn is charged with raping a woman at a BMX track north of a footpath along the Dighty Water, near Balunie Drive, between 3 and 10 August.
He is also charged with raping a second woman at the grounds of Clatto Water Treatment Works on Dalmahoy Drive on 14 October.
But, long before she set about that work as an elected politician, Mrs Cox had built a successful career in the charity sector fighting human suffering.
Eight years working for Oxfam - where she met her husband - enabled her to show inspiring leadership and political intelligence, despite her remarkably young age, her former colleagues recall.
Mrs Cox's charity work took her around the world to tackle issues such as poverty and maternal mortality - issues she previously helped put on the European Parliament, as a researcher for Glenys (now Baroness) Kinnock, who was then an MEP.
It was around this time, in 1997, when Ed Cairns, Oxfam's senior policy advisor, first met Mrs Cox - quickly coming to regard her as a "key contact" for the charity.
"She was about the greatest person I ever met at combining a humanitarian passion with political nous," he said.
"It is very rare to have someone with as much political intelligence as Jo had to actually show how you can achieve things in the real world."
Together, they worked to convince the EU to establish a new code of conduct in the arms trade, which was successfully adopted in 1998, he said.
In 2001, she started working for Oxfam and quickly became head of the charity's Brussels office, where Mr Cairns said she dealt with "one humanitarian crisis after another".
Talking to the Huffington Post last year, Mrs Cox herself said: "I would jump on a plane and be in Kabul one week and then Darfur the next."
Oxfam's Max Lawson described her campaigning to end the conflict in Darfur as "particularly brilliant" and added: "She was as a ball of energy, always smiling, full of new ideas, of idealism, of passion."
Together with Amnesty International, Mrs Cox also pushed for a global arms trade treaty, which was eventually adopted in 2014 after a decades-long campaign.
At the 2005 World Summit, she had successfully argued for the international community to agree a "responsibility to protect" and intervene when governments fail to stop crimes against their citizens.
Mr Cairns said no matter how many setbacks the charity encountered, Mrs Cox would always stay positive.
He said: "She was always the first to get over the dejection of a setback, and in about half a second she would say 'right, we are going to do something else'.
"She was completely committed to achieving something tangible rather than just saying the right things."
Mrs Cox herself told the BBC: "I've been in some horrific situations - where women have been raped repeatedly in Darfur, I've been with child soldiers who have been given a Kalashnikov and kill members of their own family in Uganda.
"That's the thing that all of that experience gave me - if you ignore a problem, it gets worse."
In 2007, she moved to Oxfam's New York office and became head of humanitarian campaigning around the world until 2009.
Mr Cairns said she was instrumental in the publication of a "landmark book" called For a Safer Tomorrow, which analysed how the world's humanitarian policies were changing.
"She was remarkably young for such a senior position," Mr Cairns said.
"But she had a brilliant touch with everybody that she managed, she really encouraged people and was a great, motivating people manager.
"I remember she quite often used the word 'heroic' to describe people's efforts at work, which is ironic really because she has been the real hero in all this."
Mrs Cox left Oxfam in 2009 and became the director of ex-Prime Minister Gordon Brown's wife Sarah's Maternal Mortality Campaign, which campaigns for women's right in the developing world.
And even when she moved into politics, she continued to work as a strategy consultant for Save the Children and then the NSPCC. | Environment Secretary Owen Paterson has acknowledged that ash dieback is in the UK to stay.

The 32-year-old was driving the Vauxhall Astra when the collision took place near Dundonald at about 17:40 on Saturday.
His passengers - two men aged 24 and 25 - were seriously injured and remain in Crosshouse Hospital.
Police officers investigating the crash have appealed for anyone who saw it to make contact with them.
Down led 0-2 to 0-0 and 0-5 to 0-2 but Monaghan hit seven of the next eight scores to lead 0-9 to 0-6 at half-time.
Monaghan looked set for a comfortable win as they moved five ahead but Down fought back in the final quarter.
Seven minutes of injury-time gave Down chances to at least get on terms but errant shooting cost the Mournemen.
Down's performance at Clones was a big improvement on last week's opening 3-15 to 0-7 thumping by Donegal but a second defeat leaves Eamonn Burns' side facing the relegation battle that most pundits predicted.

The Mournemen hit the opening two scores with Connaire Harrison and Darragh O'Hanlon on target and while points from Dermot Malone and Shane Carey helped Monaghan level, three more Harrison points put Down 0-5 to 0-2 ahead by the 15th minute.
However, Down then lost their way as Monaghan began to run through the Mourne defence with a number of poor kick-outs by keeper Stephen Kane not helping the visitors' cause.
Kane was lucky not to concede a goal in the 22nd minute as he lost possession after soloing some 35 yards from his goal with Conor McManus' lobbed effort towards the empty net bouncing over the crossbar for a point.
That point levelled the contest and further scores from Thomas Kerr, the lively Malone, Owen Duffy and Fintan Kelly helped the Farney men lead 0-9 to 0-6 the break.
Down were robbed of playmaker Mark Poland as he took a heavy hit straight after the restart and Monaghan looked in control when Shane Carey and Ryan McAnespie pointed to increase their lead to five.
The lead was still five (0-12 to 0-7) in the 53st minute but after Kane made a great save to deny a Darren Hughes goal chance, Down fought back in the closing stages to leave the home side hanging on.
Down may look back on their ninth point with regret as substitute Packie Downey's goal attempt skimmed over the crossbar after Drew Wylie had lost possession.
Daniel McKenna's 64th-minute point appeared to have given Monaghan some breathing space but the seven minutes of injury time gave Down enough opportunities to take something out of the game.
Points from Downey and Harrison left the scoreline at 0-13 to 0-11 with five minutes left but Harrison's free-kick miss from 21 metres two minutes later sealed Down's fate.

Iram Shahzad, 32, admitted two charges at St Albans Crown Court after Spencer Bell was killed as he tried to help a man who had fallen from a bridge.
Mr Bell, 71, died instantly when he was struck by Shahzad's car, in January last year.
Shahzad was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment, suspended for two years.
The court heard the mother of three had sped up to the scene of the tragedy and then tried to get round the slowing cars.
Travelling at speeds of between 82 and 88mph with two of her young children in the back of the car, she realised at the last moment the way ahead was blocked by two stationary vehicles.
But instead of stopping like the other drivers, Shahzad thought she could beat the hold up by swerving back into lane two.
Her car then hit Mr Bell, an ex-policeman and charity worker, who had gone to the aid of Alan Trethewey, 67.
Mr Bell died instantly, the court heard.
On Friday, judge Martin Griffith told her: "This case is a tragic case for the family and friends of Spencer Bell."
He said the term Good Samaritan was frequently over-used but in Mr Bell's case it was a fitting description.
"Nothing I can say or do can fill the void left by this splendid man's untimely death," he told her.
He disqualified her from driving for 18 months.
Mr Bell's wife Wendy told the court: "My life has ended. Once it was full of laughter and giggles, chatting all day long and happiness. Now it is misery, sadness and tears."
Sebastian Gardiner, defending, said his client was truly remorseful and her driving that morning had been out of character.
The deal would see David Blitzer and Josh Harris, who co-own NHL and NBA franchises, take minority stakes in Palace.
Co-chairman Steve Parish said he was "really hopeful we can get it done".
Improvements to the club's Selhurst Park home will be the priority, with Parish retaining day-to-day control.
Blitzer and Harris, who co-own the New Jersey Devils of the NHL and the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers, are expected to take equal 18% shareholdings with Parish, who helped rescue the south London club from bankruptcy in 2010.
His partners in that deal - fellow Palace fans Stephen Browett, Jeremy Hosking and Martin Long - will see their current 25% stakes diluted to 15.33%.
Speaking to BBC Sport in New York, Parish said: "I think this club can be massive and it's a great opportunity.
"I want to move fast and to do that you need big funds. I'm prepared to do my bit, the three boys who are involved with me are prepared to do their bit.
"But we need to bring some new people in to accelerate it and make sure we've got everything we need. If I was a Palace fan, and I am, I'd be fantastically excited about the future."
Parish, who made his money in advertising, was speaking at Blazercon, a two-day football convention set up by Roger Bennett and Michael Davies, the two British ex-pats behind the hugely popular Men in Blazers football podcast and NBC TV show.
Conversations with Blitzer and billionaire Harris, who have made their fortunes from investment banking, have been going on for over a year, and the two have spent what Parish described as "a lot of time" getting to know the club.
Harris has often spoken of his growing interest in football, particularly the Premier League, which is booming in popularity in North America.
Parish said the new investment would enable the club to tackle a chronic lack of investment in Palace's facilities over the last 25 years, without "diverting funds from the team".
Most pressing for Parish is the need to redevelop the Main Stand at Selhurst Park, but he also wants to improve the Arthur Wait Stand and the Whitehorse Lane End, as well as upgrade the club's training ground and scouting network. There are long-term plans to build a hotel and shops at Selhurst Park.
The cost of the building work on the ground alone ranges from a reported £50m to £150m.
But having rescued the club from years of mismanagement, gained promotion to the Premier League and consolidated its position, Parish is determined to take advantage of Palace's status as south London's only top-flight club.
"If this deal doesn't happen the team will be fine," said Parish, who attended a 76ers game with Harris on Monday.
"But I really want to see the club fulfil the potential it should have fulfilled. We've had our share of bad luck: it's time we put the record straight."
Part of the strategy will be to further exploit the burgeoning US market.
"The world began here in football three years ago, so to everybody here we're just a Premier League club - we've managed to erase the rest of our history," Parish joked.
"There is a real buzz about soccer, football, in the US and we need to capitalise on it. So we'll be back and forth here as much as we can trying to grab our fair share of support."

Martin went to the Belgium capital, Brussels, which is home to the European Union headquarters.
Watch his report about the day Article 50 was triggered.
The servicemen, all from Bridlington, died fighting in the Second Battle of Ypres on 25 April 1915.
Members of the local Royal British Legion branch and armed forces veterans joined residents and family members at the town's war memorial earlier.
Local historian Chris Bonnett said it was important to remember the town's fallen men.
He said: "The impact it had on the town and the families, what with so many people being killed, was colossal.
"There were several other Bridlington boys seriously wounded that day, so it was the worst day of both world wars for Bridlington in terms of loss of life."
Mile Wilson lost his grandfather Jack in the Battle of St Julien.
He said: "I'm delighted that these people are here today because for 99 years, no-one cared about this day.
"[I suggested] we commemorate these men and this assembly is here, it's fantastic."
Two paramedics were also injured when the vehicle burst into flames at Naas General Hospital.
Health Service Executive chief executive Tony O'Brien has confirmed the death was as a direct result of the fire.
Mr O'Brien said one possible cause being examined relates to the oxygen tanks on the vehicle.
A notice has been issued to all other ambulance crews around the country as a result.
The fire broke out outside the hospital's emergency department about 14:00 local time and the hospital was evacuated.
The victim, who is in his 70s, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Gardaà (Irish police) in Naas and the Health and Safety Executive are investigating.
Patients have been transferred to other hospitals in the area.
The area has been cordoned off for a technical examination and members of the public have been asked to stay away from the hospital.
Emergency services went to Three Cliffs Bay, near Swansea, after the alarm was raised at 14:10 BST on Saturday.
The man was taken to Swansea's Morriston Hospital, where he later died.
Two more people were taken to hospital but their injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
South Wales Police have asked anyone with information about the incident to get in contact via the 101 phone line.
From the preliminary presidential election results posted online, it appears that President Uhuru Kenyatta has won a convincing victory.
But opposition leader Raila Odinga has cried foul, and presented documents he says are evidence the election was "a fraud".
While the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) rushes to verify the results, supporters on both sides are stuck in an odd limbo.
The streets of Nairobi are quiet, but the alleyways of Mathare slum clatter with the sound of police and protesters exchanging tear gas and stones.
The biggest slums are mostly opposition strongholds where protests often turn violent, and are usually dealt with harshly by police.
But Kenya doesn't need to turn to violence.
If allegations of cheating are properly investigated, and if the election results are openly and accurately verified, many people could be satisfied.
If the opposition contests the results, which it has always seemed determined to do, it can do so through the court - or it can go to the streets.
If the provisional results stand, Mr Kenyatta's winning margin of nearly 1.5 million votes should be large enough to be convincing.
This is an imperfect system - the voters' register was neither accurate nor complete, and some irregularities have been found - but not enough to account for 1.5 million votes.
The opposition is relying on a huge conspiracy to explain its margin of defeat.
So just how viable are the claims that the IEBC computer system was hacked? What's the evidence? How can it be proven or disproven?
In an early morning press conference at a Nairobi nightclub, Mr Odinga, flanked by his National Super Alliance (Nasa) partners, made weighty allegations.
"Hackers gained entry into our election database through the identity of Chris Msando who was executed barely a week ago," Mr Odinga read hesitatingly from a prepared statement.
Chris Msando was the acting head of technology at the IEBC and had appeared on TV reassuring the public his system was secure.
He was tortured and strangled. There's been no police update as yet on their investigation.
Mr Odinga went on to say an algorithm had been introduced to distort the results and that changes were made to "easily manipulate the database".
More than 50 pages of computer logs were printed out and provided to journalists as evidence of the plot.
Technical experts have different views on its veracity. Some say it's nonsense, others that it could be plausible.
Mr Odinga refused to reveal his source for the computer data, which is perhaps not surprising.
It may or may not be true - after the electoral commission's head of IT was killed, anything could be possible - but there is a way to double-check.
The preliminary results texted straight from the polling stations and posted directly online can be cross-referenced against documents known as 34A and 34B.
These are the pieces of paper stamped and signed by the agents at the polling station and constituency-level respectively.
If the numbers match, the election can be declared largely free and fair.
Kenyatta: The digital president
Odinga: Love him or loathe him

Full election coverage
So the IEBC is now checking and uploading around 45,000 documents for everyone to see.
It's not easy negotiating the IEBC system to cross-check, but some early work by the Kenyan Human Rights Commission found a number of inconsistencies - just a few votes here and there, which could all add up - but probably not to 1.5 million.
Those with an intricate knowledge of Kenyan constituency voting patterns believe NASA did not win over enough potential swing-voters for victory.
The international observers will report in back-to-back press conferences on Thursday, a final result is still some time away, and this odd limbo rumbles on.
Only when the matatus are back on the streets of Nairobi in their usual chaotic numbers, and people start heading back to work, will the tension be lifted.
Until then Kenya waits: To see what happens in places like Mathare, and how the security forces react, to see what the opposition urges its supporters to do, and to hope that violence can be avoided.

Mallzee was founded in Edinburgh in 2013 by entrepreneur Cally Russell.
Mr Russell pressed ahead with developing the app after turning down an offer of investment on the BBC's Dragons' Den programme.
Mallzee has so far raised £3.1m from a number of investors, including the Royal Mail Group and tech entrepreneurs such as Skyscanner founder Gareth Williams.
Mr Russell said: "One million people downloading Mallzee - it's a huge number.
"It's 100 times the population of my hometown of Dunoon, it's twice the population of sunny Edinburgh, it's 20% of the population of Scotland and it's a 60th of the population of the UK."
In the everyday world, when an object is pushed, it accelerates in the same direction as the force applied to it; this relationship is described by Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion.
But in theory, matter can have negative mass in the same sense that an electric charge can be positive or negative.
The phenomenon is described in Physical Review Letters journal.
Prof Peter Engels, from Washington State University (WSU), and colleagues cooled rubidium atoms to just above the temperature of absolute zero (close to -273C), creating what's known as a Bose-Einstein condensate.
In this state, particles move extremely slowly, and following behaviour predicted by quantum mechanics, acting like waves.
They also synchronise and move together in what's known as a superfluid, which flows without losing energy.
To create the conditions for negative mass, the researchers used lasers to trap the rubidium atoms and to kick them back and forth, changing the way they spin.
When the atoms were released from the laser trap, they expanded, with some displaying negative mass.
"With negative mass, if you push something, it accelerates toward you," said co-author Michael Forbes, assistant professor of physics at WSU.
He added: "It looks like the rubidium hits an invisible wall."
The technique could be used to better understand the phenomenon, say the researchers.
"What's a first here is the exquisite control we have over the nature of this negative mass, without any other complications," said Dr Forbes.
This heightened control also gives researchers a tool for exploring the possible relationships between negative mass and phenomena observed in the cosmos, such as neutron stars, black holes and dark energy.

PC Neil Doyle, 36, died following an attack in Liverpool city centre in the early hours of 19 December last year.
Andrew Taylor, 29, Christopher Spendlove, 30, and Timmy Donovan, 30, are on trial for murder at Liverpool Crown Court.
The three men also deny wounding with intent and causing grievous body harm.
Police officer Michael Steventon, who was attacked alongside PC Doyle, said Mr Taylor had approached their group and repeatedly addressed PC Doyle as "officer".
He said Mr Taylor, a football agent and former Forest Green Rovers player, had made him feel "unsettled" believing the defendant had "an issue".
The court heard the disturbance broke out after the two groups met in the city's Seel Street just before 03:00 BST.
Mr Steventon said: "Mr Taylor arrived and immediately addressed Neil Doyle and asked him if he was having a good evening.
"He finished the sentence with the word 'officer', 'are you having a good evening officer'. It was directed at Neil Doyle. He kept repeating things to that effect.
"As you can probably imagine it's a bit unsettling when someone approaches you when off-duty and identifies one of you as a police officer but at the same time, I thought it would be a throwaway thing, that would just go away."
He added that Mr Taylor was "very persistent".
"It was a bit intimidating. It wasn't in a friendly way it was in an intimidating manner.
Mr Steventon said he did not believe PC Doyle had known the defendant.
The court earlier heard Mr Taylor walked into a police station after seeing media reports detailing the death of PC Doyle.
The officer died after suffering an injury to an artery in his neck, which led to bleeding over the surface of the brain.
In a police interview the following day, Mr Taylor told officers that PC Doyle had been "ultra aggressive" and "intimidating" towards him after the two groups met after leaving separate bars.
He admitted striking the officer in self defence in his initial interview, but later denied it, saying that he had been mistaken.
Nicholas Johnson QC, prosecuting, said: "It appears to be the present position of all the defendants that none of them admit striking Neil Doyle."
The trial continues.
Yahoo is in the process of selling its email, websites, mobile apps and advertising tools to Verizon.
What is left after that sale will be owned by a holding company to be named Altaba.
Its main assets will be a 15% stake in Chinese e-commerce firm Alibaba and a 35.5% stake in Yahoo Japan.
Five other current members of the Yahoo board also won't be on the board of the new firm.
Ms Mayer is expected to remain with Yahoo's core business.
Verizon's deal for Yahoo's core internet assets came under renewed scrutiny last month after the Yahoo disclosed one of the largest known data breaches in history.
Verizon is examining the impact of the data breach and there is speculation that the deal may not go through.
Last month she made national news as the winner of the inaugural Hepworth Prize for sculpture, to which she has now added one of the world's highest-profile art accolades, the Turner Prize.
At 31 years old she was the youngest artist on the shortlist, and also the most difficult to fathom in terms of her work.
Her hybrid sculptures, made out of materials both found and fabricated, form a complex tableau of ideas and associations.
They are poetic puzzles that question meaning and assumption, and require an almost archaeological mindset to solve.
Think Professor Branestawm meets Heath Robinson meets James Joyce, with a dose of Duchamp and Fischli & Weiss thrown in for good measure.
And then add some of the issues of today, from fake news to the nodal nature of the internet, and hopefully a picture starts to emerge in your imagination of what you might encounter when viewing a Helen Marten sculpture.
She wants to jolt you, provoke you; throw you off balance.
Things are not quite what they seem, objects don't conform to our expectations, awkwardness abounds.
At least, it does to begin with. But once you tune in to her way of thinking, and start to understand that the artist is not trying to fool you, but to take you by the hand and show you something new, you begin to see the beauty of her work.
Her attention to detail is extraordinary, the materials she makes (has made) exquisite.
This is not like so much contemporary conceptual art, which consists of a weak one-liner of little significance. Marten's sculptures are formally substantial and intellectually rigorous: they are made to last, in every sense.
Her father is a chemist. She is an alchemist. We are the beneficiaries.

Security officials said that Yusuf Dirir was killed when gunmen opened fire on his car.
Three workers from the Transport Ministry also died in a separate drive-by shooting on Saturday.
The attacks in the capital city came as a number of people were killed in clashes between al-Shabab gunmen and government troops in southern Somalia.
Police said that Mr Dirir had been killed when gunmen in a minibus blocked his route and sprayed the car with bullets.
"He was a man that has long served his country and wanted to see a united Somalia," said speaker of parliament Mohamed Osman Jawari.
Local media said that another MP had also been wounded in the incident and was in hospital.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but the killings are the latest in a string of assassinations of politicians in the war-torn country.
Islamist militants from the al-Shabab movement shot dead Abdullahi Qayad Barre near the presidential palace in February by opening fire on his car.
At least five MPs were murdered last year and the group has said that it will continue to target MPs.
In another development, al-Shabab clashed with government troops early on Saturday in Awdigle district and Mubarak village, south of Mogadishu.
At least 17 people have reportedly been killed but the death toll has not been confirmed.
"We did not sleep last night because they exchanged shells and gunfire throughout the night," resident Afrah Hussein told Reuters news agency.
Al-Shabab, which is affiliated to al-Qaeda, was pushed out of Somalia's capital by African peacekeeping forces in 2011.
But since then, the group has carried out a series of gun and grenade attacks to try to overthrow the government and impose its strict version of Sharia law.
The debate was led by Scottish Labour MP Ian Murray, who said Brexit negotiations should fully involve all of the UK's devolved administrations.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has pledged to explore all the options for securing Scotland's place in Europe.
Prime Minister Theresa May has said she wants the Scottish government to be "fully engaged" in the Brexit talks.
Ms May has described some of the proposals to keep Scotland in the EU as "impracticable" but has offered to listen to any options the first minister comes forward with.
However on the same day as the Westminster Hall debate, Attorney General Jeremy Wright underlined that "all of the UK" would be leaving the EU, also dismissing the idea that Holyrood could have some form of "veto" over Brexit.
Leading the debate in the second chamber of the Commons, Mr Murray said Scots had voted "overwhelmingly" to remain in both the EU and the UK at recent referendums, in 2016 and 2014 respectively.
He said: "The destination for me and the Scottish Labour Party, and the Labour Party as a whole, is to make sure that Scotland's position in the UK is assured, but that we don't lose sight of the advantages that we get from the European Union.
"Those are the two mandates the Scottish people have given us, and to disregard one mandate for the other would be wrong."
The Edinburgh South MP said he wanted to explore the potential implications of powers over areas such as agriculture, fishing and air quality being returned to the Scottish Parliament from Brussels.
He also said it was essential that any talks fully involved the Welsh and Northern Irish governments and the London Assembly.
A number of SNP MPs took part in the debate, with several underlining that the option of Scottish independence was also "on the table".
Ian Blackford said that "the people of Scotland have spoken", noting that Scots voted 62% in favour of remaining in the EU.
He added: "The UK might be leaving, but for us in Scotland, our future remains as a European nation.
"If it becomes clear that Scottish independence is the best and only way to achieve that, then that is an option that Scotland has to have. If the Scottish parliament judges that a referendum on independence is now the best option for Scotland's continued place in Europe, then the Scottish government has a duty to act.
"The UK we voted to stay in in 2014 no longer exists. Independence could be the best option to provide security for our economy and society. Independence would not be about Scotland wanting to leave, but to stay with what we have currently."
Fellow SNP MP Patrick Grady added that it would be "democratically unacceptable for Scotland to be taken out of the EU against its will".
And Glasgow South MP Stewart McDonald had strong words for the Leave campaign, likening Brexit to "political suicide".
He said: "The Brexit masochists have utterly ruined politics and turned it on its head. And I and my colleagues won't allow my country to bear the brunt of that. Because on the back of a Brexit vote that Scotland did not vote for, the political establishment here in London's behaviour and response has been shambolic."
Brexit minister Robin Walker, speaking for the government, said he had voted Remain, but said the decision had now been taken and had to be respected.
He said: "We should no longer be talking in terms of leavers and remainers. It is the responsibility of all of us to secure the best possible outcome in the interest of all UK citizens. We all need to work together.
"There is certainly respect for Scotland's position, and the first minister, and the fact that the prime minister broke a reshuffle to go up to Scotland to meet with the first minister is a sign of that respect.
"I'd like to repeat my personal commitment to fully involving the devolved administrations in the preparations for the complex task ahead of us.
"There can be no doubt we are working towards securing the best possible deal for the whole of the UK, and in order to achieve this we need to work openly and collaboratively with the devolved administrations at official and ministerial level."
Sinclair scored twice in the Champions League play-off first-leg rout, which all but secured Celtic's place in the group stage.
"I wouldn't say it was easy, I think we made it look easy," said Sinclair, who scored the second and third goals.
"I think every game is so hard and, just the way we played tonight, it probably looked like it was easy."
Own goals by Evgeni Postnikov and Igor Shitov and a James Forrest strike helped towards a comfortable win for Brendan Rodgers' side ahead of Tuesday's second leg in Kazakhstan.
"It was a great night," Sinclair said. "The boys did unbelievable. The scoreboard shows how well we did.
"We got the fifth, but we wanted more and we kept going for the sixth.
"As players, we love these nights. These are the nights you want to play in. The atmosphere's unbelievable.
"We've come such a long way. The team's gelled very well. The gaffer's brought in a couple of new players and I think we'll be ready."
Shitov was credited with Celtic's fifth goal after Leigh Griffiths' shot deflected into the net off the defender.
But Griffiths said: "I'm going to claim it until somebody else tells me otherwise. Until somebody officially confirms it wasn't my goal, I'm going to claim it."
Griffiths set up Sinclair's second goal against the Kazakh side they also beat in the third qualifying round last season and Forrest's low strike and said: "It's a great scoreline for us.
"Last year, we struggled to overcome this tie. It was a last-minute penalty that put us through, but now you see the team's flying. It's a whole different team now. We look forward to Tuesday.
"Anything can happen in football, we've given ourselves a great chance, but the game over there will be a difficult game to play in. We're 90 minutes away from the promised land.
"Hopefully, we go over there and get the job done. Having a clean sheet going over there with a five-goal lead, you would think we're almost there."
The Scotland striker was also pleased at the news international team-mate Stuart Armstrong is close to signing a new Celtic deal.
"We all know what kind of player Stuart is," Griffiths said of the midfielder. "It's a great boost and we want to keep our best players here.
"Stuart seems happy here and we hope the contract gets signed sooner rather than later."
Bradley Parker, 19, and Daniel Maston, 18, from Burstwick, died when their Vauxhall Corsa collided with a Land Rover Defender on Newfield Lane, near Lelley.
Mr Maston was driving the car when it crashed at about 14:40 on Sunday.
Hull FC said Mr Parker's name would feature on the club's new strip as a mark of respect.
Mr Parker, from Burton Pidsea, a former Hull FC under-16s captain, left the side earlier this year to start an apprenticeship course.
The Super League club said in a statement: "A talented hooker, he excelled from a young age captaining his school rugby team, helping South Holderness to the Year 11 National Cup Final.
"He also went on to captain East Hull and Hull FC's scholarship side, before his performances earned him international recognition with the England Youth squad.
"On behalf of everyone involved at Hull FC, we would like to pass on our deepest sympathy and condolences to the families involved in this tragic incident, and Brad's contribution to the club from a young age will never be forgotten."
A vigil has been held at the scene of the incident by the family and friends of the two men.
The 69-year-old driver of the Land Rover suffered minor injuries.
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward.
The 19th-placed Brewers, one of the favourites to go straight back down to League One, are three points clear of the relegation zone after 19 games.
Clough told BBC Radio Derby he has mixed feeling about their progress.
"We would have taken it at the start of the season but we think we have played better than that," he said.
"For the chances we have created we haven't scored enough goals."
This week the 50-year-old passed 12 months as Brewers manager in his second spell in charge and said it had been a "good year".
He added getting to the stage they are at is no mean achievement given their budget and standing in their first season in the second tier of English football.
"We knew we would not be first choice on a lot of players' lists for where they wanted to play in the Championship," Clough added.
"Hopefully come January, and if we manage to stay up in the summer, that [signing players] will become an easier task.
"In the first 19 games people have seen us play and I think we have played a little bit better than people anticipated.
"If we can replicate the first 19 games and have 44 points after 38 games that would be a very good target and would gives us eight games to get to 50 points."
Clough had just over 10 years at the Brewers during his first stint, but left to take over as Derby County manager in January 2009.
The money was awarded as the region's hospitals were granted Biomedical Research Centre status, in what has been described as a "landmark moment".
It will be used to drive forward research into cancer, respiratory disease and other serious conditions.
Millions of people will benefit, the region's NHS trusts said.
In April, Greater Manchester became the first English region to gain control of its health spending as part of an extension of devolved powers.
Jon Rouse, chief officer of Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, the body overseeing the devolution of the region's £6bn health and social care budget, said the funding was "hugely welcome".
"The new partnership approach under devolution means that we have both the opportunity - and the means - to combine the talents of people from a whole range of areas to benefit our population," he said.
He added that the grant was "recognition" that Greater Manchester can combine clinical skills with the best research and academic talent "to take huge steps in improving the health and wellbeing of our people".
The grant was awarded by the National Institute for Health Research following a joint bid from Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Trust, in partnership with The University of Manchester, The Christie NHS Trust, Salford Royal NHS Trust, University Hospital of South Manchester NHS Trust.
Sir Mike Deegan, chief executive of the central Manchester trust, said the £28.5m award would help find "new ways of preventing, predicting and treating some of the major causes of premature death and disability".
"Bringing together our research expertise has only been made possible by the unique connectivity which devolution provides."
They show that in 2014/15, businesses in the Belfast council area received £85m, more than twice as much as any other council.
That included support for large expansions by firms like Citibank and PwC.
The lowest amount of grant aid went to Causeway Coast and Glens, which received £2m.
Belfast also saw the highest number of jobs created at 2,678.
Ards and North Down had the lowest number of jobs created at 286.
The highest levels of grants and job creation were concentrated in the main commercial and industrial areas of Belfast, Armagh, Banbridge, Craigavon and Mid Ulster.
Derry and Strabane is fifth in terms of grants awarded and jobs created.

The Local Government Association wants councils to be given control of careers advice to ensure teenagers "pursue the right course for them".
A report for the LGA suggests the teenage dropout rate costs the country £814m a year.
The government said its reforms were ensuring teenagers gained vital skills.
The LGA commissioned the Centre for Economic and Social Inclusion to analyse the latest figures which were for the year 2012-13.
The researchers combined dropout and failure figures on A-levels, apprenticeships and further education courses to give a total of 178,000 16 to 18-year-olds not completing their courses.
Of these, 92,000 students withdrew from schools, primarily from AS and A-levels; 24,200 did not complete apprenticeships or training courses and an estimated 61,900 withdrew from FE courses.
The teenagers at greatest risk of dropping out were apprentices, with a quarter not finishing, suggest the figures.
The authors note success rates both for AS and A-levels and FE courses have improved in recent years, with 16% of students dropping out of further education, 9% from individual AS-levels and 5% from individual A-levels.
This has contributed to a long-term fall in the total number of drop-outs, of 30% since 2006-7, they add.
Despite this they calculate 12% of all government spending on post-16 education and skills goes on "uncompleted" courses.
"For the young person it means coping with uncertainty and a sense of failure and with hard decisions about what to do next.
"For schools, the exchequer and the taxpayer there is the cost of providing education that does not result in a positive outcome."
The LGA says the current centralised approach to post-16 education does not allow schools and colleges to help teenagers find the right courses.
"Local councils, colleges, schools and employers know how to best help their young people and should have devolved funding and powers to work together to give young people the best chance of building careers and taking jobs that exist locally," said Cllr David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's children and young people board.
The Association of Colleges said the reasons for young people not finishing their courses were "complex".
"Sometimes they get a job and therefore leave education," said AoC chief executive Martin Doel, but he agreed poor careers advice was a problem.
"This report shines a light on failing careers advice in this country.
"We would like to see the establishment of careers hubs in every local area supported by schools, colleges, universities, local councils, employers and Jobcentre Plus to ensure everyone has access to the high-quality impartial advice they deserve."
The government said its new independent careers and enterprise company would boost collaboration between schools and employers and give young people access to high quality advice and opportunities.
"We are reforming academic qualifications and vocational education to ensure young people get the knowledge and skills that they need to move into a job, apprenticeship or to continue their education," said a Department for Education spokesman.
The spokesman said the government had ring-fenced £7.2bn to ensure an education or training place for all under-18s, adding that the number of young people not in education, employment or training was at its lowest recorded level.

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

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

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

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

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

Father-to-be Dean Clay, from Chandler's Ford, put on an accumulator bet and correctly predicted the outcome of 14 games over the weekend.
His win rested on a draw between Burnley and West Bromwich Albion, which came in while he was playing golf.
"I was on the 14th fairway when I heard a little bleep and saw it was 2-2 and about 20 minutes to go. My head went into a bit of a mush after that."
Thirteen of the games had been played on Saturday, but the decider was played on Sunday.
The 48-year-old Chelsea fan went to play golf as he was too nervous to watch the game.
"I played quite nicely at the start," he said, "but I was getting some updates.
"When it went to 2-0 to Burnley I thought 'well that's that then'.
"Then I saw West Brom had equalised right on half time."
After news of the draw Mr Clay, 48, left his phone in his bag.
"I just couldn't look at it anymore as it was injury time at that point."
He was on the 16th green when some friends who were aware of his bet "came rushing over jumping up and down".
He said: "Then I realised I'd won."
He went to the clubhouse where he needed a "stiff drink and a sit down".
He thought he had won £69,882 but when he walked into the betting shop on Monday he was told he had also won a bonus, making his total winnings £92,944.
"It's lucky that my wife and I were standing near the counter," he said, "as I think we both would have hit the deck at that point."
The Clays have a baby due in July and are in the process of buying a new home.
Mr Clay said: "The timing couldn't be a lot better."
East Lindsey District Council is building four new huts near Queen's Garden Square in Mablethorpe.
It is also removing 15 chalets on the South Promenade which are in poor condition and selling off the plots to the public with a 20-year lease.
All other council-owned beach huts in the town will be repainted.
The scheme was approved by the district council's planning committee.
Councillor Craig Leyland, portfolio holder for the economy, said: "Beach huts remain an important part of the seaside experience on our coast and the investment we're making in the new huts will mean they remain so for many years to come." | A man has died after a car he was in crashed into a wall on the A759 in Ayrshire.

Kevin McCarthy, 49, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court charged with the attempted murder of Damien Fowkes, 41, leaving him with life-threatening neck injuries on 2 October.
Both men were inmates at HMP Whitemoor in Cambridgeshire at the time.
McCarthy is due to be sentenced on Wednesday.
Fowkes is serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 20 years for the attempted murder of Huntley at HMP Frankland in Durham in 2010.
Fowkes went on to strangle paedophile and child-killer Colin Hatch in 2011 at Full Sutton high security prison near York.
Unusually, the decision will not be taken by the full cabinet but by a sub-committee, chaired by Theresa May.
MPs will not get to vote on the decision for at least another year.
Some ministers will be allowed to speak out against it for a limited period in a move being seen as evidence a third runway at Heathrow will be backed.
Expanding Heathrow is strongly opposed by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, and Education Secretary Justine Greening.
Allowing ministers to speak out could avert the possibility of resignations from cabinet.
In a letter, Prime Minister Theresa May has told cabinet colleagues that once a decision has been taken by the airports sub-committee on the preferred scheme it will then be subject to a "full and fair public consultation" before a final decision is put before the Commons in the winter of 2017-18.
Number 10 would not comment as to whether MPs would be able to vote freely on the matter.
A Heathrow spokesperson said it was "the expected and appropriate political process" - a view echoed also by Gatwick.
The government, the airports - they all insist that this is not a delay and that it was always an expected part of the planning process.
Ministers will still pick a winner next week, they say. We think they will plump for a third runway at Heathrow.
MPs might then get the chance to vote on the issue quite soon. However, it will not be binding.
It will just be a chance for everyone to air their views, including MPs such as Boris Johnson and Justine Greening, who are both vehemently opposed to expanding Heathrow.
Critically, though, the binding MPs' vote - the one that counts - will not happen for another year or so.
Earlier, Mrs May told ministers at a cabinet meeting that a decision on increasing airport capacity in the South East had been "delayed for too long".
Her spokeswoman said the prime minister believed it was important to now take a decision "in the national interest".
The nine members of the airports sub-committee do not include Mr Johnson, whose Uxbridge and South Ruislip seat is close to Heathrow, Putney MP Justine Greening or any other minister representing a London constituency.
Mrs May's spokeswoman said the decision to give ministers a limited period to voice their personal views was a "mature, common-sense approach reflecting the fact that many ministers have long-held views and that ministers are also MPs and some have specific constituency issues that they have to address".
As many as 60 Tory backbenchers could vote against expansion at Heathrow, where options include building a third runway, or lengthening one of the existing runways.
Zac Goldsmith, the Tory MP for Richmond Park, has vowed to resign from the Commons if the government approves a Heathrow expansion.
The Evening Standard reported on Tuesday that the local Conservative party would back Mr Goldsmith if he stood for re-election as an independent.
Airlines and business groups favour expansion of Heathrow, which offers far more direct connections than Gatwick and handles much more freight.
A final decision on which London airport to expand has been years in the making.
In 2009, former prime minister David Cameron pledged that there would be no new runway at Heathrow.
In July 2015, the Airports Commission chaired by Sir Howard Davies backed a new third runway at Heathrow, but did not rule out the option of expanding Gatwick.
Mr Cameron had promised a decision by the end of last year on whether to build a new runway at Heathrow.

The film has now made more than $31m (£20.5m) from its digital distribution.
Its limited theatrical release, meanwhile, has netted its makers around $5m (£3.3m).
Co-written and co-directed by its star Seth Rogen, The Interview was described last year as a "blatant act of terrorism" by North Korea's state-run KCNA news agency.
Its scheduled release is thought to have motivated the orchestrated attack that saw films, confidential emails and Sony staff's salary details being leaked online.
Sony faced widespread criticism for initially cancelling the film's theatrical release, a decision that President Obama called a "mistake".
The US has placed sanctions on three North Korean organisations and 10 individuals after the FBI blamed Pyongyang for the cyber-attack.
Some students told the University of Northampton they would be "more comfortable using gender-neutral toilets".
"That some students described having to 'hold it in' until they got home was, to us, unacceptable" said students' union vice president Nick Woodward.
Existing single-cubicle disabled toilets have been re-designated.
In a statement, the university said the move was designed so "there will be no situation in which two people of any gender identity will be in the same room, ensuring they can feel comfortable using the space".
Victor Agboola, students' union at the University, said: "There is a growing population of trans students, with those who identify as transgender, non-binary or are inter-sex.
"Some students would be more comfortable using gender-neutral toilets and at the start of this academic year we had a number of students here visit the Students' Union and tell us exactly that."
The LGBTQ Society and "members of the student population" were consulted about the move, the university said.
They were the last of four major titles for the world number three from Northern Ireland, and he is determined to add to that tally in 2016.
"I feel with this win I can go and replicate my summer in 2014 and win a couple of majors," said McIlroy.
"If I don't win a major this summer, I will be very disappointed."
The 27-year-old's success at the K Club on Sunday was also his first victory of the season.

McIlroy, who has not won any of the past five major tournaments, is focusing on a seven-week period taking in the US Open, Open and US PGA.
"You would think that your game isn't going to change too much from the first to the seventh week," he added.
"I really want to build up to those seven weeks and make sure my game is in the best possible shape so I've a chance of of winning a major, which would be fantastic, but I want to try to compete in all three."

Prof Christopher Spry, 79, who lives in Heol Senni in the Brecon Beacons, had download speeds of about 500Kbps
He runs a community website and uploads weather data and nature videos, so paid £620 for satellite broadband, which comes from over the Democratic Republic of the Congo, via Luxembourg.
"It's an astonishing technological achievement," he said.
Where Prof Spry lives also has sporadic 3G coverage so he researched his options and decided to invest in satellite technology.
A BT spokesman said: "Heol Senni is in scope to benefit from the scheme and work to provide access to superfast broadband to this rural community is anticipated to be completed in the early autumn."
The retired professor of immunology pays £420 a year for his satellite internet, which gives him download speeds of up to 28Mbps.
His broadband signal travels about 50,000 miles from a dish in his back garden to the ASTRA 2F satellite over the Earth's equator and back, via a company in Luxembourg.
Companies such as Sky also use satellites similar to this to broadcast their TV signal.
"I'm interested in what's going on in the world, I'm a very inquisitive person, I'm asking questions all the time and I need to know so the web is a wonderful resource for all of us who need to know what's happening," he said.
He also pays £250 a year for BT broadband, which he uses as a backup as heavy rain or snow can block the satellite signal and leave him cut off.
But the nearest exchange is in Sennybridge - about five miles by road - so his broadband slows down when making the switch.
"It really makes all the difference in the world, without it I think my life would be quite difficult up here... but it does need a satellite 24,000 miles above the surface of the earth over the Congo - it does seem ridiculous doesn't it," he said.
"Without broadband we're living in a dark age, so let's hope everybody can have high speed broadband soon and they'll be able to use it for whatever they want - entertainment, education, research - it's a wonderful tool for everybody."
Despite his best efforts, nature can still throw a spanner in the works when it comes to his satellite connection: "It's pretty adequate for most of the programmes I need so I'm a happy rabbit - the only difficulty for me is that there's a tree in the way and I have to trim that!"
BT said more than nine out of every 10 homes and businesses in Wales were able to put in an order for superfast broadband.
The Welsh Government also runs a scheme called Access Broadband Cymru which helps provide funds for satellite connectivity for properties not covered by the Superfast Cymru scheme.
Nearly 600 homes and businesses have taken up the option since it started in January 2016.
The UK Government announced on Sunday that homes and businesses from all parts of the UK are set to benefit from universal high speed broadband.
Calvin Markall, 26, hit Hamid Ali Khan as he attempted to cross a road from his home to a playground in Riverside, Cardiff, in February 2015.
Markall, from Rumney, initially denied death by dangerous driving but changed his plea to guilty at Newport Crown Court on 7 January.
He was also banned from driving for three years.
The court heard witnesses estimated Markall was driving a white Audi S3 at up to 70mph on Ninian Park Road, a built-up area with a 30mph limit.
Markall drove away briefly after the incident and seemed "panicky", according to witnesses, but then returned to the scene and identified himself to police.
He told officers: "I'm just concerned about the boy," who he said appeared in the road adding: "There was no way I could stop."
After his arrest he told police: "I can't believe I've taken a life."
In mitigation, Robin Howat said Markall had removed his car from the scene in order to park it, and returned immediately, within nine minutes of the 999 call.
He said because of the width of the road, Markall would have had 1.5 seconds to react to Hamid crossing the road.
The court was told Markall was jailed for 10 years in prison for drugs offences in 2009, and had been released in December 2014.
The judge, Thomas Crowther QC, said no blame should be attached to Fitzalan High School pupil Hamid and the situation was "entirely Mr Markall's making" due to his speed.
A witness impact statement from Hamid's father Sarfaraz Khan was read in court and he said he felt no anger towards Markall, whose actions he described as "stupid" and "immature".
"Our whole family are completely devastated after our little angel Hamid passed away," he said.
"Every Friday at this time [when the incident happened] we always think about him and just hope he will walk through the door but this will never happen."
Sentencing Markall, Judge Crowther told him he had placed value on "status, image and thrills", and had enjoyed driving the white Audi around Cardiff.
He said: "Hamid was at the centre of a large family and was particularly close to his brother Yusef. His family is bereft.
"No sentence I can pass can repair the damage that's been caused or begin to value the life that's been thrown away."
He described the events as a "short course of utterly irresponsible driving" and said: "There was a substantial risk of danger."
However he noted Markall had shown "genuine remorse", adding: "Perhaps you, as I have, will marvel at the dignity and humanity of Hamid's father who says he feels no anger."
The married airman in his late 20s was out running near RAF Marham in Norfolk on 20 July when he was ambushed by two men, but he managed to escape.
E-fits of the suspects led to some callers putting names to the faces.
Police said they were now following up these leads.
The airman, who has not been identified, said he was grabbed on Squires Hill by a man who tried to drag him towards a nearby car.
He fought back, knocking one to the ground, before the pair fled in a dark-coloured people carrier.

Norfolk Police made fresh appeals for information on Crimewatch and showed CCTV footage of cars travelling to and from a nearby shop, which they hope will trigger people's memories.
They have also released a picture of a knife similar to one that one of the attackers had.
Det Supt Paul Durham said: "People have put names to the e-fit images they've seen, we've had sightings of vehicles and this all goes into mix and all those lines of inquiry will be followed up.
"The airman is not back to work yet - he's had a period of extended leave - but he's doing fine and will be returning to work in the not too distant future.
"I'm confident we can solve this, but it is going to take some time."
The 28-year-old is the first player to leave the Lady Black Cats since the top-flight club announced it would revert to being a part-time club.
Furness, who had two spells over 12 years at Sunderland, joins Reading on a contract until June 2018.
"Rachel is a brilliant addition to our squad and she brings great experience," said Reading boss Kelly Chambers.
To be clear, there will be no English-style academies, no grammar schools or selection on the basis of academic ability.
What may change significantly is the role of councils in the system.
In many respects, the school system is a national service which Scotland's 32 local authorities are entrusted to deliver.
The government has no intention of removing schools from council control - the question is more what powers councils may retain.
The presumption in this review will be to give as much power as possible to schools and head teachers.
If any power lies at a higher level, the case will need to be made for it.
As well as devolving powers to schools, new regional boards will help schools in different council areas work together.
The question is what actual powers and practical responsibilities councils will still have once these changes take effect.
For instance, schools may have more control over their budgets, how many teachers to have or what means to use to try to raise attainment.
Because teachers' terms and conditions of employment are nationally agreed, it might be argued that the new regional bodies - not councils - should actually employ teachers.
All those issues are likely to be raised in the coming months.
The direct impact on parents and learners may be less obvious - much would depend on the practical decisions made by newly-empowered schools.
However, an important question will be how to ensure that schools remain accountable to parents and the wider local community.
The Scottish Conservatives asked whether schools could be given the power to "opt out" of local government control - a power which they do not currently have.
It would not be unreasonable to speculate over just what "local government control" will actually mean once the impact of this review is being felt in practice.
Councils will still be major stakeholders in schools. But their role could be very different to the one they've had in Scotland for the past century.
Paige, 15, was reported missing in 2007. Her body has not been found.
Blackpool's coroner Alan Wilson said the cause of death was unascertained and he recorded a conclusion of unlawful killing.
Robert Ewing, 60, of Kincraig Place, Bispham, was convicted of Paige's murder last July following a trial at Preston Crown Court.
The court heard Ewing exploited the vulnerable teenager for his sexual gratification and then decided to silence her when she threatened to go to the authorities.
He is serving a life term and will stay in jail for at least 33 years.
Gareth Dewhurst, 46, of Duncan Avenue, Bispham, who was found guilty of helping dispose of the body, was jailed for eight years.
Police say they "remain committed" to finding Paige's body.
Renowned cosmologist Roger Penrose said that analysis of this cosmic microwave background showed echoes of previous Big Bang-like events.
The events appear as "rings" around galaxy clusters in which the variation in the background is unusually low.
The unpublished research has been posted on the Arxiv website.
The ideas within it support a theory developed by Professor Penrose - knighted in 1994 for his services to science - that upends the widely-held "inflationary theory".
That theory holds that the Universe was shaped by an unthinkably large and fast expansion from a single point.
Much of high-energy physics research aims to elucidate how the laws of nature evolved during the fleeting first instants of the Universe's being.
"I was never in favour of it, even from the start," said Professor Penrose.
"But if you're not accepting inflation, you've got to have something else which does what inflation does," he explained to BBC News.
"In the scheme that I'm proposing, you have an exponential expansion but it's not in our aeon - I use the term to describe [the period] from our Big Bang until the remote future.
"I claim that this aeon is one of a succession of such things, where the remote future of the previous aeons somehow becomes the Big Bang of our aeon."
This "conformal cyclic cosmology" (CCC) that Professor Penrose advocates allows that the laws of nature may evolve with time, but precludes the need to institute a theoretical beginning to the Universe.
Professor Penrose, of Oxford University, and his colleague Vahe Gurzadyan of Yerevan State University in Armenia, have now found what they believe is evidence of events that predate the Big Bang, and that support CCC.
They looked at data from vast surveys of the cosmic microwave background - the constant, nearly uniform low-temperature glow that fills the Universe we see.
They surveyed nearly 11,000 locations, looking for directions in the sky where, at some point in the past, vast galaxies circling one another may have collided.
The supermassive black holes at their centres would have merged, turning some of their mass into tremendous bursts of energy.
The CCC theory holds that the same object may have undergone the same processes more than once in history, and each would have sent a "shockwave" of energy propagating outward.
The search turned up 12 candidates that showed concentric circles consistent with the idea - some with as many as five rings, representing five massive events coming from the same object through the course of history.
The suggestion is that the rings - representing unexpected order in a vast sky of disorder - represent pre-Big Bang events, toward the end of the last "aeon".
"Inflation [theory] is supposed to have ironed all of these irregularities out," said Professor Penrose.
"How do you suddenly get something that is making these whacking big explosions just before inflation turns off? To my way of thinking that's pretty hard to make sense of."
Shaun Cole of the University of Durham's computational cosmology group, called the research "impressive".
"It's a revolutionary theory and here there appears to be some data that supports it," he told BBC News.
"In the standard Big Bang model, there's nothing cyclic; it has a beginning and it has no end.
"The philosophical question that's sensible to ask is 'what came before the Big Bang?'; and what they're striving for here is to do away with that 'there's nothing before' answer by making it cyclical."
Professor Cole said he was surprised that the statistical variation in the microwave background data was the most obvious signature of what could be such a revolutionary idea, however.
"It's not clear from their theory that they have a complete model of the fluctuations, but is that the only thing that should be going on?
"There are other things that could be going on in the last part of the previous aeon; why don't they show even greater imprints?"
Professors Penrose and Cole both say that the idea should be shored up by further analyses of this type, in particular with data that will soon be available from the Planck telescope, designed to study the microwave background with unprecedented precision.
That is the finding of a Northern Ireland Audit Office (NIAO) report that is critical of the Department of Education's efforts to reduce the number of empty places.
The report also said school "leadership in post-primaries" must be improved.
There are also too many small schools in Northern Ireland, it added.
However, the report also said that the department does not have a standard method for calculating school capacity.
It found that, although they need additional funding, "there is no evidence that educational attainment at small schools is better than their larger counterparts".
The report, from the auditor general Kieran Donnelly, into the sustainability of schools takes as its starting point a review of education in Northern Ireland carried out by Sir George Bain in 2006.
It charts progress on some of the measures highlighted in that review.
The Bain review found that there were about 53,000 surplus places in schools in Northern Ireland, about 15% of school capacity.
It recommended the number of empty places should not exceed 10% of the school population.
However, the NIAO found that the number of empty places now totals over 71,000, about 20% of capacity.
It said that is "unacceptably high", and it criticises the Department of Education for not setting any targets for reducing the number of empty places in schools, or knowing how much those empty places cost.
Children with statements of special educational needs are excluded from the figures, for instance, so the number of surplus places may be "overstated".
The NIAO also sais that while there have been improvements in school performance, over a third of pupils leave school with fewer than five A*-C grades at GCSE, including English and maths.
It said that "the quality of leadership and management is not good enough in a significant minority of post-primary schools", and that there are "persistent shortcomings" in the quality of teaching in some schools.
Using figures from the chief inspector of schools, the report said that "overall effectiveness needs to improve in the 37% of the post-primary schools inspected which were evaluated as less than good".
It said that these shortcomings need to be "addressed urgently if the provision and outcomes are to improve from average to world-class".
The Bain review also recommended target enrolments for schools, and concluded that fewer larger schools were needed.
It said that the minimum enrolment for primary schools should be 140 in urban areas and 105 in rural areas.
For post-primary schools, the minimum numbers in years eight to 12 should be 500 and for those with a sixth form there should be a minimum of 100 pupils in the sixth form.
The NIAO said that 36% of primary schools here still have fewer than 105 pupils, while 47% of post-primaries have fewer than 500 pupils in years eight to 12.
It found that "there are still too many small schools which require additional funding".
Small schools get extra money from the Department of Education to enable them to deliver all of the curriculum.
In 2014-15, about £36m - 3% of the overall school budget - was extra money allocated to small schools.
The audit office report said "this can be seen as a grant to maintain a school which is financially unsustainable".
It also said that "there is no demonstrable evidence that educational attainment at small schools is better than their larger counterparts".
However, the report did not say that smaller schools perform worse than larger ones.
The report recommends a number of improvements to the Department of Education's sustainable schools policy and area planning.
Two floodlight pylons were demolished by high winds in storms that hit mid and west Wales on Thursday.
The damage led to the postponement of Friday's scheduled Welsh Premier League match against Cefn Druids.
Director David Evans said £30,000 would be needed "just be to re-instate the floodlights" but loss of sponsorship and bookings would add to the bill.
"Two of the pylons on the clubhouse and the Rhun Owen Stand side of the ground have been literally been blown over, the columns have buckled," said Evans.
"I've never seen wind like that in Aberystwyth and they've been blown down onto the pitch."
Evans told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme that in addition to the repair bill the club would lose revenue because of cancelled bookings for their newly-opened artificial pitch and sponsorship for the postponed match.
The storms caused extensive damage in the area, with the RNLI station in Aberystwyth recording a strongest gust of 94mph shortly after 10:30 GMT.
These are just some of the reactions to Barcelona's astonishing Champions League comeback from a 4-0 first-leg defeat by Paris St-Germain.
The Catalans turned the tie on its head - and scrambled the senses of fans worldwide - by winning the return leg 6-1 at the Nou Camp. They were 5-3 down on aggregate in the 88th minute.
Social media sites were ablaze with comment but one Tweet, from Dunfermline Athletic's official account, stood out.
".@FCBarcelona... congratulations guys.... fancy a friendly to say sorry for taking our record," read the tongue-in-cheek invite from the Scottish Championship club.
So, what is the record the Fifers are referring to, and is it the finest comeback involving a Scottish team in Europe?
Valencia won the 1961-62 Fairs Cup by beating Barcelona 7-3 on aggregate. The following season the holders journeyed to East End Park on an icy night just before Christmas boasting a 4-0 lead from the first leg.
Manager Jock Stein, less than three years before his appointment at Celtic, had urged his Dunfermline players to attack from the first whistle.
And the team, who had beaten Everton in the previous round, rattled the Spaniards with three goals within 17 minutes.
The Fifers then conceded a goal but scored two more to peg the match at 5-5 on aggregate at half-time.
Centre-half Jim MacLean deflected a shot into his own net to dampen the hosts' hopes before Alex Smith made it 6-2 on the night, 6-6 on aggregate.
In the days before the away goals rule, the tie was decided in a third game in Lisbon, which Valencia won 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals. The Spaniards went on to retain the trophy with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Dinamo Zagreb.
Arguably, Kilmarnock's feat against Eintracht Frankfurt in their first year in European football trumps the Pars' claim.
The Germans, who had lost 7-3 to Real Madrid in the famous 1960 European Cup final at Hampden, were 3-0 up from the first leg.
And they looked to have killed off any Killie hopes of progressing to round two of the Fairs Cup when they scored within two minutes at Rugby Park to make it 4-0.
But the 14,930 fans roared the hosts forward and Ronnie Hamilton netted twice with Brian McIlroy, James McFadzean and John McInally also scoring to seal a sensational comeback.
Celtic came close to over-turning a 5-0 first-leg defeat by Artmedia Bratislava in 2005, winning the second leg 4-0. But can anything better those games involving Killie and the Pars?

The man, 20, was left with a broken jaw after being "repeatedly punched in the face" by members of a large group of young people in Victoria Park, Taunton.
Police are appealing for any mobile phone footage of the attack, which happened at about 17:00 BST on Friday.
Two boys, 16, were arrested then bailed. Four others were later arrested on suspicion of disorder.
"This was a violent and disturbing attack in which the victim and his friends were threatened and intimidated by a large group of people," a force spokesman said.
"There can never be any excuse for hate crime or violence in any shape or form and this criminality will not be tolerated."
Alaa Badr Abdullah al-Hashemi, a 30-year-old Emirati, was found guilty last month of the murder of Ibolya Ryan.
The 47-year-old's body was discovered in the toilets of a shopping centre in Abu Dhabi. Her 11-year-old twin sons had been waiting outside for her.
Hashemi was also convicted of planting a bomb outside the flat of an American-Egyptian doctor.
The bomb was discovered and dismantled before it exploded.
The attorney general for state security prosecution told the official Wam news agency that Hashemi was executed on Monday morning after approval was given by the UAE's president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The report did not disclose how Hashemi was killed, but it came only two weeks after the Federal Supreme Court delivered a guilty verdict that was not eligible for appeal.
Police said the mother of six had become radicalised over the internet and had been looking for a foreigner to kill at random.
Hashemi told prosecutors that she had been angered by the detention of her husband by the security services and had wanted to spread fear among Western expatriates, according to the Abu Dhabi-based newspaper, The National.
Hashemi also asked the court during her trial to provide her with psychological help, complaining that she had "unreal visions" and saw "ghost-like people". The court ordered tests which it said showed she had been aware of her actions.
While UAE law allows for the death penalty, executions are rare. The last known execution was in January 2014, when a Sri Lankan migrant worker convicted of murder was shot dead by a firing squad.
The 29-year-old was arrested and held custody following an incident where a 24-year-old woman was attacked on Dixon Road in the early hours of Monday, 19 May.
Police Scotland launched a high-profile inquiry after the attack.
A report is being prepared for the procurator fiscal and the man is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The assault took place at a block of flats on Syme Road at about 10:30 on Friday.
The attacker, who ran off, was described as wearing a light blue, hooded top with the hood up.
The postman suffered bruising to his face and a black eye. Police have asked anyone with information or who witnessed the attack to contact them.
Chief executive Martin Slumbers removed the Scottish course from the Open rota when a vote to change its all-male membership policy failed to gain the required two-thirds majority last year.
Slumbers told BBC Sport that Muirfield's "closeness with the Claret Jug is very important".
The result of the latest ballot is expected to be published next month.
In a wide ranging-interview, Slumbers also:
Slumbers said Muirfield not overturning its all-male membership policy last year had been damaging for the game.
"I think it created a lot of negative press," he said. "We need more positive views of this wonderful game and growth that is going on in the game.
"I'd like to see far more of those stories, plus I do believe that if we are going to grow participation in the game, family golf is at the heart of that strategy."
Muirfield will only return to the Open rota if it changes its membership policy.
International Olympic Committee vice-president John Coates has told Reuters that women must have full membership rights at the host club for the Tokyo Games in 2020.
The private Kasumigaseki Country Club, scheduled to stage the men's and women's tournaments, forbids females from playing on Sundays and does not allow them full membership.
"The IOC's charter is extremely clear on equality," Slumbers said.
The R&A is part of the International Golf Federation, which runs the sport in the Olympics, and Slumbers stressed the IGF fully supports this policy.
"I think there would be serious reconsideration on the venue if there wasn't a change," he added.
Donald Trump's presidency of the United States is having no effect on his Turnberry course's chances of staging another Open.
"Turnberry remains absolutely as one of our nine golf courses," Slumbers said. "I also said last year that it's clear 2020 and '21 did not involve Turnberry in that discussion, and we will be thinking about '22 not for at least another year."
Slumbers is keen to separate the sport from politics but suggested having the president of the United States so prominent in golf has changed the landscape.
"For all of us in the game, we are in uncharted territory here with the president's family owning golf courses," he added.
"We're all learning as we go. But I think it's important for us that we understand where the game is and make sure we keep to that, without ignoring all the other factors that go around it."
And it seems, like Rory McIlroy, the R&A boss would accept an invitation to play golf with the president.
"With all senior people in the world, I think it's polite and respectful to listen to them and work with them," Slumbers said.
"It's very important that we work with the president if Turnberry did come back on. It would be foolhardy not to."
Elsewhere, the effects of another political change are being felt at the R&A's St Andrews headquarters.
It is considering paying Open prize money in dollars following the post-Brexit collapse in the value of sterling.
Pressure is growing on the Championship purse at a time when the US Open is offering a record prize fund of $12m (£9.6m).
Last year's Open was worth £6.5m, which at current rates is worth a fraction over $8m.
"It's certainly an issue," Slumbers admitted. "When dollar/sterling moves 1.50 to 1.25 that has a serious impact for us."
The prize money for this year's Championship at Royal Birkdale will be announced in June.
"I'd hate to see the Open not have prize money at the top end," Slumbers said.
"This is a professional game, the players play for money so [paying out in] dollars is one option that we are considering quite carefully."
American player Pat Perez has been heavily criticised for not shouting "fore" before his ball struck three fans in separate incidents during the third round of last week's Genesis Open.
Ireland's Shane Lowry tweeted: "What's it gonna take for players to start shouting fore? A signed ball or glove is no good to anyone if they are seriously injured."
Slumbers stressed it is R&A policy to remind players of their responsibilities in this regard before rounds in the Open.
"Putting spectators at potential risk is something that can happen in professional golf when the fairways are lined," he said. "And so, for the players and caddies, it's only right that they should be shouting 'fore' more often.
"I think there are enough people who have the same view as I do across all the tours, who think that the etiquette is extremely important to golf as a game and a product."

Despite spells of Welsh pressure, the ruthless Black Ferns led 20-0 at half-time with tries for Selica Winiata, Stacey Waaka and two for Renee Wickliffe.
Portia Woodman and Eloise Blackwell added tries after the break, before Sioned Harries crashed over for Wales.
Melissa Clay also crossed for Wales, but Winiata completed her hat-trick.
That added gloss to New Zealand's impressive win.
Drawn alongside four-time champions New Zealand and 2014 runners-up Canada in arguably the World Cup's toughest group, Wales were given next to no chance of reaching the semi-finals in most pre-tournament predictions.
They had mustered just one win during this year's Six Nations but, with a youthful and exuberant squad, they arrived in Ireland with hopes of confounding expectations.
Rowland Phillips' side offered spirited resistance against New Zealand and enjoyed a prolonged period of pressure in the first half.
But they could not find a way beyond the imposing wall, and the Black Ferns ruthlessly exploited Wales' profligacy as Winiata and Wickliffe both scored tries on the cusp of half-time.
It was a harsh lesson but one Wales learned from, with Harries and Clay's second-half tries offering reasons to be hopeful ahead of Thursday's encounter with Canada.

New Zealand started this tournament ranked second in the world behind reigning champions England, but their unrivalled four World Cup titles - all won in succession - were evidence of their enormous pedigree.
The Black Ferns' shock defeat against Ireland in their opening 2014 World Cup fixture was as monumental as the 20-match winning run in the competition it had brought to an end, stretching back to 1991.
That only served to inspire Glenn Moore's side and, after embarking on another 13-game victorious streak halted by England in June, New Zealand were determined not to allow history to repeat itself in Dublin.

They have never lost to Wales and that record never looked in doubt.
Despite Wales' dogged effort, they were no match for the Black Ferns' blistering back line.
The back three of Winiata, Woodman and Wickliffe looked particularly dangerous and, although stiffer challenges await, this was an impressive statement of intent from New Zealand.
Wales coach Rowland Phillips told BBC Wales: "We're disappointed with the result. The performance actually warranted a better score than how it ended up.
"But from a positive point of view, so much good came out of the game for us.
"Our set-piece was certainly a massive positive and the way we played at times, scoring two tries and creating other opportunities we didn't take.
"We have to look at that performance as a positive for us to keep building through the competition."

An election leaflet for David Simpson claims that he "visited British troops on the frontline of Afghanistan".
The former Upper Bann MP was due to visit in 2010 but was prevented from going to the war-torn country because he was too big to fit in a flak jacket.
As a result, the Army prevented him from travelling.
A DUP spokesman said Mr Simpson had "witnessed the bravery of our soldiers in Iraq", rather than Afghanistan, and the claim on the election leaflet was due to a "printing error".
Mr Simpson was due to be accompanied on the 2010 Afghanistan trip to visit soldiers of the Royal Irish Regiment and Irish Guards by the former Ulster Unionist peer Lord Maginnis but he was also unable to fit into an armoured jacket.
At the time, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said: "Nobody is allowed to board an aircraft to Afghanistan without correctly fitting body armour.
"The MoD provides a whole range of sizes, but regrettably none was suitable on this occasion.
"We recognise the importance of MPs visiting Afghanistan, but this trip has been postponed while we try to source sufficiently-sized body armour."
He gained a reputation as a persistent, often waspish, interrogator whose withering putdowns became a feature of his time in Parliament.
A practising Jew, he was best known for his fierce opposition to the policies of the Israeli government and its treatment of the Palestinians.
Possessed of a sardonic wit, he was a prolific writer and columnist who also wrote satirical sketches for the BBC, an organisation that he later frequently criticised.
Gerald Bernard Kaufman was born in Leeds on 21 June 1930, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants.
A scholarship took him to the fee-paying Leeds Grammar School, and he won an Exhibition to Queens College, Oxford, from where he graduated with a degree in philosophy, politics and economics.
While at Oxford he immersed himself in politics and, as the secretary of the University Labour Club, he was instrumental in preventing a student named Rupert Murdoch from standing for office, after the Australian was found to be breaking the rules by canvassing for the position.
On leaving university he set out to find a parliamentary seat. After a brief spell as assistant secretary of the Fabian Society, he was selected to fight Bromley in the 1955 general election. He was roundly defeated by the Conservative candidate, the future Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
Four years later he failed at Gillingham, another safe Conservative seat where the Labour vote actually fell.
He had secured a job on the Daily Mirror, where he often wrote leaders. In 1964 he moved to the New Statesman for a short time before working for the Labour Party as a press officer, in which post he became a member of one of Prime Minister Harold Wilson's so-called "kitchen cabinet".
It was while visiting his mother in Leeds in November 1962 that he saw the first episode of the BBC's satirical programme That Was the Week That Was. Back in his Daily Mirror office, he phoned the producer, Ned Sherrin, and told him he had an idea for a sketch.
"He had no idea who I was," Kaufman later recalled, "but he said, 'Write it and I'll send a taxi in the morning to pick it up.'"
It led to Kaufman becoming a regular contributor to the show, best known for his Silent Men of Westminster, a satire on MPs who never spoke in the House.
Labour lost the 1970 general election, but Kaufman finally got into Parliament as the member for Manchester Ardwick. When Labour returned to power in 1974 he held junior ministerial posts in the Department of the Environment and the Department of Industry.
He became shadow environment secretary in 1980 and, three years later when his Ardwick seat disappeared in boundary changes, he moved to Manchester Gorton, becoming shadow home secretary after Margaret Thatcher won the 1983 election.
Kaufman was scathing about Labour's move to the left. He accused Tony Benn of nearly destroying the party when he stood as deputy leader in 1981. He later said he would have quit Parliament had Benn been successful.
He was equally critical of Michael Foot's leadership and famously described Labour's 1983 manifesto, which advocated, among other things, unilateral nuclear disarmament and renationalisation of recently privatised industries, as "the longest suicide note in history".
After a term as shadow foreign secretary, he returned to the back benches in 1992 and became chairman of the Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport.
There he was able to indulge in a series of attacks on what he called cultural elitism. His savaging of Mary Allen, then chief executive of the Royal Opera House, over her failure to account for spiralling costs, saw her resign her position.
The satirical TV puppet show, Spitting Image, lampooned Kaufman as the serial killer Hannibal Lecter, from The Silence of the Lambs.
He became notable for harsh criticism of BBC management and called for the BBC to be privatised, claiming that the corporation could be funded by big business.
He also castigated the BBC over its apology for the obscene calls made by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand to the actor Andrew Sachs, saying that it was "not enough".
Kaufman's most vocal attacks were reserved for Israel and its policies towards the Palestinians. A member of the Jewish Labour Movement, he called for economic sanctions against Israel and a ban on sales of arms.
In 2002 he broke a longstanding pledge never to visit Israel when he went there to make a BBC documentary called The End of An Affair, which charted his early infatuation with the Jewish state as a young student and how he later became disillusioned.
He launched a bitter attack on the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon. "It is time to remind Sharon," he said, "that the Star of David belongs to all Jews, not to his repulsive government."
He often compared Israel's treatment of the Palestinians with South African apartheid and, described Israel's use of white phosphorus flares in the 2009 offensive in Gaza as "war crimes".
"I long ago gave up hope for the Israelis participating in a negotiated solution," he said in 2014.
Kaufman himself came under fire when the Daily Telegraph published its investigation into MPs' expenses in 2009. It emerged he had claimed more than £115,000 for work on his London flat and spent £8,000 on a large-screen TV and another £1,500 on a luxury rug.
Following the general election of May 2015, he became Father of the House, a title bestowed on the sitting MP who is not a minister who has the longest unbroken period of service in the House of Commons.
A prolific author, he wrote a number of books on the art and practice of politics.
Kaufman was not a clubbable man and not one to suffer fools either gladly or quietly, something that did not endear him to many of his parliamentary colleagues.
That, along with Labour's almost two decades of opposition, may well explain why a politician with undoubted intellect, and one of the pioneers of the New Labour project, never served in the cabinet of a Labour government.
Gerald Kaufman was knighted in 2004.
Fewer than one in ten adults in England and Wales now take drugs, according to the Home Office, but drug-related deaths have risen sharply.
The strategy will target psychoactive substances, performance-enhancing drugs and the misuse of prescribed medicines.
Drugs charities praised the strategy's focus on recovery, but raised concerns that budget cuts could affect delivery.
The strategy applies across England, with some elements spreading to Wales and Scotland.
New psychoactive substances (NPS), formerly known as legal highs, mimic the effects of other drugs, such as cannabis.
Last year, laws were introduced to criminalise the production, distribution, sale and supply of them, but they continue to fall into the hands of users.
Chemsex - using drugs as part of sexual activity - often involves crystal methamphetamine, GHB/GBL and mephedrone.
Government studies show the practice increases health risks, both mentally and physically, including aiding the spread of blood-borne infections and viruses.
It comes as the number of drug deaths in England and Wales increased by 10.3% to 2,479 in 2015, following rises of 14.9% in 2014 and 19.6% in 2013.
Home Office statistics show the number of adults aged between 16 and 59 who take drugs is at now at 8% - a 2.5% drop from 10 years ago.
In December 2010, with Home Office priorities centred on police reform and immigration, the last government drug strategy felt like a box-ticking exercise. Just 25 pages long, it contained little detail or original thinking and just one paragraph on the problem that was later to engulf prisons, legal highs.
The theme of the last strategy was supporting people to live a "drug-free life". It emphasised the need for "abstinence" and said too many users were reliant on drug-substitute treatments such as methadone.
The 2017 strategy makes no mention of abstinence or limiting methadone use, but it sets more demanding and wide-ranging measurements of treatment success.
At double the length of the previous document, there is a sense that the Home Office is more focused on the issue than before, prompted perhaps by the recent rise in drug deaths and the need to prevent a new generation of drug users sparking a fresh crime-wave.
The strategy includes:
Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who will chair a new cross-government drug strategy board, said she was "determined to confront the scale of this issue".
The chief executive of the drug treatment campaign Collective Voice, Paul Hayes, welcomed the fact that recovery was being put "at the heart" of the government's response.
While also welcoming the shift in the government's focus, Harry Shapiro, director of online advice service DrugWise, said he was concerned about a lack of funding.
"It has shifted from the 2010 strategy [when] there was an emphasis that recovery from addiction was just about abstinence," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"Anyone working in the sector knew that that wasn't the case, because if you are going to recover, you have got to have something to recover to.
"The government has recognised that more needs to be done in that area, but it all has to be delivered at a local level and local authorities are struggling with budgets, drug services are suffering from cuts."
Ron Hogg, the Police and Crime and Victims Commissioner in County Durham, said he agreed with a focus on helping users recover, but said it was "shameful" the strategy did not look into decriminalising drugs.
He said that in Portugal - where drugs were decriminalised 12 years ago - drug use, drug-related deaths and the number of people injecting had all fallen.
Home Office Minister Sarah Newton said she had looked at arguments for decriminalisation, but added: "When you look at all the other available evidence, we just don't agree."
The National Police Chiefs' Council's lead for drugs, Commander Simon Bray said police "will play our part" in delivering the plan.
The women - some of whom were said to be older with medical conditions - were attending the world premiere of Cate Blanchett's new film Carol.
Screen Daily said the festival had confirmed heels were obligatory for women at red carpet screenings.
However the director of the festival said the "rumours" were "unfounded".
Thierry Fremaux tweeted: "For the stairs, the regulations have not changed: 'No smoking, formal wear'. There is no mention of heels."
A note about dress codes on the festival's website appears to reinforce his point. It says "black tie /evening dress is required for gala screenings" - with no guidance on heel height.
Screen Daily first reported the story, after a "Cannes regular" told them how a woman wearing Rhinestone-encrusted flat shoes was denied entry.
The unnamed source said: "Someone I know was turned away for wearing nice flats, nothing you would wear to the beach. They were in their 50s. They told her she could go and buy appropriate shoes and come back."
Asif Kapadia, whose Amy Winehouse documentary screened at the festival last weekend, also tweeted that his wife had been challenged over wearing flat shoes, although she was eventually allowed in.
A spokesperson for the festival confirmed to the BBC on email: "Rules have not changed throughout the years (tuxedo, formal dress for gala screenings) and there is no specific mention about the height of the women's heels as well as for men's."
She added that hosts and hostesses were reminded of the rules.
The story provoked widespread outrage on Twitter, where the head of film at the SXSW festival, Janet Pierson, tweeted a link to the story with the words: "Why I don't go to Cannes".
British writer Caitlin Moran tweeted: "Utterly extraordinary it's reported that women - including those with disabilities - are being TURNED AWAY at Cannes for not wearing heels."
Buzzfeed's film critic Alison Willmore said actress Emily Blunt had been asked about the story at a press conference while promoting her own film, Sicario, at Cannes.
"I think everyone should wear flats," the Devil Wears Prada star said, according to Willmore..
Todd Haynes' film Carol, which is screening in competition, stars Blanchett and Rooney Mara and is about an illicit lesbian romance in 1950s New York
The festival said it had made efforts to address the gender imbalance between male and female directors this year, despite only two female directors being in competition.
They selected French director Emmanuelle Bercot's drama La Tete Haute (Standing Tall) to open the festival and organisers hosted a UN conference into equality on the red carpet.
Director Agnes Varda, who made her name during the French New Wave of the 1960s, will also become the first woman to receive an honorary Palme d'Or.
The Times arts correspondent Jack Malvern tweeted: "So much for the year of women."
Irish Times journalist Laura Slattery tweeted: "But Cannes, flat shoes are in fashion this year... Well, they definitely are now."
Colin Blake befriended widower Frank Willett in Kirby Hill, North Yorkshire, and took control of his finances.
Leeds Crown Court heard Blake sold Mr Willett's house after he moved to a care home and £85,000 of the money went into his business and land in France.
Blake, 60, of Parthenay, France, pleaded guilty to two counts of theft.
In 2000, Blake moved in next door to the 78-year-old ex-serviceman in Hill View, with Mr Willett relying on Blake and his wife Sally to help with doctors' visits and shopping.
Jo Shepherd, prosecuting, told the court Mr Willett was "confused and struggling to cope" and his immediate family was initially happy with the arrangement as they lived 330 miles away.
After two years of being neighbours, Blake became Mr Willett's main carer and took him to solicitors for a will to be drawn up making him "principal beneficiary", the court heard.
The prosecution said "Mr Blake had custody of Mr Willett's cheque book" and a lasting power of attorney was drawn up, giving him full control of Mr Willett's financial affairs.
In 2004, Mr Willetts was moved to a care home in Boroughbridge and Blake sold his home for £145,000, with war medals, photos and his late-wife's wedding ring disposed of or sold off, the court heard.
The court was told £15,000 was placed into the account of Blake's building firm, with £70,000 later invested in land in France.
In an impact statement, Mr Willett's daughter Leslie said Blake "cynically preyed on his confusion and vulnerability" before Mr Willett's death in 2009.
Mr Willett, who served in Normandy during World War II, had the last six years of his life "hijacked", the court heard.
Nick Johnson QC, defending, accepted the case showed a "high breach of trust", but his client had initially provided daily care for Mr Willett and became "like a son" to him.
Judge James Spencer QC, sentencing Blake, said: "I'm quite sure that you took advantage of his dependence as he deteriorated and you abused that level of trust.
"You helped yourself to his money to prop up your business, then when the house was sold you helped yourself to a considerable portion of the sale."
A proceeds of crime hearing was now due to take place, the court heard.
The crash happened on the A6, close to the entrance of Gulliver's Kingdom, in Matlock Bath at 17:20 BST on Saturday.
One cyclist died from serious injuries at the scene. Police could not confirm the severity of the second biker's injuries.
Derbyshire Police has asked anyone with information about the crash to contact the force.
The Italian will have the final say on selection while working alongside Alan Curtis - who had been placed in interim charge - until the end of the season.
Swansea, who sacked Garry Monk last month, are 18th in the Premier League.
Guidolin, 60, was at the Liberty Stadium for Monday's game with Watford but a club statement said he would only have a "watching brief".
"At the moment it's not a good situation for the club, but we have a good team," Guidolin told the club's website.
"In Italy, I helped my team finish in a good position in the table, and that's what I hope to achieve here at Swansea.
"At the moment everything is new to me, so I need three or four days to talk to the staff and players. After that, I will have a precise idea of things.
"Alan Curtis is a legend at Swansea, and this is important for me. He knows everything about the club."
Former Chelsea midfielder Gabriele Ambrosetti has joined Swansea's staff as coach following Guidolin's arrival.
The south Wales club placed Curtis in caretaker charge after Monk's departure and then announced on 7 January that the 61-year-old would continue as interim boss until the end of the season.
But after the 4-2 home loss to relegation rivals Sunderland, Curtis said he would be willing to step aside if the club found a new boss before the end of the campaign.
Guidolin has managed several clubs in Italy dating back to the late 1980s, including Palermo and Parma, as well as French league side Monaco.
He took charge of Serie A side Udinese over two spells, first in the late 1990s and then a stint from 2010 to 2014.
Udinese finished third in Serie A under Guidolin in 2012, equalling the club's best season in the Italian top flight.
He also achieved promotions with Parma, Palermo and Vicenza, and led the latter to an unlikely victory in the Coppa Italia in 1997.
Swans chairman Huw Jenkins travelled to South America in December to step up his search for Monk's successor, with Marcelo Bielsa the bookmakers' favourite for the role.
After the appointment of Guidolin, Jenkins said: "His experience and knowledge will be a huge asset to the club.
"He has an excellent record, especially with Udinese over the last few years. He created an Udinese side from a relatively small budget - compared to the rest of the league - that competed with the big teams in Serie A.
"He instilled a belief and motivation to compete and beat the best Italy had to offer. It is similar to what this football club is trying to do in the Premier League."
Swansea host Watford in the Premier League on Monday, before travelling to Everton on Sunday 24 January.
Having been knocked out of the FA Cup by League Two Oxford, Swansea do not have a fixture over the final weekend of January.
They then travel to West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday 2 February before back-to-back home games against Crystal Palace and Southampton.
The spelling errors, incorrect postcode and email address were spotted on the advert outside Shenfield railway station by Essex blogger Martin Ives.
Craig Marston, who took out the advert, said: "Surely somewhere down the line someone should have spotted that."
Colchester-based UK Media, which produced the advertisement, apologised for the mistakes and is investigating.
"We send the adverts out to client to sign off as accurate and true, so proofreading is a mixture of clients and us. But the fault lies with us, there's no doubt about it," said UK Media's contract manager Mike Allcock.
"I'm still trying to establish how this occurred."
Mr Marston said he was unaware of the mistakes in the ad, which has been on display for two years, before being contacted by the BBC.
He admitted he had not proofread the finished advertisement as he had asked the firm to copy a flyer which he said was free from errors.
"I put my whole year's ad budget into this. I'm stumped by how I gave them a flyer, and all they had to do was copy like for like," Mr Marston said.
"My six year old son could do it. I don't know why a big media firm can't."
The former Kilmarnock manager is in charge of Derry City, who compete in a February-October calendar in Ireland.
Rivals Dundalk came within one tie of the Champions League group stage before competing in the Europa League.
"There's only one negative with the summer season, the pre-season training is done in very wet conditions, that's the only one I have," said Shiels.
"The summer league certainly suits our style of play.
"With the exception of Celtic, who play a great brand of football, the other clubs, the Aberdeens and these teams, need to start playing with more innovation and then summer football I'd say is better for that type of game.
"It'll encourage coaches to put a brand there that's entertaining.
"We have to be mindful that the game was created for local villages to bring entertainment to the parish, to the community."
Shiels led Derry into Europe in his first season in charge and they will take their place in the Europa League qualifiers in June, when they will be midway through their domestic campaign.
Scottish clubs other than Celtic have struggled to make an impression in Europe in recent years.
Since 2011, Celtic are the only Scottish side to have competed in the group stage of either the Champions League or Europa League.
And Shiels said: "If there's good surfaces, which there will be [in summer], it will encourage entertainment and what's the point in having a full house if we're discouraging entertainment?
"Entertainment is at the top of our priority so it will enhance that and the chances of doing better in Europe."
Shiels parted company with Kilmarnock in 2013 having led them to the first League Cup in the club's history the year before.
The Northern Irishman, who was initially brought to Rugby Park as Mixu Paatelainen's assistant, was asked what he has made of the club since he left.
After a pause, he said: "Difficult. When I took the job, I said to my chairman, 'look, if I'm sacked, can you please give the job to someone who will continue to give the club an identity?'
"Kilmarnock are never going to win the league. Unless they turn into a Leicester City, their best hope is to win a knock-out tournament.
"Kilmarnock is a town that has had a lot of problems, losing a lot of their industry, so it's quite impoverished and the people of the town - which a football club is for - deserve an entertaining product.
"I explained all this and I said that, when I'm leaving, it's important that you bring in someone who is like me, who is going to develop young players and is going to give them identity back.
"How you win is so important to a club the size of Kilmarnock and I'm disappointed in that aspect."
Shiels was replaced at the Rugby Park helm with Allan Johnston, who - thanks primarily to the goals of Kris Boyd, prevented the club being relegated from the top flight.
"They didn't go for that type of manager," Shiels suggested. "I wish they'd have gone for someone who would go and play.
"Allan Johnston took over and, to be fair, Allan did his best, but I think it was the wrong type of manager at that time and I like Allan - it's not anything against Allan the person.
"But they needed someone in there who had a proven track record and having a football philosophy to entertain.
"They all need it and they all need to start getting their act together and entertain first and foremost. The results will then take care of themselves.
"Scottish footballers are technical, they're skilful. Over my lifetime, you go through all the players that have represented Scotland, they were right up there. Billy Bremner, Charlie Cook, you could go on and on."
Shiels could soon be facing Scottish sides again with the introduction of League of Ireland clubs to the Irn-Bru Challenge Cup from next season.
Sligo Rovers and Bray Wanderers, who finished fourth and fifth respectively last year, will join teams from Northern Ireland and Wales in the competition from next season after the latter two nations entered this term.
And Shiels believes sides across the Irish Sea could cause problems to sides in the Scottish top flight, let alone those competing in the Challenge Cup.
"It's good as long as they are good teams going in," Shiels added.
"Sligo play decent football and it'll be interesting to see how it goes because this is full-time in every sense. It's a very professional league.
"The Scottish Premiership is a better standard, but there's teams in the League of Ireland - and we're one of them - that could beat top clubs in Scotland.
"Maybe that's a bit audacious of me, but there are teams in our league that could do that.
"Over the piece, the Scottish Premiership, I have to be honest and say, is probably above the League of Ireland.
"In terms of winning games, they would beat us, but the style of play in the League of Ireland is way ahead of the Scotland if you take away Celtic."
A Transport Select Committee report cited the "woeful" experience of Southern passengers, who have faced months of industrial action and staff shortages.
Ministers were urged to "get a grip" on monitoring rail franchise agreements.
The Department for Transport (DfT) said improving Southern services was a priority for the government.
The RMT union, which is locked in a bitter dispute with the rail operator over the future role of conductors, said the report was an indictment of the failure of rail privatisation.
It was published as Southern timetables returned to normal after a three-day strike by union members.
A further 11 days of strikes are planned before Christmas.
Southern's owners, Govia Thameslink Rail (GTR) said the report covered many issues already in the public domain.
MPs said the evidence taken from rail passengers was dominated by problems faced by GTR.
The report considered whether the firm is now in default of its contractual obligations due to the substantial number of train cancellations.
"In normal circumstances, this would be grounds for termination of the contract," the report said.
The DfT's claim that no other operator could do a better job in the circumstances was no longer credible, the committee said.
On parts of the national rail network, passengers struggled daily to get the service they deserved, the report said.
It cited a number of other problems, including overcrowding, delays, complex ticketing and a lack of access for disabled passengers.
Committee chairman Louise Ellman said passengers must be "furious, and rightly so".
"The individual voices of customers suffering woeful service on Southern Railway, in particular, came through loud and clear during our inquiry," she said.
"GTR, RMT and the government are all culpable to some extent for the prolonged dispute, but passengers have borne the brunt."
Ms Ellman said the size of the rail network had barely increased despite passenger journeys more than doubling over the last 20 years.
"Passengers now contribute more than 70% of the industry's real income, but in too many places, passengers are badly serviced by train operating companies," she added.
The report recommended an automatic compensation scheme be set up to refund Southern passengers directly without the need to make a claim.
The DfT said it monitored the performance of all rail franchises and each franchise agreement contained clear penalty clauses for repeated poor performance.
"Simply changing the management or taking the franchise from GTR would not address the issues and would only create uncertainty and cause further disruption," it said in a statement.
GTR's CEO Charles Horton said the firm had submitted claims to the DfT for unforeseeable circumstances caused by industrial action that prevented it from fulfilling its contract.
"We recognise and fully accept that our service on parts of the GTR franchise has not been good enough and we are sincerely sorry to our passengers for that," he said.
"Our passengers have already seen 400 new vehicles on our network in the past two years [and] extended smart card technology across our network.
"We remain committed and determined to modernise the railway and deliver a better service for everyone."

Corsie, normally a central defender, was pushed up in front of the back four as she had been for most of the Euro qualifying campaign.
The first half started in warm sunshine and ended in a torrential downpour. The only constant was that just about all the football was played in Scotland's half.
Despite all their possession in attacking positions, the surprise was that Sweden failed to build on an opening seven minutes in which they could have scored three times.
Prolific striker Lotta Schelin (twice) and Lisa Dahlkvist both squandered close-range chances, one of them cleared off the line by full-back Frankie Brown.
Scotland striker Jane Ross, who scored her 50th international goal against Romania, was an isolated figure for most of the half.
Somehow the Scots held out to half-time, helped by timely blocks by Murray and Vaila Barsley and a second goalline clearance from Brown after 43 minutes.
Sweden made two changes at the start of the second half and three more before the hour. Scotland made two, Jo Love replacing Corsie and Sophie Howard later coming on for Murray in what was a more competitive second period.
Midfielder Seger saved her side by heading Caroline Weir's free-kick away for a corner with Barsley poised to take advantage.
Tired legs began to tell in the final 20 minutes as Sweden went all out to save face. Lisa Evans made the third goal-line clearance of the night, and then Seger rattled the bar with a header before finally getting Sweden's goal with another six minutes from the end.
Scotland head coach Anna Signeul: "We played a good game defensively and learned a lot about ourselves. Sweden are a very strong side.
"It's a shame we couldn't keep it until the end, but of course they were the better team. They were worthy of the win, but we learned a lot tonight.
"We also had to show that we could physically stand up, because we need to compete on that level in the Euros." | Caroline Seger's late strike denied Scotland women a draw in their final European Championship warm-up fixture. | 40,259,623 | 716 | 24 | false |
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Greece's latest offer constituted "some progress". But she said more work was needed and "time is short".
Greece must repay €1.6bn (£1.1bn) to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by the end of the month.
If it fails to do so, it risks crashing out of the euro and possibly the EU.
Although no deal has been struck, key obstacles appear to have been cleared, the BBC's Damian Grammaticas reports from Brussels.
The deal being formed is believed to include:
The move was received with cautious optimism by leaders of 18 other eurozone nations gathered for an emergency summit in Brussels.
Analysis: Robert Peston, BBC economics editor
There is a script which seemingly all eurozone leaders are urged to learn, which is that if the currency union is in the grips of crisis, no solution can or should be found till markets and economy are on the verge of a heart attack.
With almost no time left before a de facto default - and, more frighteningly perhaps, with a Greek banking system on the brink of total collapse because savers had lost all confidence that a rescue for their state could be found - Mr Tsipras has come up with a plan that his fellow eurozone leaders see, at last, as the basis for a deal.
So subject to technical talks, an actual deal to release life-saving additional loans for Greece may be reached at the end of the week.
Greek tragedy: End of an act, not the whole play
Why should I care?
What's behind the crisis?
The European Central Bank (ECB) approved additional emergency funding for Greek banks to cover withdrawals, allowing banks to stay open and providing breathing space for a deal to be reached.
It has acted repeatedly after anxious savers withdrew more than €4bn in recent days.
The Greek banking system is on the verge of collapse due to savers' loss of confidence.
Eurozone finance ministers meet again on Wednesday. They hope to approve a package to be put to eurozone leaders for final endorsement on Thursday morning.
Even if eurozone finance ministers and the European Council agree to a deal, it still needs to be approved by the Greek parliament and eurozone governments by next Tuesday.
Only once agreement is reached will creditors unlock the final €7.2bn tranche of bailout funds.
After talks ended on Monday evening, Mrs Merkel said that everyone taking part wanted Greece to stay in the eurozone, "myself included".
"The proposals offered by Greece today constitute some progress. However, it became clear during our discussions that there is a lot of work to be done and time is short," she said.
Mrs Merkel said she was open to considering debt relief - which Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras says is needed to secure support for reforms at home - but only after the present negotiations are completed.
Commentators say Greece's mountain of debt - worth almost 180% of its entire annual economic output - will need to be restructured if it is to escape the cycle of scrambling to secure funds to pay off looming bills to creditors.
Mr Tsipras also met the heads of Greece's three international creditors - the IMF, the European Commission and the ECB - in Brussels.
French President Francois Hollande said Greece and its creditors were "moving towards an accord" but there was "still work to be done".
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and EU finance commissioner Pierre Moscovici both professed themselves "convinced" that a final agreement would be reached.
But there has been some pessimism from Greece, with deputy parliament speaker and Syriza lawmaker Alexis Mitropoulos reportedly telling Greek TV that lawmakers would find it "difficult to pass" the latest package of reforms.
The issue is highly contested in Greece - with anti-austerity and pro-European protesters clashing in Athens on Monday night.
Pensioners are due to stage another rally on Tuesday afternoon.
Greece's left-wing Syriza government opposes reforms it says will impose unnecessary hardship.
It was elected in January 2015 on pledges it would end austerity. | Eurozone leaders have broadly welcomed new proposals for Greek reforms amid hopes a deal can be struck within days to stop Greece defaulting on its debt. | 33,234,499 | 925 | 32 | false |
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), funded by the US Congress, is the first organisation to be labelled "undesirable" under a new Russian law.
Russia's Foreign Ministry warned that "we will never tolerate mentoring and open interference in our affairs by foreign structures".
US officials condemned Russia's move.
The US Department of State called the blacklisting "a further example of the Russian government's growing crackdown on independent voices and another intentional step to isolate the Russian people from the world".
Russia's Foreign Ministry hit back by saying the NED's name was "deceptive" because "it is only non-governmental on paper, while in reality it has, from the moment it was set up, received funding from the US budget, including funding via the channels of intelligence bodies".
The ministry said that analysis of NED projects "shows that they are aimed at destabilising the internal situation in countries which pursue independent policies in line with their own national interests, rather than following instructions from Washington".
According to Russian official data, the NED gave financial assistance worth about $5.2m (£3.3m) to various Russian organisations in 2013-2014.
Russians can now face fines or up to six years in prison if they work for a non-governmental organisation (NGO) branded "undesirable".
Critics say it is a Kremlin move aimed at stifling dissent.
NGOs linked to politics in Russia already face restrictions under a 2012 law requiring them to register as "foreign agents".
President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party accuses some foreign governments of using NGOs in Russia as cover to engineer political change.
In a televised speech at an anti-corruption event in Tehran, he said money once "given under the table now is being given on the table".
Mr Rouhani also called for the "elimination" of monopolies.
A series of high-profile corruption cases have come to light since his government took office in August 2013.
In May, the billionaire businessman Mahafarid Amir Khosravi was executed after being convicted of being behind a scandal involving embezzlement, bribery, forgery and money-laundering that cost 14 state-owned and private Iranian banks nearly $2.6bn (£1.7bn).
And in September, former Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi was reportedly imprisoned after being convicted of corruption.
Mr Rahimi was reported to be linked to another billionaire businessman, Babak Zanjani, who has been accused of skimming up to $2.7bn (£1.7bn) of revenue generated from selling Iranian oil on behalf of the government through his companies to bypass international sanctions.
In his speech, President Rouhani called on Iranians to "apply all our power in fighting corruption.
"The continuation, the deepening and the expansion of corruption is endangering... the Islamic Revolution."
Mr Rouhani also criticised monopolies - on anything from the production of rifles to advertising - which he said were the cause of corruption.
"Anything which does not have rivalry or whose management is monopolised is flawed," he said.
"This is wrong and the problem has to be uprooted," he added.
Analysts said this might be a veiled reference to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), which has become a major military, political and economic force in Iran since being set up after the 1979 revolution to defend the country's Islamic system.
The IRGC is said to control around a third of Iran's economy through a series of subsidiaries and trusts, and is widely believed to engage in illicit and black-market activities.
The Australian, 27, was suspended by the Tigers at the end of last season and made this season's loan move to Salford permanent on Monday.
"Justin's found a new club and it's best for both parties," said Powell.
"There are certain things that you can accept in a rugby league club and certain things that you can't."
He added: "There is a lot of truth and honesty in rugby league and that's the most important thing for me."
Carney, who scored 63 tries in 62 appearances for the Tigers, accepted responsibility for the actions that led to him leaving the Jungle in an interview during pre-season, in which he also expressed his desire to make a fresh start.
"Justin has said he was wrong - and yeah, you're dead set right he was wrong, in every single way - so people take their punishment and move on. It's important he did that," said Powell, who also told BBC Sport that Salford were were the only club to express an interest in signing Carney.
"It was a rough thing to go through but it is done now and we move on. It was a difficult situation but I thought we dealt with it impeccably in my mind.
"I think it's really important now that everybody just moves on and we get on with the job of playing rugby league."
Castleford are due to host Salford in a Challenge Cup sixth-round tie on 7 May.
"We need to come out on top of that game," said Powell.
"The most important thing for me now is what we have got in front of us. We've got to move on from this."
Rescue dogs have been brought in for students to pet and play with as part of a series of stress busting activities.
Campus walks, adult colouring, and free exercise classes are also on offer.
Student welfare officer Naomi said the January exams could be "extremely stressful" for many students.
"Studies show that interactions with therapy animals can decrease stress in humans and are used in care homes, hospices, and many other establishments with great success and commendation," she said.
"Playing with an animal can increase levels of the stress-reducing hormone oxytocin and decrease production of the stress hormone cortisol."
Alpet Poundies Rescue teamed up with the students' union to bring the dogs to the campus on Wednesday, paid for using donations from Aberystwyth University alumni.
Director of student support services Caryl Davies said: "Students' mental wellbeing is all-important to us and our support services are available throughout the year.
"However, we know that exam season can be a peak time for stress in the academic calendar, so we've drawn together a special programme of activities to help ease the pressure."
The former Peterborough boss was appointed boss of the Keepmoat Stadium side, who are currently 20th in the table, on Friday.
"This club is ready to go, there is no question about that," the 43-year-old told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"There is a good blend of youth and experience. I've had plenty of time to look at them and there's a team there."
He continued: "It has been made clear that the aim is to get to the Championship. The reality of that means this season we need to get 21 wins from our remaining 35 games.
"It's an exciting challenge and one that we will meet head-on."
Ferguson, who is the son of former Manchester United boss Sir Alex, will take charge of the team for the first time in Saturday's home match against Bradford.
He has replaced fellow Scot Paul Dickov in the Keepmoat Stadium dugout after the former Oldham boss was sacked on 8 September after taking just six points from their opening six league games.
Interim boss Rob Jones won one of his six matches in charge to leave Doncaster above the League One drop zone on goal difference only.
Ferguson left Peterborough in February after four years with the London Road side and has signed a rolling contract with Rovers.
He said he had benefitted from taking some time out of the game.
"I wanted the break and I felt that I needed it in the right way," he added.
"I went straight from playing to management and then had maybe a month between leaving Peterborough and Preston and going back to Peterborough.
"There was an offer straight after I left Peterborough and in the summer, but the timing wasn't right."
Carmarthenshire developer Enzo's Homes is in the process of buying the Penllergaer civic centre site.
Money from the sale will go to build new schools and modernise council buildings.
Council leader Rob Stewart said the scheme, if approved, would provide much-needed housing in the area.
Enzo Sauro, of Enzo's Homes, said the firm was working on the finer details of the planning application.
He added the company would also gift three pieces of land to the Penllergare Trust, which manages the adjoining Penllergare Valley Woods.
The three-storey Penllergaer civic centre building first opened in 1982 for the former Lliw Valley Borough Council.
Staff at the building have been relocated.

Edward Stevenson addressed at a rally in Twaddell Avenue in the city, where loyalists have staged a nightly demonstrations in a row over the Ardoyne parade.
The protests began in July 2013, when restrictions were placed on the return leg of the parade, along part of the Crumlin Road that separates nationalist and unionist communities.
Kevin Sharkey reports.
Margaret Vinci Heldt "peacefully" died from heart failure in Illinois on Friday, her family has confirmed.
The cone-shaped hairdo was popular among first lady Jacqueline Kennedy and actress Audrey Hepburn in the 1960s.
Heldt ran a salon in Chicago, where she was born, and first debuted the hairstyle for a magazine cover in 1960.
According to the Chicago History Museum, Heldt attended the Columbia College of Hairdressing before opening her own salon.
"She had a zest for life, the most positive attitude," her daughter Carlene Ziegler told Reuters. "She was the life of the party right up to her last days."
In pictures: Best of the beehives
The mannequin Heldt used to make the hairstyle can be seen at the Chicago History Museum.
According to the museum, Heldt wanted the hairstyle to fit under the fez hat, using the hat's shape as an inspiration.
Others who enjoyed the hairstyle including cartoon mother from TV programme The Simpsons, Marge Simpson, music group The Supremes, rock band the B-52s actress Brigitte Bardot and even Beyonce.
English singer Mari Wilson, a famous exponent of the hairstyle, told the BBC World Service that late British singer Amy Winehouse was her favourite beehive-wearer, though hers was a wig.
Wilson said she also loved the women of the 1960s who wore the hairstyle.
"There's something lovely about taking time over your appearance," she said. "It's like not leaving the house without your lipstick."

The 31-year-old will break Michael Atherton's record of 54 Tests as captain during the first match against India, which begins on Wednesday.
In an interview with this month's Cricketer magazine, reported in The Times, he said: "Deep down I don't know how much longer I am going to carry on.
"It could be two months, it could be a year."
Cook became England captain in 2012 and has won 24 of his Tests in charge, claiming the Ashes on home soil twice and winning a series in India in 2012.
In 135 Tests, he has scored 10,688 runs - the most by an Englishman and 11th best overall - and is keen to remain as a batsman whenever he does step down as captain.

"I do look forward to the day when hopefully I can play a Test match as just a batter, there's no doubt about that," said the Essex player.
"If that happens I am going to really enjoy standing at first slip and being the bloke who makes suggestions to whoever's in charge and not being the bloke who has to make the final decision.
"It makes me feel very satisfied that I've been able to do it for a long period of time and I've had a really good crack at it.
"There have been some tough moments and amazing moments and you can enjoy that success that little bit more because of what you go through as England captain."

Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes Cook could step down after the series in India, or after the Ashes tour of Australia in 2017-18.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live's Tuffers and Vaughan Cricket Show, he said: "These next six or seven weeks are not crucial for Cook.
"He is breaking records and he has four or five years left as a batsman, if his mind wants to play that long.
"It depends on the character of the person, to be able to step away from the captaincy but stay in the side.
"He is the perfect sort of character to do that. He wouldn't want to step on the new captain's toes, he'd be a real good sounding board and be able to see when the new captain is under stress. He would be the perfect foil.
"I do get the sense that he will get to the stage, whether it's the end of India or the Ashes in a year's time, where he will say: 'I like the idea of standing at first slip and batting for a few more years.'"
Loraine Maurer of Evansville, Indiana, works two shifts per week, 44 years after joining the hamburger chain.
The nonagenarian great-grandmother first joined in 1973 after her husband retired due to disability.
"I told him we were too young to stay at home and so I went for a job," she recalled after enjoying a cake at a special party colleagues threw for her.
She never meant to stay as long as she did, Mrs Maurer told ABC News, adding that she never thought of becoming a manager because she prefers to interact with her customers.
"She is the only one here that knows how to make oats right," said one loyal customer who attended her party.
After her husband died in 1980, she began to travel more often with a friend, often visiting McDonald's wherever she went.
"I've been to Australia, Russia, Greece, Rome, and I'd always look when I could fly over the cities. I'd look for the arch."
One location even offered to serve her beer.
"That surprised me!" she said with a chuckle.
Even though she contemplates retirement every winter, she says she never plans to leave.
"I would miss it too much", says Mrs Maurer, who has four children, six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
"I really and truly enjoy it," Mrs Maurer adds. "Life is what you make it. And so I'm trying."
Video showed the man, identified as Mulu Habtom Zerhom, 19, lying in a pool of blood as onlookers threw a set of chairs on him and kicked him.
It happened at the time of a deadly attack by an Israeli Arab, at the same place, in Beersheba. He was shot dead.
Israel has seen a wave of stabbings and shootings by Palestinians this month.
Eight Israelis have been killed and dozens wounded in the attacks. More than 40 Palestinians, including several of the attackers, have also been killed in the growing unrest.
The upsurge in violence began last month when tensions at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem revered by Jews and Muslims boiled over amid rumours Israel planned to relax long-standing rules to strengthen Jewish rights at the complex. Israel has repeatedly denied such claims.
Mr Mulu was shot by a security guard, apparently while it was thought the bus station was under attack by two assailants.
Mobile phone footage shows an angry crowd surrounding Mr Mulu as he is lying injured on the floor, under a stool held over him by a member of security.
A set of chairs is dumped on his head before he is kicked by at least two people.
Mr Mulu was taken to hospital, where he died late on Sunday.
Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri said officers were working to arrest those who "aggressively beat" and kicked Mr Mulu "while he lay on the floor and posed no threat,", the Associated Press reported.
Mr Mulu worked at a plant nursery and was in Beersheba to renew his visa, his employer told Israel's Army Radio, AP said.
A man who said he took part in the beating told Army Radio he did not realise Mr Mulu was not an attacker, the Times of Israel newspaper reported.
"I saw people coming and crowding around him, I understood from them that this was the terrorist," said the man, identified as Dudu.
"If I had known that this wasn't the terrorist I would have protected him like I protect myself," he said. "In a moment of fear and pressure, you do things you're not conscious of whatsoever."
Commenting on what happened, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said: "It's terrible. It shows you what a terrible situation we are in."
The assault on Mr Mulu happened amid pandemonium after an Israeli Arab Bedouin from nearby Hula opened fire and stabbed people at the bus station, killing 19-year-old Sgt Omri Levy.
The attacker, identified as 21-year-old Mohannad al-Okbi, snatched Sgt Levy's gun and continued shooting, injuring 10 people, before he was shot dead.
It was the latest in a wave of attacks on Israelis across the country and in Jerusalem, putting Israel on heightened security alert.
Extra troops have been deployed on the streets and police in Jerusalem have erected a concrete barrier between the Palestinian district of Jabal Mukaber, where three attackers have come from, and the neighbouring Jewish settlement of East Talpiot, also known as Armon Hanatziv.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas separately this week to try to find ways to calm the spiralling tension.
There has been a spate of stabbings of Israelis and some shootings - several of them fatal - by Palestinians since early October, and one apparent revenge stabbing by an Israeli. The attackers have struck in Jerusalem and across Israel, and in the occupied West Bank. Israel has tightened security and its security forces have clashed with rioting Palestinians, leading to deaths on the Palestinian side. The violence has also spread to the border with Gaza.
After a period of relative quiet, violence between the two communities has spiralled since clashes erupted at a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site in mid-September. It was fuelled by rumours among Palestinians that Israel was attempting to alter a long-standing religious arrangement governing the site. Israel repeatedly dismissed the rumours as incitement. Soon afterwards, two Israelis were shot dead by Palestinians in the West Bank and the stabbing attacks began. Both Israel and the Palestinian authorities have accused one another of doing nothing to protect each other's communities.
There have been two organised uprisings by Palestinians against Israeli occupation, in the 1980s and early 2000s. With peace talks moribund, some observers have questioned whether we are now seeing a third. The stabbing attacks seem to be opportunistic and although they have been praised by militant groups, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has said Palestinians are not interested in a further escalation.
What is driving the latest violence?
Bulk mail is collected by other postal firms from businesses and passed to Royal Mail for sorting and delivery.
Royal Mail set out the price changes in January 2014, before withdrawing them.
Rival firm Whistl, which had planned its own delivery network, claimed the price hikes were anti-competitive.
Ofcom said its specific allegations include that "changes to Royal Mail's wholesale prices for bulk mail delivery services contained a differential in pricing which meant that, in practice, higher access prices would be charged to... customers that competed with Royal Mail in delivery than to those access customers that did not".
At the time that the price increase was proposed, TNT Post - now Whistl - was proposing to launch a rival bulk letter sorting and delivery service for business customers.
Following the price hike, it complained to the regulator about anti-competitive practice on the part of Royal Mail and ultimately gave up on its rival venture.
Ofcom said the higher wholesale prices Royal Mail was proposing to charge would "act as a strong disincentive against entry into the delivery market, further increasing barriers to expansion for postal operators seeking to compete with Royal Mail in this market, and leading to a potential distortion of competition against the interests of consumers".
Royal Mail initiated two price rises for its wholesale bulk delivery customers, one in November 2013 and then another in January 2014. It suspended and then withdrew the January 2014 price increase three months later after Whistl complained to Ofcom.
Royal Mail said on Tuesday it had co-operated with the regulator's investigations and would now carefully consider Ofcom's provisional findings.
It promised to "submit a robust defence to Ofcom in due course".
The 500 year-old company added in a statement: "Royal Mail takes its compliance obligations very seriously and is disappointed by Ofcom's announcement. The company considers that the pricing changes proposed in 2014 were fully compliant with competition law.
"They were an important part of Royal Mail's commercial response to both changing market conditions and to Ofcom's statements in its March 2013 guidance document on end-to-end competition in the postal sector.
"Under the terms of our access contracts, these pricing proposals were suspended following the opening of Ofcom's investigation. Accordingly, the pricing proposals were never implemented and were withdrawn altogether in March 2015."
The Statement of Objections from the regulator into the behaviour of Royal Mail comes a fortnight after the regulator confirmed the scope of a review into the company's operations.
The review could result in a price cap being imposed on the postal operator, it said.
Ofcom's inquiry will examine the "efficient and financially sustainable provision" of the UK's universal postal service - in other words, Royal Mail's commitment to deliver to all of the UK for the same price.
The general secretary of the Communication Workers Union (CWU), Dave Ward, accused Ofcom of "overstepping the mark" and undermining its "primary objective".
He added: "It is depressing that Ofcom seems to have learnt very little from the demise of Whistl.
"Competition for competition sake, seems more ideological than it does practical for a 21st Century postal industry. It is a 20th Century approach for a 21st Century problem.
"Their focus on competition in a declining letters market so far has shown that it risks jobs and drives down terms and conditions; as well as, further risking quality of service to the 29 million UK addresses reliant on our six day a week postal service."
Neil McEvoy's counsel, Jonathan Gwyn Mendus Edwards, was suspended for four months in 2013.
Councillor and AM Mr McEvoy previously said "I call out any abuse that I see".
On Wednesday, he said Mr Edwards's past had "no bearing" on his case.
Mr McEvoy was suspended from being a Cardiff councillor for a month on Friday, after the Adjudication Panel for Wales tribunal found a comment he made amounted to "bullying behaviour" towards a council officer.
Mr McEvoy called the tribunal proceedings a "farce".
The South Wales Central AM was later suspended from Plaid Cymru's assembly group as a party inquiry into his conduct continued.
On his decision to instruct Mr Mendus Edwards, Mr McEvoy told BBC Wales: "Jonathan's work has been pro-bono, meaning I have not employed him.
"Mr Edwards's past is a matter for him and has no bearing on my case. He is a legal barrister, permitted to practice."
Mr Mendus Edwards said his client knew the facts shortly before his tribunal hearing.
Referring to his own disciplinary matter, he said: "The facts included a miscarriage of justice in that my own barrister failed to attend my trial.
"He was disciplined for causing me prejudice. No one should have to represent themselves, but they made me do it. It is difficult to fight cases given our complaints culture.
"I support my three daughters in everything they do. And my wife supports me."
Mr Mendus Edwards stood for Plaid Cymru in Gower in the 1983 general election.
Plaid Cymru did not want to comment.
Conservative Chris Grayling said costs were the reason for his overruling of a plan for Transport for London (TfL) to take over suburban rail services.
But in a 2013 letter he sent then London mayor Boris Johnson, Mr Grayling said he did not want a potential Labour mayor to have control of trains.
He is yet to comment on the letter.
In the letter to Mr Johnson, who was in favour of having TfL take over Southern, Southeastern and South West metro services, Mr Grayling said he had "no fears" if the Tories were in charge.
Conservative MP Bob Neill, who is chairman of the select committee, said the views expressed in the letter - which was leaked to the Evening Standard - meant Mr Grayling was "unfit for office" and "acted for party political reasons".
He also said the Transport Secretary had "compromised his position and should resign".
Mr Neill added it was dishonest when Mr Grayling told MPs his decision was for financial reasons.
Labour London Assembly Member Andrew Dismore said: "It's the greatest shame for passengers that the minister's political point scoring has seemingly taken precedence over their needs.
"The fact remains that where TfL have managed services we've seen some of the best performances.
"If allowing TfL to manage suburban rail franchises will mean paying passengers get better, more reliable services, then we need to move passed this pettiness and make it happen."
Labour's Sadiq Khan, who became London's mayor in May, said giving TfL control of trains was the only way to improve "shocking" passenger service.
Minister for London and Croydon Central MP Gavin Barwell said: "This is obviously a letter that was written a long time ago.
"I think the decision that was taken is about what's best for passengers in London which is to bring responsibility for running the track and the services together."
He said the decision was "democratic" as people who live in Kent did not get a say in who the Mayor of London was.
Kenya's government is trying to sound confident. The deputy interior minister assured me that the country was "safe for tourists", and that foreigners have no reason to stay away despite clear threats from the militant Somali group al-Shabab.
Let us hope he is right. Kenya's vital tourism sector has fallen victim in the past to unnecessarily shrill foreign travel advisories.
But Kenya's unexpected military incursion into southern Somalia is a dramatic development for a country that has spent years carefully trying to avoid just such an entanglement.
So was it a mistake? That seems to be the main question on the lips of aid workers, diplomats and a variety of officials I have been speaking to here over the past few days.
Some Somali experts believe this was a long-planned operation, arranged with the covert support of the US and other western allies.
The theory goes that the recent kidnappings of foreigners in Kenya were merely a convenient pretext for the invasion - that al-Shabab has been fatally weakened by its "horrific ineptitude" in the face of the famine and its dwindling foreign support, and that the next few months could see the militant group ousted from its key port of Kismayo and effectively finished off inside Somalia.
A slightly more modest theory holds that Kenya has indeed been planning for a limited military intervention to build a more effective buffer zone along the border inside Somalia - where it already co-operates with various ineffective local militias opposed to al-Shabab and into which it intends to push some of the tens of thousands of Somali refugees now camped in Kenya.
A senior western aid source told me that the UN secretary general has already called Kenya's prime minister to warn him against any attempt to violate international law by expelling refugees.
Then there is the chaos theory. Kenya - enraged by the kidnappings and the damage to its tourism industry and development plans - lashed out without warning or much planning, catching everyone off guard and sending its untested army into what could well prove to be a very dangerous trap.
My sense is that Kenya has been planning something for a while - but there is huge confusion about its tactics, goals and exit strategy.
At this stage, if feels like a potentially huge mistake for one of Africa's most dynamic economies.
Already there are concerns that Kenyan troops are getting bogged down by seasonal rains and struggling to re-supply.
Al-Shabab has offered little resistance so far, but that seems likely to change amid reports that the group is rushing experienced fighters to the frontlines.
If this is a trap, it could be sprung very soon.
As for the strength of al-Shabab - there's no question that an already fragmented organisation has been weakened.
But in recent weeks it has still managed to pull off a string of spectacular attacks in Mogadishu, culminating in the ambush and elimination of an entire Burundian peacekeeping platoon, which, despite official denials, appears to have caused the death of more than 60 soldiers.
And what if the Kenyan offensive goes well, and Kismayo falls?
Al-Shabab may retreat but the vacuum will inevitably be filled by a wasp's nest of other clan rivalries.
Or does Kenya plan to stay on, perhaps looking for an international peacekeeping mandate?
The Ethiopians - who also pushed into Somalia in 2006 - will be watching Kenya's fortunes closely.
As for what impact all this could have on Somalia's famine - I will write about that in more detail in another blog, but the UN has already expressed concern and, with planting season at hand, it is hard to imagine how an upsurge in fighting could be anything but bad news for Somalia's vulnerable population.
Four matches will be held in London in 2017, two at Wembley and two at Twickenham.
But NFL UK says Cardiff would be an ideal host, if they decided to take it beyond the United Kingdom capital.
"There's not a lot of stadia in the UK that suit our sport. But the Principality Stadium works perfectly," NFL UK managing director Alistair Kirkwood told BBC Wales Sport.
"We've been playing games at Wembley, we've now moved into Twickenham and we've also got a long-term deal with Spurs.

"We've shown we like to play in different stadia.
"I've been to the Principality Stadium as a fan and I've had a couple of conversations with them.
"I think we'd need two teams that would want to stay for a week because of the extra travel.
"But it's certainly in the mix."
Kirkwood was speaking at an NFL UK fans' forum in Cardiff to promote the forthcoming London matches.
"Tonight's event and the passion the Welsh fans have shown speaks volumes.
"It's a really good message for me to take back to New York."
NFL UK director of marketing Charlotte Offord has said Glasgow's Hampden Park and Murrayfield, in Edinburgh, "are well equipped" to host games.
The county's force was responding after The Times said confidential police reports referred to widespread abuse of girls by Asian men.
Rotherham MP Denis MacShane said police kept secret the abuse from politicians.
South Yorkshire Police said the suggestion it was reluctant to tackle child sexual abuse was wrong.
In November 2010, five Rotherham men were jailed for sexual offences against under-age girls.
Labour MP Mr MacShane said on Monday: "The Rotherham police exposed, arrested and broke up an evil gang of internal traffickers who were sent to prison.
"But it is clear that the internal trafficking of barely pubescent girls is much more widespread and I regret that the police did not tell Yorkshire MPs about their inquiries."
The investigation by The Times - with access to confidential documents from the police intelligence bureau, social services and other organisations - alleges widespread abuse.
The newspaper said a confidential 2010 report by the Police Intelligence Bureau detailed "a significant problem with networks of Asian males exploiting young white females, particularly in Rotherham and Sheffield".
The paper claimed that in another confidential report in 2010 from Rotherham Safeguarding Children Board "there are sensitivities of ethnicity with potential to endanger the harmony of community relationships".
Mr MacShane said the sexual violation and commercial exploitation of young girls by older men was a "growing problem and needs far more public policy attention".
In a statement, the force said: "South Yorkshire Police is recognised as leading the way on what is now being recognised nationally as a problem and to suggest that the force and its partners are deliberately withholding information on the issue is a gross distortion and unfair on the teams of dedicated specialists working to tackle the problem."
It said the force was "working with local authorities, social services and NHS on several live investigations, two of which are large and likely to lead to more prosecutions; we will act when we have the evidence".
The statement added that The Times was "wrong to suggest a lack of commitment is shown towards the problem as our record shows".
In a statement Rotherham Borough Council said it was "fully committed" to tackling sexual exploitation, "a commitment that led to the conviction of men involved in this despicable crime as well as support for victims and potential victims and the education of hundreds of young people about the dangers of sexual exploitation".
"These are highly-complex cases and situations and some work with individuals did not lead to court cases for a variety of reasons, but those young people have been supported to understand the situation they have found themselves in and assisted by many services".
Unesco's executive board approved the Arab-sponsored resolution, which repeatedly refers to only the Islamic name for a hilltop complex which is also the holiest site in Judaism.
The site is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and Haram al-Sharif to Muslims.
The resolution caused Israel to freeze co-operation with Unesco last week.
The stated aim of the text was "the safeguarding of the cultural heritage of Palestine and the distinctive character of East Jerusalem".
It criticises Israel's activities at holy places in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
But it is how it refers to the sites which prompted Israel to act against the cultural body.
While acknowledging the "importance of the Old City of Jerusalem and its walls for the three monotheistic religions", the document refers to the sacred hilltop only by the name "al-Aqsa Mosque/al-Haram al-Sharif" (Noble Sanctuary).
It is the location of two Biblical Jewish temples and is flanked by the Western Wall, venerated by Jews as part of the original supporting wall of the temple compound.
Haram al-Sharif is also the place where Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven, and is the third holiest site in Islam.
The draft refers to the precinct in front of the wall as "al-Buraq Plaza 'Western Wall Plaza'" - placing single quote marks only around "Western Wall", giving the name as it is known to Jews less weight than the one by which it is known to Muslims.
Unesco's executive board chairman Michael Worbs said on Friday he would have liked more time to work out a compromise.
He told Israeli television network Channel 10: "It's very exceptional what happened yesterday, and I'm sorry for that."
On Tuesday, Israel's Unesco ambassador, Carmel Shama Hacohen, accused the Palestinians of playing "games".
"This is the wrong place to solve problems between countries or people," he told AFP.
But Palestine's deputy ambassador to Unesco, Mounir Anastas, welcomed the adoption of the resolution, saying he hoped it would put pressure on the Israeli authorities to "stop all their violations", particularly the excavation of sites in and around the Old City.
The resolution repeatedly denounced Israeli actions, including the use of force, imposition of restrictions on Muslim worshippers and archaeological work. Israel regards such criticism as politically motivated.
It led Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett to say Unesco was ignoring "thousands of years of Jewish ties to Jerusalem" and aiding "Islamist terror".
Unesco chief Irina Bokova also criticised the draft resolution, saying "different peoples worship the same places, sometimes under different names. The recognition, use of and respect for these names is paramount".
However, Mr Bennett said Ms Bokova's statement was insufficient. "Words are important, but they are not a replacement to the actions of the organisation she heads," he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a Facebook post that Unesco had become a "theatre of the absurd" in taking "another delusional decision".
"To say that Israel has no connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall is like saying that China has no connection to the Great Wall of China or that Egypt has no connection to the pyramids. By this absurd decision, Unesco has lost what little legitimacy it had left."
The coin is tossed. In just a few seconds the game kicks off. While running up and down the field, trying to score a goal and defend their own, Marco Glentvor and Peter Fromm sweat for their health.
They say football has changed their lives.
In Denmark, scientists have found that football can significantly improve the health of homeless and other socially disadvantaged groups.
"If I hadn't started playing football, I would either be dead or half dead," says Marco Glentvor, who admits that he used to live on the street and "take all the drugs I could get."
"My behaviour has improved," says Peter Fromm. "On the street, I could come out with some aggression. But when I'm playing a match my mood is fantastic".
Both men have been monitored closely by Prof Peter Krustrup, a sports and health specialist from Copenhagen University.
"The most important finding is that street football is a feasible, fun and social way to improve the physical capacity and health profile of homeless men," says Prof Krustrup after watching a training session in a graffiti decorated hall in an former Copenhagen brewery.
The strenuous physical nature of this game helps to start the process of purging narcotics from their bodies.
Peer pressure of team sport generates the determination that they need to stay out of the streets and transform their lives with this programme.
After just 12 weeks of training, the physical condition and capacity of 39-year-old Marco had significantly improved.
He has reduced his level of LDL or "bad" cholesterol by 19%, increased his muscle mass by 2.4kg (5.2lbs) and has been assessed as having reduced his risk of developing a heart disease by at least 50%.
These statistics are important because the life of homeless male means they die 20 years before the average Danish male and are five times more likely to be hospitalised with traumatic injuries as the result of falls and fractures.
"When I started on the (football) project, I got a lot of energy. It opened some doors and all of the sudden I thought I wanted to have goals in life," recalls Marco.
"Now, I just want to live. I want to make it better for myself. It was a hard struggle but I'm here today."
He now has a steady job as a clerk in a Copenhagen church.
Peter Fromm, a 34, is the goalkeeper of the Denmark's national homeless football team. He claims that football cured his addiction and took him out of the streets when other traditional rehabilitation methods failed.
"There's a lot of social networking with people who are on the same road as me to stay away from substances. It gives me some stability and helps me to build my self-esteem."
There's no doubt in the mind of Thomas Hye, founder of Ombold, a street football association that organises games, that this sport also has psychological benefits.
Currently, 20% of Denmark's 5.000 homeless take part in his event.
Mr Hye says: "It's about joy and to be part of something together with other people. And losing without losing your head and feeling happy because you score a goal, and try to do better next time.
"Some of our players have anger management problems; they have a lot of conflicts with society.
"On the pitch they might think the referee is an idiot, but in football they learn they can cope with things.
"Football helps people to more than they think they can do. It helps people get off drugs because of the adrenaline in the body."
Mr Hye and Prof Krustrup belief that other countries should establish football leagues for people who live on the streets.
"Society has got a responsibility towards the homeless and socially disadvantaged," says Prof Krustrup.
"And football is an easy solution. All you need is a ball and two goals. The effects are rapid and marked in relation to health profile and well-being."
Prof Krustrup has carried out similar studies on other social groups, such as the elderly and has concluded that football is perhaps the best form of physical activity of all.
His advice is to stop watching the game on television and to get out and play.
Another group who play regularly is a team of Greenlandic women who spend much of their days outside the Sundholm hostel in Copenhagen's Amager district.
They spend no more than half an hour on the pitch. But their joy for participating is transparent. No incentives are required to induce them to put down the beer cans.
At the end of the session they spontaneously break into a chant of 'Sundholm United.'
"I love football," says Katava as a smile breaks across her deeply lined face. And then she catches the bus back 'home'.
Around 20% of all those who join Denmark's street football league drop out.
The beautiful game doesn't always save, but at least it gets some of the rebounds.
Guzman is being held in a maximum security prison in New York after he was extradited last month.
The notorious kingpin escaped twice from prison in Mexico, once in a laundry basket and most recently through a tunnel in his cell.
His lawyers say he has been denied marital visits and is largely kept in solitary confinement.
The claims arose at a federal court in Brooklyn at a hearing for Guzman, who has pleaded not guilty to charges that he ran the world's largest drug-trafficking organisation during a decades-long career.
He faces life in prison if convicted.
Guzman's wife Emma Coronel, a 27-year-old former beauty queen and mother of his twins, flew from Mexico to attend the hearing.
His lawyers said it was first time Ms Coronel had seen her husband since his surprise extradition two weeks ago.
Guzman, 59, is reportedly on 23-hour lockdown in a special unit of the Manhattan Correctional Center.
"We understand the need for security but we think it has gone above and beyond," said Michelle Gelernt, one of his court-appointed lawyers.
District Judge Brian Cogan pointed out that the "history of the defendant is somewhat unusual" - a reference to his past escapes - and said the Federal Bureau of Prisons should decide what conditions Guzman faced and who he could see.
Guzman's Sinaloa cartel allegedly smuggled hundreds of tonnes of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamines to the US while waging war with other gangs.
The cartel is accused of carrying out thousands of murders and kidnappings, and bribing officials.
Guzman - widely known by his nickname El Chapo, which means "Shorty" - is believed to have amassed a billion-dollar fortune through the drugs trade.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto had initially resisted extraditing him to the US, insisting that he should face justice at home.
But after Guzman was recaptured in January 2016, Pena Nieto changed his mind on extradition and ordered officials to speed up the process.

Islwyn MP Chris Evans claimed 34 different schemes since the 1970s have failed to tackle long-term and youth unemployment.
Jobcentre Plus was established in 2002 to provide support for jobseekers.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said it has helped 10,000 people into work in Wales over the past year.
But Mr Evans told BBC Wales' Sunday Politics Wales programme that successive Conservative and Labour governments have not been radical enough in their approach to welfare reform.
He claimed previous work programmes such as the former Youth Training Programme (YTS) in the 1980s and Labour's New Deal in the 1990s have not been effective.
"We're trying the same old tired solutions over and over again and getting the same results and I think it needs to change," he said.
Claiming that Jobcentre Plus is "not fit for purpose", he will argue in a Parliamentary debate on Tuesday that it should be abolished.
Instead, he will suggest the budget is used to contract services from charities and recruitment agencies with a proven record.
"Jobcentre Plus at the moment represents for a number of people somewhere they go to be sanctioned - it is not somewhere to go to find work," Mr Evans added.
But a statement from the DWP said it provides "an internationally respected service" which is "tailored to personal and local labour market needs".
"Every single day, Jobcentre Plus is helping thousands of people change their lives for the better, and over the past year there are 10,000 more people in work in Wales," a spokesman said.
"Of those who leave Jobseeker's Allowance to take up a job, three quarters are in work after eight months - that is a record of success."
Mr Evans urged the Labour party to take a radical approach and said: "For too long we opposed welfare reform rather than suggesting different solutions."
He added: "I think we lost the election because we went into the comfort zone. We have now got to talk about things we're uncomfortable about otherwise we're not going to look like a credible alternative government."

Well-known Irish musicians, including Oscar-winner Glen Hansard, Dublin band Kodaline and Hozier, led campaigners in song outside the Dublin building.
Apollo House, a former government office block, is empty but there are plans to demolish and redevelop it.
Receivers are now taking legal action to end the '"illegal occupation".
They went to the High Court in Dublin on Tuesday to seek injunctions against the campaigners which could force them to leave the building.
Their barrister told the court there were serious health and safety concerns as the building was not suitable for residential use and currently has no fire insurance cover.
The campaign group, Home Sweet Home, includes representatives on the Irish housing network and trade unions.
It is supported by Oscar-winning songwriter Hansard and Oscar-nominated film director Jim Sheridan.
Hundreds of people gathered outside the building on Tuesday afternoon as Hansard led supporters in an Irish rendition of the American song This Land is Our Land.
Earlier, the High Court was told the receivers were very sensitive to the plight of the homeless, Irish national broadcaster RTÉ reported.
Their barrister said there were enough facilities available for the number of homeless people in Dublin at the moment, according to Dublin City Council.
The American surgeon pioneered the procedure in 1963, but his first patient did not survive.
After creating a new blend of anti-rejection drugs, he carried out the first successful transplant in 1967. Since then, thousands of lives have been saved by the procedure.
He died at home among his family, a spokesperson said.
In a statement, the University of Pittsburgh, which he joined in the 1980s to work on his drugs research, said Dr Starzl was known as the "father of transplantation" for his work in advancing the surgery from "from a risky, rare procedure to an accessible" one.
In addition to performing the first successful liver transplants, he experimented with transplants from cadavers, and refined the process by using identical twins and blood relatives.
He also pioneered animal-to-human liver transplants, including baboon to human experiments, which he showed could briefly extend life when there was a shortage of human organs.
His family issued a statement saying he "brought life and hope to countless patients".
"He was a pioneer, a legend, a great human, and a great humanitarian," it said.
"He was a force of nature that swept all those around him into his orbit, challenging those that surrounded him to strive to match his superhuman feats of focus, will and compassion."
Dr Starzl was also known for his research work on developing anti-rejection drugs. He blended azathioprine, a drug which suppresses the immune system, with steroids to aid in his pioneering transplants in the 1960s.
His research later in life would lead to the acceptance of improved drugs including cyclosporine and tacrolimus.
He retired from clinical work in 1991 and published his autobiography, The Puzzle People.
In it, he revealed that despite all his accolades, he felt a great anxiety about actually performing surgery.
"I had an intense fear of of failing the patients who had placed their health or life in my hands," he wrote.
"Even for simple operations I would review books.... then, sick with apprehension, I would go to the operating room, almost unable to function until the case began."
"Instead of blotting out the failures, I remembered these forever," he said.
The victim, 23, was injured on Daniel Hill Terrace, Upperthorpe, near the city centre on Saturday afternoon.
People living in the area said the man was either in, or close to, a black Mercedes car he had been driving when he was shot.
Officers, called to the scene at about 13:35 GMT, found the man with a gunshot wound to his chest.
Armed police sealed off the area and the victim was taken to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
South Yorkshire Police has appealed for information over the killing, which is the latest in a spate of shootings across the city in recent weeks.
Residents said the man was a member of a family who live close to the scene of the shooting.
They said relatives had been gathering for a celebration when the attack occurred.
Many came out of the house to try to help him after hearing the shot, neighbours said.
There have been a number of shootings in Sheffield in recent weeks, although all the previous incidents have been in the north of the city and not close to the Upperthorpe area.
On Monday, a 25-year-old man was seriously injured when he was shot in the street in the Shiregreen area.
Earlier this month, shots were fired through the living room window of an elderly couple's home in the Southey Green area - an incident police believe was a case of mistaken identity.
In January shots were fired at houses in two separate incidents in the same street in High Green.
He told the Conservative conference the public finances should be in the black when the economy was strong as insurance against a "rainy day".
His comments were taken as suggesting more years of spending restraint.
Business welcomed the goal but Labour said Mr Osborne had missed targets before and could not be trusted.
The BBC News Channel's chief political correspondent Norman Smith said Mr Osborne's underlying message was that austerity would continue after the next election despite the return to growth.
In his keynote speech in Manchester, Mr Osborne also said he intended to freeze fuel duty for the rest of the Parliament, up to May 2015, if the money could be found.
In other developments on the second day of Conservative conference:
The last time the government ran an absolute budget surplus - meaning that it generated more in revenues, including tax yields, than it spent - was in 2001.
The UK has only balanced the books in seven out of the last 50 years.
Mr Osborne pledged to continue to keep control of spending even after the economic recovery was secured to avoid repeating the mistakes of "deluded" predecessors who believed they had abolished boom and bust.
By Ross HawkinsPolitical correspondent, BBC News
George Osborne's new rule for the next parliament is easier to understand than the current one.
At the moment he aims to balance the books at the end of a five-year period, but the sums don't account for capital spending - the money that goes on big projects.
And they don't include the bit of the deficit expected to vanish as the economy recovers.
His new plan sees him aiming to get rid of the entire deficit by 2020, providing there's no recession, and keep capital spending growing at the same rate as the economy.
He will hold up his pledge as evidence of Tory prudence against a Labour Party he'll paint as spendthrifts.
Tory strategists will hope a plan to run up a surplus and provide investment sounds straightforward and appealing.
But it could mean extra austerity, and make quick tax cuts harder in the next parliament.
And Labour will be sure to remind him that he will fail to make good his original plan: scrapping the deficit under the current rules by 2015.
Setting rules and targets is one thing, sticking to them quite another.
By running a budget surplus in the good times, he would "fix the roof while the sun was shining" and enable the government to continue to meet its most important spending commitments on health, education, defence and pensions.
"And surely the lesson of the last decade is that it's not enough to clean up the mess after it's happened? You've got to take action before it happens," he told activists.
"It should be obvious to anyone that in the years running up to the crash this country should have been running a budget surplus.
"You've got to take action before it happens.
"So I can tell you today that when we've dealt with Labour's deficit, we will have a surplus in good times as insurance against difficult times ahead."
"Provided the recovery is sustained, our goal is to achieve that surplus in the next Parliament. That will bear down on our debts and prepare us for the next rainy day."
But the Institute for Economic Affairs think tank said Mr Osborne was "still failing to tackle government spending sufficiently" and would miss his target unless he got to grips with it.
In its most recent analysis, the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast the government would be running annual deficits until 2017-8. Among G8 nations, only Germany is in surplus.
Mr Osborne said he was optimistic about the UK's future economic prospects, saying the "sun had started to rise above the hill" after years of recession and flat growth.
But he said much more needed to be done to ensure improved living standards for this generation and the next and warned family finances would not be "transformed overnight".
"There is no feeling at the conference of a task completed or a victory won," he said. "The battle for turning Britain round is not even close to being over."
He said he hoped to freeze fuel duty until the end of the current Parliament if savings could be found to pay for the move. Fuel duty has not risen since January 2011.
In his speech Mr Osborne described Labour's policy to freeze energy prices for 20 months as "phoney" and compared Ed Miliband's political philosophy with that of Karl Marx.
By Nick RobinsonPolitical editor
But Labour said Mr Osborne could not be trusted to deliver a surplus, having already had to backtrack on a pledge to eliminate the structural deficit by 2015-6.
"As for George Osborne's pledges on capital spending and the deficit, nobody will believe a word he says," said shadow Treasury minister Rachel Reeves.
"His failure on growth means that far from balancing the books by 2015 as he promised, borrowing is now set to be £96bn.
"And for all the warm words about capital spending he is cutting it in 2015.
Business groups said Mr Osborne's focus on getting the economic fundamentals right was "heartening" but must be backed up by a "relentless focus" in the years ahead.
"Breaking government addiction to debt and achieving a surplus in public finances is the most important ambition any administration can have," the Institute of Directors said.

Holloway, 50, guided Palace to the Premier League via the play-offs last season after joining in November, but had won only one league game this term.
A 4-1 defeat by Fulham on Monday left the club five points adrift of safety.
"Ian felt that a new approach might help keep us in the division," chairman Steve Parish said.
"It's a completely different challenge for Ian and a completely different challenge for us at the club.
"Ian's been very noble and he's come forward and said: 'I can't do it.' I've spent three days trying to get Ian in the frame of mind that he can do it."
Assistant manager Keith Millen will take temporary charge for the game against Arsenal on Saturday.
Although the club lost star player Wilfried Zaha to Manchester United, Holloway was allowed to bring in 16 players during the summer.
"I have pride in the job we've both done," Holloway said.
"We need to shut up shop in this division. At the minute we've got a whole new group there.
"I have to hold my hand up and say we didn't keep the spirit that got us up.
"We changed too much too quickly."
He added: "This club needs an impetus of energy - but I just feel tired to be honest. I'm worn out."
Palace won 3-1 against fellow strugglers Sunderland on 31 August, but they have lost their seven other league games this season.
Palace are 19th in the Premier League table and speculation had surrounded Holloway's position following a meeting with Parish after the Fulham defeat, despite the chairman telling BBC Radio 5 Live before the game his job was secure.
Parish said he would consult Holloway when it came to appointing a new manager and that the club needed someone with more top-flight experience.
"I've never seen Ian Holloway like that before. He cut a lonely figure. He's normally very effervescent, he's up and at them and enthusiastic.
"He's got to the position where he's said to Steve Parish: 'You've got to move this on.'
"I think it was honourable and noble. Watching it, I felt sorry for him."
"We've got a whole group of people who are only really used to the Championship and dropped them into the Premier League," added Parish.
"I think we both realised we need someone with more experience at this level."
Holloway ended a three-year spell at Blackpool - who he guided to promotion to the Premier League in 2010 before being relegated back to the Championship the following season - to join the Eagles, succeeding Dougie Freedman.
Palace were fourth in the Championship table when Holloway arrived, but held onto a play-off place thanks to an 89th-minute winner from Mile Jedinak in the final game of the season against Peterborough.
After beating Brighton in the play-off semi-finals, an extra-time Kevin Phillips penalty secured promotion against Watford at Wembley.
Allegations he brought Cardiff council into disrepute have been referred to a tribunal.
It has now emerged the case apparently relates to whether a single comment was made to a council officer in a threatening way.
A Cardiff Plaid spokesman called the investigation an "outrage".
It is understood that Mr McEvoy, who has been investigated in his role as a Cardiff councillor, has denied that the remark - a promise to restructure the council - was threatening.
The investigation, which has been referred to the Adjudication Panel for Wales for a later hearing, came about following a complaint brought by Cardiff Labour councillor Paul Mitchell.
BBC Wales has now learned the details of the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales investigation, which considered whether he breached parts of the councillors' code of conduct.
Mr McEvoy, who is leader of Cardiff council's Plaid group, was alleged to have made a comment in a threatening manner to a city council officer after a court hearing at Cardiff civil justice centre in July 2015.
The hearing concerned an application to suspend a warrant of eviction of a Cardiff council tenant.
Mr McEvoy went to the hearing to assist the tenant, which was also attended by council officers.
Following the hearing the AM allegedly said: "I can't wait until May 2017 when the restructure of the council happens."
The council officer alleged that Mr McEvoy was intimidating, and took it as a threat to her job.
Mr McEvoy is thought to have accepted that he made the comment about restructuring, but argues that he made it while speaking to the tenant about political matters.
His Plaid group proposes to restructure the authority's senior management, and there are council elections taking place in May.
He denied making the comment to council officers, and suggested it was soothing to the tenant to be informed there would be no repeat of the incident.
The investigation examined whether there were breaches of parts of the code of conduct relating to:
Mr McEvoy himself is not discussing the case.
A source sympathetic to Mr McEvoy said: "How does saying that he wants to restructure the council justify sending this complaint to the adjudication panel? It's a farce."
A Cardiff Plaid spokesman said it was their long standing policy to restructure Cardiff council.
He said: "It's an outrage that a government-appointed Ombudsman thinks he has the right to interfere in this process.
"It's also farcical that everybody can talk about this, except Neil".
The ombudsman's spokeswoman said: "Information obtained by the ombudsman during an investigation of a possible breach of the code of conduct for local authority members may only be disclosed for specific purposes under the Local Government Act 2000.
"The ombudsman's report following the investigation into a complaint against Councillor McEvoy has been referred to the Adjudication Panel for Wales for consideration by a tribunal.
"It would not be appropriate for the ombudsman to comment at this time as this may prejudice the tribunal proceedings."
In response to the Cardiff Plaid Cymru spokesman's comments, the ombudsman's spokeswoman added: "The Public Services Ombudsman for Wales is not appointed by the Welsh Government.
"The appointment process is conducted by the National Assembly for Wales.
"The current ombudsman was interviewed by an assembly panel, which was chaired by an elected Plaid Cymru member.
"As preferred candidate he was then interviewed by the cross-party [Assembly] Communities, Local Government and Equality Committee.
"The committee's recommendation was then put to the full assembly for confirmation".
Alex Jeffery, 21, was hit after being involved in a fight outside the Cambridge City Hotel, on Downing Street, on 1 November, police said.
Mr Jeffery, of Orchard Road in Melbourn, was taken to hospital but died from his injuries a week later.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place in the next few days.
In a statement, Mr Jeffery's family said he was a "fun loving, kind and caring son, grandson and brother".
Det Ch Insp Jerome Kent, who is leading the investigation, said he believed some people had seen what happened during the incident at 03:40 GMT but had not yet spoken to police.
"In particular I am keen to speak to the two security guards who came to Alex's aid," he said.
"I would also urge anyone who may have been travelling in the car involved in this incident or knows who the driver is to come forward.
"This is a devastating and traumatic time for the family and is it vital we catch the person responsible."
Admiral's shares fell 7.7% after it said falling interest rates since the referendum had affected its solvency ratio, although it stressed the ratio "remains strong".
Its shares were the worst performers on the FTSE 100, with the index closing down 34.77 points at 6,859.15.
Admiral also cited other risks to its business following the Brexit vote.
These include interest and exchange rate volatility, and the possible withdrawal of passporting rights that allow UK financial services firms to trade in Europe.
Admiral's comments overshadowed the news that its pre-tax profits increased by 4% to £193m for the six months to 30 June.
Balfour Beatty shares rose 3% after the construction company restored dividend payments and said it was seeing "tangible benefits" from its turnaround plan.
The company reported a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of £21m, compared with a £150m loss a year earlier.
On the currency markets, the pound was given a temporary boost by slightly better-than-expected UK jobs figures. But the effect soon wore off, with sterling down 0.3% against the dollar at $1.3001 and 0.2% lower against the euro at €1.1543.
Mike and Diane Hockin had been claiming £30m in damages after losing their property business in 2012.
Mr Hockin told the BBC's Wake Up to Money that he had wanted to expose the bank on behalf of other small businesses, but felt he had to settle.
RBS has admitted no liability and the final amount has not been disclosed.
The two sides reached an agreement three days into a five-week trial earlier this month, ending a four-year legal battle.
"I was gutted, I didn't want to (settle) because I don't feel that justice has been done," Mr Hockin told the BBC.
"It's not us, it's hundreds of small businesses who have been completely stuffed by this crowd and we weren't able to completely expose them because it would have put us in jeopardy basically.
"I made the decision to call it a day but I wasn't happy. But I really had no choice with it," Mr Hockin said.
A number of small business owners have claimed RBS pushed them towards its former turnaround division known as the Global Restructuring Group (GRG).
They then alleged it attempted to profit from their problems by charging them high fees and buying their properties at discounted prices.
The Financial Conduct Authority is investigating GRG but has cleared RBS of trying to deliberately profit from those business transferred to it.
RBS has admitted some shortcomings in the level of service it provided and has set aside £400m to compensate affected small business owners
The Hockins ran London and Westcountry Estates, a commercial property business based in Plymouth, with hundreds of small business tenants across 27 business parks.
They had banked with RBS for years, and as the business grew, so did their debts - reaching £55m by 2008.
That year they took on an insurance product called an interest rate swap that was designed to protect against the impact of rising rates on their repayments.
But during the financial crisis interest rates plunged to record lows which meant the company incurred extra heavy repayments.
This put the company under pressure and it was moved into GRG.
London and Westcountry's debt was later sold on to another company, Isobel Assetco - 75% owned by RBS - which appointed administrators in 2012.
RBS strongly contests the allegation that it caused London and Westcountry to fail, arguing in court papers that the business had prior experience of interest rate hedging products.
It said the company went to GRG because the downturn had caused cash flow problems and it had too much debt.
Mr Hockin said: "People say to me, 'you've been paid out'. But I'm still angry - what makes me angry is this has gone on for eight years.
"It's been completely deceitful. It's been done by a government-sponsored bank with effectively my money, it's cost a fortune and our business was a good business, a perfectly good business."
The Hockins' legal fight began with an action against the accountancy group EY. As administrator, EY held the right to sue RBS, but would not pass that on to the Hockins until it was forced to do so in a 2014 court judgement.
Mrs Hockin said: "Until the assignment court (the EY case) we spent about £250,000 and then subsequently the costs have risen greatly to circa £12m.
"The RBS solicitors kept going back to court and each time you go to court it costs you a fortune.
"We went to mediation in September which was an absolute total waste of time - and that's £100,000. The costs are horrendous," she said.
The case was initially funded by a large inheritance, but the couple then turned to a litigation funder, which invested in the case in the hope of securing high returns if the case was settled.
In a statement RBS said: "We have a duty to act in the best interests of all of our shareholders, including the UK taxpayer. We had strong defences to this claim and were thus prepared to defend ourselves vigorously in court."
"We are pleased to have resolved this matter, with no admission of liability. The settlement allows the bank to minimise material litigation expense and management distraction." | Russia has said it will not tolerate "interference" by foreign organisations after it put a US pro-democracy foundation on a blacklist.

Thomas, 28, is a key member of the Team Sky side trying to guide Chris Froome to a second successive Tour title.
Froome has already been sent for an X-ray after a crash during the fourth stage of the Tour de France.
"On the cobbles it's sketchy anyway. If it does rain it could end somebody's race quite easily," said Thomas.
"You train all year for this and for it to end like that would be devastating for whoever it was.
"So hopefully it stays dry and everyone stays out of trouble."
Froome touched wheels in the peloton and fell just five kilometres into the 163.5km fourth stage between Le Touquet-Paris-Place and Lille Metropole.
The 29-year-old suffered a grazed left hip and wrist injury, before quickly getting back on his bike and rejoining the peloton, after receiving medical attention from the race doctor.
He is in seventh place overall, two seconds behind race leader Vincenzo Nibali after stage four was won by Marcel Kittel.
Wednesday's stage begins in the Belgian city of Ypres and ends 155.5km away in Arenberg-Porte du Hainaut.
Thomas helped Froome to the Tour title in 2013 in spite of suffering a fractured pelvis in a fall during the opening stage.
And the Welshman, who came second the last time he was involved in a race over cobbles, says it will be "stressful" supporting his team-mate.
"When you've got to look after somebody it's totally different to racing for it yourself," said Thomas.

Officers said a 60-year-old man had been arrested in Widegates, near Looe, on suspicion of firearms offences.
Earlier, dozens of officers were involved in an armed manhunt for Derrel Weaver, who went missing following a "domestic" incident on Thursday night.
Police had warned people not to approach Mr Weaver, an Elvis impersonator.
In a statement, Devon and Cornwall Police said the 60-year-old man was arrested on land in Widegates shortly before 21:30 BST on Friday.
Two firearms were recovered nearby, the force said.
The man has been taken to hospital for a medical assessment as a precaution.
Police are not looking for anybody else in connection with the incident.
Mr Weaver was being sought after a domestic-related incident at his home, Higher Widlake Farm in Widegates.
Officers said it was unclear whether Mr Weaver was armed but it was a possibility as he is a licensed firearms owner.
There was a high police presence in the Widegates and wider Looe area throughout Friday, including firearms officers and trained local officers.
The nearby Trenode Church of England Primary School was closed as a precaution.
The school has 75 pupils.
While this episode in the story is now at a close, the chapter is not over for football - with the game still left facing crucial questions.
The continuing debate surrounding Evans' future has not contributed anything positive to the overall image of English football, his former club Sheffield United or Oldham Athletic.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan followed the story as it developed and says: "No potential signing I can remember in recent times has done more damage to the reputations of the national game or stirred such emotions.
"For many critics, Oldham's attempt to sign a convicted rapist in the face of unprecedented opposition proved that football is out of touch with modern values. It strengthens the view held by many that football puts results on the pitch before principles, and of a profound disconnect between club boardrooms and the public at large.
"With its reputation for tribalism, football sadly already has a reputation for bringing out the worst in certain sections of society. The vile threats that Oldham say their staff were subject to only reinforced that view."
There is plenty of evidence to suggest it has if Sheffield United seriously thought they could offer training facilities to Evans and Oldham Athletic attempt to sign him without believing it would create a corrosive reaction in many quarters.
Sheffield United's gesture was well-intended but naïve, while Oldham clearly felt they could ride against the rising tide of public opinion - to no avail.
And in the modern, commercially driven world of football - perhaps even more in the Football League where every penny counts - clubs showing an interest in Evans have also misjudged the mood of sponsors.
Dr Leah Donlan, lecturer in marketing at Manchester Business School, told BBC Sport: "Companies and brands seek to get involved in sponsoring football clubs for a variety of reasons, with three prominent ones being to enhance their image, to raise awareness and, particularly at low levels, to demonstrate a commitment to local communities.
"By sponsoring a football club, sponsors concede some control over their brand image to the club itself, as the way they are perceived becomes intertwined with the prevailing perceptions of the club.
"Based on these motivations, sponsors might threaten to withdraw their support for clubs who sign Ched Evans if they believe that the resulting image associations of the club do not fit with the way that they want their brand/company to be perceived."
Rehabilitation or rejection? Listen to a BBC Sportshour discussion on the contrasting cases of convicted rapists Mike Tyson and Ched Evans
The Football Association has admitted it was powerless to intervene in Evans' playing future.
But FA chairman Greg Dyke has hinted moves are now on the agenda to introduce a code of conduct or strict guidelines to be applied should similar cases arise in future in line with its review of public and private communications, as well as behaviour.
Evans would be unable to return to certain professions as a convicted rapist and this is where it appears the FA is now preparing to tighten up its own jurisdiction.
BBC sports editor Dan Roan says: "Ultimately, it should be for the FA to dictate what crimes - if any - prevent a footballer from resuming their careers after serving their time. The statement by FA chairman Greg Dyke that rule changes may be forthcoming is a welcome admission that such a storm cannot be allowed to happen again.
"This week I saw an Oldham board director close to tears as he tried to make sense of the furore the club found itself in and the threats his staff were subject to. Never again can it be left to the clubs to make such an emotionally charged decision."
Since Evans was released from prison, the PFA's stance is that it is supporting a member of its organisation who is now free to return to his employment.
When Sheffield United withdrew training facilities amid a public outcry the PFA stated: "We do not agree that society should impose different rules for footballers which go beyond the position of law."
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor has continued to be part of the supporting cast surrounding Evans - and whether it meets with public approval or not, the position adopted is one of a union backing one of its members.
Taylor has been forced to navigate the difficult journey between supporting a PFA member's attempt to return to employment in the game, while ensuring he did not do anything to offend sections of public opinion or in any way appear to be an apologist for Evans.
One of the game's most experienced and high-profile administrators - he has run the PFA since 1981 - he appeared to have done this successfully until he linked the Evans case with the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.
No-one with any knowledge of Taylor would suggest these words were designed to cause offence. This appeared more a case of ill-judgement as opposed to malice, words for which he swiftly apologised but words that carried even more resonance as the Hillsborough inquests continue.
Ian Prior, head of sport at the Guardian and Observer, told BBC Radio 5 live: "It betrayed, at best, a tenuous grasp of reality, not to mention good taste."
Barry Devonside, who lost his son at Hillsborough, called Taylor "foolhardy", adding: "He really needs to connect brain with mouth."
The return of Evans to the game and the nation's consciousness has thrust Taylor firmly into the spotlight - but it is unlikely that verbal slip will have any impact on his job at the PFA.
When Sheffield United agreed to allow Evans to train with them - an offer swiftly retracted after they said reaction to the decision "was at an intensity that could not have been anticipated" - the Football League made its position clear in a statement. The situation remains unchanged.
The statement read: "Should the Football League receive a request from any of its member clubs to register the player, we will have no option but to accept it - assuming that all other aspects of the proposed registration are in order.
"Ultimately the choice of whether to engage a player that has been released from a custodial sentence will be one for individual clubs who, having ensured that the player has the required permission from the probation service to work in football, will have to make their own assessment of the potential consequences for their public reputation and business affairs, as well as the relationship they have with their own supporters."
The Football League added that at a meeting of their board earlier in the season, it considered the implications for football's reputation of clubs employing players following their release from prison.
The board has asked its independent directors to consider the matter further before reporting back to the board at a future meeting and then the clubs at an appropriate point.
His career will be restricted to the United Kingdom as confirmed when a recent link to Hibernians of Malta was dismissed, not only by the club but more significantly by the Ministry Of Justice.
The Ministry explained that strict conditions imposed on sex offenders "effectively rules out working abroad".
A spokesperson said: "We are determined to have one of the toughest regimes in the world for managing sex offenders, to stop them re-offending and to protect victims.
"Probation officers must give permission for sex offenders on licence to take up new jobs and this includes ensuring they hold regular face-to-face meetings. This effectively rules out working abroad. The offenders will be subject to strict conditions such as exclusion zones, non-contact orders and having to attend sex offender treatment programmes."
Every time he has been linked with a return to football, the reaction towards the club involved has been incendiary.
Sheffield United quickly withdrew their offer to allow Evans to train, Hartlepool hastily backed away from manager Ronnie Moore's suggestion he would consider a deal, and Oldham come closest to completing a transfer.
It is naïve in the extreme to suggest clubs who have kept any potential interest secret so far would not have watched developments and taken note of the adverse reaction and publicity.
Oldham owner Simon Corney revealed three Premier League managers had been in touch to offer support, while Hull City manager Steve Bruce (one of that three) questioned the conviction of Evans and said he should be allowed to play again.
BBC Sport contacted clubs in League One and Two for their stance on whether they would sign Evans. Including Oldham, 12 clubs in League One ruled out the possibility of signing the former Wales international, while the remaining 36 either said they did not wish to comment or did not respond at all.
On this evidence, and given the events at Oldham this week, it would be appear only a brave, desperate or particularly thick-skinned club would now pursue a deal for the 26-year-old.
The reality suggests more of the same instant acrimony that engulfed Sheffield United and Oldham.
It is almost impossible to see how the situation would be any different, even though he has now apologised "for the effects" of his actions in 2011 while continuing to maintain his innocence over his rape conviction.
When the Blades considered an offer, shirt sponsors DBL Logistics threatened to end involvement with the club, while Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill said she would want her name removed from a Bramall Lane stand should he sign. They weren't alone. More than 165,000 people signed a petition lobbying against a deal.
Oldham encountered a similar reaction, while a club director told BBC sports editor Dan Roan a staff member was informed a named relative would be raped if the deal went ahead.
Evans himself blamed "mob rule" and "the more radical elements of our society" for placing pressure on sponsors.
An international striker, available on a free transfer, only 26. Perfect for most clubs in the January transfer window - unless that striker is convicted rapist Ched Evans.
Evans started his career at Manchester City but could not break through, leaving after scoring one goal in 16 appearances, and signed for Sheffield United in a £3m deal in July 2009 after a loan spell at Norwich City.
The promise he had shown in spells was fulfilled at Bramall Lane, where he scored 42 goals in 113 appearances - a highly respectable record. He won 13 Wales caps, scoring one goal, but fell short of the standards required in the Premier League.
Instead, following his release from prison, his attempts to return to the game have failed amid such unrest, ill-feeling and emotion, and it is difficult to see where he will emerge next. Talented - but not, it seems, worth the baggage any attempt to sign him will bring.
Dramatic video footage broadcast by Russian TV shows the rocket break up before exploding into a fireball over the Baikonur cosmodrome.
Russia's Interfax news agency reported that up to 500 tonnes of poisonous rocket fuel may have been released and contaminated the crash site.
There were no reported injuries.
The rocket was carrying three satellites for Russia's Glonass (global) navigation satellite system.
It is not yet clear what caused the accident.
It is not the first incident involving a Proton-M rocket, according to the BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow.
A similar rocket crashed shortly after it was launched six years ago, and in 2010 another rocket failed to put three navigation satellites into orbit.

Foreign Secretary William Hague released details of 18 crimes diplomatic staff have been accused of.
Staff from the Saudi Arabian mission have been suspected of human trafficking and sexual assault.
Nigerian diplomatic staff were accused of actual bodily harm. A Cameroonian allegedly neglected a young person.
A member of the Pakistani embassy was accused of making threats to kill.
Staff with diplomatic immunity from 10 different embassies were caught drink driving, including an employee from the US mission.
The offences are only alleged to have been committed because the immunity means they could not be proved in a court of law.
'Ludicrous'
Some 25,000 people living in the UK have diplomatic immunity.
It is a principle of international law by which certain foreign government officials and their families are protected from criminal jurisdiction, arrest or detention.
Formalised by the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, immunity is intended to help consulate staff do their jobs more easily.
Green Party London Assembly Member Jenny Jones said: "I think it's time for the Foreign Office to renegotiate the terms of diplomatic immunity.
"It seems ludicrous that so many people get away with so many crimes."
A Victim Support spokeswoman said: "Victims and witnesses want justice to be done and to be seen to be done.
"If a decision is made not to prosecute someone the reasons need to be made clear to the victim."
Mr Hague has not made any comment on the issue.
The government also revealed that embassies in London owe more than £36m in unpaid congestion charges since the charge was set up in 2003.
The worst offender, the US, owes in excess of £3.8m.
A spokeswoman for the Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "Three-quarters of all foreign missions already pay the Congestion Charge.
"Transport for London continues to press any non-paying embassies to live up to their obligations to their host city and pay the charge."

According to the Sunday Times, Moscow and Beijing have deciphered documents stolen by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The government source told the BBC the countries "have information" that led to agents being moved but added there was "no evidence" any had been harmed.
Mr Snowden leaked data two years ago.
The former CIA contractor, now living in Russia, left the US in 2013 after leaking details of extensive internet and phone surveillance by American intelligence to the media.
His information made international headlines in June 2013 when the Guardian newspaper reported that the US National Security Agency was collecting the telephone records of tens of millions of Americans.
Mr Snowden is believed to have downloaded 1.7 million secret documents before he left the US.
The government source said the information obtained by Russia and China meant that "knowledge of how we operate" had stopped the UK getting "vital information".
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said the problem for UK authorities was not only the direct consequence that agents had been moved, but also the opportunity cost of those agents no longer being in locations where they were doing useful work.
The phrases "neither confirm nor deny" and "no comment on intelligence matters" is being used by government to respond to Sunday Times' story.
But my understanding from conversations over an extended period is that since he fled two years ago, British intelligence have worked on the assumption that Russian and Chinese spies might have access to his full cache of secrets.
Snowden has always maintained that there is no way that other states could do this but the spies are likely to have thought it too risky to take the chance. In turn, this may have led to undercover agents being moved as a precaution.
Snowden himself would not have had access though to any kind of database of MI6 agents but the fear might have been that by piecing together any secrets on how such agents communicate that were in the files, the Russians and Chinese might have been able to identify them.
However, no one in government today is confirming that they are sure that the Russians and Chinese have got full access - that remains in the realm of "no comment".
Intelligence officials have long warned of what they see as the dangers of the information leaked by Mr Snowden and its potential impact on keeping people in the UK safe - a concern Prime Minister David Cameron has said he shares.
According to the Sunday Times, Western intelligence agencies have been forced to pull agents out of "hostile countries" after "Moscow gained access to more than one million classified files" held by Mr Snowden.
"Senior government sources confirmed that China had also cracked the encrypted documents, which contain details of secret intelligence techniques and information that could allow British and American spies to be identified," the newspaper added.
Tim Shipman, who co-wrote the Sunday Times story, told the BBC: "Snowden said 'nobody bad has got hold of my information'.
"Well, we are told authoritatively by people in Downing Street, in the Home Office, in the intelligence services that the Russians and the Chinese have all this information and as a result of that our spies are having to pull people out of the field because their lives are in danger.
"People in government are deeply frustrated that this guy has been able to put all this information out there."
The newspaper quoted Sir David Omand, former director of UK intelligence agency GCHQ, saying the fact Russia and China had the information was a "huge strategic setback" that was "harming" to Britain, the US and their Nato allies.
The former head of the Navy and current Labour peer Admiral Lord West called Mr Snowden a "traitor", saying it was now much harder to monitor terrorists and criminals.
Professor Anthony Glees, of the University of Buckingham's Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies, said the leaking of the documents had been "very, very damaging".
He told the BBC: "From the documents that Snowden has, it will be possible to identify those very brave people in countries where if you spy for Britain you get killed.
"There may even be names inadvertently included... Edward Snowden is not only a villain, he's a villain of the first order."
But, the director of Liberty, Shami Chakrabarti, said that if Mr Snowden had been pardoned in the US "for doing what many in the United States (consider) to be a public service in revealing the sheer extent of mass surveillance, he wouldn't have needed to go to Russia".
It comes two days after the UK's terrorism watchdog David Anderson QC published a review into terrorism legislation, which was set up amid public concerns about surveillance sparked by Mr Snowden's revelations.
He said the country needed clear new laws about the powers of security services to monitor online activity and concluded that the current situation was "undemocratic, unnecessary and - in the long run - intolerable".
Former Conservative cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell told BBC Radio 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics that the timing of the story was "no accident".
"This debate in Britain between individual liberty and collective security comes into very sharp focus as a result of the Anderson report, and that is why [The Sunday Times' Tim Shipman] has got his very good exclusive today."
Asked if it was part of a propaganda drive by the government, he replied: "Well, there is a big debate going on, you know," adding: "Anderson is going to be a very important part of that".
Like it or not, he said, Snowden had directly engendered "a massive change of view about the debate" in the US.
Meanwhile, civil liberties campaigner David Davis - also a Conservative MP - told the Guardian the story should be treated with "a pinch of salt".
"You can see they have been made nervous by Anderson. We have not been given any facts, just assertions," he said of the government.
The government is preparing new legislation to give police and agencies more tools to monitor online communications data, saying this is necessary to fight terrorism.
Previous attempts were blocked by the Lib Dems in coalition, and critics say the plans amount to a "snoopers' charter".
The Owls are ninth in the Championship after picking up just one point in their last three games.
Wednesday signed midfielders Almen Abdi, Adam Reach, David Jones and Will Buckley and striker Steven Fletcher in the summer.
"We are giving time to them. I still believe we have very good players," Carvalhal told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"I don't want to criticise and I'm not disappointed in anybody, but I expected a little more from them.
"Some of them have had problems, like Fletcher, who has missed some games from kicks to the head.
"We are in the first part of the season and I think with more chances and the team in a better position then the players will do better in the future."
Swiss international Abdi, 30, joined from Premier League side Watford for a reported fee of £3m in July.
He has not started a game since 19 October, but Carvalhal says he will not be allowed to leave on loan in January.
"My job is to choose the players that are the best to win a game from the way they are performing during the week," the Portuguese said.
"We don't consider Almen leaving at all. We believe in him. We want him to perform well and so does he."

Highland Lodge, under Henry Brooke, was bidding to become the first back-to-back winner of the race.
The 2016 Grand National runner-up, The Last Samuri, finished third.
Elsewhere, the Willie Mullins-trained Un De Sceaux held off Sire De Grugy to claim the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.
The eight-year-old looked to have squandered the lead only to rally under jockey Ruby Walsh and deny Sire De Grugy a record-equalling third Tingle Creek victory.

It will be one of those races remembered more for the near-miss defeat than the victory.
Of course, Vieux Lion Rouge did well, but the principal memory will be of Highland Lodge and his jockey Henry Brooke in second.
Last year's winner, right up there throughout, looked all set to become the first to be successful in back-to-back stagings - and give his rider a fairytale return from serious injury - before being caught close to the finish.
The first two and third-placed The Last Samuri, gallant under a big weight, are all set to re-oppose in the 2017 Grand National on 8 April.
Another set to be there is Many Clouds, the 2015 winner, who impressed in winning the Listed Chase, also at Aintree on Saturday.
The 15-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene in Glacier Way, Alperton, west London, on Thursday night.
He had been riding a "self-balancing scooter" at the time of the crash, Scotland Yard said.
The boy has yet to be formally identified, and a post-mortem examination will be carried out in due course, police said.

Her entry on the national stage came very suddenly, when she was the surprise choice as running mate to Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain.
Until then, the 47-year-old self-described "hockey mom" had only served two years as governor of Alaska. Her previous job was mayor of a small town.
By the end of the campaign, Mrs Palin had emerged as one of the Republican Party's most recognisable faces, drawing huge crowds and energising supporters.
She returned to Alaska after the election, but in July 2009 surprised many by announcing that she was stepping down as governor two years early.
The decision sparked speculation that Mrs Palin was preparing to make a bid for the White House in 2012, but the move never materalised.
Since the 2008 election, Mrs Palin has signed a number of lucrative television deals, published two best-selling books, set up a successful fund-raising machine, and championed the grassroots Tea Party movement.
In the November 2010 midterm elections, the self-styled "mama grizzly" endorsed more than 60 candidates, about half of whom were elected.
Sarah Heath Palin - a former local beauty queen - was born in 1964 in Sandpoint, Idaho. Her family moved to Alaska shortly afterwards to take up teaching positions there.
She graduated from the University of Idaho in 1987, having studied journalism and political science.
Married for more than 20 years, she gave birth to her fifth child in 2008 - a son who has Down's syndrome.
Before being elected Alaska state governor, she served on the city council of Wasilla, which is outside Anchorage, and was its mayor from 1996 to 2002.
Mrs Palin is used to breaking new ground.
In 2006, she became the first woman and the youngest person to be elected Alaska's state governor.
Two years later, when Senator McCain made her his running mate, she became the first woman to sit on the Republican presidential ticket.
Her energetic, down-to-earth style - she described herself as "just an average hockey mom" - helped rally support behind him.
An opponent of abortion and a life member of the National Rifle Association, Mrs Palin reinvigorated the party's conservative base with a strong performance at the Republican National Convention.
But the McCain campaign was soon accused of failing to vet her adequately.
The news of her unmarried 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy dominated the opening days of the convention.
Mrs Palin was also revealed to be under investigation by state lawmakers over alleged abuse of power.
An inquiry by an investigator hired by the Alaskan state legislature determined that she had violated ethics rules by pressing to have her former brother-in-law dismissed.
An independent investigator hired by the state personnel board later cleared her.
Gaffe-filled interviews were seized on by critics as evidence that she was not up to the job.
In one she cited Alaska's proximity to Russia as evidence of her foreign policy credentials; in another she appeared unsure of the vice-president's role.
It was all catnip to primetime comedians, and some members of her own party rounded on her.
Her rallies, nonetheless, continued to attract large crowds of Republican supporters.
In the wake of the presidential election, there were a series of disputes between her and Mr McCain's advisers.
Reports emerged that more than $300,000 had been spent on clothes, accessories and stylists for Mrs Palin and her family.
Alaskan officials said Mrs Palin owed back-taxes on nearly $18,000 in expenses she had charged the state for living in her home outside Anchorage.
She agreed to reimburse the state nearly $7,000 for costs associated with nine trips taken by her children.
Mrs Palin also found the state legislature increasingly hostile, and by the time she stepped down as governor no new major bills had been passed in seven months. Opponents had filed several ethics complaints against her.
Since stepping down, her political action committee, SarahPAC, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Mrs Palin also has a lucrative career as a public speaker and was paid a $1.25m retainer by the publisher HarperCollins.
She became a Fox News contributor - a contract reportedly worth $1m annually - and hosted an eight-part television series called Sarah Palin's Alaska.
Her autobiography, Going Rogue, sold nearly three million copies. Her second book, America by Heart, was published in November 2010 and became the fifth best-selling non-fiction book of that year.
After a lone gunman shot Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, Arizona, in January 2011, Mrs Palin's critics tried to blame her.
Her political action committee had drawn cross-hairs on a map to metaphorically target Democratic lawmakers who had voted for President Barack Obama's healthcare bill.
Then her "One Nation" bus tour and two trips to the vital caucus state of Iowa in 2011 stoked speculation about possible presidential ambitions, but she declined to run.
Mrs Palin remains popular with Tea Party activists, but her popularity with rank-and-file Republicans has waned.
She launched her own online news network - the Sarah Palin Channel - in 2014, but it was shuttered about a year later.
But her comeback to politics was sealed in Iowa when presidential candidate Donald Trump invited her on stage as his high-profile supporter.
"Are you ready to stump for Trump?" was her cry to cheering supporters.
The way she energised the crowd, dominated the news cycle and dismayed the campaign team of Mr Trump's rival Ted Cruz suggests she has lost none of her political stardust.
Work on New Hall Lane begins on Monday and is funded by the 10-year City Deal scheme for works in Lancashire, South Ribble and Preston, Lancashire County Council said.
The area between Mosley Street and Acregate Lane will get wider footways and a larger crossing in the centre of the shopping area.
The revamp is expected to be completed early next year.
Trees will be planted during the first stage and road junctions will be changed towards the end of the project,
More parking spaces will be added and cycle routes are to be upgraded.
The council hopes the work will make the area more attractive to investors and visitors.
The man appealed to the Austrian Constitutional Court when a lower court rejected his proposed name change.
The man's grandfather changed his name from "Zebra" in the 1950s. "Zebra" had been the family name for centuries, so reverting to it was quite legal, the Constitutional Court ruled.
The lower court had argued that "Zebra" was a non-Austrian invented name.
In that earlier ruling, a judge said "Zebra" could only refer to "a type of horse living in the African savannah".
Some other animal names would have been acceptable, as they already existed in Austrian official records, he argued. He gave as examples the family names "Fuchs" (meaning fox), "Biber" (beaver) and "Strauss" (ostrich).
The last family member with the name "Zebra" died in 1991 - a great-uncle of the plaintiff. The plaintiff's current name was not disclosed.
The Constitutional Court judgement (in German) says the "Zebra" case was considered by 12 court lawyers and vice-president Brigitte Bierlein.
In September a prominent French politician, ex-minister Rachida Dati, was embroiled in a row about her daughter's name Zohra.
She reacted angrily after journalist Eric Zemmour argued that the name Zohra was "less French", because it did not come from an official list of French Christian names.
In 1993 France abolished a Napoleonic law that limited parents' name choices for their children.
Accounts for 1st Land Ltd, run by Howard Grossman, show the money was paid to Tottenham Hotspur.
The police are investigating the firm over "alleged financial irregularities" over the £10.25m for the revamp.
A spokesman for Mr Grossman said he did not wish to comment.
Northampton Borough Council loaned Northampton Town £10.25m to redevelop the East stand at Sixfields but the work was never completed.
Much of the money was passed on to the developers, 1st Land Ltd.
There is no evidence money from the council's loan (agreed in September 2013) ended up being spent on the Spurs tickets and hospitality, as 1st Land Ltd did receive a fraction of its financing from another source.
A BBC investigation into 1st Land Ltd has found the company director Howard Grossman and members of his family flew on a private VIP jet with members of the Tottenham Hotspur first team to watch a European match in Portugal in March 2014.
The bank accounts indicate three payments were made between November 2013 and June 2014 to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club of £4,320 for tickets, and other payments to the club for £31,140, and £588.
The top price corporate hospitality at Spurs currently costs £26,000. It includes tickets and access to "fly with the VIPs".
Mr Grossman, director of 1st Land Ltd, and owner of the County Group, is pictured on social media at a European game at Benfica in 2014.
Also on the trip is son Hayden, a director in County Group companies, who is pictured on the VIP jet with one of the Spurs stars. It flew from Stansted's VIP terminal. Hayden Grossman also went on a VIP trip to Turkey in December 2014.
In a statement, Howard Grossman has previously said it would not be appropriate to comment "while official investigations are taking place".
In February, the BBC revealed claims made in court documents in an action between the football club and Howard Grossman and others, that millions of pounds of the loan money had been misappropriated. The claim was settled out of court.
The BBC later revealed how some of the money appeared to have been diverted to finance a string of unconnected planning applications by Mr Grossman and his associates.
At the time Mr Grossman said there was no evidence of misappropriation, describing the allegations as "outrageous and false".
Apart from the police investigation, two separate inquiries are looking into the way the borough council made the loan to Northampton Town Football Club.
A spokesman for Howard Grossman said: "We have no comment to make at this juncture. As we have made clear previously, our client is not prepared to have a 'trial by media' and at present it simply is not appropriate to respond to your further questions whilst official investigations are ongoing."
The BBC has been unable to contact Hayden Grossman.
The White Tigers have lost four successive league games, having not got a victory since 19 November, and have slumped to 16th in the division, two points above the relegation places.
"It is worrying because we've got to get those points on the board as quickly as possible," Hodges said.
"We've been in every game that we've played in and at times we've dominated.
"We have to make that domination count and put teams to bed, because we are creating chances," he added to BBC Radio Cornwall.
City, who parted company with player-coach Rory Fallon and former Torquay full-back Durrell Berry last month, have signed Gulls youngster Charlie Duke on a one-month loan.
But Hodges says he is hopeful of bringing more players to Treyew Road during the transfer window:
"The aim is to hopefully add to the squad that we've got at the moment by the end of the weekend.
"I will keep persevering to try and get some lads in to help the boys we have already."
Healy's men are five points behind champions Crusaders in the two-horse race for the league crown.
After a major scare against strugglers Ballinamallard last time out, Healy wants a convincing display at Milltown.
"The boys are on a good run and are upbeat but it will be tough at Warrenpoint," said Healy.
"They are fighting for their lives and after beating Portadown they will want to go into their post-split fixtures on a high.
"It is still in Crusaders' hands as far as the title is concerned.
"They had a sizeable lead and we have managed to reduce that. It is all to play for."
Warrenpoint may still be bottom of the Premiership table, but Barry Gray's men have been on a fine run and, with four home games after the split, will fancy their chances of scrambling clear of the relegation places.
"We are happy to be going into the split games in touch with a number of teams," said Town boss Gray.
"We have a massive four weeks ahead of us.
"Linfield is obviously a huge game. They have had a couple of extra days to recover and it will be difficult to get anything out of the game."
It is a case of the top two playing the bottom two in the league on Tuesday, as leaders Crusaders face one-from-bottom Ballinamallard United.
Mallards boss Whitey Anderson will have been heartened by his team's unlucky 2-1 defeat at Linfield on Thursday and the Crues will be aware the trip to Fermanagh could prove tricky, having salvaged a 1-1 draw there with a late goal in October.
"We have to deal with the pressure as it comes along, as do Linfield," said Crues manager Stephen Baxter.
"Ballinamallard will be difficult, then we have the Irish Cup semi-final and after that it is Linfield.
"So the big games keep coming."
Danny Wallis, 29, was discovered in Clarence Row, Gravesend after police were called to the property at about 19:45 BST on Sunday.
His family said he had been "taken away from us too soon".
Travis Smith, 23, of no fixed address, has been charged with murder and was remanded by magistrates to appear at Maidstone Crown Court on Friday.
In a statement, Mr Wallis's father, Steve, stepmother Sue and brother Joe, said: "Danny always made time to help people out where he could and never had any qualms about it."
They added he will be "missed by many".
Police and paramedics were called to Westlands Caravan Park in Canterbury Road, Herne Bay, Kent, following reports of an attack at about 14:00 BST.
Officers said "a woman aged in her late teens" was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 63-year-old local man, known to the victim, is being held in custody.
The peacock, which villagers have named Kevin, has become a talking point in Breadsall parish council meetings since it appeared in the village last summer.
Villagers have placed adverts online to try to find the bird's owners, so far without success.
While some have welcomed the bird into their gardens, others have accused him of making "mischief".
One resident, Marilyn Balsom, said she heard a neighbour had become trapped in the village's Memorial Hall by the bird.
"The person was trying to leave and Kevin wouldn't let them out," she said. "You do hear other reports of him causing mischief."
Mrs Balsom described the bird as "absolutely beautiful".
"One morning in March, he walked right the way up our driveway, proud as anything," she said. "He was investigating the bird feeder, which is meant for much smaller birds than him.
"He has enormous tail feathers. He's probably the biggest peacock I've ever seen. It's a mystery how he arrived in the village, though."
Mrs Balsom said her husband had tried placing an advert on a lost pets website to try to find Kevin's owners, but so far had had no response.
Another resident, Linda Morris, said Kevin had been discussed at parish council meetings.
"He's a bit of a danger on the road because he seems to wander wherever he feels," she said.
"We have tried to catch him a couple of times so he can be properly looked after. Last summer there were about five of us chasing him, including the local policeman.
"We got very very close to him at the school and then, all of a sudden, he jumped over a wall and into the next-door garden and that was it."
Vice-Minister of Hospitals Luis López has been appointed to take over, according to state media.
The ministry's report showed the number of women dying in childbirth had risen by 65%, while child deaths were up 30%.
The national figures were released after almost two years without official data.
They also showed a jump in illnesses such as malaria and diphtheria.
The report reflects the country's deep economic crisis, which the opposition says is the result of government mismanagement.
President Nicolas Maduro argues that the health crisis is caused by medicines being hoarded to encourage a coup against him.
Venezuelans face shortages of everything, from food to vaccines, and this has provoked big protests in the country.
NGOs and international bodies have also expressed concern that the country is detaining citizens and processing their cases behind closed doors, via the military.
The government has kept quiet on the issue, but, on Thursday, President Maduro said protesters who attack military bases would face military proceedings.
"The right and basic guarantees of due process no longer exist in Venezuela from the moment a civilian is forced to appear before a military court," said Luis Almagro, the secretary general of the Organisation of American States (OAS), on Monday.
Venezuela announced its withdrawal from the OAS last month, accusing the US-based group of meddling in its affairs.
Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world but the collapse of oil prices a few years ago led to a recession and a shortage of the foreign currency needed to import equipment, food and medicines.
Almost 40 people have died in protest-related violence since the demonstrations began last month.
The country's opposition has arranged a grandparent's protest on Friday, which will see elderly Venezuelans marching to the office of the people's ombudsman in Caracas.
Participants say their state benefits do not cover food and medicine. They also say they are demonstrating for their grandchildren and the younger generation at large.
In a recent survey, three-quarters of Venezuelans said their health had plummeted, and that they were eating fewer than two meals a day. Many reported losing an average of about 9kg (19lb).
In the health sector, large numbers of doctors have emigrated. A leading pharmaceutical association has said about 85% of medicines are in short supply.
Among those dreaming of a tie with a Football League side are the paralysed footballer who bought his former club, an ex-Premier League striker taking his first steps in management and a team that has not played a home game in more than 3,000 days.
BBC Sport looks at the stories of some of the clubs involved in this weekend's second qualifying round.
Having just broken into his hometown club's first team and been put forward for England schools trials, George Dowell appeared to be at the start of a promising career as a footballer.
But, at the age of 17, that was cruelly taken from him when a car crash in 2010 left him paralysed from the chest down.
It was a devastating blow, but one that Dowell would not let get the better of him and, despite his condition, he was determined to remain involved in football.
So he did, by buying the club he once played for.
"I am enjoying it," said Dowell, a former defender for non-league side Worthing FC.
"It is busy but being chairman of the club gives me a purpose and it is all good fun at the moment."
Dowell is now 22 - making him one of the youngest owners in the world - but the progression from his accident to buying Worthing FC was not easy.
He had been the passenger in a friend's car when it came off the road on the way back from a fast food restaurant, crashing into a field.
Dowell cannot remember much about the accident itself, instead waking up in hospital to be told he would never walk again.
"I broke my spine," he added. "It was hard to come to terms with my situation to start with.
"There were some long days and it was not great, but I have great friends and family and they helped me come through it."
During his 10 months in hospital, he and his friends made plans to start a football team when he returned home, but such talk was put on hold while he underwent rehabilitation.
"I wasn't in the right frame of mind to do it straight away," said Dowell. "However, around 18 months ago I asked a few of my mates if they were still interested in getting a team together and they said yes, so we did it."
Creating a team with his friends was his first foray back into football, but soon after he learned that his former club Worthing FC was struggling financially.
With debts of £200,000 - and £6,000 a day needed just to keep the Isthmian League Division One South club's doors open - Dowell, who had received a payout from the driver's insurers, decided to act.
"I had read in the local newspaper in November last year that Worthing were struggling financially and I still knew some guys at the club," he said.
"I spoke to them about it and they set me up with a meeting with the people in charge at the time. It went from there really."
All the debts are now paid off and the club is making a profit but Dowell's input has not stopped there.
Since taking over in April, he has overseen a complete revamp of the club's 4,000 capacity Woodside Road ground, the crown jewel being the installation of a state-of-the-art 3G pitch.
"It is no longer just open on match days but seven days a week," Dowell adds. "The 3G pitch is fully booked from 5pm until 10pm every night and now we are just starting up a development centre for under eights and under 16s."
Dowell has now set his sights on overseeing success on the pitch in the long term.
"I have a five-year plan and that is to get promoted to the Conference South," he said. "That's two promotions and it would be the first time for the club to get to that level, which would be amazing."
On Saturday, they travel to Evo-Stik Southern Premier side St Neots Town in the FA Cup second qualifying round.
"You saw the magic of the FA Cup last year with some of the runs non-league teams went on," says Dowell.
"If you go on a long run then it really puts you on the map."
Hook Norton may be more famous for beer than football, but the Oxfordshire village's local team is looking to change that as they continue their historic FA Cup journey this weekend.
Located a stone's throw away from the village's brewery, Hook Norton FC - nicknamed the Brewery Boys - won their first FA Cup game in their 117-year history by beating Frimley Green 5-0 in the extra preliminary round on 15 August.
Since then, they have seen off Burnham and Eastbourne United to set-up a clash with National League side Weston-super-Mare.
It has the potential to be the upset of the round, with Hook Norton, from the 10th tier of English football, playing four divisions below their opponents.
"It is basically like a Conference team playing a Premier League team," said primary school teacher Joe Davies, Hook Norton's 26-year-old manager.
"That is the enormity of the game and to welcome a club of Weston-super-Mare's size is massive for us."
To say Hook Norton are minnows would be an understatement. With a population of 2,000, the entire village could fit inside Weston-super-Mare's 3,500 capacity stadium with plenty of room to spare.
"It has brought the village together," added Davies.
"Our U12s are going to be mascots and the U17s will be car park attendants, while the village shop is providing our food for the whole weekend.
"The brewery called us the other day to say they will send a couple of crates of beer down. It is a really exciting time."
For a club of Hook Norton's size, the financial rewards of an FA Cup run are massive. So far, they have earned £7,000 in prize money. Win this weekend and a further £4,500 will be coming their way.
Davies, though, is wary of lessons learned from several clubs from the professional ranks who have ended up spending beyond their means, only to fall upon hard times.
"I am not a manager who is going to blow 700 quid on a player," he added. "It goes back into the club.
"The players deserve the plaudits for winning the games but behind the scenes there are a lot of hard-working people.
"This FA Cup run is such a reward for their hard work and they deserve all the credit they can get."
Gloucester City kick off their FA Cup campaign when they host Kidlington on Sunday but, for the ninth season in a row, they will not actually be playing 'at home'.
Since 2007 they have been playing at the stadiums of other teams after a flood left their Meadow Park ground almost completely submerged in water.
"It was devastating," remembers Tim Harris, the current manager who was also in charge of the team eight years ago.
"Within three or four hours the water was up to the goalposts."
Since 2010, they have played their home games at Cheltenham Town's Whaddon Road - located 12 miles away from Gloucester - but were given a boost in October last year when plans for a new stadium at Meadow Park was given the go-ahead by the local council.
A significant step taken in their bid to return home, it was a massive boost for the club and its fans.
A year, on however, it is still not clear when exactly Gloucester City will finally be able to give up their nomadic existence. Some 'technical issues' with their application for full planning permission earlier this year led to a delay in work being able to start on their new stadium.
"It has been moving slowly, but we will get there," added Harris.
"What we need is a good cup run. That would help revitalise the club."
Scoring in the FA Cup on his return to football following a near-fatal motorcycle accident was a special moment for Matt Jansen.
The former Blackburn striker got two goals in a third-round tie in 2003 as Rovers won 4-1 at Aston Villa. A remarkable achievement, given that just five months earlier he had been in a coma following the crash in Italy.
Now Jansen is hoping to recreate that winning feeling in the FA Cup once again - this time as manager of Conference North side Chorley.
Jansen, now 35, took his first steps into football management earlier this year when he moved up from assistant after previous manager Garry Flitcroft - the ex-Blackburn Rovers captain - resigned to spend more time with his family and his business.
"I'd been concentrating on my coaching badges, so it came out of the blue a little bit," said Jansen, who had been Flitcroft's right-hand man at the club since 2010.
"However, when I was offered the chance I was delighted. I get less time on the golf course now and my handicap is suffering, but I wouldn't swap it for the world."
Jansen also played for Crystal Palace and Bolton in the Premier League and worked under the likes of Terry Venables, Graeme Souness and Sam Allardyce during his playing days. He has tried to incorporate the best of their management styles into the way he works at Chorley.
"You wouldn't want to cross Graeme Souness, but he was a good guy too," added Jansen.
"Sam Allardyce was another guy you wouldn't want to anger, but at the same time he was a funny guy and he knew how to get the best out of you.
"I try to take the best from all of them, but I am not a ranter and raver. Generally I prefer to talk to my players on an individual basis and get the best from them that way."
The injury Jansen suffered in 2002 while on holiday in Italy prevented him from building on the heights he had reached in the early part of his career.
But his time at the top had seen him develop some useful contacts in the game and that set him up well for the world of management.
"I live next door to Wigan boss Gary Caldwell and he said if I ever need players, to let him know," Jansen said.
"I also know Uwe Rosler at Leeds and Simon Grayson at Preston. It is good to have these contacts because it is a long season and injuries can set in."
With five wins from the last eight games, things are going well for Chorley and Jansen.
Next up is Frickley Athletic in the FA Cup on Saturday. Having enjoyed cup success during his playing career, Jansen is hoping to be able to inspire his Chorley players to pull off a surprise or two in this year's competition.
"I scored when Blackburn beat Tottenham to win the 2002 League Cup," Jansen said. "I only mention it about two or three times a week to the lads.
"It should be good for the players, though. Doing well in the FA Cup can really raise the profile of the club and hopefully we can do that this season."
The move is among changes to public procurement rules being proposed by the Scottish government.
The Procurement Reform Bill aims to improve the way the public sector buys goods, works and services.
Ministers said it would make it easier for small firms to bid for contracts.
Guidance under the bill would allow public sector bosses to consider the inappropriateness of awarding contracts to companies using controversial zero-hours contracts, which allow employers to hire staff with no guarantee of work.
Public sector bosses could also consider, when deciding on a contract award, whether firms use blacklisting.
The issue of blacklisting has angered unions and politicians, following disclosures about a UK-wide database of names used by major construction firms to vet workers.
Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the legislation promoted an approach that was "both business friendly and socially responsible".
The proposed new rules could also lead to greater use of community benefit clauses.
These clauses could require companies to provide training, apprenticeships or opportunities for disabled people as part of the contract.
"Changes to public procurement rules will ensure Scotland retains its place as a world leader in public procurement reform, promoting an approach that is both business friendly and socially responsible," Ms Sturgeon said.
Responding to the bill, Scottish Trades Union Congress general secretary Grahame Smith said: "The STUC enthusiastically welcomes parts of this important bill, especially its provisions to disqualify firms engaging in tax avoidance and blacklisting from the public procurement process and the commitment to introduce further guidance on workforce matters."
But Mr Smith described parts of the legislation as "very disappointing", adding: "It is difficult to believe that community benefits will be extended and improved by simply handing contracting authorities a duty to 'consider' whether to impose as part of the contract.
"The STUC is also sceptical that the significant additional requirements placed on local authorities and other contracting agencies will have 'no overall net impact on costs'."
Scottish Building Federation managing director Vaughan Hart welcomed the publication of the bill.
He said: "With a growing pipeline of publicly funded infrastructure projects planned over the years ahead, this bill offers the potential to transform the efficiency of public procurement - and to encourage many more particularly smaller building companies to bid for public sector contracts.
"We will look forward to scrutinising the detail in the months ahead."
CBI Scotland said the bill contained "a number of encouraging measures", but added that ministers risked missing out on an opportunity to open up the delivery of public services to independent providers.
Assistant director David Lonsdale added: "The bill should enshrine in legislation a 'right to bid' for private and third sector organisations, so that any provider who can demonstrate the capacity and wherewithal to deliver a public service more effectively, innovatively, and for better value is given the opportunity to do so."
A poll of 1,627 girls and young women showed they felt less powerful as they progressed through secondary school.
Only a third of the 17- to 21-year-olds questioned felt they would do as well as their male peers, against 90% of the nine- to 10-year-olds.
"It is our responsibility to change this," said Girlguiding Chief Executive Julie Bentley.
The young women interviewed were a representative sample and not necessarily connected with Girlguiding, says the charity.
The results show:
And only a quarter of the older group said they felt "powerful" compared with a third of 11- to 16-year-old girls.
Girlguiding says the data charts how girls' attitudes to themselves change as they become more aware of the barriers facing women in the workplace.
"This new research shows girls are lacking in confidence at an important stage in their lives when they are starting to think about the future, enter work or begin university," said Ms Bentley.
"As the UK's leading charity for girls and young women it's our responsibility to change this...
"Guiding builds girls' confidence and empowers them to take on leadership roles from the very earliest age - giving them the safe space and support they need to grow and develop their potential."
Girlguiding has enlisted leading female executives to mentor guides aged 14 to 17 from across the UK at a special camp in Bedfordshire this week.
Commercial director at high-speed rail company HS2, Beth West, said that by taking part she hoped "to inspire and encourage young women to feel there are no barriers to achieving their goals".
And Sevasti Wong, managing director at consultancy company Accenture, said it was crucial "to dispel the myth... that maths and science are too hard for girls".
Guide Sophie, 16, from Cambridge, said she hoped to develop confidence, leadership skills and resilience at the camp, while Emma, also 16, from Kilrea, said it would be a "fantastic opportunity to meet incredible women who have years of experience in leadership roles".
The full survey, carried out online by Childwise, will be published in September.
Separate research published today by the Association of Graduate Recruiters suggests female graduates are less likely to aim for top jobs than men but more likely to land them if they apply.
The former Swindon boss, who succeeds Jamie Fullarton, has initially been appointed until the end of the season and takes over with the team 19th.
"Should he get things moving in the right direction his deal will become permanent," said owner Ray Trew.
County are on 40 points, 13 above the relegation zone with 10 games left.
Fullarton was sacked after winning three of 12 games in 70 days as boss.
Cooper, 47, has been out of work since leaving League One side Swindon in October, just five months after they lost the play-off final at Wembley.
Trew has appointed Cooper despite agreeing to sell the Magpies to an American company less than 48 hours earlier.
"What we need now, as a club, is stability, as we look to resolve the change of ownership and that is why I have turned to Mark to bring his experience and knowledge to the club to help turn things around on the pitch," Trew told the club website.
"To be fair to Mark and to reward him, I have agreed a points total with him, which will remain confidential, at which point his deal will become permanent."
Cooper's first game in charge will be away to promotion-chasing Portsmouth, with a home game against Wycombe Wanderers following three days later when the new boss has the chance to end a seven-game winless run at Meadow Lane dating back to 12 December.
In the first measure of comparative pace between the two best teams in F1, Hamilton was only 0.228 seconds quicker than Vettel in third place.
Hamilton's team-mate Nico Rosberg was just 0.052secs quicker than Vettel.
The margins suggest Ferrari have indeed closed the gap on Mercedes over the winter, as was suspected.
However, it is still early days - the cars' true pace will not be seen for the first time until qualifying, which starts at 06:00 GMT.
The session will take place under new rules, with a modified elimination format and the slowest car knocked out every 90 seconds after the first half of each of the three sessions.

If Ferrari can maintain that margin, it bodes well for a championship battle between two teams in F1 for the first time since 2012, when Vettel, then at Red Bull, narrowly pipped Fernando Alonso, then at Ferrari.
Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was nearly 0.6secs behind the German - and was knocked down to fifth fastest time by Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz.
The Spaniard's team-mate Max Verstappen was sixth, ahead of the Williams of Valtteri Bottas and Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
And there was encouragement and definite progress from McLaren-Honda compared to their dismal 2015 as Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button set 11th and 12th fastest times, 1.6secs off the pace.
In terms of their deficit to the front, that is an improvement of a second compared to last year.
British novice Jolyon Palmer was 17th quickest for Renault, two places and just over 0.2secs behind team-mate and former McLaren driver Kevin Magnussen.
The new Haas team were 18th and 19th fastest, with Mexican Esteban Gutierrez pipping Frenchman Romain Grosjean.
Grosjean had a difficult start to the session when Manor's Indonesian novice Rio Haryanto collided with him as he was leaving his pit garage.
Grosjean missed the first half of the session as Haas changed his floor as a precaution.

The first fire was started at Herdman's Mill in Sion Mills on Friday and caused "substantial damage", police said.
A second, at about 20:30 BST on Saturday, caused further damage.
Celia Ferguson, whose family owned the Herdman's factory, said that historical documents dating back 170 years were destroyed in the blaze.
Mrs Ferguson described the attacks as "horrifying".
"We have amassed one of the biggest sets of industrial archives in the world and thankfully a lot of the documents have been removed for preservation over the past 20 years. We don't know at this stage the extent of the destruction because we can't get near the building but it doesn't look good."
The mill was previously targeted by arsonists in October last year.
A police spokesman appealed to the public to stay away from the building, which carries "health and safety concerns and a high risk of serious injury".
David Byrne, 33, was shot dead during a gun attack at a boxing weigh-in event at the Regency Hotel on Friday 5 February.
The funeral mass took place at St Nicholas of Myra Church on Francis Street.
Armed police maintained a discreet presence near the church throughout the service.
The shooting was carried out by a gang of six gunmen, one of whom is believed to be a paramilitary from County Tyrone.
Detectives believe that Mr Byrne was murdered in retaliation for the shooting of Gary Hutch on the Costa del Sol last September.
Before the service police carried out security checks in the area surrounding the church.
A police helicopter also circled overhead.
Mr Byrne is said to have had connections to an international drug gang which operates from the south of Spain.
Police have said they are keeping an open mind over suspected dissident republican involvement in the hotel killing.
The Daily Mail claimed that just £14,115 out of £1.7m donated to the Didier Drogba Foundation had gone to help causes in Africa.
Former Chelsea striker Drogba, 38, is threatening legal action and called the Mail's story "false and defamatory".
In a statement, the Ivorian said: "There is no fraud, no corruption, no mismanagement and no lies."
Drogba, who plays for Canadian Major League Soccer club Montreal Impact, accused the Mail journalists of "jeopardising the lives of many thousands of African children".
The Mail said it "stands by every word of this important story" and had not alleged corruption or fraud.
The Didier Drogba Foundation was launched in the UK in 2009 when the former Ivory Coast captain was playing for Chelsea.
The African charity is run in the Ivory Coast but is also registered in the UK.
In the article, the Mail claimed that £439,321 was spent putting on lavish fundraising parties attended by celebrities, and more than £1m languished in bank accounts.
But Drogba said he had spent his own sponsorship earnings first and planned to use UK fundraising money for future projects.
In his statement, he listed the accomplishments of his foundation, including building a mobile clinic, investing in orphanages, and funding the purchase of school bags, books and a dialysis machine.
Drogba added: "I come from a poor family and I had to work hard to get where I am today, but this would mean nothing to me if I wasn't able to give back to my country, my continent and my community."
The Charity Commission said it had opened a case to assess "concerns about the administration of the charity and the oversight provided by trustees, all of whom appear to live abroad, as well as allegations that the charity has provided misleading information to donors and the public.
"Further, 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.
"All these issues merit further investigation by the Commission", it said, adding it was at the early stages of its inquiry.
Talks between the WRU and the region are at an advanced stage.
The union owns a 50% stake in the Dragons, with Newport RFC owning 50% but Hazell says any deal would see the WRU take full control.
"It's getting to a point where it has to be done in the next week or it won't be done at all," Hazell told Scrum V.
"We are still in discussions with the WRU. It seems a case of one step forward and one step back at the moment.
"They are not big sticking points, they are small things and I'm sure we can get over them.
"Hopefully it will be completed over the next few days."
The WRU did not reply when approached for comment.
The Dragons are one of four Welsh professional regions and are currently 10th in the Pro12 table with just four wins in 17 matches.
Businessmen Hazell and Tony Brown have been putting money into the region since it started in 2003, a situation he said cannot continue.
He believes any takeover would mean then WRU taking complete control of the region and the Rodney Parade ground with the Dragons and Newport Rugby Club guaranteed to play there for 10 years.
"I can't see that we can do any more than hand it over in a reasonable shape to our Union," Hazell added.
"The future of the Dragons is that myself and Tony Brown can't keep pumping money into it. We're both turning 80 within the next few weeks and we can't keep doing it.
"But we're desperate to keep rugby going at Rodney Parade after 175 years."
Hazell added that a deal would see him and Brown writing off debts.
"If we insisted on having the debt paid then that would be the end of rugby at Rodney Parade," he said.
"We want to leave the Dragons and Newport in a comfortable position. Unless something else came along then the future would look bleak."
Any deal would have to be approved by 75% of Newport RFC members, but Hazell believes they would vote for a deal as in his opinion there was no viable alternative.
Once a deal is approved he would expect the WRU to relay the troublesome Rodney Parade pitch and conceded they could drop the Newport Gwent part of the name in favour of plain Dragons - like the Scarlets and Ospreys.
"That's fair enough. I've always thought Newport Gwent Dragons was a mouthful," he added.
"I think the Union would like to take over all four regions and follow the Irish model.
"That's the only sensible way to do it because benefactors like myself and Tony Brown are either retiring or dying."
A 91-year-old woman has a head injury and a 72-year-old woman has a serious leg injury following the crash on Scoonie Road in Leven just before 09:30.

The 35-year-old driver of the Honda is in hospital with minor injuries.
The Scottish Ambulance Service took the three women to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy.
Their injuries are not thought to be life threatening.

No-one was hurt in the blaze at Mill Hill in the town that was reported at about 04:30 GMT on Saturday.
It started in a rented property and spread to two neighbouring family homes.
The rented house was destroyed and the two others were damaged. A family escaped from one of the houses after being alerted by a neighbour.
It is understood they lost a number of possessions, including Christmas presents for their children.
Thirty-five firefighters and seven appliances tackled the blaze.
The fire is believed to have started accidentally.
"On arrival, the first crew found a well-developed fire in a first floor bedroom," fire service group commander Victor Spence said.
"The occupier had already left the premises and we started to evacuate adjoining houses to prevent any casualties.
"The fire was contained to the house and we believe the fire to be caused accidentally due to smoking materials."
Council officials are cordoning off the properties because they may be structurally unsafe.
Last week the leader of the Church in Scotland, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, broke off personal discussions on the issue with the First Minister, Alex Salmond.
The Church has declared 26 August as National Marriage Sunday.
The Scottish government says it is right to introduce same-sex marriage.
But it has stressed no clergy would be forced to carry out the ceremonies.
The letter criticises the Scottish government for trying to change what Cardinal O'Brien considers to be the only legitimate definition of marriage - the lifelong union of a man and a woman.
The letter also announces the launch of a National Commission for Marriage and the Family to co-ordinate a campaign against gay marriage.
It says: "We reaffirm before you all the common wisdom of humanity and the revealed faith of the Church that marriage is a unique life-long union of a man and a woman."
And it asks the Church's congregation to "pray for our elected leaders, invoking the Holy Spirit on them, that they may be moved to safeguard marriage as it has always been understood, for the good of Scotland and of our society".
In March, Cardinal O'Brien described gay marriage as a "grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right".
The Scottish government has pledged to bring forward a bill on the issue later this year, and has indicated the earliest ceremonies could take place by the start of 2015.
Same-sex couples in Scotland can already enter into civil partnerships. The Scottish government has promised to protect religious freedoms, and says any changes would not see churches forced to take part in same-sex ceremonies.
A Scottish government spokesperson said: "We intend to proceed with plans to allow same sex marriage and religious ceremonies for civil partnerships because we believe it is the right thing to do.
"We are equally committed to protecting religious freedom and freedom of expression, and ensuring that religious celebrants opposed to same sex marriage do not have to solemnise same sex ceremonies."
The Equality Network, which is campaigning in support of same-sex marriage in Scotland, said politicians should stand firm over the plans.
'Sad day'
Tom French, the charity's policy co-ordinator, said: "It is increasingly clear that the Church has an anti-gay agenda that it wants to impose on the rest of society.
"We urge the Scottish government to stand firm on plans to introduce equal marriage and not give in to demands that would discriminate against LGBT people."
Other Churches in Scotland have also expressed concern about the same-sex marraige plans. The Church of Scotland has said it is concerned the Scottish government is "rushing ahead on something that affects all the people of Scotland without adequate debate and reflection".
And the Free Church of Scotland described the decision to introduce gay marriage as a "truly sad day for Scotland" and urged the Scottish government to reconsider its plans.
The UK government's consultation on allowing civil marriages for gay and lesbian couples in England and Wales closed in June.
The coalition is analysing the results before publishing its formal response, but Prime Minster David Cameron has promised legislation before the next election.
There are currently no plans for similar legislation in Northern Ireland.
Jack Lowe will visit seven stations between Penarth and Aberystwyth, recording images on glass.
Earlier this year he photographed at a further seven stations in Wales.
His photographs are developed in a decommissioned NHS ambulance, which he bought on eBay and transformed into a mobile darkroom.
Mr Lowe, the grandson of Dad's Army actor Arthur Lowe, will visit Penarth on Tuesday, followed by Horton and Port-Eynon, Little and Broad Haven, Fishguard, Cardigan and New Quay, and he will finish his project at Aberystwyth on 24 September.
"From an early age I knew I wanted to either be a photographer or a lifeboat crew member," he said.
"This trip has given me the opportunity to fulfil both my dreams. It's fantastic to see how many people have been so interested and engaged with the project."
He said some of his photographs so far had even left some crew members in tears.
Mr Lowe will visit the remainder of the Welsh lifeboat stations in the future.
"I'm the last of the baby boomers, and I think it is absolutely appalling, the amount of free stuff I get at the cost of younger families, particularly families with children, and in fact working age adults with children."
With Naomi Eisenstadt, I'm among the last of the baby boomers, if you date the boom from 1945 to 1965. My selfish concern is that all the older baby boomers will have mopped up the resources for older age before I get there.
But that's nothing compared with the prospect facing a younger generation.
At BBC Scotland news for the past week, we've been looking at different facets of inequality; income, gender, wealth, learning and health.
It's no surprise to find Scotland is unequal. However, readers, listeners and viewers may have learned something new about the extent of it, and got a realistic take on how it compares.
That is, yes, it's unequal, but on most counts, it's comparable with similar countries, except on health.
The element of inequality that has emerged quite quickly, and particularly since the financial crash, is the gap that is not between the prosperous and the deprived, but between the baby boomers and the millennials - adults aged up to around 35, born between 1981 and 2000.
That is interesting because it's new. It brings a new dynamic, and it's unusual because it draws the prosperous young into a common interest with the deprived young.
And while the young continue to vote less, they'll probably continue to get decisions going against them and made by their elders - on Brexit, the US presidency, and arguably Scottish independence.
(When I write 'arguably', that's an invitation to others to argue about it, as they surely will.)
So what is at the roots of this generational divide?
Twenty years ago, the ranks of those below the poverty line were overwhelmingly elderly. It has been one of the successes of public policy that that has changed quite radically. Anti-poverty campaigners point out that is a lesson that, yes, it is possible to tackle poverty effectively.
This was done through the state pension, pensioner tax credits, pensioner benefits, from fuel allowances to free bus travel to free TV licences. The law was changed to let older people choose their retirement date, allowing many to keep working because they want to, or because they have to, financially.
So we now have an older generation that has strong welfare support and the relatively generous end of the workplace pension scheme, with defined benefits and many having been able to retire early.
That generation benefited from genuinely free education, usually graduating with only modest debt. It was quickly able to get on the housing ladder. They then benefited from the housing price boom.
They set out in the workplace at a time when trade unions were strong, and ensured younger workers' interests were looked after.
Contrast that with now (using numbers that are almost all about the United Kingdom or Great Britain, as the statistics for Scotland are not good):
According to the Intergenerational Commission, George Osborne left the Treasury with plans to take £1.7bn from working age benefits over the next four years, while pension-age people get £1.2 billion more.
The government has outsourced this process. The BBC is required to use the licence fee to take from younger payers and give free licences to older pensioners, fulfilling an election promise that the UK government was not willing to fund from tax receipts.
It's an issue the Commons select committee on welfare and pensions has recently looked at. It concluded that the triple lock on pensions needs to be retired from 2020.
Reporting earlier this month, the MPs said: "The welfare state has long been underpinned by an implicit social contract between generations.
"The provision of benefits and public services to the current pensioner population is funded by the taxes of the current working-age population. In turn they expect to receive similar benefits and services when they retire, and so on. The skewing of the welfare state has placed the intergenerational contract under strain."
But there's a warning that this is not the time for Intergenerational warfare. The debate "should not be conducted in divisive or adversarial terms.
"Each generation cares deeply about their children, parents and grandparents alike. It is not the fault of baby boomers that the economy, or certain asset prices, have become skewed in their favour.
"But the absence of fault does not obviate the need for policy action. The recommendations in this [select committee] report are intended to strengthen the implicit contract between generations that is at the heart of our society".
According to the Intergenerational Commission, which is only now starting its work, there has been a sharp shift in public opinion towards support of the case for much more house building, to help cut housing costs for younger people. In the case of baby boomers, it is claimed, more than half would now accept it in their local area.
"Renewing the intergenerational contract is a shared challenge for our times," according to the Commission.
"For all the talk of generational war, people - whatever their age - share concerns for the fate of the next generation, for their children and grandchildren."
In a documentary airing on Tuesday night on BBC Radio 1, she talks with her dad about what it was like.
The 1Xtra DJ is recovering from a double mastectomy - a procedure she went through to reduce her chances of getting breast cancer.
Claira inherited a gene which increases the risk of developing the disease.
"I'm not depressed and upset and sad about it daily but it's always there. I think about it the whole time," says her dad Howard Hermet.
He says that when his wife, Jane, was first diagnosed at the age of 39, he believed her breast cancer was "curable".
"But as time went on it obviously progressed into something a bit more serious," he explains.
"As far as Jane was concerned, we sort of knew within the last five or six months that there was nothing more that could be done.
"I remember breaking down then and it was really terrible for a few weeks and so by the time she died I was sort of numbed to it because I'd done the crying and everything beforehand."
Jane died at the age of 43.
Claira's sister Emily was told she had breast cancer when she was 25.
"I think probably the worst thing was she went straight to the surgeon in Harley Street and he said that they had operated and that unfortunately it was an aggressive cancer," says Howard.
"The fact that he said it was aggressive was quite devastating. That word means that the chances are the patient is not going to survive."
Emily was 31 when she passed away.
Speaking about the aftermath of his wife and daughter's deaths he says: "We go forward and we do things and we keep going on but it's still affected everything.
"I can't change it. It's something in the past that I can't change but it has definitely affected the whole of my life
"And with Emily the same."
Claira says she decided to have the operation because it meant she didn't "have to worry" any more.
"I don't want my life to end and when I think about that it's heartbreaking because that must be the worst feeling in the world.
"You don't want to die, you're not ready to die and there's nothing you can do."
Howard says: "I don't think you ever come to terms with that [knowing you're going to die] apart from when your illness is getting so bad in the end all you want to do is relieve the pain.
"Emily was in such pain at the end and so was Jane."

The 25-year-old, fighting in his home city of Liverpool, needed only one minute and 41 seconds to defeat his French opponent.
The result leaves Smith with a perfect record of 19 wins from 19 bouts and he is now in with a chance of a WBC world-title fight.
Promoter Eddie Hearn called Smith a "scary, scary man".
He told Sky Sports: "The man's going to dominate the super middleweight division for years to come."
Smith also beat Rocky Fielding with a first-round knock-out to win the British title in November.
He said after his victory over Mohoumadi: "I've always claimed I'm not a big puncher but my record suggests different now. I believe that when I get in the changing room and get the gloves on I can hurt anyone in the world."
Exeter had led 10-6 at half-time at the Liberty Stadium thanks to James Short's try and the kicking of Gareth Steenson.
Dan Biggar missed more kicks at goal than he converted in the first half, but after the break the Ospreys fly-half was simply superb.
But Exeter matched them blow for blow until Matavesi's piece of opportunism.
Ospreys have had a poor start to their Pro12 league campaign, winning only twice, while Exeter arrived full of confidence as currently the second best side in the English Premiership.
But the form book seemed to be no early indicator as Ospreys edged it on the scoreboard, with Biggar kicking two penalties to Steenson's one.
The Ospreys pack, with the likes of returning Wales stars Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate and Justin Tipuric to the fore, piled into their opponents.
But Exeter countered with an adventurous back line, although a little over-eagerness spoilt some promising positions.
Exeter should have been ahead but Luke Cowan-Dickie knocked on as he dived for the line under pressure from Paul James.
The visitors did capitalise on one of their opportunities though, when Will Chudley fielded Biggar's clearance and dummied Eli Walker to go through the gaping hole his sleight of hand had created.
The scrum-half fed Short at pace and the winger ran past two poor attempted tackles by James King and Biggar to score.
Biggar's form then dipped as the fly-half, usually so accurate, missed two late penalty kicks to leave Ospreys trailing 10-6 at half-time.
The Wales star came out for the second half determined to make amends and the high kick and gather - his trademark during the World Cup - set Ospreys on the front foot, leading to a penalty that Biggar this time converted.
Although his next attempt hit the post, Ospreys continued to pile on the pressure to earn Biggar another pot at goal and the fly-half this time kicked the home side into the lead.
That lasted 10 minutes as Exeter worked their way back into the game, with Steenson kicking his second penalty when Lydiate and Tipuric were caught going off their feet at a ruck.
The lead continued to exchange hands as Biggar struck a drop-goal - having missed two earlier attempts - after his forwards rumbled him into position.
The Ospreys fly-half seemed to have overcome his blip in the nick of time for the home side, providing proof when he kicked a 40m penalty after Exeter collapsed a scrum.
A game that had been so tight then turned on a mistake, as Steenson hurled a long pass on the edge of Ospreys' 22 that was read by Matavesi.
The centre raced away and had just enough pace and presence of mind to hold off Jack Nowell and slide over the line for a converted try.
With the game between French clubs Bordeaux-Begles and Clermont Auvergne postponed due to the terrorist attacks in Paris, Ospreys hold the early advantage in Pool 2.
Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy: "It's making sure you win your home games, and see what you can pick up on the road.
"Hopefully, we can go out to Clermont, try to score some points and see where that takes us."
Exeter head coach Rob Baxter: "We didn't really look comfortable and happy out there and bursting with energy and enjoyment to really get stuck into the game.
"We were nervy and edgy early on, and then that became ragged with some ill-disciplined play later."
Ospreys: Dan Evans; Dafydd Howells, Jonathan Spratt, Josh Matavesi, Eli Walker; Dan Biggar, Brendon Leonard; Paul James, Scott Baldwin, Dmitri Arhip, Lloyd Ashley, Alun Wyn Jones (capt), Dan Lydiate, Justin Tipuric, James King.

Hundreds of people attended the funeral of 17-year-old Ronan Hughes, from Coalisland, on Tuesday morning.
Police are investigating the circumstances of his death.
Geraldine Donnelly, the principal at St Joseph's school where Ronan was a student, said it appeared to be more than just a case of online bullying.
"This is something different and even more sinister than online or cyber bullying and I think it's important that message gets out to young people and gets out to parents and gets out to teachers," she said.
"What we're possibly looking at is some international element, of Ronan having been targeted from abroad purely to extort and blackmail him for money."
Police have said blackmail is "a definite line of inquiry".
Ronan died on Friday, 5 June.
At his funeral at St Patrick's Church in Clonoe, where he and his brother Cathal were altar boys, parish priest Fr Benny Fee told mourners it was a "bitter, bitter privilege to welcome Ronan here to St Patrick's where he was no stranger".
"Ronan did not take his own life but his life was taken from him, and somewhere in the world, maybe far, far away from Clonoe, is a man, a woman or a gang who are guilty of a heinous crime," Fr Fee said.
"People took advantage of his youth and his beauty. They exploited him and they broke him. And if they could do it to him, they could do it to anyone. May God forgive them."
Pupils from Ronan's school, St Joseph's Grammar in Donaghmore, County Tyrone, formed a guard of honour at the church.
Police have said a crime is not suspected and inquiries are continuing.
They have issued advice to young people about the need to be careful when using social networking sites.
Mid-Ulster district commander Supt Mike Baird described the boy's death as "tragic".
It is understood that Ronan had told his parents and the police of his concerns about the online images last week.
St Joseph's Grammar head teacher, Geraldine Donnelly, published a statement on the school's website expressing sadness at the "untimely death of our dear pupil".
He was also a talented Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) player and a member of Clonoe O'Rahilly's GAA club in County Tyrone. In a statement, the club said they were "shocked and saddened" by his death.
They described him as a "quiet and modest young lad who was popular among all players and coaches".
"His death has left a dark shadow hanging over our club," they said.
SDLP councillor Malachy Quinn told BBC Radio Ulster's Good Morning Ulster that Ronan "had everything to live for".
"For these people to bring somebody like that down to the point where they think they have no way out - you can't really imagine just what would go through a young person's mind for that to happen," he said.
Online safety expert Wayne Denner said the case showed the impact of technology on the lives of young people and the challenges that can bring.
"Mistakes are going to be made, but we need to educate [young people] on how to take control of their online reputation and how to use social media and the internet to their advantage, not to their disadvantage," Mr Denner said.
"Don't connect with people you don't know, know how to set up your privacy settings, and fundamentally, don't post anything online that you're not happy with going on a global billboard.
"Effectively, once it makes its way online it's very difficult to take it down."
ChildLine, the counselling service for children provided by the NSPCC, has been working with the Internet Watch Foundation and can help young people under 18 to get online images removed.
A spokeswoman for Childline said: "Cyber-bullying is a huge concern and the 24-hour nature of the internet means they can feel like there's no escape.
"We must ensure young people have the confidence to speak out against this abuse, so that they don't feel isolated and without anywhere to turn."
If you or someone you know is in distress or despair, you can contact Lifeline on 0808 808 8000 or visit their website, or Childline on 0800 1111 or visit their website.
Diane James said the leader of the party in Wales, Nathan Gill, had her "complete and utter support".
She called on the leader in the Assembly, Neil Hamilton, to "step up to the plate, but focus on Wales and the Assembly".
The two men have been embroiled in a feud which has seen Mr Gill quit the UKIP group of AMs in Cardiff Bay.
He now sits as an independent AM but is still the party's leader in Wales as well as a Member of the European Parliament.
Asked what she was going to do about the "civil war engulfing the party in Wales", Ms James said: "I'm going to ask Neil Hamilton to focus on the Welsh Assembly, on winning elections in Wales.
"I'm going to ask Nathan to continue doing the superb job he does in terms of representing Wales in the European Union."
Asked if that meant the party had "two kings", she replied: "Nathan has my complete and utter support.
"He has a huge legacy in terms of his membership, a huge wealth of knowledge in terms of the issues facing Wales if Mrs May doesn't action the vote to leave the European Union."
She added: "Neil, I'm asking you, step up to the plate, but focus on Wales and the Assembly."
Ms James was elected as UKIP party leader on Friday, replacing Nigel Farage.
Mr Gill said in a speech to the UKIP conference on Saturday that members should now unite behind their new UK leader.
Responding on BBC Wales' Sunday Politics Wales programme, Mr Hamilton, who did not support Ms James for the leadership, said: "She obviously hasn't been watching the televised debates from the Assembly week in week out since we were elected on May 5.
"That's exactly what I've been doing in Cardiff four days a week is concentrating on my job as an AM in the Assembly, and as the leader of the group."
Speaking at a Jewish group's dinner in Paris, Mr Hollande reassured Jews they were welcome and safe in France.
He also noted that Muslims were coming under increasing attack.
His proposals come after 17 people were killed during the Charlie Hebdo shootings and a kosher supermarket siege last month.
France is still on high alert following the attacks.
Addressing the dinner on Monday, Mr Hollande said he wanted "faster, more effective sanctions" against hate speech, the AFP news agency reported.
Hundreds of Jewish graves were desecrated in eastern France earlier this month.
French Muslim groups have also reported a rise in Islamophobic incidents following the Charlie Hebdo attacks.
According to the Reuters news agency, President Hollande's speech was overshadowed by a spat between leaders of France's Jewish and Muslim communities.
A leading Muslim group boycotted the dinner after a prominent Jewish figure said young followers of Islam were responsible for all violent crime, the agency reported.
It came as the French authorities confiscated the passports of six nationals on Monday who were allegedly planning to travel to Syria to join jihadists.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the intelligence services believed the men wanted to join the Islamic State (IS) militant group.

The site near Thurso has had problems in previous years with gulls swooping down aggressively on staff who inadvertently walk too close to nests.
A falconer from Norfolk is working with a zoologist on the gull-scaring project.
A Harris hawk and peregrine falcon are among the raptors being used to frighten off the birds.
Dounreay, an experimental nuclear power site, is in the process of being decommissioned.
The Swans, who are 17th in the table and without a win since the opening day of the season, replaced Francesco Guidolin with Bradley, 58, on Monday.
"Bob deserves this chance," said German Klinsmann, 52, an ex-Tottenham striker.
"It is fantastic that there is an ownership group in the Premier League giving trust into an American coach."
Klinsmann, part of the West Germany side who won the 1990 World Cup, added: "There are plenty of very, very good American coaches that can coach overseas."
Bradley was in charge of the United States from 2006 until 2011 before spells in Egypt, Norway and France.
He spent last season at French second-tier side Le Havre, missing out on promotion to Ligue 1 by a single goal.
Bradley beat ex-Manchester United assistant manager Ryan Giggs, former Derby boss Paul Clement and ex-Villarreal manager Marcelino to the Swansea job.
"Bob went the tough route," Klinsmann added.
"The places he went after he coached the USA national team have been impressive.
"He did not shy away from different cultures, languages or approaches. He deserves that chance and I hope they give him all the support in the world."

Mabey Bridge's (MB) ??38m turbine tower-building plant in Chepstow has closed after four years.
Simec - new owners of Uskmouth power station - said it was prepared to buy the plant and take on the 120 workers.
But MB said it failed to find a viable buyer despite "exhaustive efforts".
The company, whose main factory is in nearby Lydney, Gloucestershire, said no viable solution had been found despite an "extensive search and marketing process".
The Welsh government has now expressed its disappointment after it had worked closely with the company to secure new owners.
"We have actively supported two separate bids for the business, both of which would have safeguarded employment at the site and provided a secure future for the business," said a spokesperson.
"But we were very disappointed that neither of these bids were acceptable to Mabey Bridge."
MB announced last December it was looking to sell its renewable energy division but in July said those efforts had been unsuccessful and it would have to close.
In a further statement on Wednesday, chairman Juliette Stacey, said: "We have explored every avenue available to us in a bid to keep the site open, but sadly it has not been possible to do so."
The final shift for the 120 workers ended at lunchtime on Wednesday.
Four years ago MB was expanding on a grand scale, building steel towers rather than iron bridges - which the family firm was known for since it was founded 160 years ago.
The company will now concentrate on its bridge building business.
One of those interested in buying the renewable division was Hong Kong-owned Simec, which struck a deal to take over the Uskmouth power station last December.
The coal-burning plant has been been back in operation since June.
Simec is part of a wider group of companies headed by Liberty which bought the former Alphasteel - more recently known as Mir - steelworks in Newport.
It wanted to buy the MB site and re-employ the staff whose jobs are under threat.
MB had already listed engineering equipment and other assets on a website to attract buyers.
Simec was interested and it was looking beyond coal-burning to biomass, oil and renewables to generate energy.
BBC Wales understood an offer of about ??8.5m had been made to MB but it had valued the land and buildings at ??11.5m.
Simec chief executive James Busche admitted his company had entered negotiations late but said it still hoped to strike a deal - if not in time for the last shift.
He said: "The Mabey facility in Chepstow has some very talented people, very fit-for-purpose equipment and there's the building itself.
"Our interest is to continue with some of what they've been doing - the wind towers - but there are lots of other possibilities as well, some relating to UK and Welsh projects like the tidal lagoon and new high voltage transmission towers that National Grid and other European countries are putting in right now.
"There are lots of opportunities which fit the skill of the people."
The company made a direct appeal to MB not to close the factory and believed it was a "sustainable, profitable business".
MB said despite continued efforts to improve productivity it faced "an exceptionally competitive international market for renewables"
Ms Stacey added: "This is a difficult day for Mabey Bridge but we will now focus on building a stronger and more sustainable future for the business".
The Welsh government said it stood ready to provide support if new offers emerged.
The monthly limit on visas was hit for the first time since it was introduced, in June and already again this month.
Up to 20 firms have complained that they are unable to get the staff they need into the country.
CBI director general John Cridland urged the prime minister to "push it up and give a bit of headroom".
He said the 20,700 annual limit on Tier 2 business visas, introduced in 2011, was fine for when the country was in recession but was too tight for a growing economy.
Immigration Minister James Brokenshire said in June there were "no plans to change the limit" and that the government had asked the Migration Advisory Committee to find ways to "significantly reduce economic migration from outside the EU".
Mr Cridland is concerned that could mean a further tightening of the limit despite skills shortages in sectors such as professional services, IT, science and engineering.
He declined to suggest how high the cap should go, saying that was for the Migration Advisory Committee to decide.
But he attacked the government's policy of targeting net migration and said they should be focusing on gross migration, numbers coming into the country, instead.
He said the government should focus its immigration efforts on tackling bogus asylum-seekers, over-stayers, criminals, welfare-seekers and some unskilled workers.
Instead, skilled migrants seemed to have become "the first port of call" because they were easier to target, he suggested.
The CBI chief told journalists: "Let's tackle the bits of immigration the public is concerned about but while we have challenges to productivity and education and skills, let's not let migration controls inhibit economic growth because that isn't necessary."
He also criticised Home Office moves to end the right for non-EU students to work for up to 10 hours a week while they study in the UK and to force them to leave the country after they graduate and re-apply to work here rather than being allowed to stay for up to two years.
Mr Cridland said: "I understand the need of government to tackle public concerns about migration.
"But I don't think the public is concerned about skilled workers that help business be more successful or about hard-working students who are adding value to the economy, whether as a skilled engineer two years after they got their degree or as a waiter in a barista bar if you want a cup of coffee at a rail station in the morning.
"The government need to back out of the cul-de-sac they are in on the overall net migration target."
The CBI chief said there had also been "some noise" from the government that they could include intra-company transfers - where existing employees of a firm were moved to the UK to work on specific time-limited projects - in the cap.
But these were "highly-skilled individuals" who "keep the UK at the cutting edge of high-value innovation", he said.
Mr Cridland made his comments as part of the CBI's "end of Parliamentary term" report on the new government, which was "broadly positive", although he remains concerned about the impact of the higher minimum wage announced in the Budget on small businesses.
Mumbai - or Bombay - has always held a mythical place in my family's history. It was here that my migrant Sindhi grandparents first came to, after they fled post-partition Pakistan, in search for a better life for their children.
And it was to Mumbai that I came in 2006 to report for the BBC on the fast-growing economy. The India that I saw then was in the midst of an unprecedented boom.
Growth rates were soaring, the outsourcing sector had helped to lift the monthly salaries of young Indians to levels their parents wouldn't have seen in a year, and Indian companies such as Tata were going global, buying up assets abroad.
One of the places I reported from frequently was the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The main share index, the Sensex, hit a record 10,000 points within the first few months of my arrival. When it reached 20,000 points in 2007 newspaper headlines at the time shrieked that India had finally hit the major league, as foreign funds rushed to invest in fast-growing companies.
Today when I visited the exchange, the Sensex had closed just under 28,000 points - respectable but hardly dazzling.
The topic of conversation for investors hanging out at the local chai-walla outside the Bombay Stock Exchange was very much the financial turmoil that has infected world markets of late.
The optimism of many of them took me by surprise.
"I think India will be able to withstand this and come out of it even better," said 26-year-old Preeti, a self-proclaimed avid investor. "My father has always told us to buy when the markets are down, and that's what I'm doing."
"When there's a sale at the supermarket, what do you do?" asked one mutual fund trader. "You rush to buy your rice and cooking oil don't you? Well that's what you should be doing now - India's stock markets won't be down for long."
That's a refrain I've heard over and over in my time here in Mumbai over the last couple of days - and not just with regards to the stock market.
"India's economy isn't immune to the slowdown in China, but is more resilient than some of the other countries in the region," India's central bank governor Raghuram Rajan told me.
"Based on what I've seen so far there's no strong reason to believe we're on the verge of another crisis."
When I left Mumbai in 2009 to take on a posting in Jakarta for the BBC, India was still in what many said was a sweet spot. The Congress-led coalition had just been voted back in for a second term because of strong economic growth, defying expectations of an electoral loss.
But a series of corruption scandals and increasing disenchantment with that government saw Manmohan Singh - the man once known as the father of Indian reform for his dream budget in 1991 that opened up the doors to the Indian economy - replaced last year by the populist pro-business politician from Gujarat, Narendra Modi.
Now though there are concerns about how quickly the new prime minister can deliver on some of his economic promises.
Critics have said essential economic reforms - such as making it easier for businesses to buy land to build factories on - failed to pass through the last parliamentary session because of political opposition.
But some businessmen appear to be willing to give Mr Modi another chance.
One is Leo Puri, the managing director of UTI Asset Management: "I think the process of reforms in India is one of incremental steps instead of big bangs.
"I think there was a dramatic expectation of how much the new government would be able to achieve. Even in the 1991 reforms, they happened incrementally and over time before they started to have an effect."
A number of reforms were initiated in 1991 which aimed to liberalise India's economy. These included:
As a result, after growing by only 0.8% in 1991-92, India's economy grew by 5.1% in 1992-93.
It is true that economic growth in India is starting to pick up. The government says economic growth is 7% but is aiming for higher growth of 8%. If it achieves that, it could grow faster than China - at a time when the world is looking for a new driver of global growth.
But it is also true that some parts of the real economy have yet to feel that growth.
Some economists question India's growth figures, saying that economic indicators like credit and capital growth have yet to show similar gains. And many Indians say they're not feeling the effects of that growth in their wages or bank accounts.
And then there's the weather - the monsoon is also a big factor in how well the Indian economy does. Although agriculture only makes up 17% of the economy, roughly half of the Indian population makes a living through farming, and the monsoon is a key factor in whether rural demand picks up or not.
The reality is that India is unlikely to replace China as a main driver of global growth - depending on how you measure it, its economy is only a quarter or a fifth of the size of China's.
And regardless of China's current problems, it's also unlikely to completely disappear from the radar of investors. After all it's still a huge manufacturing and trading base and a massive market.
There's no doubt that the slowdown in China provides India with opportunities to expand, but it also means that India must act fast to exploit the advantage.
Officials say they have confirmed the driver's identity as 22-year-old Moroccan Younes Abouyaaqoub.
Authorities earlier said they could not rule out the possibility that he had slipped across the border to France.
New CCTV footage from the day of the attack appears to show him fleeing the scene on foot.
Three images in El Pais newspaper allegedly show the man walking through La Boqueria market, wearing sunglasses, as he passes other people heading away from Las Ramblas.
Police say they are investigating the possibility that, some 90 minutes later, the suspect stabbed and killed a Spanish man and stole his car.
Two hours after the attack, 34-year-old Pau Perez from Vila Franca was found dead in his vehicle. He is the 15th person confirmed dead following the two attacks.
Thirteen were killed when the van, allegedly driven by Abouyaaqoub, swerved through crowds in the busy area Las Ramblas in Barcelona on Thursday, and one woman died during a second attack in Cambrils hours later, in which five attackers were killed by police.
On Sunday, Catalan police chief Josep Lluis Trapero said that of the 12 suspects, only one - assumed to be Abouyaaqoub - remained at large.
Four were under arrest and there were two sets of human remains to be identified, he said. Five were killed during a second attack in Cambrils.
French media report that the vehicle used in Cambrils had been caught on speed cameras in France's Essonne region the previous week. But a direct link between the group of attackers in Spain and the car's appearance in France has not yet been established.
It has now emerged that an imam living in the town of Ripoll, where Abouyaaqoub and several other suspects came from, is suspected of recruiting young people to an extremist cause.
Family members of the dead suspects said they believe Imam Abdelbaki Es Satty radicalised several young people from the town.
A picture is now emerging of Imam Satty as a possible ringleader or key organiser of the 12-strong terror cell, the BBC's Europe reporter Gavin Lee said.
The imam apparently left the mosque in June for an extended trip to Morocco, but a flatmate told the BBC he had been seen in Ripoll as recently as last Tuesday.
The father of two of those shot dead by police in Cambrils, Mohamed and Omar Hychami, told the BBC he was devastated. Hecham Igasi also accused the imam of radicalising his sons.
The search for Imam Satty has lost some urgency after police suggested he may have died in an explosion in Alcanar on Wednesday.
The explosion is believed to have been an accident during the manufacture of explosives the group was making.
The group had apparently been planning three coordinated attacks using the home-made bombs. Police found about 120 gas canisters at the site.
Spanish media outlets say Imam Satty had spent some time in prison, and had met prisoners involved or linked with the 2004 Madrid train bombings, in which 191 people died.
He also stayed in Belgium for some three months last year, where he had been searching for work, including in Vilvoorde, a small town of just 42,000 - from which more than 20 jihadists departed for Syria in 2014.
The mayor of Vilvoorde, Hans Bonte, said the imam had spent time there between January and March 2016, and had been screened by police.
But at the time, there did not appear to be a serious issue, he said.
So-called Islamic State (IS) said it had carried out the Las Ramblas attack, though it is not clear whether any of the attackers were directly connected to the group or simply inspired by it.
The SNCTA union - France's largest - called the two-day strike in a dispute over working conditions.
Later on Wednesday, the DGAC civil aviation authority asked airlines to halve scheduled flights on Thursday.
Short-haul flights have been the worst affected but France's largest airline, Air France, said long-haul flights were still operating.
The airline added that 60% of medium-haul flights from and to Paris' main airport, Charles de Gaulle, would still operate, but that it would ground two out of three flights at Paris' second-largest airport, Orly.
"Disruption is expected over the whole country," the DGAC said in a statement.
Travellers have been advised to contact their airline.
France's civil aviation agency said part of the dispute involves plans to raise the retirement age for controllers from 57 to 59 years.
Further strikes are planned for 16 to 18 April and 29 April to 2 May, coinciding with spring school holidays in France.
Low-cost airline Ryanair says it has had to cancel more than 250 flights, with further cancellations likely, while competitor Easyjet has been forced to cancel 118 flights.
"We sincerely apologise to all customers affected by this unwarranted strike action and we call on the EU and French authorities to take measures to prevent any further disruption," said Ryanair in a statement.
"It's grossly unfair that thousands of European travellers will once again have their travel plans disrupted by the selfish actions of a tiny number of French ATC [air traffic control] workers."
Travellers booked on short and medium-haul Air France flights on Wednesday or Thursday can choose to travel between 10 and 15 April instead, it said.
Hull City Council said it needed to make some of its services "financially sustainable" following cuts to its central government grant.
The authority said it would "remodel" learning disability services, older people's care homes, day care and support for people leaving hospital.
Sarah Littlewood, of the union Unison, described the cuts as "devastating".
"The need is not reducing," she said.
"The need, in fact, is increasing. So, for the people who receive those services and for the people who deliver that those services, it is absolutely devastating that more cuts are on the agenda."
The authority said the £15.3m cuts to its £95 million adult care budget was in addition to the £10m it had removed since 2010.
Councillor Stephen Brady, Labour leader of Hull City Council, said: "The government has imposed deep funding cuts on adult social care, despite the fact that we have an ageing population, creating an even greater need for care.
"We now have no option but to make further cuts but we are determined to do this in a way that will ensure we are able to continue to offer a high standard of care to some of the most vulnerable people in our community."
The plans will be put out to public consultation over the summer.
David Edmonds has stepped down two days after London Mayor Sadiq Khan ordered a "detailed investigation" into the cost of West Ham's new home.
The outlay to modify the stadium has risen from £272m to £323m.
Edmonds was appointed chairman of the LLDC in September 2015.
He has been a board member of the Olympic Park Legacy Company and its successor, the LLDC, since 2010.
Edmonds chaired the investment committee, and was the first chair of E20 LLP, the joint venture between LLDC and the London Borough of Newham, owners of the Olympic Stadium.
"David has made an enormous contribution to the legacy of the London 2012 Games and he has helped to steer the organisation through some extremely challenging issues," said David Goldstone, chief executive of the LLDC.
Campaigners have welcomed the investigation into the £50m rise in costs.
Part of the reason for the increase is a rise in the cost of installing and operating the retractable seating, which can be removed for concerts and athletics events.
The cost of £8m a year is up from an estimated £300,000 because the company originally contracted for the job had gone bust, reports BBC sports editor Dan Roan.
Stadium operators LLDC and the London taxpayer will need to pick up the additional costs.
Premier League club West Ham contribute £2.5m-a-year rent, plus the one-off £15m for the conversion.
West Ham won the bid to occupy the Olympic Stadium in March 2013, and played their first game there in August 2016, after 112 years at Upton Park.
However, their move has been marred by fan violence, leading the club to issue a five-point security plan to prevent further disorder.
In addition, police will be helping stewards to segregate fans inside the ground at West Ham's match against Stoke City this weekend - the first time this has been done at the stadium.
The Trotters scored in the 97th minute to secure a 2-2 draw at Ipswich.
Darren Pratley, Mark Davies, Zack Clough, Derik Osede, Liam Feeney, Dean Moxey, Rob Holding and Liam Trotter all missed chances in the first half.
"You can talk about tactics and team selection but when you miss glaring opportunities like we are, it's very hard to take," Lennon said.
"It shouldn't have been a fightback."
With 10 matches remaining, Bolton are 10 points adrift of safety, having lost four of their last six Championship matches.
However, Lennon believes recent results do not reflect the on-field performances from his side.
"We should be winning games," he told BBC Radio Manchester. "I don't know if there is a mental fragility at times, we just seemed to get punished.
"I can't fault the players, the performance again was excellent, but we have had so many chances to win games over the last four or five weeks but haven't taken our chances.
"We don't look like a team at the bottom of the league but the table doesn't lie. We keep getting punished for basic mistakes.
"They didn't look like scoring. They get a set-piece and didn't defend it properly - and we find ourselves remarkably 2-0 down in a game we have dominated."
Tesco sells about 700 million single-use carrier bags a year, the highest among the major supermarkets, but sales will end in stores on 28 August.
The supermarket said the decision followed a trial which led to a 25% cut in bag sales.
Charges for plastic bags have been in place in the UK since October 2015.
In 2011, Wales started charging 5p per bag and saw a 71% drop in the number used by customers. Northern Ireland introduced charges in 2013, followed by Scotland in 2014. England was the last country in the UK to charge, recording an 83% drop in use.
Tesco conducted a 10-week trial in Aberdeen, Dundee and Norwich in May. Plastic, single-use bags were withdrawn leaving shoppers with the choice of bringing their own or buying a "bag for life".
That will now be a permanent move at stores across the UK. The more expensive bags are made from 94% recycled plastic and will be exchanged without charge when damaged, the supermarket says.
Online shoppers can still opt to receive their deliveries in single-use carrier bags after store sales end, Tesco says, although just over half already choose a bagless delivery.
Sales of the more expensive "bags for life" fund grants for community projects - similar to other supermarkets' charity donations following the introduction of plastic bag charging.
Tesco said that its scheme had paid £33m to more than 6,400 groups.
Matt Davies, UK and Irish Republic chief executive at Tesco, said: "The number of bags being bought by our customers has already reduced dramatically. [This] move will help our customers use even fewer bags but ensure that those sold in our stores continue to fund thousands of community projects across the country chosen by customers."
Sainsbury's scrapped single-use bags from stores when carrier bag charges were introduced.
Louise Edge, senior campaigner at Greenpeace UK, said: "It is great to see major retailers moving away from disposable plastic. For too long we've seen plastic as something to be used once and thrown away. But there is no such place as 'away' - and millions of tonnes of plastic are ending up in our rivers, beaches, streets and in the sea every year, harming marine life.
"The plastic bag charge has done wonders for reducing the number of bags polluting our coastlines and waters. Now we need to see the same for throwaway plastic bottles - a deposit return scheme which encourages collection."
This biennial contest remains the biggest draw in female golf and attracted more than 100,000 fans last week.
And although it does not feature the South Korean stars who dominate the sport, it still provides compelling competition in the same way the Ryder Cup does for the men.
From the moment the US swept through the Friday afternoon fourballs at Des Moines Golf and Country Club, it was hard to see anything other than a home victory.
Europe had been left with too much to do and their plight was emblematic of the situation facing the Ladies' European Tour (LET). The circuit is faltering badly, losing tournaments and is without a permanent chief executive.
Having lost seven events this year, the LET struggles to provide enough golf or prize money for Europe's leading women to make a viable living.
But the tour does retain its share of the Solheim Cup and last week's events in Iowa have helped strengthen its value. This is why bigger entities such as the LPGA and men's European Tour appear happy to lend a helping hand.
"There's been a fantastic response," interim LET chief executive Mark Lichtenhein told BBC Sport. "Offers from all parties, not just in golf.
"I think people have seen what a fantastic spectacle the Solheim Cup is and how great these girls are.
"Over the next weeks and months we are going to be looking at all those offers of help and how we can move forward and rebuild our tournament schedule, particularly in Europe, so that we can make a bright future.
"We have a fairly meagre schedule in the first half of the year and that's what we need to address for the future."
It is the prospect of the LPGA and European Tour coming together to assist the LET which is most intriguing. They are all rival bodies within the golfing village, trying to secure their spoils from a limited pool of sponsorship and TV rights monies.
The LET and LPGA share the Solheim Cup and Lichtenhein sees good reason for the bodies to combine beyond the staging of the biennial match. They recently co-staged the Ladies Scottish Open at Dundonald.
"We have a situation where so much sponsorship money goes into the men's sport so it is only right that the girls stand up together," he said.
"And as far as the European Tour is concerned, golf is the only sport that Europe plays together as a team. It's the only place that you see people flying the European flag - Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup.
"If we can do something for European golf together that would be terrific too."
Lichtenhein is a former employee of the European Tour, leaving soon after the arrival of Keith Pelley, the current boss at the Wentworth-based outfit.
Europe's women certainly need a stronger circuit to ensure young talent has a platform to develop.
While last week's match bore witness to some brilliant play, the Solheim Cup cannot afford to become too one-sided. The US will be going for three wins in a row at Gleneagles in 2019.
That is when we can expect Europe to be led by a Scot on home soil. "I would love to be the captain and I will put my name in the hat," Catriona Matthew told me after winning three out of four points last week.
The 47-year-old also welcomed the prospect of LPGA and European Tour support for the beleaguered LET.
"I think it probably would help to have someone with just a bit more backing behind them to help them get back on their feet," Matthew said.
"The crowds have been great here. I think it is a great spectacle. From what I've heard it has been well received on TV and lots of birdies makes it exciting. I think it will flourish.
"The Tour has been having its problems but hopefully the change in leadership will help it move on and upwards again. There's a lot of good young talent out there."
Bournemouth's 21-year-old Georgia Hall showed plenty of potential in the course of a match that brought the very best out of the American victors.
Now is the time for the game to capitalise and elevate the standing of women's golf.
Victorious US captain Juli Inkster issued a timely warning. "We don't get the credit we're due," she said.
"I just think as women golfers we always get short-changed and it irks me. I don't understand how all these companies get away with supporting PGA Tour events and not supporting the LPGA.
"It makes me a little upset, because I think we've got a great product," Inkster added.
It was hard to argue in the wake of a week where so much wonderful golf was played.
But there is a huge challenge for the women's game, and especially the LET, to sustain this message in the coming months when it could easily slip again from the limelight.
Prosecutors told Sheffield Crown Court the girls were sexually abused from as young as 12, with some becoming pregnant.
Five men and two women face more than 60 charges, including rape and false imprisonment, over a 10 year period.
The seven defendants deny all the charges.
Updates on this and other stories in South Yorkshire
Opening the case for the prosecution, Michelle Colborne QC told the jury: "It is alleged that in differing ways they facilitated the sexual abuse of teenage girls.
"You will hear evidence from 12 women who were targeted, sexualised and in some instances subjected to acts of a degrading and violent nature."
Ms Colborne said Arshid Hussain, 40, known as Mad Ash, played a key role.
She said: "He was domineering and, in some instances, brutal in his treatment of girls.
"He used them for his own gratification, then often prostituted them or passed them on to his brothers or associates of his.
"He was assisted in differing ways by the other defendants, each willingly engaged in exploitative behaviour and using the girls to their own ends."
Arshid Hussain, 40, High Street, East Cowick, Goole, faces 30 charges, including five counts of rape.
Qurban Ali, 53, Clough Road, Rotherham, faces four charges, including rape and conspiracy to rape.
Majid Bostan, 37, Ledsham Road, Rotherham faces one charge of indecent assault.
Sajid Bostan, 38, Broom Avenue, Rotherham faces seven charges, including four counts of rape,.
Basharat Hussain, 39, of no fixed abode, faces 16 charges including two counts of rape.
Karen MacGregor, 58, Barnsley Road, Wath, South Yorkshire, faces three charges, including conspiracy to rape.
Shelley Davies, 40, Wainwright Road, Kimberworth Park, Rotherham, faces three charges, including conspiracy to rape.
Ms Colborne said one alleged victim was abused by both Arshid and Basharat Hussain from the age of 14, adding that she also handled guns and drugs for the brothers and was made to work as a prostitute.
The alleged victim described the brothers as "owning Rotherham" and said she felt compelled to do what they told her.
The prosecution said even though some of the alleged victims were in care there was no investigation by the authorities of why they went missing.
Ms Colborne said another alleged victim, who is now 43, was befriended by the two women defendants - Karen MacGregor and Shelley Davies - in the late 1980s.
The prosecutor said that one night she passed out in Ms MacGregor's house after drinking vodka with a group of about six men.
She said the girl woke up to find herself being sexually assaulted by an unknown man.
Ms Colborne said: "(She) was plied with vodka to a point where she was incapacitated and taken upstairs by Karen MacGregor with the intention that the unidentified male would have sexual intercourse with her."
She told the jury of six men and six women: "The prosecution say she deliberately set out to make girls available for sexual encounters with older men."
Ms Colborne said a mother who tried to intervene when she found out her then 14-year-old daughter was associating with a group of older Asian men was threatened that her house would be firebombed.
The trial continues.
The two-time champion said F1 needed "a little bit more freedom" for the teams to design and operate their cars - and in the running of the sport in general.
"If you painted all the cars black, you would not know which team built which car," said McLaren's Alonso, 34.
Ahead of this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix, he added that drivers were "allowed to breathe and not much more".
Alonso has already been quoted this week by Italian magazine Autosprint reiterating his common complaint since Pirelli tyres were introduced into F1 in 2011 that they do not allow drivers to push flat out.
On Thursday, the sport's governing body the FIA strengthened restrictions on radio communication between teams and drivers - a move described by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel as "a joke".
"We can never drive the cars to their real limit," said Alonso, the 2005 and 2006 champion. "We can never attack as much as we would like because the tyres don't allow you to.
"If you push too hard they overheat, and lose grip immediately. If you use the engine too much, you step over consumption parameters.
"To be quick in today's F1, you must not attack too much, that's the secret, but that's something against a driver's instincts."
In a news conference on Thursday, the Spaniard added that F1's problems were not with the fact Mercedes were dominating.
"I don't think that there being one team dominant [is the problem], it has always been like this in a way," he said.
"But the show was good enough and now it is not good enough for whatever reason - because the cars are too slow, too heavy or the noise is not good or the prices are too high or whatever.
"Whatever it is, I don't know, it's not the same and it's something obvious."
Alonso, questioning the number of tweaks made to F1 regulations, said: "I think they have made this to talk about something between races, because it makes no sense.
"Relaxing everything a little bit would be good, like it always used to be in F1.
"We have to do the same thing at the same time at the same hour and if you don't do one of these things you have to go to the stewards and you will have a penalty - a time penalty, a reprimand, points.
"It doesn't matter if you are five minutes late to the briefing or if you go five minutes late to the autograph session. You are allowed to breathe and not much more."
A lack of computing in schools put the UK's position as a world leader in computer gaming at risk, said Microsoft UK's director of education.
Steve Beswick was speaking on the eve of the BETT show for educational technology in London.
The Department of Education welcomed the teaching of computer coding, which it said was educationally "vital".
In England the government has scrapped information technology lessons, with a new computing curriculum due next year.
Mr Beswick said that the computer gaming sector currently generated £3bn a year for the British economy, adding that games and software developers required skilled individuals to ensure their businesses thrived.
"It's a world leader in its sector and we desperately need to ensure that our talent pool of computer scientists is as healthy as it can be in order to sustain valuable industries like that," he said.
Mr Beswick pointed out that there were currently about 100,000 job vacancies in the UK that required computer science qualifications, but last year only about a third of that number had graduated in computer science.
"Computer science is something that we have been calling the 'fourth science' for some time," said Mr Beswick.
"We believe that it is every bit as important as physics, chemistry and biology."
Mr Beswick believes that formally introducing children to the basics of the subject at primary school, will help inspire more pupils to take it to degree level and ultimately the world of work.
In a statement, the Department for Education said it agreed with Microsoft and that was why the "out-dated ICT curriculum" was scrapped last year, with computer science now being taught in schools.
It said: "We're involving experts like Microsoft, Google and Cambridge University in the development of Computer Science teaching to properly equip pupils for the 21st Century.
"These changes and exciting developments, like Raspberry Pi and Computing for Schools, are spreading the teaching of computer coding which is so educationally and economically vital."
Education Secretary Michael Gove chose last year's BETT show to announce a radical revamp of the information and communications technology (ICT) curriculum in schools, calling it "demotivating and dull".
He scrapped the ICT curriculum from last September and called on schools to use online resources to teach computing so that even 11-year-olds would be capable of writing simple 2D computer animations.
The announcement was widely welcomed by the computing industry though concerns have been expressed about a lack of specialist computer science teachers.
Karel Frybl denies murder, claiming he had a temporary mental breakdown when he stabbed Rebecca Johnson, from Fife.
After two days of testimony, the trial judge said the 36-year-old should be held in custody while mental health checks are carried out.
The court in Finland will decide later if he is guilty of homicide or the more serious charge of murder.
Ms Johnson, 26, was a member of a Santa Safari team which worked with a Christmas-themed tour operator.
She died after being stabbed 10 times in the chest on 4 December 2016. She had 30 other stabbing injuries across her body, and showed signs of defensive wounds on her hands.
Under Finnish law, a murder conviction carries a mandatory life sentence - which in practice means at least 12 years - but has to meet a legal threshold of being premeditated, or particularly brutal or sustained.
Prosecutor Juhani Maki told the court in in Rovaniemi that some of Ms Johnson's wounds were inflicted either when her back was turned to Mr Frybl as the attack began or when she was trying to escape from their cabin.
On Thursday the court heard from three witnesses.
The first, co-worker Caitlin Howard, was speaking to Ms Johnson on the phone at the time she was attacked.
Ms Howard told the court that Ms Johnson said she was in an abusive relationship and that Mr Frybl had kicked her in the stomach the night before.
"After she told me that in the phone, I heard three screams and the line went dead," she said.
A second witness also heard the three screams.
Husky sled guide Joe Pickles described how he was standing a few metres outside Ms Johnson and Mr Frybl's cabin on the morning of the attack in -30C weather.
He said: "I ran to the cabin and pulled open the door. I said 'Radek [Frybl] stop, stop.'
"Becky said: 'Joe, call an ambulance, he's stabbed me.'"
A 30-minute recording of Mr Pickles' call to emergency services - when he sounded panicked and in fear of his life - was previously played in court.
When he went back to the cabin to check on Ms Johnson she was already dead.
A third witness, a local police officer, gave evidence by telephone and said that when he found Mr Frybl some hours later laying in the snow, he had injuries that were probably self-inflicted.
Mr Frybl has claimed that Ms Johnson stabbed him first.
In closing arguments, the state prosecutor told the court Mr Frybl had lied about Ms Johnson stabbing him.
He said the number of stab wounds and the ferocity of the attack meant Frybl should be sentenced for murder.
The couple had lived in Scotland before moving to the Arctic for seasonal work.
Ms Johnson, originally from Burntisland in Fife, was employed by Santa Safari which works with Oxford-based tour operator Transun Travel to organise Christmas-themed excursions in Lapland.
Fermanagh made the better start but Armagh led 0-8 to 0-6 at half-time despite having Finian Moriarty sent-off in the 26th minute.
Four unanswered points saw the Orchard County extend their lead, before the Ernemen battled back to trail by three.
Stephen Harold (2) and Kevin Dyas scored late points to extend Armagh's winning margin to five.
Jamie Clarke was named man of the match.
Pete McGrath's side were quickly out of the blocks as Tomas Corrigan's superb initial point from play was quickly added to by two Sean Quigley frees.
The margin remained three at the 13-minute mark after a Tony Kernan free was quickly cancelled out by a Ruairi Corrigan effort from play.
However, Armagh regrouped to level by the 22nd minute helped by a couple of poor kick-outs from Fermanagh custodian Thomas Treacy.
The levelling score should have been a goal as Aidan Forker blazed over after a superb defence-splitting pass from Miceal McKenna.
Armagh looked to have suffered a major blow in the 26th minute as centre half-back Moriarty received his marching orders after receiving a yellow card, black card and red card in the same incident as he hauled down the speedy Ruairi Corrigan.
But despite being a man down, Armagh bossed the remainder of the first half as three Tony Kernan frees helped them move into a 0-8 to 0-6 lead by the break.
Armagh's interval lead could have been even bigger with Erne keeper Treacy making a great full-length diving save to turn a point-blank Dyas shot out for a 45.
Ciaran McKeever entered the fray for Armagh in the second half and points from Kernan and Ethan Rafferty (2) saw them assume control.
Armagh had a goal disallowed as the ball was illegally taken out of the Fermanagh goalkeeper's hands, while for Fermanagh, Quigley was instrumental in reviving his side's hopes with a series of points, before Armagh rallied.
Armagh: N Geoghegan; A Mallon, C Vernon, M Murray; J Morgan, F Moriarty, M Shields; C McKeever, A Findon; T Kernan, M McKenna, A Forker; E Rafferty, A Murnin, J Clarke.
Fermanagh: T Treacy; M Jones, T Daly, M O'Brien; B Mulrone, R McCluskey, N Cassidy; R Jones, R O'Callaghan, P McCusker, R Corrigan, D McCusker; T Corrigan, S Quigley, C Flaherty. | A house has been destroyed and two others badly damaged in a fire in Castlewellan in County Down.

Sergeant Alexander Blackman, 39, based at Bickleigh Barracks in Plymouth, Devon, was jailed for 10 years after he was found guilty at a court martial.
An order banning the release of his name was lifted by High Court judges.
Lord Chief Justice Lord Thomas said there was "the greatest public interest" in identifying him.
Lawyers for Blackman, who was referred to as Marine A at the court martial, argued that his life would be at "real and immediate" risk if his name was released.
But Lord Thomas said: "The prison authorities will be well aware of that risk and take steps to minimise it, as they do for other offenders at risk of attack in prison.
"There is the threat, as assessed by JTAC (the Joint Terrorist Analysis Centre), to his family and to Marine A on his release under licence from his life sentence.
"It is a known risk. The Ministry of Defence has taken steps in the past to protect the families of the marines. There is nothing to suggest that they would not in the future.
"Balancing those considerations, we have no doubt that the balance comes very firmly down on the side of open justice; the identity of Marine A must be made public."
The murder took place after a patrol base in Helmand came under fire from two insurgents.
One of the attackers was seriously injured by gunfire from an Apache helicopter sent to provide air support, and the marines found him in a field.
Footage on another marine's helmet-mounted camera showed Blackman shooting the Afghan prisoner with a 9mm pistol.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) also said they failed to carry out a proper risk assessment.
The vintage jet fell to the ground on a busy road during a rolling manoeuvre, destroying a number of vehicles and bursting into flames.
Andy Hill, pilot of the 1959 Hawker Hunter, survived.
The Shoreham air show organisers said in a statement that the report "reflects our assertions that we, as the flying display organisers, complied with the existing Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) CAP 403 regulations".
They added: "We are confident that we made every effort to follow the CAA's guidance."
According to the AAIB, the flying display director at Shoreham was well qualified, but he was not fully aware of the sequence of display manoeuvres the pilot of the jet was planning to carry out.
He was not, therefore, able to identify where they would take place, or which groups of people would be put at risk.
The report notes that in a previous display, in 2014, the same aircraft had flown over residential areas several times, as well as performing a steep turn over the town centre of Lancing.
This was despite its flying permit specifically stating that it should not be flown over congested areas and the show's organisers operating under similar constraints. However, the pilot was not told to stop his display.
This report doesn't tell you why the Shoreham jet crashed. That final report won't be out for some weeks yet.
But it will have big implications for air shows up and down the country. It'll mean tougher rules, more red tape, higher costs, better safety and it could also spell the end for dozens of the smaller shows.
Some have already cancelled because of the uncertainty and because of higher fees being brought in by the regulator.
The CAA says the extra cash will pay for more staff to improve safety. Show organisers disagree, saying it's more of a money-making exercise. Both sides maintain that safety is their number one priority.
More than six million people go to air shows every year, making it the second-biggest spectator event after football.
Air show safety tightened after Shoreham
CAA says air shows must adopt safety measures
According to the report, investigations have shown that this was not an isolated incident. Similar breaches have taken place at Shoreham and at other venues, involving other aircraft and pilots.
The AAIB is also critical of the way crowds outside the airfield were handled, including at the junction of the A27 where the accident occurred.
This was a site where crowds had been known to gather in large numbers in previous years, and the AAIB says stewards had been employed to ask people to move on.
However, it adds that: "Neither the organisers nor the police had requested or been granted the legal power to prevent people from being in this area and their efforts did not prevent gathering on the A27 junction."
Further criticism was aimed at the process under which pilots gain their display permits, which allow them to qualify using one aircraft model, then use a variety of others in the displays themselves.
This was the case with the pilot of the Hawker Hunter, who had qualified using a different type of aircraft from the one he was piloting in the show.
The AAIB also notes that the pilot, Andy Hill, had been prevented from completing a display at a different venue in 2014 because the display director had been concerned about one of his manoeuvres.
No action was taken on that occasion beyond an informal discussion with Mr Hill.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is responsible for allowing air shows to go ahead and monitoring their safety.
But according to the report, last year its representatives only attended 18 of the 254 displays it authorised. In the United States, the regulator attends every show.
The AAIB has issued a series of recommendations which are designed to make air shows safer in future.
In total, the report sets out 14 recommendations affecting the way shows are organised and regulated, and how pilots are qualified to take part in them.
The AAIB says the CAA should "introduce a process to immediately suspend the Display Authorisation of a pilot whose competence is in doubt, pending investigation of the occurrence".
Responding to the latest report a CAA spokesperson said: "We will now review the AAIB's bulletin in detail and consider all of its recommendations carefully. We will also factor the AAIB's findings into our ongoing review of air display safety, which we expect to complete in the coming weeks."

Joel Moon scored the first try of the new season in the corner as Rhinos went into the break 4-0 ahead.
Theo Fages crashed over early in the second before Mark Percival's conversion gave the lead to Saints, who had two tries ruled out by the video referee in the match.
Leeds pressed for another, but Saints stood firm in an energy-sapping game.
As the game came to a close, both sides needed last-ditch defending to save them, including from Rhinos' Ashton Golding, a stand-out performer to deny Saints getting more scores on the board throughout.
The Rhinos, who had to secure their Super League place through The Qualifiers last campaign, looked a totally different side to the one that found itself bottom of the table during last season.
Rob Burrow, playing his 500th Leeds Rhinos match, and Carl Ablett put Moon in for the first try, and Golding held up Tommy Makinson to ensure the visitors kept their advantage going into the second half.
Saints were without the injured Matty Smith, but Danny Richardson was impressive throughout, and his half-back partner Fages broke through the defence to help put Saints ahead.
Makinson then superbly saved a certain try himself, taking Liam Sutcliffle out of play when the Leeds man looked to be heading for the line.
Leeds had the majority of play towards the end of the match, but Saints' long-kicking game made it difficult for Rhinos to gain ground and the hosts held out for victory.

Journal entries record that he used "scalding fomentations of camomile flowers" to ease a stomach complaint.
This spring some of the world-renowned writer's favourite herbal remedies will be uncovered in a special foraging expedition.
It is part of a programme of events for two south of Scotland nature festivals, uniting to promote "wild food".
Organisers of the Dumfries and Galloway Wild Spring Festival and the Scottish Borders Nature Festival want to help festival goers safely experience the burgeoning revival in foraged food.
From April to June, they will be hosting events where people can learn more about the conservation of local food at its source.
Professional forager Ali Murfitt will lead the exploration of Abbotsford, which was once home of Sir Walter Scott, where there are now more than 200 species of flora.
She said: "Foraging inspired and helps people to love the nature on their doorsteps.
"It highlights how much wild land, habitat and plants we have lost (and are continuing to lose) and how important it is to get involved and support habitat restoration and conservation.
"If native trees are chopped down or ecological habitats destroyed, we lose and important and sustainable source of delicious and healthy gourmet ingredients, which are greatly valued by some of the UK's top chefs and mixologists."
The Dumfries and Galloway festival will run from 3 April until 5 May, while the Borders events will be held between 14 May and 13 June.
Its ripples were felt far and wide, and across the UK thousands of people felt moved to help those embroiled in the crisis.
None more so than in the south-west of Scotland, where organisers of a mercy mission to Calais have been overwhelmed by donations.
A local Facebook group set up to collect clothing, food and camping equipment for refugees has more than 2,500 members.
It has resulted in "mountains of stuff" being given to a network of volunteers across the region by people desperate to help.
In church halls, community centres and living rooms, clothes, shoes, hygiene packs, toys, sleeping bags, and tents have been collected, sorted and packed.
The drive was launched by Moxie DePaulitte several weeks ago in an effort to "humanise" the people living in refugee camps.
"I originally wanted to do a project where I thought people could draw colourful pictures, write notes of encouragement and support that then would be sent over to people in refugee camps," she said.
"And I thought people might drop off a tin of beans or a sleeping bag or a few old clothes that I could taken down in a van and help distribute it."
The mother of three said the publication of the heartbreaking photograph of Alan Kurdi caused a "swell" in donations.
"I think the climate changed in this country towards refugees when they saw that picture," she added.
"But I personally kind of found it quite upsetting that it takes pictures of a dead baby for people to start having compassion and care, in a way.
"At least his death wasn't completely in vain because it's made people spring into action."
Mother-of-six Vanessa Gaskell was among more than a dozen volunteers who sorted through donated goods at a hall donated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Dumfries on Thursday.
The 36-year-old said she decided to volunteer after speaking to people who claimed others were "jumping on the bandwagon" to help the Syrian refugees when there are many others who have been ignored in the past.
"My opinion is if a few people can do a little bit, then that's amazing. It's better than not doing anything at all. And I don't think this is classed as a little bit, quite frankly.
"What we have seen here this week has been amazing and the amount of people that have just dropped things and run to help. It's really heart warming, it's fantastic."
Their appeal has grown "incredibly big, incredibly fast", said Ms DePaulitte. So much so that some hubs have had to close to further donations, having reached capacity.
Their initial plan to drive an articulated lorry of goods to Calais this weekend has also been put on hold.
Despite an army of volunteers, the sheer volume of donations mean they are struggling to process them - something that is necessary to ensure that each item is sent to the right place.
Ms DePaulitte said: "We've had lots of clothing, we've had food, shelter, old camping equipment, pots, pan.
"We've had children's clothes and women's clothes and toys which we said up front that we're not specifically needing for Calais but sometimes that's all people have to give - and they want to give.
"I don't want to turn them away so what we've said now is we'll send them to Kos or Hungary, maybe even Serbia or Syria."
Volunteer Elaine Scott, 74, has spent four days helping to sort clothing at the processing centre in Dumfries.
She said the response has been "absolutely incredible".
"I can't believe a little town of Dumfries can bring as much stuff as this," she added.
"The people have been wonderful. I can't understand why the churches are empty when there's so much love around."
After learning that the migrant camp in Calais has been overwhelmed by donations, Ms DePaulitte now plans to make a series of trips to France over the winter.
She said : "We don't want to give them any more logistical headaches, we want to make sure the aid we send goes to the right people and doesn't end up causing more problems so we've been trying to work with them to make sure the goods get to them in a timely fashion."
She added: "People are saying they've got loads of clothes, they've got loads of camping stuff.
"But they're living in harsh conditions, they're not just camping for the weekend and then going back home and putting their things through the wash and the tumble drier - things are rotting and destroying, people are very ill.
"So now we're hoping to slow things down, take things down a gear, and to sort of drip feed things down to Calais."
The group are still accepting donations at local hubs but she said they are most in need of financial contributions.
They also hope to acquire a flat-bed truck, a lorry with a tail lift and a fork-lift to help them with the delivery.
"It's an amazing thing that's happened in Dumfries and Galloway and people should be really proud," Ms DePaulitte said.
"People are coming from all different backgrounds, all different faiths, all political parties, everything has been dropped just to focus on people in need and it's not very often that things like that happen."
Margaret Hair, 77, said she couldn't believe the generosity of people.
"It was absolutely great. It just kind of touched your heart a wee bit. I just enjoy coming in and helping.
"That's all we can do, isn't it? Help a wee bit. If we all help a wee bit, it's amazing what we can do, working together."

Samoa's deeply conservative and devoutly Christian society centres around the extended family, which is headed by an elected chief who directs the family's social, economic and political affairs, and the church, which is a focus of recreational and social life.
The economy revolves around fishing and agriculture, which is vulnerable to cyclones and disease.
Attempts at diversification have met with success. Tourism is growing, thanks to the islands' scenic attractions and fine beaches. Offshore banking spearheads an expanding services sector. Light manufacturing is expanding and has attracted foreign investment.
Despite this, many younger Samoans are leaving for New Zealand, the US and American Samoa. Money sent home by Samoans living abroad can be a key source of household income.

The government and private operators run TV and radio stations and outlets from American Samoa are readily available.
By June 2015, there were nearly 27,000 internet users (InternetLiveStats.com). Internet cafes are widely used.
Some key dates in Samoa's history:
1722 - Dutch navigator Jacob Roggeveen is the first European to explore Samoa.
1830 - London Missionary Society arrives in Samoa.
1899 - Germany annexes Western Samoa, the US takes over eastern Samoa (American Samoa) and Britain withdraws its claim to the islands in accordance with treaty between Germany, Britain and the US.
1914 - New Zealand occupies Western Samoa during First World War and continues to administer it after the war by virtue of a League of Nations mandate (and a United Nations mandate after the Second World War).
1962 - Western Samoa becomes independent, the first Pacific island nation to do so.

The company supplies about 50,000 customers in the greater Belfast area and a further 30,000 beyond Belfast.
The price increase means a typical household customer will see bills rise by £61 a year.
Last week, the other major gas supplier in Northern Ireland, SSE Airtricity, announced it was putting up prices by more than 7%.
Firmus Energy said the move reflects the "rising natural gas commodity market" - which has seen wholesale prices in the UK go up by more than 50% over the last 12 months.
Managing director Michael Scott said: "We understand the importance of price stability for customers and apologise for having to increase prices.
"Over the past three years we have been able to reduce or maintain our prices."
The price rise follows consultation with the Utility Regulator, the independent government department responsible for regulating the electricity, gas, water and sewerage industries in Northern Ireland.
It will come into effect for Belfast customers from 7 April and for non-Belfast customers from 31 March.
Kevin Shiels, from the Utility Regulator, told Good Morning Ulster that it was "satisfied" that Firmus were justified in raising gas prices.
"To put it into some context, this is the first rise in three years and actually in two of the last three years there have been price falls.
"It is unwelcome, of course, but it is reflective of underlying costs and we're satisfied that it is justified."
He added that overall gas prices are "below the levels seen in the Republic of Ireland and on a par with levels in Great Britain".
"So, gas customers in Northern Ireland can be satisfied that the regulator is protecting them and ensuring prices are being kept as low as possible."

Paul Lane was walking alone in the Poldice Valley, near St Day, on Thursday, when he slipped and broke his leg.
His shouting alerted the ramblers from Bristol who called the emergency services.
However, the route was impassable for the ambulance, so they transported Mr Lane out of the valley on their support trailer and he was taken to hospital by the emergency services.
The group, Disabled Ramblers, aims to get mobility-challenged people out into the countryside.
The allegations against Bob Spink are related to the local election campaign in Essex for Castle Point Borough Council in 2016.
Essex Police said UKIP activist James Parkin had also been charged.
The pair have been accused of submitting false signatures on nomination papers.

Mr Spink has been charged with five counts of submitting false signatures on nomination papers on or before 5 April 2016.
Mr Parkin faces nine counts of the same charge.
Four of the charges in Mr Parkin's case relate specifically to false signatures while the remaining five related to obtaining genuine signatures by misleading electors about what they were signing for.
Both men will appear at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on 25 April.
Jane Tweddle-Taylor, from Blackpool, was a receptionist at South Shore Academy School in the seaside town.
Ms Tweddle-Taylor had been waiting with her friend, who survived along with her children.
Jane Bailey, principal of South Shore Academy, said she was a "truly wonderful friend and colleague".
"As our receptionist, she was in many ways, the public face of the school and she represented us amazingly in this role," she said.
"We have received numerous messages of condolence from parents, students, community members and colleagues across Blackpool for which we are very grateful.
"All of them say the same things about our lovely Jane... bubbly, kind, welcoming, funny, generous... the list goes on.
"Our thoughts are also with her family at this dreadful time and in particular her three daughters. In our school family and theirs she is irreplaceable, much loved and will never be forgotten."
A two-minute silence is to be held outside Blackpool Town Hall at 12:00 BST on Thursday, where a book of condolence has been opened, to remember Ms Tweddle-Taylor.
Leader of Blackpool Council Simon Blackburn said: "We send our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Jane, a valued and respected member of staff at South Shore Academy.
"This is an incredibly tragic event and our hearts and prayers are with everyone."
The town hall flag will fly at half-mast all week and Blackpool Tower will be lit up red, white and blue in honour of the victims of the attack, he added.
Twenty-one people died when two bombs were detonated in the city centre in November 1974.
The so-called Birmingham Six were freed from prison in 1991. No-one else has ever been charged over the attacks.
Michael Christopher Hayes has said he is sorry innocent people were killed.
Julie Hambleton, whose sister Maxine died in the 1974 atrocity, said Mick Hayes had admitted nothing.
'He's a coward, as simple as that.
"He said he does not want to be an informer, he'd rather die? Oh, really? So he's more than happy to help and take collective responsibility for those who were murdered and unarmed, innocents... but he won't tell us who actually did it and also dismisses himself as being party to it?
"He's gutless and spineless… he's told us nothing, he's admitted nothing.
"It's very difficult to have credibility in anybody who's been in with the IRA as they like to rewrite history... so no, not really and if he wants to make claims he needs to bring evidence instead of sitting in a seat feeling comfortable, having had legal advice."
Paul Rowlands, who lost his father John, said Mr Hayes's comments add to the rumours.
"I'm not convinced of his role in the pub bombing.
"There's information we've seen that can't be made public that contradicts what he says.
"He just adds more depth and suspicion to the rumours.
"We'd like to see information we have had as families being put out to the public.
"People will go away thinking he did it and we don't need to look further - and we do."
Paul Bodman, whose father Stanley was killed, said Mr Hayes chose his words carefully.
"We're getting closer to the truth.
"He's been primed about what to say. He's been told what to say, that's come across quite clearly.
"He's leading us down a cul-de-sac."
George Jones, son of victim John Clifford Jones, said the public were being kept in the dark.
"The facts he has put forward have been in the public domain for a while.
"The fact he is saying he dismantled the third bomb, that was published some time ago.
"But there's one person who comes up again in this documentary that's never been named for security reasons.
"Now that needs opening up in my opinion."
Margaret Hambleton, mother of Maxine, said she only wanted to say one thing about Mr Hayes.
"I don't want to waste my breath on that parasite. He's a liar. We know he's lying. He's an idiot. The government are just as bad."
Her son Joe Hambleton said he did not believe Mr Hayes.
"I'd like to go to Ireland to meet the man myself and ask him a few questions about what he knows.
"He said he dismantled the third bomb... what's the use in that being there?
"He's horrified by what the bombs done? What did he think [other bombs in pubs] were going to do? Pop? Just be a little banger and the alarm go off and everyone run out?
"He didn't know what he was doing?"
Joe's sister Jane Hambleton said she felt he had been advised on what to say.
"His strings are being pulled.
"What do they think placing a bomb in Birmingham pubs and shopping centres in Warrington and Omagh... what sort of result did they expect?
Her brother Brian Hambleton said Mr Hayes was avoiding answering direct questions.
"His words are about a reliable as the detonator on the bomb at Barclays Bank which fizzled out.
"He is an absolute liar.... I'd love to meet this man. If he is a brave soldier, he'd meet us if he had nothing to hide.
"It's obvious in that interview, he's avoiding all questions.
"He's being coerced in what to say."

Birmingham pub bombings: What we know
Worrall, 20, who made his debut in October and has since played 10 times, is now contracted until June 2020.
The locally-born central defender told BBC Radio Nottingham: "It has been a long time coming but to get it over the line is a very proud day for me.
"Signing a new contract is very good and I am very happy to sign with Nottingham Forest."
The Reds have also extended the contract of midfielder Ryan Yates until 2019.
The 19-year-old has yet to play for the first team, but is currently on loan at Shrewsbury after a spell with Barrow earlier in the season.
The Sunday Times published data from 5,000 athletes, which it says reveals an "extraordinary extent of cheating".
Athletics' governing body the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said the claims were "sensationalist and confusing".
Wada's investigation will be led by its independent commission.
Sir Craig Reedie, Wada president, said his organisation "deplores the manner in which the data was obtained" and had concerns over athlete confidentiality.
The Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD/WDR obtained access to the results of 12,000 blood tests between 2001 and 2012 as part of their investigation.
Reedie added that it would be "irresponsible and potentially libellous" to imply that any athlete on the database had been involved in doping.
"I ask that any athlete, or anti-doping organization, concerned that their rights are being eroded or inappropriately challenged, refer those concerns to the commission," he said.
Some of the data obtained pre-dates the 2009 introduction of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), an electronic record of athletes' doping tests.
Wada director general David Howman said this data "could not possibly be considered doping, legally or otherwise".
"In addition, atypical blood data, which may be within this database from 2009-2012, is not necessarily indicative of doping," he added.
Lord Coe, an IAAF vice-president, said the introduction of blood passports had "chased some of the highest-named athletes out of our sport".
Coe has said the allegations were a "declaration of war" on athletics and believes it is time to "come out fighting" to protect the sport's reputation.
In a statement, the IAAF said it "warmly welcomed" Wada's investigation and confirmed it has agreed to send its full database with pre-2009 data to the organisation.
When dealing with cancer, I also prefer not to talk about cure - it's a hostage to fortune, given that the disease can lie dormant for long periods only to emerge many years later.
Headline writers like both terms - they form a neat shorthand to advertise many stories of medical advance.
"Breakthrough" does seem justified, whereas "cure" does not, when referring to a slew of results from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) concerning a new generation of cancer treatments.
The main excitement from ASCO was prompted by a form of treatment known as immunotherapy - using drugs which unmask the ability of cancer to switch off the immune system and so hide from the body's natural killer cells.
In a key trial, nearly six in ten patients with advanced melanoma saw their disease halted for almost a year when treated with a combination of ipilimumab and a new immunotherapy drug, nivolumab.
Until recently survival time for patients with melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, was just a few months.
For the BBC's Panorama, I followed one patient, Vicky Brown, 61, from Cardiff, who was part of the major trial led by London's Royal Marsden Hospital and Institute of Cancer Research.
Her melanoma had spread to her breast, lungs and neck and she initially thought she had months to live.
Instead the combination therapy shrank her tumours and left her apparently disease-free for two years.
Although there were severe but temporary side-effects on her liver, Vicky says the treatment gave her her life back.
Vicky has recently been diagnosed with another tumour in her lung, so will need follow-up treatment.
That is why it is premature to talk about curing advanced cancer, which has spread through the body.
Nonetheless, given the grim outlook that used to exist for advanced melanoma, it's easy to see why cancer specialists have been using terms such as "game-changing" and "paradigm shift".
Not least because immunotherapy treatments are also showing promise with several other forms of cancer.
But these new drugs come at a price.
They cost hundreds of millions of pounds to develop - many treatments that go through trials end up in costly failure.
So the drug companies want to make a return on investment - and a profit for shareholders - while the drugs are still on patent, before cheaper generic versions are available.
Ipilimumab, one of the combination immunotherapy drugs in the trial, costs around £75,000 per patient.
The other drug in the melanoma trial, nivolumab, is not yet licensed in Europe. It has also been shown to extend life expectancy in lung cancer - the biggest of all cancer killers.
It is licensed in Japan at a reported cost of nearly £100,000 a patient, although once approved in the UK there would be a confidential NHS agreed price, as with other new drugs.
Several pharma companies have immunotherapy drugs undergoing trials, with promising results against melanoma, lung, liver, bowel, head and neck cancers.
There is also plenty of excitement about a new range of cancer drugs which target genetic weaknesses in tumours.
These are the result of our far greater understanding of the biology of cancer, and the genetic switches which drive the disease.
Increasingly doctors will classify cancer, not by the organ of origin, but by its genetic make-up.
Some men with prostate cancer have been shown to benefit from a drug originally intended for women with inherited genetic defects leading to breast and ovarian cancer.
The drug, olaparib, was recently licensed for ovarian cancer, but has just been rejected by the drug watchdog NICE, on grounds - at £4,000 a month - of cost.
The regulator said it had not yet shown it extended life expectancy beyond existing drugs.
Such data may take years to emerge. The trials do show that the drug is often better tolerated, with fewer side-effects, than conventional chemotherapy.
The decision has dismayed British cancer researchers, who spent 20 years developing the drug and say around 450 women a year will be denied access.
Expect many more difficult decisions on cancer drugs. There are potentially dozens of new treatments coming through in the next few years.
With a finite health budget and competing demands from dementia, stroke, heart disease, diabetes and more, the NHS will have to make some challenging decisions on what price it puts on extending the lives of cancer patients.

Starting on 43-1, the hosts lost Chris Nash to Graham Onions with the third ball of the day before Wells and Van Zyl made a third-wicket stand of 376.
Wells' innings included 34 fours and seven sixes, and he smashed 32 in one over before falling to Paul Coughlin.
Coughlin removed Luke Wright for a duck soon after, but Sussex lead by 165.
It was a 14th first-class century for left-hander Wells, who is making his comeback after a long-term knee injury.
The partnership between Wells and South African Van Zyl broke the previous best for any wicket by any county in a first-class match against Durham, which was the unbroken stand of 366 between Yorkshire's England pair Jonny Bairstow and Tim Bresnan in 2015.
However, they fell short of Sussex's third-wicket record of 385, set by Michael Yardy and Murray Goodwin against Warwickshire in 2006.
Durham were not helped by losing experienced seamer Onions to injury before lunch, leaving them a bowler down.
Their opponents lost their opening two County Championship games of the season, but look favourites for victory unless the visitors can produce a strong batting performance of their own in reply.
He accused Labour ministers, "hand-in-hand with nationalists", of "pulling up the ladder on hard working people".
A bill to abolish the Thatcher-era policy was published on Monday.
Later at the event, Prime Minister Theresa May set out her desire to create a "more united" Britain.
If follows Nicola Sturgeon's demand for a second independence referendum for Scotland.
Mr Davies told fellow party members on Friday that the right-to-buy policy had "allowed generations of people to get on in life and buy their own home".
"You only have to look at Wales if you want to see the devastating impact of policies wanted by the likes of Jeremy Corbyn can have on hardworking people," he said.
"A Labour Party, hand in hand with the nationalists, pulling up the ladder on people who just want to get on in life and support their family."
The Welsh Conservative leader used the conference to send a message to nationalists who want "to tear the union apart".
He said Brexit was a "significant opportunity to create a fairer Wales and a better Britain".
"The United Kingdom that we cherish is not a thing of the past," he said.
"It remains - as ever - the world's greatest family of nations
"Nicola Sturgeon, take note: This great union is here to stay."
He also attacked Labour's handling of public services in Wales.
But his speech made no mention of last year's assembly election result, when the Tories lost three seats, coming third behind Labour and Plaid Cymru.
Criticising the deal between Plaid and Labour in the assembly which allowed Carwyn Jones to be re-nominated as first minister, Mr Davies said it was time for "Labour's crutches to be taken away".
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood had chosen "power without responsibility", he said.
Mr Davies began his speech with a nod to his last appearance at a Tory conference when he confused Brexit with breakfast: "the meal which made me go viral for all the wrong reasons".
Continuing the attacks on Plaid and the SNP, Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns accused nationalist politicians of "constructing barriers where they simply don't exist".
"But the case for the union is not only emotional; it's logical, sensible, and practical," he said.
"Put simply, we achieve more together. This isn't political rhetoric, it's common sense."
The claims were made to MPs at a hearing into the collapse of the firm.
In a scathing attack, the ex-chief executive of BHS, Darren Topp, alleged Mr Chappell threatened to kill him during a row over company money.
Mr Chappell described that claim as "absolute rubbish" in a comment to a reporter after he had given evidence.
Mr Chappell, whose Retail Acquisitions bought BHS for £1 last year, defended his recovery plan for BHS, saying it had been "credible and viable".
He told MPs that as the 163-store chain teetered on the edge of collapse, Sir Philip Green, whose Arcadia group sold BHS to Mr Chappell last year, scuppered a rescue deal with Mike Ashley, the owner of Sports Direct.
However, Sir Philip has denied knowing of any bid interest from Mr Ashley.
Earlier, Mr Topp said he initially took Mr Chappell's claim to be a turnaround specialist and property expert at face value. When Mr Chappell's promises "unravelled", rather than "putting money in" he had "his fingers in the till," Mr Topp said.
Former BHS financial consultant Michael Hitchcock was similarly scathing of Mr Chappell and his team. He told MPs: "I think I was duped. I think the technical term is a mythomaniac. The lay person's term is he was a premier league liar and a Sunday pub league retailer. At best."
He added: "The credibility and ability of the people Dominic surrounded himself with were not fit for purpose... I fundamentally don't think he understood what was going on.
"I question his intelligence, he wasn't a retailer. The motive was purely for his own benefit. There is a big smell test which I adopt in a lot of these situations, and it just did not smell right," Mr Hitchcock said.
What we have learnt for sure is that Retail Acquisitions Limited, the company set up to buy BHS from Sir Philip, was not a normal company.
Some directors resigned the minute the deal was done as they felt uncomfortable that the board was becoming stuffed with friends of Dominic Chappell. This is a board remember that voted in favour of using company money to refinance the mortgage of Mr Chappell's father.
The stage is now set for Sir Philip Green to take the hot seat next Wednesday. He calls the shots at BHS's former parent company Arcadia and its ultimate owner Taveta Investments, which in turn is owned by his wife Lady Tina Green. That set up is not exactly normal either.
Mr Chappell, a former racing driver with limited retail experience, had promised to put millions of pounds into a BHS after he bought it from Sir Philip Green's Arcadia group.
He said his business plan for BHS was fundamentally sound and the retailer could have survived if he had been able to raise sufficient funds.
However, there are questions over his decision to transfer about £1.5m out of the company to Sweden. Mr Topp said his initial reaction to hearing of the transfer was to call the police.
During a heated phone call, Mr Topp told MPs, Mr Chappell threatened to kill him. "If you kick off about it, I'll come down there and kill you," Mr Chappell is alleged to have said.
However a Daily Telegraph reporter tweeted that, after the hearing, Mr Chappell described that claim as "absolute rubbish".
The money was transferred back to BHS, minus transaction fees.
Meanwhile, Mr Hitchcock said he was forced to change the company's bank mandate to "stop any chance of money flowing outside of the business".
During his questioning, Mr Chappell said Sir Philip could have done more to help save BHS, rather than tip it into administration.
Arcadia was a major secured creditor, and it was Sir Philip who took the decision to call in administrators Duff & Phelps, Mr Chappell said.
Mr Chappell claimed that just before BHS went into administration he had arranged a rescue deal backed by the billionaire owner of Sports Direct, Mike Ashley.
On learning of this deal, "Philip went absolutely crazy, screaming and shouting down the phone that he didn't want to get involved with Mike Ashley," Mr Chappell said, adding that it was then that Sir Philip called in a £35m loan.
During the hearing Mr Chappell also accused administrator Duff & Phelps of being "heavily conflicted" because of its close connection with Sir Philip, describing the firm as the billionaire's "ponies".
Mr Chappell also said he was looking at launching a legal suit against Arcadia and Sir Philip over a BHS property sale by the tycoon to his stepson. He claimed that BHS missed out on £3.5m because of it.
However, a spokesman for Sir Philip denied those claims. He said he was "unaware of any bid interest by Mike Ashley."
Moreover, Sir Philip had not chosen the BHS administrator, and "did not ban or block Retail Acquisitions from meeting with the pensions regulator", the spokesman said.
BHS could have been saved had Mr Chappell "brought funding to the table," he continued.
Sir Philip's firm Arcadia "invested substantially in BHS and there was significant funding at the point of sale. He [Sir Philip] gave Retail Acquisitions every opportunity to succeed in the turnaround," the spokesman added.
The BHS pension scheme, fully funded a decade ago, now has a £571m pension deficit and negotiations over plugging these liabilities formed a key part talks to rescue the retailer.
Mr Chappell claimed BHS was "held to ransom" by the Pensions Regulator and Sir Philip. He said he attempted to meet the Pensions Minister three times, only for her to cancel on the grounds of being conflicted.
Also during his evidence, Mr Chappell:
MPs have already taken evidence from the pensions regulator and financial advisers on the sale of BHS to Retail Acquisitions. Sir Philip is due to appear later this month.
The Business, Innovation and Skills Committee and the Work and Pensions Committee are hearing evidence into the collapse of the 163-store group, which resulted in up to 11,000 jobs losses and left a huge hole in the pension fund.
Duff & Phelps announced last month that BHS would be wound down with the loss of up to 11,000 jobs after efforts to find a buyer failed.
BHS, which went into administration in April after the company ran out of money and could not pay suppliers, is holding closing down sales over the coming weeks.

Cambridge City Football Club wants to build a 3,000-capacity stadium, with 300 parking spaces, two floodlit pitches and a gym open to the public.
The proposed site is on green belt land just north of Sawston, a village to the south of Cambridge.
The club wants to gather residents' opinions on the proposal before it puts in a formal planning application.
Its plans are being included in South Cambridgeshire District Council's local plan, which will set planning policies for the area.
Residents have raised concerns about increased traffic and parking problems at the proposed new stadium site, which is at a former tip at Dales Manor Business Park.
The Southern League Premier Division club has played at its current home, Milton Road, since 1922.
It sold the stadium to a property developer in 2006 and is in line to receive 50% of the profits from any future development of the site.
In February, Cambridge City Council approved plans for 138 homes to be built at the stadium, meaning the team will leave the ground at the end of this season.
The club is looking for a temporary home to play at until a permanent stadium is built.
Club president Len Satchell said: "We are having to move from our historic ground in Cambridge and find a new home for the club.
"It has been good to have the help of the council.
"We hope the community will join in the debate and make their views known."
The local plan consultation for Sawston closes on 6 May.
Offices and student flats were evacuated in London Road after the leak happened at 13:50 GMT near Moss Street.
It later emerged an electricity cable had burnt through a gas main while work took place near a disused pub.
The Royal Liverpool University Hospital was not affected and ambulances were able to operate despite road closures.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue incident commander John O'Boyle said: "The pipe was ruptured by workmen and there was a concern about gas leaking from the basement.
"Of course the combination of gas and electricity is not good, but there have been no reports of any injuries."
The leak has been stopped and all roads except Moss Street have been reopened, a spokeswoman for National Grid said.
Gas readings are being checked at evacuated properties and if they are safe, residents should be able to return later on Wednesday evening, she said.
Scottish Power still needs to do work on a cable so Moss Street will remain closed on Thursday, she added.
A 50m (165ft) cordon was placed around the site of the leak, causing traffic congestion and major disturbance to public transport.
Ambulance, fire crews and police officers attended as well as staff from the National Grid and British Gas Transco.
A hospital spokesman said: "Traffic to and from the hospital is particularly heavy so we are encouraging visitors and relatives to leave extra time for their journey.
"Traffic diversions and additional parking arrangements are in place currently for those visiting at the hospital until further notice."
Officers said the trio caused "significant damage" to the building during the incident at a farm in Town Yetholm, near Kelso.
They made off with the metal safe, which contained about £20, after removing it from a concrete slab at around 02:00 on Thursday.
PC Suzanne Hall said the actions of the three men were "disgraceful".
"As well as the box being taken which contained approximately £20, a substantial amount of damage has been caused to the shed and the actions of those responsible is disgraceful," she said.
"Anyone who may have seen suspicious behaviour in the area between these times is asked to get in touch as soon as possible."
The men were all of average build and they were wearing dark clothing. One man had a distinctive number three on the back of his top.
Guy Hamilton was found with serious injuries when police were called to Meetings View, Ormsgill, Barrow-in-Furness, on Saturday night.
The 35-year-old, of Meetings View, was taken to Furness General Hospital but died a short time later, police said.
Damien Hill, 44, of no fixed address, appeared at Furness Magistrates' earlier. He was remanded in custody to appear at Preston Crown Court on 5 May.
Buzzfeed News is reporting that "more than dozens" of Facebook employees have created an unofficial task force dedicated to addressing the issue.
Buzzfeed quoted one member of that task force, who did not want to be named over fears for their job.
“[Mark Zuckerberg] knows, and those of us at the company know, that fake news ran wild on our platform during the entire campaign season,” the source said.
Facebook has not responded to the BBC’s request for comment on Buzzfeed’s report.
Meanwhile, Google on Monday announced it would do more to prevent fake news sites from making money through advertising. Shortly after, Facebook made explicit a similar restriction on the use of its ad network.

Facebook fake news: Denzel praises Trump
Earlier on Monday Facebook denied claims that a tool to whittle out fake news had been created before the election, only to be shelved due to concerns it would make Facebook look like it was censoring conservative views.
Mr Zuckerberg appears to be increasingly agitated by the suggestion that fake news was a serious problem on his site.
On Saturday night he posted a lengthy update to his profile page defending it.
"Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99% of what people see is authentic,” he wrote.
"Only a very small amount is fake news and hoaxes. The hoaxes that do exist are not limited to one partisan view, or even to politics."
His conclusion: "Overall, this makes it extremely unlikely hoaxes changed the outcome of this election in one direction or the other."
That statistic - 99% - has been the subject of much derision as it apparently refers to content of any kind being posted to Facebook.
In May, Facebook came under heavy criticism after it was alleged that human editors working on the Trending Topics section of Facebook were removing stories that pushed a conservative or pro-Trump agenda.
Facebook denied this was the case, but removed the human element anyway in an attempt to appear neutral.
Facebook is not alone in coming under fire over fake news.
Google said it would be clamping down on abuses of its AdSense advertising platform.
"We will restrict ad serving on pages that misrepresent, misstate, or conceal information about the publisher, the publisher's content, or the primary purpose of the web property,” said Google spokeswoman Andrea Faville.
That announcement followed reports that Google’s top-ranking news result for the term "final election result” highlighted a story from a fake news site with inaccurate information on the vote tally.
Not long after Google's announcement, Facebook said it too had added "fake news" to the types of site not allowed to use the Facebook Audience Network, a system similar to Google's Adsense but smaller in scale and limited to third-party apps.
Facebook said its decision was about clarity rather than any new policy, and that no action was being taken against any service as a result.

Kenny McLean passed up the hosts' best chance earlier when he volleyed over.
Saints' David Wotherspoon had a goal ruled out for offside, before his free-kick late on was pushed onto the bar by Dons goalkeeper Joe Lewis.
That proved crucial as Graeme Shinnie crossed for Rooney to head home in the final minute of normal time.
When a manager can call upon a player with the goal-scoring prowess of Rooney from the bench, it must surely give him confidence that goals will eventually come their way.
From the moment Rooney replaced Jayden Stockley in the 73rd minute, it was evident the striker did not fancy playing an additional 30 minutes against St Johnstone.
That said, his one and only chance came in the 90th minute. When the ball left the right foot of Shinnie from the left flank, heading towards the Saints' six-yard box, it was clear Rooney fancied his chances
His footwork and movement in evading the attention of Saints defenders was textbook and should be a lesson to youngsters up and down the country as to how to put the ball in the back of the net.
The impact James Maddison has made in his short time at Pittodrie is extremely impressive. The teenager tormented St Johnstone midfielder Murray Davidson throughout the night with a flurry of touches that at times were embarrassing for the Saints player.
At 19, his touch on the ball was immense and his game awareness was a delight to watch.
His loan spell from Norwich City is only until January, but Dons fans can be reassured boss Derek McInnes will be looking to extend that until the end of the season.
They say that penalties are a tough way to lose a game but this tie took a massive twist with just seconds remaining on the clock.
Had Dons keeper Joe Lewis not made a magnificent save from Wotherspoon's free-kick, it would probably have been Saints taking on Morton for a place in the Betfred Cup final.
But St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright is more than capable of picking his players up for Sunday's Premiership match against Hamilton.
The wily old fox will use all his years of experience to ensure the disappointment of a last-minute defeat does not linger on in the McDiarmid Park dressing room.
It will hurt but they will bounce back.
Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes: "It was a proper cup tie. No quarter given, both teams showing real determination, fighting for every inch. There was very few opportunities for both sides in the game. Both teams defended very well and you just got the feeling one goal was going to win it.
"I was delighted with the impact of the subs again, it was the same on Sunday at Dens. [Peter] Pawlett and Rooney came on and gave us a different dynamic, and typical Adam, he only needs half a chance.
"His movement was really bright. He got half a yard on [Steven] Anderson but he still had to guide it into the far corner."
St Johnstone's Tommy Wright: "We are extremely disappointed. I thought it was going to extra time. I wouldn't say the players did everything asked of them, because if we had done a bit more with the ball, we might have won the game.
"Zander [Clark] didn't have a save to make even thought they had pressure. We probably had the clearest chance with David Wotherspoon - the linesman put his flag up very late - and Joe Lewis made an incredible save from David. I am proud at how we stayed in the game, but we can pass the ball better than that."
Asked about an incident in the tunnel after the game, Wright said: "There was a bit of shouting and balling and yelling. Aberdeen have a right to celebrate but they left the dressing room door open and the music was deafening. Our players were a bit upset and one of them shut the door. But there was nothing in it."

The ground at which Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC play is physically attached to Wales' Principality Stadium home.
"Dialogue is taking place with many parties regarding the project, including the WRU, as we consider the best way forward," said Holland.
Recent reports have linked Blues with a takeover by the WRU.
The rugby region has a lease from Cardiff Athletic Club (Cac) which ends in January 2022, and it wants a long-term extension so it can redevelop the city centre site.
It wants a 15,000-capacity stadium with a retractable pitch and sliding roof so it can be used as a concert venue, as well as building an exhibition centre, a hotel and flats.
Cac's agreement is needed to allow the redevelopment to go ahead.
It is a body made up of Cardiff tennis, bowls, hockey and cricket clubs which has a clubhouse at the Arms Park.
Holland said that an extraordinary meeting of Cac to discuss the plan is "imminent".
He added: "The whole drive behind this project is to secure the playing of rugby at Cardiff Arms Park and for it to remain the home of Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC for generations to come."

It will be the equivalent of 23 storeys high and will sit on top of a five-storey "nest".
Andy Gill from BBC North West Tonight reports.
Scary clowns were first reported in the US in August and have quickly spread to the UK, Australia and now Brazil.
The craze, in which people dress up in masks and scare members of the public, has received widespread attention with the help of social media.
McDonald's did not say how many of its clown's appearances would be cut.
Ronald McDonald has not commented on the move.
"McDonald's and franchisees in local markets are mindful of the current climate around clown sightings in communities and as such are being thoughtful with respect to Ronald McDonald's participation in community events for the time being," a statement said.
Ronald McDonald, a pasty-faced, scarlet-wigged clown with an expression of permanent surprise, has been a global icon for the franchise for decades.
In August, locals in Greenville, South Carolina reported people dressed in fright wigs and full clown make-up trying to lure children into the woods.
Australian police also arrested a 19-year-old for scaring residents.
A student dressed as a chainsaw-wielding clown was filmed chasing other students on a UK university campus. He has apologised saying he was "only chasing his friends".
Police have increased patrols outside some schools, and asked fancy dress shops to remove clown masks from sale.
They say United's brand is worth $739m (£439m), down $98m on last year.
That makes it the third most valuable football brand after Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's victory in the Champions League final on Saturday helped boost its brand value. The club already has the biggest sales of any football club.
The authors say an improvement in the Spanish economy could help the club retain the top brand spot.
And they add that "with arguably the finest player in the world in the shape of Ronaldo" and now a first Champions League title since 2002, "Real's brand is back on a solid footing".
Gareth Bale helped Real Madrid win their 10th European Cup as they finally overcame neighbours Atletico Madrid in a compelling Champions League final in Lisbon.
But despite Real's strong season, Bayern Munich has the most valuable brand in football for the second year running according to the report.
The authors point to the Bavarian club's record points haul in winning the Bundesliga title in the 2013-14 season.
English clubs Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are placed from fifth to eighth most valuable.
Manchester United will be hoping the appointment of Louis van Gaal will reverse its fortunes both on and off the pitch next season.
Speaking on Dutch TV station RTL last week, Mr Van Gaal said his immediate objectives were to return United to "number one spot" as soon as possible, and that fans "will think they are champions of England again within a year".
The Brand Finance report said that "shrewd commercial management" has shielded Manchester United's brand from more serious damage.
"However, another season in the wilderness, outside the Champions League, will see brand value truly plunge, and leave few sponsors willing to do a deal with the [Red] Devils," the report said.
For the three months to the end of March, Manchester United reported profits of £11m, up from £3.6m a year ago. The club also posted record revenues of £115.5m for the period.
Brand Finance defines brand value as the cost another party would have to pay to license the use of a brand.
To calculate that cost the consultancy looked at a range of factors, including the mix of revenue, value of squad, and club heritage.

They made no plea or declaration and were remanded in custody.
They are expected to appear in court again next Friday.
The pair, from Kilmarnock, are also accused of attempting to defeat the ends of justice. | England's top judge has said "open justice" meant a Royal Marine jailed for murdering an Afghan insurgent had to be named.

Lionel Messi's double in Glasgow ensured Rodgers' side will finish bottom of Champions League Group C.
Celtic had opened the group stage with a 7-0 defeat in Barcelona.
Rodgers said: "The team deserve a big credit. If you look at the first game compared to now, we weren't fearful."
Barcelona's victory, combined with Borussia Monchengladbach's 1-1 draw with Manchester City, ensured the final group placings are decided with one match to play.
City, who host Celtic on 6 December, will finish second behind group winners Barcelona, with Gladbach dropping into the Europa League in the New Year.
Rodgers' men fell behind on Wednesday when Neymar's chipped pass found Messi and the Argentine drilled low past Craig Gordon.
After Moussa Dembele had a header saved by visiting goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Emilio Izaguirre fouled Luis Suarez and Messi converted the penalty.
"I thought how we pressed the game tactically was very good," said Rodgers.
"They have huge quality, of course, but they didn't have anywhere near as many chances as you would normally see. I was very pleased with the performance.
"First goal we're disappointed with. We just switch off on the edge of the box. It's the quality and the speed of the movement and the pass that catches us out."
Rodgers felt his side were "always in the game" and that Suarez, whom he managed at Liverpool, had been "clever" to win the penalty.
"We had a big chance with the header, another opportunity when we broke away in the second half and then obviously we get punished for the penalty," he said.
"I didn't think it was a penalty. What Luis is clever at is he grabs hold of the defender and spins around and looks like he's pulled to the ground.
"It was a key moment. The referee didn't give us so much during the night but that's the way it goes sometimes."
Celtic, who failed to reach the group stage in the previous two seasons, came through two qualifiers and a play-off this year.
"We had a huge effort in the summer to qualify," said Rodgers. "This experience was always going to be invaluable, lots of young players in the team that will improve.
"We've played three of the best teams in Europe over the course of this competition and we've gradually got better with each game.
"We've now got to go on and make sure we can get into it next year, and each year the club is in it, it improves on and off the field. That is our ambition."
Winger Scott Sinclair was withdrawn at half-time and Rodgers said he will be monitored in the build-up to Sunday's Scottish League Cup final against Aberdeen.
"We didn't want to take any risks," he said.
Figures from data body NHS Digital show that the amount of NHS land in England earmarked for sale has more than doubled in the past year.
Analysis commissioned by Labour found 117 sites deemed surplus were still in medical or clinical use.
Ministers said selling land would give vital funds for patient care and free up space for much needed new housing.
The government has set itself a target of selling off enough public sector land to generate £5bn worth of income by 2020.
The NHS is asked to contribute as a major property owner.
NHS property being included for sale includes hospital buildings and some ambulance stations.
But Labour said hospitals were being stripped of their assets and forced into a "fire sale".
Shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth said: "This government's refusal to fund the health service has seen standards of care for patients drop and NHS building and upgrade works pushed back.
"The NHS needs an urgent injection of funding to make up for years of Tory underfunding, but the answer is not a blanket sell-off of sites which are currently being used for patient care."
The Department for Health said disposing of surplus land and buildings reduced running costs and it was right to put sites that were no longer needed to economic use.
It said any income generated would be used to improve the quality of the NHS.
Police said the metal was taken from the roof of Laurieston Parish Church in Polmont Road between Thurday 12 January and Sunday 15 January.
Officers said the church was undergoing repair work at the time of the theft.
They said the thieves gained access to the roof via scaffolding which had been erected as part of the work.
The Grecians made a terrible start and it was their own doing as they fell behind on seven minutes.
Goalkeeper Christy Pym saw a clearance charged down by Luke Berry and he ran out to atone for his error.
Pym then got in the way of team-mate Luke Croll, the two Exeter players leaving the ball for each other, and Berry took full advantage to nip in and roll the ball into the net from 25 yards.
On 10 minutes it was 2-0 and down to more awful defending. A long ball into the box was not dealt with and Harrison Dunk lashed a low shot past Pym from 18 yards.
Pym made a brilliant stop to deny Leon Legge and Cambridge substitute Adam McGurk dragged a shot wide after more error-prone Exeter defending.
Substitute Joel Grant gave Exeter hope when he headed in from Craig Woodman's cross on 73 minutes and Lee Holmes came close to an equaliser late on only for his short to be superbly blocked.

Instead, amid winds that got stronger as the day got longer, it became a hard grind for the best of them in the opening round of the Scottish Open.
Russell Knox was a mixture of contentment and weariness after his level-par 72 in the opening round of the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart.
"It felt like we were out there for about 10 hours," Knox said.
Trooping in after five and a hours spent fighting 25-30mph winds, Knox was three behind the pace, but it could have been a whole lot more had he not kept himself together at the tail end of the draw and in the most difficult conditions of the day.
"It was about as windy as you can play golf in. It was a long ,long day. Tricky conditions. I'm going to sleep good tonight."
Knox was happy, but also frustrated. He levelled criticism at the way par-5 18th hole was set-up, a brute that played directly into the wind.
"It was a terrible set-up on that hole in my opinion. It was 600 yards (actually it was 607 yards) into a 30mph wind. They could have moved the tee up. I disagree with that hole. I hit three good shots and then three bad putts (for a bogey six).
"All day you had to put so much thought into every shot. You know, 140 yards into a 25mph wind plays 180 yards. We were constantly thinking and that makes it hard.
"It was very close to being unplayable. On a couple of the exposed holes the ball was moving a little bit. They could quite easily have stopped it.
"Our group backed off putts about ten times. It took five and a half hours but I don't think we could have played much faster."
An illustration of the havoc the wind was causing came again on the 16th and 17th holes, the former a 337-yard par 4 and the latter a 226-yard par 3.
"I needed to hit more club on the par 3 than I did on the par 4. That shows you. It was goofy golf, but I hung in there. I'm happy but I've got to go out and do it again."
Greek MPs passed a law to give back jobs to some 4,000 workers who were laid off under severe austerity cuts.
It comes as Athens seeks a deal on more financial aid ahead of a meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Monday.
Greece is running out of money as it has to pay €750m ($845m; £555m) to the International Monetary Fund on 12 May.
International creditors have demanded cuts in spending, including plans to trim the civil service and privatisation of state assets, in order for Greece to continue receiving loans.
On Thursday, the Greek parliament adopted a bill to rehire school guards, cleaning ladies and civil servants who lost their jobs or were earmarked for dismissal under the austerity programme.
Last year, 32 cleaning ladies sacked by the Greek finance ministry came to the European Parliament in Strasbourg in France to plead their case.
The insistence of the cleaners - who were replaced by cheaper workers - made them famous all over Greece.
Thursday's bill in the Greek parliament does not violate the terms of a massive bailout by the EU and IMF, which allows Athens to hire one public employee for every five who leave.
But the move - combined with the reopening of the public broadcaster ERT - is likely to face criticism from the eurozone negotiators.
Euclid Tsakalotos, the Greek minister leading the talks with creditors, told the BBC it was time for the EU and IMF to show they supported Athens in its desire to do things a little differently.
"We have said from the beginning that we have red lines and we need to have the flexibility that our partners said would be available to us."
"There must be things that we support, that we bring to the table with a different logic. Because if there was nothing with a different logic, why wouldn't we have just supported the old regime in the first place?"
The talks with the IMF and EU are expected to continue over the weekend.
EU officials say a deal is unlikely before Greece has to make the IMF payment on Tuesday, the BBC's Europe correspondent Chris Morris says.
Eurozone officials say no further loans will be released until further economic reforms have been agreed.
For a radical left-wing government - which was elected on a promise of ending austerity - that is proving a difficult pill to swallow, our correspondent adds.
Greece needs progress at Monday's meeting because that is likely to affect the willingness of the European Central Bank to allow the continued emergency lending that is keeping Greek commercial banks afloat.
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis insisted the country would meet Tuesday's deadline.
He also rejected the view that his country had been reckless with bailout money, saying that 91% of the bailout funds his country had received so far had been spent on repaying banks, particularly northern European banks such as Germany's - rather than helping Greece's economy.
And he again stressed that Greece had no intention of leaving the euro.
Greece met its deadline on Wednesday for a repayment for €200m.

Figures released today show that Nigeria is officially in recession for the first time in more than a decade. But why is it struggling and how are people coping?
He was shot by loyalist paramilitaries in front of his young family at their home in Belfast in February 1989.
Geraldine Finucane challenged former Prime Minister David Cameron over his refusal to hold a public inquiry.
But the Court of Appeal in Belfast has dismissed her appeal, concluding the government had acted lawfully.
It ruled ministers were entitled to depart from the policies of previous governments.
It also emerged during the judgement that the PSNI was close to completing an investigation into new information about the shooting.
In taking the case, Mrs Finucane had argued that in 2004, a previous administration - Tony's Blair's Labour government - had promised that a public inquiry would be held.
But she said Mr Cameron reneged on that and instead commissioned a review of the case by Sir Desmond de Silva QC.
The de Silva report, published in 2012, found that agents of the state were involved in the 1989 killing and that it should have been prevented.
The new information being investigated by the PSNI was uncovered during Mr da Silva's review.
A senior judge told the Court of Appeal it was his understanding that a PSNI report would be finished "within weeks".
The 30-year-old, who is third in the Test bowling rankings, has joined as a replacement for injured Australia all-rounder John Hastings.
He has taken 292 wickets and scored 2,035 runs in 52 Tests for India.
"Ravi is a fantastic international cricketer who is currently in terrific form with his game," said the county's director of cricket Steve Rhodes.
Ashwin took 17 wickets in three Tests as India completed a whitewash in Sri Lanka on Monday.
He also took 28 wickets in India's 4-0 series win against England at the end of last year.
His first spell in English county cricket will be as part of a Worcestershire team chasing promotion from Division Two of the Championship.
Worcestershire are in the second promotion spot with four games left, but Northamptonshire, Sussex and Kent are all within 17 points and also have a game in hand.
"It is a really important last few games in the Championship and to have someone of his class is a huge boost for the club," Rhodes added.
"The good thing about Ravi is he has been successful on all types of pitches in all sorts of different countries. He is a class bowler who will bowl well here."
It is understood India's chairman of selectors, MSK Prasad, wants to give players experience in English conditions ahead of the five-Test series against England in 2018.
India captain Virat Kohli has previously said he "would love" to play county cricket before next summer's Test series.
Following BP, Centrica and Shell, the words of Bob Keiller reveal yet another senior oil and gas executive who has bad news and job losses to announce concerning the North Sea.
Based in Aberdeen, 1,000 of Wood Group's 11,000 strong UK work force have left the business since December.
Globally, a further 4,000 jobs have gone. That low oil price is biting. Revenues and profits are down markedly.
Wood Group is in the oil and gas services industry - providing the plumbing for the likes of BP and Shell which explore for and refine oil. Wood Group builds and supports the vital engineering and technical infrastructure to do it.
The whole sector is important, worth £27bn to the British economy. Malcolm Webb, the former chief executive of Oil and Gas UK, described it as a "core component of the UK's engineering and manufacturing base" which "enjoys a worldwide reputation for excellence and innovation honed over 40 years at the cutting edge of exploration and production".
And it is for that reason that it is worth listening when Mr Keiller says that - despite the rapid fall in the oil price - the North Sea is still a vital part of the UK's manufacturing future.
"We have a fantastic engineering skills base here in the UK," Mr Keiller said.
"It creates high quality job opportunities that can be exported to many different countries around the world. I have people in Aberdeen designing the most sophisticated sub-sea oil and gas developments for deep water offshore for South America and Africa and elsewhere.
"These high quality jobs can exist way beyond the life of the North Sea."
Engineering skills are a valuable export for the UK and go some way to rebalancing the British economy, seen by many as too reliant on the financial services of the City for comfort.
"[It] often goes unnoticed," Mr Keiller says. "There is a legacy that should not easily be let go. Collectively we need to work together to protect that skills base."
Yes, there are significant headwinds for Britain's oil and gas industry, but the sector still employs 400,000 people.
"The North Sea faced three clear challenges," Mr Keiller says. "Firstly the cost challenge [the sector was operating too expensively], also there was the challenge of the punitive tax regime that was in place; and the regulator wasn't necessarily set up to maximise economic recovery."
There has been movement on all three, with costs and taxes cut and a new regulator in the shape of the Oil and Gas Authority.
I ask Mr Keiller whether the oil price is likely to increase any time soon.
"Anyone who is in the business of predicting the oil price probably gets it wrong so I am not really keen [to make predictions]. At the moment there is no immediate sign of upward pressure.
"We have to assume the conditions are not going to improve."
There could be more job losses - although Mr Keiller is careful to say nothing is planned at present.
But, amid the gloomy predictions, many parts of the North Sea oil and gas sector are thriving.
Qatari Diar, the construction arm of the country, has put it under review.
Planning permission is already in place for 448 houses and flats, a sports centre and retail outlets.
Westminster City Council said it wanted to see the scheme move forward but Chelsea Barracks Action Group said it was relieved by the delay.
The barracks housed the Queen's Guard and was built in 1860. It was sold by the Ministry of Defence to Qatari Diar in 2007 for £959m.
The site has remained undeveloped since the last troops vacated the premises in 2008.
Councillor Jonathan Glanz, cabinet member for housing and property at the council, said: "Looking across the site now, there's a huge opportunity to create housing which is much needed in Westminster.
"We would like to see this moving forward, we would like to see these homes coming out of the ground and we would like to see the benefits that were negotiated by Westminster."
If the scheme goes ahead, Qatari Diar would have to contribute £78m to the council's housing fund.
In a statement, the company said it would "review and respond" to the "economic environment" as it prepared for the next stage of the development.
The statement added: "The revised timetable for appointing architects, developing the detailed designs for and submitting the planning application for phase one is not yet finalised. We look forward to providing further details in due course."
Mr Glanz said the pause was disappointing because 123 affordable homes would have been built on the site. Although the council has other funds to help pay for affordable homes in the area, it would have been "a very useful contribution".
He added that, if the company did pull out altogether, he would be surprised if nobody else took over the site because of the success of the nearby Battersea Power Station redevelopment which recently saw £600m worth of homes sold in a day.
He said: "There is a huge opportunity here to provide homes for people who really need them."
Chelsea Barracks Action Group has always opposed the plans, saying the buildings will "loom over this very classical part of London".
Chair Georgine Thorburn said: "We quite like it without anything on the site.
"For all the local residents, we're going to have to put up with five years of building six days a week, it's going to be very stressful.
"While the site is empty and everything is quiet, quite a lot of people living by the barracks have fabulous views and we like the calm so long may it last."
The development of the site has also attracted criticism from Prince Charles who described a previous 17-storey design as "insane" and an "experiment with the soul of the city".
Architect Lord Rogers criticised the prince, saying he was "wrong" to express his views.
And he thinks the 46-year-old Scot is an ideal position to become Europe's Solheim Cup captain in 2019.
Matthew was this week named as vice-captain for the 2017 event.
"I think she is one of the most under-rated Scottish and probably British sportswomen there are," said Paulding about the 2009 British Open champion.
"It is phenomenal what she's done in her career - over 100 top 10s on the ladies tour in the US.
"She has played in something like eight Solheim Cups - and a number of those teams won against the US.
"If she was a male player, she would have a completely different profile than she does."
Matthew, who will compete for Team GB at the Rio Olympics, is hoping to combine her vice-captaincy with playing in the next Solheim Cup team - but could concentrate on captaincy when the event comes to Gleneagles in 2019.
"Catriona has always said she would be winding down her golf [by then]," Paulding told BBC Scotland.
"She has achieved just about everything she can and her Olympics selection is a one-off fantastic opportunity.
"Her vice-captaincy does set her up nicely to be captain at Gleneagles two years later.
"I would hope and love to see her as captain. It would be a glittering recognition of what has been a fantastic career."
Matthew is competing at the Ladies Scottish Open at Dundonald Links, where action began on Thursday morning.
Paulding is hopeful the veteran will help inspire the next generation of top Scottish female golfers.
"Catriona is on our performance committee and she is trying to give back more and more to Scottish golf," he said.
"There is a bit of generational gap, where we've got some successful late 30s and 40-year-old males and we haven't had the mid-20s coming through.
"It's very different on the ladies' game - we've got a great crop of young female players who have come through.
"But the dynamics are different. A number of the females decide that there isn't enough money to make a career out of it and they actually play as amateur golfers a little bit longer."
Bentley, 22, and Sawyers, 24, have agreed four-year deals with the Bees while Egan, 23, has signed a three-year contract at Griffin Park.
Sawyers joins on a free transfer after leaving Walsall while Southend and Gillingham are entitled to compensation for Bentley and Egan respectively.
The Championship club are in talks with the Shrimpers and the Gills.
The trio become Brentford's first three signings of the summer transfer window.
Bentley came through Southend's youth system and made 160 appearances for the Essex club after making his debut in 2011.
Former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international Egan, who can play at centre-back or right-back, scored 11 times in 92 games during two years at Gillingham after joining from Sunderland.
Saint Kitts and Nevis international Sawyers, who worked with Brentford head coach Dean Smith at Walsall, scored 19 goals in 162 outings during three years with the Saddlers.
Meanwhile, Brentford have appointed former boss Andy Scott as chief scout at Griffin Park.

The 29-year-old left Swansea in November after agreeing a financial settlement with the club for his departure.
He has been training with the club in north-west Spain since returning home.
Michu was Swansea's top scorer in the 2012-13 season with 22 goals in a spectacular first term following a £2m move from Rayo Vallecano.
But prior to his release, the striker had not played for Swansea since April 2014.
The Spain international spent last season on loan at Napoli but injuries meant he only played six times for the Italian side.
He returned to Wales after the Serie A club opted not to buy him but was not part of former Swansea manager Garry Monk's plans.
Michu won a Spain cap in 2013 and was linked to Arsenal and Liverpool after his successful first season in British football.
He apologised to the Commons for a "statistical error" in a new formula which assesses population size and other data to calculate funding.
The issue has caused "a great deal of concern to police forces", he added.
The proposed changes for 2016/17 will now be delayed, Mr Penning said. The Home Office did not say for how long.
Mr Penning said the government "regrets" the mistake and apologised to MPs and to all 43 police forces in England and Wales.
Answering an urgent question in the Commons, he said: "We recognise this has caused a great deal of concern to police forces around the country.
"I and the government regret this mistake and I apologise to the House."
The amount of money each police force in England and Wales receives from the government is based on a funding formula, which assesses population size, social and economic factors, crime rates and other data.
The government had launched a consultation on plans to change the formula, prompting six police and crime commissioners (PCCs) to threaten the Home Office with legal action.
They argued the proposals were "unjustified and deeply flawed".
Last week the Home Office revealed that the new formula was based on flawed calculations.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Penning said the government would now seek the views of PCCs and the National Police Chiefs Council before proceeding with the changes.
Mitsubishi Motors' shares have lost some 50% of their value since the scandal. On Tuesday shares rose 1.9%.
Japan's Nikkei 225 closed 2.2% higher at 16,565.19 points.
Takata shares shed 7.4% on reports of an additional seven million recalls of its faulty airbags.
On Monday, Takata had also said it was expecting a loss instead of a profit for the fiscal year until March due to the soaring costs of their global airbag recall.
In China, markets were reacting to fresh inflation data showing April's price increases steady from the previous year.
The consumer price index (CPI) was up by 2.3% on the same month the previous year.
The Shanghai Composite index was flat at 2,832.59 points at the close of Tuesday's session. Meanwhile Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed higher by 0.4% at 20,242.68.
Australia's ASX/200 finished trading 0.4% higher at 5,342.80, despite the country's commodity giants suffering from lower iron ore prices.
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto both lost around 3%.
In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi index closed 0.8% up at 1,982.50 points.
Evan Mawarire told the BBC people should stay at home as part of a campaign against corruption, economic mismanagement and unemployment.
He said the campaign was serious about wanting change.
Mr Mawarire was freed on Wednesday when a court in Harare dismissed a legal case against him.
His lawyers successfully argued that the charge of subversion had been added at the last minute, denying him a fair trial.
The pastor has been at the heart of a social media campaign denouncing the government's management of the economy.
He said the #ThisFlag movement's goal was to "get as many citizens as possible involved in nation-building".
The crowds that gathered for the court appearance of Pastor Evan Mawarire show the power of social media in Zimbabwe. Those who were able packed into the courtroom and reacted in shock and then derision when prosecutors added a new charge of subversion, meaning the state believed the preacher was attempting to overthrow President Robert Mugabe.
But the ambush tactics did not work as the defence team was able to argue that the last-minute charge denied the pastor a fair trial. It was still a brave decision by a magistrate given the prevailing difficult political circumstances.
Many of those who showed up in solidarity were draped in the national flag: It is no longer just a symbol of national pride, but a statement that the country should not be monopolised by a political elite. Social media activists have taken the fight for political reforms to new levels and the authorities are having difficulty controlling and monitoring them.
It is a pastor with no known political credentials who has managed to galvanise the nation, calling for an end to corruption. The stay away call may be muted - with civil servants not wanting to give the authorities an excuse not to pay them - but the unprecedented scenes outside court mark a change of tone in Zimbabwean activism.
The pastor's latest call for people to stay away from work in protest at the economic crisis went largely unheeded, with most businesses opening as normal on Wednesday.
Mr Mawarire admitted the protest was not as successful as last week's - when the country's cities were deserted - but said the strike should continue on Thursday.
He said: "Let's all shut down and send a message to our government that enough is enough, we need changes in very simple things, in very simple areas.
"And our protest - non-violent, non-inciting, stay-at-home - is the best because it is within the confines of the law.
"Every Zimbabwean who does not participate is robbing us of a great opportunity to add to the momentum of where our country is going."
It uses the strange "quantum states" of matter to perform calculations in a way that, if scaled up, could vastly outperform conventional computers.
The 6mm-by-6mm chip holds nine quantum devices, among them four "quantum bits" that do the calculations.
The team said further scaling up to 10 qubits should be possible this year.
Rather than the ones and zeroes of digital computing, quantum computers deal in what are known as superpositions - states of matter that can be thought of as both one and zero at once.
In a sense, quantum computing's one trick is to perform calculations on all superposition states at once. With one quantum bit, or qubit, the difference is not great, but the effect scales rapidly as the number of qubits rises.
The figure often touted as the number of qubits that would bring quantum computing into a competitive regime is about 100, so each jump in the race is a significant one.
"It's pretty exciting we're now at a point that we can start talking about what the architecture is we're going to use if we make a quantum processor," Erik Lucero of the University of California, Santa Barbara told the conference.
The team's key innovation was to find a way to completely disconnect - or "decouple" - interactions between the elements of their quantum circuit.
The delicate quantum states the team creates in their qubits - in this case paired superconductors known as Josephson junctions - must be manipulated, moved, and stored without destroying them.
"It's a problem I've been thinking about for three or four years now, how to turn off the interactions," UCSB's John Martinis, who led the research," told BBC News.
"Now we've solved it, and that's great - but there's many other things we have to do."
The solution came in the form of what the team has termed the RezQu architecture. It is basically a blueprint for a quantum computer, and several presentations at the conference focused on how to make use of it.
"For me this is kind of nice, I know how I'm going to put them together," said Professor Martinis.
"I now know how to design it globally and I can go back and try to optimise all the parts."
RezQu seems to have an edge in one crucial arena - scalability - that makes it a good candidate for the far more complex circuits that would constitute a quantum computer proper.
"There are competing architectures, like ion traps - trapping ions with lasers, but the complexity there is that you have to have a huge room full of PhDs just to run your lasers," Mr Lucero told BBC News.
"There's already promise to show how this architecture could scale, and we've created custom electronics based on cellphone technology which has driven the cost down a lot.
"We're right at the bleeding edge of actually having a quantum processor," he said. "It's been years that a whole community has blossomed just looking at the idea of, once we have a quantum computer, what are we going to do with it?"
Britton Plourde, a quantum computing researcher from the University of Syracuse, said that the field has progressed markedly in recent years.
The metric of interest to quantum computing is how long the delicate quantum states can be preserved, and Dr Plourde noted that time had increased a thousand fold since the field's inception.
"The world of superconducting quantum bits didn't even exist 10 years ago, and now they can control [these states] to almost arbitrary precision," he told BBC News.
"We're still a long way from a large-scale quantum computer but it's really in my eyes rapid progress."
Gerald Patrick Lavey, from Ballymagowan Avenue, admitted six charges of being concerned in offering to supply cannabis, amphetamines, diazepam and buprenorphine.
The offences were committed between 8 February and 5 March 2014.
He is to stand trial on those charges on 22 June and was released on continuing bail until then.
Lavey pleaded not guilty to two charges of being concerned in offering to supply the class a drug oxycodone also in February and March of 2014.
MPs heard claims the project to build eight Type 26 frigates on the Clyde had been delayed due to the Ministry of Defence's attempts to save money.
Manufacturing of the Type 26s was initially expected to start in 2016,
Confirmation of when the work will begin has still to be announced.
Speaking in the Commons, SNP MP Douglas Chapman asked Mr Fallon: "The Type 26 frigates are well behind schedule. It's been said the Navy had 'run out of money' to progress these contracts.
"Given the perilous state of the economy as of last Friday morning, can you give us assurances that we can please, please, please run out of money for Trident as well?"
Mr Fallon replied: "Let me just say to you that the schedule for Type 26 has not yet been set.
"These are ships likely to cost between half a billion and £1bn each, and I am not going to sign a contract for these ships until I am satisfied that they represent good value for our navy and good value for the taxpayer."
SNP MP Chris Stephens asked Defence Minister Philip Dunne: "Can you confirm press reports today of leaked correspondence showing that the MOD is looking for savings of £500m in the Type 26 programme, refusing an offer from BAE systems of savings of £270m and starting that programme on time?"
Mr Dunne replied: "As I've already said in answer to other questions on the Type 26 programme, we will enter into a contract once we have established best value for the taxpayer and a delivery schedule that can be met by the contractor."
At Titanic Slipways in Belfast a 'monster mash' took place.
The theme was 'carnival rock' and it ended with the largest fireworks display in the city.
Meanwhile, in Londonderry, a large crowd attended the annual street carnival and fireworks display.
The male victim was found with serious head injuries at a property in Hungerford Road, Brislington, shortly before 20:00 BST.
Avon and Somerset Police said the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The 38-year-old suspect remains in police custody. Hungerford Road is expected to remain closed until Monday evening while investigations continue.
Suhana Sayeed, 22, from the southern state of Karnataka, is a contestant on the Sa Re Ga Ma Pa programme.
A Facebook page called Mangalore Muslims objected to her singing a Hindu devotional song while wearing a hijab.
It accuses her of "tarnishing" Muslims by "singing before men" and says she should give up the headscarf as she does not "respect" it.
Mangalore Muslims was created in 2012. A recent post claims the page is a "medium and voice" for Muslims.
The page has over 46,000 likes, but received at least 2,000 new followers after local news outlets and a few national channels reported the targeting of Sayeed.
The original post has since been deleted, but users have posted screenshots.
Mangalore Muslims took down the first post but in a subsequent one, they said the comments were not a "personal" attack on Sayeed.
However, they also accused her of betraying the Muslim community and trying to gain sympathy from judges by singing a Hindu devotional song.
They also posted letters addressed to Sayeed, saying her performance on the TV show was "not Islamic". One letter sarcastically congratulated her on finding fame by embracing a "vulgar" medium.
There are also more than 700 comments on various posts of Mangalore Muslims, many of which support Sayeed.
"This page just divides people!" said one user. "Shame! There are so many Muslim singers singing Hindu devotional songs. Nobody bats an eye when Hindus sing quawali [form of Sufi devotional music]."
Another said no one had the right to interfere in someone's life. "We have no rights to judge other's mistake. Only Allah can…" the user added.
Another user said Pakistani Muslims were more tolerant than Mangalore Muslims, pointing out that many Muslims sang for the popular Pakistani music programme Coke Studio.

Tor Messenger allows users to chat over the Tor (The Onion Router) network in a way which hides the location of participants.
It means that the contents of messages will only be visible to the participants.
The service will also work with platforms like Facebook even in countries where they are banned.
The tool is currently in beta and will undergo security tests.
Users wishing to remain anonymous or access chat clients blocked in their own country could use Tor Messenger to chat via services like Facebook Chat, Google Talk, Twitter, Yahoo and Internet Relay Chat.
The program does not communicate via what's often called the "dark web", a collection of hidden websites and services, but rather by sending messages across a series of internet relays (or routers) so that their origin cannot be tracked.
These relays are called "bridges".
"They're computers run by volunteers and in a censored area your computer will connect to these," explained Steven Murdoch, a security researcher at University College London who has worked on Tor projects.
"Those services are not publicly listed anywhere - they should not be blocked even if access to the Tor network is blocked."
In addition, messages may be encrypted to provide additional security. This feature is enabled by default, though both parties in a one-to-one chat would have to have off-the-record encryption (OTR) set up.
This requires the two parties to exchange a secret key which is needed to decode the messages they send to each other.
"At the end of the day some people really do need privacy and security so this would be important to them," commented Jim Killock, executive director of the Open Rights Group.
He also told the BBC that he imagined the tool, once audited, could be used by whistleblowers, individuals wanting to complain about corruption or sources desiring to speak to journalists anonymously about a story.
"I think it shows the worries people have that chats and other clients are being snooped on," he added.
Dr Murdoch also made the point that while the service was still being tested, it shouldn't be used by those who have serious security concerns.
"It's good for people to experiment with but not if you've got serious security requirements yet," he told the BBC.
The glitch, at an air traffic centre in Leesburg, Virginia, caused delays of nearly three hours in some cases.
A spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration said later that it had resolved the issue.
Planes would be able to take off normally by about 16:00 EDT (20:00 GMT), the FAA said.
The affected airports are among the busiest in the US, especially in the summer holiday months.
Among those hit by the glitch were Washington's Dulles International Airport and Reagan National Airport, as well as New York's LaGuardia and John F Kennedy International Airport.
The FAA said the problem is not believed to be caused by any accident or hacking.
According to the agency, the fault was with a computer system known as ERAM which is used at 20 air traffic control centres around the country that handle high-altitude air traffic.
The system was installed earlier this year but was already years behind schedule.
"The FAA is continuing its root cause analysis to determine what caused the problem and is working closely with the airlines to minimize impacts to travellers," the agency said in a statement.
Flight tracking service FlightAware reported that about 400 flights had been delayed or cancelled across affected airports.
The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (DVDS) allows people to find out if a partner has a history of violence.
Jean Quigley was murdered at her home in Cornshell Fields in Londonderry in 2008 by her partner Stephen Cahoon.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) will debate the issue at its conference in the city later.
Clare's Law was introduced across England and Wales in March 2014.
Victims or their friends and relatives can request the information so they know if there are grounds for concern.
The initiative is named after Clare Wood, who was murdered by her violent ex-boyfriend several years ago.
Emma McBride said her daughter did not know Cahoon had a history of violence against women.
He was described by the PSNI as "a dangerous sexual predator with a history of violence towards women".
"People would have been aware of who he is and what he was. People could have warned their children, warned their daughters," Mrs McBride said.
"I remember asking at the time 'Why was he not on an offenders list?'
"If we only had have known what he was like, if he had been on some kind of list, maybe my daughter would still be here today," she said.
Emma McBride is convinced the law would have saved her daughters life.
"Jean loved her children and they came first, if she had known what he was like, there's no way she would have put them in any danger.
"The way I found Jean, I wouldn't like a mother to find what I found," Emma said.
"It's a terrible situation and a terrible stress, I miss her a lot."
Clare Moore, Equality Officer with the ICTU, described the implementation of Clare's Law in Northern Ireland as an important legislative move.
"This issue will be debated at the biennial policy setting conference of ICTU on Wednesday when delegates representing thousands of members will call for women in Northern Ireland to be afforded the same protection as granted to women in other parts of the UK," she said.
William Shields, who is 52 and from South Lanarkshire, was accused of shouting and swearing at wife Michelle at Green's Hotel in Gretna on Hogmanay.
Prosecutors accepted his plea, which came part way through a trial at Dumfries Sheriff Court.
Mr Shields has also been cleared of two other charges of assaulting his wife.
He had denied charges alleging that he dragged Michelle Shields off a stool in the lounge area of the hotel, pushed her on the back and caused her to stumble on the night of their wedding.
He was also cleared of pushing her onto a bed and striking her on the head as well as covering her mouth and nose with his hand.
The trial had been due to continue on the charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner towards Mrs Shields, but fiscal depute Jennifer McGill told the court: "I am accepting a plea of not guilty to that remaining charge."
The Strathclyde inspector was not present when the acquittal was announced.
Cafodd Ashley Talbot ei daro gan fws mini wrth iddo adael Ysgol Uwchradd Maesteg yn Rhagfyr 2014.
Clywodd y cwest fod damwain o'r fath yn un oedd bron yn anochel.
Dywedodd y crwner y byddai'n ysgrifennu adroddiad yn sgil y dystiolaeth er mwyn "codi ymwybyddiaeth o'r pryderon sydd gennyf."
"Mae'n rhaid i mi leihau'r risg i ysgolion eraill yn yr ardal hon a thu hwnt," meddai.
Dywedodd y byddai'n anfon copïau o'r addroddiad at Lywodraeth Cymru a Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru.
Ar ôl yr achos fe wnaeth teulu Ashley gyhoeddi datganiad yn dweud yn yr 21ain ganrif na ddylai "unrhyw blentyn farw mewn damwain ffordd ar dir yr ysgol".
"Mewn ysgolion, yn fwy nag mewn unrhyw le arall, fe ddylai diogelwch plant fod yn flaenllaw yn ein meddyliau."
Pryderon diogelwch
Cafodd yr ysgol ei hadeiladu yn 2008 drwy ddefnyddio arian o gynllun - PFI - arian sydd wedi ei fenthyg i'r sector cyhoeddus.
Aeth y datganiad ymlaen i ddweud: "Mae'n glir o'r dystiolaeth nad oedd staff yr ysgol yn hapus gyda'r cynlluniau, a'u bod wedi methu â sicrhau amgylchedd ddiogel oherwydd y cyfyngiadau o ran cynllunio gafodd eu gosod.
"Mae'r teulu yn hapus i nodi fod ymchwiliad y Gweithgor Iechyd a Diogelwch yn parhau, ac edrychwn ymlaen at weld y canlyniadau'n cael eu cyhoeddi."
Ddydd Mercher fe glywodd y cwest dystiolaeth gan yrrwr y bws, a'i fod wedi codi pryderon am ddiogelwch plant.
Dywedodd gyrrwr cerbyd arall, Hedley Williams, bod y sefyllfa yn sicr o achosi damwain rhyw bryd.
Clywodd y cwest bod safle bysiau'r ysgol bellach wedi ei ymestyn, ac nad oedd cerbydau yn cael symud pan oedd plant yn dod allan o'r ysgol ar ddiwedd y dydd.
Mewn datganiad dywedodd teulu Ashley Talbot: "Roedd Ashley'n llawn hwyl a brwdfrydedd gyda natur sensitif ac agwedd gadarnhaol.
"Doedd dim yn well ganddo na gwneud i bobl wenu ac fe fydd pawb oedd yn ei adnabod a'i garu'n ei golli am byth.
"Fe wnaeth y golled lwyr a'r distryw yn dilyn y ddamwain adael y teulu wedi torri ac ni fyddant fyth yn dygyymod gyda marwolaeth eu hunig fab mewn amgylchiadau mor drasig."
Dywedodd y datganiad fod y teulu wedi bod yn ymgyrchu am newid y gyfraith a gwella diogelwch ffyrdd ger ysgolion.
Yn dilyn cofnodi'r rheithfarn, fe wnaeth Cyngor Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr gyhoeddi datganiad yn cydymdeimlo gyda theulu a ffrindiau Ashley Talbot, gan ddweud fod asesiad diogelwch wedi ei wneud ar safleoedd holl ysgolion yr awdurdod wedi ei farwolaeth.
Ychwanegodd y datganiad fod cyngor wedi ei roi i bob ysgol, a bod gwelliannau hefyd wedi eu gwneud ar safleoedd gan cynnwys gwella arwyddion diogelwch a phaentio llinellau diogelwch zig-zag.
Dywedodd y cyngor fod nifer o welliannau wedi eu cyflwyno ar safle Ysgol Uwchradd Maesteg hefyd, yn cynnwys gwella'r ardal i fysiau o fewn y safle, creu ardal gollwng plant tu allan i safle'r ysgol, gwahardd traffig rhag cael mynediad neu adael yr ysgol rhwng 14:55 a 15:15 nes bydd pob bws wedi gadael.
The US Secret Service said a "quad copter" - a small machine powered by four rotor blades - had been found. An investigation has been launched.
President Barack Obama and the First Lady are currently on a visit to India.
The US Secret Service, which is tasked with the president's security, has been criticised for recent lapses, leading to a leadership reorganisation.
In September a man armed with a knife scaled the White House perimeter fence and gained access to the building.
Days earlier an armed private security guard had been allowed to ride in the same lift as the president.
Although Mr and Mrs Obama were in New Delhi when the device was found, their children are believed to be in Washington DC, according to the New York Times.
At a press briefing in India, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said: "I don't have any reason to think at this point that the first family is in any danger."
US media reports initially described the device as a small drone, but the Secret Service later said it was a two-foot-wide quad copter.
The device flew into the White House grounds at about 03:08 local time (08:08 GMT) and crashed into the south-eastern side of the complex, it said.

Britain trailed by 10 points early in the fourth quarter but came back to win in a thrilling finish.
Johannah Leedham led GB's scoring with 28 points, while Ella Clark added 15 and Azania Stewart 12.
Great Britain's next match in November is away to group leaders Italy, where they will need another win.
They currently lie third in Group C, behind the unbeaten Italians and Montenegro, with only the nine group winners and six best second-placed teams making it through to the finals in the Czech Republic.
Clark, who hit three three-pointers in her 15 points and took a game-high 12 rebounds, told BBC Sport: "It's a bit of a blur now when you think about it but it was definitely a team effort.
"We were in that rut where we don't do what we do well and we were missing open shots, but even then we were like 'we can still do this - it's only 10 points.'
"It's a big mental thing to know that we still have the chance to qualify."
Montenegro led 35-33 at half-time on Wednesday before increasing their advantage to 58-48 with eight minutes remaining.
But Leedham, Clark and Rachael Vanderwal inspired Britain's late 21-4 surge to ensure they stay in with a chance of qualifying ahead of November's final two matches.
The 28-year-old was taken off on a stretcher during Wales' win over South Africa in November.
Lydiate subsequently missed the rest of the 2016-17 campaign.
"Dan is continuing his rehab from knee and shoulder surgery having been out of action since November," Ospreys medical performance manager Chris Towers said.
"The objective now is to make every effort to have him available for selection at the start of the season."
Dafydd Howells will miss start of next season as the Wales wing recovers from injury.
"Daf failed to recover from a shoulder injury picked up in training at the end of the season, which meant he has gone on to have surgery," Towers added,
"As a result we expect him to miss the start of the season."
But there is better news on wing Jeff Hassler, who will miss part of pre-season after keyhole surgery on a knee problem but is expected to return for the start of the new season.
Hooker Sam Parry (neck) has returned to limited training, while senior players Dmitri Arhip, Ma'afu Fia, Ben John and Rob McCusker have all rejoined the squad after injury.
Hanno Dirksen (knee), James King (ankle), Brian Mujati (shoulder) and Eli Walker (back) have yet to return to training because of their injuries.
The 57-year-old man was dragged into inadequately guarded machinery in the paint shop at the Lode Lane, Solihull, site in June 2013, it said.
He punctured both lungs, broke 10 ribs and was in an induced coma in intensive care for 12 days, HSE said.
It added JLR was fined for safety breaches after pleading guilty.
The maintenance electrician, from Northfield, Birmingham, also broke his breastbone, two bones in his spine and two in his right hand and had blood clots on his heart and kidneys, HSE said.
Speaking after the hearing, it said the incident was "entirely preventable".
Jaguar Land Rover Ltd, of Abbey Road, Whitley, Coventry, was fined £40,000 with £13,474 costs after pleading guilty to breaching Regulation 11(1) of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations, HSE said.
In a statement, a JLR spokesman said: "The safety and wellbeing of our workforce is an integral strategic imperative across our entire business.
"We continue to work tirelessly to ensure the protection of our employees remains our highest priority."
Francis Benali, who made more than 300 appearances for Southampton FC, ran a marathon and cycled 75 miles (120km) each day for a fortnight.
Southampton City Council is to vote on a motion giving him honorary freedom of the city.
The 47-year-old said he was "shocked and surprised" by the honour.
The 1,000-mile (1,600 km) route linking 44 football clubs took him into south Wales, the Midlands and the North-West, before crossing the country and returning via East Anglia and London.
He raised more than £390,000 for Cancer Research.
Mr Benali received a standing ovation from fans when he arrived at St Mary's Stadium at half time during a home match against Burnley on 16 October.
It followed a 2015 challenge which saw him running between Premier League stadiums.
A motion before a Southampton City Council meeting on 16 November proposes bestowing the honorary freedom of the city on Francis Benali "in recognition of his fundraising achievements for charitable causes".
Mr Benali said: "I'm very humbled and honoured to be recognised. It was completely unexpected and I'm very grateful."
Other individuals to have been given the honour include former Saints managers Ted Bates and Lawrie McMenemy, former player Matthew Le Tissier, and World War One prime minister David Lloyd George.
But the PM cautioned that the process will "take time" and there will be "ups and downs" in the months ahead.
He has been holding bilateral talks with Irish PM Edna Kenny and European President Martin Schulz as he continues to press for changes in the EU.
Mr Kenny vowed to work constructively with the PM on his bid, while Mr Schulz said compromise would be needed.
Meanwhile, German chancellor Angela Merkel has said the UK must consider what role it wants to play in the European Union.
She said she wanted the UK to remain an active member of the bloc.
The UK's position will be collectively discussed by European leaders for the first time at the European Council summit starting on 25 June.
Mr Cameron has said he wants to speak to all his 27 EU counterparts and other key players to explain his renegotiation aims ahead of the meeting.
Senior Tory MPs will also outline their demands for EU changes on Thursday.
Mr Cameron held bilateral talks with the Irish Taoiseach on Thursday afternoon over a working lunch of baked ricotta and grilled asparagus, sea bass and vegetables, followed by lemon panna cotta with strawberries.
At a joint press conference after, the PM said: "The UK and Ireland share a strong desire to make the EU more competitive, to prioritise free trade agreements with growing markets across the world. We need the EU to be driver for growth, not a lag on growth.
"We found a lot of common ground today and I'm pleased that the Taoiseach is willing to work with us to find solutions to these issues."
Addressing reporters, Mr Kenny said he and David Cameron shared "very similar views on a range of issues."
It was in both Ireland and Europe's interest that the UK remained a key player in the EU, he said, adding that he wanted to see the country vote 'Yes' to staying in.
"In that we will be as supportive and as constructive as we can. It doesn't mean we will follow you blindly on every issue.
"But insofar as the process is concerned I want to see that leading to a decision by the British people to stay in European Union because that is where the future for everybody lies," Mr Kenny said.
Earlier in the day, Mr Cameron held a working breakfast with European President Martin Schulz at Downing Street, as part of his push for changes to the EU.
Speaking after the event, Mr Schulz said there were "different views" among EU countries about the UK's proposals but that there were also areas of "common ground".
The German politician, who previously led the socialist bloc of MPs in the European Parliament, said: "Dialogue is necessary. Solutions are always coming via dialogue and at the end via compromise."
"There is a long list of common interests and I think common ground could be found by analysing and discussing content. That is what we did.
"There were some controversial items and it is not surprising that in the European Parliament some views are different than here in London," he added.
Mr Schulz said they had discussed how they could stop "abuse" of welfare systems while ensuring the fundamental rights of citizens under the EU treaties were guaranteed.
Mr Cameron said: "We have got a long way to go in this reform and renegotiation, a lot of difficult issues to discuss, things that I believe fundamentally need to change, but it has been good to start these discussions today."
The prime minister has said he hopes to secure a "better deal" for the UK in Europe before putting it to a public vote in an in/out referendum in 2017.
Speaking in the German Parliament, Ms Merkel it was "not the first time that a country has raised doubts about its role in the EU".
"In 1992 it was Denmark, in 2008 Ireland. I'm sure we can succeed this time too," she said.
The German chancellor is to ask European Council President Donald Tusk at the EU summit next week to take charge of negotiations with the UK.
But she warned: "There can be no contradiction of the EU founding principles. Free movement is not up for discussion."
Ahead of the meeting, Mr Schulz said he wanted to hear some "concrete proposals" from Mr Cameron in areas such as welfare, immigration and the powers of national Parliaments.
"Many on the continent underestimate the importance of the UK and many in the UK underestimate the importance of the continent. We need to bring these groups together," he told the BBC.
He also told the Guardian that Mr Cameron's hopes of scrapping "ever closer union" in the EU would require treaty change and that would not happen.
Mr Cameron has embarked on a flurry of diplomatic activity to set out his broad aims and sound out the opinions of other leaders.
He has spoken face-to-face with the leaders of Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain and Romania among others. After meeting Mr Kenny and Mr Schulz, he will travel to Slovenia.
Speaking after talks with Italian PM Matteo Renzi on Wednesday, Mr Cameron said the pair discussed the "importance of reform and change in Europe" and had "common perspectives and some common ideas on the need for competitiveness and flexibility".
Mr Renzi stressed the importance of the UK remaining in the EU. "The European Union for us without the UK is impossible so we will discuss in the next weeks and the next months about this point," he said.
But ahead of Mr Kenny's visit, current and former Irish ministers have expressed their concerns about the possibility of the UK exiting the EU, ex-prime minister Bertie Ahern telling the BBC such a move would be "senseless".
David Cameron is starting renegotiation of the terms of Britain's EU membership ahead of a referendum. Here is some further reading on what it all means:
Q&A: The UK's planned EU referendum
UK and the EU: Better off out or in?
What Britain wants from Europe
Timeline: EU referendum debate
Bulgaria's foreign minister Daniel Mitov said the UK needed to set out its objectives in "black and white", adding that if the principle of freedom of movement across Europe was preserved, other things could be discussed.
Mr Cameron has insisted the renegotiation process will be conducted at the very highest level and in private, urging people to ignore the inevitable "noise" surrounding the issue and to focus on the outcome.
Leading Conservative Eurosceptics, including Sir Bill Cash, Bernard Jenkin and John Redwood, will set out their minimum expectations for a reformed relationship in a pamphlet on Thursday.
It comes as MPs continue debating the EU Referendum Bill, which must be approved by Parliament before a vote can take place.
It is understood this is to prevent a recurrence of the paramilitary display that occurred at his brother Alan's funeral more than three years ago.

Men wearing white shirts and black ties escorted the 25 year olds coffin to his family home in Donaghmede on Monday evening.

Horizon Nuclear Power has launched a third formal consultation on its Wylfa Newydd plans, including 17 public meetings and drop-ins.
The main power station would take up a smaller area, with more buildings shared between the twin reactors.
Horizon hopes to submit a planning application, known as a development consent order, later this year.
It also confirmed an accommodation campus for temporary staff would be located at the construction site near Cemaes.
Developers had been in long-running discussions with Land and Lakes, the firm behind a £120m holiday village proposal, over accommodating temporary staff at their Cae Glas and Kingsland locations.
Instead, it has proposed a single "carefully managed" campus for construction workers on site, with about 2,500 beds and the capacity for 4,000.
It will include leisure, shopping and health facilities to ease the burden on public services.
But Gareth Winston Roberts, chairman of Amlwch Town Council, questioned what benefit it would bring to the local economy.
"There must be benefit for the people of north Anglesey as well as the company," he said.
Other changes include:
Duncan Hawthorne, chief executive of Horizon Nuclear Power, said: "The changes we're proposing will enable us to streamline our construction schedule, reduce the number of construction workers we need to bring in and temporarily house, and cut the number of development sites we need."
When operational, Wylfa Newydd is expected to create 850 permanent jobs and Horizon hopes to start generating power by 2025.
It is estimated this could be worth more than £20m a year in wages alone to the local economy throughout the 60-year life of the station.
The company will share its updated plans at public exhibitions across the region, starting on 27 May at Llangefni Town Hall.
This is the third and final consultation before the development consent order is submitted to the UK Planning Inspectorate and runs until 22 June.
The station will have a capacity of at least 2,700 megawatts of electricity, enough power for about five million homes.
However a final go-ahead will require a successful outcome to discussions with the next UK government over an agreed price for the electricity generated from the scheme - known as a strike price.
A report by the Welsh Affairs committee said last year the government should only commit to Wylfa Newydd if the strike price is below that agreed for the Hinkley Point C in Somerset, £92.50 per megawatt hour.
The old Wylfa plant stopped generating electricity after 50 years at the end of 2015.
WHAT PARTY MANIFESTOS SAY ABOUT NUCLEAR POWER
CONSERVATIVES: We will form our energy policy based not on the way energy is generated but on the ends we desire - reliable and affordable energy, seizing the industrial opportunity that new technology presents and meeting our global commitments on climate change.
LABOUR: Nuclear will continue to be part of the energy supply. The Labour Party will support further nuclear projects and protect nuclear workers' jobs and pensions. There are considerable opportunities for nuclear power and decommissioning both internationally and domestically.
LIB DEMS: New nuclear power stations can play a role in electricity supply provided concerns about safety, disposal of waste and cost are adequately addressed, new technology is incorporated and there is no public subsidy for new build.
PLAID CYMRU: The party said it was anxious to ensure there was a long-term legacy from Wylfa Newydd and the other energy projects proposed for the island: "These are really exciting opportunities."
UKIP: The party supports the development of nuclear power in the United Kingdom subject to the correct conditions.

Scott McDonald gave United the lead at Tannadice when he tapped home Paul McMullan's cross from close range.
Queen of the South were level when Callum Fordyce slotted past Harry Lewis.
McMullan was sent off before half-time for raising his hands at Shaun Rooney, but Fraser won it for United.
The visitors began the game smartly and when Callum Tapping slipped in Stephen Dobbie after just three minutes they looked sure to take the lead, but the striker delayed his effort and the chance was gone.
United slowly eased their way into the game and took the lead when McMullan utilised his pace to great effect and evaded the challenge from the Queens defenders.
The winger's cross in from the left was inch perfect for McDonald to open his account for his new side.
The lead though lasted only seven minutes. The home defence failed to clear a free-kick played into the box and Fordyce pounced to fire home the equaliser from 12 yards out.
United winger McMullan was proving to be a real handful but a clash with Queens defender Rooney led to him being shown a red card by referee Nick Walsh.
McMullan lashed out with his arm after having his shirt tugged by Rooney. The Queens defender was shown a yellow card for his part in the incident.
Despite being down to 10 men it was the home side who managed to breakthrough for what proved to be the winner.
Billy King controlled the ball well on the edge of the box and played in substitute Fraser who fired the ball low beyond Alan Martin in the Queens goal.
Gary Naismiths side pushed hard for an equaliser and if Chris Kane, making his debut after his loan move from St Johnstone, had showed more composure when played through on goal by the impressive SDobbie the Doonhamers may have left Tannadice with a point in the bag.
Dundee United manager Ray McKinnon: It was difficult because we're down to 10 men for 60 minutes of the game, and on the back of three really big games - Dundee, Inverness, Dundee. The players, some still need a wee bit of fitness, I think the guys were magnificent today.
"I've not seen it (the red card). I've spoken to the player who says he's not punched him. The guy has rugby tackled him, and he says he's swung his arms around to get him off him. But the referee should have stopped it before anything happened, he should have dealt with that a lot better."

Francois Zoko headed in a late consolation from Simon Gillett's cross.

Team GB's women's hockey team have also been named best female team at the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) awards in Doha.
Britain finished second in the medal table, ahead of China for the first time, winning 27 golds, 23 silvers and 17 bronzes - and became the first team to win more medals after hosting the Games.
"That feat created history as we became the first nation ever to win more medals at a Games immediately after hosting, surpassing our achievement of 65 medals at London 2012," said British Olympic Association (BOA) chairman Lord Coe, who collected the award.
BOA chief executive Bill Sweeney said: "It's a fantastic achievement for both the women's hockey team and the whole of the British Olympic Association. We've had an incredible year."
There were also awards for some of those behind some of the most memorable and inspirational moments at the Rio Games:
Monica Puig - women's singles tennis
Unseeded Puig had to beat top players such as Garbine Muguruza and Petra Kvitova before defeating world number two Angelique Kerber to win Puerto Rico's first Olympic gold medal - and the country's only female medallist ever.
The 23-year-old also became Latin America's first champion of the women's singles tournament.
Wayde van Niekerk - 400m gold
The South African broke Michael Johnson's 400m world record, which had stood for 17 years, in a time of 43.03 seconds and is the only man ever to have won from the outside lane eight.
"Usain Bolt will be retiring soon, this could be the next star," American Johnson told BBC Sport after seeing his record smashed by the 24-year-old.
Great Britain women's hockey
Team GB won a first Olympic hockey gold medal by beating defending champions the Netherlands in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch - who saved all four penalties - was trending on Twitter and the match was watched by nine million people on BBC One.
Fiji rugby sevens team
English coach Ben Ryan led Fiji's rugby sevens side to gold with a 43-7 win over Great Britain in the final - the country's first Olympic medal.
Extraordinary scenes of celebration erupted in Fiji after the final whistle - banks closed, shops shut and revellers took over the streets of Suva dancing, singing and cheering. Ryan was gifted land and a "chiefly name".
Rafaela Silva - women's -57kg judo
Growing up in the infamous "City of God" in Rio, Silva took up judo at the age of seven as her parents were concerned about violence within the favela.
She became the first Brazilian judoka to become world and Olympic champion.
Refugee Olympic team
A team of 10 refugee athletes competed under the Olympic flag in Rio. They were selected on sporting ability - but also on personal circumstances and United Nations-verified refugee status.
The 10 competed across three sports: swimming, athletics and judo, in which Popole Misenga was the most successful team member, advancing to the round of 16 in the men's -90kg division.
They "sent a message of hope" to other displaced people across the world, according to International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach.
Carlos Arthur Nuzman
As the president of the Brazilian Olympic Committee and head of the Rio Olympic Organising Committee, Nuzman was largely responsible for putting on the Games.
He was part of Brazil's first male volleyball team at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.
Authorities found a nitrogen tank containing the vials in the man's bag when he was crossing the border at the northern Thai town of Nong Khai.
Police said the man confessed that the semen was bound for a fertility clinic in the capital of Laos - Vientiane.
Laos has seen a boom in commercial surrogacy after neighbouring Thailand and Cambodia banned the practice.
The semen was collected from Chinese and Vietnamese men, police said.
The smuggler, a Thai national, told police he had done 12 similar trips in the past year where he would collect semen from Bangkok clinics and transport them to the clinic in Laos, reported The Bangkok Post newspaper.
He said he had also done several deliveries to a hospital in Cambodia, the paper reported.
In 2015, Thailand banned foreigners from paying Thai women to act as surrogates following a string of scandals in the once thriving industry. Cambodia followed with a total ban last year.
This has coincided with a rise in the number of Laos-linked surrogacy agencies and fertility clinics, reported AFP news agency.
The actor was best known for appearing in Last of the Summer Wine and was also famous as the voice of Wallace in Wallace and Gromit.
His agent confirmed he died peacefully with his family by his side.
Sallis played Norman "Cleggy" Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine from its first episode in 1973 until the series concluded in 2010.
He was the only actor to appear in all 295 episodes of the sitcom.
Peter Sallis was best known as the mild-mannered Norman Clegg in Last of the Summer Wine.
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 Wallace and Gromit films.

Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park led tributes to Sallis, describing him as a "unique character".
"I'm so sad, but feel so grateful and privileged to have known and worked with Peter over so many years. He was always my first and only choice for Wallace," Park said in a statement.
Listen: Peter Sallis on Desert Island Discs
"Working with him was always a delight and I will miss his wry, unpredictable humour and silliness - that started the moment he greeted you at the door, and didn't stop when the mic was switched off."
Park added: "Peter had naturally funny bones and was a great storyteller and raconteur off stage too and would keep us amused for hours."
Shane Allen, BBC controller of comedy commissioning, said Sallis would be "fondly remembered for having the most distinctive and well-loved voice in animation".
Tony Hall, director general of the BBC, said: "Peter Sallis featured in many of the BBC's most popular programmes.
"He was a marvellous actor - who could forget that remarkable voice?
"Peter will be greatly missed by his many fans. Our thoughts are with his family and friends."
Paddy McGuinness paid tribute to the actor on Twitter, writing: "RIP the great Peter Sallis. #CrackingToast" - the hashtag a reference to one of Wallace's catchphrases.
Allo Allo actress Vicki Michelle tweeted: "Sad to hear about Peter Sallis. Fabulous actor loved by the nation... Somehow ageless, a lovely man."
In a statement, Jonathan Altaras Associates said: "It is with sadness that we announce that our client Peter Sallis died peacefully, with his family by his side, at Denville Hall on Friday 2 June."
Denville Hall is a retirement home for actors, and is also where Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs died last year.
As other actors came and went in Last of the Summer Wine, Sallis remained one of the programme's stalwarts as Cleggy, alongside Bill Owen as Compo and Brian Wilde as Foggy Dewhurst.
The Wallace and Gromit films won three Oscars and Sallis often spoke about how glad he was to have such success late in life.
"It is pleasing knowing millions are going to see your work and enjoy it," he said. "To still be involved in a project like this at my age is heartwarming.
"To have a legacy like this is very comforting. I am very lucky to have been involved."

Georgia Varley, 16, from Moreton, Wirral, died in October 2011 after falling between the train and the platform at James Street station.
Guard Christopher McGee, 45, was jailed for five years for her manslaughter by gross negligence.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) said improvements must be made.
During McGee's trial at Liverpool Crown Court, the jury was told he had given the signal for the train to depart while Ms Varley, who was drunk, was leaning against it.
A blood analysis following her death showed she had 236mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood in her system - the legal driving limit is 80mg.
She also had the drug mephedrone, also known as M-cat, in her system at the time of her death.
McGee, from Wallasey, was sentenced earlier this month.
The RAIB said Merseyrail systems should be improved so the guard could look out of the train for as long as possible, ideally until a train had left a station.
It also said the driver should be able to stop the train quickly in an emergency.
In addition, it said it should reduce the likelihood of falls through the platform edge gap, either by installing platform edge gap fillers or adding a plate or vehicle body side panel to the edge of its trains.
A spokeswoman for Merseyrail said: "Following the publication today of the RAIB report about the accident at James Street station on 22 October 2011, Merseyrail's thoughts and deepest sympathies remain with the family and friends of Georgia Varley.
"The safety of passengers remains of paramount importance to us and we respect the analysis and conclusions of this independent report.
"Merseyrail will respond constructively to the recommendations made to us, believing that the report contributes positively to the continuous improvement of safety, not only on our own system, but throughout the UK rail network."
Witnesses reported hearing a "massive crash" outside London Bridge's outpatient hospital in Emblem House, Tooley Street at about 09:25 BST.
The woman, thought to be in her 20s, suffered a non-life-threatening head injury, the Met Police said.
London Bridge Hospital has been contacted for a comment but has yet to respond.
Dan McAlpin said he was walking "about four or five feet behind" the woman when the window fell.
"I heard this massive crash and saw the window had fallen on top of this woman." he said.
"I went over to help her, she was lying face down and she wasn't moving. At first I thought she was dead."
"It was really windy. The window was the size of a normal house door with a wooden frame.
"She was conscious and she was crying. I was just trying to hold her head and stop the bleeding. She had a nasty gash across the width of the head and her teeth were smashed in too."
London Ambulance Service said the woman was taken to the Royal London Hospital for treatment.
The Health and Safety Executive has been informed.
A spokesman for London Bridge Hospital said it was looking into what had happened and was co-operating fully with the authorities' investigations.
Firefighters saw the majority of overnight call-outs involve fallen trees, blown over when winds reached up to 50mph (80kmph), London Fire Brigade said.
The Met Office has issued a yellow, "be aware", weather warning for strong winds across London until 19:00 BST.
Police said the decision was made following a review of security after the terror attack at Westminster last week.
The extra protection would be installed on Monday evening, a force spokesman said.
The spokesman added that there was "no intelligence to indicate a specific threat to Windsor".
The new barriers will be in addition to the normal road closures which had already been arranged for the Wednesday event, the spokesman added.
Ch Insp Sarah Grahame, of Thames Valley Police, said the barriers would provide "further protection for people in the town in light of recent events in Westminster".
"I hope that people in Windsor will understand the reasons that these barriers are being introduced, and will see why they are necessary," she said.
The tax is aimed at preventing foreign investors, many from mainland China, from driving up costs in Canada's most expensive property market.
British Columbia's property transfer tax rates currently range from 1% to 3%, depending on a home's value.
The average cost of a Vancouver home increased 32% over a year.
Recent government data shows that foreigners have invested an estimated C$1b (£572m) in property in British Columbia, where Vancouver is located, between 10 June to 14 July.
About 86% of that investment was focused on Vancouver's metro area.
The new law, which took effect on Tuesday, imposes a one-time tax on foreign buyers, foreign-register corporations and Canadian corporations controlled fully or in part by foreign nationals or foreign corporations.
British Columbia will also hire additional auditors to help enforce the new tax.
Many have blamed wealthy overseas buyers for driving up the city's soaring house prices, a sentiment echoed in places like Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and the UK.
49%
of residential sales in London over £1m in June 2012 to 2013 made to international buyers
28% were non-residents
Miami top US destination for foreign buyers
21% of buyers in Miami are Venezuelan
59% of US foreign buyers are residents of the country
There are some 11,000 homes in Vancouver that have been sitting empty for at least 12 months, according to city data.
Critics of the new measure argue that investors could find loopholes to evade the tax or that it might increase housing prices in other attractive Canadian cities.
Ontario's Finance Minister Charles Sousa said his government will follow the new tax "very closely" in the coming months as a possible solution to rising prices in Toronto, where the average cost of a home was C$746,546 in June -a jump of nearly 17 percent during the same month last year- according to the Canadian Real Estate Association.
Some real estate agents are concerned the tax could affect sales that are currently in negotiation.
Vancouver was also given authority to levy a special tax on vacant homes, which has been another major concern with foreign investors in the property market.
Mayor Gregor Robertson, who proposed the tax, has said the measure will encourage investors to rent their homes and help end the city's housing affordability crisis.
Or imagine being able to diagnose and treat the diseases of people half way around the world while you remain in your clinic, or walking around a gallery and having your own holographic guide pointing things out to you on your smart glasses.
These are just some of the exciting examples of what "augmented reality" (AR) technology is beginning to offer us.
This clumsy phrase just means overlaying digital information onto the physical world via an electronic device, whether that's a mobile phone, tablet or smart glasses.
No wonder Microsoft and Magic Leap - backed by Google and Alibaba - prefer to call it "mixed reality".
In time, it will allow us to interact with a world that is enhanced by multimedia provided by very clever computers - reality, only better.
"In five years, people expect the screen to be replaced by artificial intelligence - a virtual private assistant interacting with us via AR glasses," says Esmeralda Swartz, vice-president of marketing, enterprise and cloud at communications firm, Ericsson.
Smart sensors and the internet of things will transform "the city of the future into a portal we interact with," says Ms Swartz."
And with AR, unlike the totally immersive virtual reality (VR), we can still see what's going on around us. We can move about, whereas VR users are restricted to a small area. This means AR has more immediate practical applications for business.
Google Glass blazed a trail for this kind of tech, even though the BBC's Technology correspondent concluded it was "a fascinating failure" - the monocular design being deemed too weird for most consumers.
Surprisingly, tech firm Vuzix is adopting a similar approach.
But a number of other companies are now producing stereoscopic smart glasses or head-mounted displays that have potential uses in business, education, health, defence, retail and science.
For example, Meta recently showed off its new, rather bulky, headset at the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in Vancouver, Canada.
And Osterhout Design Group (ODG), a tech firm with a history of creating night vision goggles and heads-up displays for the US military, describes its latest R7 glasses as "a tablet you wear on your head".
The experience created by the two stereoscopic displays is "like a 70-inch TV screen floating roughly 6ft (1.8m) in front of you," says ODG's chief operating officer, Pete Jameson. Users operate the glasses in conjunction with a wireless hand-held controller.
One of its users, Optech 4D, has created software that integrates with the glasses to help maintenance engineers in the oil and gas industry.
The glasses recognise the piece of equipment, bring up its service history on screen, and show the relevant maintenance procedures.
"The ability to have line of sight is very important so you don't have to look away from what you're doing," says Mr Jameson. And this is one of the key advantages of smart glasses in an industrial context.
Some of the more surprising applications of their glasses, which come with a list price of $2,750 (£1,950), include improving the eyesight of people with macular degeneration, adds Mr Jameson.
Microsoft's HoloLens, the latest version of which will shortly be released to developers at a cost of about $3,000, has already attracted commercial partners, such as car manufacturer Volvo and design software company Autodesk.
Nasa is already using a couple of the holographic headsets on the International Space Station, giving astronauts the ability to access mission control information and instruction manuals without being stuck in front of a computer monitor.
And scientists are using video footage and measurements taken by Mars rovers - mobile robots on the planet's surface - to create a virtual world that they can inhabit, meet and work in while wearing HoloLens headsets.
In the US, Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic are using the headsets to teach anatomy to students. The teacher and students can view the same 3D models and add layers of detail or focus on specific organs.
"We do believe the future is holographic," a Microsoft spokeswoman tells the BBC. "We're going to have experiences that extend and complement 2D experiences, but we also imagine a future without screens."
Augmented reality on expensive headsets is one thing - and that may be the future - but what about applications on cheaper mobile devices?
We've seen how static images can come alive as 3D animations just by holding your phone's camera over adverts, courtesy of companies like Blippar.
And retailers such as Ikea have also been experimenting with AR - enabling you to see what that two-seater sofa would look like against that wall, or over there by the TV. And virtual fitting rooms are allowing us to try on clothes remotely.
Cimagine, a tech company that has developed an AR platform for retailers, numbers Shopdirect.com and John Lewis among its clients.
Its software takes images of the retailer's digital product catalogue and superimposes them onto whatever your phone or tablet camera is looking at.
"Our software scans the room 60 times a second and keeps the virtual objects anchored to their positions," says chief executive and founder Yoni Nevo. "And our tracking and rendering engine makes products very lifelike - it's like they're actually there in the room."
As well as helping consumers visualise what products might look like in various places in their homes, Cimagine is helping companies sell products to other businesses.
For example, Coca-Cola uses the software to show restaurants and cinemas what its drinks vending machines might look like in different positions.
"Now they can close a deal after just one visit rather than three," says Mr Nevo.
Augmented, or mixed, reality "is going to be massive," concludes ODG's Pete Jameson.
"It's going to start out in the enterprise market then start to move in the consumer environment faster than we think."

Swans are two points away from safety with three games left, starting with Everton at home on Saturday, 6 May.
Clement concedes his side might have to win all their remaining matches to catch Hull City who are above them in 17th place.
"We know that if we manage to survive this year, it will have been a remarkable achievement," he said.
When Clement succeeded Bob Bradley as manager in January the Swans were bottom of the Premier League and the former Chelsea assistant concedes his first Premier League job has been a tough assignment.
"Anything worthwhile you have to work hard for, you have to put in the effort," he said.
"You have to go through the ordeal of all the pressure and we certainly have done that.
"If we manage to do it it's going to be a fantastic feeling.
"We have had really bad feelings in some of the games we have played, we have had fantastic feelings as well where we have played well and got good results.
"Those kind of pressures are a bit addictive - we want more of the good feelings."
Irrespective of the outcome of Swansea's fight for survival, Clement is confident he will be at the Liberty Stadium for the long term.
"My experience here since January I have learned a lot and I think I'm a better manager now than I was," he added.
"When I came in January I signed a contract that was for the remainder of this season, plus two more.
"I have really enjoyed my time working here for the club with all the great people here behind the scenes, a really good group of players and also a fantastic set of fans.
"So I am very happy here and I look forward to staying here for the remainder of my contract."
After Everton, Swansea face a trip to already-relegated Sunderland before a home game with West Brom.
They are likely to be without Ecuador winger Jefferson Montero, who limped out of Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester United with a hamstring problem after just six minutes as a substitute.
But winger Wayne Routledge (hernia) and defender Angel Rangel (foot) are set to return to squad training next week.
Internecine strife among Republicans over Donald Trump risked escalating into a political bloodbath as the party's most senior elected member, Paul Ryan, took the extraordinary step of effectively washing his hands of their standard-bearer. Diehard Trumpistas are enraged by Republican bosses shunning their own presidential nominee. During a conference call, one Congressman lambasted them as "cowards".
Clinton held her biggest campaign event yet, drawing 18,500 people to a rally in Columbus, Ohio, suggesting her base may be rallying round her after Sunday's vicious televised debate. The Democratic candidate also vaulted to an 11-point national lead in an NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll conducted over the weekend.
Nancy O'Dell, the woman who was the subject of lewd comments in the now-infamous Trump sex-boast tape, said: "There is no room for objectification of women," as she hosted her TV show Entertainment Tonight. The creator of The Apprentice, meanwhile, said he cannot legally release footage from the show, disappointing those hoping for a fresh batch of compromising Trump archive clips.
It's not just the Republican establishment that's split - the choice facing the nation has divided households, too, as the BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan found out...
Following Trump's suggestion that Hispanics in Las Vegas prefer to be called Latinos, BBC Mundo treads carefully into the minefield of US ethnic identity politics.

And squillionaire Clinton supporter Warren Buffett released his tax details after Trump accused him of exploiting loopholes to dodge paying his dues.
66.5 million - the number of Americans who tuned in for Sunday night's second presidential debate, a sharp fall from the first one two weeks earlier, which attracted a record-breaking 84 million viewers.
But this time the two candidates were up against the NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants, which was watched by 16.6 million people on NBC.
Yet another member of the Bush clan has come out in support of Hillary Clinton.
Lauren Bush Lauren posted a black-and-white photo of the Democratic candidate on her social media accounts with the caption, "#ImWithHer 🇺🇸".
Her grandfather, former president George HW Bush, and cousin, Barbara Pierce Bush, have recently telegraphed their support for Clinton.
Can it be coincidence that Lauren Bush Lauren's father-in-law, fashion designer Ralph Lauren, has dressed Clinton for her big moments during this campaign season?
Both presidential candidates will hit the trail in the Florida, which some analysts say could hold the keys to the White House on 8 November.
As a legal battle rages over extending voter registration in this pivotal battleground state, Clinton will be on the stump down in Miami alongside former US vice-president Al Gore.
Trump will hold a rally at Panama City Beach up in the Panhandle.

Donald Pemberton, 21, denies murdering Tanis Bhandari, 27, who had left a pub in Tamerton Foliot, in Devon.
Mr Bhandari was stabbed twice in the attack, Plymouth Crown Court has heard.
The trial was told he was wounded after meeting two men, who were armed with a knife and axe, and the scene was "like a massacre".
The court heard Mr Bhandari and his group of friends had left the King's Arms pub in the early hours of New Year's Day when they were approached by the two defendants, Mr Pemberton and Ryan Williams, who asked for a cigarette.
Simon Laws, prosecuting, said the group refused and, according to one of the women in the group, one of the defendants "pulled out an axe".
The witness said the man with the axe lunged at them and the group responded by jumping on him and pinning him down to defend themselves.
The other defendant was stabbing at the group with a knife, the witness said.
Mr Laws said Mr Bhandari was stabbed twice in the back and died at the scene and a number of other members of the group were seriously injured.
The scene was "like a massacre", said the witness.
"There was a lot of blood, fear, panic and confusion," said Mr Laws.
A neighbour said she heard screaming and saw a man "swinging a knife", the court was told.
A police sergeant called the scene "the most distressing and horrific that he had encountered".
Mr Bhandari, who had a 12cm (5in) deep stab wound in his back, died from loss of blood, the court heard.
His blood was found on a jacket belonging to Mr Williams, said Mr Laws, but Mr Williams had told police he was not at the scene.
Mr Laws said the blood and other DNA evidence showed that Mr Williams' "lies have been exposed".
He had been armed with a knife and stabbed Mr Bhandari, while Mr Pemberton had been armed with an axe that was found in his tracksuit trousers after he was arrested, the court heard.
Mr Pemberton was arrested by police with blood on his face and said: "He can die all he likes, I don't care" and claimed to police he was the "victim of an unprovoked attack".
Mr Laws said both defendants were "in it together and share responsibility for its awful outcome".
Jurors have been shown photographs of Mr Pemberton with weapons.
Mr Pemberton, of Tattenhoe Street, Milton Keynes; and Mr Williams, 22, of Haydon Grove, St Budeaux, Plymouth; both deny murdering Mr Bhandari.
They also deny three counts each of wounding with intent, and one count each of actual bodily harm, in relation to four other men who were injured.
The case continues.
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed talks about a 10-episode revival are under way.
There are said to be no deals in place with the show's stars or creators yet.
Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes were together again in Los Angeles on Thursday night for a Hillary Clinton fundraiser.
The cast were brought together for the first time in a decade in September by one of the show's creators, Max Mutchnick, for a short film based around the US election.
The 10-minute clip has had more than six million views on Youtube.
Speaking at the time, Messing - who plays Grace - told the Hollywood Reporter she would "never say never" about a revival.
She hinted that a streaming channel could be a natural fit because a return to network TV could be a problem, due to the cast members' busy schedules.
"I think that the logistics of all of our lives - there would just be way too many things to hammer out. But for something shorter-lived and maybe having the limitations of being on network TV lifted may give us a fun, fresh opportunity because we could be really, really naughty!"
Will & Grace ran for eight seasons between 1998 and 2006 and won 16 Emmy awards.
The show, about interior designer Grace and her gay flatmate Will, earned praise for bringing gay television characters into the mainstream.
The cast was rounded off by Will's best friend Jack and their socialite friend Karen.
It is still a hit on syndicated TV.

Scott Rennie, from Newton Stewart, had been on the Ballantrae-registered King Challenger when the incident happened west of Scalloway in June last year.
A Marine Accident Investigation Branch report said he was incapacitated within four minutes of falling into the water.
It said with a lifejacket it was likely he would have been recovered alive.
The 31-year-old slipped and fell overboard from a tipping door.
Mr Rennie's crewmates had recovered him from the water in less than 10 minutes, but he was unconscious.
A Coastguard rescue helicopter then transferred him to Gilbert Bain Hospital, but he could not be saved.
The MAIB said the crew was "unprepared for the rescue of an unconscious casualty from the water".
It added: "Following the accident, the owners of King Challenger prohibited their crews from climbing onto tipping doors without the use of a harness and lifeline.
"The owners have been recommended to review the risk assessments for all their vessels, paying particular attention to the risks associated with maintenance tasks."
Skippers have also been instructed to conduct man overboard drills on a monthly basis.
Souare, 27, broke his thighbone and jaw in the crash on the M4 near London in September 2016 and had to be cut free from his car by a team of firefighters.

The drop comes after Argentine Finance Minister Alfonso Prat-Gay said he would eliminate the foreign exchange restrictions that have propped up the peso since 2011.
After his announcement, markets opened with one dollar buying 14 pesos.
Analysts had predicted a fall of up to 30% from the previous controlled rate of 9.8 pesos to the dollar.
They said they expect it could fall to 14.5 pesos to the dollar. That is the rate at which the currency has been trading on the black market.
Argentine Finance Minister Alfonso Prat-Gay said that the country's central bank had been given the right to buy pesos if the exchange rate fell too rapidly.
But he said the restrictions needed to be removed to improve the country's ailing economy. Exchange controls would end for all businesses, who would be allowed to buy as many dollars as they needed.
But ordinary Argentines would still face restrictions on the amount of dollars they could buy a month.
Shop owners said consumers could cut spending in the short term as they see their purchasing power reduced, especially when it comes to dollar-denominated imports.
The previous government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner tried to end the buying of dollars four years ago, but prohibition simply fuelled the black economy.
Since then, informal street sellers in Buenos Aires offer foreign currency at much higher rates than the official one.
Argentines also found other creative ways to circumvent restrictions, from organised day-trips to neighbouring Uruguay to get US dollars from cash machines to Bitcoin trading.
The new policy may satisfy middle and upper-class Argentines who will now be able to get their dollars freely.
But they are also fearful of the consequences: higher prices and a potential devaluation of their currency.
The lawsuit claims she was fired after refusing his sexual advances.
Ms Carlson worked for the conservative-leaning US network for 11 years before her contract expired in June.
Mr Ailes denies the allegations and alleges Ms Carlson filed the suit in retaliation for not having her contract renewed.
Ms Carlson first co-presented the morning programme Fox & Friends before moving to her own show, The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson, in 2013.
The lawsuit, obtained by Politico, claims that when she moved to her own show, Mr Ailes "reduced her compensation and withheld network support and promotion" for her show.
"I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better," Mr Ailes allegedly said.
Ms Carlson, who won the Miss America contest in 1989, alleges that Ailes said he had "slept with three former Miss Americas, but not with her".
The complaint also alleges that Mr Ailes instructed her to turn around in his office so he could look at her backside and that fellow anchor Steve Doocy "regularly [treated] her in a sexist and condescending way" and regarded her as a "blond female prop".
Mr Ailes also allegedly called her a "man hater", "killer" and that she needed to "get along with the boys".
It is not her first time dealing with the matter - in her book, Getting Real, she writes about the experience of a television executive who "threw himself on top of [her] and stuck his tongue down [her throat]".
"Notwithstanding her strong performance and tireless work ethic," the lawsuit reads, "Ailes denied Ms Carlson fair compensation, desirable assignments and other career-enhancing opportunities in retaliation for her complaints of harassment and discrimination because she rejected his sexual advances."
But Mr Ailes said Ms Carlson had "conveniently" decided to pursue the case when she realised her contract would not be renewed.
"This defamatory lawsuit is not only offensive, it is wholly without merit and will be defended vigorously," he said.
Fox parent company 21st Century Fox said it had full confidence in Mr Ailes but would conduct an internal investigation.
Glyndwr University bought the ground and fans group Wrexham Supporters' Trust took over the club when it got into difficulties in 2011.
The trust board said it was the right time to reacquire the stadium, subject to fans agreeing the deal at a meeting.
In a statement, the university said the move would allow the club to "thrive and grow, both on and off the pitch".
The deal does not include Colliers Park training ground.
The Centenary Club, next to the stadium, will continue as the students' bar.
The report, It Takes a City to Raise a Child, was compiled by the Birmingham Commission for Children, a research group set up by the city council and backed by The Children's Society.
It said offering free access to sports grounds and museums would help bridge the poverty divide.
The council said it would consider the recommendations.
The report said that 31% of youngsters in the city were living in poverty last year, compared with the 27% UK average.
The commission, which was set up by the city council in June, said venues such as libraries, museums and Aston Villa Football Club should allow poorer children to access their facilities for free.
The Children's Society, which supported the commission's work, said organisations such as Aston Villa and Birmingham Royal Ballet had found it difficult to get poorer children to access their facilities.
It added that although many cultural attractions, such as libraries and museums, were free, it could be a "difficult journey" for a child in poverty to feel able to access such facilities.
Rob Willoughby, from The Children's Society, said: "Too many children in Birmingham are isolated from what the city has to offer, whether that's services, attractions, events and amenities."
It called on the council to draw together such attractions as part of a "coherent offer" for poorer families.
The society said the commission had not been set up as a response to criticism of the council's children's services, which were labelled "inadequate" by Ofsted in May.
"The report is entirely separate to the safeguarding issues in the city," the society said. "The commission was set up to look at the long-term aspirations for children in Birmingham."
The city council said it needed to "think very hard" about whether or not it agreed with the recommendations.
The two vehicles were left on roads close to Luton Airport.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Lord Hague said bringing forward the next election could help the UK secure a better deal in Brexit negotiations.
Lord Hague said an early election "would strengthen the government's hand at home and abroad" but acknowledged an imminent election was unlikely.
The next election is due in May 2020 under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act.
Lord Hague advocated repealing the legislation which was brought in by the coalition.
Lord Hague said the government faced "the most complex challenges of modern times".
These included "Brexit negotiations, the Trump administration, the threat from Scottish nationalists, and many other issues".
A snap election "would catch the Labour Party in its worst condition since the early 30s, and with its least credible leader ever".
"There is no doubt that they [the prime minister and cabinet] would be in a stronger position to take the country through these challenges successfully if they had a large and decisive majority in the Commons and a new full term ahead of them," he said.
He continued: "Any [Brexit] deal is bound to be full of compromises which one group or another in Parliament finds difficult to stomach.
"As British law needs to be amended countless times to take account of leaving the EU treaties, the government could face many close votes, concessions or defeats as it tries to implement Brexit.
"That prospect will embolden the EU negotiators, and makes an agreement that is good for the UK harder to achieve.
"It could also lead to a situation where the prime minister faces a stand-off with Parliament over a deal that will have taken two years to negotiate and is nearly impossible to change."
Mrs May has warned peers they could "incentivise" the EU to offer the UK a bad Brexit deal if they pass a further amendment to the Article 50 bill.
The House of Lords is expected to vote at about 17:00 GMT on Tuesday on an amendment calling for Westminster to be given a "meaningful" vote on the withdrawal agreement secured by the prime minister during negotiations under Article 50.
It happened on the famous Promenade des Anglais after a firework display.
A lorry drove through a crowd of people who were celebrating.
At least 84 people have died.
The group who call themselves Islamic State have said that the attack was carried out by one of their followers.
If you're upset by anything in the news take a look at the advice here.
The driver of the lorry was killed by police.
The French police have stepped up their security and are investigating the attack.
Emergency services were quickly on the scene and are doing all they can to help those who have been affected.
French officials have called the attack "an act of terror."
French President Francois Hollande said "France is badly hit," adding that, "we need to do everything we can to fight against" such attacks.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
A state of emergency had been in place after last November's attacks in Paris where 130 people died.
President Hollande has extended a state of emergency across France by three months because of this attack.
In January 2015, people working at the Charlie Hebdo magazine were targeted, as well as people in a Jewish supermarket.
Then in November, there were a number of attacks across France's capital city Paris.
The extremist group that calls itself Islamic State - or IS - said they had carried out those attacks but it's not yet known who's behind what happened in Nice.
Islamic State have an extreme view of the religion of Islam which means they believe that democracies like France are their enemy.
The French military has bombed Islamic State in its bases in Iraq and Syria, and IS has said that the terror attacks in France are its revenge.
Attacks like this are always shocking but it's important to remember that events like this are extremely rare.
Officials visited the Medway Secure Training Centre (STC) in Rochester, managed by security firm G4S on Monday.
Seven staff were suspended after secret filming by the BBC Panorama programme.
Justice Secretary Michael Gove told the House of Commons he would be meeting with the firm this week to discuss the allegations.
He said the alleged assaults would be treated with the "utmost seriousness" but it would be "quite wrong" to make a "blanket allegation" against G4S, pointing out that other institutions which it operated did a "good job".
Shadow Home Secretary Andy Burnham has said if the claims are true, G4S should be stripped of its contract to run Medway and other STCs.
The allegations - uncovered by Panorama - involve unnecessary force, foul language and a cover-up.
The claims relate to 10 boys aged 14 to 17.
The programme is due to be broadcast later.
Last week, G4S wrote to the BBC to try to stop broadcast of the footage, arguing filming was unauthorised and illegal.
However, Paul Cook of G4S said he was "shocked and appalled" and was supporting a police investigation.
An Ofsted inspection report in September 2014 into Medway rated it as "good with some outstanding features".
Inspectors said the centre was "orderly" and "calm" and young people were said to feel safe.
The centre holds 56 children, mainly boys, aged 12 to 17. It is not allowed to take any more while the investigation takes place.
Among the allegations uncovered by Panorama and now subject to investigation are that Medway staff:
BBC News understands that Ofsted has decided not to publish an inspection report about another STC run by G4S - Oakhill in Buckinghamshire.
The inspection report was due to be released at 10:00 GMT, but a late decision was made not to do so.
Sources said the Ofsted inspection into Oakhill graded it as "good".
The Panorama programme Teenage Prison Abuse Exposed will be broadcast on Monday, 11 January on BBC One at 20:30 GMT.
The figures, which precede the Brexit vote, show the deficit in goods and services widened to £2.26bn, up from a downwardly-revised deficit of £1.95bn in April.
The deficit on trade in goods alone was £9.9bn in May, up from £9.4bn in April.
The Office for National Statistics said goods exports fell £2.1bn to £23.7bn, while imports fell £1.6bn to £33.5bn.
The sharp fall in the value of the pound since the EU referendum vote - it is currently at its lowest level for 31 years against the US dollar - has prompted hopes that it will boost demand for UK goods.
But Howard Archer, chief economist at IHS Global Insight, said there was "no guarantee that the markedly weakened pound will provide a major boost to UK exports".
He said the very fact of the UK leaving the EU could hold back economic growth in both the EU and globally, which would hit demand for UK exports.
Mr Archer added that "imports are likely to rise markedly in value terms in the near term due to the sharp drop in sterling".
However, he said that the volume of imports could be affected by weakening domestic demand.
The British Chambers of Commerce said the figures painted a "rather bleak picture" of the UK's external position.
Suren Thiru, the lobby group's head of economics, said not all exporters would necessarily benefit from the lower pound.
"A weak pound is something of a double-edged sword, as many UK exporters are also importers as a result of global supply chains and so will be facing higher input costs due to the weakening currency."
The 28-year-old Warriors centre, who came to Sixways directly from Rugby School in 2006, has largely been limited to European Challenge Cup appearances this season.
Grove, who played a big part in getting Warriors promoted in May, has failed to make Dean Ryan's Premiership team.
He will join utility back younger brother Oli, 25, at the Exiles.
The three-times capped Scotland centre, who made his international debut in 2009. has run in 29 tries in 151 appearances for Warriors,
Grove spent six months on loan to Edinburgh for the first half of the 2010-11 season, following Worcester's relegation to the Championship.
He was then part of the Warriors team which went down again in 2014, but stayed at the club this time, playing a key role in their return to the Premiership via the play-offs, which included two semi-final victories over two legs against Scottish.
"I spoke to Dean Ryan about getting some more time out on the pitch and I'm familiar with the club after coming down many times to watch Oli play," said Gove.
"It's a great opportunity to get some game time at Scottish and hopefully contribute in the coming weeks."

Saturday's 1-0 Premier League defeat at Watford leaves Clement's side two points behind 17th-placed Hull City with five games remaining.
Under Brendan Rodgers, the Swans won promotion to the top flight by beating Reading at Wembley in May 2011.
"With the position we are in, Stoke becomes a must-win game," said Clement.
"It is probably the biggest game the club has seen in a few years, probably since the play-off final."
Clement has previously been dismissive of the notion of "must-win" games.
"I've been asked a lot since I joined, 'is that a must-win game?' but there were still lots of games to play," he said.
"Now the next game is huge. We have to win, we have to beat Stoke. The players know that, what we need is to embrace this pressure.
"When the pressure is gone, we won't be able to stay in this league. So we have to continue to believe. We have three home games at the Liberty and with the fans' support, hopefully it will be enough."
Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, who Clement tried to sign prior to his retirement, says Swansea's poor form is down to a lack of confidence.
"I understand if Paul Clement seemed downcast at full-time," he said. "It was disappointing from Swansea's perspective - the one thing you expect as a manager is effort and a desire to get out of the situation they are in.
"That was slightly lacking from the start. Swansea were short in their energy and what they put into the game.
"It's a confidence issue - they are on a bad run and gave sloppy balls away throughout the game.
"It looks like a straight fight now between Swansea and Hull for that last relegation position.
"I watched Hull today and they are a team creating chances. You can see that they have some momentum."

Clement said defender Alfie Mawson was distraught after his mistake led to Etienne Capoue's winning goal for Watford.
"I hope Alfie Mawson would have learned after the last game, because he was taking some risks in that one," Clement said. "I said to him at half-time: 'That has to be it now.'
"He's a good player and he will learn from it. He's going to end up being a very good player, but his job is to keep it simple.
"Alfie is really upset, he knows he's made a big mistake."
The 22-year-old was needed back at Deepdale following Premier League side Sunderland's decision to recall Jordan Pickford from a season-long loan.
Preston-born Johnstone first signed for North End in January 2015, keeping 12 clean sheets in 25 games to help them win promotion from League One.
He returns with Simon Grayson's side stood 17th in the Championship table.
Having re-signed initially for 28 days, up to and including the Derby County game at the end of January, he is available for Saturday's first game of 2016 at home to Rotherham United, who also have former England keeper Chris Kirkland on their books.
"My last game here for Preston was at Wembley," said Johnstone, who has also been out on loan at Scunthorpe United, Walsall, Yeovil Town and Doncaster Rovers. "It was a great day, but now we've got to kick on.
"It's great to be around the team at Manchester United, but I am 22-years-old and I have to think about myself a little bit and I need to be playing first team football."
Preston manager Simon Grayson added: "Jordan has gone back and we would like to thank him for his efforts whilst he was here. It is no surprise, considering how well he has done that they want to have a look at him.
"Sam is someone we know very well, who we tried to sign in the summer. We made no secret of the fact we wanted Sam back then and we made a huge effort to get it done. It didn't materialize, but hopefully he'll slot back in now just how he left us at Wembley."
Rose was charged for knocking a red card out of referee Trevor Kettle's hand in Newport's 3-2 loss at Cambridge United in February.
The 22-year-old was initially sent off for giving away a late penalty, but the dismissal was overturned.
Rose, the brother of Tottenham's Danny Rose, was also fined £1,000.
County received a £2,500 fine after admitting a charge of failing to control their players.
The matter was heard by an independent regulatory commission.
There isn't a city or village, bar or community hall - except, of course, those being targeted by African jihadists - where the World Cup in Brazil has not taken centre stage over the past two weeks.
Unlike any other continent, Africa's footballers belong to us all - not to Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Ivory Coast or even Algeria - but to the whole expectant mass of us in our constant need to reassert ourselves as a continent of heart and talent, especially on the world stage that is Brazil 2014.
Four years on from the first World Cup on African soil, many of the same splattering of players have landed on Brazil's green fields only to raise our anxiety levels as we watched mediocre football garnished with ageing strikers, petulant red cards and kamikaze defences.
Furthermore, we smelt the stench of mutiny and rebellion over money amongst the ranks of our African stars all the way across the Atlantic Ocean separating Brazil from the west coast of Africa.
Ghana's President John Mahama was in no mood to have his football interrupted by players who were bickering over unpaid fees and he dispatched a plane with $3m (£1.76m) to appease the feuding team.
The Black Stars, meant to light up our World Cup with the purest of African football as they had done in 2010, had been threatening a power cut.
Cameroon's Indomitable Lions, who at one stage had threatened not to board the plane to Brazil over unpaid money, played without teeth.
Ivory Coast's Elephants, long considered the most talented team we could offer, surrendered a chance to reach the last 16 with an idiotic penalty in the dying seconds and will go down in history as the team that could never deliver.
Pele famously predicted that an African team would win the World Cup by 2000
No African team has ever reached the semi-finals
Only three teams have reached the quarter-finals: Cameroon in 1990; Senegal in 2002 and Ghana in 2010
2014 was the first time two African teams reached the last 16
More lows than highs for Africa in Brazil
Cameroon investigates World Cup match-fixing claims
Ghana FA chief to sue Daily Telegraph
Would there be a silver lining in these dark clouds over Brazil? And would that lining be all about the silver? Nigeria's Super Eagles - Africa's current champions - soon missed a training session over disagreements concerning their bonuses.
It is altogether some miracle then that, for the first time, we had two teams through to the last 16 of this world cup as Algeria and the disgruntled Nigerians continued to stamp Africa's mark on Brazil.
But why are things so fraught in African football federations? Why is it so easy for the headlines about African football to look like allegories of bad politics and corrupt governance?
It doesn't matter where you are - Zimbabwe, South Sudan, South Africa and beyond - Africa's football fans bemoan the administrators who generally fail to provide the national teams with the support they need.
Talent and potential remain unfulfilled, teams are stranded at football tournaments because federations could not afford return tickets, and South Africa, the hosts of 2010, have had 23 coaches in 20 years.
Those that have made it to Brazil cannot escape the organisational chaos of their own federations as the constant bickering over bonuses and fees has shown.
Yet, a country's appearance at the World Cup final is worth, at the last count, $8m.
There should, should there not, be enough silver to pay the talent? When we consider Ghana's spectacular performance four years ago, Cameroon's regular appearance at tournaments, and Nigeria's status as reigning African champions - where has all the silver gone? Why is the talent treated so shabbily?
It is almost certainly the case that football is too close to political patronage in many countries and those that run our federations are closer to government than the fans.
They will preach impractical patriotism as incentive enough to play, and leave themselves open to the lure of criminals' betting syndicates and bogus international fixtures to line their own pockets.
Is it any wonder then that there is a desperate lack of trust between the players and their federations?
Moreover, the African talent on display on the fields of Brazil is made up of international stars from every league in the world who at times carry their poorer countrymen, but who cannot be expected to work under the kind of dodgy federations the Messis, Ronaldos and Neymars of this greatest show on earth never have to deal with.
It is then we saw the egos. I don't know what other football fans can see on their televisions, but there were African coaches standing on the side lines who we knew had not picked the team, whose body language said: "I have no control over these moneyed and arrogant peacocks and this is not my fault."
As the curtain fell on Africa's participation at Brazil 2014, Nigeria and Algeria lifted the football from the mediocrity of Africa's football administrators at last - losing in the dying minutes to France and Germany - and lifted us all from the nightmare images of players kissing bundles of cash.
Having previously offered his resignation following his Africa Cup of Nations triumph, citing "a lack of support and respect", Nigeria's manager Stephen Keshi did resign after the French defeat - perhaps to become South Africa's 24th coach - but he has left a young exciting attacking team we will no doubt watch for years to come.
Planeloads of cash will not win us a World Cup, but it is time to treat African talent as talent and pay them what they're worth.
And that means talent on and off the field - for football administration should not be a job for life as it so often is in many federations.

Charlie Parker, a former politician, was shovelling snow near his home in Nova Scotia when he spotted a dark shape moving through the snow.
When he came closer, he found 73-year-old Gerald Whitman face down on the road.
"He thought I was a seal," Mr Whitman told CBC News.
"On behalf of all seals, I'd like to thank him for his interest. … If he hadn't been as strong as he was, I think we still would be there."
Mr Whitman had been driving to hospital on Monday for a dialysis treatment, when he took a detour because the road was closed.
"I made a wrong turn somewhere," he said, explaining how his car became stuck in the snow.
Not wanting to become trapped in his car, Mr Whitman crawled out of the passenger side and set out for a house he could see in the distance.
But snow was deep and hard on his arthritic knees. When he sat down for a break, he could not get up. So he crawled, knowing "what would happen if he fell asleep," he told the CBC.
"After about an hour, I thought, "Well, if this is what it's going to be - I made peace with the Lord and said 'If it be your will, so be it.' And I just stopped. Apparently it wasn't his will."
Mr Parker had spotted Mr Whitman while he was shovelling the driveway for his son, who was on his way home from a night shift.
"I'm sure I didn't do anything different than anyone else would have," Mr Parker said.
Whitman was taken to a hospital and has since recovered. He plans to drive to his next appointment later this week.
The 29-year-old reached his ton from 169 balls - with 14 fours - as captain James Franklin hit 63 off 67 balls.
Franklin earlier had Kumar Sangakkara caught behind for 114 as the visitors collapsed from 265-5 to 311 all out.
Surrey took regular wickets, with Mark Footitt claiming 3-83, but the hosts recovered from 204-5 to close on 296-5.
Sangakkara was ousted after adding just a single to his overnight score when Ollie Rayner took a spectacular one-handed catch at third slip.
Franklin claimed his second wicket in as many overs when Sam Curran nicked the ball to Rayner and Tom Helm (3-81) then mopped up the tail soon after as Surrey collected their third batting bonus point.
Middlesex's openers survived through to the break unscathed only for Curran to trap Nick Gubbins lbw the very first ball after lunch.
Stevie Eskinazi (67), put down on 29 by Scott Borthwick, hit his third Championship half-century this season but was caught behind off Footitt to bring an end to his 100-run third-wicket partnership with Malan.
When Adam Voges (9) and John Simpson (11) fell cheaply the home side looked in trouble, but Malan battened down the hatches as Franklin attacked from the off, contributing 63 to their 92-run sixth-wicket stand.
With the new ball available in just two overs' time, Surrey will be looking to make early breakthroughs on Sunday morning.
Middlesex century-maker Dawid Malan told BBC Radio London:
"I needed those runs. It was nice to contribute in a game we need to win. I've been making 20s and 30s, with the ball hitting the middle of the bat, so it was nice to convert my decent start into three figures.
"Our bowlers stuck to their guns this morning, especially having strayed from out plans yesterday. They were right on it and all credit to them for that session when they took 48-5.
"There's still a little bit in the pitch. If we can get another 120, then there's no reason why we can't put them under pressure and give ourselves something to chase on the last day."
Surrey coach Michael de Venuto told BBC Radio London:
"It was a disappointing day to lose five wickets for 48. The nature of our dismissals was poor.
"We certainly weren't got out, and that was a below-par total for us on that wicket.
"We have to put it behind us quickly and come out with a new ball and bowl like we know we're able to. There is still a lot of cricket to be played."
Cardiff University is leading a three-year research project into a special form of concrete to reduce the need for road repairs.
The new material uses bacteria in microcapsules which burst out to plug gaps and cracks when water enters them.
The bacteria forms to produce a limestone seal.
Professor Bob Lark from Cardiff University's school of engineering said: "We can introduce fibres into the mixtures which limits cracks from being formed.
"But equally it's about saying once those cracks form - and when water gets into them and that freezes and expands it makes the cracks bigger - we can have a mechanism for knitting those cracks together."
Prof Lark said it was similar to someone cutting themselves while shaving, with the bleeding being part of the process as the skin repairs itself.
The material is being developed in conjunction with Bath and Cambridge scientists.
The 39-year-old appeared in court in Belfast on Saturday, facing 14 charges, including causing the fake alert at Mr Adams' west Belfast home in May.
The Sunday Life newspaper has named the accused as Eric Rohloff from Clifton Road in Bangor, County Down.
The charges also include making threats to kill other members of Sinn Féin.
Mr Rohloff was remanded in custody to appear before Belfast Magistrates' Court again on Thursday.
It reported Mr Cameron as saying that the appointment could destabilise the UK government and bring forward referendum plans on EU membership.
Downing Street has not yet commented.
Mr Juncker told a German newspaper that his opponents should not be allowed to "blackmail" the EU.
The former Luxembourg PM was quoted in Bild - Germany's biggest newspaper - as saying he remains confident of becoming the next president of the European Commission.
Correspondents say Mr Cameron, at an informal EU summit earlier this week, made his views clear - that he wanted a reformer to take charge of the EU executive.
Mr Juncker's European People's Party won the largest number of seats in the European parliament in the May polls.
The centre-right grouping, which also includes German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats, won 213 out of 751 seats in the Parliament and chose Mr Juncker as its candidate for the presidency to succeed Portugal's Jose Manuel Barroso.
But Mr Cameron and several other European leaders have voiced opposition to his appointment, which has received the backing of Chancellor Merkel.
Der Spiegel says the British prime minister issued the warning to Angela Merkel during the meeting in Brussels.
Quoting "sources close to the participants" of the summit, the influential magazine said Mr Cameron told Chancellor Merkel that selecting Mr Juncker could destabilise his government to such an extent that an in-out referendum on Britain's EU membership would have to be brought forward.
The magazine quotes Mr Cameron as telling the German chancellor that "a face from the 1980s cannot solve the problems of the next five years".
A senior government source told the BBC it did not recognise the language about destabilisation and that it is not something the prime minister would have said.
Jean-Claude Juncker
But the BBC's Chris Morris in Brussels says it is no secret that Mr Cameron opposes Mr Juncker and that the UK view is that the need for change is well-established.
The report comes a day after Angela Merkel made her clearest statement yet of support for Mr Juncker and leaves her in a difficult position, our correspondent says.
He adds that much of the German political establishment believes Mr Juncker should get the job because his party will be the largest political grouping.
EU leaders traditionally choose the Commission head on their own, but under new rules have to "take into account" the results of the European elections.
Downing Street has emphasised that it will be national governments - not the European parliament - which will have to agree on the president.
Mr Juncker's main rival is the Socialist candidate Martin Schulz.
Mr Juncker is known for his role in chairing the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers that had to make tough decisions about struggling debt-laden countries.
Mr Juncker is not thought to be amenable to a wide-ranging renegotiation of Britain's relationship with Brussels.
Other leaders opposing the appointment include Sweden's Fredrik Reinfeldt and Hungary's Viktor Orban. | Craig Hignett got his tenure as Hartlepool manager off to a positive start with a win over 10-man Yeovil.

Elliot Willis was given the devastating news at the end of 2015.
That meant 2012 silver medallist Patience had to find another partner in the 4-70 class and re-qualify for Rio.
"I did think for a while that if I can't do it with him then I don't know if I want to do it all, but that was the emotional Luke talking," he said.
"I did feel incredibly guilty. I still feel guilty now that I'm away sailing, but he wouldn't want me to do anything different.
"And it slowly dawned on me that, of course, I want to go and do it and, of course, I need to find someone else to do this with."
Patience qualified for the 2016 event with new partner Chris Grube, but Willis is still very much in his thoughts - and is a great inspiration.
"Whatever we go on to do at the Olympic Games in two months, he is and was part of that," the Scot stressed.
"I'm finishing things we started together with someone else, so he'll be as much a part of it even though he's not there in the boat."
Patience describes the situation with Willis as giving him "an extra wee bit of fuel".
However, he realises that going one better than London 2012 and winning Olympic gold is anything but assured and fears the heavily criticised water quality at Guanabara Bay could play a part in deciding who medals in Rio.
"The water is a bit foul, it's not nice," Patience told BBC Scotland. "But what are you going to do? That's where the Olympics will be.
"But it's not nice. It's a different kind of level of sewage I guess that I've sailed in before."
Despite being an experienced sailor, Patience admits to having some concerns about becoming ill from the water problems.
"There was times that I wondered if our medal prospects might be decided on whether someone gets ill or someone doesn't," he said. "And that's still maybe the case.
"I wouldn't wish it on my competitors and I certainly don't wish it on myself obviously.
"I hope everyone builds immunity to it and everyone is at their best and racing their best on the day."
Although the World Health Organization has dismissed calls for the Olympics to be moved because of the Zika outbreak in Brazil, other medical experts have expressed worries about the Games posing a risk to global public health.
"I've never heard so much rubbish in my life," said Patience. "Of course they're not going to postpone or cancel the Olympics.
"There are health issues everywhere you go around the world.
"It's not nice people getting the Zika virus or Dengy fever, but it would take more than that to have an Olympics stopped.
"They are a great sporting nation, they love sport and I honestly think the Brazilians will put on an amazing Olympics." | Luke Patience admits he thought about not trying to qualify for the Olympics again after his initial sailing partner was diagnosed with bowel cancer. | 36,435,049 | 668 | 31 | false |
The authorities ordered construction to stop on several occasions but were ignored, they say.
Engineers involved in the building have been asked to turn themselves in to police.
It is not clear how many people died - some reports say more than 160 were killed, the authorities say 29.
The roof of the church in Uyo, in the south of Nigeria, caved in on worshippers who had gathered for the ordination of a bishop.
The church was still under construction and workers had rushed to complete it for the ordination, witnesses say.
It is not unusual for buildings to collapse in Nigeria, the BBC World Service's Africa editor, Mary Harper, reports. Corners are cut, materials are sub-standard and the quality of work is often shoddy, she adds.
In 2014, scores of people were killed when a church hostel belonging to a Nigerian TV evangelist collapsed in the city of Lagos.
He said Brexit would freeze "the possibilities of investment in Great Britain or in Europe as a whole".
He appealed to the UK prime minister and other EU leaders to ensure an orderly process for the British exit.
Earlier EU leaders warned that the UK must honour the principle of free movement of people if it wants to retain access to the single market.
The leaders of the other 27 EU countries were meeting in Brussels without the UK for the first time in more than 40 years.
Mr Obama was speaking at a summit in Ottawa with the leaders of Canada and Mexico, aimed at strengthening economic ties between North American countries.
He said the preparations by central banks and finance ministers indicated that "global economy in the short run will hold steady".
But he added: "I think there are some genuine longer-term concerns about global growth if in fact Brexit goes through and that freezes the possibilities of investment in Great Britain or in Europe as a whole.
"At a time when global growth rates were weak already, this doesn't help," the president said.
Mr Obama also strongly defended free trade and promised to press on with plans for a Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Without mentioning Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump - who opposes the plan - he said: "We've had times throughout our history where anti-immigration sentiment is exploited by demagogues. But guess what? They kept coming."
Mr Obama said his main message to Britain and Germany was: "Everybody should catch their breath. I think that will be a difficult, challenging process, but it does not need to be a panicky process,''
The president said he had spoken to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and that her interest was making sure Britain's exit worked, not retribution.
Mrs Merkel was one of many EU leaders to stress again on Wednesday that freedom of movement for EU citizens was an essential part of the single market - and that there would be no negotiations with the UK until the bloc was formally notified of its intention to leave.
After their meeting, the 27 EU leaders said in a statement: "Access to the single market requires acceptance of all four freedoms."
The "four freedoms" that underlie the EU's internal market are the freedom of movement of goods, workers, services and capital.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will have separate phone talks with British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel later on Thursday, Japan's foreign ministry said.
Mr Cameron announced he would resign after the campaign he led for his country to remain in the EU was defeated by 52% to 48% in Thursday's referendum.
The outgoing leader said that he would attempt to "steady the ship", but that it would be for the new prime minister to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would give the UK two years to negotiate its withdrawal.
He told parliament in London that the issue of freedom of movement would be difficult to resolve.
"Frankly, it's a difficult issue inside the EU, where you've got all the negotiating ability to try and change things, and I think it will be in many ways even more difficult from outside," he said.
The Blaze Laserlight trial involves 250 Santander Cycles for hire, with the front light built into the frame.
It aims to increase cyclists' safety by giving them a bigger visible footprint and to overcome drivers' blind spots.
There have been eight cycling deaths in the capital this year, seven of which involved heavy goods vehicles.
Critics say dedicated cycle lanes would keep cyclists safer.
Santander Cycles said the trial was being funded as part of its annual budget and if the trial was successful it hoped to extend the laser light technology to more of its bicycles.
The club's debts are estimated at nearly 75m euros (£54m).
Giampietro Manenti promised to clear the debts when he took over as chairman last month but he was arrested on Wednesday after being accused of involvement in a credit card scam.
The Italian league has allocated 5m euro (£3.6m) so the league's bottom club can fulfil their fixtures.
In the absence of Manenti, club officials Osvaldo Riccobene and Enrico Siciliano represented the club at a scheduled hearing, which lasted 10 minutes.
Riccobene said: "The club's creditors called for bankruptcy, which was accepted by the prosecutor."
Parma's season has long descended into farce. Players have not been paid this campaign, while they have had to do their own laundry, drive the team bus and go without hot water.
The club - who have changed ownership twice this season - have already been hit with a three-point deduction and been forced to postpone two matches. They are 16 points adrift of safety.
Parma, who are coached by former Italy and AC Milan midfielder Roberto Donadoni, were runners-up in Serie A in 1997 and won the Uefa Cup in 1995 and 1999, as well as the 1993 Cup Winners' Cup.
Lancashire were reduced to 6-4 and 32-5 before recovering to 102-5, still 225 behind, when rain and bad light ended play 28 overs early at Old Trafford.
Middlesex earlier lost seven wickets for 65 runs to be bowled out for 327.
If Middlesex win and Somerset beat Yorkshire at Headingley, Middlesex will need four points from their final game against Yorkshire to become champions.
Whereas the visiting batsmen benefited from some loose Lancashire bowling on the first day, the Middlesex attack made perfect use of the new ball and the movement offered from the surface to rip through the home top order.
Toby Roland-Jones, constantly asking questions with a full length, had England prospect Haseeb Hameed caught at second slip without scoring, before Tim Murtagh induced an edge to gully from Luke Procter.
Roland-Jones then had Alviro Petersen held down the leg side, despite the batsman's protests, and yorked Steven Croft two balls later to leave the hosts in disarray at 6-4.
Jos Buttler briefly sparkled, but when he was brilliantly caught down the leg side by John Simpson to give Roland-Jones a fourth wicket, Lancashire were 32-5.
It was left to Rob Jones, in only his third first-class match, and Liam Livingstone to rebuild in an unbroken stand of 70, occasionally aided by light only good enough for Middlesex to bowl their spinners.
When the weather intervened for the final time, Jones, solid in defence, was unbeaten on 42 and Livingstone 31 not out.
The collapse came after an improved bowling display by Lancashire, with Kyle Jarvis and Tom Bailey making inroads with the second new ball and spinner Simon Kerrigan running through the lower order.
Overnight pair Dawid Malan (53) and Stevie Eskinazi were bowled by Bailey and Jarvis respectively before Bailey had Simpson caught at second slip.
Kerrigan, who struggled on the first day, showed a greater consistency of length to find turn and some uneven bounce, removing Ollie Rayner, Roland-Jones and Steven Finn in figures of 4-80.
The disease now kills more than three times as many women as breast cancer and thousands more than either heart attacks or stroke.
Analysts say the rising numbers may be because doctors are becoming more aware of the disease and recording it on death certificates more frequently.
Coronary heart disease remains the leading cause of death in men.
For males, dementia is the third most common cause of death.
The gradual wasting away of the brain in dementia cuts lives short.
The condition can be recorded as the sole cause of death, but is frequently found as an underlying condition. Many people with dementia ultimately die from pneumonia.
The data, published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed more than half a million people died in England and Wales in 2013.
Cancer is the leading killer when all subtypes of cancer are combined across both genders. Nearly one in three deaths last year was from some form of cancer.
The latest data confirms a dramatic shift in the causes of death in the past decade.
Between 2003 and 2013 the percentage of deaths from coronary heart disease, which includes heart attacks, fell to 16% of male deaths from 22%. In women the figure fell to 10% from 15%.
Improved care means people are more likely to survive heart attacks and more people take statins to prevent them in the first place.
Meanwhile, dementia rose to 6% of male deaths from 2% and to 12% of female deaths from 5%.
The latest data is the second consecutive year that dementia has been recorded as the leading cause of death for women.
The ONS report said: "Some of the rise over the last few decades may also be attributable to a better understanding of dementia.
"This means that doctors may be more likely to record dementia as the underlying cause of death."
Hilary Evans, the director of external affairs at the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "The figures highlight dementia as a huge problem that we cannot shy away from any longer.
"Encouragingly, the statistics reveal that other health conditions, such as heart disease, are beginning to be tamed and this has come about due to improved research into treatment, prevention and better public health.
"We must now turn our attentions to dementia - our greatest health challenge - and invest in research that will drive better prevention and treatment of the condition."
Gavin Terry, from the Alzheimer's Society, said: "Dementia is one of the biggest health and social care challenges the UK faces.
"For too long dementia has been wrongly seen by many clinicians as a natural part of ageing and, as such, have failed to record it as a cause of death."
Prof Peter Weissberg, the medical director of the British Heart Foundation, said coronary heart disease "continues to blight the lives of thousands of people and families".
"We've made great progress over the last 50 years but we still need to fund much more research to stop people dying needlessly, and to help the increasing number of people living with heart disease."

The exhibition features more than 120 works, brings together curator Quentin Blake's drafts and storyboards with finished art work to demonstrate how ideas evolved.
The 100th anniversary of Roald Dahl's birth will be celebrated in September.
A Roald Dahl-themed breakfast takes place at 10:00 BST, followed by drawing and a fancy dress competition.
Some find themselves self-employed because the people they work for prefer it that way.
When Norwich hair salon owner Barry Alan started out in the business, he was an employee. He's employed stylists in the past.
Not any more.
Today, all seven of the stylists working in Mr Alan's large central Norwich hair salon are what are called "chair-renters".
Instead of paying his stylists a weekly salary, Mr Alan shares the money customers pay with them.
You simply divide the money by whatever percentage you as the salon owner and the stylist have agreed, Mr Alan says. "If they are hungry to succeed and do well, the rewards are there."
Chair-renting is administratively simple for his business, Mr Alan says, and there are other advantages.
Because his stylists are freelance, Mr Alan doesn't have to pay Employers' National Insurance or in-work employee benefits such as paid maternity leave, sick pay, holiday pay or redundancy.
Most important of all, he doesn't have to worry about the weekly wage bill he'd have to find if his stylists were employees - particularly after the new £7.20 an hour Living Wage comes into force in April 2016.
"The happy-go-lucky Barry would be no more," Mr Alan says. "You would see a very stressed-out guy who is constantly looking at whether he can cover his overheads."
Mr Alan says he now provides extensive training, but having to pay staff as employees would make that harder.
"I'd be in a situation where I'd have to say 'sorry, Miss Young Graduate Stylist, we can't support you for two years because the minimum wage has gone up so we're going to have to let one or two of you go'."
Stylist Eden Spark was trained in Barry Alan's salon. Four years later, she is one of his "chair-renters".
"I think it's a good way to do it", Ms Spark says. "It makes you work hard and makes you ambitious."
Despite having none of the usual in-work employee benefits, Ms Spark says the chair-renting arrangement works for her.
"I like being my own boss," she says. "And I'm not really sick that much."
In this new class of freelancer, self-employed because they're not wanted as employees, some are far from happy.
When the national courier company Citilink suddenly collapsed last Christmas, the RMT union discovered that, despite the smart green-and-yellow livery people saw when parcels were delivered, most of Citilink's drivers weren't employees of the company.
"The public have a perception that these people are directly employed," RMT deputy general-secretary Mick Lynch says.
"But we found 78% of the drivers were in fact self-employed. They had to pay for their own vans, for the painting of the vans and for their uniforms."
Instead of wages, Mr Lynch says, self-employed Citilink drivers were paid a fixed fee per delivery.
"When there's low levels of work they get no pay, when there's high levels of work they get overworked," Mr Lynch says.
"The risk that Citilink had was exported to the workers and of course that makes them vulnerable."
Mr Lynch says Citilink's business model was based on employed drivers until the company embarked on a programme of making staff drivers redundant in the early 2000s.
"Drivers were given the choice of coming back as self-employed," Mr Lynch says.
"Many felt there was no choice because if they didn't take the self-employed basis they would have no work at all."
John Manners-Bell of the consultancy Transport Intelligence says the Citilink model is now commonplace in the courier industry.
"It all comes down to cost," Mr Manners-Bell says. "It's much cheaper for companies to use self-employed drivers than to have them on their payroll."
Mr Lynch says similar transfers, from staff to self-employment, are now commonplace in some sectors of British industry.
For some workers, being off the books can be financially beneficial.
Manchester-based IT support consultant Peter Meace is 58. He gets work through specialist recruitment agencies, which connect him with clients wanting to use his services, and travels to wherever he's contracted to work.
Mr Meace says he's better off self-employed because he benefits from another feature of the new British workplace: the so-called "umbrella company".
Umbrella companies stand between agency workers and their clients, processing client payments and dealing with tax and National Insurance.
They are also designed to save tax.
Mr Meace says the tax benefits his umbrella delivers more than justify the £35 a week it charges him.
"Things such as money I spend on mileage or accommodation become tax-deductible," Mr Meace says.
"In some contracts I've been spending £800 a month on expenses, but they go as tax-deductible items and I don't pay tax on them."
In a month where he spends £800 in expenses, Mr Meace reckons, the umbrella saves him approximately £300.
Employers hiring agency workers also benefit.
Not only do they not have to pay for in-work benefits and taxes, fierce competition between recruitment agencies also means some of the tax savings consultants like Peter make get passed on in the form of lower charges for their services.
Umbrella companies emerged in the late 1990s as a service for better-paid agency workers. But, because of their tax efficiency, umbrellas quickly spread though the IT industry encouraging employers to switch from employees to agency staff working through umbrellas.
Between 2013 and 2014 alone, the Freelancer and Contractor Services Association says, the number of people working through umbrella companies increased by almost 25%.
To deal with the growing demand, hundreds more umbrella companies sprang up, many offering services to employers in far lower-paid sectors.
Meredith McCammond, an expert in employment taxes for the lower-paid at the Institute of Taxation, says some umbrellas began adopting more aggressive tax avoidance strategies to compete for business and maintain their profit margins.
"Some employees have been encouraged to claim expenses that aren't legitimate or are over-inflated," Ms McCammond says.
"Not only does the worker make a tax saving when they use an umbrella company, but the umbrella company itself saves on their Employers' National Insurance in respect of any aspect of the worker's salary that can be attributed to those travel costs."
Ms McCammond says agency workers are often unaware of the potential danger they are in.
"We've seen cases where workers have come in with their payslips and haven't been able to understand what these various deductions are, and it's clear that the umbrella company has put through a flat amount of, say, £5 a day for a worker's lunch, even if the worker has taken a packed lunch from home," Ms McCammond says.
"It was fairly standard practice for some umbrellas to put through a flat sum of, say, £30 a day for subsistence costs," she added.
"Employers saved the National Insurance on that £30 a day, employees saved some tax and National Insurance and, if and when HMRC come knocking, it could be many years later."
Employment tax consultant Sue Ollerenshaw says competition between umbrellas and recruitment agencies is particularly intense in sectors like road freight transport.
"There's more and more downward pressure on margins," Ms Ollerenshaw says.
"Agencies are looking to be able to supply drivers at a rate where they can still make a profit. And, at the bottom of the market, the non-compliant agencies are putting intolerable pressure on the agencies that do want to comply because, by using non-compliant models, they are able to offer drivers at very, very competitive rates."
In his recent Budget, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne promised to take action against some of the more outlandish avoidance techniques some umbrellas have been using.
But, if recent history is any guide, the attractions to employers of keeping workers off the books will mean someone is likely, once again, to come up with a new tax ploy for avoiding employment taxes which nobody - including the UK tax authorities - has yet thought of.

The Right Reverend Tim Thornton said "radical changes" were needed to halt a "steady decline".
Bishop Thornton previously said the Church of England would struggle to exist in 10 years.
Speaking on Radio Cornwall, he said: "I'd been saying that for a while now so I think we have to come down and say it's five or six years."
Bishop Thornton said analysis of attendance figures was "all showing one thing".
He said: "I fear that we are on a steady decline at the moment."
The Diocese of Truro voted on 8 November 2014 for a 28% increase in the amount of money it needs from local churchgoers to reduce a £1.2m deficit over the next year.
Developers of Horizon Nuclear Power hope to start building Wylfa Newydd, by 2020 but need to secure permission first.
A consultation into plans to widen the A5025 between Valley and Wylfa has been launched.
Horizon said the pre-construction work would reduce building time.
It is the fourth public consultation for the nuclear site by the firm - owned by Hitachi Ltd - and includes plans to improve cycle and pedestrian crossings at the plant.
Plans to widen, reconstruct and add a new surface layer to the A5025 were first put to the public in 2016, the new consultation includes minor changes made after feedback.
Richard Foxhall, Stakeholder Relations Manager at Horizon, said finalising these plans ahead of securing planning permission for Wylfa would help speed up the process.
"These are important pieces of work that we need to complete before we start the main construction phase of Wylfa Newydd," he said.
"We've made some changes to our original proposals for both the site preparation and road improvements, and we're keen that local people have the opportunity to find out what's new and give us their views."
Horizon Nuclear Power hopes to submit a planning application for the power plant to Anglesey council later this year.
When operational, Wylfa Newydd is expected to create 850 permanent jobs and should start generating power by 2025.
Oisin Tymon was working on the programme when the incident happened, after Clarkson was told there was no hot food available at the end of a day's filming.
It led to Jeremy Clarkson being dropped by the BBC following the assault.
"I would like to say sorry, once again, to Oisin Tymon for the incident and its regrettable aftermath," Clarkson said.
"I want to reiterate that none of this was in any way his fault.
"I would also like to make it clear that the abuse he has suffered since the incident is unwarranted and I am sorry too that he has had to go through that.
"I am pleased that this matter is now resolved. Oisin was always a creatively exciting part of Top Gear and I wish him every success with his future projects."
Following Clarkson being dropped from the show, his co-presenters James May and Richard Hammond also left the programme.
Top Gear now has a new presenting line-up including Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc.
Clarkson, May and Hammond have since signed up to launch a rival motoring show on Amazon's streaming TV service.
The money will help the ride-hailing service to expand in the Middle East, where the company says 80% of its Saudi Arabian users are women.
Women are banned from driving themselves in the country.
The new funding values Uber at $62.5bn and will put one of the fund's managing directors, Yasir al-Rumayyan, on the board.
The investment from the Public Investment Fund, set up by the kingdom to develop the country and invest its oil revenues, was part of Uber's most recent fundraising round.
Uber will invest $250m in the Middle East, where it has been expanding aggressively.
So-called ride-hailing apps, whereby vetted drivers pick up paying passengers, are expanding rapidly around the world, despite certain cities banning the services amid fears over the standards and licensing of drivers.
The European Commission on Thursday warned against restrictions on "sharing economy" services such as Uber and Airbnb.
"Absolute bans and quantitative restrictions should only be used as a measure of last resort," it said.
Any restrictions by EU members on these online services should be proportionate to the public interest, the Commission added.
Ride-hailing apps have attracted significant cash injections from a range of investors.
Carmakers Toyota and Volkswagen recently struck separate partnerships with Uber and Gett, an Israel-based rideshare operator.
Uber's deal with Toyota followed Apple's $1bn investment in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxing.
In March, General Motors invested $500m in Lyft, a US rival to Uber, to help develop an on-demand network of self-driving cars.
The youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also pleaded guilty to having a knife.
The 17-year-old victim suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries during the attack in Heaton Street, Gainsborough, in September.
The boy has been remanded into local authority care and is due to be sentenced in January.
Lincoln Crown Court heard the teenage girl required a small number of stitches and was released from hospital later the same day,
Diamond - who played Screech in the TV show - was convicted earlier this month of two charges of carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct.
The 38-year-old actor had said he was defending his fiancee and had not intended to stab anyone.
He has been ordered to report to jail on Sunday to start his sentence.
Diamond left the courtroom in Wisconsin without commenting.
The fight happened on 25 December in Port Washington, Wisconsin, while Diamond was with partner Amanda Schutz.
Diamond said a group in the bar wanted to pose for pictures but others were badgering him and Schutz, and he tried to help her by brandishing his pocketknife to deter the group.
The man who was stabbed was not seriously injured.
As well as his role in the 90s high school-set sitcom, Diamond appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK in 2013.
The detailed 3D models feature buildings, proposed constructions, hills, trees and weather cycles, all of which can interfere with 5G signals.
Researchers will be able to test towers in various locations and instantly see how well they might perform.
One analyst said the tool would help networks provide better coverage.
Next-generation 5G networks will offer consumers faster connections and increased bandwidth for activities such as video streaming.
But Ordnance Survey says the higher frequency signals have a shorter range than current 3G and 4G signals, and are more susceptible to interference from "even raindrops and leaves".
The planning tool will use Ordnance Survey's mapping data and high-resolution aerial images to produce its 3D models, while weather data will be provided by the Met Office.
"The character of 5G means the location of cell towers is more sensitive - so it will be very important to fully understand the topography of each area," said Ben Wood, analyst at CCS Insight.
"The better the tools networks have to help site cell towers correctly, the more likely we'll get high quality coverage from the get-go."
Ordnance Survey said its maps were so detailed, they even included vegetation cycles to determine how trees might affect 5G coverage during different seasons.
Parts of Bournemouth have already been modelled using the experimental tool, which Ordnance Survey hopes will be rolled out across the UK.
"It will be a useful tool for companies deploying 5G networks," said Mr Wood. "But there is no alternative to spending the money to install a lot of cell sites."
The 33-year-old tighthead had a year left to run on his current deal but was released with the Coventry-based club well stocked in the front-row.
After leaving Treviso for Wasps in 2014, he went onto make 35 Premiership appearances in two seasons.
"Citta has been outstanding for Wasps," director of rugby Dai Young said. "He's a fantastic character to have around."
"Because he's such a good guy and been so good for Wasps, we didn't want to stand in his way when he had the opportunity to secure a longer-term deal elsewhere."
Compatriot Andrea Masi recently retired while Carlo Festuccia also left the club to end the Italian link with the Wasps club.
Cittadini, who has been involved with the Italy side's summer series against the USA, moves to a Bayonne side that just won promotion back to the Top 14 after a season in France's Pro D2.
"It was a very difficult decision to take," Cittadini said. "I feel very sad about leaving the club, but I want to look at this move as a very good opportunity in the last few years of my career.
"It is an exciting step and challenge in my rugby career and it is also a good opportunity for me and my wife as a family."
The 25-year-old pianist picked up a £20,000 cheque at Leeds Town Hall.
The competition takes place every three years and is open to pianists under the age of 30 from around the world.
This was the last contest to be overseen by Dame Fanny Waterman, who co-founded the event in 1961 and has stepped down at the age of 95.
Dame Fanny said: "This has been a truly marvellous competition with some of the finest young pianists entering.
"To hear a talent as fine as Anna's brings confidence that the competition will continue to produce the greatest pianists in the world for many years to come."
This year's six finalists performed with the Halle Orchestra, led by its music director Sir Mark Elder.
Sir Mark said: "Once again the Leeds International Piano Competition has found a truly exciting winner from some very talented finalists.
"The competition continues to achieve the highest standards and I am delighted to play a small part in it."
Tcybuleva is only the second female winner, and triumphed with Brahms' Concerto No 2 in B flat major. Her prize also included the Daw Aung San Suu Kyi gold medal and the Champs Hill Records award, allowing her to record her debut solo CD.
However her performance did not impress all observers.
Writing on the Slipped Disc blog, Erica Worth, editor of Pianist magazine, said: "This work needs warmth, gravitas, a certain humility, a feeling that one has lived, not to mention a velvety rich tone and utter command over the keyboard…
"But sadly, for this writer, it didn't deliver. There were some memory lapses and wrong notes too."
The Guardian critic Andrew Clements wrote that Tcybuleva's success "certainly raised a few eyebrows".
He said: "For all the fluency of her playing, she often seemed incapable of seeing the overall shape of the work, and her role in projecting it, rather than the detail of each passing moment."
Second place went to Heejae Kim, 28, from South Korea, with third prize going to Vitaly Pisarenko, 28, from Russia.
The contest was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on Sunday, and will be screened on BBC Four on the next three consecutive Friday evenings.
During a visit to inspect the area Kevin Hurley said he was concerned the camp was "completely un-policed".
But the head of a charity working at the camp called his claim "ridiculous".
The camp, on the outskirts of Calais, has grown in recent months and is now home to thousands of migrants.
Mr Hurley, the former lead on counter-terrorism at the City of London Police and current police and crime commissioner for Surrey, spent several hours in the camp with BBC London's Inside Out team.
He said he was worried the camp was "a potential hiding space" and that people there could be being exploited by organised criminals.
"If I were a returning jihadi, I would smuggle myself in amongst this group; you would easily get lost," he said.
Speaking to migrants at the camp, Mr Hurley was told that there were dangerous people staying in the "jungle".
One migrant said there were people at the camp who were "working for way of Daesh", although they were not part of the jihadist group.
Daesh is an acronym of the initial letters of the so-called Islamic State (IS) group's previous name in Arabic - "al-Dawla al-Islamiya fil Iraq wa al-Sham".
Another migrant from Afghanistan also told the BBC team there had been a murder in the area on the previous night.
A former Scotland Yard counter-terrorist investigator told the Inside Out team he had similar worries about the "jungle".
David Videcette said the "biggest risk" from the camp was UK nationals "who are trying to avoid detection by police... are now attempting to re-enter the country claiming to be asylum seekers".
However, the founder of Care4Calais, a UK charity set up to help migrants staying in the camp, dismissed the claims as "the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard".
Clare Moseley said: "You would have to be the world's stupidest terrorist to try and enter Britain as a refugee, because when you come as a refugee you are subject to detailed background checks."
Home Secretary Theresa May has previously told MPs all refugees coming to Britain will be subject to rigorous security checks to make sure IS militants are not among them.
Nevertheless, Mr Hurley insisted that it was not possible to carry out such detailed checks.
"You can't check a person with no passport coming from a fractured country", he said.
You can watch Inside Out on BBC One at 7.30pm on Monday 11 January and on the iPlayer for seven days afterwards.
How so?
In the first place advisers close to both of them tend to emphasise that some of the more controversial policies they have advocated - such as Donald Trump's suggestion he will renegotiate the North America Free Trade Agreement, or Hillary Clinton's that she backed a no-fly zone in Syria - are actually less radical than they appear and would involve "more of the same" rather than dramatic change.
While Republicans lambast President Barack Obama for "abandoning" global leadership, and some suggest Hillary Clinton would be more interventionist, in truth whoever is elected will seek to avoid any repetition of what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.
These were hugely expensive, enduring military commitments that many Americans feel they can ill afford now.
"The United States is going through an interesting period here," Leon Panetta, the former Defence Secretary and Director of Central Intelligence told the BBC, "and there's no question that there is a certain exhaustion about having confronted all of these challenges during that period and the price we paid. It's reflected not just in the Democratic party but in the Republican party as well."
On free trade also it may be that the choice between Clinton and Trump is not quite as radical as it first appears.
While Mrs Clinton is an ardent advocate of free trade deals, the left of her party has joined the Republicans in arguing that a new treaty signed earlier this year (the Trans-Pacific Partnership) should not be ratified and questioned the need also for a future pact with Europe.
"Separate the bill of particulars from Trump the person," says Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute about free trade, burden sharing among Nato allies or military cuts, "and the reality is, these complaints make sense, and Congress has the constitutional and political power to do something about it."
The likelihood that neither candidate could obtain a clean sweep, winning the White House, Senate and House of Representatives, means they are likely to be limited in their ability to deliver much of their platform.
If, as polls suggest is likely, Mrs Clinton wins the presidency but the Republicans retain the majority in the House, then many predict partisan fighting and gridlock even more bitter than that which has characterised President Obama's second term.
So it's quite likely that either presidential candidate's trade policy could get stymied in Congress.
Talking about Mr Trump's platform on trade to Carlos Gimenez, the Republican mayor of Miami, a city highly dependent on foreign commerce, he said to me: "The good thing about America is that we don't have kings… we have a division of power", noting that Florida's US senators and representatives would protect its interests in Washington.
As for suggestions from the stump by his party's nominee that the US might raise tariffs on some cheap foreign goods or products where American jobs had been outsourced abroad, Mr Gimenez said that erecting such barriers "really doesn't work", adding, "we do need free trade".
That, though, is a viewpoint from a particularly cosmopolitan city and what does seem to be happening, as a long-term trend, is that the US is growing less interested in its global leadership role, as well as in advancing free trade deals, while growing more preoccupied with its domestic policies and divisions.
Mr Panetta told us of his concerns about the US rowing back from its global leadership.
"The United States hoped that others would step up to the plate," he said, referring to the Obama years, but "it didn't happen, and our national security became challenged as a result of that.
"That's something the American people now understand that if the United States does not provide that leadership unfortunately no-one else will."
While Mr Panetta and much of the Washington foreign policy establishment would see Ms Clinton as a far better bet, in terms of exerting a positive role in world affairs, her freedom of action will be limited by new great power realities as well as domestic political constraints.
In recent months Russia has filled the void in Syria, while bolstering ties with a host of other Middle East states.
China, too, is not only catching up fast with the US economically, but is preparing diplomatically and militarily to shut America out of sensitive regions like the South China Sea.
This sense that the US may be slipping in the world of power politics has prompted Mr Trump to suggest higher defence spending and tougher trade policies towards China.
The two candidates present a curious paradox here - with him proposing to spend more on a military he would use less, while Mrs Clinton suggests a more active role for forces continuing to run down under the current administration's plans.
Neither candidate, though, can address frankly the relative change in the international order that results from countries like China or Russia spending heavily on their forces and having a greater will to use them.
Indeed a presidential election, full as it is of paeans to the country's greatness, may be the worst time to discuss the growing limits on its power in a world the foreign policy wonks describe as increasingly "multi-polar".
Seen that way, Mr Trump's insistence that he will not commit the country to more foreign wars, or the suggestion by Mrs Clinton's advisers that her Syria policy would not involve major escalation can be seen as a kind of continuity.
President Obama after all was proud, as he put it, to have brought US soldiers home from two wars and to have placed strict limits on America's involvement in Libya and Syria.

The proposed reduction is more than previously suggested, and is less than half the current £6.70 charge for cars.
Ministers are also seeking views on the introduction of a two-way "free-flow", barrier free charging system on the crossings.
A consultation is being launched on the proposals on Friday.
Transport secretary Chris Grayling said: "The future toll prices announced today will not only guarantee the future and safety of the crossings for generations to come but will also boost the economy whilst offering the best value for money for motorists and the taxpayer."
Baroness Randerson, Liberal Democrat transport spokeswoman and a former AM, said the proposals do "not go far enough".
She said: "Why should people using this bridge to pay for its upkeep when they already pay for road repairs through the tax system, just as users of other motorways do?"
The news was detailed in a letter from Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns and UK Transport Minister John Hayes to AMs and Welsh MPs.
If a two-way "free-flow" charging system is also brought in, it would see the removal of toll barriers, with cameras being used to detect cars crossing the bridges, and tolls would be charged both ways.
It could also mean a toll of £1.50 each way for cars, vans and small buses, and £5 for larger vehicles.
The letter said the consultation would set out both the advantages and disadvantages of introducing such a system, which is already in use to enforce the London congestion charge.
"We understand the importance of the crossings for both the Welsh and English economies, and that they have benefitted both Welsh and English road users for 50 years," the ministers said in the letter.
"We believe that the approach set out in our consultation provides a sustainable approach, and a good deal for both users and the taxpayer in the decades to come."
Under the plans:
Users of the Severn TAG cashless toll system will also see their charges reduced.
The letter said there was no intention to use the tolls for any other purpose other than to support the operation and maintenance of the bridges, and to repay the debt incurred by the UK taxpayer to fix "latent defects on the crossings".
"We can also assure you that the government will monitor toll prices closely with a view to further reductions if possible in future," it said.
Welsh Transport Secretary Ken Skates reiterated the Welsh Government's calls for the tolls to be scrapped once the Severn bridges revert to public ownership.
"We will continue to lobby the UK government for this," he said.
A further 22 people suffered injuries from burns and smoke inhalation from the blaze in the city of Obour, media reports said.
The fire is thought to have started after a gas canister exploded while it was being transported in a lift.
The factory had not obtained a government safety certificate, Egyptian state media reported.
More than 20 fire trucks eventually brought the blaze under control.
Such accidents are relatively common in Egypt. A separate fire at a food market in Alexandria, Egypt's second-largest city, has injured at least 11 people.
The Welsh Premier League club took a 2-1 lead into the first-round second-leg game and made the most of the pressure on the hosts.
Jason Oswell repeated his first-leg scoring efforts in Malta.
And after Thierry Fidjeu-Tazemeta levelled, Matty Owen sealed victory by scoring after his late penalty was saved.
Both teams finished with 10 men, the hosts' Ryan Camilleri seeing red first for his late challenge on Shane Sutton.
The Robins' Matthew Cook followed Camilleri to the sidelines three minutes from the end.
Craig Williams's cross gave Oswell the chance to give Newtown the confidence boost of a crucial opening away goal.
Juan Gill's foul on Oswell to earn Newtown a penalty and after Owen's shot was halted, he made the most of his second chance to herald jubilant scenes among visiting fans and players.

The monarch, who cut a severe figure in black in later life, wore the delicate cream garments in the 1840s, when she was in her 20s.
The stockings, which have Queen Victoria's initials embroidered in red, were sold for £220.
Newcastle auctioneer Anderson & Garland had estimated they would go for £150.
A spokesman said there had been global interest in the undergarments, currently owned by a private collector.
Fred Wyrley-Birch, a specialist at the auction house, said: "When I was shown the stockings by the current owner, I was immediately reminded of a scene in the film The Young Victoria where Prince Albert knelt at Queen Victoria's feet and rolled her silk stockings up her legs.
"It contradicts the image we usually have of Queen Victoria as a rather large elderly lady dressed in black."
Items of the monarch's clothing were distributed to members of the royal household following her death in 1901.
In 2015 a pair of Queen Victoria's bloomers sold for £12,000, while in 2010 a pair of her stockings went for £700.
The UK has regretted "turning its back" on Europe in the past, the PM said, arguing the EU had "helped reconcile" countries and maintain peace.
Was leaving the union a "risk worth taking", Mr Cameron asked.
But ex-London mayor Boris Johnson hit back, saying the EU's "anti-democratic tendencies" was "a force for instability and alienation".
The Vote Leave campaign said: "During the renegotiation the PM said he 'ruled nothing out'. Now he thinks leaving the EU would lead to war. What changed?"
Despite his security warning, Mr Cameron defended his decision to call the referendum, telling the BBC: "You shouldn't try to hold an independent sovereign nation in an organisation against its will."
There are just over six weeks to go until the 23 June referendum which will decide whether Britain remains in or leaves the EU.
This issue covers defence and the extent of Britain's influence in the world
The PM's comments - and a rival speech from Mr Johnson - came as the referendum campaign intensifies, following last week's elections.
Mr Cameron, who was introduced by former Labour foreign secretary David Miliband, argued the EU - with Britain in it - had helped bring together countries that had been "at each others' throats for decades".
He warned the peace and stability Europe has enjoyed in recent years could not be guaranteed, saying leaving risked "the clock being turned back to an age of competing nationalism in Europe".
While Europe has largely been at peace since 1945, Mr Cameron said it was barely two decades since the Bosnian war while, more recently, Russia has been at war with Georgia and Ukraine.
"Can we be so sure that peace and stability on our continent are assured beyond any shadow of doubt? Is that a risk worth taking? I would never be so rash as to make that assumption," he said.
Mr Cameron argued "isolationism has never served this country well".
He ranked 2016 alongside other major events in European history, including the Spanish Armada in 1588, the battles of Blenheim and Waterloo in 1704 and 1815 respectively, the two world wars, as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall.
"The truth is this: what happens in our neighbourhood matters to Britain," the PM added.
"That was true in 1914, in 1940 and in 1989. Or, you could add 1588, 1704 and 1815... And if things go wrong in Europe, let's not pretend we can be immune from the consequences."
Vote Leave said Nato, not the EU, kept the UK safe and accused Downing Street of "losing the plot".
It pointed to analysis by the Historians for Britain group, which described the suggestion the EU had prevented wars as "groundless" and "historically illiterate".
In his own speech on Europe, Mr Johnson said the PM's argument "grossly underestimates the way Europe has changed" as well as the role of Nato.
He said the EU itself and its "anti-democratic tendencies" were in fact "a force for instability and alienation".
It comes after former MI6 boss Sir John Sawers warned leaving the EU would make the UK "less safe".
He said the UK would be shut out of decisions on the "crucial" issue of data sharing.
However, Justice Secretary Michael Gove - who backs the campaign for the UK to leave the EU - said Sir John was "flat wrong".
Councillor Huw George confirmed an extraordinary meeting has been called for 26 November.
The BBC understands the consultation on Tasker Milward and Sir Thomas Picton schools in Haverfordwest may be stopped due to fears of a legal challenge.
The council's director for children and schools will offer to restart the consultation for both separately.
The charity that owns the Tasker Milward site had been unhappy with plans to merge the schools.
There were plans to open a new Welsh-medium comprehensive on the Sir Thomas Picton site.
Seven opposition candidates are vying against President Alpha Conde, who is hoping to win a second term following his 2010 election, which saw a transition from military to civilian rule.
Guinea, the world's largest bauxite producer, gained independence from France in 1958 under first president Ahmed Sekou Toure, who crushed political opposition and ruled until his death in 1984.
After Sekou Toure's death, Lansana Conte seized power and ruled until his death in December 2008, followed by a military junta and a provisional government that supervised the transition to civilian rule in 2010.
President Conde is hoping to fend off a challenge by his main rival, opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo.
It's the first presidential election since the vast mineral-rich country was hit by an Ebola outbreak that killed over 2,000 people.
The incumbent, Alpha Conde, is aged 77 and hails from the Malinke ethnic group, which makes up 35% of the population.
In 2013's parliamentary elections, his ruling Rally of the Guinean People (RPG) secured 53 seats in the 114-member parliament. The main opposition party had 37 seats, while the rest went to smaller parties.
The run-up to that election was hit by violence, as well as ethnic and religious tension.
In July 2011, President Conde survived an assassination attempt when his home was bombarded by rockets. He was unhurt and suggested the attack was masterminded by rogue army officers.
In pre-poll campaigning, Mr Conde has promised to consolidate stability and social unity, and to promote development.
Main challenger Cellou Diallo, 63, came second in the 2010 presidential elections. A trained economist, he was the prime minister from 2004 to 2006 under President Lansana Conte.
He hails from the Peul ethnic group (sometimes referred to as Fulani), to which 40% of Guineans belong, a community he has repeatedly accused President Conde of sidelining.
Yet ironically, Mr Diallo has formed an alliance with the party of former military junta leader Moussa Dadis Camara, whose soldiers apparently targeted ethnic Peul, killing over 150 protestors at a stadium in 2009. Mr Camara has been indicted for the massacre.
Mr Diallo is the candidate of the Union of Democratic Forces of Guinea (UFDG), and has pledged to prioritise jobs for young people and to give all Guineans "access to health care, decent housing, water, electricity, safety, and justice".
The other candidates are:
Sidya Toure of the Union of Republican Forces
Papa Koly Kourouma of the Generation for Reconciliation, Unity, and Prosperity
Georges Gandhi Faraguet of the Guinean Union for Democracy and Development
Dr Faya Millimouno of the Liberal Bloc
Lansana Kouyate of the Hope Party for National Development, and
Marie Madeleine Dioubate of the Guinean Green Party, the only female candidate.
Mr Conde is likely to be re-elected, given that the opposition has failed to unite under one candidate. He is favoured to win despite Guinea's prolonged battle with Ebola and a slump in metal prices that has stifled economic growth.
President Conde has claimed credit for preserving the country's democratic achievement since his election and keeping the military out of politics.
He initially played down the Ebola outbreak which struck West Africa in 2014, but has since been praised for government efforts aimed at combating the disease.
Mr Conde's main rival has accused him of marginalizing the Peul ethnic group and of sowing division and poverty.
Opposition calls for the poll to be postponed due to alleged anomalies in the country's electoral roll have been rejected by Guinea's National Electoral Commission.
The opposition has said that some voters may be disenfranchised as they have not yet received their voter ID cards.
There has been some pre-election violence. Supporters of the two main candidates clashed in the north-western town of Koundara on 21 September. The authorities imposed a curfew in the country's second largest city of Nzerekore, a stronghold of Mr Camara, after violence broke out on 5 October during a campaign visit by President Conde. At least one person was killed and dozens injured.
Interior Minister Mahmoud Cisse has threatened to implement a controversial public order law "to its full extent" to combat electoral violence.
The EU Electoral Observation Mission in Guinea, which will be monitoring the poll, has condemned the violence.

"I will walk you down a block, Mr Trump, and I guarantee you won't get shot," he said on CNN.
The rapper made headlines after he said he was mistreated by police officers while reporting an armed robbery.
The invitation comes after Mr Trump said he had the solution to combat Chicago's soaring murder rate.
He did not specify how he would solve the problem but he promised to improve African American lives across the US.
"Look, it is a disaster the way African Americans are living… We'll get rid of the crime. You'll be able to walk down the street without getting shot. Right now, you walk down the street, you get shot."
Then he sparked controversy on Saturday after he apparently used the murder of NBA star Dwyane Wade's cousin to court African-American voters.
The professional basketball star's cousin, Nykea Aldridge, was fatally shot while pushing her baby in a pram on the South Side.
The 32-year-old woman was not the intended target, police said.
Mr Trump weighed in on the high-profile murder, tweeting: "Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!"
Critics lashed out against the New York billionaire for trying to leverage the murder as a reason African-Americans should vote for him and for spelling the Chicago Bull's name wrong in his initial tweet. He later corrected it.
Senator Tim Kaine, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's running mate, called out Mr Trump for politicising the murder.
"We ought to be extending our sympathy to the family - that's the only reaction that is appropriate right now, and maybe a sadness about this gun violence issue, which we know is complicated," Mr Kaine said.
Hours later, Mr Trump tweeted his condolences for the basketball star's family.
An uptick in shootings in Chicago culminated with the death of Wade's cousin last week, drawing national attention to the city's soaring murder rate.
The city of 2.7 million has more shootings and murders than any other US city, according to FBI and Chicago police data.
On Saturday, Rhymefest, whose real name is Che Smith, tweeted his disgust with Chicago police after he tried to report a robbery in which he was held at gunpoint.
The Grammy award-winning artist posted a video of himself arguing with officers at the front desk.
The Chicago native told CNN on Monday he did receive an apology from the police, but that law enforcement needed to work with its communities to quell the rise in violence.
Rhymefest also addressed Mr Trump's controversial tweets, challenging the Republican nominee to come to Chicago to see that it is not just a city known for its gun violence.
The Newcastle United owner is being sued by finance expert Jeffrey Blue at London's High Court.
He claims Mr Ashley often held meetings in pubs, and at one time promised to pay him £15m if he managed to increase Sports Direct's share price to £8.
He said the billionaire only paid him £1m. Mr Ashley disputes the claim.
Mr Justice Leggatt was told the dispute between Mr Blue and Mr Ashley related to an alleged conversation in a London pub called the Horse & Groom in 2013.
Jeffrey Chapman QC, who is leading Mr Blue's legal team, told the judge Mr Ashley's business practices flew in the face of "business orthodoxy".
Mr Blue said he had attended several senior management meetings at another pub, the Green Dragon in Alfreton, Derbyshire.
He said: "These meetings were like no other senior management meeting I had ever attended in all my years of investment banking experience."
Describing it as a "pub lock-in" where fish and chips and kebabs would be brought in after closing time, he said: "On one such evening, in front of his senior management team, Mr Ashley challenged a young Polish analyst in my team, Pawel Pawlowski, to a drinking competition.
"Mr Ashley and Pawel would drink pints of lager, with vodka 'chasers' between each pint, and the first to leave the bar area for whatever reason was declared the loser.
"After approximately 12 pints and chasers Pawel apologised profusely and had to excuse himself.
"Mr Ashley then vomited into the fireplace located in the centre of the bar, to huge applause from his senior management team."
Mr Blue said he first met Mr Ashley while working for Merrill Lynch in 2006.
"Mr Ashley was like no other client that anyone at Merrill Lynch had ever come across," he said.
"By way of example, his ability to express boredom and frustration during client meetings knew no limits, including various episodes where he would lie underneath meeting room tables to 'have a nap'."
David Cavender QC, who leads Mr Ashley's legal team, told the judge Mr Blue's claim was an "opportunistic try on".
The hearing continues.
Justin Ross Harris wept as his lawyer argued the tragedy in Georgia two years ago was due to a change of routine.
Mr Harris forgot Cooper was in the back seat of his SUV that morning because he had usually dropped him off at nursery by that time, the court heard.
On Monday, the prosecution said the defendant plotted to kill his son.
He planned the tragedy because he wanted to leave the family to continue affairs with other women, the court heard.
But the defence team attempted to dispel that notion while admitting the death of the 22-month-old toddler was the father's fault.
"Ross Harris is responsible for his child's death. It's his fault, no doubt about it," Maddox Kilgore told the jury in his opening statement.
"What you're going to see here at this trial is that being responsible is not the same thing as being a criminal."
Cooper died after being left for seven hours in the vehicle as it was parked outside his father's place of work, a Home Depot office on the outskirts of Atlanta.
Mr Harris told police he had taken his son to breakfast and given him a kiss while putting him into the back of the car afterwards. But then he drove to work and forgot he was still in the car.
It was a break of the routine to take him to breakfast - usually he ate after taking his son to nursery.
As the events that day were related in court, the defendant dabbed his eyes with a tissue.
Mr Kilgore said: "His sexual behaviour isn't some kind of motive to murder the person he loved more than anyone in the world."
The children left behind in hot cars
On the contrary, the defendant was planning a future with his family and looking to move to a bigger home, the court was told.
A video shown to the court on Tuesday depicts Mr Harris in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, pacing up and down and screaming.
One police officer gave evidence to say Mr Harris snapped when police asked him to stop using his mobile phone, and complained when handcuffed in the police car.
While the prosecution team argued the evidence indicated that Mr Harris was unemotional, the defence lawyers said it showed he was clearly distressed by what had happened.
Mr Harris is charged with malice murder and with sending sexually explicit text messages and photos to an underage girl.
The case continues.
The 28-year-old victim was shot in the head, arm, chest and leg during the attack in a house at Distillery Court at about 09:45 BST on Friday.
Sources told the BBC that the injured man was "extremely lucky to be alive".
The officer leading the investigation, Det Insp Chris Wilson, said: "The victim is undergoing surgery and we believe he will pull through."
He said police believed two people were involved in carrying out the attack.
A neighbour who went to the victim's aid told the BBC that the injured man managed to stagger outside his house.
He was then taken to hospital by ambulance.
The attackers escaped towards the Grosvenor Road and police have appealed for information about a man seen running along Distillery Street, onto the Grosvenor Road and into Leeson Street shortly after the shooting.
"He was well-groomed with a ginger beard and was wearing a blue tracksuit with the hood up, a hat and leather gloves," Mr Wilson said.
"Although we are following a number of lines of enquiry in this investigation, we are keeping an open mind as to a motive," the investigating officer added.
Condemning the attack, the MP for the area, Sinn Féin's Paul Maskey, said those responsible needed to be taken off the streets.
SDLP councillor Tim Attwood said: "This act of violence is beneath contempt.
"This can only happen if anyone with information comes forward to the police. We cannot allow the threat of violence to continue to plague the streets of west Belfast."
Some £200m of fivers are now dispensed a month, following a campaign to urge more banks to load the notes into ATMs.
About one in eight ATMs operated by UK banks and building societies now hold fivers.
The Bank argued that there was a "strong business case" for banks to load ATMs with £5 notes.
It also said that such a move would be popular with consumers, as many found that these notes were rarely in circulation for long.
The Bank set an aim to raise the proportion of £5 notes dispensed from ATMs from 0.2% of the total value of ATM outflows in mid-2010, to 1.2%.
The latest figures show that this proportion has risen to 1.5%, after changes by ATM operators - including physical and software changes to the cash machines.
By March 2012, over 5,000 ATMs were dispensing £5 notes, with a wide geographical spread, compared with 670 in 2009.
"I am delighted that this initiative has been so successful. A key objective for the Bank is to maintain public confidence in the currency, by meeting demand with good-quality genuine banknotes that the public can use with confidence," said Bank of England governor, Sir Mervyn King.
The Bank also aimed to increase the quality of fivers in circulation, after consumers complained that many were shabby and torn.
In 2012, a total of £4bn in fivers is expected to enter circulation, compared with just over £2bn in fivers in 2010 - through ATMs, bank branches and other sources.
The banks and building societies taking part in the ATM initiative were Bank of Ireland ATMs at Post Office locations, Barclays, The Co-operative Bank, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide Building Society, Royal Bank of Scotland (including ATMs operated on behalf of Tesco Bank), Sainsbury's Bank, Santander and Yorkshire Bank.
In addition a number of independent ATM operators have started to dispense £5 notes from ATMs such as the Bank Machine, which has set up several hundred £5-only ATMs since 2008.
"Cash is the payment method that best helps the British public budget, and a greater spread of smaller denominations like fivers helps us keep an even closer eye on our spending," said Ron Delnevo, managing director of Bank Machine. | A church in Nigeria that collapsed last Saturday killing dozens of people had multiple structural faults and no building permit, regulators say.

A lawyer for the family of victim Jacqueline Morton said Harry Clarke, 58, was medically unfit to drive.
Dana Forbes said Mr Clarke should have disclosed his history of blackouts.
She also said that better checks from doctors, and Mr Clarke's current and past employers, could have shown he was unfit to drive a bin lorry.
The fatal accident inquiry (FAI), which is drawing to a close at Glasgow Sheriff Court, is looking at the health of Mr Clarke, the bin lorry and its route.
It has already heard that Mr Clarke was unconscious at the wheel when the Glasgow City Council bin lorry veered out of control in Queen Street on 22 December last year.
Before it crashed into the side of the Millennium Hotel in George Square, the lorry had killed six people and injured 15 others.
The FAI has heard that Mr Clarke had suffered blackouts before - one of which was at the wheel of a bus in 2010.
He did not fully disclose this incident to his own doctors, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) or on application forms or medical declarations for council jobs.
All represented parties are making closing submissions to the inquiry in a bid to raise issues they feel should be highlighted in Sheriff John Beckett's report.
In her closing submission on Wednesday, Ms Forbes, who is standing in for Dorothy Bain QC, said the overarching question of the inquiry was: "Why was Mr Clarke driving the bin lorry for the council on the day of the crash?"
She said he was unfit to hold an LGV licence as he had suffered from fainting episodes.
The advocate said Mr Clarke could have prevented the deaths himself by disclosing his medical history at various points, or by following DVLA guidelines.
She said he had "persistently and deliberately lied" about his health, even after the crash and shown beforehand "reckless indifference" and a "complete disregard for public safety".
Ms Forbes said that if Mr Clarke's blackout at the wheel of a bus in April 2010 had been handled differently by doctors, the crash also may have been prevented.
She said Dr Kenneth Lyons, the medical adviser to First Bus, could have taken more precautions, as could Mr Clarke's GP Dr John Langan.
She also said a difference could have been made had First Bus provided an accurate reference to Glasgow City Council over Mr Clarke's health and sickness record.
The advocate further said that Glasgow City Council could have implemented an "adequate system of recruitment" for "safety critical roles" such as a bin lorry driver.
Finishing her statement, Ms Forbes said: "It is submitted the decision not to bring a prosecution against Mr Clarke is the wrong decision and has resulted in the impact of the death of Jacqueline Morton being all the more difficult for her family.
"Where there has been a breach of criminal law by an individual, and it is in the public interest to prosecute, the Crown should bring criminal proceedings."
The FAI also heard a closing submission from Ronald Conway, the lawyer for the bereaved Tait family.
He said that more stringent approaches by Dr Lyons and Dr Langan, after Mr Clarke's 2010 blackout, could have "unravelled" his "deception" over this incident.
The lawyer also asserted that the current system for approving licences for driving lorries was "not fit for purpose" and it would be an improvement to include access to GP records.
He described the pace of change at the DVLA as "glacial" and said the inquiry report could call for urgent consultation and expose "complacency".
Mr Conway said it was "simply baffling" that the DVLA had given Mr Clarke his licences back earlier this year, just months after the bin lorry crash, with no medical examination or cross-checking of his medical records.
He said this showed the weakness of system.
The lawyer concluded his submission by stating: "The system is failing the public on a truly disturbing scale."
The inquiry continues. | The six deaths in the Glasgow bin lorry crash could have been avoided had proper precautions been taken over the driver's health, an inquiry has heard. | 34,063,283 | 915 | 34 | false |
The latest case involved a whooper swan found in Nenagh.
It follows three previous cases in whooper swans this year, with two cases in Eurasian wigeons in December.
The first case in Northern Ireland - a swan found dead near Lough Beg, County Londonderry - was confirmed on Thursday.
In December, the Irish Department of Agriculture activated regulations requiring all poultry and captive birds to be kept within a secure building amid concerns over bird flu.
The public is advised not to handle dead or sick birds.
Avian influenza is a contagious disease that affects birds, including poultry: It can spread quickly, often proving fatal.
It can occur in both wild and farmed birds, but the threat to the public is said to be very low.
Some of them were tied up and raped at gun or knife point, as their families and children watched, it added.
HRW blamed most of the rapes on Imbonerakure, the youth wing of the ruling party, and the security forces.
Burundi's government described the allegations as "falsehoods".
Imbonerakure played a key role in helping President Pierre Nkurunziza remain in power following his decision in April 2015 to seek re-election.
He survived a coup attempt and mass protests and won subsequent elections.
At least 439 people were killed and 240,000 fled to neighbouring states during the unrest, according to the UN.
HRW said that 323 cases of rape or sexual assault, affecting 264 women and 59 girls, were reported from May to September 2015.
It has interviewed more than 70 survivors who have fled to a refugee camp in Tanzania.
"In a pattern of abuse in many locations and in several provinces, men armed with guns, sticks, or knives have raped women during attacks on their homes, most often at night," HRW said in a report.
"Many of the women have suffered long-term physical and psychological consequences," it added.
HRW quoted a 36-year-old survivor as saying: "I was held by the arms and legs. [An attacker] said: 'Let's kill her, she is an [opposition National Liberation Forces] FNL wife' as they raped me."
Other rape cases documented by HRW included:
"Women said that if the man wanted by the attackers was not there, they would demand to know his whereabouts and would sometimes tell the victim that they were raping her because they could not find the man," HRW said.
"In nine cases, women said the men had fled before the rape took place, or had begun habitually sleeping elsewhere because of threats," it added.
Presidential spokesman Willy Nyamitwe said HRW had damaged its credibility through the "publication of falsehoods".
"Imbonerakure is not a gang of rapists," he added.
Ruth Davidson and Nicola Sturgeon both demanded apologies from each other while trading blows in parliament.
The government has applied for an extension to the deadline for delivering EU subsidies to farmers.
Tory leader Ms Davidson said the first minister had "refused" to tell MSPs the truth about talks with the European Commission about Friday's deadline.
However Ms Sturgeon insisted she had been clear - and said the Conservatives should "apologise to the people of Scotland" for not securing extra funding in the confidence and supply deal with the DUP at Westminster.
Rural Affairs Secretary Fergus Ewing has confirmed that the government is set to "fall short" of its target of having 95% of Common Agricultural Policy payments completed by midnight on Friday.
The Scottish government has applied for an extension to the deadline, and could face financial penalties if this is not granted as it forecasts of having only 90% of payments made in time. The European Commission is yet to respond.
An extension was granted in 2016, after problems with a new £178m IT system - something which Audit Scotland says still presents "significant risks and costs for the Scottish government".
Ms Sturgeon has apologised to farmers for "failures" in the system, but has come under fire from the Scottish Conservatives after details about the latest application emerged only after the first minister was pressed on the matter at Holyrood.
Ms Davidson said: "Last week I asked the First Minister three times whether her government had contacted the European Commission to seek an extension to the deadline on farm payments and three times she refused to answer.
"There is a reason why I'm raising this again today, it's because there is a principle at stake about the conduct of ministers in this parliament and about the transparency of this government.
"I asked the first minister a simple question in this chamber last week and she refused to tell this parliament what she knew to be the truth."
Ms Sturgeon replied: "Last week I said we were discussing with the European Commission contingencies around this issue - that is exactly what we we're doing. It is what we continue to do.
"Seeking an extension in case we require that extension is exactly that - a contingency."
Continuing her attack, Ms Davidson said it took journalists contacting the European Commission for the "facts to come out".
She said: "Last week the first minister had to apologise to farmers over messing up their payments again. But now she owes the parliament an apology for not being straight about it."
Ms Sturgeon shot back that it was the Conservatives who should apologise, over her government's claim that Scotland is due extra funding in light of the Tory-DUP deal at Westminster, and over the latest round of votes on amendments to the Queen's speech.
She said: "I think there is an apology due to the people of Scotland this week and it is an apology from Ruth Davidson for allowing her MPs in Westminster to do two things.
"Firstly, allowing them to sit back while Scotland was denied the same extra funding that went to Northern Ireland and secondly an apology for being the MPs in the House of Commons last night that voted to block a pay rise for public-sector workers. Perhaps that is the apology people in Scotland want to see."
Elsewhere in the session, Labour leader Kezia Dugdale focused on education, citing figures from the Scottish Parliament's information centre showing reduced spending per pupil in Scottish schools.
She said schools needed "cold, hard cash", adding: "Until the first minister commits more funding to our schools using the powers of this Parliament, her promise that education is her top priority is utterly meaningless."
The first minister said Ms Dugdale was "downright wrong" about school funding, citing the £750m attainment fund and £120m going directly to head teachers.
She said: "This government is taking tough action to reform our education system, to get more powers into the hands of headteachers and teachers and, crucially, to get more resources into their hands."
Green co-convener Patrick Harvie led his questions on poverty, urging the first minister to "be bold" and keep the door open to using Holyrood's powers to top-up child benefit.
Ms Sturgeon said the Child Poverty Bill would be bold, aid said "the door is not closed to anything that's being suggested".
Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie listed issues facing the Scottish government, including the CAP payment delays, concerns the economy could slip into recession and problems facing police and nurses.
Ms Sturgeon responded: "That proves that Willie Rennie lives in a wee world of his own most of the time. Sometimes it sounds like quite a fun one, so maybe I will join it one day and take some of whatever he is on."
The Scottish Parliament has now gone into recess for the summer, with MSPs returning to Holyrood in September.
Relate Lincolnshire will shut remaining centres on Wednesday after losing its ??100,000 grant from the county council.
A trustee of the charity said the service had provided vital support to families for 53 years.
Lincolnshire County Council said it had to "prioritise frontline services" in financial difficulties.
Centres in Sleaford, Spilsby, Grantham, Mablethorpe, Boston, Market Rasen, Gainsborough, Grimsby and Scunthorpe will close on Wednesday. Lincoln has already closed.
County councillor Marianne Overton, who has been with the charity for 20 years, said: "It's deeply upsetting and deeply shocking.
"This kind of work has been critical for young children, but also for families to make sure they can survive and do well and can contribute positively to our society."
Ms Overton said that Relate Lincolnshire was in a "frontline position where we will help people right at the outset and really make a difference to their lives".
Andrew McLean, children's services manager at the county council, said: "In the difficult financial climate we have to prioritise other essential, frontline services".
He said the authority has a separate contract with Relate for counselling for families with children with disabilities, which would continue.
Chris Sherwood, chief executive at National Relate, said: "We would like to reassure current clients that Relate as a national charity is committed to delivering services to people in the Lincolnshire area, and will be working to re-establish services as quickly as possible."
He said in the "short interruption in services" clients could receive telephone and email counselling.
The organisation hopes to provide alternative services in Lincolnshire in the future.
The 36-year-old joined the Mariners from Portsmouth in July 2016 and played 26 games in the 2016-17 season.
He suffered a number of injury problems during the campaign, which he told the club website was "one of the most difficult" of his career.
His only Grimsby goal so far came in a 2-0 win over Morecambe on the opening day of the season.
Researchers found the "social, economic and political contexts of the 1980s" may have caused an increase in drug deaths in the following years.
The new analysis was carried out by NHS Health Scotland and Glasgow University.
The news comes as the Scottish government convenes a meeting of health leaders to discuss future drugs policy.
The research found a cohort within those born between 1960 and 1980, the group known as "Generation X", who had an increased risk of drug-related death from 1990 onwards.
They also found links to gender and deprivation - young men in poor neighbourhoods were found to be 10 times as likely to die from drugs as women of the same age from a more affluent area.
Report author Dr Jon Minton, a quantitative research associate at Glasgow University, said similar patterns had previously been reported about the risk of suicide in deprived areas.
His analysis was "consistent with the hypothesis that economic and other policy decisions during the 1980s created rising income inequality, the erosion of hope amongst those who were least resilient and able to adjust, and resulted in a delayed negative health impact".
He said: "The same kind of pattern we have observed and reported on previously regarding the risk of suicide in vulnerable cohorts in deprived areas in Scotland is repeated, and even more clearly visible, when looking at trends in drug-related death risk.
"For people born in 1960s and 70s, the risk of drug-related deaths throughout the life course was much increased, and gender and area inequalities in these risks increased even more.
"The similarity in trends in both suicide and drug-related deaths suggests a common underlying cause."
Drug deaths in Scotland hit a record high in 2015 with 706 people listed as having died as a result of drug abuse that year. A similar pattern occurred elsewhere in the UK.
The number has been steadily increasing since 1995, when 426 deaths were recorded, and a rising number of deaths have been among older age groups - 73% of the 2015 deaths were of people aged over 35, while the number of those aged under 24 fell.
Dr Andrew Fraser of NHS Health Scotland said the research suggested that the continued increase in drug-related deaths was "likely to be the result of a cohort of people who are at higher risk".
He said: "The full impact of excess mortality in these cohorts with high drug-related deaths is unlikely to be known for some time. It already represents the deaths of hundreds of people prematurely.
"We are hopeful that the findings will be useful in informing current and future policy to help prevent the creation of further cohorts at greater risk of drug-related deaths in Scotland."
The Commission argues that the test, introduced in 2004, discriminates against EU migrants, by setting extra conditions for certain social benefits.
But the EU advocate general said such unequal treatment was justified by the UK's need to protect the state budget.
Child benefit is among the payments affected by the right to reside test.
The UK's governing Conservatives - pushing for tighter rules on EU migrant benefits - welcomed the lawyer's opinion.
The European Court of Justice - the EU's top court - will now consider the advocate general's opinion before making a judgment on the case.
In most cases the Luxembourg judges rule in line with that opinion, and ECJ rulings are binding throughout the 28-nation EU.
The right to reside test came in after EU enlargement in 2004 caused an influx of migrants to the UK from Eastern Europe.
Net migration into the UK currently stands at a record high, reaching 330,000 in the year to March.
UK Home Secretary Theresa May told the Conservative Party conference on Tuesday that such a level of immigration undermined social cohesion and made it "difficult" for key services to cope.
High migration bad for society - May
Q&A: What benefits can EU migrants get?
Tuesday's legal opinion from the Luxembourg court is important for Prime Minister David Cameron because of his renegotiation of the UK's EU membership terms.
"This is very welcome news for Britain's drive to combat benefits tourism. If adopted by the court it bodes very well for David Cameron's renegotiation programme," said Anthea McIntyre, Conservative spokesperson on employment in the European Parliament.
The right to further restrict EU migrants' access to social benefits is a key part of the Conservatives' renegotiation, ahead of the UK's in-out referendum on EU membership. The vote is set to take place before the end of 2017.
But that push is opposed by some EU member states, especially Poland. It tops the list for foreign nationals in the UK, accounting for 13% of them, the Migration Observatory in Oxford reports.
The UK Conservatives insist that migrants should pay sufficient contributions before being entitled to state benefits.
The right-to-reside test is additional to the UK's habitual residence test which, according to the Commission, complies with EU law.
Migrants have to pass the habitual residence test to qualify for means-tested benefits, and it requires them to prove real job prospects and a genuine connection to the UK.
An EU migrant who qualifies under the right-to-reside test can claim housing benefit, council tax benefit, child tax credit and child benefit.
The migrant has to be economically active or able to support themselves and their family.
An October 2013 study found that jobless EU migrants formed only a very small share - below 5% - of those claiming social benefits in EU member states.
One of the most contentious issues has been UK child support payments to migrants whose children remain in their country of origin.
Advocate General Pedro Cruz Villalon advised the ECJ to dismiss the Commission's case against the UK on Tuesday.
He concluded that UK legislation "does not impose any condition additional to that of habitual residence, but rather examines the lawfulness of that residence under EU law, in connection with the grant of specific social benefits".
The UK's checks on applicants for certain benefits were proportionate, he said.
UKIP, which advocates the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, said the step was "useful in the short term".
But the party's employment spokeswoman Jane Collins argued that the UK "should not be relying on a foreign court to make these decisions for us".
C&A Marketing, which produces Polaroid cameras, said GoPro had infringed a US design patent it was granted in May.
Both companies have recently released compact, cube-shaped video cameras.
One expert told the BBC that GoPro may have to find similar designs in the public domain that predated Polaroid's patent to defend its product.
"Design patents are a series of drawings with a very brief description of what the pictures show," said chartered patent attorney Rob Jackson.
"It's all about protecting an aesthetic. Just because a design is simple doesn't mean it can't be protected. C&A Marketing will be trying to show that GoPro's product is too similar to its design.
"GoPro's lawyers will no doubt be looking for prior art that is out there in the public domain, to show that the Polaroid camera was not a new design."
The Polaroid Cube was released in 2014, months before rival GoPro Session. Both cameras have a lens on one face, with a record button on another.
C&A Marketing has asked the court for damages including all of GoPro's profit from the Session camera.
In a statement, C&A Marketing said: "We invested considerable resources in the design and development of a unique product with the Polaroid Cube.
"It has rounded edges, a slightly recessed lens and a single button on top - all important design elements, all used as well by GoPro for its Hero 4 Session."
GoPro said: "In addition to developing the Hero 4 Session long before a competitor announced its product or filed for a patent, the Hero 4 does not infringe the competitor's patent because its overall design is not similar and does not include the specific features that are required by the competitor's patent."
Ilkeston station was initially given the go-ahead in 2013 and had been expected to be in operation by now.
Great crested newts, which are protected by law, were found at the site in the winter halting work while they were moved elsewhere.
Derbyshire County Council said the station should open next year.
It said it had to seek new planning permission following advice from the Environment Agency over flooding concerns.
To keep on budget the design had to be changed. That included shortening the platforms.
Ilkeston is one of the largest towns in the UK without a railway station.
The town once had three stations but the last one closed in 1967 as a result of the Beeching Report, published in 1963.
The new facility, part-funded from the government's New Station Fund, will link Ilkeston with Nottingham, Chesterfield and Sheffield.
James Gillespie's High School said the immunisations would be carried out on 12 October.
The school told parents it had been informed "too late" to take any preventative measures.
NHS Lothian said the case at the school was part of a wider increase in measles in the area.
In a letter to parents of pupils at the school, business manager David Anderson said: "Unfortunately by the time we are informed of an infection it is too late to apply preventative measures for the current outbreak.
"However, we are trying to arrange immunisation on Wednesday, 12 October, for vulnerable staff and students to protect against future outbreaks.
"NHS Scotland will provide us with details of students who they believe have not had the full course of vaccinations and we will aim to target those students and give them further information and consent forms to take home."
A spokesman for City of Edinburgh Council said: "In line with the guidance of NHS Lothian letters have been issued to parents advising of the situation and including facts on measles vaccinations."
The MMR immunisation programme prevents against measles with the first dose given soon after a child's first birthday and the second dose before they go to school.
The NHS said some people were at greater risk of complications if they contracted measles, including pregnant women, babies under 12 months of age and people who have weakened immune systems.
The former US spy agency contractor will work for a major private website in Russia, where he was granted asylum after fleeing the United States.
"Edward starts work in November," his lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.
Mr Snowden, 30, fled to Russia in June after leaking details of far-reaching US telephone espionage.
Mr Kucherena would not disclose which site has employed Mr Snowden, citing security concerns.
However, Mr Snowden had a very public job offer earlier this year from the head of VKontakte, a popular social networking site seen as a rival to Facebook.
Pavel Durov, who founded VKontakte in 2006, invited Mr Snowden through a post on his own webpage to join the company's St Petersburg headquarters to work on data protection.
Little has been heard of Mr Snowden's private life in Russia, where he has lived since being granted temporary asylum in August.
Leaks from the former intelligence analyst have rocked the US government, revealing an extensive programme of espionage that covered China, Russia and Western allies including Germany and Brazil. The US wants him extradited to face trial on criminal charges.
Mr Snowden spent more than a month in a hotel at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport before being allowed into the country.
It is unclear whether he remains in Moscow, though tabloid pictures of the former contractor occasionally surface.
A Russian website, Life News, this week published a smartphone picture it said was purchased from a reader for 100,000 rubles (£1,943), purporting to show Mr Snowden taking a boat trip down the Moscow River through the city's centre. Mr Snowden was without his trademark glasses but wearing a red shirt and cream-coloured cap; the photo's background includes Moscow's landmark Christ the Saviour cathedral.
In an accompanying interview, Mr Kucherena told Life News that Mr Snowden was learning to speak Russian and had visited the Kremlin and other museums and cities in the country.
"He's already gone a pretty long way, in terms of Russian words, in terms of knowledge of our culture...
"For the time being, given his interest in Russia, given the attitude of Russians towards him ... given the love for him, he's receiving a fair amount of correspondence, and I don't think he has any desire to leave for another country at the moment," Mr Kucherena said.
The lawyer did not disclose where Mr Snowden is living but said he will work in information technology at "our country's largest website".
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview recently that Mr Snowden could "feel safe" in Russia, though he told the Associated Press news agency that he found him "a strange guy".
VKontakte has itself come under pressure from the Russian government, as legislators try to gain more control over what is said online. Mr Durov's residence and VKontakte headquarters were both raided by police earlier this year, ostensibly in a traffic accident investigation.
The site has nearly 80 million users, according to industry researcher Comscore, including about 47 million inside Russia, and is controversial for allowing users access to pirated music and video content.

"It's hard to find the words. We have witnessed greatness, we have witnessed someone who had a dream to come and deliver on the world stage. People love her, they really do, she is by far one of the most loved athletes around. I am honoured to have witnessed this."
In one of the iconic moments of the London Games, the woman long anointed as the face of the Games fulfilled her destiny with a series of brilliant personal bests that left her rivals helpless.
Ennis knew she was almost certain of the title going into Saturday evening's final event, and she delivered with two minutes 8.65secs in the 800m.
The 26-year-old's total of 6,955 points was a huge 306 points ahead of Germany's Lilli Schwarzkopf in silver and 327 clear of world champion Tatyana Chernova in bronze.
"I honestly can't believe it after all the hard work and after the disappointment in Beijing 2008," said Ennis.
"I am just so happy. I want to thank everyone who has supported me, they have been amazing. I am so thankful that everyone has helped me all this way. I just had to give it everything at the end. I just wanted to make sure I gave them something and brought it all home.
"I told myself at the start that I'm only going to have one moment to do this in front of a crowd in London and I just wanted to give them a good show."
Having set three personal bests in the first six events, Ennis was in relentless mood in a two-lap coronation that brought the 80,000 people present to a deafening crescendo.
She went off hard, led at the bell and was overtaken by Chernova on the back straight only to kick on and storm down the home straight to victory.
Twelve years on from Denise Lewis's heptathlon gold in Sydney, the Sheffield-born athlete somehow handled the enormous weight of expectation to produce her best ever competition when it mattered most.
Ennis had delivered in style during the morning session, producing a brilliant long jump under great pressure and a javelin personal best to lead by 188 points with just the 800m to go.
She had been in early difficulty with a first-round jump of just 5.95m, significantly down on her rival Chernova's 6.54m.

But with the sort of support that multi-eventers can normally only dream of, she jumped 6.40m in the second round and then 6.48m in the third.
It meant she carried a 258-point cushion into the penultimate event, better than she had in beating much of the same field in taking European gold in Barcelona two summers ago.
Ennis has worked hard on her javelin with former GB international Mick Hill, and that dedication paid off when she produced a PB of 47.49m in the third round.
She will go down in British sporting history with this result, and her smiles of disbelief and joy after crossing the line were mirrored around the heaving stands of the Olympic Stadium.
The Nottingham fighter started faster but his Danish rival, who beat Froch in Denmark in 2010, found his feet in the middle rounds.
But Froch, 35, kept his head and marginally had the better of some barbaric rounds down the stretch.
Froch took a unanimous decision, winning 118-10, 116-12 and 115-113 on the three judges' scorecards.
"It was an absolutely sensational fight, we will never see that again. I thought the referee was about to step in at one point but Froch dug deep.
"Both had to dig deep, you never thought Kessler was going to come back after those first three rounds but he did and then Carl had to recover after Kessler had a good spell.
"Froch was second to none. In the first round you thought Carl was on top and then Kessler found something forcing Carl to dig deep.
"But whenever questions were asked of Carl he found the answers."
"It feels really good," Froch said. "The only thing that feels bad is that I have had to beat such a real gentleman, a real warrior and real nice man.
"He did hurt me a couple of times; I think everybody saw that," he told Sky Sports. "But I hurt him a little bit more and I thought I deserved the win. I thought it was unanimously my fight.
"I was close to getting the stoppage towards the end but, when I went in for the finish, what did he do? He fought back with a couple of big, hard shots. Big respect to him."
His victory could pave the way for a rematch with American Andre Ward, who outclassed and outpointed the Englishman in Atlantic City in 2011.
Ward, the WBA title-holder, was ringside at the O2 but Froch and Kessler, 34, could go again, given the barbaric and dramatic nature of their two fights so far and the fact they are so evenly matched.
While Kessler had only boxed 13 rounds since outpointing Froch in their first fight, Froch had fought five times, including last year's thrilling demolition of Canada's Lucian Bute.
And Kessler started slower, although Froch probably stole the opening round with a couple of flurries late on.
If some of the verbal exchanges in the build-up were trashy and the atmosphere before the first bell was electric, the first two rounds were relatively cagey.
Froch continued to control the centre of the ring in the second, keeping Kessler at bay with his jab and landing with a snappy left-right combination that caught his rival off-balance.
Kessler had some success with his jab in the third but Froch also landed with a crisp left hook and it looked like another round for the Englishman.
The Dane came into the fight in the fourth, demonstrating the speed he is renowned for and repeatedly beating Froch to the punch with his jab.
And the fight came alive in the fifth, with Kessler landing with two looping left hooks and bringing Froch to a standstill with a flurry of blows on the bell.
Kessler rocked Froch with a thunderous left-right combination at the start of the sixth and as the round progressed it appeared the Dane had gained control of the contest.
Froch got the better of some furious exchanges in the seventh as the 20,000 capacity crowd warmed to the action but they had not seen anything yet.
Kessler landed with a booming overhand right early in the eighth only for Froch to retaliate with a couple of rights of his own and stiffen his opponent with a sickening left-right combination.
By the ninth the fight had settled into a grim rhythm, with the pendulum swinging back and forth, but Kessler did the smarter work, making Froch grimace with a couple of stabbing blows to the body.
Froch probably nicked a ragged 10th courtesy of his superior work-rate but the Dane took the 11th, hurting his rival with some slick and heavy-handed combinations and paving the way for a grandstand finish.
The final round was a classic, with Froch mercilessly stalking his prey and Kessler hanging on for dear life when the final bell sounded.
If not Ward or Kessler, Froch, who improved to 31 wins and two defeats in 33 professional fights, might be tempted into a bout against American legend Bernard Hopkins, who defends his IBF light-heavyweight title against Karo Murat in July.
Wales's WBO light-heavyweight champion Nathan Cleverly has also expressed an interest in fighting Froch, as has Froch's fellow Englishman George Groves, who beat Uruguay's Noe Gonzalez in spectacular fashion on the undercard.
Kessler, whose only other losses in a 49-fight career, were against Welsh great Joe Calzaghe in 2007 and Ward in 2009, said he might retire if he lost to Froch but he might now be persuaded to change his mind.
The 12 are accused of links to Gennady Petrov, an alleged Russian mafia boss arrested in Spain in 2008 who later fled back to Russia.
Some of the accused are officials close to President Vladimir Putin's circle, Spanish media report.
One of them, Nikolai Aulov, dismissed the Spanish move as "political".
Mr Aulov is deputy head of the Russian Federal Anti-Narcotics Service (FSKN).
An FSKN statement (in Russian), quoted by the Lenta.ru news agency, said the order was "another move to fulfil a political instruction to discredit Russian Federation officials".
According to the warrant issued by Judge Jose de la Mata, of Spain's top criminal court, the 12 had links to Gennady Petrov's Tambovskaya mafia syndicate, accused of contract killings, arms- and drug-trafficking, extortion, forgery and money-laundering.
The suspects wanted by Spain include Igor Sobolevsky, ex-deputy head of the Russian Investigative Committee (SK) - a powerful state agency similar to the American FBI.
The list also includes Vladislav Reznik, an MP who previously chaired the Russian parliament's financial markets committee. His wife Diana Gindin is on the list too.
Some of the 12 were also named in an indictment issued by Spanish prosecutors last year, which listed 27 Russian suspects.
Petrov was among 20 people arrested as part of a major investigation known as Operation Troika.
Spanish prosecutors say Petrov's group had contacts with some senior government officials, including former defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov and former prime minister Viktor Zubkov.
Former Russian intelligence agent Alexander Litvinenko, murdered in London with radioactive polonium-210 in 2006, had been helping Spanish officials to investigate Russian organised crime. His activities in Spain emerged in the official British inquiry into his death.
The court on Friday asked federal investigators to examine multiple civilian deaths between 1979 and 2012
Activists say that troops have killed more than 1,500 people in the state in the past four decades.
Officials deny the claim and blame the deaths on insurgent groups which have been fighting for independence.
The court's order follows its landmark decision last year to ask rights groups and the families of the victims to gather evidence against security forces.
The government and security forces opposed any investigation into the civilian deaths.
But the court accepted the evidence presented by rights groups, who accuse security forces of misusing a controversial anti-insurgency law to commit rights abuses.
The Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) gives the security forces the powers of search and seizure. It also protects soldiers who may kill a civilian by mistake or in unavoidable circumstances during an operation.
The law has been blamed for "fake killings" in Manipur and Indian-administered Kashmir.
A former police commando told the BBC last month that he had killed more than 100 people in Manipur, and had kept a "tally of his kills" in notebooks.
"I was simply doing my duty and following the orders of my seniors. I confessed because I thought it was important to tell the truth," Herojit Singh told the BBC.
Activists say the court's decision to order an investigation into the killings could give some peace to the family members of the victims.
Neena Ningombam vividly remembers the day her husband disappeared - and ended up a corpse on cable news.
It was a bright, sunny November day in 2008, and 32-year-old Michael was visiting a friend's house in Imphal, the non-descript, mountain-ringed valley capital of Manipur.
At home, Ms Ningombam was doing her chores. Her two boys were fast asleep. At half past three in the afternoon, her mobile phone rang.
Michael was on the line saying that he had been picked up by police commandos on his way home, and that she should quickly pass on the news of his arrest to a senior policeman who was known to the family so that he could help secure his release.
The call disconnected abruptly. Two hours later, a man finally picked up the phone and told Ms Ningombam that her husband was "in the toilet". He said he would inform him that she had called.
Michael never called. When she tried calling again, his phone was switched off.

The number was up by 200 to 38,600 following a rise of 200 in February.
The government statistics agency, Nisra, said it was too early to say whether it was the start of a trend of rising unemployment.
In the UK as a whole, unemployment rose by 21,000 to 1.7m in the quarter between December and February.
Unemployment in Northern Ireland has been on a downward trend for the last three years, falling by 26,100 since the most recent peak in February 2013.
The rate of improvement has been slowing down.
The number of people leaving the unemployment register in the year to March 2016 was 6,600 compared to 11,800 in the year to March 2015.
The other measurement of unemployment, measured by the Labour Force Survey, showed a rate of 6.3% in the quarter between December and February.
It was also up slightly, but Nisra said the change is not considered to be statistically significant.
Other labour market measurements in Northern Ireland show some improvement.
The employment rate, which is the proportion of people aged 16 to 64 in work, is 68.9%, which is close to its pre-crisis level.
The economic inactivity rate, which measures people out of work but not looking for a job, now stands at 26.3% after a fall of 0.5 percentage points over the quarter.
That is an all-time low though is still noticeably higher than the UK rate of 21.7%.
Asif Malik, 31 and Sara Kiran, 29, were arrested in Turkey two weeks ago after British police appealed for information on their whereabouts.
The pair and their children, who are under seven, were reported missing from their home in Slough on 16 April.
They were deported from Turkey on Tuesday and moved to Moldova.
"We can confirm the detention of a British family in Moldova," said a Foreign Office spokesman.
"We are working closely with UK and Moldavian authorities to help ensure their well-being. We will not comment further on cases involving minors."
The family left Slough, Berkshire, on 7 April without mentioning their travel plans to relatives.
They boarded a ferry from Dover to Calais a few hours later, before travelling through Europe and crossing into Turkey through Greece.
Last month, police said online rhetoric from Islamic State (IS), the family's direction of travel, and concerns voiced by relatives, made officers "concerned" that they were heading for Syria.
Thames Valley Police also stressed that the family's disappearance was a missing persons' inquiry - not a criminal investigation.
Dubbed Google Station, the service will see wi-fi hotspots rolled out in stations, with plans to expand this to shopping malls and cafes at some point.
Google already offers high-speed free wi-fi access at 52 railway stations across India.
This would increase to 100 by the end of the year, it said.
Writing on the official Google blog, chief executive Sundar Pichai said the project "would rank as the largest public wi-fi project in India, and among the largest in the world, by number of potential users".
"Even with just the first 100 stations online, this project will make wi-fi available for the more than 10 million people who pass through every day," he wrote.
The service will be free to start with, but Google will be looking to monetise it at some point.
As well as aiming to cover 400 stations eventually, it will also look to add more partners to expand to shopping malls, cafes and other places with high footfall.
Ceasar Sengupta, vice-president of Google's Next Billion Users division, which is targeting emerging markets, said: "Every second, three Indians come online. And we have to ensure that the experience is wonderful for them.
"But the next billion is very different from the first billion, and by building products for these users we are preparing for how the world will use tech in the coming years,"
India represents huge opportunities for the big tech firms - some 350 million Indians are online currently, and this is expected to grow to more than 600 million in the next three years.
In 2014, Google launched Android One in the country, a handset with a minimum set of features that sells for about $100 (£77).
More recently, the company revealed a feature that made mobile web pages load faster and with less data and made YouTube available offline, with an offline version of Maps coming soon.
It has also worked to build greater local language support into its products, including Hindi Voice Search, an improved Hindi keyboard and support for seven other Indian languages with the latest version of Android.
It has also begun an initiative aimed at helping women benefit from the internet.
Google Station would also be launched in Indonesia and the Philippines in future, the company said.
Kevin O'Donnell, 24, produced the items from inside his body in Dundee's police headquarters after being arrested on another matter.
Dundee Sheriff Court was told he planned to smuggle heroin and anti-anxiety drug alprazolam into prison to pay off a relative's drug debt.
O'Donnell admitted being concerned in the supply of the drugs on 16 February.
Depute fiscal Vicki Bell told the court: "The heroin amounted to 28.5g with a value of £13,000 in prison.
"The value of that alprazolam was £2,025 in prison.
"There was also a mobile telephone found wrapped in cling film that he said he intended to take to prison with him."
Solicitor advocate Jim Laverty, defending, said: "A family member had fallen foul of drug dealers and he agreed to do this to clear that debt.
"He himself has dabbled in alcohol and diazepam during his early adolescence and his 20s but certainly my experience of him is that he is not someone who has a drug addiction difficulty."
Sheriff Alastair Carmichael said: "These are two serious offences, particularly when the intended market was people inside our prisons."
Viscount Fitzwilliam left his art and library - with £100,000 (about £74m today) to house them - to Cambridge University in 1816, and this was used to set up the Fitzwilliam Museum.
Sherlock (Simple Human Experiment Regarding Locally Observed Collective Knowledge) is similar to smartphone assistants such as Apple's Siri or Microsoft's Cortana.
It uses controlled natural language technology developed by IBM.
As well as answering questions, it also asks them in an effort to build up its knowledge base.
Such a system ensures that the software and the user "understand each other", project leader Prof Alun Preece told the BBC.
"You can ask Sherlock what it knows and it will tell you in natural language," he added.
Smartphone assistants have become better at interacting with people but many still find them frustrating.
Prof Preece understands that frustration.
"With Siri I take it out to ask for directions and it gives me driving instructions even though I always take the train."
By contrast, he said: "I would tell Sherlock that I take the train and so it would know that I always take the train and would give me that information."
So far the system, which is a currently just a research project, has been tested in a range of scenarios, including helping the emergency services and as an information app at a festival.
In the second case, it would crowdsource information from many users - such as asking a user queuing for food how long the queues were - to build up a knowledge base.
Other applications include being used as a smart home assistant.
"In a home that has a smart thermostat and devices that can detect if a window is open, a user might say to Sherlock 'I'm cold' and it would offer alternatives such as 'I can close the window or turn the heating up'", explained Prof Preece.
Recently the system had its first public trial at a BBC Make it Digital event in Cardiff. It was made available for download via a web browser.
During the event, it acted as a quizmaster, answering questions about BBC shows such as Doctor Who and its namesake Sherlock.
Participants could ask Sherlock questions and it would draw on previous answers given to it by other members of the public.
The next project will involve around 100 students at the university using Sherlock to help find objects that are hidden around the campus.
"It is not a product at the moment so we don't yet have a particular use or niche for Sherlock," said Prof Preece.
And even when it does have a use, Sherlock, like existing smartphone assistants, will only be able to respond to specific tasks.
Prof Preece acknowledges that, in future, people will want a more general software assistant that can help in all aspects of their lives.
"What things like Siri and Google Now have done is opened the door for technology that has been bubbling away for many years. That technology promises to speed up the process of making software more capable and I think we will make huge jumps in the next five years," he said.
The 40-year-old was thrown out of a pub before being struck in Cheadle in Stockport, Greater Manchester, at about 19:50 GMT on Boxing Day.
He was found in the middle of High Street with head and chest injuries. He is in a stable condition in hospital.
The driver of the silver A-Class Mercedes drove off when the man "became free", police said.
Appealing for information, PC Paul Joynson said: "We know the man had been drinking in the nearby George and Dragon pub... and that he had been ejected from the premises, though it is not thought at this stage to be linked to the collision."

Kenny beat Australia's Matthew Glaetzer in a deciding sprint to win his third world title and first since 2013.
Cavendish, 30, finished sixth in the six-race omnium, outside of the top-three target he was told he needed to be considered for Olympic selection.
However GB Cycling chief Shane Sutton said: "We're not discounting Mark."

Triple Olympic champion Jason Kenny rose to the occasion at the Lee Valley VeloPark in London with a stunning sprint gold.
The 27-year-old rode home in 10.786 seconds in the deciding race to claim his second world title in the sport's blue riband event.
"It was a real slog, the time was slow, it wasn't the prettiest race of the day. Those last few rides were tough," said Kenny.
Having lost the first of the best-of-three sprints by two thousandths of a second, Kenny rode well tactically in the second to take it to the deciding third, which he won comfortably.
Until his sprint victory, Kenny had won more Olympic titles than world titles, despite the latter being held annually.
Kenny is again peaking at the right time, returning to the speed which won him the Olympic sprint title in 2012.
The Briton, who this week admitted his record at the worlds was "bizarre", said he knew he had found his form during qualifying.
Britain's selectors have an Olympic dilemma in the omnium as they have a number of options. Jon Dibben is Cavendish's main rival for a place on the team after the 22-year-old made a strong case for inclusion with a brilliant ride in winning the points race world title on Friday.
In finishing sixth with 161 points - 30 points adrift of the winner - Cavendish failed to meet the target set by his boss Sutton. Adding to the Cavendish conundrum is that his omnium inclusion would mean having to select the Manxman as part of the five-man team pursuit squad.
His coach Heiko Salzwedel has admitted the three-time world champion has a "long way to go" to reach the required standard in that event and the 26-time Tour de France stage winner will have to prove he can combine his road and track commitments.
Sutton told BBC Sport that Cavendish showed "real quality" this week and did not rule out selecting the Briton.
"The name didn't help him. The greatest road sprinter of all time comes to the boards," said the Australian.
"We'll sit down and discuss with Mark. He and Heiko will have a lot of analysis this week. He didn't get the result he wanted. That decision is between him, us and his coaching team."
Six-time Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy told the BBC that Cavendish had not done enough in London to warrant a place in the Olympic team.
Dame Sarah Storey agreed, adding: "He's progressed enormously, but I don't think there's enough time for him to prove himself."
Former Olympic champion Chris Boardman said: "It's going to be difficult to select him on this. He's acquitted himself well but it's a different thing to sprinting on the road."
But Cavendish, who will ride in the madison with Sir Bradley Wiggins on Sunday, told BBC Sport he was still optimistic of competing in Rio for a first Olympic title.
"Hopefully I did enough. I don't know, we're incredibly lucky in Britain that we've got a strong group of guys," he said.
In an exciting finale, the omnium was won by defending champion Fernando Gaviria. The Colombian finished on 191 points for a three-way tie with Germany's Roger Kluge and Australia's Glenn O'Shea, with Gaviria taking it for finishing better than his two rivals in the final sprint.
Laura Trott is well placed to win her third medal of the week as she is second at the halfway stage of the women's omnium.
The double Olympic champion, who has already won scratch gold and team pursuit bronze at these championships, is level on 112 points with America's Sarah Hammer who leads the standings after winning the elimination race.
Trott, third in the omnium scratch and second in the 3km individual pursuit, came second in the elimination.
Three events remain in the gruelling six-event competition, with gold decided on Sunday's final day.
Teenager Emily Nelson finished fifth in a women's points race which was won by Poland's Katarzyna Pawlowska.
The 19-year-old described her debut a the World Championships as "incredible", praising the support of the "amazing" crowd.
"I'm gutted that I didn't medal, but I'm so happy with fifth. I'm happy with how I rode," she told BBC Sport.

The A465 Heads Of The Valleys Road was shut in both directions near Hirwaun, following the incident, which happened at about at 06:50 BST on Tuesday.
The spillage was between the junctions for A4059 Hirwaun Road/Brecon Road and B4276 Merthyr Road.
South Wales Police tweeted there was "only one minor injury".
He said they had "failed" to uphold "humanitarian law" by not helping aid get to Aleppo when it was under siege.
Nearly 1,000 people have been evacuated from the city.
Theresa May said President Assad, Russia and Iran "bear responsibility for the tragedy in Aleppo", adding that the UK would provide £20m in aid.
Syrian government forces took nearly all remaining rebel-held parts of Aleppo this week after a four-year battle.
Mr Johnson, who met Russian ambassador Alexander Yakovenko and Iran's Hamid Baedinejad separately on Thursday afternoon, said he had conveyed the UK government's "profound concern over the situation in Aleppo".
He added: "Both Russia and Iran have failed to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law, specifically by failing to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians during the months when eastern Aleppo was besieged.
"They deserve no credit for the fact that an evacuation appears to be under way today. Having inflicted such suffering on the people of eastern Aleppo, Iran and Russia cannot expect praise for allowing some people to escape at the final hour.
"Both countries need to ensure the UN now oversees the evacuation process and that all civilians and non-combatants are properly protected."
At a summit in London, Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon also condemned the brutality of pro-regime forces in Aleppo, and reiterated the UK's view that it sees no future for President Assad in Syria.
Prime Minister Mrs May said the "appalling situation in Syria" was the most important item discussed by EU leaders at a European Council summit in Brussels.
She urged President Assad and his backers in Russia and Iran to "allow the United Nations to ensure the safe evacuation of the civilians who are left there".
"The UK is going to provide a further £20m of practical support for those who are most vulnerable.
"The mayor of eastern Aleppo said to us: 'We can't bring back those we have lost, but we can save those who remain.' And that is what we must now do."
A statement from the Russian Centre for the Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria, part of Russia's ministry of defence, said the Syrian authorities had guaranteed the safety of all members of the armed groups who decided to leave Aleppo.
Bathgate received the accolade from the charity Toilet Twinning which encourages people to pay to provide a latrine for a family overseas.
People involved in the scheme met in Boghall Parish Church on Thursday - World Toilet Day.
It costs £60 to twin a household toilet.
Money raised goes to Tearfund's water and sanitation programme, which provides toilets, clean water and hygiene education in some of the world's poorest countries.
Gillian Reid, who has lived in Bathgate for 35 years, is involved in both the Bathgate and Whitburn Fair Trade groups whose coffee mornings funded some of the 20 local twins.
She said: "So many children die every day because they don't have clean water and sanitation. How much more basic can you get than needing a toilet to keep healthy?
"A toilet is something so fundamental. We're really proud to get this award - and I hope it will inspire others to twin too."
Lynne Paterson, director of Tearfund Scotland, said: "We tend to get a bit embarrassed talking about toilets in this country - but in the countries where we work, they are quite literally life-savers.
"Bathgate should be very proud of its achievement, its toilet twins will change many lives forever."

A post mortem examination was carried out at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool on Tuesday.
North West Wales coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones said he had asked a forensic pathologist and a paediatric pathologist to take part in the post mortem examination.
"A lot of tests have been carried out and it will be some considerable time before I receive all the results," he said.
Martina has decided to choose a different way of life and will be joining a religious congregation.
"I've been a journalist now for almost 25 years, 15 of them at the BBC," Martina said. "It has been an immensely rewarding profession.
"I am especially grateful to the BBC for the opportunities I've been given."
She added: "The BBC has always been very supportive of my work.
"I want to wish all my colleagues all the very best both here and at Stormont, especially my friends in the political unit. I shall miss them very much. I also want to wish the politicians well in their future endeavours.
"I'm very grateful for all the support I've had over many years from colleagues, family, contacts and friends."
"I know many people will not understand this decision. It is a decision that I have not come to lightly, but it is one that I make with love and great joy. I ask for prayers as I embark on this path with all humility, faith and trust.
"This is a very personal decision. I ask that the media respect my privacy and that of the religious congregation which I am entering, as I face up to the new challenges of my life. I will not be making any further public comment about this matter."
The Director of BBC NI Peter Johnston said: "We are extremely sad to be losing Martina from BBC NI's political team.
"She has made a big contribution to our political coverage over many years and she will be greatly missed. I wish her well in the new direction she has chosen for her life."
Head of News, Kathleen Carragher, said: "Martina Purdy is one of BBC NI's most talented and hardworking correspondents.
"She has contributed a huge amount over the years to BBC NI's output, during a period of significant political developments.
"She has worked on daily and weekly television and radio news programmes, on documentaries, on election specials and on news online. We will miss her wit and wisdom. I wish her happiness and fulfilment in her new life".
Martina will not be making any public comment about her decision, nor will she be giving any interviews.
Martina joined BBC NI in 1999. Before that she worked for the Belfast Telegraph, from 1993 to 1999, as business editor and then political correspondent. Previously she was employed, from 1991 to 1993, by the Irish News.

He was referring to the long-running Operation Lancet inquiry into alleged police corruption, which led to former Det Supt Ray Mallon - popularly known as "Robocop" - being asked to resign.
Less than 10 years into the post Mr Price himself became the subject of an inquiry. He was found guilty of gross misconduct and has now been dismissed.
Born in 1957, Sean Price attended Liverpool Bluecoat School, then gained a BSc at Queen Mary's College, University of London.
He joined Merseyside Police in 1979 straight from university and within a few years was promoted to the rank of chief superintendent.
Notable postings included head of drug squad operations, and head of the unit responsible for the wholesale restructuring of Merseyside Police.
In 1998 Mr Price moved to Nottinghamshire, where he was responsible for all uniform and CID operational policing within the county.
Before his promotion to deputy chief constable in 2001, he gained a masters degree in criminology from the University of Cambridge.
At Cleveland Police he promised to deliver "citizen focused neighbourhood policing", even spending some time on the front line himself.
He introduced the "Putting People First" programme and received the Queen's Police Medal in the Queen's Birthday Honours in June 2005.
Cleveland Police was named Force of the Year in 2011.
Married to a police officer, Mr Price's recreations as listed in Debretts include cycling, cooking, reading, and playing musical instruments (badly).
The former chief constable remains on bail as part of Operation Sacristy, a corruption investigation relating to individuals with past and present associations with Cleveland Police Authority.
Mr Price said: "As chief constable I have been, and remain, immensely proud of the achievements of Cleveland Police and the dedication of its officers and staff.
"On a personal note, I continue to deny any wrongdoing in this or any other matter."
The semi-autonomous territory maintains a political union with Tanzania, but has its own parliament and president.
A former centre of the spice and slave trades, present-day Zanzibar is infused with African, Arab, European and Indian influences.
In 1964 members of the African majority overthrew the established minority Arab ruling elite. The leftist revolution was swift but bloody; as many as 17,000 people were killed.
A republic was established and the presidents of Zanzibar and Tanganyika, on the mainland, signed an act of union, forming the United Republic of Tanzania while giving semi-autonomy to Zanzibar.
Separatist sentiments have been gaining ground on the islands.
Population 1.3 million
Area 2,461 sq km (950 sq miles)
Major language Kiswahili, English
Major religion Islam
Life expectancy 58 years (men), 62 years
Currency Tanzania shilling
President: Ali Mohamed Shein
Ali Mohamed Shein from the governing CCM (Chama Cha Mapinduzi) party was voted in as president in elections in November 2010.
In March 2016 he and the CCM party were declared winners of controversial re-run elections. The polls were a re-run of elections the previous October that were cancelled by the Zanzibar Electoral Commission (ZEC) over fraud allegations.
Fifteen European and US diplomats issued a joint statement regretting the vote, which was boycotted by the opposition.
Zanzibar has its own cabinet, known as the Revolutionary Council, and a 50-seat house of representatives. Elections, by popular vote, are held every five years.
The media in Zanzibar come under a different set of regulations to their counterparts in mainland Tanzania.
Caerphilly council is to consult on proposed physical improvements in Newbridge and regeneration of derelict land for economic and community use.
Plans for Bargoed include a new site for business as well as an urban park.
Projects which include funds for firms in both towns to improve the frontage of their premises will be delivered by mid-2015, the Welsh government said.
Finance Minister Jane Hutt announced the funding while on a visit to Newbridge.
The Welsh government said the new money will build on previous projects which included the Calzaghe Bridge - named after local boxing hero Joe Calzaghe - and the renovation of Newbridge Memorial Hall and Institute.
Ms Hutt said: "The funding will help build on progress already made in creating an attractive environment to ensure the success of both towns.
"It will also boost private sector investment and contribute towards the long term economic prosperity of the area.
"This is another example of how Wales benefits from EU Funds and membership of the EU."
Ken James, Caerphilly cabinet member for planning and sustainable development, said: "Over recent years we have seen some dramatic transformations of some of our key towns in the Caerphilly county borough.
"Working in partnership with Welsh government, we are able to make a commitment to grow and enhance our existing town centres to create attractive, vibrant and prosperous places for residents and visitors to live, work and visit."
The regional outlook report said Wales now has 5,680 manufacturing firms and 156,000 people employed in the sector - 10.7% of the country's total workforce.
It said business confidence remained high "despite an uncertain political landscape".
The report is based on survey data and Office for National Statistics figures.
Compiled by the employers organisation EEF and accountancy and business advisors BDO LLP, the report said manufacturing jobs have risen by 10.6% since March 2010.
It added manufacturing now accounts for 16.8% of the country's total output - the second highest in the UK - with transport, food and drink and metals the largest sectors.
Paul Byard, EEF director for Wales, said: "This is positive news for Wales with our output balance outperforming the rest of the UK again.
"Confidence in the sector in Wales remains high, in spite of a squeeze on particularly domestic budgets, which was the likely cause of some signs of softening at the start of the year."
Paul Falvey, partner and head of manufacturing at BDO in Wales, added: "Wales has been a strong performer over the past year, outperforming other regions in manufacturing output and reporting high levels of confidence and investment intentions." | A sixth case of bird flu in a wild bird in the Republic of Ireland since last year has been confirmed in County Tipperary.

The gigantic lagoons - like big man-made lakes - would generate electricity using the power of the sea's tides.
There are plans for six lagoons in total - four in Wales, one in the south-west of England in Somerset, and one in the north-west of England in Cumbria.
The lagoons could generate 8% of the UK's electricity, say engineers.
The seas around Britain are tidal: this means the water levels rise and fall every day, sometimes by several metres in height.
A turbine is a way of generating electricity from a turning fan.
When wind, or water, rushes through the fan blades, it turns the turbine and generates power.
This means a huge amount of water comes and goes, roughly twice a day.
These special lagoons will use the power of the sea tides by controlling when the water flows back and forth.
When the tide starts to rise, gates in the sea wall around the lagoon are closed and water builds up outside the wall.
When the tide is at its highest, the gates are opened and the water rushes through turbines in the wall.
As the turbines turn around, electricity is generated, and as the water passes through, the lagoon fills up as well.
Then it happens the other way around: as the tide falls outside the wall, the level of the lagoon stays high. At low tide, the gates open again letting the water out of the lagoon, generating more electricity.
It's thought the turbines would generate power in this way for an average of 14 hours each day.
Environment groups say the lagoon shouldn't disturb wildlife too much and that it'll make much-needed clean energy.
But some people are worried that the turbines might harm fish, so they don't want the lagoons built too close to rivers.
The company behind the scheme say the lagoon walls would act as artificial reefs for wildlife.
After Cipriani's early penalty, Wasps led 6-3 at the break when stand-off Jimmy Gopperth's penalty was followed by centre Elliott Daly's drop-goal.
But Cipriani levelled it again with the first of three second-half penalties.
Gopperth kicked a second penalty but Cipriani's drop-goal secured a third Premiership win of the season to lift them also above Bath into seventh.
Dai Young's side had started the day in eighth place, hunting a fourth successive away win. But, instead, amid a constant drizzle which made handling treacherous, they drop to ninth after slumping to their fifth successive defeat at Sale's Salford home.
In fact, Wasps have only won once on Sale soil in the last 10 seasons, a 25-24 victory at Edgeley Park in October 2010.
Sale twice came close to scoring in a bright start, when centre Will Addison chose to ignore an overlap, and then when full-back Mike Haley's thrilling run was halted by a brave tackle from former Sharks man Rob Miller.
Wasps could then have scored after a blistering break from centre Daly cut open Sale's defence but full-back Miller spilled the ball crossing the line and it was ruled out after consulting the TMO.
But they got on the scoreboard two minutes later with a Gopperth penalty before Daly's deft drop-goal earned a half-time lead.
Cipriani, potentially in line for an international recall under new England coach Eddie Jones after being left out of Stuart Lancaster's World Cup squad, got Sale back level on 56 minutes.
He then put his side back in front to the delight of Sale's biggest home crowd of the season, 7,619.
Wasps refused to buckle as a fine up-and-under from Gopperth opened up a break for replacement Kearnan Myall which led to a Sale foul allowing Gopperth to level again with the boot.
Sale then thought they had scored when replacement scrum-half Peter Stringer darted over but, although it was disallowed after consulting the TMO, referee Luke Pearce did award Sale a penalty for an earlier infringement.
Cipriani's nerve stood up to the test as he booted over his fourth penalty out of four before again finding the posts with that low, late drop-goal.
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond:
"Danny Cipriani played really well. He's pushed into that potential England squad whenever it is announced. You learn more playing for a club like Sale where it doesn't always go well.
"You have to learn how to develop as a player and Danny has done that over the past two or three years, which is why he wants to stay around here for the next couple of years.
"He's a leader by way of his skill sets but also by way of his influence. In these conditions he knows his skill isn't always going to win us games. Instead he needs to put us in field positions. It's so rare these days but so valuable. He has the full skill set.
"He's more mature as a player and he understands what he has got to do. He has worked really hard on his kicking over the past few weeks and his defence has also come on leaps and bounds and he is a real team player for us."
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young:
"Given the conditions, there were never going to be many scoring opportunities but, from our point of view, I was really disappointed with our skill sets.
"It was obviously disappointing but we made far too many errors. We made something like 18 handling errors.
"And I have to say that I thought they also wanted it a bit more. We've got a losing bonus point and that is probably as much as we deserve."

On its Facebook page, St Enda's GAA club said that "significant damage to fixtures and fittings" had been caused.
It also said that vital club equipment and other items had been stolen. The break-in happened late on Monday or in the early hours of Tuesday.
All indoor activities for its youth players have had to be cancelled.
However, the club said it would "not allow this despicable attack on our club to set us back".
Club secretary Conor Sally said the burglars had cut open two gates and pulled open a fire escape.
He said they had "broken most doors forcefully going through each room".
He added: "There was a lot of damage caused, a number of items taken, including a number of safes, some of which had been bolted to the wall and had been obviously forcefully removed.
"It would have been quite noisy, I presume these people used some form of drilling equipment to manage to get the safes out.
"We can only assume they were there for some considerable period of time."
He said a number of activities planned for this week had to be cancelled.
"It's a community resource, it's an attack on the community and the clubrooms are used totally for community activities, whenever needed and whenever required," he said.
"Every single person who plays a role in that is obviously shocked and disappointed - you could see the anger in people as news started to spread yesterday and as people started to come out, you could see the visible anger."
Police say the break-in happened some time between 21:00 GMT on Monday and 08:00 on Tuesday and have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
Kathryn Smith, 23, was convicted of murder and cruelty to a child over the death of Ayeeshia Jane Smith at her flat in Burton upon Trent in 2014.
Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Board will review the case. Ayeeshia was known to social services all her life.
But Burton MP Andrew Griffiths said an independent inquiry was needed.
Killer mum and partner 'in it together'
Comparing the case to that of Victoria Climbie and the death of Baby Peter, he said it was too serious to be looked at by local social services.
"Such a shocking and brutal death that raises so many questions about how social workers operate should not be placed in the hands of the local authority to investigate itself," he said.
"This child was known to social services from the very moment she was born, and throughout her life social workers were aware of the real danger that she was in.
"It's remarkable and deeply concerning that, given there appears to be such obvious signs of risk to her life, that social workers didn't intervene earlier and didn't take steps to take her from her mother."
Mr Griffiths, who will call for an independent inquiry in Parliament, said an independent inquiry would examine "missed opportunities" to save Ayeeshia.
In June 2013, Ayeeshia had been placed with a foster family but sent back to live with her mother in October.
By this time Smith had begun a relationship with Matthew Rigby, who was cleared of murder but convicted of causing or allowing the girl's death.
Ayeeshia died from a laceration to the heart on 1 May 2014.
A trial at Birmingham Crown Court heard she had 16 separate injuries on her body, including a historical bleed on her brain.
Andrew Stokes, interim chairman of Derbyshire Safeguarding Children Board, has confirmed it will carry out a review of how it monitored and responded to concerns over Ayeeshia.

Bafta stands for British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
The Lego Movie was one of the lucky winners on the night picking up the award for best animated film.
The famous mask trophies are made at a factory in Middlesex, south-east England.
An individual mould is created for every mask, before molten bronze is poured in and left to set.
Each trophy weighs roughly the same as three bags of sugar and takes about three hours to complete.

In December, four local teams boycotted games in protest over unpaid wages.
"The situation is a result of bad management, and a lack of control and accountability in the management of clubs and football institutions," said Gabon's footballers' union (ANFPG).
The ANFPG hopes the Nations Cup can improve local players' conditions.
The union says many first and second division players are still owed substantial salaries from last year.
In December, world governing body Fifa intervened to ensure that Mangasport - league champions in 2014 and 2015 - paid a former player, Ivorian Mariano Beugre, his outstanding wages.
"We can confirm that the Dispute Resolution Chamber judge dealt with a dispute opposing the player Mariano Beugre to the club Mangasport," a Fifa spokesperson told BBC Sport.
"According to the relevant decision, the club is ordered to pay to the player the amount of ($28,000)."
Gabon will stage the Nations Cup, which runs from 14 January until 5 February, for the second time in five years, having co-hosted with Equatorial Guinea in 2012.
"We believe this Nations Cup must allow us to have a collective awareness and take stock of our football since the last Nations Cup in 2012," Remy Ebanega, president of the ANFPG, told BBC Sport.
"[We need] to put in place general rules for the best practice.
"Our football is deteriorating every day of every year simply because its leaders have not yet understood that the main player is the footballer. Without a footballer, there is no club, no league, even less a federation.
"Everything is done in an anarchic way, with the sole interest of a handful of people, and no reflection on the short, medium and long term objectives of our football."
In a survey published by global players' union FIFPro in November, 96% of players in Gabon reported payment delays.
On 29 December, players from Stade Mandji - title-winners in 2009 - and Adouma FC refused to play matches in protest (with their opponents awarded technical 3-0 victories as a result).
Two teams in the second division also went on strike.
One of the Stade Mandji players, defender Franck Perrin Obambou, has been included in Gabon squad for the Nations Cup, which the hosts open on Saturday against Guinea-Bissau in Libreville.
Only two other domestic players have made the squad, with both Yves Bitseki Moto and Cedric Ondo Biyoghe on the books of league leaders Mounana.
Some of the continent's finest footballers are set to play on Gabon's pitches this month, including recently-crowned Confederation of African Football's African Footballer of the Year Riyad Mahrez of Algeria and Senegal's Sadio Mane, Africa's most expensive footballer.
All eyes will also be on Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the free-scoring striker with Germany's Borussia Dortmund and an ANFPG vice-president as well.
But Africa's flagship sporting event has been beset by problems, with opposition members of parliament calling for the public to boycott matches in protest at the country's political and economic problems.
Some fans have responded by posting images of ripped-up matchday tickets on social media.
While Gabon hosts some of the richest African footballers for the month-long tournament, local players will continue their fight to be paid.
The league, which is suspended for the duration of the Nations Cup, is set to return on 18 February.
No club from Gabon has ever won a major continental football title, while the national team has never surpassed the quarter-final stage of a Nations Cup.
The BBC contacted organisers of the Gabonese league who have yet to comment.
Midea is offering 115 euros per share ($130; £90) for a controlling stake in the firm, valuing it at more than $5bn.
Earlier this year Midea doubled its stake in Kuka to 10.2%, making it the company's second-largest shareholder.
Engineering firm Voith Group and German billionaire Friedhelm Loh together own more than a third of Kuka.
Midea's shares remain suspended in Shenzhen following the announcement on Wednesday.
However, shares of Kuka surged by 13% in Frankfurt on Tuesday following media reports of Midea's impending bid.
Midea, which makes some of China's most popular air conditioners, fridges and washing machines, has been on an acquisition spree this year.
Earlier this year, it took control of Toshiba's consumer electronics business for about $473m.
Midea also reportedly tried to buy General Electric's appliances unit, but was unsuccessful.
GE ended up selling the unit to Chinese rival Haier for $5.4bn in January.
The unfortunate Devbot vehicle crashed out of the Roborace competition after misjudging a corner while travelling at high speed.
The incident occurred ahead of the start of the latest Formula E electric car race in Buenos Aires.
The other vehicle managed to complete the course after achieving a top speed of 186km/h (116mph).
"One of the cars was trying to perform a manoeuvre, and it went really full-throttle and took the corner quite sharply and caught the edge of the barrier," Roborace's chief marketing officer Justin Cooke told the BBC.
"It's actually fantastic for us because the more we see these moments the more we are able to learn and understand what was the thinking behind the computer and its data.
"The car was damaged, for sure, but it can be repaired. And the beauty is no drivers get harmed because... there is no-one in them."
Photos of the resulting damage have been published by an Argentinian blog. Roborace also plans to upload footage from the event onto its YouTube channel this Friday.
The Devbots are controlled by artificial intelligence software - rather than being remote-controlled by humans - and use a laser-based Lidar (light detection and ranging) system and other sensors to guide themselves. They also communicate to avoid collisions with each other.
Roborace's organisers had previously showed off one of their Devbots speeding round the UK's Donington Park circuit last August, but this was the first time they had publicly displayed two vehicles competing against each other.
Even so, they billed the event as a test run ahead of future plans to pit 10 teams of robotic cars against each other, each powered by different AI software.
Mr Cooke stressed that crash barriers and a limit on the Devbot's top speed had meant spectators in the Argentine capital had not been put at risk.
And he added that another incident involving the winning car illustrated built-in safety measures.
"A dog ran on to the track, and the car was able to slow down, avoid it and take another path," he said.
Roborace's chief executive Denis Sverdlov will reveal more details about his company's plans, at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona next week.
The company then intends to show off its tech again at the next Formula E race, in Mexico City on 1 April.
The RAF serviceman vanished after a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September.
A bin lorry made a collection in the area a short time after the last sighting of the 23-year-old.
His mother Nicola Urquhart said she was both "terrified and desperate" for the result the search, which will start on 22 February, may bring.
LIVE: Updates on this and other Suffolk news
Police will search more than 920 sq m (1,100 sq yd) of waste to a depth of 8m (26ft).
It is expected to take a team of specialist officers up to 10 weeks to complete the search at Milton, near Cambridge.
Mrs Urquhart, from Dunfermline, said: "It is with extreme mixed emotions that myself, the boys and our family take on board this news.
"To know that the police are now going to carry this out is emotionally overwhelming.
"My respect and gratitude to the officers carrying out this task is immeasurable."
Mr Mckeague was last seen walking into a bin loading bay known as the "horseshoe" at 03:25 GMT.
A bin lorry was seized early in the early stages of the investigation after Mr Mckeague's phone signal followed the same route as the vehicle.
No traces of Mr Mckeague were found in the lorry and the landfill site was never searched.
Det Supt Katie Elliott from Suffolk Police said searching the landfill site is the "next logical step".
She said: "While the search may not provide the answers as to what happened it is something we need to do as our investigation continues."
Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline, is based at RAF Honington. His girlfriend April Oliver is pregnant with his child.
And his antics caught the imagination of audiences around the world as social media feeds caught fire with talk of the British boxer.
Approximately 151,000 tweets were sent about Fury in the hour he was crowned champion, with people from Auckland to the Philippines discussing the fight.
Former cricketer Andrew Flintoff burst into song, while the internet responded with its usual mix of gifs, memes and jokes.
BBC Sport takes a look at the best social media had to offer...
Approximately 262,521 tweets about Fury were sent from people around the world during and after the fight.
At one stage the Manchester boxer was trending as far away as New Zealand.
The Bleacher Report produced this gif, which refers to the time Fury did indeed punch himself in the face during a fight as he attempted an uppercut against Lee Swaby.
Watford captain Troy Deeney tweeted to say he had won £8,000 on the Fury fight. Earlier in the day the Birmingham City fan scored against Aston Villa in a 3-1 win.
Former England cricketer and one-fight boxer Andrew Flintoff was watching the bout in Australia and filmed himself singing along to Fury's version of the Aeorsmith classic 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing'.
On English-language social media Fury drew plenty of attention - but not as much as Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, who set a new record Premier League record on Saturday having scored in 11 matches in a row.
Vitalii Sych, editor of Novoye Vremya weekly: "Friends, let's face it, Klitschko lost today. It was obvious. And the judges are not to blame… Wladimir is a superior boxer to the British Yeti. But for some reason, he lost today. I think he has every chance to learn a lesson and knock this guy out in a rematch."
Journalist Peter Shuklinov: "Wladimir, whether you take revenge or not, whether you win or lose, whether you retire now or in 10 years - whatever happens, thank you! You taught Ukrainians to believe in victory so strongly that no one can allow even the thought of defeat. We should look up to you and build the country with the same belief in ourselves. Thank you for all these years of craftsmanship. We are with you anyway."
Sergey Naumovich, human rights activist from Donetsk: "Let's admit that Klitschko lost unambiguously. Age takes its toll. And even 5-7 years ago, it would have been difficult for Wladimir to beat such a bulky and raving wardrobe."
The Betoota Advocate, a satirical website posing as a country newspaper, made its low-key debut two years ago.
Perfectly imitating the tone and style of a small town paper, it has brazenly courted confusion between satire, genuine news and advertising.
The publication facetiously claims to be "Australia's oldest newspaper" and to be based in a remote western Queensland town - Betoota - where the last remaining resident died more than 10 years ago.
Its popularity, however, is winning over a real audience that rivals some mainstream news and entertainment websites.
Some of the website's stories have found viral success, including one article which gleefully baited gun-loving Americans.
Other stories - including one about the parking inspector who fined himself - have been reported as fact by mainstream media.
Editor-at-large Errol Parker and editor Clancy Overell - not their real names - put Betoota on the map after dabbling in media and advertising.
"It's exactly 87km [54 miles] due east of Birdsville on the edge of the picturesque but very brutal Simpson Desert," Mr Parker said.
"There's almost no reason why you'd ever go to southwest Queensland unless you were going to the Birdsville Races.
"That's the only tangible reason that a normal well-adjusted person would go down to the Queensland desert."
The thin line between truth and fiction is wilfully misrepresented by the two writers and one publisher behind the website.
They received praise from a brewery executive for an unpaid article which falsely claimed Australia's most popular beer had gone undercover to win a craft brewing competition.
And despite appearing to be mostly harmless fun, threats of legal action from organisations mentioned in articles are not uncommon.
At the time of writing, the website directs complaints to the fax machine listed for Opposition Leader Bill Shorten.
With a rising profile, they've conducted guerrilla-style interviews outside Parliament House with controversial senator Jacqui Lambie and billionaire politician Clive Palmer.
They helped eccentric country MP Bob Katter shoot a controversial ad and "spent a night on the cans" with Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce - known internationally for threatening Johnny Depp's dogs.
More recently, their "Make Betoota Great Again" campaign mischievously encouraged Australians to list the ghost town as their official residence in a national census.
Arguably what sets the satirical website apart from the competition is a genuine connection to the bush and their larrikin jokes.
"There's a certain sense of humour that you can feel out there I think and you can be a little bit politically incorrect," Mr Overall said.
"We say things like that where obviously someone's going to get pretty hot under the collar but it's never punching down, I don't think, and that's the key to it."
Although it's an operation that feels more upstart than start-up, the Betoota Advocate broadly follows the footsteps of Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) and Barry Humphries (Les Patterson).
With a book compiling their best stories due for release in October, the editors are hoping more and more people will get come to know their small town paper.
As for the serious business of satire, the editorial team have expressed a desire to retain long-term creative and financial control of the project.
Australian media commentator Paul Barry compares the website to a home-grown version of The Onion and argues that the main threat the website poses is to the reputation of some reporters.
"Many journalists don't check. Simple as that. And they're gullible," he said.
"There's not too many who have been caught by Betoota, but those who have been caught have not made any calls or other checks to find out if the story is true."
The parish councils of Marlesford, Little Glemham and Farnham with Stratford St Andrew have formed the Four Villages Bypass Working Group.
They fear developments at Sizewell and Greater Gabbard would see more heavy vehicles on roads which they say already struggle with traffic.
The group has appealed to senior councillors and local MPs to intervene.
EDF Energy is planning to build another nuclear power station at Sizewell by 2025.
Debbi Tayler, clerk for Farnham with Stratford St Andrew Parish Council, said: "We feel that with the push for the development of the new reactor at Sizewell, it's the best opportunity we've had in a long time, given it may be possible for us to find funding via EDF.
"Whether or not there is going to be a significant increase in traffic because of the new build will depend on the road traffic assessment that Sizewell and EDF are carrying out at the moment."
Ms Tayler said she had seen "huge propellers" passing through the villages recently en route to the Greater Gabbard offshore wind farm.
She said: "If this continues there's no way that the road can maintain that sort of traffic.
"It's crazy that you get to Marlesford and you're on a major trunk road and it's a single carriageway that goes through very, very small villages."
Therese Coffey, Conservative MP for Suffolk Coastal, said: "Everyone who drives up and down the A12 will understand the problem that the residents of the four villages experience.
"We are determined to work together to get the best solution for residents and businesses alike."
A spokesman for Suffolk County Council said it supported the aim of a "four village bypass".
"We believe that this should be delivered as part of the proposed Sizewell C development," the authority said.
A memorial stone to The Chronicles of Narnia creator will be unveiled later, to mark the 50th anniversary of his death.
He is the first Belfast writer to receive such an honour.
Lewis will join such greats as Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, John Keats, William Blake and TS Eliot in a tradition going back 600 years.
It coincides with a day of literary celebration in Belfast, that includes a CS Lewis mayoral reception at the city hall.
The event is part of the week-long CS Lewis festival designed to celebrate and enjoy the work and life of one of Belfast's greatest literary sons.
Belfast Lord Mayor MáirtÃn Ó Muilleoir said: "I feel honoured to host a reception for the finest modern Belfast writers, who follow a proud local literary heritage which the likes of CS Lewis helped to build.
"It is also fitting that the best Belfast writers should get together to read on the very day that CS Lewis is interred in Poets corner in Westminster Abbey - the first ever Belfast writer to receive that honour.
"This is a great day for our city and our wealth of writers past and present".
Lewis (1898-1963) is best remembered for writing The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of books that has sold more than 100m copies worldwide.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first instalment in the saga, was published in 1950 and has been adapted since for stage, TV and film.
Other works by the Belfast-born novelist, essayist and literary critic include The Screwtape Letters, The Space Trilogy and the non-fiction titles Mere Christianity and Miracles.
Former poet laureate Ted Hughes was the most recent writer to be commemorated at Westminster Abbey with a posthumous memorial stone.
Irish lost 15-33 against Wasps at Twickenham on Saturday - their fifth defeat in five Premiership matches.
The result saw The Exiles drop to the bottom of the table after also winless Newcastle drew against Sale.
"We don't want to go back to the club and become too negative in what we're trying to do," Coventry told BBC Sport.
Irish scored two tries through teenage centre Johnny Williams in the second match of the London Double Header.
Media playback is not supported on this device
But, Wasps scored four of their own to secure a bonus-point victory and their first away Premiership win of the season.
"We just have to hold our course," Coventry added, who took over team management in the summer.
"The competition is about winning and getting points to move up the ladder and we need to get rid of that duck obviously.
"We'll be striving to do that in a positive manner. We're still competing with some of the better clubs in the competition, that's where we aspire to be.
"We've just got to get over that hurdle, which is difficult when you're losing confidence.
"But, I'm sure when we put in a good performance that confidence will come back."
Shaun Ferguson's Renault Scenic collided with a car in which Eileen Lamb was a passenger at Old Hutton, Cumbria in April 2015.
Miss Lamb, from Endmoor, died 12 days later as a result of her injuries.
Ferguson, 22, of Ridge Square, Lancaster, was bailed and will return to Carlisle Crown Court for sentencing on 16 December.
Adjourning the case for background reports Mr Justice Davis told Ferguson he would be sentenced by a different judge.
He said: "There are options open to him that could see you conceivably go to prison."
How does the British immigration system currently work?
There are different ways to come to live or settle permanently in the UK.
Migrants fall into five broad categories: those coming for long-term work, students, temporary workers and visitors, refugees and asylum seekers and people arriving for family reasons.
There are different laws and policies governing each element of the system. For instance, on asylum, the UK has international obligations to provide refuge to people who have fled persecution. The most complicated part of the system is the broad criteria around economic migration.
How are economic migrants dealt with?
The rules for economic migration, which includes students, broadly divide migrants into two groups.
If a migrant is a citizen from one of the European Union's member states (or one of the other counties in the European Economic Area - EEA), then they are free to compete for jobs in the UK. They are not subject to immigration controls.
This is because the UK is part of the European free market under which goods, services and labour can freely move across borders. The rules mean that British workers can equally seek work and settle across the rest of the EU.
And what about if you come from elsewhere?
If you come from anywhere else, including Commonwealth nations, a migrant has to apply under one of the "tiers" that make up the Points Based System (PBS). Students are also covered by the PBS.
In short, the system awards points to migrants based on their skills, qualifications and experience. Putting it very simplistically, a young applicant with a doctorate and proof of high earnings will earn more points than someone who is less skilled - and therefore find it's easier for them to come to the UK.
The PBS has five "tiers". Tiers one and two cover highly skilled and skilled migrants respectively. Tier three was designed for unskilled workers but has never been implemented. Tier four covers students and the final tier covers a host of temporary workers and special categories. This graphic shows the categories of migrants from outside Europe:
So is the coalition scrapping this system?
No. But they are reforming it to meet their long-term goal. They want to reduce net immigration to "tens of thousands each year, not hundreds of thousands" over the lifetime of the Parliament.
Net immigration is the difference between those arriving and those leaving.
The government want to introduce an immigration cap to help achieve that goal and the first one is due to come into force in April 2011. This was a Conservative election pledge that was opposed by their coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats.
And how high is net immigration at the moment?
The latest official figures show that 196,000 more people came to the UK than left in 2009. That figure includes British citizens returning from living abroad and people from inside the EEA. In all, more than half a million people migrated to the UK in 2008 - and the figure has been rising over the long-term, in line with the experiences of many industrialised nations.
What were immigration levels like in the 1980s?
It is difficult to compare official figures for immigration from the 1980s to more recent numbers because the method for calculating them has changed. Since 1991, there has been an attempt to take account of people applying for asylum or those extending their short-term visa to stay more permanently.
According to the figures available, at the beginning of the 1980s the UK continued to see a net loss of migrants, as it had in the 1970s, with British citizens choosing to leave the UK. This wave of emigration peaked in 1981 when 108,000 British and EU citizens decided to leave and only 28,000 people arrived to settle in the UK.
But by 1983 more people were coming to live in the UK than were leaving. This reached a peak of 58,000 migrants in 1985, and the flow of people into the UK continued for every year for the rest of the decade, except 1988, setting a pattern that would continue into the 1990s.
So how will the government achieve its target?
Experts say that if the government is to hit its target of reducing net migration, it has to pull levers that will slow long-term immigration while, at the same time, take steps to increase the rate of emigration.
The only problem is that there are not that many levers that can be pulled. Some 15% of people moving into the UK are returning British citizens, so their movements cannot be affected - but they are counted in the statistics.
The government cannot block EEA nationals who make up about a third of all arrivals.
The remaining half - about 280,000 people - are long-term arrivals from the rest of the world. These are the people whose movements can be influenced by policy changes.
So what does the cap involve - and how does it work?
The immigration cap for non-EEA workers for the year from April 2011 is 21,700 - about 6,300 lower than in 2009.
Of those, 20,700 are tier two skilled migrants entering graduate occupations with a job offer and sponsorship.
The other 1,000 are people allowed in under a new "exceptional talent" route - people like scientists, academics and artists. The former tier one general route - open to highly skilled migrants without a job offer - will be closed.
However, these limits do not apply to a category of workers who come to the UK in an "intra-company transfer" with their multinational employer. In other words, there will be other people coming in over and above the 21,700 limit.
There will be a new minimum salary of £40,000 for firms using intra-company transfers (ICTs) for more than a year - but staff earning at least £24,000 would still be able to come for up to 12 months.
Immigration restrictions are being lifted for people earning more than £150,000 a year, while scientists will be given a "significant advantage" in their attempts to come to the UK to work.
So what else can the government do?
According to Professor David Metcalf, chairman of the government's Migration Advisory Committee, students from outside the EEA make up 60% of the migrants whose movements can be restricted. He said in his recent report that the government cannot meet its target by restricting workers alone.
The following graph shows how highly skilled and skilled workers from outside the EEA make up a small part of the number of people applying for visas - although bear in mind that not all of those counted below are permanent or long-term immigrants:
Home Secretary Theresa May says she is looking at how to cut their numbers - but it's not clear who will be targeted and whether the Liberal Democrats will accept restrictions.
She says her forthcoming consultation on students will focus on allowing in students who are studying for degrees or those joining "highly trusted" colleges. This is a controversial area. Languages colleges are big legitimate businesses - but it's widely accepted that there is also abuse where people use student visas as a means of coming to work in the UK. Another route that the home secretary will target is a mechanism that allows some students to take jobs at the end of their course.
What about family reunion?
Families make up the final 20% of migrants from outside the EEA - but curtailing their right to arrive will be difficult to achieve because of human rights law.
However, the government is also looking at measures to boost the numbers leaving the UK by restricting rights to settle or to extend a work visa. Mrs May says she wants to end the link between temporary migration for work - and permanent settlement.
What effect would a cap have?
It's very difficult to know before it has happened. A large number of businesses have complained that it could damage the economy - and Professor Metcalf has warned that there could be "serious long-term consequences for investment and job generation" if the restrictions on work visas were too tight.

Some patients at Worcestershire Royal Hospital are said to have been waiting up to 54 hours over the Christmas and New Year period.
One person died from cardiac arrest after waiting 35 hours and a second had an aneurysm and died despite treatment, the BBC understands.
The trust said it was not commenting.
Peter Pinfield, chairman of Healthwatch Worcestershire - the patient care watchdog for the county - has called for an investigation saying the public needed to know the reasons behind the delays.
There is no evidence to connect the deaths with winter pressures on the hospital.
More on this and other stories from Hereford and Worcester
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust said patient confidentiality prevented it from discussing the deaths, but added it had "robust plans" to maintain patient safety and emergency care.
John Freeman said his wife spent 38 hours on a trolley on New Year's Day following a stroke. He told BBC News there were many others in the same situation.
"My wife was stuck on a trolley right next to the fire doors on a corridor and she couldn't get any sleep because all the trolleys were banging into the fire doors going in and out, so they stuck her in the plaster room which is ridiculous," he said.
Robin Walker, Conservative MP for Worcester, said lengthy delays at accident and emergency were "unacceptable", and would be meeting Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt on Monday.
But he said a "significant expansion" of A&E was needed as it is now serving the whole of Worcestershire when it was built in the 1990s to just cater for people living in Worcester.
"What I really want it to make sure is, that we get the new management that have been brought in to run the trust working with the government to deliver that on the shortest possible timescale."
Meanwhile, a group campaigning to keep services at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch has disbanded after four-and-a-half years.
The Save the Alex group said it did not feel it was being listened to by bosses running Worcestershire's hospitals.
On Friday the trust launched a consultation on planned changes to acute hospital services in the county which could see more patients going from Redditch to Worcester for emergency treatment.
Neal Stote, Save the Alex chairman, said the consultation was "too little, too late".
"From a campaigning point of view we have lost," he said.
A spokesman for the trust said the model outlined in the consultation would provide safe and sustainable hospital services to residents for many years.
The 33-year-old defender's present deal was due to expire and he and other experienced players were warned they would have to take a pay cuts to stay.
But McManus told the Well website: "I'm delighted to be staying at Motherwell as I have thoroughly enjoyed my three years at the club.
"I enjoy the coaching and the people around the place are great."
McManus, who won 26 caps for Scotland and started his career with Celtic, joined Motherwell in 2013 after leaving Middlesbrough following loan spells with Bristol City.
He played 40 times this season as Well finished fifth in the Scottish Premiership.
Experienced players James McFadden, Scott McDonald, Steven Hammell and Keith Lasley have also all been offered new contracts on reduced terms.
Manager Mark McGhee said: "Stephen has been excellent and we're extremely pleased he has agreed to stay with us as we know he had offers from elsewhere.
"I firmly believe we were able to develop some of the talented younger players like Ben Hall because of his and the other experienced lads' influence.
"He has the knowledge and ability and will continue to be a huge asset for us.
"I look forward to working with him again in the coming seasons."
While Scotland's Martin Laird led on 10 under, former world number one and 14-time major champion Woods was last in a field of 132 and missed the cut.
The 39-year-old was playing in his first PGA Tour event of the season.
"I've got to keep this in perspective. Sometimes that's hard to do," said Woods, who finished on 13 over.
Struggling with his chipping, he carded six bogeys, two double bogeys, a triple bogey and two birdies in his second round at TPC Scottsdale.
Woods duffed one chip from greenside rough and flew another straight over the flag and into a bunker. He also struggled from the fairway, leaving a chip from 20 yards off the green short.
His previous worst round was an 81 in the 2002 Open at Muirfield, a round completed in a storm that made scoring difficult.
Woods, who carded a two-over-par 73 in his opening round, missed much of last season, including the Ryder Cup, after having back surgery in March 2014.
"We all have days like this," he said. "Unfortunately mine was in a public forum and a public setting, but we all have days like this and we take the good with the bad."
Laird, 32, who shot a second straight 66 in wet and windy conditions, said: "It was a very Scottish day today with the misty drizzle. The big thing was I drove well."
American Daniel Berger is two shots behind Laird on eight under, while another tour rookie, Justin Thomas, is third on seven under.
Phil Mickelson, a three-time winner in Phoenix, missed the cut after carding a second-round five-over 76.
Mr Castro, 81, formally assumed the presidency in 2008 - two years after replacing his ailing brother Fidel.
The Communist assembly, whose members ran for office unopposed, also chose Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez as Mr Castro's first vice-president.
Mr Diaz-Canel, 52, is widely seen as Raul Castro's successor.
On Sunday 86-year-old Fidel Castro - who was in power for five decades - made a rare public appearance at the opening session of the assembly in the capital Havana.
The Castros have been running Cuba under a one-party system since the 1959 revolution, which ousted the US-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.
Addressing the assembly following his re-election on Sunday, Raul Castro said: "This will be my last term."
He had earlier called for a two-term limit and age caps for political offices, including the presidency.
But it is the first time he publicly said he would be stepping aside in 2018.
During his years in power, Raul Castro eased some restrictions on personal freedoms by lifting bans on mobile phones and home computers, and abolished the need of citizens to buy expensive exit visas when travelling abroad as tourists.
However, in his speech, he stressed: "I was not chosen to be president to restore capitalism to Cuba. I was elected to defend, maintain and continue to perfect socialism, not destroy it.''
Cuba has struggled economically since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1991 and now relies heavily on the support of the left-wing government of Venezuela.
Havana's relationship with the US remains hostile - the two countries have no diplomatic relations and a decades-long American economic blockade is still in effect.
Until his promotion, Mr Diaz-Canel was one of the eight vice-presidents on the council of ministers.
An electrical engineer by training, he rose through the Communist party ranks in the provinces and at one time served as education minister.
He would succeed Raul Castro if he is unable to serve his second full term in office.
Earlier in the day Raul's arrival, together with Fidel, and was warmly greeted by more than 600 assembly members.
Foreign press was barred from the opening ceremony.
Before Sunday, Fidel Castro was last seen in public earlier this month. Correspondents say he appeared frail and stooped at the time.
Fidel Castro has given up all his official positions, except his post as the assembly's deputy leader.
The House of Commons Public Administration select committee said the service was needed because of the scale of the problems in the NHS.
The cross-party group of MPs said the current patient safety system was "too complicated" and "took too long".
It comes just weeks after the government announced it was considering setting up such a service.
Ministers conceded such changes may be needed following publication of the Morecambe Bay hospital inquiry into baby deaths.
The report revealed that 11 babies and one mother had died unnecessarily at Cumbria's Furness General Hospital, but the scandal had gone unchecked for years as patients fought to expose what was happening.
The committee said this and the Stafford Hospital scandal showed there should be no more delays.
It is estimated that there are 12,000 avoidable hospital deaths every year, and more than 10,000 serious incidents are reported to NHS England annually, including 338 "never events" such as surgery being carried out on the wrong part of the body.
Committee chairman Bernard Jenkin said for years it had been "evident that the NHS has urgent need of a simpler and more trusted system".
"There needs to be investigative capacity so that facts and evidence can be established early, without the need to find blame, and regardless of whether a complaint has been raised."
Currently responsibility for investigating patient safety is shared between the Care Quality Commission and Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman at a national level and local arrangements run by NHS trusts themselves.
Peter Walsh, of Action against Medical Accidents, said changes to the system were "much needed".
The Department of Health said it would respond in "due course".
In South Africa, the news was greeted warmly, particularly in Bloemfontein, home of the Cheetahs, and Port Elizabeth, home of the Kings. Having been dumped from next season's Super Rugby competition, the pair of them have been yanked from death's door.
If there's uncertainty surrounding the championship they're entering it's as nothing compared to the fears they had when extinction was beckoning. This is a victory for their fans and players.
Closer to home, there was confusion and doubt. Expansion seems to have happened at breakneck speed. Supporters are finding it hard to get their heads around it.
Fourteen teams in two conferences of seven? Why? Two weak South African sides? Again, why? What's the point?
How will throwing in two sides that have no connection with northern hemisphere rugby add to the competitive nature of the competition?
The Pro12 needs to be about genuine edge and rivalry. To many voicing their opinion on social media, this smacks of a watering-down of those very qualities. A manufactured solution to bringing in a few bob.
The bottom line in all of this is money. The main goal is not so much about strengthening the quality of the league - although that's obviously an aim - it's about getting access to new cash in the increasingly expensive world of professional rugby.
It's about getting more finance in an attempt at not being lapped by the truly moneyed clubs of England and France.
A deal was struck in Dublin on Tuesday to admit the Cheetahs and the Kings. Next week should bring a public announcement that the Pro14 has been born.
The fixture list could follow the week after next. The season will begin in early September.
The speed in which this plan has been put together is extraordinary. The South Africans have committed to a six-season deal and will deliver about £6m per season to the new league, mostly through their domestic television rights. It may be small-time money compared to the riches on offer in club rugby in England and France, but it's much needed.
It's a 50% increase on what the Pro12 currently makes from TV rights. It's £36m over six years.
There will be scepticism about the format - and, in some cases, outright condemnation and forecasts of the death of the league - but the finances of this have to be taken into consideration in any analysis. This league desperately needs to bring in more money.
Why is the cash so badly needed? Because the pro game is becoming wildly expensive and it's only heading in one direction.
With so much money in England and France, it's getting harder for the Scottish, Welsh and Irish teams to hold on to their marquee players. They need more financial firepower to either persuade a star to stay or persuade a player of similar ability to join.
When, for instance, Stuart Hogg won player of the year in the 2016 Six Nations, two things happened: he announced himself as a player of world stature while simultaneously making himself an attractive proposition for richer clubs.
The Scottish Rugby Union had to break the bank to keep Hogg at Glasgow Warriors as a consequence. This is the by-product of success. The unions in Wales and Ireland could tell similar tales.
Though nothing has happened as yet, the SRU will be anticipating a move from England or France for fly-half Finn Russell at some point. Every last penny helps the process of trying to keep their top players at home.
Three different structures have been mooted, but the two-conference system looks like the probable winner. Two groups of seven teams - two Irish, two Welsh and one each from Scotland, Italy and South Africa in each conference - play each other home and away. That's 12 games.
All teams from conference one play all teams from conference two. That's another seven games, making it 19. There will be two extra derby games on top of that - the 1872 Cup, for instance, will be a three-game affair - to bring the total to 21.
Then there's play-offs. This is not written in stone, but the top side from each conference advance to the semi-finals.
Teams placed second and third in each conference play each other to determine the other two semi-finalists. A South African side can win the Pro14 but cannot qualify to play in the Champions Cup.
Sources in South Africa say they're aware that the Cheetahs and the Kings have been dismal in Super Rugby and a repeat of their performance of recent seasons would do horrendous damage to those trying to rebrand the Pro14.
The South Africans intend to boost their teams' squads even if they have to move players from their other franchises. That may not happen in season one of the Pro14, but it should happen in season two and beyond.
By then, the Pro14 could look even more different. There is said to be a "70% chance" that an American franchise, possibly based in Washington, will join the competition next season.
This could be at the expense of Italians Zebre, who are in perpetual crisis. It was reported on Tuesday that their players have not been paid in two months. Zebre appear to be in an extremely parlous state.
We wait for the lawyers to pore over every last document, which will take place next week. Then the formal announcement will happen and the process of selling the new competition will begin.
The Pro14 will need a mountainous promotional budget on that front.
In South Africa, there may be relief at seeing their teams saved and excitement about seeing what they might achieve in the new competition, but here, the dominant mood is apprehension.
The Pro12 board has built a bridge to South Africa, but they're also going to have to break down a wall to convince many of their core supporters that this thing can work.
As one source said on Tuesday: "We know there are a lot of misgivings out there, but it's not a case of wanting this to succeed, it's a case of needing it to succeed.
"With the way the rugby world is going - with so much money in other leagues - there's no other option for any of us. We have to adapt and we have to make a success of this."
The Greens and Conservatives campaigned about transport infrastructure, while SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon continued her tour of the northern isles.
Elsewhere, Labour and the Lib Dems promoted their financial policies on education and council tax ahead of the election on 5 May.
Ruth Davidson got behind the wheel at the Knockhill race track, chasing down a red car - symbolising Labour - in her Tory blue vehicle.
The Scottish Conservative leader said Scotland's roads were in a "terrible state", calling for better infrastructure to keep the country moving.
She pledged £20m a year to fix potholes over the next parliament, from a special roads maintenance fund for local authorities.
Ms Davidson added: "It is one of the top doorstep issues and 80% of Scottish drivers say they've had to swerve to avoid a pothole in recent weeks - it's clear we need action to fix our roads infrastructure."
Green party co-convenor Patrick Harvie campaigned at a busy intersection in central Edinburgh while highlighting his party's call for improved bus services.
Mr Harvie ran a campaign called Better Buses during the last session of parliament, and said the Greens were taking the issue seriously.
He said: The SNP has ploughed extra millions into new motorways and dual carriageways while commuters and rural residents without access to a car are left behind.
"We need more electric or hybrid buses to reduce the air pollution harming public health, and we need a renovation programme for bus stations to make them attractive public spaces."
Nicola Sturgeon continued her tour of Orkney and Shetland by visiting Kirkwall.
The SNP leader said she was committed to devolving more powers to the islands, saying: "We want to work with our island communities to further empower them to make sure that the decisions that shape the lives of people living in Orkney and Shetland are taken here."
Ms Sturgeon also defended the memorandum of understanding she signed with a Chinese consortium which has been criticised over corruption allegations.
She said: "There is no agreement to invest, this is about exploring opportunities and if there are any specific proposals for investment then full due diligence will be done."
Kezia Dugdale promoted her plans for a new system of council tax while campaigning in Glasgow.
The Scottish Labour leader said the SNP had broken its promises to "scrap the unfair council tax", but said her party would make good on this pledge with a new system based on recalculated property values.
She said: "People deserve bold proposals from the next Scottish government, not broken promises.
"Labour's fair plans will see 80% of households pay less - that means the average household will be better off by £111."
Willie Rennie visited Step Change, a Glasgow charity which provides people with free financial advice.
The Scottish Lib Dem leader said his party would help families with the cost of early years care and support families through the education system while closing the "attainment" gap in school performance.
Mr Rennie aims to introduce a "targeted pupil premium", worth £1,400 for primary pupils from more deprived backgrounds, paid for by adding 1p to income tax bands.
He said: "We know that putting extra investment into education is crucial to raising attainment across the board and ensuring that people get the skills they need to thrive in the workplace."
Unemployment saw a "small" rise of 10,000 to 1.66 million, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
"These figures show that employment continued to grow over the summer and vacancies remain at high levels, suggesting continuing confidence in the economy," the ONS said.
Average weekly earnings grew by 2.3%, a slight fall from the previous month.
Businesses cautiously welcomed the employment figures, but said more was needed to help boost workers' pay as inflation starts to rise.
The CBI business group called the pay growth "lacklustre", saying it underlined the need for a "laser-like" focus on making companies more productive.
With the number of self-employed workers increasing by 273,000 to 4.79 million - 15% of all people in work - more should also be done to guarantee their pensions, mortgages and income protection, the Federation of Small Businesses said.
The total number of people in jobs remained at a record high of 31.8 million, the ONS figures showed.
Although there was a "small rise" in unemployment, it was accompanied by more people actively seeking work, ONS statistician Nick Palmer said.
Some of that rise came from more women looking for work. In the three months to August, 73.4% of women were either in work or seeking jobs, the highest rate since records began in 1971, the ONS said.
Employment Minister Damian Hinds welcomed the total jobs rate, but said: "There's more to do, particularly when it comes to supporting young people into employment."
Businesses and economists said the figures showed UK jobs had proved "resilient" since the Brexit vote.
However, some also argued that an easing in the pace of job creation suggested the labour market was slowing down.
Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Markit, said "cracks are appearing", as jobs growth dipped to 106,000, compared with the 174,000 jobs added in the three months to July.
The unemployment estimates come from the Labour Force Survey in which the ONS talks to 40,000 households.
Although it is a very large survey, there is still a margin of error. The ONS says it is 95% confident that the figure of a 10,000 rise in unemployment is correct to within 79,000.
As the estimated change is smaller than the margin of error, it means the change in unemployment is not statistically significant.
It's thought her costume caught fire while she was out trick-or-treating.
A Twitter user, who Newsbeat is not naming, has posted five messages including one which says: "What's your daughter's favourite dance? I'm guessing the #HotStep."
Another one says: "I fancy a bacon sarnie, extra crispy."
The account now appears to have been deleted.
It's thought eight-year-old Matilda's Halloween costume caught fire after it brushed against a candle flame.
Other Twitter users have also sent abusive messages about Claudia Winkleman.
In reply to the tweets, another user said: "At least she won't have to fork out for a Halloween costume next year....#ClaudiaWinkleman."
Another person wrote: "Claudia Winkleman isn't presenting Film 2014 tonight. I don't want to suggest her daughter being burned was a good thing, but..."
Twitter's own rules state that users "may not make direct, specific threats of violence against others, including threats against a person or group on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, age, or disability. Targeted abuse or harassment is also a violation of the Twitter Rules and Terms of Service".
A spokesman for the social media service told Newsbeat: "We review all reported accounts against our rules, which prohibit violent threats and targeted abuse."
Claudia Winkleman, 42, and her film producer husband Kris Thykier, who's also 42, said in a statement earlier this week that they were hopeful their daughter would get better quickly.
It said: "Matilda is having the best care possible and we are hopeful of a full recovery. We would like to thank everyone that has been so supportive."
Claudia Winkleman also used the statement about her daughter's burns to warn other people about the dangers of using or handling fireworks, especially at this time of year.
"We would like to remind anyone taking part in fireworks parties or Guy Fawkes celebrations to be vigilant about the dangers of candles, open fires and fireworks," she said.
"Please have the appropriate safety measures in place and to hand."
Claudia Winkleman misses her second lot of Strictly Come Dancing shows on Saturday and Sunday night.
It's unclear how long she'll be missing from the BBC One show.
Zoe Ball will again replace her on this weekend's episodes as she co-hosts with Tess Daly.
At the start of Saturday night's BBC One show, Tess Daly said: "Claudia can't be with us again this week.
"All our thoughts go out to her and her daughter and we're wishing her a speedy recovery."

Radiocarbon dating found the manuscript to be at least 1,370 years old, making it among the earliest in existence.
The pages of the Muslim holy text had remained unrecognised in the university library for almost a century.
The British Library's expert on such manuscripts, Dr Muhammad Isa Waley, said this "exciting discovery" would make Muslims "rejoice".
The manuscript had been kept with a collection of other Middle Eastern books and documents, without being identified as one of the oldest fragments of the Koran in the world.
When a PhD researcher, Alba Fedeli, looked more closely at these pages it was decided to carry out a radiocarbon dating test and the results were "startling".
The university's director of special collections, Susan Worrall, said researchers had not expected "in our wildest dreams" that it would be so old.
"Finding out we had one of the oldest fragments of the Koran in the whole world has been fantastically exciting."
The tests, carried out by the Oxford University Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit, showed that the fragments, written on sheep or goat skin, were among the very oldest surviving texts of the Koran.
These tests provide a range of dates, showing that, with a probability of more than 95%, the parchment was from between 568 and 645.
"They could well take us back to within a few years of the actual founding of Islam," said David Thomas, the university's professor of Christianity and Islam.
"According to Muslim tradition, the Prophet Muhammad received the revelations that form the Koran, the scripture of Islam, between the years 610 and 632, the year of his death."
Prof Thomas says the dating of the Birmingham folios would mean it was quite possible that the person who had written them would have been alive at the time of the Prophet Muhammad.
"The person who actually wrote it could well have known the Prophet Muhammad. He would have seen him probably, he would maybe have heard him preach. He may have known him personally - and that really is quite a thought to conjure with," he says.
Prof Thomas says that some of the passages of the Koran were written down on parchment, stone, palm leaves and the shoulder blades of camels - and a final version, collected in book form, was completed in about 650.
He says that "the parts of the Koran that are written on this parchment can, with a degree of confidence, be dated to less than two decades after Muhammad's death".
"These portions must have been in a form that is very close to the form of the Koran read today, supporting the view that the text has undergone little or no alteration and that it can be dated to a point very close to the time it was believed to be revealed."
The manuscript, written in "Hijazi script", an early form of written Arabic, becomes one of the oldest known fragments of the Koran.
Because radiocarbon dating creates a range of possible ages, there is a handful of other manuscripts in public and private collections which overlap. So this makes it impossible to say that any is definitively the oldest.
But the latest possible date of the Birmingham discovery - 645 - would put it among the very oldest.
Dr Waley, curator for such manuscripts at the British Library, said "these two folios, in a beautiful and surprisingly legible Hijazi hand, almost certainly date from the time of the first three caliphs".
The first three caliphs were leaders in the Muslim community between about 632 and 656.
Dr Waley says that under the third caliph, Uthman ibn Affan, copies of the "definitive edition" were distributed.
"The Muslim community was not wealthy enough to stockpile animal skins for decades, and to produce a complete Mushaf, or copy, of the Holy Koran required a great many of them."
Dr Waley suggests that the manuscript found by Birmingham is a "precious survivor" of a copy from that era or could be even earlier.
"In any case, this - along with the sheer beauty of the content and the surprisingly clear Hijazi script - is news to rejoice Muslim hearts."
The manuscript is part of the Mingana Collection of more than 3,000 Middle Eastern documents gathered in the 1920s by Alphonse Mingana, a Chaldean priest born near Mosul in modern-day Iraq.
He was sponsored to take collecting trips to the Middle East by Edward Cadbury, who was part of the chocolate-making dynasty.

The local Muslim community has already expressed its delight at the discovery in their city and the university says the manuscript will be put on public display.
"When I saw these pages I was very moved. There were tears of joy and emotion in my eyes. And I'm sure people from all over the UK will come to Birmingham to have a glimpse of these pages," said Muhammad Afzal, chairman of Birmingham Central Mosque.
The university says the Koran fragments will go on display in the Barber Institute in Birmingham in October.
Prof Thomas says it will show people in Birmingham that they have a "treasure that is second to none".

Alex-Marie Quinn had 65 other injuries, pathologist Prof Rupert Risdon told St Albans Crown Court.
Carl Wheatley, 31, from Hatfield, Hertfordshire, denies murder but admits Alex-Marie's manslaughter.
Concluding the bruise led to her death, Prof Risdon told the court he had never seen such an injury.
Prosecutors have alleged Mr Wheatley lost his temper and beat his daughter to death with "sustained persistent hard hitting". He had gained custody of her just a few months earlier.
Prof Risdon found 65 marks of injury across her body, head and arms but a "66th" area of bruising had caused Alex-Marie's death.
Bruising covered the lower body and legs from above her belly button ending shortly before her ankles, in the front and back.
Alex-Marie's soft tissue was damaged under the skin releasing a massive amount of fat cells into her blood stream, the court was told.
The cells then travelled to her lungs, blocking them and causing an embolism.
Prof Risdon said: "It's an unusual finding. I've never seen anything quite like it."
Jane Bickerstaff QC, defending, asked him to consider a "scenario" where the little girl had been repeatedly smacked over her clothing.
But, for a period of up to 36 hours before her death, she had not been hit anymore as she lay "moribund" on her mattress.
Prof Risdon said: "I find that scenario hard to accept because once the fat lodged in the lung the subsequent deterioration and demise would be fairly quick and not over a period of days."
Mr Wheatley denies murdering Alexa on 12 March 2014, but admits manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility. | New plans are out for the world's first lagoon power plants, to be built here in the UK.

Russia's Tetyana Dorovskikh took the 3,000m gold medal but tested positive for drug use in 1993.
Murray's husband, Tom Mooney, wrote to the IOC last year.
"Their view is that they can't prove that Dorovskikh was on drugs when competing at Seoul in 88 when she tested positive in 93," he said.
"Our view is that you don't start taking drugs after winning the numerous titles she had.
"It is quite sickening really and something that has to be addressed otherwise sport's going to die at the top end."
Having originally written to the IOC in June 2015, Murray's hopes of an upgrade increased when Russia was first accused by the World Anti-Doping Agency of "state-sponsored" doping in November.
"I thought, if we don't do something now, we never will and I decided to write to the IAAF, Sebastian Coe, the president, and Thomas Black, who's president of the International Olympic Committee," Mooney told BBC Scotland.
"Seb Coe got back to say it is really an IOC matter but he would raise it with them."
More than a year after his initial letter, Mooney has been left disappointed by the reply, which comes as Russia failed to overturn the ban imposed on its athletes competing at the forthcoming Olympics in Rio.
"Dorovskikh tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in 1993," he said. "Subsequent to that, she had won four world championship gold medals and three Olympic medals, including a gold medal in Yvonne's race in the 3,000m in 1988.
"It is something that has always been sore with Yvonne. She has always felt she should have been upgraded to at least a silver medal from the Games."
The rejection of Murray's appeal came in a letter from IOC director of legal affairs Howard Stupp.
"Over and above the issue of prescription (ie, the amount of time that has elapsed since the occurrence of the event in question), it is not acceptable to condemn someone for supposed behaviour in 1988 - which behaviour at that time has not been proven - based upon the behaviour of such person in 1992," he stated.
"Therefore, despite the fact that you may have reasonable grounds to be suspicious, we believe doing so would create an untenable precedent and would be contrary to the application of due process and natural justice.
"As a result, we do not feel we are in a position to proceed with any potential reallocation of the medal in question."
He and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) group had become "weak", and no longer threatened Uganda, it added.
The LRA was notorious for chopping off people's limbs and abducting children to use as soldiers and sex slaves.
Mr Kony, wanted on war crimes charges, first emerged in Uganda but fled more than a decade ago.
He and his fighters roamed the jungles of the Democratic Republic of Congo, before moving to CAR.
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for him in 2005, accusing him of war crimes.
Kony2012, a video made by US-based activists calling for the world to capture Kony, went viral in 2012.
The Ugandan army, backed by US special forces and African Union (AU) troops, have been searching for him in CAR since 2012.
The US withdrew its forces last month.
Several of the LRA's top commanders have surrendered, including Dominic Ongwen who is on trial at the ICC on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In a statement, Uganda's army said it had "successfully achieved" its mission to "neutralise" the LRA and its troops would withdraw from CAR.
"Joseph Kony with less than 100 armed fighters is now weak and ineffective. He no longer poses any significant threat to Uganda's security and northern Uganda in particular," it added.
The LRA was formed in Uganda more than two decades ago, and claimed to be fighting to install a government based on the Biblical 10 Commandments.
It operated mostly in the north, where hundreds of thousands of people were displaced by the conflict.
Authorities said more than 120 people had been moved, by order of a court. Activists said many of those forced out were children and new-born babies.
The local mayor admitted the crackdown was "completely catastrophic" for the families involved.
The government has pledged new efforts to integrate Roma.
There are an estimated 15,000 ethnic Roma living in illegal camps across France.
As police moved into the Saint-Priest camp near Lyon on Tuesday, Roma families walked off the site without any provision being made to rehouse them.
Women carried babes-in-arms, men hefted pushchairs loaded with belongings, and a crane was deployed to pick up empty caravans.
Martine David, the local mayor, admitted the Roma might just set up a new camp nearby.
"We are going round in circles," she said. "We can't offer them a permanent housing solution and I know there's a risk they will just set up another camp.
"On a human level, it is completely catastrophic but we just don't have the means to deal with this kind of situation."
Roma supporters said the local authorities were planning to put buildings up on the vacated land.
On Monday, around 70 people, including 19 children, were expelled from a Roma camp in a suburb of Paris, the AFP news agency reported.
In 2010, the government of conservative ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2010 embarked on a major clearance programme, which sparked a row between France and Romania and was condemned by the European Commission.
The new Socialist government of President Francois Hollande has defended the policy of knocking down squalid camps, and giving Roma financial incentives to return to their home countries.
But last week it also promised to ease their plight, proposing to widen job opportunities by easing restrictions on immigrants from Romania and Bulgaria, and cancel a tax levied on employers who hire them.
The UN says 34 people were killed in the raid at Camp Ashraf, in Diyala province, in April 2011.
Judge Fernando Andreu has summoned Gen Ali Ghaidan Majid, the head of army, and two other officers to appear.
He is investigating allegations that crimes against humanity were committed during the raid on the camp.
The investigation is an enlargement of an existing probe on a separate raid which took place at the camp in July 2009, in which 11 people were killed.
Universal justice
Under Spain's universal justice doctrine, grave crimes committed in other countries can be prosecuted.
Judge Andreu said that the Geneva Convention applied to the case, as it addresses the protection of civilians in wartime and all those killed and injured in the attack were considered "protected persons" under the terms of the Convention.
According to documents released by Madrid's investigative court, a total of 377 "protected persons" were injured in the 8 April 2011 raid, 154 with bullet wounds.
More than 3,000 members of the banned opposition group, the People's Mujahideen of Iran (PMOI), have been confined by the US military at the camp since the invasion in 2003.
The group, considered a terrorist group by the US and Iran, were given permission to shelter in Iraq by former President Saddam Hussein during the 1980-88 war between the two countries and they have lived at the camp ever since.
In January, the judge had said he would close the dossier into the July 2009 attack if the Iraqi authorities opened their own investigation.
Iraq responded by saying it had carried out its own legal inquiry but this was not judged sufficient by Spanish authorities.
The three Iraqi officers have been summoned to appear before the Madrid court on 3 October 2011.
That seat was Basildon, the spiritual home of "Essex Man" and time-proven bellwether of political meteorology.
The rule was simple: win Basildon, form the next government. It had been that way since 1974.
Lured by a range of policies such as "right to buy", blue-collared Essex Man flocked to Thatcher in the 1980s. With his support, she won again and again.
The importance of Essex Man was not lost on Tony Blair, who, during the 1990s, heralded the age of "Mondeo Man", the self-employed working man with a new mid-range motor car on the driveway.
But Basildon - the constituency - is no more after boundary changes in 2010. South Basildon and East Thurrock perhaps best represents the old seat, though UKIP is now firmly in the running there, and elsewhere.
There are now five key seats to watch in Essex during the early hours of 8 May.
Each could give clue as to who will be sitting on the government side of the green benches of Westminster:
This is UK target seat number two for Labour. The Conservatives' Jackie Doyle-Price won by just 92 votes in 2010, only the second time the Tories have won Thurrock in the past 40 years (the Conservatives won in 1987).
Labour has a high-profile candidate in former Ed Miliband adviser and BBC journalist Polly Billington. This industrial South Essex constituency, which borders London and is split by the M25, has become an three-way ultra-marginal.
UKIP has entered the fray, and in the last constituency poll carried out by Lord Ashcroft in July 2014, its candidate Tim Aker led on 36%, with Labour on 30% and the Conservatives on 28%. All three parties are pumping resources into Thurrock and have been campaigning full-time since January.
Conservative cabinet ministers from Theresa May to George Osborne and Labour-supporting celebrities like Brian May and Eddie Izzard have joined the candidates campaigning. Nigel Farage addressed an audience of more than 1,000 local people last month - the largest public political rally seen in Essex in years.
The stakes couldn't be higher, and the tension between the three, when in the same room before a local BBC Essex debate, palpable.
A full list of candidates for Thurrock can be found here.
This is a fascinating seat. It has the fifth-highest level of home ownership in England and very high employment levels - one in 10 work in finance and insurance. Around South Benfleet there are homes that would not look out of place in Beverly Hills.
But there is also a large proportion of construction and blue-collar workers, a very low number of ethnic minorities and a below-average university- educated population. This demographic mix has, in the last two years, has seen a meteoric rise of UKIP support with one recent local poll putting the party one point behind the Conservatives.
Mr Farage chose Canvey Island to launch UKIP's election campaign in February. The Conservatives are confident they can keep the seat and have an experienced team backing-up Rebecca Harris for a second term. But UKIP has an energetic and charismatic candidate in Jamie Huntman who could cause one of the biggest Conservative upsets of the night.
A full list of candidates for Castle Point can be found here.
In 1997, this was a new three-way marginal which the Liberal Democrats won. Five elections on, the north Essex garrison town has become a Lib Dem safe seat and candidate Sir Bob Russell is defending a 7,000 majority.
Conservative candidate Will Quince is standing for a second time and has had many high-profile Tories campaigning with him. This is one of the 23 seats the Tories say they need to win to form a majority government.
On his second visit to Colchester in as many months, Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg accused the Conservatives of trying to buy the election here by using campaign money from hedge-funders. Mr Quince says he is spending within the rules.
The Lib Dems are incredibly well-organised in Colchester and run the council with Labour. You still see as many, if not more, of their banners outside houses than for any other party. If the Lib Dems lose Colchester they are in very serious trouble.
A full list of candidates for Colchester can be found here.
Labour needs to win this seat to form a majority government. In 2012, it took control of the council from the Conservatives and unemployment in Harlow, a largely working-class town, remains above the national average.
Around the shopping precinct, a lot of people have told me they wouldn't vote Conservative or for David Cameron. But when you mention Robert Halfon, the Conservative candidate, most think he has been good for the town.
Mr Halfon successfully campaigned to cut fuel duty and the prime minister is said to have called him "the most expensive MP in Parliament". UKIP has picked up his policy to cut NHS car parking charges for their manifesto.
All this makes Labour candidate Suzy Stride's task much harder. Labour seems to be focusing more resources on Thurrock than Harlow. An Ashcroft poll gave Mr Halfon a 10-point lead over Labour. If this is the result on 7 May it will be an impressive Conservative hold in a marginal seat.
A full list of candidates for Harlow can be found here.
This is the seat that most closely represents the old infamous national bellwether. UKIP had high hopes after significant local council gains, but has problems including a saga over their candidate selection process in December.
The Conservatives are quietly confident that Stephen Metcalfe will hold the seat.
But Labour tells me locally it is gaining momentum and that from local canvassing it has moved back into second place ahead of UKIP. South Basildon and East Thurrock could still be the bellwether between the two largest parties in 2015.

Police were called to Monmouth Road, Usk, at 15:45 BST on Wednesday where Julian Lodge, 43, from Bristol, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The bus driver and two passengers were left shaken but unhurt.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Gwent Police.
The closures from 22:00 BST on Friday at the Posthouse roundabout are part of £6m layout changes.
The A55 under the roundabout will be closed in both directions until 07:00 BST on Sunday, while the west bridge will be shut until 05:00 on Monday.
The roundabout will also be partially closed until Monday morning.
Work began last summer and was expected to finish by March but it has now been pushed back to 28 June.
The new Bulmershe School building, based in Woodley, Reading, was unveiled by Wokingham borough mayor UllaKarin Clark. It boasts a 400-seat auditorium.
It also houses six classrooms with computer workstations, a sixth form centre, meeting rooms, reception area and administration offices.
Councillor Rob Stanton, who is chairman of the school's project board, said "every detail" had been debated.
He added: "We've planned and planned for these new facilities... but there's nothing quite like seeing it up and running [and] seeing just how much of a difference it will make to this school."
The borough council has invested £6m in the school in the past three years to improve standards.
Head teacher Emma Reynolds said the auditorium and "21st Century learning environment" represented "further superb opportunities" for students.
Stephen Gough lost an appeal against a conviction for the breach of an Asbo.
He appeared from Winchester Prison where he is serving a two-and-a-half-year sentence for breaching the order banning him from being naked in public.
His counsel Matthew Scott argued Gough should have been allowed to appear naked at the original trial.
Lady Justice Rafferty refused Gough's appeal.
Clive Coleman, the BBC's legal affairs correspondent, said Gough, 56, almost certainly made legal history by appearing in his natural state.
Gough was found guilty by a jury at Winchester Crown Court of breaching the Asbo in October 2014 and sentenced to 30 months imprisonment.
He had refused to put on clothes as he left Winchester Prison after being imprisoned for a previous breach.
At his trial, the judge refused his requests to appear naked and he was tried in his absence.
Mr Scott argued at the Court of Appeal the judge should have made arrangements to allow the trial to take place with the defendant present, but naked.
On the video link, he appeared seated and naked at the prison, with his lower half obscured by a table.
Gough was dubbed the naked rambler after completing a nude trek from Land's End to John O'Groats in 2003.
He has faced repeated convictions and prison spells totalling about eight years.
He has previously argued there was nothing intimidating about him appearing "in his natural human state".
The report and drawings will be exhibited at St Peter's Church on Cambridge Road until Saturday.
Plans could include a five star hotel and spa, outdoor cafes, improved public transport, pedestrianised areas and a casino.
Harrogate Councillor Michael Harrison said the public view would be taken into account so the drafts could be refined.
Planning consultants from Peter Brett Associates will be at the exhibition on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 January to answer questions.
The proposal has been put together based on a survey of 100 town centre businesses and 300 shoppers who were asked how it could be improved.
A six-week public consultation is to be held later in the year.
Mr Harrison said a redevelopment strategy was essential to Harrogate's success.
"We've got a tourist and a conference offering but we need a leisure offering," he said.
"It's how those things sit together, and what could be done to connect the railway station with different parts of the town centre."
Harrogate District Council's principle planner James Langler said improving the area around the train station was a "long-term aspiration" for the council, as was a more usable public square.
A council spokesperson said there were no costings for the project because it was at an early stage in the process.
"We will not be able to produce an accurate estimate of costs until the master plan and strategy has been developed further," the council said.
The Chemist tells the story of an ex-US government agent on the run who has to take on one last job.
Meyer's Twilight novels about teenager Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen, later turned into films starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, sold 155 million copies.
Her last adult novel, The Host, was released in 2009.
Writing on her website, Meyer said she was "looking forward" to sharing The Chemist with her fans - once she had finished the editing process.
Publishers Little, Brown said the book, released in November, tells the story of a "fierce and fascinating new heroine with a very specialised skill set".
Meyer told the Wall Street Journal: "The Chemist is the love child created from the union of my romantic sensibilities and my obsession with Jason Bourne/Aaron Cross [from the Bourne series of films].
"I very much enjoyed spending time with a different kind of action hero, one whose primary weapon isn't a gun or a knife or bulging muscles, but rather her brain."
Meyer released Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined last year, which switched the genders of the series' protagonists.

Benteke, 25, was signed by former Reds boss Brendan Rodgers for £32.5m, but started just eight league games after German Klopp was appointed in October.
"I still have a contract at Liverpool and I'd like to stay there, if I remain in the coach's plans," he said.
"If that's not the case, it will become difficult to stay."
The Belgium striker, who is currently preparing for Euro 2016 in France, added: "When Klopp arrived I saw that I wasn't in his plans. That was frustrating because I knew that during my first season at Aston Villa he wanted me.
"But we had several discussions together - I respect and I understand his decisions. I'll think about if after the Euros."
The Leone Stars have not been seen at African football's flagship tournament since the 1996 finals in South Africa.
But Bangura is confident they have enough quality to emerge from a group that includes four-time champions Ghana, Kenya and Ethiopia.
They kicked off their campaign for the 2019 edition with a 2-1 win over the Harambee Stars and lie second on the table behind the Black Stars on goal difference.
"I'm confident that with good preparation we'll qualify for the Afcon finals," said Bangura who plays for Swiss club FC Zurich.
The 29-year-old defender added: "We don't want any late preparations.
I'd like to be the captain that leads Leone Stars back to the Afcon finals
"We want players to be available at the right time for early training and play friendly matches against top-class African teams.
"I'm calling on the Sierra Leone FA and sports ministry to prepare us well for the remaining fixtures."
Bangura will go into the Leone Stars' next match against Ethiopia buoyed by a Presidential medal he received recently for services to the national team.
The honour, bestowed upon him by President Ernest Bai Koroma, saw Bangura join a small group that includes the legendary Mohamed Kallon and the country's longest serving captain Umaru Deen Sesay.
Asked if he saw the medal as a source of inspiration in the future, Bangura said: "Yes, it's a great honour to receive such a medal from the Head of State and this will inspire me to fight harder to qualify for the next Afcon finals.
"I'd like to be the captain that leads Leone Stars back to the Afcon finals after an absence of over two decades."
Bangura who helped FC Zurich gain promotion to the Swiss top flight last month, said the Leone Stars are a better team than they have been made out to be and would prove difficult opponents for the teams in Group F.
But he said the team's progress depends on a harmonious relationship between the Sierra Leone FA and the sports ministry.
"I'm pleading with both the SLFA and sports ministry to maintain peace between them as that will help us a lot.
"We've suffered in the past [because of quarrels between the two bodies] and don't want a repeat of it," said Bangura, who made his Leone Stars debut against Mali in 2006 before taking over as skipper eight years later.
The Belgian paper La Libre carries the front-page headline "EU: And in the end, it's Cameron who wins".
"Except that what is considered to be good by London is not necessarily good for Europe," the paper notes wryly.
A headline in Le Monde spells out what many in Europe warn will be the outcome of the deal.
"Brexit-avoiding deal opens the way for an 'a la carte' Europe", it says.
The paper's Brussels correspondents, Cecile Ducourtieux and Jean-Pierre Stroobants, conclude that the outcome of "a more laborious and dramatic" negotiation process than anyone had expected was in the end "a success for the British Conservative leader".
However, the writers say that Mr Cameron's gain came at the expense of European unity, and that "the divisions and lack of solidarity among the member states have never before seemed so deep".
The French paper Le Figaro says that an agreement was finally secured by means of "a war of attrition, a sleep war".
Germany's Die Welt notes that "The drama lasted longer than expected, but David Cameron finally got his 'deal'". The paper adds that "in the end, he got almost everything", and only had to compromise over a few details.
The German news website Grenzecho.net says that the deal for Britain has allowed the EU "to avert a life-threatening crisis".
Italy's La Repubblica notes that "David Cameron can rejoice because he takes home a 'yes' to most of the demands he made."
Another Italian paper, Il Sole 24 Ore, says that "a difficult agreement" was reached after 24 hours of "extremely tough negotiations".
A separate commentary in the paper by Marina Castellaneta warns that the concessions granted to Britain, especially those affecting the mobility of workers within Europe, "can only hinder the functioning of the Union".
One of the harshest judgements on Mr Cameron's summit deal comes from the left-of-centre Hungarian paper Nepszava, which in an article headlined "Brexit and the populists", says that "This week Cameron expected the European Council to start dismantling the already dilapidated edifice of the Union on account of his irresponsibility. And we watch all this helplessly."
Many papers also note that for Mr Cameron, the struggle is not yet over.
"Cameron has his agreement," says the Czech news website Aktualne.cz, adding that "Now he has to persuade the British that they want to remain in the EU under the new conditions".
The Czech financial paper Hospodarske noviny says that the deal reached at the summit gives Mr Cameron a good basis on which to campaign for a Yes vote in the referendum.
"European politicians found a compromise. Cameron considers the agreement to be reason enough to keep Britain in the Union", a headline in the paper reads.
However, the Hungarian news website Napi.hu warns that Cameron still has to convince the Eurosceptics within his own party.
"Brexit: The eurosceptics don't like the deal", a headline on the website reads.

Children from Poland, England, Italy, Netherlands and Ireland, came together for three days of amputee football training from qualified coaches.
Amputee football is a sport played with seven players on each team. Outfield players may have two hands but only one leg, whereas goalkeepers may have two feet but only one hand.
The aim of the academy, run by the European Amputee Football Federation, was to give young footballers with missing limbs a chance to learn new sporting skills.
Leah went to meet some of the footballers taking part.

The 29-year-old flanker, who has spent his entire career with Quins, has skippered the national side since 2012 but came in for criticism following their pool-stage exit at the World Cup.
Robshaw was also Harlequins captain between 2010 and 2014 and led the club to the Premiership title in 2012.
He said he was "honoured" to extend his stay at the Stoop, although the length of his new deal has not been disclosed.
Robshaw came through the south-west London club's academy and has made 210 appearances since his first-team debut in 2005.
"The club feels like an extended family to me with its amazing players, management and supporters," he said.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds and I'm extremely excited to keep pushing for silverware with both Harlequins and England."
Robshaw won the first of his 43 caps for England against Argentina in 2009 and has been captain since making his second international appearance.
However, he was criticised during this year's World Cup for turning down the chance to kick a late penalty in the 28-25 defeat by Wales.
Quins director of rugby Conor O'Shea said Robshaw had "everything you want in a rugby player".
"Chris has achieved incredible things in his career to date," the Irishman told the club website. "He deserves recognition for what he has done, and will continue to do, for this game.
"I'm sure everyone at Harlequins will be delighted with this announcement and will look forward to seeing Chris playing in a Harlequins and England shirt for many years to come."
The 27-year-old has progressed through the academy at the club and has taken 14 wickets so far in the County Championship this season.
He has played in two ODI and two Twenty20 internationals for England but has not featured in the national side since 2012.
"I am very happy to have signed a new contract," he told BBC Surrey.
"It has been a tough couple of years for me with injuries but I have worked really hard for this contract and I am delighted to get it."
Director of cricket Alec Stewart added: "The last eighteen months have been difficult for Stuart but he has returned to the side in recent weeks and shown us what he's capable of.
"He is committed to performing for Surrey and I am very happy that he has signed this new contract."

He told the BBC there would be a "very constructive dialogue" with the US and China, as the UK prepares for life after Brexit.
Mr Hammond was speaking as he hosted a Chinese delegation in London to discuss future infrastructure investment.
Mr Glanville won 69% of the votes cast and was already acting mayor.
Prior to Thursday's by-election he had been deputy mayor of the borough.
Green Party candidate Samir Jeraj came second in the election with 13%.
Labour currently control the borough of Hackney with a majority of 43 seats.
The by-election was called after former Hackney mayor Jules Pipe stood down after 14 years.
Mr Pipe will work with London mayor Sadiq Khan in City Hall as the city's deputy mayor for planning, regeneration and skills.
Tim Passmore appeared before the Home Affairs select committee and was questioned about his £1.7m budget.
Keith Vaz MP, committee chairman, suggested there had been almost a doubling of costs since the change from the old Suffolk Police Authority.
Mr Passmore said that was incorrect and the costs had actually gone down by £100,000 since his election last year.
Mr Vaz said to Mr Passmore: "You employ nine people, but your total office cost is £1.7m and that's a 48% increase on the previous police committee."
Mr Passmore replied: "The cost of the office is actually over £100,000 less than the previous police authority.
"I can assure you nobody is being paid any extra and there have been no other appointments at all on top of what I inherited from the police authority, which is something we're looking at at the moment."
Mr Passmore's office said there was a 48% increase in his total budget, but it was due to the inclusion of the £600,000 Community Safety Fund, which came from the government.
This fund was not included in the old police authority budget.
Basharat Hussain of no fixed abode, was arrested at Manchester Airport by South Yorkshire Police as part of an investigation into allegations of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.
The offences are alleged to have been committed between 1996 and 2001.
He was remanded in custody to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on 7 September.
Mr Hussain was arrested on suspicion of gross indecency towards a child, inciting a child to commit gross indecency, procuring a female to have sex with a man, indecent assault, rape, false imprisonment and procuring a female to become a prostitute.
Around 3,000 people attended the shows, which were held on the street he immortalised in the album Astral Weeks.
The concerts are the climax of the EastSide Arts Festival and fans travelled from across the world to attend the gigs.
Morrison played hits including Moondance, Brown Eyed Girl and Baby Please Don't Go.
Among the thousands in the crowd were politicians and celebrities, including Robert Pattinson, Kim Cattrall and crime writer Ian Rankin.
Rick Haught, 57, from Eugene, Oregon, travelled to Belfast with his wife Carla for the first concert.
"I'd be lying if I told you when I stepped onto Cyprus Avenue I didn't get goosebumps," he said.
"I always wanted to see Van in Belfast, but to see him on his birthday on this street is something special."
Morrison was born a short distance from Cyprus Avenue, on Hyndford Street, on 31 August 1945.
He has described the avenue as a "very mystical place".
"It was a whole avenue lined with trees and I found it a place where I could think," he said.
Cyprus Avenue is best known for a pair of songs from his 1968 album Astral Weeks.
The song Cyprus Avenue closes side one of the album, while the street is also mentioned in the famous opening to Madame George on side two.
You can listen back to Van Morrison's first Cyprus Avenue concert on BBC Radio Ulster online, while BBC One Northern Ireland will screen it on Friday 4 September at 22:35 BST.
The 26-year-old has won 44 caps for Australia and has been playing Top 14 rugby in France since 2015.
O'Connor was arrested in Paris, and subsequently suspended by his club in February for drug offences but has since returned to playing.
"He is a world-class, versatile back that will add a lot to our game," said Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond.
"He is the type of player that, alongside a group of incredibly talented home grown lads, will help us a club to push on and achieve the vision of our owners Simon Orange and Ged Mason."
O'Connor has previously played in the Premiership for London Irish and also has Super Rugby experience in the southern hemisphere with Western Force, Melbourne Rebels and Queensland Reds.
Although O'Connor can play a number of positions, BBC Sport understands Sale have signed him to play primarily at fly-half next season.
"I have no doubt Steve Diamond and the coaching staff at Sale will help O'Connor channel his talent to help him and the club achieve something really special, and I know he is looking forward to getting started with the lads," said co-owner Orange.
"We have put down good foundations and we are excited to see James O'Connor add that extra bit of sparkle we have been looking for."

But as minerals prices plunge, investing in agriculture is now seen as the key to reducing poverty in one of the world's least developed nations.
Kennedy Gondwe reports from Lubumbashi:
It will give users greater control over their privacy settings and will also introduce a new smart wallet service called Android Pay.
The firm also unveiled a new photos and video storage app with "unlimited" free storage and an updated version of its Cardboard virtual reality headset.
But there was no new hardware from its Nest "internet of things" division.
"Google I/O lacked the headline announcements of recent years but nonetheless underlined the company's ecosystem advantage by virtue of the Android installed base, user knowledge, machine learning and highly integrated services," commented Geoff Blaber, from the tech consultancy CCS Insight.
The new mobile system, which is codenamed Android M, addresses concerns about third-party apps' access to smartphone and tablet data by making it easier for users to control the permissions given to each app.
In the future, apps will ask to be allowed access to location data, contacts, calendar, camera, microphone and other sensors the first time they need to use them, rather than at the point of installation.
In addition, users can later go into their settings and see what permissions each app is using and revoke the ones they are not happy with.
Android M will also allow fingerprints to be used as ID checks for purchases made through websites and in physical stores, where devices can be used in the place of payment cards via a new service called Android Pay.
The firm has attempted to get people to use smartphones to make real-world tap-and-go payments in the past with Google Wallet.
However, it suggested that the new Android Pay facility was superior as users would not need to open up a special app to make a transaction.
"In March in the US only 7% of Android users used mobile payments," noted KWP Comtech analyst Carolina Milanesi.
"Android Pay's easier user interface will help, but there's a long way to go."
Android M should also extend battery life.
This will be achieved via a new feature called Doze, which will suspend apps if a device's sensors indicate it is not being handled. Notifications and alarms, however, will continue to function.
The firm said tests indicated that its Nexus 9 tablet could last up to two times longer between charges as a result.
Many of the other announcements made at the I/O developers conference in San Francisco extended beyond Android.
They include the promise of superior voice recognition for the firm's search tools, including better handling of mispronounced words and conversational requests.
Google Maps users were also promised the ability to get turn-by-turn directions and destination reviews and opening times while offline, so long as the areas involved were downloaded in advance.
That function will not become available until later in the year.
But a new app unveiled at I/O, called Google Photos, is already available for download.
The software - which runs on both Android and iOS - automatically organises user's pictures and self-made movies, which are stored on Google's computer servers.
The app can suggest and create montages set to music, and create links that allow others to see streams of selected images.
Users can save an unlimited amount of photos, up to 16 megapixels in quality, and videos, up to 1080p HD resolution, without charge.
It could pose a challenge to Apple's rival Photos app, which charges consumers who need more than five gigabytes of online storage, and Yahoo's Flickr, which has a one terabyte limit.
"It's little wonder Google is has offered unlimited storage on its new photos platform," said Mr Blaber.
"Photos are becoming a hugely valuable asset to companies like Google and Facebook.
"As techniques such as image analytics, auto tagging, face detection and machine vision improve, the information that can be derived from a simple photo is immense. By default it means images are of clear value to companies driven by targeted ad-sales."
Wide ranging changes are also being made to the Google Play store, many of which are designed to make it more "family friendly".

Google also updated Cardboard - its low-budget virtual reality headset made out of a cardboard structure fitted with special lenses, which uses a smartphone as a screen.
The fold-to-create device is now easier to assemble and can support larger phones with up to 6in (15.2cm) displays.
The software required can now run on iOS in addition to Android.
A single smartphone or tablet can now be used to control the footage streamed simultaneously to dozens of Cardboard kits. Google suggested this could make it a useful teaching tool in schools.
In addition, it announced a tie-up with the action camera-maker GoPro to create a device that can capture 360-degree panoramas in a new format called Jump.
The software that stitches together the captured views includes information about depth, which the firm said resulted in a virtual reality experience with a more realistic sense of perspective than existing alternatives.
Jump-enabled footage should become available via YouTube over the coming months.
"Google hasn't given us a cost for this Jump setup, but there are definitely a lot of makers of [expensive] VR capture equipment nervous right now," tweeted Tim Stevens, Cnet's editor-at-large, in response.
A hugely discursive two hour keynote reflected the breadth of Google's ever-expanding ambitions.
Its focus on the mobile experience was no surprise, heralding a new, refined version of Android.
Features like a revised payment system and support for fingerprint authentication bring it up to speed with Apple.
Offline maps will be a boon, especially in the developing world, where mobile data is often expensive and coverage patchy.
But Google was also at pains to lay out its vision beyond the mobile experience we know of today.
So far its emphasis on wearables has concentrated on smartwatches - where development continues apace - and the Glass headset, which is being reworked.
But the Silicon Valley behemoth sees entirely new opportunities for us to interact with our environment in completely novel ways via virtual reality.
Seeing the world in immersive 360-degree VR gives users an entirely new genre of experience - and after helping kickstart the field with its Cardboard headset last year, Google has now reinforced its intention to be at the forefront of arena.
It will no doubt hope to monetise the effort in time.
Google products chief Sundar Pichai also provided details about Brillo - a forthcoming Android-based operating system for "internet of things" devices, such as smart door knobs, thermostats and fridges.
It will help device makers connect their gear to the internet without having to create their own OS, or requiring as much processor power and memory as the full Android system would need.
But it is not the only firm to have pitched such an idea.
In October, the chip designer ARM announced mbed OS as an alternative solution.
"The problem with IoT standards is how many there are to choose from," commented Benedict Evans from the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
"Brillo looks sensible. But this is a slow burn."
The 24-year-old Dubliner, who swept the boards with three trophies at Wolves' end-of-season awards night on Tuesday, is yet to be capped by his country.
But the former Under-21 was in Martin O'Neill's squad for the friendlies in March against Switzerland and Slovakia.
"It very much depends on the manager's thinking," Jackett told BBC WM.
"But the fact that he has been involved is a credit to him. It shows he is being thought of by Martin O'Neill and long may it continue."
O'Neill must name his squad for France by 31 May.
"It does seem as if maybe injuries would bring him in but he's earned that and I hope it works out for him," added the Wolves head coach.
"Looking back on his season, he can think positively, as he's shown he has the ability to play on either side, which is a strength, particularly for us when you're thinking the emergency loan window isn't available to us and he can be pleased with himself.
"Most importantly looking forward now, at 24 years old, he's got his best years ahead of him and hopefully his best years for Wolves."
Doherty was voted Wolves Player of the Season, Players' Player of the Season and also won the club's Goal of the Season award, for his long-range strike in the 3-2 win against Fulham in January.
Fit-again Wolves team-mate Dave Edwards is also a contender for one of the midfield berths in the Wales squad.
"Matt Doherty was a deserving winner of his three Wolves end-of-season awards. In a campaign that was largely unfulfilling for most concerned with the club, he established himself as a regular and dependable member of the defence.
"Moved from right to left-back for most of the second half of the season, Doherty appeared to have little trouble settling into his new position, adding life to Wolves' attacks. He was unlucky not to score more than the two goals he managed.
"Whether that form will have done enough to put the thoughtful young Irishman into his country's squad for the European Championships remains to be seen but, at 24, he has plenty of time ahead, and if his current progress continues such opportunities are sure to come his way eventually."
Mr Rajapaksa told BBC Sinhala he was confident of winning more than half the seats in parliament.
He is hoping to become prime minister, but the result is far from clear-cut.
A Rajapaksa win would mean an uneasy cohabitation with party rival Maithripala Sirisena, who beat him in presidential elections in January.
Their Sri Lanka Freedom Party remains divided over the two men - the president failed to stop his predecessor from standing as a party candidate in the polls.
Mr Rajapaksa was giving his first BBC interview since he was elected president in 2005 - relations during his nine years in power were strained over accusations of human rights abuses and media freedoms being curtailed.
"Clearly we will secure 117 seats," he told BBC Sinhala.
He rejected claims by the current Prime Minister, Ranil Wickramasinghe, that his campaign was in disarray.
But not everybody seems to agree with Mr Rajapaksa's optimistic assessment of how votes will be cast.
Many analysts think both Mr Wickramasinghe's United National Party (UNP)-led governing coalition and Mr Rajapaksa's United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) will struggle to secure an outright majority in the 225-member parliament.
In fact Mr Rajapaksa's close allies do not seem to share his view either.
A close relative of Mr Rajapaksa privately told me that they are expecting about 105 seats. The general secretary of the UPFA told the BBC's Azzam Ameen in Colombo that it may not be easy for any of the main parties to secure an outright majority.
Perhaps it is because of that concern that Mr Rajapaksa has changed his tough approach towards the media, including the BBC.
After nearly a decade of strained relations, Mr Rajapaksa, however, was friendly and even laughed while he answered questions.
He said he does not regret any of the policy decisions he took while in power - apart from one.
"Calling an election two years ahead of schedule, I think, was a wrong decision," he said.
"I haven't done anything else for me to regret."
He strongly defended the controversial impeachment that ousted Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranaike in January 2014. The move was heavily criticised by the international community and legal watchdogs as an authoritarian and undermining the rule of law.
"We did everything as per constitutional provisions," he said.
And he bristled when questioned about his amendment to the constitution that removed the two-term limit on the president.
"People know very well how long one should be allowed to stay. I believe we should allow the public to decide."
Perhaps most controversially, Mr Rajapaksa also accused his successors of not doing enough to investigate killings and abductions that occurred during his tenure.
The killing of senior journalist Lasantha Wickramatunga, a fierce critic of Mr Rajapaksa, shocked the world in 2009.
"The same Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe has publicly accused a certain person of murdering Lasantha. Now they can investigate. They were in power for six months," Mr Rajapaksa said.
The same argument applies to the disappearance of cartoonist Prageeth Eknaligoda, said the former president.
Mr Eknaligoda, a political columnist and another strong critic of Mr Rajapaksa, has been missing since January 2010.
"Why they don't investigate now? Is it because those who are accused are in the UNP government? I truly suspect it is the case."
Many will find his accusations extraordinary, coming as they do from a man who was in almost total control of Sri Lanka for years.
But interestingly he was very careful not to criticise President Sirisena, who now heads the party and coalition Mr Rajapaksa himself led for nearly a decade.
Both Scottish and UK governments have been accused of being slow off the mark in responding to the oil downturn and its impact on the city.
But this week, and next, they're visiting, listening, talking, and splashing some cash.
"Not enough cash", is the response from several figures in the north-east. The UK government has found £125m to help out. This is being contrasted with the £300bn or so that the offshore industry has sent the Treasury over the past 40 years.
The more charitable responses to the initiative have emphasised that this is a starting point rather than a game-changer for the north-east.
And Aberdonians - oil industry grandee Sir Ian Wood included - reckon they've been short-changed for years by the allocation of council funds from St Andrew's House in Edinburgh.
The weighting towards those with the strongest indicators of deprivation has long seen the north-east on the rough end of the deal.
Sir Ian also hinted heavily that there are further moves afoot at Westminster for further cuts in tax on the oil industry, most likely to feature an exploration drilling allowance.
The Scottish government matched the Treasury's funding last week, and added more. Nicola Sturgeon wasn't going to get caught out, as ministers were last time a Scottish city deal was being struck.
That was for Glasgow and surrounding council areas in 2014, when UK ministers surprised St Andrew's House with an announcement that required a rapid decision on a £500m commitment over 20 years. It was politically impossible to say 'no'.
This was Whitehall saying it could reach beyond Holyrood to influence policy at a more local level, and because it involved large amounts of money, it was hard to take issue with that.
But this deal is not about a city. The two examples in Scotland, so far, are not about cities, but regions - the north-east, and the Clyde Valley - and they look like an odd sort of a deal.
The main thrust of this policy is aimed at cities in England, where the basis of it is very different.
There are three key elements to the English version. The one in common with Scotland is that it involves a wad of money from the Treasury, spread over 20 years or so, and almost all for capital spending.
In the case of Clydeside, the intention is to use £1.1bn to lever in twice as much in private sector investment, with the forecast of "delivering" 29,000 jobs.
Then, down south, the deal is about cutting down on Whitehall bureaucracy. By creating a city deal unit at the heart of government, it knocks heads together across spending departments, which otherwise tend not to co-ordinate their regional thinking that cleverly.
With smaller government in Scotland, where it is often claimed that you can fit all the people who matter on a decision into a reasonably small room, that is less of an issue.
The English city deal also involves a significant devolution of power over spending, some with the condition that the cities shift to a stronger, mayor-led executive form of government. It is an important part of the so-called Northern Powerhouse policy, of re-balancing the English economy away from the south-east.
Most deals are also conditional on local councils working more closely together.
This is piecemeal devolution, where England's regions have previously resisted taking on more political control. It may also help fill the gap left when regional development agencies were killed off five years ago.
Instead of defining England as a patchwork of regions, to which loyalties are usually weak or at least ambivalent, devolution is being based around the strengthening of cities as economic and government hubs, with Manchester taking the lead, and even taking on some central health spending.
It fits with a common view, around the world, that the city is the economic dynamo rather than the region or the country.
In Scotland, then, the City Deals (or city region deals) seem to be almost entirely about the money rather than significant changes in the way government works and power is distributed.
There is an intention to get councils working more closely together, to reduce the inefficiencies of departmental duplication across boundaries. But we've been hearing that one for a while, and there's been slow progress.
It is not going to be helped by the strong feelings and angry words from councils around the coming year's budget cuts to grants from Holyrood.
Whereas, eight years ago, there was much talk of "the historic concordat with local councils", with the new SNP government giving them more power over their spending priorities, now it feels more like tensions of historic significance.
If city/region deals are to be extended to Edinburgh and south-east Scotland and then Inverness and the Highlands, it may give some momentum to more joint working between councils.
But if those are approved as well, this becomes a policy that is no longer about areas in most need of help, and becomes more generalised. The initiative would also cover so much of the country that there is a risk to those left without a deal - south-west Scotland, for instance, or Tayside.
One criticism is that the deals lack imagination. On Clydeside and in the north-east, they have seen councils take old plans down off the dusty shelves.
A Glasgow airport rail link and improvements to Aberdeen harbour are desirable, no doubt, but critics suggest this is an opportunity to re-think the way the cities work, to make use of new technologies to make them smarter, and the opportunity is being wasted.
The Scottish Council Development and Industry (SCDI) recently published a blueprint for the Scottish economy, suggesting that capital spending by directed to infrastructure which is 'transformational'.
That would put more emphasis on a digital future - not only with better broadband, but investment in smart technologies to make cities work better and with less energy use, and in the skills for its citizens to make the best use of that.
'From Fragile to Agile' suggests that transport infrastructure needs to look to a future with self-driving cars leading to less car ownership and more sharing, so less congestion.
That has the "potential to release road capacity to re-engineer city centres to be economically vibrant and release land for large-scale redevelopment".
So these deals could offer opportunities to re-think the way cities work, rather than respond to the next pressure point with incremental conventional infrastructure.
And in England, they are being used as an opportunity to re-distribute powers.
In Scotland, that question of central versus local power is likely to be a significant factor in the Holyrood election campaign, as well as next year's national vote for councillors.
Welsh language use and housing quality would also feed into an annual report, to help achieve the goals of the Well-being of Future Generations Act.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said the aim was to achieve a "more rounded picture" of how Wales was advancing.
He invited people to give their views on 40 planned "national indicators".
Mr Jones called the consultation a "fantastic opportunity for public bodies, individuals and organisations to have their say on how we continue to develop and build the Wales we want".
"The Well-being of Future Generations Act places a duty on us all to work together to ensure that decisions taken today are made with future generations at their heart," he added.
During its passage through the assembly, some opposition members had criticised the proposed law to improve the nation's social and economic prospects as a "bureaucratic monster" with no "clear purpose".
Dumfries and Galloway Council and Stena Line have entered into a partnership with the McKinney Group.
It has agreed to bring forward detailed proposals for the regeneration of the East Pier - owned by Stena Line - for new retail, leisure and housing.
Councillor Colin Smyth said the announcement was "another positive step forward" for the town.
"The council has already invested around £4m to develop Agnew Park, the West Pier and sailing facilities as part of the overall vision for the waterfront," he said.
"The redevelopment of the East Pier through private sector investment is the crucial next step for Stranraer.
"We will also continue discussions with the Scottish government to seek support to enable the plans to become a reality."
Speaking on behalf of Stena Line Ports Ltd, Les Stracey said the company was delighted to have reached a "significant milestone".
Billy McKinney, of the McKinney Group, added: "We are delighted to have entered into an agreement with the partners.
"From the outset we recognised the potential for this project to be transformational for Stranraer and the south west of Scotland.
"We aim to work with Stena Line and the council to bring forward proposals that will match the aspirations of the local community and create new growth opportunities for Stranraer."
Today's Scottish Conservative manifesto is no different, blending its offer on UK powers - as set out in the UK launch yesterday - with longer-term devolved ambitions, for example on education and housing.
But there is always room in politics for targeting the other lot. That is particularly true in this strategic election - where parties are, for example, projecting or denouncing coalition options.
The Scottish Tory launch featured two conjoined elements where the party talked explicitly about matters concerning their rivals - beyond the customary rhetoric of decrying them as useless, damaging and inept.
Firstly, the Tories in Scotland want to "bring the SNP down to size", to curb their ambitions to hold a further referendum on independence. Secondly, they want to borrow Labour votes in Scotland to help achieve that ambition.
Ruth Davidson characterised Labour as being engaged in "civil war". It might not last, she courteously added. Labour might "find its way back". But, for now, she argued that Labour was spent as an anti-SNP force in Scotland.
In essence, she urged tactical voting by Labour supporters switching to the Tories in seats where that could make a difference. For the avoidance of doubt, Labour does not share the Tory analysis nor their prescription.
But how about that issue of an independence referendum? The Conservatives have cited two criteria before indyref2 would be feasible.
One, after the completion of Brexit. The prime minister, David Mundell, Ms Davidson, everyone else in blue, stresses that is not just the conclusion of talks: it would involve the implementation of Brexit.
Incidentally, the PM did not envisage a direct role for the first minister in said negotiations. That would be for the UK government which she hopes to continue to lead. She would consult the Scottish government - but the bargaining with the EU would be conducted by the departing member state.
And that meant the UK, led by either her or Jeremy Corbyn.
But back to the question of indyref2. If it has to await the conclusion of Brexit, how long would that take? Two years negotiations? Maybe longer, if the EU 27 agree? How long for implementation? One year? More? Much more?
The participants at today's launch decline to say.
And the second criterion? That is evidence of consent, evidence of a desire by the Scottish people to be asked about independence once more.
But how, the wicked media asked at the launch, is that to be measured? Opinion polls? The outcome of the current election in Scotland?
Further, I asked that question again when I interviewed the PM in East Lothian. The answer on each occasion was a variant upon "not now".
I understand. I get the concept. Again for strategic reasons, the Tories do not want absolutely to rule out a referendum, to say a blunt never. When the plan was first disclosed, David Mundell was at pains to suggest that a plebiscite might, perhaps, be feasible, in the future.
In practice, though, they hope that it might become never. That their Unionist pitch might thrive. That more and more voters in Scotland might be cajoled to turn away from the cause of independence. That the issue, in short, by dint of electoral campaigning, might not arise.

The Queen will hand out Maundy money to 89 men and 89 women, the first time the service has been held in Sheffield.
Maundy Thursday recognises the service of elderly people to their community and their church.
Dr Croft said it had been a "huge amount of work for several months - in secret".
"There's a real sense of anticipation now, and joy that this is happening in Sheffield this year," he said.
The British monarch's Maundy Thursday service has been held in England since the 12th Century, to mark Jesus washing his disciples' feet.
Dr Croft said it was about expressing practical love for others, especially of the poor.
The Queen's visit was made public in January and has involved preparation from Sheffield Cathedral, the police and city council.
Dr Croft said the 175 recipients of Maundy Money had been nominated locally.
"It's a profound Christian reflection of the command to love one another, at the heart of the city," he said.
"Sheffield Cathedral will become a Chapel Royal for the day, and platters from the Crown Jewels will be brought to carry the Maundy Money."
The service has been held in almost every cathedral in England and some in Scotland and Wales.
BBC Radio Sheffield's Rony Robinson will be reporting on the event on Thursday.
The fire in a yard run by WH Orchard and Son in Dobwalls, Cornwall, caused an estimated £10,000 of damage.
Owner Graham Orchard said the fire started because a gas canister was left in a car they were crushing.
Cornwall Fire service confirmed a gas canister was the "likely cause" of the fire.
For more on the scrap fire and other stories across Cornwall.
Multiple appliances from across the county were called to the scene at on Thursday afternoon. Relief crews stayed overnight.
Reflecting on the cause of the fire, Mr Orchard said he was angry about the canister being left in the vehicle.
"Somebody brought in the shell of a car and we asked them if there was anything hazardous in it, they said 'no', and we took their word for it," said Mr Orchard.
"There was a gas cylinder placed under one of the seats. Crushing it must have caused a spark, which caused a great fireball to go over my head
"Because people are being charged now to get rid of different types of waste, they try and mix it in with the general scrap, to hide it, and then this is what happens.
"We need to get the message across that it's dangerous to mix scrap metal, people don't understand the risk.

The MP balloted voters in his Richmond Park constituency, in South West London, to ask for their consent.
Some 15,802, or 79% of those who took part said "yes", with just 3,569, or 18%, saying "no."
The MP sent out 77,071 ballot papers and received 19,890 back, a turnout of 25.8%.
Mr Goldsmith, an environmental campaigner who is strongly opposed to Heathrow expansion, is now expected to enter the race to replace Boris Johnson as the Conservatives' mayoral candidate next year.
Among his potential rivals are former footballer Sol Campbell, financial services entrepreneur Ivan Massow, deputy mayor for policing and crime Stephen Greenhalgh, London Assembly member Andrew Boff and the Conservative Party's leader in the European Parliament Syed Kamall,
Labour is also holding a contest to find its candidate for City Hall.
Mr Goldsmith, who was recently returned as an MP with a greatly increased majority, said: "I am hugely grateful to the residents of Richmond Park and North Kingston for taking part in the ballot, and am overwhelmed by the mandate they have given me to run for mayor.
"For five years I have campaigned hard on the issues that matter to my constituents, whether fighting to stop Heathrow expansion, pressing for free parking to help our small shops, stopping plans to charge people for enjoying Richmond Park, or campaigning to give voters more power over their MPs. I have seen how a campaigning MP can make a real difference."
He said he wanted to build on the progress made by Boris Johnson, who he described as "a strong, campaigning mayor" who had "secured investment, created jobs, made our streets safer and much more".
And he vowed to make sure "London works for all Londoners".
"That means bearing down on unsustainable rents and helping more Londoners own their own home; continuing to improve and grow our transport system to cut delays and deliver value for money for commuters; promoting a healthier living environment for London families."
It has also been announced that the former Conservative MP Nick de Bois - who lost his seat at the last election - will be Mr Goldsmith's campaign chairman.
Mr Goldsmith's agent said the MP had paid for the ballot of his constituents himself, although he would not say how much it had cost as the final invoice has not come through.
Real coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed the Spaniards were in talks over signing the 24-year-old Spurs forward.
"The rumours that anything is imminent are not true," said Villas-Boas. "We allowed ourselves conversations with Real Madrid, confirmed by their coach - I think wrongly.
"But the only thing we've communicated is that the player is not for sale."
He added: "Carlo is a person I appreciate a lot and we have great respect for each other but, bearing in mind this situation, they have decided to make it public.
"Normally, situations like this in England are scrutinised by the Football Association with lots of care and attention. We have seen lots of people speaking about a player that is not theirs and we are due some respect."
Villas-Boas was speaking following his side's 5-2 defeat by Monaco in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
Wales international Bale did not travel with the rest of the Tottenham squad for the game in the French principality.
Former Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow, who has been around the Real Madrid camp in Los Angeles this week, said he expects Bale to join the Bernabeu club.
He told BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme: "The mood was very much one of confidence and expectation that Bale would go."
However, despite Bale also indicating to Spurs that he wants to speak to Real about a move, Villas-Boas insists he is planning for the 2013-14 season with Bale, who scored 26 goals last season, in his plans.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We are looking towards the future with Gareth," said Villas-Boas.
"In football anything is possible but what we've communicated so far is that we are not willing to concede to their [Real Madrid's] interest in the player."
Bale played the first half of Tottenham's pre-season friendly against Swindon on 16 July but not played since as the White Hart Lane club continue their build-up to the Premier League campaign.
"He picked up a pain in his foot from his individual training so he's recovered from the [earlier] injury he had to his gluteus," explained Villas-Boas.
"The medical department has examined him and given the red light to his involvement, so we can't have him training or playing at this moment."
The Crown Prosecution Service said last month it was reviewing one case after a request by a male complainant, and another has now requested a review.
In June it said there was "insufficient evidence" to prosecute Sir Cliff over sex abuse claims made by four men.
A spokesman for the singer said: "Sir Cliff reaffirms his innocence."
Both cases are expected to be reviewed together, with the outcome expected this month, BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said.
Alleged victims of crimes are entitled to a review of decisions not to charge suspects under a scheme set up by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in England and Wales in 2013.
A spokesman for Sir Cliff said: "Sir Cliff reaffirms his innocence and has every confidence the CPS will come to the right conclusion as soon as possible."
On Tuesday, in reply to a question about Sir Cliff's case, Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said reviews would be looked at within 28 days.
"We only overturn these decisions if we think that the original decision was wrong," she told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4.
"We look at it again, and it must still be that there is sufficient evidence and it's in the public interest to prosecute. It must still satisfy the tests."
The four men alleged the sex offences had taken place between 1958 and the early 1980s.
When the CPS decided not to bring charges against Sir Cliff in June the singer said he was "thrilled that the vile accusations and the resulting investigation have finally been brought to a close".

Emotional stress has long been linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which affects the heart and blood vessels - but the way this happens has not been properly understood.
This study, led by a team from Harvard Medical School, points to heightened activity in the amygdala - an area of the brain that processes emotions such as fear and anger - as helping to explain the link.
The researchers suggest that the amygdala signals to the bone marrow to produce extra white blood cells, which in turn act on the arteries causing them to become inflamed. This can then cause heart attacks, angina and strokes.
As a result, when stressed, this part of the brain appears to be a good predictor of cardiovascular events.
But they also said more research was needed to confirm this chain of events.
The Lancet research looked at two different studies. The first scanned the brain, bone marrow, spleen and arteries of 293 patients, who were tracked for nearly four years to see if they developed CVD. In this time, 22 patients did, and they were the ones with higher activity in the amygdala.
The second very small study, of 13 patients, looked at the relationship between stress levels and inflammation in the body.
It found that those who reported the highest levels of stress had the highest levels of amygdala activity and more evidence of inflammation in their blood and arteries.
Dr Ahmed Tawakol, lead author and associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said: "Our results provide a unique insight into how stress may lead to cardiovascular disease.
"This raises the possibility that reducing stress could produce benefits that extend beyond an improved sense of psychological wellbeing.
It's the part of the brain that prepares you for fight or flight, becoming activated by strong emotional reactions.
The amygdalae (because there are two of them - one on each side of the brain) are almond-shaped groups of cells located deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain.
In humans and animals, the amygdala is linked to responses to both fear and pleasure.
The term amygdala - which means almond in Latin - was first used in 1819.
Dr Tawakol added: "Eventually, chronic stress could be treated as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is routinely screened for and effectively managed like other major cardiovascular disease risk factors."
Commenting on the research, Dr Ilze Bot, from Leiden University in the Netherlands, said more and more people were experiencing stress on a daily basis.
"Heavy workloads, job insecurity or living in poverty are circumstances that can result in chronically increased stress, which in turn can lead to chronic psychological disorders such as depression."
Emily Reeve, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke from stress normally focused on controlling lifestyle habits such as smoking, drinking too much alcohol and overeating - but this should change.
"Exploring the brain's management of stress and discovering why it increases the risk of heart disease will allow us to develop new ways of managing chronic psychological stress.
"This could lead to ensuring that patients who are at risk are routinely screened and that their stress is managed effectively."
Northern Ireland's McIlroy, who carded a four-over-par 74, missed a 12-foot eagle putt at the last to win outright.
American Russell Henley won a play-off, which also featured compatriot Ryan Palmer and Scotland's Russell Knox, with a birdie at the first extra hole.
Woods was forced to withdraw on the 13th hole because of back pain.
The American hit a five-under-par 65 on Saturday to move into contention but was five over in his final round when he quit.
His withdrawal comes six weeks before the Masters at Augusta - the first major of 2014 - which takes place from 10-13 April.
"It's going to be hard to get over because I had a great chance to win my first tournament of the season and I didn't.
"It's my lower back with spasms," said Woods, 38. "It started while I was warming up."
McIlroy admitted he was fortunate to have reached the play-off after dropping six shots in 11 holes from the seventh, including a double-bogey six on the par-four 16th where he hit his ball out of a bunker and into water.
He followed that with another bogey on the 17th, which left him needing a birdie on the last to get into the play-off at eight under.
The 24-year-old gave himself a chance of victory though with a stunning second shot on the par-five hole that finished 12 feet from the hole but he was unable to hole the eagle putt that would have won him the title.
"I didn't play well enough to deserve to win," McIlroy told the PGA tour website.
"It's very disappointing. It was a perfect opportunity to win. No one was really coming at me.
"There's a few positives to take, but obviously it's going to be hard to get over because I had a great chance to win my first tournament of the season and I didn't."
Henley, who qualified for the Masters, won at the first extra hole with a two-foot birdie putt.
"I was so nervous coming down the stretch," said Henley, who won his first PGA Tour title at last year's Sony Open in Hawaii.
"I hope I can have a bunch more Sundays just like that in my career. It was a rush to be out there playing with Rory and the crowd.
"I've never been part of a crowd so big cheering for me. It was an amazing feeling. It was so much fun."
Coach Mark Robinson and assistant Ali Maiden will work with Joe Root's outfit on Wednesday, with the match at Old Trafford beginning on Friday.
England's women lifted the World Cup at Lord's last Sunday after a thrilling victory over India in the final.
The men have a 2-1 lead over South Africa with just one Test to play.
They completed a 239-run win over the Proteas at The Oval on Monday.
It means South Africa are unable to win a third successive Test series in England and may taste defeat for the first time since 1998.
England coach Trevor Bayliss often invites other coaches into his set-up in the run-up to Tests or major series.
Before the second Test at Trent Bridge, Worcestershire batting coach Kevin Sharp, a mentor of captain Root, was included.
Robinson has extensive experience in the men's game, twice winning the County Championship in a nine-year spell with Sussex.
Inouye had served in Congress since 1959, when Hawaii became a state, and had been a senator since 1963.
He also received the Medal of Honor, the US' highest military honour, losing an arm but destroying a Nazi bunker during a battle in Italy.
He was the first Japanese-American in Congress and most recently chaired the powerful appropriations committee.
According to a statement from his office, Inouye's last words were "Aloha".
In a statement, President Barack Obama said "our country has lost a true American hero".
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced Inouye's death on the Senate floor on Monday. The Hawaiian senator was president pro-tempore of the Senate, third in the line presidential succession.
"His service to the Senate will be with the greats of this body," Sen Reid said.
"He had every reason to call attention to himself, but never did," Republican senate minority leader Mitch McConnell said.
"He was the kind of man, in short, that America has always been grateful to have, especially in her darkest hours: Men who lead by example and expect nothing in return."
Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie will appoint Inouye's replacement. The seat is up for re-election in 2016.
Born in 1924 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Daniel Inouye volunteered for US army shortly after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, joining the famed Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team. He was 17 at the time.
"I tried to put myself in the shoes of my neighbours who were not Japanese," Inouye said about signing up.
"I felt that there was a need for us to demonstrate that we're just as good as anybody else. The price was bloody and expensive, but I felt we succeeded."
In 1945, Inouye lost his arm in the battle that would later win him the Medal of Honor.
While he was leading a charge on German machine gun nest in Italy, he was shot in the abdomen, but managed to throw two grenades before his right arm was shattered by a German grenade.
"Despite the intense pain, he refused evacuation and continued to direct his platoon until enemy resistance was broken and his men were again deployed in defensive positions," his citation for the medal read. "In the attack, 25 enemy soldiers were killed and eight others captured."
The senator received the honour in 2000, after the junior senator from Hawaii at the time, Daniel Akaka, got Pentagon officials to review records to determine if some had been denied the honour because of racial bias.
Inouye was one of 22 Asian-American World War II veterans who belatedly received the medal, many from the 442nd regiment.
During his convalescence from his injuries, Inouye met Bob Dole, the future majority leader of the Senate and 1996 Republican presidential candidate, who also was recovering from severe war injuries. The two later served together in the Senate for decades.
But Inouye returned to a still-hostile America. On his way home from the war, he often recounted, he entered a San Francisco barbershop only to be told, "We don't cut Jap hair."
While Inouye was popular senator in Hawaii, especially due to the federal investment he brought to his state, he largely avoided the spotlight.
In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson urged Vice President Hubert Humphrey, who had won the Democratic nomination for president, to select Inouye as his running mate, to silence the vice-president's critics on the Vietnam war.
But the senator was not interested. In 2008, his chief of staff said Inouye was "content in his position as a US senator representing Hawaii".
Inouye also served on the congressional committee that investigated the Watergate affair and recommended impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon.
A decade later, he served as chairman on another investigation committee, an inquiry into Iran-Contra affair, questioning top Reagan White House officials.

Refugees spoke at the gathering on Queen Street, as calls were made for concrete action.
The Welsh Refugee Council's Hannah Wharf welcomed moves to resettle 20,000 Syrians displaced by war in the UK.
Meanwhile, there was a demonstration on Swansea's Castle Square and a human chain is planned in Caernarfon, Gwynedd.
Ms Wharf said: "Wales has made it clear that we are prepared to welcome refugees.
"Winter is fast approaching for many of the most vulnerable in the refugee camps that neighbour Syria. The need for resettlement is now."
Methodist minister Paul Martin, who is based in Canton, Cardiff, called it "the most serious human-made disaster of our time".
David Cameron announced on Monday that the UK would accept up to 20,000 people from camps surrounding Syria with priority given to vulnerable children.
First Minister Carwyn Jones will hold a Wales summit on the refugee crisis next week.
Local authorities in Wales have said they are willing to "play their part" but asked for help to meet the costs.
It has also cut the value of its 20% stake in the Co-op Bank by £45m.
The bank said in April it would remain unprofitable for about two years because of tough trading.
Co-op group chief executive Richard Pennycook said the fall in profit "was expected and planned" because of its restructuring programme.
The group announced a £1bn three-year Rebuild programme in 2014.
"We are only half way through the Rebuild and much remains to be done, whether it is investing in our digital capability or campaigning on key issues," said Mr Pennycook.
He said the group is "firmly on track" and that the work is attracting more customers back to the Co-op.
Revenue increased by 2.2% to £4.7bn as customer transactions rose by 3.3% and like-for-like food sales climbed 3.1%.
The underlying profit before tax, which excludes temporary factors and one-off items, was £31m for the six months, down from £63m in the same period of 2015.
The Co-op nearly collapsed in 2013 after the discovery of a £1.5bn "black hole" in its banking operation. But it has since sold around four-fifths of the bank and focused the business on re-establishing the Co-op as a mutual brand owned by its members.
The Co-op has scrapped its famous dividend for the duration of the revamp, but is sending out new Co-op cards to customers to mark the launch of a new membership offer, "placing customers and communities firmly at the heart of the Co-op again".
Members will receive a 5% reward every time they buy Co-op own-brand products and services, while a further 1% will go towards local causes.
"By 2018 we expect to give back £100m a year to our members and the local causes they care most about," said chairman Allan Leighton.
The group said its food business expanded faster than many of its supermarket rivals as Britain's shoppers shifted towards more frequent shopping at convenience stores.
The Co-op has around 2,600 grocery shops across the country with 30 new food stores opening in the first six months as part of 100 planned for 2016.
Underlying food profit fell to £63m from £88m in 2015, after the chain cut prices and increased workers' pay.
Staff in food stores have been given an 8.5% pay increase to take them ahead of the National Living Wage threshold.
The Co-op is Britain's fifth biggest grocer with a market share of 6.6%.
Underlying profit at the group's Funeralcare business fell to £42m from £47m in the same period 2015, although sales climbed £2m to £164m, despite the death rate falling year on year by 11,000 to 303,000.
It opened 12 more funeral homes to bring the total to more than 1,000 and said a further 200 will open in the next three years.
"We have ambitious plans to grow our funerals business over the coming years," said Mr Pennycook.
Meanwhile, it cut the price of its budget Simple Funeral by 7% to help address problems of affordability.
The 40-year-old, who won the point that sealed the 2014 Ryder Cup for Europe, shared a picture of the nasty injury on Twitter.
Donaldson required stitches and is likely to be out of action until February's Dubai Desert Classic.
"So folks, in my time off decided to have a fight with a chainsaw and lost," Donaldson tweeted.
Pontypridd-born Donaldson, who was raised in Macclesfield, has three wins on the European Tour and won the Thailand Golf Championship on the Asian Tour in December.
The Welshman's manager, John Fay, said Donaldson had not suffered any tendon damage.
Donaldson will miss this week's Abu Dhabi Golf Championship - a tournament he won in 2013 - but could play in Singapore next week if given the all clear when the stitches are removed on Wednesday.
"Jamie has full movement in the finger and is expected to make a full recovery," Fay said.
"He is very relieved and will be a lot more careful in the future."
He is not the first golfer to have suffered a chainsaw accident, with twice Open champion Greg Norman, 60, almost losing his left hand in 2014. while cutting some tree branches.
The boat, the Hokule'a, took three years to journey around the globe.
Its crew navigated without modern instruments, using only the stars, wind and ocean swells as guides.
They aimed to use the same techniques that brought the first Polynesian settlers to Hawaii hundreds of years ago.
Hawaii celebrated the Hokule'a's homecoming on Honolulu's Magic Island peninsula on Saturday.
Built in the 1970s, it has travelled around 40,000 nautical miles (74,000km) on this latest trip, known as the Malama Honua voyage, meaning "to care for our Island Earth".
Its aim has been to spread a message about ocean conservation, sustainability and protecting indigenous culture.
"Hokule'a has sparked a reawakening of Hawaiian culture, language, identity and revitalized voyaging and navigation traditions throughout the Pacific Ocean," said the voyage organisers on their website.
Naalehu Anthony, crewmember and chief executive director of Hawaiian media company Oiwi TV which documented the trip, told Hawaii Public Radio that wherever they docked, people greeted them with a Hawaiian "Aloha" greeting.
"One of the things I really admire about the voyage, looking back on it, is that we always asked the first nations peoples from these different places for permission to come. We never said we are coming. We said, would it be OK for us to come and honour the native people of this place," he said.
The voyage, he added, had been an "opportunity to celebrate native knowledge and look at ways that we are more common than we are different".
The disaster "could and should have been foreseen and prevented" and its effects "mitigated by a more effective human response", it said.
The report
catalogued serious deficiencies in both the government and plant operator Tepco's response.
It also blamed cultural conventions and a reluctance to question authority.
By Mariko OiBBC News, Tokyo
While the report is highly critical of all the key parties, it digs even deeper. The panel called the disaster "Made in Japan", because the mindset that allowed the accident to happen can be found across the country.
It flagged up the bureaucracy's role in both promoting and regulating the nuclear industry, and also cultural factors such as a traditional reluctance to question authority.
The report was expected to use strong language, but not many thought it would be this harsh.
The panel also found that there was a possibility that the plant was damaged by the earthquake, contradicting the official position that only the tsunami contributed to the disaster.
It could put further pressure on the government, which recently authorised the restart of two nuclear reactors in western Japan. They were declared safe in April but the plant also sits on top of a fault line.
The six-reactor Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was badly damaged after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami knocked out cooling systems to reactors, leading to meltdowns and the release of radioactivity.
Tens of thousands of residents were evacuated from an exclusion zone around the plant as workers battled to bring reactors under control. Tepco declared the reactors stable in December 2011.
Members of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission were appointed to examine the handling of the crisis and make recommendations.
The investigation included 900 hours of hearings and interviews with more than 1,000 people.
In the panel's final report, its chairman said a multitude of errors and wilful negligence had left the plant unprepared for the earthquake and tsunami.
"Although triggered by these cataclysmic events, the subsequent accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant cannot be regarded as a natural disaster," it said.
Fukushima report: Key points
"It was a profoundly man-made disaster - that could and should have been foreseen and prevented."
After six months of investigation, the panel concluded that the disaster "was the result of collusion between the government, the regulators and Tepco" founded in the failure of regulatory systems.
It said that the situation at the plant worsened in the aftermath of the earthquake because government agencies "did not function correctly", with key roles left ambiguous.
It also highlighted communication failures between Tepco and the office of then Prime Minister Naoto Kan, whose visit to the site in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake "diverted" staff.
The report said regulators should "go through an essential transformation process" to ensure nuclear safety in Japan.
"Japan's regulators need to shed the insular attitude of ignoring international safety standards and transform themselves into a globally trusted entity," it said.
Fukushima versus Chernobyl?
Loss and recovery in numbers
The report made several recommendations including:
All of Japan's nuclear plants were shut down in the wake of the disaster. But on Sunday the first reactor was restarted in the town of Ohi in Fukui prefecture.
The restart sparked large protests in Tokyo but Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda urged support for the move, saying a return to nuclear power was essential for the economy.
The government is continuing to assess whether other nuclear plants are safe to be restarted.
Reverend Canon Mpho Tutu van Furth followed her father into a life in the Anglican church, but when she decided to marry the woman she loved, she had to leave.
She married her long-term Dutch girlfriend, Marceline van Furth, in a small private ceremony in the Netherlands at the end of last year, but they went public last month when they had a wedding celebration in Cape Town.
"My marriage sounds like a coming out party," explains Ms Tutu van Furth.
"Falling in love with Marceline was as much as a surprise to me as to everyone else," she tells me.
Marceline van Furth is a specialist in paediatric infectious disease and is based in Holland. She is also an atheist.
Prior to the announcement of their marriage, Ms Tutu van Furth's sexuality was never made public, and she had previously been married to a man with whom she had two children.
While same-sex marriage was legalised in South Africa in 2006, South African Anglican law on marriage states: "Holy matrimony is the lifelong and exclusive union between one man and one woman."
Same-sex marriages are not recognised and when it comes to gay clerics, the church is very clear - they must remain celibate.
Ms Tutu van Furth feared that her marriage would mean losing her licence to practice as a priest.
And indeed shortly after her wedding, her diocese decided to withdraw it. And that is when she said she would hand it back as she thought this was a more dignified option with the same effect.
"It was incredibly sad for me.
"A few years ago I celebrated the Eucharist with my father... and now to be in a position that I cannot serve at the alter with him... I was surprised by how much it hurt," she reveals.
And while her father, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, now 84, has been very supportive of her marriage, she says she is also very aware that he has to be careful to allow the conversation to unfold as opposed to picking a fight.
Despite this, his views on homophobia have always been very clear.
In July 2013, while speaking at a UN-backed campaign to promote gay rights, he said: "I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven.
"No, I would say sorry. I mean I would much rather go to the other place," he said, equating the campaign against homophobia to that waged in South Africa against racism.
Ms Tutu van Furth would like her marriage to help progress what she calls the "very important conversation'" that needs to be had in the church regarding same-sex marriage.
"What is so absolute that we can't pass beyond this point?" she asks.
"Not only do we have gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual people of every description sitting in our pews, to be perfectly honest we have all of those people standing in our pulpits too.
"And yet very often they sit in fear in the pews and they stand in fear in the pulpits because they are not free to fully own who they are and who they love."
She is also keen that the church look at what woman like her at the altar can do to draw the young towards the church.
As a lipstick-wearing black woman in robes, she knows that she is not your typical Anglican priest.
"I want that young girl to look at me and realize that is what priests can look like," she explains.
The Tutu van Furths' careers and children force them to live 9,600km (5,965miles) apart.
Mpho Tutu van Furth is in Cape Town running her parents' foundation and her partner is in Amsterdam practising medicine.
Living apart, she says, is not ideal.
"We are newly-weds like every other set of newly-weds and it sucks. Living apart is not a good and joyful thing.
"It's a huge challenge to us but we talk umpteen times a day. God bless the internet, we love it," she says.
They have four children between them, ranging from 10 years old to 19 years old from their first marriages.
Ms Tutu van Furth realised that when she fell in love, she would have to make a very difficult choice between being a priest or being with the person she loved.
It was, she says, one of the hardest choices of her life.
"I shouldn't have to choose but in the end you always choose love. Everything else will fall into place somehow. When in doubt do the most loving thing."
The Anglican Church in South Africa has indicated that it is looking at adopting pastoral guidelines for members who enter same-sex unions.
But it is not clear whether there will be any change when it comes to same-sex marriages of church clerics.
Sitting within Grasmere, in Cumbria, Grasmere Island came to the attention of a dismayed Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley when it was sold in 1893.
Canon Rawnsley, along with Sir Robert Hunter and Octavia Hill, went on to found the conservation group in 1895.
The island has been gifted to the organisation in a will.
It can be seen from Allan Bank House - a former home of poet William Wordsworth.
Dave Almond, National Trust manager for Allan Bank and Grasmere, said: "It's fantastic that 124 years after the private sale of Grasmere Island, the view that can be enjoyed from Allan Bank and that has inspired so many, will now be protected for ever, for everyone."
The island provides "a haven for wildlife" and a "magnificent veteran oak" tree, Mr Almond added.
Speaking when the island was put up for sale in 1893, Canon Rawnsley commented: "It is notorious that during the last two years the top of Snowdon, the island in the middle of Grasmere lake and the Lodore Falls have all come on to the market.
"Had such a trust as that now proposed been in existence, each of these places might have been obtained for the nation."
Jenny Lewis, from Sherborne, died when the helicopter she was co-piloting crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Virginia on 12 June 2002.
She was commemorated earlier with a flypast over Swanage station and the unveiling of a train named after her.
The D6515 diesel locomotive was unveiled as Lt Jenny Lewis RN in memory of the railway enthusiast, who was 25.
The naming ceremony was organised and hosted by Brian Denton, chairman of the 71A Locomotive Group, which preserves locomotives, and the address was given by a senior officer with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm.
The pilot's father Chris and Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm senior officers were among those at the ceremony.
The 71A Locomotive Group's D6515 is a Class 33 diesel-electric locomotive, of which Jenny was a fan.
Mr Lewis said: "I am thrilled about D6515 being named after Jenny and I know that she would be too. Having the locomotive named after my daughter is amazing and Jenny would be so honoured.
"Jenny was a very vivacious girl who worked extremely hard and played hard too. She was very loving and interested in everything - especially mechanical things. If she made up her mind to achieve something, she put her mind to it and did it."
The 73-ton diesel locomotive hauled London trains to Corfe Castle and Swanage in 1966.
A Lynx helicopter from Yeovilton in Somerset took part in a flypast over Swanage station and the D6515 earlier.
The 49-year-old ex-Ipswich defender has left after Tuesday's defeat by bottom club Crewe left the U's one point above the relegation zone.
Colchester have the worst defensive record in the Football League this term, conceding 44 goals in 19 matches.
Humes leaves after almost 15 months in charge, having replaced Joe Dunne at the helm in September 2014.
U's chairman Robbie Cowling told BBC Essex that Humes had suffered "criticism", some of it which had "gone a bit too far".
"We're trying to bring young players through. Tony's been at the club and coached some of those boys since their early teens," Cowling said.
"He felt that his presence at the club now was detrimental to the club and to those boys' careers. We've decided between us and agreed now that's what we go forward with."
Former U's academy boss Humes helped Colchester avoid relegation to League Two last season with a final-day victory over eventually-promoted Preston North End.
The U's started the 2015-16 campaign with a run of eight games without a win, prompting chairman Cowling to release a statement saying he had no "sack the manager pills".
Four consecutive wins in September lifted both the pressure on Humes and the U's up the table, but since then their only victories have come at home to Port Vale and at Wealdstone in the FA Cup.
"I still believe that Tony would be the ideal man to take the club forward," said Cowling.
"Tony has been a massive part of helping us build one of the best academies we've got, he took over the club with one point and kept us up last season against the odds.
"In my view he should still be at the club and we should be talking about building a statue for the guy.
"For me, he's a legend of the club - other people don't see it that way and want to get abusive and they're probably glad that he's lost his job."
Talking about Humes' replacement, Cowling added: "I can't see me going outside the club. We have good people here already."
Humes' assistant Richard Hall and current under-21s boss John McGreal will take charge of Saturday's game at high-flying Burton Albion, assisted by Wayne Brown.
"Tony Humes is a good coach and a decent man, his team play exciting football, but you can't keep shipping goals at the rate they were and Tuesday's loss to Crewe has proved the last straw.
"The road the club is going down with youngsters has its constraints and is difficult to work within.
"The club needs to think hard about the next move as to whether to continue the policy of promoting from within or go outside for a fresh pair of eyes."
The creation stands 5ft 6in (1.7m) high, is 12ft 6in (3.84m) long and 5ft (1.53m) wide.
It was built following donations by visitors, who paid £1 for each brick.
The model raised funds for a new £10.9m permanent exhibition of cathedral artefacts called Open Treasure, which is expected to attract 120,000 people a year.
See a 360 degree view of the model here.
Work started on the replica on 11 July 2013, which tells the story of Durham Cathedral and its place in the development of Christianity in the North East.
The cathedral said it is the first large-scale Lego model to have been built by the public, with visitors from as far as Alaska taking part.
The party has proposed that an organisation, similar to the not-for-profit Welsh Water, is set-up to drive investment in the sector.
Energy spokesman Simon Thomas said Wales needs a national energy company "to focus on reducing energy prices for consumers through renewable sources".
Both Labour and the Tories have pledged caps on energy prices.
Labour's UK general election manifesto pledged to move towards a publicly-owned energy system and an emergency price cap to ensure that the average dual-fuel household energy bill remains below £1,000 per year.
The Conservatives have also pledged a cap on energy prices - Prime Minister Theresa May claimed that 17m households would benefit by up to £100 from the cap on poor-value standard variable tariffs.
Plaid's Mr Thomas said: "Even though we have 1,000 miles of coastline and five million acres of land, we produce less renewable energy than elsewhere in the UK.
"Despite being a net exporter of electricity, Welsh consumers are faced with higher bills than any other country in the UK.
"The answer is not to place an arbitrary cap on bills but to take profiteering shareholders out of the equation and take ownership of our own energy."
Plaid Cymru is not proposing full nationalisation - the proposed Ynni Cymru (Energy Wales) organisation would exist within the current energy market.
Instead, the organisation would drive investment in infrastructure, renewables and research and development in a bid to reduce the cost of energy and tackle climate change.
It would act as a producer and would not provide electricity and gas direct to people's homes - but the body could also co-ordinate the development of local co-operative and municipally-owned providers that do.
Although the proposal is a part of the party's general election pledges, it is thought that it is something that would be implemented through Wales' devolved institutions. Plaid said the organisation would be wholly owned by the Welsh Government from the outset.
Welsh Conservative environment spokesman David Melding said: "We do not support the nationalisation of energy, as we believe that the sector works best for consumers and businesses when it operates within the market.
"The Prime Minister has already set out her ambition for Britain's energy costs to be the lowest in Europe, and we are now working hard towards meeting that end."
A spokesman for the Welsh Liberal Democrats said the party was "committed to tackling climate change and unlocking the potential of our environment to drive economic growth and bring energy prices down for consumers".
A UKIP Wales spokesman said: "The policy of carbon taxes which Plaid Cymru supports exposes the people of Wales to exorbitant energy prices.
"Typically, Plaid's answer to the ill-effects of their own policy is to serve up this reheated cabbage from a previous manifesto."
Grant, 26, joined the club from Blackpool in July 2015 after a brief loan spell and has played in every League One game this season.
The midfielder has scored seven goals to help Uwe Rosler's promotion-chasing side reach third place and has been rewarded with a new deal until 2019.
"The manager was a massive part of the decision. I've really enjoyed the style that he wants to play," Grant said.
"I'm very happy to be a part of what we're creating here."
Grant began his career at Accrington Stanley before playing for Scunthorpe, Rochdale, Blackpool and on loan at Shrewsbury .
With eight matches left to play, Fleetwood, who have lost just one of their last 21 league matches, are four points off an automatic promotion place, occupied by rivals Bolton.
It came after Mr Musk claimed he could solve an energy crisis engulfing South Australia within 100 days - or he would do it for free. South Australia has faced crippling blackouts in recent months, prompting intense discussion locally about how to fix them.
Mr Turnbull and Mr Musk spoke on the phone for almost an hour. They tweeted about it afterwards.
When Mr Turnbull took over as Australian leader in 2015, he famously promised to be more "agile" when it came technological innovation and industry.
His conversation with Mr Musk was described as involving two people "picking each other's brains", according to one media report citing an unnamed source.
It initially drew some humorous responses, with one financial commentator writing an in-jest take on how it might have unfolded.
Others on social media likened it to Mr Turnbull's recent calls with Donald Trump - one where he obtained the US president's number from golfer Greg Norman, and a famously a robust conversation the pair had over a refugee deal.
More details about the Mr Musk discussion were not divulged, but Mr Turnbull's office said: "The pair had an in-depth discussion on the value of storage and the future of the electricity system."
However, by Monday the conversation was being described as "just general discussion" by Mr Turnbull's Resources Minister Matt Canavan.
All 1.7 million people in South Australia - which is 40% bigger than Texas, covering more than 980,000 sq km (380,000 sq miles) - lost electricity following an extreme storm in September.
Then in February, the state's residents were again warned to brace for crippling blackouts during a heatwave. Ultimately, 90 homes and businesses had power shut off for 45 minutes.
The events have exposed significant issues with the state's ability to supply enough energy. A practice called load-shedding - shutting power off in periods of high demand - has been controversial.
Bodies including the Australian Energy Market Operator and the Climate Council have warned the problem will get worse without intervention.
It does not only affect South Australia - there is also concern for the nation's most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria.
The federal and state governments are still deliberating over how to resolve the energy crisis.
South Australia has become increasingly reliant on intermittent renewable sources - such as wind and solar - meaning supply is reduced when there is little wind or sun.
This has led some to criticise renewables, but others maintain they are not just environmentally friendly but also cheaper to produce.
Regardless, solutions under discussion include better links to interstate power, domestic gas production, coal and - as Mr Musk advocates - improved battery storage.
On Thursday, Tesla executive Lyndon Rive had said the company could install 100-300 megawatt hours of battery storage in 100 days. Mr Musk went on to quote a price of $250 per kilowatt hour for 100 megawatt hour systems.
However Australia's relevant minster, Mr Canavan, on Monday appeared to downplay the conversation between Mr Turnbull and Mr Musk.
"I think it's just discussions at this point, and I don't believe anything specific to South Australia was discussed, but we support all technologies," Mr Canavan told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"For a politician to stand up and say that 'I've got the solution, all we need is 100 megawatt of batteries' is fraught with danger," he said.
South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill has also spoken to Mr Musk and will not rule out his seeking his help, but his government is expected to make a separate announcement later this week.
This led his dad Tony to seek the help of Cerebral Palsy Sport who directed the family to a dedicated cerebral palsy football league and now Tony runs his own CP football team in Stafford.
As a result Jude has now been chosen as an ambassador for Together We Will - a new campaign to get as many people with disablities involved in sport as possible.
"It's fantastic to be asked to be part of the Together We Will campaign. Sport plays a huge part in our family life, so it's great to be able to share our story and help others get active too, " said Tony.
Jude and his family are a fantastic example of how sport and active recreation can have a positive impact on the whole family
"From day one Jude has been running around with a football at his feet, but growing up it was tough finding access to take part in with children of a similar ability and age."
Jude has limited mobility in his lower legs and the lack of suitable opportunities nearby sometimes prevented him from taking part in local community sports activities.
Other children's levels of ability and stamina often left Jude feeling excluded and demotivated. Having the chance to take part in football sessions and regular physical activity as a family has been instrumental to Jude's rehabilitation.
Tony's team Stafford Town Cerebral Palsy FC now have 18 players between four and 18 years old. The team is a fully inclusive club who trains at Weston Road Academy and is always actively seeking new players.
"There are many organisations out there to help give disabled people and their families support in finding activities which are suited for them - Cerebral Palsy Sport was great at introducing us to dedicated CP football leagues which have been life changing to keep Jude healthy and happy," Tony added.
Cerebral Palsy Sport is one of eight disability sport organisations getting involved with the Together We Will campaign.
It's hoped the initiative will address the low numbers of disabled people who regularly take part in sport or physical activity.
"CP Sport's aim is to support people with cerebral palsy to reach their potential through sport, and lead a happy, healthy lifestyle," says Lisa Morton-Smith, National Sports Development Manager from Cerebral Palsy Sport.
"Jude and his family are a fantastic example of the opportunities available and how sport and active recreation can have a positive impact on the whole family.
"CP Sport is excited to be involved in the Together We Will campaign to support others like Jude and Tony access sport and activity."

Safe Harbour was designed as a "streamlined and cost-effective" way for US firms to get data from Europe without breaking its rules.
Companies in the US were able to self-certify that they had put the appropriate data privacy measures in place.
In the wake of the Snowden allegations, the top European court has ruled that Safe Harbour is invalid.
The White House has expressed disappointment that a "critical" agreement had been struck down because of "incorrect assumptions about data privacy protections in the United States".
But the question is - what's changed?
I've spent the day canvassing the views of firms in Silicon Valley. Most didn't want to talk on the record and were taking a wait-and-see approach as to what happens next.
Of those that did have something to say, here's a selection.
Microsoft provides cloud services - online storage - for many businesses around the world. In a blog post, the company said: "For Microsoft's enterprise cloud customers, we believe the clear answer is that yes they can continue to transfer data by relying on additional steps and legal safeguards we have put in place."
Talking about its own services, such as Hotmail, the company said: "We also don't believe today's ruling has a significant impact on our consumer services. Our terms of use make clear that to provide these services, we transfer data between users, which occurs for example, when one user sends email or other online content to another user."
But it called for renegotiation of Safe Harbour to be swift.
"Many European nations are currently considering amendments to their surveillance laws. Rather than just expand governments' surveillance authority as some are seeking to do, the focus should be on striking the right balance between security and privacy without sacrificing one for the other."
The Internet Association represents some of the biggest players in Silicon Valley and beyond, including Twitter, Google, Facebook, Netflix and Uber.
The association's president Michael Beckerman said in a statement that while bigger firms have back-up agreements in place to transfer data, it's small US firms that could struggle.
"In light of this far reaching European Court of Justice ruling, the Internet Association calls on the US and EU to join forces to implement a revised Safe Harbour framework and to issue interim guidance to stakeholders pending this implementation."
Talks between the US and EU about an updated agreement - dubbed Safe Harbour 2.0 - have been ongoing for around two years, but could be sped up by these recent developments.
Salesforce, which offers customer relationship management software (everything from sales to marketing to customer analytics), said it was making changes to its service in the wake of the ruling.
"Salesforce is immediately making available a data processing addendum that incorporates the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, commonly referred to as 'model clauses'."
The travel start-up, which allows people to rent out their rooms and properties, told the BBC it wasn't particularly fussed: "Like other European companies, Airbnb relies on other safe and legal mechanisms for essential data transfers.
"This ruling does not have a significant impact on us."
Facebook too said it was unaffected practically by the ruling, but urged sensible reforms.
"Facebook, like many thousands of European companies, relies on a number of the methods prescribed by EU law to legally transfer data to the US from Europe, aside from Safe Harbour," said the social network in a statement.
"It is imperative that EU and US governments ensure that they continue to provide reliable methods for lawful data transfers and resolve any issues relating to national security."
Online storage provider Box told the BBC it wasn't affected as it had other measures in place.
"Box does not anticipate any impact based on today's ruling by the European Court of Justice (EJC) regarding the EU-US Safe Harbor Framework," it told the BBC.
"In anticipation of the ruling, we've undertaken efforts to adhere to the alternative methods for meeting the 'adequate protection' requirements."
Github, a site where programmers share source code, is having to take action to make sure it is compliant in the wake of the ruling.
"GitHub is committed to ensuring that our community of 11 million developers all over the world can collaborate together on software, with confidence that their privacy is protected," the site told the BBC in an email.
"We will take the necessary steps to ensure that our European users can continue to build great things on GitHub."
Autodesk is a company with huge reach - it develops systems for 3D design, education, engineering and entertainment. Much of it is handled in the cloud.
"Autodesk is currently evaluating the impact to our business of the European Court of Justice's decision on the EU-US Safe Harbour Framework and awaits additional guidance," the firm told the BBC.
"We continue to comply with the previous Safe Harbour principles, and are committed to supporting our customers through any changes required as a result of this decision as well as protecting the privacy of our customers and employees."

It is the first-ever partnership of its kind for Microsoft.
Kind has been selling its marijuana tracking software to businesses and governments for some three years.
The start-up will now be able work on Microsoft's government cloud.
Kind's software, which is called Agrisoft Seed to Sale, "closes the loop between marijuana-related businesses, regulatory agencies, and financial institutions," a press release said.
Microsoft told the BBC in an emailed statement that it supported "government customers and partners to help them meet their missions".
"Kind Financial is building solutions on our government cloud to help these agencies regulate and monitor controlled substances and items, and manage compliance with jurisdictional laws and regulations," the Microsoft spokesperson said.
Microsoft is based in Washington where cannabis is legal.
Kind said that Microsoft's cloud platform was the only one of its kind "designed to meet government standards for the closely regulated cannabis compliance programmes", The Weed Blog reported.
Microsoft told the Weed Blog it was looking forward to working with Kind "to help our government customers launch successful regulatory programs."

The Essex Police officer was attacked by the driver in Chigwell, who got into the patrol car and drove off.
The police car was later found in Romford with the Labrador dog unharmed. The officer sustained minor injuries.
Police are searching for Tony Turner, 35, of Vincent Road, Dagenham, over the crash, attack and theft on Saturday.
The initial crash involved one vehicle - a grey BMW - and the officer was carrying out the breath test at the side of the road when he was assaulted.
Police said Vincent Road was Mr Turner's last known address and he was also known to frequent Romford and Barkingside in east London, Broadstairs in Kent and other towns on the border of Essex and Greater London.
Ch Supt Sean O'Callaghan said: "This was a nasty assault on a police officer carrying out his duties to keep the people of Essex safe.
"[Mr Turner] is not someone that we would advise members of the public to approach."
He was described as being 5ft 7ins tall, with short brown hair and a tattoo of the name Kirsten on his left arm.
Dr Hugh Blaise O'Neill, 61, from Tasburgh, Norfolk, has been charged with two counts of rape and four of gross indecency.
The offences date between the early 1990s and early 2000s and do not relate to his professional role, police said.
Dr O'Neill is due to appear at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
An NHS England spokesperson said: "We are aware that Dr Hugh Blaise O'Neill, who was a GP in Horsford, has been charged with a number of sexual offences against girls.
"As this matter is the subject of an ongoing legal process, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage."
The 27-year-old Cameroon right-back never played for the Italian side in six years, spending the entire time on loan with Spanish club Granada.
Thirteen members of Watford's current squad have played for Granada, Udinese or both - with all three sides owned by Giampaolo Pozzo.
Nyom was part of the Cameroon squad at last summer's World Cup finals, playing in the 4-1 defeat by hosts Brazil.
He is Watford's seventh signing of the summer after they were promoted to the Premier League in May.
Nyom was still in contract at Udinese with no details of a transfer fee being revealed.

The 20-year-old France international signed a five-year contract at the Nou Camp alongside the club's president Josep Maria Bartomeu on Monday.
The deal is the second most expensive of all time, eclipsed only by Neymar's recent £200m move to Paris St-Germain.
Barca said Dembele's contract has a release clause of 400m euros (£369.6m).
Dembele said: "I'm very happy to be here. It has always been my dream to be at Barcelona and now I'm here I'm very happy.
"It is the best club in the world with the best players in the world."
Dembele's last appearance for Dortmund came in the German Super Cup on 5 August. The Bundesliga side rejected a bid from Barca earlier in August, with the player then suspended for missing training.
Dortmund said they rejected Barca's approach because their offer "did not correspond to the extraordinary footballing and additional value of the player and the present economic situation of the European transfer market".
With regard to the agreed fee, Dortmund said in a statement the payment of add-ons "was agreed up to a maximum total amount of approximately 40% of the fixed transfer fee".
Barca have failed with three bids for Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho, the most recent of which was £114m.
Officially, the £75m signing of Luis Suarez from Liverpool in 2014 was their most expensive previous purchase.
However, Bartomeu has said in the past that "the overall cost of the operation" to sign Neymar from Brazilian club Santos in 2013 was "over 100m euros (£92m)", despite the transfer fee having been disclosed as £48.6m.
Last season, Dembele scored 10 goals and provided 21 assists as Dortmund finished third in the Bundesliga, won the German Cup, and reached the Champions League quarter-finals.
He joined Dortmund from French side Rennes on a five-year deal in May 2016, having been voted Ligue 1 young player of the year for the 2015-16 season, when he scored 12 goals and made five assists.
Dembele made his senior France debut in 2016, his only goal in seven caps to date coming in a 3-2 friendly victory over England in June.
He was left out of the France squad for September's World Cup qualifiers against the Netherlands and Luxembourg, with manager Didier Deschamps explaining on Thursday: "Ousmane hasn't trained for a fortnight and he's waiting to see if the transfer will go ahead or won't go ahead."
2017 - Neymar £200m (Barcelona to Paris St-Germain)
2017 - Ousmane Dembele £135.5m (Dortmund to Barcelona)
2016 - Paul Pogba £89m (Juventus to Manchester United)
2013 - Gareth Bale £85m (Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid)
2009 - Cristiano Ronaldo £80m (Manchester United to Real Madrid)
John Bennett, BBC World Service
The transfer fee is astonishing but former team-mates and former coaches will tell you Ousmane Dembele has the potential to be a Ballon d'Or winner.
They mention his extraordinary acceleration on the ball, they rave about how two-footed he is (his right foot is supposed to be stronger than his left, but it's very close) and they talk about his extraordinary skills, touch and close control.
His former manager at Rennes, Rolland Courbis, actually claims Dembele could have joined Barcelona last summer but turned them down. He says they offered more money than Borussia Dortmund but the French youngster chose to go to Germany.
His change of heart now may have a lot to do with Neymar's departure offering more guaranteed game time in a World Cup year. Filling the Brazilian's boots will come with a lot of pressure but Dembele has the quality to make that spot his own.
But Australian Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said he expected the process to resume "in due course".
It follows uncertainly over a deal that would see up to 1,250 refugees currently held in offshore detention by Australia resettled in the US.
The US has said it will apply "extreme vetting" to the refugees amid criticism of the deal by President Donald Trump.
Mr Dutton said US Department of Homeland Security officials who arrived at the Pacific nation in January left this week.
"I don't have any comment to make in relation to when US officials will be on Nauru next," Mr Dutton told reporters on Thursday.
"There have been officials there who have left... in the last couple of days and we would expect other officials to be there in due course."
Australia has controversially refused to accept the refugees - most of whom are men from Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq - and instead holds them in detention centres on Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.
The agreement was the subject of a tense phone call between Mr Trump and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull last week.
"There is a lot of work being done at an officials level with people from my department and the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State in the US, but it's not something that I have anything to comment on," Mr Dutton said.
"Our desire is to get people off Nauru and Manus as quickly as possible."
A total of 1,254 people were being held in the two camps, 871 on Manus Island and 383 in Nauru, as of 30 November 2016, according to Australian government statistics.
The US deal, struck with the Obama administration in November, involves a one-off resettlement.
In return, Mr Turnbull's administration agreed to resettle refugees from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, would oversee the deal and the "most vulnerable" would be prioritised, the Australian prime minister said.
Australia has faced fierce international criticism for its offshore detention policy and wants to close the Manus Island camp. Conditions in the offshore camps have been roundly condemned by rights groups, who say the policy is punitive and inflicts harm on refugees.
The SNP has concerns that Fort George at Ardersier, near Inverness, is to stop functioning as a barracks as part of Ministry of Defence reforms.
In a letter to SNP MP Drew Hendry, Scottish Secretary David Mundell said he could not confirm at this stage the military's future use of the barracks.
SNP MSP Fergus Ewing said the letter added to the uncertainty over the fort.
Soldiers of the Black Watch (3 SCOTS) are currently based at Fort George. Mr Mundell said in his letter that the future of the battalion was not under threat.
On the fort itself, he wrote: "The Ministry of Defence's rationalisation strategy will examine the entire Defence Estate across the whole of the UK, with the aim of providing a smaller but more efficient and more sustainable estate.
"Savings made in this way will be used to improve military capability.
"To this end, a number of announcements of disposal have already been made.
"It is likely that some sites in Scotland will be released for disposal as part of the wider plan which is due to report later this year, but I am unable to confirm whether Fort George will be included as part of this until the report is complete."
Mr Ewing said Fort George should remain as a working barracks.
He told BBC radio's Good Morning Scotland programme: "As constituency MSP for Fort George I believe it should continue as is and house the Black Watch.
"The proposal from the UK government that there will be further reductions to conventional defence are, I think, quite shocking. There only seems to be funding for Trident." | Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith has received the overwhelming backing of his constituents to make a bid to be the next London mayor.

The two-day strike over pay began at midnight local time, with Lufthansa saying about 100,000 passengers will be affected.
Flights by Lufthansa's other airlines including Eurowings, Swiss, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines are not affected, the airline said.
The industrial action is part of a long-running pay dispute at Lufthansa.
The pilots' union, Vereinigung Cockpit, has organised 14 strikes since April 2014.
On Tuesday, Lufthansa made two legal challenges to halt the strike.
A Frankfurt labour court first rejected Lufthansa's application for an injunction. Later in the evening, the Hesse state labour court rejected the airline's appeal.
Pay talks between the Vereinigung union and the German airline broke down earlier this month, and Lufthansa said the union had "consistently rejected the offer" of mediation.
The union is calling for a 3.7% pay rise for 5,400 pilots dating back to 2012.
Lufthansa, which is facing increasing competition from budget rivals, offered a 2.5% increase over the six years until 2019.
Meanwhile, a separate dispute with cabin crew at Lufthansa's low-cost subsidiary, Eurowings, led it to cancel more than 60 flights on Tuesday.
Cordina lost a split decision to Hurshid Tojibaev in the last 16 of the lightweight division at the Rio Games.
The 25-year-old won bronze at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and will fight at super-featherweight in the paid ranks after signing a deal with Matchroom.
"I've had my eye on Joe Cordina for some time - I believe he is an exceptional talent," said promoter Eddie Hearn.
"I feel there is real potential for a star to flourish in Welsh boxing but the goal is to make him a global star as well.
"Fans are really going to enjoy his style and watching his career unfold."
Hearn previously told BBC Wales Sport that Cordina was the top prospect in the Team GB boxing squad.
Cordina will train in Essex with Tony Sims and BBC Wales Sport understands he will sign a management deal with former two-weight world champion Joe Calzaghe.
He says he is looking to become a world champion within three years.
"After the Olympics, I knew that I was going to turn pro and I'm itching to get going," he said.
"I want my name up in lights in Las Vegas, that's the dream.
"I just want to put on a good show against anyone put in front of me, excite the fans and build up a profile.
"I want people to be talking about me and raving about my performances because in three years' time, I want to be fighting for a world title."
Cordina is hopeful he can emulate current Welsh world champions Lee Selby and Nathan Cleverly and has targeted winning a global title in his home city of Cardiff.
"People in Wales have been asking when I'm going to turn pro for a while now as they want to follow my progression," he said.
"Lee Selby has done great things, won a world title, Nathan Cleverly is a world champion again, but I think that people in Cardiff are waiting for someone to draw everybody in and I feel I can be the man to do that.
"I don't want to fight for my first world title anywhere but Cardiff, and I think that the Welsh public will get right behind me. I'm a very proud Welshman."
Dean Radford and Jamie Webb have spoken about incidents they said happened when they were in their teens.
A number of other players have also come forward saying they were abused at the club.
Southampton FC said it would co-operate fully with any police investigation.
As a member of the schoolboy development teams, Mr Radford said he would stay over in Southampton during weekends away from his native Bristol.
Along with another young player, he said he was made to "snuggle up" with a club employee on a couch.
He said: "It was very odd for me because this was the first experience I'd had of that sort of closeness and whatever else you want to call it.
"The reasons he gave were that we needed to trust him, he needed to be like a second father to us - if we trusted him, and it worked both ways, then the chances were there that we could become a professional footballer."
Mr Radford also described a sexual assault which he said took place after he had developed a back injury and was asked to lie down for treatment.
Jamie Webb, who joined the club when he was 13, described how boys were "groomed" by the club employee who asked them to write him "love" letters.
Recalling a "definite attempt to abuse me", Mr Webb said: "I recall clearly he tried to move down and put his hand in between my shorts and my tracksuit that I was wearing and I just blocked him."
He said the experiences "tarnished" his memories of his time at the club and Mr Radford said he held the club "partly responsible" for the abuse.
Mr Radford said: "They must have known, they must have heard these rumours going around because everybody else had."
The two men waived their anonymity to speak to the BBC.
BBC South has also spoken to other former Southampton players who have come forward with allegations of abuse.
Mr Radford said he had the "utmost respect" for other ex-footballers who have spoken out about being abused.
He said: "You don't live every day of your life crying your eyes out and walking around with your head down, you get on with life as normal, but you still have it there, it's buried there deep, and it comes up, and it will keep coming up for the rest of my life."
Mr Radford said if his parents had known at the time they would have stopped the abuse.
Hampshire Constabulary is one of 15 police forces investigating allegations of abuse in football.
It comes as the NSPCC said its hotline - set up to offer support to victims of child sex abuse within football - had received 860 calls in its first week.

Birmingham doctor Ali Mao-Aweys is in front of a Medical Practitioners Tribunal panel, accused of facilitating FGM both in the UK and abroad.
The charges relate to a telephone call and meetings in April 2012, in which he was said to offer to aid the practice.
Dr Mao-Aweys was arrested in May 2012 on suspicion of arranging an operation, but was not prosecuted.
If the panel finds him guilty of the charges, he faces being struck off the medical register.
The hearing is due to last two-and-a-half weeks.
Left-back Leighton Baines is Everton's regular penalty-taker, but ceded spot-kick duties to Mirallas and the Belgium winger struck the outside of the post.
"Kevin felt his hamstring was getting sensitive. It was a precaution," the Everton boss told BBC Radio 5 live.
"They are not related. The talking point is because we missed it."

Martinez says Baines did not have a problem with Mirallas, who converted from the spot in Everton's penalty shootout defeat by West Ham in the FA Cup last week, taking the kick instead of him.
"Normally Leighton takes the penalties but we have a few players in the squad capable of taking them," Martinez added.
"Leighton was quite happy to let him take it because he felt confident and right in that moment.
"There is no big issue in that. It became an issue because he couldn't find the back of the net."
However England assistant manager Gary Neville, covering the game for Sky Sports, disagreed.
"What he's done there at 0-0, taking it off the major penalty taker, which is what it looks like has happened, is a despicable breach of team spirit," Neville said.
"To go against team orders, you do not do that."
Meanwhile, Gary Brabin has left his role as manager of Conference side Southport to join Everton's coaching staff.
The 44-year-old began a second spell in charge of the Sandgrounders in October 2014 and guided them to the third round of the FA Cup this season, where they were beaten 1-0 by Derby County.

Frank and Turid Malpress bought the piece, Bringing in the Turf by William Conor, in 1948.
The artwork was stolen in 2008 and its whereabouts were unknown for five years.
In 2013, the couple's son-in-law noticed the piece on a Dublin auction house website after it had been sold to a collector in Chicago.
William Conor was born in Belfast in the late 1800s, and is famous for his watercolour and crayon portrayals of working-class life in Ulster.
Bringing in the Turf - which shows two girls gathering turf on their backs in wicker baskets - was one of two valuable pieces belonging to the family to be taken during the 2008 robbery.
A second piece by Irish artist Daniel O'Neill, entitled The Prodigal Son, remains missing.
Prior to the theft, the Malpress family had received a warning from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) that thieves had been operating in their area and that their art collection could be targeted.
Following the warning, the police made copies of the work and replaced them with the originals to act as bait for potential robbers.
When no theft was attempted, the originals were returned and the fake versions destroyed.
But in 2008, thieves broke into the Malpress home, stole the collection and left a token sum of money.
An investigation was launched into the theft, but the paintings were not seen for five years.
Robin Thompson, the victims' son-in-law, noticed the family-owned artwork on Whyte's Auction House website in 2013, where it was valued at nearly £20,000.
"I was in total disbelief when I saw it online," he told BBC News NI.
"I knew it was the real thing when I saw it, because I was familiar with it. It's quite a distinctive piece.
"I contacted the auction house and they told me it had been sold."
In fact, the painting had already been shipped to its new owner in Chicago.
Mr Thompson informed his insurers he had located the painting.
They enlisted the help of Art Recovery International in Venice, Italy, which then contacted the FBI's Art Crime Team.
Lead investigator, FBI agent Luigi Mondini, headed up negotiations between the victims and auction buyers.
"I had a series of negotiations with them," Mr Mondini told BBC News NI.
"The auction buyers were really shocked as they had done all they could in terms of due diligence.
"They weren't expecting it at all - but they were really co-operative as they didn't want to hold onto something that didn't belong to them," he added.
The artwork has now been returned to its rightful owners in Belfast.
"My mother-in-law died a few years ago so the picture is back with our family now - but we are delighted to have it back," said Mr Thompson.
It is still unclear who stole the paintings, but it is understood the PSNI are still investigating.
She has been named as 64-year-old Janet Gilson, a Salvation Army worker from Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.
A 29-year-old man was arrested at the city's main ferry harbour and is being questioned by detectives.
Ms Gilson - found at her niece's property on Lamma Island - reportedly suffered head injuries but police could not confirm if she had died from them.
She had arrived in Hong Kong on 6 March and was last seen on Tuesday in the village of Tai Yuen Village.
Her body was found in the flat, three days after she was reported missing by her niece.
The South China Morning Post reported that a witness to the arrest said she saw a handcuffed man with his head covered by a hood escorted by police off the ferry.
She said there had been a strong police presence around the island during the day and that the ferry piers on Lamma Island had also been under heavy guard.
The man, described by the paper as an expatriate, was held overnight for questioning.
A post-mortem examination will be conducted to establish the cause of Ms Gilson's death but police have confirmed that they are treating it as a "suspected murder case".
It emerged that she had retired only recently.
In a statement Major Carol Bailey, who is a regional manager for the Salvation Army, spoke of their sadness and shock at the news.
"She was a deeply spiritual woman and was highly respected and loved by all those with whom she came into contact."
"She was an inspirational person and she will be sadly missed."
A Foreign Office spokesman said it was ready to provide consular assistance to the family if required.
The woman, in her 20s, was attacked in a street after leaving the event's Chinawhite enclosure early on Sunday 2 July with men she met there.
The attack happened as she walked to a car and was then raped in front of it.
Two men, aged 23 and 24, from Bedford and a 26-year-old man from Loughborough were arrested and released while inquiries continue.
Police said after the woman left the rowing event, she walked to a residential street in the Harpsden Road and Reading Road area of Henley-on-Thames where she was attacked.
A member of the public found her near the Three Horseshoes pub shortly after.
He also admitted that this edition is likely to be "one of the toughest" in the history of the tournament.
He was speaking at the launch of the Best of Africa Awards, which recognises philanthropic projects sponsored by African footballers on the continent.
"We are in a difficult group and to be honest we are among the two favourites in the tournament," Ayew said.
"I think every tournament becomes harder and harder.
"We can see that all the teams are becoming stronger, so we need to keep our heads high and be confident and go and do our job."
The midfielder has missed several weeks of the English Premier League season through injury and is yet to score for West Ham since moving from Swansea in August.
The Black Stars are looking for their fifth Nations Cup, but they have not won a title since 1982.
Since then they have finished a runners-up on three occasions in 1992, 2010 and last time out in 2015 when they lost on penalties to Ivory Coast.
This time around, they will play in Group D alongside Uganda, seven-time champions Egypt and the 1972 runners-up Mali.
Mr Livingstone's comments feature in Total Politics magazine.
Croydon Tory MP Gavin Barwell said: "Comparing rival politicians to Hitler is in incredibly poor taste."
But Mr Livingstone's aides said his comments were "light-hearted". City Hall declined to comment.
In comments, reported in the latest issue of the magazine, the former London Labour mayor said next year's mayoral race was "a simple choice between good and evil - I don't think it's been so clear since the great struggle between Churchill and Hitler."
"The people that don't vote for me will be weighed in the balance, come Judgment Day," he continued.
"The Archangel Gabriel will say 'You didn't vote for Ken Livingstone in 2012.
"Oh dear, burn forever. Your skin flayed for all eternity.'"
Mr Livingstone added he would "come round with a serious pitch nearer the time".
However, Mr Barwell, MP for Croydon Central, said: "After the events of the last week, Londoners need a mayor who will unite our city, not one who regards people who don't share his views, as evil.
"To joke that Londoners who don't vote for him will 'burn forever' after everything we have been through in the past two weeks is crass even by Ken Livingstone's standards."
Zoe Clark, 24, of Carronbridge, Thornhill, was driving a Vauxhall Corsa that was involved in the collision on the A76, five miles south of Mennock.
One of the ambulance crew members received a head injury and was airlifted to Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.
The driver of the ambulance and two casualties suffered minor injuries.
The ambulance was leaving the scene of an earlier accident when it was involved in the second incident at about 08:40.
It blocked the main road between Dumfries and Kilmarnock for about seven hours.
A Scottish Ambulance Service spokesman said the accident happened while the ambulance was transferring two patients to hospital in Dumfries.
He added: "Our deepest sympathies go out to the family of the driver of the car, who tragically died.
"One member of the ambulance crew has been airlifted to hospital with potentially serious injuries.
"The other crew member and the patients were also taken to hospital by ambulance but are not seriously injured."
A spokesman for Police Scotland said a woman in the rear of the ambulance had been involved in a road accident further north on the A76.
She was being transported to hospital in Dumfries, accompanied by her husband, when the second crash happened.
Sgt Doug Millar said: "There was a previous road traffic collision further north and the ambulance which had dealt with that was returning to Dumfries with two people in the rear.
"There has been a northbound motor car and, for reasons we do not yet know, they have collided."
He said it was one of a spate of crashes across the region.
"Conditions across Dumfries and Galloway have been very difficult this morning," he said.
"I have just come from the A74 motorway and I was dealing with three collisions over there.
"There have been numerous collisions in Dumfries and Galloway this morning."
Meanwhile, all three emergency services were in attendance at a crash in central Galashiels.
Two cars and a bus were involved in the accident at the junction of Tweed Road and Nether Road just before 09:30.
Fire crews from Galashiels and Selkirk were cutting one of the drivers free from the wreckage.
The US requested the arrest of Richard Ammar Chichakli, a Syria-born American, who has been on the run since 2005.
Mr Chichakli, who faces 20 years in jail in the US, is accused of being Bout's chief financial manager.
He has repeatedly denied the allegations, saying he never worked for the convicted arms dealer.
US agents captured Bout, an ex-Soviet officer, in a 2008 sting operation in Thailand. He was jailed for 25 years last April.
Mr Chichakli, 53, who apparently entered Australia using fake documents, was captured after applying for a job as an armed guard.
"The man was found to be a person of interest through a routine background check, and was not offered a job," said a Victoria state police spokesman.
The US Drug Enforcement Administration announced Mr Chichakli's arrest in a statement late on Thursday.
"The international law-enforcement community has long recognised Richard Chichakli as a key criminal facilitator in Viktor Bout's global weapons trafficking regime and his arrest means the world is safer and more secure," said DEA administrator Michele Leonhart.
Mr Chichakli, a trained accountant, is accused of trying to buy planes that would have been used to transport weapons.
He is also accused of several counts of money-laundering, fraud and conspiracy.
The DEA said Mr Chichakli faced a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on each of the nine counts if convicted.
He has been subject to UN sanctions and asset freezes for years, and reportedly narrowly avoided arrest in Dallas several years ago.
Bout's capture in 2008 provoked a storm of controversy.
DEA agents posed as buyers for Colombia's Farc militant group and arranged a meeting with Bout in Thailand.
He agreed to sell them weapons, and was then arrested.
After a protracted legal wrangle and angry protests by the Russian authorities, he was eventually extradited to the US and jailed.
Bout was the inspiration for the main character in the 2005 Hollywood film Lord of War.
A UK politician dubbed him the "merchant of death".
In April, police suspended the release of any further sensitive material to the office until a review of security protocols was carried out.
That followed the arrest of a former investigator with the ombudsman's office.
It related to a probe 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 but do not refer to any case currently being investigated by the Police Ombudsman.
At the time, the Police Federation for Northern Ireland said it was an "astounding and very worrying state of affairs" and called for a full inquiry into the operation of the ombudsman.
In April, the office of the Police Ombudsman said it was anticipated that this suspension of the sharing of sensitive material "will be temporary".
The law in England and Wales was reformed by the Defamation Act, 2013.
It introduced a new threshold meaning claimants have to show they have suffered "serious harm" before suing.
The changes were not extended to Northern Ireland.
It also gives more protection from libel for those running websites if they can show they are not the authors of defamatory posts.
Policy development
The report by legal academic Dr Andrew Scott says that "in the main...it is recommended that reforms directly equivalent to those set out in the 2013 Act should be legislated by the Northern Ireland Assembly".
Stormont Finance Minister MáirtÃn Ó Muilleoir welcomed the report which, he said, will be considered carefully.
"This will help to inform the policy development process as we seek to ensure that a fair balance is maintained between the right to free speech and the right of the ordinary man and woman in the street, to protect their reputation," the minister said.
George Chertofilis, the president of the Kos Solidarity Group, said a win would "give meaning to the work we do".
Kos Solidarity is one of 16 volunteer groups from the Aegean Islands nominated on Sunday for the award.
They were nominated by more than 230 academics from universities including Oxford, Harvard, and Princeton.
In a private letter to the Nobel committee, shared with the BBC, the academics praised the islanders for responding to the crisis "with overwhelming empathy and self-sacrifice".
"They fundraised; opened their homes; dove into treacherous waters to save lives; took care of the sick and the injured; shared a meal or their garments with new arrivals," the letter reads.
It adds: "Despite persistent constraints and the continuous institutional inability to respond to this challenge in a respectful and efficient way, the nominees provide an example of possibility for action in the darkest of times and with the most limited of means."
Mr Chertofilis, a physics teacher on Kos, said the prize would be "a nice thing for individuals of course, but more importantly for the ideal of peace and solidarity".
"Ultimately we are not doing this for a prize, we are doing it because we are human beings and we must do everything we can to help each other," he said.

Migrant crisis: the volunteers stepping in to help
According to the nomination letter, the prize money in the event of a win would be used to fund healthcare on the islands. Three unnamed volunteers have been chosen who would travel to Norway to collect the award.
In order to make the volunteer groups eligible for the prize, which states that only individuals or organisations can be nominated, they were joined in an umbrella network called the Aegean Solidarity Movement.
The network was pieced together by Avaaz, a grassroots campaign group that coordinated the nomination. More than 630,000 people have signed a petition on the Avaaz website to show their support.
Sam Barratt, a spokesman for Avaaz, said the campaign group worked closely with the Nobel committee to ensure that the network complied with the prize rules. He was keen to stress that the 16 groups included in the nomination represent many smaller groups and individuals who have given up their time to offer support to refugees and migrants.
Among the signatories of the nomination are Nobel Laureate Economist Sir Christopher Pisaridis, Professor Margaret MacMillan from Oxford University, and Professor Anthony Giddens from the London School of Economics.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu has also lent his name to the cause. He said: "Just imagine 900,000 visitors in desperate need arriving at the door of your reasonably modest establishment. Hungry, exhausted and in a state of acute emotional distress.
"They don't speak the same language as you or ascribe to the same cultural or religious beliefs. What do you do? You open the door. Incredible!"
More than 800,000 refugees and migrants arrived in Greece last year via the Aegean Sea - over 80% of all those who arrived in Europe by sea - but authorities on the small Greek islands where many landed were not equipped to help.
Volunteers have stepped in to fill the gap, pulling stricken families from the sea, clothing, feeding and in some cases opening their homes to those in need.
Mr Chertofilis continues to volunteer several days a week, patrolling the beaches at night in shifts, armed with warm clothes, shoes, and snacks.
"The prize would be a nice thing for the people of these islands, many of whom have helped," he said. "But we are doing this because we don't like to see people suffer."
Defenders Brad Barry, Jamie Sendles-White and Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill plus forward Jordan Stewart will all leave.
Iandolo, 19, netted once in 15 appearances in all competitions this season for the Robins.
Swindon were relegated to League Two on 22 April with one game remaining, before finishing 22nd in the table.
A long-range shot from Alberto Moreno put the Reds ahead before Bojan escaped his marker to nod in Stoke's equaliser.
Daniel Sturridge put away Sheyi Ojo's cross to regain the lead and Origi then headed in, before his attempted cross drifted in after the break.
Stoke rarely threatened apart from a late run from Mame Biram Diouf.
Relive Liverpool's comfortable win
By making seven changes to his starting line-up, including first Premier League starts for Ojo and Kevin Stewart, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp revealed his priorities for the season's run-in.
The lure of European silverware - and the resulting Champions League place - means their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Borussia Dortmund on Thursday now takes precedent over their vanishingly slim chances of gate-crashing the Premier League top four.
Klopp opted to play Origi as a lone striker in the first-leg draw in Germany and Sturridge looked lively in the first half as he attempted to win back his place for the return against Dortmund.
After Moreno's opener, the England international rattled the advertising hoardings with a powerful low shot and showed excellent instincts to get on the end of Ojo's cross to score.
But Origi also took his chance to shine, adding muscular movement to the Liverpool attack after coming on at the break. The Belgian might have had a hat-trick had he managed to keep a header on target from a Moreno cross.
The two worked well in tandem as Sturridge completed 90 minutes for the first time since 28 February, but surely it is a case of either or against Dortmund on Thursday.
Stoke have now won just three times in 61 league meetings at Liverpool.
Before the match, Potters' manager Mark Hughes had noted, rather hopefully, that that win - like this match - was on Grand National weekend,
But his side were relegated to rank outsiders as soon as Liverpool moved two goals clear early in the second half.
Hughes instead will have to take the long-term view. His side are in the same ninth place that they managed in in his previous two seasons at the club, seven points off last season's total of 54 with five games remaining.
Record signing Giannelli Imbula showed he can provide a platform for Stoke's attack to shine, but his good work went to waste as the likes of Ibrahim Afellay and Xherdan Shaqiri faded from the game.

Klopp's fourth home league win since taking charge in October took the Reds to within nine points of fourth-placed Manchester City, but perhaps more valuable were the lessons he will have learned about some of his fringe players.
Joe Allen, who is likely to step up from understudy to first-team regular after Jordan Henderson's injury, used the ball intelligently while Ojo showed electric pace to beat Shaqiri and set up Sturridge's goal.
Klopp also got several reminders of his side's weak points though as Ryan Shawcross and Philipp Wollscheid won headers in dangerous areas just as 5ft 7in Bojan did to score his goal.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: "Today, I'm really proud. We made changes and it was a completely new formation. I'm sure the players have never played together before in this line-up.
"Stoke played 70 to 80% long balls to Peter Crouch, and you have to be tuned into that. It was a smart performance.
"Divock is still a young lad. We have to be patient. He can play together with Daniel.
"There's absolutely no doubt about that. We hope it stays like this that we have two strikers available like this because we have a big number of games to go."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "Once goals go in, it becomes difficult. It could have become embarrassing for us. It was damage limitation in the end.
"I was reasonably happy with the first-half performance, even though we were behind. But we kept on letting ourselves down by not switching on when the ball went dead.
"It was a difficult day, where we didn't acquit ourselves well enough.
"Today's result has hurt us obviously. We allowed Liverpool to go above us and teams around us are picking up points. But when we have a setback, we almost always bounce back, and we need to do that."

The oil giant said its profits had fallen by 51% to $5.9bn (£4.1bn), compared with $12.1bn in 2014 following a dramatic slide in oil prices.
BP was the biggest faller on the FTSE 100, falling 35.9p to 331p after announcing its biggest loss for more than two decades.
Oil prices fell sharply on Tuesday, with Brent crude down 5.3% to $32.42.
BP's underlying fourth-quarter profits sank to $196m, compared with $2.2bn for the same period in 2014 and far worse than analysts had expected.
A further 3,000 job cuts were also announced by BP on Tuesday.
Last year, it said 4,000 jobs would go in its upstream division as part of a $2.5bn restructuring programme.
BP said its upstream business, which covers exploration and production, slumped to a $728m loss in the final quarter.
The latest reduction of up to 3,000 jobs by the end of 2017 affects staff and contractors in its downstream segment.
This refers to its refined oil products, such as fuel, lubricants and petrochemicals, that are used to make products such as paint and plastic bottles.
Bob Dudley, BP chief executive, said the company was making good progress in managing and lowering costs and capital spending.
"We are continuing to move rapidly to adapt and rebalance BP for the changing environment," he added.
Oil prices have been hit by the slowing global economy, the strong US dollar and oversupply.
BP's dividend will remain unchanged at 10 cents a share for the quarter.
Sanjiv Shah, chief investment officer at Sun Global Investments, said: "The short term looks difficult but shareholders should be encouraged by the fact that a pick-up in prices is expected soon and that BP management are committed to continue paying out current dividend levels."
Analysis: Kamal Ahmed, economics editor
In the final three months of 2014, the cost of a barrel of Brent crude was $77. In the final three months of 2015, it was $44.
Today it is $34. That is the background to today's results from BP.
Bob Dudley, BP's chief executive, told me two weeks ago that he expected the oil price to rise as high as$50-60 a barrel by the end of the year, as the oil majors desperately cut production and demand grows from China and the US.
Global supply and demand, at least from his company's point of view, will be in better balance, he argued.
It is clear from the strain the low oil price is putting on BP that another year of falling prices will mean yet more job losses in both the upstream (oil exploration and production, including the North Sea) and downstream (refining and sale of fuel) businesses.
Both of the main engines of the business are now spluttering and puffing out uncomfortable-looking black smoke.
That will put fresh pressure on BP's dividend, vital to our savings and pension funds. For the moment, BP says it is wholly committed to maintaining the payments.

Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, said BP faced hard choices: "With average oil prices still trading at multi-year lows so far this year, the question now needs to be asked, how long can BP sustain the dividend at current levels without an imminent pick-up in oil prices?
"How many more jobs will BP need to cut from its already reduced 80,000 workforce in the coming months in order to sustain its payout against a backdrop of a possible ratings downgrade, and lower energy prices for longer?"
BP's results are the latest in a round of weak fourth-quarter results in the sector.
Last week, Chevron announced its first quarterly loss in more than 13 years.
Shell, which reports its fourth-quarter and full-year results on Thursday, has warned in a trading statement that its underlying profits could be halved.
BP's shares ended trading 8.7% lower at 335.1p.
Marium Mukhtiar was on a routine training mission when her plane met an "in-flight emergency" over Mianwali district, the air force said.
She and her co-pilot ejected. She later died from her injuries in hospital.
Flying Officer Mukhtiar was one of a small number of women to work as fighter pilots in Pakistan, and the first to die on operational service.
She told BBC News last year of her journey into a traditionally male-dominated world and desire to "do something different".
Marium Mukhtiar was among about 20 female fighter pilots in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), which only began inducting women in combat roles in 2006.
It was not immediately clear why her aircraft crashed. The male pilot was not badly injured and is recovering in hospital.
"Both the pilots handled the serious emergency with professionalism and courage and tried to save the ill-fated aircraft till the very last minute," a PAF statement said.
Pakistan's military has suffered a series of air disasters in recent months.
In September a trainer jet crashed near Mastung in Balochistan province. The pilot ejected to safety.
A military helicopter crash in May killed seven people, including the ambassadors of Norway and the Philippines. Another military helicopter crashed near Mansehra district in August, killing 12 people.
The hoax claim was first published late on Tuesday afternoon by the Bloomberg website, according to Vinci.
The false statement said the company would revise its 2015 and 2016 accounts after supposed accounting errors.
"This is false, totally false. We deny it," said a Vinci spokesman.
Shares in Vinci, which has businesses in more than 100 countries, are traded on the French stock market.
After the denial was issued the company's share price swiftly recovered to end the day down just 4% at ???58.8.
"Vinci denies formally all the information contained in this fake press release and is investigating all legal actions in furtherance thereof," said the firm.
The hoax said the company had uncovered irregularities which had been hiding losses amounting to 3.5bn euros.
France's AMF financial market regulator said it would look at the situation and might stage a full investigation.
The England international, 24, has been the subject of big money interest from rival Premiership clubs despite being sidelined for more than 13 months.
"He is starting to get back to full training," Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill told 5 live.
"We hope to see him on the field soon. It will be around Christmas time, early New Year."
Samoa-born Tuilagi, who has won 25 caps for England since 2011, is out of contract at Welford Road in the summer.
He has been offered a new deal by the Tigers, but is yet to confirm where his future lies.
Meanwhile, Cockerill is confident England scrum-half Ben Youngs will remain with the club beyond this season following the arrival of head coach Aaron Mauger and addition of versatile Australia international Matt Toomua for the 2016-17 season.
"We want Ben to stay - he wants to stay. We are working hard to making that work," Cockerill said.
"He wanted to see how it worked with Aaron. Clearly we have set our intent with guys like Toomua coming in and hopefully there will be one or two others in that backline who will improve that backline even more. Ben wants to be part of that."

If you are not sure whether a call from TalkTalk is genuine, ask for a reference number and call the company back yourself on 0203 441 5550. It is a good idea to wait at least five minutes before returning the call - or use phone another line.
Attackers can send very convincing emails that look like they are from TalkTalk but are actually trying to gather your personal information.
They may even refer to the cyber-attack in an attempt to appear genuine.
Be suspicious if an email asks you to reply with personal information or click on a link. Criminals can set up official-looking websites to harvest your account details.
"I would caution against clicking links in emails you are unsure of - it's always better to type the website address manually, to avoid the risk of being redirected to a phishing site," said David Emm from security firm Kaspersky Lab.
If you suspect an email is not genuine, call the company's customer service line and ask whether they have sent one.
Although it can be a nuisance for victims of a cyber-attack to monitor their bank accounts, it can help spot problems quickly.
Look through your recent transactions for any payments you do not recognise, even if they are very small.
"People will try and take a small amount first. TalkTalk has four million customers. If they do four million £1 transactions, that's not a bad haul," said Mr Dresner.
If you spot any unusual activity you should contact your bank and Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
TalkTalk is advising customers to change their account password as soon as its website is back up and running.
It is especially important to change your password on other websites, if you have used the same one across many accounts.
Attackers may have harvested usernames, email addresses and passwords from TalkTalk which could let them unlock other services such as your email.
"It's a growing concern that many use the same password and personal details across multiple online accounts, meaning if their details have been compromised by one attack they could find other accounts suffer too," said Mr Emm.
Security experts recommend using a different password for each account.
TalkTalk has reported three cyber-attacks over the past 12 months, so some customers may feel it's time to move elsewhere.
However, such a step could be costly.
The firm has said it would only waive its termination fees for customers who have had money stolen from them as a consequence of the latest incident.
Others face a penalty of up to £23.31 for each month that remains on their contract.
Unsurprisingly, the firm's share price recovered some of its recent losses after it made clear this stipulation.
"John Terry, Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole, Petr Cech and Frank Lampard can now say they have won everything.
"There's not a better moment - it doesn't sink in for ages but eventually you realise you played in the best team in the whole of Europe.
"You have to give massive credit to Roberto di Matteo, the way he's managed them, because he doesn't know what's happening to him tomorrow.
"He's got them all together, playing for each other and they've all raised their game.
"He's got the more experienced players back in the team and, boy, has that made a difference.
"As Di Matteo slowly took over, the formation and the shape of the team has changed.
"Tactically he's got everything spot on.
"Bayern Munich were the better team but it doesn't matter as far as Chelsea are concerned.
"Chelsea have won this competition away from home.
"In many ways, the performances in Lisbon and the Nou Camp in Barcelona have really set them up for this night.
"And Drogba's equaliser, and the time that it was scored, made a massive difference to the outcome of this game."
"Bayern Munich, over 90 minutes, were the better side but for Chelsea to show the courage they did, to come back and beat them on penalties after missing the first one, is quite a remarkable achievement.
"What is also remarkable is that [while] they've been to six semi-finals over the last decade, they've finally [now] produced and you have to take your hats off to them.
"Didier Drogba, Peter Cech, John Terry, Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard have been fantastic servants to Chelsea over the years.
"I'm genuinely pleased for them for the way they've turned their season around.
"Roman Abramovich can change the coaches and managers but the one thing he's had over the last few years is that he has been able to rely on those players.
"They have been the rock and that has created a spirit at Chelsea.
"You have to have a little bit of luck to win the cup - Arjen Robben missing a penalty in the final and Lionel Messi missing a couple of weeks to send them through.
"But Drogba has been the best centre forward of his type, certainly in the Premier League, for the past eight years.
"It could be his last appearance but I sincerely hope it isn't because he's still got something to offer. Big player, big occasion - remarkable that he's got the two [crucial] goals.
"If they're going to replace him, how are they going to replace him?
"He has been quite fantastic, year in and year out.
"It's quite fitting that he got the equaliser and it's quite fitting that he got the [winning] penalty if he is going to bow out."
The 28-year-old Russian, returning from a leg problem, led Czech Barbora Strycova 7-6 (7-1) 6-7 (4-7) 2-1.
It was Sharapova's first match since she lost to Serena Williams in the Wimbledon semi-finals in July.
"I got pain in my left forearm. It just got worse and worse as I continued," said Sharapova.
"I just don't think it's smart to continue trying to run around the court and trying to hit forehands from the backhand side and compensate other things.
"I haven't played a match in many months. I guess this is the consequence of that. I just have to work on getting it better."
The five-time Grand Slam champion was returning from the leg injury which forced her to miss the American hard-court season and the US Open.
She is scheduled to play in Beijing next week, but has made next month's WTA Finals in Singapore and Russia's Fed Cup final against the Czech Republic in November her major targets for the rest of the year.
"Singapore and the Fed Cup is a big priority," she said. "I'll do everything in order to be healthy for that.
"I don't know how long it will take for this to recover so I can't really give a definite answer about next week."
Robert Fleming, 21, was found dead at his home on Lammermuir Road in the East Ayrshire town on Sunday, February 7.
Police said he had earlier been involved in an altercation outside Bakers nightclub.
Scott Morrison appeared at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court charged with culpable homicide. He made no plea or declaration and the case was continued.
The huge fish was estimated to be about 7.5m (25ft) long and is thought to have weighed about 680kg (1,500 lbs).
Englishman Ben Bond made the catch off Loop Head on Thursday, and struggled single-handed for about an hour and a half to bring the shark to the surface.
After an exhausting battle, the sixgill was eventually unhooked and released.
Speaking to BBC News NI, Mr Bond said that at one point, he looked directly into the shark's jaws which were "absolutely massive".
Sixgills are a deep water shark which mainly feed on fish, including other sharks, but they are also thought to prey on seals.
Mr Bond said feeling the shark take the bait was a thrilling experience, and he admitted no fear as he reeled the mammoth creature in.
"I wasn't scared. I was excited, it was what I came to do," he said.
The 26-year-old builder has had some big catches before, including blue sharks, but had never hooked anything as large as the sixgill.
The shark was released a few minutes after it was brought up alongside the boat and Mr Bond said it was always his intention to put it back into the water.
"Watching it swim away was probably the best part, I wouldn't want to kill such an impressive creature," Mr Bond said.
Its measurements were estimated by the skipper of the boat, Luke Aston, an experienced angler who has been catching sharks in the area for nine years.
The Republic of Ireland's main fishing authority, Inland Fisheries Ireland, agreed with the skipper's estimation and hailed the sixgill as a "true monster of the deep".
Its spokeswoman told BBC News NI: "As the shark was caught and released, it was not weighed on shore so the exact weight cannot be verified for certain.
"However, it does look like this shark is one of the biggest fish ever caught on rod on line in Europe."
She added: "This type of fishing is legal - the angler practised 'catch and release' fishing which means that the fish was not killed and was released back into the water."
Mr Aston runs an angling centre in County Clare and captains recreational fishing trips.
He said they had been specifically targeting sixgills on that trip, and while it was not unusual to see them around Loop Head, catching a shark of this size was very rare.
Two days earlier, his boat had won Fishing in Ireland's "Catch of the Week" title for a 410kg (900 lbs) sixgill in the same area.
That prize-winning fish was landed last Tuesday by Mr Bond's friend, Ben Carter.
Mr Aston referred to the friends as "Big Ben and Little Ben" and said the fish that got away from Mr Bond was much larger.
The skipper said most of his clients practice 'catch and release' but some sharks are brought ashore.
He said the carcasses attract much interest from scientists who weigh and examine the sharks.
Mr Aston added that flesh of most of their catches eventually ends up on dinner table.
Mr Ahern was a member of Fianna Fáil from the late 1960s until 2012.
He left the party shortly before it was due to hold a meeting to consider expelling him over the findings of the Mahon Tribunal into planning matters.
However, at a meeting on Tuesday night, a motion was passed inviting Mr Ahern to become a member again.
The 65-year-old Dubliner was the most successful Irish politician of his generation, having been elected taoiseach three times in successive general elections from 1997 to 2008.
In 2012, the Mahon Tribunal found that he had failed to truthfully account for lodgements of 165,000 Irish punts into accounts associated with him, but the report stopped short of accusing him of corruption.
Fianna Fáil is no longer in government and is now the Republic of Ireland's largest opposition party.
The vote to invite Mr Ahern to become a member again was taken at a meeting in his former Dublin Central constituency branch.
Fianna Fáil's national executive is now expected to write to Mr Ahern informing him of Tuesday night's motion.
The former taoiseach, who has raised his profile in recent months, was unavailable for comment on whether he intended to rejoin his former party.
The 20-year-old captained the Swansea Under-23s side who won the Premier League 2 title last season and reached the EFL Trophy quarter-finals before losing to eventual winners Coventry.
He is the second new defender brought in by Glovers boss Darren Way, who has made seven summer signings in total.
"I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with Keston," said Way.
"He's the latest in a long line of players to be entrusted to us from Swansea. I'd like to thank (Swansea chairman) Huw Jenkins and everyone else at the club for their help in completing the move."

The company's troubles came to light earlier this week when it discovered suspected fraud by senior employees in a Singapore-based subsidiary.
OW Bunker is Denmark's third-largest company and supplies 7% of the world's bunker fuel, used in shipping.
Shipping lines were trying to find alternative suppliers in the wake of the news late on Friday.
The company owes 13 banks $750m (£472m) and says it cannot survive without new credit.
OW Bunker's chairman, Niels Henrik Jensen, said in a statement: "It is now clear that such facilities will not be made available. Nor is a sale as a going concern a realistic option."
The bankruptcy filing was lodged in the probate court in Aalborg in northern Denmark.
The company said on Thursday it had discovered fraud by senior employees in its Singapore-based subsidiary, Dynamic Oil Trading.
The statement also said: "As a result of the internal investigation it has been decided to report two key employees in the Singapore-based subsidiary Dynamic Oil Trading (DOT) to the police... and to relieve them of duty immediately."
OW Bunker only became a public company this year when it joined Copenhagen's Nasdaq in March. Its float was a market highlight, the second biggest initial public offering of shares since 2010.
In October it published figures estimating a trading loss of $24.5m, but has now increased that to $150m.
The alleged fraud at DOT is potentially one of the biggest financial market scandals to hit Singapore in 10 years.
The Portadown drive took victory in race two from Ash Sutton and team-mate Rob Collard.
Turkington came home second in race one, after struggling to get past the Subaru of Ash Sutton.
Carrying maximum ballast for race three, Turkington held ninth early on before problems for cars ahead saw the 35-year-old collect sixth place.
Sutton won the opening race and took victory in the third race.
Turkington charged past Sutton on the run to the first corner in race two, holding the lead to the end of the race.
The Team BMW driver is now third in the standings, 12 points behind Honda's Gordon Shedden despite being 36 behind at the start of the weekend.
It was a weekend of frustration for Carrick driver Smiley, starting at the back of the grid after qualifying despite showing top-10 pace in practice.
In race one, Smiley made good progress in race one, moving from 27th up to 20th place.
He continued to make progress in race two, running as high as 16th but he was forced off the track by Jack Goff which resigned the 25-year-old to another 20th place finish.
However, Smiley claimed his best BTCC finish to date by crossing the line in 13th place in the final race with a fantastic drive from 19th on the grid.
Daniel Harper had a muted weekend in the Ginetta Junior class, collecting a trio of finishes in ninth, sixth and eighth.
James Turkington, younger brother of Colin, was close to making it a double podium success for the family but he could only finish fourth in the MINI Challenge race at Silverstone after sliding wide on the final lap.
He finished 5th in race two with youngster Reece Barr collecting eighth and sixth place finishes.
Fellow Portadown driver Adam Carroll had a quiet weekend in Formula E's double header in Berlin with 16th and 17th place finishes.
The third-largest city in the US had been battling for the site against San Francisco, California.
The selection of the Mid-west city was a surprise given Lucas' close ties with the state of California.
His home and visual effects company LucasFilm is based there. The museum is currently scheduled to open in 2018.
The news was confirmed by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office on Tuesday, though no further details were offered.
Lucas has referred to Chicago as his "second home" in the past. His wife, Mellody Hobson, is from the city and they celebrated their wedding there.
The city has reportedly offered a patch of real estate along Lake Michigan near other popular attractions including the Field Museum of Natural History and the Shedd Aquarium.
San Francisco is said to have rejected Lucas' first choice of sites near the Golden Gate Bridge.
A vote by the museum's board to accept the decision is expected on Wednesday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The board is also expected to change the museum's name from the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum to the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.
Among the items said to be in the museum's collection are Norman Rockwell paintings and a scale model of the Millennium Falcon, the spacecraft helmed by Han Solo in the original film series.
The Border Search and Rescue Unit was called out to help the pair - both in their 50s - on Saturday afternoon.
They were part of a group of 10 but navigational errors meant they were stuck near Windy Gyle on the Scotland-England border for longer than planned.
BSARU was able to rescue the women who were suffering from dehydration and heat exhaustion.
The party had set out from Langleeford to complete their charity walk but ended up staying out longer than anticipated.
With just one map between them, they split up after a disagreement with two descending on the Scottish side of the border and five returning to their start point on the English side.
The two casualties and a friend were left "hunkering down" on the ridge.
BSARU said they were found easily and returned to their hotel where they were checked over by the Scottish Ambulance Service.
After rest and rehydration they were able to return home.
"It was a pretty straight-forward job for us," said BSARU team-leader Stuart Fuller Shapcott.
"The excellent ground conditions meant that we were able to get a vehicle very close to where it was needed, allowing a very simple evacuation."
However, he said it showed the importance of carrying a map when heading into the hills and also underlined that conditions could be just as dangerous in summer as in winter.
"Heat-injury is a much underestimated hazard, and can be just as lethal as hypothermia," he said.
"The onset can be sudden and symptoms can develop faster.
"When heading into the hills in the summer it is essential that you carry enough water, loose light clothing, a sun-hat and sunblock."
He advised checking weather forecasts in advance and in fine weather to "travel light" but carry a lightweight waterproof and extra layer in case temperatures drop.
"As always, the importance of a map and the necessary navigational skills cannot be overstated," he added. | Lufthansa has cancelled almost 900 flights after it lost an eleventh-hour legal bid to halt a pilots strike.

This is not to underestimate the contribution of traffic emissions but wood burning, according to the experts, was making up half of the pollution readings at some monitors at some sites - all exacerbated by low winds not blowing away pollutants.
So isn't London a clean air zone which is meant to prevent their use? Well, yes.
The Clean Air Act means local councils can set up Smoke Control Areas where only smokeless fuels should be burnt, or wood is burnt only in "exempt appliances".
Homeowners can be fined £1,000, although I haven't found any records of people being fined in London.
Enforcement may be an issue, as it is not usually a priority for London's councils.
But wood stoves are becoming more popular and it seems the emissions from wood burning have increased.
The air quality campaigners Clean Air in London say: "Solid fuels are considerably more polluting that natural gas (the main heating fuel used in London).
"In 2009 coal and wood burning in the home was thought to be responsible for 12% of UK PM10 emissions [source - National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory], whilst research by King's College London suggests around 12% of the PM10 in London's air during winter 2010 arose from wood burning."
That is quite a leap from 12% to 50% in the levels of wood burning on Monday.
Also it is worth noting that even the exempt appliances are not completely clean.
In fact, according to a presentation by The Danish Ecological Council which has looked into the use of wooden stoves: "Just 16,000 wood stoves in Copenhagen (600,000 inhabitants) emit as much fine-particles pollution in one winter, as all traffic emit within one year."
It also says: "New low-emission stoves cause much higher emissions (above 500.000 part/cm3) than new trucks with particulate filters (below 1.000 part/cm3)."
So far mayoral policies have been aimed at cleaning up traffic in particular NO2, but perhaps some attention should focus on the burning of wood in homes.
Simon Birkett from Clean Air In London says: "We need the mayor to educate people and local authorities to enforce the existing Clean Air Act while it's updated."
ClientEarth's air quality lawyer Anna Heslop said: "When pollution is this high then we need to tackle all major sources of it. The biggest cause of chronic and dangerous air pollution all year round comes from diesel vehicles.
"Wood burners can contribute to the most serious smog episodes which we see in winter, like those which Londoners are experiencing at the moment.
"During the worst episodes of very high pollution, people need to be advised not just on the levels but on how they can avoid adding to the pollution, and that means everything from using cleaner transport options and leaving their cars at home to avoiding using wood burners." | If there was one surprise from the recent very high pollution levels, it was the fact that according to King's College some of the pollution was due to "unusually high levels of domestic wood burning". | 38,746,482 | 631 | 42 | false |

Ayshah's been finding out more...
The temporary price cap, which comes into effect in April, was one of the measures recommended by the Competition and Market Authority after its two-year investigation of the energy market.
The levels of the cap vary for gas and electricity by meter type and region.
It will be updated every six months and is expected to stay until 2020.
That is when the roll-out of smart meters is set to be completed, which will benefit prepayment customers who have a smaller choice of tariffs available to them.
However, there have been some concerns about the roll-out of the smart meter programme.
Many prepayment meter customers pay through token or coin operated machines. Some of these customers may have had difficulties paying in the past. Others include some tenants whose landlords have the meters installed in properties.
Competition among suppliers for prepayment customers is less developed than for those who pay by direct debit, cash or cheque, according to Ofgem. This means that there are fewer tariffs available and they are generally more expensive.
Ofgem chief executive Dermot Nolan said: "We want all consumers to enjoy the benefits of a more competitive energy market, regardless of their circumstances.
"Customers who prepay for their energy are denied the best deals on the market available to those using other payment methods.
"They are also more likely to be in vulnerable circumstances, including fuel poverty. This temporary cap will protect these households as we work to deliver a more competitive, fairer and smarter market for all consumers."
Figures published in August last year showed that prepayment customers paid an average of £220 a year more than those on the cheapest deals, so the £80 reduction has been given a guarded welcome by consumer groups.
Gillian Guy, chief executive of Citizens Advice, said: "This cap should stop some of the poorest households paying over the odds to heat and light their homes.
"It will help millions save money but action shouldn't stop there.
"The government has rightly expressed concern that loyal customers on standard tariffs are paying over the odds for their gas and electricity.
"It could help more struggling households, including low-income pensioners and families, by extending this cap to people eligible to receive the Warm Homes Discount."
At the end of December 2015, there were four-and-a-half million prepayment electricity accounts and three-and-a-half million gas accounts - representing 17% and 15% respectively of all accounts in the UK.
Lawrence Slade, chief executive of Energy UK, which represents the major suppliers, said: "The industry is committed to ensuring the remedies work to help all consumers, including those on prepayment meters.
"Only last October, the industry launched new prepayment principles to provide improved safeguards for prepayment customers, showing further commitment from the industry to supporting the most vulnerable consumers.
"These principles, coupled with the rollout of smart meters, will improve the experience of prepayment customers and give customers more control over their energy usage and bills, allowing them to both save energy and money."

McGeady, 31, was brought in from Everton for an undisclosed fee, just five days after Grayson's appointment as Black Cats boss.
The former Celtic player scored eight goals in 35 games last term.
"I didn't know the manager much but he gave me a licence to express myself," McGeady told BBC Look North.
"It was the best thing that could have happened to me, I played the best football I've played for a few years and re-found that love and enjoyment of the game that maybe I'd been missing."
Despite spending three and a half seasons at Goodison Park, Republic of Ireland international McGeady was limited to 43 appearances in all competitions and spent time on loan to Sheffield Wednesday and North End.
He has joined a Sunderland side hoping to turn around their fortunes following relegation last season and a turnover of personnel at the Stadium of Light.
"Obviously the club coming down from the Premier League I suppose we've gone back to basics a bit where they have to start again and build a steady platform," he added.
"The last few years has been battling against relegation, with the new manager and new players we'll reinvigorate the fans and players who are looking to get back up."
Belgian police are meanwhile raiding six properties in and around Brussels, linked to suspected Paris attackers Bilal Hadfi and Salah Abdeslam.
It remains unclear whether the suspected organiser of the attacks was killed in Wednesday's raid in Paris.
Friday's attacks killed 129 people.
Joaquin Gomez Hernandez, 24, attacked 33-year-old escort worker Vanessa Santillan, then tried to blame one of her clients, the Old Bailey was told.
The court heard Gomez Hernandez, who denied murder, launched the attack after earlier finding Ms Santillan with a client at her London flat in March.
He was told he must serve a minimum of 14 and a half years in prison.
The court heard unemployed Gomez Hernandez was jealous and resented having to rely on Ms Santillan for money since their arrival in London from Mexico, two months before her death.
He became angry when Ms Santillan entertained a client after the pair had been out with friends, later attacking her, inflicting massive head and neck injuries, the jury was told.
The court heard he then pretended to find her body and suggested to police that one of her clients had killed her.
Sentencing him to a mandatory life term, Judge Richard Marks QC told Gomez Hernandez: "Vanessa had extensive head injuries and suffered manual strangulation.
"You left her on the floor, naked from the waist down. You then engaged in a pretence and lied to the police.
"Your subsequent conduct - taking Vanessa's property including money and telephones and visiting prostitutes after the attack - was callous in the extreme."
An impact statement from Ms Santillan's family said: "This loss cannot be remedied or changed. It is something that has greatly affected us and hurts a lot.
"Our family will never be the same again without Vanessa. We cannot stop thinking how unjust her death was."
Autonomy's ex-chief financial officer Sushovan Hussain said HP wanted to "cover up its mismanagement of the Autonomy integration".
Mr Hussain's San Francisco court filing is the latest salvo in an ongoing legal battle between HP and Autonomy.
HP dismissed Mr Hussain's complaint as "preposterous".
HP paid $11.1bn for Autonomy, but a year later said it was worth $8.8bn less.
HP and its shareholders have been fighting a legal battle, accusing both Autonomy's founder and former chief executive Michael Lynch, as well as Mr Hussain, of misleading them over the true value of the company.
On 5 August, in a San Francisco court filing, HP said that shareholders and management agreed "that [Mr] Hussain, along with Autonomy's founder and CEO, Michael Lynch, should be accountable for this fraud".
And it accused Mr Hussain of being "one of the chief architects of the massive fraud on HP".
In Tuesday's response, Mr Hussain said he wanted to "shine a light on what HP wants to keep in the dark" and address its "ploy to falsely accuse others".
"HP's opposition swells with bile, but its sound and fury signify nothing," he wrote.
But HP countered Mr Hussain's filing in strong terms.
"The bottom line is that Sushovan Hussain's interests and those of HP and our shareholders are diametrically opposed," the company said in a statement.
"It's preposterous for him to complain about HP and our shareholders joining forces and holding him accountable for the massive fraud that both believe he perpetrated upon the company.
"If [Mr] Hussain is truly interested in clearing his name, he should welcome the coming suit."
More than a year ago, the UK's accounting regulator, the Financial Reporting Council, (FRC) began an investigation into Autonomy's reporting for the accounting period of January 2009 to June 2011, before it was bought by the US firm HP.
That is still under way.
The UK's Serious Fraud Office and the US Department of Justice are also investigating.
Autonomy said at the time it was "fully confident in the financial reporting of the company".
The HP board members that championed the takeover have since left the company.
Meg Whitman took the helm at HP in September 2011, as the Autonomy takeover was being completed.
HP is currently in the middle of a restructuring plan that involves deep job cuts.
Philip Hollobone made the plea in the Commons in support of the wholegrain rectangles, which are produced in his Northamptonshire constituency.
He said the "great British breakfast cereal" should be served at all early meetings held by environment ministers.
Environment Secretary Liz Truss told him she kept a box of the cereal on her desk "for all visitors to see".
"It's a real example of linking farm through to fork," she said.
However, she did not go quite as far as agreeing to the request made by Mr Hollobone, the Conservative MP for Kettering.
In response to the exchange, Speaker of the House, John Bercow, quipped: "We've learnt more about [the secretary of state's] domestic arrangements."
The House of Commons website said it "actively champions the producing, buying and eating of British food".
The seed is from a pumpkin which weighed 2,323lbs (1,054kg) - believed to be a world record.
Ipswich-based seed company Thompson & Morgan won the auction which took place at the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth World Conference held in Hampshire.
Paul Hansord, a company director, said: "Getting hold of this seed is the equivalent of buying Red Rum for stud use."
The 2,323lb pumpkin was grown in Switzerland in 2014 by Beni Meier and it holds the world record for weight, according to the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth organisation.
Thompson & Morgan sponsored the conference which took place in Lymington.

The company is now looking for a grower who can nurture the seed on its behalf.
Mr Hansord said: "Our spend on the Swiss seed may seem a high price to pay, but it will boost the genetics of UK plants moving forward and give us the best chance of seeing the world title brought to the UK for the first time.
"We're looking for someone with the passion, dedication and time to produce a giant specimen."
The firm said the world record holder needed feeding with 150 gallons (680 litres) of fertilized water each day at its peak.
Real were again without the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, who also missed the goalless first leg of their Champions League semi-final at Manchester City.
Striker Karim Benzema was also absent but Bale filled the void with his 19th goal of the season.
Real play the return leg against City on Wednesday night.
Relive how Real Madrid kept their title hopes alive.
Bale had missed a number of chances as Zinedine Zidane's side chased a 10th successive league win to keep the pressure on title rivals Atletico Madrid, who later beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0, and Barcelona, who went back to the top after beating Real Betis 2-0.
But the Wales international, 26, who scored twice as Real beat Rayo Vallecano a week earlier, enhanced Real's chances of a first title success since 2012 when he powerfully headed home a cross from Lucas Vazquez.
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane: "I am happy for him (Bale) because he has had problems this season with injury. But when he is fit you notice.
"We could have scored earlier in the first half, but we had to work until the end against a difficult side.
"I am happy with the performance and to get three points once again."
Rabbis Mendel Epstein and Martin Wolmark asked for more than $50,000 (£32,000) to hire "tough guys" to attack a recalcitrant husband with cattle prods, authorities said.
The men and eight other suspects appeared in federal court on Thursday.
Under Orthodox Jewish belief, a husband must grant permission for a divorce.
The permission comes in the form of a document known as a get.
In some Orthodox communities a woman who has not obtained a get may not marry again even if a civil divorce is finalised.
She may sue in rabbinical court, but some men ignore an unfavourable ruling, even if it means being estranged from the religious community.
The FBI investigation took place in Ocean and Middlesex counties in New Jersey and Rockland County in New York, and involved raids in both states, according to agency officials.
Two undercover FBI agents posing as a woman seeking a divorce and her brother called Rabbi Wolmark for help, and he connected them to Rabbi Epstein, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in New Jersey.
The undercover agents videotaped their meeting.
"Basically, what we are going to be doing is kidnapping a guy for a couple of hours and beating him up and torturing him and then getting him to give the get," Rabbi Epstein is quoted as saying during the conversation, according to the complaint.
He added that the "tough guys" would use electric cattle prods and handcuffs and place a plastic bag over the man's head, according to the complaint.
Rabbi Epstein also allegedly told the undercover agents that such instruments were unlikely to leave a mark, avoiding attention from authorities.
"Basically the reaction of the police is, if the guy does not have a mark on him then, uh, is there some Jewish crazy affair here, they don't want to get involved," he said, according to the criminal complaint.
The FBI said the price was more than $50,000, including $10,000 for a rabbinical court to approve the action. They had wired $20,000 to the accused before the arrests.
"They did it for money," Assistant US Attorney Joseph Gribko said during a hearing on Thursday.
"They didn't do it out of religious conviction."
Rabbi Wolmark's lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, argued his client was caught up in a case where religious law involving "an old tradition" collided with federal statutes.
No pleas were entered for the suspects, and all ten have been ordered held in federal custody until a hearing currently scheduled for next week.
The Egyptian-born Google marketing executive first played a role in organising the opposition through Facebook, only to disappear into police custody for 12 days.
Emerging again, he denied he had done anything heroic at all, instead paying tribute to the young activists who had been on the streets since 25 January.
But his return to the public eye - marked by an emotional TV interview on 7 February which gripped Egyptian viewers - re-energised the movement just as it seemed to be losing steam.
The fact that hundreds of thousands of protesters returned to the streets of Cairo the day after he spoke testifies to his appeal.
He was hailed on Facebook and Twitter as a hero, Egyptian blogger Issandr el-Amrani noted.
"You know how this has been a leaderless movement and they're saying they want to designate him as a leader of the youth component in this movement," Mr Amrani told the BBC World Service.
Mr Ghonim walked free after a campaign waged by Google on behalf of its marketing manager for the Middle East and North Africa.
The search engine giant may not have been aware that its Dubai-based manager had been running a popular Facebook page, with 400,000 Egyptian followers, outside of office hours, BBC technology correspondent Mark Gregory reports.
Named after Khaled Said, a businessman who died in police custody in Alexandria last year, the page played a crucial role in organising the protests.
The "We are all Khaled Said" website became a rallying point for a campaign against police brutality. For many Egyptians, it revealed details of the extent of torture in their country.
The 30-year-old executive says he was blindfolded for most of his time in custody, threatened with torture but not actually hurt.
Soon after being freed, he appeared live on one of Egypt's most watched talk shows, on the Dream 2 television channel.
"This is the revolution of the youth of the internet, which became the revolution of the youth of Egypt, then the revolution of Egypt itself," he said.
"I'm not a hero, I slept for 12 days," he continued.
"The heroes, they're the ones who were in the street, who took part in the demonstrations, sacrificed their lives, were beaten, arrested and exposed to danger."
He was shown video of some of those who had died during the protests, events he was seeing for the first time.
He burst into tears, insisting it was the fault of the authorities, not the campaigners, and left the studio - a human response that provoked a wave of sympathy.
"Ghonim's tears have moved millions and turned around the views of those who supported [Mubarak] staying," the website masrawy.com wrote two hours after the interview.
At least 130,000 people have joined a Facebook page titled "I delegate Wael Ghonim to speak in the name of Egypt's revolutionaries" since the interview, the Associated Press news agency reports.
Addressing the giant rally on Tahrir Square on 8 February, Mr Ghonim declared: "We won't give up."
Fifi Shawqi, a 33-year-old upper-class housewife, said she had come to the square with her three daughters and sister for the first time after seeing the interview with Mr Ghonim, whom she had never heard of before the TV appearance.
"I felt like he is my son and all the youth here are my sons," she told AP.
During his TV interview, the Google executive came over as a passionate Egyptian patriot, who even expressed some empathy for the officers who had interrogated him because they, too, seemed to love their country.
"They were 100% convinced that foreigners are behind us, that someone manipulates and finances us," he said.
"But if I was a traitor I would have stayed in my villa with my swimming pool in the Emirates. We are not traitors."
Google issued a statement welcoming its employee's release, without commenting on his political role.
Mr Ghonim has thanked Google for its support, explaining that he tricked the corporation into allowing him to return to Egypt from Dubai last month, citing a "personal problem".
It is not yet clear what, if any, political ambitions the young executive harbours, beyond "putting an end to all the rubbish" in Egypt.
Shaun Maloney's deflected shot off John O'Shea just after half-time clawed the Scots back into a match they had barely been part of in the opening period.
Jon Walters had given the Irish a deserved lead, tapping in from an offside position.
The result leaves Scotland third, on 11 points, and Ireland fourth on nine.
Poland lead the group on 14 points, with world champions Germany second, two points above the Scots, after thrashing Gibraltar 7-0.
The result in Dublin certainly favours the visitors, particularly after they were under the cosh for the first 45 minutes.
Republic boss Martin O'Neill had spoken all week about the need to begin the match on the front foot and from the outset the hosts looked sharper, stronger and hungrier for victory.
They snapped into challenges, pressurising the Scots who appeared nervous, none more so than defender Craig Forsyth, starting his first competitive international.
The Irish exploited that, with Seamus Coleman consistently finding space and time on the right, the only saving grace the full-back's poor delivery.
David Marshall had not had a save to make, however, until he tipped over a Daryl Murphy header.
From the resultant Robbie Brady corner, Murphy again forced a save from the keeper, but this time it fell beautifully for Walters to tap in, with the officials failing to notice he was in an offside position.
It was no more than the Republic deserved, but the match turned on the first moment of class from Scotland, seconds after the interval.
Maloney combined with Steven Naismith and the man whose goal beat the Irish in November curled the ball goalwards and into the back of the net via O'Shea's back.
That buoyed the Scots, though they could have fallen behind again minutes later, Marshall blocking Murphy's shot with his legs.
The tension was palpable as the match wore on, with the home side still dominating, though Given had to claw away a deflected Ikechi Anya cross that might have found a way into the net.
But to the anguish of the majority of the crowd inside the Aviva Stadium, there was to be no late goal as there had been here against Poland.
At the end of a pulsating battle, Scotland remain better positioned to challenge for an automatic top-two qualification spot for next summer's finals in France.
But the major winners of the day in Group D were leaders Poland, who are now three points above the Scots, after beating Georgia 4-0. Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick in the final two minutes of the game.
After arriving with other leaders of G20 nations for a summit in the city of Hangzhou, Mr Obama said: "History will judge today's effort as pivotal."
CO2 emissions are the driving force behind climate change.
Last December, countries agreed to cut emissions in a bid to keep the global average rise in temperatures below 2C.
What is climate change?
What does the climate deal mean for me?
The Paris deal is the world's first comprehensive climate agreement. It will only come into force legally after it is ratified by at least 55 countries, which between them produce 55% of global carbon emissions.
Members of China's National People's Congress Standing Committee adopted "the proposal to review and ratify the Paris Agreement" on Saturday morning at the end of a week-long session.
This is a big step towards turning the Paris climate agreement into reality.
Other nations will still tussle over their own ratification, but this will put pressure on G20 nations over the weekend to move faster with their pledge to phase out subsidies to fossil fuels.
But even if enough other players step forward to make the Paris deal law, huge challenges lie ahead.

Before China made its announcement, the 23 nations that had so far ratified the agreement accounted for just over 1% of emissions.
The UK has yet to ratify the Paris deal. A spokesman for the prime minister told BBC News that the government would ratify as soon as possible - but gave no date.
The White House issued a statement on Saturday morning announcing the US move.
In a speech in Hangzhou, Mr Obama said the Paris deal was the "single best chance that have to deal with a problem that could end up transforming this planet".
He praised US and Chinese leadership on the climate issue, saying: "We are moving the world significantly towards the goal we have set."
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon praised Mr Obama for what he called "inspiring" leadership.
Mr Ban said Mr Obama and China's President Xi Jinping had both been "far-sighted, bold and ambitious".
However, analysts warn that the target of keeping temperature rises below 2C is already in danger of being breached.
For 14 consecutive months meteorologists have recorded the hottest month on record, and the UK's Met Office has forecast that 2016 is likely to hit temperatures 1.1C above pre-industrial levels.
Average temperatures worldwide are likely to increase more in the coming years as the effect of previous carbon emissions makes itself felt.
Environmental campaigning group Friends of the Earth welcomed the move by China and the US.
But spokesman Asad Rehman added: "The Paris agreement is a step in the right direction, but the reality is it's too weak and delays action to the next decade.
"What's needed is comprehensive and urgent action now to slash emissions and build a low-carbon future."
The G20 summit in Hangzhou starts on Sunday.
This is expected to be Mr Obama's last trip to Asia as US president.
However, as he arrived there was a security dispute on the tarmac at Hangzhou airport as White House officials, including National Security Adviser Susan Rice, and reporters tried to get closer to the president. A Chinese official shooed them away shouting: "This is our country! This is our airport!"
Anthony Grainger, 36, from Bolton was killed when he was shot in the chest during a Greater Manchester Police operation in Cheshire on 3 March 2012.
He was shot through the windscreen of a stolen Audi in a car park in Culcheth.
The inquiry into his death heard firearms officers involved did not give full statements for six days.
Liverpool Crown Court heard an officer, referred to as W9 to protect his identity, told the court that on 8 March 2012 there had been a meeting with firearm officers involved in the investigation which led to Mr Grainger's shooting death and V53, the officer who fatally shot 29-year-old Mark Duggan in Tottenham, north London in 2011.
W9 said it was held to discuss their welfare and post-incident procedure.
Q9 - the officer who shot Mr Grainger - also attended.
W9 told the inquiry he could not recall if Q9 and V53 went for a private meeting.
Leslie Thomas QC, representing Mr Grainger's family, asked W9 if he thought it "a bit odd" the man who shot Mark Duggan - came up to Manchester for a meeting with all the firearms officers in this case.
W9 said: "No, because we'd not been in that situation before.
"He's saying what's happened to him, he's not giving, or he wasn't giving me, advice."
The inquiry heard details of the meeting had only come to light on Tuesday.
W9 told the court some officers were getting a "bit frustrated" at the delay in giving statements.
The inquiry heard the officers were all taken to the same room - which had a flip chart with details about the day on - to write statements on 9 March.
W9 said it only had information such as timings which could have been found on logs.
Q9 a serving officer who had be began giving evidence to the inquiry earlier. He said he had been an authorised firearms officer for six years when Mr Grainger died.
The inquiry continues.
Luis Enrique confirmed he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season, and former defender Koeman is being linked with a return to the Nou Camp.
The Everton boss, 53, won four league titles and the European Cup in his six years there as a player.
"For me personally and the lads, we obviously hope he stays," said Toffees defender Williams.
"He's started building a team here and we're all confident the future looks good for Everton.
"But he might have his own ambitions. I can't speak for what he wants from his managerial career but from our point of view, definitely we enjoy working with him," the 32-year-old added.
Koeman took over as Everton boss in June 2016 and his team are on course to finish in the top seven of the Premier League for the first time in three years.
Until Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Tottenham, they were unbeaten in nine league matches.
Thirteen factory workers were forced off a bus and executed by shabiha members in a village near Qusair, in the west of the country, they said.
Correspondents say the video shows a group of bodies with hideous injuries.
The UN Human Rights Council has meanwhile begun an emergency session to discuss the violence in Syria.
It is expected to blame pro-government forces for last week's massacre in Houla, in which more than 100 people died, including 49 children.
On Thursday, a Syrian government investigation into the killings blamed armed rebel groups seeking to trigger foreign military intervention.
The US permanent representative to the UN, Susan Rice, dismissed the finding as a "blatant lie", for which there was no factual evidence.
On Thursday evening, activists posted on the internet two videos showing the bodies of the 13 men who they said had been killed in al-Buwaida al-Sharqiya, a village between Qusair and the city of Homs, earlier that day.

Houla: How a massacre unfolded
Timeline: Syria's massacres
One video showed a group of bodies sprawled on the ground, with hideous injuries consistent with their having been shot dead at close range in the head or stomach, reports the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut.
Another video showed the bodies laid out on the floor of a building, with relatives grieving over them, our correspondent adds.
Activists said the murdered men were workers from a fertiliser factory whose bus was intercepted by shabiha members. They first of all robbed the workers, then took them off the bus, forced them to chant pro-government slogans and executed them, the activists added.
The account cannot be independently verified, but twice in the past week, UN ceasefire observers on the ground have corroborated similar claims from activists - most recently the killing of 13 men in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour, and before that, the massacre in the Houla area of Homs province.
Residents of the village of Taldou said the shabiha had been sent into their village early on Saturday after the Syrian army unleashed a barrage of heavy weapons late on Friday in response to a local anti-government protest.
The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said most of the 108 victims had been shot at close range or stabbed. No more than 20 had been killed by tank and artillery fire preceding the raid, it added.
The UN Human Rights Council, the world's top human rights body, is
meeting in emergency session to discuss Syria
and is expected to condemn the Houla massacre in the strongest possible terms.
A draft resolution refers to "the wanton killings of civilians by shooting at close range and by severe physical abuse by pro-regime elements and a series of government artillery and tank shellings of a residential neighbourhood", and demands that Syria allow in human rights investigators and aid agencies immediately.
But the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva says the 47-member council has no real power. It cannot impose sanctions on Syria, neither can it order the UN Security Council to act.
And, our correspondent adds, with continued disagreement within the UN - neither Russia nor China supported the council meeting - and continued fighting in Syria, the prospect of an end to human rights violations, let alone the prosecution of those responsible, seems a very long way off.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is expected to face pressure over Syria from the leaders of Germany and France when he visits Berlin and Paris. Russia has blocked Security Council action against Syria's government.
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague is meanwhile scheduled to meet representatives of the Syrian opposition in Turkey.
Mr Hague told the BBC that the situation was so grave and deteriorating so rapidly that all options were still on the table.
He warned that military intervention would have to be on a much bigger scale than in Libya and have to have "very broad international support".
Bale, 25, was the subject of criticism from fans and media as Real failed to win La Liga and the Champions League.
The Wales forward was linked with a return to the Premier League but has said he will stay at the Bernabeu.
"My own opinion is that we will probably see, for one reason or another, Cristiano move from Madrid before Gareth," Toshack said.
Forward Ronaldo, 30, has been a Real Madrid player since signing from Manchester United for £80m in 2009.
Bale joined Real from Tottenham for a world-record fee of £85.3m in 2013, helping the Spanish club claim their 10th European title in his first season.
The Welshman scored 22 goals in his debut campaign followed by 17 in his second.
"You do need time to adapt and obviously for the money they paid for Bale and at the age that he is, he's still got a lot to do," Toshack added.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I hope Gareth will get the opportunity to play in an area of the field where he can do most damage.
"I'm not so sure wide is Gareth's best position. I think Cristiano has got a bit do with that.
"He was always a number seven, but likes to play left side and I think Gareth suffers a bit for that."
Toshack, who was Wales manager when Bale made his debut as a 16-year-old in 2006, had two spells at Real Madrid. The Spanish side appointed Rafa Benitez as their new coach on 3 June.
Former Liverpool and Chelsea manager Benitez was in Cardiff recently to see Bale score in Wales' 1-0 win over Belgium in a Euro 2016 qualifier.
Ex-Liverpool and Cardiff City striker Toshack now coaches Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca and believes Benitez is a good choice as Carlo Ancelotti's successor.
"Rafa's got all the credentials, there's no question about that," Toshack added.
"Rafa was at Madrid at the time I was there, working with the junior sides.
"They're full on with Benitez now in Spain, in particular the newspaper Marca.
"Everyday it's 'Rafa's going to do this and Rafa's going to do that' but we just have to wait and see."
The Great Tapestry of Scotland is officially the world's largest embroidered tapestry, at 469ft (143m) long.
It uses 300 miles (483km) of yarn to show everything from the Battle of Bannockburn and the Act of Union to Andy Murray winning at Wimbledon.
The tapestry is on show in the castle's Great Hall until 8 March.
Stirling Castle is featured on a number of panels in the tapestry, including one of former resident Mary Queen of Scots.
The castle's Great Hall of James IV is one of the few places where the enormous tapestry can be displayed in its entirety.
Lorna Ewan, head of visitor experience, content and learning for Historic Scotland, which runs Stirling Castle, said: "To date more than 200,000 people have had the chance to view The Great Tapestry of Scotland on its national tour.
"Now, through a carefully designed exhibition, the public will see the full extent of the tapestry - all 160 hand-embroidered panels - in the surroundings of Stirling Castle's Great Hall.
"This exhibition will allow visitors to follow the journey of Scotland's history, and we look forward to welcoming people to Stirling Castle to view this impressive piece of art."
The initiative is part of a nationwide electricity rationing plan.
Vice-President Jorge Arreaza said there had been a surge in energy demand due to extremely hot weather. He said state employees would now work from 07:30-13:00 to save on air conditioning.
On Monday, local media reported blackouts across the country.
Mr Arreaza said private companies would be asked to use their own generators to reduce pressure on the national grid.
But he said it was private homeowners who consumed the most energy, and he called for everyone to turn the dial down on their air conditioners.
"We are appealing to everyone's conscience, to use energy efficiently."
Last week the government claimed that energy problems were due to maintenance issues, but the opposition criticised the government for not investing enough in the energy sector, BBC Venezuela correspondent Daniel Pardo reports.
Power outages are common in Venezuela, which is a big oil producer but depends heavily on hydro-electric power.
Venezuela is also struggling with an economy in recession that has been hard hit by the fall in the price of oil. Some 96% of its export revenues are reported to come from oil.
Inflation is also high, and stood at more than 60% in 2014.
In 2010, 405 children were subject to a child protection plan compared to 545 in 2014 - a rise of 35%, the biggest increase in south-west England.
The plans are designed to protect the most vulnerable children.
Plymouth City Council said the rise was due to "heightened public awareness".
The figures, released in a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, show 67 unborn babies were added to the register in 2014, compared to a low of 47 in 2011.
Most of them were subject to a plan because of the risk of neglect or physical injury.
Chris Cuthbert, from children's charity the NSPCC, said the rise may look "alarming" but it actually means "children are receiving help early on".
"Even though some authorities face huge budget pressures and increasingly challenging caseloads, recognising risks and providing services before birth can give parents the best opportunity to change their behaviour before the baby is born."
The charity said the rise was "significant" but it appeared the council had "focused on the problem" of children being at risk by issuing more plans.

Some other councils in the South West also reported a rise over the five-year period but not to the same extent as Plymouth.
Torbay Council saw an increase of 22% from 345 children in 2010, to 421 in 2014, while in 2010 Devon County Council had 436 children subject to plans compared to 515 in 2014 - a rise of 18%.
Cornwall Council saw a drop of 16% from 355 plans in 2010 to 297 in 2014.
Plymouth City Council said: "We have received a substantial increase in the number of referrals from the public and professionals and this seems to be a national trend."
The authority said it believed the rise was due to "heightened public awareness", following several high-profile national cases.
"This, coupled with other current influencing factors like the economy, which has put pressure on family finances, has resulted in a marked increase in the number of children in need of some form of safeguarding."

The competition commissioner said she had issued a "statement of objections", stating that the firm's promotion of its own shopping links amounted to an abuse of its dominance in search.
Margrethe Vestager said Google now had 10 weeks to respond.
The firm said it "strongly disagreed" with the allegations and looked forward to making its case.
Ms Vestager also revealed that she had launched an investigation into whether the way Google bundled apps and services for its Android operating system was unfair.
And the commissioner said the EU would continue to monitor other activities by Google that its rivals had complained about.
It follows a five-year investigation into the company and marks the start of a formal legal process that could ultimately lead to billions of euros of fines.
Google accounts for more than a 90% of EU-based web searches.
The European Commission has investigated the antitrust allegations - made by Microsoft, Tripadvisor, Streetmap and others - since 2010.
Among their complaints was an objection to Google placing adverts from its Shopping service ahead of others' links in relevant searches.
Ms Vestager said the Commission's preliminary findings supported the claim that Google "systematically" gave prominence to its own ads, which amounted to an abuse of its dominant position in search.
"I'm concerned that Google has artificially boosted its presence in the comparison shopping market with the result that consumers may not necessarily see what's most relevant for them, or that competitors may not get the the commercial opportunity that their innovative services deserve," she told a press conference in Brussels.
Ms Vestager said that she was not seeking a wider redesign of Google's search results or asking it to change its algorithms.
But she added that the case could set a precedent that would determine how the EU handled other complaints about Google favouring its own mapping, hotels and flights services.
Google has rejected the idea its Shopping service distorts the market.
"While Google may be the most used search engine, people can now find and access information in numerous different ways - and allegations of harm, for consumers and competitors, have proved to be wide of the mark," wrote its search chief Amit Singhal on the firm's blog.
"It's clear that: (a) there's a ton of competition - including from Amazon and eBay, two of the biggest shopping sites in the world and (b) Google's shopping results have not the harmed the competition.
"Any economist would say that you typically do not see a ton of innovation, new entrants or investment in sectors where competition is stagnating - or dominated by one player. Yet that is exactly what's happening in our world."
Many of Google's rivals welcomed the EU's action.
"Google's abuse of dominance distorts European markets, harms consumers, and makes it impossible for Google's rivals to compete on a level playing field," said lobbying group Icomp.
"We see this statement of objection as a crucial first step towards ensuring that European consumers have access to vibrant and competitive online markets."
The EU has also launched a separate investigation into Google's Android operating system, used by smartphones and tablets, which will focus on three topics:
"These issues are distinct from the Google comparison shopping case and the investigations will of course be different," Ms Vestager said.
In response, Google stressed that Android devices could be offered without its services.
"It's important to remember that [our partner agreements] are voluntary - you can use Android without Google - but provide real benefits to Android users, developers and the broader ecosystem," said lead engineer Hiroshi Lockheimer.
"Our app distribution agreements make sure that people get a great 'out of the box' experience with useful apps right there on the home screen. This also helps manufacturers of Android devices compete with Apple, Microsoft and other mobile ecosystems that come preloaded with similar baseline apps."
Google could ultimately face huge fines and be ordered to reshape its business in Europe because of the shopping complaint.
In recent years, the Commission has imposed antitrust penalties on other tech giants, ordering Intel to pay €1.1bn (£793m; $1.2bn) in 2009, and Microsoft €516m in 2013.
However, Ms Vestager said she was "open" to Google's response, and would listen to its case before deciding how to proceed.
One independent expert said that the matter could take years to resolve.
"I can't see that this will be a fast process given the complexity of the subject matter, what's at stake and the likely level of the fine," said Paul Henty, a lawyer at Charles Russell Speechlys who has previously worked for the European Commission.
The EU's investigation is not the only one Google is facing.
Investigators at India's Competition Commission delivered a report last week after carrying out a three-year probe into claims of unfair business practices.

But that's exactly what happened to Wigan's Ben Flower during Super League's showpiece with St Helens at Old Trafford on Saturday night.
He'd barely got his shorts dirty, when in the second minute, he punched Lance Hohaia to the floor and then landed a second blow while on the ground.
The 26-year-old became the first player ever to be sent off in a rugby league Grand Final.

The bank reported a profit of €278m (£248m), a big turnaround from a €6bn loss in the same period last year.
Deutsche Bank said the "tough interest rate environment" and "unsettling effect" of negotiations with US authorities had been felt.
Concerns persist over the position of the bank as the size of a fine in the US remains undetermined.
Deutsche has been threatened with a $14bn (£11.5bn) fine from the US Department of Justice over the mis-selling of mortgage-backed securities in the run-up to the financial crisis.
And earlier this year, the International Monetary Fund described it as the biggest risk to the global banking system.
The bank has been cutting costs and selling businesses in attempt to reassure investors.
Chief executive John Cryan said that the bank's restructuring work had been "overshadowed" by the attention being paid to the bank's talks concerning the "matter" in the US.
"The bank is working hard on achieving a resolution of this issue as soon as possible," he said.
But in a letter to staff he added that "unfortunately, we have to assume that the situation will stay difficult for a while".
Mr Cryan said the bank's latest results demonstrated the strength of its operating business.
Deutsche Bank reported a 2% rise in sales in its third quarter to €7.5bn, which was better than analysts had been expecting.
"Deutsche has done better than anticipated, but that was against very low expectations, which has really been the banking story so far this quarter," said Peter Hahn, a professor at the London Institute of Banking and Finance.
Operating profit for the April-to-June quarter fell 5.4% to 53.32bn yen ($430m; £275m).
Mazda said that earnings were mostly pulled down by depreciation costs for new factories in Thailand and Mexico.
However, global sales rose by 16%, boosted by demand for the Mazda2 and CX-3 model. Sales in China jumped 31%, and were 5.6% higher in North America.
Europe was the only region that saw sales fall.
The company left its forecast for full-year operating profits unchanged at 210bn yen, up from 203bn yen last year.
Rival carmaker Nissan reported results on Wednesday, with first quarter operating profit up by 57% to 193.71bn.
It said the weak Japanese yen had helped to boost sales in the US.
The two men, Manuel Lopez Ambrosio and Mauricio Lopez Bonilla, have been accused of using public funds to buy a helicopter that was given as a gift to former President Otto Perez Molina.
He was arrested in September after standing down amid widespread anti-corruption protests.
Mr Perez Molina denies all the charges.
Mr Lopez Ambrosio served as defence minister and Mr Lopez Bonilla as interior minister in Mr Perez Molina's government.
They are facing several charges, including money laundering and conspiracy.
The government was brought down last year by a scandal involving Guatemala's customs services.
Vice-President Roxana Baldetti was forced to resign in May after the scandal became public, prompting Guatemalans to take to the streets in anger.
Ms Baldetti was accused of running the bribery scheme. She has denied the accusations.
The scandal has been dubbed "La Linea", or "The Line", after the hotline businesses allegedly rang to clear their imports through customs at cut-price rates.
Protests demanding the resignation of the president went on for months in the impoverished Central American nation last year.
Mr Perez Molina finally stood down on 2 September, four months before the end of his term. He was arrested a day later.
A former television comedian with no previous experience in government, Jimmy Morales, was elected in the scheduled October presidential elections.
He took office in January promising to fight corruption in Guatemala.
The corruption investigations are being headed by the UN-backed International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG).
The commission was set in 2006 to help Guatemala reform its justice system and confront criminal gangs that had infiltrated the state.
Over a decade, the All Wales Ethnic Minority Association (Awema) received £7m, much of it from Welsh ministers.
On Wednesday, the commission said Awema was vulnerable because trustees did not put the right safeguards in place.
Chief executive Naz Malik was cleared of two counts of fraud against the charity at Swansea Crown Court in 2014.
Awema, which was based in the city, was created to help people from ethnic minorities access public services and give them more opportunities in life.
But in January 2012 serious concerns were raised about how the charity was run by Mr Malik.
That year, BBC Wales revealed how allegations were raised by staff members about sexual harassment as well as a conflict of interest arising from Mr Malik's daughter being employed and promoted within the organisation.
A Wales Audit Office (WAO) report into the scandal in that year concluded it should be seen as a "wake up call" for the Welsh Government's grant funding approach.
The report said warnings about Awema were not heeded for a decade and millions of pounds were awarded.
On Wednesday, a Charity Commission report highlighted its concerns about Awema's trustees.
The report said: "The failure of the trustees to put appropriate safeguards in place left the charity vulnerable to its resources being misused, which did in fact materialise."
The 2012 WAO report highlighted how Awema funds were used to pay for gym membership for staff worth £2,120, rugby and cricket tickets totalling £800, and a £110 parking fine for Mr Malik.
Other revelations included:
In 2014, Mr Malik was cleared of two counts of fraud against the charity at Swansea Crown Court.
A jury failed to reach a decision on a third count, relating to the credit card debts.
Mr Malik insisted that the payments were made to himself for expenses.
On Wednesday, the Charity Commission also revealed that Mr Malik had used the charity's expenses to pay for "luxury hotel" stays and would "spend large sums at business cost at restaurants on food and alcohol".
The report said: "Records and invoices examined as part of the inquiry indicate that whilst travelling on charity business, the CEO [chief executive officer] and other staff members would stay in hotels costing in excess of £150 per night, whilst staying overnight in places such as Kent and Llandudno.
"They would simultaneously spend large sums at business cost at restaurants on food and alcohol."
The Charity Commission said Awema's trustees were not given enough training about their roles and responsibilities, and this led to a "lack of clarity amongst the trustees over who had authority to authorise the CEO's expenses".
The report continued: "This uncertainty resulted in poor controls over the authorisation of expenses resulting in a situation where the CEO was potentially able to issue himself cheques for large sums, including projected future expenses, with no meaningful oversight from the trustees."
Senior figures from the BBC, New York Times and CNN are among the signatories.
Peter Greste, Mohamed Fadel Fahmy, and Baher Mohamed were detained by Egyptian authorities on 29 December.
The letter calls for an end to their "arbitrary imprisonment".
It also calls for the release of fellow journalists, some of whom have been held in Egypt for over five months.
"The arrest of these journalists has cast a cloud over press and media freedom in Egypt," the letter says.
"We strongly believe that upholding the rights of journalists and permitting the free flow of information is vital to bringing about greater understanding and serves the best interests of all Egyptians and the world."
The BBC's Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen and chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet are among the senior media figures who have signed the statement.
They also include CNN's chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour, Associated Press senior managing editor for international news John Daniszewski, the New York Times international editor Joseph Kahn and the Middle East bureau chief for the Economist, Max Rodenbeck.
Mr Greste, Mr Fahmy and Mr Mohamed were remanded in custody for 15 days on 31 December, and their detention was extended for a further 15 days last Thursday.
They are being held in "harsh prison conditions", says a news release accompanying the statement.
No charges have been brought, but reports suggest the men are accused by prosecutors of belonging to an illegal terrorist group - the Muslim Brotherhood - and helping promote its objectives.
They are also accused of broadcasting "false news... that undermines the national interest".
At least five other journalists have been detained for over five months in Egypt, says the Committee to Protect Journalists - Metin Turkan of Turkish Radio and Television Corporation; Abdullah Al-Shamy and Mohamed Badr of al-Jazeera; Mahmoud Abdel Nabi of Rassd Online News; and freelance photographer Mahmoud Abou Zeid.
Al-Jazeera spokesman Ghassan Abu Hussein has called the journalists' detention an attempt "to stigmatise us, and further incite violence against our journalists working on the ground".
Egyptian authorities have accused al-Jazeera of bias in favour of the Muslim Brotherhood since the army overthrew President Mohammed Morsi in July.
Devon and Cornwall Police wrote a letter to Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) after it said the force "requires improvements".
The watchdog said changes had been made but "significant work" had to be done.
However, the force accused the HMIC of making "inaccurate, adverse comments".
The report looked at how England's police forces protected and supported vulnerable people, including victims of domestic abuse.
In relation to Devon and Cornwall, it said "there is still significant work to do" but the force has "acted on the messages" of the previous report in 2014 and is now tackling domestic abuse as "an important priority".
Wendy Williams, HMIC Inspector, said: "The force effectively identifies vulnerable victims.
"Its sexual offences and domestic abuse investigation teams provide a specialist response to crimes committed against vulnerable victims.
"However, the teams are not yet fully resourced which means that some vulnerable victims do not receive this tailored support."
In the six page letter, Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer said the HMIC was "failing to understand" work that had been done since the previous assessment, and called its conclusions "unfathomable".
He wrote: "The positives far outweigh the negatives and do not appear congruent with the overall grading given.
"I formally ask that the assessment is reviewed."
Ms Williams told the BBC: "It's undoubtedly the case that Devon and Cornwall Police has invested significantly in the needs of vulnerable victims.
"However, when we inspected, which was admittedly six months ago, the force was in a state of transition.
"We inspect at a point in time and we acknowledge that many of the processes that had been put in place were in their transitional phase."
Across the country, the HMIC judged 12 forces to be 'good', 27 forces to 'require improvement' and four forces to be 'inadequate'.
Police sources said no reply to the letter had been received by the force.
About 4,000 demonstrators gathered in the centre of the western city. Some smashed shop and car windows, threw firecrackers and set rubbish alight.
Police declared a riot and made 26 arrests. Oregon voted in favour of Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's election.
After blaming unrest on "professional protesters", Mr Trump tweeted to commend their "passion" for America.
"Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country," he wrote. "We will all come together and be proud!"
In his earlier tweet, he had accused the media of inciting the protests.
The protesters, mainly young people, say a Trump presidency would create deep divisions along racial and gender lines.
In another development, the incoming president also tweeted that Friday would be "busy", and he would "soon be making some very important decisions on the people who will be running our government".
Mr Trump met President Barack Obama at the White House on Thursday.
Police in Portland accused some demonstrators of carrying bats and arming themselves with stones. Objects were thrown at the police, who responded with pepper spray and rubber baton rounds.
Protesters in the city centre could be heard chanting "We reject the president-elect!"
Spencer and Kristen Foxworth, who left the protest before it turned violent, told the BBC most of the demonstrators were just ordinary people like themselves who were horrified by some of the things Mr Trump stood for.
"This is not any sense of a hangover, this is more like the galvanising effect," Mr Foxworth told Outside Source. "People who were quiet, were polite or not activists by any means - I mean myself, for example - are now galvanised by this. Trump now has the Senate and the House, and there will be very little checks and balances on his actions."
There were no reports of violence at the other protests:
Senior Trump adviser and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, tipped by some to be the next attorney general, called protesters on college campuses "a bunch of spoiled cry-babies".
Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said anti-Trump protesters had to accept the election results.
"Everyone needs to just take a deep breath, take the weekend... count our blessings, and let's come back on Monday," he told ABC News.
Mr Trump's team is understood to be focused on quickly filling key national security posts.
It is not yet clear who will sit his cabinet or fill senior posts in his administration, such as chief of staff, but several figures in his inner circle have been mentioned.
The president-elect's transition team for the 10-week period until inauguration will be led by Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey.
After meeting President Obama at the White House, the president-elect said it had been a "great honour" to meet him.
Mr Obama said his priority was to "facilitate a transition that ensures our president-elect is successful".
Despite their cordiality, Mr Trump has vowed to dismantle much of President Obama's legacy. That includes Obamacare, the act extending medical insurance to more Americans than ever before.
Mr Trump also met Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan, with whom he had strained relations during the campaign. Mr Ryan described it as a "fantastic, productive meeting".

The incident, which also involved a car, left both carriageways completely blocked.
The road was closed between junction 6, A5 / A5114 (Llangefni), and junction 5, A4080 (Gwalchmai).
Earlier on Thursday, a motorcyclist was left with serious injuries following a crash on the A55 at Bodedern.
It will be an "absolute" cap, based on the way limits for pre-payment meters have worked since the beginning of April.
The party has rejected the idea of a relative cap, which would limit the difference between the cheapest fixed-price deal and the more expensive Standard Variable Tariff (SVT) to, say, 6%.
That model was particularly controversial, as critics said suppliers would simply increase the price of fixed-rate deals, to maintain the differential with SVTs.
The idea of any form of capping was rejected by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) last summer.
However, when it issued its final report, the CMA admitted its members were divided on the issue.
If the Conservatives win the election, the regulator Ofgem would be asked to introduce a price cap along the lines of one introduced in April to cap prices on households with pre-payment meters.
Currently 16% of consumers are forced to buy their energy in advance, usually because their credit rating is poor.
The CMA ordered a cap on their charges because such households do not benefit from the competition that exists for all other consumers.
Under this system, the CMA has come up with an initial maximum figure for prices in each region of the UK, usually in line with the cheapest existing pre-payment meter tariff.
That number is adjusted every six months, taking into account wholesale energy costs, inflation, environmental obligations and the cost of transporting energy around the network.
But the CMA has always stressed that the pre-payment meter cap is temporary. By the time every home has a smart meters installed, it expects competition between suppliers to be working properly. As a result this cap is due to expire in 2020.
The cap is also designed to allow suppliers to price below the level of the cap if they want to.
However, critics say that suppliers would be likely to increase their prices up to the level of the cap.
"In New Zealand, a price cap resulted in price bunching up around the cap, and a loss of competition," said Iain Conn, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica.
He also said that a cap in Spain resulted in a shortfall in infrastructure spending, which had to be plugged by the government.
An absolute cap would be fundamentally different to the controls advocated by Labour leader Ed Miliband in the run-up to the 2015 election.
He had proposed a price freeze for just 20 months. As far as we know, the Tory cap would be permanent.
Consumer groups are generally opposed to the idea of any sort of cap, as it would tend to give consumers a false sense of security.
Householders might think they are getting a good deal, so would make even less effort to switch suppliers.
"They're really difficult to get to work in practice," says Richard Neudegg, head of regulation at comparison site Uswitch.
He also believes that a cap would create higher prices in the long term, and entrench the position of the big six suppliers.
At the end of its two-year enquiry the CMA rejected the idea of a price cap on standard variable tariffs, saying that a cap would run an "excessive risk" of undermining the competition process.
Nevertheless the economist Martin Cave, a member of the enquiry, argued that a broader cap was necessary "to address the scale of detriment" because millions of the poorest consumers are still paying too much for their gas and electricity.
In December 2016 Ofgem said that 66% of consumers were still on expensive SVTs, and paying up to £260 a year too much.
Since then, five of the big six suppliers have announced plans to raise their SVT prices, or have already done so.
There is also some evidence that fixed-price deals have also risen, closing the gap with SVTs.
But whether that is because of increasing wholesale costs - or because suppliers have been acting to mitigate the effects of a cap in advance - is hard to determine.
While Ofgem has repeatedly said there was no justification for them doing so, it has so far refused to comment on the Conservative idea of a cap.

The four-time major winner was five over par after six holes, but had four birdies on the back nine to card a 71.
He revealed caddie JP Fitzgerald lifted him on the sixth tee, saying: "You're Rory McIlroy, what are you doing?"
Meanwhile, co-leader Jordan Spieth rated his display as "nine out of 10".
The world number three shot a bogey-free round and is tied for the lead on five under par with fellow Americans Brooks Koepka, the US Open champion, and Matt Kuchar.
However, the 23-year-old will tee off in round two on Friday afternoon, which is when the weather forecast is predicting the strongest wind and heaviest rain.
"Given the forecast coming in, I thought you really needed to be in the red," said Spieth, a two-time major winner.
"Everything was strong. I give it a nine across the board for everything - tee balls, ball-striking, short game and putting. So things are in check. It's just about keeping it consistent.
"I'd call it a top five major round that I've played."
Northern Ireland's McIlroy, 28, has struggled for form this year after being affected by a rib injury, and missed the cut at the US Open, Irish Open and Scottish Open in recent weeks.
He said he thought he was destined for "another weekend off" before a pep talk from Fitzgerald changed his round.
He told BBC Radio 5 live: "It was a rough start, I was just indecisive out there. Mentally I was not engaged and I was half caught between playing the golf shot I needed to and my golf swing.
"My caddie JP gave me a talking to which helped to keep me positive. He tried to remind me who I was and that I had won this tournament before. He told me not to feel any pressure and to play my game and I started to play my game after that.
"It was nice to make birdies coming in. At least I feel I got myself back out of the hole I was in and get back into the tournament.
McIlroy, who will tee off at 09:47 BST on Friday, added: "With the weather expected tomorrow I feel like I am still right in this golf tournament. I will go out and play a good quality round of golf in the morning and try and get in the clubhouse somewhere around even par or under par and I will be well there for the weekend."

Spain's Jon Rahm was at the centre of a rules controversy for the second time in two weeks.
He was penalised two shots for moving a plant close to his ball on the 17th hole but the penalty was lifted after rules officials accepted his explanation that the lie of his ball was not improved.
The 22-year-old, who ended one under rather than one over par, moved a piece of vegetation that he thought was dead and therefore a loose impediment. However, playing partner Lee Westwood realised it was growing.
"We asked the rules official. He said improving my lie by moving an impediment that was not loose was a two-stroke penalty.
"That is what we agreed on. They said it was a two-stroke penalty and we were going to review the footage afterwards. Unfortunately for me I was the only one that saw it, there were no cameras to back me up.
"But it was never on my lie, never on my line, never on my swing path. It was not going to bother me any way.
"I explained my version of what happened. Basically after that they made the decision there was no stroke penalty."
Rahm escaped punishment earlier in the month after a query relating to marking his ball on the sixth green on his way to victory at the Irish Open.

England's Ian Poulter was the early clubhouse leader on three under par, after a 67 gave him his lowest opening round in his 54th major.
The 41-year-old missed last year's tournament with a foot injury that also ruled him out of the Ryder Cup and he was ranked outside the world's top 200 in March.
He was also in danger of losing his PGA Tour card, however a rule change allowed him to retain it for the remainder of the season.
Poulter was runner-up at the Players Championship in May and is back inside the world's top 100, but he had to come through qualifying to reach this year's Open.
"To go out there and post a red number on the board on a good, strong golf course always feels great, " said Poulter, who was runner-up to Padraig Harrington at the 2008 Open, the last time the tournament was played at Royal Birkdale.
"It feels even better that I had to go through qualifying to get here."
"I love this golf course, the love affair has not changed since 2008. I remember walking up the last hole with the scorecard in my hand and it was a pretty special feeling. I have gone out there today and performed just as well."
England's Paul Casey is tied for second place on four under par and will celebrate his 40th birthday on Friday.
"I don't mind working on my birthday," said Casey.
"Royal Birkdale is one of my favourite links courses, maybe the best in the world. I love being back in England and what a way to spend my birthday doing what I love to do and things are just getting going.
"I am not putting that much pressure on myself, but very much wanting to win it. The odds are in my favour. Seven first-time winners [in the past seven majors]. And it would be a hell of a party."

Wales' Stuart Manley finished on two under on his major debut and he said his opening round of 68 exceeded his own expectations.
But the 38-year-old admitted he felt the nerves on the first tee.
The world 520, who had an eagle-birdie finish told BBC Radio Wales: "That's probably the most nervous I've ever been on a tee shot but at least I know what to expect for tomorrow now and I'll have a better game plan I guess."
Manley, who turned professional in 2003, is the only Welshman at Royal Birkdale this week.
He added: "I have quite a few guys up from my local golf club, Mountain Ash, and my family is here so it's nice to put in a good score for them.
"It hasn't sunk in yet. Maybe tonight when I watch a little golf it'll sink in but I'm pretty chuffed. I thought par would be a decent score on my first attempt."
Southport-born world number 14 Tommy Fleetwood finished fourth at the US Open and, allied to the fact he used to sneak onto the Royal Birkdale course as a child, had some tipping him for Open success.
But despite plenty of vocal support on the tees - and playing alongside joint leader Brooks Koepka - the 26-year-old felt luck deserted him as he struggled to a six-over-par 76.
"I got a few bad breaks. If I did hit a bad shot it really kicked me in the teeth. Then when I hit good shots I didn't make the birdie putts," he said.
Yet Fleetwood is confident he can still hit form for the fans who supported him on day one.
"It's so easy to feel like you've disappointed them a little bit when I played the way I did, but I will try my hardest tomorrow," he said.
"They did their part, I just didn't do mine - but I've come back from bad rounds before." | Rory McIlroy believes he is "back" in contention for The Open at Royal Birkdale after recovering from a disastrous start to finish one over par and six shots off the lead. | 40,677,025 | 1,787 | 43 | false |
More than 100 people were injured in the truck bomb attack in the western city of Zliten, the deadliest since the 2011 fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
IS also said it killed seven people in a separate suicide bomb attack on Thursday at the oil port of Ras Lanuf.
Libya has descended into chaos since the overthrow of Gaddafi.
In a message sent via an online messaging system frequently used by IS, the group said its Tripoli wing were responsible for the attack in Zliten.
Islamic State militants have been attacking Libya's key oil terminals in the area around Ras Lanuf for the past week.
Firefighters were still trying to bring under control blazes at seven giant fuel tanks that were set alight by IS shelling on Thursday in nearby Sidra, officials said.
The group is present in several Libyan towns, including the eastern town of Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown.
Meanwhile, Egypt's foreign ministry says it is investigating reports in local media that 21 Egyptians have gone missing in Libya and may have been abducted by IS militants.

IS' assertion that it was behind the attack does not come as a surprise, but it will confirm fears of the group's wider reach in the country.
The attack also signals the group's long-term ambitions to extend its influence in Libya, especially as it comes under increasing pressure from bombing campaigns by the US-led Western coalition in Iraq and Syria.
Observers have been quick to point out that IS is now employing a strategy similar to the one used in the past by al-Qaeda in Iraq: targeting police and army training centres to create fear and prevent the rebuilding of state security institutions.
Libya has had no proper army or police force for the past four years.
This new grim reality is only likely to be reversed if the competing militias who rule the country come together to fight against IS.
There are signs that Libya's rival groups are starting to realise that they face a common enemy, but they are still a long way from presenting a unified front.
Funerals for those killed in the attack have been held in Zliten, 60km (40 miles) west of Misrata.
The country has been split into areas run by two governments - only one of which is recognised by the international community.
In December, rival politicians signed a UN-brokered deal to form a unity government.
In a surprise, unannounced move, the newly-appointed and internationally-backed presidency council travelled to Zliten on Friday night to pay their respects to the families of the victims.
More than 100 people claim they were criminally abused and ill-treated over an eight year period in the conflict.
The Royal Military Police (RMP) is leading the independent investigation, Operation Northmoor.
Armed Forces minister Penny Mordaunt has said the military are sometimes subjected to "ludicrous legal claims".
In a blog post on the Ministry of Defence website, following a report about Operation Northmoor in the Daily Mail, Ms Mordaunt said she was concerned that legal action against the military called into question its ability to operate effectively.
"A large number of compensation claims and judicial reviews" are time-consuming and can cost the taxpayer tens of millions of pounds, she said.
"The MoD is looking closely at this issue and as the government's manifesto made clear, we will ensure our armed forces overseas are not subject to persistent and sometimes ludicrous legal claims that undermine their ability to do their job."
The five-year-long Al-Sweady inquiry, which ruled that allegations of murder and torture made against British soldiers by Iraqi detainees were "deliberate lies", cost the taxpayer £31 million.
The separate claims being investigated under Operation Northmoor are being handled by the RMP with support from the National Crime Agency and Greater Manchester Police.

Here, Anjali and her uncle - her father has migrated to Pune to look for work, and her mother is a vegetable vendor - will stand under the blazing sun for up to three hours to fill 150 litres of drinking water in 15 containers, a smorgasbord of shiny kitchen utensils and brightly coloured plastic tanks.
At home, the taps dried up three months ago. Every eighth day a municipal water tanker comes to her street, providing 200 litres of water to every family.
It's never enough for her family, so Anjali, frail and enervated, is spending her summer holidays collecting water in the soaring heat.
Aren't you afraid that she might suffer from a heatstroke? I ask her uncle.
Last week a 12-year-old girl died of heatstroke after spending four hours gathering water from a hand pump in the neighbouring Beed district. Anjali had already spent more than two hours when I met her.
The uncle shrugs off my question.
"Compulsion, compulsion," he mutters under his breath. "We don't have a choice."
The scarcity of water leaves people with few - and mostly awkward - choices. So it is with Latur's residents, who are among the 330 million people in 256 districts in India affected by drought, brought on by three years of poor rainfall.
Not surprisingly, the lives of half a million people in the district's main city now revolve around water. They worry about getting supplies, and mull their choices.
Will I wait for the tanker or head to the queue? Or should I check the hand pump down the street?
At home, the choices are no less onerous.
Should I take a second bath in the sweltering heat? Should I cook something that consumes less water? Should I invite friends for dinner? Should I postpone an operation to save money for water?
The oft-prophesised war of the 21st Century over water is already being fought in the minds of many here. The city is rife with rumour and suspicion.
Is a municipal councillor diverting more tankers to his constituency? Is my neighbour bribing the tanker driver and siphoning supplies?
In the fierce battles over water, two people - a volunteer managing a water queue, and a woman, exhausted by long hours in the queue - have reportedly died of heart attacks. People have come to blows in queues. To avert water riots, authorities imposed orders prohibiting large gatherings at water collection sites last month.
There have been protests outside storage tanks, prompting authorities to put spiky gates on the concrete spiral stairways to prevent people from scampering up. A main police station in the city is coping with up to 20 complaints from people squabbling over water.
"People are pretty worked up over water," says Sudhakar Boakar, a policeman who is in charge of the station.
The rich buy bottled water for drinking and private tanker supplies for cleaning and washing. The poor and not-so-well-off, spend most of their time waiting for municipality tanker supplies or queuing up outside storage tanks. "This has been the new normal for six to eight months now," says councillor Shailesh Swami. "Things worsened after the taps ran dry four months ago."
On a still, hot night, a long queue builds outside a storage tank in the heart of the city. The roads are deserted, but the wet pavement is humming with activity.
A steady stream of weary water hunters trickles in under flickering street lights. The containers - buckets, drums, bowls, pots, pitchers - squat in a queue of their own.
Around midnight, Rabindra Mirkale, a factory worker, riding a moped, arrives with his nephew and 12 containers.
It is a minor miracle - the number of vessels Mr Mirkale yokes to his decrepit two-wheeler; hunting water, clearly, inspires jugaad, an Indian word that means ingenious improvisation in the face of scarce resources.
It's going to be a long night ahead. Mr Mirkale reckons he will get his 200 litres of water around daybreak, some six hours later. "I work all day and collect water all night. I have no life," he grins.
Now Sheikh Mainuddin arrives, dragging a bicycle carrying a staggering 20 containers. He's walked a kilometre in the sweltering heat. There are a dozen people in his house, he says, waiting for water. "The once-a-week tanker water is not enough."
There is tension as more people join the queue. An anxious mother awaits her turn, putting her child to sleep on top of a reservoir nearby. Rubbish burns on a landfill next to the tank, making the air hotter. Then suddenly, the transformer blows out, plunging the queue into darkness, completing a picture of urban dystopia.
Authorities claim 125 tankers are ferrying drinking water to residents every day. Latur's senior-most official Pandurang Pole tells me at the peak of the water famine in February, the city was getting a quarter of its daily requirement of 25 million litres.
Two years of paltry rainfall has reduced the main Manjara river, which supplied most of Latur's water, to a gritty mass of silt and rock. Now, Mr Pole says, the city is managing to narrow the gap by securing nearly 20 million litres a day by scrounging from every available source: two dams, a barrage, 150 bore wells, reviving a defunct water supply scheme, and most importantly, the much-talked about water train. "It is a difficult situation," he says. "We now have stocks until July and are hoping for rains this year."
Outside the city, things are gloomier.
Tankers are supplying water to 150 of the 800 villages. Groundwater levels have fallen below 500ft (152m). Desperate villagers are clambering down wells looking for dregs of water.
Growing water-guzzling cash crops like sugarcane and cotton for years meant that the groundwater wasn't destined to last long in a drought-prone district of 4.5 million people. More than 30 debt-stricken farmers have taken their lives this year.
But there are also stories of hope in a cruelly arid landscape.
People, by and large, have been extraordinarily patient and resilient even as politicians score brownie points by sticking party posters on water tankers and taking credit for the water train.
Far away from the din, local people, goaded by the Art of Living Foundation, have already contributed 30m rupees ($450,113; £311,487) to dredge an 18km (11-mile)-stretch of the bone-dry Manjara, the district's lifeline. Twenty dredgers are working round the clock to finish the job.
"The drying up of the river is Latur's shame," says Mahadev Gomare of the group. "Nature has given us water. We should protect the sources."
A young farmer, who bought a bore well to irrigate his dry 10-acre farm and grow corn, has instead decided to supply water free to villagers for two hours every evening. "Crops can wait," says Vikas Manikrao Sul, 31, who's also a lawyer. "Providing water to affected families is more important. In times of scarcity, you should not think of profit."
In the long term, Latur has to conserve and harvest its water better, and change cropping patterns to avert a similar disaster. But, before that, it has to rain a lot.
"I always feel thirsty. Is that what happens to you when it doesn't rain for years?" says Shailesh Swami, looking up at the cloudless sky.
Zahid Hussain, 29, filled the appliance with shrapnel and made "improvised igniters" from the festive decorations.
CCTV shown to the jury in Birmingham showed him climbing down a storm drain yards from the West Coast Mainline.
He became radicalised reading books and websites in his bedroom.
In the days running up to his arrest Hussain had made repeated visits to a section of the main high speed train line that links London to Birmingham, which the prosecution said was to research a possible attack.
The defendant had tried to build "a number of explosive devices", including a pressure-cooker bomb and fairy-light igniters.
He also attempted to create a remote-control "initiator" for a device by modifying a wireless doorbell, Birmingham Crown Court heard.
The court was told a mistake in the building of the IED meant it would not have exploded, but that his intention had been to cause "devastation".
He was arrested on 9 August 2015 after reports of a man carrying a hammer and behaving suspiciously near his home in Alum Rock, Birmingham.
After being taken to a police station, officers found handwritten recipes for explosives, a modified fairy light and a hand-drawn map showing a drainage chamber.
At his home, they found an "improvised laboratory" and four allegedly viable igniters fashioned from Christmas lights.
They also discovered books that contained instructions on sabotage and guerrilla warfare tactics. A page on how to derail a train had been marked.
His computer showed he had an interest in so-called Islamic State and events in Syria.
"In his own words he had become 'bedroom radicalised' - turned into a radical by material he had accessed in his own bedroom," prosecution QC Annabel Darlow told the court.
Police said Hussain, who was estranged from his wife and two children, had been acting strangely and suspiciously in the months leading up to his arrest.
"He became withdrawn and isolated from his family and spent hours both day and night on his computer, where he bought most of the items he used to construct the devices," the force said in a statement.
Chief Superintendent Matt Ward, head of counter terrorism for the West Midlands, said: "Forensic examination of the pressure cooker found it contained mixed urea, diesel fuel, nails, drill bits, nuts, bolts and steel sockets.
"There was no evidence of any intended target or specific attack. But by its very nature, this could have been an extremely dangerous device."
Hussain, of Alum Rock, Birmingham, is already detained at a secure mental health unit.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
Richards, a member of Chris Coleman's Euro 2016 squad, joined from Fulham in a three-year deal in July 2016.
The 25-year-old endured a difficult start to his Bluebirds career, but has returned to action after injury problems.
"The beginning of the season was up and down and I got injured, but I'm back in the game now," Richards said.
"I've still got a lot more to show. I think I'm nowhere near my full potential."
Richards returned from a 15-week injury layoff against former club Fulham in the FA Cup in January and has featured in 10 of Cardiff's 12 games since then.
He was signed by former Bluebirds boss Paul Trollope, who was replaced by Neil Warnock in October 2016 while the defender was out with injury.
After Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Blackburn, Warnock said Richards and his fellow full-back were "fantastic".
In December Warnock admitted "disappointment" at Richards' rehabilitation, saying he had seen players return faster from broken legs but the player himself has no problem with his manager's honesty.
"It wasn't so much worrying. I know what I'm capable of and I know if I could go out and show that then I'd be given a chance," Richards added.
"It wasn't so much worry, but more frustration that I was injured when he came in.
"He's truthful. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He'll tell you how it is.
"If you're doing well he'll tell you. If you're not he'll make sure he'll tell you you're not.
"He didn't see me train until I came back from injury. I came back in and he put me straight in the team so he must have seen something.
"So obviously I've stayed in the team and hopefully I can stay in it until the end of the season."
Richards' move to Cardiff was met with scepticism by a section of Bluebirds fans unhappy with his association with Welsh rivals Swansea City.
He came through the Swansea youth system and made 51 appearances for the club, but now feels accepted at Cardiff.
"There was a bit at the beginning of the season, but I think that's all gone now," Richards added
"I think the fans are quite happy with me and I'm just concentrating on my football and trying to get better with every game.
"When I was at Swansea I didn't have anything against Cardiff so I didn't see any point in taking it to heart.
"I just brushed it to the side and got on with it. It was more off people are on me, asking me questions about it. I just didn't want to know.
"I've come in, I feel comfortable and they've accepted me so that's a positive."
The 26-year-old scored at the second attempt as the Mariners drew with Carlisle at Blundell Park.
A costly error from James McKeown gift-wrapped an opener to Charlie Wyke, before Omar Bogle levelled from the penalty spot.
Zak Mills then turned into his own net as Carlisle regained the lead, courtesy of a devilish ball from the right-hand side.
But as has proved to be a trait since the arrival of Bignot - from Solihull Moors - the Mariners never gave up.
And they had Bolarinwa to thank for earning a share of the spoils. He won an initial header, before firing home from close range.
Earlier in the evening, an acrobatic overhead kick from Bogle went inches wide of the Carlisle target.
At the other end a similar attempt from Nicky Adams had Grimsby keeper McKeown scrambling across his line.

Scottish and Southern Energy's (SSE) website said areas of Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Dorset had reported power cuts on Tuesday.
Buildings were damaged and transport disrupted after high winds battered England on Easter Monday.
Almost 4,000 homes were initially cut off and a few hundred had been reconnected by the evening.
At 11:00 BST on Tuesday there were dozens of homes in Aldershot, Petersfield, New Forest, Basingstoke and Slough still without power.
SSE said they were all later reconnected.
BBC weather forecaster Simon King said gusts of 105mph had been recorded at the Needles off the Isle of Wight in the early hours of Monday.
On Monday Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service attended more than 30 incidents involving dangerous structures, 10 of which were in Portsmouth.
Justice Wadyajena of the ruling Zanu-PF party will now be tried on the lesser charge of "disorderly conduct".
The case is seen as part of party wrangling over who should succeed 91-year-old President Robert Mugabe.
Two camps have emerged - one backing Mrs Mugabe, 50, and the other Deputy President Emmerson Mnangagwa, 69.
Mr Wadyajena is reported to be loyal to Mr Mnangagwa.
He denied the charge, and is out on bail of $800 (£500).
Mr Wadyajena was quoted in court papers as having told a Zanu-PF member in Mrs Mugabe's camp, Jimayi Muduvuri, that "you are a fool, as well as that 'mother' of yours".
The first lady is referred to as "amai", meaning mother, by supporters of Zanu-PF.
The incident is alleged to have happened at last month's Zanu-PF conference in the resort town of Victoria Falls, where Mr Mugabe warned against factionalism in the party.
The BBC's Brian Hungwe in Zimbabwe says it is not surprising that a magistrate's court in Victoria Falls threw out the "criminal insult" charge as the constitutional court scrapped that law last year.
The "disorderly conduct" charge that Mr Wadyajena now faces carries a maximum prison sentence of six months or a $200 fine, in contrast to the one-year sentence or $300 fine under the previous charge.
The first lady took over the ruling party's women's league in 2014 after spearheading the expulsion of former Vice-President Joice Mujuru and her supporters from Zanu-PF.
Mr Mnangagwa is a veteran of the independence struggle, and served as President Mugabe's spymaster in the 1980s.
The Paralympian was granted parole after serving one year of his five-year sentence for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013.
He must perform community service under the terms of his release.
In his first public appearance since then, he reported to a police station in Pretoria on Saturday wearing sunglasses and carrying a backpack.
He is serving the rest of his sentence under house arrest at his uncle's home in the city.
Pistorius, 28, was found guilty of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, over the death of his 29-year-old girlfriend.
He told his trial last year that he had shot her through a bathroom door because he had mistaken her for an intruder.
The prosecution is appealing against the verdict, saying Pistorius should have been convicted of murder.

The Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Legion d'Honneur medals were awarded to Ernest Frobisher, 96, from Eastbourne and Arthur Burrett, 90, from Seaford at the town's British Legion.
Mr Frobisher said: "It's something I never dreamt of getting."
Arthur Burrett said he was also receiving the award for his father who fought in the Battle of the Somme.
"I'm here for my father as much as myself," he said.
Mr Frobisher said: "It's something I never dreamt of getting. A lot of the places that I went to I didn't know where I was going.
"You just keep following the lorry in front.
"On the first trip to France after the war, I was walking along with some of my pals when a little lad came along and held my hand and said 'thank you'. That really choked me."
"I know they respect what we accomplished for them."
"I'm really chuffed."
Arthur Burrett said: "I mainly want to receive this because of my father who rescued two officers in the First World War, and there was no recognition, just a piece of paper."
"I was only 17 and 18 during the war," he added.
"I was on the landing craft mainly, in France and Italy and going over the African coast taking the troops over," Mr Burrett said.
"We were picking up a lot of displaced people and had them all on our ship. At the end of the war we took the ship back to America and came home on the Queen Mary. "
Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whom Mr Trump also called a "hater", was apparently assigned to the lawsuit randomly.
The case involves Juan Manuel Montes, who says he was deported from California in February, though he has lived in the US since he was a child.
But US immigration officials say the 23-year-old voluntarily left the US for Mexico.
The lawsuit has been seized upon by immigration advocates and critics of the president as proof that his administration is arbitrarily deporting US residents.
Lawyers for Mr Montes, who lived in the US since he was nine years old, say he was deported on 17 February after he was stopped in the border city of Calexico, California, by Border Patrol officials.
He said he had left his wallet and identification in a friend's car.
The plaintiff says he made clear he was protected from deportation under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), an Obama-era programme allowing immigrants brought illegally to the US as children to stay.
But Mr Montes - who has a cognitive disability from a brain injury - says he was deported to Mexico anyway.
However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says it has no record of Mr Montes being deported on 17 February.
The DHS says it does have a record, however, of arresting Mr Montes on 19 February after he climbed a border fence to try to get back into the US from Mexico. He was sent back.
Mr Montes and his lawyers concede he did climb over the border fence, but only because he had been unfairly deported in the first place.
The case hinges on whether the 17 February encounter alleged by Mr Montes ever happened.
If not, then he was not protected under Daca, because he would have left the US without permission and then tried to re-enter illegally.
The DHS has already corrected one detail of its records - the department originally said Mr Montes' Daca enrolment had expired in 2015, but it acknowledged on Wednesday that his status was valid until 2018.
However, the agency also said Mr Montes had "lost his Daca status when he left the United States without [permission from immigration authorities] on an unknown date prior to his arrest" by Border Patrol on 19 February.
Activists have seized on the case to argue that the Trump administration is going back on its word not to deport more than 750,000 immigrants awarded Daca status.
They say Mr Montes may be the first "Dreamer", as Daca enrolees are known, deported under Mr Trump's presidency.
US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel presided last year over a lawsuit involving students who claimed fraud after paying to attend real estate seminars branded as Trump University.
During the lawsuit, Mr Trump said Judge Curiel's "Mexican heritage" meant that he would not rule fairly in the case, because Mr Trump wanted to build a border wall between the US and Mexico.
Mr Trump was condemned by Democrats and Republicans alike for his attacks on the jurist, who was born in Indiana to Mexican parents.
Judge Curiel later approved a $25m (£23.3m) settlement in the case, under the terms of which Mr Trump did not admit any wrongdoing.
His assignment to the Montes case is said to be purely coincidental, based on rules for the Southern District of California, which selects judges on a rotating schedule.
Judge Curiel will be asked to decide whether US Customs and Border Protection should release information on Mr Montes' deportation to his lawyers.

She was running from her mother to her grandfather in Hanworth Park, Feltham, at 18:00 BST on 20 August, when she was struck by the pellet, police said.
She was taken to hospital where she underwent surgery to remove the pellet. Officers warned the incident could have been fatal.
The Met Police are appealing for help in finding who is responsible.
Det Helen Larson said: "This was a horrific incident and we are appealing for anyone with information to contact police.
"This shooting could have been far worse, possibly fatal and we need to find the person or persons responsible."
A group of boys were seen running out of nearby bushes following the incident, she added.
The three-year-old spent two days in hospital and is now making a good recovery, but will need further hospital appointments, police said.

I am so shocked I can't believe it. I'm going to savour the moment.
Jessica Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah capped a historic day - the best ever for GB athletics - by winning the heptathlon, long jump and 10,000m in front of 80,000 jubilant spectators at the Olympic Stadium.
The rowers had started the celebrations with gold in the men's four and the women's lightweight double sculls before the women's team pursuiters added track cycling gold in the London Velodrome.
Saturday's series of successes keep the host nation third in the medals table with 14 golds, behind the United States and China.
Britain has now won 29 medals overall, having also taken seven silvers and eight bronzes at these Games.
Ennis had dominated the heptathlon from the start, leading her rivals after the four events on day one.

She then effectively clinched gold with strong performances in the long jump and javelin on day two, before rounding off victory in the 800m.
Her time of two minutes 8.65 seconds meant she smashed her own British record for the heptathlon, finishing the seven-event competition with 6,955 points, 49 more than she scored in a the Hypo meeting Austria in May.
"I am so shocked I can't believe it," said Ennis. "I'm going to savour the moment. I've had great support, although I've been under a huge amount of pressure."
It's never going to get any better than this. It's the best moment of my life.
Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "Awe inspiring win for Jessica Ennis. Proud to be cheering her on with the home crowd. Atmosphere electric on #SuperSaturday."
Germany's Lilli Schwarzkopt took the silver, with Russian world champion Tatyana Chernova in bronze.
Rutherford took gold in the long jump with a fourth-round leap of 8.31m, equalling the feat of Lynn Davies in 1964.
Davies had been the only British man to have won an Olympic medal in the event, taking gold in Tokyo.
"What a night for British athletics," Rutherford told BBC Sport. "Three gold medals. It's absolutely incredible."
Farah followed Rutherford's success by controlling the 10,000m from start to finish.
"I just can't believe it," said Farah, who could also go for 5,000m gold. "The crowd got behind me so much and it was getting louder and louder.
"What unfolded over the course of a single day has been years in the making. It is a day unlike any that has been seen in the modern history of British Olympic sport and it is a day our country will never forget.
"Most importantly, it is a day for the athletes - the Olympic champions - and the millions of supporters who have lifted them on their shoulders and helped make this possible."
"I've not experienced anything like this. It's never going to get any better than this. It's the best moment of my life."
The wins for Ennis, Rutherford and Farah created history for Britain. Never before had they won three gold medals in a single athletics session at at Olympics.
Britain's first gold of the day came at Eton Dorney as the of Andy Triggs Hodge, Pete Reed, Andy Gregory and Tom James led from the start to triumph.
Just 20 minutes later, the team of Sophie Hosking and Katherine Copeland did the same, before the men's lightweight double sculls duo of Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter following a restart after their seat broke.
I can't believe it. It's been my dream since I was eight.
Britain have won a total of four rowing golds, with two silvers and three bronzes, to set a new record for an Olympic regatta.
Copeland said: "I can't believe this is real. We've just won the Olympics. I've been trying all week not to think about it because it has been making me cry."
Hosking added: "It's something we have been working on for so long."
On the men's four victory, Triggs Hodge said: "It was our masterpiece. Four years we have worked on that."
Laura Trott, Dani King and Jo Rowsell crushed the United States to win the team pursuit. They claimed victory in a time of 3:14.051 to set their sixth successive world record.

"It's mad," said Trott. "I can't believe it. It's been my dream since I was eight. We've gone and done it. I don't think we expected it."
Rowsell added: "I could tell we'd done it by the cheer of the crowd."
In the tennis, Andy Murray guaranteed himself another silver medal by reaching the mixed doubles final with playing partner Laura Robson.
The Scot is already through to Sunday men's singles final, where he will play Roger Federer.
They beat Germany's Christopher Kas and Sabine Lisicki in the last match on Court One at Wimbledon.
Back on the athletics track, defending champion winning his heat in 10.09 seconds.
American Ryan Bailey qualified fastest in 9.88, with world champion Yohan Blake running 10.00.
British hope Adam Gemili, who was playing non-league football as recently as January, also qualified in 10.11, behind Jamaica's Asafa Powell, who ran 10.04. Briton Dwain Chambers is through in 10.02.
Liverpool's Small Cinema has attracted a "hardcore" of fans to watch the movie a dozen times on Tuesday 2 February - the day depicted in the film.
The 1993 classic stars Bill Murray as TV weatherman Phil Connors, who has to relive the same day over and over.
One spectator said: "It's a really good film. It's well-made - it seems to be funnier the second time around."
The event at the 56-seat auditorium started at 06:00 GMT, and is running until the same time on Wednesday with only a 20-minute break between each screening.
People had to pay once to get in and can stay for 24 hours.
The cinema says it is providing tea to keep customers awake.
And according to reports in the United States, the handlers of Pennsylvania's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said he failed to see his shadow which means he has "predicted" an early spring.
Cinema-goers in Liverpool know how he feels.
A small band of the film's most ardent fans has gathered to watch it over and over in a special tribute event.
Half a dozen were at the first showing at 06:00. They remained in their seats for the second showing at 08:00 and intend to see it through to the 12th and final screening at 04:00 tomorrow.
Most of those taking part will watch the film a mere three or four times.
The evening showings are sold out.
Then they do it all over again. And again.
Speaking after four screenings of the film, projectionist Christopher Brown said: "I'm going to keep awake with the steady stream of tea.
"I'm too scared I'd fall asleep in the booth if I had anything stronger.
"We are getting lots of people walking up and staying for a few screenings, which is really lovely."
One fan who intended to go the whole hog told the BBC: "I thought why not? I've got nothing else better to do for the next 24 hours."
The Bluebirds failed to take their chances as they lost 1-0 at promotion challengers Brighton in the Championship on Tuesday.
Warnock says it would be "nice" to add up to two new players to his squad, but recruiting a striker is unlikely.
In the meantime, Warnock says he is "quite happy with what we've got".
He added: "I think the club's got to look more for quality strikers, quality signings in the summer, really."
Warnock has hinted he may not stay beyond the end of the season unless owner Vincent Tan backs his recruitment plans for a promotion challenge next season.
Cardiff have won nine league games this season, losing 12 and drawing six. They have won four of their past 10 matches.
They are 16th in the table, level on 33 points with Brentford, who are above them, and Queens Park Rangers, below.
Saturday's trip to Reading is next for Warnock and his players.
The Royals beat Fulham 1-0 at Madejski Stadium on Tuesday while Cardiff were losing to the Seagulls to rise to third.
"It's difficult, but we've got 20 games to get to that magic 50 points and the sooner we get there the better," said Warnock.
"We've got some tough games away from home, but as you've seen at Brighton, I think we can go anywhere and give teams a good game."
Ahead of the trip to Brighton, Warnock said that "all the pressure" would be on them and Reading in those games.

The 26-year-old Scot has slipped from a career-high ranking of 186th last year to 333rd this year and lost in Wimbledon qualifying last week.
Baker's career has been dogged by injury and illness, including contracting an auto-immune disease in 2008 that left him in intensive care.
"I have been strict with myself that I want to stop when I have a decision to make rather than tail away," he said.
"I have never found it hard to get up in the mornings and put in an honest day's training but over the last six to 12 months I have found that a struggle."
Baker's decision comes a day after fellow British Davis Cup player Josh Goodall said he is considering retirement aged 27.
In an interview with BBC Scotland's Sport Nation programme, Baker added: "I would not change any of it. The education and the journey that this tennis life has given me has been incredible.
"One of the reasons I've come to this decision is that I feel that I have acquired so many different skills and assets to myself as a character that I can use in other areas now."

Baker revealed earlier this year he battled with depression after suffering a life-threatening blood disorder that saw him spend three days in intensive care.
He told Sport Nation: "I was told at one point for about a 24-hour period literally not to hold my breath for too long, let alone move because if a bleed started in my head, there's nothing they could do.
"From that setback I actually came back about four years later and reached my highest ranking again.
"It's hard to measure how much that process took out of me. It was incredible what I went through and the hardest time was actually afterwards and you just never know what sort of a toll that takes."
Solihull Sixth Form College admitted the decision was "extreme", but said it had taken it in response to mobile phones being used during toilet breaks.
The college said in the past mobiles had been smuggled into the toilets by an "inventive" minority of students.
Principal Paul Ashdown sent an email to parents explaining the new policy.
In a statement, the college said it was implementing the measure during examinations to make students aware that it was simply not worth trying to cheat.
The statement said: "A very small minority of students attempt to cheat and they use increasingly inventive and sophisticated techniques, including using mobile phones smuggled into the toilets.
"The majority of students will not need to use the toilet during an exam. But, if they do, our experienced invigilator team will supervise closely but sensitively to ensure that no cheating takes place."
Students caught cheating risk being disqualified from that exam by the exam board, and possibly disqualified from all their other exams, according to the college.
The statement also said: "We are protecting the future chances of our students by implementing strict security measures."
Mobile phones are banned from exam rooms, which is standard practice, according to the college.
In a post on the Solihull Updates Facebook page, Birmingham student Abby Carter said: "Not being allowed to close the door is absolutely ludicrous, accompanying to the toilet and even a pat down and check of the cubicle would be fine, but being made to use the toilet with the door open is disgusting! This surely cannot be legal!"
The new rule is due to come in when mock exams take place later this month.
Both of the men had been convicted of militancy - one was hanged in Karachi jail, the other in prison in Lahore.
Appeals for mercy had been turned down by President Mamnoon Hussain.
More than 150 people, mostly children, were killed in the 16 December Taliban attack. The new executions come despite calls by the UN not to resume them.
Mohammad Saeed Awan, a member of the banned sectarian group Lashkar-e Jhangvi, was hanged in Karachi jail. He had been found guilty of shooting dead a police officer and his son in 2001.
The second man hanged on Thursday was named as Zahid Hussain alias Zahidu. He was convicted in 2004 of killing a policeman in the city of Multan two years earlier.
Their executions come after seven men convicted of militancy were hanged on Tuesday.
Pakistan has the world's largest number of death row inmates, with more than 8,000 people awaiting execution, human rights groups say.
Benteke, 25, joined the Eagles from Liverpool for a club record £27m.
The Premier League side have yet to win this season after losing 1-0 to both West Brom and Tottenham.
"We're not signing Messi, he's a good player but not a player who is going to get the ball and make things happen," Delaney told the Evening Standard.
"We have to get some ammunition for him, get some crosses in the box, give him supply".
Benteke could make his debut on Tuesday when Palace face Blackpool in the EFL Cup, although the striker is short of match fitness.
"(Benteke) brings a presence, he's a handful, but Connor Wickham is as well. It's time we stop talking about things and go and win games," Delaney added.
The man's bike was struck by an Asda articulated lorry on the A82 at Dunochter at about 11.00 on Sunday.
The incident happened on the west bound carriageway between the Kilbowie roundabout and the Erskine Bridge. The cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
The west bound carriageway was closed with diversions in place. Police have appealed for witnesses.
Sgt Archie McGuire of Police Scotland said: "Inquiries are at an early stage to establish the exact circumstances of this incident and it is essential that any witnesses come forward as soon as possible.
"I would like to speak to anyone who was on the A82 around 1100 hours this morning, particularly those travelling on the east bound carriageway, who may have seen what happened.
"I would also like to see any footage of the incident which may have been captured on a dash cam or by any local businesses or properties with CCTV."
The animals began to appear in the islands about five years ago after possibly being deliberately introduced.
The report commissioned by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) has warned they could significantly impact populations such as voles and hen harriers.
It is feared this, in turn, could affect tourism.
Graham Neville of SNH said: "Orkney is fortunate to have such a diverse and high quality landscape and natural heritage - rich in bird life from Arctic tern, with one of the longest of all migratory passages, to short eared owl and red throated diver.
"Arable land complements cliff colonies and the seas around Orkney are teeming with life and marine plants.
"That makes it plain we have a duty to conserve its nature. And the report tells us it is highly likely that invasive non-native stoats will change the ecology of Orkney. That will have a heavy impact on its place as a home for birds of prey and other species.
"This is a significant issue with implications for the affected species of Orkney - but no one should be in any doubt it will be difficult to remove stoats and it will take major funding to achieve removal."
A stoat that found its way to Orkney was released back on the mainland in 2010.
A 2013 article suggested Rowling had told a false "sob story" about being stigmatised by churchgoers in the '90s.
The Mail printed an apology and paid substantial damages to Rowling in May 2014, but challenged Rowling's right to give a court statement about the case.
Last week the Court of Appeal dismissed the newspaper's objections.
It paved the way for Thursday's unilateral statement, which was read out by solicitor Keith Schilling on behalf of Rowling, as part of the libel settlement.
During her successful libel case, the author said the newspaper's story was "premised on a false picture" of an article she had written 10 days earlier for single parents' charity Gingerbread.
The two-page statement reiterated that Rowling "did not at any point criticise or complain about her treatment at the hands of fellow churchgoers.
"She had in fact spoken about her time working at the local church with immense gratitude."
Mr Schilling said: "Following publication of the article, the claimant, through her solicitors, wrote to the defendant requesting only that the online article be removed and a sufficient apology published.
"The defendant refused to remove the article or apologise and denied that the article was even capable of defaming the claimant for several months."
The statement concluded the newspaper allegations left the author "understandably distressed" but she was now happy to bring her libel proceedings to a close.
Officials said the craft may have lifted off the comet after touchdown before returning to the surface.
Lander project manager Stephan Ulamec said: "Maybe we didn't just land once, we landed twice."
The European Space Agency's director general described the landing as "a big step for human civilisation".
Further analysis is needed to fully understand the status of the probe, known as Philae.
However, Dr Ulamec told the BBC that at last radio contact with the probe, he believed it to be in a stable configuration.
"This is the indication right now," he explained. "We really have to wait until tomorrow morning and then we will know a lot more."
The "first" landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was confirmed at about 16:05 GMT.
There were cheers and hugs at the European Space Agency (Esa) mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, after the signal came through.
Director general Jean-Jacques Dordain described it as "a great great day, not only for Esa, but... I think for the world".
Early data started to come back from instruments, and one team could see that the lander had sunk about 4cm (1.5 inches) into the surface, suggesting a relatively soft top layer.
But shortly after, engineers could see that the harpoons, designed to fasten the spacecraft to the 4km-wide (2.5 miles) ball of ice and dust, had not fired as planned.
Mission facts:
Philae lander
Comet 67P
Can you land on a comet?
'More black swan than yellow duck'
Brief encounters with comets
In a later media briefing, Dr Ulamec said: "What we know is we touched down, we landed at the comet at the time when you all saw us cheering and when it was announced.
"We had a very clear signal there; we received data from the landing - housekeeping and science data. That's the good news."
But then Dr Ulamec delivered the "bad news". He said telemetry from the craft suggested it might have drifted off the surface after landing and started to turn. This subsequently came to an end, which the German Space Agency official interpreted as a possible "second landing" on Comet 67P.
In fact, even later data would indicate that the Philae robot may have bounced twice, taking a full two hours to come to a rest.
This bouncing was always a possibility, but had been made more likely by the failure of the harpoons to deploy, and the failure of a thruster intended to push the robot into the surface.
Pictures from the surface have been retrieved at Earth and are being processed in preparation for release.
Scientists were initially elated following the confirmation of a landing.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, famous for performing David Bowie's Space Oddity on the space station, said of the comet: "Now we're close enough to lick it, and see what it's really made of."
Prof Monica Grady of the UK's Open University, who has worked on the project from its earliest days, was jumping for joy at Darmstadt when the news came through.
She told BBC News: "I can't believe it, it's fantastic, we've landed - we've waited so long for this."
But the news about the unanchored state of Philae has cast a shadow over the celebrations.
The mission team must decide if the harpoons can now be commanded to fire without unsteadying the robot still further.
Esa's Rosetta satellite, which had carried Philae on a 10-year, 6.4-billion-km journey to the comet, and which relayed its communications to Earth throughout the descent, has now moved out of radio "visibility".
If this connection is re-established on cue on Thursday, the team will feel much more confident.
What is clear is that Philae touched down very close to the targeted zone on the head of the rubber-duck-shaped comet.
Paolo Ferri, head of operations at Esa, said: "The camera teams used [descent] images to show that we landed very, very close to the planned centre of our big error ellipse. And I think some people already have the co-ordinates of the first landing."
If Philae remains stable and can be properly secured, it will engage in several months of science experiments on 67P.
It will take pictures of the cometscape and analyse the surface chemical composition.
Scientists are hoping 67P's surface materials will hold fresh insights into the origins of our Solar System more than 4.5 billion years ago.
One theory holds that comets were responsible for delivering water to the planets. Another idea is that they could have "seeded" the Earth with the chemistry needed to help kick-start life. Philae will test some of this thinking.
He died in the early hours of Saturday morning in a care unit in Derry. His family was at the unit with him.
The civil servant was 30 when he was attacked by a mob at a barbecue in the Waterside in Derry, and never regained consciousness.
Daryl Proctor, who was convicted of the attack and given a 12-year jail term, was released in February this year.
Mr McCauley suffered multiple injuries, including a brain haemorrhage and a fractured skull, when he and two friends were beaten by a gang of youths.
He also had two heart attacks on the way to Altnagelvin Hospital.
In 2014 PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton apologised to the McCauley family for not bringing more people to justice for the attack.
The 20-year-old man, who has not been named, is said to have fallen about 100 metres (300ft) at Wentworth Falls, west of Sydney, after slipping from rocks.
His body has now been recovered following a search by rescue crews and a police helicopter, New South Wales Police said.
Wentworth Falls, in the Blue Mountains, is a popular beauty spot.
New South Wales police said the man, who was on holiday in Australia, was in a group of eight friends and had travelled from Sydney's Bondi area to the Blue Mountains for a picnic and a walk along a bush trail.
He was walking with friends at Wentworth Falls when he slipped at midday local time on Sunday.
His friend called for help and police, ambulance and rescue teams arrived at the scene but were unable to reach his body due to high winds.
At 20:00 local time a team of rescue squad officers arrived at the scene and worked with a police helicopter to winch out the man's body.
A police spokeswoman said: "The location is extremely rugged and difficult to access, despite the rescue crew being very experienced."
His family and the British Consulate in Australia were notified of his death on Sunday night and a report will be prepared for the coroner, police said.
The Foreign Office said it was aware of the death of a British national in New South Wales on Sunday and was providing consular assistance to his family.
The Blue Mountains national park is a World Heritage site and covers a million hectares, with huge cliffs, deep rainforest gulleys, sandstone canyons and waterfalls.
One of the birds, a Muscovy duck named George, is recovering after the attack in Buckfastleigh, Devon, despite the 2ft (60cm) arrow piercing his wing and entering his body.
Witnesses saw a man leaving the scene by the River Dart with a longbow and a dead mallard duck.
Police believe George was shot on Saturday.
Pam Barrett and Alan Gosling, who together have looked after the ducks unofficially for several years, went to the river after they were told of the attack on George.
Mrs Barrett said: "The arrow had gone through his wing and into his body.
"We're monitoring George everyday as we're worried he will get an infection.
"Although it has cut his body, we don't think it has damaged any organs."
She enlisted the help of friends John Hytche and Ian Pitchford to get to George in the river.
She said Mr Pitchford found two other arrows embedded in the riverbank.
"If they had been a few feet in either direction they would have been into the traffic."
Mrs Barrett said George and the other muscovy ducks were "such characters, very friendly and attract lots of attention".
A police spokesman said the arrow had been removed and it was now a "waiting game" to see if George recovered.
He said the wanted man was white, in his early 20s, and slim with collar-length light brown hair, and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
From Gleneagles and the Scottish Open in 1993 to now, sitting in Kingsfield golf centre in Linlithgow, counting the hours to the start of his golfing year, relishing what may lie ahead in a way that he hasn't in a while.
"Five hundred events," he repeats. "What was I? Eighteen? Forty-two now. You know what? In a funny kind of way, it feels like a new beginning, a fresh start," he says.
"I've a new swing, new clubs, new clothing, new shoes, new everything. My pals love me. They've got all last year's gear. New wrist as well. It's fixed. Long road, but we're good. We're raring to go."
A year ago, almost to the week, Gallacher headed for Abu Dhabi with his game in the toilet, shot 81 in his opening round, missed the cut by a mile and headed on to Qatar, where he missed another cut.
A week later he fetched-up in Dubai, a course he longed to get back to, a tournament that he had won twice in the previous three years, a golfing nirvana that would surely soothe his problems and set him on the right track again.
No. He shot 70-75 and bowed out early. A fortnight later, in Australia, he took 77 in his opening round in Perth and packed it in. Couldn't continue. Had enough. Came home. In a hurry.
You ask him what the low point of 2016 was and you don't get one specific place or time, you get a list.
There was the death of his mother-in-law and the death of his grandmother. And then there was the injury to the wrist, where the pain shot right up his arm and threatened to do his head in.
"Dubai last year, I shouldn't have played," he recalls. "I almost chipped it round. I was hitting shots I'd never hit before in my life purely because I couldn't get through the ball. I felt like I was embarrassing myself.
"I went to Malaysia, got an injection, which got me through it. Then I went to Australia and couldn't grip the club."
The wrist had been weakened by the plane of his swing.
"When you're hitting down and into golf mats for 20 or 30 years then something gives," he says. "There are two wrist surgeons I kept hearing about. In their field, one was Ronaldo and the other one was Messi. I got put right. Had an operation, put my feet up.
"It was almost a blessing being out because Helen's mum had died and at least I was around to support her. It was a rough old year on and off the course. You don't miss playing for a while, but the hunger comes back.
"I was still out of action in the summer, I got up for the first tee-shot of The Open, watched Monty peg it off and sat the whole day, just me and my son. After that I said to the wee man, 'You know what, I'm getting back into this'."
Gallacher salvaged something from the wreckage of 2016 late in the year; tied for 12th at the British Masters, the same again in Portugal, a top-10 in Australia. It's time to start putting it together again.
Getting back to golf's top table is a powerful motivation in Gallacher's life, but it's not the only one. You get the sense that he would happily talk all day about the things he wants to do - and is doing - to preach the gospel of golf to the next generation.
His foundation is in its early years - Paul Lawrie's foundation was the inspiration behind it - but it's getting stuff done. Seven primary schools get one-on-one coaching from Gallacher's team at the brilliant nine-hole facilities at Kingsfield and Swanston in Edinburgh.
This is like Judy Murray's drive to bring tennis to every part of Scotland. Only those who cherish their sport would have the energy and the passion to do this work - and Gallacher has it in abundance.
"We provide the clubs, the balls, the kit, we put it all on for free. I just hate the thought of a kid not being given a chance of playing golf. It might be their sport, but they won't know it unless they're given a chance.
"The schools come here, an hour a week for eight weeks. And that's twice a year. Sixteen hours. They get coaching, they chip and putt, they play fun games, they have a laugh and hopefully you get them hooked.
"The thing I always hated was that you had to be 10-years-old to join a golf club. I think you've lost half the kids by then. I have kids here [in the foundation] who are five and six and they're fantastic. Why would you discriminate against somebody because they're young?
"There's a massive void in golf. The game is in decline. What I'm trying to do is get rid of the narrow-mindedness.
"These kids are the future, but only if you welcome them in. Places like Kingsfield and Swanston take away from the stuffiness. There are still courses in Edinburgh where women can't join. Bruntsfield. Muirfield. Are you kidding me on? It's ludicrous."
A few weeks back, Jason Day, the world number one, was asked about the continuing crisis of slow play. Day, for all his supreme golf, being among the slowest golfers on tour.
The Australian was unapologetic. "I don't care so much about speeding up my game," he said. "I've got to get back to what makes me good. If that means I have to back off five times, I'm going to back off five times before I have to hit the shot."
The thought of an even-slower Day is not one that fills the sport with a whole lot of enthusiasm.
"You've got Jordan Spieth working hard to quicken up his routine because he sees there's a problem there and you have another one almost saying 'I'm going to go slower'," says Gallacher.
"One of the most notorious guys who used to be slow was Ben Crane. I played with him in a tournament and he used to carry the chequebook with him and just write the fine out. It might have cost him $100,000 a year, but he's making $2m. I couldn't believe that attitude.
"It's a bit selfish to be honest. Why should the other 155 guys burst their back-sides and stay within the rules when somebody else isn't going to do it? I think he [Day] might regret that. If he's leading by a shot and he gets done a shot penalty and gets beat in the play-off for The Open..."
The prospect of that happening is remote to say the least. The rules are there and they're clear, but they're not enforced, certainly not among the elite of the elite.
Gallacher adds: "Should they hand out shot penalties? Of course they should. It's the rules. It's black and white. There's nothing worse than slow play in golf. You're almost hoping the ref comes out when you're playing with a slow guy. It can muck with your head a bit.
"Hearing comments like that is a bit saddening, really, from the world number one. He has a platform and he can help change the way people see the game. He has the power to promote all the good things about golf and, with this, he's promoting the wrong thing."
Gallacher can tell you that Day is world number one but can't tell you what his own ranking is. He knows he's "miles out of it" but says whatever the figure is, it's irrelevant. He hasn't felt able to do much about it over much of the last year, but that's changing now.
A few good results soon and he's back in business.
"One of the things you wonder about when you're out is whether you'll get the desire back to compete," he says. "There's no problem there. You don't change what I've changed at my age unless you're hungry for it. We'll see where it brings me. "
It comes after the observation pod broke down three times in five days. About 200 people were stuck for more than an hour at ground level.
British Airways, which runs the attraction, apologised and said those who had made bookings would be offered a refund or a chance to rebook.
It said the incidents happened after automatic brakes were triggered.
A spokeswoman said a load imbalance led to a breakdown on Thursday.
She said: "When the pod was near full capacity this triggered the default safety mode and the brakes were automatically applied."
Further problems occurred on Sunday when one of the sensors around the pod docking stations at ground level became loose, she said.
She said a false reading sent to the control system put the pod once more into safety mode by activating the brakes.
"We have a highly qualified engineering team on site during all operating hours and we are confident that these same issues will not happen again," she said.
And she said final checks would be run on Tuesday night and an announcement would be made on Wednesday morning about plans for reopening.
She said: "We would like to assure our customers that their safety and comfort is our number one priority and apologise again for any inconvenience caused."
In one incident, visitors were trapped in the viewing pod for two hours - with no proper toilet facilities.
And 180 passengers were left stuck in mid-air for two hours on Thursday evening.
The i360 pod was carrying a private party, including a heavily pregnant woman, who boarded the pod at about 17:00 BST.
The tower - branded the world's thinnest tall building - offers views of up to 26 miles of Sussex coastline and opened on 4 August.
The 531ft (161m) viewing tower stands on the site once occupied by the entrance to Brighton's ruined West Pier.
Visitors ascend 450ft (137m) in a 360-degree curved-glass pod. | The Islamic State group (IS) says it was behind a bomb attack which targeted a police training centre in Libya on Thursday, killing at least 65 people.

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

Wenger will reach 20 years in charge of the Gunners in October, but the last of his three league titles came in 2004 and some fans held up "time for change" banners at Emirates Stadium.
"I thought the whole stadium would be white (with posters)," he said.
"One target is to keep 100% of people happy. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do that this season."
Saturday's win took Arsenal above Manchester City - who the Gunners face at Etihad Stadium on Sunday - into third place in the Premier League table.
After fifth-placed Manchester United's 1-1 draw against leaders Leicester on Sunday, Arsenal need two more points to effectively secure an 18th consecutive year of Champions League football next season.
Against Norwich, a minority of supporters made their feelings known in the 12th and 78th minutes of the match - reflecting the 12 years since Arsenal were last champions.
Others responded with backing for the team and their French manager, who had earlier claimed his commitment to the Gunners had helped the club secure the loans required to finance the building of the Emirates.
"I am a football man. I am not a politician," added Wenger, 66.
"I am not in a democracy. I am in the next game, perform, try to do as well as you can and accept people's opinions.
"I think I can take that. I am in a public job and I have to live with judgement as long as it is respectful."
Wenger's contract with Arsenal runs until the end of the 2016-17 season, but he says he has no plans to emulate the reign of Sir Alex Ferguson before his retirement as Manchester United manager in 2013.
Wenger said: "You don't spend 19 years at a club - like Sir Alex Ferguson spent 26 years - without every minute of your time. You give your whole life for that and try to do as well as possible.
"There are disappointed people because we didn't win the league. Believe me, we are as well. We have to come back and win it and that is all we can do."
Mr Bercow told MPs that "opposition to racism and sexism" were "hugely important considerations".
Labour and the SNP praised him but critics said he should stay neutral.
President Trump was invited to make a state visit after meeting Theresa May in Washington last month.
A petition to withdraw the invitation - and another one backing the visit - will be debated by MPs later this month.
Responding to a point of order in the Commons, Mr Bercow set out his opposition to a Parliamentary address as part of the state visit.
He told MPs that addressing the Lords and the Commons was "an earned honour", not an "automatic right".
He said he was one of three "key-holders" for Westminster Hall, and referred to the US president's controversial travel ban.
"Before the imposition of the migrant ban, I would myself have been strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall," he said.
"After the imposition of the migrant ban I am even more strongly opposed to an address by President Trump in Westminster Hall."
The Speaker said he would also be involved in any invitation to address Parliament's Royal Gallery.

It was an unprecedented and extraordinary rebuke.
A diplomatic snub that in effect means President Trump will not be invited to address MPs in Parliament.
John Bercow's comments were applauded by MPs on the opposition benches - but critics have said he's abused his position and spoken out of turn.
Mr Bercow's decision risks undermining the prime minister's very public effort to create a new special relationship with the Trump administration.
He added: "I would not wish to issue an invitation to President Trump to speak in the Royal Gallery.
"We value our relationship with the United States. If a state visit takes place, that is way beyond and above the pay grade of the Speaker.
"However, as far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons."
Mr Bercow said the other "key holders" were the Speaker of the House of Lords, Lord Fowler, and the Lord Great Chamberlain, a hereditary peer in charge of certain parts of the Palace of Westminster.
A House of Lords spokeswoman said: "The Lord Speaker was not consulted by Mr Bercow on his statement.
"The Lord Speaker will make his own statement tomorrow to the Lords."
As Speaker, Mr Bercow is the highest authority of the House of Commons and despite having been elected as a Conservative MP, must remain politically impartial.
He is in charge of maintaining order in the Commons and calling MPs to speak.
The intervention was welcomed by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who has called for the state visit to be postponed, while Lib Dem leader Tim Farron said Mr Trump was "not welcome".
But former UKIP leader Nigel Farage said Mr Bercow had "abused his position" and that to have expressed his opinions in the way he did "devalues this great office".
Prime Minister Theresa May, who has criticised the president's travel ban affecting people from seven mainly Muslim countries, has defended the decision to invite him to make a state visit.
An address to Parliament has not been formally proposed, and no date has been set for the visit.
Downing Street said: "We look forward to welcoming the president to the UK later this year.
"The dates and arrangements for the state visit will be worked out in due course."
The 20-year-old has played two first-team games for the Royals since coming through their youth system - his most recent as a substitute against Huddersfield in this year's FA Cup.
Former England Under-19 international Samuel has previously had loan spells at Colchester and Dagenham.
"Dominic will bring pace to our forward line," said boss Steven Pressley.
The Sky Blues also have Bolton Wanderers forward Sanmi Odelusi, 21, training with them, with a view to a loan move.
Pressley also has a decision to make over 24-year-old striker Gary Madine, whose loan deal from Sheffield Wednesday expires on Friday.
Madine has scored four goals in 13 appearances for the Sky Blues since joining in November.
Donald Trump has called climate change "a hoax" and filled his cabinet with representatives of fossil fuel industries.
One of the world's leading climate scientists told me she was positively scared about his potential impact on the planet.
But so far the leaders who joined with President Barack Obama in Paris in 2015 to sign the global climate deal are standing firm.
As Mr Trump ponders pulling out of the UN climate deal, China, India, Germany, the EU and the UK have all reaffirmed their promise to curb CO2 emissions.
And in the USA itself, moves have already been made to consolidate the low-carbon economy in a sign that fossil fuel companies will still face a battle over CO2 emissions, even with support from the White House.
Only this week, China's President, Xi Jin Ping, warned Mr Trump that walking away from the Paris deal would endanger future generations.
As Mr Trump promises to boost jobs by scrapping President Obama's clean energy plans, China is pushing on with a $361bn (£293bn) investment in renewable energy by 2020.
China's green aspirations are undermined by its expansion of coal-fired power stations, but this week it also suspended plans for 104 new coal plants.
Xie Zhenhua, the veteran climate negotiator who forged a close partnership on clean energy between the two mega-powers, told China Daily that the global momentum behind low-carbon technology was unstoppable.
He was quoted as saying: "Industrial upgrades aiming for more sustainable growth is a global trend… it is not something that can be reversed by a single political leader.
"The international community and US citizens will pressure the Trump administration to continue clean energy policies."
The State Department may not dismiss this flippantly: while US-Chinese relations may be increasingly frosty in many areas, climate change and clean energy remain a valuable sphere of co-operation.
American politicians may also be wary of watching China seize the moral heights as world leader in tackling climate change.
India is also standing firm.
Its energy minister, Piyush Goyal, said this week: "We respect the fact that America has chosen its leader.
"However, clean energy is not something that we are working on because somebody else wants us to do it - it's a matter of faith and the faith of the leadership in India.
"Nothing on Earth is going to stop us from doing that."
Solar energy prices are now on a par with coal in India, which boasts the world's biggest solar farm and the first chemical plant to eat its own CO2 emissions.
It will continue to expand coal-fired generation for the next few years, but its National Electricity Plan projects no further increase in coal-based capacity after 2022 - much earlier than previously suggested.
Dollars, technology and jobs will pour into clean energy in these countries, and the USA will surely be keen not to miss out.
Meanwhile, moves are being made to consolidate President Obama's climate legacy.
The US previously pledged $3bn to the UN's green fund to help poor countries adapt to climate change and get clean technology.
Mr Trump won support among some voters for promising to stop payments and spend the cash on American citizens instead.
But this week President Obama slipped the fund a further $500m.
And it won't just be on the international stage that Mr Trump's team will face fossil fuel battles.
Some early skirmishes on American soil are already under way.
This week, the Environmental Protection Agency cemented stricter efficiency standards for cars.
Republicans will try to reverse this - but when carmakers previously resisted efficiency rules, they ended up producing such uncompetitive gas-guzzlers that the industry had to be bailed out.
Even Republican plans to boost extraction of fossil fuels, while popular in some states because the industries create jobs, will provoke local resistance from people who don't want oil pipelines, or don't want the tops blown off their mountains to get to coal.
It may be hard to persuade investors to put cash into coal anyway.
Many states will resist fossil fuels, too.
California has long led the way on car emissions and recently insisted it will keep its right to set its own tighter regulations for cars.
Mr Trump's team may try to rescind this.
There are already CO2 trading schemes between states on the east and west coasts, and last week New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced plans to build enough offshore wind capacity by 2030 to power 1.25 million homes.
Here's the big picture: as the world moves together to tackle climate change, it is clearly problematic if the biggest historic polluter threatens to pull in the opposite direction.
Will Angela Merkel, for instance, be so sanguine about Germany's controversial switch to renewables if the US forces its already-low energy prices even lower, triggering protests from German industry?
In the words of Jo Haigh, professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College, London: "If Trump does what he said he'd do, and others follow suit, my gut feeling is that I'm scared. Very scared."
But he may not. And they may not.

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

'Substantial support' needed for steel
Who might buy Tata in Port Talbot?
What's going wrong with Britain's steel industry?
Tata Steel UK: What are the options?
Is China to blame for steel woes?
Tata's sale of its European long products unit, announced earlier in the day, comes at a time when European steelmakers are struggling to survive amid a wave of cheap imports from China.
Greybull said it was arranging a £400m investment package as part of the deal.
The business will be rebranded as British Steel once the deal is completed in eight weeks, it said.
The new business would include the Scunthorpe works, two mills in Teesside, an engineering workshop in Workington, a design consultancy in York, a mill in Hayange, France, and sales and distribution facilities.
The token sale price reflects the difficulties involved in turning around the loss-making business, but Greybull partner Marc Meyohas said he was "delighted" with the agreement and believed the division could become a "strong business".
"At its core, it's a very, very good business," he said.
He also said Greybull had not ruled out buying other parts of Tata's UK steel business.
The Long Products Europe business makes steel for the rail and construction sectors.
The division was put up for sale in 2014. Greybull, whose interest was widely known, has been in talks with Tata Steel for the past nine months over a possible deal.
Greybull is backing a turnaround plan, which aims to return the loss-making business to profitability within one to two years, but will involve significant cost savings.
Staff are being asked to accept a 3% pay cut for one year and reductions to company pension contributions. A staff ballot on the changes will be completed on 19 April.
But Greybull said its plan "to reset the cost base of the business" had already been agreed with both trade unions and key suppliers.
Greybull also said it did not expect further restructuring beyond the 1,200 job losses announced last October.
That involved the closure of one of the two coke ovens at Scunthorpe and the mothballing of three plate mills, reducing annual production capacity to 2.8 million tonnes.
Unions welcomed the deal.
GMB national officer Dave Hulse said negotiations had taken "a long period of time", but said the deal would "safeguard members' jobs".
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the Community union, said the announcement "demonstrates that with the right investors, UK steelmaking can have a positive future".
Mr Javid said the agreement was "a step in the right direction for the long-term future of British steel manufacturing in Scunthorpe".
The Indian steel giant said at the end of last month that it was exploring "strategic alternatives" for its UK business.
Thousands of workers in England and Wales risk losing their jobs if a buyer cannot be found.
Tata Steel directly employs 15,000 workers in the UK and supports thousands of others, across plants in Port Talbot, Rotherham, Corby and Shotton.
So far, the only company to have publicly expressed an interest in buying Tata's UK steel business is Liberty House, owned by Sanjeev Gupta.
Mr Javid, who was on a business trip to Australia when Tata first announced it was planning to sell its UK steelworks, is under pressure over his handling of the crisis.
Raisuqe was sent off on the stroke of half-time for gouging Munster's CJ Stander as they wrestled for the ball.
Paul Williams, Sekou Macalou and Hugo Bonneval crossed for Stade who are four points behind pool leaders Leicester.
A late Conor Murray try prevented Munster suffering their first shut-out in 21 years of European rugby.
The Irish side are now out of the Champions Cup - barring a miracle series of results - after suffering three pool defeats in a row for the first time.
Munster were dealt a series of early blows with the loss of tight-head prop BJ Botha and full-back Andrew Conway through injury.
The opening try on 32 minutes stemmed from a burst by Waisea Nayacalevu, which led to Williams picking his angle between forwards Dave Kilcoyne and Dave Foley to score under the posts.
Morne Steyn converted and added a penalty for a 10-0 lead.
Munster then lost Tommy O'Donnell despite the flanker initially returning from a head injury assessment.
Stade were reduced to 14 men when Raisuqe was shown by replays on the stadium's giant screens to have put his hand in Stander's eye as they wrestled for the ball after World Cup final referee Nigel Owens had blown the whistle.
The chorus of boos was deafening as Ian Keatley kicked - and missed - the resulting penalty and the noise only intensified as the Welsh referee walked off at half-time
Steyn added a second penalty before Munster saw Rory Scannell's try ruled out for a forward pass.
Stade Francais flanker Macalou then tore clear for a try before full-back Bonneval beat Simon Zebo to score a third, although the Munster full-back combined with Scannell to create Murray's consolation effort with five minutes remaining.
Stade Francais: Bonneval, Arias, Nayacalevu, Williams, Raisuqe, Steyn, Dupuy, Taulafo, Sempere, Alo-Emile, Pyle, Gabrillagues, Macalou, Nicolas, Parisse.
Replacements: Plisson for Bonneval (72), Danty for Arias (50), Tomas for Dupuy (70), van der Merwe for Taulafo (52), Panis for Sempere (47), Slimani for Alo-Emile (46), Mostert for Gabrillagues (72).
Not used: Montague-Ross.
Sent-off: Raisuqe (40).
Munster: Conway, Earls, Saili, R. Scannell, Zebo, Keatley, Murray, Kilcoyne, Sherry, Botha, Foley, Chisholm, Copeland, O'Donnell, Stander.
Replacements: N. Scannell for Sherry (68), Sagario for Botha (57), B. Holland for Chisholm (78).
Not used: J. Ryan, O'Donoghue, O'Leary, Hurley, R. O'Mahony.
But the recommendation by Wada that Russian athletes be banned from competing in events organized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) has raised fears in the media of exclusion from the next Olympics.
There has been much indignant denial by Russian officials of the Wada findings, but the most media outlets appear to accept them.
State-owned Rossiya 24 TV, in an extensive report, quotes the All Russia Athletics Federation saying it was "already taking tough measures to wean Russian athletes off the habit of using prohibited substances".
The English-language news channel Russia Today notes the "damning report", while carrying an interview with Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko who dismisses the report's conclusions as "baseless".
But the government-owned daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta lashes out at IAAF President Sebastian Coe. "The hastiness with which the new president is acting is a bit surprising. If the suspects haven't been proven guilty, why rush to demand that those who are possibly guilty be punished by the IAAF Council?"
Business daily Vedomosti worries that Wada's "unprecedented accusations" aimed at Russian sport officials may "lead to isolation of Russian sports".
"What's happening now is a major row in the history of Russian sports," it says in a front-page editorial. Online news website Gazeta.ru agrees, calling it "a heavy blow for Russian sport".
But popular daily Moskovskiy Komsomolets comes out fighting. "Everyone's using doping but only Russia seems to get done for it", it complains. But the paper also adds that "it's hard to break with an old habit".
"We had hoped those days of doping were in the past, we thought a corner had been turned," the paper laments. "There is pain, there is shame, there is anger here today, but Russia needs to change, we have no choice", it concludes.
An article in Vedomosti raises the spectre of Russian exclusion from the 2016 Rio Olympics, saying the threat is "very real indeed". This concern is echoed in the Sport Express in an article headlined "Wada versus Russia: Black Monday".
"The main question of the day is this: is it realistic for Russian light athletes to go without the Olympics?... We have two options left: dismantle practically the entire system of sport management right down to the base and try to frantically build something new, or proudly deny everything and watch Rio on television."
Another sports paper, Sovetsky Sport, blames the government for the situation. "Who spent money on professional light athletes and their brazenly maligned federation? The state," it asks and answers.
"Who now has to protect its investment? The state... it was taking care of the country's image. Now that image is going straight to hell. Not even now, but long ago. Why is the state keeping silent?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

Its latest monthly UK House Price Index showed the average price of a property in October was £143,131.
That was 4% higher than a year ago and 1% up on the previous month.
The UK average price in October was £216,674 - 6.9% higher than the same month last year and 0.1% up on September.
The top five local authorities in terms of sales volumes were Glasgow City (1,031 sales), City of Edinburgh (1,020), Fife (564), South Lanarkshire (520) and North Lanarkshire (415).
The biggest price increase over the last year was in East Renfrewshire, where the average price rose by 17.7% to just over £222,500.
The biggest decrease was again in the City of Aberdeen, where prices fell by 8.7% to £172,870.
Across Scotland, all property types showed a rise in average price when compared with the previous year, with detached properties showing the biggest increase of 7.1%, to £251,709.
Registers of Scotland director of commercial services Kenny Crawford said: "The average price of a residential property in Scotland continues to show steady growth, with month-on-month increases in every month this year apart from February and August.
"This is a significant change from last year when there were decreases month-on-month in six out of the 12 months.
"Average prices have been steadily increasing on a year-on-year basis, too, with only one drop in average price being recorded in the past three years."
The government has banned all entertainment TV shows, including the popular reality talent show The Voice of China, and variety show Happy Camp, to get people in the mood for its Victory Day parade on 3 September, which will celebrate 70 years since the end of World War Two.
Some have described it as a patriotic move, but not everyone is impressed.
On China's Twitter-like weibo site, user Yaxixi described it as "ignorant brainwashing", while Alex Huaier said: "The victorious country is banning entertainment, whereas the losers continuing singing and dancing - isn't it paradoxical?"
Here are four other eye-catching - although perhaps not unexpected - ways China has been trying to ensure that Thursday's parade will be perfect.
China has deployed macaques and falcons to ensure the skies over central Beijing are free of birds during the parade - birds could crash into the engines of fighter jets, potentially damaging the planes.
Macaque monkeys have been trained to climb up trees and dismantle birds nests in advance of the parade, Chinese media reported.
The monkeys can dismantle "between six and eight nests" a day, and also leave their scent on the trees, which deters the birds from rebuilding their nests, one of the monkey trainers said.
Falcons are also being deployed to circle the skies, scaring other birds away.
It might sound extreme to some, but it's not unusual - hawks are also used to keep pigeons and small birds away from key sites in the UK - including Wimbledon's tennis grounds.
Meanwhile, officials have banned pigeons from flying over Beijing during the parade, warning breeders not to release them during the day.
Beijing has become infamous for its air pollution in recent years - face masks are a must during periods of severe smog.
But China's government likes to show that, when it puts its mind to it, it can even improve the weather.
There were blue skies in Beijing during the Apec summit in 2014, after officials told factories to suspend production, slowed work at construction sites and restricted the number of cars on the roads.
Beijing has pledged to ensure blue skies again for the Victory Day parade - although some locals have argued online that the government should do more to improve air quality for normal citizens.
The top brass will help lead the parade - and they've had to make sacrifices to look the part.
More than 50 generals, who have an average age of 53, will take part in the parade - and the tough training has led to them losing an average of 5kg each, state media report.
They have also been training for the "perfect standing posture" by placing playing cards between their knees and "between their hands and legs to keep their arms locked to their body", state-run China Daily reports.
China maintains tight control over its internet and social media, so it should come as no surprise that it's keeping an eye on what people are saying ahead of the parade.
According to China Digital Times, which reports on censorship in China, the government has issued guidance to the media stating that news and comments related to the parade must be "positive", while all sites should "actively promote positive, sunny netizen commentary".
Several roads in central Beijing will be closed, while many hospitals have been told to suspend outpatient services on the day of the parade, although the emergency departments will remain open, Beijing media reported.
Meanwhile, residents living along Chang'an Avenue, a major road where the parade will take place, have been warned not to open their windows in the run-up to the parade. One resident posted what appeared to be a notice requesting they "avoid peering at the parade from their windows" on Thursday.
The Beijing government is also securing the skies ahead of the parade - hot air balloons and hang gliders are among the things to be banned in recent weeks.
Reporting by Helier Cheung
Here people in South Africa share their views on Thursday's incident.
Loss of life is always regrettable. I sympathise with the miners regarding the wage issue.
But I must say that there is no need to go on strike with sticks and machetes.
They must understand that the police is not their enemy. The police were there to restore order and keep the peace while the two unions which were negotiating with the mining company.
There is a mixed reaction from people here to the incident. Many say the police have the right to defend themselves. It seems that these days people don't respect the police.
An investigation should be opened to find what really happened and to why the two cops were killed in an earlier incident.
I was a section leader in a detachment with the South African Defence Force in the 1980s when we were charged by a group of people armed very much the same as the workers at the mine.
At the time we were mounted in vehicles and were able to withdraw with no casualties. The effect however of this charge still stays with me.
From what was seen yesterday, I feel the police were not controlling the situation. This is due to a lack of training of the lower-level police and therefore of the upper echelon as well.
They should never have got into a situation that they are unable to extricate themselves from. To put police into a situation where there is little chance of withdrawal will only lead to this result.
The events in Marikana are a bit of a shock. The president should be heading to the area to do something.
This incident reminds me of the apartheid-era South Africa. There is no sense in shooting people who don't have guns. Are we going back to the days of the Sharpeville massacre?
A rubber bullet is enough to stop someone who attacks you with a machete.
As for the miners - they have a legal right to strike. It's not like they were causing trouble outside a police station.
It's a very sad situation.
The police need training so they don't act in the same way in a similar situation in the future.
I'm really upset by the incident. The footage looks like something from Libya or another civil war zone. It's unbelievable.
The Lonmin disaster is a sad continuation of the story of frustrated and unhappy South Africans.
I moved here from Switzerland 11 years ago and there are many opportunities in South Africa. But many younger people don't have access to opportunities because of substandard public schooling.
So many things are blatantly wrong in this country. After more than 18 years in power, the ANC can't continue to blame apartheid as the root cause. They have created an exclusive society and if you are not properly connected, you are actually worse off.
Many of us wonder when these sparks will trigger an Arab Spring-style revolt in the country.
This atrocious and outrageous violence is symptomatic of the relationship that has been developing between protesters and the police over the last two years.
There have been violent outbreaks and confrontations with the police continually.
It is no longer possible for the media to portray these as "isolated events".
South African people are angry and tired of the inequality that is so rife in our country.
It is heart-breaking to see our country being so brutally torn apart in a manner strikingly reminiscent of the apartheid days.
Aslef is in dispute with Southern over driver-only-operated trains and the role of train staff.
Mick Whelan, the union's general secretary, said: "The ban reflects the total loss of trust and goodwill between train drivers and the company."
Southern is operating a revised timetable affecting services in Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire.
Southern rail: Live updates
Southern says full details of changes to services will be on its website throughout the latest overtime ban.
There are no off-peak Gatwick Express services between Brighton and the airport - a limited peak service will operate, Southern said.
There are also no direct services between London and both Southampton and Portsmouth - passengers will need to change trains on route.
No trains will run between East Croydon and Milton Keynes via Kensington Olympia.
The company said it expects to run "significantly more services" from Monday.
Southern Passenger Services Director Angie Doll said: "This action is going to be very inconvenient to our passengers and communities but by putting in this revised timetable we will be able to run a more reliable and consistent service."
The drivers' union has been in the dispute with Southern and its parent company Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) over the roles of train staff.
GTR replaced conductors with "on-board supervisors" to work across different services but without the responsibility of closing doors - which has switched to train drivers.
The overtime ban had been due to start on 4 June but was postponed while fresh talks were held. The union and train company have been discussing drivers terms and conditions, industrial relations and pay in parallel negotiations.
The Association of British Commuters (ABC) is attending a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice later in its bid for a judicial review of the government's handling of the Southern rail "fiasco".
Summer Dean, of ABC, said: "Passengers are the only people who still don't have a voice in this fiasco, and many thousands of them support us in our efforts to reveal the truth behind the Department for Transport's involvement in Southern Rail."
ABC said ministers acted unlawfully by failing to determine whether managers had breached franchise obligations.
Chris Poole, 46, was attacked last August outside the Premier store in the Hydneye area of Eastbourne, East Sussex, and died the following day.
Joe Chapman, formerly of Iden Street, Eastbourne, was jailed at Lewes Crown Court for a minimum of eight years.
Shane Noble, 20, of no fixed address, was jailed for a minimum of 11 years.
Both had been found guilty of murder last month following a three-week trial.
Sussex Police said Mr Poole was punched and kicked in the head shortly before 21:00 BST on 16 August after becoming involved in a row with a group of teenage boys.
Outside the court, Ricky Poole said: "Chris was my only brother, my only sibling.
"All the family are here today so you can see what he meant to us. We miss him every day."
Commenting on the sentencing, he said: "I expected more but I can see why the judge gave what he did to reduce the chance of an appeal being upheld.
"In time to come they [Noble and Chapman] will be free again and maybe they would have learnt their lesson.
"We, the family, will never be free of our pain and suffering.
"Christopher's life was taken from us by two ruthless people and all those who knew him are united in the grief we feel at the loss of a wonderful son, brother and friend who leaves behind a heartbroken partner, Penny, and her four children."
Det Supt Nick May, who headed the investigation, said: "This was a horrific attack - what I would describe as a senseless act of violence."
The four-storey Wood Flour Mills in Bosley, near Macclesfield in Cheshire, collapsed after the blast on Friday.
Some areas are still alight while dogs have been used to help search for the three missing men and one woman.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said they were also working to protect what could potentially be a crime scene.
The missing people were believed to have been in the building and near the seat of the explosion that ripped through the wood treatment works shortly after 09:00 BST.
Chief fire officer Paul Hancock said: "There's still hope but the longer the incident continues without knowing or locating these four individuals, it is looking more like a recovery than a rescue operation.
"Until we account for them there's always hope."
Mr Hancock told reporters: "We have identified two locations we are now focusing on. These locations have been confirmed by sniffer dogs.
The rescue teams have experience working in the aftermath of earthquakes in Nepal, Japan and the Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand.
On Friday, 35 people were assessed at the scene with four people treated for breathing difficulties and another four people taken to hospitals in Birmingham, Merseyside and Stoke.
One 29-year-old woman sustained serious burns and blast injuries to her head, face, arms and chest.
Firefighters are continuing to use water to cool silos on the site and assess temperatures using thermal image cameras, a spokesman for the fire service said.
They will be working alongside Cheshire Police and the Health and Safety Executive to establish the cause of the blast, he added.
Up close, the devastation is clear - wreckage strewn across a wide area, the mill building a collapsed shell. Search teams who are used to working in earthquakes are combing through the rubble piece by piece using specialist cameras to capture images below the surface.
Search dogs are also scrabbling over the ruins concentrating on an area where the four missing people are thought to be. Meanwhile, huge water jets can be seen trained on parts of the complex which are still alight with gallons of water being pumped out of the stream which runs alongside.
Firefighters say the temperature of one of the mill silos is still 140C. They say they expect to be working at the Cheshire site for several days.
The Conservative MP for Macclesfield, David Rutley, said there was a "really deep sense of shock" locally.
"It's something that's affected most people who live in the village, because they all know somebody that works there...or worked there themselves."
Fire crews described seeing a "scene of devastation" when they arrived.
The building contained heating oil, kerosene, acetylene and asbestos. There is also a silo containing highly flammable wood flour used for making wood laminate flooring.
The fire service added: "Cheshire's search dog Bryn and his handler have started initial work on part of the site with other search dogs en route to the site.
"Specialist equipment is being organised to move two vehicles near the factory which were badly damaged in the fire to improve access to the factory."
Just a month after his appointment as England manager, Allardyce suggested Great Britain should enter football teams at future Olympics.
After a 52-year absence from Olympic football, Great Britain's men had made a controversial return at the 2012 Games in London.
Team GB entered a women's team as well but, with neither at the Rio Olympics this year, Allardyce championed a return for both teams at future Games.
"To turn it down is a great shame. It's something we may look at in the future and try to compete in," he said.
It was not a view shared by his Wales counterpart, Chris Coleman.
"For us, no. I don't agree with that," said Coleman, who led Wales to a first major tournament semi-final at Euro 2016.
"Anything that could put what we've got here, what we've built here, in jeopardy, we would not be for that.
"We've always had a stance that we don't agree with it, and that hasn't changed."
England's Football Association had put forward the idea of sending Great Britain teams to the Olympics, but Fifa said it would need the agreement of the ruling bodies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, who were against it.
Those three home nations fear such a move could affect their independent status within the sport's world governing body and at international tournaments such as the World Cup.
"I cannot accept we should be a Great Britain team. I think that is wrong. Our independence would possibly go away," former Football Association of Wales (FAW) president Trefor Lloyd Hughes told BBC Wales Sport.
"People say it would not, but be careful. I'm giving the warning that it's a possibility.
"This is my opinion, not the FAW's. I personally will not support Wales joining Team GB at all."
There was a sinking familiarity to the way Team GB's most recent Olympic campaigns ended - both men and women exiting at the quarter-final stage - but it was the fraught nature of Great Britain's return which most will remember about football at London 2012.
Great Britain had been Olympic football regulars until 1960 and, having failed to qualify for the next three Games, they decided not to enter a team.
That was until London was awarded the 2012 Olympics, and the clamour grew - from some parts more than others - for Great Britain to field a team.
The Football Associations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland opposed the idea, fearful a British side could affect their status as independent footballing nations.
In 2009, they suggested England could play on behalf of Great Britain. However, Britain's Fifa vice-president Jim Boyce said non-English players would have the legal right to be considered for Team GB.
There was a compromise of sorts. Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish associations were still opposed to the idea in principle, but they would not stand in the way of any players selected for Great Britain - under the condition the London Olympics would be a one-off.
Ultimately, the 18-man squad coached by Stuart Pearce included 13 English players, none from Scotland or Northern Ireland, and five from Wales - Neil Taylor, Joe Allen, Aaron Ramsey, Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs.
There were no Great Britain football teams - male or female - at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
A place was earned for a women's side thanks to England finishing third in the 2015 World Cup, but again the four national associations could not agree on sending a team to Brazil.
"It's a shame women's football wasn't in the Olympics," Wales manager Jayne Ludlow told BBC Wales Sport.
"The way the game is growing, any event with regards to women's football is one that everybody involved in the women's game should make the most of."
Although keen to see Great Britain field a women's team in the Olympics, Ludlow's endorsement was qualified.
England coach Hope Powell took charge of Team GB for the 2012 Games and named a squad which included 16 English players and two from Scotland but none from Northern Ireland or Wales, whose influential midfielder Jess Fishlock was a surprising omission.
"The thought process with that going forward is the doors are open to discussions but it has to be an environment where it does become a GB team and it doesn't run the way it ran last time," Ludlow added.
"But it ran that way because of people who were in charge at that time. As a Welsh FA we have to do the best thing for Welsh players."
For the men's competition, qualification is via the European Under-21 Championship. England were the only home nation to compete in that tournament, but failed to secure the required semi-final place.
The Scottish Football Association told BBC Wales Sport it remains "opposed to the concept of a Team GB football team", while the Irish Football Association said it "would not be in favour of sending players to a GB Olympic team" and the FAW is still against the idea as well.
While the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish associations oppose the idea, it is understood some would not stand in the way of their players if they were selected for Great Britain.
Selection for the women's team in 2012 proved a sensitive subject, with Scotland's record goalscorer Julie Fleeting ruling herself out of contention for fear of jeopardising the Scottish national team.
For Fishlock, the political impasse is a source of frustration.
"I get why there is no team GB but for women's football in the UK it needs a team GB there's no doubt about that," she told BBC Wales Sport.
"You see the exposure it gets, you see how supportive people are of the Olympics. Do I wish that there was a team GB? Absolutely, I think it's great. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, it's phenomenal.
"Do I think there will ever be one? No I don't think there will be one ever again. We can keep pushing it and keep pushing it but the only way it's going to change is if governing bodies come out and say it doesn't matter if you have a Team GB, nothing will change with regards to the Euros or the World Cup - but that's not a guarantee.
"The reality of it is if I went to a major tournament I would want to go to play for Wales."
Swansea City's English midfielder Jack Cork, who was in Great Britain's men's squad for London 2012, is also disappointed by Team GB's absence.
"It's sad. We're missing out on a good thing there. It's another big tournament experience Great Britain could get behind and it's a shame we're not involved in that," he said.
"It was amazing. I loved it and I wish they would do it again at future Olympics because it's an unbelievable experience. Especially being in London, it was amazing so I would like to see it back."
The One Love concert in Manchester on Sunday night also started with a moment's silence.
This was to remember those who had lost their lives or been affected by the attack in Manchester two weeks earlier.
But why do we hold a silence to pay tribute in this way?
In the UK, the first recorded national silence was held on Armistice Day in 1919.
Armistice Day was the day that World War One ended, on 11 November 1918.
In November 1919, King George V issued a proclamation that called for a two-minute silence.
"All locomotions should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead," he said.
All locomotion should cease means that all movement should stop, so everybody should stand or sit still, whatever they are doing. So it was about more than just not talking.
Since 1919, on the second Sunday of November (otherwise known as Remembrance Sunday), a two-minute silence is held at 11am at war memorials, cenotaphs, religious services and shopping centres throughout the country to remember all those killed in conflicts.
While holding a period of silence remains the traditional way to pay tribute and show respect, in some cases where it is appropriate, a round of applause is used to celebrate somebody's life - for example, to remember sports stars who have passed away.
Sports writer Richard Williams explains that Italian people have been doing this for a while.
"I think it's a good idea when the person is someone whose achievements were accompanied by the cheers of vast crowds," he says.
The new US embassy staffing level would be the same as at Russia's embassy in Washington.
The Russian foreign ministry also said it was seizing holiday properties and a warehouse used by US diplomats.
The new US sanctions are over Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and alleged interference in the US election.
They come months after the Obama administration ordered the seizure of two Russian diplomatic compounds and expelled 35 Russian diplomats in response to alleged hacking of the US Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's campaign.
In a statement on Friday, Russia's foreign ministry said: "The US is stubbornly taking one crudely anti-Russian step after another, using the utterly fictitious pretext of Russian interference in its internal affairs."
The US expulsion of Russian diplomats "clearly violates the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations and generally accepted diplomatic norms", it added.
It was not immediately clear how many diplomats and staff members would have to stop working at the embassy, but Russian news agencies quoted sources as saying "hundreds" of people would be affected.
Reuters news agency quoted an unnamed US embassy official as saying the embassy employed about 1,100 diplomatic and support staff in Russia, including US and Russian citizens.
Russia also said it would respond in kind if Washington decided to expel any more Russian diplomats.
Russia's move comes a day after President Vladimir Putin decried what he called "anti-Russian hysteria" in Washington.
The new US sanctions on Russia were overwhelmingly approved by both houses of Congress despite objections from the Trump White House.
US intelligence agencies believe Russia tried to sway the election in favour of Trump and now there are several investigations looking into whether anyone from his campaign helped.
Russia has always denied interfering and Mr Trump insists there was no collusion. | SeaWorld in California is planning to phase out some of its more controversial killer whale shows.

Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne will propose a government buy-out, after Douglas council announced the service was no longer "financially viable".
In its final year, the council said the service ran at a loss of £263,000.
The Douglas Bay Horse Tramway was terminated in January after ferrying tourists along the town's promenade for more than 140 years.
Mr Gawne said: "I am passionate about preserving our culture and heritage and believe the horse trams should remain an integral part of Douglas Promenade."
The report, which will go to the Manx parliament on 19 July, proposes that the government buys the tram depot, trams and horses for a "nominal amount".
The next step, which would cost about £5.5m, would be to create a tram line between Derby Castle and the War Memorial.
The report also suggests that a charity could be established to help fund the service into the future.
"An independent report in 2012 revealed that heritage railways contributed £11 million to the local economy," continued Mr Gawne.
"The department is confident it can further capitalise on the success of the transport-related travel market".
The Douglas Bay Horse Tramway, which was built and originally operated by Thomas Lightfoot from Sheffield, runs along Douglas promenade for 1.6 miles (2.6 km) from the Strathallan terminal to the Sea Terminal.
Li-fi can deliver internet access 100 times faster than traditional wi-fi, offering speeds of up to 1Gbps (gigabit per second).
It requires a light source, such as a standard LED bulb, an internet connection and a photo detector.
It was tested this week by Estonian start-up Velmenni, in Tallinn.
Velmenni used a li-fi-enabled light bulb to transmit data at speeds of 1Gbps. Laboratory tests have shown theoretical speeds of up to 224Gbps.
It was tested in an office, to allow workers to access the internet and in an industrial space, where it provided a smart lighting solution.
Speaking to the International Business Times, chief executive Deepak Solanki said that the technology could reach consumers "within three to four years".
The term li-fi was first coined by Prof Harald Haas from Edinburgh University, who demonstrated the technology at a Ted (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference in 2011.
His talk, which has now been watched nearly two million times, showed an LED lamp streaming video.
Prof Haas described a future when billions of light bulbs could become wireless hotspots.
One of the big advantages of li-fi is the fact that, unlike wi-fi, it does not interfere with other radio signals, so could be utilised on aircraft and in other places where interference is an issue.
While the spectrum for radio waves is in short supply, the visible light spectrum is 10,000 times larger, meaning it is unlikely to run out any time soon.
But the technology also has its drawbacks - most notably the fact that it cannot be deployed outdoors in direct sunlight, because that would interfere with its signal.
Neither can the technology travel through walls so initial use is likely to be limited to places where it can be used to supplement wi-fi networks, such as in congested urban areas or places where wi-fi is not safe, such as hospitals.
23andMe's health reports covered 254 inherited diseases before being banned by the FDA in 2013, and it is still not allowed to quantify the risk of a user developing one of the 36 conditions.
But it will be able to say whether they are a carrier of any of the conditions and the risk of passing it to children.
It also said it had refused US police requests for customers' genetic data.
Over the past 10 years, it had received four requests on five individuals, three from state agencies and one from the FBI, it said.
The service - which already has more than a million users - will now offer customers, who submit a saliva test and pay $199 (£125), health reports on 36 inherited conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anaemia.
Since the 2013 ban on health tests, 23andMe had offered US users a more limited service, providing ancestry reports and raw uninterpreted data.
They will receive a breakdown of their genetic predispositions, including non-medical inherited traits such as bitter-taste perception, lactose intolerance and even cosmetic characteristics such as cheek dimples or curly hair.
But the service does not test for common conditions such as heart attack, asthma, breast and ovarian cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
In a statement, chief executive Anne Wojcicki said: "We've worked with the FDA for nearly two years to establish a regulatory path for direct-to-consumer genetic testing.
"We are now a better company with a better product."
Experts have questioned what effect the results of the tests will have on users.
Dr Brian Zikmund-Fisher, of the University of Michigan, said: "There is a risk that someone will decide to get tested because they are interested in one disease but end up getting potentially disturbing information about another one, one that they perhaps were less prepared to consider."
23andMe also operates in the UK, offering reports on more than 100 inherited health conditions and traits.
Leading 5-0 from the first leg, Brendan Rodgers' side fell behind on the night when Dimitri Shomko's shot was diverted into the net by Kristoffer Ajer.
And though Scott Sinclair produced a stylish equaliser, Serikzhan Muzhikov and Patrick Twumasi (2) put the hosts 4-1 up with 20 minutes still to play.
But Olivier Ntcham and Leigh Griffiths made the tie safe for the visitors.
It is Celtic's first defeat in all competitions since losing to Barcelona in Glasgow on 23 November, but they can now look forward to their 10th appearance in the group stage.
The Scottish champions will be in the fourth pot of seeds for Thursday's draw in Monaco unless Liverpool fail to progress against Hoffenheim on Wednesday.
Rodgers has now led Celtic to the group stage in each of his two seasons as manager, his side having taken on Barcelona, Manchester City and Borussia Monchengladbach last year.
With Astana faced with such a sizeable first-leg deficit, Celtic may have expected an early onslaught from their hosts in Kazakhstan, but the visitors looked the more incisive early on.
After earlier chances for Sinclair and team-mate Callum McGregor, there seemed to be no imminent danger to Celtic's lead until Shomko's speculative shot was deflected by Ajer's outstretched foot to wrong-foot keeper Craig Gordon.
Astana had restored some belief but their enthusiasm was blunted when Sinclair collected on Celtic's left, drove at the defence and curled a sumptuous shot past Nenad Eric. It was the Englishman's third goal of the tie.
The home side needed six more goals at that stage and Marin Anicic's header was superbly clawed over by Gordon as half-time approached.
Astana capitalised on a poor Scott Brown pass to get ahead early in the second period, Srdan Grahovac's chipped ball deflecting into Muzhikov's path for a straightforward finish.
No sooner had Celtic taken the kick-off, they found themselves doing so again. Twumasi was left unmarked to nod in Shomko's cross.
Junior Kabananga should have converted from the edge of the six-yard box at the end of another flowing Astana move.
Rodgers introduced defender Anthony Ralston in place of McGregor and placed the substitute in a back three with Nir Bitton and Ajer in an attempt to weather the storm.
Griffiths had an excellent chance but got under his shot after chesting the ball down in the box.
Astana scored almost immediately, Twumasi gliding away from the Celtic defence on the right of the box and beating Gordon at his near post.
After Griffiths' free-kick was saved, Twumasi could have completed his hat-trick when the ball fell to him inside the area, but he got too much elevation on the shot.
Ntcham had been an assured operator in the Celtic midfield and he found the net with the aid of a deflection to ease Celtic's nerves.
Griffiths put earlier frustrations behind him with a fierce right-foot shot as Astana were again caught on the break.
Stanimir Stoilov's side restored some pride and can console themselves with the knowledge they will be in the Europa League group stage, the draw for which takes place on Friday.

The robotic vehicle Nereus went missing while exploring one of the ocean's deepest spots: the Kermadec Trench, which lies north east of New Zealand.
Surface debris was found, suggesting the vessel suffered a catastrophic implosion as a result of the immense pressures where it was operating some 10km (6.2 miles) down.
Nereus was a flagship ocean explorer for the US science community.
"Nereus helped us explore places we've never seen before and ask questions we never thought to ask," said Timothy Shank, from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), which managed the sub's activities.
"It was a one-of-a-kind vehicle that even during its brief life brought us amazing insights into the unexplored deep ocean, addressing some of the most fundamental scientific problems of our time about life on Earth."
Ocean trench: Scroll 11,000m down
The $8m (£4.7m) robot was built in 2008 and could operate in an autonomous mode or remotely controlled via a tether to a support ship to explore the Earth's deepest oceanic trenches.
It used a lot of innovative technologies that allowed it to do things and go places that were off-limits to other research submersibles.
These technologies included rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, similar to those used in laptop computers, for extended power, and single-hair's-width fibre-optic cables - borrowed from torpedoes - for control and telemetry.
Leading British oceanographer Jonathan Copley, from the University of Southampton, said the loss of an underwater vehicle was an ever-present risk.
"To obtain some kinds of knowledge - particularly when physical samples are required for analysis - there is no alternative to sending equipment into the deep ocean, because the ocean's watery veil masks its depths from many forms of 'remote sensing'", he wrote on a University of Southampton blog this weekend.
"And although we have learned a lot from a century or so of largely 'blind sampling' by equipment such as trawls and seabed corers (which are still fine for answering some questions in some areas), we now often require more detailed sampling and surveying, using deep-sea vehicles, to answer further questions."

Lagos customs chief Haruna Mamudu said the fake rice was intended to be sold in markets during the festive season.
He said the rice was very sticky after it was boiled and "only God knows what would have happened" if people ate it.
It is not clear where the seized sacks came from but rice made from plastic pellets was found in China last year.
Rice is the most popular staple food in Nigeria.
The BBC's Peter Okwoche says it is the only foodstuff that crosses cultural and ethnic lines across the country.
Africa Live: More on this and other stories
Whoever made this fake rice did an exceptionally good job - on first impression it would have fooled me. When I ran the grains through my fingers nothing felt out of the ordinary.
But when I smelt a handful of the "rice" there was a faint chemical odour. Customs officials say when they cooked up the rice it was too sticky - and it was then abundantly clear this was no ordinary batch.
They've sent a sample to the laboratories to determine exactly what the "rice" is made of.
They are also warning the public not to consume the mystery foodstuff as it could be dangerous.
Fake food scandals are thankfully rare in Nigeria when you compare it to countries such as China.
The big scandal here is fake pharmaceutical drugs that kill a huge number of people every year.
A total of 102 sacks, each containing 25kg (55lb), was seized.
Investigations are under way to establish how much of the contraband has already been sold.
The customs official called on "economic saboteurs who see yuletide season as a peak period for their nefarious acts to desist from such illegal" business activity.
Mr Mamudu did not explain how the plastic rice was made but said it had been branded as "Best Tomato Rice".
Like-for-like sales in its shops at railway stations and airports rose by 5% in the 21 weeks to 21 January.
Chief executive Stephen Clarke said: "This was driven by ongoing investment in the business and continued growth in passenger numbers."
The figures offset a fall of 3% in comparable sales in High Street shops to leave overall group sales up by 2%.
Takeaway food in the company's travel shops has been a big seller, while the fall in High Street sales has been explained by good promotional activity and comparisons with last year, when its colour therapy titles sold well.
However, Mr Clarke said the high street figures were "a good performance" and said strong sales of spoof humour books, such as Five on Brexit Island, The Grandparents and The Cat, had made a difference.
"While there is some uncertainty in the broader economic environment, we remain confident that the group is well positioned for the year ahead as we continue to focus on profitable growth, cash generation and investing in new opportunities," he added.
Total sales at travel shops, which also include those at motorway service stations, hospitals and workplaces, went up by 10% over the period, with High Street sales falling by 4%.
Analyst Sarah Johns, from Verdict Retail, said: "WH Smith's travel stores are highly accessible to shoppers as well as being seen as a trusted destination for books and souvenirs.
"The retailer should continue to offer promotions on snacks, as well as offering newspaper and drink combinations to convert browsing visitors to paying shoppers.
"Its High Street business fared much worse. WH Smith must listen to customer feedback, carefully manage its store estate and ensure it maintains a good standard of customer service, store layout and store decor."
The airport spent £1bn building the five-mile line 20 years ago to connect the hub to the Great Western track.
The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) previously decided Heathrow could not charge trains for using the line, which it said would cost about £42m a year.
The airport said it wanted to "ensure track access charges were fair".
Heathrow has taken the decision to the High Court for a judicial review and a ruling is expected "imminently", an airport spokesperson said.
Four Crossrail trains an hour will run between Paddington and Heathrow terminals 2 to 4, replacing Heathrow Connect trains from May 2018.
Heathrow has argued train operators should be charged to use the track the airport funded using private money.
But the ORR decided last May that the airport "is not permitted to introduce all of its proposed new charges for train operators to use its track".
A spokesperson for the railway regulator added the airport had proposed each train should be charged historical build costs of £597 and an operational expenditure charge of £138, which would significantly increase the overall costs of Crossrail.
Heathrow Airport said it was still "committed to increasing public transport to Heathrow and we look forward to the arrival of Crossrail in May 2018".
A spokesperson also said the investment recovery charge would actually be £460.09 per train between 2019 and 2028.
A spokesperson for the Department for Transport (DfT) said it was "inappropriate to comment on ongoing legal proceedings" but the government has previously backed the ORR's ruling.
Transport for London (TfL) has not commented.
The animals are part of a herd of 10 that have a very important job - protecting 24,000 free-range turkeys from being attacked by foxes.
The introduction of the alpacas - called Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Dasher, Dancer, Donner, Onion, Prancer, Sage and Vixen - was the brainchild of Tom Copas, the owner of family business Copas Turkeys.
He came up with the idea in 2015 after a series of fox attacks resulted in hundreds of birds being killed at his farm in Cookham, Berkshire.
"It's not as strange as it sounds," says Mr Copas. "Alpacas are used all over the world to deter wild dogs and coyotes.
"We've always had dogs that keep the birds safe, but they can't be on the ranges all the time, unlike the alpacas who stay there day and night."
The grass-eating alpacas are perfectly suited to the job because, while they will drive away foxes, they get on fine with turkeys.
Native to South America, alpacas react aggressively to foxes because in the wild foxes will try to kill unguarded baby alpacas.
"Alpacas are very territorial and although they seem standoffish, they're docile and co-exist pretty happily with the turkeys," says Mr Copas.
His family's farm has been in the turkey business since 1957, and planning for the Christmas rush starts in February.
"We contact butchers at the start of the year to calculate how many poults (young birds) we need to order," says Mr Copas.
"The turkeys roam around outside from six weeks old, and at 26 weeks they reach full maturity. They're then slaughtered, hand plucked, and game hung (hung for a length of time to improve their flavour)."
At around £14 per kg, the 24,000 Christmas turkeys are at the expensive end of the market, but Mr Copas says the price reflects the cost of rearing the birds.
"We spend more on feed than would be the case for supermarket birds that are typically slaughtered at 16 or 18 weeks."
As Mr Copas and his team are preparing for the final run into Christmas Day, a host of other businesses are also experiencing their busiest time of the year.
The Ministry of Fun, an entertainment production company based in south-east London, trains 40 stand-in Father Christmases to fill in for the big man at shopping centre grottos and children's festive parties.
James Lovell, the Ministry of Fun's founder, says that finding and training substitute Santas is a serious undertaking.
"It needs to be done properly because you have to recreate the magic of Santa in every way, and we start the recruitment process just after Christmas for the coming year."
Things ramp up at the Ministry of Fun at the beginning of November, when the surrogate Santas get their outfits, do a refresher course with role playing, attend a costume and make-up workshop, and are tested on remembering the names of all the reindeer.
They're also taught how to say Merry Christmas in various languages including French, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.
Mr Lovell says that a combination of other factors makes the perfect Santa.
"He has to look absolutely immaculate, smile incessantly, and be in a permanently good mood. But it's not just about appearance. He also has to have a great 'ho ho ho'."
One of the stand-in Santas, who is resolute about staying in character, says: "I spend the whole year looking forward to Christmas. I make toys, boss elves around, that sort of thing. It's a wonderful life."
December is certainly a very busy time of year for toymakers. Handmade rocking horse business Stevenson Brothers sells 100 horses at Christmas, the same amount customers buy across the rest of the year.
With prices starting from £5,000 for a basic horse, and rising to £96,000 for one encrusted with Swarovski crystals, they aren't the cheapest stocking fillers. However, they also aren't the quickest things to make, with a typical example taking two to three months to complete.
Mark Stevenson, co-founder of the Kent-based company, says: "The wood comes from East Sussex and Kent, the metalwork is done at a foundry round the corner from us, the leather is from Walsall.
"And we use horsehair from all over the UK, often from the customer's [real] horse. The same goes for horse shoes and to really personalise things families often incorporate their own crests."
Happily sweeping back and forth on one of his horses at the recent Spirit of Christmas Fair held at London's Olympia exhibition centre, Mr Stevenson adds that he has a 30-minute rocking horse ride every day.
"It's great for deportment and keeping my back beautifully straight," he says.
How Father Christmas manages to deliver everyone's presents on Christmas Eve remains a mystery, but it is possible to help him out by giving him some guidance on what gifts you want.
In the UK the Royal Mail has been delivering letters to Father Christmas since 1963. Andy Downes, its operations director, is keen to stress that because Santa is so busy letters must be sent to him in good time, and include your address if you want him to reply.
Mr Downes adds: "We have a team of elves to help process the letters, but to make sure they get there, they need to be posted by 9 December."
The 30-year-old Belgian was taken off during Saturday's 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace after being concussed, but also has knee-ligament damage.
Guardiola said Kompany is attending a Spanish hospital for treatment, adding: "He's sad but he is in the best hands."
Kompany, who has started two league matches this season, has already had calf, groin and thigh injuries in 2016.
It is his 35th separate injury since joining City from German club Hamburg in 2008.
"We have to try to help him week after week to see if he can play more often," added Guardiola, whose side travel to Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League on Wednesday.
"He could be out for weeks. He's sad and I'm sad. It's a long time he doesn't play."
Kompany has played 303 times for City, but the 22 appearances he made in 2015-16 is the fewest he has made in a season for City.
He has started 15 matches in all competitions this year and been taken off in five of them, with one other appearance from the bench.
When he returned in October from a six-month lay-off he said he would be "honest" with the club's medical staff and listen "when they made a decision".
Drivers will also be issued with a £70 fixed penalty charge and sent photographs of their traffic violation.
The notice will contain a link to a website where a video clip of the offence can be viewed.
The council said the changes will help tackle congestion and recovered money will be spent on traffic measures.
Cabinet member for transport Ramesh Patel said: "Enforcement will be taking place on the main routes and only during morning and evening rush hours, in order to improve traffic flows, minimise delays and give an encouragement to public transport.
"This is therefore not about income generation, but rather about tackling bad driving habits at specific times and locations in the network which end up causing delays for everyone."
Ex-Tory ministers John Redwood and Owen Paterson accused ministers of misusing £9m in public money to fund booklets.
But Europe minister David Lidington said the government had a duty to set out its position and give voters the "facts" ahead of the vote on 23 June.
The government's leaflets are being sent to every home in the UK.
The first batches began arriving at homes in England on Monday with the remainder going to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland after the 5 May devolved elections.
Out campaigners have reacted furiously to the leaflets - which come before strict spending limits kick-in ahead of the 23 June referendum - and more than 200,000 people have signed a petition calling for the leaflets to be scrapped.
Former defence secretary Liam Fox has written to David Cameron to demand that both sides of the EU referendum debate be reflected in the pamphlets,
Fielding questions from MPs in the Commons, Mr Lidington said the leaflets, which work out at "34p per household", were a "reasonable expression" of the government's case for staying in the EU.
He said the government "has not only the right, but a duty to explain to the electorate that when faced with a decision of this gravity the reasons why the government has come to the recommendation that it has done".
He said the pamphlets were "entirely lawful", and added : "Special rules limiting all government publications and communications will apply in the last 28 days of the referendum campaign."
But he was rounded on and heckled by many on his own side, who attacked the government over its decision to spent £9m on the campaign booklets.
Former Welsh Secretary John Redwood said it was "an abuse of public money, an insult to electors and... it's going to drive many more people to vote to leave", while former environment secretary Owen Paterson denounced it as a "crass move" that would "hugely galvanise people who want to leave the EU".
Ex-cabinet minister Liam Fox called it another "dodgy dossier" full of "opinions, assertions and suppositions" and in a reference to European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker added: "It's bad enough that we get junk mail but to have Juncker mail sent to us with our own taxes is the final straw."
Meanwhile, Nigel Evans accused the government of "Robert Mugabe-style antics" in the campaign - which provoked an angry response from the minister who told the MP it was "not his finest moment".
Long-standing Eurosceptic Sir Bill Cash, chairman of the Commons European Scrutiny Committee, had spearheaded a move to block the progress of the Budget in protest at the plans, but it failed after his amendment was not selected for debate.
Criticism of the leaflets and its contents were not confined to the Conservative benches, with Labour MP Kate Hoey - chair of the Vote Leave campaign - saying it was "deeply, deeply unfair" and warning the government that the "public will see through" it.
DUP MP Ian Paisley, meanwhile, said the pamphlets should come with a "very significant health warning", as he contested a number of assertions in the leaflet which he said the government had portrayed as "facts".
Defending the government, Conservative MP Nicholas Soames said: "Outside this incestuous hothouse and under the baleful influence of much of our dismal press, almost all grown-up, sane opinion will want to know what the government's position is and how it intends to present its case."
Labour also gave the government its support, with shadow Europe minister Pat Glass saying the document was "perfectly reasonable" as the government had an "obligation to explain its view".
She claimed Eurosceptic MPs' criticism of the leaflet was an attempt to "silence the arguments for remaining than trying to counter them".
Prime Minister David Cameron has said he would make "no apology" for the leaflets and that there was "nothing to stop the government from setting out its views in advance of the campaign".
Challenged on the plans by students in Exeter last week, he said he wanted every voter to have "all the information at their fingertips" when they go to vote: "I think that is money well spent. It is not... just legal, it is necessary and right."
In his letter to Mr Cameron, Mr Fox said: "The current proposal effectively doubles the budget for the Remain campaign and will offend the natural spirit of fair play that is so much a part of the character of the British people.
"If the government intends to go ahead with this publication, then I suggest you consider correcting the imbalance by allowing the opposite side to include the alternative view."
Downing Street said the campaign followed polling which suggested 85% of people wanted more information from the government to help them make an informed choice.
German Jost Capito, 58, was appointed as chief executive officer of McLaren Racing by former boss Ron Dennis last year and started work in September.
But he has become a victim of McLaren's decision to split with Dennis.
A McLaren spokesman said: "Regrettably, we have not been able to find common ground on what is and will be needed to make the team successful again."
The McLaren spokesman added that Capito, the former head of Volkswagen Motorsport, had "a strong commitment to bringing success back to McLaren.
"He wanted to build again a winning team and fully focus on making the McLaren F1 car competitive, with the aim of winning World Championships in coming years."
Sources close to Capito say he had not been working day-to-day at the company since early December but had remained formally an employee. He has only recently agreed departure terms.
Dennis was put on gardening leave from his position as chief executive officer of McLaren Group in November.
The 69-year-old remains non-executive chairman and a 25% shareholder but has no active role running the company.
Midfielder De Rossi has a reported £5.24m-a-year contact, making him the highest paid player in Serie A.
"Totti's departure has hurt us all. I hope the fans will remain close to us," said De Rossi, 33, who has played 561 games since his debut in 2001.
Totti retired on Sunday having made a club record 786 appearances.
De Rossi has won the Coppa Italia twice in his time at the Stadio Olimpico, and was named Italian Young Footballer of the Year in 2006 and Footballer of the Year three years later.
He added: "We had agreed on the contract some time ago, but on Sunday I did not want it spoken about it with respect to another story that was just about to finish.
"I thought, after Francesco, I could not leave the club as well. It would have been too big a blow."
Roma, who are without a head coach after Luciano Spalletti left the club on Tuesday, finished second in the league behind Juventus, qualifying automatically for the Champions League group stages.
Yorkshire's Ballance scored 24 runs in four innings as England drew last month's Test series in Bangladesh 1-1.
The 26-year-old scored 590 runs in his first 10 Test innings but averages 18 in his last eight.
Vaughan said: "He's not looking like anything the player he was when he first came into international cricket."
Zimbabwe-born Ballance replaced Jonathan Trott in England's batting order after the Warwickshire right-hander retired from international cricket.
New Zealand and Australia exposed the Yorkshire batsman's technique last year and he was dropped for the third Ashes Test.
Vaughan, who captained England in 51 of his 82 Tests between 1999 and 2008, told BBC Radio 5 live that Kent's Sam Billings should replace Ballance for the first of five Tests against India, which starts on 9 November.
"He looks shot for gameplan," added Vaughan.
"He's had his technique questioned. As soon as the ball swings or spins his technique doesn't look like it's going to give him any whereabouts of how to survive long enough.

"That's my real concern in this England side - they've only got Jos Buttler to replace Gary Ballance in the middle of the innings.
"If I was England, I'd be getting another right hander sent out to India as soon as possible. I'd go for Sam Billings.
"If you speak to former England batsman Graham Thorpe, he says Sam Billings is the best player of spin.
"I don't think it's being negative, it's just being sensible. You realise you need more right-handers, you need more competition in that middle of the innings.
"They've left themselves short of options in that middle order."
Vaughan said the only way England could compete with India, the world's top-ranked side, was to "park the bus".
"They haven't got enough expertise or wow factor with the ball to be able to blow India away. They have to try and stay in the game," he said.
"If they try and play this expansive way India will just laugh and have them on toast and it will be a 5-0 whitewash. No question about it.
"If you want to call it negative cricket, play negative cricket. The only way they can compete is to try and frustrate them and try to force the error."
England head coach Trevor Bayliss said England had no plans to schedule any warm-up matches between now and the end of the series with India.
Following the five Tests, England play three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 matches, with the final one on 1 February.
"We don't want to get to the third or fourth Test in India and everyone's shot mentally and physically," he said.
"I think if the players take the right messages and learn the right things from these two matches, that will stand us in good stead heading forward, which we know is going to be an even more difficult assignment in India."
The council needs to save £25m in 2017-18 alone by either increasing council tax, using reserves, capping school budgets or cutting services.
Councillor Chris Weaver said protecting residents from the brunt of the cuts was "getting harder every year".
The council has already made £200m of savings in the past 10 years.
Its budget stands at £587m, but almost 65% of this is spent on schools and social services.
Both areas face rising demand pressures as the city's population grows and the council's Budget Strategy Report will go before cabinet on Thursday.
Mr Weaver, cabinet member for finance, said: "There's no getting away from it, bridging this budget gap will be very challenging indeed, especially in light of the savings the council has made over the past few years.
"There are some services which may have to go or will only be saved through partnership working with residents or other organisations, or finding new ways to cover costs."
The National Charity Partnership found only a third of the expectant mothers questioned got the correct answer.
Health watchdog NICE advises that in the first six months of pregnancy women do not need any extra calories.
But in the last trimester they require 200 extra calories a day - equivalent to two pieces of wholegrain toast with olive oil spread.
The National Charity Partnership (NCP), made up of Diabetes UK, the British Heart Foundation and Tesco, says information on what pregnant women can eat is not reaching them.
Its research of 2,100 UK women suggests more than one in three expectant mothers think they have to eat 300 or more extra calories every day.
Meanwhile, 61% of the 140 women who were pregnant when questioned believed they should start taking on extra calories in the first or second trimester.
The NCP is working with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) to debunk the myth of "eating for two" and make dietary requirements for pregnant women easier to understand.
Eating for two is the idea that women need to eat for both them and their unborn child when they are pregnant.
Over a quarter of pregnant women admitted they used "eating for two" as an excuse to eat unhealthy food all the time.
Alex Davis, head of prevention for the NCP, said the myth was "very unhelpful" for getting the right information out to mums.
"Eating healthily and consuming healthy portion sizes are important before, during and after pregnancy to increase the chances of conceiving naturally, reduce the risk of pregnancy and birth-related complications and stave off health problems like type 2 diabetes and heart and circulatory disease in the long-term."
A woman normally needs to have 2,000 calories a day - this includes food and drink. But when you are in the last trimester of your pregnancy, you should eat 200 extra calories a day.
There is no need for any additional calories in the first six months.

Professor Janice Rymer, vice president of education for the RCOG, said eating too much while pregnant "can be detrimental" to mother and baby.
"Women who are overweight during pregnancy are at an increased risk of having a miscarriage and developing conditions such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia.
"They are also more likely to have a premature baby, require a Caesarean section, experience a haemorrhage after birth or develop a clot which can be life-threatening.
"In addition, overweight women have bigger babies who are themselves more likely to become obese and have significant health problems as a result."
The Ifo business confidence index, based on about 7,000 company responses, fell to 106.2 points for August from 108.3 in July.
It was the steepest monthly fall in more than four years and took the index to its lowest since December 2014.
Despite the gloom, the euro was up slightly against the pound and dollar.
The latest drop follows a much smaller decline in confidence in July immediately after the UK voted to leave the EU.
Economist Carsten Brzeski at ING-DiBa said the ongoing decline "suggests that German businesses have suddenly woken up to Brexit reality".
"It is not the first time that the Ifo reacts with a delay of one or two months to global events,'' he said, adding that at present, the German economy remained in a "virtuous circle".
Across the sectors it examines, the Ifo found confidence had fallen in all but construction and services.
"The German economy has fallen into a summer slump," Ifo president Clemens Fuest said.
Other official figures released earlier this month showed the German economy grew 0.4% in the second quarter compared with the previous three-month period.
That was a slower pace than the 0.7% growth in the first quarter, but double what economists had expected.
The Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation (Ciswo) now has almost 30 groups across the former coalfield.
It offers a variety of services such as home visits, bereavement support, help with benefits applications and industrial illness compensation claims.
But with an ageing population, it is looking at its future purpose.
One of Ciswo's groups meets every other Wednesday in Brynaman, Carmarthenshire and Ashley Jones, 85, comes to every meeting from Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen.
"I started working in East Pit in 1946. I've worked in various collieries all around here, opencast and small mines. I've been in mining all my life," he said.
"We have talks, we have quizzes, have a cup of tea, biscuits. We're only here for a couple of hours, but it goes just like that.
"It's very important to me because I buried my wife nine years ago, so I've lived on my own, so it's nice for the company," he said.
"We discuss things, then we play bingo, and we enjoy ourselves," Sylvia Evans, from Brynaman, said.
"The men were underground and us wives, we always worried about what might happen.
"That brought us closer together. But when the pits closed, some of that sense of community was lost too.
"These groups help us keep some of that spirit going," she said.
A small team in Pontypridd also manages subsidised holidays to Ciswo's hotel, a former miners' convalescence home in Bournemouth.
The demand for Ciswo's support groups may have peaked but the ageing population of ex-miners means the charity's considering what it will be for in future.
"Ciswo has a fiduciary interest in a vast range of active miners' welfare facilities and former miners' welfare facilities," said its regional manager Andrew Morse.
"But Ciswo is about protecting recreational facilities, hopefully forever and a day.
"But when the last mining beneficiary, has come and gone, sadly, chances are there will still some form of role in terms of the preservation of the recreational facilities for the next goodness knows how many generations."
Wayne Thomas, one of Ciswo's national trustees, added: "We're hoping to set up surgeries, a bit like the ones local councillors have.
"So if we've missed people from our social inclusion groups, or there are people that don't want to come to our groups, those surgeries will mean we'll be able to reach them. That's the next goal."
Kevin Lane, 47, was jailed for shooting dead car dealer Robert Magill in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire in 1994.
Lane always said he was innocent and claimed a corrupt detective meant his conviction was unsafe. He took his case to the Court of Appeal last month.
But a judge said his arguments were "speculative" and rejected his appeal.
Lane's barrister told the court the detective who dealt with the case, Det Supt Chris Spackman, was "spectacularly corrupt".
He was jailed in 2003 for plotting to steal £160,000 from Hertfordshire Police, the Court of Appeal heard.
Lawyers argued his "reckless dishonesty" meant Lane's conviction for murder was "manifestly unsafe".
Lady Justice Rafferty told the hearing: "The arguments are generalised criticism of Spackman's corrupt and dishonest behaviour.....which was adverse to Kevin Lane.
"We are not persuaded that the safety of the conviction is in doubt and this application is rejected."
Simon Walker, director-general of the Institute of Directors, said he was "appalled" by how overseas students had been caught up in targets for reducing immigration into the UK.
Universities were "victims of political point-scoring", said Mr Walker.
But Immigration Minister James Brokenshire said the rules on student visas "strike the right balance".
A conference at Regent's University in London examined the visa system for overseas students with members of the Home Affairs Select Committee and representatives of the government, business, schools and universities.
It follows warnings from universities that the student visa process has become so rigorous that it is putting people off - and university leaders have lobbied for students not to be included in net migration figures.
It was a meeting of different sectors, but not a meeting of minds.
University representatives made strong calls for a different approach to visas for overseas students - while Mr Brokenshire asserted that many of their concerns were based on "myths and misconceptions".
Vivienne Stern, director of the UK Higher Education International Unit, which promotes the UK's universities overseas, said the decline in applications from Indian students to UK universities was a "serious cause for concern".
She said there needed to be a much clearer recognition that universities were global enterprises, in terms of academic staff and international partnerships for research.
This also meant an international student body, but in the UK she said that this was being jeopardised by immigration policies.
Ms Stern said that overseas student numbers were being sustained by an over-reliance on recruiting students from China.
There was strong criticism of the role of politicians in student visa policy from Mr Walker, head of the Institute of Directors, representing business leaders.
He said it was not "evil or racist" to voice concerns about immigration, but it was irresponsible for politicians to use these concerns to put up barriers to recruiting overseas students.
He said he was "appalled when politicians make cheap and pathetic gestures to what they think is public opinion".
He said it "damages this country in every sense".
Mr Walker said in a global economy it was "business common sense" for the UK to be open to attract the brightest students from overseas.
The benefit of "soft power" to the UK from overseas students was emphasised by Aldwyn Cooper, vice chancellor of Regent's University.
He said it was being "substantially eroded" by the current attitude towards overseas students - and that there would not be as many world leaders educated in UK universities as in the current generation.
Alp Mehmet from Migration Watch questioned whether it was really the visa process that had caused a dip in overseas applications last year - or whether it was more about the level of tuition fees being charged by universities.
Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said the debate on immigration "simply cannot be ignored".
He said immigration was a "key issue for all political parties".
But he said "students are not migrants" and that there needed to be an "intelligent, factual debate" about student visas.
If these arguments were pushing for a change in policy, the immigration minister made it clear that none was likely to be forthcoming.
He emphasised that there was "no cap on the number of international students" - and that claims to the contrary were fuelling "myths and misconceptions".
The inclusion of students in migration figures was in compliance with how the United Nations measured immigration, he said, and it was a measure used in countries such as the United States, Australia and Canada.
Migrants, whether students or otherwise, had an impact on public services, he said.
Mr Brokenshire also reminded the conference of the "money-making scams" that had operated in this sector, with estimates of 50,000 students in bogus colleges in 2009-10.
The government had had to intervene to protect legitimate students and the reputation of UK higher education, he said, with 750 private colleges stopped from recruiting overseas students.
The tightening of visa policy represented "sensible, long overdue reforms".
"For those playing by the rules, the UK is enthusiastically open," said Mr Brokenshire.
The centres in the north - where the disease is most common - are to control the worst of the symptoms.
The disease's cause is unknown, but it affects only children - who suffer from seizures, stunted physical and mental growth and nodding of the head.
There have also been cases of the disease in South Sudan and Tanzania.
More than 200 sick children turned up on Monday for treatment in the centres in the districts of Kitgum, Pader and Lamwo, Uganda's Commissioner for Health Services Dr Anthony Mbonye told the BBC.
Health workers cannot offer definitive treatment - until doctors find out what lies at the root of the disease - but, Dr Mbonye says, they have been trained to help improve the lives of children by managing the neurological symptoms.
Anti-epileptic drugs have been effective in treating nodding disease patients, according to the World Health Organisation.
Nodding syndrome causes children to spasm uncontrollably - and eventually to waste away and die.
The BBC's Ignatius Bahizi in Kampala says a local MP, Beatrice Anywar, has spearheaded a campaign to press the government to deal more effectively with the disease, which, he says, has caused huge anxieties in rural communities.
Uganda's health ministry has recorded 3,000 cases and almost 200 deaths since 2010.
In a statement, it said that the judiciary at the time had abandoned its role as protector of basic rights.
"The time has come to ask for the forgiveness of victims... and of Chilean society," said the judges.
More than 3,000 people were killed under the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet between 1973 and 1990.
The statement by the National Association of Magistrates of the Judiciary comes a week before the 40th anniversary of the coup that brought General Pinochet to power.
It said its members, and in particular the Supreme Court, had failed in its duty to protect victims of state abuse.
The magistrates' association acknowledged that the Chilean judiciary could and should have done much more to safeguard the rights of those persecuted by the dictatorship.
It said the judges had ignored the plight of victims who had demanded their intervention.
Chilean courts rejected about 5,000 cases seeking help on locating missing loved ones abducted or killed by the authorities.
Critics say their usual response was they had no information about their fate.
Chile's current centre-right government has said the country will officially recognise the anniversary of the coup.
President Sebastian Pinera said last month that the coup on 11 September 1973 was "a historical fact" and its 40th anniversary should be a time of "reflection."
The announcement came after the conservative senator and former president of the Independent Democratic Union, Hernan Larrain, apologised for his party's actions.
"I ask for forgiveness," he said. "This is my voice for reconciliation."
Mr Trump later stood by his claim in a televised debate in Miami, saying: "There is tremendous hatred, and I will stick with exactly what I said."
It led to an outcry, with Senator Marco Rubio launching an impassioned defence of Muslims.
There are clearly some radical Muslims who despise the US and other Western countries - including those who carried out the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington.
But what of Donald Trump's claim that Muslims in general hate the country?
No major polling agency has yet asked whether respondents "hate" America. However, several have measured broad sentiment among the world's 1.6 billion Muslims.
The Pew Research Centre, which surveys global attitudes, said anti-Americanism was strong around the word around the time of the US invasion of Iraq.
However, currently there is little evidence of profound anti-American sentiment except for in a handful of countries, it says.
Bruce Stokes, director of global economic attitudes at Pew, says sentiment towards the US varies widely between Muslim-majority countries.
"We tend to see more negative sentiment among Muslims in the Middle East, such as those from Egypt and Jordan," he says.
"But Muslims outside the Middle East generally have a more positive outlook," he adds.
In Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, 62% of people hold a favourable opinion of the US, Pew's latest data suggests.
That figure rises to 80% in Senegal, a country which is over 90% Muslim. Mr Stokes points out that this is a stronger approval rate than Germany.
"Attitudes have also been changing over time. We've seen a gradual rise in positive sentiment since President Barack Obama came to power," Mr Stokes says.
"Even in the Palestinian Territories, where sentiment is 70% unfavourable, that's an improvement on 82% in Barack Obama's first year."
The BBC World Service commissioned its own poll of global attitudes in 24 countries in 2014.
Among other things, it asked respondents if they thought the US "had a mainly positive or mainly negative influence in the world".
Pakistanis generally held the worst view of the US, with 61% saying the US had a negative influence.
But both China and Germany were not far behind, scoring 59% and 57% respectively.
Turkey, almost 98% Muslim, was split between 36% positive, 36% negative and 28% neutral.
Dalia Mogahed, co-author of Who Speaks for Islam?, say religion is not the key driver of anti-American sentiment in Muslim-majority countries.
"It's nothing to do with religion and everything to do with policy," she says.
In Pakistan, for example, anti-US sentiment spiked by 7% in 2011, the Pew data shows - that was the year in which the US launched a raid to kill Osama Bin Laden, which many Pakistanis saw as an infringement of their national sovereignty.
"Also, compare Muslim sentiment towards America with sentiment towards Canada. Our neighbour to the north shares our dominant culture and religion but not our foreign policy. And global Muslim opinion towards Canada is generally very positive," Ms Mogahed says.
In the end then, it comes down to an old statistician's staple: Correlation does not imply causation.
Earlier this week, Paramount Pictures released a series of posters to promote upcoming sci-fi film Arrival.
One poster showed a UFO hovering above Hong Kong's iconic skyline - except the skyline also included Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower.
The blunder enraged many Hong Kong social media users, who flooded the film's Facebook page with the hashtag #HongKongisnotChina.
Hong Kong, a former British colony, was returned to Chinese sovereignty in 1997.
But it is deeply divided over its relationship with China, and many in the territory have a strong sense of Hong Kong identity.
Hong Kong's democracy debate
One comment on the film's Facebook page said: "Please improve on the accuracy of your posters, the Shanghai tower does not belong to Hong Kong, remove that please. Please don't mix up Shanghai and Hong Kong. They are totally different, it's very offensive to a lot of people from Hong Kong."
"Hong Kongers are now feeling insulted and offended," said another.
Some went as far as to call for a ban on the film, which stars Amy Adams and is set for release in November.
The poster was later removed from the Facebook page and a statement was posted saying: "An error in one in a series of posters for 'Arrival' was made by a third party vendor."
"We are disappointed to have not caught the error."
Later a similar poster with the actual Shanghai skyline appeared.
Not everyone was pleased, though, with the fact Hong Kong's skyline had now been replaced with Shanghai's.
"The appearance of the Oriental Pearl Tower in HK was wrong, so you rectified it by keep the tower and replacing the city of HK with Shanghai? So HK's the "WRONG" part here?" Facebook user Jonathan Ip wrote.
Meanwhile, some people have made fun of the commenters, accusing them of overreacting, or having "glass hearts" - a Chinese phrase referring to fragile egos.
What are Hong Kong's localists angry about?
Hong Kong was handed over to China by Britain in 1997, under an agreement that certain rights and freedoms would be guaranteed for 50 years.
As a result, Hong Kong has its own legal system, and enjoys rights including freedom of assembly and free speech, which are restricted in mainland China.
However, there are growing concerns over what is seen as interference by Beijing into Hong Kong affairs.
In 2014 there were mass demonstrations demanding full democracy in Hong Kong, after the Chinese government said it would allow the territory to elect its leader - but only from a pool of Beijing approved candidates.
After that movement failed to win any concessions from Beijing, there has been an increase in localist sentiment, with some people demanding greater autonomy for Hong Kong, and protection against what they see as the dilution of the city's identity.

John Radford, 70, was left in a coma after the dispute near Holmfirth in 2013. He died 16 months later.
Michael Gledhill, 24, of Bramble Bank, Holmfirth, was found guilty of dangerous driving in 2014.
He later admitted causing death by dangerous driving after Mr Radford died, Leeds Crown Court heard.
Gledhill, a former soldier, was sentenced to four years and eight months in prison, with judge Christopher Batty telling him he had deliberately driven his car towards his victim in a fit of temper - an act motivated by "rage".
The court previously heard how words were exchanged between Mr Radford and Gledhill through the driver's side window as they travelled on the A616 Huddersfield Road in New Mill on 31 July 2013.
When Gledhill's car collided with the bike, Mr Radford fell into the road and sustained brain damage.
Mr Radford was the chairman of Huddersfield and District Cyclists and had been promoting a campaign calling for better investigation of road accidents.
In a statement, his family said: "Dad's death was unnecessary and today's outcome doesn't change anything for us as a family.
"As a family we have had to watch dad struggle and suffer on a journey that ended with the worst possible outcome."
The court heard Gledhill had served in Afghanistan and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder at the time of the collision.
The incinerator near Connah's Quay on Deeside aims to create enough energy to power 30,000 homes.
But before it is given a permit, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) wants to examine any potential impact and hear from residents and health bodies.
A drop-in session will be held on Wednesday.
US company Wheelabrator has said its Parc Adfer facility would process up to 200,000 tonnes of household waste a year.
If all goes to plan, building work could begin on the site on the Deeside Industrial Park later this year and the incinerator could start operating in 2018.
The drop-in session will be held at Deeside Leisure Centre from 13:00-20:00 GMT. The public will have a month to comment.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Public Health Wales will also be asked to look at any impact on people's health.
Sian Williams, NRW head of operations for North Wales, said: "We will only grant the permit if we are satisfied that the proposed facility can operate without harming the environment or the health of people nearby."
Waste would arrive by lorry from Anglesey, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Gwynedd. Any recyclable material would be weeded out.
Combined heat and power technology would then incinerate the waste, while at the same time generating steam, which would produce electricity through a turbine and generator.
Plans were submitted last October.
He said there were "real opportunities" for economic reform and new trade deals which meant Brexit could be a success.
He highlighted agricultural reform and a developing relationship with the Republic of Ireland as areas where the UK could be positive.
After Brexit, the Irish border will be the only EU-UK land border.
"I think the challenges we face mean it's not a bed of roses, no one should pretend that, but equally it is not the end of the world and there are some real opportunities that arise from the fact of Brexit we might take," he said in an interview with Radio 4's Today programme.
"There are many opportunities and I think we should look at it in a much more self-confident way than either side is approaching it at present.
"Being out of what is a pretty unsuccessful European Union - particularly in the economic sense - gives us opportunities as well as obviously great political difficulties."
Lord King suggested that Britain would be better off economically completely out of the EU single market and that there were "question marks" about staying in the customs union as that may constrain the government's ability to sign trade deals with countries outside the Union.
"I think it's more difficult to take advantage of those opportunities," Lord King said when asked about staying inside the customs union after leaving the EU - a position, for example, adopted by Turkey.
"I don't think it makes sense for us to pretend we should remain in the single market and I think there are real question marks about whether it makes sense to remain in the customs union.
"Clearly if we do that we cannot make our own trade deals with other countries."
The government has made it clear it wants to control immigration laws and be outside the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, two positions which appear to be incompatible with membership of the single market.
Lord King said the government should outline its policies on immigration "sooner rather than later" and that it would be a mistake to put the issue into the "basket" to be negotiated once Article 50 is triggered next year and the formal process of leaving the EU begins.
Lord King defended his successor, Mark Carney, who has faced criticism for being too "political" in warning about the possible economic consequences of leaving the EU.
The former governor said Mr Carney had been put in an "almost impossible position" because of the polarised nature of the debate and had remained well within the Bank of England's remit to outline the possible path of economic growth in the short term should Britain vote to leave the EU.
Lord King said it was too early to tell what the overall effect on the economy would be, despite data since the referendum result being more positive than many economists predicted.
In his first interview, Dominic Chappell told BBC Newsnight he apologised "sincerely and utterly" to the chain's 11,000 staff.
Mr Chappell bought BHS's 163 stores from retail tycoon Sir Philip Green for £1 in March 2015.
Mr Chappell said the plight of the staff "plays on" him deeply.
But, he said, had he not become involved the chain would have gone into liquidation far sooner. A spokesman for Sir Philip denied that claim.
Mr Chappell confirmed that he had received £2.6m in payments during his ownership, but defended that income as fair. "I took a big risk going in," he said.
"We live in a risk reward society - that's the way companies are built and fail. Did I take a lot of money out? Yes I did. But did the business fail because of the amount of money I took out? No it didn't.
"This was just a drip in the ocean compared to the money that was needed to turn around BHS."
His salary of more than £600,000 was, he said, established by an independent committee.
Mr Chappell blamed Sir Philip Green for the eventual demise of the business, saying the Arcadia owner had "tipped it over the edge", but he had heavy criticism, too, for Frank Field, the politician leading the inquiry into why BHS failed.
Mr Chappell branded the Labour MP "pathetic".
He also said that he came very near to completing a deal to pass BHS on to the Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley, at one point handing over the ownership certificate, only for the purchase to fail.
It is less than a year-and-a-half since BHS was bought for £1 by Retail Acquisitions, a company specially created for the deal and 90% owned by Mr Chappell.
Barely a year after that deal had gone through, BHS went into administration and the group is now in the final stages of being wound up.
The question of who should carry the blame for the collapse of the retailer is the subject of a number of different inquiries, including one led by MPs.
And much of the focus has fallen upon two men - the retail billionaire Sir Philip Green, who owned BHS for 15 years, and Mr Chappell.
Mr Chappell, who had no experience of retail when he bought the business, has been described as a "Sunday league retailer", "a chancer" and a "Walter Mitty" fantasist by politicians.
He told BBC Newsnight that he made no secret of his lack of retail experience, saying "Sunday League retailer" was a fair description, but said he was an expert in turnarounds, which made him a suitable owner.
"We took a chance on BHS. We were the only people to stick our heads above the parapet and give it a go. Otherwise Sir Philip would have liquidated the company and thousands of people would have lost their jobs straight away. We did everything we could to save the company.
"We were the only people who were prepared to take that risk to try to get it to break even, to try to make a profit. So if that makes me a chancer, well yes I am."
He laughed off suggestions that he had threatened to kill chief executive Darren Topp, saying he had merely said he would "sort him out", but confirmed he had intended to fire Mr Topp from his job.
Mr Topp has subsequently been very critical of Mr Chappell's ownership of the retailer saying "he had his fingers in the till".
Mr Chappell defended his decision to use company funds to pay for a £1.5m loan to his father, saying "it had no impact whatsoever on BHS - and yes, I needed to help my parents, which I did".
He also described as "absolute nonsense" claims that he tried to use company funds to pay for holiday flights.
As for Sir Philip, Mr Chappell told the BBC the pair's working relationship had started well but then deteriorated.
He told the BBC: "Philip has been in BHS for one thing only, and that was to extract as much money as possible, which he did within the first couple of years."
He said he was shocked by the dilapidated state of some of the BHS stores, blaming Sir Philip for failing to invest in the company.
"He put very little investment into BHS," said Mr Chappell. "You only need to go and look at some of the stores that were in terrible condition. I went with my team to 50 to 60 of the stores in the first year.
"Some of them didn't have air-conditioning or heating. Some had water pouring through the roof, some had two or three floors closed that had been closed for two or three years because they were hazardous, asbestos, God knows what else.
"He did not invest money back into the business as he should've done."
Mr Chappell said his own reputation had been "absolutely destroyed" by the failure of BHS.
"We had some very, very big problems all the way through and we had the tide against us all the way. There was not one day that went past when we had some luck on our side. But we didn't just walk in, rip the guts out, and walk out again."
As for his own future he says he's expecting "a very very difficult period".
"I think corporately it's going to be hard for me to slot back into another business although, believe it or not, I have been offered two or three other positions in major retailers over the last couple of weeks, so who knows?"

The £750m refurbishment has seen a new concourse, large atrium which lets the light into the station for the first time in years and a new shopping centre, Grand Central, complex being built.

Martin Tom, of Beccles, was sentenced to five years and four months in September after he admitted attacking a woman in her bed in May.
The 26-year-old's jail term was increased to seven-and-a-half-years at a Court of Appeal hearing in London.
Police said the initial sentence had not "fully recognised" that the offence happened during a burglary.
During the initial hearing, Ipswich Crown Court heard that Tom entered the victim's home in Beccles and initially intended to steal her mobile phone, but then forced himself on her.
When he was detained by police nearby, he tried to bite police officers, the court heard.
Tom admitted rape and resisting a police officer in the execution of their duty.
Det Con Darren Winchester, who began the process of appealing the sentence, said: "We are very pleased that his sentence has been increased today, as the justices acknowledged that the nature of this incident, commissioned during the act of burglary, had not been fully recognised in the initial sentencing.
"This is the correct and proper result." | Plans to save the Isle of Man's historic horse tram service are set to go before Tynwald later this month.

Braydon Anderson appeared on the 18th century building's roof after a climate change rally on the streets below.
Anderson, who pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court, smashed windows with a broom handle and a gold-plated crown he had broken off a column.
He shattered a stained glass window and 11 others on 7 March last year.
A CCTV camera was also smashed during the spree.
After police, fire and ambulance crews arrived, Anderson engaged officers in an eight-hour stand off. He was arrested at 05:15 GMT the following day.
Anderson, of Portland Place in Northampton, admitted criminal damage and wore a blue long-sleeved top in court.
He was remanded in custody until the sentencing hearing, adjourned by Judge Deborah Taylor until 1 September for sentence at Southwark.

Carmel Napier, also lead on domestic abuse for the Association of Chief Police Officers, said other services also had a vital role to play.
In 2010 there were 8,075 domestic abuse incidents reported in the Gwent force area - an average of 22 per day.
Mrs Napier will chair a domestic violence conference in June.
She said she hoped the conference will spell a new era for tackling violence in homes across Wales.
The event follows high-profile cases in Wales where victims of domestic abuse have died at the hands of their attackers.
Last June, North Wales Police was criticised in a report over the murder of Karen McGraw, 50, by her former partner at her Flintshire home.
An investigation said police could not have prevented her death but should have done more to protect her.
In August 2009, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said South Wales Police and Gwent Police had failed Joanna Michael, who was killed by her boyfriend despite dialling 999 twice during the attack.
Mrs Napier has invited Home Secretary Theresa May to the conference, along with assembly government representatives, members of the IPCC and representatives from all the different agencies and services involved when a woman, man or child becomes a victim of domestic violence.
She told BBC Wales: "The one place we should all feel safe is within our homes.
"Domestic abuse is one of those hidden behind the curtain things. Research shows it happens at least 40 times before police are notified, and generally when we get notified it's to an incident.
"We have been training and focusing the energies of our staff on taking positive action at the scene and making our specialist domestic violence officers available 24-7 so they can provide the on the spot assistance and guidance to officers, victims and families to make sure safety plans are in place for the future."
But she said it was regrettable so few agencies are set up to respond in the 24-7 way "the blue light services" do.
"The police service has got to protect and reassure communities and take positive action but they do not have a core role in telling people how and where and what to do with their lives.
"The conference is at a very senior level and aims to share the lessons learnt and to agree a clear plan where every agency will have its accountability and responsibilities outlined and will reach agreement on how to take this forward."
She referred to a pilot in the Newport area where the council and police worked together with all agencies on one day to look back at domestic abuse incidents from the previous 24 hours.
"The idea was to agree what support and services the victims, offenders, children and neighbours will need to make sure such incidents don't happen again and how victims and families move forward with things like housing, finance, schooling for children, education and welfare.
Mrs Napier said she hoped the conference on 14 June would "draw out" what was needed in terms of getting the basics right and "making clear the responsibilities of neighbours, families and friends in supporting people". | Gwent Police's new chief constable says domestic violence can no longer be viewed as solely the police's responsibility. | 12,878,846 | 644 | 28 | false |

The 153 skiers were stuck on the slopes of the Cervinia resort for seven hours on Saturday after wires carrying the cabins became tangled in strong winds.
The cars stopped at an altitude of more than 2,500m (8,366ft), and the rescue ended just before midnight.
No cases of hypothermia were reported during the incident in the Aosta Valley, near the French border.
"Luckily the wind wasn't too cold... everything is under control," Adriano Favre, the head of the local rescue teams, was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
Television pictures of the rescue showed the skiers using wires to slide down the cable to the ground.
In September, more than 30 tourists spent a cold night trapped in several cable cars high above the French Alps.
They were eventually freed after rescuers managed to restart the cabins by relaxing the tension of tangled cables.
Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA), the only charity-funded helicopter air ambulance, has been upgraded to a new model.
The new helicopter was revealed by Health Secretary Shona Robison and SCAA chairman John Bullough.
The UK government has provided £3.3m of funding for the new helicopter from Libor fines on banks.
The money comes from fines imposed on the banking industry for rigging the Libor benchmark interest rate.
The EC 135 replaces the current charity-funded air ambulance, the country's last Bolkow 105, which will be taken out of service.
The new helicopter was unveiled at the SCAA's Perth Airport base.
Liz Smith, Scottish Conservative MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife said: "The new helicopter will provide a modern, spacious, powerful and all-round more capable aircraft that could increase operational capacity by over 50%.
"Since the charity Air Ambulance was launched it has attended over 750 time critical emergency callouts.
"The £3.3m funding provided by the UK government from Libor fines on banks is very welcome and has helped to put the air ambulance on strong and sustainable footing for the future.
"Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance is one of the best things that has happened in Perthshire. It has successfully brought together the public, big business and local community groups. I wish the charity the very best going forward."
So far, Putin has driven past all of them and shows no sign of changing course. A recent Pew poll provides at least a partial explanation: Putin has a considerable domestic political wind at his back.
Even though there is growing concern among the Russian people about the state of the economy, 88% of those surveyed nevertheless trust Putin's leadership.
Putin may well be driving Russia into the wilderness but so far the Russian people are enjoying the ride. The current dynamic reminds them of the halcyon days of the Soviet Union.
With no obvious end in sight, Europe, the United States and Russia are left with a series of reciprocal moves that do not necessarily represent an escalation but certainly deepen the chasm between East and West.
The European Union recently renewed sanctions against Russia for another six months as part of a Western strategy to increase the costs to Putin to a degree that it changes his calculus.
At least for now, Putin's domestic political gain outweighs the international pain.
US Defence Secretary Ash Carter, on a visit to Estonia, announced additional support for Nato's rapid reaction force.
While the prepositioning of equipment and increased exercises communicate the alliance's preparedness to defend its allies, the same Pew poll suggested that there is a discernible sentiment across "Old Europe", notably in Germany, against a military response, even if Russia attacks a Nato ally.
One key factor in that scepticism is Germany's preoccupation with keeping the European Union intact and the eurozone afloat.
In fact, if the EU fails to reach a revised financial agreement with Athens in time to meet a scheduled repayment to the International Monetary Fund on 30 June and Greece defaults, it may be forced out of the eurozone.
If that happens, the fallout could weaken either the existing European consensus on sanctions against Russia or their effectiveness, since Athens might increase its economic reliance on Moscow to help with its economic recovery.
Either way, Putin gains.
Putin for his part pledged to strengthen Russia's nuclear forces, the only genuine strategic card that Russia has left. And it plays well with the home crowd.
Nato is also committed to helping Ukraine improve its ability to defend itself, a process that will be likely to take a decade or more.
Recognising that stability will take years to achieve under the best of circumstances, as there is a growing understanding that the crisis is larger than Ukraine.
Until now, Europe has been guided by a sensible policy of isolating Russia over Ukraine while leaving all doors open for political, economic and military co-operation if and when Russia stops its destabilisation strategy against Kiev.
For example, Russia still has an ambassador at Nato and all the structures for defence co-operation remain in place, if dormant.
But Putin is challenging how the international system works, the degree to which international norms will be enforced and what regional prerogatives his country should have. Russian policy under Putin is far more about counterbalancing than co-operating.
Thus, the new Nato with 28 member states finds itself wrestling with an old question: what to make of Russia and what are the implications for transatlantic security.
To the extent Ukraine is not a temporary diversion but a manifestation of a more permanent challenge to Western interests and values, it raises the question of whether the current Russian revisionism is a reflection of its leader or the system that produced him.
If the leader is driving the system, the existing antagonism could last as long as a decade. If the system is driving the leader, then it requires a fundamental rethinking of the strategy that has guided European and American policy since the end of the Cold War.
That's not a question that needs to be answered now. Putin and Russia are currently one and the same.
But just to put that in perspective, presidential campaigning is under way in America. If the next president serves two terms, he or she will still be dealing with Putin in his or her eighth year in office.
If there is another attempt at a reset with Russia down the road, it will be the president after next who makes that attempt.

"I in no way advocate the gender pay gap," he said, claiming his remarks had been "taken out of context".
Chambers faced a social media backlash after claiming men's salaries should be higher as they had families to support.
The actor also said his Casualty co-star Derek Thompson deserved to be the BBC's highest-paid actor.
"It's like being a footballer - you earn your credits," he was quoted as saying at a book launch.
"I've just done six months on Casualty, but Derek has done 31 years of service."
"My wife works really hard as a stay-at-home mum, but I'm the only one bringing in a salary for our family," he reportedly went on to say.
"Many men's salaries aren't just for them, it's for their wife and children, too."
Thompson's salary was among those disclosed in the BBC's annual report, which highlighted a disparity between what the corporation's male and female celebrities are paid.
"I am completely mortified by the stories that have run today and didn't mean to offend anyone by my comments," Chambers told the Press Association on Tuesday.
"I was explaining that I thought it had stemmed from that past, and shouldn't be how things are now.
"I truly believe that change needs to happen."
Chambers, a former winner of Strictly Come Dancing, plays Sam Strachan on Casualty and its sister show Holby City.
His comments come amid continued debate about the BBC's pay disclosures and the wider issue of gender pay disparity.

Four people have been taken to hospital and a further eight treated for asthma symptoms since the fire began at a recycling plant on Thursday.
Described by authorities as "the size of a sports field", the fire is likely to burn for at least two more days.
It has cast smoke and ash as far as 15km (nine miles) away.
Metropolitan Fire Brigade Commander Brendan Angwin said the blaze is being fuelled by thousands of tonnes of plastic, cardboard and paper.
"It is extremely difficult to gain access to the fire," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"We are really concerned for firefighter safety."
The local Environmental Protection Agency has described air quality in the vicinity as "very poor".
Authorities have urged anyone near the fire, at Coolaroo in Melbourne's north, to take shelter indoors. An emergency relief centre has been set up.
It is the third fire this year at the facility, reports say.
German Under-21 international Kachunga, who is on loan from Bundesliga side Ingolstadt, headed past Daniel Bentley five minutes after the break.
The Bees pulled level through Nico Yennaris after he slipped the ball through loan keeper Danny Ward's legs.
However, Palmer netted with his second touch two minutes later after Bentley had saved well from Rajiv van La Parra.
After enjoying the lion's share of the ball in a goalless first half, the Terriers finally made the most of their most of their dominance when 24-year-old striker Kachunga nodded in at the far post from Tommy Smith's cross, leaving Bentley stranded.
Going a goal behind spurred Brentford into life, as Lewis Macleod's shot went just wide from 25-yards following Sam Saunders' free-kick.
Moments later, Macleod caught the Huddersfield defence napping, as his neat flick was collected by Yennaris for a simple tap-in.
However, 19-year-old Chelsea loanee Palmer - who came off the bench following the visitors' equaliser - brought the ball down brilliantly before scoring to ensure the hosts' first opening-day win since 2010.
Huddersfield manager David Wagner: "It was an outstanding performance and we had many opportunities in the first five or six minutes. In the second half we came into the game more and scored a great goal.
"Then we struggled for 10 or 15 minutes and defended too deep but then Kasey did a great job when he came on.
"What made me really proud was the togetherness we showed. The starting XI must know what the game plan is and those on the bench have to make an impact. Our substitutes were outstanding."
Brentford manager Dean Smith: "The game was a tactical stalemate until the first goal and that changed the game. I was disappointed with the first goal but overall the lads showed a lot of spirit.
"We brought on two subs - Yennaris and Sam Saunders - and we looked more lively. Nico gave us great energy when he came on and scored the goal. He had an infected toe and needed an injection so he could get on the field.
"At the moment we need wide players and that is what we are looking for."

Last week a High Court judge said the curb meant "real misery" for families with children aged under two.
Labour's Debbie Abrahams told the BBC the party would consider removing the £20,000 limit on household benefits if it came to power.
Ministers say the cap encourages work and help is on offer for lone parents.
The cap, first introduced in 2013 but reduced in 2016, limits the income households receive in certain benefits. The idea behind it was that no household should get more in benefits than the average working household.
Single parents win benefits challenge
Is the cap working?
Cap starts amid fears for single parents
The cap now stands at £23,000 for those in London and £20,000 a year outside London. Parents must work for at least 16 hours a week to avoid the cap.
But four lone parent families won a judicial review last week. Their solicitor said their benefits were, or were expected to be, cut as they were unable to work the 16 hours required.
The government says it will appeal against that ruling.
Mrs Abrahams, the shadow work and pensions secretary, said a Labour government would "make sure we would uphold the ruling from the court decision".
Asked whether the cap would go altogether under a future Labour government, Mrs Abrahams said: "We would be looking to see how we do that."
She admitted that Labour had not yet costed the measure but said: "We know that, for example, the court ruling is about £50m so it's not an astronomical figure."
She said she recognised that for some people the capped level "might seem like an awful lot of money".
However, she highlighted "the implications for people in the poorest circumstances, the implications around child poverty which affects children not just while they're young but for the rest their lives - it affects how their brains develop and everything."
Last week a judge in London ruled he was "satisfied that the claims must succeed" against the work and pensions secretary.
Mr Justice Collins said: "Whether or not the defendant accepts my judgment, the evidence shows that the cap is capable of real damage to individuals such as the claimants.
"They are not workshy but find it, because of the care difficulties, impossible to comply with the work requirement."
The solicitor who represented the claimants said she thought around 17,000 families were affected by the cap in this way.
A Department for Work and Pensions spokeswoman said: "The benefit cap incentivises work, even if it's part-time, as anyone eligible for working tax credits or the equivalent under Universal Credit, is exempt.
"Even with the cap, lone parents can still receive benefits up to the equivalent salary of £25,000, or £29,000 in London, and we have made discretionary housing payments available to people who need extra help."
They will forensically examine captured drones to try to find out who was flying them.
The invention of easy-to-fly, remote-controlled aircraft has caused a huge security headache for prisons.
But critics have called the plan a "red herring" to distract people from "chaos and crisis" in prisons.
The national initiative will see police and prison officers share information about the quadcopters and methods used.
Prisons Minister Sam Gyimah said: "We are absolutely determined to tackle the illegal flow of drugs and mobile phones into our prisons and turn them into places of safety and reform.
"The threat posed by drones is clear but our dedicated staff are committed to winning the fight against those who are attempting to thwart progress by wreaking havoc in establishments all over the country.
"My message to those who involve themselves in this type of criminal activity is clear: we will find you and put you behind bars."
The Prison Service could not give details about how many officers would be involved, but reports suggested £3m would be spent on the new task force.
John Podmore, former head of the service's anti-corruption unit, said whilst there was an issue with contraband in prisons, targeting this money at drones was a "PR stunt".
"I have seen no evidence that there is a real problem with drones," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. "I think the number of incidents last year was 33.
"There are some 10,000 mobile phones found every year in prisons. My question to the Prison Service would be, how many of those were found hanging from drones?"
Instead, Mr Podmore thought the service should be looking the wider issue of contraband smuggling, including the "main route [of] staff corruption".
Mike Rolfe, national chair of the Prison Officers Association, said prisoners had told him that they had seen two or three drones a night delivering packages over the walls.
However, he said he agreed with Mr Podmore that the initiative was an attempt to distract people from "the real issue [of] jails in complete chaos, in a crisis and flooded with drugs, mobile phones and weapons".
BBC home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford says prison walls are now not much of a barrier for those wanting to smuggle contraband into jails.
There have been some recent successes in finding and punishing those who are behind the drone flights, says the Ministry of Justice.
In December, Dean Rawley-Bell, 21, was jailed for four years and eight months after he used a drone in attempts to smuggle drugs and mobile phones into Manchester Prison.
Renelle Carlisle, 23, was sentenced to three years and four months in October after he was caught outside Risley Prison in Warrington with a drone in his bag, trying to smuggle drugs inside.
In July, 37-year-old Daniel Kelly was jailed for 14 months for trying to supply contraband to offenders in Elmley and Swaleside Prison in Sheppey, Wandsworth Prison in London and the Mount Prison in Hemel Hempstead.
The prime minister ruled out running for a third term in office ahead of the 2015 general election.
He said if he won he would serve the full five years of this Parliament, until 2020, and then leave Number 10.
Mr Cameron has been the MP for Witney, in Oxfordshire, since 2001.
He was re-elected in 2015 with a majority of 25,155.
Speaking to BBC deputy political editor James Landale last March, Mr Cameron had said: "I've said I'll stand for a full second term, but I think after that it will be time for new leadership.
"Terms are like Shredded Wheat - two are wonderful but three might just be too many."
There has since been much speculation over who will succeed him as prime minister, with Mr Cameron tipping Home Secretary Theresa May, Chancellor George Osborne and London Mayor Boris Johnson as potential leaders.
Mr Cameron was asked at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday if he would resign as PM if the UK voted to leave the EU - against his recommendation - in June. He replied: "No".
Victory for Mrs Clinton was widely expected but it gives her momentum ahead of the "Super Tuesday" primaries in 11 states this week.
"Tomorrow this campaign goes national," she told cheering supporters.
Mr Sanders has congratulated her but said the campaign was just beginning.
With almost all the votes counted Mrs Clinton leads Mr Sanders by an almost 50-point margin.
Eight out of 10 black voters backed Mrs Clinton, exit polls suggested, a key section of the Democratic electorate.
It is Mrs Clinton's third victory in four contests, after wins in Iowa and Nevada. She lost to Mr Sanders in New Hampshire.

Eight years ago, she lost the South Carolina primary overwhelmingly to then Senator Barack Obama.
It was a different story this time. Soon after polls closed she told supporters: "You sent a message - in America when we stand together, there is no barrier too big to break."
On the Republican side, billionaire Donald Trump leads a field that has dwindled to five from 12 a month ago.
He won the Nevada caucus on Wednesday by a wide margin - correspondents say he is beginning to look unstoppable.
In her victory speech, Mrs Clinton aimed a dig at the man tipped to be the Republican presidential candidate.
"Despite what you hear, we don't need to make America great again. America has never stopped being great," she said, referencing Mr Trump's campaign slogan.
Mr Trump's closest challengers in the Republican field, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, sought to put him under pressure by releasing several years of their tax returns.
The property magnate says he will not release his until an audit has been completed; his rivals accuse him of holding back the information to hide exaggerations about his wealth.
Mr Sanders, a veteran senator from Vermont, said he was now focussing on the Super Tuesday vote.
"In politics, on a given night, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Tonight we lost," he told reporters in Minnesota, one of the states taking part.
"I congratulate Secretary Clinton on her very strong victory. Tuesday, over 800 delegates are at stake, and we intend to win many of them."
But there was some welcome news for Mr Sanders after he was endorsed by Robert Reich, a former official in Bill Clinton's presidential administration.

In depth: Primary calendar
Sheffield City Council's cabinet agreed to set aside £262,000 from public health funds so voluntary groups can bid for cash to help running costs.
The idea came after thousands of people objected to council plans to close several of the city's 28 libraries.
The authority said it would work with community groups to finalise business plans by June.
Those libraries are: Broomhill, Ecclesfield, Frecheville, Gleadless, Greenhill, Jordanthorpe, Stannington, Totley, Upperthorpe and Walkley.
The council said if groups did not make "sufficient progress, or fail to submit a business plan to the required standard" closures would still be needed.
Speaking to business leaders, he called for London to have more autonomy in the aftermath of the EU referendum.
His speech came as a petition for London to become an independent state reached 175,000 signatures.
Responding, Mr Khan said: "As much as I might like the idea of a London city state, I'm not seriously talking about independence today."
He added: "I am not planning to install border points on the M25.
"But on behalf of all Londoners, I am demanding more autonomy for the capital - right now.
"More autonomy in order to protect London's economy from the uncertainty ahead, to protect the businesses from around the world who trade here and to protect our jobs, wealth and prosperity."
Mr Khan said he was not "asking for London to get a bigger slice of the British pie", but for Londoners to "get more control over the slice of the pie we already get."
City Hall said the mayor was looking for the devolution of fiscal responsibility, including tax raising powers, as well as more control over business and skills, housing and planning, transport, health and policing and criminal justice.
BBC London political editor Tim Donovan said Mr Khan wanted London to retain income from stamp duty and business rates, and he backed calls for a revaluation of council tax.
He was also calling for more control of suburban rail routes and the scope to borrow more for infrastructure, Donovan said.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said that London would have a seat in the negotiating table following Brexit.
London Councils supports the mayor and its chair, Jules Pipe, said: "London government is speaking with one voice on this issue. We need more power over our own destiny to help cope with the fallout of leaving the EU."
The mayor of London has insisted he is not getting involved in the Labour leadership issues facing Jeremy Corbyn.
He told BBC Radio London he has "not had time" to look at internal Labour Party politics because he has been focused trying to secure London's economic future and to reassure businesses following the Brexit result.
Mr Khan - who campaigned for a Remain vote - addressed business leaders at the Times CEO Summit this morning, where he asked for their help to push for London to have more autonomy over its finances.
He also said we can't blame the referendum campaign for decisions made by the public.
In the Democratic race, Bernie Sanders had a surprise victory in Michigan, but Hillary Clinton increased her overall lead with a big Mississippi win.
Ted Cruz won a Republican-only race in Idaho.
The states are the latest to choose candidates to compete in November's presidential election.
It was a terrible night for Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who came in a distant fourth in both Michigan and Mississippi, a week before his must-win contest in his home state.
Has Trump killed off Rubio?
US media: Has Sanders changed Democratic race?
What will Americans do if Trump wins?
Election results - as they come in
Mr Trump is leading Mr Rubio in his home state of Florida 40% to 24%, according to new CNN/ORC polls.
On Wednesday, he called on the Republican party to unite behind him, after a week of stinging criticism from party leaders.
"Instead of fighting it, they should embrace it," he said.
Former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina came out in support of Ted Cruz, calling him a "constitutional conservative".
"Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are two sides of the same coin," she said at a rally in Miami. "They're not going to reform the system. They are the system."
"We're going to have to beat Donald Trump at the ballot box, and the only guy who can beat Donald Trump is Ted Cruz."
With his victories, Donald Trump has solidified his position as the Republican front-runner, withstanding a barrage of negative advertisements questioning everything from his business acumen to his use of vulgar and profane language.
Rather than deliver a conventional victory speech, the billionaire held a news conference and conducted what looked in parts like an infomercial, arguing that products that bear his name, like bottled water and wine, are commercial successes.
But it's the Trump political brand that's not only proving highly popular but also resilient to attacks from establishment Republicans who have intensified their attacks in the hope of slowing his momentum.
Showing how the normal political rules do not apply, Trump reckoned that one of the attack ads, bleeping out various swear words he's uttered during the campaign, actually boosted him because it showed that he's not bound by political correctness and tells it like it is.
In search of Trump's Scottish roots
How extreme are Trump and Cruz?
The Democratic opponent Mr Trump is most likely to face if he gets the Republican nomination, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, addressed voters in Ohio after her Mississippi win.
"Running for president shouldn't be about delivering insults," said Mrs Clinton, in a thinly veiled dig at the outspoken Mr Trump.
"It should be about delivering results."
Republican
Democratic
Mr Sanders' win in Michigan came as a shock after weeks of polling that suggested Mrs Clinton was well ahead.
"I am grateful to the people of Michigan for defying the pundits and pollsters and giving us their support," Mr Sanders said in a statement following his win.
"This is a critically important night. We came from 30 points down in Michigan and we're seeing the same kind of come-from-behind momentum all across America."
Analysts say conservative firebrand Mr Cruz appears to be the only candidate capable of stopping Mr Trump, who has been fiercely attacked by the Republican establishment.
The party's 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, described Mr Trump as a bully and a fraud who would lose a general election because of his extreme positions on immigration and Islamic State.
A central plank of Mr Trump's campaign is to deport 11m undocumented migrants and build a wall on the southern border, paid for by Mexico.
The primary and caucus elections determine the number of delegates assigned to each of the candidates.
The delegates then endorse their candidate at the party conventions in July. To secure their party's nomination, a candidate must win a majority of delegates.
A gunman opened fire in Reina nightclub at about 01:30 local time (22:30 GMT), as revellers marked the new year.
Suleyman Soylu said efforts were continuing to find the attacker, who was believed to have acted alone.
At least 69 people were being treated in hospital, the minister added. Four were said to be in a serious condition.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the attackers were trying to "create chaos" and pledged to "fight to the end" against terrorism.
Addressing reporters, Mr Soylu said: "A manhunt for the terrorist is under way. Police have launched operations. We hope the attacker will be captured soon."
Only 21 of the victims had been identified, he said. Fifteen or 16 were foreigners, he said, and at least three of the Turkish victims may have been employees at the club.
"This was a massacre, a truly inhuman savagery,'' he said.
Early media reports suggested the attacker may have been wearing a Santa Claus outfit, but newly-obtained CCTV footage shows the suspected attacker in a black coat outside the club.
Mr Soylu said the gunman was wearing a coat and trousers, but "we were informed that he was wearing different clothes inside".
Reina nightclub, in the the Ortakoy area of Istanbul, is an upmarket venue on the banks of the Bosphorus.
Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin said the attacker killed a policeman and a civilian outside the club before entering and opening fire.
"Before I could understand what was happening, my husband fell on top me,'' the Associated Press news agency quoted Sinem Uyanik, who was inside the club, as saying.
"I had to lift several bodies from (on) top of me before I could get out. It was frightening.''
There were reportedly as many as 700 people in the nightclub at the time of the attack, some of whom jumped into the water to escape.
The Turkish authorities have imposed a media blackout on coverage of the attack, citing security and public order concerns, but it does not extend to official statements.
Some media reports spoke of more than one attacker and Dogan news agency reported that some witnesses claimed the attackers were "speaking Arabic", but there is no confirmation of this.
Despite there being no official statement about who might be behind this brutal attack, the finger of blame is being pointed at the so-called Islamic State.
In the last two years of attacks in Turkey, Kurdish militants have mostly targeted military forces and police, while IS is known to target civilians.
IS leaders have threatened Turkey and called on their followers to carry out attacks inside the country.
Turkey began a ground operation against IS as well as Kurdish groups inside Syria four months ago.
In a statement, President Erdogan condemned those trying to "demoralise our people and create chaos with abominable attacks which target civilians".
"We will retain our cool-headedness as a nation, standing more closely together, and we will never give ground to such dirty games."
US President Barack Obama, who is on holiday in Hawaii, was among the first international leaders to make a statement after being briefed by his team.
"The president expressed condolences for the innocent lives lost, directed his team to offer appropriate assistance to the Turkish authorities, as necessary, and keep him updated as warranted," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said in a statement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the "cynical" murder of civilians. "Our shared duty is to decisively rebuff terrorist aggression," he said in a telegram quoted on the Kremlin website.
Turkey and Russia are working together on efforts to end the fighting in Syria, though they support different sides in the conflict.
Istanbul was already on high alert with some 17,000 police officers on duty in the city, following a string of terror attacks in recent months.
Many were carried out by so-called Islamic State (IS) or Kurdish militants.
Less than a fortnight ago, Russian Ambassador Andrei Karlov was shot dead by off-duty Turkish policeman Mevlut Mert Altintas as he gave a speech in the capital Ankara.
After the shooting, the killer shouted the murder was in revenge for Russian involvement in the conflict in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

The Hainan Airlines route to Beijing was announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping during his state visit to the UK in October.
Prime Minister David Cameron said at the time that the Northern Powerhouse project has "Chinese backing".
The new 10.5-hour route to the Chinese capital will fly four times per week.
It makes Manchester the only airport outside of London with a scheduled non-stop service to mainland China.
Heathrow Airport has been flying direct since November 1980.
Mr Cameron and President Xi also announced a £130m "China Cluster" project at Airport City Manchester, which will provide a commercial base for Chinese businesses arriving in the UK.
Manchester Airport confirmed that Air China is also planning a direct Manchester to China route, but congestion at Shanghai Pudong International Airport is causing delays in the launch.
The al-Shabab militants had ambushed the police near Yumbis town in Garissa County, Mwenda Njoka added.
He dismissed as propaganda al-Shabab's claim that at least 20 policemen were killed in the attack.
Al-Shabab is a Somalia-based group which has stepped up attacks in Kenya.
In April, it carried out a siege on Garissa University College and 148 people were killed.
Last week, the militants briefly seized control of Yumbis, about 100km (62 miles) east of Garissa town, and warned residents not to work with the government.
Latest African news updates
BBC Somali service reporter Abdullahi Abdi says al-Shabab appears to be firmly establishing itself in Garissa County, despite government efforts to defeat the militants.
The policemen were ambushed while rushing to the aid of colleagues who had been hit by a landmine explosion, he says.
Four police vehicles were set ablaze by the militants, he adds.
Al-Shabab said in a statement that its "special forces" had carried out a "successful" operation which led to the killing of at least 20 policemen.
However, Mr Njoka, the interior ministry spokesman, said only one officer was wounded and had been airlifted to hospital for treatment.
There have been reports of al-Shabab fighters roaming between villages in north-eastern Kenya for the last three weeks.
Local reports have spoken of groups of 20 to 40 militants in different areas, armed with sophisticated weapons like hand-held rocket launchers, walkie-talkies and vision cameras.
Last week, they occupied Yumbis for a whole day, despite the heavy presence of police and soldiers in the region.
Garissa County Deputy Commissioner Ahmed Adan Shabeel says the thick forest in the area, and the fact that al-Shabab fighters include local residents who know the terrain better than soldiers, makes it difficult to drive them out.
Governor Jerry Brown and other senior lawmakers had included the proposal in a climate change bill, but were forced to retreat amid growing opposition.
State senate leader Kevin de Leon, who supported the cut, accused oil firms of deploying "scare tactics".
The leaders have vowed to push ahead with other reforms, including boosting renewable electricity use.
"I'd say oil has won the skirmish, but they've lost the bigger battle," Mr Brown said.
"I'm more determined than ever to make our regulatory regime work for the people of California - cleaning up the air, reducing the petroleum and creating green jobs."
The plans to require a 50% reduction in petroleum use in motor vehicles by 2030 were met with fierce opposition from business groups and oil companies, who warned of negative consequences for California's economy.
Mr De Leon said the industry had a "singular motive" and accused it of creating a "multibillion-dollar smoke screen" to deter lawmakers from voting for the legislation.
Republicans, along with many moderate Democrats, had resisted the proposal.
Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association, welcomed Wednesday's decision to cut the emissions target from the bill.
"Today's announcement was an acknowledgement that California's energy future, economic competitiveness, and environment are inextricably linked," she added.
California is the second-biggest producer of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels among US states.
Mr Brown pledged to move ahead with the two remaining components of the climate change bill, aimed at increasing renewable electricity use and improving energy efficiency in buildings.
The issue has been a key priority for the governor during his final term.
He is expected to attend the United Nations climate change conference in Paris in November.
Farmopolis has been made using about 15,000 plants adopted from the RHS show in May which have been planted on a derelict jetty on Greenwich Peninsula.
Those behind the project said they wanted to create a "hub centred around farming" above the Thames.
The garden, which has no entrance fee, will open to the public on 30 July.
It has been developed through a partnership between event organiser Secret Productions, arts and architecture practice Wayward, and landowners Greenwich Peninsula.
Jo Vidler, director of Secret Productions, said part of the difficulty had been keeping flowers that had been grown specially for Chelsea alive, as many are out of season.
"The gardeners are really enjoying the challenge I think," she said.
Organisers also said they hoped to develop the area into a working urban farm.
"We have a lot of ambition around food growing, but we're starting with plants and flowers," Wayward's Heather Ring said.
The garden will be open between 10:00 and 22:00 BST all week.
Juan Mata, who was substituted after coming on in last week's Community Shield, opened the scoring with a tap-in after Simon Francis' error.
Wayne Rooney headed the second before Zlatan Ibrahimovic marked his United league debut with a goal from 25 yards.
Adam Smith scored a consolation goal for the Cherries.
United were without world-record £89m signing Paul Pogba through suspension, while midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan started on the bench, with Mata preferred.
Relive the action from Vitality Stadium
As starts go, this was a highly satisfactory day for United - the Mourinho era began with a solid victory at a ground where they came unstuck under Louis van Gaal last season.
United started slowly and did not register a shot on target until a Rooney effort produced a comfortable save from Artur Boruc in the 27th minute.
Yet it was job done once the visitors opened the scoring with a messy goal and added two more in the space of five second-half minutes to put them in a commanding position.
Mata looked unhappy when he was replaced 30 minutes after coming on at Wembley against Leicester last Sunday but the Spaniard was all smiles as he got Mourinho's reign up and running.
Boruc made a fine block from Mata after Francis' under-hit back-pass but the rebound bounced off Francis into the former Chelsea player's path and he tapped home.
United's second goal was also down to some good fortune - Rooney was well positioned to head home after Anthony Martial's mis-hit shot fell perfectly for his captain.
Ibrahimovic was denied by a one-handed Boruc save but the Swede made it 3-0 with a drilled low finish from outside the area to leave Mourinho smiling.
Ibrahimovic continued his remarkable record of marking debuts with a goal.
The 34-year-old Swede has now scored on his first league starts in England, Italy, Spain and France, and in the Champions League.
Any concerns the frenetic pace in English football's top-flight might not suit Ibrahimovic were dispelled with his well-executed finish to follow a goal at Wembley last week.
It was his third goal in total for his new club after scoring on his first appearance in a United shirt in a friendly against Galatasaray as well as the winner in the Community Shield against Leicester.
Mourinho's oldest signing of the summer could turn out to be his shrewdest.
Bournemouth:
Jordon Ibe - Bournemouth's club-record £15m signing from Liverpool looked a threat coming in off the right and driving through the middle. He also had a goal-bound shot blocked after twisting and turning inside the United area.
Lewis Cook - The 19-year-old midfield signing from Leeds United did not lack confidence and showed enough promise to suggest he could be a success in the Premier League.
Manchester United:
Eric Bailly - Solid league debut and made his presence felt very early on with a no-nonsense challenge on Joshua King. A commanding presence in defence.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Took a while to get going but, when he did, the former Paris St-Germain striker made an impact. Ibrahimovic was not afraid to go in where it hurts and was involved in an early clash of heads with Simon Francis while attempting to connect with Antonio Valencia's cross.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Came on for the final 15 minutes with the points in the bag. Replaced Juan Mata, who surprisingly started in place of the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
Eddie Howe has been one of the busiest top-flight managers in the transfer market this summer, having brought in six major signings.
And while the Cherries made it hard for United in the first half before Francis' error, they were exposed by ruthless opponents after the break.
There is still work for Howe to do on his team and his next addition looks like being Marc Wilson, the Stoke City defender, for £2m.
Bournemouth conceded 67 goals last season - more than relegated Newcastle - and they needed Boruc at his best to keep United from a more handsome win.
That needs addressing if Bournemouth, who scored when Smith found the top corner from 16 yards, are to stay out of the bottom three this season.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "It was an even game until the first goal. You can't give Manchester United goals which we did.
"Credit to our boys. We kept fighting away and got the goal back and ended the game very strongly.

"I thought Jordon [Ibe] did well in flashes and showed what he is going to bring to us. He is a really exciting talent and there is more to come from him."
8: Only Alan Shearer and Frank Lampard (8) have scored more opening day Premier League goals than Wayne Rooney (7).
1: Juan Mata scored his first Premier League goal under the management of Jose Mourinho (no goals in 13 Premier League games for Chelsea in 2013-14, before leaving for Manchester United).
0: Jose Mourinho has never lost an opening day fixture in the Premier League (W7 D1).
11: Bournemouth have now gone 11 Premier League games without keeping a clean sheet.
Bournemouth look to bounce back when they provide the opposition for West Ham's first Premier League game at London Stadium on 21 August (16:00 BST). United welcome Southampton to Old Trafford on Friday.(20:00 BST).

UN envoy Staffan de Mistura called a temporary pause, saying the talks would resume on 25 February.
But the opposition HNC said they would not return until conditions improved on the ground, accusing government forces of bombing and starving civilians.
The government said the opposition caused the suspension, acting on the orders of Turkey and Gulf states.
On Thursday a donor's meeting takes place in London aiming to secure extra funding for those affected by the war.
Over 70 countries are taking part, with the UN hoping to raise billions of dollars. Funding last year fell 60% short of the UN's target.
More than 250,000 people have died in almost five years of war in Syria.
Eleven million others have fled their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other, as well as the Islamic State group.
The civil war has also been a major driving force behind Europe's migration crisis.
Announcing the suspension of the talks, Mr de Mistura admitted "there's more work to be done".
But he said "it is not the end and it is not the failure of the talks".
The opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC), however, soon cast doubts over whether they would return.
"The whole world sees who is making the negotiations fail. Who is bombing civilians and starving people to death," the HNC's chief coordinator Riad Hijab said.
The Syrian government said the talks' suspension was down to the opposition.
The head of the Syrian delegation, Bashar Jaafari, accused them of acting under the orders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey "to bring about the talks' failure", Syrian state television reported.
It was always known these talks would be difficult, but no-one expected them to end after just two days, with the UN special envoy standing in the driving sleet outside the opposition's Geneva hotel to deliver the news.
Staffan de Mistura insists this is a temporary pause, not failure. But these negotiations never really got started. Hardly any of the planned meetings with UN negotiators actually happened, the two sides were never even in the UN at the same time, let alone in the same room.
Their conditions for engaging in negotiations were poles apart: the opposition wanted sieges lifted and prisoners released, the Syrian government played for time, asking for a written agenda and a full list of participants.
Meanwhile, on the ground, the war rages on, with the Syrian army, backed by Russian bombing, retaking rebel-held territory. The UN says the peace talks will start again on 25 February, but if the military push continues, things in Syria could look very different by then.
Meanwhile France accused the Syrian government and Russia, who has been carrying out air strikes in support of President Assad, of "torpedoing" the peace talks.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Moscow and Damascus "visibly don't want to contribute to them in good faith".
The US also said Russia was partly to blame for the suspension, saying its air strikes were deliberately targeting opposition groups.
In a strongly worded statement, Secretary of State John Kerry said that "the continued assault by Syrian regime forces - enabled by Russian air strikes - against opposition-held areas... have clearly signalled the intention to seek a military solution rather than enable a political one".
Both the US and France have condemned Russian bombing around Syria's second city of Aleppo, and Mr Kerry repeated his demand for the bombardment to stop.
"It is past time for them to meet existing obligations and restore the international community's confidence in their intentions of supporting a peaceful resolution to the Syrian crisis," Mr Kerry said.
"During this pause [in the talks], the world needs to push in one direction - toward stopping the oppression and suffering of the Syrian people and ending, not prolonging, this conflict."
But earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stressed that it would not stop the air strikes "until we really defeat terrorist organisations like al-Nusra Front".
Syria's opposition has been angered that major government offensives continued as the talks got under way.
On Wednesday, the government claimed a major victory against the rebels by breaking a siege of two towns north-west of the city of Aleppo, severing a key rebel supply route into the city.
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 al-Nusra Front, 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.
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.
Willy Selten denies intentionally tampering with beef consignments from his factory in the city of Oss.
Mr Selten appeared in court on Tuesday in Den Bosch accused of falsifying documents.
About 50,000 tonnes of meat was recalled across Europe during the horsemeat scare in 2013.
Mr Selten's wholesale business, Willy Selten BV, was raided by the Dutch food safety authority and he was subsequently arrested.
Prosecutors allege the firm's accounts show horsemeat was processed as beef.
Mr Selten admitted horsemeat was processed at the plant, and said some mistakes may have been made due to poor storage controls.
But he told Dutch news agency ANP that he did not knowingly sell horsemeat as beef and said he believed he would be acquitted.
The company was declared bankrupt in April.
On Monday a slaughterhouse boss manager in England became the first person to be sentenced in connection with the horsemeat scandal.
Peter Boddy, 65, was fined £8,000 (€10,800) after admitting one count of failing to abide by EU meat traceability regulations.
Officials say the decision was taken after several years of discussion about how to prevent neo-Nazi interest.
Hitler was born in the house in the town of Braunau am Inn in April, 1889.
The property has been leased from its owner by the government since 1972, and it was used for many years as a centre for people with disabilities.
But it fell empty in 2011 following a dispute between the government and the owner, Gerlinde Pommer, who refused to grant permission for renovation.
The new plan would include an offer of compensation from the state to her, interior ministry spokesman Karl-Heinz Grundboeck told AFP news agency.
"We are currently examining the creation of a law, which would force a change of ownership and pass the property to the Republic of Austria.
"We have come to the conclusion over the past few years that expropriation is the only way to avoid the building being used for the purposes of Nazi [sympathisers]."
He did not say what the government might then do with the property.
Hitler's old house gives Austria a headache
Home towns struggle with legacy of Stalin and Hitler
Locals say the property still attracts some neo-Nazi sympathisers, despite the house being unmarked.
The only link to its past is a stone outside inscribed with the words: "Never again Fascism. In memory of millions of dead." Hitler's name does not appear.
Various proposals have been put forward about how to use the house, including turning it into flats, a centre for adult education, a museum or a centre designed to confront the Nazi past.
There have also been calls for its demolition, with one Russian MP offering to buy the house and blow it up.
Adolf Hitler lived on Salzburger Vorstadt for only a few weeks, before his family moved to another address in Braunau. They left the town for good when Hitler was three years old.
Hitler went on to rule Nazi Germany from 1933 until his death at the end of World War Two in 1945.
The Nazi regime, which triggered the war with the invasion of Poland in 1939, killed millions of people, mainly Jews, in the Holocaust.
Brexit and the centuries-old dispute over Gibraltar might suggest that UK-Spanish relations are between a Rock and a hard place.
But the 12-14 July state visit could send a sunburst through those clouds. The royal couple were due to arrive in London on Tuesday.
Both royal lines are descended from Queen Victoria - something to celebrate, in tough times for both countries.
This visit is nothing if not a survivor, having been called off - once in 2016, when Spain endured 10 months of political crisis without a government, and again this year, when UK Prime Minister Theresa May called a snap election in June.
"These have been times of great difficulty on both sides, with the double cancellation telling its own story," says Ana Romero, a leading Spanish journalist and royal observer. She wrote a book - Final de Partida (End Game) - about the strained personal circumstances surrounding the abdication of King Felipe's father, Juan Carlos.
Ms Romero says King Felipe's reign has been three years of "permanent difficulty", including a fraud trial in which his sister, Princess Cristina, was eventually acquitted, while her husband Iñaki Urdangarin was sentenced to six years in jail.
Almost as damaging were supportive text messages Queen Letizia reportedly sent to a suspect in another corruption case.
"Now after three years of hard climbing, it is as if Felipe and Letizia have reached the bright summit, because the British monarchy represents the height of royal protocol," Ms Romero says, before adding that both countries face great problems.

Spain is still emerging from an economic crisis that has seen confidence in institutions plummet due to corruption scandals.
British politics entered a turbulent period with last year's referendum vote to leave the EU. Brexit remains shrouded in uncertainty.
Many of Spain's leading companies have made bold moves into Britain, including Santander bank and Ferrovial, an infrastructure group that owns Heathrow's operating company, among other UK concerns.
Brexit is also a worry for the many citizens living in each other's country and for those with investments at stake.
The almost 300,000 British citizens registered as residents in Spain, and many more who come and go, are concerned about their healthcare and pensions, says Anne Hernandez, leader of Brexpats in Spain, a group with more than 4,000 members.
While British diplomatic sources say they consider Spain an ally in negotiating relatively benign terms for Brexit, they also admit they are concerned about Madrid's insistence on re-examining the status of Gibraltar - an already delicate equation.
This is especially the case after the European Council included a clause in its guidelines for talks, stating that no agreement on the EU's future relationship with the UK would apply to Gibraltar without the consent of Spain, giving Madrid a potential veto.
All eyes will be on King Felipe when he speaks to UK parliamentarians on Wednesday, to see if he emulates his father Juan Carlos. As king back in 1986 Juan Carlos raised Spain's claim over the Rock when addressing MPs and Lords, on the last Spanish state visit to the UK.
The signs are that Felipe is prepared to broach the issue as he did before the UN General Assembly last autumn. Describing Gibraltar as the last colony in Europe, Spain's king invited the UK to "put an end to this anachronism".
King Felipe, who will also have a private meeting with Prime Minister May, is considered a consummate diplomat, having been patiently groomed for the job by representing Spain in Latin America and elsewhere for almost two decades before his coronation.
He also proved in 2004 that he was his own man by marrying the TV journalist Letizia Ortiz, a commoner and divorcee.
For the first time Prince Harry, 32, will have an important ceremonial role, escorting Felipe and Letizia to Westminster Abbey.
He will also attend a grand state banquet, after the Queen has welcomed her Spanish guests to Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.
Islamic Relief Worldwide denied claims made first by Israel and later the United Arab Emirates and hired leading auditors to review its West Bank work.
The charity works with international organisations and governments, such as Unicef and the World Food Programme.
Israel has not responded so far.
Islamic Relief Worldwide works in more than 40 countries.
It started 30 years ago in Birmingham, where it was founded by a group of post-graduate students.
The UK government, through its international development arm DfID, gave Islamic Relief £3.2m in 2013.
The kind of work the charity does ranges from health and education projects, to help with orphans.
But earlier this year Israel claimed the charity was using its donations to fund the Palestinian group Hamas, which it and others sees as a terrorist organisation.
Islamic Relief suspended its work in the occupied West Bank - where the allegations were focused on - and commissioned the audit.
It says the audit, carried out over a few days in September this year, shows "absolutely no evidence" of any link to terrorism.
The audit saw projects run by the charity visited, the organisation's paperwork and procedures were examined, and staff and recipients of aid spoken to.
The report does throw up some minor accounting and procedural errors, but finds no evidence that funds have been diverted to Hamas or anyone else.
It also details a thorough screening process of staff, donors, and recipients of aid.
The charity is not publicly saying which company they paid to do the audit - but they do say it is a leading global audit firm.
Islamic Relief says because of what it calls the "sensitivities in the region" it has agreed with that firm not to identify it.
Neither the Ministry of Defence in Israel nor the Israeli embassy in London would comment on the report.
The UK's Charity Commission, which regulates charities, is understood to have received a copy of the report. It says Islamic Relief has done everything it should in keeping them informed of the Israeli allegations and its inquiry.
The UK government has suggested that they see no reason not to continue their relationship with the charity.
The Disasters Emergency Committee, which brings together 13 leading UK charities to deal with acute crises, said in a written statement that it "has considered the independent audit report which reviewed Islamic Relief's operations in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories".
It added: "We are satisfied that Islamic Relief has robust systems in place to ensure aid money is properly accounted for and spent appropriately. The DEC is not aware of any evidence that Islamic Relief has used aid funds inappropriately in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories."
Israel's shutting down of the charity in the West Bank has led to its £5m programme in that area ending. The charity say that has had an impact on the 78,000 people it had been helping.
Meanwhile, there is a wider concern among some development agencies concerning the work of other charities and NGOs in areas where proscribed groups are operating.
Workers in the field fear charities could be forced to limit their work in places like Somalia, Syria and Iraq, because of government and corporate fears that money destined for humanitarian projects in those areas could fall into the wrong hands.
Update 17 December 2014: In a statement, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said it was not possible to respond to IRW's announcement "without an in-depth examination of [the audit's] findings, its scope or who it was carried out by". It said the Israeli government's decision to declare IRW illegal was "based on information that has been accumulated over years, that the fund is a central player in financing of Hamas... [and] on accumulated knowledge and experience in fighting terror and financing of terror organisations". | More than 150 skiers have been rescued after hours trapped in cable cars in the Italian Alps, officials say.

The man and woman in the Vauxhall Corsa died at the scene of the crash, which was on the A60 Mansfield Road in Nottinghamshire.
The bus driver and three passengers were taken to hospital.
The bus and car collided at about 21:45 GMT on Wednesday, between the junctions with Forest Lane and Kighill Lane, near Ravenshead.
Nottinghamshire Police has asked for witnesses or anyone with information to contact them.
The 33-year-old, who presents on the BBC's Asian Network, will take up the position on 12 December.
In his new role, Rajan will cover stories about the media industry and their impact on business, politics and culture.
After the news was confirmed, Rajan tweeted to say he was "beyond thrilled" to have been appointed.
In addition to presenting The Big Debate on the BBC's Asian Network, Rajan has recently presented Radio 4's Start The Week and will present the station's Any Answers programme on 10 December.
James Harding, the BBC's director of news and current affairs, described Rajan as an "exceptional journalist".
"Amol has a proven record both as a story-getter and as a broadcaster, which he demonstrated repeatedly to the recruitment board," Harding said.
"At a time when traditional media across print, television, radio and advertising face unprecedented challenges, and new digital disrupters and social media platforms are acquiring immense power, it is essential we tell our audiences the story of the rapidly changing industry."
Rajan said: "I am thrilled to accept this challenge. The revolution in media is upending politics, business and culture across the globe.
"From the role of fake news in elections, to the filter bubbles created by Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and the rest, the new news is changing how we live."
He added: "It's a vast brief but I am relishing the chance to get stuck in."
Rajan, who grew up in Tooting, south London, became editor of The Independent in June 2013.
The newspaper ceased production as a daily print newspaper in March this year and became an online-only service, at which point Rajan became editor-at-large.
He has appeared on ITV's Lorraine and Channel 5's The Wright Stuff, as well as BBC news programmes including The Andrew Marr Show and Question Time.

And for as long as we were in the European Union, the UK government had no way of guaranteeing it would happen in any case.
The job prospects for young Spaniards, Poles, Italians, were arguably a bigger determinant for UK immigration than anything the UK government could do about European immigration at least.
For as long as we have freedom of movement, part of the deal of being in the EU, we can't put a limit on the numbers, nor the rest of the EU put a limit on the number of Brits who could move around the EU.
It's also worth saying that immigration from the rest of the world, on its own, has also been well over the target of "tens of thousands" - and remember, that's the bit that is easier to control. You can see the numbers here, since the Tories came into government in 2010:
Once we are out of the EU, controlling those numbers will in theory be easier. It will be the UK that decides how many people can come from around Europe, as they currently do with the rest of the world.
But while Theresa May has staunchly recommitted to the target she, as home secretary, missed for six years in a row, ministers have been also busy reassuring businesses they will be able to get the people they need, whether builders, bankers, or fruit pickers. If the economy needs them, they will be allowed to come.
That doesn't sound like a recipe for getting the numbers down to Theresa May's preferred level. And even though we are on our way out of the EU, there is still huge scepticism over whether the target is remotely achievable. So why keep it?
Sometimes in politics it's useful to ponder what would happen if they did the opposite.
Ditch the immigration target after the referendum when public concern about the levels was so obvious? Ditch it when the Tories want to pick up as many former UKIP voters as possible? Ditch it when Theresa May has spent years, with limited success, trying different ways of getting it down?
One source told me "it's just too ingrained". The political, if not the pragmatic, reasons for keeping it become clear pretty fast. Whether the target is suddenly achievable however is an entirely different debate.
The Burlington Electric Department said it had taken "immediate action to isolate" the computer, which was not connected to the electrical grid.
The government alerted them to the "Grizzly Steppe" code on Thursday.
The same day, the US expelled 35 Russian diplomats over alleged Russian interference in November's election.
Moscow has denied any involvement in the hacking of the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
On Friday, US President-elect Donald Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin for not expelling American diplomats in a tit-for-tat response.
Diplomatic spat goes undiplomatic
Can the hack be traced to Russia?
The Burlington company said it was "working with federal officials to trace this malware and prevent any other attempts to infiltrate utility systems".
It has also briefed state officials and vowed to fully support the investigation.
The statement followed a Washington Post report, citing unnamed US officials, that Russian hackers had penetrated the electrical facility, underlining the vulnerability of America's national grid.
According to the news website, US authorities were unclear why Russian hackers might have targeted the grid.
"The incursion may have been designed to disrupt the utility's operations or as a test to see whether they could penetrate a portion of the grid," it added.
Politicians in Vermont, including the Democrat Governor, Peter Shumlin, are calling for a full investigation into the incident.
"Vermonters and all Americans should be both alarmed and outraged that one of the world's leading thugs, [Russian President] Vladimir Putin, has been attempting to hack our electric grid, which we rely upon to support our quality-of-life, economy, health, and safety," he said in a statement.
Democratic congressman Peter Welch said the discovery showed "how rampant Russian hacking is".
"It's systemic, relentless, predatory," he added.
US officials believe Russia was behind the hacking of Ukraine's electrical grid in December 2015, which plunged parts of the country into darkness and left about 225,000 people without power.
Experts said it was the first known power outage caused by a cyber attack.
Mr Pieth said officials told him that they would have final say on whether to publish the panel's findings on the offshore tax evasion scandal.
Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, also resigned.
The seven-person panel was set up by Panama's government in April 2016 to improve transparency.
Speaking on the BBC's Newshour programme, Mr Pieth said he had received a letter from Panama's authorities stating that they would have the final say on whether to publish the panel's report.
"They told us they were going to decide in the end whether (the report) is going to be publicised or not," he said.
"I think that the official Panamanians were in a state of denial. They were basically saying 'well, what we've been seeing in the Panama Papers is something that you observe everywhere in the world.'"
Mr Stiglitz also told Reuters news agency he was concerned that the panel's final report would not be published.
"We can only infer that the government is facing pressure from those who are making profits from the current non-transparent financial system in Panama," he said.
In a statement, Panama's Ministry of Foreign Affairs referred to "internal differences" and said it had a "strong and real commitment to transparency and international cooperation".
The Panama Papers were investigated by hundreds of investigative journalists, including staff from the BBC.
The documents were leaked from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca and revealed how clients from around the world were able to launder money, dodge sanctions and avoid tax.
Those implicated included politicians, current and former national leaders, sports stars and celebrities.
Mossack Fonseca said it had been hacked by servers based abroad and filed a complaint with the Panamanian attorney general's office.
The company said it did not act illegally and that information was being misrepresented.
Eleven million documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca were passed to German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which then shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. BBC Panorama and UK newspaper The Guardian were among 107 media organisations in 76 countries which analysed the documents. The BBC does not know the identity of the source
Les Merton, 70, wept at Truro Crown Court as he denied abusing the girls over a 20-year period.
Asked why he had given the site his credit card details, Mr Merton said he had "naively" entered them while researching the Russian mystic.
He accepted a police caution in 2005 over the matter. The trial continues.
Mr Merton is a poet and author of The Official Encyclopaedia of the Cornish Pasty.
He has pleaded not guilty to 16 counts of indecent assault and four of indecency with a child from 1983 to 2004.
When asked by defence barrister Jo Martin, if he had sexually abused any of the women who gave evidence against him, Mr Merton, 70, of Penryn Street, Redruth, replied: "No."
Mr Merton broke down in tears in the witness box as he gave evidence relating to the time of the alleged abuse.
Ms Martin asked the defendant how he had come to enter his details on what she described as a child pornography website, which led to him accepting the police caution.
The defendant told the court he had been researching Rasputin online and had accidentally gone onto the site and "naively" entered his details.
"I didn't look at any images once I saw the thumbnail images," he said.
Cornish bards are appointed by the Cornish Gorsedh which honours people for "outstanding contributions to Cornwall and its ancient culture, history and language".

One of just three known transmissible cancers, this tumour has wiped out 80% of wild devils in the past 20 years.
Researchers looked at samples from 294 animals, in three different areas, before and after the disease arrived.
Two small sections of the devil genome appear to be changing very fast - and contain likely cancer-fighting genes.
The team, made up of US, UK and Australian scientists, described their findings in the journal Nature Communications.
They say the results offer much-needed hope that the species, which is unique to Tasmania, could survive the disease.
Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) was discovered in 1996 and kills nearly every devil it infects. Essentially a single tumour that jumps between hosts, it is transferred when the aggressive beasts bite each other's snouts.
Only two other infectious cancers are known to science. A similar tumour is shared between the genitals of dogs when they mate, and has traversed the globe since it originated 11,000 years ago; another was discovered in 2015 affecting clams on the US west coast.
Speaking to journalists in a teleconference, co-author Dr Paul Hohenlohe said he and his colleagues were in a unique position to observe the Tasmanian devil population responding to the cancer threat - because their samples spanned separate locations and reached from 1999 through to 2014.
Using the latest DNA sequencing methods, they were able to look for changes right across the devil genome.
"We characterised about 800,000 locations across the genome of each individual Tasmanian devil," said Dr Hohenlohe, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Idaho.
"Our goal is to look for genetic variants that could convey some sort of resistance… so that it may be possible to manage captive populations to ensure that that genetic variation is maintained."
Sure enough, among that wealth of data, the team found that two particular stretches of DNA were under acute selection pressure: they were changing faster than the rest of the genome, and specific gene variations were obviously on the rise - in all three populations.
Most importantly there were seven particular genes, within those favoured regions, that looked like good anti-cancer candidates. They were connected to the activity of the immune system, for example, or there was a matching gene in humans with a known link to cancer.
"Particularly, there are several that seem to be involved in directing immune cells to dysfunctional cells or pathogens, and we think those are particularly promising," said Dr Brendan Epstein from Washington State University, the paper's first author.
His colleague Dr Andrew Storfer, also from Washington State, said this was cause for optimism. Despite the devils' steep decline, several populations - including those in the study - have survived beyond the point where scientists expected them to vanish.
These findings may explain why.
"First and foremost, this gives us hope for the survival of the Tasmanian devil, which is predicted to be extinct but isn't," Dr Storfer said. "We see that the devils apparently are evolving genes that may be associated with resistance to the disease."
Particularly exciting, he said, was the speed at which these adaptations appeared to be happening.
"We're talking about roughly six generations in some populations, which is a very short period of evolutionary time."
The team is now working to characterise the specific genes in more detail. There may be things to learn that could help tackle cancer in humans - or explain where these baffling contagious cancers came from.
"One of the big questions is, what do these cancers have in common? [Then] we can figure out how cancers evolved to be transmissible in the first place," Dr Storfer said.
The tumour spreading between bivalves in the Pacific can actually jump from one species to another, he added.
"The fear is that we may see more cancers down the road that are transmissible between species."
Dr David Rollinson is a biologist at the Natural History Museum in London who specialises in the genetics of how hosts and parasites evolve together.
He said the new study was an impressive - and encouraging - example of natural selection in action.
"I find it quite exciting," Dr Rollinson told the BBC. "There's been great concern that the Tasmanian devils may be wiped out by this strange, transmissible cancer.
"And it now seems that there's just a little bit of hope - that the selection pressure is actually driving a response by the devils, so they're getting a genetic profile that might actually give them some protection."

The Scottish Human Rights Commission (SHRC) said any changes to the legal system would have a direct impact on the lives of people living in Scotland.
Its report on the future of human rights legislation said an undercurrent of debate about changing the laws was "regressive" in nature.
It called on all parties to ensure human rights laws go forward not back.
The chairman of SHRC, Prof Alan Miller, said its report set out a test for any proposals to change the UK's human rights laws.
He said: "We must not allow regressive changes to slip through, or opportunities to improve people's lives to be missed. All of us deserve better than that."
Prof Miller added: "Changes to the UK's human rights laws would have a direct impact on the lives of people in Scotland, particularly in areas like immigration, defence and some aspects of welfare."
He said there had been some notable legal successes in Scotland using human rights laws.
They included a judgement against a local authority for withdrawing provision of a carer for a disabled former ballet dancer, and challenges against the so-called "bedroom tax".
There have been a number of suggestions from politicians that human rights laws should be modified, for instance when a person has broken the law or immigration regulations.
Carer case
Elaine McDonald, a disabled former Scottish Ballet dancer, brought a case against her local authority when it stopped providing her with a night carer to help her use the toilet.
Although she lost her case on other issues, the judgement by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg established that a failure to consider a person's dignity can be a breach of Article 8, the right to a private and family life.
This has been seen as an important ruling by disabled people and organisations campaigning for their rights to be realised in practice.
Army casualties
The families of several soldiers killed in Iraq, when their vehicles were hit by roadside bombs, sued the Ministry of Defence using the HRA.
The UK Supreme Court found that the Government owed a duty of care to properly equip and train soldiers sent to war as part of its duty to protect the right to life.
Reversing this would be a backwards step in realising the rights of Scottish soldiers on operations overseas.
The Conservatives have said they were prepared to scrap the Human Rights Act (HRA) and review the UK's relationship with European courts which oversee it.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the party was also considering the "nuclear option" of withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) after the next election.
He told the Tory conference in September 2014: "Rulings to stop us deporting suspected terrorists. The suggestion that you've got to apply the convention on the battlefields of Helmand.
"And now they want to give prisoners the vote. I'm sorry I just don't agree."
He said there would be a new British bill of rights to be passed in Westminster.
But SHRC said such a move would send a damaging message across Europe and beyond, weakening the international system of human rights as a whole.
Police had to use cutting equipment after revellers barricaded themselves into the granite structure, which houses a lift shaft, on New Year's Eve.
"In an emergency it would have been impossible to get out or launch a rescue," Newcastle City Council's Nick Kemp said.

Members of the public raised the alarm at 01:50 GMT on New Year's Day and the structure was evacuated when police finally gained access.
Nitrous oxide - also known as "laughing gas" - was found inside as well as alcohol and thousands of pounds worth of sound equipment.
Up to 300 people were estimated to have been in attendance.
"I can understand the appeal of an illegal rave, but the organisers must have known they were potentially putting hundreds of people in grave danger," said Mr Kemp.
"I shudder to think what could have happened if a fire had broken out. It's extremely worrying that the doors to the tower had been secured shut from the inside.
"Alcohol and nitrous oxide were found inside the premises which would have further impaired people's ability to get out.
"There were no toilets and the electricity supply at the substation had been tampered with and could have gone off at any time plunging the whole place into darkness.
"I wonder how many people actually knew they were locked inside with no means of an escape."
It is believed lights and the sound equipment were smuggled in some time on Saturday.

Sharing E Umbrella had left 300,000 brollies in public places in 11 cities, including Shanghai and Nanjing.
Customers pay a 19-yuan (£2.15) deposit to unlock the umbrellas after scanning a code with their smartphone.
Every half hour of use costs a further half yuan, though users must top up in order to keep being charged.
Each brolly costs the firm 60 yuan to replace, but it is undeterred - 30 million new umbrellas will be introduced to the scheme, it has said.
Sharing E Umbrella was launched in April and the initial supply of umbrellas had been distributed to public places, such as railings next to bus and train stations.
The umbrellas were probably taken home by people, suggested the firm's founder Zhao Shuping in an interview with Chinese website, the Paper.
He added that Sharing E Umbrella plans to rely mainly on profits from adverts, some of which may be printed on the umbrellas themselves.
"Umbrellas in China are generally quite cheap," said Kerry Allen, a China analyst with BBC Monitoring.
She pointed out that the ones distributed by Sharing E Umbrella would have stood out.
"They were pretty fancy, you could tell the quality was good - the ones you usually get at subway stations tend to be small and very simple."
James Allan, 31, shot Craig Burns, 26, and 27-year-old James McSorley with a sawn-off shotgun as they walked in a lane in Hamilton on 27 June.
Mr Burns lost an eye while Mr McSorley had gun pellets lodged in his brain. The attack was blamed on a feud between Allan's friends and Mr McSorley.
Sentence on Allan was deferred and he was remanded in custody.
The High Court in Glasgow heard that the shooting happened at about 14:30.
Mr Burns described hearing a voice before collapsing to the ground after being struck in the face.
Mr McSorley described hearing "a loud bang" then feeling a pain in the back of his head.
The injured men initially fled to a friend's home before Mr Burns was driven to hospital.
He was found to have serious facial injuries and lost an eye.
Police later found Mr McSorley still at the house he had gone to after the shooting.
He was also taken to hospital having suffered wounds to his face, head and shoulder.
It was discovered he had gunshot pellets in his brain "very close" to major blood vessels.
However, doctors decided no surgery was required and he left hospital on 5 July.
Police later recovered a sawn-off shotgun and a balaclava from a bin and DNA tests linked Allan to both items.
The court was told that the attack was apparently sparked by a feud between Allan's friends and Mr McSorley.
It was also claimed that Allan carried out the shooting after jibes were made about someone close to him being sexually assaulted.
Allan is due to be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on 1 February.
Relatives of those Police Service of Northern Ireland officers killed or injured on duty attended the ceremony at the PSNI's Belfast headquarters.
The Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall laid a wreath in honour of the dead and held brief talks with NI Chief Constable George Hamilton.
The royal couple have now left NI for a visit to the Republic of Ireland.
They are meeting President Michael D Higgins, and are expected to meet Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny, as well as visiting Kilkenny Castle.
The couple are also expected to attend ceremonies at Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin to commemorate those who lost their lives in the World War One and during the Easter Rising.
Their visit to the Republic is at the request of the British government.
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall last visited Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland last May.
The PSNI memorial garden pays tribute to the 13 officers who have died in service since the force was founded in 2001; their names are recorded in a book of remembrance.
The new garden adjoins a memorial garden to the 300 officers from the PSNI's predecessor, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, who were killed during the Troubles.
Speaking at the opening ceremony on Wednesday, Mr Hamilton said it was a very special, but also sad, day for the families and the police service as they remembered those who had died.
"This is a fitting tribute to our colleagues who have died in the course of their service and will ensure that their dedication to duty and sacrifice is never forgotten," he said.
"The visit was also an opportunity for HRH Prince of Wales and HRH Duchess of Cornwall to meet personally with the family members of those who had died and lay a wreath and flowers in their memory."
The Duchess of Cornwall was presented with a posy of flowers by seven-year-old Victoria Grieves whose father Constable Gary Grieves died in a road traffic collision as he was travelling home from duty in August 2010.
The Royal couple's trip began on Tuesday with a visit to the Seamus Heaney Homeplace Centre in Bellaghy, where they met members of the poet's family.
They then met staff and patients at the North West Cancer Centre at Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry, before attending a musical gathering at Hillsborough Castle in County Down.
Massimo Donati shot Accies in front, while a strike from Alex D'Acol was well saved by County's Scott Fox.
The home side had Giannis Skondras dismissed on half time for a foul on the counter-attacking Ryan Dow.
Michael Gardyne, Dow and Martin Woods went close for the visitors before Craig Curran bundled in the leveller.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The point is enough to lift Hamilton above local rivals Motherwell into 10th spot on goal difference, while County remain eighth.
Donati came back into Hamilton's starting eleven as a replacement for the suspended Darian MacKinnon, and it only took three minutes for the Italian to once again show his worth to Accies.
The 36-year-old is well known for his two-year spell at Celtic but his pedigree is backed up further by looking at the list of teams he's played for in his homeland - AC Milan, Parma, Torino and Sampdoria all feature.
That schooling was evident in the way he turned the relatively harmless lay-off from Skondras into a guided, curling shot that found its destination in the top left corner from 20 yards.
Accies had already had an D'Acol poked effort cleared off the line and the same player then drew a fine save from Scott with a thumping shot from the edge of the penalty area.
The hosts were not flawless though and there were a couple of occasions in the first half when Jim McIntyre's men felt they should have levelled. Tim Chow lifted over from close-range and Gardyne watched his rifled shot go narrowly wide of the post.
Seconds before the interval the visitors were handed a boost when Skondras received a straight red card from referee Steven McLean for a lunging foul on Dow, who was charging at pace into the opposition half.
While it looked a clear free-kick, most inside New Douglas Park were expecting a yellow card at most flashed in the direction of the Greek, so when the red was shown there was uproar from the home fans.
It is the second match in the space of four days that Accies have had a man dismissed. MacKinnon walked on Wednesday for making a gesture to fans that boss Martin Canning could have no argument about, but he looked very aggrieved at this decision.
Dow had already cracked the crossbar with a wonderful effort before Accies' attacking threat of Ali Crawford and Rakish Bingham were sacrificed for the more defensive Blair Adams and Alex Gogic.
The latter had hardly been on the pitch when County's corner was not cleared and Curran dispatched his seventh goal of the season in at the near post from eight yards. It wasn't pretty but it was very important for the visitors.
Despite the numerical advantage, Ross County failed to fashion a way to take all three points - Woods' free-kick coming closest but Remi Matthews stuck out an impressive hand to push that effort over.
Accies might even have snatched it if Gogic had been more composed at the end of a stoppage-time counter-attack. The Cypriot received the ball from Dougie Imrie but fired over when well placed just inside the box.
Hamilton holding on backs up once more how reliable their home form has been recently. Accies have not lost at New Douglas Park since Christmas Eve and seven games at home have come and gone since then.
They will wonder, though, what might have been if they had kept all 11 players on the field.

The Runnymede Eco-Village is two miles from where the Queen will attend celebrations in June.
Bailiffs posted notices at the site on 30 March ordering the squatters to leave or face court proceedings.
However, following a hearing the case has been adjourned until some point in June.
Guildford County Court does not yet have a date for the next hearing.
The site is owned by developers Orchid Runnymede and is next to the Magna Carta site owned by the National Trust.
Orchid Runnymede has said the squatters are illegally on the land, which is about to become a construction site for housing.
Edinburgh International Airport said 12.4 million passengers flew through the capital last year - an increase of more than 11% on 2015.
And Glasgow said 9.4 million passengers travelled through its doors, an increase of 7.5% in its 50th anniversary year.
Aberdeen reported a 12.2% decrease in the number of passengers.
However, the airport said there were signs the downturn that has hit the north-east economy was beginning to slow, with 230,000 passengers travelling through Aberdeen in December 2015
A total of 3.1m travellers used Aberdeen International Airport during the course of 2016.
Edinburgh Airport said its record-breaking figures reinforced the airport's position as the "fastest growing" in the UK, with the increase down to the new international routes launched in 2016.
New services to Rome, Paris, Helsinki, Reykjavik and Warsaw have been added over the past 12 months.
December 2016 saw 863,147 people pass through the airport - a big increase on the same period in 2105.
Chief Executive Gordon Dewar said it was a "great achievement" for the airport.
"We have continued to enhance passenger choice by offering more routes and more destinations - and people have responded by choosing to fly in and out of Edinburgh Airport in greater numbers than ever before," he said.
"To have smashed this record - exceeding last year's growth rate and having helped over 12.36 million passengers through the airport - highlights the draw of Edinburgh as a destination and the growing global appeal that Scotland holds."
Glasgow Airport said it had seen a 9.2% increase in international traffic and a 5.5% increase in domestic numbers, which it put down to the introduction of 25 new routes and services in 2016.
The airport has created new links to Marseille, Sofia and Brussels, as well as adding a direct service to Toronto in Canada and extra flights to Orlando in the US.
It also launched Scotland's first direct link with South Korea.
Amanda McMillan, managing director of Glasgow Airport, said: "2016 was an unforgettable year with so many highlights. To record our best-ever passenger numbers month after month and to carry 9.4 million passengers was a huge accomplishment and to do it in our Golden Anniversary was extra special.
"It was also particularly pleasing that we were able to considerably increase our connectivity across Europe and this is set to continue in 2017 with the launch of six new routes to Munich, Bergen, Lisbon, Valencia, Palanga in Lithuania and Zadar in Croatia."
Carol Benzie, managing director of Aberdeen International Airport, said: "As expected, 2016 proved to be challenging, however, we did see a significant slowing of the decline in our numbers during the latter part of the year.
"The decrease in November's and December's figures were the smallest we had experienced in 2016 which suggest we have come through the worst of the downturn."
Ms Benzie added that the airport had started 2017 on a "much stronger footing" with Ryanair and airBaltic services returning and new Flybe direct flights to London Heathrow coming in March.
All three airports urged the Scottish government to make "swift and substantial" cuts to airport passenger duty (APD).
Ministers want to replace APD, but a consultation on the proposal last year was met with a mixed response.
RSPCA Cymru said it received 290 reports of animals in hot places, like cars, vans and conservatories, between January and June this year.
But 133 reports were made last month alone - accounting for 46% of calls.
The charity stressed leaving animals in hot environments could have "disastrous consequences".
According to RSPCA Cymru, the figures suggest the charity receives more than one call on the issue every five and a half hours in Wales.
Supt Martyn Hubbard said: "Put simply, there are fatal dangers of leaving animals in unsuitable environments, like dogs in warm cars.
"Temperatures can soar quickly in a car, caravan, conservatory or outbuilding. If it's 22C outside, within an hour the temperature can reach 47C inside, which can have disastrous consequences for animals."
A peak of reports of animals struggling over July "seems very possible", he added.
Paul MacMillan, 38, is accused of causing serious injury to the 29-year-old officer in East Kilbride on Wednesday night.
MacMillan, from Larkhall, was arrested after the incident in Ness Drive near the John Wright Sports Centre.
He appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court charged with road and drugs offences.
He made no plea or declaration and was released on bail.
He will appear in court at a later date.
Fans in the UK are currently limited to audio commentary by rights issues, but Championship, League One and Two matches will be available to watch abroad from August.
The digital platform, called iFollow, will cost £110 for full access.
Currently, 61 of 72 EFL clubs have signed up to the EFL Digital platform.
However, the EFL says that 11 clubs still have the provision to offer the streaming through their own digital providers including Aston Villa, Bristol City, Queens Park Rangers and Accrington Stanley.
Streaming packages in other sports have given fans the opportunity to follow their teams from afar, particularly in the United States.
The North American-based National Football League, National Hockey League and National Basketball League governing bodies have web-based streaming packages, while in Australia, rugby league and Australian Rules followers can subscribe to NRL and AFL streaming.
"The new iFollow platform represents a potentially significant new revenue stream for clubs," EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said. "While enabling enhanced engagement with existing fans now living abroad.
"iFollow will also present the EFL with an important opportunity to stimulate the interest of new groups of supporters who follow our clubs overseas, which in turn will help support the growth of our competitions on the international stage."
Luxembourg's Jungels, 23, took the lead from Etixx-Quick Step team-mate Gianluca Brambilla, with the Italian dropping to sixth overall.
Bardiani Valvole rider Ciccone finished 42 seconds ahead of Tinkoff's Ivan Rovny on the mountainous 136-mile ride from Campi Bisenzio to Sestola.
"Today I'm living the most beautiful day of my life," said Ciccone.
The 21-year-old, who only turned professional this year, added: "It doesn't feel real. It's like being in a bubble."
Team Sky's Mikel Landa began the day one minute and 18 seconds off the lead, but illness prevented him finishing the 10th stage.
"It was pretty clear that the illness had badly affected him and that he wasn't going to be able to continue," said team manager Sir Dave Brailsford.
Trek Segafredo's Fabian Cancellara, who was ill just before the start of the Giro, also pulled out before the start of the stage, as did Team Katusha's Alexey Tsatevich.
The 11th stage on Wednesday is the mainly flat 141-mile route from Modena to Asolo.
Stage 10 result:
1. Giulio Ciccone (Ita/Bardiani Valvole) Five hrs 44mins 32secs

The first estimate from Eurostat marks a slight slowdown from the 0.4% registered in the first quarter.
The statistics agency also announced that inflation in the eurozone was 0.2% in July, unchanged from June's figure.
Earlier, it was announced that France's economy did not grow at all between April and June.
But growth in the first three months of the year was revised up from 0.6% to 0.7%, the statistics office Insee said.
The German economy grew 0.4%, up from 0.3% in the first quarter. Italy's economy grew 0.2%, slowing from 0.3% the previous quarter.
In the wider 28-member EU, GDP grew 0.4%, which was unchanged from the previous quarter, while inflation was 0.1% in July, unchanged from June.
Eleven member states reported deflation in the month, with Cyprus recording the biggest drop at -2.4%. Malta reported the most inflation at 1.2%.
French finance minister Michel Sapin said his country's economy was still on track to reach the government's forecast of 1% growth for the year.
He highlighted strong exports, which grew 1.7% in the quarter, having grown 1.3% in the previous quarter.
Growth in consumption by households slowed sharply from 0.9% to 0.1%, while production of goods and services contracted slightly.
Exports also grew strongly in Germany, helped by the weaker euro.
Finland's economy recorded a second quarter of contraction, down 0.4% having recorded negative growth of 0.1% in the first quarter.
On Thursday, preliminary figures from Greece suggested its economy grew a considerably better-than-expected 0.8% in the second quarter, while the first quarter's figure was revised from a 0.2% contraction to zero growth.
Welterweight Kelly outpointed Aaron Prince (Trinidad & Tobago) and light welterweight McCormack won a unanimous decision over Hassan Amsile (France).
It means GB have qualified a fighter in each of the 10 men's divisions for Rio.
That rules out any professional boxer fighting for Britain at the Games.
The team will be made up of 10 men and two women and is the first time in recent Games history that Great Britain has qualified a man in every available weight class.
The wins ensured Kelly and McCormack, who are both from the north east of England, met the qualification standard by guaranteeing a place in the top five in Baku.
"It's an unreal feeling," McCormack said. "I was frustrated not to do it in Turkey at the first qualifier but always had faith in my ability and this time I made sure."
Kelly added: "I have had a few injury problems over the last year and there were times when the Olympics looked a long way off, so to know that I will be on that plane to Rio with the rest of the team is just brilliant."
The full team of boxers that will compete for Great Britain in Rio is:

Justice Ginsburg said she regretted her remarks and they were "ill-advised".
"Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect," she said in a statement.
The liberal judge, 83, came under fire after she called Mr Trump a "faker" in an interview with CNN.
"He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego," she told CNN.
On Wednesday, Mr Trump called on the top judge to retire after making "very dumb political statements" about him.
Justice Ginsburg also recently told the New York Times she could not imagine a Trump presidency, joking that she would move to New Zealand if he should win in November.
"I can't imagine what this place would be - I can't imagine what the country would be - with Donald Trump as our president," she said.
Mr Trump hit back, telling the New York Times her comments were "highly inappropriate" and a "disgrace to the court".
Critics on both the right and left said Justice Ginsburg may have risked her legacy to insult Mr Trump and could undermine the credibility of the Supreme Court.
Mr Trump, who has never held political office, pulled off a stunning win in the primary contests by beating 16 other Republicans, including seasoned governors, senators and congressmen.
He is expected to unveil his running mate on Friday and next week he will be formally named as the Republican nominee at the party's annual convention in Cleveland.
All UK combat operations are due to finish by the end of 2014, with responsibility transferred to Afghan forces.
It's still unclear as to what they'll have achieved, but one thing is certain - they leave much better equipped than when they first arrived.
At a British military base, just outside Kabul, Staff Sgt Nick Brown, of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, shows me the improvements made to his personal weapon.
The standard issue rifle, the SA80, has not always been a soldier's best friend.
There were problems with the early models jamming when fired or simply falling apart.
But Staff Sgt Brown says it has been "transformed".
He points to the new grips for close quarter combat, the flash eliminator on the barrel to avoid being seen by the enemy, the laser light module to help target and fire in the dark, and even a window built into the magazine to count the rounds left.
Back in Bristol, at the Ministry of Defence's (MoD) Equipment and Support, teams have been working hard throughout the conflict to improve personal kit.
Soldiers now have a new set of multi-terrain camouflage, suitable for both desert and Helmand's "green zone".
Whereas once they may have felt they would be better off buying their own boots, now there is a wide selection.
And most importantly there is much better body armour, from the Osprey Jacket to the nappy that gives them ballistic protection round the groin.
But it's not come cheap. More than ??6bn has been spent on what is called Urgent Operations Requirements, or UORs.
That's money in addition to the MoD's annual budget of around ??34bn. And mistakes have been made.
Take armoured vehicles. It has taken the MoD the best part of a decade to equip the military with the new Foxhound patrol vehicle.
Troops went into Iraq with the totally inadequate Snatch Land Rover, dubbed the "mobile coffin".
That was then replaced with the Vector, but it too proved to be vulnerable to the roadside bomb.
Richard North, author of Ministry of Defeat, has been highly critical of the decision-making process within the MoD.
He says while soldiers have been fighting real battles, senior officers and officials have been fighting pointless ones over kit.
In then end, he says the British Army will be left "with a junkyard of different vehicles which will become a nightmare in terms of logistics and maintenance".
The experience of the US military highlights the problem.
They bought more than 25,000 mine protected vehicles (MRAPs) for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but will be keeping only about a third of that fleet.
They will also have to spend around ??1bn on modifying and maintaining the vehicles they retain.
And it is not just vehicles. One UOR during Afghanistan was for 6,000 Sig Sauer pistols.
The MoD won't say how much that cost, possibly because of the embarrassment of then ditching the Sig Sauer in favour of the Glock pistol instead.
After extensive testing, the MoD opted to replace all its ageing Browning pistols with the Glock in a contract worth ??9m.
Maj Richard Streatfield, who served in Helmand with the Rifles, says the purchase of the Sig is an example of waste.
"What we've been having," he says, "is the military equivalent of a fast-food diet".
He believes the splurge of spending through UORs has shown the British Army has been missing long-term capital investment.
After Afghanistan, he says, it needs to "get back to a more sustainable, balanced diet".
But Maj Gen Richard Semple denies that public money has been wasted.
As the head of the Army's Logistics and Support, he insists that most of the kit bought back from Afghanistan will be used.
"The vast majority we will keep," he said.
"Some we will not because it's worn out or because the threat may have moved on."
But he won't say, for example, how many vehicles will be scrapped.
As for the pistol, he says the Sig has already served a function in Afghanistan and at least some of the money spent "may well be recovered when they're disposed of".
David Cameron recently stated that Britain now has some of the best trained and equipped soldiers in the world.
Few would disagree. Members of the armed forces and their families now have little reason to spend their own money on equipment.
Nor do they need to beg, borrow and steal from the Americans.
But these advances have not come cheap.
And it has not just cost money. Lives have been lost because of inadequate kit.
There is a military maxim: "Train as you mean to fight".
It's taken a long time - more than a decade - to get there.
Manager Mark McGhee was "horrified" to be sent to the stand during the 7-2 defeat by Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
And assistant boss McFadden said McGhee wanted to know why the fourth official John McKendrick dismissed him.
"I think he took offence to being told he was being sent off and not being given a reason," said McFadden.
McGhee was ordered off by referee Alan Muir after clashing with McKendrick during Wednesday's loss.
Speaking afterwards, McGhee said he was "absolutely disgusted and horrified by the attitude of the fourth official" and wanted clarity.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Asked if he would be speaking to the SFA's head of referees, John Fleming, McGhee said: "John Fleming? I'll be speaking to a lawyer. I can only think there is an agenda."
Speaking on Friday, McFadden described McGhee as "a grown man and vastly experienced".
"And I think, when you feel as though there's something that's gone against you, you're not going to be happy about it," added McFadden.
"As far as I was concerned, there was no issue in terms of the manager being sent off. I don't know why he was sent off and we [Motherwell] weren't told why he was sent off."
McGhee, who has already been in trouble with the SFA this season, is facing potential further sanctions.
He has already served a two-match touchline ban, with one match suspended, after being found guilty of abusing a steward and officials during a match against Dundee this season.
The SFA's compliance officer will now look at his latest incident and another ban is likely to follow, but McFadden insists the club just want consistency.
"We are still waiting to speak to the head of referees about some of the recent red cards we have received," he said.
"We have initiated that and just want to iron out some of the issues that seem cloudy and hopefully take it from there."
His next is likely to come in front of fewer than 500 people against a side like Chinnor, Redruth or Bishops Stortford.
The 22-year-old is the latest man to cross rugby's great divide and swap league for union.
And, while the new Exeter Chiefs centre is hoping to make a splash in the Premiership, he is starting out more humbly on loan at Taunton in National Two South, the fourth tier of English club rugby.
"I just want to play rugby and show what I can do on a rugby union field," the 2014 Grand Final winner from Lancashire told BBC Sport.
"You're still going to get blokes running at you and you're still going to try to run through blokes.
"As a professional rugby player you've just got to block out everything else. You just want to be playing rugby, and if I have to start at Taunton, that's just what I've got to do."
Jones is Exeter's first foray into the world of cross-code converts. But with the recent press surrounding Sam Burgess' inclusion in England's World Cup side, Exeter are ensuring that Jones learns the game before being thrown in at the deep end.
"The best thing about Josh is he's got a fantastic attitude and a fantastic desire to work extremely hard and learn everything there is about rugby union," said Exeter head coach Rob Baxter.
"We sat down and told him 'We're going to try to get you to clubs where we think you'll play, clubs that want you, where they want to get you on the field and they want to help you.'
"A club like Taunton's ideal because we know the coaching staff there and they're good guys and they'll definitely help him develop as a rugby player.
"We've got to appreciate that it's not an overnight process. The games of rugby league and rugby union are very different.
"What we'd like to see him do is progress through the levels of rugby union where he's comfortable and he gets the maximum opportunities to learn about rugby union week in, week out."
So what tips has Jones been given about crossing codes? As a youngster he played alongside George Ford, and the England fly-half has given him some advice for the 15-man game.
"He told me to take everything basic, listen to your coaches and everything will be all right," added Jones.
"My team-mates laughed at me because they're not big fans of rugby union but, to be fair, I watch it all the time. I'm a big fan, I like watching Sale back up north and I love watching international rugby.
"I'm still young, so why not give it a crack? I like the way Exeter play their rugby, so there's no better place to come than here."
The list of players who have played both codes and thrived is a long one. But will Jones turn out like Chris Ashton or Jason Robinson and have an illustrious career, or will be be more like Leeds Rhinos' Lee Smith or Catalans Dragons' Setaimata Sa and hardly feature after crossing to union?
"I know for a fact he'll work as hard as he can to make it happen," said Baxter.
"Because of that we want to work as hard as we can to help him.
"I've never worked with a guy straight out of rugby league, but I think if anyone's going to help a player be the best he's going to be then the coaching staff here are going to make that happen."
The four-year deal gives the BBC live network coverage of the Sunday events, including the live show-jumping finale.
It will also have Red Button output of the Saturday's Cross Country events .
Barbara Slater, Director of BBC Sport, said: "With Rio 2016 just around the corner, there's no better time to reinforce our commitment to one of the most treasured Olympics sports."
Hugh Thomas, Director of Badminton Horse Trials, said: "This is the 60th anniversary of the BBC covering Badminton, and I am delighted that that they have confirmed four more years."
The 2016 Badminton Horse Trials take place from 4 May to 8 May.
Previously-bagged flour was left strewn across the southbound carriageway in a collision between a lorry and a car towing a caravan at about 04:30 BST.
One lane remains closed between junctions 14 and 15 in Gloucestershire amid a clean-up operation.
Highways England said work to clear the flour, debris and fuel spillage will be completed overnight.
Avon and Somerset Police said there were no reports of serious injury.
Jack Tappin, from Highways England, said the articulated lorry "ended on its side in lanes one and two" following the collision, damaging a safety barrier,
Motorists have been advised that one lane will remain closed between junction 14 and junction 15 overnight.
The 25-year-old former Chelsea player has signed a five-year deal at the Westfalenstadion.
"He has extensive international experience and his quality will be very valuable for our team," Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc said.
The signing comes a day after Dortmund re-signed forward Mario Gotze.
Schurrle has scored 48 goals in 174 Bundesliga games and has 20 goals in 55 games for his country. He was part of the squad that reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016, where they lost to France.
He joined Wolfsburg from Chelsea in February 2015 for £22m.

Thousands have signed a petition calling for lifeguards on Camber Sands in East Sussex during the summer.
A 19-year-old man died while swimming at the beach in July. A further five people on a day trip to the area died in August.
Rother District Council said it was looking at "all the options" as part of its review.
Vasanth Koneswaran, whose cousin Kurushanth Srithavarajah was one of the casualties in August, said: "If there were lifeguards there they could have been saved.
"I'm angry. They were all the friends I really had."
A council spokesman said a decision on whether to provide a lifeguard service was yet to be made.
"In light of recent tragic events and the changing profile of visitors to the beach, we are in the process of reviewing and considering all options for next year."
A temporary lifeguard team provided by the RNLI has been in place at Camber Sands since August. It will be in place for the rest of the summer season, handing out safety information to beach-goers.
An RNLI spokesman said: "We have been talking to Rother District Council but no lifeguard service has been agreed for 2017."
Five men from south-east London died on 24 August:
Brazilian Gustavo Silva Da Cruz, 19, died on 24 July
However, the NHS Blood and Transplant report showed a rise in the number waiting for an organ transplant.
The figures from 2014 also showed the overall consent rate had fallen.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford said 12 people in Wales died last year waiting for donations, adding the donation rate needed to increase.
Donation statistics from 2014-15 showed:
However, the report noted the numbers involved in donation in Wales were small, so modest fluctuations appeared to show considerable changes compared to previous years.
Factors such as the referral of potential donors and families being approached about donation played a part, it said.
Mr Drakeford said nine of out 10 people in Wales supported organ donation, but only three in 10 had signed up to the organ donation register.
He added: "In the last year, 12 people in Wales died while waiting for a transplant. I want to encourage everyone in Wales to talk about organ donation so we can ensure that fewer people die while waiting for an organ.
"I want to encourage a culture change in Wales, so that talking about organ donation is normal and that families discuss donation and are confident they know their loved ones' wishes."
The assembly voted to bring in a system of presumed consent two years ago, where the assumption will be that people are willing to donate unless they actively opt out of the process.
The Act will become law in December.
The men were questioned for several hours about the Bucharest blaze, which started when fireworks were set off by a band performing at the venue.
Witnesses and Romanian media have queried safety standards at the club.
They are concerned about the lack of an emergency exit and the use of flammable material to soundproof the building.
The three arrested men, aged between 28 and 36, were questioned for several hours on Monday about the fire, the AFP news agency reported. It said one of those being held is a barman with shares in several clubs.
None of those arrested has made any comment.
The club is suspected of not being authorised to hold concerts or to stage pyrotechnic displays, Interior Ministry Secretary of State Raed Arafat is quoted as saying. Prosecutors are also inquiring into who should have insured the premises.
The trio - named as Costin Mincu, Alin George Anastasescu and Paul Gancea - are accused of allowing the club to be overcrowded and of not taking sufficient steps to ensure it had enough emergency exits.
In a separate development the owners of three other night clubs admitted they had recklessly failed to uphold safety standards, the AP news agency reported.
It said that all three have apologised for their actions, with one confessing that he had put thousands of lives in danger and another conceding he had been "ignorant and irresponsible".
Friday's fire broke out at about 23:00 (21:00 GMT) at the Colectiv club, which was hosting a free rock concert by the band Goodbye to Gravity. Up to 400 people are thought to have been inside.
Survivors say the fireworks caused the ceiling and a pillar to catch fire and produce heavy smoke. | Two people have died and four people have been injured after a car and a bus collided.

The National Farmers' Union (NFU) Cymru said patience was now "running thin".
Payments from the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) agricultural fund for 'protecting and enhancing the countryside' have been delayed by up to five months.
The Welsh Government insisted 95% of eligible farmers had been paid, but Conwy farmer Llyr Jones said he was "disgusted".
He said he had to take out a bank loan to make up for the loss of income, and had been given no explanation for the delay.
"It has been a strain. I've had to increase my overdraft in order to be able to carry on with my business," he said.
"My situation hasn't changed - I haven't changed the size of my farm and I haven't bought any more land."
Some cross-border farmers have faced delays as a result of the failure of English paying agencies to share data.
Stephen James, NFU Cymru President, said many farmers were now entering the 2016 application period before receiving their 2015 payment.
"This is unacceptable. For those not paid, Welsh Government will now have had the 2015 application form for nearly 11 months. Surely this is long enough to validate an application form?
"Farmers are struggling following a difficult winter, costs have mounted as a result of record rainfall and commodity prices remain depressed, meaning cash flow is a major issue on all farms."
Payments from the Glastir sustainable land management scheme have also been delayed by up to six months.
"Many farmers who will have changed farming practices and altered stocking levels in order to enter Glastir are now, in effect, being penalised as a result of a failure of Welsh Government delivery," Mr James said.
"We look to Welsh Government to bring this long-running saga to a swift conclusion."
A Welsh Government spokesman said it could not discuss individual cases, but said the vast majority of eligible Welsh farmers had received the first part of the payment.
"We have now made substantial part-payments to 95% of eligible farm businesses in Wales," the spokesman said.
"Approximately half those farmers still awaiting their part-payment have land in England. Although we are sharing our data with the rural payments agency (RPA) in England, we are unable to pay those specific cross-border cases until the RPA provide us with the information we require." | Hundreds of farmers are facing long delays on payments owed to them by the Welsh Government, it has been claimed. | 35,959,876 | 522 | 25 | false |
Posters were put up around Knettishall Heath in Suffolk on 1 April, claiming work was ongoing to reintroduce wolves.
Suffolk Wildlife Trust said it had received messages of concern "amid continuing coverage" on spoof sites.
"Just to be clear, there are no plans to introduce wolves anywhere in Suffolk," a park ranger said.
It is not known who was behind the hoax.

The realistic-looking signs, which advised visitors to carry flare guns and not to enter the heath after dark, were removed by rangers as soon as they were spotted.
The hoax claimed the wildlife trust was working in partnership with the UK Wolf Conservation Trust to reintroduce a pack of wolves to the site by the end of the month.
Ranger Sam Norris said the heath was an "ancient place" which the trust was "delighted" to be restoring "to the kind of wild landscape that our Bronze Age ancestors would have recognised".
"However, I can categorically say that this definitely does not involve re-introducing wolves," she added.
Knettishall Heath, near the border with Norfolk, is made up of heath, grassland and woodland, and the trust said it was "clearly not a suitable place in which to re-introduce what was one of the UK's biggest apex predators" because of its proximity to human populations. | A wildlife trust has reassured visitors there are no plans to bring wolves back to the area after an April Fool's joke refused to disappear. | 39,588,593 | 327 | 32 | false |
The bus veered off a mountain road in the Rasuwa district, about 80km (50 miles) north of the capital, Kathmandu.
It was travelling from Kathmandu to the village of Chilime when it fell 150m down a slope. The cause of the accident is unclear. The injured have been taken to hospitals.
Chief District Officer Shiva Ram Gelal said the bus was overcrowded, with passengers riding on the roof.
The BBC's Phanindra Dahal in Kathmandu says overcrowding has worsened in Nepal because few buses are available as a result of fuel shortages.

According to the Skye Boat Song, Bonnie Prince Charlie's boat sped over the sea to the island "like a bird on the wing".
As you cross the Skye Bridge these days the chances of flying swiftly over the crossing are small to vanishing.
Crawling is more like it, behind a queue of caravans, motor homes and cars, packed with kids and luggage.
Skye is bursting at the seams. So much so that Police Scotland has advised visitors to use "common sense" before travelling to the island for an overnight stay without booking accommodation.
They said people regularly arrived at the police station with nowhere to stay asking for advice, but unless they planned ahead they could end up spending the night in their car.
The attraction of the island, which sits off Scotland's north-west coast, is obvious.
It is dominated by the magnificent Cuillin mountain range whose rocky slopes provide some of the most dramatic scenery in Britain.
Then you throw in a stunning combination of sea lochs, rivers, pools and scenic harbour towns, just to complete the mix, and it is little wonder that Skye is so popular.
But it is widely accepted that the island's infrastructure is under increasing pressure from drive-through tourism.
Some of Skye's most stunning locations are victims of their own success, suffering increasing amounts of road and path erosion.
I went to Glen Brittle, the entrance to the Fairy Pools, one of the most picturesque picnic sites in the UK.
It was absolutely packed with people. Cars were parked all the way along the side of the single-track road.
Many vehicles were up on the grass verges, with some becoming stuck and having to be pushed out.
The road was almost blocked and campervans struggled to get through.
From the cars there was an almost constant stream of people heading into the site.
American tourists Scott and Susan Littlefield, from Washington State, told me Skye was "amazing".
Scott said: "It's something you don't see anywhere else."
However, Scottish tourist Claire Anderson warned: "It has been lovely and everything is very beautiful but there are so many tourists and there is not the infrastructure to deal with that.
"Unless they manage it in some way I fear that the prettiness is going to get damaged by all of us trudging through."
Skye has always been popular but its international profile has been raised by a number of blockbuster films which have used its unique beauty as a backdrop.
Most recently King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and Transformers: The Last Knight both used the island, as well as pop star Harry Styles in the video for his single Sign of the Times.
The Quiraing has long been a popular destination for hillwalkers.
Roger Booth, who has a snack van on the Quairang, told me he was worried the traditional walkers could be put off by the number of people now visiting.
He says: "People come to where the films were made, jump out of their car or coach, take a quick picture and are gone again.
"There is nothing coming into the island economy from some of these big companies."
Mr Booth says the number of tourists was causing problems.
"It has changed probably tenfold the number of tourists," he says.
"It has increased to the point where any journey, if we go to Portree for stock in the morning we have to leave at 8am because we know any later the road is going to be absolutely gridlocked."
It is clear that the pressure is growing and some people on the island think that there needs to be solutions.
Shirley Spear, who runs the renowned Three Chimneys restaurants, is setting up an organisation that will pitch for government grants to improve the island's infrastructure.
She says: "We have successfully driven tourism as an industry forward into the modern world.
"It is very successful in Scotland and it is huge economic driver but we need more support.
"I believe there should be a special fund to help bring the infrastructure into line with expectation of our many visitors from many countries around the world."
Another suggestion to tackle the issue is a "tourism tax" or even making the island a national park.
The Scottish government is not in favour of a tourism tax but it says it is open to discussion about these issues.
Brexit and the low value of the pound seem likely to bring more visitors to Skye.
People like Shirley Spear believe some way will have to be found to make tourism more sustainable otherwise there could be long-term damage to Skye's unique beauty.
The 26-strong team will represent Great Britain at the London Aquatics Centre in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
"This event comes at a perfect time," said British Swimming national performance director Chris Spice.
"A major international event at an iconic 2012 Olympic venue - as a team we couldn't have asked for better."
The swimming programme of the European Aquatics Championships runs from 16-22 May, with the diving events held a week earlier, beginning on 9 May.
The team includes world champions Adam Peaty and James Guy, plus individual world medallists Jazz Carlin and Siobhan-Marie O'Connor among other world, European and Commonwealth medallists.
"This event also provides a wonderful opportunity for the British public to see and support our swimming stars in home waters once again," Spice added.
A 12-strong British team has been selected to compete in the synchronised swimming competition from 9-13 May.
Olympians Olivia Federici and Katie Clark will lead the team as they compete in the duet, which is the event they have secured a quota place for at Rio 2016.
The home affairs select committee said, given the inquiry's task, it should have treated the issue with "rigour".
A woman on the inquiry team alleged she was groped in a lift at its offices.
Inquiry chair Prof Alexis Jay, the fourth person to lead the inquiry, apologised for any unnecessary anxiety caused to victims or survivors.
The troubled inquiry, launched by Theresa May when she was home secretary, has seen the departure of three chairs as well as its most senior and second-ranking counsel.
In the latest setback, one of the largest victims' groups involved withdrew from the inquiry, calling it an "unpalatable circus".
The move prompted calls for Prof Jay, who has the government's backing, to be replaced.
Ben Emmerson QC, the most senior lawyer at the inquiry, resigned in September.
The BBC's Newsnight programme has previously reported that the inquiry was told in September of a claim that Mr Emmerson had assaulted a woman working at its offices in a lift - a claim he has strenuously denied.
The alleged victim did not want the incident investigated.
In its report, the committee said it made no judgement on the claim, and suggested an external person could be appointed to examine the matter.
"We are not in a position, and it is certainly not our responsibility, to assess either the facts of the case or the details of the processes that the inquiry pursued," the report said.
"However, we do not believe that IICSA [the inquiry] has taken seriously enough its responsibility to pursue allegations of bullying or disclosures of sexual assault within the inquiry," it added.
"Nor do we believe it has done enough to demonstrate publicly that it has a robust approach to such matters."
In a letter published by the committee alongside its report, Hugh Davies QC, a barrister who worked for the inquiry until December last year, said as a body judging how institutions dealt with this sort of allegation, it should "expect to be judged by the same standards it will doubtless set for others".
Labour MP Yvette Cooper, chair of the select committee, said the inquiry needed to sort out its problems fast and be less defensive about what had gone wrong.
She said it was "shameful" that the previous chair, Dame Lowell Goddard, was refusing to give oral evidence about her sudden resignation this summer.
The New Zealand high court judge previously told the committee that for her to be summoned would compromise the inquiry's "independence and integrity".
MPs also urged the inquiry team to appoint new lawyers as soon as possible and suggested it split its workload into two strands - legal matters and child protection.
Ms Cooper said: "We found there was an unresolved tension over how far the inquiry should focus on uncovering the truth about past abuse and cover-ups and how far it should focus on current child protection policies.
"Both are important but they need different skills, experience and styles of work.
"This inquiry is far too important to be sunk by problems. That's why urgent action is needed to sort them out. Survivors of abuse deserve nothing less."
In response, Prof Jay said an external senior legal figure would be invited to review some of the issues raised in the committee's report.
"While I am confident that our safeguarding and dignity at work procedures are robust, I recognise the impact of recent speculation and commentary about them," she said.
"Nobody is more determined to deliver a successful inquiry on behalf of victims, survivors and the wider public than the panel and myself.
"We recognise that the past few months have been difficult for the inquiry and for the victims and survivors who have placed their trust in it.
"I am personally sorry for any unnecessary anxiety the inquiry may have caused to victims and survivors during this transitional period."
She is expected to publish a review of how the inquiry operates in the coming weeks.
Officers received a report of men with weapons at Toward Road, Sunderland, at about 18:30 GMT on Thursday.
After establishing the report was false, police went to an address in Wetherby Road, where the call was made.
Northumbria Police said the caller, a 36-year-old man, became unwell. He was treated by paramedics and taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital where he later died.
A police spokesperson said the matter had been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, as was procedure in the circumstances.
The 19-year-old, who has made 15 league appearances for Posh, will stay at Sincil Bank until 1 January.

Dyddgu Hywel's third-minute try allowed Wales to reach half-time level, with a pushover from Safi N'Diaye the only reward for French forward domination.
A brilliant try finished by Wales prop Megan York proved crucial.
Wales also confirmed their place for the 2017 World Cup as Scotland now cannot overtake them.
Wales got off to a flying start, as full-back Hywel sped past her marker on an arcing run from the 22 to score after only three minutes.
France created a golden chance for winger Caroline Boujard who dropped a cross-kick with the line open, but number eight N'Diaye levelled after 15 minutes with a pushover effort.
Robyn Wilkins pushed a 30-metre penalty shot wide for Wales before the French forwards took control, with Wales just managing to hold up them on the line twice.
The injury-time loss of lock Shona Powell-Hughes to a yellow card for not retreating from a penalty was a blow for Wales, and France took the lead after 45 minutes when Audrey Abadie was on target with a simple penalty with her fourth shot at goal.
But Wales produced the move of the match as wing Bethan Dainton's long break from defence saw Elen Evans on the other flank send York charging down the touchline for a memorable score.
Wales were pinned in their own 22 for long periods of the final quarter as France threw on their replacements in search of a breakthrough, but a magnificent defensive performance held the visitors out.
Wales Women: Wales Women: Dyddgu Hywel; Bethan Dainton, Hannah Jones, Robyn Wilkins, Elen Evans; Elinor Snowsill, Keira Bevan; Megan York, Carys Phillips, Catrin Edwards, Shona Powell-Hughes, Rebecca Rowe, Rachel Taylor, Sian Williams, Sioned Harries

Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales said the residential unit at Rhydygors school, Carmarthen, was failing to meet minimum standards.
It was also criticised by school inspectors, Estyn, last September.
Governors said they were building on the progress already made in addressing concerns raised in the Estyn report.
Earlier this month, Dyfed Powys Police said they had arrested six former staff members as part of Operation Almond, which is investigating claims of abuse at the school between 1976 and 1986.
Rhydygors School, in Johnstown, provides special education for pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.
The CSSIW report said: "Overall, we found that young people and their representatives cannot be confident that due care and attention has been paid to the national minimum standards for residential special schools in the period since our last inspection, as the service has not fully met these standards."
The school is now subject to monthly visits from Carmarthenshire council to monitor the quality of care pupils receive.
The report said its acting head teacher, Margaret Davies, and governing body should be more aware of national minimum standards.
It also said 80% of care staff should hold a relevant qualification but the residential unit had failed to meet that target.
The service also failed to complete an annual review of the school's welfare provision for boarding pupils.
Inspectors Estyn described the school's performance as adequate but said its prospects for improvement were "unsatisfactory".
It said: "The school's arrangements for safeguarding pupils generally meet requirements but a few areas give a cause for concern."
The school's chair of governors Matthew Harries said: "Rhydygors was inspected by Estyn in September 2014 and, as the new chair of governors, I will be looking to build on the progress that has been made to address the recommendations of the report.
"Indeed, we are pleased that progress has been made in many of these areas as noted in the more recent CSSIW report."
A CSSIW spokesperson said: "We do not have any significant concerns about Rhydygors School."
Operation Almond is also looking into allegations of abuse at Cartref-y-Gelli children's home in Carmarthen between 1986 and 1990.

Six minutes and 26 seconds and yet those early moments were still being talked about in Cardiff, with increasing vehemence and incoherence, hours later, the conversation sure to carry on in the coming days.
Where was Davies when Dan Biggar dinked his original kick over an advancing guard of four Scots? Where was he when Jamie Roberts batted the ball down from mid-air? Why was he allowed to gather the ball and run to the line? Why didn't the referee spot that he was offside? Why didn't the TMO tell him when he asked?
Rulebooks were consulted and interpretations pored over. He was miles offside, he was a bit offside, he wasn't offside at all. Before nightfall there was a danger of it all getting a little 'Joubertish' in the Scottish ranks.

The decision, either way, was a marginal call. It didn't go Scotland's way and it's not one they should bemoan for too long.
In the despond of a ninth-straight Six Nations loss - and a sixth by a converted try or less - the temptation was to over-egg the injustice, to lash out at the awarding of the 'try that should never have been'.
It's an urge that's best avoided before it mushrooms into a self-pity that's self-defeating.
In truth, Scotland head coach Vern Cotter dealt with it stoically, as he deals with most things. He thought the try was dodgy but he didn't dwell on it. Neither did his captain, Greig Laidlaw. They made their point and they moved on. There was nothing else they could do.
The bitter reality for Scotland was that when this game was there to be won, it was familiar Welshmen who stepped forward and seized the moment. It was Roberts with their critical second try and George North with their game-winning third.
Those two guys know how to win games. They've won a Lions series, a Grand Slam, a Six Nations championship. Roberts plays alongside Jonathan Davies, who has also won all those prizes. They're led by a winning Lions captain, Sam Warburton. They have at their heart, Alun Wyn Jones, one of the truly great Welsh second-rows and Taulupe Faletau, one of the most remorselessly effective number eights in their history.
Seasoned winners all. And up against them? Players of talent who have won nothing on the Test stage, not a trophy, not even a game, many of them. The gulf in know-how is canyon-wide.
A third of Scotland's starting team in Cardiff - Mark Bennett, Finn Russell, Jonny Gray, WP Nel, John Hardie - have yet to win a Six Nations match.
Tommy Seymour has won once in nine attempts, Duncan Taylor once in six attempts. Six of Scotland's substitutes have a 100% losing record in the Six Nations.
Maybe that explains, in part, why they're finding it so murderously difficult to get across the line.
Stepping back from the grim reality of nine successive championship losses, there was good in this, significantly more positive stuff than we saw a week ago against England.
Scotland had a better edge and they maintained it for longer. They had more threat, more fire, more ball. It was a step-up from a week ago. Not enough of a step-up, but an improvement.
Here's the thing. Had you picked a composite team before kick-off then Wales would have lorded it. Had you asked a hundred neutrals who was going to win then most of the hundred would have said Wales.
Looked at in that light, a four-point loss away from home against a team that is used to winning and that is studded with Lions was above par for Scotland. But the despond washed over them nonetheless.
This team is trapped in no-man's land. They're stuck in a place between the pitiful dog-days of old and a proper new dawn. They can see the light, but they just can't reach it. And it's excruciating.
There was a moment in Cardiff when even the most disbelieving of Scottish supporters might have shifted forward in their seat, the gates of their easy pessimism being stormed by optimism.
We were in the 52nd minute at the Principality Stadium - let's give it its new name for the old one was little comfort to Scotland - when Russell launched an iffy kick downfield, which was inexplicably spilled by Welsh full-back Liam Williams.
The scores were level at 13-13. Davies' try had been cancelled out by a terrific score by the excellent Seymour and it was the Scots who were asking all the questions.
There were moments that brought flashbacks, missed opportunities that reminded you of similarly spurned chances that cost them dear in the past.
Last week it was Russell missing Stuart Hogg on his outside and putting boot to ball instead. This time it was John Barclay missing Hogg, who soon went off. That was a blow, too. Hogg looked like he was set for a big game out there.
A Barclay pass instead of a kick could, and probably would, have brought a try, but he didn't see it. Other teams can survive moments like that. Scotland rarely can.
But that Williams knock-on made you wonder if this was going to be a day when Scotland got away with it. Instead of Scottish slackness being punished, it was now to bring Scottish reward. The ensuing scrum took place just outside the Welsh 22. Scotland won a free-kick and opted for another scrum. Then they won a penalty, Gethin Jenkins buckling under the strain of Nel's power.
As omens went, this might have seemed like a significant one. Scottish players ran to congratulate their front-row for a job well done. Back-slaps, air-punches and feel-good galore. All of that went up a notch when Laidlaw put over the penalty to make it 16-13 to the visitors.

A few minutes later, Scotland were back in Wales' 22, rumbling forward in a maul and asking the kind of questions they singularly failed to ask England last weekend. Hardie peeled away and went for broke. He was tackled to the deck inside the Welsh 22 and if you could freeze-frame the moment that was possibly the critical passage, the second that everything changed.
Hardie lost possession and Tom James thundered clear up his left wing. He was heading for the corner, seemingly without challenge, when Taylor appeared from a different post code to haul him down. It was a try-saver, no question. A tackle that would have gone down in the annals of great Scottish tackles had the result been different.
The siege on the Scottish line was a long one. It might have lifted had Scotland's line-out fired, but it didn't.
Had Laidlaw collected a routine tap-down from Richie Gray five metres from his own line then the danger might have cleared, but he couldn't do it. He lost concentration. The ball went by him. Soon after, Roberts went over.
That converted try turned a 16-13 Scottish lead into a 20-16 Welsh advantage.
Five minutes later, North cut a diagonal so sharp it could have taken your eye out. As it was, four Scottish defenders found themselves swimming against the tide - or the North Sea. When the wing stepped his way past wrong-footed Scots, that was the game.
In the pivotal moments, Wales' go-to men came through for them. Some of them spoke afterwards about the pain they had to endure to get the job done. Physical rather than psychological. Scotland, brave as could be, left town with a huge dose of both.
More than 380,000 people took part, among them 22 pundits, presenters and commentators from across the BBC.
The likes of Alan Shearer, Martin Keown, Danny Murphy, John Hartson and Kevin Kilbane were among those who took part, but it was BBC Radio 5 live commentator Alistair Bruce-Ball who topped the standings in their mini-league, pipping radio colleague Ian Dennis and Football Focus presenter Dan Walker, who finished joint second.
Despite finishing top of the BBC Sport league, Bruce-Ball was only 1,203rd in the overall league - out of 381,078 players.
The winner was a user called AndyN4, who correctly predicted the score in the final between Portugal and France would be 0-0 after 90 minutes.
That result enabled him to leapfrog fellow player CSKA Sofia, who had been leading going into the final, to win by 10 points.
For each of the 51 games in the tournament, 10 points were awarded for a correct result (ie correctly predicting the winner or a draw) with 40 for the exact score.
The move comes after their party's worst election result since 1965.
Lee Kuan Yew and fellow former prime minister Goh Chok Tong said in a joint resignation statement that the "time has come for a younger generation".
The 87-year old Mr Lee was prime minister from 1959 to 1990, after which Mr Goh took over until 2004.

Lee Kuan Yew has designed, driven, and dominated Singapore's development for over 50 years.
But now, aged 87, he says it's time to step down. He will give up his post as Minister Mentor, a cabinet advisory role specifically established for him in 2004.
The move comes after an election in which the opposition mounted their most effective challenge since independence. Mr Lee, under whose leadership, freedoms and rights were curtailed in return for a promise of security and prosperity, described the vote as a watershed.
"The time has come for a younger generation to carry Singapore forward in a more difficult and complex situation," he said.
The next government will be led, like the last one, by Mr Lee's son. The Patriarch's retirement is, unquestionably, a key moment in Singapore's political history. But the dynasty is secure.
Mr Lee had been known as minister mentor, while Mr Goh was senior minister since 2004. Both won parliament seats in the city-state's latest general election on 7 May.
BBC South-East Asia correspondent Rachel Harvey says Mr Lee's retirement is, unquestionably, a key moment in Singapore's political history.
In a joint-statement, Mr Lee and Mr Goh said the current prime minister and his team "should have a fresh clean slate".
"The time has come for a younger generation to carry Singapore forward in a more difficult and complex situation," they said.
"After a watershed general election, we have decided to leave the cabinet and have a completely younger team of ministers to connect to and engage with this young generation."
Politics in the tiny but hugely wealthy state have been dominated by the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) since independence in 1965.
But in the latest elections, the PAP won only 60% of the vote - down from 67% in 2006 and 75% in 2001.
The Workers' Party won six seats, the most the opposition has held since independence in 1965.
Singapore is one of the world's richest countries, but soaring housing prices amid a surge of foreign workers have left poorer islanders struggling.
The project is due to be completed by 2018, but there have been delays in the electrification of the network around the UK.
Mr Crabb said the upgrade commitment was "rock solid" but it might not be completed on time.
Network Rail said a review of its five-year investment plan was under way.
Speaking to BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme, Mr Crabb said: "We can guarantee that it's going to be electrified through to Swansea. That commitment is there, it's rock solid.
"Network Rail has got a lot of balls in the air at the moment.
"If they've got themselves into problems in terms of delivering some of these projects to a particular timetable, you know, it's for them to come forward and explain that.
"The importance is that we secure a strong political commitment to finishing the project and getting that electrification through to Swansea.
"Whether that happens in accordance with exactly the timetable that we want it to and we envisaged, I'm not here to say that that will be the case but, clearly, we're going to finish the project and it won't be too far out of the original timetable."
It is the first indication yet about potential delays to the Swansea project.
Last month, UK Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said Network Rail's five-year plan was being reset as it was "costing more and taking longer".
He told MPs schemes in the Midlands and Yorkshire would be put on hold but said the electrification of the Great Western line was a top priority.
The electrification of the connecting south Wales valleys lines is due to be completed by 2020.
Welsh government Transport Minister Edwina Hart told the programme there was "constructive dialogue" between the two governments, but insisted delivery of the scheme was the responsibility of the UK government.
"It's their commitment to the people of Wales so they will stand and fall by their ability to deliver these projects on time and in budget," she said.
The UK government is due to set out more details of its investment into the electrification programme in the autumn.

La La Land's other wins included best song and best score.
The film opened in just five cinemas in North America this weekend, grossing $855,000 (£678,464) for Lionsgate, according to box office estimates. The $171,000 (£135,751) average per cinema is an all-time record for a film opening in so few cinemas.

Twenty-two people were killed and another 59 injured in the attack after an Ariana Grande gig on Monday night.
Ipswich Town goalkeeper Harry Wright posted on Snapchat, saying "in Manchester with the bombs but still having a belta with my main man joe".
The 18-year said it had been a "massive error of judgment".
As reported by the Ipswich Star, Wright's post was highlighted on Twitter.
People responded, labelling the post "disrespectful" and "disgusting".
"I would like to apologise wholeheartedly for the insensitive comments I made on social media while out in Manchester last night," Wright said in a statement issued by the club.
"I wasn't aware of the full situation regarding the tragic events when I made those comments but that is no excuse, it was a massive error of judgment and something I deeply regret.
"My thoughts and condolences go out to all the victims and their families."
Ipswich Town said it was investigating.
Club spokesman Jonathon Ogle said: "The club would like to reiterate that our thoughts and condolences are with all those people affected by the deeply tragic events in Manchester last night."
Last week, Wright, who has yet to make his first-team debut, was given a new contract by the club.
Allen started his fourth spell as Bees head coach in March 2014 and signed a rolling contract in May 2015.
The 50-year-old led the club to the Conference title in the 2014-15 season, before finishing 15th in the League Two table last term.
"Someone asked me how long this contract is for, I don't even know," he told the club website.
"I think I'm here forever now, God bless!"
Allen started his managerial career at the Hive in 2003 and had short spells in charge in 2011 and 2012, before returning once again following the departure of previous head coach Edgar Davids in 2014.

Tim had to direct a rover here on Earth while he was 250 miles up in space.
Major Peake's mission was to get the robot across a sandpit, made to be like the surface of the Mars, and into a cave to look for targets.
The plan is for astronauts to do this when rovers are sent to the Red Planet in the future.
So how did he do? Have a watch of the video to find out.
Pavlos Fyssas, 34, was killed early on Wednesday. Police arrested the suspect and searched Golden Dawn's offices. The party denied any involvement.
Social tensions have risen as Greeks deal with years of austerity measures.
Greece's Public Order Minister, Nikos Dendias, has cancelled a trip to Rome. He said the situation was critical.
The minister expressed his deep regret over the incident, and said the government would soon put forward a new law against political violence and armed groups.
Greece's Socialist Party, which is the second party in the governing coalition, has said that Golden Dawn should be considered a criminal group.
The killing occurred ahead of further strikes against government plans to cut thousands of public sector jobs.
Mr Fyssas, an anti-fascist and hip-hop artist, was stabbed outside a cafe shortly after midnight local time in the western Athens district of Keratsini.
Reports say that after a dispute over football, there was an altercation between different groups of people. The victim was attacked by a group of 15 men.
A 45-year-old man, who police say has admitted supporting Golden Dawn, has confessed to the crime, the BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens says.
Before being pronounced dead, the victim had identified his attacker to police.
Anti-fascist demonstrators gathered on Tuesday night and are planning another rally later on Wednesday.
Golden Dawn has frequently been accused of violence towards left-wing activists and immigrants and is blamed for vigilante attacks.
Europe's top human rights body, the Council of Europe, has said there are grounds for Golden Dawn to be made illegal.
But the party has 18 MPs. Its popularity has grown during Greece's financial crisis. The government fears banning the party could drive it underground and increase its support.
Doctors, teachers and municipal rubbish collectors were among those taking part in the latest stoppage called by the civil servants' union, which is due to last two days.
Federer, 33, pulled out with a back problem after a lengthy semi-final against Stan Wawrinka on Saturday.
That left world number one Djokovic to collect the trophy before playing an exhibition set against Andy Murray.
"You cannot blame Roger. I'm sure he would play the World Tour finals if he could," said Djokovic, 27.
"This is probably the first time in history that this happens. It's a very awkward situation to talk about, to be honest.
"You never like to win, especially these big matches against big rivals, with the retirement, but that's the way it is."
Djokovic only learned that Federer was withdrawing during the preceding doubles final, and the Serb paid tribute to Murray for stepping in as cover.
ATP executive chairman Chris Kermode said he called Murray at 14:00 GMT, and the Scot "instantly" agreed to travel to the O2 to play a set of singles, followed by doubles with John McEnroe, Tim Henman and Pat Cash.
The British number one, who suffered a crushing 6-0 6-1 defeat by Federer on Thursday, was back on the centre court in front of 17,000 spectators by 18:00 GMT.
"I want to thank him for coming out and making an effort," said Djokovic.
"It really is an effort. I know how it feels when you finish the season, as he did on Thursday.
"Probably the last thing he's thinking about is tennis now. He wants to rest after a long season. It's very genuine from him."
Djokovic ends the year as world number one for the third time in four years and won his seventh Grand Slam title at Wimbledon.
But he lost to Rafael Nadal at the French Open once again.
"Right now I'm at the pinnacle in my career," he said.

"I physically feel very fit. I'm very motivated to keep on playing at a very high level.
"So as long as it's like that, I'm going to try to use these years in front of me to fight for number one in the world and to fight for the biggest titles in the sport.
"Roland Garros is, was and still will be one of the biggest goals that I have."
Djokovic's immediate priority is returning to wife Jelena and their son Stefan, who was born last month.
"I'm very hands on," he said. "My wife told me what to expect. I've seen it before I came to Paris and London.
"I'm glad during the stay in London for these 10 days I got a lot of sleep, because that will not be the case from now."
It came after Scottish Finance Secretary Derek Mackay met with his Welsh and Northern Irish counterparts, Mark Drakeford and Mairtin O Muilleoir.
They said they wanted to meet Mr Osborne to discuss the effect of Brexit on devolved budgets.
Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU. Wales backed Leave.
Across the UK, 52% voted to leave the EU in last month's referendum.
The trio have written to Mr Osborne requesting an "urgent meeting" to discuss the implications of the EU referendum result.
Following the meeting in Cardiff, Mr MacKay said the Scottish government was "absolutely committed" to pursuing all avenues to maintain Scotland's place in the EU.
He added: "We remain unclear on the likely impact of Brexit on UK government finances, and we are already seeing the UK government suggest changes to future spending plans, as well as considerable concern over the economy and investment levels.
"The devolved administrations need urgent answers from the UK government on the impact that the Brexit vote could have on future budgets, and that is why it is crucial that we meet with Mr Osborne imminently.
"I have already expressed concerns about the impact this will have on this year's Scottish budget process, and given this uncertainty, there is a strong case for publishing a one year rather than a three-year budget this year."
The meeting in Cardiff came as Chancellor George Osborne is due to travel to New York, Singapore and China for talks with major investors in the coming weeks.
He has vowed to create a "more outward-looking, global-facing Britain" following the UK vote to leave the European Union.
Writing in the Wall Street Journal, he said even closer economic ties between the UK and US were in the "overwhelming interest of both countries".
The 24-year-old made his return against Newcastle Under-21s earlier this month after breaking his fibula in August.
Before Monday, his last goals were for his country as Roy Hodgson's side beat Slovenia 3-2 in June.
Wilshere featured in five of England's first six qualifying fixtures for this summer's European Championship.
Mandatory case reviews will now be carried out by all involved agencies, including police and health services.
It follows comments from Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer that teenage women are most at risk of abuse and more must be done to tackle it.
Almost 100 women are killed by partners or ex-partners each year, figures show.
And 21 men died from domestic abuse in England and Wales last year.
Together with the police and health services, local authorities, probation, voluntary groups and any other bodies connected to a victim will now have to examine together exactly what went wrong and consider how to spot the signs when someone's life is in danger.
Speaking at the Crown Prosecution Service headquarters in central London on Tuesday, Mr Starmer said too many prosecutions were failing and more must be done to protect victims.
He also stressed the need for victims to be supported both during and after criminal proceedings.
He pointed to British Crime Survey findings which showed young women between the ages of 16 and 19 were most at risk of domestic abuse.
"What that tends to show is that there may be a next generation of domestic violence waiting in the wings.
"Domestic violence is serious and pernicious. It ruins lives, breaks up families and has a lasting impact," he said.
"It is criminal. And it has been with us for a very long time, yet it is only in the last 10 years that it has been taken seriously as a criminal justice issue.
"Although greatly reduced, the refrain 'it's just a domestic' is still heard far too frequently.
"The steps that we and our criminal justice partners are taking to tackle domestic violence risk limited success unless this complacency is tackled head on. A change in attitude is clearly needed."
Reinhold Hanning is accused of being an accessory to the murder of at least 170,000 people at the camp. He was an SS guard there from 1942 to 1944.
He has said he knew what was going on at the camp but did not act to stop it.
But he denies involvement in murder. His trial in Detmold began in February.
The Nazis killed about 1.1m people at Auschwitz in occupied southern Poland, most of them Jews.
Mr Hanning was on duty there at a time when hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were murdered.
"I want to say that it disturbs me deeply that I was part of such a criminal organisation," he told the court.
"I am ashamed that I saw injustice and never did anything about it and I apologise for my actions. I am very, very sorry."
It was the first time he had spoken openly about his role at Auschwitz. Prosecutors say he met Jewish prisoners as they arrived at the camp and may have escorted some to the gas chambers.
A verdict is expected in May but, at his age, experts say he is unlikely to serve a prison sentence because of the length of the appeals process.
Earlier, his lawyer read a 22-page declaration from Mr Hanning in which he admitted knowing what was happening at the camp while he served there.
He was said to have joined the SS forces voluntarily in 1940 at the age of 18 at the urging of his stepmother.
In the declaration, Mr Hanning said he was sent to Auschwitz after being wounded in battle and having his requests to return to the frontline rejected.
"People were shot, gassed and burned. I could see how corpses were taken back and forth or moved out. I could smell the burning bodies; I knew corpses were being burned," the statement read.
There was no mention in the statement of whether he had any involvement in the killings in the camp.
Auschwitz survivor and co-plaintiff Leon Schwarzbaum was in court when Mr Hanning gave his apology and said it was not enough.
"I lost 35 family members, how can you apologise for that?'' the 95-year-old was quoted by AP news agency as saying.
"I am not angry, I do not want him to go to prison but he should say more for the sake of the young generation today because the historical truth is important.''
On Thursday the court heard grim details of the selection process that Jews faced on arrival at Auschwitz, WDR reports (in German). The presiding judge read out lists of transports, detailing how many people were selected as being "capable of work", and how many were sent straight to be gassed.
Until recently, German prosecutors were required to provide evidence that defendants were directly involved in the killings.
But that changed with the 2011 conviction of John Demjanjuk, when a judge concluded that his activities as a camp worker in Nazi-occupied Poland amounted to complicity in mass murder.
Last year a German court sentenced Oskar Groening, 94, to four years in jail as an accessory to the murder of at least 300,000 people at Auschwitz.
Known as the SS "book-keeper of Auschwitz", he was allegedly responsible for counting banknotes confiscated from prisoners.

Reed's opening lyrics read: "Holly came from Miami, F-L-A / Hitchhiked her way across the USA / Plucked her eyebrows on the way / Shaved her legs, and then he was a she" in his hit.
She died on Sunday in Los Angeles her friend Mariela Huerta said.
A memorial service is expected.
Puerto-Rico born Woodlawn, born Haroldo Santiago Franceschi Rodriguez Danhakl, took on her new name after leaving home aged 15 and hitchhiking to New York City.
She told the Guardian in 2007 of her brief fame after appearing in Warhol's films: "I was very happy when I gradually became a Warhol superstar. I felt like Elizabeth Taylor!
"Little did I realise that not only would there be no money, but that your star would flicker for two seconds and that was it. But it was worth it, the drugs, the parties, it was fabulous."
She also explained that she did not get to know Reed properly until after the song's 1972 release.
The paper said she decided against gender reassignment surgery in the late 60s, with her response being: "Honey, once they cut it off, it's OFF!"
Despite receiving critical acclaim for her film work, she did not find mainstream success.
However she did appear in 90s independent films Twin Falls Idaho and Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, as well as the Golden Globe-winning US TV series Transparent, about the father of an LA family who comes out as transgender.
The show, which won best TV series (musical or comedy) at January's awards, also saw its star Jeffrey Tambor win best TV series actor.
Joe Dallesandro, who starred in Trash, tweeted on 6 December: "Holly Woodlawn was in Room 306 when I arrived to see her today. At 3:06pm LA time, she passed away."
He also said on Facebook that he had visited in her in a hospice, adding: "I was next to her talking and telling her all the love that was being sent her way from everyone. It was like she knew I was there."
They played a couple in the film, produced by Warhol and directed by Paul Morrissey, living in the fringes of New York's East Village, scrounging for food and drugs.
Singer Marc Almond tweeted his respects, saying: "Sad news about Warhol Superstar Holly Woodlawn. 'Holly came from Miami FLA, hitch hiked her way across the USA'."
US rock band The Dandy Warhols added: "If you are of a certain age, Holly Woodlawn was the first trans woman you may have been aware of thanks to this song."
Huerta said Woodlawn, who had been battling brain and liver cancer, had no surviving relatives.
Bomb disposal officers was called to the Ardilaun area of the town by police overnight and they arrived at the scene at about 03:00 local time on Tuesday.
A number of houses were evacuated while the team defused the device. The area was declared safe at 04:00 local time.
The device was taken to a military location for further testing was later declared to have been viable.
An army spokesperson said all the evidence would be handed over to police.
Seamus Daly, 44, is originally from Culloville, County Monaghan, but now has an address at Kilnasaggart Road in Jonesborough, County Armagh.
He appeared at Omagh Magistrates' Court via video-link.
Mr Daly was one of four men ordered to pay more than £1.5m in damages to the families of those killed in the Real IRA attack in August 1998.
He was one of five men named in a BBC Panorama programme, Who Bombed Omagh, in October 2000, that investigated the attack.
No-one has ever been convicted of carrying out the bombing in a criminal court.
Mr Daly has been in custody since April 2014.
A prosecution barrister told the court a substantial amount of evidence relating to mobile phones has been requested from the authorities in the Republic of Ireland, and should be available in six weeks.
What was described as "other more complex material" were subject to legal issues that could take a further four months to resolve.
A defence lawyer said the prosecution had no new evidence since 1999 and his client had been living openly in Jonesborough at all times yet now faced "the biggest murder trial in British criminal history".
The judge remanded Mr Daly into continuing custody until 10 March for a further update on progress in the case.
Relatives of four of the victims of the Omagh bombing were in the court for the hearing.
Power Court, near the town's railway station, has been identified by the club as the ideal location for a new ground.
The club confirmed the land's purchase had been completed ahead of schedule after a planning application was submitted in August.
The Hatters have been at their current stadium, Kenilworth Road, since 1905.
They hope to move by 2020.
The football club's sister company, 2020 Developments, made the announcement on Twitter on Friday.
It said: "POWER IN OUR HANDS! We are delighted to announce that the transaction for 2020 Developments to purchase the freehold for Power Court from British Land PLC has been completed this morning ahead of schedule.
"The future is bright, the future is orange!"
Luton Town Football Club chief executive, Gary Sweet, said: "I am so pleased to be able to confirm this key deal for the football club and the town as a whole.
"It is a milestone achievement in the history of both. We see this as vital for the regeneration of an historic part of Luton town centre."
The Hatters hope to help fund the new stadium by developing a site they own near junction 10 of the M1.
Newlands Park would have retail, leisure and office facilities, but a Luton Borough Council report highlighted concerns about the plans.
It said the development could damage "trade, footfall and investment".
The club claimed there was "no evidence" the scheme would have a negative impact and concerns had been addressed.
Planning applications for both the Power Court and Newlands Park sites will be considered in the new year.
Bashir Naderi, 19, had his deportation stopped by a judge just hours before he was due to board the plane last month.
He has lived in Wales for nine years after his mother paid traffickers to bring him to the UK.
Mr Naderi said: "I just want to live a normal life, like a normal person".
His father was a policeman when Taliban fighters had control of the country, murdering him close to the family home.
Mr Naderi had been sent out to bring lunch to his father when he witnessed him being shot dead.
"I was nine years old. No one can forget something like that," he said.
"It happened right in front of me. If someone is being murdered right in front of you, you don't forget it."
After the death, his mother sold the family plot of land so her son could be smuggled out of the country and brought to the UK.
He told BBC Radio Wales' Jason Mohammad show he did not know if his mother was alive or dead.
Mr Naderi said he had no other family back in Afghanistan and feared for his own safety if he was forced to return.
"I would have nowhere to go, I don't speak the language - I belong here," he said.
"I just want to stay in this country. This is my home town where I belong with my family.
He was arrested in October after reporting for a monthly sign-in at the Home Office and taken to a detention centre in Oxfordshire to await deportation.
He was given an initial 14-day reprieve just hours before he was due to be forced on to a plane, after a judge ordered his release.
More than 14,000 people have signed a petition organised by his girlfriend demanding he is allowed to remain in Wales, backed by celebrities including the singers Cerys Matthews and Charlotte Church.
His case has also won cross-party support from AMs and backing by MPs.
"If they knew Bash like the rest of us, there could be no way they could send him back," said his partner, Nicole Cooper.
"He wouldn't fit in - he would stand out, especially with the Cardiff accent he has. It's traumatising - it's not fair."
Mr Naderi, who has been studying decorating at Cardiff and Vale College, said he had been overwhelmed by the support he has had.
He still has to report to the Home office every week while his case is being reviewed.
"Every time I go in I am scared, I am frightened I am not going to come out again," added Mr Naderi.
The Home Office said it did not comment on individual cases.
Lady Macbeth, which is released in the UK this week, sees the 21-year-old from Oxfordshire in her first lead role.
The film has been getting five star reviews, with The Telegraph calling it "a lusty, jaw-droppingly amoral bodice-ripper".
The Guardian described it as "a daring journey into the darkest corners of the world of bonnets and bows".
Pugh plays Katherine, a teenage bride in 19th-Century rural England, stifled by her marriage to a man twice her age.
The film is an adaptation of Nikolai Leskov's 1865 Russian novella Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk.
It's also the debut feature of theatre director William Oldroyd. Pugh signed up as soon as she had read the screenplay by playwright Alice Birch - despite it coming at the same time as another script.
"As actors we don't have jobs for 90% of the year, and then suddenly you get two offers at the same time," she said. "I remember my agent calling me about Lady Macbeth and saying you just need to read the script - so I did and I knew I didn't have to read the other one!"
Pugh's role sees her transform from innocent bride to calculating killer after she begins an affair with a farmhand (Cosmo Jarvis) on her husband's estate.
"I think the wonderful thing about Katherine is that she is such a child," said Pugh. "She doesn't understand consequences and she doesn't understand much about what she's doing until it's too late."
The drama was shot "on a miniscule budget" in 24 days on location in Lambton Castle near Chester-le-Street in County Durham.
"It was made on very little and that's rare for a period film," said Pugh, who honed her on-screen accent by chatting to the locals during the two weeks of rehearsals.
"The accent was a bit of a fear of mine at the beginning," she admitted. "It's not Geordie and it's not Newcastle, it's Northumberland - we worked really hard on that beforehand."
Pugh, who's been acting and singing since the age of seven, made her film debut opposite Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams in Carol Morley's The Falling, about a mysterious fainting epidemic at an all-girls school in 1969. It was shot in Oxford where Pugh was born and went to school.
Her role as the rebellious Abbie saw her nominated for the best newcomer award at the BFI London Film Festival.
"The Falling was a big, flashy bizarre experience," she said. "I kept on saying at the time it was a fluke because I did the audition and I didn't think anything would come of it.
"Now I've gone from working with Maisie to doing a lead role. Lady Macbeth is a great opportunity for me to prove that maybe the outcome of The Falling was not necessarily a fluke."
In 2015 Pugh made a US TV pilot, Studio City, in California and she was seen on ITV last year in the detective drama Marcella, starring Anna Friel.
Lady Macbeth had its world premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, but Pugh was unable to attend as she was shooting Liam Neeson thriller The Commuter, about a businessman who gets caught up in a criminal conspiracy on his way home from work.
Fellow cast members include Vera Farmiga, Elizabeth McGovern, Sam Neill and Patrick Wilson.
"It's a proper full-on action film with lots of jumping and running," Pugh explained.
"I play this hipster/punk/goth. She's got lots of tattoos and piercings and pink hair. She's pretty cool actually.
"And completely different to Lady Macbeth."
Pugh has since played the lead role in another film, Fighting with My Family, written and directed by Stephen Merchant, about a family of professional wrestlers.

Mr Obama was criticised by pro-Brexit campaigners after he warned of the consequences of the UK leaving the EU.
UKIP's Nigel Farage said Mr Obama was "talking down Britain", while Tory Liam Fox said his views were "irrelevant".
Mr Obama, on a three-day UK visit, will meet Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn later.
His intervention came on his first full day in the UK and comes just weeks ahead of the 23 June in-out referendum.
Speaking at a joint news conference with Prime Minister David Cameron, Mr Obama said the US "wants Britain's influence to grow - including within Europe".
"The UK is at its best when it's helping to lead a strong European Union. It leverages UK power to be part of the EU.
"I don't think the EU moderates British influence in the world, it magnifies it."
BBC political correspondent Iain Watson said Mr Obama's message on trade was "very blunt" and "really upped the ante" in the referendum debate.
Leave campaigners responded angrily, with Mr Farage accusing the US president of doing Mr Cameron's "bidding" and talking down Britain. "I think that's shameful," he added.
Mr Fox said Mr Obama would be leaving the White House soon, and therefore his comments were "largely irrelevant".
He told BBC's Newsnight: "We heard 'you are our best friend, we have a special relationship, and you will get a punishment beating if you leave the EU'.
"This is very much the Downing Street refrain."
Conservative MP Dominic Raab labelled Mr Obama a "lame-duck American president doing an old British friend a political favour".
Downing Street rejected suggestions that lines had been fed to Mr Obama, saying the US president spoke for himself.
Meanwhile, another prominent Leave campaigner - former cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith - has tried to move the referendum debate on to immigration.
In an article in the Daily Mail, he says the introduction of a national living wage - a move he supported while in government - will "surely lead to another stampede to our borders".
He adds: "To make the Living Wage work for British people, we need to be able to control the number of people coming in."
Mr and Mrs Obama will spend the second full day of their visit in London on Saturday.
The US president will meet Labour leader Mr Corbyn and visit the Globe Theatre as part of the celebrations marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.

Rescue workers are working with volunteers to free survivors trapped inside the remains of the building.
Tens of thousands of weeping family members have gathered at the site.
Police said the factory owners had ignored warnings not to allow their workers into the building after cracks were noticed on Tuesday.
The High Court has summoned the Rana Plaza building owner and senior management staff of the factories to appear before judges on 30 April, local media report.
The factory owners are said to have gone into hiding.
Police earlier confirmed that cases had been filed against the building owner and the owners of the factories for causing unlawful death.
The exact number of those trapped is not clear, but accounts from survivors and eyewitnesses suggest there may be hundreds still unaccounted for.
The disaster has prompted questions over Bangladesh's chronically poor safety standards.
Bangladesh has one of the largest garment industries in the world, providing cheap clothing for major Western retailers which benefit from its widespread low-cost labour.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has announced a national day of mourning on Thursday in memory of the victims.
Thousands of garment workers in other areas of Dhaka have taken to the streets and blocked roads to protest at the deaths of the workers in Savar.
Bangladesh's Daily Star newspaper reported that protesters had clashed with police, resulting in some injuries.
Some 2,000 people were in the Rana Plaza building in Savar, some 30km (20 miles) outside Dhaka, when it collapsed suddenly on Wednesday morning.
Firefighters and soldiers joined volunteers in the effort to locate survivors in the mangled wreckage of concrete and steel.
They have been using heavy machinery and their bare hands to free survivors.
Rescue work is proceeding slowly so as not to set off a second collapse, officials say.
Trapped workers can be heard inside the rubble, screaming for help. Food and water is being passed to survivors through gaps in the the rubble.
Lengths of textile that were earlier being cut into garments - many destined for Western consumers - were now being used as makeshift slides to evacuate survivors and corpses.
Mosammat Khursida told the Associated Press (AP) news agency she was looking for her husband.
"He came to work in the morning. I can't find him," she said. "I don't know where he is. He does not pick up his phone."
Lines of relatives filed by numbered bodies of victims, looking for their family members.
"Save us brother. I beg you brother. I want to live... It's so painful here ... I have two little children," Mohammad Altab, a garment worker trapped in the building told rescuers, according to AP.
Only the ground floor of the building remained intact, officials said.
"The whole building collapsed like a pancake within minutes. Most workers did not have any chance to escape," national fire department chief Ahmed Ali told AFP news agency.
Local hospitals were overwhelmed with the arrival of more than 1,000 injured people.
Speaking at the scene, Home Minister Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir said the building had violated construction codes and "the culprits would be punished".
There are reports that the building owner had illegally added three extra stories to the building.
In November, a fire at a garment factory in the Dhaka suburb of Tazreen drew international attention to working conditions in Bangladesh's textile industry.
Primark, a clothes retailer with a large presence in Britain, confirmed that one of its suppliers was on the second floor of the Rana Plaza.
It said it was "shocked and deeply saddened by the appalling incident" and that it would work with other retailers to review standards.
Discount giant Wal-Mart - which was found to be sourcing products from the Tazreen factory - said it was still trying to establish whether its goods were being produced at the Rana Plaza.
"We remain committed and are actively engaged in promoting stronger safety measures, and that work continues,'' said Wal-Mart spokesman Kevin Gardner.
A company called New Wave, with two factories in the building, supplies firms from around Europe, the US and Canada.
Meanwhile, Spanish retailer Mango said it had not been using any of the suppliers in the building but had been in talks with one of them to produce a batch of test products.
Edward Hertzman, a textiles broker based in New York, told Reuters news agency that pressure from US retailers to keep costs down was in part responsible for unsafe conditions.
"Bangladesh is the longest lead-time country and a difficult country to work in, so the only way it becomes competitive is by offering the lowest [cost]. That's the catch-22," he said.
"If the factories want to raise prices to make up for rising wages and costs, the buyers say: 'Oh why do we want to go to Bangladesh if I could go to China, Pakistan, Cambodia etc for a similar price?"
He said if Western companies really wanted safety standards to improve, they would have to accept that they needed to start paying higher prices.
The red sandstone altar was taken from the Senhouse Roman Museum in Maryport during opening hours on Thursday.
Discovered in Maryport in 1880, the altar forms part of the Netherhall Collection.
Museum manager Jane Laskey said the museum was "devastated" by the theft, which she said would have left the altar damaged.
The 10in (25cm) tall, 5in (13cm) wide altar was mounted for secure open display.
Ms Laskey said: "It has always been a priority to us that the collection is made accessible to everyone and we have trusted members of the public to value the collection too.
"It is very unpleasant to find that someone abused that trust to steal something that is such a significant part of the heritage of the people of Maryport.
"As a result of this incident the museum's security has been reviewed," Ms Laskey said.
In the 16th Century, John Senhouse began to form the Netherhall Collection of inscriptions and sculptures which, according to Historic England, later became the largest private collection of Roman antiquities from one British site.
In 1870, 17 altars were found buried in Maryport, all dedicated by the fort's garrison commanders to the Roman god Jupiter.
The museum said the stolen altar's value is its importance as part of the Netherhall Collection rather than its monetary worth.
CCTV footage from the week of the theft has been given to police, who say they are investigating.
Jose Maria Marin, 83, was among seven officials from football's world governing body Fifa who were arrested in May at a Zurich hotel.
The move came after they were indicted on corruption charges in the US.
Mr Marin is accused of taking bribes in connection with marketing rights.
He is alleged to have accepted millions of dollars from sports marketing companies in connection with the Copa America and Copa do Brasil tournaments.
Mr Marin "must be placed in the custody of a US police escort and taken to the USA within 10 days", the Swiss justice office said in a statement.
Until now, he had fought his extradition.
Former Fifa vice president Jeffrey Webb has also agreed to be extradited to the US.
The five others who were arrested in Zurich continue to oppose their extradition.
The US has indicted a total of 14 current and former Fifa officials and associates on charges of "rampant, systemic, and deep-rooted" corruption following a major inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Fifa's president Sepp Blatter has always denied any wrongdoing - but in September, he too was made the subject of a Swiss criminal investigation, launched alongside the US inquiry.
Clara Amfo will host it for the last time before it moves on 10 July to 16:00 BST on Fridays with Greg James, as part of his drivetime show.
The move coincides with the music industry's launch of New Music Fridays in more than 45 countries.
All albums and singles will now be released globally at 00:01 on a Friday.
Currently albums and singles are released on different days around the world - for example, Madonna's Rebel Heart was released on a Monday in the UK, Tuesday in the US and a Friday in Germany and Australia.
As well as the charts, record companies, artists, distributors and retailers have been working together to align with the new international release day.
According to research for the BPI (British Phonographic Industry), which represents the British music industry, 60% of consumers who buy or stream new music (who expressed a preference), prefer it to come out on a Saturday or Friday.
The most popular reasons include it being "the weekend" (36%), when they have "time to listen to new music" (26%) or time to go shopping or look online.
"In a business that is increasingly digital and global, the logic for a global release day is compelling," said Geoff Taylor, chief executive of BPI.
"Fans don't understand why they have to wait to legally access music that has already been released in other countries."
Official Charts Company chief executive, Martin Talbot, said the move to Fridays "ushers in a new era" for the chart, which has been going out on Sunday afternoon since it moved from Tuesdays in October 1987.
As well as Radio 1, MTV UK will also move its TV coverage of the charts to a Friday, while the complete albums and singles top 100 will be published on the Official Charts website at 18:00 BST every Friday.
The first Friday chart, on 10 July, will be a five-day chart, following on from the final Sunday afternoon chart on 5 July.

The Official Chart with Greg James will be broadcast at 16:00 BST every Friday from 10 July.
Figures published by the Directors Guild of America showed that in 2013 and 2014, 6.4% of Hollywood films were made by women, while just over 1% of movies were made by women from ethnic minority backgrounds.
Arnold, who has won an Oscar, two Baftas, and four prizes at Cannes Film Festival since she started directing 18 years ago, says she saw the statistics recently, and "was so shocked at the amount of women directors".
"The figures were so small. We actively have to employ more females, perhaps we need to at this point. There are a lot of capable women out there."
Arnold's latest film, American Honey, follows an African American heroine, Star, as she travels across the US with a road crew selling magazine subscriptions.
It won the Jury Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and is showing at this year's BFI London Film Festival. The director believes that "we've grown up mainly on male stories, and most of the films have been written and directed by men - and that's only half of the human race".
"I remember going to a women's film festival and feeling a slight amount of trepidation, but actually it was fantastic. Some of the films made me cry because they really spoke to me," she recalls.
"It was then I realised up till then I had mostly been spoken to by men in cinema."
All of Arnold's four feature films are centred around a female story, and three are set, including American Honey, during the teenage transition to womanhood.
It's a time Arnold calls " very precious, and very interesting - there are a lot of hormones flying. And I always wanted to do a girl's road trip story, a coming of age".
The desire to make the film had been with Arnold, she says, since she saw a New York Times article some years ago detailing the so-called "Mag Crews", itinerant young people who travel across the US, sleeping in camper vans, and going door to door, scratching a living by selling magazine subscriptions.
To research and write it, the director took her own road trip, starting off from Salt Lake City, Utah, "as the sun came up, with the freeway ahead of me, and Spirit in the Sky on the radio.
"We're all fascinated by America, aren't we? We've all grown up with the idea of it."
"I wasn't trying to subvert the American Dream with my story but it's complicated - this belief that you can have whatever you want, as long as you stick at it," she says.
"It depends how well you started in life - and if you started in poverty, without proper parenting, how easy is it to find the self-confidence to do what you want to do?
"And if you don't do it, that's doubly hard - you are stuck with a sense of failure."
Arnold's journey took her through some states, where she says "I didn't fully understand how intense the poverty would be".
She describes driving through a town in Oklahoma "where everything was shut - the whole high street, the factories, everything".
"There were people there, but nothing for them. I suppose that's when certain political messages get appealing - when you can't even access a doctor or a dentist. It made me profoundly grateful for the NHS, actually."
The film stars Shia La Beouf as the crew leader, Jake, and a 21-year-old Texan, Sasha Lane, who was "discovered" by Arnold and her scouts.
"It was Spring Break and we were on a Florida beach," Arnold recalls, "and there were 20,000 teenagers on that beach. At first she was careful, because there were actually people out there recruiting for pornography films too.
"She just had a certain something - she was very awake and alive, she was very present with us when we spoke to her."
Arnold also employed first-time actors in her previous films, Wuthering Heights and Fish Tank, and admits: "I like it because they provide a faithful representation of the world that I am seeking to portray.
"It's often easier to use 'real' people; you can genuinely believe it's the life they have led just by looking at their faces. Sometimes I feel I am making life difficult for myself, as they never do quite what you expect them to do.
"But they never repeat themselves, they bring something different and no take is the same."
Shia LaBeouf, she adds, "just mucked in with everyone, we got on really well from the first moment we met".
"He strikes me as an actor looking to do things in a different way. He was up for the adventure and stayed for the duration of the whole trip, as I wanted him to. There was no flying in and out, just staying in the same motel rooms as the rest of the crew."
Arnold often drove her cast from one location to another, and early on, sent them to try and sell magazine subscriptions for real, "or how else would they have the experience? So I sent them off, and the first time was OK, we had a 'Mag Manager' come and teach them the craft, and they even made some money.
"However the next time we did it again, on a housing estate in Nebraska, the police were called and we got chased away - I think the residents were more protective.
"The people in my film are very much like the real magazine crew that I read about and met.
"It was a huge experience for all of us, I think - we lived together for two months. They say road trips change everyone and at the end of that period, I sensed a great deal of sadness from them, that it would all come to an end."
American Honey premieres at the BFI London Film Festival on October 7th and is released in the UK on October 14th.

That summed up the mood of Northern Ireland supporters as they filed out of Windsor Park in celebratory mood after Kyle Lafferty's dramatic last-gasp equaliser salvaged a draw against Hungary and kept their dream of qualifying for Euro 2016 very much alive.
Michael O'Neill's side's incremental progress towards next summer's finals now looks to have gathered unstoppable momentum and two points from their remaining two fixtures would be enough to secure their passage to France.
Prior to the game, those fortunate enough to have secured a ticket entered the ground in optimistic and expectant mood as they took their seats in the burgeoning new-look stadium, eager to usher in a new era on the field to match their new surroundings off it.
The 'Green and White Army' sang along to their usual repertoire of familiar favourites blasted out by the stadium tannoys and generated the customary intimidating atmosphere for those visiting the south Belfast ground.
There was an air of anticipation that success was finally on the horizon after decades spent inventing new fashions of self-deprecating humour during the long barren years, which saw campaigns invariably end in failure virtually before they had started.
There was a larger than usual media presence - similar to that which was in attendance exactly 10 years ago to the day on that that memorable night when David Healy's goal saw off a star-studded England outfit - betraying the fact that much more was at stake than has been the case for a long time on match nights at Windsor Park.
The home crowd was plunged into gloom however when Michael McGovern's howler gifted the visitors the opening goal and a night which promised much seemed to be descending into one of frustration and disappointment, until chief talisman Lafferty transformed the atmosphere with his seventh goal of the campaign, simultaneously ending a run of five consecutive clean sheets for the visitors.
The majority of the 10,000 fans inside the partially reconstructed stadium erupted and the small but vocal band of Hungarians housed in one corner of the ground finally fell silent.
"You've got to hand it to this Northern Ireland side. There was only one team in it in the second half but they stuck to their task and reaped the rewards," former Northern Ireland defender John O'Neill told BBC Radio Ulster listeners at the end of the game.
"It was a real rollercoaster tonight but this group of players have a never-say-die spirit which has served them well throughout this campaign and will hopefully continue to do so until the end. We never do things the easy way and this was another one where you couldn't have written the script."
One seasoned spectator, who has been attending international games for almost 55 years, remained confident throughout, even after a nervy second half which also saw midfielder Chris Baird controversially sent-off.
"I thought we were the better team and deserved at least a point. Kyle Lafferty rescued us again - he has been immense throughout this campaign," observed Bill Hopkins from Comber.

"I've only missed four games at Windsor Park since 1961 and I'll go to Helsinki for the party if it ends up coming down to the final game," he added excitedly.
Holywood man Peter Johnson was only born when Northern Ireland graced the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico and relief was his primary emotion as the men in green edged closer to qualification.
"If we had lost, it could have dented the confidence in the squad, especially with three first-choice players missing for the next game through suspension.
"I've been supporting the team since I was 11 and I'm confident we can achieve that final push over the line against the Greeks. I was expecting the win tonight but we can wait," commented the 30-year-old.
So Michael O'Neill and his charges must wait for another few weeks to finish the job of etching their names into Northern Ireland footballing folklore by sealing a place at the European Championships at the 14th attempt.
Few would bet on next month's visit of the underperforming top seeds in Group F turning into a Greek tragedy, even in the absence of influential suspended trio Baird, Lafferty and Conor McLaughlin.
Harvey, 32, joined the club as first-team coach in 2008 and replaced Tony Gervaise as manager in February 2010.
She guided Arsenal to three consecutive league titles, two Continental Cups and one FA Women's Cup.
"I've had a wonderful four-and-a-half years and would like to thank everyone at the club for the fantastic support," she told the club's website.
"A special thanks must go to (general manager) Vic Akers for giving me the opportunity to manage this special club.
"It was always going to be a huge challenge taking over from such a legendary figure in the women's game but I've learnt so much from Vic and can't thank him enough for all that he's done for me."
Starting next March, Brussels Airlines will operate the service five times a week.
The announcement has been welcomed by Northern Ireland business leaders and tourism officials.

The new flights will operate on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
"On a weekly basis we will offer close to 1,000 seats on the route," Brussels Airlines chief commercial officer, Lars Redeligx said.
"Belfast is an important touristic, administrative and economic destination."
The airline is part of the Lufthansa Group.

More than 300 people died and about 30,000 had to leave their homes in parts of Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk.
In Hunstanton, Norfolk, 31 people died, 15 local people and four families from the United States. The 67th Air Rescue Squadron from the US was based at RAF Sculthorpe, just a few miles up the road.
Survivor Neil Quincy, a taxi driver at the time, said: "It wasn't like a river overflowing, it was like a raging sea.
"The first bungalow on the road, it went in through the front and took the whole back wall out, everything."
To this day, Mr Quincy, whose home was on higher ground in the town, is haunted by the belief that if a birthday party planned for his daughter had gone ahead, many children would not have drowned.
His eldest daughter's birthday was on 29 January and she was due to have a party two days later.
Mr Quincy said: "The weather was so rough on that day - gale force winds - and several of the children had colds, so my wife decided that they would postpone it and have it another night.
"Most of those kids that drowned would have been at that birthday party.
"My wife never forgot it to the day she died."
Many of the families whose children would have been at the party lived on South Beach Road, Hunstanton, which initially bore the brunt of the water.
Although Mr Quincy's house avoided the worst of the flooding his wife and three daughters still needed rescuing.
Mr Quincy, who had been working, made his way to the lower part of the town where the 67th Squadron were already on scene trying to help.
He managed to get on board a rescue vessel.
"It was pitch dark, gale blowing, the spray from the waves was like a handful of shingle in your face," he said.
"All of those who died were dead by eight o'clock that evening."
As the rescue boat reached Mr Quincy's bungalow, it was swamped by a wave, but he and the crew jumped to safety.
Mr Quincy, his wife, two girls and their nine-month-old son were eventually rescued by US Airman Reis Leming, who helped 27 people from the floods that night, and was awarded a George Medal for his bravery.
"I owe a debt of thanks to all of those people," said Mr Quincy.
"We were the only complete family that survived."

The 20-year-old forward is the first player to win the new award from the BBC World Service, voted for by football fans around the world.
She beat Spain's Veronica Boquete, German Nadine Kessler, Scot Kim Little and Brazilian Marta to the honour.
"I would like to say thank you to the BBC, to my fans around the world and to everyone who voted," she said.
The award is the first of its kind hosted by a global broadcaster.
Oshoala, who was the youngest player to be shortlisted, was the leading scorer at the Under-20s World Cup in Canada last summer and was voted the tournament's best player.
Her performances led Nigeria to the final, where they were narrowly beaten by Germany, and she was also a major influence in the senior Nigeria team who won the African Women's Championship in October.
That ensured their qualification for this summer's World Cup in Canada, which begins on 6 June with full coverage on the BBC.
Oshoala said the honour was a big lift for Nigeria before the World Cup and would help inspire young players in her homeland.
"It's a really good thing for us as a team because we now know that we have something great and now we want to go at the trophy," she said. "We can do it, we did it in 2014 we can also do it this year as well.
"There is going to be a lot of motivation for women's football in Nigeria now because of this award because there are a lot of fans out there.

"Support for women's football in Nigeria is now growing very high.
"I know my Liverpool Ladies coach is going to be happy right now. Before I left the UK he called me and said to me 'don't worry I hope you win the award and we're going to celebrate it when you come back'."
Oshoala signed for Liverpool Ladies in January 2015, becoming the first African to feature in the Women's Super League, with manager Matt Beard calling her "one of the world's top young footballers".
Mary Hockaday, controller of BBC World Service English, paid tribute to Oshoala.
"At still only 20, she's proved herself a formidable talent on the pitch," she said. "I'm proud BBC World Service is supporting the women's game and thrilled with the interest in the award."
Mr Obama made the comments in Senegal after meeting President Macky Sall on the first leg of his African tour.
Mr Sall said Senegal was a "very tolerant" country but it was "not ready to decriminalise homosexuality".
Homosexual acts are still a crime in 38 African countries, where most people hold conservative religious views.
In 2011, the US and UK hinted that they could withdraw aid from countries which did not respect gay rights.
Mr Obama said at a news conference that the issue did not come up in his discussions with Mr Sall.
Nevertheless, he believed that while different customs and religions should be respected, the law should treat everybody equally, he said.
By Thomas FessyBBC News, Dakar
While President Barack Obama's comments on gay rights may grab the headlines in the Western media, his Senegalese counterpart's response - "Senegal is not yet ready to decriminalise homosexuality" - may just be what many Senegalese wanted to hear.
As laws legalising gay marriage were being contested in the US and France recently, rumours spread in the West African country that President Macky Sall wanted to do the same. They sparked heated discussion in the local media which forced Mr Sall's administration to clarify its position that it would not legalise same-sex unions.
Many Senegalese are of the opinion that if Mr Obama came to "change" their mentality, he has had a wasted journey. Although Senegal is not one of Africa's aggressively homophobic nations, there have been cases of violent attacks against gay men and lesbians.
The fact that Mr Obama chose to visit Senegal will be what most Senegalese are likely to focus on - and the hope that this will attract more development money and investors.
Mr Obama welcomed the US Supreme Court's decision on Wednesday to strike down a law that denied the recognition of same-sex marriages.
The ruling was a "victory for American democracy and a proud day for equal rights", he said
Mr Sall said Senegal was still not ready to change its laws, but that "does not mean we are homophobic''.
This is Mr Obama's third visit to Africa since he became president in 2008.
He is also due to travel to South Africa and Tanzania.
Africa had made "amazing" strides in achieving democracy, Mr Obama said.
Senegal, a mainly Muslim country which has never experienced a coup, was one of America's "strongest partners" on the continent, he added.
"It's moving in the right direction with reforms to deepen democratic institutions, and as more Africans across this continent stand up and demand governments that are accountable and serve the people, I believe Senegal can be a great example," Mr Obama said.
Goree: Senegal's slave island
Mr Obama, along with his wife Michelle and children, was due to travel by ferry to Senegal's Goree Island, a memorial to Africans who were caught up in the Atlantic slave trade.
"A visit like this by an American president, any American president, is powerful," said White House spokesman Jay Carney ahead of the trip.
"I think that will be the case when President Obama visits and I'm sure particularly so, given that he is African American."
On Sunday, Mr Obama is expected to visit Robben Island, where South Africa's first black president Nelson Mandela was jailed for 18 of the 27 years he spent in prison, on the second leg of his African tour.
However, it is unclear whether the visit will take place because of Mr Mandela's deteriorating health, correspondents say.
Mr Obama is due to end his African tour with a visit to Tanzania, where he will pay his respects at a memorial outside the US embassy in the main city, Dar es Salaam, in honour of 11 people killed in a bombing by al-Qaeda in 1998.
He has excluded from his itinerary Kenya, where his father was born, and Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer which has been hit by an Islamist insurgency.
US officials reportedly said the indictment of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta at the International Criminal Court on charges of fuelling violence after the 2007 election, which he denies, made it politically impossible for Mr Obama to visit the country.
Martyn Hett was one of 22 people who died when Salman Abedi detonated a homemade bomb at an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May.
Antony Cotton, Jennie McAlpine, Kym Marsh and Helen Worth all paid their respects to the 29-year-old Corrie fan.
His family said the service at Stockport Town Hall was to "celebrate Martyn's life".
They said he had requested two horses and a white carriage at his funeral, and that was what they gave him.
The coffin was adorned with pictures of Corrie characters - including his favourite Deirdre Barlow, of whom he had a tattoo on his leg - and the Coronation Street sign.
It was greeted by a minute's applause before it was taken into the building to the tune of Beautiful by Mariah Carey.
During the service, which was screened outside for those who could not fit into the venue, Martyn's father, Paul, told how the family's "world was instantly turned upside down" from the moment they were told their son was missing.
He spoke of Martyn's life as "one long rollercoaster ride". He had a "wicked sense of humour" and a gift for "turning the ordinary into the extraordinary".
For a man who lived his life with such infectious joy, it seems fitting that his funeral should have been filled with such bittersweet celebration.
At the time of Martyn's death, his partner Russell said he had "left this world exactly how he lived, as the centre of attention".
Most people were dressed in the customary black but, as Martyn had asked, many added "something fabulous" to their outfits - including brightly-coloured flowers - in tribute to his own quirky style.
As well as deeply sad words from Martyn's father, Paul, humorous videos were shown from Martyn's life, and there were affectionate anecdotes and music from his favourite stars.
Gareth Clements, his boss at the PR firm he worked for, prompted raucous laughter as he told how Martyn was constantly lobbying for more money in the company's social budget, and was known to often attend the office wearing shorts.
There were more smiles as Scottish singer Michelle McManus told how Martyn once travelled for 23 hours on a Megabus to see her perform.
At times it was almost easy to forget why everyone was there.
For those present, the brightest personality was taken away on the darkest of nights.
During the day the hashtag #BeMoreMartyn - a tribute to him - started trending on Twitter, including one from his brother, Dan.
Ross Purves wrote: "We can all take a lesson from Martyn Hett: Be who you are, live life to the full and be fabulous! #bemoremartyn "
Another said: "Fly free, you beautiful, iconic diva. #BemoreMartyn"
The service featured music from Martyn's favourite stars, including Scottish singer Michelle McManus, who spoke and sang at the service, and Ariana Grande.
Following the service, a private cremation was held for close friends and family.
Vasil Stoyanov, 30, was caught by Border Force officers with a lorry-load of the class A drug at Dover Eastern Docks in June 2015.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the haul was estimated to be worth £3m wholesale and £11m on the street.
Stoyanov, who had pleaded not guilty, was sentenced to 14 years in prison at Maidstone Crown Court on Friday.
Following an NCA investigation, a border force officer found 130g of the drug powdered and sealed in a plastic bag stuck to the inside wall of one of the shipment's 2,000 cardboard boxes.
A search of the lorry's load found 228 boxes had heroin inside concealed in the same way.
The shipment was addressed to Lizzy86 Ltd, Stoyanov's company which was exposed as a front.
Cambridgeshire police officers searched his home in Swinburne Close, Kettering, and a nearby lock-up.
They found cut open charcoal boxes and documents showing he had spent £66,000 on three large orders of charcoal for a return of £67.
His eBay account listed just two lots of charcoal for sale at £3.50 each.
Mark Harding, senior investigating officer at the NCA, said: "The seizure means serious organised criminals have lost out on a huge revenue stream and street-level dealers won't be able to endanger heroin users and the communities in which they live.
"It's also shut down a smuggling route that could have been used to bring any kind of dangerous commodity into the country."
The 10 men and one woman ran a driveway resurfacing company which used workers housed in caravans without running water or toilet facilities.
Their victims worked long hours to fund what police said was a "lavish lifestyle". One had worked for the family for 26 years.
The defendants will be sentenced in September.
Police began operations against members of the Rooney family in September 2014, when seven warrants were executed in Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and London.
A number of victims were found during the raids or were later traced and the UK Human Trafficking Centre concluded 18 men had been illegally trafficked to the sites.
Ch Supt Nikki Mayo said Lincolnshire Police was aware "through intelligence" the workers at two travellers sites were being kept in poor conditions and worked for little money.
"The extent of these conditions soon became apparent - the victims were accommodated in caravans without running water or access to toilet facilities," she said.
The victims were all described as vulnerable adults, aged between 18 and 63, who were often homeless and had been picked up by the defendants from across the UK.
Ch Supt Mayo said: "They were being completely exploited - working long hours on driveways and block paving for the family.
"They were not given training for the manual labour and although not physically trapped, they were financially, emotionally and physically abused making any escape seem impossible.
"This exploitation was illegally funding a lavish lifestyle for the defendants.
"While their 'labourers' were suffering, company profits helped to fund luxurious holidays to Barbados, Australia, Egypt and Mexico, the purchase of high performance BMWs, spa days and even cosmetic surgery."
She said the victims had become completely institutionalised and were only fed when they worked and at times that was restricted to the family's leftovers.
The investigation also found around £100,000 worth of stolen goods and that some members of the family had targeted elderly homeowners, getting them to sign over properties into their names.
A total of four trials relating to the 11 defendants took place between November 2016 and August 2017. Ten of the 11 were released on bail ahead of the sentencing.
Those convicted:
Two others, Eileen Rooney, 32, of Drinsey Nook, Sheffield Road, Saxilby and Nora Rooney, 31, of the same address, were both acquitted.
The move follows a "challenging year" for the Fife-based firm, which reported an operating loss of £2.4m for 2015.
Chairman David MacLellan said that from 1 April, he was deferring £25,000 of his £55,000 salary per year.
The two other non-executive directors are deferring £5,000 of their £30,000 salaries.
Kirkcaldy-based Havelock has been undertaking a major restructuring of its business since David Ritchie took over as chief executive last May.
Last year it shed more than 110 jobs - about 20% of its workforce - as part of efforts to "simplify" its structure in order to "make it more agile and better able to maximise the customer experience".
According to the company's annual accounts, Havelock saw sales from continuing operations fall by 11% in the year to £70.3m.
It blamed the fall on reduced UK retail activity and delayed public sector contracts.
The company reported exceptional costs of £1.9m in 2015, the bulk of which was accounted for by restructuring.
Mr MacLellan said current trading within the business was in line with market expectations, supported by an opening order book for delivery in the year of £25m.
He added: "Although the business is continuing to progress and diversify, it still retains a high dependence on second half orders which restricts our visibility for the full year outturn.
"The implementation of the revised strategy of simplifying the business and maximising the customer experience is continuing and the board believes that this strategy is strengthening our ability to identify and develop opportunities in our chosen markets."
Havelock specialises in furniture and interiors for the education, healthcare and commercial sectors.
Its client list has included high street brands such as Lloyds Banking Group, Marks and Spencer, Primark, Accessorize and House of Fraser.
In November the firm was hit by news that its largest financial services client, Lloyds Banking Group, planned to cut development and refurbishment spend in 2016.
It warned at the time that the move would have a "material" impact this year "before mitigating actions are undertaken".
Seghen Tesfarmariam Berhe - an Eritrean living in the Sudanese capital Khartoum - has spent the past two weeks desperate for news of her younger brother Medhanie Tesfarmariam Berhe who disappeared on 24 May after being arrested by Sudanese police.
On Wednesday she saw his photo on Facebook - alongside headlines about the arrest and extradition to Italy of a notorious people smuggler called Mered Medhanie - reportedly captured in a joint mission by British, Italian and Sudanese authorities.
"I saw it in Facebook, I was going [so] crazy I cried," she told the BBC.
She and other friends and relatives say it is a flagrant case of mistaken identity and an innocent man has been arrested.
"He's not Mered Medhanie, he's my younger brother [and] his name is Medhanie Tesfarmariam Berhe. We have been living for one year together here in Khartoum."
I ask her if she could be mistaken but she is adamant that is not the case.
"It's definitely my brother, I have been looking for him for two weeks. He is not a human trafficker, he is my brother.
"He doesn't do anything about smuggling. He doesn't know anything about that."
Seghen says that after she was told her brother Medhanie had been arrested, she tried to talk to the police in Sudan.
"I called the police but they said there is no person with that name. I have been searching for him for two weeks. They told me there is nobody with that name in prison. Then, all of sudden, I see him in Italy.
"I have been worried sick. I have been crying the whole two weeks. I did not know if he was alive or dead."
Mered Medhanie is alleged by Italian authorities to be a smuggling kingpin who trafficked thousands of people from Libya to Italy and northern Europe.
Nicknamed "The General" his operations have been linked to the deaths of hundreds of refugees and migrants who drowned off the coast of the Italian island of Lampedusa.
But Seghen says that her brother came to Sudan in March 2015 illegally as a refugee after fleeing Eritrea by travelling through Ethiopia. He was hoping to join another sister living in the US and to study and work there.
Officials have said the arrest was made on 24 May in Khartoum but it was only announced on Wednesday when an extradition to Italy was completed.
Seghen does not know what happened in the two weeks that he was held.
"I am worried," she said. "I have been worried if they interrogate him or hit him or abuse him mentally."
Her voice chokes with tears as she talks about seeing the images of him being led off the plane in handcuffs.
"His photo… he looks awful. I feel sad to see him like that."
Italian authorities have said they still believe they have the right man. The British National Crime Agency has said it is too early to speculate on the claims that the wrong man has been arrested.
But a growing number of people have been saying that's exactly what happened.
The first to do so was Meron Estefanos - an Eritrean human rights activist and radio host based in Sweden. She has interviewed the real Mered Medhanie a number of times.
"I've received over 400 Facebook messages from people that know the person that's arrested, everyone is saying this is my friend, my childhood friend, he's just a refugee," she said.
She also said she had spoken to refugees who had met the real Mered Medhanie. All said the man arrested did not resemble him.
Seghen, for her part, is angry with the police.
"They should be investigating before they arrest him. The photos are different too," she says.
"The Sudanese police didn't inform me. They should be asking him if he has anybody to contact in Khartoum.
"[But] They didn't question him. If they questioned him he would've said my sister is here, my relatives and friends are here. We would've known where he was for two weeks.
"They wouldn't have taken him without knowing if he is innocent."
She appealed to British police to investigate whether the wrong man had been extradited.
"He is not a human trafficker, he is an innocent refugee," she insisted.
Another sister living in Norway, Hiwet Tesfarmariam Berhe Kidane, said she was hoping to be able to visit the man she believes is her brother.
"I am looking for the exact place he's being held so I can stand by his side. I want to go to my brother, to Italy," she said.
The FTSE 100 index closed down 56.3 points, or 0.9%, at 6,185.59.
A private survey suggested activity at China's factories contracted for the 14th month in a row in April.
Mining stocks fell sharply on the news. Shares in Anglo American dived 12.8%, Glencore fell 8% and BHP Billiton dropped 6.2%.
Shares in HSBC slipped 1.65% to 445.05p, reversing early gains, after the bank reported a 14% fall in first-quarter profits.
The bank cited "extreme levels of volatility" in financial markets at the start of the year, although the decline in profit was not as bad as analysts had feared.
In the FTSE 250, shares in Just Eat jumped 4.9% to 402.3p after it raised its profit forecast.
The company said full-year operating profit was set to be £102m-£104m, against a previous estimate of £98m-£100m, after it increased the rate it charges restaurants. Revenue is now expected to be £358m, up from £350m.
Shares in Aberdeen Asset Management dropped 7.4% to 276.7p after the fund group reported a sharp fall in half-year profits as it continued to be affected by the downturn in emerging markets.
Pre-tax profits sank to £98.8m, down from £185.4m a year earlier.
On the currency markets, the pound fell after a UK manufacturing survey suggested the sector contracted last month for the first time in more than three years.
Against the dollar, the pound surrendered early gains to stand down 0.81% at $1.4555 and fell 0.68% against the euro to €1.2634.
Permission was given last May for St Catherine's Island, shut for nearly 40, to reopen as an attraction.
But Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority imposed conditions on the work to redevelop the landmark, which sits 330ft (100m) off the Tenby coast.
The owners appealed to the Planning Inspectorate and the inquiry will be held in March.
The island closed in 1978.
Officials say the falcons were brought from Qatar by a member of its royal family without proper documentation.
Members of Gulf royal families routinely bring in such falcons for hunting birds and other animals in Pakistan, with government sanction.
Wildlife officials say that some of the birds they hunt are 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, deny hunting any endangered species.
"The documentation provided by the embassy had permission for only 40 falcons," Qamaruddin Thalo, spokesman for the customs department told the BBC.
But the falcons actually numbered 114, 74 more than allowed, he said.
"We now have all the birds in custody and have asked the embassy to furnish an explanation in three days," the official said, adding that if an explanation was not given, a case would be "registered according to the law".
The falcons were being brought in at the start of the winter season, a time when bird migrations into southern Pakistan are at a peak.
Although locals are prohibited from hunting the birds, Arab sheikhs from the Gulf royal families are given special blanket licences to do so.
"Its something that's illegal and unprecedented elsewhere in the world," Dr Rab Nawaz, local representative of the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) told the BBC.
"But the Arabs sheikhs are allowed due to our 'special relationship' with them."
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 the licences are seen as being in Pakistan's national interest.
Brig Gen Mohammed Suleiman was shot by a sniper while at a beach resort near the Mediterranean port of Tartous.
Israel has never commented publicly on suspicions that it was involved.
But a document leaked to The Intercept website by American whistleblower Edward Snowden says Israeli naval commandos were behind the shooting.
Former US intelligence officers said its classification markings indicated the National Security Agency (NSA), for whom Mr Snowden worked as a contractor, had made the discovery through monitoring Israeli communications.
Arab media reported at the time of Suleiman's killing said he was shot in the head and neck by a sniper on board a yacht on the night of 1 August 2008 while he was having dinner at his beachfront home.
Some sources said Suleiman was President Bashar al-Assad top security aide; others that he served as Syria's "liaison" with the militant Lebanese Shia movement, Hezbollah.
A 2007 cable from the US embassy in Damascus, published by Wikileaks in 2010, described him as "special presidential adviser for arms procurement and strategic weapons".
Another cable, sent after Suleiman's assassination, said the officer enjoyed a reputation as having "special status and proximity to Bashar". He was believed to have "managed special projects for Assad, some of which may have been unknown to the broader Syrian military leadership", it added.
The cable also said "the most obvious suspects are the Israelis".
[Syrian government] security services are well aware that the coastal city of Tartous would offer easier access to Israeli operatives than would more inland locations such as Damascus," it explained.
On Wednesday evening, The Intercept published a top-secret entry in the NSA's internal version of Wikipedia, called Intellipedia, which appeared to confirm the embassy's suspicions.
"The assassination of Syrian Brigadier General Mohammed Suleiman by Israeli naval commandos near Tartous, Syria, was the first known instance of Israel targeting a legitimate government official," it states.
The entry is labelled as "SI", which according to the US intelligence classification manual means it is "technical and intelligence information derived from the monitoring of foreign communications signals".
Neither the NSA nor a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded to requests for comment, The Intercept said.
The Syrian government's investigation into Suleiman's death was redirected after $80m in cash was uncovered in his home, according to a 2009 US diplomatic cable. President Assad was said to be "devastated by the discovery" and wanted to find out "how the general acquired so much money".
Suleiman's death came less than six months after the assassination in Damascus of Hezbollah's military chief, Imad Mughniyeh, in what is now believed to have been a joint operation by Israel's Mossad intelligence service and the US Central Intelligence Agency.
Inspectors found a "significant increase" in the severity of violence between boys at HMYOI Wetherby.
A report by HM Inspectorate of Prisons said officers had been punched and kicked repeatedly in the face and gangs of boys had attacked each other with weapons.
The watchdog said reducing the number of assaults should be a priority.
However, it added relationships between staff and prisoners was a strength and the site was resilient and well-led.
Michael Spurr from the National Offender Management Service said: "As the Inspectorate report makes clear, Wetherby manages a complex and challenging population.
"Tackling violence and providing a safe environment is the governor's top priority and we will use the recommendations in the report to support this work."
HMYOI Wetherby is a closed facility for up to 276 boys under the age of 18.
An inspection in January found there were 212 violent acts recorded in the previous six months, compared to 192 at its previous inspection in January 2014.
Natalya Garkovich, 43, was left in intensive care after sensors failed to register the strap and emergency brakes did not stop the train's advance.
The footage also shows train driver Gianluca Tonelli eating before driving away.
The incident is being investigated, but Mr Tonelli says he followed protocol.
"I know that I was wrong and I am devastated by what happened to that woman," Mr Tonelli told Italian daily Corriere della Sera [in Italian]. "But in the video it can also be seen that I looked twice in the mirror, I was not reckless."
Ms Garkovich, who local media report is a Belarusian national, was initially in intensive care, but her condition has since improved. Reports suggest she has broken bones from the accident.
The CCTV footage obtained by Corriere shows Ms Garkovich boarding the train at Termini station, before changing her mind at the last minute.
As she backs out of the train, her bag appears to become stuck - and despite the efforts of people on the platform, she cannot be freed.
Local news outlets report that passengers on board the train pulled a number of emergency levers, but were unsuccessful. It is believed Ms Garkovich was not pulled into the tunnel.
The first Mr Tonelli knew of the accident was when he pulled into the next station, according to reports.
The CCTV footage shows that Mr Tonelli was eating while the train was in the platform.
But Carlo Rienzi, president of consumer rights group Codacons, said the failure of both the door and emergency levers meant Mr Tonelli could not be fully to blame.
"The emergency systems on board must function properly," he said in a statement, "Therefore we consider it outrageous and offensive to say the train driver is entirely responsible, when you should thoroughly investigate the Rome subway security systems and their proper operation."
Meanwhile, Stefano Bottoni, national secretary of trade union Sul, said extra measures were needed to avoid a repeat of the accident.
"If the trains were equipped with cameras in the cockpit it might have been different," he told news agency Ansa (in Italian).
They seem like a disparate group, but what they have in common is that they all come from the North of England.
Rory Lewis's Northerners features a plethora of famous and less well-known faces, including - as you may have guessed - Sir Ian McKellen, actor Paul Barber, gymnast Beth Tweddle, Sir Patrick Stewart and the Army's Chief of the Defence Staff, General Sir Nicholas Houghton.
It is a formidable list and one which most studio photographers can only dream of shooting for one show.
Lewis - who spends most days photographing actors for headshots and models for portfolios - admits that, in the beginning, he would have counted himself in that dreaming group.
However, when he hit upon the idea for a show celebrating the North's finest, he decided he was not going to settle for second best.
"Right from the outset I felt I should aim for the top - rather than just photographing the local WAGs and mayors, I wanted to aim higher.
"I wanted Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench and John Hurt."
To that end, he began writing "hundreds of letters, letters upon letters" asking people to take part in the show and telling them it would be held in aid of children's charity Unicef, in the hope of giving them "an extra incentive to spare some time".
His breakthrough came when "one of the UK's most celebrated actors", Manchester-born David Warner, agreed to take part after "three emails, four letters and a great deal of perseverance".
"I had done my research and discovered that David was attending a convention in London, [so] I arranged for my letter to be placed directly in David's hand.
"After a week of waiting, David emailed me accepting my invitation. I was over the moon."
He says the shoot ended up being "hugely memorable" and "opened a lot of doors for me", though it was a nerve-wracking experience.
"David revealed that he had an aversion to having his picture taken and that he hadn't sat for a professional studio photo shoot since 1966.
"The last photographer he had worked with was Cecil Beaton, and prior to that Lord Snowdon and David Bailey.
"I took a big gulp and felt the pressure flow down my throat: those were big names to follow."
He said after offering "a little direction, David took over with some remarkable expressions" and he ended up with a portrait he was "really pleased with".
He had a right to be - the portrait has since been accepted by the National Portrait Gallery for their permanent collection, giving what Lewis says is "a historic dimension" to the work.
Following that shoot, more positive responses arrived, which meant Lewis travelling away from his Liverpool and Manchester studios to get his shots.
Two of the biggest names on his list were Sir Patrick Stewart, who was born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, and Sir Ian McKellen, who grew up in the coal-mining town of Wigan.
"Many of these big names started in the North but now live across the globe.
"When I wrote to Sir Patrick and Sir Ian, they were at the Cort Theatre in New York performing Waiting for Godot.
"They initially replied saying they had little time to spare.
"I sent a reply mentioning it wouldn't take long and that it would mean a great deal - after a few letters, they finally came round and said yes and I flew to New York to take the shots."
Not every face in the exhibition is a famous one - included are the likes of Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson and the city's Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Vasily Patrenko - but Lewis says it was important to get a mix.
"I wanted to show all those people who make up the fabric of the North - that includes those involved in the day-to-day running of government and those who represent the North of England."
Putting Gandalf the Grey alongside the Lord Mayor of Liverpool and Captain Jean-Luc Picard next to a Manchester councillor, he has certainly shown just how rich and varied that fabric is.
Northerners is on show at Calumet Photography in Manchester from 21 October to 21 November and at Calumet Photographic in London from 24 November to 2 January.
Scottish Water has operated the plant at Ardersier for years but said improvements were needed because of new housing and to protect sealife.
Residents of the Moray Firth village oppose the expansion and want other sites to be considered for a new plant.
Mirren has issued a statement supporting their campaign.
The star of movies The Queen and RED married her husband, American film director Taylor Hackford, in a ceremony in Ardersier Parish Church in 1997.
They had been staying at nearby Castle Stuart at the time.
In her statement, she said: "It is with absolute horror that I heard about the proposed sewage plant at Ardersier.
"This is a small and authentic community, rooted in the landscape and the sea. The people of Ardersier have lived there for generations, quietly getting on with their lives, working within the environment.
"Ardersier is not one of the famed beauty spots of Scotland; if it were, there would rightly be a huge outcry against this plan.
"However, Ardersier is as important to the history and beauty of Scotland as Loch Lomond or Fort William or any of the great tourist attractions, because Ardesier is quietly where the real Scotland is."
Locals opposed to the project have concerns about smell from the plant and believe that there are more suitable sites for it.
Scottish Water said it was investing more than £11m in "a package of essential improvement projects", which includes the upgrading and enhancement of the current waste water treatment works at Ardersier.
Director of strategic customer service planning Simon Parsons said: "We are required to carry out some upgrades to protect and enhance the environment of the Moray Firth, particularly for the benefits of dolphins in the water.
"There is also expected to be significant housing and economic growth in the area served by the facility in the years ahead."
He added: "These improvements were planned thoroughly and in discussion with different agencies, prior to community engagement activity which took place before planning permission was obtained in 2011 for the treatment works upgrade.
"The economic situation has changed - and we now need to make sure the required waste water infrastructure is in place to meet the demands of new development, as well as to protect and enhance the environment."
Mr Parsons said that before going ahead with the upgrade Scottish Water was "talking to the community, listening to their views".
"I don't like the way the world is going and I've got grandchildren... In fact I've got seven of them," says the 78-year-old retiree.
A proud environmentalist deeply concerned about climate change, Mr Boulton has travelled a few miles down the road from his new eco home - built from scratch in the village of Mickleton in the Cotswolds - to admire his latest investment.
He was fascinated by the opportunity both "to get the community involved and to make a genuine difference to local wildlife. And I couldn't talk to people the way I do without [putting my money where my mouth is].
The financial payback, he says, was "simply a bonus".
But what a bonus. Mr Boulton and his wife Sonia are earning 7% interest a year on their £6,000 investment, more than twice the best equivalent available on the High Street, currently 3%.
Last week, they received their first interest payment, and both couldn't be happier they decided to take a punt on something a little out of the ordinary.
For this investment is rather unusual - row upon row of high tech solar panels spreading out over 23 acres, quietly harvesting the sunlight on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Willersey. If you didn't know it was there, you would miss it.
The solar farm is part of the Big60Million community energy project, which has three further farms in Kent, Warwickshire and Stratford-upon-Avon, with planning permission secured for a fourth in Swindon.
Working so closely with local communities, which has become central to the company's ethos, came about largely by chance. Big60 boss Toddington Harper was passionate about the benefits of solar power and felt the Willersey farm, with its poor soil unsuitable for growing crops, was the perfect site.
A very small but vocal group of locals, he says, had other ideas. Soon the Daily Mail was running a story headlined "Hands off our views", talking about German invasions thanks to Big60's solar partner Belectric, headquartered in Bavaria.
"We just thought 'this is not right, what we are trying to do is a good thing'," says Mr Harper. When he finally spoke with the main opponent of the farm, everything became clear.
"'What's in it for me?' was her simple message, so we took that on board and thought, 'let's make everything in it for her'."
Simplicity was key, so the company devised its five-year solar bond, each costing £60 and paying a fixed annual rate of 7%. The electricity from the 4MW farm - producing enough power in one year to meet the demands of 1,100 homes - is sold into the National Grid to generate 40% of the return, with the remaining 60% coming from government subsidies, which are guaranteed for 20 years.
With new subsidies falling, the solar bonds launched for the latest farms offer 6% interest, with the split closer to 50/50. But Mr Harper says longer term, thanks in large part to the falling cost of solar panels, the business model will not rely on government support.
"I look forward to the day we have no subsidies," he says. "Within five years I think we can work without them." Much will depend on the cost of panels.
The Willersey bond offer raised £4m in two months from hundreds of individual investors, with 20% being bought by local residents. The rest came on the back of adverts in the national press.
Many were not interested in the environmental benefits of the farm, but simply wanted a good cash return. As investor Mike Scowan from Towcester near Northampton says: "Where else are you going to get 7%? You won't get it at the bank or building society and the returns on ISAs are pretty miserable".
He's so pleased with his solar bond he's thinking about investing more next time round.
Seasoned private investor Dr Geoffrey Taylor from Cheltenham is equally delighted. He was attracted both by the interest rate and by the fact the bond was underpinned by a guaranteed government subsidy, not to mention a share of the farm's assets should the company get into trouble. To him, the solar bond is just another investment - so much so in fact that last week's interest payment came as something of a surprise. "I had completely forgotten about it," he says.
But Big60Million is about much more than money. Only 5% of Willersey solar farm's ground is covered by the infrastructure needed to support the solar panels, which means the vast majority of the land is given over to encourage biodiversity. Conservation experts Flowerscapes were brought in to advise on plant and wildlife in an attempt to make better use of the low grade soil, with more than £10,000 spent on wildflowers alone, according to Mr Harper.
Local beekeepers built hives to boost dwindling bee populations, while various bird and bat boxes, as well as habitats for insects and reptiles, have been placed across the farm to give wildlife the chance to flourish. Local schools also visit the farm so children can learn about the benefits of clean energy.
And this is just beginning. Big60 plans to install energy storage batteries on the site at the beginning of next year, the next step towards making the local community energy independent. Currently, all the power generated by the farm is sold to the grid, but there is no reason why in the future the electricity cannot go directly into local homes and businesses.
Infrastructure is a major barrier, but "within the next five years I think we'll work out a way to do it", says Mr Harper. This would probably involve doing a deal with the local network provider.
In the meantime, the company has big plans to build more solar farms. "Our vision is that each town and village in the country should have something similar [to Willersey]," Mr Harper says.
In fact, Big60Million is at the forefront of a fundamental shift in the way that energy is generated and distributed in the UK. Indeed the government estimates there are already 5,000 community energy projects in the country, which could generate up to 15% of the country's total renewable electricity generation by 2020. The potential is huge - in Germany, community energy already makes up more than 40% of renewable output.
Back in Willersey, the investors are more preoccupied with enjoying a perfect spring day.
Gazing out over the glistening farm, soaking up the blazing sun and breathing clean fresh air, peaceful but for the quiet hum of bees buzzing and birds chirping, Dr Taylor's wife Patty has seen the future, and she likes it.
"It makes you feel very good," she says.

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority aims to build at least 225,000 homes over the next 20 years.
But Denton and Reddish Labour MP Andrew Gwynne and Tory MP for Bolton West Chris Green have vowed to fight plans to use some green belt land in parts of the scheme.
A draft report on the scheme said the use of some green belt was "essential".
The plans, known as the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework, are to be discussed by the combined authority's 10 council leaders on Friday before the launch of consultation.
Mr Gwynne agreed there was a need for housing growth but is sceptical about the figures.
"It appears to be an open book for developers to pick and choose the most favourable sites to develop and those are very often in the green belt," he said.
"What really worries me is this green belt grabbing exercise will do nothing to spearhead the regeneration of urban parts of Greater Manchester that actually need the level of investment to ensure those communities continue to thrive."
Mr Green said he was opposing plans for 6,000 new homes near the M61.
He argued developers should make better use of existing brownfield sites and build more apartment blocks in town centres.
"We have to look at building up and having a higher population density... [which] makes it easier to walk to the shops and cycling around... and makes public transport far more viable."
Alex Ganotis leader of Stockport Council, which is part of combined authority, said it will do all it can to ensure the developments were done "in the right areas".
"We won't build in any of these areas unless we can demonstrate infrastructure will be provided such as schools, GP surgeries, roads, public transport to support this."
Natalia Wilkanowska, 50, disappeared in 2003 after visiting her ex-husband Gerald Doherty in Luton.
Joseph Doherty, 73, of Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire, pleaded guilty at Luton Crown Court to perverting the course of justice.
He was sentenced to three months in prison, suspended for 12 months.
Ms Wilkanowska was killed by her ex-husband Gerald Doherty in 2003 and her body left under a pile of rubble in the back garden of a house in Icknield Way, Luton.
Mr Doherty travelled to Scotland to speak to his older brother Joseph. He then committed suicide in July 2003.
Ms Wilkanowska's body was not found for another 12 years.
The charge stated that between 15 April 2003 and 2 December 2015, Joseph Doherty did a series of acts that "allowed Natalia's body to be hidden in the garden of the house and propagated a false account regarding the circumstances of her death".
Judge Michael Kay told Doherty it was "extraordinary" he lied to the police.
In January, Doherty had gone on trial with his brother Daniel.
He had denied one charge of perverting the course of justice, one of obstructing the coroner by giving a false account of her death and one charge of preventing her lawful burial.
The jury had been unable to reach verdicts and a retrial was ordered.
During that trial the judge had directed the jury to clear 67-year-old Daniel Doherty, who lived at the house in Icknield Way, Luton, where the remains were found. | A search for survivors is continuing at a building which collapsed in a suburb of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, killing at least 200 people.

Restaurant staff told the BBC they did not know who had removed the letters.
The NKVD was the forerunner of the Soviet KGB secret police. In the 1930s and 1940s the NKVD arrested millions of people and many were executed.
The restaurant sports a big portrait of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
Stalin's image also featured on the restaurant's menus, but when the BBC visited on Tuesday the barman said the management had told the staff to remove the menus "for now until we get the sign back".
"Look at the wall, the sign was just ripped off," he said, without giving his name.
The restaurant is not far from the Kremlin and the old secret police headquarters, on Ostozhenka Street.
The controversy over the "NKVD" name featured in Russian Vesti TV news - one of the main broadcasts on the state-controlled Rossiya 24 channel.
Restaurant staff told the BBC that the letters stood for "national cuisine of a great power" in Russian - not for Stalin's secret police.
The barman strongly defended the "NKVD" name.
"I really hope we put it back. Why not? People ask us why NKVD, but why not? It's NKVD and not Gestapo," he said.
But some Russians voiced alarm at what appeared to be more whitewashing of history and an insult to Stalin's many victims.
Public displays of Stalin portraits were taboo in the last decades of the Soviet Union - but they have reappeared in President Vladimir Putin's Russia.
Mr Putin has emphasised the sacrifices made by the USSR in World War Two. But he has also acknowledged that Stalin's security apparatus committed terrible crimes.
The NKVD name was possibly an ill-conceived publicity stunt, says the BBC's Sarah Rainsford in Moscow.
The sign caused a stir when human rights lawyer Mark Feygin tweeted a photo of it on 9 December.
Leonid Gozman, of the Russian civil society organisation, Perspektiva Foundation, said "it's a rehabilitation of our country's most tragic episodes.
"I can't imagine a 'Gestapo' restaurant in Munich or Berlin... A lot of our people consider the NKVD to have been a criminal organisation. Many people's relatives suffered or died [in that period]."
One Russian Facebook user, called Therese Philosophe, gave details of four Soviet terror victims who had lived at the address where the restaurant now stands.
Figures from the Labor Department showed the US economy created 178,000 jobs in November, while the jobless rate fell to 4.6% from 4.9% in October.
The data adds to recent evidence of healthy growth in the economy, although wage growth was weaker than expected.
Most analysts think the Federal Reserve will raise rates at its next meeting.
"This was the last hurdle on the path to a December hike, and it has been cleared convincingly," said Luke Bartholomew, investment manager at Aberdeen Asset Management.
"It is now incredibly hard to imagine what would stop the Fed from going [for a rate rise]."
The Federal Reserve will hold its next two-day policy meeting on 13-14 December.
Last month, the chair of the Fed, Janet Yellen, indicated that the US central bank could raise interest rates "relatively soon", adding that the US economy was "making very good progress".
Recent figures indicated that the US economy grew at an annual pace of 3.2% in the third quarter of the year.
The US economy has been creating jobs at an average of 180,000 jobs a month this year, although that is down on the average of 229,000 recorded in 2015.
Despite November's robust jobs figures, earnings grew by less than expected. Average hourly earnings fell 0.1% from the month before, and that reduced the annual increase in wages to 2.5% from 2.8% in October.
The job creation figures for September and October were also revised, with the latest estimates indicating that 2,000 fewer jobs were added in the two months than previously thought.
Before these figures the markets were pretty clear about what they think the Federal Reserve will do when it meets later this month; it will raise interest rates. The jobs numbers have further reinforced that expectation.
It was a pretty robust figure for job creation, well ahead of economists' estimates of what is needed to keep up with a growing population.
Also striking was a decline of 220,000 in the number who are working part-time for economic reasons. This is another measure of what economists call "slack in the labour market" that the Fed has been watching, because it thinks the unemployment rate doesn't tell the whole story about job problems. A decline in the number of part-timers suggests some more of the "slack" being taken up.
The marked decline in the unemployment rate is a little misleading. It partly reflects people who are no longer looking for work - they are counted as "not in the labour force" rather than unemployed. That said, this is a rather strong report.
His mother was able to catch him before he fell when she took him to the toilet on the Totnes Riverside to Buckfastleigh train in Devon.
Investigators said the floor had been removed for repairs to the carriage's brakes but had not been replaced.
South Devon Railway (SDR), which runs the steam train, said it is taking the investigation "extremely seriously".
More on the missing train floor and other Devon news
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) said the 13:00 BST train was running between Staverton and Buckfastleigh on the South Devon Railway when the mother took her child to the toilet in the fourth carriage on 22 June.
The train was travelling at about 20mph (32 km/h) when they opened the door and saw the floor of the compartment was missing, exposing the carriage wheels below.
She reported the matter to the train guard and the door was locked.
The mother and child were left shocked and the boy suffered minor bruising.
Staff had previously placed a notice on the door and tried to secure it to prevent it being opened, but those measures were not effective, the RAIB said.
Its investigation, which will look at the repairs to the carriage, the adequacy of the measures to secure the door and the railway's systems for assuring the safety of rolling stock in service, will be published in due course.
An investigation has also been launched by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
A registered charity, SDR is a seven-mile former Great Western Railway branch line which runs steam trains and heritage rolling stock as a tourist attraction.
In a statement, SDR apologised and said: "On the day in question, something clearly went wrong with our safety control and hazard monitoring systems as evidenced by the incident having taken place - it simply should not have happened."
Missiles reportedly hit two tents in a village near the Red Sea port of Mocha, where a man linked to the Houthi rebel movement was celebrating his marriage.
But the Saudi-led coalition that has been bombing the rebels for six months denied responsibility for the attack.
The UN condemned "the disregard shown by all sides for human life" in Yemen.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stressed that there was no military solution to the conflict and its continuation would only bring more human suffering and destruction.
Some 5,000 people, including 2,355 civilians, have been killed in air strikes and fighting on the ground since 26 March, when Houthi fighters and allied army units forced Yemen's internationally recognised president to flee the country.
Last week, Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi returned to the southern port city of Aden, where his government has set up a temporary base as southern militiamen and coalition forces press northwards towards the rebel-held capital, Sanaa.
Residents of the village of Wahijah said that in Monday's attack, missiles fired by coalition warplanes tore into two tents at the wedding reception.
Yemeni security sources confirmed to the Associated Press that there had been an air strike and a senior government official said it had been "a mistake".
But a coalition spokesman vehemently denied it was behind the attack. A spokesman said: "There have been no air operations by the coalition in that area for three days. This is totally false news."
Initial reports said at least 40 people were killed in the incident, many of them women and children.
But on Tuesday morning, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR) said 130 or more people were now reported to have died.
A medical source at a hospital in Maqbana, where the casualties were taken, also told the Reuters news agency that the death toll had risen to 131.
"If the numbers are as high as suggested, this may be the single deadliest incident since the start of the conflict," UNHCR spokesman Rupert Colville said.
Mr Colville said almost two-thirds of the civilian deaths reported in Yemen over the past 12 months had allegedly been caused by coalition air strikes.
The UN has also criticised the coalition's naval blockade of Yemen's seaports, which it says has greatly exacerbated the "extremely dire" humanitarian situation.
Some 21 million people, or 80% of the population, now require some form of humanitarian assistance and almost 1.5 million people are internally displaced.
The hosts needed 47 runs from the final four overs, but got home with a ball to spare to chase a revised target of 161 off 18 overs and win by three wickets.
Stephen Parry hit an unbeaten 22 from nine balls and pulled the winning boundary off Shiv Thakor.
Derbyshire earlier made 132-2 from 21.3 overs when rain halted their innings.
The home side took 39 from the first four overs, but were halted by the leg-spin pair of Jeevan Mendis (2-38) and Matt Critchley (1-23), along with the impressive medium pace of Thakor (3-23).
As wickets fell at regular intervals, Lancashire looked to be out of the game with four overs to go, but Steven Croft (26 not out) and Ryan McLaren (16) took 15 from Mendis' final over.
When McLaren and Haseeb Hameed fell in the next over, Lancashire required 24 from two.
It was then that Derbyshire fell apart. Croft was dropped at third man by Mendis off the bowling of Hardus Viljoen, a Ben Cotton mis-field at square leg gave Parry a boundary, with two fielders colliding at third man to hand Parry four more. In all, 17 came from the over.
And though Thakor had nailed his yorkers all evening, he could not prevent Parry from completing the job at a partisan Stanley Park.
Thakor earlier made 38 on a frustrating, wet afternoon that was illuminated by the cover drives of Derbyshire opener Ben Slater.
Slater hammered 60 as Derbyshire looked well placed for a big total in an innings already reduced to 36 overs, with the rain arguably giving Lancashire a more manageable chase on the DLS method.
Their victory means they will definitely make the quarter-finals if they win their last two games, while Derbyshire are all but out.
The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) said it had received a complaint from solicitors after the photograph was published in December.

.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's main home is on Anglesey, where he is a search and rescue pilot at RAF Valley.
The
complaint
was made under clauses in the editors' code of practice relating to privacy and harassment.
The magazine said: "In our issue cover-dated 3 - 9 December 2011, we published a photograph of the Duchess of Cambridge, taken while she was shopping in a store.
"We now accept that we should not have done so, and apologise to her for our actions."
It will be printed in its edition for 26 May - 1 June.
Acts including The Saturdays, Union J, Tich, and Luminites took part in the event at RAF Northolt in west London on Thursday evening.
Organisers at the Royal British Legion said military families were at the heart of the appeal for 2013.
The Duchess of Cornwall also visited The Poppy Factory in Richmond, south-west London, where poppies are made.
Ahead of her visit, The Poppy Factory announced that the duchess would become its patron.
The duchess was tasked with assembling one of the millions of poppies which are handmade by disabled veterans at the factory for Remembrance Day events.
She found putting a poppy together "quite fiddly work", before helping put the finishing touches to a wreath which will be laid at a memorial by her husband, the Prince of Wales, on Remembrance Sunday.
The charity's chief executive Melanie Waters said: "The patronage of the duchess will help us to continue this work and to highlight the increasing need to support our disabled veterans into meaningful civilian employment."
The Poppy Factory uses its expertise to help disabled veterans into work with many businesses throughout the UK.

L/Cpl Cassidy Little, 32, of 42 Commando Royal Marines, is among those due to attend the concert.
He benefitted from a theatre project supported by the Royal British Legion after he lost his lower right limb in an IED explosion in Afghanistan in May 2011.
He said: "The theatre project funded by the Royal British Legion was a turning point in my recovery.
"While the medical teams put my body back together, taking part in the play gave me back my self-esteem and confidence when it was at its lowest ebb."
George Shelley, of X Factor boy band Union J, and who has a brother serving in the Royal Marines, said the poppy was a "symbol of pride".
Royal British Legion fundraising director Charles Byrne said: "We support the entire armed forces community past and present, but families are at the heart of the Poppy Appeal in 2013.
"We recognise the strength of mothers, fathers, partners and kids in armed forces families, who serve alongside their loved ones every single day and often need practical care and advice too.
"We're encouraging people to dig deep for the Poppy Appeal so we can continue providing this vital support to individuals whether they're still serving, transitioning back to civilian life or have left the services, but importantly to their dependents too."
The Poppy Appeal in Scotland was launched by Craig and Charlie Reid from The Proclaimers in Edinburgh on Wednesday.
The government announced the dismissals after a report identifying mistakes by poorly trained pilots as the main cause of the crash.
Then-President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and 94 senior officials died when the jet tried to land in heavy fog.
The air force regiment responsible for VIP flights was also disbanded.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he was determined to quickly implement the report's recommendations, which heavily criticised the 36th Special Air Transport Regiment.
It had lacked training facilities and instructors and its pilots were continually overworked and had been trained in a hasty and haphazard manner, the report said.
Three air force generals were dismissed along with 10 other military officers.
Czeslaw Piatas, the deputy defence minister who resigned, is an army general.
"For some people this will be an earthquake, for others it will be the end of their careers," AP news agency quoted Mr Tusk as saying.
The Tupolev Tu-154 airliner crashed just short of the runway in Russia's Smolensk region after it hit trees in heavy fog.
Those on board included officials spanning the country's military and political elite.
They had been on their way to a memorial for the victims of Katyn, where thousands of Polish officers were massacred by Soviet forces in 1940.
The report said the pilots had been flying too low and too fast and had ignored repeated automated warnings to "pull up".
Air controllers and poor lighting at Smolensk were also at fault, it said.
Immediately after the report's publication, Bogdan Klich resigned as Poland's defence minister.
Pilots and other personnel from the disbanded regiment will be transferred to other air force units.
Poland's civilian national carrier, Lot, will now be responsible for VIP flights, Mr Tusk said.
Dr Fosters Restaurant in the city has made the dish using eels from Canada as they are a protected species in the UK.
The centuries-old tradition has seen pies made in distinctive shapes, such as a cathedral in 2012 to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
This year's pie was also shaped as a cathedral but, according to the baker, also reflected the city's diversity.
Restaurant owner Dawn Melvin, said: "I think we're a multi-cultural city, I think this represents everyone in the city - not just the cathedral but every ethnic part of the community which is important to us."
Mayor of Gloucester, councillor Sebastian Field said: "We're pleased to send the lamprey pie with our warmest wishes and our grateful thanks for Her Majesty's long and devoted service to our nation."
Lampreys are an ancient and primitive group of jawless vertebrates and have long, eel-like bodies that lack scales.
At about 17:30 BST Queen Elizabeth will have reigned for 23,226 days, 16 hours and approximately 30 minutes - 63 years and seven months, surpassing Queen Victoria's record.
The pie was presented to the Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire Dame Janet Trotter by the city mayor, councillor Sebastian Field on Wednesday morning.
A frozen pie will be taken to London on Thursday.
Dame Janet said the dish was a "great delicacy" which is sent to the monarch on "great occasions".
"It looks absolutely fantastic. It took 30 hours to make", she said adding the lampreys are "curious and horrible" creatures.
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.
Labour has a single seat on the council - gaining Booker/Cressex & Castlfield from the Conservatives.
The Conservative share of vote this year is 53.1% compared to 41% in 2013.
The Lib Dem percentage of the vote has risen from 14.9% to 18.6%.
Turnout in the Buckinghamshire election was 34.8%.
In the 2013 election, UKIP and Aylesbury was one of the big stories as they gained five seats in the town to become the official opposition party in Buckinghamshire.
Four years later, the remaining UKIP councillors have lost their seats.
Leader Andy Huxley and Chris and Brian Adams have been defeated, along with Phil Gomm who went independent in 2015 but stood again for UKIP this time.
Paul Irwin, who also crossed the floor from UKIP in 2015, has retained his seat in Stone and Waddesdon for the Conservatives.
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.
A man and woman, aged 21 and 23, was plucked from a red Ford Fiesta on in Alum Rock Road. They have been detained on suspicion of preparing for terrorist acts.
Five homes and a business were searched in the city as part of the planned operation, West Midlands Police said.
The arrests are unrelated to last week's attack in Westminster.
Eyewitnesses captured police on camera bringing a man down to the floor.
The footage seemed to show several armed officers swoop in, causing traffic to come to a standstill.
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.
The officers first came across three naked bodies by the side of a road near the town of Emiliano Zapata on Sunday.
As they searched the area they found plastic bags containing three more bodies in an advanced state of decay.
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!"

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.

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.

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.

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. | A Moscow restaurant calling itself "NKVD" - a chilling echo of the Stalin-era communist terror - drew social media protests and the big sign outside has now been taken down.

Stormont's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) says NI doctors tend to prescribe more expensive branded medicines.
It says costs for prescription drugs in the rest of the UK have fallen, but those in NI have increased.
An estimated £73m could have been saved if NI GPs prescribed medicines in line with colleagues in Wales, it said.
The report also said around £54m could be generated if average prescribing costs were reduced by 10%.
The PAC says GPs have gone some way to achieve savings in the past four years, but they had little incentive to consider costs as they fell to the Health and Social Care Board.
The committee has criticised the Department of Health for "refusing to accept" that it was possible to do cost comparisons with England, Scotland and Wales for drug costs, describing this as "disheartening".
It also says it is unacceptable that the department has failed to reach agreement with pharmacists on a revised contract for payments.
If this had been done, more than £45m would have been released for patient services, says the PAC.
It believes the system for reimbursing pharmacists is vulnerable to fraud, with the risk of cheaper generic drugs being dispensed when a doctor has actually prescribed a more expensive medicine.
The PAC says the department's decision not to use devolved powers to get information from medicines contractors is "flawed" and a solution should be reached urgently.
Primary care prescribing costs in Northern Ireland are £460m a year - around 10% of all health and social care expenditure.
Health Minister Jim Wells said his department would consider the PAC's findings in the context of "ongoing efforts to ensure that proper procedures continue to be applied to the management of public funds and in delivering improved health and social care".
"Making comparisons with different jurisdictions is not always straightforward and whilst I acknowledge that the report has identified that further efficiencies may be possible, I welcome the Audit Office's acknowledgement that through the efforts of departmental and HSC staff the real terms cost of prescribing has reduced by 18% in the period from 2006 to 2013," he said.
"In the four-year period to 2013/14 the department, through the HSC, has delivered £132m in prescribing efficiencies.
"My department will continue to seek out further deliverable efficiencies through its ongoing engagement with the HSC Board, GPs, pharmacists and the pharmaceutical industry."
Mr Wells said a detailed memorandum of reply would be made by the Department of Finance and Personnel to the issues raised by the PAC and it would be inappropriate for him to comment further in advance.

Kirkbride, who played Deirdre for more than 40 years died in January aged 60.
The actress had been away from the screen for four months following her diagnosis with cancer.
In Wednesday night's episode, her on-screen husband Ken, played by Bill Roache is told of the devastating news by her friend Bev.
Her death will also be announced to the rest of Weatherfield's residents at a party planned for her homecoming at the Rovers Return.
A funeral service for her character will be shown on Monday night.
Kirkbride began in Coronation Street in 1972 as Deirdre Hunt.
In the 1980s, one of the soap's most famous storylines hinged on whether she would stay with Ken Barlow. She was married four times in the programme, twice to Ken.
The actress had previously taken a break from the show after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1993.
Following her death, Roache said Coronation Street had lost one of its "iconic characters".
"I feel Anne's loss so personally having worked closely with her for over 40 years. You always knew she was there because her laugh was never far away."
Sacha Dench is tracking the birds on their 7,000-mile (11,265 km) journey in a paramotor - a paraglider with a propeller strapped to her back.
She injured her knee while attempting to take-off from a field on Saturday.
Ms Dench hopes her endeavours will help find out why numbers of the birds have almost halved in Europe.
"My screams of pain were obviously heard quite some way away because in true Russian style an elderly couple suddenly appeared from the forest nearby and filled my pockets with cranberries that they'd picked - as they are good for the health and healing - and they wished me success on my travels," she said.
She added she had not broken anything but an MRI scan would reveal if there had been any tissue damage.
The conservationist, who works at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust headquarters in Slimbridge, said she was "looking forward" to catching up with the birds at the wetlands near St Petersburg and "further down the flyway".
"Injury is always a risk for para-motorists, just as it is for the swans, and we just hope that it won't hold me up for too long," she added.
Elliott Johnson, who was found dead on railway tracks in Bedfordshire, claimed he was bullied by Tory supporters.
His parents fought for his inquest to be widened to look at the culture in the party.
But, coroner Tom Osborne said: "I will not allow the inquest to be used as a tool for putting anyone on trial."
A pre-inquest review heard Mr Johnson could have suffered "inhuman or degrading" treatment at the hands of party members.
Live updates from Beds, Bucks and Herts here
A letter he wrote, found after his death, was read to Ampthill Coroner's Court, near Milton Keynes, during the hearing on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old wrote: "These past few weeks have been the most difficult of my life. I've failed in money, failed in life, failed in politics."
Mr Johnson made a complaint about bullying weeks before he was found dead in Bedfordshire in September.
Former parliamentary candidate Mark Clarke, who is at the centre of the allegations, which he denies, has been expelled from the party.
The case subsequently led to the resignation of former party co-chairman Grant Shapps.
Mr Osborne said it was "clearly a sad and tragic case", but emphasised "an inquest is not a trial".
"The purpose is not to determine whether the allegations of bullying set out in the letters left by Mr Johnson were true and I will not allow the inquest to be used as a tool for putting anyone on trial," he said.
"The purpose of an inquest is not to identify individual fault on the part of those involved. In deed it is expressly not concerned with apportioning blame or determining questions of fault."
The coroner added Mr Clarke will not be called as a witness at the inquest.
He said Mr Johnson has a history of self-harm and suicide attempts, but this appears to have had "little or no bearing" on his death.
"It is my view that it would clearly be going beyond the proper scope of this inquest to be calling members of the Conservative Party to inquire into what steps or measures they are taking to investigate the bullying allegations by a party member towards another party member," Mr Osborne said.
Mr Johnson's parents, who live in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, have decided not to participate in an internal review by the Conservative Party saying they fear it will be a whitewash.
In a statement released via lawyers, Ray Johnson said he was "not sure why" the coroner did not want to call Mr Clarke as a witness at his son's inquest.
However, he said he was pleased that Mr Osborne has said he will "keep an open mind in relation to any further information."
The defender suffered a groin injury during City's Champions League semi-final second-leg defeat to Real Madrid on Wednesday.

"It is difficult to know about the Euros without the diagnosis."
Thirty-year-old Kompany has suffered five separate injuries this season, playing just 22 matches out of a possible 57, but Pellegrini rejected accusations he had mismanaged the centre-back.
"Every time he was in the starting 11 he was fully fit," he said. "You can be sure of that."
Kompany's absence would be a blow to Belgium, who are grouped with Italy, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland at the Euros.
Chelsea's Eden Hazard is Belgium's vice-captain and has led the side in previous games when Kompany has been unavailable.
Prof Damian Bailey carried out research on 280 current and retired players.
The International Rugby Board (IRB) already accepts there could be a link between repetitive head injuries and long-term problems.
Prof Bailey's work is yet to be published but could be the first study suggesting a clearer link.
The IRB said it would not comment until the study is published while the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), which issued guidance on concussion in September, said it plans to meet Prof Bailey to discuss his research.
Williams won 100 caps playing for Wales, he said: "The minute you start thinking about how dangerous the sport is and how physical it is, I think that's the time to stop.
"Only now I'm retired, I've looked back and I think to myself, 'what were you doing for 15 to 16 years?'
"There are far more easier ways to make a living but you've got to be of a certain mind-set and, especially to reach the very top, I think its part and parcel of the game.
"I don't think you ever go out on the field 100% fit if I'm honest, in a professional career, because the game is that brutal now."
Mr Bailey, a professor of physiology and biochemistry at the University of South Wales told the BBC's Week In Week Out programme: "We've run some very well controlled scientific investigations and there are two primary findings.
Find out how rugby players survive such big hits
"The first is that in young players repetitive concussions can have a negative impact on the way the brain functions - certainly in terms of the way it regulates blood flow to itself which we think is an important part of brain health.
"Secondly, when you then translate this to the retired player, who's retired from the international game, so these are players that have played at the very top end of the game - the negative effects we think of these repetitive concussions can conspire to impair the way players can remember and formulate ideas if you like.
"So it accelerates brain ageing and increases susceptibility potentially to onset dementia and we've got evidence to suggest that that's the case as well."
The WRU's chief medical manager Prav Mathema said rugby is not alone in having to deal with concussion and has protocols in place - which he said is not the case in all sports.
He said a lot more research is needed and is interested in any work that could help make the game safer.
"Right now long-term health wise, we don't know enough," said Mr Mathema.
"The IRB are doing some independent research, we the WRU are engaged with the IRB with some on-going research and ourselves as well - we are delivering lots of research, not just about potential long-term health issues with concussion, but how we can prevent concussion.
"That's the key thing to me - how we can prevent it in the first place."
Week In Week Out: The Hidden Headache, Tuesday, 18 November on BBC One Wales at 22:40 GMT
The snow-covered plains of Vermont are one of the last places you'd think saffron would grow. The world's largest crops of the high-priced spice grow in Iran, Spain and Italy. Not places you'd automatically associate with heavy snowfall and bone-shattering cold weather.
But Margaret Skinner, a researcher professor at the University of Vermont, wants to bring saffron to the farmlands here.
It all started two years ago when Arash Ghalehgolabbehbahani was finishing up his doctoral studies in Mashhahd, a city in northeast Iran. The region is where about 90% of the world's saffron originates.
Ghalehgolabbehbahani's wife had been accepted to the University of Vermont and he went to the state to visit her. That's where he met Skinner.
"I know that saffron has good resistance to cold weather, so I suggested saffron to Margaret," recalls Ghalehgolabbehbahani.
That suggestion led to a research project, at the University of Vermont, where Ghalehgolabbehbahani is now a postdoctoral researcher. He and Skinner started looking into whether it would be possible to grow saffron in Vermont.
"When we started back in 2015 we had no idea … would they grow? Would we get any flowers at all? Would it be too hot? Would it be too cold?" recalls Skinner.
First they needed saffron corms, which look like bulbs - think tulip or hyacinth, but smaller. They found a local flower company which imported them from the Netherlands and picked up a few more from an elderly lady in Pennsylvania.
In fact, saffron has been grown in the US for years.
"It was very popular in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the late 1700s and early 1800s," explains Susan Liechty, a board member of the Herb Society of America.
"It was brought over by many, many immigrants from Spain and France and Italy and Germany," she says. "And a lot of them, especially the Germans - which is the Amish and the Mennonite that settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania - started growing it as a crop."
Liechty says these were small family farms. Over time, as older Mennonites and Amish farmers passed away, the number of saffron farms shrank.
"At one point I was told that there was close to 250 different farms. Now they're down to about under 50."
Today, small amounts of saffron are grown in a few parts of the US. Some is grown in California, for example, because it's home to a large Iranian community.
But what's produced in the states is dwarfed by what the country imports. Skinner sees an opportunity here for the farmers in Vermont.
They planted the saffron corms in a high tunnel, which is similar to a greenhouse but its bottom sides are open and it's not heated.
And what they found took them by surprise. "We got higher yields of saffron, in terms of the weight of saffron, than what's reported in field production in Spain or Iran," Skinner says.
Armed with her new results, Skinner asked if farmers would be interested in planting saffron as a side crop.
Some were sceptical about saffron because picking it involves a lot of labour.
Once the saffron flowers are picked, they have to be separated and the petals pulled apart.
"There's three red [...] stigmas inside each flower," Liechty says. "That's the part that you want to pick out and it has to be picked out with your fingertips. Then they have to dry."
Skinner argues that it's not much harder than making maple syrup. Plus, she says, it's something farmers can try in small quantities, alongside tomatoes and salad greens.
Next comes questions about marketing. Who's going to buy it? Saffron is expensive, and only a few strands can cost about $20.
But flavouring rice and risotto dishes isn't the only use for saffron. It also has potential medicinal uses. That's what interests Guido Mase, a clinician at the Burlington Herb Clinic.
"I'd be so excited to use saffron," he says.
Mase says some studies have shown that saffron helps with depression.
"There's really no-one in the country who's extracting saffron for medicinal purposes right now.
"We work with a lot of these aromatic plants, and to be able to add saffron in there as certified, organic from Vermont I think would be fantastic."
Skinner points to one more way that saffron has been put to use over the centuries: dyeing fabrics. She says one grower from the Amish-Mennonite community managed to sell some of it to Buddhist monks in Boston.
"Traditionally some monks use saffron to dye their robs and they really didn't want to buy saffron from overseas because of concerns about the politics," she says.
"So they really liked buying it locally,"
The way Vermont agricultural secretary Chuck Ross sees it, the US could see Vermont-grown saffron within the next 12 months.
Meanwhile, Skinner and Ghalehgolabbehbahani want to raise money to do more research, including on medicinal uses and ways to maximize production.
For now, saffron has created a buzz here. And who knows? Maybe the spice that some consider exotic and mysterious could bring in much-needed income for farmers in the Green Mountain state. Skinner certainly hopes so.
"I grew up in this state and I love what it stands for," she says. "Part of that is our small family farms and so I want to do what I can to sustain them."
Police officers were called to London Road in Chippenham at 00:20 BST where they found a 38-year-old with "significant injuries".
He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
Det Insp Jim Taylor said: "We are at the very early stages of the investigation, however, we believe this is an isolated attack."
He added: "We are in the process of informing the next of kin of the deceased and although formal identification has not yet taken place, we believe he is a Chippenham man.
"Our thoughts are with his family at this extremely difficult time."
The road has been shut from the junction with Avenue La Fleche and Blackcross and is expected to remain closed for the rest of the day.
The party would allow licensed shops to sell the drug to over-18s, let people grow cannabis at home and introduce small "cannabis social clubs".
The Lib Dem spring conference in 2016 backed a regulated cannabis market.
The party's manifesto will also include a promise to extend paid parental leave for fathers from two weeks to a month.
Under UK legislation, anyone found possessing cannabis can be sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison, an unlimited fine or both punishments - but many argue that the law is not enforced.
Supplying or producing cannabis, which is a class "B" drug, attracts a maximum 14-year prison sentence, unlimited fine or both, under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
It is legal to consume small amounts of marijuana in some other countries - including Norway, the Netherlands and Portugal - while in other countries police do not arrest people for possession.
In 2001, Portugal became the first country in the world to decriminalise the use of all drugs.
Last year, the Lib Dems backed proposals for a "regulated market" to control the pricing, potency and packaging of sales to over-18s.
The proposals were outlined in a report, co-authored by the government's former chief drugs adviser Sir David Nutt, which argued that cannabis should be taxed - and that doing so could yield up to £1bn a year for the government.
The Lib Dems' Julian Huppert confirmed the policy would appear in its upcoming manifesto to BuzzFeed, saying: "The market is run by criminal gangs and they have no interest in public health - the system is causing huge amounts of harm."
During the 2015 election campaign, the Lib Dems called for drug use to be treated as a health rather than a public policy issue.
Labour in its 2015 manifesto called for better drug treatment services, while the Conservatives said they would introduce random drug-testing in jails.
Speaking last year, the Lib Dems' health spokesman, Norman Lamb, said that "the war on drugs has been a catastrophic failure".
"We criminalise thousands of people, blighting their careers," he said. "When people buy cannabis from criminals, they have no idea what they are buying."
The party is also promising extra paid paternity leave - which it is calling "Daddy Month" in a bid to encourage more sharing of parental responsibilities.
Jo Swinson, equalities minister in the coalition government when shared parental leave was introduced in 2015, said: "More needs to be done to encourage men to take leave when they become a dad.
"Research shows that fathers being more involved in their children's lives is good for children's development and good for the health and happiness of the whole family."
Labour has also said it supports extending paid paternity leave.
Ministers said a "significant number" of would-be migrants had been stopped during the French ferry worker strike.
Mr Cameron told MPs it was important to work with France to tackle the problem and warned against "either side trying to point the finger of blame".
Cross-Channel transport is returning to normal although there are delays.
Ferry, Eurotunnel and Eurostar services are running mostly to schedule, but those delayed on Tuesday face waits to rebook trains.
The M20 in Kent is closed between junctions 8 and 9 as parts of the motorway are used to create a queue for lorries heading to the continent. The operation will last for the rest of Wednesday, Kent Police said.
Mr Cameron said more needed to be done to tackle the issue of migrants trying to cross the channel to the UK, but the strike had played a "key role" in Tuesday's events.
He said the UK government wanted to see better documentation of migrants coming into Europe via the Mediterranean.
The PM said he had discussed putting more border staff and sniffer dog teams in Calais.
He added ministers needed to act to:
Home Secretary Theresa May, meanwhile, said the UK Border Force had put in place "tried and tested" contingency plans.
She said: "Despite the extra pressure caused by the French strikers, Border Force maintained border security by following plans to put additional staff in place to search freight vehicles passing through the affected ports."

The story of Calais is an enormous headache for the prime minister and it couldn't have come at a worse time.
Just as the prime minister is about to formally table his proposal to re-negotiate Britain's relationship with the EU at a leader's summit he is confronted by images that highlight the issue that does the most to alienate voters from Europe - immigration.
Read Nick's blog here.
Shadow immigration minister David Hanson said it was important French authorities "take further action to ensure they support" the UK in humanitarian efforts and ensuring the "integrity" of its borders.
The government also said a taskforce to tackle organised immigration crime in the Mediterranean is being set up. Many of the migrants at Calais are believed to have crossed the Mediterranean in boats run by people traffickers.
Migration is also due to discussed at a two-day European Council summit in Brussels, which begins on Thursday.
Police in France said 350 migrants had been found in cars and trucks between 06:00 and 10:00 on Wednesday morning.
Eurotunnel said migrants had continued attempting to get on to trucks slowing down on the outskirts of Calais on Wednesday.
And seven people were arrested in Bedfordshire earlier on immigration offences. They were all detained near the Northbound M1 services at Toddington.
Abdul Aziz, 22, originally from Sudan, told the BBC he had travelled to the UK from Calais on Wednesday by clinging to the underside of a lorry.
On Tuesday, Eurostar tweeted that a fire caused by striking ferry workers had damaged the track, leading to all trains being cancelled.
It says services are now running on time, and passengers whose trains did not run are being asked to exchange their tickets - though they will not be able to travel until the weekend.
Eurotunnel, which manages the Channel Tunnel and runs car-carrying trains, says services are now "operating to schedule".
Ferry services have also resumed, though there are some delays.
HGV driver Andy Wilson, who was stuck on the UK side of the Channel on Tuesday, told the BBC his working day was "virtually destroyed".
He added: "When you're driving in toward Calais there's hundreds of migrants just waiting for you to stop."
One migrant at Calais, Moaz, said life in France was "difficult" and he believed he could get a home in England "very quickly".
A Sudanese man told the BBC he had heard Britain would not "leave you" to live in a camp like the one he lives in near Calais port.
"They will receive you with food… house, then after that you will get a chance to ask for asylum," he said.
About 3,000 migrants are estimated to be living rough around Calais, waiting for a chance to cross the Channel.
On Tuesday Philippe Mignonet, a deputy to the mayor of Calais, said French people were "fed up" and Britain must "take responsibility" for policing its borders.
"You're on an island and you can't see that it's your problem to deal with your security. I'm sorry to say so - it's your security," he told the BBC.
The Home Office says about 19,000 attempts to cross the Channel have been prevented so far this year, more than double the number during the same period last year.
The new Mediterranean taskforce to be announced later is a 90-strong law enforcement team including staff from the Border Force, the National Crime Agency, Immigration Enforcement and the Crown Prosecution Service.
A handful will be based with Europol in Sicily and the Hague, in the Netherlands, with most on deployment standby in the UK.
The UK had already announced extra security measures at ports in northern France and Belgium, where UK Border Force staff work alongside national authorities.
The measures include:
United's Marouane Fellaini has also escaped sanction for an alleged elbow on Emre Can in the final moments.
Uefa decided to take no action as neither incident was mentioned in the match officials' report.
Liverpool won the first leg of their last-16 tie 2-0 at Anfield and the return takes place on Thursday.
Officials are set to pay closer attention to chants at Old Trafford.
United have said such chants "have no place in the game".
Ninety-six Liverpool fans died in an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough between the Reds and Nottingham Forest in 1989.
The Old Trafford club have previously been subject to offensive chants themselves concerning the 1958 Munich air disaster, in which eight players and three club officials were among 23 people who lost their lives in a crash following a European Cup tie.
Former Liverpool midfielder Ray Houghton told BBC Radio 5 live the chants at Anfield last Thursday were "dreadful", while ex-Manchester United striker Dion Dublin called them "disgusting".
A story in the Sun newspaper four days after the Hillsborough disaster criticised the behaviour of Liverpool fans at the game. The newspaper is still widely boycotted in Merseyside as a result.
"There were chants during the first half - 'the Sun was right', referring to the Hillsborough tragedy," said BBC Sport's Juliette Ferrington, who was at Anfield.
"It wasn't continuous but it was clearly audible, maybe four or five times. It kind of got drowned out. The noise at the game was deafening.
"It happened again just after the full-time whistle - it was drowned out by: 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and 'we won it five times' [a reference to Liverpool's five European Cup triumphs]. There was lots of saddened head-shaking in the press-box."
Craig Dunstable applied for the role of Kingsley after the previous incumbent retired at the end of last season.
Now the 39-year-old architect has been "blown away" after landing the job of his team's cheerleader-in-chief.
The spiky sunburst character, designed by 2013 Turner Prize nominee David Shrigley, caused a global stir when unveiled as The Jags mascot last year.
He was likened to "a demented sun god" and described as "terrifying".
Club officials advertised for a replacement for Jay McGhee, who wore the costume previously, after the father-to-be stood down.
The job advertisement said employee benefits of the role included receiving a 2016/17 club season ticket, opportunities to travel the country and meeting celebrities like David Hasselhoff and Rachel Riley.
Father-of-four Mr Dunstable said he was overjoyed at being asked to take on the mascot role.
"I am absolutely blown away that I will now be donning the Kingsley suit during matches at Firhill," he said.
"I've had a lifelong love of Thistle thanks to my late grandfather, Bill.
"We'd take a game in every week come rain or shine. It was from this point that I fell in love with the team and always wanted to be involved in some way."
He added: "I didn't expect that I would one day be representing the club as the famous Kingsley and it's a role I'm ready and proud to take on."
Ian Maxwell, managing director of the Ladbrokes Premiership side, said Mr Dunstable "had that extra edge to him".
"I can't wait to see him on Saturday at the game," he said.
"He has bags of enthusiasm and, as a lifelong Jags fan, knows the importance of becoming the face of the club and ensuring an electric atmosphere at every game."
Emergency services were called at about 15:00 GMT to Thameside in Henley.
They helped the woman from Henley out of the vehicle 10 minutes after arriving at the scene and the car was recovered two hours later.
She was not injured and did not attend hospital but was described as "a bit shocked" by a passerby.
Tom Carter, who was walking his dog with friends when he saw the car roll into the pontoon, said: "She was shaken but ok.
"The car was in one of the parking bays and rolled off, so its front had landed on the pontoon and got wedged at a 45 degree angle."
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond attended a ceremony in Tehran with Iranian diplomats to mark the reopening while Iran has also reopened its embassy in London.
The UK embassy was closed in 2011 after it was stormed by protesters during a demonstration against sanctions.
Mr Hammond is the first UK foreign secretary to visit Iran since 2003.
The reopening comes weeks after Iran reached a deal with six world powers aimed at curbing its nuclear programme.
At the ceremony Mr Hammond said the attack in 2011 had been "a low point" but since the election of President Hassan Rouhani things had "steadily improved, step by step".
He said: "Last month's historic nuclear agreement was another milestone, and showed the power of diplomacy, conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect, to solve shared challenges.
"Re-opening the embassy is the logical next step. To build confidence and trust between two great nations.
"Iran is, and will remain, an important country in a strategically important but volatile region. Maintaining dialogue around the world, even under difficult conditions, is critical.
"We will not always agree. But as confidence and trust grows there should be no limit to what over time we can achieve together and no limit to our ability to discuss these issues together."
By BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen in Tehran
As he declared the embassy open, Britain's foreign secretary Philip Hammond said there were no limits to what Britain and Iran might achieve together over time, though they wouldn't always agree.
A small group of Iranians who work at the embassy watched as the Union flag was hoisted in the 14 and a half acre embassy compound for the first time since 2011.
Behind the high walls there are gracious lawns and dappled pools of shade from mature trees. It's all a remarkable contrast with the traffic and noise outside, in a scruffy part of inner city Tehran.
But for many Iranians, the compound with the lion and unicorn on the pillars of the gate is also a symbol of Britain's past meddling in their country. As a precaution, riot police were lined up outside the gate.
Inside the embassy, graffiti left by radicals who invaded it in 2011 is still on doors and panelling. Above a portrait of the queen is the message 'Death to the English'.
Initially, the embassy will be headed by a charge d'affaires, Ajay Sharma, but Mr Hammond said an agreement on upgrading to full ambassador status is expected to be reached in the coming months.
A trade delegation has also travelled to Tehran with Mr Hammond and the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury Damian Hinds to discuss possible future trade opportunities.
Mr Hammond said there was "huge appetite" from UK businesses interested in investing in Iran and creating conditions for British banks to be able to finance trade deals with the country.
In November 2011 Iran announced it was expelling the UK's ambassador in retaliation for British support for tougher sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear programme.
Hundreds of protesters stormed embassy compounds two days later, smashing windows, torching cars and burning Union flags.
The UK responded by closing the Iranian embassy in London later that month.
But following the election of Hassan Rouhani and an agreement on how to deal with Iran's nuclear programme, the then Foreign Secretary William Hague proposed the reopening of the embassy in June last year.
Since then, the reopening of the embassy has been held up by technical problems over visa policy and communications equipment, Mr Hammond has said.
The band will be joined by Idlewild and Honeyblood in an all-Scottish line-up for the Concert in the Gardens.
Organisers said it was a "real coup" that Biffy Clyro would make their only live UK performance of the year at the event which they last headlined in 2010.
Tickets for the concert go on sale next week.
In a statement, Biffy Clyro said: "We are so happy to come out of musical hibernation to kick off 2016 with the show on Hogmanay.
"We want to rock off the cobwebs and prepare for the year of da biff. Nothing can compete with Edinburgh's celebrations and we hope to make it a special night for everyone."
Pete Irvine, director of Edinburgh's Hogmanay, said: "Their stand-out performance two years ago headlining T in the Park reminded us that they are one of the most exciting live bands ever to come out of Scotland.
"Biffy have built a big international following and headlining an impressive Scottish line-up at Concert in the Gardens will please both the Scots and our audience who come from over 70 countries."
Full details of the street party line-up and other events will be announced in October.
Banks such as Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) are increasingly using chatbots to answer customer queries.
The report examined the views of 600 bankers and other experts.
Many, perhaps ironically, felt that AI would help banks create a more human-like customer experience.
"The big paradox here is that people think technology will lead to banking becoming more and more automated and less and less personalised, but what we've seen coming through here is the view that technology will actually help banking become a lot more personalised," said Alan McIntyre, head of the Accenture's banking practice and co-author of the report, Banking Technology Vision 2017.
"(It) will give people the impression that the bank knows them a lot better, and in many ways it will take banking back to the feeling that people had when there were more human interactions."
A similar report conducted by Accenture, looking at consumer attitudes to banking, suggests that customers too are willing to embrace AI.
"With things like Netflix, customers are used to smart AI offering advice in the background and we found consumers are surprisingly willing to accept robotic advice about banking products," Mr McIntyre told the BBC.
In future he envisages banking will be made much simpler - with people able to conduct transactions on social media platforms such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.
Accenture is currently working with a number of UK banks to allow customers to interact with their banks - get balance information and transfer money - via Amazon's smart home speaker Alexa.
He also imagines how banks could use systems such as Alexa to transcribe conversations with customers to cut down on "form-filling".
"Rather than sit down and log on to a website, people want to interact naturally," said Mr McIntyre.
The vast majority of customers, according to Accenture, want both easy digital interactions and the ability to speak to a human.
"People want a dialogue and as AI is more and more able to replicate that, so it doesn't feel like speaking to a machine," he said.
RBS and NatWest began testing an AI customer service chatbot, dubbed Assist, in December and in Sweden, Swedbank's Nina web assistant now has an average of 30,000 conversations per month and can handle more than 350 different customer questions.
Cardiff North AM Julie Morgan had proposed a change to the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Bill to remove the defence of "reasonable punishment".
It would have made it illegal in Wales for parents to hit their children but the amendment from Labour's Ms Morgan was lost by 36 votes to 16.
The Welsh Labour government opposed the measure.
It had rejected calls for a free vote on the issue.
However Ms Morgan and another Labour backbencher, Christine Chapman AM, voted against the party.
Introducing the amendment, Ms Morgan told AMs it was about "finally doing right by the children of Wales".
"How can we possibly justify saying to children 'no - it's not right for your dad to hit your mum, or your mum to hit your dad. But it's ok for either of them to hit you'," she said.
"It's a ridiculous and it's an inconsistent message, and not only does it not make sense, it also leaves children vulnerable within the home."
The Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews said "there are many good arguments for ending the defence of reasonable punishment but the government has been clear that this bill is not the right place to address this issue and we remain strongly of that view".
AMs were debating and voting on several amendments to the bill on Tuesday.
A move to make schools offer lessons on healthy relationships was narrowly rejected.
The Welsh government has ruled out any change to the law on smacking children before next year's assembly elections.
In October 2011, assembly members voted in principle to remove the defence of "reasonable chastisement" although they did not have the power at that time to impose a ban on smacking.
Another 19 people were injured in the attack in Abs, in Hajjah province, believed to have been carried out by the Saudi-led coalition which is backing Yemen's government in its fight against Houthi rebels.
The coalition has not yet commented.
Local people said the hit follows days of air raids in the area.
The first rescue workers to arrive at the scene had to move cautiously, fearing that the circling planes might attack again.
The blast immediately killed nine people, including an MSF staff member, MSF Yemen tweeted.
Two more patients died while they were being transferred to another hospital, it added.
The conflict in Yemen that began in 2015 has left more than 6,400 people dead, half of them civilians, and displaced 2.5 million others, according to the UN.
MSF said more than 4,600 patients had been treated at the Abs hospital since MSF began supporting it in July 2015.
A spokesman for the United Nations said the organisation was aware of the latest reports from Yemen and was trying to gather some details.
Last year, one person was killed in coalition air strikes on an MSF-supported health centre in the neighbouring province of Saada and a mobile clinic in the southern province of Taiz were hit in air strikes, according to the charity.
A hospital in Saada was hit by a projectile this January, killing six people.
The attack in Abs comes less than 48 hours after MSF said a coalition air strike on a Koranic school in Saada's Haydan district had killed 10 children.
The home of a school headmaster in Razih district was also hit that day, killing his wife and four of their children, witnesses told the New York Times. A second air strike killed four of their relatives as people tried to rescue them, they said.
The coalition denied targeting a school in Haydan, instead saying that it had bombed a camp at which the Houthis were training child soldiers.
The Saudi-led coalition has been carrying out air strikes in Yemen since March 2015 in support of the internationally recognised government of President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
The strikes began after the Houthi rebels, backed by supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, took over parts of the country, including the capital Sanaa, forcing the government into exile.
The government and its allies have since retaken the southern city of Aden. Saudi Arabia says the Houthis are supported by its regional rival Iran - something Tehran denies.
That compares with annual pre-tax profit of £2.26bn a year earlier.
It is the biggest loss suffered by a UK retailer and one of the largest in the country's corporate history.
Around £4.7bn of the losses were the result of the fall in property value of its UK stores, 43 of which it said would close earlier this month.
The decline in the value of its property portfolio comes as a direct result of falling footfall in many of its out of town superstores.
Tesco's chief executive Dave Lewis admitted it had been "a very difficult year for Tesco".
£6.4bn
record loss, 2014-15
£3.8bn
record profit, 2011-12
20% of retail space "underused"
43 stores to close
49 planned stores cancelled
He added: "The results we have published today reflect a deterioration in the market and, more significantly, an erosion of our competitiveness over recent years."
He said that he expected conditions in the coming financial year to remain challenging.
But Mr Lewis said more people were buying more things at Tesco and that this was "an important first step".
In the corporate world it's known as "kitchen-sinking" - finding all the bad stuff buried down the back of the sofa, adding it together and announcing a whopping great loss.
Today, Tesco became its latest proponent. In fact, to the kitchen sink Dave Lewis, the chief executive, has added the washing machine, the dish washer and the deep fat fryer.
The big, hairy, shiver-down the spine number is the revaluation of Tesco's 3,000 UK supermarkets and its stores overseas.
With the value of sales down and shoppers turning away from larger out-of-town stores, the business has admitted that its property portfolio simply isn't as valuable as it once believed.
Read Kamal's blog in full here.
The results cap a tumultuous year for the supermarket giant which is still being investigated by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) after it overstated its half-year profit forecast in August by £263m.
Annual group trading profit, which counts sales through the supermarket's tills was also down 60% at £1.4bn, compared with £3.3bn a year earlier.
UK like-for-like sales excluding fuel declined by 3.6% in the year.
Marc Kimsey, senior trader at Accendo Markets, described the results as "another shocker" from Tesco.
He added: "This set of results disappoints on every level - the pre-tax loss exceeds the City's already dire expectations and the trading profit has fallen by almost 60% in just a year.
"Traders are now discounting positive management rhetoric regarding a 'turnaround plan'. Only the numbers will do now and sadly, they are not only disastrous, but deteriorating."
Meanwhile, Paul Thomas of the retail consultants Retail Remedy, described the results as not only one of the biggest losses in British corporate history, "it's a black hole that risks consuming a once all-powerful brand".
He said: "To say Tesco's chief executive has a mountain to climb to reverse its decline is to underplay the scale of the task. At times the combative Mr Lewis must feel like an ant scaling the Himalayas."
The company said the performance of its European stores disappointed as a result of "strong competition from discount retailers" which held back its sales performance, particularly in Ireland which saw a like-for-like sales fall 6.3% in the year.
In Asia, Tesco said trading profit was £565m, once currency fluctuations were stripped out, 15.3% lower than a year earlier a result of sales falling in South Korea, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Tesco said it had also agreed a plan with the trustees of its pension scheme to pay £270m a year to help mend its £3.89bn pension deficit.
And it said it has started a consultation with staff to replace the current defined benefit pension scheme with a cheaper contribution-based pension scheme.
Emma Rice became the venue's artistic director last January, only to announce her departure nine months later after a series of disputes with the board.
Now, actress Michelle Terry is taking the reins.
Speaking from the stage at the Globe theatre, she spoke about Rice's tenure, gender-blind casting and her own lack of theatre directing experience.
Here are six things she told us about her vision for the venue.
When Terry was appointed, some critics pointed out that she had zero directing experience. But it turns out that this isn't going to be a problem.
"I'm not going to direct [any plays], so nobody needs to worry about that," she says. "I think it's a skill that I don't have, I think it's a particular skill, and my passion is acting."
So much so, that Terry plans to take to the stage herself pretty soon.
"Being part of an ensemble is part of my first season's plans, and it's really important to me that I am part of that ensemble.
"I think for me that's what creates the best Shakespeare, collaboration in this space with the artists, with the audience, that's where you get the meaning making, that you're in a collective imaginative space."
Forthcoming productions at the Globe will have equal roles for men and women.
"The whole season will be 50/50, and that's not just small parts played by women or men," Terry says.
"Across the season, the body of work will have equal amounts for male, female, it will be gender blind, race blind, disability blind.
"I have benefitted from that being a possibility. When I played Henry V [last summer], we had Brexit, the Chilcot inquiry, Theresa May as prime minister - these are all things that serve that play, and me being a woman was the last thing on people's minds. So I know it works.
"And also, Shakespeare didn't worry about gender - he had men playing women - so I don't know why we have to worry about it."
Have the outgoing and incoming directors had any contact?
"We've met. I met her as part of the application process, we've had cups of tea," Terry says.
"Most people that work in theatre are freelancers, nobody is part of the building, we all sort of move on. So it really is a community venture, so there's never any... people will talk about there being competition but for me it's a collaborative process."
She adds: "You know Emma's work, if you've seen Kneehigh [the theatre in Cornwall that Rice was the artistic director of] you know what she does.
"So part of that was going, 'Does that work in here?' And the decision was made, in whatever way that came about, 'No', and now I am part of the new experiment, and I hope I last," she says, joking: "I'll see you at Christmas."
One of Rice's most controversial decisions was to use artificial lights and sound amplification.
But purists preferred the traditional unplugged nature of the venue, and Terry confirmed that the decision to use no more amplified sound was made before she got the job.
"The decision has already been made - there will be no amplified sound, no imposed lighting rig, and for me that's what I knew," she says.
"I haven't worked here under Emma's tenure, so what I know is this space as a raw naked space, and I suppose for me it's less about what was added on, but what was missed when you have that.
"What you want to do is reach out and touch the hands of those people. I think it's that direct connection with the audience."
Terry has a clear idea about how to get children enthused about Shakespeare from a young age.
"By experiencing it," she says simply.
"It's so experiential here... no kid in Shakespeare's time would've been made to sit down and read. They're plays.
"They make much more sense when you're on your feet reading them, interacting, and it's the same for the audience. So the more opportunity we can give to kids to experience that, the better.
"And also, teachers were taught badly, so they're frightened of teaching it. So enabling teachers to experience it and giving them a different offering about what they could do with kids in the classroom [is important]."
We'd all be pretty happy to land our dream job without even having to download the application form - but it seems Michelle's appointment kind of happened by accident.
"Weirdly, I didn't apply for this job," she says.
Terry recalls the time when the job was advertised and conversations were being had across the theatre world about the Globe's future.
"Everyone that works here in my experience has wanted to come back. So there are a lot of people, me included, [who were] saying, 'I would love to be part of the artistic conversation'.
"So I wrote a letter to Neil [Constable, Globe chief executive] sort of pledging my allegiance, going 'I'd love to be part of that artistic conversation', and he wrote back asking if I'd like to convert it into a formal application, and at that point I thought, yes I would."
That idea turned out quite well.
"Every artistic adventure involves risk," she says as she looks to the future of the venue.
"I take great courage in the fact they've taken an enormous risk by putting an actor in this position. I think that smacks of bravery, and it gives me great hope."

Caroline Mckay, 33, endured 18 hours of darkness during the challenge to finish in just over 24 hours on Saturday.
The committee of the West Highland Way race, which is held in the summer, said it was the first time they had recorded a woman completing the route in winter.
The route travels from Fort William to Milngavie in Glasgow.
Miss Mckay, originally from the Isle of Mull, told the BBC Scotland news website that despite having completed several 100-mile races she was shocked at how hard the challenge had been.
She said: "It was the darkness that made this so hard. I underestimated how tough it would be.
"I have to admit I was scared when I was on my own on Rannoch Moor and would have died if I had met anyone.
"At first I kept glancing behind me but it was making me stumble as the terrain is quite stony there so I put my iPod on and played a podcast so I could hear talking to help me get through it.
"I didn't want to play music though as I thought that would take too many senses away from me when it was already hard to see. Playing a podcast meant I could still listen out for noises.
"There were big boulders too next to the trail with white markings on them, which I kept thinking were other things and I saw eyes of what turned out to be a deer at one point."
Miss Mckay said she would never do the route again and found doing it in the winter made it one of the hardest ultramarthons she has done.
She said she felt "horrendous" for the last five miles and was sick for several hours after completing the challenge.
She also ended up taking some wrong turns in the darkness due to a forestry diversion which meant she actually ran 101 miles.
She completed the official race in the summer in 19.5 hours.
Along the route she had several friends including Jamie Aarons and her boyfriend Giles Ruck running sections of the route with her.
The donor development manager was running to raise money for the African education charity she works for, Link Community Development.
Miss Mckay stopped for a few minutes at the same support points used by the West Highland Way Race, about 12 in total, just for a few minutes at each.
The longest stop was 15 minutes when she changed clothes and shoes.
On the route she ate homemade falafel, pasta, veggie burgers, oat and fruit snacks, flapjacks and a few caffeine gels near the end.
Ian Beattie, who is the race director of the West Highland Way official race in the summer and Scottish Athletics chairman, said it was an "incredible achievement".
He said: "I think we ultramarathon runners forget how hard it is to run such distances and we become quite blasé but this is an incredible thing to do especially in only about six hours of daylight.
"Running in 18 hours of darkness is tough as even with a torch you don't have the perspective you would have in daylight. It is quite tough and you have to slow down.
"We believe Caroline is the first woman to have completed the West Highland Way in a oner in the winter as we don't know of anyone else that has recorded it.
"Completing challenges like this shows what is possible and resets boundaries."
The midfielder arrived on cue from James Justin's cross with 15 minutes to go and beat the excellent Elliot Parish to stretch his side's unbeaten run to eight league games.
Jordan Cook was sent off on 83 minutes but Luton held on for the win.
Luton probed in the first half as Parish tipped Alex Gilliead's 20-yard shot behind, while McGeehan hit the stanchion behind the goal, and Jack Marriott's attempt flew over.
Moments before the break, Parish made a superb double save from Glen Rea.
Jordan Clark hot wide from range for Stanley after half-time whiel at the other end Cook sent an effort over the top.
Alan Sheehan was denied what would have been a wonderful opener on 67 minutes, his free-kick cannoning off the underside of the bar, with Terry Gornell's 25-yarder straight at Christian Walton.
Parish made an outstanding stop from Scott Cuthbert's downward header, before he was finally beaten by McGeehan.
Luton were reduced to 10 men with seven minutes to go, Cook seeing red for two yellows, but Walton made fine stops late on from Romuald Boco and team-mate Rea's mis-placed header to ensure victory.

It provides evidence about life around Brook Bay 130 million years ago.
Palaeontologist Dr Steve Sweetman found the 50kg (110lb) rock containing prints of an adult iguanodon, a theropod and a baby iguanodon-like dinosaur.
He said: "It is a remarkable fossil providing tantalising evidence of the existence of animals for which we have the merest scraps of bones."
The Isle of Wight is internationally renowned for fossils because its habitat provided ideal conditions for dinosaurs to roam.
Dr Sweetman, a vertebrate palaeontologist at the University of Portsmouth, explained the rock showed that a large iguanodon plant-eating dinosaur was wandering about in a muddy riverbank leaving deep footprints 45cm wide and 50cm long (17in by 20in).
Dr Sweetman said: "There are hundreds of footprints on the beach at Brook Bay but it's extraordinary to find three in one, and the little theropod print is unique.
"It was a truly busy place teeming with life and, in the shadow of the large dinosaurs, tiny ones of all shapes and sizes were also thriving," he added.
Dr Sweetman sought permission from the beach owners, the National Trust, to remove the specimen before it was washed away.
The find will be donated to the island's Dinosaur Isle Museum.
The warrior, who is thought to have died about AD 500, was found buried at RAF Lakenheath in 1997 with a horse, bridle, sword and shield.
Forest Heath council has announced it will provide a grant of £789,813.
Peter Merrick, chairman of the Mildenhall Museum Society, said: "We're obviously delighted as lots of hard work has gone into it."
Suffolk's Archaeological Service has the skeletons of the warrior and horse, which were part of a cemetery containing 427 graves.
The horse's bridle is currently at the British Museum, but it will be returned for display in Mildenhall.
Mr Merrick said: "The British Museum's policy now is that locally found things should stay in their locality and not go into store in London, so we're tickled pink."
The museum refurbishment is costing £1.2m with the rest of the money already secured from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Lizzie Cocker, arts and heritage officer at Forest Heath District Council, said: "The money's been sitting in our capital programme and it's been planned for four or five years, so it's a long-term development in that sense."
The intention is to display the warrior and horse as they were found.
Jo Caruth, senior project officer with the archaeological service, said: "Some of the very small bones have decayed and some of the bones have been destroyed in the process of radio carbon dating, but all of that is important in terms of understanding who the man was and his place in Anglo-Saxon society.
"We may be able to get some evidence to show if he's related to other people within that cemetery, but we can't actually say who he was.
"It seems very appropriate that he's going back to where he came from."
Work on the museum is due to begin in July and should be completed next year.
The web server sustaining them has been deactivated after a legal threat from a company claiming to have designed them.
Added to Second Life in 2010, Ozimals bunnies were collectible pets that players could breed.
Some owners had secured an "everlasting timepiece", giving their pets eternal life but preventing them from breeding. But the remaining rabbits entered "permanent hibernation" on Saturday.
They were designed to communicate with a web server to ensure they had not been tampered with, but the company that created them closed in 2016.
Since then, the server sustaining them has been run by a volunteer known by the pseudonym Malkavyn Eldritch.
On Tuesday, Eldritch said he had received a cease-and-desist letter, demanding he "cease all use of Ozimals intellectual property" from a company claiming to have designed the rabbits' "visual assets".
"I do not have the means to fight this in court, therefore I have no choice but to comply," said Eldritch.
"I'm sorry.
"It was never my intention for the time we've all spent with the bunnies... to end like this."
The game has taken a hit with Rangers and St Johnstone crashing out of the Europa League in the first round.
But Thomson is delighted to see Steven Whittaker and Shaun Maloney potentially joining Christophe Berra,Kyle Lafferty and Greg Stewart in moving north.
"It can only add credibility to our game," he told BBC Scotland.
Celtic are expected to add quality to their treble-winning squad in the coming weeks and Rangers have brought in nine players so far, but it is the standard of signings being made by the other clubs that has impressed Thomson.
Whittaker, 33, is close to sealing a move from Norwich to newly-promoted Hibernian, where he started his career, while former Celtic forward Maloney, 34, is being chased by Aberdeen following his exit from Hull City.
The Dons have already brought in former Dundee striker Greg Stewart on loan from Birmingham, while defender Berra, 32, returned to Tynecastle, where has been joined by Lafferty, 29, who spent four years at Rangers.
"It's obviously very positive," added Thomson, who played beside Whittaker and Lafferty at Rangers and Berra and Maloney with Scotland.
"I know they are a bit older but they bring a wealth of experience and they are top players on their day.
"If they were two or three years younger it would probably never be an option for them to come back up here, without being disrespectful to the clubs up here, but they were earning big bucks down there at big clubs.
"It's a real bonus for Scottish football that they are coming back up here and hopefully they can help the younger players in the squads.
"It's really refreshing that they are coming back and they can use their experience."
Thomson also played beside full-back Whittaker when they were coming through the ranks at Hibs and believes the experience and assurance he will add to Neil Lennon's team will prove invaluable.
And he added: "From a Hibs fans' point of view, it also brings competition, which is great. Whittaker won't want to sit on the bench and that brings up the tempo in training and challenges the other players, such as David Gray and Lewis Stevenson, so it can only bode well for the team.
"I played with Shaun Maloney for Scotland and at under-21 level, I'm a huge fan of his, he's a terrific player. Aberdeen have obviously lost talent, there's no getting away from that, but bringing in Greg Stewart, and if they get Maloney, it's a major coup for the club."
Thomson was in the same Rangers team as Northern Ireland striker Lafferty and reckons capturing him and Berra is "very good business" for Hearts.
"As a Hibee I hope he doesn't do the business for Hearts," Thomson said. "But seriously, he's a great lad. When he was young I think a lot of things came too quick to him.
"The fundamentals are to produce the goods every Saturday and keep focused. I think Laff would be the first to say if he could go back and do things differently he maybe would.
"I watched him numerous times for Northern Ireland. So for Hearts to sign someone like that, that's done it at the top level on the international stage, is a huge coup."
Judges in the annual SURF awards said they were impressed with the regeneration of Kilmarnock town centre.
The awards, presented by Social Justice Secretary, Alex Neil, are for regeneration initiatives.
They ranged from small community-based schemes to multi-million pound town centre developments.
The judges said: "East Ayrshire council's holistic urban development plan has created a vibrant town centre for Kilmarnock with restored historic buildings and positive developments in retail, culture, education, housing and tourism."
Among the improvements the local authority has made was the renovation of the Palace Theatre and investment in the repair and refurbishment of properties in Bank Street, a mediaeval thoroughfare in the centre of the town.
It has also relocated council offices in formerly derelict buildings such as the Johnnie Walker whisky bond and the Opera House.
Councillor Jim Buchanan, East Ayrshire's cabinet member for economy said: "It's important we keep the retailers in the town, and try to attract new retailers.
"That's why we moved out council staff into the town centre, into refurbished buildings where they can spend their lunchtime pounds in the town and help the retailers."
Kilmarnock railway station has also undergone regeneration with seven rooms, unoccupied for around 40 years now home to community enterprises including a book shop, café and electric bike hire.
Richard Carr, chairman of the Kilmarnock Station Railway Heritage Trust, said it has brought life back to a building in the centre of the town.
"It's all part of the process of bringing regeneration back to Kilmarnock.
"Obviously it is an industrial town, seen better days. and there've been tough times in recent years.
"But the council have put a lot of effort in behind it, and we're supportive of what's happened and to make the station a focal point for the town as well."
The SURF awards, which have been presented since 1998, are designed to promote the most effective initiatives designed to tackle physical, social and economic challenges in disadvantaged communities throughout Scotland.
Andy Milne, chief executive of SURF - Scotland's independent regeneration network - said it was important town centres had new life breathed into them.
"Towns are still home to more than half of Scotland's population, but over recent decades they have suffered degeneration in a lot of different ways; Firms moving out, transport disconnections, changing employment patterns.
"Towns are the place of business of living, of meaning for the people around that whole area.
"So it's important that the centres work successfully, both as business centres, but also as places for people to gather and meet with each other and exchange ideas."

As two Americans shouldering their guns make their way through the African bush, the emphasis is on relishing the risk and talking up the danger.
"It's not a game. These are big powerful cats. They wouldn't think anything of taking out a human."
Scenes like these, plus rather tamer bird-shooting and fishing footage, can now be seen in the UK via a new app.
US billionaire Stan Kroenke, owner of Arsenal football club, is taking his online hunting channel, MOTV, to an international audience.
The app will soon be marketed in English-speaking countries around the world including Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
But Arsenal fans and animal welfare groups are outraged, with some calling for a boycott of the football club.
Finally, after "days and days of boredom", the Americans do track down and kill one of the "big five".
"You gotta get over here!" They slap shoulders and congratulate themselves on a "quick, clean, humane" shot.
"We have us an African lion."
Other videos on the site are more upsetting with animals that have been shot with bows and arrows limping for some time before they die.
Big game hunting is a small, though eye-catching proportion of MOTV's content.
In the US, where the app launched last year, the majority of the films are of white tail hunting and other typical North American quarries.
The aim is to localise content to appeal to national audiences, said Simon Barr, speaking for Outdoor Sportsman Group, the company behind the app.
"There will be fishing, shooting, hunting that's relevant to the UK, so deer-stalking in Scotland, for example.
"There'll be some pheasant-shooting on there. There'll be salmon fishing, fishing on the coasts."
The platform also hosts cookery shows to show how to prepare wild game meat, with plans to work with UK-based chefs in the pipeline.
Stan Kroenke, the sports and entertainment billionaire who controls Arsenal Football Club, owns the company behind the new web channel, a small part of his huge Colorado-based sporting empire, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment.
But the channel, which is available as a paid-for subscription, has met with a critical reaction following its UK launch, as animal rights charities oppose what they say is a "cruel" pastime and question whether people will want to watch.
Mr Barr said objections were misplaced given that hunting videos were already widely available on the internet already and that MOTV would promote higher standards.
"It's guaranteed any hunting that's on there will have be done in an ethical, fair-chase way and it will have been done legally," he said.
But animal welfare group the League Against Cruel Sports is sceptical.
"We think Mr Kroenke is out of touch with the way most people are thinking," said Chris Pitt, deputy director of policy campaigns and communications.
"We're not in the old days when hunters went out to bag an elephant and put its head on the wall.
"So for someone in a position like Mr Kroenke to launch a channel that's so out of touch with what people want is an own goal to say the least.
"The reality of trophy hunting is that a lot, if not most, of these animals will not be killed cleanly, they will suffer long painful deaths - and so on the welfare argument alone, hunting like this should be banned."
Some of the contributors to the channel promote themselves as conservationists, tapping into a highly contentious debate around whether it is ethical and effective to raise money to protect wildlife by charging high fees for trophy hunting.
"Hunting adds very good dollars into conservation and it is an absolute driver for keeping some of these endangered species alive and that's very, very important," said Mr Barr.
The wildlife charity WWF said it accepted trophy hunting "in a very limited number of contexts where it is culturally appropriate, legal and effectively regulated. It must also demonstrate clear conservation and community benefits."
Chris Pitt of the League Against Cruel Sports rejects the argument that it raises significant amounts of money for conservation.
"That's what they've been saying for years, but more and more studies show that's not actually what's happening," he said. | It's a typical example of the kind of footage that has prompted furious reactions from animal lovers. | 40,773,618 | 956 | 24 | false |
Some students told the University of Northampton they would be "more comfortable using gender-neutral toilets".
"That some students described having to 'hold it in' until they got home was, to us, unacceptable" said students' union vice president Nick Woodward.
Existing single-cubicle disabled toilets have been re-designated.
In a statement, the university said the move was designed so "there will be no situation in which two people of any gender identity will be in the same room, ensuring they can feel comfortable using the space".
Victor Agboola, students' union at the University, said: "There is a growing population of trans students, with those who identify as transgender, non-binary or are inter-sex.
"Some students would be more comfortable using gender-neutral toilets and at the start of this academic year we had a number of students here visit the Students' Union and tell us exactly that."
The LGBTQ Society and "members of the student population" were consulted about the move, the university said.
They were the last of four major titles for the world number three from Northern Ireland, and he is determined to add to that tally in 2016.
"I feel with this win I can go and replicate my summer in 2014 and win a couple of majors," said McIlroy.
"If I don't win a major this summer, I will be very disappointed."
The 27-year-old's success at the K Club on Sunday was also his first victory of the season.

McIlroy, who has not won any of the past five major tournaments, is focusing on a seven-week period taking in the US Open, Open and US PGA.
"You would think that your game isn't going to change too much from the first to the seventh week," he added.
"I really want to build up to those seven weeks and make sure my game is in the best possible shape so I've a chance of of winning a major, which would be fantastic, but I want to try to compete in all three."

Prof Christopher Spry, 79, who lives in Heol Senni in the Brecon Beacons, had download speeds of about 500Kbps
He runs a community website and uploads weather data and nature videos, so paid £620 for satellite broadband, which comes from over the Democratic Republic of the Congo, via Luxembourg.
"It's an astonishing technological achievement," he said.
Where Prof Spry lives also has sporadic 3G coverage so he researched his options and decided to invest in satellite technology.
A BT spokesman said: "Heol Senni is in scope to benefit from the scheme and work to provide access to superfast broadband to this rural community is anticipated to be completed in the early autumn."
The retired professor of immunology pays £420 a year for his satellite internet, which gives him download speeds of up to 28Mbps.
His broadband signal travels about 50,000 miles from a dish in his back garden to the ASTRA 2F satellite over the Earth's equator and back, via a company in Luxembourg.
Companies such as Sky also use satellites similar to this to broadcast their TV signal.
"I'm interested in what's going on in the world, I'm a very inquisitive person, I'm asking questions all the time and I need to know so the web is a wonderful resource for all of us who need to know what's happening," he said.
He also pays £250 a year for BT broadband, which he uses as a backup as heavy rain or snow can block the satellite signal and leave him cut off.
But the nearest exchange is in Sennybridge - about five miles by road - so his broadband slows down when making the switch.
"It really makes all the difference in the world, without it I think my life would be quite difficult up here... but it does need a satellite 24,000 miles above the surface of the earth over the Congo - it does seem ridiculous doesn't it," he said.
"Without broadband we're living in a dark age, so let's hope everybody can have high speed broadband soon and they'll be able to use it for whatever they want - entertainment, education, research - it's a wonderful tool for everybody."
Despite his best efforts, nature can still throw a spanner in the works when it comes to his satellite connection: "It's pretty adequate for most of the programmes I need so I'm a happy rabbit - the only difficulty for me is that there's a tree in the way and I have to trim that!"
BT said more than nine out of every 10 homes and businesses in Wales were able to put in an order for superfast broadband.
The Welsh Government also runs a scheme called Access Broadband Cymru which helps provide funds for satellite connectivity for properties not covered by the Superfast Cymru scheme.
Nearly 600 homes and businesses have taken up the option since it started in January 2016.
The UK Government announced on Sunday that homes and businesses from all parts of the UK are set to benefit from universal high speed broadband.
Calvin Markall, 26, hit Hamid Ali Khan as he attempted to cross a road from his home to a playground in Riverside, Cardiff, in February 2015.
Markall, from Rumney, initially denied death by dangerous driving but changed his plea to guilty at Newport Crown Court on 7 January.
He was also banned from driving for three years.
The court heard witnesses estimated Markall was driving a white Audi S3 at up to 70mph on Ninian Park Road, a built-up area with a 30mph limit.
Markall drove away briefly after the incident and seemed "panicky", according to witnesses, but then returned to the scene and identified himself to police.
He told officers: "I'm just concerned about the boy," who he said appeared in the road adding: "There was no way I could stop."
After his arrest he told police: "I can't believe I've taken a life."
In mitigation, Robin Howat said Markall had removed his car from the scene in order to park it, and returned immediately, within nine minutes of the 999 call.
He said because of the width of the road, Markall would have had 1.5 seconds to react to Hamid crossing the road.
The court was told Markall was jailed for 10 years in prison for drugs offences in 2009, and had been released in December 2014.
The judge, Thomas Crowther QC, said no blame should be attached to Fitzalan High School pupil Hamid and the situation was "entirely Mr Markall's making" due to his speed.
A witness impact statement from Hamid's father Sarfaraz Khan was read in court and he said he felt no anger towards Markall, whose actions he described as "stupid" and "immature".
"Our whole family are completely devastated after our little angel Hamid passed away," he said.
"Every Friday at this time [when the incident happened] we always think about him and just hope he will walk through the door but this will never happen."
Sentencing Markall, Judge Crowther told him he had placed value on "status, image and thrills", and had enjoyed driving the white Audi around Cardiff.
He said: "Hamid was at the centre of a large family and was particularly close to his brother Yusef. His family is bereft.
"No sentence I can pass can repair the damage that's been caused or begin to value the life that's been thrown away."
He described the events as a "short course of utterly irresponsible driving" and said: "There was a substantial risk of danger."
However he noted Markall had shown "genuine remorse", adding: "Perhaps you, as I have, will marvel at the dignity and humanity of Hamid's father who says he feels no anger."
The married airman in his late 20s was out running near RAF Marham in Norfolk on 20 July when he was ambushed by two men, but he managed to escape.
E-fits of the suspects led to some callers putting names to the faces.
Police said they were now following up these leads.
The airman, who has not been identified, said he was grabbed on Squires Hill by a man who tried to drag him towards a nearby car.
He fought back, knocking one to the ground, before the pair fled in a dark-coloured people carrier.

Norfolk Police made fresh appeals for information on Crimewatch and showed CCTV footage of cars travelling to and from a nearby shop, which they hope will trigger people's memories.

"The airman is not back to work yet - he's had a period of extended leave - but he's doing fine and will be returning to work in the not too distant future.
"I'm confident we can solve this, but it is going to take some time."

What may change significantly is the role of councils in the system.
In many respects, the school system is a national service which Scotland's 32 local authorities are entrusted to deliver.
The government has no intention of removing schools from council control - the question is more what powers councils may retain.
The presumption in this review will be to give as much power as possible to schools and head teachers.
If any power lies at a higher level, the case will need to be made for it.
As well as devolving powers to schools, new regional boards will help schools in different council areas work together.
The question is what actual powers and practical responsibilities councils will still have once these changes take effect.
For instance, schools may have more control over their budgets, how many teachers to have or what means to use to try to raise attainment.
Because teachers' terms and conditions of employment are nationally agreed, it might be argued that the new regional bodies - not councils - should actually employ teachers.
All those issues are likely to be raised in the coming months.
The direct impact on parents and learners may be less obvious - much would depend on the practical decisions made by newly-empowered schools.
However, an important question will be how to ensure that schools remain accountable to parents and the wider local community.
The Scottish Conservatives asked whether schools could be given the power to "opt out" of local government control - a power which they do not currently have.
It would not be unreasonable to speculate over just what "local government control" will actually mean once the impact of this review is being felt in practice.
Councils will still be major stakeholders in schools. But their role could be very different to the one they've had in Scotland for the past century.
Paige, 15, was reported missing in 2007. Her body has not been found.
Blackpool's coroner Alan Wilson said the cause of death was unascertained and he recorded a conclusion of unlawful killing.
Robert Ewing, 60, of Kincraig Place, Bispham, was convicted of Paige's murder last July following a trial at Preston Crown Court.
The court heard Ewing exploited the vulnerable teenager for his sexual gratification and then decided to silence her when she threatened to go to the authorities.
He is serving a life term and will stay in jail for at least 33 years.
Gareth Dewhurst, 46, of Duncan Avenue, Bispham, who was found guilty of helping dispose of the body, was jailed for eight years.
Police say they "remain committed" to finding Paige's body.
Renowned cosmologist Roger Penrose said that analysis of this cosmic microwave background showed echoes of previous Big Bang-like events.
The events appear as "rings" around galaxy clusters in which the variation in the background is unusually low.
The unpublished research has been posted on the Arxiv website.
The ideas within it support a theory developed by Professor Penrose - knighted in 1994 for his services to science - that upends the widely-held "inflationary theory".
That theory holds that the Universe was shaped by an unthinkably large and fast expansion from a single point.
Much of high-energy physics research aims to elucidate how the laws of nature evolved during the fleeting first instants of the Universe's being.
"I was never in favour of it, even from the start," said Professor Penrose.
"But if you're not accepting inflation, you've got to have something else which does what inflation does," he explained to BBC News.
"In the scheme that I'm proposing, you have an exponential expansion but it's not in our aeon - I use the term to describe [the period] from our Big Bang until the remote future.
"I claim that this aeon is one of a succession of such things, where the remote future of the previous aeons somehow becomes the Big Bang of our aeon."
This "conformal cyclic cosmology" (CCC) that Professor Penrose advocates allows that the laws of nature may evolve with time, but precludes the need to institute a theoretical beginning to the Universe.
Professor Penrose, of Oxford University, and his colleague Vahe Gurzadyan of Yerevan State University in Armenia, have now found what they believe is evidence of events that predate the Big Bang, and that support CCC.
They looked at data from vast surveys of the cosmic microwave background - the constant, nearly uniform low-temperature glow that fills the Universe we see.
They surveyed nearly 11,000 locations, looking for directions in the sky where, at some point in the past, vast galaxies circling one another may have collided.
The supermassive black holes at their centres would have merged, turning some of their mass into tremendous bursts of energy.
The CCC theory holds that the same object may have undergone the same processes more than once in history, and each would have sent a "shockwave" of energy propagating outward.
The search turned up 12 candidates that showed concentric circles consistent with the idea - some with as many as five rings, representing five massive events coming from the same object through the course of history.
The suggestion is that the rings - representing unexpected order in a vast sky of disorder - represent pre-Big Bang events, toward the end of the last "aeon".
"Inflation [theory] is supposed to have ironed all of these irregularities out," said Professor Penrose.
"How do you suddenly get something that is making these whacking big explosions just before inflation turns off? To my way of thinking that's pretty hard to make sense of."
Shaun Cole of the University of Durham's computational cosmology group, called the research "impressive".
"It's a revolutionary theory and here there appears to be some data that supports it," he told BBC News.
"In the standard Big Bang model, there's nothing cyclic; it has a beginning and it has no end.
"The philosophical question that's sensible to ask is 'what came before the Big Bang?'; and what they're striving for here is to do away with that 'there's nothing before' answer by making it cyclical."
Professor Cole said he was surprised that the statistical variation in the microwave background data was the most obvious signature of what could be such a revolutionary idea, however.
"It's not clear from their theory that they have a complete model of the fluctuations, but is that the only thing that should be going on?
"There are other things that could be going on in the last part of the previous aeon; why don't they show even greater imprints?"
Professors Penrose and Cole both say that the idea should be shored up by further analyses of this type, in particular with data that will soon be available from the Planck telescope, designed to study the microwave background with unprecedented precision.
That is the finding of a Northern Ireland Audit Office (NIAO) report that is critical of the Department of Education's efforts to reduce the number of empty places.
The report also said school "leadership in post-primaries" must be improved.
There are also too many small schools in Northern Ireland, it added.
However, the report also said that the department does not have a standard method for calculating school capacity.
It found that, although they need additional funding, "there is no evidence that educational attainment at small schools is better than their larger counterparts".
The report, from the auditor general Kieran Donnelly, into the sustainability of schools takes as its starting point a review of education in Northern Ireland carried out by Sir George Bain in 2006.
It charts progress on some of the measures highlighted in that review.
The Bain review found that there were about 53,000 surplus places in schools in Northern Ireland, about 15% of school capacity.
It recommended the number of empty places should not exceed 10% of the school population.
However, the NIAO found that the number of empty places now totals over 71,000, about 20% of capacity.
It said that is "unacceptably high", and it criticises the Department of Education for not setting any targets for reducing the number of empty places in schools, or knowing how much those empty places cost.
Children with statements of special educational needs are excluded from the figures, for instance, so the number of surplus places may be "overstated".
The NIAO also sais that while there have been improvements in school performance, over a third of pupils leave school with fewer than five A*-C grades at GCSE, including English and maths.
It said that "the quality of leadership and management is not good enough in a significant minority of post-primary schools", and that there are "persistent shortcomings" in the quality of teaching in some schools.
Using figures from the chief inspector of schools, the report said that "overall effectiveness needs to improve in the 37% of the post-primary schools inspected which were evaluated as less than good".
It said that these shortcomings need to be "addressed urgently if the provision and outcomes are to improve from average to world-class".
The Bain review also recommended target enrolments for schools, and concluded that fewer larger schools were needed.
It said that the minimum enrolment for primary schools should be 140 in urban areas and 105 in rural areas.
For post-primary schools, the minimum numbers in years eight to 12 should be 500 and for those with a sixth form there should be a minimum of 100 pupils in the sixth form.
The NIAO said that 36% of primary schools here still have fewer than 105 pupils, while 47% of post-primaries have fewer than 500 pupils in years eight to 12.
It found that "there are still too many small schools which require additional funding".
Small schools get extra money from the Department of Education to enable them to deliver all of the curriculum.
In 2014-15, about £36m - 3% of the overall school budget - was extra money allocated to small schools.
The audit office report said "this can be seen as a grant to maintain a school which is financially unsustainable".
It also said that "there is no demonstrable evidence that educational attainment at small schools is better than their larger counterparts".
However, the report did not say that smaller schools perform worse than larger ones.
The report recommends a number of improvements to the Department of Education's sustainable schools policy and area planning.
Two floodlight pylons were demolished by high winds in storms that hit mid and west Wales on Thursday.
The damage led to the postponement of Friday's scheduled Welsh Premier League match against Cefn Druids.
Director David Evans said £30,000 would be needed "just be to re-instate the floodlights" but loss of sponsorship and bookings would add to the bill.
"Two of the pylons on the clubhouse and the Rhun Owen Stand side of the ground have been literally been blown over, the columns have buckled," said Evans.
"I've never seen wind like that in Aberystwyth and they've been blown down onto the pitch."
Evans told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme that in addition to the repair bill the club would lose revenue because of cancelled bookings for their newly-opened artificial pitch and sponsorship for the postponed match.
The storms caused extensive damage in the area, with the RNLI station in Aberystwyth recording a strongest gust of 94mph shortly after 10:30 GMT.
These are just some of the reactions to Barcelona's astonishing Champions League comeback from a 4-0 first-leg defeat by Paris St-Germain.
The Catalans turned the tie on its head - and scrambled the senses of fans worldwide - by winning the return leg 6-1 at the Nou Camp. They were 5-3 down on aggregate in the 88th minute.
Social media sites were ablaze with comment but one Tweet, from Dunfermline Athletic's official account, stood out.
".@FCBarcelona... congratulations guys.... fancy a friendly to say sorry for taking our record," read the tongue-in-cheek invite from the Scottish Championship club.
So, what is the record the Fifers are referring to, and is it the finest comeback involving a Scottish team in Europe?
Valencia won the 1961-62 Fairs Cup by beating Barcelona 7-3 on aggregate. The following season the holders journeyed to East End Park on an icy night just before Christmas boasting a 4-0 lead from the first leg.
Manager Jock Stein, less than three years before his appointment at Celtic, had urged his Dunfermline players to attack from the first whistle.
And the team, who had beaten Everton in the previous round, rattled the Spaniards with three goals within 17 minutes.
The Fifers then conceded a goal but scored two more to peg the match at 5-5 on aggregate at half-time.
Centre-half Jim MacLean deflected a shot into his own net to dampen the hosts' hopes before Alex Smith made it 6-2 on the night, 6-6 on aggregate.
In the days before the away goals rule, the tie was decided in a third game in Lisbon, which Valencia won 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals. The Spaniards went on to retain the trophy with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Dinamo Zagreb.
Arguably, Kilmarnock's feat against Eintracht Frankfurt in their first year in European football trumps the Pars' claim.
The Germans, who had lost 7-3 to Real Madrid in the famous 1960 European Cup final at Hampden, were 3-0 up from the first leg.
And they looked to have killed off any Killie hopes of progressing to round two of the Fairs Cup when they scored within two minutes at Rugby Park to make it 4-0.
But the 14,930 fans roared the hosts forward and Ronnie Hamilton netted twice with Brian McIlroy, James McFadzean and John McInally also scoring to seal a sensational comeback.
Celtic came close to over-turning a 5-0 first-leg defeat by Artmedia Bratislava in 2005, winning the second leg 4-0. But can anything better those games involving Killie and the Pars?

The man, 20, was left with a broken jaw after being "repeatedly punched in the face" by members of a large group of young people in Victoria Park, Taunton.
Police are appealing for any mobile phone footage of the attack, which happened at about 17:00 BST on Friday.
Two boys, 16, were arrested then bailed. Four others were later arrested on suspicion of disorder.
"This was a violent and disturbing attack in which the victim and his friends were threatened and intimidated by a large group of people," a force spokesman said.
"There can never be any excuse for hate crime or violence in any shape or form and this criminality will not be tolerated."
Alaa Badr Abdullah al-Hashemi, a 30-year-old Emirati, was found guilty last month of the murder of Ibolya Ryan.
The 47-year-old's body was discovered in the toilets of a shopping centre in Abu Dhabi. Her 11-year-old twin sons had been waiting outside for her.
Hashemi was also convicted of planting a bomb outside the flat of an American-Egyptian doctor.
The bomb was discovered and dismantled before it exploded.
The attorney general for state security prosecution told the official Wam news agency that Hashemi was executed on Monday morning after approval was given by the UAE's president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The report did not disclose how Hashemi was killed, but it came only two weeks after the Federal Supreme Court delivered a guilty verdict that was not eligible for appeal.
Police said the mother of six had become radicalised over the internet and had been looking for a foreigner to kill at random.
Hashemi told prosecutors that she had been angered by the detention of her husband by the security services and had wanted to spread fear among Western expatriates, according to the Abu Dhabi-based newspaper, The National.
Hashemi also asked the court during her trial to provide her with psychological help, complaining that she had "unreal visions" and saw "ghost-like people". The court ordered tests which it said showed she had been aware of her actions.
While UAE law allows for the death penalty, executions are rare. The last known execution was in January 2014, when a Sri Lankan migrant worker convicted of murder was shot dead by a firing squad.
The 29-year-old was arrested and held custody following an incident where a 24-year-old woman was attacked on Dixon Road in the early hours of Monday, 19 May.
Police Scotland launched a high-profile inquiry after the attack.
A report is being prepared for the procurator fiscal and the man is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
The assault took place at a block of flats on Syme Road at about 10:30 on Friday.
The attacker, who ran off, was described as wearing a light blue, hooded top with the hood up.
The postman suffered bruising to his face and a black eye. Police have asked anyone with information or who witnessed the attack to contact them.
Chief executive Martin Slumbers removed the Scottish course from the Open rota when a vote to change its all-male membership policy failed to gain the required two-thirds majority last year.
Slumbers told BBC Sport that Muirfield's "closeness with the Claret Jug is very important".
The result of the latest ballot is expected to be published next month.
In a wide ranging-interview, Slumbers also:
Slumbers said Muirfield not overturning its all-male membership policy last year had been damaging for the game.
"I think it created a lot of negative press," he said. "We need more positive views of this wonderful game and growth that is going on in the game.
"I'd like to see far more of those stories, plus I do believe that if we are going to grow participation in the game, family golf is at the heart of that strategy."
Muirfield will only return to the Open rota if it changes its membership policy.
International Olympic Committee vice-president John Coates has told Reuters that women must have full membership rights at the host club for the Tokyo Games in 2020.
The private Kasumigaseki Country Club, scheduled to stage the men's and women's tournaments, forbids females from playing on Sundays and does not allow them full membership.
"The IOC's charter is extremely clear on equality," Slumbers said.
The R&A is part of the International Golf Federation, which runs the sport in the Olympics, and Slumbers stressed the IGF fully supports this policy.
"I think there would be serious reconsideration on the venue if there wasn't a change," he added.
Donald Trump's presidency of the United States is having no effect on his Turnberry course's chances of staging another Open.
"Turnberry remains absolutely as one of our nine golf courses," Slumbers said. "I also said last year that it's clear 2020 and '21 did not involve Turnberry in that discussion, and we will be thinking about '22 not for at least another year."
Slumbers is keen to separate the sport from politics but suggested having the president of the United States so prominent in golf has changed the landscape.
"For all of us in the game, we are in uncharted territory here with the president's family owning golf courses," he added.
"We're all learning as we go. But I think it's important for us that we understand where the game is and make sure we keep to that, without ignoring all the other factors that go around it."
And it seems, like Rory McIlroy, the R&A boss would accept an invitation to play golf with the president.
"With all senior people in the world, I think it's polite and respectful to listen to them and work with them," Slumbers said.
"It's very important that we work with the president if Turnberry did come back on. It would be foolhardy not to."
Elsewhere, the effects of another political change are being felt at the R&A's St Andrews headquarters.
It is considering paying Open prize money in dollars following the post-Brexit collapse in the value of sterling.
Pressure is growing on the Championship purse at a time when the US Open is offering a record prize fund of $12m (£9.6m).
Last year's Open was worth £6.5m, which at current rates is worth a fraction over $8m.
"It's certainly an issue," Slumbers admitted. "When dollar/sterling moves 1.50 to 1.25 that has a serious impact for us."
The prize money for this year's Championship at Royal Birkdale will be announced in June.
"I'd hate to see the Open not have prize money at the top end," Slumbers said.
"This is a professional game, the players play for money so [paying out in] dollars is one option that we are considering quite carefully."
American player Pat Perez has been heavily criticised for not shouting "fore" before his ball struck three fans in separate incidents during the third round of last week's Genesis Open.
Ireland's Shane Lowry tweeted: "What's it gonna take for players to start shouting fore? A signed ball or glove is no good to anyone if they are seriously injured."
Slumbers stressed it is R&A policy to remind players of their responsibilities in this regard before rounds in the Open.
"Putting spectators at potential risk is something that can happen in professional golf when the fairways are lined," he said. "And so, for the players and caddies, it's only right that they should be shouting 'fore' more often.
"I think there are enough people who have the same view as I do across all the tours, who think that the etiquette is extremely important to golf as a game and a product."

Despite spells of Welsh pressure, the ruthless Black Ferns led 20-0 at half-time with tries for Selica Winiata, Stacey Waaka and two for Renee Wickliffe.
Portia Woodman and Eloise Blackwell added tries after the break, before Sioned Harries crashed over for Wales.
Melissa Clay also crossed for Wales, but Winiata completed her hat-trick.
That added gloss to New Zealand's impressive win.
Drawn alongside four-time champions New Zealand and 2014 runners-up Canada in arguably the World Cup's toughest group, Wales were given next to no chance of reaching the semi-finals in most pre-tournament predictions.
They had mustered just one win during this year's Six Nations but, with a youthful and exuberant squad, they arrived in Ireland with hopes of confounding expectations.
Rowland Phillips' side offered spirited resistance against New Zealand and enjoyed a prolonged period of pressure in the first half.
But they could not find a way beyond the imposing wall, and the Black Ferns ruthlessly exploited Wales' profligacy as Winiata and Wickliffe both scored tries on the cusp of half-time.
It was a harsh lesson but one Wales learned from, with Harries and Clay's second-half tries offering reasons to be hopeful ahead of Thursday's encounter with Canada.

New Zealand started this tournament ranked second in the world behind reigning champions England, but their unrivalled four World Cup titles - all won in succession - were evidence of their enormous pedigree.
The Black Ferns' shock defeat against Ireland in their opening 2014 World Cup fixture was as monumental as the 20-match winning run in the competition it had brought to an end, stretching back to 1991.
That only served to inspire Glenn Moore's side and, after embarking on another 13-game victorious streak halted by England in June, New Zealand were determined not to allow history to repeat itself in Dublin.

They have never lost to Wales and that record never looked in doubt.
Despite Wales' dogged effort, they were no match for the Black Ferns' blistering back line.
The back three of Winiata, Woodman and Wickliffe looked particularly dangerous and, although stiffer challenges await, this was an impressive statement of intent from New Zealand.
Wales coach Rowland Phillips told BBC Wales: "We're disappointed with the result. The performance actually warranted a better score than how it ended up.
"But from a positive point of view, so much good came out of the game for us.
"Our set-piece was certainly a massive positive and the way we played at times, scoring two tries and creating other opportunities we didn't take.
"We have to look at that performance as a positive for us to keep building through the competition."

An election leaflet for David Simpson claims that he "visited British troops on the frontline of Afghanistan".
The former Upper Bann MP was due to visit in 2010 but was prevented from going to the war-torn country because he was too big to fit in a flak jacket.
As a result, the Army prevented him from travelling.
A DUP spokesman said Mr Simpson had "witnessed the bravery of our soldiers in Iraq", rather than Afghanistan, and the claim on the election leaflet was due to a "printing error".
Mr Simpson was due to be accompanied on the 2010 Afghanistan trip to visit soldiers of the Royal Irish Regiment and Irish Guards by the former Ulster Unionist peer Lord Maginnis but he was also unable to fit into an armoured jacket.
At the time, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said: "Nobody is allowed to board an aircraft to Afghanistan without correctly fitting body armour.
"The MoD provides a whole range of sizes, but regrettably none was suitable on this occasion.
"We recognise the importance of MPs visiting Afghanistan, but this trip has been postponed while we try to source sufficiently-sized body armour."
He gained a reputation as a persistent, often waspish, interrogator whose withering putdowns became a feature of his time in Parliament.
A practising Jew, he was best known for his fierce opposition to the policies of the Israeli government and its treatment of the Palestinians.
Possessed of a sardonic wit, he was a prolific writer and columnist who also wrote satirical sketches for the BBC, an organisation that he later frequently criticised.
Gerald Bernard Kaufman was born in Leeds on 21 June 1930, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants.
A scholarship took him to the fee-paying Leeds Grammar School, and he won an Exhibition to Queens College, Oxford, from where he graduated with a degree in philosophy, politics and economics.
While at Oxford he immersed himself in politics and, as the secretary of the University Labour Club, he was instrumental in preventing a student named Rupert Murdoch from standing for office, after the Australian was found to be breaking the rules by canvassing for the position.
On leaving university he set out to find a parliamentary seat. After a brief spell as assistant secretary of the Fabian Society, he was selected to fight Bromley in the 1955 general election. He was roundly defeated by the Conservative candidate, the future Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
Four years later he failed at Gillingham, another safe Conservative seat where the Labour vote actually fell.
He had secured a job on the Daily Mirror, where he often wrote leaders. In 1964 he moved to the New Statesman for a short time before working for the Labour Party as a press officer, in which post he became a member of one of Prime Minister Harold Wilson's so-called "kitchen cabinet".
It was while visiting his mother in Leeds in November 1962 that he saw the first episode of the BBC's satirical programme That Was the Week That Was. Back in his Daily Mirror office, he phoned the producer, Ned Sherrin, and told him he had an idea for a sketch.
"He had no idea who I was," Kaufman later recalled, "but he said, 'Write it and I'll send a taxi in the morning to pick it up.'"
It led to Kaufman becoming a regular contributor to the show, best known for his Silent Men of Westminster, a satire on MPs who never spoke in the House.
Labour lost the 1970 general election, but Kaufman finally got into Parliament as the member for Manchester Ardwick. When Labour returned to power in 1974 he held junior ministerial posts in the Department of the Environment and the Department of Industry.
He became shadow environment secretary in 1980 and, three years later when his Ardwick seat disappeared in boundary changes, he moved to Manchester Gorton, becoming shadow home secretary after Margaret Thatcher won the 1983 election.
Kaufman was scathing about Labour's move to the left. He accused Tony Benn of nearly destroying the party when he stood as deputy leader in 1981. He later said he would have quit Parliament had Benn been successful.
He was equally critical of Michael Foot's leadership and famously described Labour's 1983 manifesto, which advocated, among other things, unilateral nuclear disarmament and renationalisation of recently privatised industries, as "the longest suicide note in history".
After a term as shadow foreign secretary, he returned to the back benches in 1992 and became chairman of the Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport.
There he was able to indulge in a series of attacks on what he called cultural elitism. His savaging of Mary Allen, then chief executive of the Royal Opera House, over her failure to account for spiralling costs, saw her resign her position.
The satirical TV puppet show, Spitting Image, lampooned Kaufman as the serial killer Hannibal Lecter, from The Silence of the Lambs.
He became notable for harsh criticism of BBC management and called for the BBC to be privatised, claiming that the corporation could be funded by big business.
He also castigated the BBC over its apology for the obscene calls made by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand to the actor Andrew Sachs, saying that it was "not enough".
Kaufman's most vocal attacks were reserved for Israel and its policies towards the Palestinians. A member of the Jewish Labour Movement, he called for economic sanctions against Israel and a ban on sales of arms.
In 2002 he broke a longstanding pledge never to visit Israel when he went there to make a BBC documentary called The End of An Affair, which charted his early infatuation with the Jewish state as a young student and how he later became disillusioned.
He launched a bitter attack on the Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon. "It is time to remind Sharon," he said, "that the Star of David belongs to all Jews, not to his repulsive government."
He often compared Israel's treatment of the Palestinians with South African apartheid and, described Israel's use of white phosphorus flares in the 2009 offensive in Gaza as "war crimes".
"I long ago gave up hope for the Israelis participating in a negotiated solution," he said in 2014.
Kaufman himself came under fire when the Daily Telegraph published its investigation into MPs' expenses in 2009. It emerged he had claimed more than £115,000 for work on his London flat and spent £8,000 on a large-screen TV and another £1,500 on a luxury rug.
Following the general election of May 2015, he became Father of the House, a title bestowed on the sitting MP who is not a minister who has the longest unbroken period of service in the House of Commons.
A prolific author, he wrote a number of books on the art and practice of politics.
Kaufman was not a clubbable man and not one to suffer fools either gladly or quietly, something that did not endear him to many of his parliamentary colleagues.
That, along with Labour's almost two decades of opposition, may well explain why a politician with undoubted intellect, and one of the pioneers of the New Labour project, never served in the cabinet of a Labour government.
Gerald Kaufman was knighted in 2004.
Fewer than one in ten adults in England and Wales now take drugs, according to the Home Office, but drug-related deaths have risen sharply.
The strategy will target psychoactive substances, performance-enhancing drugs and the misuse of prescribed medicines.
Drugs charities praised the strategy's focus on recovery, but raised concerns that budget cuts could affect delivery.
The strategy applies across England, with some elements spreading to Wales and Scotland.
New psychoactive substances (NPS), formerly known as legal highs, mimic the effects of other drugs, such as cannabis.
Last year, laws were introduced to criminalise the production, distribution, sale and supply of them, but they continue to fall into the hands of users.
Chemsex - using drugs as part of sexual activity - often involves crystal methamphetamine, GHB/GBL and mephedrone.
Government studies show the practice increases health risks, both mentally and physically, including aiding the spread of blood-borne infections and viruses.
It comes as the number of drug deaths in England and Wales increased by 10.3% to 2,479 in 2015, following rises of 14.9% in 2014 and 19.6% in 2013.
Home Office statistics show the number of adults aged between 16 and 59 who take drugs is at now at 8% - a 2.5% drop from 10 years ago.
In December 2010, with Home Office priorities centred on police reform and immigration, the last government drug strategy felt like a box-ticking exercise. Just 25 pages long, it contained little detail or original thinking and just one paragraph on the problem that was later to engulf prisons, legal highs.
The theme of the last strategy was supporting people to live a "drug-free life". It emphasised the need for "abstinence" and said too many users were reliant on drug-substitute treatments such as methadone.
The 2017 strategy makes no mention of abstinence or limiting methadone use, but it sets more demanding and wide-ranging measurements of treatment success.
At double the length of the previous document, there is a sense that the Home Office is more focused on the issue than before, prompted perhaps by the recent rise in drug deaths and the need to prevent a new generation of drug users sparking a fresh crime-wave.
The strategy includes:
Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who will chair a new cross-government drug strategy board, said she was "determined to confront the scale of this issue".
The chief executive of the drug treatment campaign Collective Voice, Paul Hayes, welcomed the fact that recovery was being put "at the heart" of the government's response.
While also welcoming the shift in the government's focus, Harry Shapiro, director of online advice service DrugWise, said he was concerned about a lack of funding.
"It has shifted from the 2010 strategy [when] there was an emphasis that recovery from addiction was just about abstinence," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"Anyone working in the sector knew that that wasn't the case, because if you are going to recover, you have got to have something to recover to.
"The government has recognised that more needs to be done in that area, but it all has to be delivered at a local level and local authorities are struggling with budgets, drug services are suffering from cuts."
Ron Hogg, the Police and Crime and Victims Commissioner in County Durham, said he agreed with a focus on helping users recover, but said it was "shameful" the strategy did not look into decriminalising drugs.
He said that in Portugal - where drugs were decriminalised 12 years ago - drug use, drug-related deaths and the number of people injecting had all fallen.
Home Office Minister Sarah Newton said she had looked at arguments for decriminalisation, but added: "When you look at all the other available evidence, we just don't agree."
The National Police Chiefs' Council's lead for drugs, Commander Simon Bray said police "will play our part" in delivering the plan.
The women - some of whom were said to be older with medical conditions - were attending the world premiere of Cate Blanchett's new film Carol.
Screen Daily said the festival had confirmed heels were obligatory for women at red carpet screenings.
However the director of the festival said the "rumours" were "unfounded".
Thierry Fremaux tweeted: "For the stairs, the regulations have not changed: 'No smoking, formal wear'. There is no mention of heels."
A note about dress codes on the festival's website appears to reinforce his point. It says "black tie /evening dress is required for gala screenings" - with no guidance on heel height.
Screen Daily first reported the story, after a "Cannes regular" told them how a woman wearing Rhinestone-encrusted flat shoes was denied entry.
The unnamed source said: "Someone I know was turned away for wearing nice flats, nothing you would wear to the beach. They were in their 50s. They told her she could go and buy appropriate shoes and come back."
Asif Kapadia, whose Amy Winehouse documentary screened at the festival last weekend, also tweeted that his wife had been challenged over wearing flat shoes, although she was eventually allowed in.
A spokesperson for the festival confirmed to the BBC on email: "Rules have not changed throughout the years (tuxedo, formal dress for gala screenings) and there is no specific mention about the height of the women's heels as well as for men's."
She added that hosts and hostesses were reminded of the rules.
The story provoked widespread outrage on Twitter, where the head of film at the SXSW festival, Janet Pierson, tweeted a link to the story with the words: "Why I don't go to Cannes".
British writer Caitlin Moran tweeted: "Utterly extraordinary it's reported that women - including those with disabilities - are being TURNED AWAY at Cannes for not wearing heels."
Buzzfeed's film critic Alison Willmore said actress Emily Blunt had been asked about the story at a press conference while promoting her own film, Sicario, at Cannes.
"I think everyone should wear flats," the Devil Wears Prada star said, according to Willmore..
Todd Haynes' film Carol, which is screening in competition, stars Blanchett and Rooney Mara and is about an illicit lesbian romance in 1950s New York
The festival said it had made efforts to address the gender imbalance between male and female directors this year, despite only two female directors being in competition.
They selected French director Emmanuelle Bercot's drama La Tete Haute (Standing Tall) to open the festival and organisers hosted a UN conference into equality on the red carpet.
Director Agnes Varda, who made her name during the French New Wave of the 1960s, will also become the first woman to receive an honorary Palme d'Or.
The Times arts correspondent Jack Malvern tweeted: "So much for the year of women."
Irish Times journalist Laura Slattery tweeted: "But Cannes, flat shoes are in fashion this year... Well, they definitely are now."
Colin Blake befriended widower Frank Willett in Kirby Hill, North Yorkshire, and took control of his finances.
Leeds Crown Court heard Blake sold Mr Willett's house after he moved to a care home and £85,000 of the money went into his business and land in France.
Blake, 60, of Parthenay, France, pleaded guilty to two counts of theft.
In 2000, Blake moved in next door to the 78-year-old ex-serviceman in Hill View, with Mr Willett relying on Blake and his wife Sally to help with doctors' visits and shopping.
Jo Shepherd, prosecuting, told the court Mr Willett was "confused and struggling to cope" and his immediate family was initially happy with the arrangement as they lived 330 miles away.
After two years of being neighbours, Blake became Mr Willett's main carer and took him to solicitors for a will to be drawn up making him "principal beneficiary", the court heard.
The prosecution said "Mr Blake had custody of Mr Willett's cheque book" and a lasting power of attorney was drawn up, giving him full control of Mr Willett's financial affairs.
In 2004, Mr Willetts was moved to a care home in Boroughbridge and Blake sold his home for £145,000, with war medals, photos and his late-wife's wedding ring disposed of or sold off, the court heard.
The court was told £15,000 was placed into the account of Blake's building firm, with £70,000 later invested in land in France.
In an impact statement, Mr Willett's daughter Leslie said Blake "cynically preyed on his confusion and vulnerability" before Mr Willett's death in 2009.
Mr Willett, who served in Normandy during World War II, had the last six years of his life "hijacked", the court heard.
Nick Johnson QC, defending, accepted the case showed a "high breach of trust", but his client had initially provided daily care for Mr Willett and became "like a son" to him.
Judge James Spencer QC, sentencing Blake, said: "I'm quite sure that you took advantage of his dependence as he deteriorated and you abused that level of trust.
"You helped yourself to his money to prop up your business, then when the house was sold you helped yourself to a considerable portion of the sale."
A proceeds of crime hearing was now due to take place, the court heard.
The crash happened on the A6, close to the entrance of Gulliver's Kingdom, in Matlock Bath at 17:20 BST on Saturday.
One cyclist died from serious injuries at the scene. Police could not confirm the severity of the second biker's injuries.
Derbyshire Police has asked anyone with information about the crash to contact the force.
The Italian will have the final say on selection while working alongside Alan Curtis - who had been placed in interim charge - until the end of the season.
Swansea, who sacked Garry Monk last month, are 18th in the Premier League.
Guidolin, 60, was at the Liberty Stadium for Monday's game with Watford but a club statement said he would only have a "watching brief".
"At the moment it's not a good situation for the club, but we have a good team," Guidolin told the club's website.
"In Italy, I helped my team finish in a good position in the table, and that's what I hope to achieve here at Swansea.
"At the moment everything is new to me, so I need three or four days to talk to the staff and players. After that, I will have a precise idea of things.
"Alan Curtis is a legend at Swansea, and this is important for me. He knows everything about the club."
Former Chelsea midfielder Gabriele Ambrosetti has joined Swansea's staff as coach following Guidolin's arrival.
The south Wales club placed Curtis in caretaker charge after Monk's departure and then announced on 7 January that the 61-year-old would continue as interim boss until the end of the season.
But after the 4-2 home loss to relegation rivals Sunderland, Curtis said he would be willing to step aside if the club found a new boss before the end of the campaign.
Guidolin has managed several clubs in Italy dating back to the late 1980s, including Palermo and Parma, as well as French league side Monaco.
He took charge of Serie A side Udinese over two spells, first in the late 1990s and then a stint from 2010 to 2014.
Udinese finished third in Serie A under Guidolin in 2012, equalling the club's best season in the Italian top flight.
He also achieved promotions with Parma, Palermo and Vicenza, and led the latter to an unlikely victory in the Coppa Italia in 1997.
Swans chairman Huw Jenkins travelled to South America in December to step up his search for Monk's successor, with Marcelo Bielsa the bookmakers' favourite for the role.
After the appointment of Guidolin, Jenkins said: "His experience and knowledge will be a huge asset to the club.
"He has an excellent record, especially with Udinese over the last few years. He created an Udinese side from a relatively small budget - compared to the rest of the league - that competed with the big teams in Serie A.
"He instilled a belief and motivation to compete and beat the best Italy had to offer. It is similar to what this football club is trying to do in the Premier League."
Swansea host Watford in the Premier League on Monday, before travelling to Everton on Sunday 24 January.
Having been knocked out of the FA Cup by League Two Oxford, Swansea do not have a fixture over the final weekend of January.
They then travel to West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday 2 February before back-to-back home games against Crystal Palace and Southampton.
The spelling errors, incorrect postcode and email address were spotted on the advert outside Shenfield railway station by Essex blogger Martin Ives.
Craig Marston, who took out the advert, said: "Surely somewhere down the line someone should have spotted that."
Colchester-based UK Media, which produced the advertisement, apologised for the mistakes and is investigating.
"We send the adverts out to client to sign off as accurate and true, so proofreading is a mixture of clients and us. But the fault lies with us, there's no doubt about it," said UK Media's contract manager Mike Allcock.
"I'm still trying to establish how this occurred."
Mr Marston said he was unaware of the mistakes in the ad, which has been on display for two years, before being contacted by the BBC.
He admitted he had not proofread the finished advertisement as he had asked the firm to copy a flyer which he said was free from errors.
"I put my whole year's ad budget into this. I'm stumped by how I gave them a flyer, and all they had to do was copy like for like," Mr Marston said.
"My six year old son could do it. I don't know why a big media firm can't."
The former Kilmarnock manager is in charge of Derry City, who compete in a February-October calendar in Ireland.
Rivals Dundalk came within one tie of the Champions League group stage before competing in the Europa League.
"There's only one negative with the summer season, the pre-season training is done in very wet conditions, that's the only one I have," said Shiels.
"The summer league certainly suits our style of play.
"With the exception of Celtic, who play a great brand of football, the other clubs, the Aberdeens and these teams, need to start playing with more innovation and then summer football I'd say is better for that type of game.
"It'll encourage coaches to put a brand there that's entertaining.
"We have to be mindful that the game was created for local villages to bring entertainment to the parish, to the community."
Shiels led Derry into Europe in his first season in charge and they will take their place in the Europa League qualifiers in June, when they will be midway through their domestic campaign.
Scottish clubs other than Celtic have struggled to make an impression in Europe in recent years.
Since 2011, Celtic are the only Scottish side to have competed in the group stage of either the Champions League or Europa League.
And Shiels said: "If there's good surfaces, which there will be [in summer], it will encourage entertainment and what's the point in having a full house if we're discouraging entertainment?
"Entertainment is at the top of our priority so it will enhance that and the chances of doing better in Europe."
Shiels parted company with Kilmarnock in 2013 having led them to the first League Cup in the club's history the year before.
The Northern Irishman, who was initially brought to Rugby Park as Mixu Paatelainen's assistant, was asked what he has made of the club since he left.
After a pause, he said: "Difficult. When I took the job, I said to my chairman, 'look, if I'm sacked, can you please give the job to someone who will continue to give the club an identity?'
"Kilmarnock are never going to win the league. Unless they turn into a Leicester City, their best hope is to win a knock-out tournament.
"Kilmarnock is a town that has had a lot of problems, losing a lot of their industry, so it's quite impoverished and the people of the town - which a football club is for - deserve an entertaining product.
"I explained all this and I said that, when I'm leaving, it's important that you bring in someone who is like me, who is going to develop young players and is going to give them identity back.
"How you win is so important to a club the size of Kilmarnock and I'm disappointed in that aspect."
Shiels was replaced at the Rugby Park helm with Allan Johnston, who - thanks primarily to the goals of Kris Boyd, prevented the club being relegated from the top flight.
"They didn't go for that type of manager," Shiels suggested. "I wish they'd have gone for someone who would go and play.
"Allan Johnston took over and, to be fair, Allan did his best, but I think it was the wrong type of manager at that time and I like Allan - it's not anything against Allan the person.
"But they needed someone in there who had a proven track record and having a football philosophy to entertain.
"They all need it and they all need to start getting their act together and entertain first and foremost. The results will then take care of themselves.
"Scottish footballers are technical, they're skilful. Over my lifetime, you go through all the players that have represented Scotland, they were right up there. Billy Bremner, Charlie Cook, you could go on and on."
Shiels could soon be facing Scottish sides again with the introduction of League of Ireland clubs to the Irn-Bru Challenge Cup from next season.
Sligo Rovers and Bray Wanderers, who finished fourth and fifth respectively last year, will join teams from Northern Ireland and Wales in the competition from next season after the latter two nations entered this term.
And Shiels believes sides across the Irish Sea could cause problems to sides in the Scottish top flight, let alone those competing in the Challenge Cup.
"It's good as long as they are good teams going in," Shiels added.
"Sligo play decent football and it'll be interesting to see how it goes because this is full-time in every sense. It's a very professional league.
"The Scottish Premiership is a better standard, but there's teams in the League of Ireland - and we're one of them - that could beat top clubs in Scotland.
"Maybe that's a bit audacious of me, but there are teams in our league that could do that.
"Over the piece, the Scottish Premiership, I have to be honest and say, is probably above the League of Ireland.
"In terms of winning games, they would beat us, but the style of play in the League of Ireland is way ahead of the Scotland if you take away Celtic."
A Transport Select Committee report cited the "woeful" experience of Southern passengers, who have faced months of industrial action and staff shortages.
Ministers were urged to "get a grip" on monitoring rail franchise agreements.
The Department for Transport (DfT) said improving Southern services was a priority for the government.
The RMT union, which is locked in a bitter dispute with the rail operator over the future role of conductors, said the report was an indictment of the failure of rail privatisation.
It was published as Southern timetables returned to normal after a three-day strike by union members.
A further 11 days of strikes are planned before Christmas.
Southern's owners, Govia Thameslink Rail (GTR) said the report covered many issues already in the public domain.
MPs said the evidence taken from rail passengers was dominated by problems faced by GTR.
The report considered whether the firm is now in default of its contractual obligations due to the substantial number of train cancellations.
"In normal circumstances, this would be grounds for termination of the contract," the report said.
The DfT's claim that no other operator could do a better job in the circumstances was no longer credible, the committee said.
On parts of the national rail network, passengers struggled daily to get the service they deserved, the report said.
It cited a number of other problems, including overcrowding, delays, complex ticketing and a lack of access for disabled passengers.
Committee chairman Louise Ellman said passengers must be "furious, and rightly so".
"The individual voices of customers suffering woeful service on Southern Railway, in particular, came through loud and clear during our inquiry," she said.
"GTR, RMT and the government are all culpable to some extent for the prolonged dispute, but passengers have borne the brunt."
Ms Ellman said the size of the rail network had barely increased despite passenger journeys more than doubling over the last 20 years.
"Passengers now contribute more than 70% of the industry's real income, but in too many places, passengers are badly serviced by train operating companies," she added.
The report recommended an automatic compensation scheme be set up to refund Southern passengers directly without the need to make a claim.
The DfT said it monitored the performance of all rail franchises and each franchise agreement contained clear penalty clauses for repeated poor performance.
"Simply changing the management or taking the franchise from GTR would not address the issues and would only create uncertainty and cause further disruption," it said in a statement.
GTR's CEO Charles Horton said the firm had submitted claims to the DfT for unforeseeable circumstances caused by industrial action that prevented it from fulfilling its contract.
"We recognise and fully accept that our service on parts of the GTR franchise has not been good enough and we are sincerely sorry to our passengers for that," he said.
"Our passengers have already seen 400 new vehicles on our network in the past two years [and] extended smart card technology across our network.
"We remain committed and determined to modernise the railway and deliver a better service for everyone."

Another 130 people were hurt in the blast which hit the last three carriages of the Moscow-to-St Petersburg Nevsky Express.
Nine of the 10 convicted are from the same family. They were arrested in the North Caucasus republic of Ingushetia.
Four were found guilty of murder. The others face 7 to 8-year jail terms.
The train was derailed by the blast.
As officials inspected the scene, near the town of Bologoye, around 400km (250 miles) north-west of Moscow, another explosion wounded an investigator.
Within days of the 2009 attack, an Islamist group in the North Caucasus said it was behind the bombing, claiming it had been ordered by Russia's most wanted man, Chechen separatist leader Doku Umarov.
Mr Umarov has been linked to a string of attacks including a January 2011 Moscow airport bombing in which 36 people died.
In March 2010, Russian forces launched a raid on the Ingush village of Ekazhevo. The authorities said they killed eight suspected militants, including the man they named as the gang's leader, Said Buryatsky, who was also known as Alexander Tikhomirov.
Of the ten men detained in Ekazhevo, nine were from the Kartoyev family.
A court in the central city of Tver on Tuesday found three members of the family and another man, Zelimkhan Aushev, guilty of murder, organising an act of terrorism and illegal arms trafficking, jailing them for life.
Six other Katoyev family-members face up to eight years in prison.
Lawyers acting for the 10 accused said they would appeal against the convictions, Ria news agency says.
The case was held behind closed doors, Russian media report, and the defence has questioned the forensic evidence used against the men.
As well as facing life terms in jail, the four men were ordered by the Tver regional court to pay 134m roubles (£2.7m; $4.3m) in compensation to Russian railways. | A university has introduced gender-neutral toilets in response to "a growing population of trans students".

The building society said prices rose by 0.6% compared with July, making the average cost of a home £206,145.
Prices in August were 5.6% higher than a year earlier, compared with 5.2% in July.
"The pick up in price growth is somewhat at odds with signs that housing market activity has slowed in recent months," Nationwide said.
On Tuesday, Bank of England figures indicated the number of mortgages approved by banks and building societies in July was at its lowest for a year and a half.
But Nationwide added that while buyer demand had softened, the number of new homes coming to market had also been low. That has kept the balance of demand and supply in check, which in turn has kept prices higher.
The future for property prices would be determined by the labour market and confidence amongst buyers, said Nationwide chief economist Robert Gardner.
He said High Street sales had held up well so far, but noted that most forecasters expected the economy to show "little growth" over the rest of the year.
However, the Bank of England's decision to cut its benchmark interest rate to 0.25% earlier this month would provide an immediate boost to many mortgage borrowers, he added.
The typical saving for a borrower on a variable rate is around £15 a month.
Some other economists said they expected house price growth to be weaker in the months ahead.
"We believe housing market activity is likely to be limited over the coming months, and prices will weaken as prolonged uncertainty following the UK's vote to leave the EU constrains consumer confidence and willingness to engage in major transactions," said Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight.
He predicted that house price growth will ease further towards the end of 2016, with a 5% fall in prices next year.
"While data from Nationwide point to resilient house price growth in August, leading indicators suggest that this won't last," said Hansen Lu, property economist with Capital Economics.

The Media Show presenter recently revealed he married his partner Rachel earlier this month, after being told he had "weeks, possibly months" to live.
His interviews with Eddie Mair on his cancer journey examined issues such as drug trials and reaction to treatment.
He was diagnosed last March with cancer of the oesophagus.
Hewlett died on Monday morning while listening to Bob Dylan with his family at the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London.
Mair announced his death on Monday's PM programme on Radio 4.
In a statement, his family said: "Over the last year, we have been overwhelmed by the support of friends, colleagues and Radio 4 listeners.
"The messages helped Steve enormously, especially over the last few months."
They also thanked staff at the Royal Marsden, along with Mair and "all the PM listeners".
BBC director general Tony Hall said: "Steve Hewlett was an exceptional journalist. His analysis of the media industry was always essential listening.
"Steve was a trusted voice that embodied everything positive in public service journalism. He was hugely popular not just with viewers and listeners, but with BBC staff.
"When I saw him last week, I told him how much I have admired his brave interviews with Eddie Mair about his treatment which he did with a candour and sense of inquiry that was typically Steve."
Analysis
By BBC media correspondent David Sillito
From Nationwide in the early 80s to presenting the Media Show on Radio Four, Steve Hewlett had a hugely varied career in journalism.
He was in charge of Panorama when it broadcast its controversial interview with Princess Diana - but in recent months the story he'd been telling had been rather more personal.
His interviews with Eddie Mair about his cancer treatment were brisk, factual, sometimes funny - often very moving and, above all, frank.
He was surprised by the response from listeners and readers of his Observer newspaper column. The hardest part, he said, wasn't facing up to death but telling those closest to him.
He knew what they meant to him - what hurt was realising how much he, in turn, meant to them.
Hewlett had been due to have a second round of immunotherapy when his consultant told him earlier this month that his liver could not cope with any more treatment and that he might not have long to live.
He said the news took a while to dawn on him, but that while he had been afraid of such news, he felt "more comfortable about it" having spoken to family and friends.
His ex-partner and three sons were present as he and his partner Rachel married in a hastily-arranged wedding at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea.
Hewlett explained in an interview last October why he decided to share his story: "Because I'm absolutely convinced that the more we talk about cancer - both to our families, friends and loved ones - the better it is for all concerned. Above all it's empowering for them.
"Don't get me wrong; telling my boys about my diagnosis was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. But dealing with this disease is far easier for me than it is for them. In the end I'm sure telling them everything - good and bad - is right."
Radio 4 controller Gwyneth Williams said: "Steve Hewlett will be much missed as an outstanding journalist.
"He was rational and informed, hard-nosed and witty, never taking himself too seriously but unpicking the stories he covered with great seriousness.
"We will certainly miss his weekly presence on Radio 4, and I will miss him personally as a longstanding colleague from the days when we worked together in news. We send our deepest sympathy to his family."
The Media Show will pay tribute to Hewlett on Wednesday.
Hewlett began his television career as a researcher at the BBC, working on programmes such as Nationwide, Watchdog and Panorama.
He also spent time working at Channel 4 before returning to the BBC to work on programmes such as Inside Story in the early 90s.
When editor of Panorama, the Princess Diana interview with Martin Bashir in 1995 was watched by more than 23 million viewers.
Hewlett was also controller of programmes for Carlton TV in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Nick Robinson, Radio 4's Today presenter who was treated for cancer in 2015, wrote a poem tribute to his friend and colleague on his Facebook page.
"I visited him in hospital a few days ago and wrote this knowing that I would almost certainly never see him again," he said in the post.
Here is an extract: "You know, I know, anyone who has faced it knows differently. Cancer is not a battle. There is no choice whether to fight let alone whether to win or lose.
"No amount of courage no measure of cowardice can decide the outcome. There is no virtue in survival. Certainly no lack of it in death.
"I lived. You now know that you will not. Luck. Chance. Fate. Nothing more. Nothing less."
Andrew Neil, a presenter on BBC Two's Daily Politics, was among those to pay tribute to Hewlett on Twitter, describing him as a "formidable" journalist with "intrinsic fairness and intellect".
Author Matthew Sweet added that Hewlett was "a consummate journalist reporting his own disappearance from the world."
"Steve Hewlett had many scoops as Panorama editor", tweeted Guardian journalist Lisa O'Carroll, the newspaper's Brexit correspondent, "but his best known was that Princess Diana interview".
Mair said on Monday's PM programme that they had decided there was "no voice they would rather hear than Steve himself" before playing several clips from his interviews over the last few months.

More than 13 others were injured, including the local police chief.
Security sources say the blast went off as officers raided an apartment in Giza, near the Pyramids.
The government has tightened security ahead of next week's fifth anniversary of the uprising that removed long-time Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
The so-called Islamic State said it was behind the blast, while Egyptian authorities blamed the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood movement of former President Mohammed Morsi.
"Police had information that a group of Muslim Brotherhood members were preparing to carry out aggressive acts in the coming days using explosives and crude bombs," the interior ministry said on its Facebook page.
"This group was using an apartment in a Cairo building, and on Thursday night the police raided this apartment where they found a number of crude bombs.
"When the bomb squad experts were dealing with one of the bombs, it exploded."
The Brotherhood has denied any involvement in violence and says it is committed to peaceful activism.
One Giza resident, Khaled, said: "When the bomb exploded, it also destroyed parts of the building behind it. We saw a man who was blown up in his bed.
"I then looked at the other side. I found body parts all over the ground."
Another resident, identified as Umm Sameh, whose home was damaged in the blast said: "No-one in the neighbourhood knew that they were terrorists. Had we known, we wouldn't have left them alone.
"The building is still new. The residents have only been here for six months at the most. So, we really didn't know them."
The 26-year-old had been due to hold talks about his future with head coach Lee Johnson but has chosen to move on in search of regular playing time.
"He's a lovely lad and I didn't really want to lose him because he's great in the dressing room," Johnson said.
"I felt I would find it difficult to promise him the number of games he wants at this stage of his career."

Barnardo's said of the 702 children it had supported over the past six months at five specialist units across the UK, 297 had been groomed online.
Of these, 182 had met their online groomer and suffered sexual abuse.
The charity said parents must to talk to their children about not revealing personal details to virtual friends.
The data - which was commissioned from Barnardo's by BBC Radio 5 Live - also found 146 children who were groomed online went on to be exploited by more than one person.
One father, whose 13-year-old-son was groomed online by multiple men aged between 20 and 50, said the perpetrators brainwashed his son.
"They were businessmen, teachers, and bus drivers. There was no common feature among them other than that they were all groomers and abusers.
"In some cases he [our son] would be in the same room as us with his laptop and as far as we were concerned he was talking with his friends or playing games and a lot of the time he was.
"But there were also times when he would be texting or communicating with these people.
"By the time we discovered it all they had brainwashed him. The groomers had persuaded him that they were his friends.
"It's like a wedge - they drive that wedge between the young victim and his family so that he saw us and others that were trying to help as the enemy and that emotional wedge is difficult to remove."
All the men who groomed and sexually abused the child in question are now in prison.
Jacqui Montgomery-Devlin, children's service manager for one of the Barnardo's centres which took part in the survey, said over the past five years they had seen an increase in the number of children being groomed over the internet and then going on to be sexually exploited and assaulted in person.
"The children referred to us who are being groomed online are still living at home and are often excelling at school with none of the very obvious vulnerabilities that we might see in some of the other children we work with.
"Mum and dad perhaps think their child is safely tucked up in their bedroom. But they may be communicating with groomers."
Barnardo's chief executive Javed Khan said: "This new research shows just how susceptible children are to being groomed online and then sexually abused offline.
"We're not talking about stereotypical vulnerable victims either - they can be anyone's child with access to mobile technology.
"Children make friends very quickly with people they've only just met online. They don't regard them as strangers, or see the risks they might pose".
A survey for Barnardo's last year revealed almost half of young people (48%) living at home said their parents only knew some of what they did online.
One in nine (11%) admitted their parents understood nothing about their online activity.
A third of young people (33%) questioned said they found it easier to show their real personality on the internet than with people face-to-face.

The Department of Work and Pensions says the average payment from its Social Fund scheme has increased year-on-year.
So what does £3700 buy you? Only the most basic of funerals. Funeral director fees make up the majority of the cost and their prices have gone up by 5% on average.
Added to that are the burial or cremation fees which have also risen. Cremations now cost £683 on average and burial fees £1,645.
But if you want flowers, a reception or a headstone then the average cost of all these extras is £2,323, bringing the total cost close to £6,000.
According to the Royal London report, to be published on 5 October, people are spending less on these items than a year ago, so it seems people are looking for ways of bringing the overall cost down.
When Caroline Barnett's former partner William died from cancer, the family decided to organise the whole funeral themselves. Caroline from Windsor is a humanist who conducts funerals and other ceremonies. But she says the rising cost was an important factor in their decision.
The family went on to the internet to learn how to shroud the body, picked flowers from the garden and hired a camper van to take him to a woodland burial site. It cost them around £1,900.
"William said he wanted something eco and something cheap because he wanted to spend his money on a party before he died, which we did," she said.
"You have to be quite tough to do this, but we felt it was so important to be real about it.
"The cost of funerals is rising very fast. I think we have a feeling in this culture that the more you pay the more you respect the person who's died. I don't get this at all."
There are big differences in the cost of a funeral depending on where you live, according to Royal London.
Most expensive
Beckenham £5,372
Southgate £5,161
Wandsworth £5,076
Cheapest
Belfast £3,008
Amersham £3,102
Yeovil £3,152
The most expensive place in the UK is Beckenham in London, where the cost of a burial is £7,216 and a cremation £3,529. The cheapest place is Belfast, where you'll pay about £3,000 for either.
Lytham St Annes in Lancashire had the sharpest rise in funeral costs - up 10%.
There is also evidence of the importance for people to shop around - with large differences in price between funeral directors in the same area.
In Wrexham, North Wales, one funeral director charged £3,157 compared to another whose price was £990 - a difference of more than £2,000.
The report also reveals how rising costs are causing real hardship for people on low incomes. It says around one-in-ten people struggle to pay for a funeral and the amount they owe has risen to an average debt of £1,318.
However, the overall amount owed to the funeral industry is down, possibly because people are becoming more savvy about price. For example, the amount people spend on a coffin dropped by more than £120.
Lauren O'Connell was left several thousand pounds in debt after organising her father's funeral when he died suddenly.
She says the funeral cost £4,500 despite choosing the cheapest coffin, and the price didn't include extras such as flowers and a reception.
Regulars at her father's local pub helped to pay for the deposit, but Lauren, who is on a low income, was left struggling to pay the rest of the bill. The cost was eventually met by a relative when she sold her house.
"The debt was a huge worry. I was getting phone calls from the funeral director who was a very nice man, but it's business to him at the end of the day," she said.
"My concern is for people who don't have a support network around them. What options are there for people who literally have nothing?"
Wrexham: Highest £3,157, lowest £990 - difference £2,167
Inverness: Highest £3000, lowest £1029 - difference £1,971
Havant: Highest £3122, lowest £1,295 - difference £1,827
People on low incomes can apply to the government's Social Fund Funeral Payment to help meet the cost of a funeral.
Royal London say the fund paid out £1,375 on average last year - a rise of 2% - but only a third of the cost of the average funeral.
About 60% of people who applied last year received some help.
The Department for Work and Pensions says 32,000 people received payments last year at a cost of £44m, and the average payment has increased year-on-year.
Report author Simon Cox said: "The rising cost of an average UK funeral is very concerning; it's outstripped inflation considerably for many years - almost in line with house price rises - which as we know continue to rise rapidly as demand outstrips supply.
"Our study shows people are striving to meet funeral price hikes, which they have little control over. Given the stressful situation, shopping around for a funeral is often not an option. Instead people are coping by cutting back on non-essentials if possible, and reconsidering how loved ones are buried.
"The UK funeral system still displays fundamental failings, which we reported last year. Vulnerable bereaved people are taking on increased debt; and we predict this problem will worsen if steps are not taken to tackle the many, persistent causes driving up the cost of funerals."
The National Association of Funeral Directors welcomed the report, which it said "highlights that the rising cost of a funeral can be attributed to many factors including the increasing scarcity of burial plots and fast-rising local authority fees for burials and cremations".
And it added: "Funeral firms offer a range of prices based upon different services offered and in response to local competition. This enables families to select a funeral director that is right for them. However, cost is not the only important factor.
"The NAFD advises people to select a funeral firm that has signed up to a strict code of practice and independent redress scheme such as our own, to ensure that they and their loved one will be properly and professionally cared for. "

The march began in Knottingley and finished with a rally and party at Kellingley Miners Welfare club, North Yorkshire.
Miners at Kellingley colliery, the last deep coal mine in the country, worked their last shift on Friday.
Samarco - co-owned by Vale and BHP Billiton - will pay 2bn reais in 2016 and 1.2bn each in 2017 and 2018.
The Brazilian government originally demanded 20bn reais to address what is considered the country's worst environmental disaster.
The accident triggered a mudslide that killed 19 people.
The mudslide also wiped out entire districts and polluted a major river in south-east Brazil.
"This agreement demonstrates our commitment to repairing the damage caused and to contributing to a lasting improvement in the Rio Doce," Samarco said in a statement.
Under the terms of the agreement Brazilian Vale and Australian BHP Billiton will be jointly responsible for the payments if Samarco cannot make them.
The money is being divided into two categories - environmental restoration and compensation for communities.
In February, a police investigation determined Samarco executive had been negligent. Six of the mine's executives including its president were charged with homicide.
Victoria Gayle, 32, pleaded guilty in December to preventing the lawful and decent burial of a child born in 2004.
Illness was blamed for her failure to appear at Kingston Crown Court. Sentencing was adjourned to 17 March.
Police officers involved in the case believe they saw Gayle nearby just before the hearing, the court heard.
Edward Brown QC, prosecuting, told the court that two detectives saw a vehicle being driven in an "erratic manner" and "they are convinced they saw the defendant driving the car".
Mr Brown said Gayle had proved unreliable in the past and was "a determined liar during the investigation".
He added "it seems to fit the past behaviour of the defendant".
Kate O'Raghallaigh, defending, said she was unsure whether Gayle was even able to drive.
She said her client was unwell and travelling to a hospital in Milton Keynes.
Judge Susan Tapping asked that documents be sent to prove that Gayle attended hospital, but that "she should be arrested if this is a device to avoid coming to court".
The court later confirmed it had been sent a document showing that she had attended a medical facility as a walk-in patient.
John Jamieson and Graham King, both 36, left Peter Shickle dying in his flat in Stevenage with 75 injuries last November, Luton Crown Court heard.
Jamieson, the instigator, was sentenced to a minimum term of 19 years and King was jailed for at least 16 years.
Both of Mr Shickle's daughters told the court they were traumatised about the level of violence inflicted on him.
Jamieson admitted he hit the father of two twice with the TV thinking Mr Shickle was holding a Stanley knife.
Judge Richard Foster told them: "The jury must have been satisfied that you entered his flat intending to inflict really serious bodily harm or death.
"You were both the aggressors throughout - this was not a case of excessive self defence."
A pathologist said his injuries were consistent with the TV being used as well as punches, kicks and stamps.
Dr Nat Carey told the court the 58 year old suffered a traumatic brain injury, 16 fractured ribs, damage to his voice box, a fracture to the nose and jaw and a split liver.
The court had been told that Jamieson from Wigram Way, Stevenage, and King, from Harrow Court, Stevenage, had gone to Mr Shickle's flat a few days after he had a row in a pub with Jamieson's mother.
Prosecutor Martin Mulgrew said Jamieson had decided on "a plan for brutal retribution".
King, who was described as "muscle back-up" did not give evidence, but his barrister Abbas Lakha QC said there was no evidence of his client going to the flat to cause any harm.
Both defendants were found guilty on Monday. Sentencing was delayed until Friday following psychiatric reports.

Watson, 24, failed to convert three match points in a dramatic final set as Germany's Beck triumphed in two hours and 52 minutes to reach round two.
The pair had resumed their rain-delayed match from Wednesday in the third set.
"I wasn't pleased with the match in general, how I played," said Watson, ranked 55th in the world.
"Having match points in the match, not being able to win here at Wimbledon, is the worst.
"I take losses badly anyway, but this is one of the worst."
Watson's serve was broken twice early in Thursday's final set but she went on to win four consecutive games to level.
After Watson wasted her match points, world number 43 Beck found the elusive break in the deciding set, which lasted one hour and 44 minutes.
Watson, who will compete in the doubles alongside compatriot Naomi Broady, said she had received "plenty" of online abuse following her defeat.
"I was just in the changing rooms with Naomi Broady and Tara Moore talking about it," she said.
"After a loss like this, I'm so angry with myself I feel like I need to punish myself. It wasn't a good day. I just went on Twitter. There was plenty."
Asked if she felt women players were targeted more than men, Watson added: "I'd say it's more women. I don't know why they bet on us because our results are all over the place.
"First of all, that's not very smart from them."
Watson, from Guernsey, has won three WTA titles and reached a career-high ranking of 38 but has yet to make it past the third round of a Grand Slam.
"I feel that I'm a lot better player than this, but my ranking doesn't lie," she said.
"I'm obviously lacking in areas. I just need to go back to the drawing board and keep trying and improving, because I really do believe that I can do a lot better than I have done in my career so far."
Jo Durie, former British number one and 1984 Wimbledon quarter-finalist
"It is a crushing defeat for Heather. When you have three match points in a row you think you're going to win one of them.
"But she got a little bit too passive and allowed Annika to take advantage. She was so devastated after not taking one of those opportunities, it was basically the end of the match.
"It was a difficult match because they are both similar players who like to counter-attack. Heather was trying to be more aggressive but missed too many at the wrong moments.
"She didn't have the boldness of play when she needed it and backed off a little bit."
Medics at Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan granted Sheila Marsh's last wish by arranging a visit from two of her horses outside the hospital.
The 77-year-old cancer patient died early on Tuesday.
Nurses said messages from around the world have helped her family.
The grandmother from Wigan, who used to work at Haydock Park Racecourse, had six horses, three dogs, three cats and other animals.
She "gently called" her favourite horse Bronwen, who then nuzzled her cheek while she lay in her bed, the hospital said.
Mrs Marsh's daughter Tina said she "thought the world of her animals".
Pauline Jones, nursing director at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust said: "We've had such an emotional response from far and wide, from Australia and Hong Kong.
"The emails we've had have been amazing, it's been beyond anything we could have imagined."
Skateboarding, surfing, karate, sports climbing and baseball/softball were all recommended for inclusion last month by the International Olympic Committee.
They have now been called "a dynamic and exciting package" by the IOC, with all five sports likely to be confirmed.
A final decision will be announced in Rio de Janeiro on 3 August.
That will be two days before the 2016 Games begin officially in the Brazilian city.
Each sport was analysed in a detailed report which said that the additions would "encompass both traditional and emerging events, all of which are popular both in Japan and internationally".
The IOC hopes to draw in new audiences by focusing on youth-oriented sports, and said in a statement that also important was "the impact on gender equality" and "legacy value".
The five added sports - which would not replace any of the 28 already on the schedule for Tokyo - would include 18 events and involve 474 athletes, the IOC has said.
If climbing is added, Britain could have a medal hope, after Shauna Coxsey became the first Briton to win the Bouldering World Cup last month.
Baseball and softball were included separately at the Olympics between 1992 and 2008, but have made a joint bid to be readmitted to the Games.
None of the other sports have been included before, though surf lifesaving was a demonstration sport at the Paris Games in 1900.

A Head Full Of Dreams had previously only peaked at number two - held off by Adele at the end of last year.
But their sales surged this week after the band's widely praised performance at the Super Bowl.
They took the the stage alongside Beyonce, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, performing to a television audience of around 112 million.
Their chart position this week means every one of the band's seven albums has now reached number one.
Adele's 25 remains at number two whilst last week's chart topper - the David Bowie hits collection Best Of Bowie - slides to third place.
Bowie also takes the number five slot with his most recently released album Blackstar.
Elton John is this week's highest new entry with Wonderful Crazy Night - giving him the 31st top 10 album of his career.
Meanwhile, Danish quartet Lukas Graham have topped the official singles chart with 7 Years.
They're the first Danish act to top the charts since Aqua in 1998.
The band have knocked last week's no. 1 - Zayn Malik's Pillowtalk - down to number two.
Lukas Graham's debut UK release climbed five places to claim the top spot, racking up combined weekly sales of 105,000, including 3.65 million streams.
That means around a third of the band's sales came from streaming - where 100 streams are equal to one physical or download purchase.
Rounding off this week's Top 5 are Jonas Blue & Dakota's Fast Car - a rework of the Tracy Chapman hit - Rihanna's Work, and Shawn Mendes' Stitches.
Teachers from his school, Little Heath Primary in Coventry, spoke of his stealing food from other children and scavenging in bins.
Teaching assistant Beatrice O'Brien told Birmingham Crown Court: "We watched him walk up to the bin, look to see if anyone was looking and pick out either the core of an apple or a pear and he started to eat it."
She said she found him "trying to get the last bit of yoghurt out" of an empty tube in another bin.
"I was very concerned. He did not look at all well and he had lost a lot of weight," she said.
The school raised concerns about his weight and the deputy head teacher rang Daniel's GP, who examined him and put him on a course of nutritional tablets.
An education welfare officer and the school nurse also visited his mother, Magdelena Luczak, 27.

Why were teachers' concerns for Daniel not acted upon?
She has been jailed, along with her partner Mariusz Krezolek, 34, after a jury at Birmingham Crown Court decided they first starved and then murdered Daniel.
But how much power do teachers have in getting concerns for a child's welfare followed up by the authorities?
David Tucker, head of policy at the NSPCC, said: "The worrying thing about this case is that there were teachers who were aware of the problems, they seemed to have taken some sort of action, but that course of action wasn't effective.
"There's a serious case review looking into that, so I wouldn't want to criticise anybody unfairly, but we need to understand what was happening between the school and children's social care."
The Coventry Safeguarding Children Board said it would publish a serious case review into Daniel's death in September.
The teaching union the NASUWT said it felt there was a "growing disconnect" between schools and social services because of government cuts.
General secretary Chris Keates said she believed the response schools got after making referrals often depended on the resources of the local authority, rather than how serious their concerns were.
"[Teachers] want timely action taken to investigate their concerns and reassurances that the child is safe while that is taking place," she said.
"There's a big gap that's been created by cuts and changes to government legislation, and that is not always happening."
One teacher from the West Midlands, who wanted to stay anonymous, said in her 10 years of experience, teachers had "minimal" influence on getting cases to social services level.
She said: "I had one child who, over a number of weeks, I noticed a few signs. He never said anything to me, but I noticed he was hungry coming into school, he was dirty. His clothes were never clean.
"I passed this on to our school safeguarding officer. It was then discussed at a CAF (Common Assessment Framework) meeting, but I had no further input after that.
"I know his mother was part of that meeting but don't know how far social services got involved."
She said she felt "left out of the loop" during the process but that early intervention did work in her instance.
The boy started attending the school breakfast club and his school work improved, she said.
Another teacher from North Staffordshire, who also did not want to be named, said teachers had to put "faith in the system and hope it worked".
He trained as a teacher in 2000 and was given mandatory online safeguarding training, which he said he felt was "adequate".
"You do feel powerless in the sense that what you want to do at the end of the day is to jump in your car and drive round to that family's house and shake them," he said.
"You just have to hope the school's child protection strategy kicks into place after your initial concern, and that the problem is dealt with by the right people."
The government announced new child protection guidelines for teachers in March, which it has just finished a consultation on.
It plans to reduce its original 120-page Safeguarding Children and Safer Recruitment in Education document, originally published in 2007, to about 30 pages.
The NASUWT said this reduction in guidelines would leave schools and teachers "extremely exposed".
Children may be experiencing abuse or neglect if they:

Ms Keates said: "Since 2010, when the government reduced red tape in the child protection system, a number of things have hit the floor that were there to protect not only children but teachers as well.
"Detailed guidance is being replaced with lines like 'You should make sure people are appropriately trained' without giving any detail about what that training should be.
"If something goes wrong the government can say 'We told you people should be appropriately trained' but they've taken away all the detail of what 'appropriate' is."
A spokesman for the Department of Education said teachers needed "to use their professional judgment to make commonsense decisions to protect children".
He said: "We have consulted on revised guidance which will allow schools and further education colleges to exercise their own judgement on how to respond to safeguarding issues based on their assessment of individual situations.
"We are analysing the responses and will publish the guidance in due course."
But this annoying behaviour may have a more profound undercurrent than we realise, according to scientists.
A new study of dog genetics reveals numerous genes involved in starch metabolism, compared with wolves.
It backs an idea that some dogs emerged from wolves that were able to scavenge and digest the food waste of early farmers, the team tells Nature journal.
No-one knows precisely when or how our ancestors became so intimately connected with dogs, but the archaeological evidence indicates it was many thousands of years ago.
One suggestion is that the modern mutt emerged from ancient hunter-gatherers' use of wolves as hunting companions or guards.
But another opinion holds that domestication started with wolves that stole our food leftovers and eventually came to live permanently around humans as a result.
"This second hypothesis says that when we settled down, and in conjunction with the development of agriculture, we produced waste dumps around our settlements; and suddenly there was this new food resource, a new niche, for wolves to make use of, and the wolf that was best able to make use of it became the ancestor of the dog," explained Erik Axelsson from Uppsala University.
"So, we think our findings fit well with this theory that the dog evolved on the waste dump," he told BBC News.
Dr Axelsson and colleagues examined the DNA of more than 50 modern dogs from breeds as diverse as the cocker spaniel and the German shepherd. They then compared their generic genetic information with those of 12 wolves taken from across the world.
The Swedish-US team scanned the DNA sequences of the two types of canid for regions of major difference. These would be locations likely to contain genes important in the rise of the domesticated dog.
Axelsson's group identified 36 such regions, carrying a little over a hundred genes. The analysis detected the presence of two major functional categories - genes involved in brain development and starch metabolism.
In the case of the latter, it seems dogs have many more genes that encode the enzymes needed to break down starch, something that would have been advantageous in an ancestor scavenging on the discarded wheat and other crop products of early farmers.
"Wolves also have these genes but they don't use them as efficiently as dogs," said Dr Axelsson.
"When we look at the wolf genome, we only see one copy of the gene [for the amylase enzyme] on each chromosome. When we look at the dog genome, we see a range from two to 15 copies; and on average a dog carries seven copies more than the wolf.
"That means the dog is a lot more efficient at making use of the nutrition in starch than the wolf."
As far as the brain development genes are concerned, these probably reflect some of the behavioural differences we now see in the two canids.
The dog is a much more docile creature, the likely consequence of early humans preferentially working with animals they found easier to tame.
"Previous experiments have indicated that when you select for a reduction in aggressiveness, you obviously get a tamer animal but you also get an animal that retains juvenile characteristics much longer during development, sometimes into adulthood," said Dr Axelsson.
This might go some way to explaining the oft-repeated observation that dogs are permanently stuck in a kind of puppyhood.
The study of the origin of dogs remains, in many ways, a puzzling field.
Fossil evidence suggests some populations could have been around tens of thousands of years ago, long before the emergence of agriculture. Some researchers have tried to use the regular rate at which error patterns appear in dog DNA as a kind clock to time their rise, but this has produced contradictory results.
One confounding issue might be that domestication happened more than once.
Dr Carles Vila, from the Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics Group at the Donana Biological Station in Seville, Spain, said the debate was wide open.
"I think that modern dogs derived from multiple wolf populations," he observed.
"It could be that dog domestication started once with some animals staying with humans which were then regularly back-crossed with wolves and that could have the same effect. But there could have been completely independent domestications. What is clear is that the number of bone remains is very rare more than 14,000 years ago."

Swatch is using the slogan to market a wristwatch containing a contactless payment chip.
Apple says the phrase unfairly references its Think Different campaign, which ran in the 1990s.
According to Swiss news site Watson, Swatch chief executive Nick Hayek said the similarity was purely coincidental.
He said the slogan was a nod to one of its own campaigns from the 1980s: "Always different, always new."
Apple used Think Different in its adverts from 1997 to 2002, in what was thought to be a response to IBM's Think ad campaign.
A 1998 television advert, featuring black-and-white images of historical figures such as Einstein and Gandhi, won an Emmy.
In the complaint to the Swiss Federal Administrative Court, Apple's lawyers Lenz & Staehelin said the tagline was long considered "the core of the Apple brand".
Legal experts say that, to win the case, Apple must show that Swatch's use of the phrase Tick Different provokes an association with Apple products in the minds of at least 50% of consumers.
A similar complaint lodged at the same time with the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property was rejected.
Swatch was granted trademark status for the phrase Tick Different in the US in 2015. It also has the trademark for the slogan in Switzerland.
This is not the first time the two companies have clashed.
In September last year, the UK Intellectual Property Office upheld Swatch's opposition to Apple's efforts to trademark "iWatch" in the UK.
It ruled that the term was too close to "iSwatch" and "Swatch".
They came first out of 21 teams by identifying details of six white wines and six red wines without seeing the bottle or label.
The French team came second and the US team came third, while former champions Spain slipped into 10th place and the UK only managed 11th.
The Chinese competitors put their success down to knowledge and luck.
But they did say competition was fierce to get on the team.
China's wine industry has grown in recent years as the country has begun to devote an increasing amount of its land to vineyards. Last year it had 799,000 hectares (1.97 million acres) of land dedicated to growing grapes, second only to Spain worldwide.
In 2011, a Chinese winery beat a host of French rivals to collect an international gold medal for one of its wines.
The Chinese team that competed on Saturday at the Chateau du Galoupet, one of France's biggest wine estates, included Liu Chunxia, ​​Tze Chien Chen, Xi Chen, Xianchen Ma and coach Alexander Brice Leboucq.
Their surprise win saw them perform best at identifying the 12 wines' countries of origin, grape varieties, vintages, producers and appellation (geographical areas).
Organisers from the French specialist magazine La Revue du vin de France wrote that the "astounding Chinese team" were "humble even in victory".
They "conceded that in blind tasting, 50% is knowledge and 50% is luck," the magazine continued.
Peter Barnes died when his aircraft struck a crane attached to St George Wharf Tower on 16 January 2013.
His partner said he had concerns over freezing fog but felt under pressure to pick up his friend, who was not aboard.
But, the owner of the firm that operated the helicopter told Southwark Coroner's Court claims Mr Barnes was under pressure were "rubbish".
The jury inquest is also being held into the death of pedestrian Matthew Wood who was killed when the aircraft hit the ground.
Five people were taken to hospital and seven more were treated at the scene.
The inquest heard Mr Barnes had 24 years flying experience, including work on James Bond films.
His partner Rebecca Dixon told jurors Mr Barnes had been on his way to collect long-term friend and restaurateur Richard Caring when the crash happened just before 08:00 GMT.
He had been flying from Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey to Elstree in Hertfordshire, but diverted to Battersea heliport in south London.
He had been worried about the fog, Ms Dixon said, but felt "a need to give it a go".
Senior coroner Andrew Harris asked her: "Was he a man who took risks?"
She replied: "Within limits. He knew what he could and couldn't do. I wouldn't say he took adverse risks."
She said "he was fit, well rested and in a good frame of mind".
The coroner read an extract from a toxicology report on Mr Barnes that confirmed "alcohol did not play a part in this incident".
On the day he died Mr Barnes was working on a freelance contract for RotorMotion, which is no longer trading.
Philip Amadeus, owner and chief pilot of the firm, said Mr Barnes was under "normal commercial pressure" to fly the Agusta 109 helicopter on the day of the crash.
Asked by the coroner if pressure had been put on Mr Barnes, he replied: "I would say that was rubbish. As a pilot myself I know of the difficulties of flying and I would not pressurise somebody into flying in dangerous conditions.
"He was under no more pressure than I would consider normal commercial pressure."
Mr Amadeus described the pilot as "someone you couldn't push around" and told the jury he did not contact Mr Barnes on the day of the crash.
He said the fact Mr Caring was a regular customer did not place the company under "any pressure" to ensure the flight operated.
The inquest also heard evidence from RotorMotion operations assistant Declan Lehane, who had drunk tea with Mr Barnes on the morning of the flight.
He said Mr Barnes had told him: "The weather might not allow landing at Elstree but I'll go and have a look to see if there's a hole in the cloud."
Asked about his own feelings, Mr Lehane said: "The weather was discussed but nothing that put my mind at doubt."
He explained that it was Mr Barnes's responsibility to check weather conditions before flying and recalled he was looking at forecasts.
He said helicopter pilots communicated with the firm by text message and a number of these were sent during the flight.
One read: "Can't get in at Elstree HDGB [heading back] assuming it's still clear (at Redhill)."
Pilots would normally make contact if there was a change of plan so it was a surprise to learn Mr Barnes was heading to Battersea, Mr Lehane said.
The inquest continues.
The changes - which come into force in July - will only apply to its US customers.
The eBay-owned company told the BBC that it "would honour any customers' requests to decline marketing outreach".
But no such opt-out is included in the terms and conditions.
Instead customers are invited to either accept or decline.
"If you do not agree to the amended user agreement, privacy policy or acceptable use policy, you may close your account before July 1, 2015 and you will not be bound by the amended terms," the document states.
A spokesman told the BBC that customers wanting to opt out of receiving marketing materials could do so by unsubscribing "notifications" in their settings.
"Privacy is central to the trusted relationship we have with our customers and we take this very seriously," he said.
The updated PayPal user agreement states: "You consent to receive autodialed or pre-recorded calls and text messages from PayPal at any telephone number that you have provided us or that we have otherwise obtained."
It goes on to say that it "may share your phone numbers with our affiliates," who the user must also agree to receiving so-called robocalls from.
The calls could be on a range of topics, including notifications about their account, troubleshooting and resolving disputes.
But they must also agree to calls that could "poll our opinions through surveys or questionnaires" and "offers and promotions".
The US's Federal Communications Commission is working to crack down on robocalls and spam email.
It plans to legalise technology that blocks such calls and wants telephone companies to offer the tools to their customers.
"People won't have to fill out a form and mail it in to stop unwanted calls and texts. Any reasonable way of saying "no" is allowed," wrote FCC chairman Tom Wheeler last month.
There have been 215,000 complaints to the FCC about the issue.
Conservative peer Lord Strathclyde said he wanted to "give clarity" quickly to age-old conventions which had been "capriciously" breached by the Lords.
He appeared to rule out recommending the creation of lots more Tory peers.
Labour said it was a "pretend crisis" and ministers wanted to "give the Lords a kicking" for doing its job properly.
Ministers have accused peers, who are overwhelmingly appointed, of overreaching themselves by holding up and seeking major changes to tax credit cuts approved three times by elected MPs.
They have questioned the authority of the Lords to challenge the Commons on such a major financial issue, saying it flew in the face of long-standing historical precedents.
Lord Strathclyde, the former leader of the House of Lords who is leading the review, told the BBC that the Lords had the "power but not the authority" to challenge the Commons over the issue, suggesting they had behaved "deplorably".
"We have developed very good ways of the unelected House of Lords protesting at what the House of Commons does but backing down," he told BBC Radio 4's The World at One. "On Monday, gleefully and capriciously the House of Lords voted it down so as to kind of engineer this semi-crisis."
Among the options open to him, he said, was to recommend amending the 1911 Parliament Act, which asserted the Commons' supremacy over the Lords, to prevent the Lords from being able to vote down or amend secondary legislation.
However, he scotched the idea - put forward by some Tory MPs - that a large number of peers could be created to give the government the working majority in the Lords it currently lacks: "I think that would be the wrong thing to do. It is the wrong way to deal with this particular problem."
The Tory peer added that he would like to complete his review "by the end of the year, perhaps sooner if possible".
Senior figures in the House of Lords have urged the government not to "punish" it for defying the Commons. Ex-Lords Speaker Baroness Hayman said it had done "what it classically does" in asking the government to "think again".
Analysis by BBC political reporter Brian Wheeler
The House of Lords is not traditionally supposed to block financial legislation that has the backing of MPs.
This principle was established in 1911 during the constitutional gridlock that followed a decision by peers to block the Liberal Party's "people's budget".
But nothing is ever cut and dried in Britain's fluid, unwritten constitution. And both sides are angrily trading precedents and claiming that their opponents are overstepping the mark. If they could only agree where the mark is.

She pointed out Commons Speaker John Bercow had said there had been no "procedural impropriety".
Downing Street said the review would examine "how to protect the ability of elected governments to secure their business", considering "how to secure the decisive role of the elected Commons in relation to its primacy on financial matters and secondary legislation".
But Labour is seeking more details about the review's terms of reference and who Lord Strathclyde will be consulting.
"It is clear that the government intends to give the House of Lords a kicking," said shadow Commons leader Chris Bryant.
"But it should remember, I think, as it fashions this pretend constitutional crisis that the vast majority of people in this country applauded the Lords on Monday because this was not in the government's manifesto."
The government has suffered 19 defeats in the Lords since May.
Critics say that it has mishandled the presentation of its tax credits policy and sought to enact the changes through a statutory instrument rather than a money bill, which the Lords cannot challenge, to restrict debate.
Before Monday's defeat, peers had only blocked so-called secondary legislation on five occasions since 1945 and never on a financial matter.
Under the motion passed by peers, the government would have to compensate people losing out from the £4.4bn cuts to tax credit payments.
In response, Chancellor George Osborne said he would listen to people's concerns and announce any modifications in next month's Autumn Statement but insisted he would press on with changes designed to save billions from welfare, claiming they had public support.
The Houthi-run government said the hall had been hit by an air strike carried out by the Saudi-led coalition backing the internationally-recognised government of Yemen.
The coalition has denied carrying out a strike, suggesting "other causes".
Thousands of civilians have been killed since the war began in 2014.
The attack targeted the funeral of the father of Houthi-appointed Interior Minister Galal al-Rawishan, an ally of the rebels and of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
One rescuer, Murad Tawfiq, described the scene as a "lake of blood", the Associated Press news agency reports.
Graphic photos circulating on social media show charred and mutilated bodies.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had prepared 300 body bags.
The ICRC's Rima Kamal told the BBC "several air strikes" had hit the venue where hundreds of civilians had been present.
The damage to the buildings was extensive.
A number of Houthi rebel military and security officials are believed to have been killed in the strike.
BBC correspondents say their presence could explain why the funeral was targeted, though it is likely many civilians were also there.
The government of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi is fighting both the Houthis and forces loyal to Mr Saleh.
Thousand of civilians have been killed since the Saudi-led air campaign started last March, the UN's rights body says.
Nearly three million people have been displaced in Yemen, one of the region's poorest countries, since the war began in 2014.
The Houthis took the capital then, forcing Mr Hadi's government to flee. Some ministers have since returned to the city of Aden.
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) was understood to be interested in a fixture between the world's top two sides before the end of the year.
However, England and New Zealand will not now meet until autumn 2018.
The Baa-Baas match against New Zealand replaces one previously announced against Australia.
"The entire Barbarians Committee would like to thank the RFU for approving this fixture against New Zealand," said John Spencer, chairman of the Barbarians.
"For the record, and contrary to some recent media reports, the Barbarians have a strong and very collaborative relationship with the RFU, and any suggestion that the RFU has not acted correctly in any part of the discussions around staging this fixture is unfair and wrong."
The Barbarians are next in action against England at Twickenham on Sunday, 28 May, before returning to Belfast's Kingspan Stadium to play Ulster on Thursday, 1 June.
England's record of 18 consecutive wins, equalling New Zealand's record total, came to an end at the weekend in the final Six Nations match against Ireland in Dublin.

Details of any fee for Liddle have not been disclosed by the two clubs.
"Gary is a model professional who has joined a club nearer to his home," said Chesterfield director of football Chris Turner.
Liddle's move comes after midfielder Russell Penn left Carlisle by mutual consent to join Wrexham.

The non-exclusive agreement with Jersey Ports allows the company to operate passenger, vehicle and freight services until 2024.
Condor says the agreement means it can invest in a new, larger fast ferry at a cost of £50m.
Guernsey's government has also agreed to extend a "memorandum of understanding" with Condor until 2018.
Jersey officials have negotiated a get-out clause that comes in after seven years if services are not running as expected.
Senator Alan Maclean, the Economic Development Minister, has previously said other ferry operators were welcome, but would have to provide the same level of service as Condor.

James had been left without a club when Notts County Ladies folded one day before the start of the Spring Series.
"After the disappointment of what happened at Notts County, I'm delighted to join Yeovil Ladies," she said.
"I'm looking forward to working with Jamie [Sherwood, Yeovil's manager], who I can't thank enough and the talented group of players we have here.
"The ambition is to get maximum points from the next four games, putting us in a strong position leading up to the winter season."
The visitors hit the front early when Angelo Balanta seized upon a misplaced pass and beat goalkeeper Sam Johnson with the aid of a deflection.
Gateshead rallied quickly and equalised within a couple of minutes. Toby Ajala swung in a corner and Ryan Bowman headed home.
Neil Aspin's hosts had much the better of a goalless second period. Danny Johnson hit a free-kick that Grant Smith saved and also planted an effort just wide.
Wes York almost enhanced his fine start to the season with a swift turn and strike at goal, but Smith was again in form.

George Mason University in Virginia said its law school would be called the Antonin Scalia School of Law.
The eagle-eyed immediately took to Twitter to point out that the acronym would be ASSoL.
The university has since renamed it as the Antonin Scalia Law School.
In a statement to students, the university said the new name was a "logical substitute" after the initial name "caused some acronym controversy on social media".
The renaming of the law school was a condition of an anonymous $30m (£21m) donation received by the university on 31 March.
The dean of the law school, Henry Butler, said the money would be received over the next five years and would be used to increase "the quantity and quality of students" over that time.

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.
But for some members of Cardiff's Somaliland community, the conflict in Syria is akin to a nightmare they have lived through.
"Maybe it was worse than Aleppo. There were bodies scattered everywhere, people dying in the streets, children," said Abdirahman Ahmed, about the war in his homeland.
He joined 150 people at Cardiff's city hall on Thursday to recognise the contribution of Welsh Somalilanders and to raise awareness of problems still afflicting the state 25 years after the war ended.
These include a lack of medical facilities, jobs or help for the large amount of men suffering from mental health problems and a crippling drought exacerbating the situation.
It was in 1870, after the opening of the Suez Canal, that men from Somaliland began travelling to Cardiff to work in the docks.
A community developed around Butetown and increased in size after 1969 when Somali dictator Mohamed Siad Barre seized power in a military coup.
Mr Ahmed, a health expert, was born in Burao in 1970 and said life was manageable until about 1984, when people started speaking out against the regime.
He said their voices were suppressed and a "power struggle" developed into a war in 1989, with Somalilanders intent on taking back control in their country.
With dissenters living in fear for their lives, constant shells and artillery fire, Mr Ahmed said he and his family fled, leaving everything behind.
"We walked miles and miles, about 150 in a few days. We would hide in the jungle during the day and just walk at night," he said.
"There were hundreds of people. We made it to a refugee camp in Ethiopia and luckily, my grandfather had been in the Navy and was retired in Cardiff.
"That connection with Wales, that 100 year friendship. Every elderly person in Cardiff requested a family reunion and me and my cousins were the lucky ones."
Mr Ahmed learned English, gained an environmental sciences degree and a teaching qualification before returning to Somaliland.
He worked voluntarily, helping to build hospitals and improve services as vice chairman of Somaliland's equivalent of the General Medical Council.
Now back in Cardiff, he works as a taxi driver while studying for a masters degree in biomedical science, adding: "My ambition is to revolutionise the health sector (in Somaliland)."
Another wanting to return is Faisal Isa, 49, who plans to seek election as an MP in the capital, Hargeisa.
He organised demonstrations in college before he fled in 1986.
Mr Isa spent five years as an asylum seeker in both Abu Dhabi and the Netherlands before studying to become a mechanical engineer, working for BP and Shell.
The Somaliland community drew him to Cardiff, which he believes is a good place for his five children to grow up. But he has other ambitions.
"The elections have been delayed until March 2017 because of the drought but it could be longer as there is no water and people are moving away," he said.
"I will move there if I win. The situation is so bad, I want to take examples from Wales and help people.
"People think they have to move abroad for a better life. But I want them to know there are a lot of good things that can happen there."
Another man looking forward to the elections in 2017 is Saeed Ebrahim - who wants to become a Labour councillor for the Butetown ward on Cardiff council.
His focus is on helping Somalilanders and other youths in his adopted city, many of whom would have been born in Wales.
After arriving in 1989, aged 10, he attended Willows High School, Tremorfa, played rugby for Cardiff Youth and gained a youth work degree from Cardiff Met.
He has been involved in projects across the city and sees the same problems affecting youngsters from different cultures, but thinks there should be a better understanding of where each comes from.
Mr Ebrahim believes many talented, young Somalilander professionals are lost to jobs teaching English abroad and should be encouraged to be more vocal in their pursuit of work in Cardiff.
Other issues include some being afraid to report hate crime and the threat of radicalisation.
"It needs to be brought to the surface, talked about and not tackled behind closed doors," he said.
But there is nothing that brings communities together quite like sport, according to Mohammed Yusuf.
He was one of the first appointments to the Welsh Refugee Council in 1994 and now provides training and employment opportunities to people in the area.
Mr Yusuf is also involved in a football tournament that tries to integrate the different communities like Somalilander, Yemeni, Palestinian, Sudanese and Bengali.
Last year, 1,000 people watched the winners - Somaliland - take on a South Wales Police side at the Principality Stadium.
"It brings people together and helps the different cultures understand how each lives and creates a better neighbourhood," he said.
"The police also have a role to play and it (the tournament) helps them understand the ethnic minorities and stops people being intimidated by them.
"Football is a good way - and it was an opportunity for the communities to represent themselves in the main stadium in Wales."
While many Welsh-Somalilanders left their homeland a long time ago, through playing sport, fundraising or simply using the language in their adopted country, they say it will never leave them.
Ms French, who lives in the county, said she had never been a chancellor before and planned to find out how she could best serve the students.
Students from the university - which was inaugurated in 2013 - designed the robes for her to wear.
To mark the event, a ceremony will also take place at King Charles the Martyr Church in Falmouth.
Talking about her outfit, Ms French said: "Honestly I couldn't be more delighted, it's a very modern shape, very contemporary and I've got a crown.
"It's so beautiful, I couldn't be doing with those Tudor bonnets that people wear.
"Honestly I think they make everyone look a bit like a hobbit."
The TV star played Geraldine Granger in BBC One sitcom The Vicar of Dibley.
She also starred in sketch show French and Saunders - with her comedy partner Jennifer Saunders - and Jam and Jerusalem.
Ross Queen, 30, of no fixed address, has been charged with prison mutiny, West Midlands Police said.
Mr Queen has been remanded in custody and is due to appear before Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Friday.
The disorder at the privately-run prison, which was understood to have involved up to 600 inmates, is being investigated.
It took place at the jail, in Winson Green, on 16 December. About £2m worth of damage was thought to have been caused.
Stairwells were set on fire and paper records destroyed during trouble in four wings of the category B prison, run by G4S.

Goals from Cameron Stewart and Mark Stafford put the Blues into an early 2-0 lead and Crues midfielder Paul Heatley was red-carded on 33 minutes.
Jordan Owens' header pulled a goal back for Crusaders before the break.
But any hopes Crusaders had of equalising were ended by a Stephen Lowry penalty 11 minutes from the end.
Having lost two finals last season, the Blues were eager to take the initiative at the Ballymena Showgrounds and they punished some nervy defending by their opponents.
An early free-kick from Stephen Lowry led Crusaders into conceding two quick corners and the second of those from Niall Quinn was ballooned towards the front of the six yard box where Stewart rose highest to score with a powerful header.
Quinn was creating havoc down the left wing and he forced another corner in the 11th minute that led to the Blues' second goal.
Kirk Millar's right-footed delivery caused more confusion in the penalty area and Stafford won the battle at the back post to force the ball over the line from two yards out.
Crusaders' prospects were made all the more difficult in the 30th minute when Heatley was shown a straight red card.
The midfielder was involved in a tussle with Mark Stafford and appeared to lash out at the defender with a swinging arm.
There was minimal contact but referee Mervyn Smith was well-placed and had no hesitation in showing Heatley a red.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Owens pulled a goal back for the league champions in the 33rd minute of a non-stop first-half.
David Cushley's high in-swinging cross from the left allowed Owens to time his run and header to perfection as it looped over goalkeeper Gareth Deane.
During a bad-tempered second half, the Blues made sure of the win in the 79th minute when Lowry converted from the penalty spot.
Crues goalkeeper Sean O'Neill struggled to cope with a surging run from Andrew Waterworth and Howard Beverland fouled the striker as he attempted to clear.
Lowry made no mistake as he despatched his spot-kick low to the left corner.

Linfield captain Jamie Mulgrew: "We started off very well but when they went down to 10 men we sat off them a little bit and let them into it.
"To be fair, they put up a hell of a fight but obviously the penalty killed the game off."
"During my time here I haven't been as starved for success and hopefully this is a stepping stone to us becoming a force again."
Linfield manager David Healy: "It means a lot to the players. We lost two finals last season, but we were the better team by far tonight.
"People will say decisions maybe changed the outcome, but certainly not - we were deserved winners.
"We work hard on set plays and if you get the delivery right and get the right players on the end of it you will score goals."
Crusaders skipper Colin Coates: "We talked before the game that set-pieces are a big part of their game.
"We were sleeping and normally we are defensively quite sound there.
"We started slow and actually I thought once we went down to 10 men we played a bit better but we ran out of gas a bit at the end.
"To be honest I didn't see anything in the red card. I don't want to say too much but I think in the whole game Mervyn Smith got nearly every big decision wrong."

Russia was banned from international competition in November after a Wada commission examined claims of widespread doping, cover-ups and and extortion.
A Ukad spokesperson said: "Ukad has been asked by Wada to be part of an evaluation visit to Russia.
"It will explore ways and means of how an anti-doping programme can be run."

Russia, which said in November it is "fully committed" to reforms, faces exclusion from next year's Rio Olympics if not declared compliant.
Wada began work in Moscow on Thursday, with Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov confirming that the agency would "determine which international organisations will oversee doping controls in the country".
The Russian anti-doping agency, Rusada, and the anti-doping laboratory were suspended after the Wada report.
Ukad will look into how a Russian anti-doping programme could work "during a period of non-compliance with the World Anti-Doping Code".
The image, of a man whose remains were discovered in a forest at Pentrellyncymer in Conwy last November, was revealed on the BBC's Crimewatch programme,
The body is thought to have been in the forest for several years.
Forensic tests showed the man had suffered a serious head injury.
"A number of calls were received into the incident room and we are following up various lines of inquiry including some possible names to try and identify the individual," said Det Supt Iestyn Davies.
"There will be a loved one, friends, family that may recognise this person.
"Once we get the name, we can work on why did this person become a victim, who would be responsible for that and why would they want to have killed him."
The remains were discovered by two brothers camping in the forest ahead of the Wales Rally GB.
Police launched a large scale forensic search and were able to recover virtually an entire male skeleton.
Mr Davies said the man was probably in his sixties when he died and was between 5ft 8in and 5ft 10.5in (1.73-1.78m) tall.
His nose had been fractured at some point and he suffered from arthritis.
He also had an issue with his spine which would have caused "limited mobility".
"I think he was killed elsewhere," added Mr Davies. "It is our belief that the body would have been deposited in that location some time between 1995 and 2005.
"We have a full DNA profile of the victim but unfortunately it does not match anyone on the national database."
The new, detailed image of what the victim may have looked like was produced with the help a forensic artist and an odontologist.
Arthur Cave was found with life-threatening injuries on the underpass of Ovingdean Gap at 18:00 BST on Tuesday.
He was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton but died later from his injuries.
His death is not being treated as suspicious and the coroner is investigating, police said.
In a family statement, Nick and Susie Cave said: "Our son Arthur died on Tuesday evening. He was our beautiful, happy loving boy."
Arthur leaves behind a twin brother, Earl.
The reason for Arthur's fall is not yet known but friends have told the BBC he was up there with a friend and they seemed to be having a good time, even posting updates on social media.
His friends say he was a "really, really happy boy" who will be dearly missed.
One friend, Kimye Hajisabagh, told BBC South East Today: "I'm going to miss him so much. I can't believe it. It's horrible."
Stars of the music world have also paid tribute.
Singer Alison Moyet tweeted: "How my heart aches for Nick Cave & Susie & Earl at their loss."
Singer Brian McFadden tweeted: "Very sad to hear the news about Arthur Cave. My thoughts are with Nick and the rest of the family. Heartbreaking."
Ms Wood said her victory was a "new dawn" for Rhondda, with a majority of nearly 3,500 over Leighton Andrews.
Elsewhere in south east Wales, Labour has held onto 15 seats including Bridgend, which was retained by First Minister Carwyn Jones.
UKIP's Mark Reckless, David Rowlands and Gareth Bennett became AMs via the regional lists.
Mr Jones said it was "difficult to know" what went wrong for Labour in Rhondda and that it was "not something we saw coming".
Seats retained by Labour include Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, Newport East, Newport West, Islwyn, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, Cynon Valley, Pontypridd, Ogmore, Cardiff South and Penarth, Cardiff North, and Torfaen.
In Cardiff Central, Labour's Jenny Rathbone increased her narrow lead on Liberal Democrat Eluned Parrot to just under 1,000.
In the Vale of Glamorgan, Finance Minister Jane Hutt's lead over the Tories was cut from nearly 4,000 to just 777 votes.
Also for Labour, Julie Morgan held off a Conservative challenge in Cardiff North, while Health Minister Mark Drakeford held on to Cardiff West by 1,176 votes over Plaid Cymru.
The Conservatives held on to Monmouth.
In the South East Regional vote, UKIP took two seats, Plaid Cymru took one and the Conservatives took one.
Mark Reckless and David Rowlands are among the first ever UKIP members of the Welsh Assembly.
On the South Wales Central list, two Conservatives, one Plaid Cymru and one UKIP member were elected.
Police were called to Botanic Gardens shortly before 16:00 BST after reports of an "altercation" in the park.
The man was arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm while the girl, who is 17, was detained on suspicion of common assault.
Police said they were aware "there may have been other assaults in the area" and have appealed for witnesses.
The have also asked any witnesses who filmed the attacks to contact detectives.
Airport authorities X-rayed the luggage of a woman flying from an unnamed South American country.
The scan showed her luggage was darker in colour than normal, and also that it was unusually heavy even when it was empty.
Testing revealed the luggage was made of more than 10kg (22lb) of cocaine.
The incident took place in February but has only now been reported by the police.
Drug traffickers have long been dreaming up ways to transport cocaine - making an entire leg cast out of the drug, or dissolving it into wine, as one Chinese couple was caught doing just last month.
The usual ways would be to somehow hide the drugs within the luggage or on your body.
But constructing suitcases out of hardened cocaine and parading it in plain sight in front of security stands out as a first.
When the woman was asked to empty her luggage, there was nothing suspicious at first glance - merely an empty suitcase.
What tipped the officers off was that it was significantly heavier than any empty luggage ought to be.
There have been similar cases in Europe where smugglers used glue and moulds to compress cocaine into a hard substance.
Cocaine is a relatively rare drug in China, and the woman is expected to pay a heavy price for her attempt to bring it into the country.
Chinese law dictates that anyone convicted of trafficking more than 50g of cocaine will be executed.
It's the first time that this particular method of drug smuggling has been uncovered - yet it's unclear how many such suitcases might have passed under the eyes of unsuspecting airport security in the past.
Odours at Dorket Head in Arnold are being monitored, with a meeting taking place earlier to discuss the issue.
A comprehensive odour assessment is due to be held after further work this month.
The smells have been blamed on an increase in recycled and organic waste.
Wells to extract gases from the area, which were installed in November, are being monitored, the EA said.
A temporary "plastic cap" it described as roughly the size of a football pitch, is due to be installed later in January.
EA said once that work was completed it could undertake a comprehensive odour assessment to assess whether these measures had reduced it to an "acceptable" level.
Site operator FCC Environment and representatives from Gedling Borough Council and Nottinghamshire County Council were present at the meeting.
A spokesman for EA said: "We continue to respond to complaints of odour and have detected landfill gas (and) we maintain our position that this is causing unacceptable odour.
"However, the detected levels of landfill gas measured in the period November to January remain very low and do not pose an immediate risk to human health."
It said the group would meet again in late February to assess the situation.
Karl Andree, 74, had been in prison for more than a year after he was arrested by Saudi religious police for possessing homemade wine.
He told The Sun he was "emotional" to be back and was looking forward to rebuilding his life.
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the release showed the "strength and breadth" of Anglo-Saudi relations.
Mr Andree, who had been living in the country for 25 years, was transporting wine in his car in August 2014 when he was pulled over and arrested in the city Jeddah. Alcohol is illegal in Saudi Arabia.
He was given a one-year prison sentence, but his family was concerned he would also receive 360 lashes for his crime.
Saudi and UK officials later told the BBC "there was never any question" of Mr Andree being flogged.
Mr Andree's children launched an online petition - signed by more than 230,000 people - calling for the prime minister to intervene in Mr Andree's case.
They warned the grandfather of seven - who has battled cancer and suffers from asthma - would not survive lashings.
Prime Minister David Cameron previously described the case as "extremely concerning" and also raised the situation with Saudi Arabian officials.
Mr Andree was eventually released on 28 October.
By Frank Gardner, BBC security correspondent
The Foreign Office stressed today that they received assurances from Saudi Arabia in early September that no lashings would take place.
It said these assurances were passed on directly to Karl Andree's two sons but that the family still decided to go to the Sun with their fears he could still be lashed.
The "lashing" headline certainly got the prime minister's attention.
The Saudis have themselves to blame for this bad publicity.
Mr Andree was caught with alcohol in August 2014 and sentenced to 12 months in jail.
That sentence expired in August this year but due to Saudi bureaucratic incompetence and distraction over the massive Hajj disasters, the authorities there failed to get his release papers to the prison.
The Foreign Office said it was working quietly behind the scenes to get him released but he was still in a Jeddah jail over two months after his sentence expired.
The media coverage, led by the Sun, forced Mr Cameron to intervene. Last month the foreign secretary met the Saudi leadership and, hours later, Mr Andree was released from prison.
Speaking to the Sun, he said: "I am truly humbled and will never forget the love and support of so many people in getting me home.
"I am looking forward to being reunited with family and friends and rebuilding my life."
Mr Hammond, who took a diplomatic trip to the country last month, said: "I'm grateful to the Saudi Arabian government for their efforts in ensuring this positive outcome, following our discussions during my visit.
"It's through the strength and breadth of the relationship between our nations that we have been able to overcome a difficult issue like this."
Maya Foa, of human rights organisation Reprieve, described Mr Andree's release as a "relief" but insisted the UK government should do more to combat "terrible abuses" in Saudi.
She said executions have doubled in Saudi Arabia since last year, and the authorities were still planning to execute young people for attending protests.
"As a close ally, the UK must press the Saudis to change course before more lives are lost," she added.
The most widely searched for question so far in 2016 is: What is 'Brexit'?
Other popular questions searched for included How much would Wales lose as a result of Brexit? What laws can the EU make? and What does the EU referendum mean for Wales?
Voters will go to the polls on 23 June to decide whether Britain should remain in the EU or not.
As the build-up to the referendum continues, BBC Wales asked Google to give its 10 most searched-for questions on the EU referendum in 2016.
They were:
Google also said the top 10 questions people searched for in the week ending 20 May were:
Former Bolton striker Holdsworth, 51, led the Sports Shield takeover of the club in March.
Aldridge was most recently vice-chairman at Sheffield Wednesday and also previously worked at West Ham, Leicester City and Manchester City.
His main role will focus on looking at business areas of the League One side.
"Paul is someone who knows the football landscape very well," said chairman Ken Anderson. "He has top level experience and I am sure he will strengthen our existing senior manager team at the club."
Bolton, who appointed Phil Parkinson as their new manager recently, are preparing a season in the third tier for the first time since 1992-93.
The two former employees of auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers are accused of leaking documents to journalist Edouard Perrin, who faces a fine.
The papers revealed that Luxembourg offered huge tax breaks to international firms including Apple, Ikea and Pepsi.
The defence has called for a landmark judgement acquitting the men.
The trial began two weeks ago, and a verdict is not expected until mid-June.
As he summed up the prosecution's case, deputy state prosecutor David Lentz argued that the actions of Mr Deltour and Mr Halet had amounted to theft, as they had violated a confidentiality agreement in their employment contract with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
Mr Lentz also told the court that Perrin's actions went beyond the remit of a journalist, accusing him of manipulating Mr Halet into releasing the information.
"There are limits on freedom of expression," he said. "It is not the press that's on trial here, but this journalist who went further than his colleagues."
He said that he had taken into consideration the revelations on "certain doubtful practices" exposed by the leaks, but that they had nonetheless broken Luxembourg's laws.
But Mr Deltour's lawyer urged the judges to make a landmark judgement by acquitting the men.
"The decision that you will take will write a new page in European law," said William Bourdon. "It is a burden, but also an opportunity."
Representing Perrin, defence lawyer Roland Michel said that the journalist had done nothing wrong
"My client has done only done one thing - reveal the truth", he said. "To condemn him would be immoral and contrary to our rights."
The files showed how Luxembourg granted lucrative tax breaks that saved firms including Apple, Ikea and Pepsi billions of dollars in taxes, at a time when Jean-Claude Juncker, now head of the European Commission, was prime minister.
In the past two years, the EU has pushed through tougher rules on taxation in the wake of the LuxLeaks release.
The documents were originally used for a 2012 report on French public television in collaboration with the BBC's Panorama. They gained international interest in 2014 with the huge "LuxLeaks" dump of all 30,000 pages into the public domain.
LuxLeaks was the biggest expose of corporate tax deals until last month's publication of the Panama Papers, which revealed links between a number of international leaders and offshore shell companies that can be used to hide or launder wealth.
The former Champion Chase winner (10-3), trained by Gary Moore and ridden by his son Jamie, passed the post first.
However, there was a lengthy stewards inquiry after he clashed with runner-up Special Tiara as they jumped the final fence.
The pair battled it out to the line but Moore's mount hung on for victory and the stewards ruled in his favour.
Sire de Grugy, whose last win had come at Chepstow in February, had looked strong from way out after challenging Special Tiara, who set the early pace.
However, the 2013 victor jumped strongly left at the last fence and clashed with his rival in midair, leaving connections with some anxious moments before the result was confirmed to continue the trainer's recent good run of form.
"He always jumps left, he's jumped a bit left again at the last," said the winning jockey. "I thought Special Tiara was going to get by me, but he's toughed it out. He went again when Special Tiara got to me.
"This horse is my best mate."
Nina Carberry, who was bidding to become the first woman to win a Group 1 steeplechase in the United Kingdom, finished fourth on Somersby.
Earlier at Aintree, Highland Lodge (20-1) won the Becher Handicap Chase in the first race of the season over the Grand National fences at Aintree.
The Jimmy Moffat-trained horse, ridden by Henry Brooke, was victorious on his first start since being acquired by owners Bowes Lodge Stables last month.
"Jimmy Moffat did the hard work, and it was my job just to keep hold of his head," Brooke told Channel 4 Racing.
"I thought he had a good chance on that ground. I got to two out and thought: 'He's got some engine on him'."
Pineau De Re, the 2014 Grand National winner, and, at the age of 12, the oldest horse in the race, was an early faller at the second fence.
The brave effort of Highland Lodge provided a major pot for the small Cumbrian training operation of Jimmy Moffat who rides the nine year-old himself most days.
Moffatt hopes to return to the big fences at Aintree "for the big one" in April though he might need a hike up the official ratings to get in.
An indication of the unpredictability of these obstacles came when Pineau de Re (12th and first in the last two Grand Nationals) fell at the second here.
Happily, like all the rest, he and his jockey were fine.
Mr Gibb will say he makes "no apology for expecting every child" to have a "high-quality education".
The Conservative manifesto pledged that all pupils would take GCSEs in English, maths, science, a language and either history or geography.
Heads' leader Brian Lightman says it will be "challenging" for schools.
The schools minister will also warn that "textbooks are now a rare sight in English classrooms", with only 10% of primary maths teachers using them.
He says he will challenge "textbook publishers to do better" in producing good quality resources for classrooms.
Mr Gibb, in a speech later, will argue that "knowledge is power" and that it is the most disadvantaged who are in greatest need of a rigorous academic education.
The schools minister will argue that there has been a dishonest pattern of poorer students being encouraged to take "less demanding qualifications", which allowed the "powers that be" to say that overall standards were rising.
The Conservatives' election manifesto said that pupils would have to study GCSEs in the so-called EBacc subjects - English, maths, science, a language and history or geography. And that if schools did not offer them, they would not be eligible for a top Ofsted rating.
This would not apply to pupils with special needs.
Mr Gibb will acknowledge that this will be a "significant challenge" for schools, with 39% of pupils currently entering all these subjects and 24% getting a good grade in all of them.
Education Secretary Nicky Morgan had spoken during the election campaign of the need for schools to have more stability and less constant change.
And her schools minister is expected to say that he will listen to school leaders before introducing the requirement - with the details of how this will be implemented still to be announced.
"We will ensure that schools have adequate lead-in time to prepare for any major changes," Mr Gibb is expected to say.
"We will support these schools to raise standards but make no apology for expecting every child to receive a high-quality core academic education."
Mr Gibb will argue that access to a strong academic education is the key to social mobility and his proposals will "provide the foundations of an education system with social justice at its heart".
He said it was "pernicious" to suggest that "a core academic curriculum represents a kind of elitism".
But he will also acknowledge the temptation to keep adding extra requirements to the school timetable - and that this will always mean that something else will be reduced.
As a minister, he says, he has been lobbied to add subjects from Esperanto to den building.
Brian Lightman, leader of the ASCL head teachers' union, said that the key question would be how the changes were implemented and he welcomed the commitment to talks about how this would work in practice.
"It's enormously challenging, but we recognise the importance of a broad academic education for all young people," said Mr Lightman.
The virus was found in a maiden filly, which arrived from France on 20 January and has been fully vaccinated, in the health isolation unit.
Five stallions are currently based on the outskirts of Newmarket at the 500-acre National Stud, which supports the thoroughbred breeding industry.
They include former Group One-winning racehorses Toronado and Dick Turpin.
"This is an isolation unit and we've taken every necessary precaution," managing director Brian O'Rourke told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
"That one isolation unit is shut down for 30 days automatically.
"The staff at the unit do not go to the main farm, which is a good mile and a half from the isolation unit.
"We are hopeful that if we have no more setbacks, hopefully with consultation with a team of vets and the animal health trust, we've got a second gate that we might be able to open up the stud in time for the start of the breeding season around 15 February.
"With having 3,000 racehorses on our doorstep in Newmarket, six stallion stations and all those having a lot of mares coming in from overseas and domestically, we have to be seen to set the standard."
The stud, owned by the Jockey Club, is also closed for public tours until further notice.
O'Rouke added: "This is a highly infectious disease and we have to take every precaution possible and we did that and did it quickly."
World Horse Welfare chief executive Roly Owers said the virus can have serious consequences, but adhering to the equine industry's code of practice should ensure it is controlled.
"Equine herpes virus is a common virus that can cause respiratory disease and abort foetuses, so it is a particular concern for breeding mares," he told BBC Sport.
"There is also a less common neurological form of the disease, which can vary from mild incoordination to total paralysis, and can be fatal. The virus can spread rapidly, which is why isolation is so important."
"It's very much formulated down to the final strokes. We haven't put it in quite yet but we're going to be doing it soon," said Mr Trump.
Republicans have taken the first steps towards dismantling President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law.
But they have yet to rally around an alternative plan.
In an interview with the Washington Post, the president-elect said he was ready to reveal a new bill with congressional leaders.
That would happen when his health secretary pick, Tom Price, was confirmed, he said.
"We're going to have insurance for everybody. There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can't pay for it, you don't get it. That's not going to happen with us."
People covered under the law "can expect to have great health care," he added.
"It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better."
Can Obamacare be repealed?

The Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, has provided healthcare subsidies and medical coverage for millions who are not covered through work.
It has banned insurers from refusing coverage to people who are already ill, and curbed medical charges to the sick and elderly.
But the law has been hit by rising premiums, large fees and national insurers exiting the marketplaces.
On Friday, the US Congress took a first step toward dismantling Obamacare.
Republicans in the House passed a budget measure to introduce a bill - which Democrats cannot block - to roll back the law.
The US Senate had already passed the measure, which instructs four committees on Capitol Hill to draft repeal legislation by 27 January.
On Sunday, Democrats staged dozens of rallies across the country to express their opposition.
Inspectors said long stay and rehabilitation mental health wards for adults were rated "outstanding".
However, it did find problems with the mental health service for young people.
The lack of beds in the county for young people with mental illness has led to many being sent hundreds of miles away, say campaigners.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspected the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust in April.
The trust's chief executive, Phil Confue, described the assessment as "brilliant news" and said the ambition for the trust was "for all its services to be rated as outstanding".
However, the report said staffing problems at the child and adolescent mental health service and a high number of referrals meant some young people waited a long time to be seen unless they were in a crisis.
The report also highlighted a shortage of beds for acute adult admissions, and said patients sometimes had to be admitted to wards outside Cornwall.
Amber Cowburn, of the Invictus Trust, which was set up after her brother, Ben, took his life in an adult mental health unit in Cornwall in December 2010, said she was "astounded" by the report's findings.
"We're very shocked at the report - calling these mental health services in Cornwall 'good' is astounding to us really," she said.
"At any one time, 10-15 young people or children are sent out of the county to be cared for, often hundreds of miles away from their family because we don't have any facilities."
The CQC's deputy chief inspector of hospitals, Dr Paul Lelliott, highlighted child and adolescent care as an area that "needed improvement", but said the trust was "well led" and he was confident improvements would continue to be made.
Rabbatts was critical of the FA's handling of former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro, who left the club after criticism from manager Jose Mourinho.
Two members of the FA's council have called for an investigation into Rabbatts' comments.
Women in Football said they were "staggered" by the developments.
If any wrongdoing is found, Rabbatts could be removed from the FA board.
A statement from Women in Football - a professional network for women in the sport - added: "Rather than seeking sanctions against Rabbatts, we would like to see the FA Council supporting her mission to shore up football's moral compass.
"The fact that Rabbatts, as the only female and only ethnic minority member of the FA board, was alone in posing those important questions further underlines the case for why greater diversity is so very necessary across every level of the game.
"That Rabbatts is willing to use her platform and speak out against injustice in the game should be welcomed by her colleagues, not condemned."
FA chairman Greg Dyke is reported to have told the FA Council in a letter that he had supported previous strong statements by Rabbatts on the Carneiro case, and that he believed Mourinho was guilty of "a failure of his personal judgement and public behaviour".
Lord Herman Ouseley, the chairman of anti-racism group Kick It Out who himself resigned from the FA Council three years ago, has called the decision to investigate "bizarre" and feels Rabbatts should be backed.
"It shows what an antiquated body the FA Council is," said Ouseley. "As the only female independent board member, she is in an exposed position but she is there to provide a different voice and serve as a figurehead for people in the game who feel the whole system is against them."
Under FA rules, only two members of the 121-person council are required for a formal investigation to be launched.
Life vice-president Ron Barston and law lecturer Richard Tur are reported to have made the complaint.
At the time of Carneiro's departure, Rabbatts was vocal in her support of the doctor, whom she said acted "properly".
"Her departure raises a serious question on how players are safeguarded if their medical support is compromised," she said at the time.
"The footage of the abuse she has endured in silence from the stands during her career is something we should all be ashamed of."
Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd, Megan Rapinoe, Becky Sauerbrunn and Hope Solo say they are paid less than half of what the male USA players receive.
"The numbers speak for themselves," said goalkeeper Solo in a statement.
The US Soccer Federation said it was disappointed, given the work it had done in building the women's game.
American women's football has dominated the international game in recent decades, with a string of titles.
"We are the best in the world, have three World Cup Championships, four Olympic Championships, and the USMNT [men's team] get paid more just to show up than we get paid to win major championships," said Solo.
Her team-mate Lloyd, who was named the best player at last year's World Cup, said they had been patient over the years in waiting for action to deliver fair pay.
Former Everton and LA Galaxy winger Landon Donovan - who won 157 caps for the US men's team - tweeted his support for the women's team's cause.
"#USWNT absolutely deserve to be treated fairly in all ways," he said.
"Important to remember that these issues are/can be collectively bargained."
US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said: "Wouldn't want to face these women on the field or in the courtroom. Every woman deserves equal pay."
The complaint against the US Soccer Federation was filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Thursday morning.
One of the lawyers representing the players, Jeffrey Kessler, said the women's game generated more income for US Soccer than the men's and it was time to address the "discriminatory and unfair treatment'' they have endured for years.
The five players were acting on behalf of all the players, he said.
There has been an ongoing legal battle between the federation and the players' union over collective bargaining.
A statement from US Soccer said it had not yet seen the complaint.
But it added: "We have been a world leader in women's soccer and are proud of the commitment we have made to building the women's game in the United States over the past 30 years."
Clarification: An earlier version of this story said the women players filed a lawsuit against the US Soccer Federation. They have actually filed a wage-discrimination action against USSF with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery made headlines around the world after being diagnosed with terminal Neuroblastoma.
Cleveland Police said the 24-year-old woman from Hartlepool was arrested on suspicion of offences under the Malicious Communications Act.
She is also being quizzed in connection with abstracting electricity.
Bradley, from Blackhall Colliery near Hartlepool, was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2013.
Last week his mother Gemma revealed his cancer had grown and treatment would only give him more time.
A Christmas card campaign was started on Bradley's behalf and more than 200,000 cards and gifts from well-wishers have been sent to his home over the past few weeks.
And last week he was invited to the Stadium of Light to be a mascot for Sunderland and scored a penalty during the warm up before the Black Cats' match against Chelsea.
A Twitter hashtag #BradleyLoweryForGoaloftheMonth has been set up by fans calling for him to be given the Premier League goal of the month award.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said the woman had been bailed until the end of January pending further inquiries.
Tesco announced it had agreed to buy Booker in January and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) started an initial review in late May.
The firms now want the CMA to move "more quickly" to probing the merger through an in-depth "Phase 2" process.
They expect the CMA to issue a decision to refer to Phase 2 within two weeks.
The CMA is assessing whether the proposed grocery tie-up could reduce choice for shoppers and for small stores supplied by Booker.
The first phase of its CMA investigation had been due to run until 25 July, but that could now be wound up within 10 working days in advance of instigating the more detailed investigation.
The statutory timetable for a Phase 2 inquiry would be 24 weeks, the CMA said.
The fast-track process has been used in a number of CMA merger investigations previously, including that of telecoms firms BT-EE and also during the tie-up of bookmaking firms Ladbrokes and Coral.
Booker is the UK's largest food wholesaler and also owns the Premier, Budgens and Londis store brands.
Despite rising competition from the likes of Aldi and Lidl, Tesco remains Britain's biggest supermarket.
The CMA could force Tesco to sell stores if it believes the deal will harm competition within the industry.
When the merger was announced, Tesco and Booker said they did not expect it to be completed until late 2017 or early 2018, suggesting both companies expected closer scrutiny from the watchdog.
In March, one of Tesco's biggest investors, Schroders, warned about the cost of the deal, telling the BBC that the supermarket giant was paying a "premium" and it had "major concerns" about the deal.
The 33-year-old takes on Italian Michele Di Rocco for the vacant WBA super-lightweight title at Glasgow's SSE Hydro on Saturday.
The Coatbridge fighter has not been in front of a Scottish crowd since losing to Dejan Zlaticanin in June 2014.
"It's always good to come home," said Burns.
"I've been on the road for the last couple of years fighting down in England a lot and over in Texas as well."
Burns is a former WBO super-featherweight and lightweight champion and took the WBO inter-continental lightweight title in November.
That 11th-round stoppage of Josh King in Liverpool came after he had lost three of his previous four fights.
"I know this is a big opportunity for me," said Burns of his match-up with Di Rocco, the 34-year-old who has lost only once in 42 bouts.
"You're not going to get a bigger fight than a third world title at a third weight, so I need to make sure I go out there and win.
"We know it's going to be a hard fight but it's a winnable fight for me.
"But I'm just treating it as any other fight. If I win, only then will I sit down and think what an achievement it is."
Burns, who will compete in the 10-stone division for the first time at the weekend, said: He said: "Training has gone spot on. I've made the weight comfortably.
"I tried to stay big in camp and obviously the week before the fight start cutting down.
"But my weight has started dropping a lot quicker than I planned it to, so things couldn't go any better." | An NHS mental health service, which was the first in England to be placed in special measures, has recorded its highest number of unexpected deaths.

Businessman, Frank Cushnahan, who has been at the centre of the controversy, claimed in a covert recording made last year, that he was due to be paid a fixer fee in relation to the sale.
Mr Cushnahan was an adviser to Nama.
He has consistently denied he was due to receive money.
Nama NI deal jargon buster
Timeline of Nama's NI property deal
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has said there should be a Commission of Investigation held in the Republic of Ireland while Alliance Deputy Leader Naomi Long has called for an independent investigation.
Nama is the Republic of Ireland's "bad bank".
It sold its entire Northern Ireland loan portfolio to the Cerberus investment fund in 2014.
Mr Cushnahan, a former banker, was appointed to Nama's Northern Ireland advisory committee by the DUP.
Unknown to Nama he began talking to a US investment fund, Pimco, who were interested in buying the entire Northern Ireland portfolio.
Prior to leaving his post at Nama, Mr Cushnahan attended meetings with Pimco as it prepared to mount a bid.
He was due to be paid £5m if the bid succeeded - but it collapsed when Nama learned of Mr Cushnahan's role.
Another company called Cerberus then bought the loan portfolio for more than £1bn.
Nama had received assurances that no one connected with Nama (which would include Mr Cushnahan) was to benefit from that deal.
However, in a covert recording, Mr Cushnahan discusses work he did with a Belfast solicitor Ian Coulter.
He said: "You know when I was working on that Cerberus thing to get that thing out, he worked with me to get that. And basically all the work was done by me and him."
He goes on to say his role was deliberately hidden because of Nama's objections.
Cerberus has previously stated that it has "never employed, paid or sought advice from Frank Cushnahan in relation to our purchase of the Project Eagle portfolio or any other activity."
Nama said it had dealt with the issue "very extensively over the past 12 months" and had nothing further to add at this time.
It was widely criticised on social media as a caricature after it was unveiled at his official residence State House on Friday.
Dominic Benhura told the state-run Herald newspaper that "honestly, no-one would abuse such an opportunity".
Mr Mugabe, who has been in power since 1980, has vowed to crack down on protests against his rule.
Tweeters questioned the sculptors motives, with some suggesting it was a reaction to being forced to make the statue.
However outspoken Higher Education Minister Jonathan Moyo defended the sculpture:
The sculptor Mr Benhura, who has exhibited his work across the world, denied he was making fun of the president and said that people don't understand his art.
"That sculpture was never meant to look exactly as the president's image. I do not do exact figures."
"This is the style I have mastered. My collectors can identify my pieces when they see them anywhere in the world because I chose to be different and that is my signature."
Mr Mugabe also praised the statue.
He was quoted in the Herald as saying that he was so grateful that the statue stimulated "a kind of wonder, a kind of love, a kind of appreciation and satisfaction".
Cohen Quad on Walton Street was due to be completed on 11 August.
Exeter College booked the Jury's Inn for 86 students when it became clear Cohen Quad would not be ready by 6 October.
It said it was "deeply frustrated by the delay" in the "complex" project. Contractors Alison Brooks Architects declined to comment.
Student Harry Williams said: "I think we were all concerned about where we were going to live and how much of a disruption it was going to be...the college has done very well at easing our fears.
"We have a pool and a gym which is rather nice, but I think the average day isn't dissimilar...it is just a slightly longer commute than usual."
Exeter College said it was careful to ensure students were housed at the same hotel, and that college staff have an office on site seven days a week.
Prices for rooms at Oxford's Jury's Inn start at £115 a night.
The firm had faced criticism after it emerged that the feature had been dropped in a recent update to Fire OS.
Amazon had justified the move by saying that "customers weren't using" the privacy facility. It now intends to reintroduce it before the end of May.
Disk encryption has become a topical issue as it lies at the heart of a clash between Apple and the FBI.
The facility digitally scrambles data on a device, making it impossible to make sense of it unless a passcode or other ID check is provided.
The dispute involving Apple concerns the tech firm's refusal to alter its own mobile operating system to prevent an iPhone's data being wiped if too many incorrect passcode guesses are typed in.
Amazon has publicly backed Apple's stance via a legal filing known as an amicus brief, which was submitted to a US court last week.
Amazon removed disk encryption when it released Fire OS 5 last year. It included the operating system with its Fire tablets, as well as its TV-streaming devices.
However, a backlash only occurred after Amazon started making the update available to owners of its older Fire tablets, who noticed the security facility was no longer available.
"I will no longer be able to keep my business email... as our institution requires that encryption be used," wrote one tablet owner on the firm's forums. "I cannot believe Amazon just 'deleted' this critical feature."
Another posted: "In an era where devices store information on everything from browsing habits to bank information it's nearly unthinkable for a company to deliberately remove the one feature that can protect a customer from identity theft if their device is lost or stolen."
The firm reversed its stance over the weekend.
"We will return the option for full disk encryption with a Fire OS update coming this spring," a spokesman told the BBC.
The flip-flop has not affected the firm's continued use of encryption to protect data sent between its devices and its data centres.
Fire OS is a variant of Android.
Google offers full device encryption in its version of the operating system, and in October told device manufacturers that it should be switched on by default in new handsets powerful enough to support it.
One expert suggested Amazon should take a similar step.
"There's growing recognition that better security is needed in the whole sphere of computing and particularly mobile devices," commented Dr Steven Murdoch from University College London.
"So, I was surprised when Amazon removed the feature.
"It's certainly possible that many people didn't enable it - perhaps they found it inconvenient to do so. But rather than remove it, a better solution would be to make it more easy to use."
About 30 people were removed from the seven-storey building on Buckingham Gate at around 04:00 GMT.
Bailiffs were called to the property after an application for eviction was made to the High Court on Friday.
The Met said it was concerned the occupiers could see into the royal grounds if they accessed the roof of an adjoining building.
Court documents seen by the Press Association showed a Metropolitan Police royal specialist protection officer raised the "potential security risk" posed by the group.
Snipers stationed on the roof of Wellington Barracks were also in "regular contact" with the owner of the building next-door to raise concerns about the view into the palace gardens from the roof, the document said.
But one of the protesters insisted they were not "going to do anything".
Daniel, one of the 30 people who had been 19 Buckingham Gate, which is believed to be owned by a Bahraini national, said: "It was pretty unprecedented. To just wake up and you are surrounded by bailiffs, they came in stealth mode.
"I opened my eyes to bailiffs on the staircase."
He described the operation as a "swift and silent eviction", adding: "I didn't see them (the bailiffs) turn on the lights until I was outside at the door."
He added he had never experienced an eviction executed so quietly and with such a number of bailiffs.
Asked whether they would move into another property in the Buckingham Palace area, Daniel said: "We have to stay in the area... it would be nice to continue with it."
The squatters, who call themselves the Autonomous Nation of Anarchist Libertarians, have occupied a series of properties in Belgravia, west London, since the start of the year, having been evicted from an empty mansion in Eaton Square believed to have be owned by Russian oligarch Andrey Goncharenko on 1 February.
The group say one of their aims is to highlight the number of empty properties in that part of London, which it believes could be used to accommodate the homeless.
Video footage posted on Twitter by Occupy London shows the protesters leaving the building, which they had re-branded the Rogue Embassy.
Within some of the footage, a man can be heard describing how squatting 100 metres from Buckingham Palace was the "basic aim" of the protest.
Signs stapled to the door of the property, state it is now being protected by a private security firm.
Surrey Police said officers questioned the women, who were at Duncroft Approved School in Staines in the 1970s, as part of its investigation.
A total of 214 sex offences have been recorded against Savile across the UK.
Surrey Police said it was looking into the scale of Savile's abuse at the school, which shut in the 1980s, and if anyone else knew about it at the time.
Det Supt Jon Savell said they were looking at "what could have been done to prevent that at the time and what we might be facing in terms of who's committed some criminal offences".
Since Operation Yewtree began, allegations of abuse have been referred back to the relevant police forces to investigate locally.
Surrey Police said its own investigation Operation Outreach involved only allegations relating to the Duncroft school.
Savile, who died in 2011 aged 84, was a Radio 1 DJ and the presenter of the Jim'll Fix It show on BBC One.
Last October, the ITV documentary Exposure: The Other Side Of Jimmy Savile featured the accounts of five women who said they had been assaulted by Savile.
The allegations prompted a joint investigation by children's charity the NSPCC and the Metropolitan Police into claims the late presenter had sexually abused women, girls and boys.
The operation is the Metropolitan Police-led investigation into historical allegations of sexual abuse
There are three strands of the investigation: allegations against Savile; allegations against Savile and others; other unrelated allegations
About 450 people contacted the Met making allegations about Savile
There have been 214 criminal offences relating to Savile recorded across 28 force areas
There have been a total of 34 allegations of rape against Savile
Most of Savile's victims were female aged between 13 and 16
Detectives later said they had recorded 214 sexual offences - including 34 rapes - against Savile's name. They said the offences took place throughout the UK between 1955 and 2009.
The peak of Savile's offending was between 1966 and 1976, when he was aged between 40 and 50.
A woman who was at Duncroft school in the 1970s said Savile's behaviour was reported to both the school and the police "but no-one believed us".
In May 2007, a former resident of Duncroft told Surrey Police she had seen the DJ assault a fellow pupil.
The force tracked down the victim who reluctantly confirmed the allegation but asked for the police not to take any further action.
Surrey Police then contacted 21 other pupils from the same year group and two further victims were identified. However, police found victims reluctant to help a prosecution.
The force interviewed Savile, who denied the allegations. The Crown Prosecution Service concluded there was insufficient evidence.
Det Supt Savell said: "We've reported heavily on what we did at the time, it's been accepted that actually there was more that could have been done and it's now looking forward about the seminal change in the way the police and the Crown Prosecution Service act and react and respond to reports of sexual assault."
He said the force had seen an increase of about 25% in reports on "non-recent" sexual assault since last October.
In a statement referring to the investigation at Duncroft Approved School, Surrey Police said: "Whilst a number of individuals have been spoken to, no arrests have been made at this time, and inquiries continue.
"It is anticipated that at the conclusion of these inquiries, a file will be submitted to the CPS for their consideration and advice."
Robert Trigg, of Park Crescent, Worthing, is accused of murdering Susan Nicholson, 52, at premises in Rowlands Road, Worthing, on 16 April 2011.
He is also charged with the manslaughter of Caroline Devlin, 35, who was found dead in bed in Cranworth Road, Worthing, on 26 March 2006.
He was appearing before Lewes Crown Court. No pleas were entered.
He was remanded in custody.

The proposal is part of a wider-ranging European Commission initiative for a "digital single market".
The regulator says it wants to boost the use of online goods and services by introducing new rules.
But the technology industry has warned that some of the suggested changes could undermine that goal.
The measure affecting internet catch-up services would become possible thanks to a pledge to reduce the differences between national copyright laws.
"The Commission wants to ensure that users who buy films, music or articles at home can also enjoy them while travelling across Europe," it said in a statement.
"The Commission will also look at the role of online intermediaries in relation to copyright-protected works.
"[And there will be] a review of the Satellite and Cable Directive to assess if its scope needs to be enlarged to broadcasters' online transmissions and to explore how to boost cross-border access to broadcasters' services in Europe," the Commission added.
The BBC confirmed it would look into the possibility of easing its iPlayer restrictions.
"We note the Commission's interest in making services more portable to UK users while temporarily travelling in Europe, and will begin work to look at the technical and legislative implications," said a spokesman.
As part of its wider plan, the Commission also announced it had launched a new anti-trust competition inquiry into the 28-nation bloc's e-commerce sector.
It said it wanted to tackle anti-competitive measures taken by retailers and manufacturers that prevented customers in one country from buying electronics, clothing, shoes and other goods from online stores available elsewhere in the EU.
In particular, the regulator said it wanted to see an end to "unjustified geo-blocking".
This is a measure that either denies a user access to a site based on their location or re-routes them to a related store that features different prices.
The Commission highlighted instances of car rental companies using the practice to charge different countries' citizens different prices when they booked in advance for the same destination.
The Commission also announced a new inquiry into the role that search engines, app stores and social media networks play in the digital market.
"This will cover issues such as the non-transparency of search results and of pricing policies, how they use the information they acquire, relationships between platforms and suppliers and the promotion of their own services to the disadvantage of competitors," the Commission said.
"It will also look into how best to tackle illegal content on the internet."
This is likely to prove a fresh headache to Google.
The US search giant is already dealing with the EU's earlier accusation that it had abused its dominance of internet searching by promoting its own shopping adverts above others.
"Breaking down barriers to online trade across Europe will improve consumer choice, increase investment, create jobs and spur economic growth. We're committed to playing our part," the firm said in a statement.
The new investigation is also likely to affect Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter and Microsoft's Bing, among others.
The Computer & Communications Industry Association, which represents many of the large tech firms, has expressed concern.
"We support the overall recognition by European leaders that the internet is the way forward for Europe's economy and society," said the CCIA's vice president James Waterworth.
"However, there are several measures that threaten to undermine the stated goal of the digital single market to grow Europe's economy, replacing it with a re-regulation agenda.
"Existing measures to respond to problems online strike a balance between freedom of speech, commercial freedom and controlling infringing material. Extending a 'duty of care' could severely affect these freedoms," Mr Waterworth added.
Earlier in the year, President Obama also suggested that the EU sometimes took steps that deliberately discriminated against US tech firms, even if that was not the stated aim.
"Sometimes the European response here is more commercially driven than anything else," he told the news site Recode.
"Oftentimes what is portrayed as high-minded positions on issues sometimes is just designed to carve out some of their commercial interests."
In total, there are 16 separate aims set out in the digital single market strategy, which the EU says it wants to deliver by the end of 2016.
Other pledges include:
Although the Commission has given itself less than two years to complete its plan, it could take significantly longer for Europe's citizens to experience the promised changes, since national governments and the European Parliament will also need to have their say.
The Commission is also working on separate measures to clarify the situation regarding net neutrality - rules governing if and when broadband and mobile network providers can discriminate between online services using their infrastructure.
A spokeswoman told the BBC more information about the EU's Building a Telecoms Single Market strategy would be released later this year.
The work ran five years over schedule and millions of euros over budget.
The Dutch state museum has been closed since 2003. Renovation was delayed by flooding, asbestos and a dispute over access for cyclists.
"It was kind of Murphy's Law," says museum director Wim Pijbes. "What could go wrong did go wrong."
Pijbes added: "It has been closed for 10 years, but now it can go on for decades."
On Wednesday, Johannes Vermeer's The Milkmaid was rehung, making it the last major work to return to the museum in the heart of Amsterdam.
It sits in the Gallery of Honour, a breathtaking cathedral to the Dutch Golden Age, showcasing works by Rembrandt, Jan Steen and Frans Hals.
The old masters draw the eye, but so do the intricately decorated ceilings and pillars that frame them - all painstakingly recreated after being painted over in the post-war years.
In the halls flanking the grand gallery, the decoration is more modern. British artist Richard Wright, a former Turner Prize winner, has dusted the ceilings with almost 50,000 stars, hand-painted in a swirling, shifting constellation.
It all serves to set up the Rijksmuseum's biggest star - Rembrandt's Night Watch.
A gigantic Baroque painting of 17th Century city guards teeming with drama and movement, it is the only work to be hung in its original place.
"Everything has changed," says Taco Dibbits, the museum's director of collections.
"We have more than one million objects and we used to display them by material. You had a gallery for glass, a gallery for porcelain, a gallery for paintings.
"Now we have mixed all the media and presented the visitor the story of art from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century."
So the museum's paintings mingle among cabinets, kitchenware, magazine covers, doll's houses and pottery in a splendid, higgledy-piggledy array.
It illustrates the cross-pollination between decorative and visual art - for instance, how Japanese prints inspired a Parisian vase-maker, whose designs prompted Van Gogh to paint Amandelboom In Bloei (Almond Tree In Bloom) - but it also presents some striking juxtapositions.
In the 20th Century Gallery, a kitsch German chess set, with snipers as pawns and a Panzer tank for the kings, is vaguely comedic, until visitors notice the Auschwitz prison uniform worn by 16-year-old Dutch girl Isabel Wachenheimer, which hangs silently nearby in grim disapproval.
As Dibbets observes: "The works talk to each other".
In total, there are 800 years of Dutch history retold in more than 8,000 objects across the Rijksmuseum's 80 galleries.
There is a brand new entrance hall in the shape of a voluminous atrium, flooded with natural light from the five-storey-high glass ceiling.
Pijbes describes it as Amsterdam's equivalent to Tate Modern's Turbine Hall - a free-to-enter public auditorium that will host performances, parties and new exhibits.
By tunnelling under a cycle path that runs through the centre of the museum (the proposed closure of which caused uproar) it unites the east and west wings for the first time. It also created a few headaches.
"We found beautiful new spaces, but being below the building means you dig into water," Pijbes says.
In fact, with Amsterdam already under sea level, digging down meant the Rijksmuseum flooded. Workers floated around in dinghies as they fought the water table.
Even now, sceptics wonder if the museum is jeopardising its collection.
"For foreigners, it is really frightening to be under sea level, and even more frightening to have the collection below sea level," says Pijbes.
"But for the Dutch, it's everyday life."
He insists that "complex engineering work" means the lower galleries are safe. But these aren't the only measures taken to protect the artworks.
The museum is newly illuminated by 3,800 individual LED lights, which lack the paint-destroying heat and UV rays of incandescent bulbs.
They were installed by Dutch lighting specialists Philips, who also claim the LEDs enhance the viewing experience.
"Incandescent lights focus on ambers and reds," says the company's chief design officer, Rogier van der Heide. "The LED adds a beautiful return of the blues and greens. The cooler colours are clearer... So we get to see the full beauty of the colour spectrum."
Visitors will get to decide for themselves when the Rijksmuseum throws open its doors on 13 April.
After the gala opening, hosted by the abdicating Queen, the first day's entry will be free. After that, the directors predict more than two million people will come to the gallery every year, restoring it as one of Europe's most important museums.
What's more, Dibbets hopes visitors will leave with an appreciation of how art and society developed hand-in-hand over the last eight centuries.
"Chronology is a fantastic way of ordering your memories," he says, "and this museum is the memory of The Netherlands."
It has also received five reports of customers receiving electrical shocks.
Users should unplug the cords and contact Microsoft for a free replacement, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission added.
Microsoft announced the recall at the end of January, but did not reveal how many of complaints it had received.
The recall is of power cords sold with the Surface Pro, Surface Pro 2 and Surface Pro 3 tablets before March 2015 in the US and Canada and July 2015 outside of those countries.
Several families were riding in a lorry when it was hit by two explosions. A policeman also died.
They were fleeing from Hawija, west of the city of Kirkuk.
The deaths came as Iraqi government-led forces continued their assault on Mosul further north - the last city still occupied by IS.
Iraqi forces also attacked Hamam al-Alil, south of Mosul on the Tigris river, and overcame fierce resistance before raising the Iraqi flag in the centre, the army said.
The battle so far
On schedule but not exactly to plan
How IS sells the battle for Mosul
The lorry containing the displaced families was taking them from Hawija, which is about 120km (75 miles) south of Mosul, to the town of al-Alam further south,
Images on social media showed charred corpses and the remains of the vehicle.
The battle in Mosul continued on Saturday as government forces tried to clear the eastern districts, including al-Zahra, that they entered on Friday.
Government troops and IS fighters exchanged sniper fire from residential rooftops, with both sides also firing mortar rounds. The fiercest clashes were in the al-Bakr area.
Iraq's state-run Iraqia News TV said on Saturday that PM Haider al-Abadi had travelled to Mosul and had inspected front-line combat units.
Mosul has been in IS hands for more than two years.
Meanwhile, newly released satellite images taken on Monday for Texas-based private intelligence firm Stratfor purport to show the defences set out by IS in southern Mosul.
Concrete barricades, rubble and earthen berms block key streets. while buildings have been levelled near Mosul airport for line-of-sight reasons.
McAllister headed the hosts in front before doubling their lead from the spot six minutes into the second half after Nicky Riley was brought down.
Montrose were reduced to 10 men when Matty Smith was shown a straight red in the 69th minute.
And Jordon Brown completed a 4-1 aggregate win in stoppage time.
It means Montrose, who finished fourth in League Two, will be playing in the bottom tier again next season.
Peterhead, who finished second bottom in the division above, get another chance to retain their League One status.

The stone near the village of Serre was unveiled by the Lord Mayor of Bradford on Saturday and overlooks trenches used by the soldiers in the battle.
It is a replica of one in the Memorial Gardens in Bradford.
Pals battalions were formed as friends and colleagues enlisted together, many were formed in northern towns.
The inscription on the stone reads: "To the memory of the soldiers of the Bradford Pals and the other servicemen of West Yorkshire who served in the Great War 1914-18. 'And lo a mighty army came out of the North.'"
The stone was quarried in Bradford and transported to France.
The first Bradford Pals battalion was raised at the Bradford Mechanic's Institute in 1914 and a hundred-year-old union jack that flew above the institute was used in the unveiling.
Local dignitaries were present with representatives of veteran groups and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Councillor Geoff Reid, the lord mayor of Bradford, said: "We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to these brave men from Bradford who gave their lives during the First World War."
Residents awoke at about 07:00 to find the unexpected visitors outside their homes.
More than a dozen animals are understood to have escaped a nearby field and made their way along Redmires Road in the Crosspool area.
South Yorkshire Police said it received a call but residents and local farmers had rounded up the wandering bovines.
Baffled residents took to social media to express their shock at the unusual scene.
Steve Ned tweeted: "Cows on the loose in Crosspool - it's the end of days!"
While confused Tom Stayte, who snapped a number of pictures of the scene, said: "More pictures of the cow weirdness in Crosspool."
Psychologists at Goldsmiths are set to ask pupils to imagine the figures are recently arrived children from overseas and play with them.
It is thought the role-play may help pupils overcome a fear of difference.
A similar project involving figures in wheelchairs found pupils' willingness to make friends was greatly enhanced.
"We have been doing some work over the past few years with Playmobil figures in wheelchairs," said Dr Sian Jones, a psychologist specialising in the way children cope with diversity.
"It seems to work very well in terms of getting them to think about engaging with disabled children and getting over any issues or perceived problems about playing with them.
"We are going to get them to imagine they are in 'golden time', and then to ask them to pick up the Playmobil and tell them that the figure is a recently arrived pupil and get them to imagine what playing with them would look like."
About 200 pupils in several schools will be asked to play with the figures just once for about three minutes.
The researchers from Goldsmiths, University of London, will question the children before and afterwards and also measure their anxiety levels to see how they have been affected by the experience.
The toys are expected to increase the ease by which children can imagine positive exchanges with immigrant children, and therefore their reactions to newly arrived children when they enter classrooms or the playground.
Malcolm Layfield, 63, denies raping an 18-year-old from Chetham's School of Music in the early 1980s.
She denied she willingly had sex in his car during a trip to Cornwall at Manchester Crown Court.
On the night of the alleged rape, she agreed she performed a song as part of a cabaret to mark the end of the trip.
Benjamin Myers QC, representing Mr Layfield, said to the complainant: "You put yourself centre stage in a highly sexualised song directed straight at Mr Layfield?"
The woman replied: "Mr Layfield said I want you to do a cabaret and I want you to sing."
She denied trying to impress him and said she could have chosen "a raunchy song" such as Hey Big Spender.
Mr Meyers read to the jury the opening lyrics of the song she performed - the Masochism Song by Tom Lehrer - which, he put to her, were "quite suggestive".
The song goes: "I ache for the touch of your lips dear/But much more for the touch of your whips dear/You can raise welts like nobody else/As we dance to the Masochism Tango."
The complainant responded: "It does not matter what people sing or choose to wear, this is not an invitation to rape."
Mr Myers said it would not be disputed his client pursued a series of relationships with female students and it was accepted by him that this was "inappropriate".
The victim would have known Mr Layfield had a reputation for getting involved with female students by the time of the trip, the court was told.
Mr Myers said: "You knew perfectly well he was turning his attention towards you and you were prepared to cultivate that?"
The woman replied: "No."
The jury heard Mr Layfield provided "strong alcoholic punch" on the final night of the trip.
His alleged victim is said to have escaped his attentions as she got into her sleeping bag upstairs but recalled him telling her to get up.
She next remembered getting into his car "in the middle of the night" and driving to a beach, but could not recall how she got there.
Asked why she didn't stay in bed, the complainant said: "I wish I had. Again it's refusing something from someone who is extremely influential."
She told the court no violence or threats were used to get her in the car but she "did not want anything sexual to happen".
She did not make a complaint at the time because she convinced herself it was an affair and later went on to have consensual sex with him over a six-week period, it was said.
Mr Layfield, of Castle Quay, Castlefield, also taught at Manchester's Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM).
The trial continues.
Michelle Kiss, from Whalley, was among 22 people who died in the suicide bomb attack on Monday.
The vigil at Whalley Methodist Church, Lancashire, was organised by her husband Tony, and attended by hundreds who came to pay their respects.
Her family said they were devastated "she had been taken away... in the most traumatic way imaginable".
In a statement, they said she was a "loving" wife, mother and daughter to whom "family meant everything".
Two girls who also died, were commemorated at a vigil held in Worden Park, Leyland, on Thursday.
The town was home to the youngest victim, eight-year-old Saffie Roussos and where another victim, Georgina Callander, studied.
About 1,500 people were are the event where balloons were released following a minute's silence.
Deacon Ellen Monk-Winstanley, from Leyland Methodist Church, said the vigil "did a great job of reaching out to everybody" adding it was a comfort "in the midst of all this pain".
Katy McAllister, 31, was found not guilty of causing the death of Louise McGowan in Dundee in May 2015.
She pled guilty to supplying a fellow medic with diazepam pills, and tablets, including Temazepam, to another man.
Judge Graham Buchanan QC ordered her to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work at the High Court in Glasgow.
The court was told McAllister, also of Dundee, will be investigated by the General Medical Council (GMC).
The new mother was suspended by NHS Tayside, but is currently on "unpaid maternity leave".
McAllister pled guilty to supplying fellow doctor Richard Bowditch with diazepam between July 2014 and March 2015.
She also admitted giving the same drug, as well as a Temazepam pill, to John Mundy between November 2014 and May 2015.
McAllister also possessed £10 of magic mushrooms at her home as well as a small amount of the drug Midazolam in May 2015.
Her QC said McAllister had not been involved in a "commercial supply operation".
Mark Stewart, defending, said the GMC will conduct an investigation while NHS Tayside will decide what "what their position is".
Mr Stewart said: "She is someone held in high regard.
"That demonstrates, in the whole, we are dealing with a person who is a useful member of society."
Judge Buchanan said the charges McAllister admitted were "still of some seriousness".
He told her: "For certain reasons due to your health, it may not be possible for you to do certain types of (unpaid) work.
"However, it can be tailored to ensure you are able to comply with the terms of the order."
Demand has been strong since recreational use was legalised on 1 July.
There are plenty of outlets but not enough distributors, the Reno Gazette-Journal reports.
Legislation gave liquor wholesalers the right to distribute, but most do not meet the licence requirements, Nevada's tax department is quoted as saying.
The department issued a "statement of emergency", which means state officials could adopt emergency measures to combat the shortage.
The journal quotes tax department spokeswoman Stephanie Klapstein as saying that many of Nevada's 47 marijuana stores are running out amid "reports of adult-use marijuana sales already far exceeding the industry's expectations".
Canada's plan to legalise recreational pot
Make medical cannabis legal, say MPs
Nevada Dispensary Association estimated sales of $3m (£2.3m) in the first four days of legalisation, with tax revenue of $1m.
Nevada voted in favour of legalising recreational use of marijuana in November, following similar moves in several other states.
Medical use of marijuana is permitted in 25 states, including Nevada where it has been legal since 2001.
The seafloor vents are located 5km below the surface of the Caribbean, in the Cayman Trough.
The researchers say the structures are shooting jets of mineral-rich water more than a kilometre into the ocean above.
The vents' features suggest the water is warmer than 450C - hot enough to melt lead.
Nevertheless, the springs are teeming with new species including a type of pale shrimp with a light sensing organ on its back.
Details of the research have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
Researchers from the UK's National Oceanography Centre in Southampton first investigated the vents in April 2010.
The vents are known as "Black Smokers" on account of the smoky-looking hot liquids that gush out of them.
One of the vents, which the team named the Beebe Vent Field, was almost a kilometre deeper than anything previously found.
According to Dr Jon Copley, from the University of Southampton and one of the leaders of the expedition, the discovery was surprisingly moving.
"When we came across the black smokers on the sea floor there were honestly tears among the science party, there was this sort of moment of overwhelming wonder at the marvel of the world," he said.
"The Beebe Field is a mound of mineral rubble on the bottom of the ocean estimated to be about 80m across about 50m high. On top of the mound are naturally formed chimneys, estimated to be about six metres tall with hot fluid gushing out."
The scientists say the fluid is rich in minerals, particularly copper.
"As soon as it hits the cold sea water, it starts to form particles of copper that build up the chimneys we've seen," Dr Copley explained.
The researchers weren't able to directly measure the temperature of the water with their equipment.
"We analysed the chemistry of what was gushing from the vents and from that we estimated that these vents could be hotter than 450 degrees Celsius, which means they're not only the deepest known they're also possibly going to be the hottest known."
The height of the plume is also indicative of extremely high temperatures.
Of perhaps greater scientific interest is another, shallower vent field that the team discovered on the side of an undersea mountain called Mount Dent.
Normally vents occur where you get volcanic activity on the ocean floor. But the black smokers on Mount Dent were some distance from a volcanic zone and Dr Copley believes this could be a clue that vents occur in far greater numbers than previously thought.
"The kind of underwater area where we found the second set of vents, we think is actually quite common around the world's oceans and so if you can get vents on mountains like that it could be that there are a lot of them out there dotted around."
This view is shared by Dr Nicole Dubilier from the Max Planck Institute of Marine Microbiology, who has also explored deep sea vents.
"I am convinced that deep sea vents are very common and this is only the beginning of a hopefully long line of future discoveries," she said.
"That we now have the technology to explore and sample such exotic environments is exciting in itself, comparable to the fact that we can collect rocks from the moon or may one day be able to collect them from Mars."
Dr Timothy Shank from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, who was part of the team that discovered the first known vent communities around Antarctica, said: "The fact that these deep vents have species observed no where else, is just like the fact that there are different suites of land species that have evolved on different continents—much the way kangaroos have evolved only in Australia and giraffes only in Africa.
"What is key now is to see if the chemicals in the hydrothermal vent fluids differ from those known throughout the world. Differences in fluid chemistry in these deep vent systems may have dictated adaptations to the environment"
The team in the Cayman Trough also found details of new species including an eyeless, pale shrimp with a light-sensing organ on its back which Dr Jon Copley believe may help them to find their way round the murky depths.
"It may use the organ to help navigate in the very faint glow you get from deep sea vents, the glow is too faint for us to see with our eyes and our cameras, but the glow is there and we think the shrimps are using it to navigate around the vents," he said.
The scientists say the closest known relatives of this shrimp are found 4,000km away in the middle of the Atlantic. Understanding how these species evolve and move is crucial, says Jon Copley, to being able to manage the vents should commercial exploitation of the minerals they contain ever be contemplated.
"Last year China was granted one of the first licences for exploratory mining along a section of undersea volcanoes in the Indian Ocean, so we are starting to see interest in chasing these resources," he explained.
All the more reason we need to understand their patterns of life if we are going to make responsible decisions about how to manage these resources."
The Foxes thrashed Lancashire by 131 runs at Grace Road after posting a total of 307-8 in their 50 overs.
Skipper Pettini (92) and Cosgrove (91) shared a third-wicket stand of 140 to lay the foundation for a big total.
Tom Smith made 56 off 58 balls for Lancashire, but Neil Dexter took 4-22 as they were all out for 176.
Leicestershire's first victory in six games lifted them above the Red Rose county - who only lasted until the 40th over - and off the bottom of the North Group table.
Their total was only five runs short of their previous List A best against Lancashire - 312-5 in the 1995 B&H Cup.
Pettini hit nine fours in a fluent 99-ball innings, but fell lbw to Smith (2-49) with a century there for the taking, and Cosgrove was equally impressive before he fell to Leicestershire old boy Nathan Buck (2-55).
Lancashire began their run-chase well with Smith and Alviro Petersen (24) putting on 74, but once they had gone, Liam Livingstone (28) was the only other batsman to pass 20.
South African Dieter Klein marked his debut with two late wickets as the last five went down in five overs for just 14 runs.
Mrs May will replace David Cameron as both PM and Tory leader after he takes part in his final PMQs on Wednesday.
Ms Sturgeon congratulated the 59-year-old and wished her well "in a difficult and demanding job".
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson also congratulated Mrs May on her new role.
She said she would give her "full support" at a time when the country "needed certainty".
Mrs May will take over from Mr Cameron who tendered his resignation in the wake of the EU referendum result.
The UK electorate voted by 52% to 48% to end the country's membership of the EU.
In Scotland, voters decided by 62% to 38% to remain in Europe.
After Mrs May was confirmed as the next PM, Ms Sturgeon said: "I congratulate Theresa May on her success, and wish her well in what will be a difficult and demanding job.
"I am determined to work with her constructively wherever possible on issues of common interest and concern.
"Top of those is the issue of our continued place in the European Union, and I expect early engagement with the incoming prime minister on that subject as we look to maintain Scotland's EU status, in line with the democratic wishes of the people of Scotland."
Ms Sturgeon added: "As part of her pitch to her Conservative colleagues earlier today, Ms May made clear that she would be pressing ahead with plans to leave the EU - as such, it is vital that Scotland is involved and consulted at every step of the way.
"But that involvement does not mean we accept that Scotland should leave the EU. On the contrary.
"I have made clear that I intend to pursue every possible avenue to secure Scotland's continued place in Europe and in the world's biggest single market, and that all options must be on the table in order to achieve that. That is something I reiterate today to the incoming prime minister."
MSP Ms Davidson, who had backed Mrs May to become Tory leader, said the country needed "certainty and stability going forward".
She added: "In Mrs May we will have a prime minister who has the experience, the judgement and the leadership to start that job from day one."
"The dignified manner of Andrea Leadsom's withdrawal today allows for that transition to be as swift and smooth as possible."
Scottish Labour also offered its congratulations to Mrs May.
However, MSP Jackie Baillie said the new PM needed to show "with her actions" that this government would deliver for working people across Scotland.
The team had been serving a ban from world football which could only be lifted if their Federation polls were held by 11 June.
Benin were keen to do so in order to play Equatorial Guinea in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Sunday. and avoid disqualification.
Anjorin Moucharafou was voted in as president by the 40 of the 42 delegates present.
The election was attended by delegates from Caf and Fifa, and Caf has confirmed that the ban on Benin has now been lifted and they will be able to play Equatorial Guinea on Sunday as planned.
Moucharafou has held the post previously but is a controversial figure, having been accused of embezzling US$650,000 sponsorship money from a mobile phone company between 2008 and 2010.
On Thursday a court in Porto Novo insisted the polls, which had been set for that day, should be delayed indefinitely as it upheld a complaint by 20 of the country's football clubs.
The clubs argued the current normalisation committee running the sport in the country had violated the statutes of Benin's Football Federation in organising the elections.
Originally the Squirrels should have played Group C opponents Equatorial Guinea on 5 June.
A Squirrels squad had been in Cotonou training for the match while the already eliminated Equatorial Guinea cancelled a friendly against Uzbekistan in Tashkent last week, because of the qualifier.
Benin need to win their final two games against Equatorial Guinea and Mali to qualify for the Nations Cup as the winners of Group C.
Football's world governing body, Fifa, banned Benin from world football in May after a similar court ruling but stipulated the sanction could be lifted when elections had been held.
Pte Cheryl James was one of four soldiers who died at the Deepcut barracks between 1995 and 2002 amid claims of bullying and abuse.
Her family's lawyers want the scope of a new inquest into her death widened.
Pte James, 18, from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was found with a bullet wound to her head in November 1995.
Alison Foster, representing Pte James's family, told a pre-inquest hearing at Woking Coroner's Court they had material suggesting she "may have been sexually coerced or raped the night before, or before the time of her death".
She told the hearing: "There is now a direct allegation that Cheryl might have been ordered to sleep with the person we are calling Witness A by someone superior in rank to her.
"This is not fraternising. This is not an illicit sexual relationship between two young people across the ranks. This is something quite different."
A fresh inquest into the death of Pte James is due to start on 1 February and is expected to last seven weeks.
It was ordered after High Court judges quashed an open verdict recorded in December 1995.
Ptes Sean Benton, James Collinson and Geoff Gray also died from gunshot wounds at Deepcut.
Ian McGuigan, 39, of Ty Croes, Anglesey, was locked up for eight years after admitting conspiracy to supply cocaine and a firearms offence.
Anthony Donovan, 33, and Brian Townsend, 36, both from Liverpool were jailed for four years and eight months for the drugs charge.
Caernarfon Crown Court heard it was an "unsophisticated" drugs enterprise.
On 5 September, McGuigan was filmed by police handing over more than £35,000 in cash to Donovan and Townsend, who officers described as "drug couriers".
North Wales Police said McGuigan was watched stashing cocaine in a field, which officers searched and found drugs worth up to £176,000.
Officers also found eight hollow point bullets "designed to expand on impact" in his car and a taser disguised as an iPhone in his home.
McGuigan was given a concurrent five year sentence for these offences.
Speaking after the case, Det Ch Insp Brian Kearney said: "Ian Paul McGuigan was considered by some as 'Anglesey's drug lord' where in fact he was a leech preying on the vulnerable in our towns and villages whilst portraying himself as a legitimate car dealer and horse breeder.
"Until his recent arrest he believed he was untouchable."
Christian-owned firm Hobby Lobby has agreed to hand over the smuggled items and pay $3m (£2.3m) in a settlement.
US attorneys say it violated federal law by importing thousands of clay tablets and tokens as "tile samples".
Hobby Lobby said it "did not fully appreciate the complexities" of the import process when it began.
The retailer is well-known for being at the centre of a 2014 US Supreme Court battle to avoid paying for female workers' contraception on religious grounds.
Lawyers in New York said the company had imported "thousands of cuneiform tablets and clay bullae" - a way of recording information before the widespread use of paper.
The ancient artefacts were smuggled into the US through the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel to Hobby Lobby's Oklahoma offices, with falsified shipping labels claiming the packages contained "ceramic tiles", and originated in Turkey and Israel.
"The company imprudently relied on dealers and shippers who, in hindsight, did not understand the correct way to document and ship these items," Hobby Lobby said.
But prosecutors said the company was warned by an expert that such items from Iraq were likely to have been looted from archaeological sites and needed to be carefully verified.
But the company purchased some 5,500 artefacts despite the warning, spending $1.6m.
"While some may put a price on these artefacts, the people of Iraq consider them priceless," the agent in charge of the customs investigation, Angel Melendez, said.
Prosecutors said the purchase "was fraught with red flags", and the company never met the dealer, working with a middleman instead, and making the payments to seven private bank accounts.
The company's president, Steve Green, is also chairman of the planned museum, which is under construction in Washington DC, just a few blocks from the National Mall.
At 430,000 sq ft (40,000 sq m), it will be one of the largest museums in the city.
The museum's website says its collections will "convey the global impact and compelling history of the Bible in a unique and powerful way".
"Developing a collection of historically and religiously important books and artefacts about the Bible is consistent with the Company's mission and passion for the Bible," Hobby Lobby said in a statement.
"The Company was new to the world of acquiring these items, and did not fully appreciate the complexities of the acquisitions process. This resulted in some regrettable mistakes," it added.
Mr Green also said the company never purchased items directly from within Iraq, but has "learned a great deal" from the investigation.
"Our passion for the Bible continues, and we will do all that we can to support the efforts to conserve items that will help illuminate and enhance our understanding of this great book," he added.
They told BBC Hindi about a nudity clause introduced by a Bollywood director, who has already persuaded two other stars to sign up to it.
But many say such films may prove a little too risque to get past India's conservative censor board.
There is little or no nudity in Indian films, save for rare exceptions like an adaptation of the Kama Sutra.
Bollywood filmmaker Ekta Kapoor, who has scored some big box office hits, says she wants to strike gold again in her new film named XXX.
That means more sex and nudity - something virtually unheard of in Bollywood.
She said she first approached Sunny Leone, an Indo-American former porn star. But she refused the idea, wanting to put erotica behind her.
Ms Kapoor then took her nudity clause to two young actors making their debuts - Kyra Dutt and Rithvik Dhanjani, who had little hesitation in signing.
Ms Dutt said there was a limit to how long an actress would want to go on playing the "girl next door".
In theory, signing that clause sets them up to appear in three nude scenes, said to include full-frontal female nakedness and male buttocks.
When BBC Hindi talked about the nudity clause to some established Bollywood stars, they were hesitant.
Actress Richa Chadda said the clause would have advantages.
"I don't know about other camps, but I know Ekta Kapoor has done this for one of her films and she said it's better to be clear in advance," she said.
"If an actor is presented with this she or he can decide whether they want the role or not - at least this will prevent last-minute cast changes or bad publicity for the director."
Six younger, up-and-coming, actors and actresses told the BBC that they would be ready to sign a nudity clause if the drama and script demanded it.
Chirantana Bhatt, a journalist and stage actress, isn't surprised.
"There have been scenes in Hindi films where there is lip-locking sequences or love-making sequences. They are done quite aesthetically. Things have been happening in our films and it's not as conservative as people think."
The Foxes' squad was assembled for £57m, the cheapest of any currently in the top half of the table.
"If you take Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez as individuals, you're looking at £70m there," said agent and sports lawyer David Seligman of Leicester's attacking duo.
"You're looking at a team of upwards of £200m."
Leicester paid £1m for 29-year-old former non-league striker Vardy in 2012, while winger Mahrez, 25, joined for £400,000 in 2014.
Mahrez and Vardy have scored or assisted 48 of Leicester's 64 league goals this season, and have both earned international caps for England and Algeria respectively.
France midfielder N'Golo Kante, 25, was bought from Caen for £5.6m and has also been a key asset for Claudio Ranieri's side this term.
In January, research conducted by the International Centre for Sports Studies valued Vardy and Kante at 25m euros (£19.8m), with Mahrez at 40m euros (£31.7m).
Those figures differ from the values provided by market value analysis website Transfermarkt in the above graphic, although Seligman believes Leicester's star names could command even higher prices.
"If people are paying £50m plus for Raheem Sterling, then Mahrez is worth more than that. He's still got his peak to come," said Seligman.
"Kante signed an initial contract a year ago and hasn't signed another one and only has a year left. His rise has been meteoric.
"They're all going on to be international players and that adds to the price tag. They're better players now and also they're superstars commercially. Their values are going to increase massively."
Vardy signed a new three-year contract with Leicester in February, but has been linked with moves to former champions Manchester United and Chelsea.
"If you've got clubs like Chelsea, United and Arsenal coming in I don't think you can turn them down - even if you wouldn't be playing week in week out," added Seligman.
"But Leicester are champions with billionaire owners. If United can pay someone £200k a week then so can Leicester."
David Birks, 42, hid the drugs beneath a seat in a rented flatbed truck travelling from Belgium to the UK.
The consignment was discovered by National Crime Agency (NCA) officers in 2014 when the vehicle arrived in Dover.
Birks, of Dale Street, Rotherham, was found guilty of importing class A drugs at Canterbury Crown Court.
The court heard Birks had driven out to Belgium on the same day as the rented truck, hidden the drugs and then returned separately.
The driver of the truck, a Lithuanian national, was convicted in December for his involvement but was later given an absolute discharge on mental health grounds, the NCA said.
Nick Tuffs, from the NCA, said: "David Birks played a key role in an attempt to smuggle class A drugs worth almost £2m into the UK.
"There is no doubt that those drugs would have ended up on our streets."
A warrant has been issued for Birks's arrest and Mr Tuffs said the NCA was "determined" to catch him.
But that didn't stop Lewis Hamilton taking pole position for Mercedes.
He finished 0.074 seconds ahead of Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, whilst Nico Rosberg came in third.
It's Hamilton's 40th finish in pole position; he'll be hoping to win again on Sunday.
The 39-year-old started his Irish League career with the Ports in 2001, winning league and cup medals during his time at Shamrock Park.
The attacking full-back then won another championship medal with Glentoran in 2009.
Neill moved from the Oval to Mourneview Park the following year.
Portadown will look to the experienced Neill to bolster their attempt to secure an immediate return to the Irish Premiership.
Niall Currie's side will start next season in the Championship, having finished bottom of the top division in April.
"I think it is fitting that Kyle plays his last season at Portadown - perfect in fact," said Ports boss Currie.
Recently, Portadown signed another former Glenavon player in seasoned midfielder Andy Kilmartin on a two-year contract.
Former Ards, Dundela and Carrick Rangers striker Ben Roy has also signed for Portadown.
Steven Fletcher has been the preferred choice throughout the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, with his three Group D goals coming against Gibraltar.
Fletcher netted for Sunderland on Saturday and Leigh Griffiths, Chris Martin and Jordan Rhodes also scored for their clubs.
"Each of the strikers have different assets," said Strachan.
"But we don't have an all-round guy who has every one of these.
"Then you've got to say, 'what type of game should it be?' That's the kind of game you've got to try and envisage as a coach or coaches and pick the player or players that would suit that game.
"In saying that, we have a decision to make in midfield, where we've got good players."
Scotland can, at best, finish third in Group D and reach the play-offs. Losing to Poland would end their chances of reaching the finals.
If they draw, the Scots must hope Germany beat the Republic of Ireland to keep alive their hopes of a play-off place going into the final qualifier against Gibraltar in Portugal on Sunday. Scotland would also need the Irish to lose to Poland in this scenario.
Victory for Scotland over both Poland and Gibraltar and another defeat for the Poles against the Irish would allow the Scots to claim the play-off place with Martin O'Neill's side progressing automatically to the finals in France.
Strachan believes his side face a Poland team that have made a "terrific" improvement throughout the campaign.
Scotland beat the Poles 1-0 in a friendly in March 2014 and, a year ago, the two sides drew 2-2 in their first Group D encounter.
"They're definitely a better side and we've got better as well," Strachan explained.
"They've got better because they've improved as a group, but they also have some good players back in their side.
"Most of our work has been done on group defending, group attacking and group defending will hopefully nullify anything their top players in areas they want to play in.
"The secret is actually if you keep the ball long enough and you keep the ball longer than them then their chances of scoring a goal are reduced."
Strachan was also asked about media reports suggesting the Poles were expecting rough treatment from their hosts at Hampden.
He said: "All I know is over the tournament, they've had at least 30% more fouls against them than we have, they've had more yellow cards than we have, so that's the reality." | Politicians have called for an inquiry into the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland loan portfolio following revelations in a BBC Spotlight programme.

Four local fire services have been working with the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) since January to respond to life-threatening emergencies.
The firefighters are equipped with a medical kit so they can treat people when they are first on the scene.
The pilot has now been widened to include Redcar on Teesside.
Further stations are set to follow the brigades in Cleveland, County Durham and Darlington, Tyne and Wear and Northumberland who have been working as part of the Emergency Medical Response scheme.
NEAS director Caroline Thurlbeck said: "Our ambition for this trial is to improve the survival rate for those people who suffer from a life-threatening illness or injury in the community."
Firefighter responders have attended more than 1,200 incidents since the trial began. It will run until 30 June.
Similar projects are being trialled elsewhere in England.

It means the taxpayer now owns 7.99% of the bank, down from the 43% share it held following the lender's bailout at the height of the financial crisis.
Sales were suspended in January because of market volatility.
UK Financial Investments (UKFI), which manages the government's stake, said last month it would resume sales.
However, it abandoned plans for a share sale to the public, saying current market volatility meant the move was not sensible.
Instead, the government is now continuing to offload the holding to institutional investors.
UKFI sold another one percentage point worth of the bank's shares.
"Today's announcement shows the further progress made in returning Lloyds Banking Group to full private ownership and enabling the taxpayer to get their money back," Lloyds said in a statement.
The bank received £20.5bn in total from the government during the financial crisis.
The government has recouped more than £17bn of that money since UKFI began selling the stake off in 2013.
Two men, pilot Grant Jordan and Al Ryan, both in their 50s, are in a serious but stable condition in hospital after the light aircraft crashed in Vinoy Park, St Petersburg.
A 17-year-old girl and another man had minor injuries, according to the St Petersburg Police Department.
The group from the Ulster Flying Club were on a trip to the US.
They were flying to Key West in a hired Piper PA28 Cherokee plane.
The plane reportedly lost power on approach to an airport. It is thought the engine failed and the undercarriage clipped a tree, according to John Hughes, the chairman of Ulster Flying Club.
The pilot's wife, Susan Clarke from County Down, is preparing to fly to the US. She told the BBC she had spoken to her husband on the phone and his injuries were not life-threatening.
Ms Clarke said Mr Jordan had several broken bones, none of which required surgery.
Chairman of Ulster Flying Club, John Hughes had been in contact with all four following the crash.
"Allegedly what happened is the engine stopped on the approach over the town and he [Mr Jordan] did an excellent job and got the aircraft into a small park just on the line of the approach to the main airfield," he said.
"He appears to have done an excellent job, but on the last part of the approach into the field from the witness statements that I've heard, the aircraft clipped a couple of trees which upset his final attempt to get into this park, but he still got in.
"The aircraft was substantially in one piece which explains why one of the passengers was able to walk away.
"They've been lucky in that if this had happened and they hadn't had the competence to do it [land] then things could have turned out worse."

The college wants to pull down the buildings on the Strand to make way for a new, bigger academic building.
But pressure group Save Britain's Heritage said the new building would be "terrifically bland".
The college said it had the support of English Heritage and Westminster Council.
A King's College London spokeswoman added: "We took all the feedback we received on our draft plans into consideration before submitting our final application.
"We are extremely proud of our heritage and are sensitive to the architecturally significant environment in which we operate at the heart of London."
By Sunday morning the petition had received 5,800 signatures.
Save Britain's Heritage, which started the petition, said the plan for 154-158 Strand, which includes a new courtyard and link to Somerset House, had received strong objections from a number of heritage campaigners.
"These are buildings of great charm on one of London's most historic and central thoroughfares: the procession route from St Paul's Cathedral to Buckingham Palace," a spokesman said.
"They are recognised as unlisted buildings of merit in the Strand Conservation Area, contributing significantly to the setting of surrounding listed buildings, including the Grade I listed Somerset House and St Mary-Le-Strand.
"The proposed design does not respect Westminster's heritage and local distinctiveness - it replaces a group of buildings with distinctive façades with something terrifically bland."
The group is calling on the college to "shelve the plans for demolition and reconsider their proposals."
Westminster Council said the plan was approved on 21 April and could not go any further within the council.
The bonfire in Sandy Row shattered windows and damaged the exterior of Victoria Place on Wellwood Street.
About 30 residents held a meeting about compensation on Thursday.
The area's MP said repairs will happen and the building is "fully insured".
South Belfast MP Emma Little-Pengelly said she has spoken to some residents at Victoria Place.
The DUP MP said: "I know many of them were very worried, upset and fearful [about] what happened on the Eleventh Night and the risk of fire.
"That is wrong and should not happen.
"I have spoken to the property manager and he has assured me he will be doing everything possible to ensure the windows are fixed as soon as possible."
Mrs Little-Pengelly added: "The building is fully insured and these repairs will happen."
Eleventh Night bonfires are lit in many loyalist areas on the eve of the Twelfth of July, to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne.
Most are held as a community event but some have caused controversy, as they pose a threat to health and safety.
Concerns had been expressed over the height of this year's Sandy Row bonfire, which was built on land adjacent to Victoria Place.
The land is owned by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive but the apartment block is a privately-owned building.
After the bonfire was lit on Tuesday night, firefighters doused the building in water to protect it from flames.
Assistant chief fire officer Alan Walmsley said he had "no doubt" the fire would have spread to the building if it were not for the presence of fire crews.
The fire service also said that a glazed wall in the building had cracked because of the heat and residents complained that windowsills had melted.
The NIO said the issue of bonfires was "complex" and that it involved a "number of organisations".
It added: "Where an individual is seeking compensation for damage to property, the specific circumstances of each claim will define the process."
A resident in the apartment block, who did not want to be identified, told BBC News NI that "it's not good enough" that those who live there still do not know who will be paying for repairs.
"This is a maze to traverse, to try and understand where the responsibility lies," he said.
"The property [land on which the bonfire was lit] is the Housing Executive's, the bonfire scheme is run by the council - who helps the residents?
"Is it the NIO? Is it the council? We just want help, we don't care where it comes from."
He added: "Those who let it take place should be footing the bill. I'm not saying that's necessarily the bonfire people who started it.
"But there's enough government bodies in Northern Ireland who should be overseeing this, making it safe and covering it when it doesn't."
On Thursday, residents held a meeting over the issue. Some spoke to BBC News NI, but did not want to be identified.
When asked if she was now afraid to live in the flats, a woman said: "For 11 months of the year no, I think it is a fantastic place to live.
"I think Sandy Row can have a fantastic community atmosphere. It is a great location, but unfortunately for a couple of weeks in July, it isn't great."
She added: "We just want to make sure it is safe for residents, we don't want people sitting in their apartments fearing for their lives."
Her neighbour added: "We want the bonfire to be safer for all involved - this is a fiery inferno.
"Northern Ireland Fire Service have said if they were not here in the evening, the building would have caught fire.
"We are a month after Grenfell Tower and I am having to say publicly 'please stop building a towering inferno next to my home'.
"That is not a sentence someone should have to say."
Barbara Baraniecka, 43, was confirmed dead by the ambulance service on Thursday afternoon at her home in Standbridge Way, Tipton.
A post-mortem examination on Ms Baraniecka is yet to be carried out.
Her partner, Cezary Sobiewski, 40, from the same address, was arrested shortly afterwards and appeared before magistrates in Wolverhampton earlier.
He will tell the Commons the government is bringing forward plans for criminal penalties on companies whose employees encourage or enable tax evasion.
But Labour is still demanding answers over Mr Cameron's own tax affairs.
It comes after the PM published data on his 2009-15 tax and earnings including a £200,000 gift from his mother.
The figures were released in attempt to defuse a row about Mr Cameron's investment in his late father's offshore fund, details of which had earlier emerged in a leak of documents from a Panamanian law firm.
The summary of tax returns released by Mr Cameron show he received two payments of £100,000 from his mother Mary in 2011, a year after he inherited £300,000 from his father.
PM sets up anti-tax dodging task force
Downing Street releases PM's tax returns data
Kamal Ahmed: Is David Cameron a tax avoider?
Personal finance experts say it is not unusual for wealthy families to use this kind of "tax planning" to legally avoid inheritance tax.
Downing Street said the payments had been an attempt to "balance" the sums received by all the Cameron children, as the prime minister's older brother had inherited the family home.
Mr Cameron had already been pushing for greater tax transparency and is due to hold a summit on beating corruption of all kinds in London next month.
He said: "This government has done more than any other to take action against corruption in all its forms, but we will go further.
"That is why we will legislate this year to hold companies who fail to stop their employees facilitating tax evasion criminally liable."
David Cameron will tell MPs he will get tough on companies which are soft on tax evasion.
This is part of his battle to regain voters' trust after a torrid week of headlines.
He will repeat he is now being more transparent than any previous prime minister. But he may be inflicting some collateral damage on colleagues amid growing calls for senior politicians to reveal their tax affairs.
The chancellor has not committed to publishing his returns, but aides are making it clear he has not held shares in overseas trusts.
The Labour leader faces a challenge to convince voters his party can be trusted to do things differently, and his MPs that he can strike a blow against the PM.
Not for the first time UKIP leader Nigel Farage is bucking a trend, telling the BBC it was "a big no" to releasing information on how he is taxed.
Plans for a new offence for firms that fail to act to prevent economic crime were announced in February last year by the then-chief secretary to the Treasury, Danny Alexander.
They were put out to consultation and Mr Cameron is expected to announce that they will be included in May's Queen's Speech, with a new offence then expected to become law later this year.
It would lower the threshold of responsibility for companies whose employees may have advised clients to take actions which would evade - as opposed to avoid - paying tax.
This proposed legislation is an extension of the Bribery Act, which made firms responsible if they failed to take enough measures to prevent their own staff or contractors paying inducements.
The government has also announced it is to set up a new task force led by HM Revenue and Customs and the National Crime Agency to investigate allegations of tax-dodging and money laundering.
On Sunday, Mr Cameron took the unprecedented step of releasing a summary of earnings and tax going back six years after being accused by Labour of misleading the public over money he had invested in his father Ian Cameron's company, Blairmore Holdings.
But Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Mr Cameron needed to publish his full tax returns dating back to before he became prime minister in 2010, when he sold off shares in Blairmore for a £19,000 profit.
"We need to know why he put this money overseas in the first place, and whether he made anything out of it or not before 2010 when he became prime minister," Mr Corbyn told the BBC's Andrew Marr show.
Asked about the £200,000 gift Mr Cameron received from his mother, the Labour leader said there was "possibly" a case for looking at inheritance tax rules.
Blairmore was a client of Mossack Fonseca, the law firm that was the subject of a huge data leak last week known as the Panama Papers.
The prime minister insisted it was a "fundamental misconception" to suggest Blairmore had been set up to avoid tax, instead asserting that it was established to enable people to invest in dollar-denominated shares and companies.
Labour has announced a 10 point plan to "clean out" tax havens - including forcing MPs to disclose any offshore holdings in the register of members' interests. It has also called for a full public inquiry into the Panama Papers.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, meanwhile, has followed other Scottish party leaders by publishing her tax return for 2014-15, and committed to publishing it annually for as long as she is first minister. It shows she earned £104,817, and paid more than £31,000 in tax.
Police seized suicide vests and explosives during a raid in the Turkish capital, according to media reports.
The two people being held are Turkish nationals.
More than 100 people were killed in a double suicide bombing in Ankara in October that was blamed on IS members.
The pair arrested reportedly entered Turkey from Syria and were planning two separate attacks on crowded areas, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
Belgian police have recently also made arrests linked to alleged New Year's Eve attack plots, though no direct link to IS has yet been confirmed.
Two men arrested in Brussels in raids on Sunday and Monday are reportedly members of a motorcycle club called the Kamikaze Riders.
Though the group is believed to be linked to Sharia4Belgium, a now disbanded radical Islamist group, a 2013 investigation found the club had no link to terrorism, Belgian TV news website De Redactie reports.
The party held its existing five seats in Glasgow and took Labour's last three - Provan, Pollok and Maryhill.
It also turned the electoral map yellow with gains from Labour in Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and Inverclyde.
Labour's sole remaining constituency in west central Scotland is Dumbarton, which Jackie Baillie held by 109 votes.
The SNP's Humza Yousaf claimed victory in Pollok, with a majority of 6,484, denying former Labour leader Johann Lamont the seat she won in 2011 by just 623 votes.
In Provan, Ivan McKee was elected for the SNP, with 13,140 votes compared with 8,357 for Labour's Paul Martin.
In the Maryhill and Springburn seat, Labour's Patricia Ferguson lost to the SNP's Bob Doris. The SNP increased its share of the vote by almost 14%.
The SNP also held Cathcart, Kelvin, Shettleston and Southside where SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon was re-elected.
Labour clung on by taking four list seats in Glasgow, with former MP Anas Sarwar, Johann Lamont, Pauline McNeil and James Kelly elected.
Scottish Greens co-convener Patrick Harvie also took a list seat and Adam Tomkins and Annie Wells were elected for the Scottish Conservatives.
Labour's night of woe continued outside of Glasgow in territories which used to form the bedrock if its support in Scotland.
Across eight constituencies in North and South Lanarkshire, the SNP took four from Labour: Coatbridge and Chryston, Motherwell and Wishaw, Rutherglen and Uddingston and Bellshill.
The SNP also held Clydesdale, Airdrie and Shotts, Hamilton, and East Kilbride.
Across five constituencies in Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, Labour lost another three: Renfrewshire South and Greenock and Inverclyde both fell to the SNP and the Conservatives took Eastwood where former Scottish Labour leadership hopeful Ken MacIntosh was the incumbent.
The SNP also held Paisley and Renfrewshire North and West.
Across five constituencies in Ayrshire, the map remained static with the SNP holding Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley, Kilmarnock and Irvine Valley, Cunningham North and Cunningham South. The Conservatives held Ayr.
The three constituencies to the north of Glasgow, which straddle Argyll and Bute and East and West Dunbartonshire, also remained unchanged.
The SNP held both Strathkelvin and Bearsden and Clydebank and Milngavie, while Labour held Dumbarton.
The regional seats outside of Glasgow are spread across the West of Scotland, South of Scotland and Central Scotland lists.
As the SNP won most of the constituency seats, it picked up very little on the regional lists - scoring zero on the West and Central lists and just three in the South of Scotland list.
The Scottish Conservatives picked up a further eight seats across these list areas, with Labour gaining nine, the Scottish Greens one and the Liberal Democrats none.
In an "upbeat" speech, he is expected to say the economy has proved resilient since the referendum but admit that many families are "feeling the pinch".
Extra money is expected to be found for social care in England and to help firms facing steep business rate rises.
A £5m fund will be set up to mark the centenary of female suffrage next year.
The Budget, which coincides with International Women's Day, will support projects celebrating the 1918 Representation of the People Act, which gave more than eight million women the vote for the first time and which paved the way for universal suffrage a decade later.
With the public finances proving stronger in recent months than expected, and defying forecasts of a post-EU referendum downturn, economists say the chancellor has more room for manoeuvre than he might have expected at the time of last November's Autumn Statement.
He has already announced £320m in funding for new free schools and the expansion of existing grammar schools, while the science budget is also expected to be a winner, with funding for electric vehicles, robotics and artificial intelligence.
But Mr Hammond has distanced himself from talk of wider giveaways, stressing the need for the UK to reduce borrowing in the long term and to ensure the country is prepared for future global economic uncertainty and any short-term turbulence arising from its withdrawal from the EU.
The Treasury said Mr Hammond - who will set out his tax and spending plans for the year ahead at 12.30 GMT - would give an "upbeat assessment" of the UK's economic prospects and offer a "positive backdrop ahead of the start of new chapter for the country outside of the EU".

It suggested the chancellor's focus would be on equipping the UK to meet the challenges of a "rapidly changing economy" by ensuring every child could go to a good school and get the qualifications and skills they needed.
"He will say that in building the foundations of a stronger, fairer, better Britain, outside the EU - the government understands the concerns of those who worry about their children's ability to access the opportunities they themselves enjoyed," it said.
"He will go on to say he knows that many are still feeling the pinch, almost 10 years on from the financial crash and that the government will do everything it can to help ordinary working families to get on."
Mr Hammond received an eve-of-Budget boost when the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) upgraded its forecasts for the UK's economic growth this year from 1.2% to 1.6%, although it also warned that rising inflation could soon begin to squeeze the cost of living.
In January, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) reported that stronger than forecast income tax, VAT and corporation tax revenues meant that borrowing was £13.6bn lower than forecast in the first 10 months of the financial year and was likely to undershoot predictions for the year as a whole.
This has led to speculation that Mr Hammond will have money to spend on key priorities, including helping cash-strapped councils meet the rising costs of social care in England, having been criticised for not making extra resources available in the Autumn Statement.
The Local Government Association says councils with responsibility for social care are facing a funding gap of £2.6bn by 2020 and the entire system stands "on the "brink of collapse" without an immediate cash injection and a commitment to a long-term solution.
"The measures taken by government, such as the ability for councils to raise council tax to pay for social care, will not bring in enough funding to solve the social care funding crisis," said Izzi Seccombe, chair of the LGA's Community Wellbeing Board.
"Genuinely new government money is now the only way to protect the services caring for elderly and disabled people."
Prime Minister Theresa May has acknowledged acute pressures in social care and across the health service as a whole.
But she has rejected Labour claims that the NHS - which ministers say will receive £10bn in extra funding between 2016-7 and 2020-1 - is facing its worst financial crisis since its inception.
Mr Hammond is also expected to find money to alleviate the impact of increased business rates on many of the 500,000 firms facing them, following the government's first re-valuation of commercial property values since 2010.
Business groups have called for a hardship fund for firms facing, in some cases, increased bills of more than £1,000 a year and for more small business to be excluded entirely from having to pay rates.
The government has said the vast majority of businesses will not see their bills rise and many will actually pay less but the prime minister said last month that those set to be "particularly adversely affected" deserved assistance.
In the run-up to Wednesday's statement, the last Spring Budget before it moves to the autumn, there has been speculation that the chancellor could pay for a boost to social care by raising national insurance rates for the self-employed.
Tobacco and some alcohol duties are also tipped to rise.
First-half scores from Jonny Sexton, Brian O'Driscoll and Tom Croft put the tourists 27-3 up, but they lost prop Cian Healy to a potential tour-ending injury.
"An under-strength Western Force tried their best and played with spirit, but they were hopelessly outclassed by the Lions. The tourists only led 10-0 approaching half-time but they scored 59 points in the last 48 minutes.
"Next up they play Queensland Reds in Brisbane on Saturday - that will be a much tougher test. But the Lions will be full of confidence."
The Irishman was taken off on a stretcher off after twisting his ankle minutes before the interval, although initial reports suggested it may only be sprained.
The Lions ran in six more tries on the resumption, with Leigh Halfpenny landing every conversion - many from the touchline - and two penalties in a magnificent goalkicking display that earned him 24 points.
If the Lions coaches will be disappointed to concede two tries, it was otherwise a highly impressive display of power and precision in the same city where they racked up 116 points on their last visit in 2001.
Healy's early departure completed an eventful outing for the Leinster prop, who was earlier the subject of a biting claim from Force scrum-half Brett Sheehan.
Sheehan pointed to his arm in the 18th minute, claiming he had been bitten after tangling with Healy following a tackle. "I don't know if it was an accident or on purpose," Sheehan said at half-time. But the television match official ruled there was no evidence for his claim.
An early break from Tommy Bowe, bursting onto a short pass from Sexton, preceded a penalty that Halfpenny landed to open his account.
Sexton's scheming - a delicate cross-kick to George North almost led to an earlier try - was rewarded with the first score in the 11th minute.
The Lions stretched the Force defence from side to side, North initially making ground on the left, before Sexton delightfully dummied his way over. Halfpenny converted.
Two more chances quickly came and went, both after strong Lions scrums. Manu Tuilagi was held up short, before scrum-half Conor Murray made a solo dart for the line and lost the ball in contact.
After dominating the opening 20 minutes, the Lions were forced to twice defend line-outs close to their own line after Western Force broke out, and - to the hosts' credit - opted to kick penalties to touch rather than at goal.
But hooker James Hilterbrand, playing just his second game for the Force, was twice unable to find a straight throw when the hosts had an opportunity to challenge.
Sheehan did kick the Force's only points before the interval after Rory Best over-threw a line-out.
But after quick hands from Sean O'Brien, O'Driscoll released North and then took a return pass from the Wales wing to score his sixth try for the Lions, 12 years after his first in the same city.

O'Brien and Alun Wyn Jones then put Tom Croft over in the left corner before Halfpenny nailed another superb touchline conversion to maintain his 100% record from the tee.
The second half was only a minute old when the outstanding Jamie Heaslip, who set the move in motion with one of several barnstorming runs, strolled over on the right after a beautiful long pass from Sexton.
The Force did hit back, number eight Richard Brown creeping over after a quick pick-and-go from captain Matt Hodgson.
But it did little to upset the Lions' rhythm. Mako Vunipola - on for Healy - finished powerfully in the right corner after another deft Sexton pass.
Bowe squeezed over in the same spot soon afterwards, after the Force lost centre Ed Stubbs to the sin-bin for killing the ball.
The Lions conceded a second try when replacement Lachlan McCaffrey stretched through Sexton's tackle, after O'Brien appeared to dive out of the line.
But they responded with the best try of the game, Sexton and Tuilagi combining superbly to put O'Driscoll away for his second.
Owen Farrell was on for barely a minute when he scored with his first touch, and there was still time for Croft to depart after smashing heads with Brown, Jones to be sin-binned and Geoff Parling to stretch over in a breathless finale.

Science teacher Simon Clarkson told the ATL annual conference the current system of controlled assessments simply asked students to "jump through hoops".
However, delegates did not feel the answer was to remove practicals from the A-level grades altogether.
New tougher A-levels are due to be taught from September 2015.
The exams regulator, Ofqual, has decided students taking new A-levels in chemistry, biology and physics will perform at least 12 practical experiments.
But these will be assessed as a pass or fail and will not count towards the A-level grade.
Instead, written exams at the end of the two year course will form 100% of the final grade.
Leading science organisations have already criticised the plan, arguing it will lead to practical work being "de-prioritised" in schools.
The resolution commits the ATL to lobby the new government after the election to overturn the decision: "such that the assessment of practical work in science subjects as AS- and A-levels is included in the overall qualification grade."
The proposer, Matt Mugan from Somerset, argued that overall, the new A-level system, which will separate AS-levels from the A2 qualification, would mean more students "will fail".
However Mr Clarkson, a physics teacher in a comprehensive academy in Leicestershire, said the practical work required under the current assessment system did little to develop students' problem solving and scientific skills.
He said that the plans for separate practical assessments would "give us space to do some real science with our students".
Geoff Pye, from Southend, said his school had switched to teaching iGCSEs in science instead of GCSEs to avoid having to prepare pupils "to jump through artificial hoops".
When it came to AS-level however, Mr Pye said he was required to get pupils "to hoop jump rather than teaching them advanced skills with advanced equipment".
The new system would allow the school to teach "real practical science", said Mr Pye.
In response Mr Mugan warned: "If we reject this motion, we're effectively lying down and saying A-level reform is okay."
Another speaker, Matt Surman, warned that the union had already adopted the reversal of A-level reforms as policy.
On Monday, ATL general secretary, Mary Bousted criticised the exams regulator for not being prepared to engage with debate and uncertainty in ignoring the concerns of the science community over its plans for assessing practical skills at A-level and GCSE.
"I would implore you to do this for me, out of mercy for myself," Samantha Geimer told the court.
Ms Geimer had previously said she had forgiven the filmmaker for the 40-year-old assault.
Polanski admitted statutory rape and served 42 days in prison, but later fled the US.
The Oscar-winning director left over concern his plea bargain deal would be scrapped.
Polanski has been in self-imposed exile since pleading guilty to a charge of having unlawful sex over the 1977 incident, which took place at actor Jack Nicholson's Hollywood Hills home. The actor was not at home at the time.
Prosecutors later dropped the charges of rape and sodomy against Polanski.
"I am not speaking on behalf of Roman, but justice," Ms Geimer said on Friday. "I implore you to consider to resolve this matter without incarcerating an 83-year-old man."
The court hearing in Los Angeles is aimed at getting access to plea deal testimony from the 1970s, according to Mr Polanksi's lawyer Harland Braun.
He would use this to persuade European authorities to rescind an international arrest warrant against Polanski.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon said he would take the request under consideration and did not issue an immediate ruling.
Polanski was rearrested in Switzerland in 2009 and spent months in prison and under house arrest before being released.
Polish courts and the Swiss authorities have rejected requests for him to be extradited to the US.
Polanski is a citizen of Poland and of France.
Crowds lined the streets and cheered as the 87-year-old king was driven from the capital, Bangkok, to the royal palace in the coastal town of Hua Hin.
The monarch has been in poor health for some years.
He is revered by Thais and is often seen as an arbiter in the country's divided political arena.
The king left Siriraj Hospital as planned accompanied by Queen Sirikit, 82, and their daughter, Princess Sirindhorn. They travelled in three separate vehicles.
The king had initially gone into hospital last October to have his gall bladder removed.
Since then he has rarely been seen in public, although he did leave last week to celebrate the 65th anniversary of his coronation at a ceremony at the royal palace in Bangkok.
It is not the first time he has had a long stay in hospital - he spent four years getting treatment before being released in 2013.
The king's popularity stems partly from his long reign - he ascended the throne in 1946. He is also seen as a pillar of stability in Thailand.
Although he has no formal political role, many think he is needed now more than ever. Thailand is currently governed by the military, which took power in a coup last year.
General Prayut Chan-ocha led the takeover and is now the country's prime minister. He has promised to hand back power to a civilian government, but there is no firm timetable for when that will happen.
The company's Facebook page was overrun with negative comments after the discount appeared in a paper on Monday.
Owner Marc Watts said he would keep the course open despite receiving threats to burn down the premises.
The discount was reportedly not new and had been running for three years.
An advert for the discount offered by Tumbledown Trails Golf Course featured in the Wisconsin State Journal earlier this week, saying it was intended to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the 2001 attacks in New York that killed nearly 3,000 people.
It said the discount, which also included 18 holes of golf for $19.11, was valid for the anniversary on 11 September only.
Responding to negative comment on the discount, owner Marc Watts apologised on the golf course's Facebook page saying there was no intention to cause offence and pledged to donate some of the day's earnings to the 9/11 memorial in New York.
"We're a little hurt by the fact that people are putting such a negative context on this," Mr Watts said in an interview with the Associated Press news agency. "I thought people would appreciate it."
He added: "We could close, but then all these people with their negative attitudes, they win.''
Northern Ireland has a power-sharing government, in which Irish nationalists and unionists must work together.
The system was set up to provide a political settlement after years of conflict. A first minister and a deputy first minister are appointed to lead an Executive Committee of Ministers.
In the current Stormont Executive, the Democratic Unionist Party has six ministers and Sinn Féin has five. An independent unionist holds the justice ministry.
Westminster has delegated powers to Stormont which cover most areas of government.
The executive has responsibility for healthcare, education, transport, policing, justice, agriculture, economic matters and many other issues.
The first and deputy first ministers lead the executive. Although they have different titles, they basically have equal authority and cannot work in isolation from each other.
Martin McGuinness resigned as deputy first minister following a row between Sinn Féin and the DUP over a green energy scheme.
The DUP leader, Arlene Foster, was the minister in charge of the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) when it was set up in 2012.
The scheme was designed to encourage businesses to switch from fossil fuels to more environmentally friendly energy sources. But subsidies were overly generous and initially there was no cap on the payments.
The scheme is projected to run £490m over budget, although the DUP say they have a plan to eliminate the overspend.
Mr McGuinness quit after Mrs Foster rejected his calls for her to temporarily stand aside as first minister while an investigation was carried out.
The RHI scandal has caused the most public rift between the parties in recent weeks.
But Martin McGuinness referred to other issues in his resignation letter. There are many disagreements between the parties.
On Brexit, the DUP wanted the UK to leave the EU - Sinn Féin took the opposite position.
Sinn Féin wants to legalise same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland, but the DUP does not.
Just before Christmas, a DUP minister withdrew funding for an Irish language bursary scheme, in a move which angered nationalist parties.
There are also differences on the issue of how new agencies to investigate killings from the Troubles should operate.
The rules on how Northern Ireland is run were drawn up in previous political agreements.
Martin McGuinness's resignation as deputy first minister automatically put Arlene Foster out of her job as first minister, because they hold a joint office.
After the positions have been vacant for seven days, the administration is effectively dead and the law says the Northern Ireland secretary must call a new election after a "reasonable" time period.
Sinn Féin has made it clear it will not re-nominate anyone to become deputy first minister.
Elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly use a form of proportional representation called the Single Transferable Vote (STV).
Voters rank candidates in numerical preference. But the next assembly election will see one significant change from previous ones.
There will be a reduction in assembly members from 108 to 90. Northern Ireland's 18 constituencies will return five MLAs each, not six as was the case beforehand. The number of MLAs has been cut in order to reduce the cost of politics.
Although the first and deputy first ministers are out of their office, other ministers remain in place. However, they cannot take any major decisions, as they require the approval of the executive, which will not meet.
It is just eight months since the last NI Assembly election. In the May 2016 poll, the DUP and Sinn Féin were well ahead of their rivals.
After the new election, negotiations will take place between the parties to see if power-sharing can be restored.
If the DUP and Sinn Féin are again returned as the largest parties (as most observers expect), the disagreement between them is so deep that long and complex negotiations are likely to be needed before they are prepared to go into government with each other again.
After an election, the parties have three weeks to form an executive. If that deadline runs out - then technically, there should be another election - though few expect that would happen, in reality.
The British and Irish governments have said they are ready to help in any process which could restore stability.
A wide range of unresolved issues could be on the table - the workings of the Stormont Assembly and Executive, the operation of new agencies to investigate Troubles' killings, budgets, the Irish language, a Bill of Rights, the status of Northern Ireland after Brexit, minority rights and lots more.
If a power-sharing government cannot be re-established, then some other way of governing Northern Ireland will have to be found.
The last time devolution was suspended, there was direct rule from Westminster - ministers from the British government took over Stormont departments.
Nationalists are calling for a form of "joint authority", where the British and Irish governments share responsibility for running Northern Ireland. But unionists will be hostile to that idea.
The Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire has said he is not contemplating any alternatives to devolved government.
The political crisis is affecting many areas of life.
A Stormont plan to tackle hospital waiting lists cannot go ahead without an Executive.
The uncertainty over who will be making government decisions in a few weeks' time is causing concern among public sector workers.
And business leaders are worried the instability could affect overseas investment.
There is a question mark over who will speak for Northern Ireland as the UK begins the process of leaving the EU.
While there has been a degree of public indifference to previous crisis situations at Stormont - the impending collapse of the executive is generating lots of talk - and unease.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) now says that three million gallons of wastewater spilled from an abandoned mine last week.
The EPA does not believe wildlife is in significant danger because the sludge moved so quickly downstream.
Local authorities took steps to protect drinking water supplies and farms.
The spill began on 5 August when EPA workers, who were cleaning up the closed Gold King Mine, accidentally sent the toxic water flowing into a tributary of the Animas River.
The Animas River has been closed and local officials have advised people to stay out of the water.
The EPA is meeting with Colorado residents this week and testing local wells for contamination. More than 1,000 wells may have been contaminated.
"We're going to continue to work until this is cleaned up and hold ourselves to the same standards that we would anyone that would have created this situation." Shaun McGrath, an EPA official, told residents at one of the community meetings, according the New York Times.
Some residents derided the agency, calling it the "Environmental Pollution Agency".
The EPA is still investigating the health effects of the leak, which included heavy metals including lead and arsenic.
The discoloured water, which is now beginning to dissipate, stretched more than 100 miles into neighbouring New Mexico.
The victim was attacked at the house in Longford Crescent, in Bulwell, at about 19:00 GMT on Friday.
He is currently in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Police said they believed the attack was targeted. No other details have been released.
A forensic examination of the property is under way and officers have appealed for anyone with information about the incident to get in touch.
Doug Wilson took up his role covering Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders in April.
He said he believed the area could offer "something for everyone".
He highlighted a string of attractions including outdoor pursuits, festivals, food and drink and the common riding events.
Mr Wilson lives in the Borders but his role as regional director also covers the neighbouring region of Dumfries and Galloway.
He said he was looking forward to seeing some of the world's best cyclists in Castle Douglas in September.
He described the Tour of Britain as a "fantastic opportunity to showcase the impressive scenery and warm spirit of the region's people on a global stage".
The Borders Railway has already had a huge impact on the region and Mr Wilson said he expected its importance to grow further.
"The number of people travelling on the Borders Railway has surpassed all expectations," he said.
"As we hit the summer months we hope to see the numbers rising again.
"The last year has been incredible for the region with the launch of the Borders Railway which has opened up the region to the global market."
He listed a string of other attractions the area had to offer including:
He added that the area was "full of hidden gems" but said it was time to "share them with the rest of the world".
Police said she was driving a Daewoo Matiz which was in collision with a black Volkswagen Tiguan at the junction of Cadishead Way and Fairhills Road in Irlam on Tuesday.
The woman and her 15-year-old female passenger were both trapped in the car.
They were freed by the emergency services and the woman was taken to Wythenshawe hospital by air ambulance, where she later died.
The teenage passenger was taken to Manchester Royal Children's Hospital.
The 52-year-old driver of the Volkswagen is at Salford Royal Hospital with neck and chest injuries.
Greater Manchester Police appealed for witnesses to contact the force.
Paint was thrown over the windows and wall of Crewe Orange Hall on Crewe Road in Upper Ballinderry some time between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
A spokesman for the Orange Order said the attack was the eighth on its property in Northern Ireland this year.
He said there "remains a legacy of hatred" against the order "amongst a small minority".
"Such moronic activity is an attack on the entire community and serves absolutely no purpose," he added.
"The vast majority of the community utterly rejects such sectarianism and criminality."

The images show the prince at the family's Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, and were taken in mid-July by photographer Matt Porteous.
One image shows the prince playing with the family dog Lupo.
Prince George Alexander Louis - known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge - was born on 22 July 2013.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "The Duke and Duchess hope that people will enjoy seeing these new photographs.
"They would like to thank everyone for all the lovely messages they have received as Prince George celebrates his third birthday."
However, the RSPCA has criticised the picture of Prince George holding an ice cream close to the mouth of the family dog.
"It is lovely that Prince George is trying to help keep his family dog, Lupo, cool in these high temperatures," a spokesman said.
"We would advise people to be cautious when giving their dogs food meant for human consumption as some items, like chocolate, can be highly toxic to dogs and dairy items can be difficult for them to digest.
"Instead of ice cream we would suggest making an ice lolly from pet-friendly ingredients. Making these can be really fun for children and the end product is both safe and enjoyable for dogs."
Paula Boyden, veterinary director at the Dogs Trust charity, agreed.
She said she "would always advocate seeking methods to keep your dog cool, but possibly not in the form of an ice cream, unless it is a dog-friendly version".
"The cow's milk and sugar content in ice cream can sometimes lead to digestive issues. Whenever you do treat your dog, do consider the ingredients and always seek the advice of your vet," she added.
Blues fans were shocked by the Chinese-owned club's decision to replace the immensely popular Rowett with the club eighth in the Championship table.
"The difficulty was that my predecessor was doing very well," Zola told BBC WM.
"Sometimes that makes it not easy for a new manager, but I'm professional, it was a good opportunity and I could not refuse it," added the Italian, 50.
Zola played against Birmingham twice during his illustrious career with Chelsea.
He scored in both matches in the 2002-03 season - a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge and a 3-1 win at St Andrew's - as part of a Chelsea team that also contained future Birmingham players Mario Melchiot and Jesper Gronkjaer.
A return to the Premier League is the main target for the former West Ham and Watford boss.
"When I was first asked two days ago, I said it is fine for me," he said. "It is a good club with good players and I like these things. It is a chance to build something and get in the Premier League as quickly as possible.
"The fact that the previous manager had done very well will make it more of a challenge but it will also make me more focused to become more accepted."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton, who takes his second-placed Seagulls side to Birmingham on Saturday, led Blues to the Championship play-offs in his one season in charge in 2011-12.
"My reaction was like most people, who were quite shocked," Hughton told BBC Sussex. "Gary's done a wonderful job in the period of time that he's been there and made real progress.
"In this day and age in football, there aren't many surprises, but that was one of them.
"It's wonderful to see Gianfranco back in the English game. Nobody will begrudge somebody of his stamp coming back in, but it will more a case of feeling for Gary. It's always sad to see a very good manager lose his job.
"We can only prepare ourselves like for any other game. They have some very good players and are now on the back of a good win against Ipswich."
Former Blues defender Michael Johnson knows Zola well, having done his FA coaching badge on the same course.
"He's one of the most decorated footballers in English football, somebody I now consider a friend," Johnson told BBC WM.
"He's a great guy, very well mannered and very well spoken but, make no bones about it, if he does not get his way and the players do not adhere to what he wants, he'll come down heavily on them.
"It will be difficult to get people onside in the outset. But, in Gianfranco Zola, they've got someone who can do well for them."
The 26-year-old Corinthians player has now moved to Chelsea on loan until the end of the season - aiming to rise again.
Blues interim manager Guus Hiddink insists the move is not a "gamble". Here, BBC Sport analyses whether the Dutchman is right.
Rumours were rife at the beginning of the 2008-09 season that Chelsea's new Brazilian manager Luiz Felipe Scolari was doing everything in his power to convince an 18-year-old Pato to join him in west London.
The World Cup-winning coach had witnessed the teenager's breakthrough in his homeland with Internacional, his goalscoring debut for Brazil, a one-in-two goal record during his first Serie A season and a call up to the squad for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
'Big Phil' was sure Pato would be an instant success at Stamford Bridge. The only fly in the ointment? AC Milan were not prepared to sell a striker set to dominate Europe's scoring charts for the next decade and beyond.
With hindsight, the Rossoneri would regret not cashing in as they had done with Ukraine legend Andriy Shevchenko two years previously, as Pato's promising career stalled dramatically at the San Siro.
Pato was named Serie A Young Player of the Year at the end of the 2008-09 season after ending the campaign as AC Milan's leading scorer. However, during the following season and while still a teenager, his body began showing the strain.
A series of muscle injuries, including pulled hamstrings, cost him a place in the Brazil squad for the 2010 World Cup - although admittedly the exclusion of Neymar - then at Santos - was the bigger story.
Even the Rossoneri's famed Milan Lab struggled to get Pato fit for any length of time and when an £11.5m bid came in from Corinthians the Italian outfit decided to cut their losses.
The Sao Paulo club that gave the world Rivellino - who starred for Brazil on their way to World Cup glory in 1970 - was on a high after winning their first Copa Libertadores title in 2012 and following it up by beating Chelsea in the Club World Cup later that year.
Pato joined Corinthians in January 2013, but was out the door again within 12 months. His nadir being a failed panenka penalty (a slow chip down the centre of the goal) in a Copa do Brasil tie against Gremio, the fierce rivals of Pato's first club Internacional, that was saved by Dida, his former AC Milan team-mate.
Pato has spent the last two years on loan across the city at Sao Paulo FC, the initial deal taking the attacking midfielder Jadson, now in China with Tianjin Quanjian, in the opposite direction.
While the strike rate has dropped to a goal every three games, Pato has been able to avoid any serious setbacks with injuries during his time with the Tricolor.
The price tag - a joint record fee for a Brazilian club along with the £11.5m paid to Boca Juniors, also by Corinthians, for Carlos Tevez in 2005 - was continually used to undermine Pato's efforts in his homeland.
Undoubtedly the Brazilian has lost some of his pace after his time on the treatment table and the fear factor for opposition defenders has waned, but a new-found mental resilience has kept Pato amongst the goals.
Even with partisan crowds forever on his back, the forward refused to shirk responsibility and was always looking to get a shot away.
Sao Paulo FC tried to make Pato's move to their Morumbi stadium permanent but Corinthians were keen to recoup more of the £11.5m they paid for the player than their neighbours were willing to offer.
Chinese outfit Tianjin Quanjian met Corinthians' valuation and offered the player a salary in the region of £10m a year.
Pato refused the move, much to the chagrin of the Corinthians board, but has since signed a contract extension with the Brazilian club.
The hope on both sides is that following a successful six-month stint with Chelsea a permanent move will be forthcoming that not only suits Corinthians but also the player's ambitions.
The 26-year-old believes he has unfinished business in Europe and Chelsea welcome a striker out to prove a point.
Pato has received criticism in Brazil for not capitalising on his talents and not showing enough passion on the pitch.
For example, the traits his Chelsea team-mate Diego Costa demonstrates when tangling with opponents are lauded throughout South America.
Pato is a different animal, but the goal remains the same - prove the doubters wrong by sticking the ball in the back of the net again and again.

Police discovered the burnt body of Ozgecan Aslan, 20, in a riverbed in the city of Mersin, on Friday.
They have arrested three men in connection with her death - a minibus driver, his father and a friend.
The Turkish president and prime minister called Ms Aslan's family to offer their condolences.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu promised the family to hunt those responsible for the crime and punish them.
Ms Aslan, a psychology student, was kidnapped on Wednesday on her way home.
The driver allegedly tried to rape her. She reportedly fought him off with pepper spray, but was then stabbed to death. She was also hit on the head with an iron pipe.
The brutality of the murder caused an outcry across Turkey.
Thousands of women staged protests in several cities on Saturday, including Ankara, Istanbul, and Mersin - Ms Aslan's hometown in southern Turkey.
In Istanbul, women activists held two separate protests to show their anger at the murder.
During the day, hundreds gathered behind a banner that read "Enough, we will stop the murder of women!"
In the evening, the crowd got bigger. Thousands of women of all ages and walks of life poured out to the streets.
A young woman, Bulay Dogan, said Ms Aslan's murder scared her.
"I'm afraid, because the same thing could happen to me or my friends. But on the other hand, I'm furious too. How can they [the murder suspects] be so reckless to do something like this?" she asked.
Also on the protests was a gender studies academic who would only give her first name, Zeynep. She thought Ms Aslan's murder was of a political nature too.
"It is the result of the radical Islamic atmosphere created by the government. The men say that women should be conservative. They think if they are not conservative, they deserve this kind of violence," she said.
The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has its roots in political Islam and has been in power since 2002.
Women's rights organisations say violence against women has risen sharply in the last decade.
Last year alone, almost 300 women were killed at the hands of men and more than 100 were raped, according to local reports.
Sevda Bayramoglu from Women for Peace Initiative demanded new legislation to protect women from violence.
"Men kill and rape and torture women. The state, the 'men's state', is protecting them. We expect the parliament to stop this violence," she said.
Ms Aslan's murder may become a rallying cause for activists seeking to end violence against women in Turkey.
Login details for social media accounts could be seen behind a journalist interviewed on France 2.
It comes after hackers claiming to represent jihadist group Islamic State (IS) took TV5Monde off air.
The Paris-based channel told the BBC the visible data was a one-off mistake and was not linked to the attack.
Its TV station, website and social media accounts were all hit on Wednesday night.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls condemned what he called an "unacceptable attack on freedom of information".
Journalist David Delos was speaking on camera of the "frustration" felt in the newsroom on Thursday when passwords for accounts on Twitter and Instagram could be seen on a dividing screen in the background.
Most were too blurry to be distinguished with the naked eye, but social media users claimed to have been able to decipher YouTube login details.
Footage broadcast on BFMTV also appeared to show a password written on yellow post-it notes and stuck on computer monitors.
A spokeswoman for TV5Monde said passwords were not normally left around in such a way, and the error made in the interview was an isolated case.
Prosecutors have opened an investigation into the cyber-attack, which French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said was likely to have been a "terrorist act".
A message posted by the hackers on TV5Monde's Facebook site read: "The CyberCaliphate continues its cyberjihad against the enemies of Islamic State."
They replaced TV5Monde's social media profile pictures with a masked Islamist fighter.
Mr Cazeneuve promised the government would do "everything to catch those who tried to attack the heart of the French Republic".
The head of TV5, Yves Bigot, said on Thursday it was not clear whether the hackers had targeted the channel specifically, or used it as a messenger.
"Obviously what they were doing is threatening the French government, the French military and the French policy in the Middle East."
France is part of the US-led coalition carrying out air strikes against IS in Iraq and Syria.
The channel has not commented on the latest apparent security breach.
TV5Monde regained control over most of its sites about two hours after the attack began on Wednesday and full services were restored by Thursday evening.
Aung Kyaw Naing, a freelance journalist, was killed in October after being detained by the military near the border with Thailand.
The report by the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission listed multiple injuries to his body.
But it made no judgement on how he was killed.
Aung Kyaw Naing was shot dead on 4 October after being arrested reporting on clashes between the military and an ethnic rebel group.
The army said he was working for the rebels and that they had shot him when he tried to escape.
In November, his body was exhumed and sent for a post-mortem examination after his family raised questions over how he died and why he was then buried so quickly.
According to the investigation, he had a cracked skull, a broken arm and ribs and was hit by five bullets including one from a shot from beneath his jaw, reports the BBC's Jonah Fisher from Yangon.
His wife says she believes he was tortured - but this report stops short of that conclusion.
Instead it recommends the case be taken to a civilian court for the sake of greater transparency, our correspondent adds.
Aung Kyaw Naing had often reported on ethnic issues along the Myanmar-Thai border for local newspapers, and had met opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi several times.
The circumstances of his death provoked international concern, with the US calling on Myanmar (also known as Burma) to conduct a "credible and transparent investigation".
The figure has been revealed as the county council conducts a review of how it has been dealing with the issue.
The authority said partnerships are working well but improvement is needed around the best way to respond once potential victims are identified.
Last month, neighbouring council Stoke-on-Trent said 27 youngsters were targeted in 2013 and 78 were at risk.
The review has been requested by Staffordshire County Council's Safe and Strong Communities Select Committee.
It is an annual update on progress made tackling child sexual exploitation, trafficking and is also in response to the recent Rotherham child abuse scandal where at least 1,400 children were subjected to appalling sexual exploitation.
The review said council-run Families First has been carrying out an an independent audit of children recognised in September 2014 as having been previously or currently at risk of sexual exploitation. The children are known to local support teams and safeguarding units.
"This audit is nearly complete and early findings indicate that work at the early stage of cases between partner agencies is good. Forty-three children have been identified as currently at risk of child sexual exploitation," the report said.
The select committee will receive a full update on the review on 15 December.
Chairman John Francis, said: "Since 2011 the council and its partners have done a great deal to understand and combat child sexual exploitation.
"However no-one is complacent about this abhorrent crime and as our knowledge and understanding of it evolves, so too do the methods we use to protect children and target those who prey on them.
"This committee has regularly looked at this issue in recent years to ensure everyone is working together effectively and this month's meeting is the latest step in that process."
The 34-year-old, from Cambridge, was being sought by police after breaching court bail and was found by officers at an address in the city on Monday.
Cambridge Police posted a photo of the chest of drawers on Twitter and said the man was found "hiding in an unusual place".
The man was due to appear at Cambridge Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
Friends of Otley Lido has announced an exclusivity deal with Leeds City Council, which owns the site.
The group said it now has 12 months to form plans to raise £5 million needed to bring the lido back to life.
Leonie Sharp of Friends of Otley Lido said the plan was to heat the pool with hydro-electric power.
The West Yorkshire lido closed in 1993 and became a leisure venue for several years before gradually declining and closing to the public.
Ms Sharp said: "There's no likelihood that we'll be be swimming there in the short term, but the plan is to restore this as an outdoor swimming pool for the local community.
"We plan on having a heated swimming pool, ideally heated from hydro-electric power which would make it economically viable and sustainable."
Supporters wore bathing suits for the announcement at Wharfemeadows Park on Saturday.
Friends of Otley Lido, established in 2015, said the site had become "something of an eyesore, spoiling its picturesque riverside location".
The group said the recent floods caused further damage to the site, and part of the retaining wall had collapsed.
There is another lido on the edge of Ilkley Moor, six miles away, which was flooded when the River Wharfe burst its banks in December.
Ilkley lido's main pool is freshwater and unheated, with a lawn for sunbathing and picnicking, and an indoor heated pool. | A six-month trial that involves firefighters across north-east England dealing with medical emergencies has been expanded.

Look Who's Back (Er Ist Wieder Da) imagines Hitler waking up in modern-day Berlin and getting his own TV show.
Based on a novel by the author Timur Vermes, the film was a box-office hit when it came out in Germany last year and was subsequently bought by Netflix.
Germany's submission will be chosen by an independent jury on 25 August.
The last German film to win the foreign film Oscar was The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen) in 2007.
Downfall (Der Untergang), a film about Hitler's final days, was nominated for the award two years earlier.
Other films Germany is considering for the 2016 award include Toni Erdmann, a comedy about a father-daughter relationship that was well received at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Look Who's Back is one of four titles on the shortlist about Nazis, with others including a new version of The Diary of Anne Frank and a film about the German prosecutor Fritz Bauer.

Last week's number one - The Secret Life of Pets - dropped to number two with takings of $29.3m (£22.3m).
Ghostbusters and Lights Out both took $21.6m (£16.4m) - making the two films tied in third place.
Ice Age: Collision Course debuted at number five with $21m (£15.9m), considerably lower than the previous films in the children's series.
All four of the animated movie's predecessors debuted with at least $40m (£30.4m) on their opening weekends.
Star Trek Beyond, which stars Chris Pine and Idris Elba, is the third film in the rebooted franchise.
But despite its strong performance in the US over the weekend, it took $15m (£11.4m) less than 2009's Star Trek - the first film in the current series.

Free tuition for Scottish students at Scottish universities comes at a price.
The price is that there is a cap on the number of places - otherwise the cost of the policy could spiral out of control.
The overall number of university places available to Scots is around a record high - but the increase in supply is not keeping up with the increase in applications.
It's worth noting though that these places are also available to students from EU countries outside the UK, as a result of European law, although only a small proportion of free places go to EU students.
We cannot, however, easily say who the unsuccessful Scottish applicants are.
Were they judged unsuitable for the courses they applied for? Did they apply for places at "top" universities unsuccessfully when they might have been better off applying for a course with lower entry requirements?
If an applicant fails to secure a place this year, it should not mark the end of their dreams of a higher education.
They could start a college course - then either reapply or even benefit from schemes which allow students who successfully complete some college courses to go straight into the second or third year of a university course.
Universities broadly support the Scottish government's free tuition policy.
However, if supply and demand get out of kilter, an important political debate could open up - one there is currently little appetite for in academia or amongst left of centre politicians.
Could they even help youngsters from disadvantaged areas secure a place?
The argument has never been that free tuition alone would help someone from a disadvantaged background - rather the argument is that free tuition removed a potential obstacle and that free university tuition was a right.
South of the border, universities can charge fees of up to £9,000 a year. Universities can decide for themselves just how many students to admit.
Tuition fees are, in effect, paid back through a scheme which operates rather like a graduate tax - they are not like normal loan repayments.
Graduates pay back 9% of anything they earn over and above £21,000 a year until the debt is cleared.
Tuition fees in themselves do not leave any current student better or worse off. The issue is the support towards living expenses.
It can be argued that a non-graduate would be doing well to be earning significantly more than £21,000 in their 20s.
Graduates are paying back money they might not otherwise have earned so, despite the repayments, are still better off overall after investing in their future prospects.
The challenge for anyone who does not support the current system of free tuition will be to win over hearts and minds.
They would have to persuade people - especially people in areas where a low proportion of youngsters go to university - that the idea of a graduate paying back the cost of their tuition is fairer than the idea of getting it for free.
Otherwise an argument for tuition fees would risk looking reactionary rather than equitable and progressive. | According to official figures, the chances of a Scottish university applicant being offered a place have slipped. | 38,328,648 | 634 | 23 | false |
A large team of ants does the heavy lifting but they lack direction, while a small number of "scouts" intervene and steer for short periods.
They appear to have a mathematically perfect balance between individuality and conformism, the researchers said.
The discovery was made by analysing videos of ants carrying oversized food items, including Cheerios.
Published in the journal Nature Communications, the study used a very common species known as the longhorn crazy ant.
The species' name refers to the way the little creatures dash about, frequently changing direction with apparently aimless abandon.
But the new findings suggest that the level of aimlessness in these ants' behaviour is in fact very finely tuned.
"The group is tuned to be maximally sensitive to the leader ants," said the paper's senior author Dr Ofer Feinerman, a physicist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot.
He said the ants seem to have just the right amount of erratic individualism. About 90% of the time, they will "go with the flow" and pull in the same direction as everybody else; the other 10% of the time they live up to their name.
That means that on the whole, each ant transport team works together and avoids a fruitless tug-of-war. But crucially, their erratic streak leaves a degree of instability - and this allows a single ant with new information to join in and change the direction.
"This leader that comes along, she doesn't have to introduce herself, she doesn't have to be stronger than the rest - she just has to pull in the correct direction," Dr Feinerman told BBC News.
"The only communication in the system is the forces that they feel through the object."
So while it is the sheer number of ants on the team that determines how fast the tidbit gets transported, the navigation is supplied by these "scouts".
To test out their model, Dr Feinerman and his colleagues tried the ants in some extreme situations - giving them objects much bigger than anything they would normally shift.
"The prediction that the model gave us is that we can play with this mix of conformism and non-conformism," he said. "If you move something huge, you need many, many more ants. And then the force that each ant feels through the object is much stronger. So... all the ants feel a stronger urge to act as conformists."
Sure enough, when the ants were presented with silicon discs 8cm or even 16cm across, they lost their erratic streak altogether and everybody pushed in the same direction. The discs moved in very smooth, straight lines - but navigating around obstacles became impossible.
Their system works best, Dr Feinerman explained, for medium-sized objects (to an ant) of about 1cm, or "about what they can squeeze through the nest entrance".
So the Cheerios used in the experiment were perfect. And oddly enough, so is cat food - which is how the whole project got started.
"[One of my colleagues] moved to a new apartment at the same time as he joined the lab, and there were ants in his apartment. He saw the cat food moving - they were stealing the cat food.
"He came back with a movie of it the next day. We watched it and we realised it was very interesting… We've been working on it for four years now."
Prof Nigel Franks, who runs the Ant Lab at the University of Bristol, said the study was "a really exquisite piece of work" and a fine example of ideas from physics being applied to biological questions.
"When ants are moving huge objects, one of the things that people have noticed… is how chaotic it can appear, with ants randomly joining a group and then leaving it again," Prof Franks told the BBC.
"What this study shows really beautifully is that those ants that join in briefly can be the informed ones that know which way the object should be going - so they give a little bit of steerage periodically, and keep things more or less on track.
"I think this very quantitative and beautiful approach illuminates a curious bit of natural history that we didn't previously understand."

Unlike us, that data is here to stay - so what should our loved ones do with it in the event of our deaths?
Iain Twigg was 33 when he passed away.
"I woke up the day after he died and it's a whole different world and there was so much to do," his widow Caroline told me.
Iain had been undergoing successful chemotherapy for a brain tumour. Then suddenly he experienced a seizure and three months later he was gone.
While her parents helped Caroline tackle probate and sort out financial arrangements, there was one legacy that she had to tackle alone.
"Iain wasn't a person who liked the internet or the computer, he complained about how much time people spent on it and yet he still ended up with so many different accounts and passwords and a whole life online," she said.
"Fifty years ago people had a shoebox of photos and letters. If you look online for things for Iain there's thousands of pictures and messages."
Despite her husband's initial ambivalence about the internet, Caroline found comfort in cyberspace.
She set up a website to celebrate Iain's life and through the charity Widowed and Young (WAY) discovered a supportive online community of other women who lost their partners before the age of 50. She also used crowd-funding site Kickstarter to fund writing a book which she created for children to help them deal with grief.
Some people choose to anchor a digital presence to a physical space - their own headstone.
Dorset company QR Memories offers stainless steel QR codes which can be attached to a grave and link through to a web page full of content provided by the person while they were still alive, or by their families.
"It's not always the things we would expect," says managing director Stephen Nimmo of the material uploaded.
"We have got some video from a lady's funeral, the hymns that were sung and an old gentleman in a pub simply singing - seven minutes of him singing this song and that clearly is what defined him."
The firm charges £95 for a code and £95 for an accompanying page, although the code can link to anywhere on the net if preferred.
"QR codes have a strange beauty to them," he adds.
"We often get asked what happens if they become obsolete, what do you do next? We always think about it but they are here to stay in whatever form they might be. The fact they haven't become an overused medium is probably quite a good thing for us, it remains more unique to what we're trying to achieve."
Caroline chose to memorialise Iain's Facebook page, which meant that while his friends could still see his timeline and photos there were no painful reminders around the time of his birthday, for example.
Last year Facebook updated its policy to include nominating a "legacy contact" who can play a more active role in managing someone's page, including writing a pinned post, updating profile photographs and responding to friend requests.
They can also download a copy of the profile - but not read private messages or log in as the account holder themselves.
Alternatively you can just request that the company deletes your account.
If you do nothing, the firm will memorialise your account once notified of your death.
"For a number of years we provided the ability to memorialise an account," said Vanessa Callison-Burch, product manager for Facebook memorialisation..
"What we heard over time was that people really wanted to do more things with the account after someone had passed away.
"We also heard people wanted to be able to plan ahead and decide what they would like to have happen to their own account."
Ms Callison-Burch said that "millions" of people have chosen legacy contacts so far.
Not all tech firms are as flexible - under Twitter's current guidelines an account can only be deleted after notification of a person's death and Apple is notoriously reluctant to provide assistance with tracking down unknown Apple ID passwords.
Caroline was able to guess most of her husband's passwords - they had known each other since school days - but they hadn't ever discussed it.
And they are not alone - a poll recently carried out by UK-based funeral directors CPJ Field of nearly 2,500 adults found that only 14% of them had shared their log-in details.
"Passwords are a big issue," says Caroline.
"If your partner gets run over you're not going to have any warning so this is applicable to everybody - write your passwords down and keep them somewhere accessible."
Some firms like US-based LastPass offer a password management service - you store all your passwords with them under encryption and have a "master key" - a kind of super password that unlocks the rest.
In January this year it introduced an emergency access feature whereby a designated contact can request access to your account and it will be granted after a certain period of time designated by you.
So if somebody requests access, LastPass emails its client and waits for a response. If none arrives in the timeframe stated, emergency access is granted.
But how reliable are these firms?
LastPass has already been breached once and says it remains "vigilant" to future hack attacks.
It has been in business for eight years, but the lifespan of this sort of enterprise is uncertain, warns Dr Wendy Moncur, reader in socio-digital interaction at Dundee University.
"There have been a number of [legacy manager] companies springing up since about 2005," she says.
"What we've been seeing is that some of them last, most of them don't. Some companies are lasting less time than the social media users they aim to serve."
Caroline Twigg also has a more personal warning about digital housekeeping.
"People will find stuff online,' she says.
"I've met people who discovered quite awful secrets after their partner had gone by looking on their computer.
"If you have things you wouldn't want certain people to see, just assume it's all accessible afterwards."

June and Gordon Matthews said that The Moorside, starring Sheridan Smith, was "sick and disgusting" and the events should not be treated as entertainment.
The Moorside - named after the estate in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, where the real-life events unfolded - will be screened on BBC One on Tuesday with the second and concluding part the following week.
But rather than being Shannon's story, the BBC says it actually focuses on the experience of the woman who led the campaign to find the youngster.
Sheridan Smith will star as Julie Bushby, a member of Dewsbury's residents and tenants association.
"The themes of faith and trust in human nature, and the way the whole community came together, really inspired me," said Smith.
Bushby has given a small selection of newspaper and TV interviews in the past week, praising Smith's portrayal and revealing that the actress has stayed in touch since filming.
The programme was written by screenwriter Neil McKay, who had previously penned TV dramas based around the real-life stories of Myra Hindley (See No Evil) and Fred West (Appropriate Adult).
The hoax kidnapping of the West Yorkshire schoolgirl dominated news headlines in 2008.
As local police undertook their biggest search operation since the Yorkshire Ripper, the nine-year-old was being drugged and hidden in the base of a divan bed by the very people appealing for her safe return.
Her mother, Karen, and Michael Donovan, the uncle of Karen's partner, were sent to prison for eight years for kidnap, false imprisonment and perverting the course of justice, after the court heard about their plot to hide the child and claim a £50,000 reward that subsequently had been offered by the Sun.
The crime shocked the nation, but that shock was felt even more keenly in the local community, which had been seen playing a big part in the 24 days of searching; printing T-shirts, organising fundraising, and praying for the safety of Shannon.
Matthews reported Shannon missing at 18:48 GMT on 19 February 2008 after she had failed to return home from a swimming trip with her school.
The last confirmed sighting of her had been outside Westmoor Junior School, in Dewsbury, at 15:10 GMT.
Within 24 hours, West Yorkshire Police had started a massive search for her, with more than 200 officers involved.
And the community began its own operation, printing copies of Shannon's picture and posting them up around the neighbourhood.
The idea that Shannon had run away from home was touted, but her family insisted it would be totally out of character.
As the search entered its second day, around 200 volunteers joined the 200 officers already looking for Shannon.
Within the first week, specialists were drafted in to help, from behavioural experts and a dedicated team of scientists, to mountain rescue teams and specially trained dogs.
But when they found no sign of her, police warned that she may have "fallen into the wrong hands" and said they were "gravely concerned".
They also revealed a scribbled note on Shannon's bedroom wall, saying she wanted to see more of her natural father.
On the eve of Mother's Day, 11 days after Shannon had disappeared, her mother launched an emotional appeal for her daughter's return.
"Mother's Day is a day when every mum wants her children around them," she said. "Today I don't want cards or presents, I just want my darling daughter home safely.
"I have a special bond with Shannon and I feel sure that she is alive and will come home to her mum."
It was that day that the Sun made its first reward offer of £20,000 for anyone with information that would lead to finding Shannon.
Newspapers, with support from police, occasionally make such reward offers when crimes are committed. Occasionally, they are known to provide a breakthrough and the newspaper which makes the offer may gain the benefit of a close relationship with the detectives and victims.
Matthews continued to appear on TV and make statements begging for her daughter to come home.
She asked for whoever had her to release her, said the family no longer felt safe and even suggested someone close to the family had taken Shannon to "get at her".
Others added their voices to the plea, including the head teacher from Shannon's school.
And the community was still out every day trying to find where she had gone, supporting the family and wearing T-shirts emblazoned with Shannon's face.
The reward from the Sun was upped to £50,000 in another bid to find her.
On 14 March 2008, Shannon was found alive. She was hidden in the base of a divan bed at a house in Batley Carr, less than a mile from her home.
The house belonged to Donovan, who was arrested after a struggle with police.
Matthews denied any part in the hoax but Shannon was taken straight into care after her discovery.
The mother and daughter saw each other for the first time on 3 April, but three days later Matthews was charged with child neglect and perverting the course of justice over her daughter's disappearance, joining Donovan in the dock.
The community was left in shock.
A Freedom of Information request to West Yorkshire Police revealed the investigation into Shannon's disappearance cost £2,659,000.
On 5 September 2008, Matthews and Donovan denied all the charges at Leeds Crown Court.
The trial started in November and on day one it was revealed that Shannon had been drugged and tethered in the flat where she was found.
Prosecutors described Matthews as a "Jekyll and Hyde" character, who forced a sad look on her face when police and media were around.
Donovan was described as a fantasist by his own niece, and he claimed Matthews paid him and then threatened him to keep Shannon hidden.
The pair kept denying their parts.
Julian Goose, summing up the case for the prosecution, said Matthews had "lied and lied and lied again" as she told five different versions regarding her daughter's disappearance.
Alan Conrad, who was defending Donovan, said his client was not an "evil monster" but in reality he was a "pathetic inadequate" who was "vulnerable, unsophisticated and weak in body and mind".
On 4 December 2008, the pair were found guilty, with the jury taking just six hours on their unanimous verdict.
On 23 January 2009, they were sentenced to eight years each in prison. Matthews was released in 2012 after serving half her sentence, by which time Donovan had already been freed.
Shannon is now 18 and living with a different family.
The two-part drama The Moorside will air on Tuesday, 7 February, and Tuesday, 14 February, at 21:00 GMT on BBC One.
The England Saxons international, 27, joined from Worcester before the start of the 2013-14 season but has been plagued by injuries and made just 29 appearances, scoring 10 tries.
Benjamin said: "It is massively disappointing to be denied the opportunity to play by injury.
"I have some great memories, but now it is time to consider another challenge."
Director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: "The tries he scored for the Tigers showed just how much of a threat his pace and power could present to opposition defences and made him a valuable member of the squad.
"He has worked diligently and it is very unfortunate that he has not been able to make a full recovery. We wish Miles well and he will always be welcome at Welford Road."
Espen Barth Eide praised the two sides for showing "a lot of courage" as they resumed attempts to reunify the island.
Greek Cypriot leader Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci met in the first of a series of meetings planned for this week.
Previous attempts to create a united but federal Cyprus have failed.
The idea behind these talks, which have been going on for some 19 months, would be to share power between the two communities, divided since 1974.
The leaders, said by diplomats to be genuinely committed to achieving a deal, talked for around four hours on Monday.
They have both acknowledged there are key issues that still need to be thrashed out.
But if they make progress, leaders from the three countries that currently guarantee Cyprus's security - Britain, Greece and Turkey - will join the talks.
Cyprus has been split since Turkish troops invaded more than 40 years ago, following an Athens-inspired coup by Greek Cypriots seeking union with Greece.
The northern third of the island is inhabited by Turkish Cypriots and the southern two-thirds by Greek Cypriots.
The new UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who has spoken of an "historic opportunity" for a breakthrough, will also be Geneva.
However, there are still significant stumbling blocks before a deal can be made.
Property: Top of the agenda at Monday's talks was what should happen to the properties that Greek Cypriots had to abandon in 1974? Should they get the right to take their old homes back or be compensated and if so by how much?
Security: How can the security of the Turkish Cypriots be guaranteed if Turkey's estimated 30,000 troops leave? Greek Cypriots see them as an occupying force so should some stay or should Turkey retain the right to intervene?
Who would act as a guarantor of the deal. The EU of which Cyprus is already a member - or the UK, which has two military bases on the island?
Power and the role of the EU: There is talk of a rotating presidency but how would that work and could a Turkish Cypriot president really represent the country from time to time at EU summits?
Territory: How much more territory should Greek Cypriots gain to reflect the fact that they make up the majority of the island's population? UN peacekeeping forces estimate that 165,000 Greek Cypriots fled or were expelled from the north, and 45,000 Turkish Cypriots from the south, although the parties to the conflict say the figures are higher.
Any deal reached in Geneva would also have to be backed by both communities in separate referendums later this year. An earlier UN reunification plan was backed in 2004 by a majority of Turkish Cypriots but overwhelmingly rejected by Greek Cypriots.
The Belgium Under-21 midfielder had made 15 appearances for the German Bundesliga side this season, including against Everton in the Europa League.
Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs said in a statement: "We are all deeply saddened and our disbelief can hardly be put into words.
"We can't believe he is no longer with us. Our thoughts at this difficult time are with his family and loved ones."
Allofs added: "He was the good spirit of our team and a fun-loving person. In addition, Junior was an excellent football player who was only at the very beginning of his development."
Malanda was linked to Fulham and Crystal Palace when he left Zulte Waregem in 2013 but instead joined Wolfsburg, before going back on loan to the Belgian side.
His last game was a 2-1 win over Cologne on 20 December.
Wolfsburg police said Malanda was killed when he was a passenger in a car that crashed on a motorway near the German city of Bielefeld on Saturday.
He was en route to meet up with his team-mates to fly out to South Africa for a training camp.
Wolfsburg had postponed their departure to Cape Town on Saturday but have decided to fly out on Sunday.
"It was no easy decision," Allofs said. "This would also have been in the spirit of Junior.
"We want to keep going, professionally, also for him. We will meet with fans [on Sunday] and say goodbye together."
Wolfsburg team-mate Kevin de Bruyne wrote on social media: "So strange to hear your friend in the morning and then hear this news. Lost a great friend way too early. RIP my friend. You will always be around."
Another team-mate, Nicklas Bendtner, said: "Not only a great player, but a great person. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family brother. Your kind heart was rare and special. You will always be remembered."
Chelsea's Thorgan Hazard, who played with Malanda at Zulte Waregem, said: "Whyyyyy??? I love you brooo."
Everton and Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku said: "I love you my brother.
"Junior, why you are my brother….my brother, one of my only and unique friends, I cannot believe you are not there anymore."
Malanda's fellow Belgian Thibaut Courtois, the Chelsea goalkeeper, said: "RIP @JuniorMalanda!! We lose a huge talent and a great person!!"
The Royal Belgian Football Association wrote: "The world of football has lost a great talent today. URBSFA sends its condolences to his family & friends #ripmalanda."
Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder Mario Gotze said: "RIP Junior #Malanda - sooo sad! My thoughts are with your family and friends...!"
Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel, Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng, Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia and Paris St-Germain left-back Lucas Digne were also among the other players to use social media to send their condolences.
The RFL's match review panel had been asked to review amateur video footage which showed a number of fights breaking out.
Seven players from Fryston and two from Keighley have been cited.
Keighley's Emmerson Whittel suffered a broken jaw, while the club alleges Josh Lynam was also bitten on the ear.
The charges range from Grade A, which carries a maximum one-match ban, to Grade F, which can see a player banned for eight matches or more.
Fryston's Steve Scott, the only player to be charged twice, faces two Grade F charges.
Keighley, from League One, England's third-tier competition, progressed to the Challenge Cup fourth round with a 50-32 win over Fryston - a side from the second tier of England's amateur game.
The RFL has also launched an investigation that will look at "events surrounding the fixture".
The match, a 'home' game for Fryston, was played at nearby Featherstone in West Yorkshire after consideration was given to reversing the tie and playing it at Keighley instead.
Keighley have also complained to the RFL about their off-field treatment before kick-off, as they allege players and members of staff were refused entry to the ground without a valid matchday ticket.
Barrie Donnelly, 37, from Uddingston, South Lanarkshire, and Mark Sweeten, 41, from Glasgow, deny making abusive and threatening remarks on 8 November.
It is alleged they targeted the McGills Buses owners as they entered Ibrox Stadium at Edmiston Drive.
Both men entered not guilty pleas during an appearance at Glasgow Sheriff Court and a trial was set for May 2015.
The charge alleges that both men behaved in way that was likely or would be likely to "incite public disorder" by shouting, swearing and making abusive and offensive remarks.
Lancashire Police confirmed it had received a report of a rape allegation dating back to 2006.
A spokesman said: "We are in the very early stages of an investigation and inquiries are ongoing."
Last week the MP was suspended by the Labour Party after he admitted sending lewd texts to a 17-year-old girl.
Responding to the rape allegation, Mr Danczuk said: "These claims are malicious, untrue and extremely upsetting.
"The police have not been in touch with me but I will co-operate fully with any inquiries and am confident my name will be promptly cleared."
He has faced sustained calls for him to resign following the separate matter of the text messages he admitted sending to teenager Sophena Houlihan.
A small group of people staged a demonstration outside his constituency office on Monday.
However, Mr Danczuk, who blamed a "drink problem" for the sexually explicit messages, told the BBC he has no intention of standing down.
The embattled MP has also admitted receiving £1,100 from a photographic agency that sells pictures of him to tabloid newspapers and magazines.
Speaking to Newsnight, Mr Danczuk defended the arrangement with FameFlyNet.
He said it was a properly declared payment for "media advice and [to] give ideas about what they might or might not do."
He added: "I don't make any apologies for it."
It says the government should be honest about NHS spending plans at a time when patient demand is rising.
It comes days before a major initiative by the NHS to control spending.
The Department of Health said the government wanted to make the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world.
This is an important week for the financing of the health service in England, says BBC health editor Hugh Pym.
The NHS leadership is set to unveil plans to get hospitals and other trusts to stick to agreed spending limits.
In the last financial year, trusts ran up a collective deficit of £2.4bn - and the aim is to cut that figure significantly.
But the King's Fund warns that if the government wants to balance the health service books, then staffing levels will have to be reduced and waiting time targets relaxed, so patient care could be compromised.
Helen McKenna, senior policy adviser at the King's Fund and one of the authors of the report, said: "Politicians need to be honest with the public about what the NHS can offer with the funding allocated to it.
"It is no longer credible to argue that the NHS can continue to meet increasing demand for services, deliver current standards of care and stay within its budget. This is widely understood within the NHS and now needs to be debated with the public.
"There are no easy choices, but it would be disastrous to adopt a mindset that fails to acknowledge the serious state of the NHS in England today."
A Department of Health spokesman said the NHS is "performing well and delivering safer, more compassionate care".
"We know some providers are under financial pressure caused by big rises in demand and our ageing population, but are investing an extra £10bn a year by 2020 to deliver the NHS's own plan for the future."
"High quality care and good financial management go hand in hand and we are determined to make the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world, delivering a 7-day NHS."
The Queen received more than 70 presents from foreign dignitaries, charities and private individuals.
A member of the Sri Lankan parliament presented a portrait of the Queen burned on to a tree trunk.
Regulations state that official gifts are not the property of the royal recipient but may be used by them.
The rules surrounding gifts to the Royal Family call for extravagant gifts to be "discouraged" and can be refused if they are inappropriate or "appear to place the member of the Royal Family under any obligation to the donor".
Official gifts are defined as being any object received on an official engagement, and only items with a value of less than £150, given by a person or organisation privately known by the royal, can be considered a personal present.
Princess Anne received some unusual-sounding official gifts, including a plastic stand-up angel, a garden gnome and a book titled Your Arms Remind Me of Pork Luncheon Meat.
Gifts to the Duke of York took a culinary theme, with a chocolate hamper, Turkish sweets, champagne, tea, a gingerbread cathedral, a box of mangoes, macaroons and a chocolate bear presented to him.
Recipients of such perishable items who choose or are unable to consume them themselves are instructed by the official gift rules to pass them on to charities to avoid waste.
Ties were a popular present for the male royals - with the Duke of Edinburgh, Duke of York, Earl of Wessex and the Duke of Kent all receiving additions to their wardrobes.
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall received their official gifts while on overseas tours to India and Sri Lanka, and the Gulf states.
Prince Charles lists ceremonial necklaces, several chests of teas, a number of decorative elephants, Arabic coffee sets and bottle of perfume as items received on the trips.
Apart from the colourful art and exotic objects the Queen received from foreign dignitaries, she also received some unusual novelty items on engagements in the UK.
On a visit to Baker Street station to mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground, the Queen was given a commemorative Oyster Card.
And an artillery cartridge that was fired as part of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations was mounted on a plinth and offered to the Queen on a visit to the barracks of the the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery.
The Queen also received gifts from the BBC, including framed copies of the Radio Times to commemorate her 60 years on the throne, and a radio alarm clock.
The details of the items and donors were revealed in lists of official gifts to members of the Royal Family released by Buckingham Palace and Clarence House.
The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) is to buy development land from the Welsh government.
UWTSD, which includes the former Swansea Metropolitan University, said it needed a new city campus despite having other sites.
The deal is subject to the university receiving planning permission.
It will initially buy six development plots on the SA1 Swansea waterfront development covering around 8.5 acres (3.5 hectares).
Ms Hart has also given the university the option to buy nine additional plots totalling more than 11 acres (4.5 hectares).
"Plans for this new campus will contribute to the overall mixed use nature of this major regeneration scheme and should add vibrancy to the overall development," said Ms Hart.
"It will provide the university with the opportunity to develop modern purpose-designed teaching facilities for students and staff and enable it to develop closer links with local businesses for the benefit of the economy."
The university already has a number of buildings in Swansea including campuses at Townhill and Mount Pleasant.
UWTSD was formed in November 2010 through the merger of the University of Wales Lampeter and Trinity University College Carmarthen, before being joined in August 2013 by Swansea Metropolitan University and the Coleg Sir Gar further education college in Carmarthenshire.
Regarding the multi-million pound development plans, UWTSD vice chancellor Prof Medwin Hughes said: "This prime waterfront location in the heart of the city will transform the educational experience for staff and students.
"It will enable UWTSD Swansea to provide a vibrant city experience, connecting academia with innovation, enterprise, businesses and the community.
"We now look forward to working with the city and county of Swansea, as well as our own staff and students, to develop the vision so that we will deliver a positive impact for Swansea, the wider region and for Wales."
The sale of the land is subject to UWTSD achieving planning consent for development incorporating educational facilities and supporting uses.
Meanwhile, Swansea University has started work on its £450m campus development.
The Wales Bill, currently passing through Parliament, was revised earlier this year amid concern it could dilute the power of AMs to make laws.
But the cross-party said the bill remains over-complicated.
The UK government claimed the bill would secure "stronger" devolution.
Huw Irranca-Davies, committee chairman, said: "The extra red tape which comes with this bill, at a time when the UK government advocates cutting bureaucracy, means it may not be long before we are all back around the table trying to thrash out a new, lasting constitutional settlement for Wales, something this law was promised to be."
The Labour AM and former MP said: "It will be the first Wales Bill to reverse devolution.
"We welcome some elements - the devolution of electoral arrangements and the recognition of the permanence of the assembly.
"But it increases red tape and complexity."
The House of Lords is to consider the bill as part of its progress through Parliament next week.
"There is now a great burden of responsibility on the Lords to amend this bill," Mr Irranca-Davies said.
The Wales Bill shakes up how power is divided between the assembly and Westminster by changing how powers are defined.
Currently, the areas that AMs can make new laws on are defined in legislation.
But under the planned system, the areas that will remain in Westminster's hands will be set out in a list of reserved powers, with AMs being told what they cannot legislate on rather than what they can.
It also gives the assembly new powers over elections, energy and transport, as well as the ability for the assembly to change its name.
Following criticism, the UK government announced it would shorten the original draft list of reserved powers.
It had promised to change legislative tests that some had argued would reduce the assembly's ability to make law.
But the committee report said the changes had not gone far enough and could still result in a "roll-back".
AMs also said that even though the reservation list had been shortened, in many cases powers had simply been lumped into one category instead.
The report claimed that the law remains complex and unclear - and calls into question how long it would be before another devolution law was needed.
This is made worse, it argued, by the failure to provide a distinct or separate jurisdiction for law in Wales. Currently Wales shares a legal jurisdiction with England.
Plaid Cymru AM, committee member and former assembly presiding officer Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas said: "It's a legislative failure on the part of the imperial capital and its works."
The report also said the bill fails to put Wales on a par with Scotland and Northern Ireland in terms of powers and responsibilities, and criticised the speed that it passed through the House of Commons.
The Conservatives are represented on the committee by David Melding, an ex-deputy presiding officer.
But Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies broke with the committee's consensus to defend the Wales Bill as a "landmark piece of legislation".
The bill would "offer greater clarity and accountability than ever before in the devolved era", he said, and provide "an opportunity to move on from constitutional affairs".
A Wales Office spokeswoman said: "The UK government is committed to creating a stronger Wales within the United Kingdom.
"The Wales Bill will secure a stronger, clearer and fairer devolution and is based on the cross-party St David's Day agreement.
"The calls to introduce a separate legal jurisdiction would add costs and increase complexity and have been rejected by the government and opposition in parliament."
In a study of 83 patients, published in The Lancet, those who received the device experienced an immediate reduction in blood pressure.
But one-third also developed swelling in their leg which needed treatment.
Experts say the device could be a new way of controlling blood pressure, particularly in hard-to-treat cases.
High blood pressure affects one in three adults in the UK, with around 5% of this group suffering from resistant hypertension, which does not respond to medication.
High blood pressure is dangerous because it causes strain on the vessels carrying blood around the body.
This can cause vessels to become clogged up or to weaken, which can cause damage to the heart or brain.
High blood pressure also increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney damage and eye problems.
The device, called a coupler, made by ROX Medical in California which also funded the study, creates a chamber between the artery and vein in the upper thigh which appears to help lower resistance and bring blood pressure down.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London, which led the study, tested the device on 42 patients with high blood pressure which had not responded to at least three types of drug treatment.
They compared the effects with 35 patients who were given the standard medical treatment for uncontrolled high blood pressure.
Patients were drawn from 16 centres across Europe.
The study found "significant reductions in blood pressure" in the coupler group six months after the device was implanted.
For patients in this group, there were fewer hypertensive complications and fewer hospital admissions for high blood pressure emergencies.
Patients who had the coupler inserted were also able to reduce their medication.
However, the device did have side-effects. In around 29% of patients, swelling developed in the leg in which the coupler was inserted.
This required another short procedure to insert a stent in the vein.
Lead author Dr Melvin Lobo, from Queen Mary University of London, and director of Barts blood pressure clinic, said this was an easy thing to do and was probably due to turbulence caused by the device in the thigh.
But he acknowledged there was more to learn about the device.
"We need more research to explore the long-term effects of the coupler, better understand its safety and understand more about how it works within the body.
"We must find better means of treating high blood pressure as drugs do not work for everyone and the coupler is a big step forward in our search for alternative treatment."
Prof Tom MacDonald, president of the British Hypertension Society, and professor of clinical pharmacology at the University of Dundee, said the device could be "a fantastic thing for patients".
"It's another potentially great advance in the treatment of hypertension.
"It's not without its problems, but the beauty of it is you can reverse it, and it can be given to people on top of hypertension medication.
"We now need more rigorously controlled studies and a definitive trial before it can be funded for the NHS."
Some of the scenes for the movie starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard were shot on the island.
The locations included the Storr and the Quiraing, two striking features of the landscape in north east Skye.
Donald MacDonald of Aros, the Portree arts centre with the cinema, hopes to convince distributor Studiocanal to let it show the film next month.
So far Studiocanal has said the movie will not be available to the Aros until a later date.
Mr MacDonald said showing Macbeth on the day of its nationwide release would make it more attractive to audiences.
He said: "If it comes later on people will have lost that initial interest.
"You really want to capture that interest at the time of release."
Mr MacDonald added: "In many ways the small independents need more support than the large cinemas and the multiplexes that can attract large audiences all year round."
Meanwhile, ahead of the new film's UK release on 2 October, VisitScotland has released a guide to sites connected to the real, Shakespearean and Fassbender versions of Macbeth.
The list features the locations on Skye, where the scenes filmed include a large battle scene.
Also on the guide is Dingwall, the town in Ross-shire where it is believed Macbeth was born in or about the year 1005.
Forres - where Shakespeare located King Duncan's castle and near the "blasted heath" where Macbeth had his encounter with the three witches - is mentioned.
Other sites include Cawdor Castle near Nairn, Elgin Cathedral and Glamis Castle in Angus.
The guide was unveiled at an event at Brodie Castle at Brodie in Moray.
Mike Cantlay, chairman of VisitScotland, said: "This new guide gives visitors to Scotland a fascinating insight into one of our most enduring figures.
"Featuring places of historical significance, theatrical intrigue and stunning beauty, our new web pages will encourage more people to discover the places associated with Macbeth - the man, the myth and the legend."
Wigan Athletic manager Martinez apologised for his late arrival in Wembley's media theatre - "sorry gents we're not used to celebrating" - and declared he had watched movies with worse scripts than this truly remarkable tale.
History was written by Wigan when substitute Ben Watson glanced home Shaun Maloney's corner just as the board was hoisted for three minutes' stoppage time.
The entertaining and often mystifying team created by Spaniard Martinez had won their first major trophy in 81 years and put English football's most romantic piece of silverware alongside all those won by their Rugby League counterparts.
For Manchester City, it was sheer misery.
In football parlance, City barely turned up - and for Mancini the irritation at events on and off the pitch was all too plain to see.
The Italian awoke to reports that City had concluded a deal to replace him with Malaga's Manuel Pellegrini and the non-performance of his team darkened both his mood and his chances of keeping his job.
After insisting the reports were incorrect, he wavered somewhat and turned on Manchester City officials for not killing speculation when it started six months ago.
Whether this was clever timing moments after an empty-handed season was confirmed remains to be seen.
For Wigan and Martinez there was little other than unbridled joy - at least until Tuesday when they travel to Arsenal in their latest attempt to avoid relegation to the Championship.
Martinez likes to sign off his match notes with the Spanish phrase "Sin Miedo" - Without Fear - and if 90 minutes summed up that philosophy then this was it.
Wigan were magnificent. Fearless, refusing to take a backward step.

Composed in possession and, for once, fiercely disciplined at the back. They were truly worthy winners.
There was symmetry too. Only those inhabiting a different planet would not know chairman Dave Whelan felt he had unfinished business with this competition and venue after breaking his leg playing for Blackburn Rovers in the 1960 FA Cup final against Wolves.
Whelan had his moment here, leading the team out, then watching as the winner was scored by Watson, only just back after a broken leg sustained at Liverpool in November that was expected to rule him out for the season.
He was the goal hero but Wigan had excellence everywhere. James McArthur overshadowed Yaya Toure in midfield but the real star of this show was Callum McManaman.
It was not so long McManaman was being vilified for his challenge on Newcastle United's Massadio Haidara - but Martinez insisted this "diamond" was a special talent.
He is a diamond that is still rough around the edges but this was one of the stand-out FA Cup final performances.
McManaman took Gael Clichy to the cleaners with a display of wing play Manchester City's left-back will never forget, and not in a good way.
He was almost unplayable at times and it was no surprise he was the victim of Pablo Zabaleta's challenge that led to the Argentine's second yellow card and dismissal.
The backdrop to this final was conjecture about the future of the two managers - so what will they face?
Martinez once more skirted around speculation linking him with replacing David Moyes at Everton but this was a display of tactical excellence and sheer positivity that makes a manager's stock rise.
He may yet take Wigan into the Championship but he has done something that means his name will never be forgotten there. He and his club chased an FA Cup dream and caught it at Wembley.

So much rests on Wigan's last two games. If they stay up, with European football secured, Whelan will have a stronger hand to play with his manager once the season ends.
If they do not then Martinez may finally be persuaded away and, make no mistake, players such as McManaman, James McCarthy, McArthur and Shaun Maloney will attract potentially irresistible interest.
For Everton owner Bill Kenwright, as he searches for his next manager, Wigan's victory means he could sell Martinez as a winner to any doubters. After all, he now has one more major trophy to his name than the departing David Moyes.
As Martinez said, these are discussions for another day. For now Wigan - a quirky, unpredictable team - deserve the highest praise.
For a side to play with such freedom of expression in a Wembley FA Cup final is a credit to themselves and their manager.
Mancini must now wait to see if reports of his demise are true but there has been no denial from City, which the Italian clearly feels there should have been. This lack of a denial may be for a very good reason.
City's supporters clearly sympathise with Mancini. His name rang out constantly at Wembley, along with the odd unflattering reference to Pellegrini.
It is a sign of the demands City now make that he faces such questioning two years after winning the FA Cup to secure their first major trophy in 35 years and only 12 months after winning their first Premier League title in 44 years.
Mancini cannot, however, complain too loudly about football's ruthless nature. After all, he was waiting in the wings to take over from Mark Hughes on the night he was sacked in December 2009.
All will be revealed but the mood music around Wembley struck a sombre note for Mancini - and Manchester City's players did not make an eloquent case in support of their manager.
Wigan's heroes mirrored the approach of manager Martinez. "Sin Miedo" from first whistle to last.
West Granton Community Store was robbed on 2 December 2016.
Craig Vallance, 24, from Edinburgh, was found guilty and sentenced to 54 months in prison. Daryl Loftus, 24, from Edinburgh, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 47 months.
Darren Harvey, 23, from Edinburgh, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 35 months.
They were sentenced at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
Det Sgt Robert Wallace, of Police Scotland, said: "Vallance, Loftus and Harvey showed absolutely no regard for the welfare of the staff members during this robbery.
"I would like to thank all the witnesses that were involved in bringing these men to justice.
"We treat all crimes of this nature with the utmost seriousness and are committed to using all resources at our disposal to investigate and bring perpetrators before the courts."
The Mexican, 24, joins Franco-Swiss Romain Grosjean in the team, which is based in Kannapolis, North Carolina and will make their debut in 2016.
Gutierrez was named at a Haas event in Mexico City on Friday evening.
The announcement, considered F1's worst-kept secret, was streamed on the websites of Gutierrez's long-term sponsors.
Talking about the sort of driver Haas were after, team principal Gunther Steiner said earlier this month: "Someone who has driven an F1 car, of the current generation, money is always important, because it costs a lot of money, and North America is a nice place for a driver to come from."
Gutierrez has been Ferrari reserve driver since losing his seat at the Swiss Sauber team at the end of last season.
Haas have strong links with Ferrari. They are using Ferrari engines, will buy as many parts for their car from the Italian team as possible and their 2016 challenger has been designed in Ferrari's windtunnel.
Gutierrez raced for Sauber for two seasons in 2013 and 2014, scoring a best result of seventh place.
He comes with significant financial backing from Mexico.
Born in Mancot in Flintshire, Speed began his career as a schoolboy with Leeds United and made his first-team debut at 19.
Speed established himself there during a revival in the Elland Road side's fortunes under Howard Wilkinson.
He won a Second Division title medal in 1990 as Leeds secured a return to English football's top flight.
Speed's blossoming career at Leeds was quickly recognised by Wales.
Manager Terry Yorath handed him his first cap against Costa Rica in a friendly at Cardiff's Ninian Park in May 1990 - only a day after Speed had played for the under-21 side against Poland.
During the 1991-1992 season Speed played a key role in Leeds United's First Division title win and featured in a midfield alongside Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister and David Batty.
Making over 300 appearances and scoring 57 goals for Leeds, he left the club during the summer of 1996.
A boyhood Everton fan who delivered newspapers to the home of former Toffees captain Kevin Ratcliffe, Speed moved to Goodison Park for £3.5m.
But his spell at Everton, where he was club captain, was a short one.
Everton were struggling in the Premier League and Speed moved to Newcastle United in February 1998 for £5.5m and within a few months he was part of the Newcastle side at Wembley for the FA Cup Final - only to lose to league champions Arsenal.
They returned to Wembley the following year, but Speed and Newcastle's FA Cup dreams were again dashed, this time by treble-chasing Manchester United.
On the international stage, Speed was by now a valued member of the Welsh side and played a pivotal role in their revival under Mark Hughes.
Hughes appointed Speed as his captain, and he skippered the side to a famous victory over Italy at a packed Millennium Stadium in a Euro 2004 qualifier in October 2002.
Wales reached the Euro 2004 play-offs but would ultimately lose to Russia and Speed, like so many Welshmen before him, was denied the chance to appear in a major championship.
In October 2004, in Hughes' final game in charge against Poland, Speed decided to retire from international duty.
Speed left the Millennium Stadium pitch to a standing ovation - recognition of his 14-year international career.
He scored seven goals in 85 appearances, and remains Wales' most-capped outfield player and second only to Neville Southall as most-capped Welshman.
Having played in the Champions League and with over 200 Premier League appearances for Newcastle, he left the club for Bolton Wanderers in July 2004.
He was briefly player-coach at Bolton before he joined Sheffield United in January 2008, making his debut against Wolves on New Year's Day.
Speed had managed to avoid major injuries throughout his career but a back injury curtailed his playing days at Sheffield United.
He began to concentrate on coaching as part of Kevin Blackwell's team at Bramall Lane.
When Blackwell was sacked in August 2010, the Blades turned to Speed, who signed a three-year-contract.
Speed had often been seen as a potential national manager and was linked to the Wales job when John Toshack left in September 2010.
United allowed Speed to speak to the Football Association of Wales about the vacant role of team manager, and he was appointed in December 2010.
He took charge of Wales for the first time against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin in February 2011, a game which ended in a 3-0 defeat.
Wales would lose their following two games - against England and Scotland - before Speed enjoyed his first victory as manager - a 2-0 win over Northern Ireland.
Following a difficult start, Wales began to show promise during the end of 2011, and Speed's first competitive win came against Montenegro in a Euro 2012 qualifier in Cardiff.
The national side lost narrowly 1-0 to England and Wembley before securing victories over Switzerland and Bulgaria to complete a disappointing qualifying campaign on a high.
Those results saw Wales rise 45 places to 45th in Fifa's rankings and their international year ended with a 4-1 friendly win over Norway.
With the emergence of Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale, Wales' future began to look bright under Speed's leadership, following years of underachievement.
Speed was planning for the start of 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign and attended a fixtures meeting in Brussels last week.
Football fans will share in the loss of a man who, having achieved so much as a player, was on the verge of more promise yet for his nation.
Currently scientists use the Turing test - named after computer scientist Alan Turing - which evaluates whether an AI can convince a judge that it is human in a conversation.
Prof Mark Riedl, from the Georgia Institute of Technology, is proposing a new test.
It would ask a machine to create a convincing poem, story or painting.
Dubbed Lovelace 2.0 it is an iteration of a previous Lovelace Test, proposed in 2001.
Named after one of the first computer programmers, the original test required an AI to create something that it would be incapable of explaining how it was created.
Lovelace 2.0 develops that idea.
"For the test, the artificial agent passes if it develops a creative artefact from a subset of artistic genres deemed to require human-level intelligence and the artefact meets certain creative constraints given by a human evaluator," explained Prof Riedl.
The artefact could be painting, poetry, architectural design or a fictional story.
"Creativity is not unique to human intelligence, but it is one of the hallmarks of human intelligence," said Prof Riedl.
Algorithms have already created stories and paintings although according to Prof Riedl "no existing story generation system can pass the Lovelace 2.0 test".
Experts had mixed feelings about how good such a test would be.
Prof Alan Woodward, a computer expert from the University of Surrey thinks it could help make a key distinction.
"I think this new test shows that we all now recognise that humans are more than just very advanced machines, and that creativity is one of those features that separates us from computers - for now."
But David Wood, chairman of the London Futurists, is not convinced.
"It's a popular view that humans differ fundamentally from AIs because humans possess creativity whereas AIs only follow paths of strict rationality," he said.
"This is a comforting view, but I think it's wrong. There are already robots that manifest rudimentary emotional intelligence and computers can already write inspiring music."
The 65-year-old Turing test is successfully passed if a computer is mistaken for a human more than 30% of the time during a series of five-minute keyboard conversations.
Back in June a computer program called Eugene Goostman, which simulates a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy, was said to have passed the Turing test although some experts disputed the claims.
The world number one beat her fellow American 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 to triumph in Rome for the fourth time since 2002.
Williams, 34, last won a title in Cincinnati in August, and has since lost finals at the US Open, Australian Open and Indian Wells.
She will begin the defence of her French Open title when the tournament gets under way next Sunday.
"I have tried to defend there once, twice, three times before," Williams said of the Paris Grand Slam.
"It didn't quite work so well. But this year is different. I'm going to definitely go in there and I feel more calm and I don't feel stress to have to win.
"I feel like I just am happy to be out here."
Williams showed the value of experience as she claimed her 70th career title in her 89th final - with Keys playing only her second.
Keys, 21, broke serve in the opening game and matched Williams for power throughout, but a loose service game allowed the top seed to level at 3-3.
Williams edged the tie-break, sealing it with a heavy serve, and raced into a 3-0 lead in the second.
Two poor games followed, suggesting the 21-time Grand Slam champion is still some way from her best, but she saw out the set and the match after one hour and 24 minutes.
"It feels great," Williams said of finally winning her 70th career title.
"I have played, let's see, US Open, Australian, Miami, Indian Wells. So it's only four tournaments. So it's not like I was playing every week.
"So that's kind of how I look at it. But it feels great to win a title, especially on clay."
It has been alleged her pregnancy was the result of rape and that she first requested an abortion at eight weeks.
Health staff have been accused of refusing to end her pregnancy until the baby was viable and could be delivered by caesarean section.
Under a new law, abortion is permitted when a woman is at risk of suicide.
Very few details of her case have been released, as there is a court order in place to protect her identity and that of the child.
It is understood the young woman is a foreign national whose immigration status in Ireland meant she could not travel freely out of the state to have a termination abroad.
Under the new legislation, she was assessed by a panel of three medical experts, including two psychiatrists and an obstetrician, who decided she was at risk of suicide.
However, the panel decided not to permit an abortion in her case.
The woman, who is understood to be very vulnerable, went on hunger strike.
The Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) took the case to the High Court in Dublin, seeking an order to hydrate the woman, which was granted.
Lawyers acting for the woman argued that her request for a legal abortion, on the grounds of credible suicide, was not granted in a timely fashion.
The baby was delivered prematurely at about 25 weeks into her pregnancy and the child will now be taken into the care of the state.
The case, which has caused widespread concern among both pro-choice and anti-abortion groups, is the first high-profile test of the state's new abortion legislation.
The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act came into force on 1 January this year.
The legislation was introduced to clarify the rules for health staff, following the case of Savita Halappanavar, who died from infection after she was refused an abortion during a miscarriage in 2012.
The Irish Health Service Executive (HSE) has refused to comment.
After all, this has been a summer unlike any I have known before. There has been a lot of angst, division and anger towards the England team.
The England and Wales Cricket Board handled the sacking of Kevin Pietersen and the fall-out from the Ashes tour so badly that a lot of genuinely-devoted England supporters felt they did not quite belong.
For the first time since the Allen Stanford affair, I came across fans who actually wanted the team to fail.
In that context, when England started the summer by losing the series to Sri Lanka and going 1-0 down to India at Lord's, the team found themselves at crisis point.
Would the meltdown continue and cost the captain his job, or could they stage a revival and justify all the upheaval?
As we all now know they did the latter, and that has to be a good thing for English cricket.
For Cook to go from the terrible troughs of Headingley and Lord's to lifting the Pataudi Trophy whilst being sprayed with champagne at a sunlit Oval represents a huge personal triumph.
I saw how low Cook was. I interviewed him twice a week and it was becoming really awkward to have to ask him the same questions about his form, the captaincy and his future.
If he had not been dropped by Ravindra Jadeja at Southampton, and if Pietersen had been playing Championship cricket and knocking out hundreds, who knows what might have happened?
Media playback is not supported on this device
But by the end of the series it really seemed as though England were a team again. They looked like 11 players who had gone through a lot but were revelling in coming out the other side.
Let's just hope that it really is the end of a divisive summer and that everyone can now get behind the team and accept that England have moved on in a new direction.
While young players like Joe Root, Gary Ballance, Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler all performed consistently well, the key to England's transformation was the senior players finally discovering their touch.
Cook was the one taking all the flak but he was being badly let down by some of his most trusted men. It was the bowlers who got it wrong at Headingley to let Sri Lanka off the hook, and the bowlers who wasted such a golden opportunity to skittle India out on a green-top on the first day at Lord's.
Once they remembered how to bowl on pitches that were always helpful to their skills, they simply blew India away.
People will point to India's pitiful efforts with the bat in the final two Tests, but that should not detract from England's achievement.
They were the ones who put India in that position and once you have a team on the ground you have to be ruthless.
The problem for the tourists was firstly that they allowed themselves to become totally distracted by the Anderson-Jadeja furore and secondly that they simply didn't have any time for players to regroup and find form between the Tests.
When you squeeze in five matches so close together, you are going to get cataclysmic results because there is no way back for a team that is on the slide.
That is something that the game's administrators will have to look at because one-sided Test matches that are over in less than three days is no good for anybody, least of all the paying public.
People will rightly be toasting England and pulling out the bunting but let's learn from this and devise a schedule that allows both teams to be mentally and physically ready for every game.
Jonathan Agnew was speaking to BBC Sport's Sam Sheringham.
Listen to Jonathan and Geoffrey Boycott review each day's play on the TMS podcast.
It claims it reinforces "privilege and disadvantage".
The report - Investigating Links in Achievement and Deprivation (Iliad) - was commissioned by the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister.
It has been delivered, but not yet published.
However, a draft copy has been seen by the BBC.
The study looked at why pupils in some areas of high deprivation outperform their peers in other deprived areas.
The three-year study was conducted by 10 experts from Queen's University and Stranmillis University College in Belfast.
Among its recommendations is "the ending of the current system of academic selection" as a key way to reverse educational disadvantage.
The report also said the current system is "high on excellence and low on equity" and that "access to the best education is too often determined by socio-economic status".
"The current system significantly favours those with positive family norms around education, for example, academically successful parents, and the financial capacity to afford, for example, private tutors," the report said.
However, it also warns: "Given the in-built and distinct advantage of a grammar school education and the significant political and lobbying influence of the grammar sector, opposition to radical change is expected."
The Iliad study began in 2012 and is one of the most detailed of its kind ever carried out in the UK.
It examines why children in highly deprived "Catholic" areas often substantially outperform their counterparts in highly deprived "Protestant" areas.
It studied seven deprived areas in depth: three predominantly Catholic, three predominantly Protestant and one mixed area.
It suggests that in "Catholic" wards, there are a number of factors which help children do better in education. These include:
"In several predominantly Catholic neighbourhoods, there are well-established, collaborative learning communities," the report said, "with Catholic maintained schools at the hub".
These factors meant that children in "Catholic" wards generally placed more value on education, had higher aspirations and self-esteem - and achieved better results - than their "Protestant" counterparts.
For instance, the "Catholic" Whiterock ward in west Belfast is the most deprived area in Northern Ireland, yet in 2012/13, 60% of pupils there achieved five GCSE passes at grades A*-C.
By contrast, the predominantly "Protestant" Tullycarnet ward in east Belfast is the 109th most deprived, yet only 43% of pupils achieved five GCSEs at grades A*-C in the same year.
The report also found a "Derry effect" whereby pupils in deprived "Catholic" wards in Londonderry were encouraged to value education highly, leading to better results.
The Rosemount ward in the city is the 44th most deprived in Northern Ireland, yet 91% of pupils there got five GCSEs at A*-C in 2012/13.
The report found that while there have been some rises, gaps in achievement between the wards have changed little in almost two decades.
The report also highlights "dissatisfaction with political leadership" as most pronounced in the "Protestant" wards.
It also warns of the "corrosive impact" of continuing paramilitary and criminal influence in disadvantaged communities, saying this creates "negative role models and many young people routinely witness individuals 'succeeding' outside the regular channels of education".
The report also includes a wide range of suggested reforms of the education system in Northern Ireland to attempt to reverse disadvantage.
The report was sent to OFMDFM earlier this year, but as yet, they are unable to say when the final version will be published.
Former Progressive Unionist Party MLA, Dawn Purvis, who was involved in a previous report on underachievement among disadvantaged Protestant boys, said people had to look "at the structural difference within the Protestant community and the tendency towards elitism within the grammar sector".
"We have to abolish academic selection, it doesn't work for Protestant working class children," she added.
However, DUP MLA, Peter Weir, who is chair of the Education Committee at Stormont said he did not believe there was a direct link between academic selection and underachievement among certain Protestant sectors.
"If you abolish academic selection what you will do is you will reinforce the power of money within education and you will widen those divisions," he said.
Lindsay Rimer, 13, was last seen at a shop in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, on 7 November, 1994.
Her body was found in the Rochdale Canal a mile from the town centre in April 1995.
A 63-year-old man from Bradford was arrested on Tuesday. Detectives had been given a 24-hour extension to question him.
Two canal workers found the teenager's body, which was weighted down with a stone.
Andy Glover, from Mytholmroyd, was checking for debris when he spotted something in the water.
He said: "We thought that it was a sheep. As we pulled it towards us, the body rolled in the water.
"There was no mistaking who it was, we saw the strands of hair on her face and knew we had found Lindsay Rimer."
Ms Rimer left her home in Cambridge Street at about 22:00 GMT and met her mother at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge.
The last known sighting of her was caught on CCTV 20 minutes later as she bought cornflakes on Crown Street.
In April, police said a new DNA profile had been identified which it hoped would lead them to identify the killer.
The gap between men and women's pay for full-time workers was 9.4% in April 2015, compared with 9.6% in 2014.
While that was the narrowest difference since the figures were first published in 1997, there has been little change overall.
Since then the pay gap has remained at around £100 a week, the ONS said.
According to its Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), men working full-time earn an average of £567 a week, while women earn £471.
The TUC said that, at the current rate, it could be 50 years before men and women have pay parity.
"Progress on closing the full-time gender pay gap has slowed dramatically over the last few years," said TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady.
"If it continues to fall at this pace, we're looking at nearly half a century before we have pay parity between women and men."
However, among part-time workers, women earn more than men.
In fact this "negative" pay gap widened in April 2015 to 6.5%, from 5.5% in 2014.
The pay gap also varies by occupation.
Men working in skilled trades have the largest pay premium, at 24.6%. However the gap in sales jobs is the lowest, at 4.3%. See chart below.
New legislation going before parliament will soon require companies to publish details of male and female pay.
Firms that employ more than 250 people in England, Scotland and Wales will be obliged to show average wage rates for both sexes.
The government hopes the measure will reduce the pay gap.
The ONS figures also show that average weekly pay for full-time employees was £528 in April 2015, up by 1.8% from the previous year.
After inflation is taken into account, earnings were up by 1.9%, the first real terms increase since 2008.
That was helped by the fact that the Consumer Prices Index fell by 0.1% in the year to April, while wages rose.
On an annual basis, the median amount that full-time workers earned before tax was £27,600.

The Resolution Foundation, a think tank that aims to improve living standards, said pay growth had been stronger for lower paid workers, and weaker for those paid higher wages.
It welcomed the return of real terms earning growth, but it said that wages were still 8.9% below their peak in 2008, after taking inflation into account.
It said it will take another six years for pay to return to that level.
And it pointed out that while pay has rebounded strongly in Northern Ireland and the West Midlands, real pay has fallen in London, the East Midlands and Wales.
Patients and staff at Furness General Hospital have had diarrhoea and vomiting.
Surgical and medical wards four, six and nine have been closed to admissions and transfers.
Visitors to affected wards are being advised not to visit with young children or if they have had symptoms within the previous 48 hours.

An international team of scientists gave the drug to patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia, alongside standard treatment.
Those who received the combination therapy were more likely to be free of the disease for longer.
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a rare blood cancer.
About 600 people are diagnosed with the condition each year in the UK.
Though a number of successful treatments exist, they do not help every patient and some become resistant to conventional therapy.
In this study, scientists gave a combination of the anti-diabetic drug pioglitazone and standard treatment to 24 patients whose CML remained active despite receiving conventional drugs.
After 12 months, more than 50% of the patients given the combination treatment were in remission.
And the first three patients to be given the drug had no reoccurrences of cancer in the five years that followed.
Scientists hope this combination therapy approach may prove helpful for other similar cancers.
Patients with untreated CML make excessive numbers of abnormal white blood cells.
Over time, these can crowd out the normal white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets a person has, making it harder for patients to mount a defence against infections and causing some people to bleed more easily.
The current standard treatment includes therapies such as imatinib.
Prof Peter Johnson, Cancer Research UK's chief clinician, said: "The outlook for people with chronic myeloid leukaemia has improved dramatically since the introduction of drugs like imatinib.
"But for some patients these drugs aren't always effective. This study is an interesting example of how understanding the biology of cancer stem cells could help improve treatment for these patients.
"However, this is early stage research and only a small number of patients have been studied. It will be interesting to see if this combination is also successful in larger clinical trials."
Other experts add that the side-effects of pioglitazone would also have to be taken into account if this treatment were to be offered in routine care. | A drug used to treat diabetes could help in the fight against blood cancer, early research in the journal Nature suggests. | 34,127,096 | 436 | 24 | false |
CES kicks off next week - a sprawling consumer technology showcase that seems to extend to more Las Vegas venues every year.
From Samsung to one-person start-ups, thousands of companies will demo new products, while, behind-the-scenes, deals will be struck to make further generations of gadgets possible.
"Every CES is fresh and different, and we try to see what the future will bring," the event's organiser Gary Shapiro says.
"What I've learned is that sometimes the companies themselves don't even know if they're going to get their product finished in time."
CES 2016: Vegas tech show preview
VHS recorders, HD TVs, the Xbox games console and Blu-ray discs all made their debut at past shows.
But one expert suggests the tech giants may temper their ambitions this time round.
"Say goodbye to cool, say hello to practical," explains John Curran from the consultancy Accenture.
"Many of the larger companies now put less emphasis on CES as a launch pad for major hardware. So, they will focus instead on showing off new services to help garner excitement for existing products.
"But for the smaller businesses this is as big a venue as they are going to be able to find and is an excellent opportunity to catch the eye of journalists and key buyers from the retailers."
New TV tech always makes a stir at CES, even if some of the innovations are not always practical.
In recent years, Samsung and LG have slugged it out to boast the biggest sets, but this year it may be about having the bendiest.
LG made headlines in May when it showed off an ultra-thin prototype that could be peeled off the wall - it will be fascinating to see how much further the two South Korean firms have developed the concept.
As far as screens you might actually want to buy soon, expect the focus on be on "HDR".
The acronym refers to high dynamic range, and basically means that TVs can show millions more shades of colour and a wider dynamic range - added shades of brightness in between black and white - letting more detail be shown.
Amazon actually started streaming some of its shows in HDR this year, but competing standards meant the TV-makers hadn't put their marketing muscle behind the format.
That's likely to change at CES when a coalition of the leading players reveal a new specification. It will let them badge TVs to show they will support future HDR-coded content.
That should prevent an embarrassing repeat of the fact that many of the early 4K sets ended up being incompatible with the way ultra high definition video is now streamed.
Netflix had previously said it was waiting until this moment to start supporting HDR - expect its chief executive Reed Hastings to reveal more at his keynote CES speech.
And while it's likely to be many years before the mainstream broadcasters adopt HDR, several of the movie studios have said they will offer it on 4K Blu-ray discs - the first players are also expected to be unveiled at CES.
A big will-they won't-they question mark hangs over GoPro's CES plans.
The action camera-maker has promised to launch a drone called Karma in 2016.
Rumours suggest it could deliver 360-degree views and incorporate collision-avoidance tech
The firm's chief executive Nicholas Woodman is speaking at a dinner event, but it's still unclear if he'll offer a first peek at the aircraft.
Even if GoPro holds fire, there are dozens of other firms set to show off flying tech, including:
Britain's Intelligent Energy will also be showing off a hydrogen fuel cell, which it says lets drones stay airborne for hours, rather than minutes, at a time.
Chip-makers Intel and Qualcomm will try to explain why adopting their rival drone technologies could give manufacturers an edge.
And the Federal Aviation Administration has a booth and will likely provide an update on its new register for US-based drone owners.
Following years of hype, 2016 looks to be the year that virtual reality becomes - well, reality.
HTC is inviting select journalists to take a look at its revamped Vive VR headset on Monday.
The headset - created in conjunction with video games firm Valve - was supposed to have gone on sale by now.
However, the Taiwanese firm delayed the launch to add what it says is a "very big technological breakthrough".
Is it eye-tracking sensors, a way to get rid of its external wiring or something else? We'll soon know.
Sony is set to follow with its own press conference on Tuesday when we should get more details of the PlayStation VR - the add-on headset for its bestselling console.
But one company watcher thinks the Japanese firm will miss a trick if it doesn't make another VR-centric announcement.
"Sony should come out with an accessory to convert its Z5 Premium smartphone into a VR solution," says Ben Wood from consultants CCS Insight.
"Its 4K screen is a solution looking for a problem - its high resolution really would lend itself to the experience."
Oculus has already carried out a similar trick for Samsung's phones, but its focus this time will be on the Rift.
The Facebook-owned business recently confirmed the PC-powered VR headset is "on-target" for a Q1 launch.
With pre-orders about to begin, surely it's time to find out how much it will cost.
There should also be news about "affordable" 360-degree cameras - if VR is going to take off beyond gaming, people need an easy way to record their own videos.
In addition, keep an ear out for new audio-recording equipment capable of matching sounds to a VR user's point-of-view - France's Arkamys has already teased one solution that will be on show.
The Consumer Technology Association is talking up this category, noting there's 71% more space dedicated to robots than in 2015.
Few think robots are ready to go mainstream just yet, but there's still several companies worth keeping an eye on.
The US start-up Jibo is creating a lot of buzz after its "social robot" raised over $3.7m (£2.5m) on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo. The project's chief, Cynthia Breazeal, will be popping into town to provide an update.
There are a couple of new droids from France - the Buddy companion bot (which you can see at the top of this article) and Leka, a machine designed to stimulate children with autism and other developmental disorders.
And from Japan, Flower Robotics promises to bring "beauty" to the field by showing off robots designed to be as aesthetically pleasing as they are useful.
You might appreciate its efforts in the future, when squadrons of the automatons are zipping about.
As we career towards roads full of self-driving, electric-powered vehicles, the automakers are embracing CES as a chance to reveal their latest innovations.
Ten of the big-name car manufacturers are exhibiting this year, but much of the pre-show buzz is being generated by a Chinese firm looking to disrupt the sector.
Faraday Future has promised to unveil a "concept" that will help "define the future of mobility".
The company has already lured several executives away from Tesla, announced plans to build a state-of-the-art factory near Las Vegas, and received backing from China's tech billionaire Jia Yueting. We'll learn more at its event on Monday.
Volkswagen will hope to steer back attention the next day - and repair its battered reputation - when its chief executive takes to the stage.
The firm has said it will have a new concept vehicle to show off - rumours suggest it will be an electric Microbus capable of driving up to 500km (310 miles) on a single charge.
Ford's boss, Mark Fields, is also in attendance. It's been reported that he's working on a tie-up with Google to create a new self-driving car business.
But it's not clear whether this will feature in his CES presentation or be kept back for the Detroit Auto Show later in the month.
BMW, however, has already confirmed it will be demonstrating Air Touch - a control mechanism for its in-car maps and entertainment systems that 3D-scans hand gestures to let drivers avoid having to fumble for buttons.
And Toyota is promising to show off a new "high-precision" road imaging system that will let self-driving cars share what they've seen to keep their maps up to date.
The technology may do away with the need to send out special vehicles equipped with expensive laser scanners to get the data.
"There'll also be more than 100 smaller auto tech companies," adds Accenture's John Curran.
"This year's focus will be a little bit less on infotainment and more on security and safety - so, we should see new collision avoidance technologies, anti-car jacking tech and ways for cars to communicate with each other."
Despite smartwatches gaining ground in 2015, Fitbit and its fitness trackers remain wearable tech's bestselling brand.
The firm has an early-morning press conference on Tuesday, suggesting it has something major to reveal.
"We could see a revision of Fitbit devices and software to better track stress via heart rate variability and skin temperature, along with software that offers coaching for better sleep and stress management," predicts Charles Anderson from the investment bank Dougherty & Company.
"We also expect to see Fitbit in more pacts with fashion brands."
The firm's activity-logging rival Misfit is also at CES. The business was recently taken over by the watch giant Fossil, and we may see the first fruits of their tie-up.
Chinese tech giant Huawei is tipped to unveil a smartwatch targeted at women and smaller start-ups are also expected to unveil female-friendly wrist-wear.
"There's been a very male bias to wearable tech but you're going to see what I call the jewellification of this stuff," predicts CCS Insight's Ben Wood.
"There's a big gap in the market - wearables for women will be a big theme."
Of course, another theme will be wearables that don't call attention to themselves, at least not until needed.
For instance, the French firm Atol will be showing normal looking glasses that tell a smartphone app where they are when lost.
In&motion has what it says is the world's first "smart airbag" for skiers - a vest that inflates in less than a tenth of a second upon impact.
And Digitsole has new shoes that tie up their own laces - something we've been waiting for ever since Back to the Future II.
Wearable tech for pets is also set to become more subtle.
PitPat, for instance, has a fairly unobtrusive activity tracker for dogs - a far cry from some of the more clunky animal-centric efforts seen at past CES shows.
Cosmetics companies are starting to embrace consumer electronics.
L'Oreal is back for a second year with a new mystery product following the success of its Makeup Genius app in 2015.
Another French firm, Romy, is in town with a device that custom-mixes skincare ingredients to suit each user at different times of the day.
And the UK's Amirose is pitching in to offer special cucumber-enhanced eye pads said to be specially formulated to soothe "computer eyes".
There should also be a plethora of products that promise to aid longer-term benefits.
For instance, Ceracor will debut a sensor that measures the level of haemoglobin in the blood, which it says athletes can use to boost their endurance.
And Skulpt is showing off Chisel, a device that it says can be used to measure body fat and muscle quality.
As ever with health tech, some of the claims will need to be put under scrutiny.
Canada's Medical Wearable Solutions, for example, will have to justify its boast that its EyeForcer glasses are the solution to "the epidemic of Gameboy disease".
Also look out for an explosion in the number of products targeted at new parents, including a sensor that measures contractions, telling mothers when to go to hospital, and a smart changing pad that tracks the growth of newborns.
Four million UK households already contain some sort of smart home system, according to a recent report by Strategy Analytics.
Nest and Philips paved the way, expect a fresh flood of internet-connected thermostats, lights, fire alarms and plug sockets at the show - as well as new ways to control them.
Samsung has said it intends to make its next range of Smart TVs double as command-and-control "smart hubs", while LG has pre-announced the SmartThinQ Hub - a cylindrical device that does much the same thing.
If at this point you are trying to stifle a yawn, hold on - there are a few products in this category that intrigue.
The man who developed the original iMovie for Apple has turned his attention to laundry and will unveil a washing/drying machine called Marathon at Monday's CES Unveiled preview.
The device can be set to keep clothes locked inside until their rightful owner returns - although how many flatshares will be able to afford its $1,200 (£810) price is another matter.
Invoxia will be showing off Triby - a connected-kitchen product powered by Amazon's voice-activated assistant Alexa.
And there will also be other new kit to enhance the home including a showerhead that tracks how much water it has used, a module that lets you control gas fireplaces from your phone and a sofa that vibrates in time with shows on TV.
It's been said that it's a heck of a lot easier to get an overview of CES from outside Vegas rather than trying to tramp around its epic-sized show floors.
We'll certainly try to highlight the key announcements as well as some of the more weird and quirky reveals.
You can follow the news via our special CES index and we'll also post highlights to our Facebook page.
In addition, we'll have a special edition of Tech Tent on the BBC World Service on Friday, and you can track the BBC's tech team on the ground at the following Twitter accounts:

Piutau had routine ankle surgery on Tuesday and is expected to return to training within eight weeks.
The New Zealander will miss Ulster's game against the Barbarians on 1 June and will not turn out for the Baa-Baas three days earlier against England.
Olding underwent an ankle operation and Herbst had surgery on a knee problem.
Centre Olding had been carried off injured during the second half of Ulster's defeat by the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium on 29 April. | Ulster players Charles Piutau, Stuart Olding and Wiehahn Herbst are set to be fit for the start of next season after undergoing successful surgery. | 39,947,456 | 111 | 36 | false |
A 1-0 victory over Uzbekistan on Thursday had given them a chance of at least advancing to a play-off stage.
That match was played in Malaysia, where Syria's home games are being held because of the ongoing civil war in the Middle Eastern country.
But the 1-0 loss in Seoul on Tuesday leaves them four points adrift of the third-place finish they need.
Uzbekistan widened their lead over fourth-placed Syria with a 1-0 victory over Qatar, who remain bottom in Group A of Asian qualifying with three matches to play.
South Korea's win, secured through a fourth-minute goal from Hong Jeong-ho, ensures they keep the pressure on group leaders Iran, who beat China 1-0 to go four points clear.
The top two teams in the group qualify for next summer's World Cup in Russia. The third-placed team would have to win two play-off ties to advance.
Ms Machado, who is a former congresswoman, said she was given 15 days to appeal against the decision.
It was not clear on what grounds she was barred but the move could prevent her from standing again for congress in December's parliamentary election.
Ms Machado led a major street protest against the government in early 2014.
Government opponents have accused President Nicolas Maduro of bullying the opposition ahead of the elections.
Another leading opposition figure, Daniel Ceballos, a former mayor who is also running for parliament, was also banned from holding public office.
Venezuelan media said he was disqualified for not presenting a sworn wealth declaration.
Ms Machado was stripped of her seat in the National Assembly last year after accepting an invitation from Panama to speak before the Organisation of American States (OAS) to give her account of the wave of unrest which spread through Venezuela in early 2014.
The state prosecutor's office then charged her of taking part in an alleged plot to kill President Maduro.
Sinn Fein's northern leader told Inside Politics: "Any right minded person shouldn't put themselves forward for a position in an Executive which is obviously subject to an investigation.
"Arlene Foster was the architect of the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme."
The flawed scheme may cost NI taxpayers as much as £490m.
The Renewable Heat Incentive scheme was set up in 2012, intended to increase the creation of heat from renewable sources.
However, businesses have been receiving more in subsidies than they are paying for renewable fuel and the scheme became highly oversubscribed.
"The DUP signed sealed and delivered the RHI scheme, so clearly the right thing to do would be not to put themselves forward into a position in the Executive whilst an investigation is ongoing," said Mrs O'Neill.
Her predecessor Martin McGuinness resigned as Deputy First Minister last month because the DUP leader refused to stand down temporarily while an interim investigation was conducted.
According to Finance Minister Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, the judge who is chairing the public inquiry into the affair, Sir Patrick Coghlin, has indicated he believes it would "not be appropriate to issue an interim report".
There is no definite timescale for Judge Coghlin's inquiry, but the Minister told the Assembly he thought the inquiry might take about six months.
Mrs O'Neill was pressed on whether her position meant Sinn Fein would refuse to share power with the DUP if it puts Arlene Foster forward for the First Minister's job while Judge Coghlin's inquiry is still in progress.
Sinn Fein's northern leader said this would have to be discussed in any negotiations after the election.
Mrs O'Neill defended herself against criticism that the Stormont agriculture department ran more than 50 seminars advertising the benefits of the RHI scheme when she was agriculture minister.
She insisted she had "no hand in the design or the administration of the RHI scheme" and promoted it "in good faith" at a stage when no concerns had been raised.
She claimed the focus on the seminars was part of DUP "antics" trying to deflect attention from their responsibility for the scheme.
Questioned about Martin McGuinness and Arlene Foster's joint invitation to the US President Donald Trump to visit Northern Ireland, Mrs O'Neill said she didn't think the public would want to see such a visit, due to his "appalling policy decisions".
She described the invitation signed by Mr McGuinness as "a routine bit of business that any Executive would do".
Sinn Fein's northern leader confirmed she would not go to President Trump's White House St Patrick's Day reception, because her priority would be on the negotiations at home.
Asked if that applied to all her party's representatives, Mrs O'Neill said: "There is no invitation to any Sinn Fein representative at this moment in time".
Joan McVittie transformed two schools in deprived areas of London.
Sally Coates has overseen huge improvements at Burlington Danes Academy in west London.
Three fostering couples who have cared for more than 620 children between them are also recognised with MBEs.
Dame Joan, now 60, said she was "absolutely thrilled" to be singled out for her work in education and only wished her parents had been around to see her receive the honour.
She says the secret of her success in schools has been "to get a good team" and to ensure that the people around her "grow and develop".
"It's about playing to people's strengths," she added.
She was recognised for her work in improving Leytonstone School, and then going on to transform Woodside High, in Tottenham.
She took the Tottenham school, which replaced White Hart Lane School - dubbed "the worst school in London" - from the verge of closure to an outstanding Ofsted rating in just five years.
Last year it was rated one of the top 25 most improved schools in the country for its GCSE results.
She is also rewarded for her time serving on a national body encouraging good school leadership, National College for School Leadership, and for her contribution to the Association of School and College Leaders, of which she is a past president.
Dame Sally, who has worked in teaching since she was 22, is also credited with transforming a school - this time on the deprived White City Estate in west London.
Now, 59, she took over Burlington Danes, which replaced a school in special measures, in 2008.
She said the first day she went into the school it was "pretty chaotic".
"There weren't any systems and structures, and nothing was really working," she added.
Pupils' poor behaviour and poor results was disheartening, she said, but she managed to begin the process of change by having high expectations of her pupils, and plenty of optimism and resilience.
"The thing to remember is that everyone wants things to work. The teachers want to work in a good school, the parents want the school to be good and the children want to be in a good school."
She also recently oversaw a review of the standards expected of teachers for the government and served as a member of the committee which recently reviewed the national tests children take at the end of primary school.
About 10% of the total honours go to people for their work in education. Some 31 head teachers were recognised in all.
Patricia and Bryan Bottomley have been given MBEs for their work with children and families.
The couple have fostered over 600 children of all ages and nationalities over 40 years in the area of Hull.
They have had as many as three or four children placed with them at any one time, as well as raising six children of their own.
They have also worked for many years supporting new foster parents, and the couple have provided respite care for other foster families.
Also recognised with an MBE for their work as foster carers are Jackie and John Franklin.
They have been foster carers for over 30 years and have fostered nearly 100 children under the age of six years in Bristol.
The couple have also raised three daughters and a son whom they adopted when he was three.
They were recognised by the City of Bristol in 2011 with a long service award and are recognised as having profoundly improved the lives of children looked after by the local authority.
Anthony Hiles, and his wife Muriel, have also been awarded an MBE for their work as foster carers in the West Midlands since November 1994.
The couple are currently linked with six children and have cared for over 20 disabled children to date, offering short breaks typically comprising a few nights a month, but occasionally more, perhaps to enable a family to take a holiday.
They go beyond their duties by keeping in touch with families, listening to them and offering them advice and support.
Sixteen teams at the Abertay University-hosted event will spend two weeks putting finishing touches to their computer game designs.
The finished games will feature at Dare Protoplay, Scotland's biggest independent games festival, in August.
Teams from countries including India, Brazil and the US are taking part.
James Earl Cox III is part of a team from the University of Southern California, whose game is based on the theme of compassion.
The 25-year-old said: "The idea is that you never actually get a kill in the game, but you always take control of the person that kills you.
"You play a lot of games like Call of Duty and you always think of the other team as this enemy to fight against.
"So our game is to make you see people as people."
Matthew Bousfield, 22, an Abertay University graduate, said: "It's one of the major events on the Dundee calendar and it's just a shame that quite a lot of people don't really know about it.
"Hopefully, after this year if we can put on a big enough show, everyone will know."
Dr William Huber from Abertay's school of arts, media and computer games, said Dare to be Digital was "pretty much the premier international competition" for university students pursuing a career in gaming.
He said: "A lot of the students here come from very strong games programs around the world, but they recognise this as the place to compete."
Many of the students will attend a week of workshops and talks following the festival, concentrating on bringing their games to the market and turning their teams into studios and small businesses.
Dr Huber said the event had evolved since it began in 2000.
He said: "Originally it was very much thought of in terms of developing individual talent.
"That's still the case - many students go on and get hired by top-flight studios.
"But increasingly we're seeing games come from the competition that are successful in their own right and go on to be published and the teams go on to become studios.
"We're looking at both futures for this event - a chance to nurture talent, but also a chance to create new studios."
Dare Protoplay takes place in Dundee's Caird Hall and City Square from 4 to 7 August.
I interviewed Nick 13 months ago at his home in Wimbledon in south London and it was obvious he came from a successful, wealthy family who had opted to give him a private education.
A day after Nick started counting his millions, an email dropped in my inbox about another teenaged developer.
Schoolboy Tom Humphrey has launched an app designed to help language learning by combining dictionary definitions with digital translation tools. He also happens to go to Eton College.
Meanwhile teenager Nina Dewani, who was interviewed by the BBC last month after designing a password-prompting app, attends a private school in St Albans.
It could be a coincidence, but these young people join a long line of tech entrepreneurs who attended private schools and found fame for their creations.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee went to an independent school, as did Bill Gates (although he later dropped out of Harvard to set up a software company), while child prodigy Mark Zuckerberg had a tutor who helped him start writing software.
It is from public schools such as Eton that the current prime minister and many leaders of industry have emerged so it should perhaps come as no great surprise that the entrepreneurs of the future are also learning there.
Tom thinks his winning app design was down to him as an individual rather than the famous school he goes to but he acknowledged that it played a part.
"The school didn't push me to enter the competition but once I had entered they helped me. There are brilliant facilities here," he said.
"If you show interest in something, there are people that are going to help you. The school gave me the freedom to develop the app," he added.
Mark McGinn, who organised the O2 Think Big AppSkool competition that Tom won, thinks the 17-year-old succeeded on his own merits but recognises that school can play an important role.
"There is no doubt that private schools offer the opportunity to touch success and inspire a certain mindset and a willingness to take risks," he said.
"The horizon at these schools is just bigger. If you are fortunate enough to be in a classroom where some of the parents are heads of industry you are going to be inspired," he added.
It is an issue that Dr Tony Sewell, founder of Generating Genius, is determined to tackle.
He set up the charity with the specific intention of getting children from disadvantaged backgrounds into universities to study the Stem subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
"Public schoolboys dominate sports, arts and the technology section," Dr Sewell told the BBC.
"Private schools have a culture of independent thinking, they give students a sense that they are knowledgeable and confident. In comprehensives it is the reverse - to be ignorant is to be the star," he added.
The fact that few children from disadvantaged backgrounds take up Stem subjects at university is something that needs urgent focus.
"It is something that state schools need to address. We are losing talent."
Partly the issue is a cultural one, he thinks.
While a child perceived as a "geek" at a state comprehensive may be bullied, he says, in a private school that child is more likely to be nurtured and encouraged.
"The culture of competition is at the heart of the public school as are clubs and societies," said Dr Sewell.
"At 15:30 when the bell goes in a state school, the kids are out of the door. Very few are staying behind doing innovative things," he says.
At a recent competition for schools to come up with clever uses for the Raspberry Pi - the ultra-cheap micro-controller - there was a dearth of entries from state schools.
It was something that worried the judges, including the BBC's own technology correspondent, Rory Cellan-Jones.
"One theory offered as to why was that the constraints of the curriculum meant teachers were too cautious about committing to time-consuming projects which might not contribute directly to exam results," he said.
Prof Stephen Heppell, an education expert determined to transform the curriculum, agrees.
"Schools need to get away from half-hour lesson blocks especially with computer science," he said.
"No sooner have you got started than it is time to stop. To write a good program you need a good block of time, half a day at least."
He is convinced there is no shortage of talent in the state sector and, if most of the app developers making the headlines at the moment come from fee-paying schools, it might just be down to their parents.
"They may have the money to spend on getting the app to market or getting marketing for it," he said.
The nature of entrepreneurship is such that someone with a good idea and enough determination can become successful whatever their background.
And with tools such as the Raspberry Pi available to all, technology is certainly not the preserve of schools such as Eton.
Programming too has become easier, meaning the teenage app developer is here to stay, says Prof Heppell.
"What is scarce now isn't so much programming skills but good ideas and kids are awash with good ideas."
And he says some of the best are likely to come from children at state schools: "They have better ideas because they have a better sense of what the world needs."
About 80 firefighters are dealing with the fire in Transport Avenue in Brentford.
It started at 12:08 GMT.
BBC London Travel reports there are delays on the M4 eastbound from Heston Services to junction 2 at Brentford. The smoke can be seen from Heathrow Airport about six miles (10km) away.
Fire crews are also dealing with a large at an industrial unit in north London.
About 70 firefighters are tackling the fire in Bernard Road, Tottenham, near Seven Sisters Overground Station.
They were called at about 10:00 GMT to a fire in a range of single storey units, the largest of which measures 30m (90ft) by 10m (32ft).
London Fire Brigade said it did not know the cause of the fire but half of the ground floor and roof had been badly damaged.
Bertie, from Adventure Valley in County Durham, covered 18ft (5.48m) in 19.59 seconds - smashing the previous best of 43.7 seconds, which stood since 1977.
He clocked his time in July last year, but the achievement has now been confirmed and appears in the new edition of the Guinness Book of Records.
Bertie, who raced to his record on a diet of strawberries, is thought to be about 10 years old.
Leopard tortoises typically live to between 80 and 100 years old.
After becoming a record-breaker, Bertie and his girlfriend Shelly now live in a larger enclosure.
The previous best was set at the National Tortoise Championship at Tickhill, South Yorkshire, on 2 July 1977.
BBC Sport Scotland commentator Liam McLeod and former Scotland striker Steven Thompson assess what areas each top flight club will be looking to strengthen.
Derek McInnes bolstered his squad in the summer and may be limited in what he can do in this window. However, only three of his summer signings have been first team regulars - goalkeeper Joe Lewis, defender Anthony O'Connor and James Maddison, who is due to return to Norwich with his loan spell now over, though McInnes says will be staying until the end of the season.
However, a strong, ball-winning midfielder is likely to be at the top of his shopping list and it would be no surprise if Caley Thistle's Greg Tansey is once again targeted, 12 months on from a failed bid for the Scouser.
The Dons could also do with competition for Shay Logan at right-back, with captain Ryan Jack the current deputy for that position. Jack and Niall McGinn are two that McInnes will want to keep beyond this season, though that is far from certain.
How do you improve the team that is infinitely better than the rest? Well Brendan Rodgers will use the winter window to prepare for next summer's tilt at Champions League qualifying.
Despite some promising performances in the competition this season, it was clear that Rodgers will require more quality if they are to take the next step and reach the last 16 or, at least, finish third and drop into the Europa League after Christmas.
Players will surely leave Celtic this month, with the likes of Nadir Ciftci, Kris Commons - on loan at Hibernian - Eoghan O'Connell and Dedryck Boyata barely getting a look in.
It is well documented that Dundee's season has been hamstrung by Greg Stewart and Kane Hemmings' summer departures and their replacements are yet to make an impression.
Paul Hartley has been proactive in trying to replace his former star pair but Marcus Haber, Faissal El Bakhtaoui and Rory Loy do not appear to be capable of scoring the 15 to 20 goals that Stewart and Hemmings were.
Hartley has been forced to change the way he wants his team to play. They are now more direct and a target man may be at the forefront of his thoughts this window.
Martin Canning may be more concerned with the vultures circling New Douglas Park with clubs ready to test their determination to keep midfielder Ali Crawford at Accies.
Like Dundee, they don't have that player who is going to get into double figures with goals, Alex D'Acol and Rakish Bingham have both been used as the main striker, but Crawford is their top scorer with a lot of his strikes coming from set-plays.
Eamonn Brophy is a talent but isn't yet chipping in with enough goals.
These teams are working within a similar budget and are looking for a similar player - one that will score the goals to keep them away from the relegation places - if indeed he is out there.
This will be an interesting window at Tynecastle, Ian Cathro's first as manager there.
The big question mark would have been over Callum Paterson, who was expected to leave for a seven-figure sum before he was ruled out for up to 10 months with injury.
The dip in form since the managerial change will have alarmed many at Tynecastle and they desperately need someone to do the job Adam Rooney does so well for Aberdeen. Conor Sammon and Tony Watt have flopped, to the extent they could both be gone by the end of the month.
Richie Foran's men have conceded more than anyone else in the division - surprising given the normally reliable Josh Meekings and Gary Warren are at the heart of their defence.
Foran has to look for another defender to give those two some competition though they are surely still two of the best centre-backs in the league.
Whilst scoring hasn't been their biggest problem this season, another striker who can make the impact Miles Storey made last season when he arrived on loan would be beneficial to a relegation battle. Could they be tempted to ask Aberdeen if Storey is available again given he has started just twice for the Dons? They also need more creativity from the midfield.
Killie look adequately covered in the forward areas with Kris Boyd and Souleymane Coulibaly supported by Nathan Tyson and Flo Bojaj, albeit Boyd hasn't been at his prolific best this season and Tyson and Bojaj are yet to prove themselves at Rugby Park. Centrally they are also quite strong.
Defensively, however, they need tighten up if they are to avoid the spectre of relegation and Lee Clark will likely line up a new centre-half having already tried that in the summer with Scott Boyd and Will Boyle brought in. Miles Addison's injury problems haven't helped.
Killie could also be doing with a creative midfielder behind the strikers in the 'number 10' role. But tightening up his leaky defence is Clark's priority.
Mark McGhee's team is absolutely fine the further up the pitch you go, they have coped with the loss of Marvin Johnson by using youngsters Chris Cadden and Ross MacLean on the wings recently and clubs like Hearts, Aberdeen or Rangers wouldn't say no to Louis Moult and Scott McDonald.
If there is a weakness, it could be the pace - or lack of - in their defence. Steven Hammell and Stephen McManus are terrific players but that side of the Well defence could do with an injection of pace.
There can not be a team in the league who has missed more opportunities this season than Partick Thistle, with Ade Azeez the most guilty of all. Kris Doolan is a regular goal-scorer, but they really need to stop being so profligate if they are to avoid the drop.
They should have beaten both Rangers and Hearts in recent times and another striker will be considered by Alan Archibald.
At the back they look decent and Adam Barton has been a great signing, complimenting Liam Lindsay well at the heart of their defence. However, the knee problem suffered by midfielder Stuart Bannigan has been an issue in central midfield. His return would be like a new a signing.
It sounds ridiculous to say that new defenders are required by Mark Warburton given they've only conceded six goals at home and of the 15 they've let in on the road, five of those were scored by a rampant Celtic.
However, the centre-back pairing of Rob Kiernan and Danny Wilson has seldom convinced and the signing of Phillipe Senderos has not worked. Clint Hill has been decent, but is he the long-term answer? No.
They could also be doing with an out-and-out winger. Barrie McKay has flirted with good form this season but the rest are either central players or want to be a striker.
For the last two or three seasons, the Staggies have used this window to strengthen their squad. This time around it could be quieter, however, as they are picking up good results regularly.
Two months ago that may have been a different story, but Jim McIntyre's squad looks strong and in Liam Boyce they have the league's top scorer, so they will hope there are no bids for the Northern Irishman. If anything, a centre midfielder may be on his mind as they are fine in the wide areas.
It could be that Roy Macgregor's purse-strings do not require as much loosening this window.
Tommy Wright tends to only sign players who can make an immediate impression on the first team and it could be a quiet window for the Perth club.
Joe Gormley's lack of impact before quitting the professional game means there is scope for Saints to bring in another forward and a proven goal-scorer is probably the one area they could be doing with sorting out.
However, their squad is almost certainly strong enough to maintain their now regular berth in the Premiership with their settled back four proving, generally, to be stubborn opposition.
Holding onto star man Danny Swanson will also be key.
Plas Madoc leisure centre was saved from demolition in 2014 by local people and councillors.
After setting up a charitable trust to run the centre in Acrefair, volunteers set about overhauling the facilities, renamed Splash Magic.
The grant will go towards the building's development.
Sean Frayne, 48, denies attacking the woman in a Derbyshire pub in 2006, claiming the sex was consensual.
The alleged victim's friend told the court he sent the letters to Mr Frayne without her knowledge and denied it was an attempt at blackmail.
He said he wanted to scare Mr Frayne into going to the police.
The friend, who is not being named to avoid identifying the alleged victim, told Derby Crown Court that he first heard about the attack seven years after the event.
He said the woman did not want anybody else to know and the pair tried to report the Mr Frayne, of Fixby, Huddersfield, anonymously.
He told the court he wanted to confront Mr Frayne himself so he wrote two letters.
The court was told that the woman found out about the notes when Mr Frayne and his wife turned up on her doorstep.
The letter-writer told the jury the woman went to see him afterwards and was "hysterical", thumping him because of what he had done.
Under cross-examination, he was asked why the letters demanded money from Mr Frayne.
"It's to scare him. All men, everybody, likes money and they don't want to lose it," he said.
"I just wanted to scare him to go to the police."
The trial continues.
It was essential people could vote for a party in government, said James Brokenshire.
He was speaking to an audience of party members and journalists at the party's election manifesto launch in Belfast.
The Tories, who secured less than 2,500 votes in March's assembly election, are fielding seven candidates.
The manifesto rules out joint authority over NI between the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Mr Brokenshire also ruled out a border poll, saying the requirements for one were "not remotely satisfied".
When asked how long the party would continue to support local candidates, Mr Brokenshire said it was about choice.
"You know we want to see more people voting Conservative at this election and beyond, and I think it is that resolute commitment we have that we want to see continuing into the future," said Mr Brokenshire.
"It really matters that people do have that say; do have that ability to vote for a party within government; looking to remain in government.
"And therefore I believe that that will continue very firmly, long into the future."
The manifesto promises an economy "that works for everyone", and says new bodies to deal with the legacy of the past will be "fair, balanced and proportionate" and will not "unfairly focus on former members of the armed forces and the RUC".
He urged the Northern Ireland parties to work intensively to re-establish a power-sharing Executive in talks which are due to resume after the election on 8 June.

It's when people dump rubbish from their homes in random places like parks or near roads.
It can be anything from fridges, to mattresses to washing machines, and it costs the local councils millions of pounds every year to tidy up.
Fly-tipping is illegal and councils can fine people a lot of money for leaving their rubbish in a public place.
We sent Jenny on a 'rubbish' safari in Irvine in Scotland, to find out more about how fly-tipping can affect the environment...
The contents are dismissed by critics as a "pint-sized package" that fails to match the prime minister's lofty ambition of fundamental reform.
It is a draft text that oozes with the obfuscation of old-style EU fudge.
There are paragraphs of compromise that fail to meet the promises of the Conservative manifesto.
The newspapers look down sniffily and ask: "Is that it?"
Tory MPs mutter to one another in the corridors of Westminster, unable to hide their disappointment. One is so affronted he stands up in the House of Commons and accuses his government of "polishing a poo". Such is the elevation of political discourse that the European Union engenders.
And yet David Cameron is on his feet at a factory in Wiltshire claiming the draft reform deal published by Donald Tusk would leave Britain "better off, more secure, more prosperous". The settlement, the prime minister said, gave Britain the "best of worlds" and that was "something worth fighting for".
So yes, Mr Cameron may have to spend the next two weeks twisting arms in Europe, there may be no guarantee of a deal and everyone is agreed that nothing is agreed until everything agreed.
But the prime minister is already in campaign mode, bouncing around tiggerishly in his shirtsleeves, selling his deal almost as if it had been agreed.
There will be an emergency brake on in-work benefits imposed on EU migrants, they will be able to send less child benefit home, there will be greater protection for businesses from the Eurozone, parliaments will get more powers to block EU laws, the UK will escape further political integration within the EU, there are legally binding promises to make the EU more competitive.
And there will be changes to make it easier for the UK to exclude terror suspects even if there is no imminent threat.
So here's the point. However much this package is diluted or changed in coming weeks, Mr Cameron now believes he will have enough of a deal to sell to the British people. And that means that he can begin to make his case for Britain to remain within the EU from today.
And that will have consequences. Tory ministers who want to support the campaign to leave the EU are champing at the bit, silenced by collective responsibility while the prime minister gets his campaign rolling.
They will be released from their omerta once the cabinet has agreed the government's official position after the summit later this month.
But that means the PM has a clear couple of weeks where he can own the political space - as long as his ministers behave.
It also illustrates Mr Cameron's impatience for a quick referendum in June while his opponents are divided and before refugee numbers have reached their summer peak.
So Mr Cameron insists that what he wants is the right deal not a quick deal.
But today he gave every impression of being a man in a hurry, keen to start campaigning even while he's still negotiating.
In other words, the referendum campaign has begun.
A visit by Inspector of Crematoria Scotland Robert Swanson was made three days after the publication of the national investigation report.
That inquiry, by Dame Elish Angiolini, uncovered "unethical and abhorrent practices" at Aberdeen Crematorium.
Mr Swanson said he found "good practice" in the cremation of babies.
But he warned the "air needs to be cleared" over the concerns and attitudes of staff.
Mr Swanson said: "In this instance focus was given to examining current procedures and working practices in place at Aberdeen Crematorium to assess what changes have been implemented to ensure that there will be no repeat of the unethical and abhorrent practices described in the report by the Rt Hon Dame Elish Angiolini.
"The inspection found the operational procedures to be of a good standard with no evidence of current working practices which are comparable to those described in the Report of the National Cremation Investigation."
The Angiolini report led to an apology by Aberdeen City Council chief executive Angela Scott and an urgent inspection by Mr Swanson.
Dame Elish found in some cases that an infant coffin was placed at the side of or on top of an unrelated adult coffin and both cremated together.
Many staff had the "extraordinary belief" there would be no recovered ashes from babies up to the age of 18 months despite the fact they were recovered in other crematoriums.
Mr Swanson observed: "Of most concern to the Inspector was being advised that a number of the five employees currently working at the Crematorium, who were in post during the period subject to the investigation, regard themselves as being 'the victims'.
"Staff were clearly very apprehensive about what the future holds for them and intimated that a representative of their 'Union' was in attendance that day.
"It is the opinion of the Inspector that if public confidence in the Cremation Authority and the Crematorium is to be restored, then the 'air needs to be cleared' with staff at the earliest opportunity."
Clayton Williams, 20, ploughed into PC Dave Phillips, 34, during a high-speed police pursuit in October 2015.
The officer was attempting to deploy a stinger device when Williams hit him.
The Court of Appeal upheld the length of the sentence given to Williams, who was convicted of manslaughter in 2016.
Dismissing Williams' appeal, judge Sir Brian Leveson said: "In our judgement he (Williams) cannot have any complaint with the sentence passed upon him. It was thoroughly deserved.
"Severe punishment will be imposed on all those who kill or injure police officers."
Merseyside officer PC Phillips was struck in Wallasey after responding to reports of a burglary in Woodchurch Road, Birkenhead, with a colleague.
The married father-of-two died shortly after arriving at hospital.
Adam Davis QC argued Williams had been sentenced to "very many years, far in excess of what was appropriate on the facts of the case".
"Is this so grave a crime that merited a sentence of 20 years for a 19 year old?" he said.
Rejecting the argument, Sir Brian agreed with the trial judge that this had been a "very grave offence of manslaughter".
He said Williams' age was taken into account when he was sentenced.
Williams was 19 when he was cleared of murder but found guilty of manslaughter at Manchester Crown Court.
He ordered to serve 20 years, initially in a young offenders institution, and was also banned from driving for life.
Williams was found not guilty of attempting to wound another police officer.
Wing Alex Cuthbert went over early, gathering his own kick to score after Gareth Anscombe's initial break, while the Wales pack earned a penalty try.
Sam Davies added four penalties but the fly-half had a mixed day with the boot, missing three other kicks.
Tonga rarely probed the Wales line and their points at the New Zealand ground came from Sonatane Takulua's boot.
Wales had never previously won at Eden Park, losing all three of their Tests against New Zealand at the Auckland venue and were defeated there 9-8 in the 2011 World Cup by France.
With 12 Wales players away on British and Irish Lions duty, Wales' starting XV had a youthful look and tour coach Robin McBryde fielded three uncapped players in Cardiff Blues lock Seb Davies, Scarlets wing Steff Evans and Wasps flanker Thomas Young.
All three - with Young especially effective at the breakdown - enjoyed decent debuts, but Wales still had an experienced core.
That was typified by the centre partnership of captain Jamie Roberts and Scott Williams, who provided the physical fulcrum to put Wales on the front foot.
Cuthbert nearly went over within two minutes but the wing was forced into touch as he dived low for the line.
Wales had to settle for the consolation of a penalty, which Davies stroked over.
After a Williams break had driven Wales into the Tonga 22, Cuthbert again went close as he chased Anscombe's cross-kick into the in-goal area but could not apply downward pressure.
Robert's high tackle gave Tonga their first chance at points but Takulua's kick fell just short.
Davies had two more kicks to extend Wales' lead but the Ospreys fly-half hit the post with both his efforts.
Wales claimed the first try of the game when Anscombe shimmied through to feed Cuthbert on the right, who made it third time lucky when he chipped ahead and gathered to score an unconverted try.
Takulua had another chance at the posts when Wales conceded a penalty immediately after the restart and the Newcastle Falcons player this time got Tonga on the scoreboard to cut Wales' lead to 8-3 at half-time.
Tonga had come into the game with just four days' training together, while Wales were blooding fresh talent.
The unfamiliarity between the players on both sides was evident, with good breaks and field position too often being spoiled by handling errors.
Wales were forced into a change at half-time with Cory Allen replacing Cuthbert, who had injured his shoulder diving for Anscombe's kick early in the first half.
Powerful scrum seals victory
With the rain pouring down on Eden Park in the second half, handling became even trickier and both sides - even the normally direct-running Tongans - relied on kicks to put pressure on the opposition.
But from a turnover the excellent Takulua went with ball in hand, brushing off Davies to race deep into the Wales 22.
Wales got back in numbers but Aaron Shingler was penalised for hands in the ruck and Takulua kicked Tonga to within two points.
Tonga conceded a penalty from in front of the posts after Hill's charge upfield, allowing Davies a simple chance to mend his confidence as he stroked the penalty over.
The Wales fly-half - who had primed his backline well - also made no mistake with his next kick, after Latiume Fosita was penalised for rolling Josh Navidi off a ruck by the neck.
Takulua missed a difficult long-range kick as Tonga looked to force their way back into the game, but Wales were controlling the play well and had a strangle hold on territory.
With his radar well and truly fixed, Davies added his fourth penalty of the night and then a conversion as the Wales scrum earned a penalty try - now worth an automatic seven points after a law change - in the last minute after they shunted the Tonga eight back across the line.
Wales now head to Apia to face Samoa on Friday, 23 June.

Billy Mankelow was found in a railway arch, on Swinegate, in the early hours of Saturday but died on Sunday.
The 20-year-old, from Tonbridge in Kent, was studying in the city.
Richard Dennis Langdon Danter, 31, of Queen's Road in Leeds, was remanded in custody and is expected to appear at Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday announced the end of its 25-year-old partnership with the regional Shiv Sena party.
The alliance reportedly ended after the two Hindu nationalist parties failed to agree on a seat-sharing deal.
"The end of the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance after a 25-year partnership is, without a doubt, one of the biggest political shockers this year," says the First Post website.
The Deccan Chronicle says the break-up is likely to cause a "political storm" in Maharashtra ahead of the assembly elections.
Some analysts feel the BJP wanted to play a major role in the state, but the Shiv Sena "was in no mood to play the junior partner".
"Buoyed by the Lok Sabha (parliament) results in which the BJP-Sena alliance won 42 of the 48 seats, BJP upped the ante and demanded 135 seats which the Sena was not willing to give. Sena responded saying it would leave only 119 seats it had contested earlier but later agreed to concede a few more seats," says a report in the Economic Times.
On the same day, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) also decided to end its alliance with the Congress party.
The two are currently running the state government as allies.
"The 15-year-old Congress-NCP alliance in Maharashtra broke up today [Thursday] with the regional party deciding to contest next month's assembly polls on its own and pulling out of the government, setting the stage for its fall," says another report in the paper.
Some experts feel the state will see a bitter campaign because of the break-up of the two alliances.
The FirstPost urges readers to "prepare for a very bitter - and dare we say entertaining - three weeks before polling starts in Maharashtra".
Moving on to other news, newspapers and websites are praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Make in India" campaign which aims to turn the country into a global manufacturing hub by cutting red tape and making it easier for companies to do business.
"The "Make in India" campaign is as much an invitation to domestic and foreign companies as a promise to rectify everything that has kept the country at almost the bottom of World Bank's 'ease of doing business' index," reports the Hindustan Times.
"There's no denying that Indian industry - the manufacturing sector in particular - desperately needs a big push. The time is also right," the paper says in its editorial.
Echoing similar sentiments, The New Indian Express says that the campaign "holds considerable promise of taking the economy on a sustainable high growth path".
It adds that the "timing of the launch of the initiative is significant" because it comes ahead of Modi's US visit, where he will be meeting CEOs of several Fortune 500 companies".
Media are also upbeat about Mr Modi's five-day visit to the US and hope it will start a new chapter in Delhi-Washington ties.
"India-US ties have many things going for it… The visit is expected to yield deliverables like the joint development of weapon systems, but the real measure of success would be if both leaders come away with a clear understanding of what they need to do to impart some momentum to bilateral ties," says the Hindustan Times.
And finally, the combined death toll in the flood-hit states of Meghalaya and Assam has reached 75, reports the CNN-IBN website.
Heavy rains have been battering Assam and Meghalaya since Monday, with floods damaging bridges and sweeping away roads and houses.

David Shepherd of Bridport, Dorset, admitted a number of offences but denied raping four children, one of whom was only eight years old.
The 60-year-old's string of sex crimes, including holding 20,000 indecent images, were heard at three trials in Dorchester Crown Court.
Shepherd, described as "vile" by police, will be sentenced on 31 August.
During the three trials, the paedophile was found guilty of facilitating child sex offences, raping children, paying for child sex, making indecent videos of children and holding 20,211 indecent films and images of minors.
Dorset Police said the former pub landlord travelled to the Philippines to abuse children in "the most vile manner", and would also direct live sex shows using internet messaging services.
Officers said Shepherd would record himself committing serious sexual offences, including rape, against young children.
He was found with a large collection of videos he had produced as well as and tens of thousands of indecent images and videos of children on his computer and hard drives.
Trial one, 3 August:
Trial two, 4 August:
Trial three, 8 August:
Det Con David Baker, of Dorset Police said Shepherd was a "serious risk and danger to young children".
"This is the most horrific case of child abuse I have had any dealings with.
"This evidence showed harrowing images of very young children being abused and degraded in the most vile manner."
Shepway District Council has plans for a new garden town with up to 12,000 homes at Otterpool Park, just south of the M20, near Folkestone.
It claims the 30-year project will provide much-needed housing, with infrastructure to support it.
But opponents are concerned about the local impact and say they are not being listened to.
On its website, the council explains that a garden town is a "properly planned" new settlement with "high quality homes... in a beautiful setting".
It says it offers "everything people need for a new community to thrive" including schools, medical centres, green space, public transport, new roads, community centres and shops.
'Desperate shortage'
But Ian Nedgett of the Sellindge and District Residents Association is not convinced.
"Twelve thousand houses on a greenfield site is not sustainable," he said.
"We know people need somewhere to live but it needs to be spread out - the whole of Kent needs to take a share."
Otterpool resident Vernon Morris added: "They are destroying the countryside for our children."
However, John Bibby from the housing charity Shelter said there was a need to develop greenfield sites as well as brownfield sites "in a way that is sensitive to local people's needs and desires".
"People across the south-east recognise that the region faces a desperate shortage of housing," he said.
Adult patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma will now be able to access the drug Revlimid, in combination with dexamethasone.
The cancer develops in bone marrow and attacks blood cells, which can cause bone damage and kidney Âproblems.
The Welsh Government said it was pleased to make the drug available "where clinically appropriate".
The most recent figures, in 2013, showed nearly 300 new cases of multiple myeloma were diagnosed in Wales.
Dr Ceri Bygrave, consultant haematologist at Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales, said: "Multiple myeloma is a deadly form of blood cancer, for which there is a need for new treatment approaches and combinations.
"People with the disease live with the constant uncertainty of relapse."
She added: "[The approval of Revlimid] brings an important additional option to Welsh patients who have just received diagnosis of a largely incurable disease."
Mother-of-four Deb Richardson, 48, from Pontypool in Torfaen, welcomed the move.
She was diagnosed with smouldering myeloma, the precursor to multiple myeloma, in 2012 and has to undergo treatment at Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny every eight weeks.
"When I was diagnosed it was a shock because I had pain in my hip which I just thought was arthritis," she said.
"To hear that treatment is available elsewhere, but not in your area, that's hard to take. It's a real postcode lottery.
"With myeloma, a treatment that works for one patient might not work for another, so a new form of treatment could give someone another chance of life."
The All Wales Medicine Strategy Group recommended making Revlimid, also known as lenalidomide, available for Welsh patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma.
NHS Scotland and Northern Ireland approved patient access to this drug combination in December 2015 and April 2016 respectively.
It has been available in England only for patients who have received two or more prior therapies since 2009.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "In Wales, we are proud to take an evidence-based approach towards the introduction of new medicines in the NHS.
"We were pleased to ratify All Wales Medicine Strategy Group's recommendation to make this new drug available for patients in Wales where clinically appropriate.
"We welcome the manufacturer's engagement with our appraisal process and our Wales Patient Access Scheme. "
The Lowther Hills Ski Club has applied for planning permission to build a clubhouse and a 600m rope tow on the slope near Wanlockhead.
It is hoping to attract snowsports enthusiasts from across Scotland and the north of England to the village in Dumfries and Galloway.
It is part of a wider plan to market the area as a year-round sports resort.
Those behind the proposals hope to eventually offer visitors to the Southern Uplands the chance to do a range of different activities including mountain biking, hill-walking, golf and curling.
Lowther Hills Ski Club chairman Anjo Abelaira said: "The ski facilities will put the village on the map and it will bring people to the area.
"We will be staffed by volunteers and mainly open at weekends. We will be open for about 25 days between December and March."
Lowther Hill was a busy ski resort in the 1960s and 1970s when there was a permanent ski tow on the slope.
It fell out of fashion in the 1980s however, and since then local people have occasionally used a portable tow to get up the hillside.
"I almost feel like I don't deserve it," said four-time gold medallist Laura. "It's such a huge honour, but I feel like all I do is ride a bike."
The pair, who are expecting their first child, were both recognised at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
Five Olympic rowers who won gold in the men's eight at Rio were also honoured.
Paul Bennett, 28, Scott Durant, 29, Matthew Gotrel, 28, and cox Phelan Hill, 37, were made MBEs, while crew-mate Lieutenant Pete Reed received an OBE.
They are among 1,197 people who were recognised for their achievements in the New Year Honours list, many of whom are unknown to the wider public.
Laura, 25, said "nothing compares" to being named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
Speaking after the ceremony, she said Princess Anne had asked her what it was like to take a break from training.
"Obviously she's from a sporting background herself so she knows what it's like," Laura said.
"So that was nice for her to say and actually realise that I haven't had a break since 2010."
She added: "Me and Jason are spending a lot more time together.
"We're doing things we never really did, like going down to my parents' house, for example."
Husband Jason, 29, described the day as "mega", and added that he has the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 in his sights.
Jason, who has six Olympic gold medals, said: "I'm still training, just ticking over, just relaxing, letting the dust settle.
"Obviously we've got an extra family member coming at the end of the year."
Show jumper and Olympic gold medallist Nick Skelton was sporting a black eye as he was awarded his CBE by Princess Anne, who is also a horse rider.
Skelton, 59, who announced his retirement earlier this month, said she had asked what caused the injury.
"She said, 'I hope that was horse-related'."
He said: "It actually wasn't, I fell and hit a wall, and then we were talking about just the horses in general and what I'm doing and what I'm going to do now that I'm retired."
GB para-archer John Walker was made an MBE, along with England footballers Alexandra Scott and Karen Carney.
Carney said it was "massive" to be recognised while Scott said: "I started welling-up a bit."
She added: "I suppose it brings it all together - what you've done and the journey I've been on."
An internal e-mail leaked to the BBC suggested that Ms Evans had been frozen out, with officials told to have no further contact with her.
This came after she said in a TV interview that Mr Farage was perceived as "very divisive" by the electorate.
But the party said the e-mail had been sent "without proper authority".
The BBC's political correspondent Robin Brant said two UKIP MEPs had expressed concerns about the party's treatment of Ms Evans, the party's deputy chair who was in charge of its general election manifesto, one describing the situation as "utterly bizarre".
Another well known MEP has told our correspondent "we should support all our team and not treat them badly in the full eye of the media".
Speaking about what role Mr Farage might play in the EU referendum campaign, Ms Evans said "Nigel is a very divisive character in terms of the way he is perceived".
"He is not divisive as a person but the way he is perceived in having strong views that divide people."
Mr Farage was "very angry" after he heard the comments, the BBC understands.
In the internal UKIP email, press officers were ordered to sever contact with Ms Evans. The email also instructed them to refuse any media interview requests for her and said "she is not to be offered as an official UKIP spokesman".
Ms Evans was a prominent figure during the campaign and when Mr Farage said he was resigning as leader after he failed to become an MP he anointed her as his successor, saying she had "emerged as an absolute tower of strength".
Ms Evans left her role as policy chief last month after a week of very public infighting kicked off by a personal attack on the leader from the party's economy spokesman Patrick O'Flynn.
He said Nigel Farage had become "snarling and aggressive". Ms Evans spoke up in his defence and also called for several advisers around Mr Farage to resign.
Two advisers - Raheem Kassam and Matt Richardson - subsequently left their roles, although Mr Richardson has now returned as party secretary.
Mr Kassam pulled out of a planned interview on the BBC's Daily Politics on Friday, saying it would be "unhelpful" for him to appear.
Former UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom, who did appear on the programme, described Mr Farage as "an autocratic general" who would not stand any criticism.
"Watching Suzanne Evans, it was bit like watching a 1938 politburo member criticising Joe Stalin," Mr Bloom, a former flatmate of Nigel Farage's who quit the party in 2013 after falling out with him, said.
"I don't know where she thought she was going with that. I know you chaps seem to buy this 'good old Nigel' with a pint image but believe me he's nothing like that. He's a very ruthless operator and even a hint of criticism from anybody and you have your membership card chopped up and that's how it's been for many years."
He added: "There's this terrible dichotomy we now have in UKIP: that is that they have a party leader who is extremely popular with the membership - and the strength of the party is with hardworking dedicated activists - and a party leader who sadly is unelectable."
"It is a rather autocratic organisation and you can get away with that when you're winning. Had he won his seat and had UKIP won some seats in Westminster you can get away with it, but it's very difficult to be an autocratic general when you're losing battles."
A spokesman for Mr Farage said: "Godfrey Bloom is no longer in UKIP and hasn't been for two years, therefore we do not feel the need to respond to any of his comments."
Máirtín Ó Muilleoir said about £300m could be lost with "hundreds if not thousands of job losses".
It would be a "real body blow to the economy", he added.
The Treasury says EU projects signed before the chancellor's Autumn Statement will be fully funded.
Politicians in London have agreed that EU schemes in Northern Ireland signed off before November of this year will get guaranteed funding even if they continue after the UK leaves the EU.
That commitment has been welcomed by First Minster Arlene Foster.
"We had a letter from the Treasury a couple of weeks ago. I think it was a very helpful letter," the DUP leader said.
"I think we have been given clarity in relation to European funding."
Northern Ireland has received tens of millions of pounds in the last 20 years - money designed to help divided communities and enhance the peace process.
Since 1995, various peace funds have delivered £1.5bn and a cross-border fund has provided £820m.
Between now and 2020, about £500m in peace and cross-border funding is due to be handed out.
While the UK government has guaranteed to match projects agreed by December, Mr Ó Muilleoir has reservations.
He is worried that any shortfall could put jobs at risk.
"It means hundreds if not thousands of job losses," he said. "It weakens our case. It would be a real body blow to the economy.
"It is my number one priority to fight for this £500m."
Across Northern Ireland, EU money has funded a series of high-profile projects including the Peace Bridge in Londonderry and the Gobbins Cliff walk in County Antrim.
The Skainos centre in east Belfast, which provides a range of community services including a crèche, hostel and social housing, was partly funded by EU money.
Gary Robb from Skainos said the EU money was critical.
The investment was "vital for completion" and without it the centre "may not have happened at all", he said.
The charity Wave, a group that helps victims of the Troubles, also received £4m of EU money.
Chief Executive Sandra Peake said she was worried the charity's youth services would end if the funding stopped and nothing was "put in place" to replace it.
Economist Esmond Birnie, from Price Waterhouse Coopers, said community groups and politicians need to change their mindset now that the UK has voted to leave the EU.
He told the BBC that those schemes in Northern Ireland previously funded by the EU should be examined thoroughly to see if "we need to be pursuing those purposes".
He said what was needed now was "a totally new approach" to funding.
Peace and cross-border funding was established back in the 1990s as Northern Ireland ushered in new times.
Now, fresh thinking is needed as people here get ready for life after Brexit.
The 23-year-old made himself unavailable for the Bees' game against Burnley in January, which Sean Dyche's side won 3-1, after rumours of a move to Turf Moor.
The former Oldham centre-back, who has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal, had since returned to training.
He is not available for the game against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday.
"James is a player I have known for a couple of seasons and I've monitored his progress from Oldham, right the way through to now," boss Dyche told the club website.
"He is at a good age, has gained a lot of experience over the last couple of seasons and I feel he can be a big part of us going forwards in the future."
The Bees have also announced Ryan Williams, Montell Moore and Josh Laurent have left the club by mutual consent.

House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan vowed to focus on defending seats in Congress, but did not end his endorsement of the party's nominee.
Mr Trump tweeted that Mr Ryan should not waste his time fighting him.
Earlier Democratic rival Hillary Clinton cast doubt on Mr Trump's apology for the 11-year-old remarks.
On Sunday, Mr Trump described his words as "locker-room talk".
In a bitter televised debate, a month before the US presidential election, Mr Trump denied he had groped anyone.
Mrs Clinton tweeted on Monday that, if he stood by this assertion, he was "clearly not sorry".
A 2005 video released on Friday revealed Mr Trump describing how he had sought to have sex with a married woman and making obscene comments about women.
Paul Ryan, the highest-ranking Republican officeholder, has officially given the signal. The SS Trump is sinking, and it's time for members of his party to calmly, quietly head to the lifeboats.
Republican control of Congress must be maintained at all costs, the House speaker asserted in his call to congressional rank-and-file on Monday, lest Hillary Clinton have the ability to advance her party's legislative priorities and seat sympathetic Supreme Court justices without opposition.
It's notable that after reports he was mulling a full unendorsement of the Republican nominee, Mr Ryan is apparently trying to a walk a fine line between abandonment and loyalty to his putative standard-bearer. His decision evokes shades of 1996, when Republican nominee Bob Dole's doomed presidential campaign rolled along, oblivious to a party apparatus that was focusing exclusively on local races.
It's worth keeping in mind that while Mr Ryan is sounding the abandon-ship alarm, Donald Trump may not play the stoic captain watching from the bridge. He's shown no loyalty to a Republican establishment that never truly embraced him and may have no qualms with lashing out at erstwhile friend and foe alike in the campaign's final, turbulent days.

Asked about the video in the debate, Mr Trump turned his fire on Mrs Clinton's husband, ex-President Bill Clinton, whom he described as "abusive to women". She refused to address the comments.
At least 38 senior Republicans - including senators, members of Congress, and state governors - have withdrawn their support since the video surfaced on Friday.
But late on Monday Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said "nothing has changed" in relation to the campaign.
"I think the issue [of the remarks about groping] was taken care of at the debate," he said, quoted by the Politico website, after a conference call with committee members.
According to sources familiar with a conference call he held with congress members on Monday, Mr Ryan appeared to have accepted that Mrs Clinton would win the White House and wanted to make sure Republicans in Congress were strong enough to challenge her.
Mr Ryan said he would spend "his entire energy making sure that Hillary Clinton does not get a blank cheque with a Democrat-controlled Congress", the source said.
"You all need to do what's best for you in your district," he was quoted as telling colleagues.
He, however, faced some resistance from colleagues for his approach.
California Representative Dana Rohrabacher, called party leaders "cowards" during the call for distancing themselves from the Republican's official nominee, reports say.

Mr Trump apologised for the remarks, and when pressed during the debate on whether he had engaged in sexual misconduct, he denied doing so.
But Mrs Clinton said his explanation that these were words not actions did not amount to an apology.
"If Trump stands by what he said about women as "locker room talk," he's clearly not sorry," she tweeted.
Meanwhile Mr Trump's running mate Mike Pence said he would stand by him despite the outcry over the remarks.
"I think last night he showed his heart to the American people. He said he apologised to his family, apologised to the American people, that he was embarrassed by it," he told CNN on Monday.
Earlier Mr Pence had described the remarks as indefensible.
The vice-presidential candidate said he was "honoured to stand with" Mr Trump and denied he had considered withdrawing from the race.

The Gloucester-born youngster, who has been tied to Albion's academy since he was seven, has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The highly-rated Roberts was invited to train with Chris Coleman's Wales' senior squad last summer.
He qualifies to represent Wales through his grandparents.
Roberts has twice been named on the Albion bench as an unused substitute, for last season's final-day defeat at Arsenal and again for the New Year's holiday home match against Stoke City.
"Being on the bench a couple of times was a great experience," he said. "But this feels wonderful. It's something I've been working towards since I was seven. To have finally got here is an immense feeling.
"We have some great coaches at academy level. They have told me to use this as a stepping stone, to not settle for this but push myself on and become a regular in the first-team squad.
Tyler Roberts was first spotted by scouts playing in a tournament in Gloucester, for junior side Tredworth Tigers.
After joining Albion, he made weekly journeys up and down the M5 to train at Albion's academy, in the shadow of the M6 junction at Great Barr.
But, when he reached secondary school age, his mother chose to move north to Birmingham, finding a new job to allow her son to switch schools to Sandwell Academy and follow his footballing dream.
He captained Wales Under-16s to victory in last season's Victory Shield, setting up two goals against Scotland before scoring in the final against Northern Ireland.
The arrests were part of a cross-border operation which involved officers from Scotland, Merseyside and the UK's National Crime Agency.
The intelligence-led investigation focused on the importation and distribution of Class A and B drugs across central Scotland.
Seven of the men were arrested in the west of Scotland.
The men, aged, 23, 28, 31, 39, 45, 47, and 53, were detained in Paisley, Johnstone, Lanarkshire and Hamilton.
A further man aged 45 was arrested in the Lincolnshire area.
It brought the total number of people arrested since the start of the operation to 20. A total of £7m worth of drugs - mainly cocaine and amphetamine - have also been recovered.
Police Scotland said the latest arrests were culmination of work which will, in effect, bring down an entire organised crime group concerned in the distribution of millions of pounds of drugs.
Det Ch Supt John Cuddihy, the force's head of organised crime and counter terrorism, said: "Police Scotland remains absolutely determined to rid our communities of serious and organised criminal gangs and we will continue to relentlessly target those involved in the sale and supply of controlled drugs.
"Hundreds of kilograms of amphetamine have already been seized and significant amounts of class A and class B drugs have been taken off the streets of the west of Scotland."
He added: "In total 20 people have been arrested since the start of this operation which undoubtedly has had a significant impact not only on an organised crime group and its ability to function but on the availability of these drugs in our communities."
All eight men are expected to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday.
The force said it was too busy to answer a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for statistics about officers convicted of crimes since 2012.
"The public has a right to know," former Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner Saima Afzal told the BBC.
"It does seem to be a weak reason for not giving the figures. I would have wanted this information."
Only 20 out of 45 forces provided figures in response to the Press Association's FOI request, with some citing the costs involved.
A statement from Lancashire Police said: "Unfortunately we were unable to respond to the request in the allocated time frame due to the high demand on the relevant department who would provide this type of data."
Ms Afzal, a campaigner against honour killing who was also a member of the former Lancashire Police Authority, lost her job as Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner in a restructuring exercise last year.

The ex-shadow business secretary said she was dropping out "in the interests of the party" and would back Mr Smith "with all her might and enthusiasm".
It came as Mr Smith won the backing of more MPs in a party ballot and said it was "time to move on" from Mr Corbyn.
Labour's leader says he will win despite losing the support of most MPs.
Mr Smith will now go up against Mr Corbyn in a head-to-head contest over the next two months, in which party members who joined Labour before 12 January, members of trade unions affiliated to Labour and registered supporters who sign up by paying £25 before Wednesday's 17:00 BST deadline will be able to take part.
Mr Smith's emergence as the sole challenger to Mr Corbyn comes after weeks of turmoil within the party following the UK's vote to leave the EU, which triggered a mass walkout from the shadow cabinet and an emphatic vote of no confidence in Mr Corbyn by his MPs.
Both Ms Eagle and Mr Smith said whichever of the two them had the least support in the parliamentary party would withdraw from the race to challenge Mr Corbyn for the leadership, to which he was overwhelmingly elected only last September.
Although nominations officially close on Wednesday, Mr Smith had built up a lead over his rival, winning the backing of 90 MPs and MEPs including former leader Ed Miliband.
Analysis by the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg
In the last two weeks Owen Smith has gone from someone who one MP described as "just playing games" to being the official challenger to Jeremy Corbyn.
Can he pull off a far bigger ask of actually beating him, and demolishing Mr Corbyn's mountain of membership support?
On his side is, finally perhaps, unity among the vast majority of Labour MPs and MEPs.
Angela Eagle dropped out with dignity so that there would be only one candidate. Owen Smith was warm in his tribute to her tonight and dropped heavy hints about campaigning side by side with her in the next two months to smooth the way for senior MPs to work together.
It's understood he has promised her the position of shadow chancellor if he wins the post. And despite some disquiet inside the party about not fielding a female candidate, in most quarters there is relief and a new focus now there is only one candidate and the race is under way.

Although Ms Eagle's figures have not been released, the BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said she understood she had got 25 fewer.
Offering her congratulations to Mr Smith, Ms Eagle said the Labour Party under Mr Corbyn's leadership "was not working" and that he did not have the confidence of his MPs to lead an effective opposition able to "take the fight" to the Conservative government.
Asked whether she had done a deal with Mr Smith, she said the two would be "in lockstep" from now on seeking to forge a "strong and united" opposition which "could do its job" under a leader who could "heal" the party.
Mr Smith said he had garnered "significantly more" support than Ms Eagle but praised her courage in coming forward to challenge Mr Corbyn and said he wanted her to be his "right-hand woman" during the leadership campaign and afterwards.
Promising to "move Labour on" from the turmoil of recent months, Mr Smith said he was "just as radical as Jeremy Corbyn" but better placed to help Labour get back into government and "put principles into practice".
Saying he represented a "new generation" of Labour politicians, Mr Smith - a former BBC journalist and lobbyist who was elected to Parliament as MP for Pontypridd in 2010 - said Labour had "been on the sidelines too long" and he was capable of "getting Labour ready to win back the trust of the British people and getting Labour back into power".
The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg said Mr Smith was regarded as "clean skin" having only entered frontline politics relatively recently while Ms Eagle had served in government under Gordon Brown and, crucially, backed the Iraq War in 2003.
Both Ms Eagle and Mr Smith quit the shadow cabinet in the wake of the EU referendum result. Ms Eagle threw her hat into the ring first to challenge Mr Corbyn and was later joined by Mr Smith.
The result will be announced at a special event on 24 September on the eve of Labour's party conference in Liverpool.
In a statement on the Labour Party website, Mr Corbyn acknowledged the party was divided but said he was proud of his achievements over the past 10 months and believed he should be given the chance to build on them.
"My vision is built around an economy that delivers for everyone, in every part of the country," he said. "Let's have a comradely debate this summer - and emerge stronger and more united to protect our communities and defeat this Conservative government." | Angela Eagle has pulled out of Labour's leadership race and backed ex-shadow work and pensions secretary Owen Smith in his challenge to Jeremy Corbyn. | 36,838,808 | 1,117 | 36 | false |
Tests on three pairs of glasses held at the British Library showed the author's sight deteriorated considerably.
At the time, heavy metals like arsenic were used in medicines that Austen, who had rheumatism, may have taken.
Library experts have suggested such poisoning may also have contributed to her early death at the age of 41.
The novelist, who lived in Steventon, Hampshire, died on 18 July 1817 and the cause of her death has been the subject of much speculation.
The three pairs of glasses, kept in the Pride and Prejudice author's writing desk, were examined using a portable lens meter brought to the library to determine the strength of the lenses which, despite their age, remain in good condition.
Tests showed they increased in strength from +1.75 in each eye from the first pair to +4.75 and +5.0 in the final pair - meaning she would have found it very difficult to see well enough to read or write by the time she died.
British Library curator Sandra Tuppen said: "There's the possibility of her being poisoned accidentally with a heavy metal such as arsenic. We know now that arsenic poisoning can cause cataracts.
"Arsenic was often put into medication for other types of illness, potentially for rheumatism, which we know Jane Austen suffered from."
It is not known whether the glasses, made of real tortoiseshell and glass, were prescribed for Austen or she bought them herself.
The British Library is inviting optometrists to offer their opinions on the new theory.
In a surprise move, the Commission has decided to stick to the current regulations.
If Scotland votes for independence in September, many private pension schemes would become cross-border schemes.
The pensions industry has said the decision could make these schemes more expensive to run.
The Commission had been expected to relax the regulations, so the schemes would not have to be fully funded all the time.
Joanne Segars, chief executive of the National Association of Pension Funds, said: "Today's announcement of a new EU pensions directive has major implications for pension schemes as part of the debate on independence for Scotland.
"The big surprise is that the EU will continue to require cross-border schemes to be fully funded - a significantly more demanding level of funding than is expected of single-country schemes.
"The European Commission had been expected to relax these special cross-border requirements, but it has disappointed many observers by leaving this part of the pensions directive unreformed.
"The knock-on effect of this is that schemes with members both north and south of the border would become much more expensive to run if Scotland were to vote for independence."
A spokeswoman for the Scottish government said ministers had "considered in detail the impact of EU rules on defined benefit pension schemes" and set out their view in the White Paper on independence, published last November.
The spokeswoman continued: "We clearly set out our view, informed by practice in Ireland under the current regime, that a scheme which became cross-border on independence should be allowed to implement its existing recovery plan in accordance with the period originally set for it, rather than having to achieve full funding over a much shorter timescale.
"This remains the case, regardless of the fact that that the Commission has deferred plans to encourage the growth of cross-border schemes by relaxing the funding regime.
"The Scottish Government has repeatedly pressed the UK to discuss this issue and to instigate formal talks with the Commission.
"Relaxation of the cross-border funding rules is supported by the industry across Europe. We will be working with partners to demonstrate the case for action on this important issue when the new Commission takes office later this year."
Speaking for the pro-Union Better Together campaign, Labour MP Gregg McClymont said: "The pensions system in the UK works well through the pooling of resources, where the rewards are shared via sensible and efficient risk sharing.
"This protects the pensions of Scots who have worked all their lives to enjoy retirement.
"The EU has today confirmed that Scottish company pension schemes must overnight, if we leave the UK, fill a huge funding black hole.
"The implications for Scots who are members of these defined benefit pension schemes and for the companies themselves are huge.
"It's now clear beyond doubt that independence puts the pensions of hard working Scots at risk."
For Argentina's "little boss", this was inconceivable. Mascherano is prepared to bleed blue and white for the cause.
I first saw him 11 and a half years ago, playing for the Under-20s in the South American Championship. The instant comparison was with former boxer Joe Frazier - the tougher the game, the more he more he seemed to like it.
Six months later he was handed his senior Argentina debut - he had still not played a match for his club side, River Plate, but his country had identified him as one for the future, and by 2004 an Argentina team without him had become inconceivable. It remains so a decade later.

But it has not been an easy 10 years in an Argentina shirt. True, there are Olympic gold medals from 2004 and 2008, but the nation has been waiting for a senior title since the 1993 Copa America.
They thought they had won the competition once more in Peru in 2004, with the young Mascherano anchoring the midfield. They led Brazil 2-1 until Adriano equalised with the last kick of the game, and the Selecao won the penalty shootout.
Argentina met Brazil again in the next Copa America final three years later in Venezuela, and were strong favourites, only to be shot down 3-0. Then, with Mascherano captaining the side, they hosted the competition in 2011 - but fell on penalties in the quarter-finals to eventual winners Uruguay.
Both of Mascherano's previous World Cup campaigns have also ended in quarter-final defeat - and both times to Sunday's opponents.
Four years ago it was not even close, the Germans winning 4-0 in Cape Town. In 2006, Argentina fell to the hosts in yet another penalty shootout - making it all the sweeter that they finally managed to win one last Wednesday against the Dutch - which sets Mascherano up for the biggest game of his life.
At 30, this might well be his last chance at World Cup glory - and there is a genuine fear that this might also apply to his nation. If Argentina cannot win the 2014 World Cup, when can they?
They are on their home continent, inspired by massive travelling support. The draw has been kind to them. They have one of the game's great players theoretically at the peak of his powers. And they can still count on players who, like Mascherano, are successful graduates of the youth development programme.
Argentina last won the World Under-20 trophy seven years ago - with a team that included the likes of Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria and goalkeeper Sergio Romero. But the production line of talent seems to be slowing down. Subsequent youth sides have been very disappointing.
This tournament, then, always looked like the golden opportunity - and the team are through to their first World Cup final since the days of Diego Maradona. The spotlight, of course, is on forward and captain Lionel Messi, the latter-day Maradona, who has provided the odd flash of left-footed genius along the way.
But Mascherano has been every bit as important as his Barcelona clubmate - as emphasised by his exceptional late block on the Netherlands' Arjen Robben in the semi-final, which for its defensive awareness and determination was one of the key moments of this World Cup.
Mascherano has made 28 tackles in the competition, more than any other player.
But his will to win and ferocious covering work often obscure the fact that he is also a thoroughly proficient footballer with the ball at his feet.
There is no way that Mascherano, employed as a centre-half by his club, would have been part of former Barca boss Pep Guardiola's defensive unit at the Nou Camp without the ability to play out from the back. He can pass well both long and short - and, to the astonishment of many, he also leads the tournament statistics chart for the number of passes made - 509, with a 90% completion rate.
The original idea of coach Alejandro Sabella's Argentina was a line up of attacking stars. But the so-called "fantastic four" have failed to sparkle.
Gonzalo Higuain has looked very sluggish. Aguero has never been remotely close to full fitness, a problem which now afflicts Di Maria.
Even Messi is way off top condition and forced to dose himself - he spends much of the game wandering round with the air of a bored secretary waiting for the Monday morning bus, before suddenly coming to life to create a moment of magic.
Perhaps, then, the real star of Argentina's campaign has been Mascherano, 'the little boss' who keeps coming up big for his country when it really matters.
The lid for the Saturday County Cup - in use since 1880 - went missing sometime between the 1960s and 1980s.
The North Riding FA issued an appeal to find it as the trophy went on display at the National Football Museum in Manchester.
The lid has now been restored after being found in several pieces in a loft in Middlesbrough.
North Riding FA chief executive Tom Radigan said: "It is a great end to a great story.
"The cup is now in the museum for all football fans to see. To be able to reunite it with its lid, so the old trophy it takes on its full identity, is wonderful."
The finder asked to remain anonymous.
One notable winner of the trophy was Arthur Wharton, the world's first black professional footballer, whose Darlington side won it in 1887.
1867: The Youdan Cup was presented to non-league Hallam FC after they won a tournament contested by Sheffield teams. It was recently valued at £100,000.
1873: The Scottish FA claims its cup is the world's oldest national trophy and association football cup. The English FA Cup started in 1871, but the trophy presented to the winners has changed several times.
1880: The Cleveland Cup, now the Saturday County Cup, is contested by teams on Teesside and the original trophy is still presented to the winners each year. The trophy is on display at the National Football Museum and will soon be reunited with its lid.
1909: The Sir Thomas Lipton trophy, won in Italy by West Auckland, was nicknamed the first 'World Cup'. The original trophy, which was presented to West Auckland after they retained it in 1911, was stolen in 1994. A replica now stands in the village's working men's club.
1938: The first FIFA World Cup was won by hosts Uruguay, with the winners presented with the Jules Rimet trophy. A new trophy was needed after Brazil was allowed to keep the original when it was crowned world champions for the third time in 1970.
Adalah and the Jerusalem Legal Aid and Human Rights Centre also requested an injunction to freeze its implementation pending a ruling by the court.
The law, passed by Israel's parliament, has been denounced by Palestinians.
Israel's attorney-general has also warned that it is unconstitutional.
Avichai Mandelblit has said he will not defend the legislation in court, and may even be called testify against it, according to Israeli media reports.
More than 600,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land the Palestinians claim for a future state. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
There are also 97 settler outposts - built without official authorisation from the Israeli government - across the West Bank, according to the Israeli anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now.
The so-called "Regularisation Bill" says settlement construction in the West Bank carried out in "good faith" and without knowledge that the land was privately owned can be recognised by the government if settlers show they received some kind of state support in establishing themselves at the site.
It allows the government to expropriate land for its own use if the Palestinian owners are unknown. If the owners are known, they will be compensated with money or an alternative plot.
Peace Now said the law would allow for the retroactive legalisation of 3,921 homes in 72 settlements and 55 outposts built on approximately 818 hectares (2,020 acres) of private Palestinian land.
On Wednesday, Adalah and the JLAC filed an appeal against the legislation with the Supreme Court on behalf of 17 Palestinian towns and villages.
"This sweeping and dangerous law permits the expropriation of vast tracts of private Palestinian land, giving absolute preference to the political interests of Israel as an occupying power and to Israeli settlers," Suhad Bishara, a lawyer for Adalah, said in a statement.
"It violates the property rights both of resident and refugee Palestinians."
Ms Bishara said the Supreme Court had given the Israeli government 30 days to respond.
Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely said in an English-language video statement: "The underlying premise behind the critics of Israel is that this is occupied Palestinian land. This premise is incorrect.
"Israel has both historic and legal rights to this land and the law reaches the right balance between the rights of the Jewish families to their homes and the right of the owners of these plots of land to get compensation," she added.
The Supreme Court has in the past annulled laws it deemed unconstitutional.
Two years ago it ordered the dismantling of the largest settlement outpost, Amona, because it was built on private Palestinian land. Amona was evacuated by Israeli police enforcing the order last week.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has described the law as "an aggression against our people that we will be opposing in international organisations".
"What we want is peace... but what Israel does is to work toward one state based on apartheid," he told reporters in Paris on Tuesday.
European Union foreign police chief Federica Mogherini warned that "should it be implemented, the law would further entrench a one-state reality of unequal rights, perpetual occupation and conflict".
US officials said they would "withhold comment on the legislation until the relevant court ruling".
President Donald Trump is seen as more sympathetic to settlement activity than his predecessor, Barack Obama, who chose in December not to veto a UN Security Council resolution declaring that Israeli settlements had "no legal validity" and were an obstacle to peace.
The by-elections in Copeland and Stoke-on-Trent Central have left politics a little clearer than before.
Labour may no longer need to fear the UK Independence Party in its heartlands, but Theresa May and her Conservatives look like they need fear no-one.
Brexit worked for the Tories in Copeland, alongside doubts about Jeremy Corbyn, and it has helped the prime minister claim to be a Tory capable of reaching people and parts of the country no Conservative leader has reached since Margaret Thatcher.
Her authority, her less easily definable aura of power, have grown.
Downing Street was already convinced they could, to put it plainly, beat Jeremy Corbyn in their sleep.
They are doubly convinced now.
So Mrs May has space to develop her big idea besides Brexit, making people who feel left out by the global economy, feel it is working for them.
Her plan to achieve that is still a work in progress.
Meanwhile, the government is still trying to manage a small voting majority in the Commons - and that will not change unless or until Mrs May wins a bigger one at the next election.
Will she be tempted to go to the country before 2020?
Dominant at home or not, Theresa May's premiership will be defined by her handling of Brexit. And that's a long struggle against Britain's European rivals and under domestic political pressure that can only increase.
The White House says that James Comey was fired for his handling of the Hillary Clinton email inquiry, but Democrats have called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate links between Russia and the Trump presidential campaign.
The BBC's North America reporter Anthony Zurcher answers your questions on what will happen next.
Why are the Democrats now saying that James Comey should stay? Didn't Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi all say that he was doing a bad job?
Indeed there are plenty of quotes from top Senate Democrats expressing dismay bordering on disgust with the way Mr Comey handled the FBI investigation into Mrs Clinton's email server.
However, most of those quotes date back to November 2016. Six months are an eternity in politics, and in the ensuing time Mr Comey has become the face of the FBI's investigation into possible ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.
While many Democrats may not have been thrilled with Mr Comey, over the past few months they've come to view him as one of the few individuals independent enough to challenge the president.
How will his successor be appointed? Will the Trump administration be the ones to dictate the position?
Donald Trump has the power to fire the director of the FBI, and he's the one who gets to hire the replacement. But it's a high-level political appointment, so whoever he picks has to be confirmed by a majority vote in the 100-seat US Senate.
Given that there are currently 52 Republicans there, as long as Mr Trump's party sticks together, Democrats will be unable to block whoever Mr Trump chooses as the nation's next top law enforcement officer.
The system is set up to insulate FBI directors from politics. They serve 10-year terms, which means their tenure is supposed to overlap multiple presidents. The last time an FBI director was fired mid-term was back in 1993. It's a rare occurrence that is fraught with political peril.
Can Mr Comey speak freely now he is out of office about these events in any subsequent hearing? Is he subject to the Official Secrets Act?
The former director is still bound by various US laws, similar to the British Official Secrets Act, that criminalise revealing classified information, as well as government policies that prohibit releasing details of an ongoing investigation.
That doesn't mean, however, that he can't shed new light on his interactions with the White House and the possible political pressure they have put him under, over the past few months, if he so desires.
Democrats are already calling for Mr Comey to return to Congress to testify about the circumstances of his firing. Mr Trump may have removed him from his post at the FBI, but he won't be able to usher him off the national stage so easily.
What does James Comey's dismissal mean for the future of the bureau?
The Trump White House, from the president down, has framed Mr Comey's dismissal as a necessary step in restoring public trust in the FBI.
It's certainly true that the former director had plenty of critics on both sides of the political divide - ones who thought the bureau would be better served with new, less politically charged leadership.
In the short-term, however, the president's move throws the FBI into chaos. The rank-and-file in the bureau were caught totally off-guard by the announcement.
The future of the Russia investigation itself is up in the air, pending further action by the Justice Department.
Mr Trump's choice for Mr Comey's successor, then, is critical. He or she is likely to be viewed with deep suspicion by Democrats, particularly if the pick has a partisan background.
The rebuilding task for the FBI will be difficult, and the Trump White House hasn't made it any easier so far.
Why did President Trump have to state in his letter firing the FBI chief that on three occasions he had assured him that he was not being investigated?
He didn't have to say that. In fact, he probably shouldn't have brought it up at all.
By saying that Mr Comey had assured him he wasn't under investigation - communications that were previously unreported and would be very unusual given the ongoing nature of the FBI inquiry - Mr Trump has effectively put a spotlight on the matter.

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

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

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

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

Piotr Pawel Nowicki, who was 62 and lived in Gartly, died after a collision involving a silver Vauxhall Insignia.
The incident happened at about 17:30 on Thursday. The road was closed for several hours to allow for investigation work.

He added: "Officers are continuing with the investigation into the collision and anyone who witnessed it and who hasn't already spoken to police is asked to contact us on 101."

It followed a referendum in May, when the Republic of Ireland became the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage by popular vote.
From Monday onwards, registrars will be able to register same-sex marriages.
Also, the marriages of same-sex couples who were legally married abroad will be automatically recognised by the state.
Same-sex couples who have already applied to register a civil partnership will be able to convert this into a marriage application.
People who are already in a civil partnership will also be able to get married within days, if they give notice of their intentions to the registrar.
However, no new applications for civil partnerships will be accepted after 16 November.
Civil partnership will only be available for a limited time for those couples who have already submitted their applications before the legislation comes into effect.
Minister for Justice Frances Fitzgerald signed the commencement order for the Marriage Act 2015 in Dublin Castle on Tuesday.
She said the new law would have a "profound symbolic importance" and a "real and tangible impact" on same-sex couples' family life.
"The Irish people blazed a trail on 22 May 2015 when they became the first sovereign people to choose marriage equality by popular vote," she said.
"They determined that Ireland should be characterised by solidarity and inclusiveness. They have reaffirmed the importance of marriage and family for our society."
In May's referendum, 62.1% people voted yes, while 37.9% voted no. | Author Jane Austen was virtually blind at the end of her life possibly as a result of arsenic poisoning, experts have revealed.

Lynn Harter found the sepia card from Edinburgh among birthday cards that came through her letterbox in Garstang.
"I thought at first a friend knowing my interest in history had sent it," the former town councillor said.
But when she examined the card closely she found it had a 1955 postmark and was addressed to a Mr and Mrs Phillipson.
The postcard of Edinburgh Castle, which was addressed to the couple at Bridgefield, Kepple Lane, reads: "I am having a great holiday here, staying with friends. The weather is good and doing lots of sightseeing. Trust you are both keeping well, my love and best wishes Madge Johnson."
Mrs Harter checked the deeds of her home to find Mr and Mrs William Phillipson bought it in 1943.
She said: "Interestingly Mrs Helen Phillipson died in 1951 so either the sender of the postcard, Madge Johnson, didn't know she'd died, or William may have married again?"
Mr Phillipson died in 1961.
Mrs Harter said: "A friend of mine who is a postman said there are several reasons it may have taken so long. It could have been found by someone who just forwarded it or it could have got lodged in an old sorting machine and only unearthed when the machine was changed."
A keen local historian, Mrs Harter found out Mr Phillipson had moved to Garstang after retiring from the police force in Bolton.
"I know he kept a horse in a stable at the back of the bungalow and I have heard stories about a former policeman who used to ride a horse bareback through Garstang," she said.
Ranmeet Ghuman registered the name derbyarena.co.uk in January 2012, just days after Derby City Council unveiled plans for a sports venue.
Mr Ghuman, of Inglewood Avenue, Mickleover, said he was willing to work with the council but officials said the row had disrupted the project.
Online dispute service Nominet decided the rights lay with the council.
The 5,000 capacity arena, which opened in March, houses a 250m cycle track, 12-court sports hall, a gym, group exercise space and a cafe.
Mr Ghuman denied council claims that "the domain name was registered for the purposes of selling it to the council".
He said he had offered to maintain and run the website at no cost to the council - in return for a fair cut of revenues.
The authority argued derbyarena.co.uk was "the logical domain to host its website" and its unavailability had forced it to put its online deployment on hold.
Nominet expert, Ravi Mohindra, said, in his opinion, it was "inconceivable" that Mr Ghuman was unaware of the council's Derby Arena plans when he registered the domain name.
He concluded the domain name amounted to an "abusive registration".
Mr Ghuman said he was "devastated" at the decision: "There has been no mention of any compensation of any kind and Nominet have been told me if I wish to dispute the case I have to pay £3,600 up front."
The council has said it will release a statement later.
Former TV journalist Mirian Dutra says Mr Cardoso arranged the $3,000 monthly payments through the firm, Brasif.
The transfers began in 2002 - a year before Mr Cardoso left office.
Mr Cardoso denies the allegations. Brasif also says Ms Dutra was paid for work she did for them and the former leader had nothing to do with it.
Ms Dutra worked as a reporter for Brazil's Globo TV for 35 years, losing her job last December.
"I don't want to take this to my grave," she said said in interview with Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper.
Mr Cardoso has acknowledged the six-year-long affair with her, which came to an end before he became president of Brazil.
Ms Dutra said their relationship ended when she refused Mr Cardoso's suggestion that she should have an abortion, which is illegal in Brazil.
After her son Tomas was born, she asked Globo TV to transfer her to Lisbon. After a few years, they moved to Spain.
Mr Cardoso supported Ms Dutra and her son abroad, she said.
But between December 2002 and December 2006 the money came from Brasif, a company that had a licence to operate duty-free shops at a number of Brazilian airports, she said.
She said she signed a fictitious contract with the company but never worked for them.
"He sent me money through this company. I have evidence," she said.
"It was all arranged by my sister's husband, Fernando Lemos, who was the top lobbyist in Brasilia at the time," added Ms Dutra.
Mr Cardoso has admitted sending money to Ms Dutra and Tomas abroad, but denies using Brasif or any other company for that purpose.
Brasif said in a statement that it hired Ms Dutra to do research on duty-free shops in European airports.
It confirmed the payments but said the former president had no involvement in their decision to hire her.
Mr Cardoso never transferred any money to the company, Brasif added.
The former president recognised the paternity of Tomas and bought him a flat in Barcelona. He says a 2011 DNA tests proved that Tomas was not his son. Ms Dutra questions the validity and accuracy of the test.
These are "largely preventable patient safety incidents" that should not happen if proper measures are in place.
There were 60 of these incidents in Wales' seven health boards from April 2012 to present.
The Welsh Government said: "Patient safety in Wales is paramount."
Items mistakenly left inside patients following surgery or procedures include vaginal swabs, a surgical blade and a silicone object.
Wrong site surgeries included the wrong joint being injected, the wrong side pleural biopsy, operating on the wrong spinal disc and the incorrect tooth being removed.
Incorrect implants or prosthesis included a hip replacement, a lens and a pacemaker.
One person was also able to fall from a window which was within reach of patients at floor level and could be opened without the use of a tool.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Every year, hundreds of thousands of people receive high-quality, safe care in the Welsh NHS.
"However, in an increasingly complicated and modern healthcare system, problems can unfortunately happen.
"When problems do occur, NHS staff are encouraged to report all incidents so they can be investigated openly to promote learning and provide open feedback to patients and their families as part of our commitment to an open safety culture."

The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) has decided to drop its investigation.
It believes members of the family of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted of the 1988 atrocity, are not actively pursuing the case.
The High Court in Edinburgh had earlier rejected a request by UK relatives for a fresh review.
In a judgment in July 2015, it ruled they could not trigger a fresh examination of the evidence.
SCCRC chairman Jean Couper said: "It is extremely frustrating that the relevant papers, which the commission believes are currently with the late Mr Megrahi's solicitors, Messrs Taylor and Kelly, and with the Megrahi family, have not been forthcoming despite repeated requests from the commission.
"Therefore, and with some regret, we have decided to end the current review.
"It remains open in the future for the matter to be considered again by the commission, but it is unlikely that any future application will be accepted for review unless it is accompanied with the appropriate defence papers.
"This will require the co-operation of the late Mr Megrahi's solicitors and his family"
Abdelbasset al-Megrahi was jailed for life in 2001 for murdering the 270 people who died in the Lockerbie bombing.
He appealed his conviction unsuccessfully once and dropped a second attempt shortly before his release from prison on compassionate grounds.
Following his death in 2012, Dr Jim Swire and some other relatives of the UK victims asked the SCCRC to take a fresh look at the case.
Earlier this year the High Court ruled that the relatives could not trigger a new appeal on their own.
In a statement published on Thursday the board of the commission said "it is not in the interests of justice" to continue the review.
Abdelbasset al-Megrahi, the only man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, went to his grave protesting his innocence.
Some UK relatives of Lockerbie victims, including Dr Jim Swire, believe he has suffered a miscarriage of justice.
They have been seeking a posthumous appeal.
In July 2015, the High Court decided victims' relatives were not entitled to instruct such a case.
But their request was supported - at least on paper - by members of the Megrahi family.
That kept the possibility of a fresh examination of the evidence open.
The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission says it has tried, without success, to get more information from the Megrahis.
The Commission says it now has "little confidence" in the Megrahi family's willingness to cooperate.
On that basis, it has refused the application for a fresh appeal. That does not prevent another request being made in future.
Aamer Anwar, solicitor for the family of Megrahi and some of the victims' relatives, said: "Those who instruct us are deeply disappointed with the commission's decision.
"However, it is hoped that once the security situation improves in Libya we will be able to pursue the SCCRC application in the hope that the Megrahi case is successfully referred back to the Court of Appeal."
Last month Scottish and American investigators were invited to question two new suspects in the case.
Mohammed Abouajela Masud and Abdullah al-Senussi, who are currently serving prison sentences in Libya, were named in an America TV documentary.
Key developments in Lockerbie bombing case
The long-running comedy series, which began with Carry On Sergeant in 1958, will return with two new films after a 24-year absence.
The first film to go into production will be Carry On Doctors, followed by Carry On Campus.
The original franchise made stars of Sid James, Kenneth Williams, and Dame Barbara Windsor.
Producer Jonathan Sothcott, CEO of Hereford Films which is behind the project, said the new entries in the franchise wouldn't be "a remake or an attempt to reinvent the wheel".
He added: "We won't be trying to find new Sids or Kenneths - we're looking to create a whole new ensemble of brilliant British comedic actors. No stunt casting. No big American stars.
"This will be British film at its best, as the truly remarkable heritage deserves."
He later tweeted that he'd been "totally overwhelmed" by all the messages about the new films.
Carry On Doctors will be written by Susan Nickson and Tim Dawson - the duo behind BBC sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
Nickson said: "I'm thrilled to be involved in perhaps the biggest comedy franchise in Britain. I grew up watching these films and to be working on this project feels like coming home. They're peculiarly British but the appeal of the humour and the ever present message that good people always win is absolutely global."
Co-writer Dawson paid respect to previous writers of the Carry On series.
"These films are a part of British culture and to be carrying on the legacy of Norman Hudis and Talbot Rothwell is a thrill and a responsibility. We intend to be sympathetic to the heritage whilst being unafraid to modernise the franchise for a whole new audience. This is, literally, my dream job."
Carry On historian Robert Ross, who is attached to the project as an adviser, said: "The saucy world of bedpans and thermometers has been an integral part of the Carry Ons for well over 50 years.
"Now, as the series carries on into the 21st Century, Carry On Doctors returns to hospital with a cast crammed full of beloved comedy actors and a hilarious script that will have you in stitches! With a kiss to the past and a firm finger on the pulse, it's time to Carry On. Again."
The last Carry On project was 1992's Carry On Columbus.
Cast and filming dates for the new films are to be announced.
The gang swapped newborn babies with the bodies of dead infants in hospitals and maternity homes, and told their parents the child had died, police told the BBC.
The babies were then sold to childless couples for between 70,000-300,000 rupees (£500-2,200; $650-$2,850).
Pakistan has seen several high-profile cases of baby abductions recently.
Police told the BBC they had received a number of complaints about stolen babies.
Some women who had given birth to healthy babies said they were told within hours that their child had died
Among those arrested were five women and two men, including a nurse, two health workers and an agent who allegedly struck the deals with childless couples.
An abducted baby girl was rescued from the gang's custody.
The gang had abducted and sold nine newborns, police said.
The government should also concentrate on providing savings incentives to the poorest, the Centre on Household Assets and Savings Management (CHASM) said.
The think tank, part of the University of Birmingham, said that 60% of lower and middle income families could not save.
That left them at risk of financial shocks and spiralling debt, it said.
Previous research by the Money Advice Service suggested that more than 16 million people in the UK had savings of less than £100. This left them at risk of getting into unmanageable debt when faced with the sudden need to spend on a new fridge or other household goods.
Meanwhile, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the City regulator, has found that, for two years running, some savers are getting an annual return of as little as 0.01%.
Some savers with £1,000 to put away are therefore earning just 10p a year in interest.
Now, a report by the CHASM think tank has argued that commercial providers should be prevented from defaulting savers onto the lowest interest rate.
Instead, they should default to a capped rate, it said.
The idea is to prevent banks and building societies luring potential savers with introductory offers then penalising them for loyalty if they subsequently fail to switch accounts.
Other recommendations include further investment in the Help to Save scheme, paid for by reducing some of the tax breaks offered to those who can save more in Individual Savings Accounts (Isas).
Employers should do more to promote save-as-you-earn schemes, it added.
Professor Karen Rowlingson, co- author of the report, from the University of Birmingham, said: "It is extremely difficult for those just about managing to save and they get very little support to do this.
"The government spends a tiny amount of money on supporting people on lower incomes to save compared to the amount it spends on schemes to support the better off. This balance needs to be shifted."
In a BBC interview, Cardinal Vincent Nichols also criticised the "self indulgent way" in which some Britons had been expressing a hatred of people they see as different.
And he urged people to learn from the faith of Muslim immigrants.
He said society had to have a "fundamental generosity and respect".
Cardinal Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster, spoke about a "them and us" attitude to the migrant crisis, which he said "denies our common humanity".
"I think the immigration crisis is real and it needs concerted effort to address it," he said.
"It needs to be addressed realistically with resources and proper legislation, but it's almost impossible to do that in an atmosphere in which fear and hatred are the dominant features."
He cited the example of migrants from Poland and Africa who had been left uncomfortable at the way "arguments around the referendum on EU membership were conducted".
He said "expressions of hatred" on social media as well as racist graffiti were "creating a culture of fear among people who have been welcomed here, never mind those for whom we do have a responsibility because of their desperate need".
Asked whether he thought politicians or the media could be blamed for his concerns, Cardinal Nichols said: "What we seem to be living with is a kind of popular leadership which is basing itself on fear. It's almost trading in fear.
"As far as I can see that is the worst kind of leadership."
He added: "Sometimes it is the media that gives an opportunity and creates an environment in which every item of news about migrants in this country is negative.
"And that is I think untrue to the reality of this country and corrosive of our best nature and our best contribution."
Cardinal Nichols leads a church that claims four million members in England and Wales, but declining attendance among Britons is being offset by a rise in the number of immigrants.
He said: "I think this country will benefit actually from the vibrancy of the Christian faith that many people bring here.
"Of course what we have to learn too is from the vibrancy of the Muslim faith that comes here."
By Martin Bashir, BBC religious affairs correspondent
When the Pope visited the small Italian island of Lampedusa in 2013, which had become the point of entry into the EU for thousands of migrants and asylum seekers, he spoke of "global indifference" towards the suffering of others.
"It doesn't affect us," he said, "It's not our business".
But fast-forward three years, and the migrant crisis is affecting the entire continent.
Cardinal Nichols' critique is a challenge to the binary account of this crisis, which denotes migrants as "them" as opposed to "us", thereby denying our common humanity.
He says that the consequence of separating people in this way leads directly to the kind of rhetoric that has seen migrants depicted as exhausting the NHS of resources, lowering wages and making no contribution to civic society.
But this kind of rhetoric doesn't simply denigrate one group of people; it may be intended to elevate those making the distinction.
The theologian Miroslav Wolf, in his book Exclusion and Embrace, says that blaming and denouncing others can seem beneficial to those casting judgment. Wolf argues that "otherizing" any group - people who may be different racially, socially or sexually, for example - gives us "the illusion of sinlessness and strength".
The cardinal believes that without a more temperate and rational conversation, the hard work of developing a coherent, Europe-wide response to the crisis is made much more difficult, perhaps impossible.

He was the first person arrested over the deadliest terror attack in the US since 9/11, and could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted.
The attacks in early December left 14 dead at a health centre in California.
Mr Marquez is charged with plotting with gunman Syed Farook to attack a university in 2011 and 2012, as well as providing the two rifles that were used by Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, in the attacks.
Mr Marquez told the authorities that he bought the weapons because he looked white, while Farook looked like he was of Middle Eastern descent.
Police killed Farook and his wife in a shootout a few hours after they open fired inside a holiday party attended by Farook's co-workers.
According to the criminal complaint, Mr Marquez phoned the authorities hours after the San Bernardino shooting and told the dispatcher that the attackers "used my gun".
Mr Marquez then divulged the earlier terror plots that were never carried out, including a plan to attack a local university where he and Farook were once students.
They had also planned to attack a motorway by dropping pipe bombs on cars and shooting people and police officers, he told investigators.
Several pipe bombs were used in the San Bernardino attack early last month, however none of them exploded.
A trial by jury for Mr Marquez is scheduled for 23 February.
On Tuesday, the FBI appealed for help from the public in piecing together the couple's movements following the attacks.
Trainee maths teacher Lorna Moore, 33, is accused of not telling authorities her husband was poised to join fighters from the Islamic State group.
The Old Bailey heard that when Sajid Aslam, 34, left in August 2014, Ms Moore kept in touch via Skype while on holiday at Butlins.
She denies a terror-related offence.
On Mr Aslam's arrival in Syria, the court heard, he sent a "triumphant" coded message to his friend Ayman Shaukat, 27, in the form of a YouTube video of a song by the band Cash Money Heroes called I Made It.
Within months, jurors heard, Ms Moore, of Glebe Street, Walsall, had booked flights to Majorca, Spain.
Prosecutors said her final destination - where she planned to take her three children - was revealed in a text from another couple heading to Syria. It said: "see you there".
In the meantime, Ms Moore had set about renting her house, selling possessions and applying for passports, the court heard.
It is alleged that Ms Moore was part of a group planning to travel to Syria to fight for IS.
Prosecutor Julian Christopher QC told jurors: "The plan was for Miss Moore to take the children via an innocuous destination to be reunited with their father."
The court heard things went awry when the couple Ms Moore had texted was arrested by Turkish police. Police then swooped on Ms Moore's Walsall home.
Mr Shaukat, of Pargeter Street, Walsall, an ex-treasurer of Walsall Islamic Centre, is accused of helping Mr Aslam, a supply teacher, travel to Syria by dropping him off at the airport.
He denies two counts of preparing for terrorist acts and one charge of possession of a terrorist document.
Ms Moore is accused of failing to disclose information about her husband's planned travel to fight for the group.
The trial continues.
About 25 other people were injured in the fire at the Virgen de Asuncion shelter in San Jose Pinula, about 25km (15 miles) south-east of the capital, Guatemala City.
Police said the blaze may have been started by some of the residents.
On Tuesday, police officers intervened after a riot broke out at the home. About 60 children escaped.
Some alleged they had been mistreated or sexually abused.
Oscar Franco, a spokesman for the volunteer firefighters, told local media: "At least 25 people were injured and transferred to hospitals and we have confirmed 19 bodies."
All those who died were aged between 14 and 17.
The fire ripped through the facility in minutes.
Nery Ramos, the head of Guatemala's national police, said the fire was started by a group of young people at the shelter.
Firefighters battled to contain the flames as desperate family members arrived at the scene to try to find their loved ones.
After the blaze, images showed burned bodies covered by blankets lying in one of the blackened rooms.
The children who fled on the eve of the fire said it was due to poor conditions and mistreatment following the riot, which left the facility damaged.
The UN children's fund in Guatemala said on Twitter it "condemns the tragedy", adding: "These children and adolescents must be protected".
Local reports say the capacity of the home is 400, but that many more children were living there at the time.
The shelter takes in children up to the age of 18 who have suffered abuse or trafficking, or have been abandoned.
But local media say the shelter was also functioning as a juvenile detention centre, to which judges were sending adolescents involved in criminal cases.
A deadly fire at a children's home in Mexico in 2009 left 49 dead.
The bodies of two men, aged 22 and 42, were found last week, one in woodland off Fenside Road, Boston, the other at a house in Union Road in the town.
Officers arrested a 17-year-old at a property on Brady Street on Friday on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.
He has been bailed until 24 May.
In a statement, the force said the men "had both been involved in the use of heroin and one line of inquiry is that they suffered an adverse reaction to a particular batch".
Lincolnshire Police said the arrest was part of a "wider investigation into the deaths."

The 44-year-old secured his first title carrying ranking points with victory in the Ruhr Open in Germany on 11 October.
Leicester-based McLeod, who first turned professional in 1991, said his success felt "amazing".
He told BBC East Midlands Today: "It's the beginning. If you really want something you have to be dedicated and in there for the long game."
McLeod, snooker's only black professional, had to win seven matches to lift the title - which came after a 4-2 win over China's Tian Pengfei in the final.
His only previous title glory was when he qualified for the Masters in 2009.
"It hasn't been easy. In this game there are a lot of downsides," he added.
"After all this amount of time it is absolutely amazing. It shows I am in it and if I want something I will stay there until I get it.
"The trophy looks sweet. I saw it on the very first day. I didn't want to look at it too much but knew I wanted it. Getting my hands on it was absolutely beautiful.
"I'm here and don't want to go anywhere."
McLeod is a devout Muslim and said his faith helped him stay composed as he closed in on victory last Sunday.
He said: "I am a Muslim first, and second I am a family man. My kids and wife mean the world to me. And then I am a snooker player.
"I felt a calm in the final. Having the thought that I could go to the final and not walk away with the title was such a horrible feeling so I had to put it to the side and not even think about it.
"You have to dismiss it immediately. You are there to win. People remember winners.
"My four kids and wife are over the moon. My children would ask 'When are you bringing a trophy home?' I would say soon - and finally I have brought one home."
The beautiful sight occurred on Monday evening.
Rainbows aren't seen in Beijing very often because of the high levels of smog and other air pollution.
In fact they are so rare, thousands of the people who spotted it uploaded lots of pictures of the rainbow via social media.
It is the first trial of alleged plotters to take place in Istanbul since the abortive coup.
Turkey has arrested some 40,000 people and sacked even more after parts of the army and police tried to oust President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The coup was blamed on US-based Islamic cleric Fetullah Gulen.
He has denied the allegations but the Turkish president has warned that the Gulenist movement is still active within Turkey.
The murder of Russian ambassador Andrei Karlov by an off-duty policeman has also been linked to Gulenists, although the gunman shouted slogans about the Syrian city of Aleppo before he was shot dead.

The human impact of Turkey's purges
Turkey torture claims in wake of failed coup
The four-day trial began on Tuesday amid high security at the large Silivri jail complex on the outskirts of Istanbul.
Twenty-one of the 29 police officers face life terms if found guilty of taking part in the failed coup. They are all accused of following Fetullah Gulen as well as failing to follow orders and carry out their duty to protect the president.
Eight of the accused face lesser sentences.
Although smaller-scale trials have taken place elsewhere in Turkey, this was the first major case in Turkey's biggest city.
The purge of suspected Gulenists has spread throughout Turkey's state apparatus. Critics accuse the government of using the failed coup to hit back at opponents.
A judge on Monday remanded in custody a cook who works at an opposition newspaper on a charge of insulting the president. The cook, Senol Buran, is alleged to have told police he would not serve President Erdogan a cup of tea.
The Silivri court where Tuesday's trial took place was first built to try top-ranking officers who were convicted three years ago of an earlier plot.
Turkish commentators say that the case, known as Ergenekon, was orchestrated by Gulenists against the military.
The 21-year-old joined the Tykes last summer from QPR following the club's promotion to the Championship, but made just seven league appearances.
He had a brief loan spell at Colchester from QPR in the 2014-15 season, featuring six times for the Essex side.
The left-sided player signed a one-year contract, with a 12-month option, at John McGreal's team.

Pte Cheryl James, from Llangollen, Denbighshire, was found with a bullet wound to her head in Surrey in 1995.
A pre-inquest review at Woking Coroner's Court was told her body was exhumed last month and metallic fragments had been recovered.
A fresh inquest into her death is expected to take place in February.
Pte James was one of four young recruits found dead with gunshot wounds at the barracks between 1995 and 2002.
The open verdict recorded at the original inquest held in December 1995 was quashed by High Court judges last year.
Coroner Judge Brian Barker QC told the pre-inquest review that Pte James' remains were exhumed and then reburied after two pathologists carried out a post-mortem examination.
He said the metallic fragments recovered would be subject to ballistic analysis.
The family of Pte James was present during a short reburial ceremony last month, Judge Barker said.
They had repeatedly called for her body to be exhumed to resolve a dispute over the ballistics evidence.
Alison Foster QC, representing the family, insisted the experts that studied the metallic fragments "ought not to have a significant connection either with the MoD [Ministry of Defence] or indeed a police force and certainly no connection with Surrey Police" owing to a "considerable shadow" over the initial handling of the case.
Of the MoD and Surrey Police, she added: "We make significant criticisms of both."
Judge Barker said "reasonable progress" had been made getting hold of witnesses but urged anyone who had previously given a statement and not been contacted during the inquiry to contact the coroner's court.
At a previous hearing, he said the full inquest would consider whether there were "shortcomings" with the barracks's policies on sexual behaviour, supervision of young females, drugs, alcohol and accommodation.
It is due to begin on 1 February and expected to last for seven weeks.
Surrey Police's request that Pte James' inquest should be heard alongside fresh inquests into the deaths of Privates Sean Benton, Geoff Gray and James Collinson was turned down in May.
It said Scottish Power Renewables' Kilgallioch project near New Luce could meet the energy needs of more than 130,000 homes.
The consent carries a number of conditions to protect the environment.
The construction of the wind farm will create about 200 jobs with 13 full-time posts once it is up and running.
The developers will also fund the employment of two countryside rangers for the "promotion, payment and management" of the Southern Upland Way over the 25 years the wind farm is operational.
Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said: "The Kilgallioch wind farm will create jobs both in its construction and during its lifetime, as well as having the capacity to supply more than 130,000 homes with renewable electricity.
"The developers will fund two countryside rangers to help people enjoy the beautiful Southern Upland Way, as well as contributing to a fund for local environmental and energy projects.
"In consenting the application, I have put a number of conditions in place to protect the local wildlife and environment and recognise that measures have been taken to mitigate the impact of the development."
The initial application for the site was for 132 turbines.
Dumfries and Galloway Council was advised by planning officers last year to "reluctantly" accept the plans.
Officials said decisions by the Scottish government on nearby developments had "undermined" its stance on wind farm developments.
South Ayrshire Council was also advised by its officers that there were insufficient grounds to oppose the scheme.
The museum was due to reopen on Tuesday morning but there will now only be a symbolic ceremony.
The museum director told Tunisian media the reasons were technical and logistical.
The reopening, less than a week after the attacks, was intended to show the gunmen "haven't achieved their goal".
There are fears the attack - claimed by Islamic State (IS) - will hit Tunisia's vital tourism industry.
The AFP news agency said that it was "security concerns" that had prompted the ministry of the interior to postpone the opening.
On Monday, Tunisia's prime minister dismissed six police chiefs.
Habib Essid's office said he had noted several security deficiencies during a visit to the museum, which houses a major collection of Roman mosaics and other antiquities.
Two of the gunmen were killed by the security forces during last Wednesday's attack, while a third is on the run, officials said.
The attack was the deadliest in Tunisia since the uprising which led to the overthrow of long-serving ruler Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.
Suspects have been arrested over the attack but just two gunmen were thought to have raided the museum.
They are said to have been trained in Libya in an area controlled by Islamic State (IS) militants.

Cradle of 'Arab Spring' under threat
The two gunmen seen in footage released by the interior ministry were named as Yassine Laabidi and Hatem Khachnaoui.
They were both killed in a gunfight with security forces inside the building.
In an interview with Paris Match, Mr Essebsi said that "shortcomings" in Tunisia's security system meant "the police and intelligence services had not been thorough enough in protecting the museum".
However, he added that the security services "reacted very efficiently" to the attack and had helped save dozens of lives.
At least 20 foreigners were among those killed in the attack, including British, Japanese, French, Italian and Colombian tourists.
Tunisia has seen an upsurge in Islamist extremism since the 2011 revolution - the event that sparked the Arab Spring.
In recent years Tunisia has been the largest exporter of jihadists in the region, and many of them end up fighting in Syria, reports the BBC's Rana Jawad in Tunis.
The Baltic Artists' Award will see a panel of four established artists pick four rising stars who are "deserving of an international platform".
The first four winners will each receive £25,000 to create new work and a £5,000 artist fee.
Their work will go on show at the Baltic from 30 June 2017.
Baltic director Sarah Munro said the prize would offer "a significant new biennial platform for nurturing emerging global talent".
She added: "The award does not impose any restrictions on age, media or nationality.
"Instead, Baltic's ambition is to offer all four nominated artists an unparalleled, step-change opportunity to make a significant new presentation with mentoring from some of the most exciting and experienced contemporary artists today."
The money for the prize is coming from the Baltic's commissioning and exhibition budget.

No-fly zones will be declared over the 10 host stadiums, as well as at training grounds, with the technology deployed for most of the 51 games.
French authorities have reportedly trained for the possibility of drones being used to disperse chemical or biological weapons over crowds.
The security move has come following last November's Paris attacks, in which 130 people were killed.
Those attacks included three explosions outside the city's Stade de France, where France were playing Germany in an international friendly.
Ziad Khoury, the head of security for Euro 2016, says the safety technology deployed can "interfere with and take control of drones".
Khoury described the technology as a "dissuasive measure that didn't exist at previous sports events".
Euro 2016 starts on 10 June and runs until 10 July.

The MoJ said the aim of the trial is to see if tagging changes the behaviour of offenders or those who order its use.
Offenders who may be targeted in the trial include those with suspended sentences or those on licence.
But the Howard League for Penal Reform called the news "bizarre" as tagging contracts are being investigated by the Serious Fraud Office.
Initially announced in this year's Queen's Speech, the pilot follows the government's failed £21m government project to create a "bespoke" tagging system.
Published on Friday, a guidance document from the MoJ and National Offender Management Service said the aim of the project is to see whether the GPS tags can "reduce further demand on the prison estate" and act as a "useful alternative to custody".
The scheme will also examine whether the technology could help to "improve rehabilitative outcomes" by reducing future offending.
The pilot will run for 12 months in two areas in England; with area one covering Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Leicester, the West Midlands and area two covering Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.
The plans will focus on offenders living in the community and are expected to include people with suspended sentences and community orders, those on early release from prison, offenders released on licence, and those subject to court-imposed bail as well as certain other cases.
Existing tagging systems in England and Wales work through either GPS or radio frequency technology.
Although the GPS technology itself will not be new, it will allow authorities to monitor the whereabouts of offenders and set 'inclusion zones' that they are not allowed to leave such as a county, or 'exclusion zones' they are not allowed to enter such as areas around an address or school respectively.
Data showing the offender's whereabouts will be monitored by a team of 24-7 staff who have the ability to contact officers and local police in the event of a breach.
An MoJ spokesperson said: "These previously announced GPS tagging pilots will increase our understanding of how new technology could be used more effectively to monitor suspects and offenders in the future. We will await the results of the trials."
But Frances Crook, chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, said: "It is bizarre for the government to be talking about extending this approach, however, at a time when tagging contracts remain the subject of an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office."
She did agree that tagging "can be a useful measure in very specific circumstances, if it is part of a highly-structured support programme to help people into a crime-free life".
However, only certain offenders - all aged over 18 - will be eligible for the scheme.
Those who do not have a fixed address, for example, will not be able to take part as the tagging equipment needs to be charged for two hours a day using a fixed supply of electricity.
People with serious mental health issues or learning difficulties might also be ineligible, the document said, because they may find it difficult to "understand the requirements or conditions" of wearing the tag.
There are also limitations to what offenders can and cannot do while wearing the tag.
They will not be able to take part in certain activities such as water sports and contact sports including football, and they may not be able to visit certain locations such as hospitals, or be able to travel by plane.
The MoJ said that while it has "budgeted for 1,500 tags across both pilot areas", it may not reach this figure and expects "a gradual build-up of active tags over several months".
But it may also increase the number of tags, it said, if it reaches this number earlier than expected.
The 27-year-old has made 89 appearances for Posh since joining from Bristol Rovers in 2014.
He has been capped once and was named in the preliminary squad for Euro 2016, but did not make the final 23.
"I am sure he'll be knocking on Michael O'Neill's door now for the World Cup qualifiers," Posh boss Grant McCann told the club website.
The document revealed a series of worries about the tourist attraction four months before it opened last year.
The council said the report confirmed the complexities and risks of a unique project on the scale of Dreamland.
Last week, an email revealed the Heritage Lottery Fund had "serious concerns" over the attraction.
The property consultant's report by Bilfinger GVA, seen by BBC South East Today, was published last February but kept confidential due to "commercial sensitivity".
It approved the partnership between Thanet District Council and park operator Sands Heritage, but warned "this project is still extremely speculative in our opinion given market conditions prevailing in this sector".
It also warned there was "a considerable risk associated with the viability of a scheme of this nature".
Richard Baldwin, the report's author, said: "In the UK there haven't been any major developments of theme parks over the last 10 to 15 years, and certainly not in coastal locations.
"So I felt I was duty-bound to provide that sort of insightful view to the council as part of that report."
Thanet council said the report had been acknowledged by the authority and its partners throughout.
It added: "The council is perfectly satisfied in following its due process and adopted the recommendations of the report."
Ornella G, 29, was charged with alleged involvement in a terrorist act and attempted murder.
Three other women are still being questioned by police, after a car packed with gas cylinders was found last Sunday close to the cathedral.
They are alleged to have been planning other "imminent and violent" attacks.
Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said on Friday that Ornella G's fingerprints were found inside the car. She was known to intelligence agents as someone who was considering going to Syria.
She was arrested in southern France on Tuesday with her boyfriend, who has since been released.
The three other women being questioned by police were arrested on Thursday with a man. Police say they were directed by so-called Islamic State.
One of them, identified as Sarah H, aged 23, had been engaged separately to two French jihadists, both now dead, who carried out attacks this year.
Another, identified as Ines Madani, aged 19, reportedly declared her allegiance to IS in a letter. Mr Molins said she had tried several times to travel to Syria.
The third woman was identified as Amel S, 39. Her 15-year-old daughter, who had been radicalised, was also taken into custody, the prosecutor said.
The women and their associates had already been under surveillance but the discovery of the gas-filled car near Notre Dame had pitted the security forces in "a race against time" to arrest them, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.
Mr Molins said the investigation of the aborted attack had led to the dismantling of a ``terrorist commando of young women'' aligned with the Islamic State group.
Bu farw Kevin a Ruth Burke, 56 a 49, Donald a Sharon Burke, 55 a 48, a Barry Burke, 51, oedd i gyd o ardal Milton Keynes yn y digwyddiad.
Wrth roi teyrnged, dywedodd merch Donald a Sharon Burke bod y "teulu wedi newid o fewn diwrnod".

Aravindan Balakrishnan, 74, has been charged with one count of cruelty to a person under 16, four counts of rape and 19 counts of indecent assault.
The suspected offences relate to three women. No further action is being taken regarding his wife arrested last year.
Mr Balakrishnan, who was arrested in Lambeth in November 2013, is due before Westminster magistrates on 17 December.
Anthony Connell, senior prosecutor at the Crown Prosecution Service, said there was "insufficient evidence" for the prospect of conviction relating to Mr Balakrishnan's wife, who was arrested at the same time.
The three alleged victims - a Briton in her 30s, an Irish woman in her 50s and a Malaysian woman in her 70s - had lived at an address in Brixton until October 2013.
A false imprisonment charge against Mr Balakrishnan relates to a 14-year period between January 1999 and October 2013.
The four rape charges span periods from 1980 to 1983, and the indecent assault charges cover periods from 1980 to 1992.
Another woman connected to Mr Balakrishnan, Sian Davies from west Wales, died aged 43 in 1997 at the house where they were living.
Thousands of excited fans - or jaded journalists - pack into grandiose events to be deafened by Coldplay or U2 and hear nervous executives read from an autocue that they are "really excited" to reveal a "life-changing" innovation that looks much like last year's model.
And yes, there was a certain amount of that at the Samsung Unpacked event in Barcelona last night. The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are what you would expect from the Korean company - extremely capable, state-of-the-art smartphones with excellent cameras.
But these days half a dozen manufacturers can build a device we would have thought miraculous a few years ago, so a company like Samsung has to do more.
And last night it did. The first clue was the Gear VR headset placed on each seat as we trooped into the vast hall.
A voice from the sound system - in between snatches of Coldplay - explained patiently how to put it on. Then during the event we used the headset twice - once for the moment of the big reveal of the Galaxy S7, where a virtual box was opened, and more impressively to demonstrate Samsung's new 360 camera.
Looking around at a Barcelona street scene with footballers playing keepy-up gave a glimpse of what users might do when they get their hands on the Gear 360 and share what they see on YouTube or Facebook.
But it was the real coup de theatre which came next. As we removed our headsets, the most famous young man in the technology world appeared on the stage.
Mark Zuckerberg is known to be an enthusiast for VR - after all he spent a chunk of Facebook's money buying Oculus Rift - but by appearing at a Samsung event and evangelising about its potential he gave a rocket-powered boost to his host's efforts in this field.
He told us how he started sketching out what seemed an unlikely vision of virtual reality from the age of 11 (which young geek didn't?) but that it was now beginning to happen.
"VR is the next platform where anyone can experience anything they want," he said."It's going to change the way we live and work and communicate."
He pictured sitting at a virtual campfire with friends around the world, watching a movie together, or sharing his baby's first steps with a 360 degree view. And of course this would become the future of social media, and Facebook - along with Samsung - would be at the heart of it.
So, an event about a couple of new phones had become a kind of TED talk about a transformational technology. What a win for Samsung, still the world's leading smartphone maker but being squeezed by Apple at the high end and cheap but very capable Chinese smartphones at the budget end of the market.
Like many others in this industry it is trying to look beyond smartphones for its growth, as profit margins get ever slimmer. Making money from its major investment in virtual reality will take time - the company is giving away a Gear VR headset to anyone who orders one of the new Galaxy S7 phones in advance.
But, with the help of Facebook's founder, Samsung managed to change the conversation about the company last night and make itself look more far-sighted than many of its rivals.
He died in the US, where he lived and had been a citizen since the 1960s.
He became famous after writing about his experiences as a teenager in Nazi concentration camps, where he lost his mother, father and younger sister.
He dedicated his life to ensuring the atrocities committed under the Nazis were never forgotten, and the president of the World Jewish Congress has called him "a beacon of light".
Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust remembrance centre announced his death on Saturday.
US President Barack Obama said Mr Wiesel was "one of the great moral voices of our time".
Elie Wiesel was born in Romania in 1928. In 1940 his town, Sighet, was part of a region that was annexed by Hungary. Four years later the town's entire Jewish population, including 15-year-old Elie and his family, was deported to Auschwitz.
Mr Wiesel's mother and one sister were killed in Nazi death chambers. His father died of starvation and dysentery in the Buchenwald camp. Two other sisters survived.
After the war, Mr Wiesel lived in a French orphanage and went on to become a journalist.
He wrote more than 60 books, starting with Night, a memoir based on his experiences in the death camps.
It included the lines: "For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living.
"To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time."
Mr Wiesel's use of the term Holocaust helped cement the word's association with Nazi atrocities against the Jews.
In 1986, he was awarded the Nobel Peace prize for his role in speaking out against violence, repression and racism.
When accepting it, he said: "Whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation, take sides.
"Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
After Mr Wiesel's death, the head of the World Jewish Congress said he was "undoubtedly one of the great Jewish teachers and thinkers of the past 100 years".
Ronald S Lauder said: "We have lost the most articulate witness to history's greatest crime.
"His passing leaves a void that will be impossible to fill. At the same time, his writings will live on."
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Elie Wiesel "served as a ray of light and an example of humanity that believes in the goodness of man".
The country's president, Reuven Rivlin, called him "a hero of the Jewish People, and a giant of all humanity", while Barack Obama said he was "not just the world's most prominent Holocaust survivor, he was a living memorial".

More than £14m will be spent expanding the quayside at Greenock's Ocean Terminal and building a state-of-the-art visitor centre.
The area will also benefit from about £9.4m being invested in a renewables hub at the Inchgreen dry dock.
And a further £4m will be spent on improvements to the A78 at Inverkip.
The projects are part of the £1.13bn Glasgow and Clyde Valley City Deal - which is backed with £500m of cash from each of the Scottish and UK governments, along with £130m from the eight local councils.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "The port at Greenock provides the gateway to Glasgow and the west coast of Scotland, and I am delighted that it may be one of the first beneficiaries of the city deal being supported by the Scottish government.
"This proposed investment in the Ocean Terminal would significantly expand cargo and cruise berthing facilities, creating and supporting local jobs.
"With passenger numbers at the terminal reaching more than 100,000 this year, this planned expansion will help cement Greenock's position as one of Europe's leading cruise liner terminals, which plays an important role in developing a thriving local economy."
Ms Sturgeon, who spoke as her cabinet visited the Inverclyde town, added: "The Scottish government recognises that cities and their regions are the engines of our economy, and we are working strategically with local authorities, such as Inverclyde, to unlock investment and stimulate growth.
"This proposed development at Greenock is just part of an infrastructure investment programme that can unlock benefits from more than £1.13bn in support being provided through what is the biggest city deal of its kind anywhere in the UK."
Inverclyde Council leader councillor Stephen McCabe said: "The cruise market through Greenock has grown substantially in recent years and sustaining that expansion is a crucial outcome of the project.
"With the expansion of the quayside and development of a new visitor facility, Greenock Ocean Terminal can continue to be a major economic and tourist boost locally in Inverclyde and in Scotland.
"The Glasgow and Clyde Valley City Deal project shows the key role local authorities play in working jointly with each other and both national governments to deliver the key infrastructure to further develop our areas."
The new service means Messenger users will be able to ask for an Uber vehicle without leaving the Facebook software.
Users will not need to download the Uber app separately.
"Uber on Messenger" began in parts of the US this week, the two firms said.
The companies announced their new venture via separate blogs.
Facebook has some 1.5 billion users globally and Uber is the world's biggest driver-hailing app in terms of financing.
If successful, the partnership between the firms will give Uber access to many new and potential clients - Facebook's Messenger app has some 700 million users worldwide.
"With the ability to request, view, and pay for an Uber ride in Messenger, taking your next ride is as simple as sending a message," Uber said on its news blog.
"You can request a ride from a car service without ever needing to download an extra app or leave a conversation," Facebook explained.
The social media giant said the new transportation function on its Messenger app was part of its ongoing development.
"More countries and other transportation partners will be available soon," it added.
Facebook also said the service would be "super easy".
"Driver status updates and payment receipts will get delivered to a private conversation between you and Uber," the firm explained.
"With everything in one place, you can seamlessly keep track of your ride and payment history."
Uber and Facebook said they would offer users their first ride for free - for a trip worth up to $20 (£13.37). Facebook said the offer would be in place for a limited time.
In April, the social media giant removed its instant messaging service from its main mobile app and said users would have to download the Messenger app in order to send and receive messages on their smartphones.
San Francisco-based Uber was founded six years ago. It has operations in about 60 countries but has faced opposition in various parts of the world.
Earlier this year, Facebook bought the messaging service WhatsApp for $19bn (£11bn).
It contracted by 0.2% compared with the previous three months, the government's statistical agency said.
However, this was not as bad as the 0.5% contraction that economists had expected.
The country, the seventh largest economy in the world, has seen economic growth fall sharply in recent years.
The slowdown is partly a result of low commodity prices, sluggish global growth and low investor confidence.
Higher interest rates and tax increases have also held back consumer spending, an important element of Brazil's economy.
The better-than-expected figure was partly due to a rise in the agricultural sector which saw an increase in coffee prices.
But that was offset by a fall in household consumption of 1.5%, the biggest drop since the credit crunch of 2008.
Brazilians are struggling to pay back debt built up during the boom years, a struggle intensified by higher interest rates.

If Brazilian authorities are right in their forecast, 2015 will see the country's worst economic contraction since 1990, when the country was still experiencing hyperinflation.
Planning minister Nelson Barbosa predicts a 1.2% drop in the GDP for 2015.
Part of Brazil's current problems are self-inflicted.
After three years of overspending, in an attempt to get the economy growing rapidly, President Dilma Rousseff has now moved towards austerity.
Many sectors that received benefits - such as labour tax breaks - are now facing steeper costs. A weaker Brazilian currency has also contributed to higher inflation, which is predicted to rise above 8% - well beyond the government's 4.5% target.
A new finance minister has a mission to get Brazil's economy growing in 2016 or 2017.
But everyone accepts that 2015 will be a year of relatively high inflation and negative growth.
The government has also reined back spending, and the figures showed a fall of 1.3% in government consumption.
A massive corruption scandal at the state oil giant Petrobras has seen the firm cut back on investment to save money, causing thousands of workers to lose their jobs.
Dozens of senior politicians and business leaders are implicated in the Petrobras scandal.
Thousand of workers have felt its impact, with dozens of small firms laying off employees and leaving contracts unfulfilled.
For example, one of Brazil's leading construction companies, Galvao, filed for bankruptcy after Petrobras stopped paying it for services. That meant a major road project Galvao was expected to complete has now been mothballed.
Economists expect Brazil's economy to continue to shrink throughout the year.
Cristian Maggio, head of emerging markets research for TD Securities, said: "The trend is for weaker growth going forward.
"Brazil is getting back into a recession."
The deficit will hit C$29.4bn (£16bn) by 2017 and balancing the books could take at least five years, the government projects.
The budget called is a departure from former the Conservative government's austerity policies.
Dropping oil prices and currency values have contributed to a weakened economy.
"This budget puts people first and delivers the help Canadians need right now," Finance Minister Bill Morneau said, addressing the House of Commons. "It is an essential step in a sustained and strategic effort to restore prosperity and optimism."
The government aims to spur growth by 0.5% in 2016-17 and by 1.0% the next fiscal year.
Mr Morneau said the government will invest in green technology projects and offer tax breaks for energy efficiency.
"Some believe we must choose between a strong economy and a clean environment. They are simply wrong," he said.
Also notable in the budget is C$8.4bn allocated over five years for the country's aboriginal population, with nearly half the money to be spent on education. The allocation is a significant increase from the Conservative budget under former Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Mr Trudeau promised during his campaign to improve relations with Canada's indigenous peoples.
The government also announced funding to sponsor 10,000 more Syrian refugees, with C$245 million (£132 million) over five years. The government hit its goal of resettling 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of February.
"The world saw the best of Canada in our response to this crisis," Mr Morneau said.
New Democrat Party leader Tom Mulcair said the Liberal budget does not do enough for indigenous children and that "promises are not being kept".
"Families across Canada are worried about their jobs and struggling to make ends meet - but today's budget told them they would have to wait longer for help," said Mr Mulcair in a statement. "The government missed an opportunity today to really deliver change."
Conservative opposition leader Rona Ambrose said the budget is a "nightmare scenario for taxpayers who will be forced to pick up the tab for today's Liberal spending spree". | A postcard sent from Scotland to Lancashire has arrived at its destination 62 years later.

The jury for the latest case had been selected but a deal was done in the early hours of the day the US trial was to begin, according to news site Ars Technica.
Unwired Planet had sought $33m (£25.7m) and a cut of iPhone and iPad sales, which it said made use of its tech.
The terms of the settlement have not been made public.
Apple had previously described the case - involving voice recognition and data transmission inventions - as being "frivolous".
Nevada-based Unwired used to develop mobile software, when it was known as Openwave Systems, but no longer makes products of its own.
It acquired the rights to the inventions involved in the case from Ericsson in a controversial deal. Rather than purchase the technologies outright, Unwired instead agreed to share future revenues generated from the patents with the Swedish telecoms equipment-maker.
That has led some to describe Unwired as a "patent troll" - although the firm's legal team described the term as "hackneyed".
"Our ambition is to bring efficiency and fairness to patent licensing and create a marketplace where product manufacturers and innovators feel confident that high quality technology is available at a fair and reasonable price," a spokeswoman for PanOptis Patent Management, which recently bought Unwired's licensing business, told the BBC.
"Over the past nine months since we acquired the Unwired Planet patent portfolio, we have actively resolved a majority of the existing litigation that had been initiated by Unwired Planet, including suits involving Samsung, LG and Apple."
Earlier this month, the firm scored a court victory over Huawei in London.
The Chinese company was ordered to pay a global fee for use of Unwired's 4G patents or face a UK sales ban.
Unwired previously won a case against Samsung involving 2G technologies.
It is also involved in disputes with Google and HTC. | Apple has settled a patent dispute with a litigant that had already beaten Huawei and Samsung in court. | 39,642,178 | 425 | 24 | false |
Abellio Greater Anglia holds the Norwich to London mainline franchise until October 2016.
Ian Edwards, of Greater Anglia Complaints, said conditions on the trains were "absolutely appalling".
The operator said while it "certainly" needed to "improve and do better" it had already taken on 40 extra cleaners.
Mr Edwards, who runs the Greater Anglia Complaints website, which highlights problems on the trains, said: "We keep a photographic log of everything from flea bites, because a lot of the seats are flea infested, to broken toilets and it is just disgusting.
"You've got practically no slack in the service so all they have time to do is a quick litter pick."
Peter Meades, of Greater Anglia, said the operator now had more than 300 cleaners employed - more than 10% of the overall workforce.
He said despite operating under a short three-year contract, Greater Anglia was spending £30m across the network on better trains and cleanliness.
"We put a lot of resource into cleaning overnight," he said. "The real opportunity to invest in the train fleet in Essex is going to start in the long franchise which will start in October next year."
He said he was not aware of any complaints concerning fleas in seats but urged passengers with concerns to contact them.
"We will follow them (complaints about flea bites or cleanliness) up immediately."
Now, with a governing majority, they've had to come up with a replacement plan - a task that has proved much more challenging than they may have imagined.
Here's a look at some key differences between the existing law, informally known as Obamacare, and the Better Care Reconciliation Act, which has been unveiled by Republican senators.
The Senate bill reflects most of the elements that were in a bill already passed by the House of Representatives, with a few changes.
Obamacare: All Americans are required to have health insurance or pay a tax penalty.
Republican plan: The mandate is repealed under the Senate plan. The House version also repealed but with the proviso that individuals who forgo health insurance for more than 63 days must pay a 30% surcharge on their insurance premiums for a year.
Obamacare: Companies with more than 50 employees are required to offer health insurance or pay a penalty.
Republican plan: This mandate is repealed.
Five big consequences of Trumpcare win
Obamacare: Raised Medicare taxes on the wealthy and imposed new taxes on medical devices, health insurers, drug companies, investment income, tanning salons and high-end health insurance plans.
Republican plan: Repeals most Obamacare taxes and delays implementation of the tax on high-end health insurance plans to 2026.
Obamacare: Requires insurers to allow children under age 26 to be covered by their parents' policies
Republican plan: Maintains this requirement.
Obamacare: Requires all insurance plans to cover certain health conditions and services, such as emergency room visits, cancer treatment, annual physical exams, prescription drug costs and mental health counselling.
Republican plan: Allows states to define what benefits are mandated, or opt out of the requirement entirely.
Obamacare: Prohibits insurers from denying coverage or charging more to individuals who have pre-existing medical conditions.
Republican plan: States can let insurers charge as much as they like to sick people. Allocates $8bn to help subsidise those patients.
Obamacare: Expanded Medicaid health insurance for the poor to cover more low-income individuals.
Republican plan: Phases out Medicaid expansion to reduce federal funding on the programme over the next decade. The CBO has yet to score how much the government would save - the House bill saved more than $800bn in 10 years, and the Senate bill makes even sharper cuts.
Also gives states greater flexibility in administering the programme in exchange for fixed federal spending.
Obamacare: Insurance companies prohibited from charging women more than men for the same health plan and must provide core services including maternity care and contraceptives.
Republican plan: Insurance companies still banned from charging women more, but states could allow insurers to drop maternity care and contraceptives from basic benefits. Also bans women from using federal tax credits to buy a plan that covers abortion.
Obamacare: Insurers can charge older Americans no more than three times the cost for younger Americans
Republican plan: Insurers can charge older Americans five times as much as younger Americans. States would also be able to set their own ratio.
Obamacare: Provided refundable tax credits for low-income individuals who purchased their insurance on government-run marketplaces and support for some out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Republican plan: Alters formula for tax credits, which will expand the benefit to more middle-class Americans but probably raise the costs for some elderly and less-affluent individuals.
It said airspace around the airport closed just after 08:00 local time (04:00 GMT) on Wednesday because of "unauthorised drone activity".
Arrivals resumed at 08:35, with full operations restarting by 09:07.
It is not the first time drones have delayed flights at the airport, one of the world's busiest.
"We remind all [drone] operators that activities are not permitted within 5km (3.11 miles) of any airport or landing area,'' Dubai Airports said on Twitter.
On June 12 a similar incident saw Dubai International Airport close for 69 minutes.
In the wake of the incident, authorities in the United Arab Emirates have announced plans to tighten the rules on buying and using drones.
Drone owners must already register with the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority.
It is all relative, of course. No F1 grand prix is without challenge and jeopardy. But Yas Marina's large run-off areas, dearth of challenging corners, manicured backdrop and predictable weather are a world away from the intensity of Interlagos.
It looks lovely on television, with its painted borders and the shimmering Yas Viceroy hotel, the race start held at sunset, and the cars glimmering under lights.
But the track itself? Well, this is what Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen said when he first experienced it in 2009: "The first few turns are quite good, but the rest of it is rubbish." Except he used a ruder word than rubbish.
It is a pleasant enough weekend. Everything works. The weather is nice, especially when the sun has gone down. But as a race track, it is unremarkable.
This seems a shame, given that it was built virtually with cost no object. Why spend all that money to come up with something so… mundane?
This is the third time in its eight years in F1 that Abu Dhabi will host the championship showdown and on the face of it, it is hard to see how Nico Rosberg cannot end the weekend with his first title.
His Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton excels in Abu Dhabi, especially in the last sector, where the sequence of right-angled corners fit perfectly with the way he brakes late and rotates the car into the corner using a combination of oversteer and impeccable feel and skill.
But to take a fourth title, Hamilton has to win the race and hope Rosberg finishes lower than third.
And on a track on which it is hard to see how any other team can challenge Mercedes, that will almost certainly take a mechanical failure. And the German, unlike Hamilton, has not had one of those all season.
BBC F1 analyst Allan McNish:
Rosberg goes to the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi on 25-27 November with a 12-point lead over Hamilton.
In pure mathematical terms, it is very difficult for Hamilton to take the title - he has to win with Rosberg lower than third.
Hamilton will go all out for the race win, and I think he will do it.
Rosberg will play the percentage game, because that is the right thing to do. There is no point taking any unnecessary risks, the risky race was Brazil.
But it is the final race, and you never quite know what will happen.
We have seen Abu Dhabi throw up a curve ball before - in 2010, when Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber were the top two in the championship and Ferrari focused so much on Webber that they let Sebastian Vettel get into a position to win the race and the title.
It is a different situation this year. There is no third contender, it won't rain and the circuit will suit Mercedes. So the race is between Hamilton and Rosberg.
But reliability and bad starts have played a role on a number of occasions this year.
Mainly, that has affected Hamilton but that's not to say that a last twist of the tale could not be in the other direction.

Storm the Russian Steppe eagle swooped through an open door of Wendy Morrell's Poole home while she was watching the French Open final.
She described the 15in (40cm) tall bird as "stunning to look at, but quite scary".
Wessex Bird of Prey Rescue later collected the bird, which was being trained to scare seagulls away from a landfill site in Corfe Mullen.
He had broken away from the perch where he was tethered after being scared off by a lorry.
Libyans are facing increasing pressure from the West to reach an agreement, with the migrant crisis adding to the clamour for a positive outcome.
The envisioned Government of National Accord has been promised unreserved support by some key EU players, including the UK, Italy and France.
Protracted dialogues in times of conflict are nothing new, but they become excruciatingly difficult to steer when there is no dominating political movement or military force. And in this case there are multiple players.
All sides are vying for a resolution that is either completely in their favour, or gives them a slight edge over their counterparts.
For the past year, the East has housed an elected parliament in Tobruk that is internationally recognised but has no real power beyond what the armed factions who back them permit.
The capital, Tripoli in Western Libya was overrun by a loose alliance of militias that resurrected a former parliament, which installed its own cabinet.
The South is a place no-one really wants to talk about, though it has witnessed some of the deadliest tribal clashes to date and is a free-falling gateway for all things illegal.
All this also provided fertile ground for the militants of the so-called Islamic State to rise and mushroom the past 10 months.
The Tobruk parliament's mandate ends in October, and there are worries that another big confrontation over control of the capital is looming if the term ends before a political agreement is reached.
Some believe that certain Libyan blocs in both camps are stalling the process precisely for that reason, with even more political and military posturing inevitable.
But this is Libya, and there are observers who argue - for good reason - that a bigger confrontation between rival militias could also be triggered if a deal is rushed.
Ahmed El-Abbar, an independent politician taking part in the dialogue, is eager to see a deal.
He said: "The fear of creating a constitutional power vacuum come October is what is now making all the parties involved expedite the process of reaching an agreement."
He remains hopeful because they have no other choice.
"The country is approaching several crises now, whether it's economical or even social."
The latest draft agreement was initialled by most of the political stakeholders in late July, but only after controversial points in it were annexed.
Since then, the Tripoli-based parliament, known as the General National Congress, has practically withdrawn from the talks.
A day before last week's round of talks in Morocco, the chief Tripoli representative at the talks resigned.
Deep rifts within the two main political camps do not bode well for any agreement.
Meanwhile, opposing sides in Libya's conflict are building up their forces and making unilateral statements that suggest they have other self-serving plans.
There have been locally-led ceasefires in some parts of the country, and some believe this provides hope for a broader "Libyan solution".
But who could lead a unity government?
It does not appear as if anyone really has a clue at the moment. But that is what will be tabled this month when all sides submit a list of candidates.
Ideally, the country needs a unifying figure; someone who is politically and ideologically neutral and willing to risk life, limb, and shelter every day until a national force that is loyal to his government is forged.
Western nations, like the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are banking that a new government of unity would ask them for help to stabilise Libya.
A European diplomat told me they envisioned establishing a "safety zone" in the capital that would protect foreign diplomatic missions using a foreign force.
That coalition would also simultaneously train a Libyan force to protect the government and its institutions.
But try asking foreign diplomats and Libyan politicians about where the "new" Libyan force candidates would be drawn from. You could hear a pin drop.
"We are looking for a minimal international footprint. We don't want to find ourselves in a position where we are drawn into combat," I am told.
But this plan is in its very early stages too.
Italy is envisioned to be the "framework nation" that would draw together the coalition.
"But we haven't even sorted out who would be a part of any foreign force," the diplomat explains.
So like everything else in Libya, there is a timing issue, and at this stage, it is on no-one's side.
The inaugural event got underway with a handful of fans at the FUFA Technical Centre as some teams complained about accommodation, claiming their players are sleeping in a hostel where eight beds are packed in one room.
Burundi beat Zanzibar 10-1 in the opening Group A game with Kenya then defeating Uganda's Crested Cranes 4-0.
Burundi showed no respect to a Zanzibar side who had a player sent off as Djazilla Uwimeza netted a hat-trick, while Maggy Mumezero and Saidi Sakina Bukuru scored two a piece.
Aziza Misigiyimana, Nella Uwimana and Joe'lle Bukuru scored the other goals for Burundi.
Zanzibar's goalkeeper Mohamed Amina Kitambi was shown a red card for handling the ball outside the box.
Skipper Abdullahi Abdallah Mwajuma scored the lone goal for Zanzibar from the penalty spot.
In the second game, Kenya took a first half lead against Uganda through Mary Wanjiru Kinuthia.
The Kenyans dominated the second half with Mbeyu Esse Akida and Vivian Corazon adding the to score-line and Akida then getting her second of the day.
"We played a tough team and we need to go back to the drawing board for our next games," said Ugandan coach Magida Nantanda.
Kenya's captain Mary Wanjiku Kinuthia said she was "excited" to start the tournament with a big win, saying it would "motivate" them going forward.
Cecafa Secretary general, Nicholas Msuonye said he was happy the event had finally started.
"Anything to do with accommodation and local transport and meals is handled by the hosts Uganda," said Musonye when asked about the off pitch challenges.
But Rogers Byamukama, the Local Organising Committee Chairman, said they had agreed to have the teams in good hostels and that is what they will try to achieve.
Action in the Cecafa Women's Championship resumes on Monday with the Kilimanjaro Queens of Tanzania facing Rwanda in Group B, a group which also includes Ethiopia.
The mayor of Viareggio, on the Tuscany coast, described his embarrassment on Facebook. Giorgio Del Ghingaro said he had not been told about the dress code.
"As it wasn't an official dinner, but one with some true friends, I felt free to dress casually," he wrote.
The Club Nautico says it regrets the incident and will give him membership.
Mayor Del Ghingaro posted a photo of his shorts in the Facebook post.
He said he was sitting at a table on the terrace with his friends when a waiter approached and "looking embarrassed he told me that, as I wasn't wearing long trousers, I couldn't remain there".
The mayor said he finally had a nice dinner elsewhere with his friends, but was hurt by the "minor assault" over his shorts. "I admit it was a bit humiliating," he said.
Muzio Scacciati, a representative of Club Nautico's management, said there were two notices about the dress code - at the main entrance and by the stairs.
The daily Corriere della Sera said he defended the rule about long trousers, to be worn in the restaurant after 7pm.
"I'm sorry about what happened and I hope we can clarify things with the mayor, to whom I intend to give a membership card," he said.
The adult bird was discovered in Chopwell Wood, near Gateshead, where the protected species was reintroduced in 2004.
Police are investigating the shooting, which has been condemned by the Friends of the Red Kite (FoRK) group.
Three red kites were found poisoned in the same area last year.
FoRK's welfare officer Allan Withrington said a red kite had also recently been shot and injured near Malton in North Yorkshire.
"That anyone could even think about shooting these beautiful, graceful birds is beyond my comprehension," he said.
"We are saddened by yet another wildlife crime and look forward to hearing the results of the police investigation."
Red kites are protected under schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and anyone found killing one can face up to six months in jail.
Mr Withrington said FoRK, which monitors red kite numbers, was working with police, the RSPB and Natural England to identify so-called "persecution hotspots" and encourage the public to report suspicious incidents close to 19 known nesting sites.
Last year about 25 red kite chicks were known to have fledged in the north east England, down from 35 the previous year.
There are about 1,000 red kites in England.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, died at a hospice on 26 July, six months after she was found unresponsive in a bath.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office in Atlanta released an initial statement ahead of the full post-mortem report - eight months after her death.
A judge in Atlanta issued an order on Thursday to unseal the report, following requests from the media.
The medical examiner's office said it reviewed medical records, investigative files and other documents to determine how Brown died.
The exam concluded cannabis and alcohol were involved in her death, along with medication used for sedation or to treat anxiety, citing the "underlying cause" of death as "immersion associated with drug intoxication".
The statement said: "Death was clearly not due to natural causes, but the medical examiner has not been able to determine whether death was due to intentional or accidental causes, and has therefore classified the manner of death as undetermined.''
The state reportedly requested the post-mortem documents originally be sealed in September 2015 in order to protect an ongoing investigation into Brown's death.
Media lawyers argued the sealing order should be lifted because it was made without a public hearing, in violation of the long-standing rules that post-mortem results are public records.
"We would hope that news agencies and the media receiving the report would do so with the discretion and dignity a family who has lost a loved one deserves," said district attorney Paul Howard, who argued for the sealing of the report last year.
"Our investigation into the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown will continue."
Brown was the only child of singer Whitney Houston; her father was R&B singer Bobby Brown.
She was buried in August at the Fairview cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, next to her mother, who drowned in a bath in 2012 on the eve of the Grammy Awards ceremony.
She spoke out after the Greens lost four councillors in local elections across England and failed to make significant gains in Wales.
Ms Bennett said they had lost "great councillors" in Oxford and Norwich.
The best Green showing came in Scotland where the separate Scottish Green Party now has six MSPs.
The results pushed the Lib Dems into fifth place after the most successful showing for the Scottish Greens since 2003.
The Green Party secured its best ever result in the London mayoral election, with candidate Sian Berry coming in third with 5.8% of the vote - up from 4.48% in 2012.
It also claimed third place in the London Assembly elections, equal to UKIP and ahead of the Lib Dems, with two London Assembly members, Caroline Russell and Ms Berry.
Elsewhere in England the Greens held six seats on Oxford City Council, but lost two, while numbers in Norwich have fallen from 14 to 10.
Ms Bennett told the BBC: "I'm very disappointed to lose some really great councillors obviously, in Oxford and Norwich, but if you look around the country, there are really positive stories, particularly in the West Midlands.
"In Solihull, Chris Williams got 75% in the vote in his seat, which is what you could call a ringing endorsement.
"More broadly, Worcester Council... fell from Tory to no overall control and there Louis Stephen fought a brilliant campaign with the Tories throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it and he won that seat... with some great ideas."
"We're very much looking to the Scottish Greens who have had a good night, doubling their representation in Holyrood, electing some great people - Andy Wainwright, a real campaign reformer - and also Ross Greer [aged 21], who's going to be the youngest MSP in the Scottish Parliament."
Voting system
The results for London were "looking very good", following Green candidate Sian Berry's "very positive campaign" compared with that of Zac Goldsmith, which Ms Bennett said had been "99% Lynton Crosby and 1% ecologist".
This was a dig at the Australian election strategist who ran the Conservative candidate's London mayoral campaign.
Asked if her role as leader had impacted on the results, Ms Bennett argued that since she took over as leader of the Green Party of England and Wales three and a half years ago, membership had increased from 12,000 to 60,000, and the party was now standing in 90% of seats, up on her aspiration of 75%.
She said also cited the first past the post voting system as being "no longer fit for purpose" and a hindrance to smaller parties.

The Panama Papers revelations have prompted the country to create an international panel to help improve transparency in its offshore financial industry.
But international organisations which investigate financial secrecy warn that Panama is not even in the top 10 countries with the least financial transparency.
They say that rich Europeans and North Americans can easily hide their money much closer to home. And this may explain why so few US residents have so far been implicated in the Panama scandal.
The co-founder of Mossack Fonseca, Ramon Fonseca, accuses richer countries of hypocrisy.
"I assure you there is more dirty money in New York, Miami and London than there is in Panama," he told the New York Times.
But is he right?
The Tax Justice Network, an independent organisation which analyses international tax and financial regulation has created a list that ranks countries according to the strength of their financial regulation and the volume of their transactions.

It's notable that Panama does not even make the top ten
"There is a double standard: many developed countries host or support jurisdictions where there is an absence of financial transparency," says Alex Cobham of Tax Justice Network.
Switzerland leads the ranking with its almost impenetrable tradition of secrecy in banking, even if - under international pressure - it has recently made some concessions towards identifying the owners of accounts linked to international tax evasion investigations.
Hong Kong follows hot on Switzerland's heels in the ranking. The former British colony, now a special administrative region of China, is of "great concern", according to the Tax Justice Network.
The Panama Papers reveal that nearly one third of Mossack Fonseca's business came from its offices in Hong Kong and China - making China the firm's biggest market and Hong Kong the company's busiest office.
Hong Kong allows so-called bearer shares, which facilitate the movement of funds without knowing to whom the money belongs.
Within US borders and just a stone's throw from the White House, the east coast state of Delaware is home to around 945,000 firms, which equates to almost one for each resident.
Delaware is one of four US states - the others are Nevada, Arizona and Wyoming - that have been criticised for their lax financial regulation. Many of the firms are suspected of being "ghost companies".
Transparency International, an anti-corruption campaigning movement, describes the state as a "transnational crime haven".
President Obama told a debate in New Hampshire in 2008 about the case of Ugland House, a building in the Cayman Islands which he said hosted 12,000 companies.
"That's either the biggest building or the biggest tax scam on record," the President said. Ugland House's own website now says the building is the registered office of 18,000 companies.
Although the Cayman Islands are self-governing, they are a British Overseas Territory.
The Tax Justice Network's Alex Cobham suggests that if such dependencies are included in the British ranking, it would place the UK at the very top of the list.
Another UK Overseas Territory - the British Virgin Islands - features strongly in the Panama Papers. More than twice as many companies involved in the leak are registered there than in Panama.
Panama is not the only country which has promised to take action to improve its financial transparency.
The leaders of the G8 major economies agreed new measures to clamp down on money launderers, illegal tax evaders and corporate tax avoiders at a summit in 2013.
The summit communique urged countries to "fight the scourge of tax evasion".
Developed countries may have their work cut out for them, however.
Jason Hickel of the London School of Economics estimates that tax havens collectively hide a sixth of the world's total private wealth.
Scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography documented the big rise when they trawled the waters off California.
They were able to compare their plastic "catch" with previous data for the region.
The group
reports its findings in the journal Biology Letters
.
"We did not expect to find this," says
Scripps researcher Miriam Goldstein
.
"When you go out into the North Pacific, what you find can be highly variable. So, to find such a clear pattern and such a large increase was very surprising," she told BBC News.
All the plastic discarded into the ocean that does not sink will eventually break down.
Sunlight and the action of the waves will degrade and shred the material over time into pieces the size of a fingernail, or smaller.
An obvious concern is that this micro-material could be ingested by marine organisms, but the Scripps team has noted another, perhaps unexpected, consequence.
The fragments make it easier for the marine insect
Halobates sericeus to lay its eggs out over the ocean.
These "sea skaters" or "water striders" - relatives of pond water skaters - need a platform for the task.
Normally, this might be seabird feathers, tar lumps or even pieces of pumice rock. But it is clear from the trawl results that
H. sericeus has been greatly aided by the numerous plastic surfaces now available to it in the Pacific.
The team found a strong association between the presence of
Halobates and the micro-plastic in a way that was just not evident in the data from 40 years ago.
Ms Goldstein explained: "We thought there might be fewer
Halobates if there's more plastic - that there might be some sort of toxic effect. But, actually, we found the opposite. In the areas that had the most plastic, we found the most
Halobates.
"So, they're obviously congregating around this plastic, laying their eggs on it, and hatching out from it. For
Halobates, all this plastic has worked out well for them."
Ms Goldstein and colleagues gathered their information on the abundance of micro-plastic during the
Scripps Environmental Accumulation of Plastic Expedition (Seaplex)
off California in 2009. They then compared their data with those from other scientific cruises, including archived records stretching back to the early 1970s.
Plastic waste in the North Pacific is an ongoing concern.
The natural circulation of water - the North Pacific Gyre - tends to retain the debris in reasonably discrete, long-lived collections, which have popularly become known as "garbage patches". In the north-eastern Pacific, one of these concentrations is seen in waters between Hawaii and California.
This Scripps study follows another report by colleagues at the institution that showed 9% of the fish collected during the same Seaplex voyage had plastic waste in their stomachs.
That investigation, published in Marine Ecology Progress Series, estimated the fish at intermediate ocean depths in the North Pacific Ocean could be ingesting plastic at a rate of roughly 12,000 to 24,000 tonnes per year.
Toxicity is the issue most often raised in relation to this type of pollution, but Ms Goldstein and colleagues say broader ecosystem effects also need to be studied.
The abundance of ocean debris will influence the success, or otherwise, of "rafting communities" - those species that are specifically adapted to life on or around objects floating in the water.
Bigger creatures would include barnacles and crabs, and even fish that like to live under some kind of cover, but large-scale change would likely touch even the smallest organisms.
"The study raises an important issue, which is the addition of hard surfaces to the open ocean," says Ms Goldstein.
"In the North Pacific, for example, there's no floating seaweed like there is in the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic. And we know that the animals, the plants and the microbes that live on hard surfaces are different to the ones that live floating around in the water.
"So, what plastic has done is add hundreds of millions of hard surfaces to the Pacific Ocean. That's quite a profound change."
Ms Goldstein's co-authors were Marci Rosenberg, a student at the University of California Los Angeles, and Scripps research biologist emeritus Lanna Cheng.

Brendan Conway, 28, admitted 13 charges, including causing or inciting children to engage in sexual activity and possession of indecent photographs.
He denied five other charges, which would lie on file, prosecutors told Derby Crown Court.
He was remanded into custody and is due to be sentenced on 24 August.
The offences date back to 2012, the court heard.
The street dancer, of Border Crescent, Alvaston, Derby, had appeared on television dance show Got to Dance, as an extra in the movie Streetdance 3D, and was due to appear on Britain's Got Talent.
Conway was also a football coach with a youth team in Derby and had worked as a chef.
The stark warning comes from Richard Baldwin, president of the Centre for Economic Policy Research think-tank, who has been studying global trade for the past 30 years.
Technological advances could now mean white-collar, office-based workers and professionals are at risk of losing their jobs, Prof Baldwin argues.
In the US, voter anger with globalisation may have led to Donald Trump's election victory, but those who voted for him could be disappointed as his aim of bringing back jobs is unlikely to work, says Prof Baldwin, who also worked as an economist under President George HW Bush.
Protectionist trade barriers won't work in the 21st Century, he says. "Knowledge crossing borders in massive amounts [is the] big new disruptive thing."
It's going to help people in Africa and Asia compete more effectively with people in the West, as communication advances mean workers in the developing world will be able to control robots to do jobs in Europe and the US at lower cost, he says.
Developing world labour costs can be a tenth of what they are in the West, says Prof Baldwin.
"They can't get here to take the jobs but technology will soon allow virtual migration, thanks to telerobotics and telepresence."
Ever-faster internet speeds becoming globally more widely available, coupled with the rapidly falling prices of robots will allow workers, for example in the Philippines or China, to remotely provide services to a country like the UK - where the sector accounts for about 80% of the economy.
"What it will do is unbundle our jobs and change the nature of our occupation. Some of the things you do absolutely require your judgement - but parts of your job could be off-shored, just as some stages in a factory can be off-shored.
"All you need is more computing power, more transmitting power and cheaper robots - and all that is happening."
Security guards in US shopping malls could be replaced by robots controlled by security personnel based in Peru, and hotel cleaners in Europe could be replaced by robots driven by staff based in the Philippines, he argues in his book The Great Convergence.
The use of robots has grown exponentially since the mid-20th Century.
A typical industrial robot can cost about £4 an hour to operate, compared to average total European labour costs of about £40 an hour - or £9 an hour in China. And robots are getting cheaper to buy and are increasingly able to do more complex tasks.
This means the increased use of robots is also threatening millions of jobs in developing countries, says the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad), as well as in developed economies.
And it's not just in factories; the worldwide number of domestic household robots will rise to 31 million between 2016 and 2019, says the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), with sales of robots for cleaning floors, mowing lawns, and cleaning swimming pools forecast to grow to about $13bn (£10.3bn) in this period.
In the 19th Century, the first wave of the industrial revolution triggered an upsurge in global trade. Steam power, the end of the Napoleonic wars and the subsequent era of peace cut the costs of moving goods internationally.
Global wealth became increasingly concentrated among just a few nations; the G7 group - the US, Germany, Japan, France, the UK, Canada and Italy - saw their share of the world's wealth rise significantly.
But from the 1990s a second wave of globalisation kicked in, with the rise of information and communications technology. There's been a dramatic change of gear, and "a century's worth of rich nations' rise has been reversed in just two decades," says Prof Baldwin.
Old-style globalisation "worked on a calendar that ticked year by year" whereas the current wave of globalisation is being driven by IT which is changing and disrupting economies and societies with increasing rapidity, he says.
All of this has created a backlash, especially in developed economies, as many voters say they are losing out or seeing little of the benefits that globalisation supposedly brings.
Prof Baldwin says protectionist policies, such as those of Donald Trump, are ultimately counterproductive. If firms become inefficient by being forced to move jobs back to the US, then ultimately they will lose their business to international competitors.
"People are so angry they are doing things that are not in their own interest.
"Cures are being sold which are not related to the problem."
He points out that the backlash is not the same in every single country. It often depends on how governments deal with workers who may be displaced by technology.
"For instance, in Japan they take care of their workers, and there really isn't an anti-globalisation feeling there," he says - unlike in the UK and the US.
As a consequence, even businesses that are benefiting from greater automation are increasingly sensitive about the potentially negative social and political consequences.
Similarly, in Europe the bosses of both Deutsche Telekom and Siemens have advocated paying a basic income to workers replaced by technology.
We may see a move to protectionism as countries try to preserve jobs within their economies, but this is unlikely to work in the long term, says Prof Baldwin.
The trick is to accept "21st Century reality", he says, and the fact that many jobs simply aren't going to come back.
Governments need to pay more attention to social policy, says Prof Baldwin. "In the post-war period of globalisation we liberalised trade but at the same time we expanded social welfare - instituted low-cost education and retraining for workers.
"In essence there was a set of complementary policies that reassured workers that they would have a good chance of taking advantage of globalisation."
The challenges all this is throwing up for governments are many, but Prof Baldwin says it should be possible to develop policies that embrace globalisation - and give workers displaced by it the support they need.

Firefighters tackled the blaze at the 75-storey Sulafa tower in the built-up Marina district, while burning debris floated to the ground.
Residents have been asked to leave the building. The cause of the fire is not yet clear.
The government tweeted that it took less than three hours to put it out.
There have been fires in multiple buildings in Dubai in recent years.
On New Year's Eve, a 63-storey residence block caught fire and 16 people suffered minor injuries.
The United Arab Emirates revised a safety code in 2013 so that new buildings over 15m (50ft) tall must have fire-resistant exterior cladding, but the rule does not apply to older buildings.
Neighbour Nora Maki told the Associated Press news agency that the flames "spread like wildfire" but firefighters did "an amazing job" getting them under control.
Hales, 27, has made 238 appearances in all competitions for Notts since making his debut in 2008.
The extended deal at Trent Bridge comes after Essex requested to speak to the batsman in July.
"It's always a boost when someone like Alex commits his future to the club," director of cricket Mick Newell said.
"He's a player our members and fans love to watch as he scores heavily and does so in such an entertaining way."
Hales is seventh in the batting world rankings in Twenty20 cricket, making 88 international appearances and scoring seven fifties and a century since his England debut in 2011.
He most recently featured for England in the drawn Test series against Pakistan and will play in the one-day series starting Wednesday.
"Regardless of what happens on the international stage, there's going to be a period of county cricket early in 2017 in which he's very likely to be available, so that's something to look forward to," Newell added.
A report to NHS Dumfries and Galloway seeks approval of its five-year revenue plan up to 2021.
However, it highlights a string of challenges in finding the final £2m of savings in an overall target of £12.7m.
The board is required to deliver a five-year plan rather than a three-year one due to the major capital investment in a new general hospital in Dumfries.
The report flags up ongoing work to develop "innovative solutions" to find the savings needed to break even in 2016/17.
It stresses that opportunities to make operational savings have diminished to the point that the only viable options are in areas considered very high risk.
At the same time, NHS Dumfries and Galloway is said to be facing other financial pressures including increased prescribing costs.
The future opening of the new district general hospital, which is currently under construction in Dumfries, is also said to carry significant budget risks.
Potential pressure areas include the financial impact of running dual services during the transition process and a potential increase in costs required to meet the staffing requirements of a new clinical care model.
The move means people will be able to call a confidential helpline to ask to be refused service at 36 participating shops, regardless of the operator.
Previously, gamblers could only exclude themselves from one betting shop at a time.
They were also required to fill in forms for each different operator.
The scheme, which is running for the first time in Scotland, will allow people to choose which shops they want to be excluded from, such as those close to their homes or workplaces.
It will only be available to gamblers in Glasgow city centre, but people will be able to exclude themselves from shops outside that area with participating bookmakers.
The helpline will also provide information on how to get help and counselling to deal with a gambling problem.
The three-month pilot will be launched by participating bookmakers, alongside the Association of British Bookmakers (ABB) and Glasgow city councillors.
ABB chief executive Malcolm George said: "This is a very important step towards helping problem gamblers in Glasgow stay in control, and get the help they need.
"High street betting operators want all customers to enjoy their leisure time and gamble responsibly.
"We also want to help those who may be getting into difficulties, and this scheme is a big step forward to achieving that. In addition, it will directly shape the UK-wide scheme that will begin next year."
Councillor Paul Rooney, Glasgow's city treasurer and chairman of a cross-party group on gambling, said: "We simply don't know enough about how problem gambling affects individuals, families and communities - either here in Glasgow or anywhere else in the UK.
"However, this project breaks new ground in terms of the industry sharing information, both between operators and, crucially, with their regulator.
"Only time will tell if it will offer more effective support for Glaswegians who are struggling with their gambling here and now - but I also want to ensure the city uses this opportunity to gain a better understanding of who finds their gambling become a problem, how they try and cope with that, and to what extent they are able to bring it under control."
In the South West region, 23,000 votes went to a new Eurosceptic party called An Independence From Europe.
The group was formed earlier this year by former UKIP members including ex-MEP Mike Nattrass.
UKIP protested to the Electoral Commission at the time and has not ruled out seeking a judicial review.
Mr Nattrass, who was deselected by UKIP in 2013, previously defended his choice of name for the party, arguing: "UKIP does not have sole right to the word independence."
The new party, whose name appeared first on the alphabetical-order ballot paper, put up a full slate of candidates and came seventh with 235,124 votes, or 1.5% of the total cast.
That put it ahead of more established parties including the BNP and the English Democrats, although it got no MEPs elected,
A spokesman for the Electoral Commission said in April the watchdog did not believe that either the name of Mr Nattrass's party, or its description, were confusing or offensive - which are the key legal tests political parties have been made to pass before they can compete in elections since a change to the law in 1998.
At least two other UKIP defectors failed to get elected - Marta Andreasen in the South East region, standing as a Conservative and Nikki Sinclaire in the West Midlands, standing for the We Demand A Referendum party.
From April to the end of December 2014, there were 677 reported cases, compared with 554 for the whole of 2013-14 and 628 in 2012-13, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) said.
Criminals are charging up to £1,800 to sit an exam, according to the Times.
The DVSA said this type of crime was a serious offence, but extremely rare.
The figures, which were released following a Freedom of Information request from the newspaper, show 188 arrests have been carried out so far in 2014-15.
There have been 55 convictions for fraud offences, 37 people have been jailed and 97 driving licences revoked.
In 2011-12, there were 816 reported cases of driver fraud but with three months remaining of the 2014-15 financial year, that figure could be surpassed.
In 2004, on the other hand, just 158 impersonation cases were detected.
The DVSA says approximately 1.5 million written tests and 1.6 million practical driving tests take place every year.
The figures for the number of arrests and convictions include test candidates, as well as the impersonators or others implicated in the scam, it adds.
Alastair Peoples, chief executive of the DVSA, said such criminal activity "puts innocent road users at risk".
He said: "We have stringent measures in place to detect fraudulent activity and work closely with the police to bring all offenders to justice."
The BSM driving school said the fraudsters were also putting themselves in danger.
BSM head Mark Peacock added: "The process of learning to drive and taking the test can seem a lot to take on, but it is nothing compared to someone faking a test pass and then attempting to teach themselves once they have passed their test. The test is there for a reason."
UK authorities investigating the MQM for alleged money laundering also found a list of weapons in an MQM property.
A Pakistani official has told the BBC that India has trained hundreds of MQM militants over the last 10 years.
The Indian authorities described the claims as "completely baseless". The MQM said it was not going to comment.
With 24 members in the National Assembly, the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) has long been a dominant force in the politics of Pakistan's largest city, Karachi.
British authorities held formal recorded interviews with senior MQM officials who told them the party was receiving Indian funding, the BBC was told.
Meanwhile a Pakistani official has told the BBC that India has trained hundreds of MQM militants in explosives, weapons and sabotage over the last 10 years in camps in north and north-east India.
Before 2005-2006 the training was given to a small number of mid-ranking members of the MQM, the official said.
More recently greater numbers of more junior party members have been trained.
The claims follow the statement of a senior Karachi police officer that two arrested MQM militants said they had been trained in India. In April Rao Anwar gave details of how the two men went to India via Thailand to be trained by the Indian intelligence agency RAW.
In response MQM leader Altaf Hussain issued a tirade of abuse at Rao Anwar.
Asked about the claims of Indian funding and training of the MQM, the Indian High Commission in London said: "Shortcomings of governance cannot be rationalised by blaming neighbours."
The UK authorities started investigating the MQM in 2010 when a senior party leader, Imran Farooq, was stabbed to death outside his home in north London.
In the course of those inquiries the police found around £500,000 ($787,350) in the MQM's London offices and in the home of MQM leader Altaf Hussain. That prompted a second investigation into possible money laundering.
Pakistan's powerful but absent politician
In the course of the inquiries the UK authorities found a list itemising weapons, including mortars, grenades and bomb-making equipment in an MQM property, according to Pakistani media reports that the BBC believes to be credible. The list included prices for the weapons. Asked about the list, the MQM made no response.
As the UK police investigations have progressed, the British judiciary has been taking an increasingly tough line on the MQM. Back in 2011 a British judge adjudicating an asylum appeal case found that "the MQM has killed over 200 police officers who have stood up against them in Karachi".
Last year another British judge hearing another such case found: "There is overwhelming objective evidence that the MQM for decades had been using violence."
The MQM is also under pressure in Pakistan. In March the country's security forces raided the party's Karachi headquarters. They claimed to have found a significant number of weapons there. The MQM said they were planted.
The party has a solid support base made up of the Mohajirs, or refugees who left India at the time of partition so that they could settle in Pakistan.
The Mohajirs complain that they have been the subject of sustained discrimination in Pakistan. The MQM insists it is a peaceful, secular party representing the interests of the middle classes in Pakistan.
As well as its electoral base, the MQM has formidable street power. When it orders a strike the streets empty and the whole of Karachi grinds to a halt.
Altaf Husain has lived in self-imposed exile in the UK for more than 20 years. He was given a British passport in 2002. For many years the party has been accused of using violence to impose its will in Karachi.
A number of MQM officials, including Altaf Hussain, have been arrested in relation to the money-laundering case but no-one has been charged. The party insists that all its funds are legitimate and that most of them come from donors in the business community in Karachi.
India has long accused Pakistani officials of involvement in sponsoring militant attacks in India. Delhi, for example, has demanded that Pakistan take firmer action against those suspected of plotting and managing the Mumbai attacks of 2008.
The latest developments in the MQM case suggest that Pakistan will now counter such complaints with demands that India stop sponsoring violent forces in Karachi.
Fusilier Llywelyn was selected from the Royal herd on Llandudno's Great Orme and has been prepared for Army life.
He will live at the regiment's base at Lucknow Barracks, Wiltshire, and will accompany them on ceremonial duties.
His appointment follows the death of the 2nd Battalion's L/Cpl Gwillam 'Taffy VI' Jenkins in May last year.
Fusilier Llywelyn has completed basic training under Goat Major Fusilier Matthew Owen, from Anglesey, and his first duty will be to lead a parade at an event to commemorate the 1879 Battle of Rorke's Drift.
The regiment said he was chosen following an "arduous survey" of the wild herd and he had stood out after demonstrating "more promise than the others".
His daily routine will see him exercised by the Goat Major and inspected to check cleanliness and wellbeing.
Along with his regimental duties, he has been invited to parade in London for the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations and will also spend the summer with B (Rorke's Drift) Company as part of the guard at Buckingham Palace.
The Royal goat tradition began in 1844 when Queen Victoria presented the Royal Welch Fusiliers with its first one, but it is believed the animals have been part of parades since the 1700s.
Their conclusion could be of vital importance, in what has been a landmark case - but it may not have made riveting viewing for many.
The case, raised against the Liberal Democrat MP by four of his constituents, was broadcast and streamed online live from the Court of Session in Edinburgh, sitting as a special Election Court.
A broadcast coming live from inside a Scottish courtroom is rare spectacle indeed - but as one online commentator noted, it was hardly an episode of Judge Judy.
There were no sweaty-palmed witnesses, no terse cross-examination, no bewigged lawyers shouted "objection" or paced up and down before a jury.
Even Alistair Carmichael himself wasn't there, leaving matters in the hands of Roddy Dunlop QC while he was at Westminster, carrying on the day job some of his constituents want to see him ejected from.
An initial outburst of enthusiasm and interest on social media turned to bemusement in some quarters as legal precedent from 1886 was cited and minutes of Victorian-era standing committees were pored over.
"Somebody set off the fire alarm," one tweeter implored.
But do not be fooled by the seemingly dull, dry exterior, this was an important moment, made up of important debate.
As Mr Dunlop noted, the potential consequences of this inquiry could be profound.
Not only could it see an MP disqualified from office, it was suggested such cases could even potentially lead to criminal charges, should the Crown choose to pursue them.
And these are not just consequences for Mr Carmichael; the outcome of this case could have an impact on the way all political campaigns are run, and the way the country's political debate is conducted.
Mr Dunlop put it that "we would have to strap future candidates into lie detectors and administer a truth serum".
He also suggested there could be a lot more courts of this kind, rather than one every 50 years - although his opposite number, Jonathan Mitchell QC, said this seemed "highly unlikely".
This was not a trial of facts; it was essentially a legal debate over the applicability of the Representation of the People Act to the case at hand.
Broadly, the facts of the matter were never in dispute.
Prior to the General Election, Mr Carmichael sanctioned the leak of a memo about the first minister, then denied doing so in a television interview.
No complaint was raised over the leak itself. It was Mr Carmichael's denial. As Jonathan Mitchell QC, representing the petitioners, put it: "It's not the original sin that matters, it's the cover up."
Section 106 of the 1983 Act stipulates that a person who, during an election or for the purpose of affecting the return of a candidate, "makes or publishes any false statement of fact in relation to the candidate's personal character or conduct shall be guilty of an illegal practice".
So in the argument of the petitioners, represented by Mr Mitchell, Mr Carmichael's false statement was in relation to his own personal character or conduct, and he was attempting to affect his own return as a candidate by denying knowledge of the leak.
The debate hinged on three distinct points of law.
Firstly, it was contested whether the false statement required by the Act had to be a disparaging remark aimed at another candidate, as Mr Dunlop submitted, or if it could be a "laudatory" talking up of oneself.
Delving into Hansard Parliamentary records, Mr Dunlop said there was a "very clear statement" that the Act was "designed to strike against the disparaging of others", and said it would have been easy for the statute to make it clear if it was meant to apply to candidates speaking of themselves.
However, producing case law of his own, Mr Mitchell submitted that the wording of the Act was wide enough to encapsulate "self-talking".
He said there was "simply no reason to make such distinction" between false statements about oneself or others; "why on Earth", he asked, should they not be equally penalised?
Secondly, the line between a political attack and a personal one, as defined by the "personal character or conduct" line of the Act, was also debated.
Mr Dunlop said this was a binary position.
He claimed statements are either political or personal, and "it is as clear as clear could be" that what Mr Carmichael said was about politics.
Mr Carmichael was being questioned in his capacity as Scotland Office minister on Channel Four news when the false statement was made.
"We couldn't get a more public or more political context," Mr Dunlop said.
However, Mr Mitchell said Mr Carmichael's denial was a personal matter.
He said it was "fundamentally dishonourable conduct" to leak a secret document, a "wilful and dishonourable breach of duty" beyond politics.
Mr Mitchell said the politician had put his reputation on the line by denying knowledge of the memo.
The QC said nothing in politics, other than the election, called on Mr Carmichael to lie.
Even if driven by political motive, the betrayal of confidence and betrayal of secrets if essentially personal, he said; "no-one goes to the electorate on the platform that 'your secrets are not safe with me'."
The third issue being debated was whether the false statement was made for the purpose of affecting the return of a candidate at the election.
Mr Dunlop said the petitioners had fallen short of proving this motive.
Mr Carmichael's QC also claimed they had muddied the waters by making claims about the election as a whole, while the Act would only apply to an individual constituency poll.
But Mr Mitchell said it was clear that if Mr Carmichael was trying to affect his own electoral chances, he was by extension affecting those of other candidates.
Why did he deny leaking the document, if not to affect the election, he asked?
Having heard two days of complex legal debate, Lord Matthews and Lady Paton declared the case "avizandum", which means they are going to go away and think about it.
Should they back Mr Carmichael on any of the three points, the case could collapse.
A lot rests on their decision; not just in the present case, which could see Scotland's one remaining Liberal Democrat MP ejected from office, and a by-election, but in setting a precedent for future cases.
Their remit as the judges of an Election Court is different to that of a normal Scottish court.
The Election Court is "akin to a committee of the Commons", and reports back to parliament, so there will be careful examination of their own role, as well as the arguments put forward.
Mr Carmichael and his constituents will not be the only ones anxiously awaiting the outcome.
He is the second man to be arrested in connection with robberies in Linlithgow, Cowdenbeath, Burntisland and Kincardine on Monday.
The second man has also been charged with robberies in Larkhall on 23 December, Glenboig on 6 January and Clarkston on Monday.
Two men, 28 and 38, are due to appear at Dunfermline Sheriff Court later.
Det Insp Colin Robson, of Police Scotland, said: "Thanks to the combined efforts of officers from four territorial divisions, as well as specialist resources, two men have now been charged in connection with these incidents and we're not currently looking for anyone else.
"I want to again commend the staff involved for their assistance following these distressing incidents, as well as thank the local communities and everyone who came forward with information for their support."
Addressing the Commons, the home secretary also denied allegations the government knew before Wednesday there would not be enough guards.
Labour said it was "incomprehensible" Mrs May had not known earlier.
It comes after G4S admitted it would fall short last week, with 3,500 extra troops now being deployed for security.
Meanwhile, it has also emerged that police have had to deploy extra officers from eight UK forces to do Olympic security work.
Mrs May was answering an urgent question from Yvette Cooper MP, the shadow home secretary, on "security arrangements for the Olympic Games in light of the inability of G4S to deliver its contract".
During the day
athletes and officials have been arriving at the Olympic Village
with Heathrow Airport experiencing its busiest day on record, and the first priority "Games Lane" in operation.
Speaking to BBC Newsnight, Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said it was not time for a "witch hunt" against G4S.
"What we actually want is for G4S to deliver on what they say they can deliver."
In her statement to MPs, Mrs May insisted the government had reacted quickly when it discovered G4S was in difficulty.
"G4S only told the government that they would be unable to meet their contractual arrangements last Wednesday and we took immediate action," she said.
She also denied G4S had "deliberately deceived" the government, insisting the firm's problem was "workforce supply and scheduling".
Mrs May did not confirm how many staff G4S would now provide, but added the government was "on course to deliver a safe and secure Games that everybody will enjoy".
But Labour's Yvette Cooper said Mrs May should have known about the problem.
"Even G4S say they have been discussing the detailed shortfall for eight or nine days, yet last Monday the home secretary told the House she was confident our partners will deliver.
"It is incomprehensible that monitoring was that poor that no one told her until Wednesday," she said.
"How on earth could the minister responsible for delivering Olympic security be the only person who didn't know?"
Ms Cooper also told MPs Tory London Mayor Boris Johnson had admitted the problems were known about "ages ago", and his deputy Stephen Greenhalgh had claimed security concerns had been raised "repeatedly".
G4S, whose shares have fallen by 9% since the problems arose, said security was being tightened at venues before "the full complement of accredited staff have been assigned".

It said: "Some venues are being supported by police in the short term, while the private security workforce is being mobilised.
"This situation is being rectified over the coming days, which should lead to the withdrawal of police from those roles assigned to private security."
Earlier, Manchester police had to deploy officers to provide security at a hotel in Salford where four Olympic football teams will stay - after only 17 of an expected 56 G4S staff turned up for work.
Police said there had been no failure to provide security for athletes.
But Paul Murphy, chairman of Greater Manchester Police Authority told the BBC using staff on rest days had cost the force £30,000 a day.
The prime minister's official spokesman refused to be drawn on when David Cameron was aware of G4S's Olympic recruitment failings, but said he was involved in the decision to deploy extra soldiers.
On the issue of the cost of the unscheduled call-up to the armed forces, the prime minister's spokesman said: "We are very keen to make sure absolutely no one loses out.
"G4S have been clear they will meet the costs."
Mrs May told the Commons last week that there were penalties written into the G4S contract but did not give details.
Late on Friday, G4S said it faced a £35m-£50m loss on the £284m contract after failing to recruit enough security guards for the Olympics.
There is now speculation that G4S chief executive Nick Buckles - who is due to appear before the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee on Tuesday - could lose his job, after chairman John Connolly hinted that senior heads could roll.
Mr Buckles admitted he was "bitterly disappointed" at his company's failure to meet the terms of the contract.
Principal among them were HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Nomura and Societe General, Global Witness said.
The banks refused to say whether they held, or are still holding, the funds.
All the assets have now been frozen by the European Union and United Nations.
The document, dated June 2010, showed that HSBC held $292.7m (£179.9m) in 10 cash accounts, with a similar amount invested in a hedge fund, while Goldman Sachs had $43m in three accounts.
Almost $4bn was held in investment funds and structured products, with Societe General alone holding $1bn.

Peston: Where Libya invests $53bn
Japanese bank Nomura and Bank of New York also held $500m each.
A much larger proportion of Libyan Investment Authority's assets - $19bn in total - were held by Libyan and Middle Eastern Banks, the document revealed.
It also showed that the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) holds billions of dollars in shares in global corporations such as General Electric, BP, Vivendi and Deutsche Telekom.
It had already been widely reported that the fund held stakes in UK publishing group Pearson, Italy's Unicredit bank and industrial group Finmeccanica, as well as Canadian oil exploration group Verenex.
"It is completely absurd that HSBC and Goldman Sachs can hide behind customer confidentiality in a case like this," said Charmian Gooch, director of campaigning group Global Witness.

"These are state accounts, so the customer is effectively the Libyan people and these banks are withholding vital information from them."
Established in 2006, the LIA holds about $70bn of assets and is the 13th largest sovereign wealth fund in the world, according to the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute.
The fund, built on Libya's oil wealth, scores two out of 10 on the institute's transparency ranking.
Earlier this month, the EU extended its economic sanctions against Libya to include the LIA and the country's central bank.
It had already frozen assets of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and some members of his family.

The Accounts Commission has highlighted concerns over the council's ability to make necessary savings.
An audit found that problems identified at the council in two previous reports had not been addressed.
Council leader Rhondda Geekie said improvements had been made but added there were areas where further progress was needed.
East Dunbartonshire has agreed a "transformation programme" aimed at making savings and changing the way it delivers services.
The Accounts Commission found that much of this programme remains behind schedule - a threat to the council's ability to achieve £27.6m in savings over the next three years.
The report said improvements have been made in financial management but there are concerns about the range of skills and experience in the financial team.
East Dunbartonshire is now looking at sharing services with neighbouring councils but it is not yet clear what savings will result, it said.
Accounts Commission chairman Douglas Sinclair said: "All councils face future funding gaps and are having to make radical changes in how services are provided.
"East Dunbartonshire needs to significantly up its game to deliver on its ambitions."
Ms Geekie said the council had worked to respond to all the concerns outlined in the Accounts Commission's previous report in June 2015.
She said savings of £40m had been made in the eight years to 2015/16.
"Local government has faced unprecedented and relentless budget cuts in recent years, and no-one can deny the challenging financial environment we all face," she said.
"Our transformation programme was agreed by this council to ensure that we identified and delivered every possible saving.
"We acknowledge that there are areas for further improvement across our organisation and whilst I look forward to our meeting with the Accounts Commission to discuss the best value audit findings, I think it is important that we consider the wider findings and not focus only on the more negative highlights."
Sands Heritage announced earlier this month it was seeking a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) to stop it going into administration.
The seaside attraction reopened in June but its Scenic Railway, thought to be Britain's oldest rollercoaster, did not open until 15 October.
Creditors voted to accept the arrangement in Canterbury on Wednesday.
The deal will allow the theme park, which features vintage rides, to remain open while Sands Heritage pays back a proportion of the money it owes over the next five years.
Following the decision, the operator said it was delighted to announce it was "business as usual for Dreamland Margate".
"A 98% majority voted in favour of the proposed CVA. The CVA allows Sands Heritage Limited to pay back its debt in full, over the next five years.
"We would like to thank everyone for their faithful support in Dreamland's first year and look forward to their continued custom and a successful 2016," it said in a statement.
Thanet District Council, which owns the entire site, has already paid an additional £1m of taxpayers' money to the park.
Council leader Chris Wells said it had "done everything possible" to support the regeneration of Dreamland and wanted to see it succeed.
"It is disappointing that operators Sands Heritage Limited are in financial difficulties.
"We hope today's decision will help to resolve this and believe this is in the best interests of local contractors who are owed money by SHL."
However, the MP for North Thanet said he believed the council was partly to blame for the park's current financial situation.
Sir Roger Gale said: "Thanet District Council has let down the operators by not providing the Scenic Railway on time, by not providing the rides that were promised, so they had to be hired in, by adding costs - which is why I believe that Sands Heritage found themselves in the unfortunate position they were in."
In response the council said it "took a bold step to compulsory purchase the site", and it was the operators decision to open on 19 June "against the council's advice".
Dreamland first opened in 1920 and was a popular attraction for decades before closing 10 years ago. It underwent an £18m restoration before reopening in the summer.

Tottenham kept in touch after thumping a poor Manchester United side, while Manchester City have a grip on fourth place after beating West Brom.
At the bottom, Newcastle look as if they will go down to the Championship after losing at Southampton, while Swansea shocked Chelsea.
Here are my selections for this week:
It was last week, in the euphoria after the match against Southampton, that I couldn't help but notice the calm influence goalkeeper Schmeichel was having on his Leicester team-mates. He showed the same maturity against Sunderland after one of the most important clean sheets he will ever keep in his life.
Schmeichel knows, of course, the value of clean sheets - his father Peter, one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation, would have told him so. Schmeichel senior kept 18 of them when Manchester United won Sir Alex Ferguson's first league title in 1993.
The qualities needed to win a Premier League title might have also dominated a few conversations between father and son. At least that would explain all the clean sheets recently and the calming influence. Only one father and son - Ian Wright and Shaun Wright-Phillips - have both won Premier League title medals, but I suspect that's about to change very soon.
This lad has done a wonderful job for West Ham this season. In recent months, Antonio has gone from an attacking midfield role to a wing-back and done both jobs wonderfully well. Apart from the fact that he can play in any position down the right-hand flank, he has provided manager Slaven Bilic with power and strength in a defensive position, something that they have lacked all season.
Like West Ham's other full-back Aaron Cresswell, Antonio has a quality delivery and it was his sensational cross that provided Andy Carroll with his hat-trick goal against Arsenal.
Cook's finish against Aston Villa was a lovely goal by the centre-back. In fact, it was the sort of finish you would expect from a seasoned striker rather than an central defender. Bournemouth have passed the 40-point mark, a wonderful achievement in itself, and now they can begin planning for another year in the top flight.
This is a remarkable achievement by the Cherries not least because it provides another opportunity for Callum Wilson to establish himself as a Premier League performer after a harrowing cruciate ligament injury. It was Wilson's goals and endeavour in the early part of the season that gave Bournemouth the belief that another year in the Premier League was possible.
Three Tottenham goals in six minutes put totally out of the question all thoughts of Manchester United coming away from White Hart Lane with anything more than a handshake.
For me, the star of the show, and he has been for a some few weeks now, was Alderweireld. The Belgium international has held the fort brilliantly for Spurs, particularly in the absence of Jan Vertonghen. His quiet demeanour often belies his commanding presence in defence but it was his aerial prowess in attack that cut United to ribbons. Spurs are still in the title race but it is Leicester's to lose.
What a strike from the full-back to open Liverpool's account against Stoke. It was Moreno's left-footed strike that flew past goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard. This lad always looks impressive on the ball, particularly in forward positions. Yet only a few days ago, I thought Moreno was extremely fortunate to stay on the pitch against Borussia Dortmund in the Europa League quarter-final when he needlessly lunged into a tackle that could have seen the Spaniard sent off at a crucial stage of the match.
The defender is often prone to these frustrations. However, when he's on top of his game, he can be a delight to watch and against Stoke he had one of those matches.
Palace's Puncheon hadn't scored all season and, after he missed a glorious chance in the first half against Norwich, you could be forgiven for thinking he wasn't going to break his duck. However, in a rather tense affair between two teams desperately in need of points to ensure their Premier League survival, it was Puncheon who produced the magical finish to give Palace the points.
The finish left Puncheon emotional and understandably so. After all, he has had a season disrupted by injury and misfortune. However, I cannot for the life of me understand how referee Michael Oliver never gave Norwich a penalty when Damien Delaney completely flattened Matt Jarvis in the area. I haven't seen anything quite so blatant for years.
I was amazed that manager Jurgen Klopp selected Divock Origi ahead of Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino against Borussia Dortmund. However, his plan worked. Not only that: This youngster is looking better by the minute.
Against Stoke, he took his goals brilliantly but the confidence he is displaying suggests that Klopp believes this could be the real deal. I had real reservations about Liverpool winning the Europa League with Origi leading the line but I think I am going to have to revise my position.
If you're going to score your 11th goal of the season, it might as well be the one that secures your team's Premier League tenure for another year. That was the impact of Sigurdsson's 25th-minute winner for the Swans, against a Chelsea side who, for the first time under Guus Hiddink, looked slightly off the pace.
This has been a very difficult season for Swansea, particularly since the sacking of former manager Garry Monk. Nevertheless, they have found a way to survive. Now they must maintain their integrity as they face Leicester and Newcastle in games that will have a profound impact on the title and relegation pictures.
The only person who really survived Arsenal's mauling at Upton Park was Iwobi. The youngster set up Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez with two lovely assists that should have put Arsenal into an unassailable lead against the Hammers.
Amid all the hullaballoo about Arsenal missing yet another opportunity to wrestle the title from Leicester's grasp, I want to know how the FA could have allowed this prodigious talent, who played for the England Under-19s, to fall into the hands of Nigeria.
The Super Eagles have failed, yet again, to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations and now Roy Hodgson can't even add the this lad to the other exciting prospects for the European Championship. We really can't afford to let talent like this slip through our fingers.
He only had two chances in the entire match at Sunderland. When they came his way, Vardy nailed them. If Jack Rodwell or Patrick van Aanholt could have shown the same composure as Leicester's top goalscorer, the Black Cats would have come away with at least a point.
What I'm struggling to come to terms with is the way Vardy, in particular, seems totally unfazed by the position in which he and his team-mates find themselves. At no stage against Sunderland did Leicester let the situation get to them. It was only at the final whistle did we see any sign of emotion. Manager Claudio Ranieri fought back the tears as his team took another giant step towards lifting an unprecedented Premier League title. It was a sensational piece of finishing from Vardy. He's certainly having a party.
It was his first league start for the Hammers since January but Carroll not only put a massive dent in Arsenal's title challenge, but also left bodies in golden shirts strewn everywhere.
The Gunners had this game wrapped up at 2-0 after 35 minutes. That was before the 6ft 2in Carroll began to terrorise the entire Arsenal back four, with Laurent Koscielny and Gabriel the two main casualties, neither of whom relished the physical battle.
By the end of the match, both of Arsenal's centre-backs looked as if they'd gone three rounds with Anthony Joshua. The West Ham centre forward absolutely destroyed them. The question now is: Can Arsenal recover?

The claim: The UK could negotiate an agreement that gives some of the benefits of customs union membership while still allowing other trade deals to be negotiated.
Reality Check verdict: Turkey has a deal for partial membership of the customs union so it is possible, but the terms are not favourable to Turkey. The prime minister says she does not want to replicate any existing agreements. There is a limit to what the government will be able to achieve in the negotiations if it is not prepared to impose the EU's tariffs on non-EU countries.
But she said that she did want to reach some sort of customs agreement with the EU.
"Whether that means we must reach a completely new customs agreement, become an associate member of the customs union in some way or remain a signatory to some elements of it, I hold no preconceived position," she said.
The EU customs union is a trade agreement between European countries that they will not impose tariffs (taxes on imports) on each other's goods and agree to impose common external tariffs on goods from other countries outside the customs union.
It means that once a product is inside the customs zone it can be transported without customs checks to any other country in the union.
Mrs May specified that there were two parts of the customs union that she could not accept.
One of them was the common external tariff, because having to impose the tariff would get in the way of free trade agreements outside the EU.
The other was the common commercial policy, which is the part of the EU treaties that sets out the principles for EU trade, including that it is the EU that sets external tariffs and negotiates trade deals, rather than individual member states.
The customs union is made up of the 28 EU members states and Monaco.
The EU also has separate customs union agreements with Turkey, Andorra and San Marino.
Turkey's agreement covers industrial products and processed agricultural products.
That means Turkey has to impose the common external tariff and meet EU regulations on its industrial products, but not its unprocessed agricultural ones.
So when Turkey negotiates trade agreements with other countries, it still has to impose the EU's external tariff on industrial products and processed agricultural products (unless those countries also have trade deals with the EU).
It's also a one-sided agreement, with non-EU countries that have free trade agreements with the EU automatically getting access to Turkish markets although Turkey does not get access to theirs.
And it means that on the products covered by the agreement, Turkey must keep to EU regulations.
Clearly the EU regulations would not currently be a problem for UK companies, which already follow them, but a Turkey-style deal would mean being bound by future changes to the regulations without having any say in them.
The question is whether the UK, which has stressed it does not want to replicate any existing agreements, could negotiate a deal with the EU that would allow tariff-free access for some industries to the customs union without getting in the way of the UK's trade agreements with other countries.
Theresa May said she wanted the UK's trade with the EU to be "as frictionless as possible", without specifying what benefits she would like to keep.
But there is a limit to what the UK can secure in the negotiations without agreeing to the EU's tariffs on non-EU countries, because that would mean that other countries could get a back-door, tariff-free route into the EU.

Police said the driver of the Ferrari California was stopped in Norwich early this morning.
Sgt Chris Harris posted on Twitter that the driver did not have a valid UK licence, and insurance for the vehicle had been cancelled.
He said the car could would "most probably" be sold if the driver did not reclaim it within 14 days.
The driver will have that time to prove they have a valid licence and insurance, Mr Harris said.
He marched with pride through the narrow cobbled streets of central Barcelona's Gotico neighbourhood, as the red, yellow and blue Catalan pro-independence flags fluttered in the wind.
"War! War! War!" shouted his commander.
This was a re-enactment of events in the 18th Century, but Ramon feels like he is part of an historic struggle in 2015.
"The Spaniards hate us because we're different," he told me.
"Really?!" I said, as I began to explain that I knew plenty of people in Madrid who definitely did not think that way.
"I don't mean each one of them," replied Ramon.
"Maybe 60 or 70%. You ask them what they think of the Catalans, they'll tell you they're scum, they're pigs."
Such language borders on the extreme, and does not reflect reality.
But perceptions speak volumes when political tension runs high.
And on Catalonia's national day, which was - by no coincidence - also the first day of campaigning ahead of this weekend's crucial regional elections, we met others who had similar thoughts.
"Spain doesn't like us," 15-year-old Julia told me.
"The Spanish government is not friendly with Catalonia," said Eloy, who was born in Galicia, but grew up in Catalonia.
In reality, most of the animosity of the Catalan pro-independence movement is directed at Spain's conservative Popular Party government.
In the words of Francisco Camas Garcia, an analyst at Metroscopia, one of Spain's leading polling companies, "no-one can deny that there is a feeling in Catalonia that they [the Catalans] have been mistreated by the Spanish government".
In private, the Spanish government admits that mistakes have been made over the handling of the Catalan question.
Namely in 2012, when the former Spanish Education Minister, Jose Ignacio Wert, suggested that his department's aim was to make Catalan school children "more Spanish".
But the government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy accuses the Catalan authorities of manipulating public opinion and fuelling animosity between Catalonia and the rest of Spain.
It says regional officials have attempted to blackmail Spain into accepting a referendum by threatening a unilateral declaration of independence and attempting to turn this Sunday's regional election into a vote on whether or not Catalonia should break away from Spain.
Madrid, and more accurately people on the right of Spanish politics, are worried.
According to the opinion polls, the majority of Catalans want a referendum.
Catalonia's governing Convergencia party says the vote is a de-facto referendum on independence from Spain.
It has joined forces with the second biggest political party in Catalonia, Esquerra Republicana, to create a single list of candidates, under the banner Together for Yes.
They argue they have been forced to do this because the Spanish government has consistently refused to allow a legally recognised referendum.
Together for Yes says that if it - together with the far-left pro-independence party Candidatures d'Unitat Popular - wins a majority in the Catalan parliament (68 out of 135 seats), then it will have a "democratic mandate" to start a process to create an independent Catalonia.
If Together for Yes fails to gain a majority then it would be tantamount to a serious defeat for the pro-independence movement.
If Together for Yes wins, as polls suggest it will, it plans to start a transitional period lasting up to 18 months, which in theory would lead to a unilateral declaration of independence.
The Spanish government says it will use the country's constitutional court, and other legal means, to block the creation of an "illegitimate" Catalan state.
Catalonia's quarrel with Spain explained
But according to Francisco Camas Garcia of Metroscopia, only about 20% of Catalans support the idea of a unilateral declaration of independence.
So Catalans find themselves victims of a political version of cat and mouse.
By refusing point-blank to even enter into negotiations on the possibility of a referendum on independence, Mr Rajoy hopes the Catalan secessionist movement will run out of momentum.
But the Catalan government says it can use Sunday's election as a vote on independence and will press on regardless of whether Mr Rajoy agrees.
Ultimately Artur Mas, the head of Catalonia's regional government, wants to pressurise Madrid into agreeing to a legal referendum.
"That's the game," proclaimed Guillermo Sanchez, who had his face painted with the thin red and yellow stripes of the Catalan flag at a pro-independence demonstration at the start of the election campaign.
This pro-independence supporter is optimistic that, in the end, the Spanish government will have to sit down and negotiate over a referendum.
However Mr Mas said only this week that he was "sceptical" that would happen.
Some, like flower-shop owner Nieves Sabadell in the town of Hospitalet, which borders Barcelona, believe there are "much more important issues" than independence.
"If half of people have lost their homes, don't have jobs and can't feed their children, they [the politicians] should worry about this."
But even if opinion remains fairly divided over the pros and cons of independence, what the Catalan authorities have successfully cultivated amongst many Catalans is a grievance that they have been denied the right to vote.
Some Spanish politicians, like the new left-wing Podemos leader Pablo Iglesias, oppose Catalan independence but support the idea of a referendum.
For now, Catalans will vote on Sunday.
If the pro-independence parties win a majority of seats in the Catalan parliament, which most opinion polls predict they will, it will be a step into the unknown.
A constitutional crisis is brewing in Spain.
The pram was knocked over at about 14:00 on Tuesday, at Riccarton Mains Road, at the junction with Bryce Road.
The seven-month-old baby boy was checked over at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children but found to be uninjured.
Police said they are looking for a young man who was driving an "older style" white Ford Fiesta.
The driver did not stop and turned his vehicle around before travelling North along Riccarton Mains Road towards the A71 Calder Road.
The driver was white, in his early to mid 20s with short dark hair.
Insp Liz Duthie, of Police Scotland, said: "It is extremely fortunate the young baby did not suffer injury as a result of this collision, but his mother was left extremely distraught.
"We are eager to trace the motorist who did not stop and anyone with information that can help identify him is asked to contact police immediately."
Rooney, who has scored one goal in 12 games for club and country this season, was barracked by a small section of the 81,000 fans as he played in midfield.
"I thought Wayne was brilliant. He has been every time he has played for England," said defender John Stones.
Midfielder Jordan Henderson said Rooney "put in a fantastic performance".
Rooney's position in the team has been called into question given the emergence of the likes of Harry Kane, Daniel Sturridge and Dele Alli in attack, along with the fact he has been a substitute in Manchester United's past three games.
But England's interim manager Gareth Southgate defended the 30-year-old after his side's second World Cup qualifier, saying the criticism was "at times unfair".
Manchester City defender Stones believes England's record goalscorer is a victim of his own high standards, after scoring 53 goals in 117 appearances for his country.
"He wears his heart on his sleeve and gives 110% and you can see that in every performance," said Stones, 22. "I am a bit shocked that the booing happened.
"He is always up there and on form. The top players are always going to get the stick that gets piled on them because of the standards he sets."
Liverpool midfielder Henderson added: "He's our captain and our leader and is a fantastic player for both Manchester United and England. He put in a fantastic performance, got on the ball well and broke it up too to win it back for us.
"There's always going to be criticism and we just have to stay together and win games.
"I feel the criticism comes because the fans know we have good players and want us to do well."
Despite being deployed in a deeper role, Rooney had five shots, the joint-highest total in the team alongside Sturridge, who scored the opening goal.
However, he has scored only once in his past seven internationals.
But Henderson explained the team had a plan to execute, and Rooney played a clear role in that.
"Our instructions were to make sure we communicated and to make sure that both of us didn't get ahead of the ball and leave gaps in the middle," he said.
"We had to make sure one of us was always protecting and one of us was getting forward. I felt we got that balance right a lot of the time."

The previously unbeaten visitors fell just short in Cardiff as Glamorgan fast bowler Michael Hogan conceded only five runs in the final over.
"The character our team showed was incredible," former England spinner Croft said
"It wasn't just the effort, there was high skill involved."
The result keeps Glamorgan's hopes alive after losing three consecutive games in six days.
Despite Colin Ingram's superb 142, Glamorgan's total of 281-7 did not look enough for long stages of the Essex innings as Varun Chopra played a similar role, scoring his own career-best of 124.
Essex still had seven wickets in hand going into the last ten overs with 75 needed, but Craig Meschede luckily ran out Ravi Bopara on 56 and claimed the next two wickets including Chopra.
"There were a couple of moments of brilliance, Hogan and (Marchant) de Lange coming at the end there with pace and great craft" enthused Croft.
"But (wicket-keeper) Chris Cooke on the run-out (of Simon Harmer in the last over) after a melee in the middle, he had to dive forward, scoop it up and take the stumps out, that was brilliant.
"Then the hand that he got on that last delivery that was scuttling down to fine-leg (with four needed to win) was incredible, it won us the game."
Croft also had plenty to enjoy on the batting front after a poor start, as Ingram hit the roof of the pavilion twice with some of the biggest blows seen at the ground.
"I thought the partnership between Ingram and (Will) Bragg was brilliant because we were under a lot of pressure, Kiran Carlson gave the right support and Ingram at the end,
"I think it was people like (West Indies great) Clive Lloyd the last time you saw sixes hit like that in Wales," Croft added.
Glamorgan now have two wins from five games, but will probably need to win their remaining three against Middlesex at Radlett on Wednesday 10 May, Hampshire in Southampton and Kent in Swansea to stand a strong chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals.
The 34-year-old was "strongly reprimanded" by the IOC after losing to Or Sasson in Friday's first-round bout.
The IOC said the Egyptian Olympic Committee also condemned El Shehaby and had sent him home.
However, Egypt's judo federation said he arrived home as scheduled.
Spokesman Sameh Moubasher, quoted by the AFP news agency, said: "He returned with his colleagues. The whole team judo team returned yesterday."
El Shehaby was roundly booed by the crowd and was called back to the stage for his failure to bow to his opponent as it contravenes judo rules.
Sasson later revealed his coaches had warned him El Shehaby might refuse to shake his hand as the Egyptian had come under pressure from some conservative voices in his homeland to withdraw from the bout.
The IOC said the Egyptian judoka's conduct was "against the spirit of friendship embodied in the Olympic values".

Ko Yong-suk told how she looked after Kim when he was at school in Switzerland.
Ko, a sister of Kim's mother, now lives anonymously outside New York City.
The CIA, which reportedly helped them buy a house after their defection, has not confirmed or denied her claims.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Washington Post, Mrs Ko set out how she was sent to Switzerland with her husband, to look after members of the ruling family studying there.
She remembers Kim Jong-un as "short-tempered" and with a "lack of tolerance".
Although Mrs Ko has not seen her nephew for nearly 20 years and does not appear to have held an official position, some of the details revealed in the interview shed new light on the patchy information available about the North Korean leader.
Mrs Ko says he was born in 1984, the same year as her own son was born, and not in 1982 or 1983 as has been widely reported.
"He and my son were playmates from birth. I changed both of their diapers," she told the newspaper.
Another insight that will catch the attention of Korea observers is that Kim allegedly knew from 1992 that he would become the North Korean leader.
The signal was sent at his eighth birthday party, attended by North Korea's top brass, she said.
The rest of the world learnt this during the North Korean Workers' Party Conference of 2010.
It remains unclear why the family defected to the US.
The Washington Post suggests it may have been out of fear that they would fall out of favour after Kim's mother, who had breast cancer, died.
After months of questioning by the CIA, the family moved to the US and set up a dry-cleaning business.
Mrs Ko considers herself lucky. "My kids went to great schools and they're successful, and I have my husband, who can fix anything. There's nothing we can envy," she told the Washington Post.
Her husband agrees, saying "I think we have achieved the American Dream".
Mrs Ko came to public attention last year when she filed a defamation case against three defectors for allegedly spreading false stories about her.
Her lawyer said she was seeking 60m won ($51,600) in a South Korean court.
Michael Crampton, 23, was the keyboard player in The Pisdicables - a ska punk band.
The musician's friend James Montegriffo was also killed in the three-vehicle crash on Eglantine Lane in Farningham early on Saturday.
Eight other people were injured, one seriously.
Mr Crampton's family said: "There are no words to encapsulate the sheer joy and happiness Michael brought to so many.
"A sense of humour, his presence in the room brought a smile to every face," they said in a statement.
"A brilliant young man with great ambition and a great musician, an amazing array of friends and a heart filled to the brim with the deepest love for everyone."'
Police have appealed for anyone who saw a black Vauxhall Insignia with a 61 registration being driven on the A20 towards Swanley to contact them.
A blue Citroen Berlingo van and a white VW Polo were also involved in the collision.
North Wales Police described it as a "cowardly attack" at the Costcutter shop in Station Road, Queensferry on Thursday night.
The 58-year-old store keeper suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Police said two people are being questioned on suspicion of robbery and assault.
The force has also appealed for a witness thought to be in the shop at the time of the attack to come forward as he may be able to "provide key evidence".
Emergency services were called to the store at about 18:30 GMT.
"This was a serious and violent attack on a lone shop keeper resulting in him receiving serious injuries," said Det Ch Insp Neil Harrison.
Coverage of Russian air strikes in Syria has been leading news bulletins on Russian state television. Reports spoke of jets targeting the Islamist al-Nusra Front as well as so-called Islamic State (IS).
But mostly Russian media simply calls the targets "IS" or "terrorists".
The wide Russian coverage contrasts markedly with the secrecy that Russia clamped on military operations in Soviet times, particularly during the costly war in Afghanistan.
In a major new departure, Russian TV showed video of the air strikes, filmed by drones. Similar US and Israeli footage from the Middle East has been shown widely before, but this is quite new for Russians.
Channel One TV, a key source of news for most Russians, stressed that the Russian operation was based on Syrian intelligence and had been requested by Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
Reports on the air strikes echoed a warning from President Vladimir Putin that Russian Islamists in IS posed a threat to Russia.
Channel One showed Russian jets being maintained at night as crews prepared for sorties from a base near the government-held Mediterranean port of Latakia.
An air force spokesman there, Igor Klimov, said eight IS targets had been destroyed - command and communications posts, transport, fuel dumps and weapons stores. They included "terrorist" operational headquarters "in the mountains".
Bulletins on the state-run Vesti news channel said Su-24 jets bombed al-Nusra Front positions just north of Homs, and a few hours later Syrian government troops attacked the militants. "More than 5,000 militants are dug in there," it said. Al-Nusra is allied to al-Qaeda.
"The extremists are using tunnels and other underground passages to shelter from air raids, but the Syrian army doesn't have the necessary intelligence capability to reveal the Islamists' fortifications and underground passages in good time," Vesti reported.
That means the Syrian air force often gets there too late to support the ground troops, according to Vesti. "The Russian planes will be able to operate over Syria in a much more timely and accurate manner."
Russian news reports also say the planes can carry out raids around the clock, whereas Syrian aircraft are limited to daytime raids.
The Russian defence ministry said the Russian jets carried out 20 raids on Wednesday, 12 of them against IS targets. It insisted that no civilian infrastructure was targeted.
Four of the air raids against IS were conducted at night.
In all, Russia has deployed more than 50 planes and helicopters to Syria, the ministry says.
Russian Su-24M jets completely destroyed an IS command post in Latamineh, as well as an IS headquarters and ammunition dump near Talbiseh, Gen Igor Konashenkov of the defence ministry said.
He said the air strikes also destroyed a "terrorist" headquarters and ammunition dump near the town of Idlib, a command post near Hama and an explosives factory north of Homs.
Meduza, a liberal Russian-language news source based in Latvia, quoted the figure of 36 civilians killed in the Russian bombing, widely reported by Western media. The figure was given by Khaled Khoja of the anti-Assad Syrian opposition.
President Putin rejected reports of civilian casualties as "information warfare" and the news outlets that most Russians rely on did not report Mr Khoja's allegation. Nor did they report Western claims that moderate Sunni rebels had also been bombed.
The Russian daily Kommersant appears to give the most details of the Russian operation, including precise figures for the aircraft involved and their combat radius in Syria.
Kommersant published a map (in Russian) listing the Russian air force deployment as: four Su-30 SMs, six Su-34s, 12 Su-24Ms, 12 Su-25 SMs.
Kommersant said an Islamist push towards the Latakia region in recent months had alarmed the Syrian government.
Russian media stress that only professional soldiers have been sent to Syria, not conscripts. However, the force strength and units have not been revealed.
According to the daily Vedomosti, there will be no shortage of soldiers willing to go there, to earn bonus pay. Officers were paid an extra $62 (??41) a day there, and lower ranks an extra $43 (??28), it reported, quoting Valentina Melnikova, head of the Soldiers' Mothers group.
Since the rouble's slump in value, that kind of bonus - paid in roubles - means a lot more purchasing power in Russia.
An operation to oust IS from Palmyra would have great propaganda value, Kommersant suggests, but would be high-risk for Russia. Photos revealing IS destruction of Palmyra's ancient temples triggered international outrage.
Meanwhile, in the popular tabloid Moskovsky Komsomolets, military analyst Ruslan Pukhov warned that an attack on the Russian air base could not be ruled out - even by "some unidentified planes".
Faced with that risk, he warned that limiting the operation to the air force "cannot save us from a ground operation - and we need to be ready for that".
In future they could be settled over the internet using an online disputes system similar to that used by eBay.
Judges, barristers, solicitors and politicians are being asked to consider backing the change.
Initially the system would be used to settle compensation claims of less than £25,000.
If successful, its use could be expanded and could eventually include non-contentious divorce proceedings.
The online dispute resolution system is currently being used for some legal cases in Holland and British Columbia in Canada.
The Civil Justice Council for England and Wales is also proposing its introduction.
It operates in the same way as the online resolution centre run by the online marketplace eBay, which is used to resolve millions of disputes over payments or the condition of items each year.
Both parties to a dispute who agreed to sign up for online arbitration would log on to a specially designed site where they can access assistance from professional mediators, some of whom would be lawyers.
In the most complex cases, judges would become involved.
If agreement could not be reached, the dispute would then go to court.
Supporters claim the system would result in substantial reductions in legal aid payments, while at the same time improving access to justice for those who do not qualify for legal aid, but do not want to potentially pay thousands of pounds to lawyers.
The chairman of the justice committee at Stormont, the DUP MLA Alastair Ross, wants to see it introduced in Northern Ireland.
"I think it absolutely could be rolled out here," he said.
"The Netherlands have led the way in showing how it can work and there is no reason why a small place like Northern Ireland can't also look at having our own system that does something likewise."
The online resolution system has been used to settle some compensation cases and divorces for the past six months.
It has only dealt with a fraction of the overall number of cases, but has a 60% success rate for those who have used it.
But some senior legal figures in Northern Ireland have warned that it would not be appropriate for some divorce proceedings where there are allegations of domestic or child abuse.
Sarah Ramsey, chair of the Family Bar Association, which represents lawyers who work in family courts, says strong safeguards would have to be put in place.
"I think there should be some triggers where if allegations are made of abuse taking place that the courts should be there to oversee and make sure that the interests of the children and vulnerable parties are protected," she said.
There are costs involved, with users paying a series of flat fees depending on the level of professional assistance they require.
In Holland, no matter how complex the case, the payment is currently capped at a maximum of 1,200 euros (£867).
Gerry McAlinden QC, chairman of the Bar Council for Northern Ireland, has said the system could have limited use, but not in major disputes or where there was acrimony.
He said any concerns about the impact of the system on lawyers' earnings or employment prospects should not be the basis for opposing it.
"We have to look at it from the perspective of a justice system that is open and fair and accessible to all and if there are improvements to be made which ensure that those three principles are met, then we have to welcome those principles irrespective of whether it impinges on lawyers earnings or prospects or not."
A total of 64% achieved this level in degrees awarded last year, up from 60% in 2006-7, while 15% got a first.
Data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (Hesa) also shows a continuing rise in the number of students coming to the UK from overseas.
And there has been a sharp fall (8%) in those enrolling to study part-time.
The Hesa statistics cover all areas of the UK.
They show that 66% of first degrees awarded to women in 2010-11 were either firsts or upper second class.
Among men, 61% of first degrees were awarded at this level.
More women than men are studying for degrees - they accounted for 57% of first degree graduates in 2010-11.
The figures show that about one in six (53,215) of those graduating last summer was awarded a first.
In 2006-07, 36,645 did so and in 2009-10, the number was 46,825.
In total, 83% of those enrolled at universities in the UK are from the UK, while 5% come from other European Union countries and 12% from outside the EU.
Numbers coming from outside the EU rose by 6% from 2009-10 to 298,110, while those coming from other EU countries rose by 4% to 130,120.
At the same time, there was a 1% fall in UK students enrolled at UK universities.
In total, the number of students enrolled at universities in the UK is 2,501,295.
The numbers signing up to study part-time for the first year of a degree fell by 8%, while first-year enrolments were down as a whole by 3%.
When just first year enrolments are examined, there has been a 1% rise at post-graduate level and a fall of 5% at undergraduate level.
In both cases, declines in numbers of UK students have been off-set by those coming from overseas.
The past year has also seen a big increase in the number of students overseas studying for UK qualifications without coming to the UK - for example by attending an overseas campus of a UK university, or studying for a UK degree by distance learning.
Numbers rose from just over 400,000 to just over 500,000.
Nicola Dandridge, chief executive of vice-chancellors' group Universities UK said: "As in previous years, the proportion of firsts and 2:1s awarded has increased marginally. But A-level performance has also improved in recent years, so it is unsurprising that degree results would also show an improvement.
"However, it has been clear for some time that the current degree classification system is a blunt instrument for assessing achievement, hence Universities UK's support for the ongoing trialling of the Higher Education Achievement Report (Hear)."
Pam Tatlow, chief executive of the university think-tank million+, said: "At a time of economic difficulty and rising unemployment, the decrease in students enrolling at university is disappointing.
"Demand for places reached record levels. Rather than threatening to fine universities if they exceeded their student numbers, the Government should have funded more places."
Routine inspections at Old Vienna in Eastwood Road, Leigh, revealed congealed dirt, broken glass, and cooked food left unrefrigerated.
The proprietor, Walter Haiser, 76, admitted food safety breaches at Southend Magistrates' Court.
Southend Borough Council said Mr Haiser had been "failing to comply" for some time.

The council said the business sold unfit food, failed to comply with improvement notices issued by environmental health officers and failed to provide essential information, despite repeated requests.
Officers said they gave advice on how to address the failings, but Mr Haiser, from Woodlands Park, Leigh, failed to take action.
The Southend Echo also reported the restaurant's food safety rating sank to zero.
Executive councillor for housing, planning and public protection services, Mark Flewitt said: "We had to take this action to protect public health and make sure that the food hygiene regulations would be complied with in future.
"Friern Leasing Limited and Mr Haiser had been failing to do this for a long time."
The restaurant is yet to comment.
All 30 volunteers were told by York Minster that bell-ringing activity had "ceased with immediate effect".
A spokesperson for York Minster said their "agreements were terminated" for a fully trained professional team led by a new head bell ringer.
The Minster said: "The main bells will be silent until we have recruited a new team in the New Year."
Volunteers were immediately denied access to the Minster's bell tower, the BBC understands.
York Minster confirmed key fobs had been withdrawn from the current volunteers, for "safety reasons as the Minster has to know who can access the building at any time".
In a letter sent to all the volunteers on Tuesday, the Reverend Canon Peter Moger said the Minster's key objective was to "have a fully trained, motivated and engaged community of staff and volunteers" by 2020.
"In order to begin this process, all current bell ringing activity will cease at the Minster, from today, Tuesday 11th October. The only exception is the ringing of the carillion."
Mr Moger said applications to join the new bell-ringing team would be "invited from everyone".
He said he wanted to bring the bell ringing team "in line with other teams across the organisation" following similar changes to its flower-arranging, brodery, collections and its police teams, which were "all adopting new structures and embracing new working practices.
Shares in the company jumped by another 13% on Tuesday to 22,840 yen.
The Nikkei 225 index rose 2.46% to close at 16,095.65 points, adding to a 4% rally from the day before.
The index is now within 1% of the level it closed at the day before the Brexit vote triggered a global sell-off.
The broader Topix index rose 2.4% to close at 1,285.73.
Shares across the rest of Asia were also buoyed by Wall Street rising to record peaks on the back of talk of policy stimulus in Japan and the UK.
In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index ended the day up 1.7% at 21,224.74, while China's Shanghai Composite rose 1.8% to 3,049.38.
In Australia, the ASX/200 rose 0.3% to close at 5,353.22 points.
South Korea's benchmark Kospi index edged up by 0.1% to close at 1,991.23 points.

The case will be heard on 22 September.
The returns available to savers putting money into a cash Individual Savings Account (Isa) are among the lowest ever seen, Moneyfacts said.
This time of year tends to see banks offering better rates to attract savers to the tax-free products.
Moneyfacts said the best easy-access Isa rate was 1.41%.
This was well down on the top rate of 3.15% offered five years ago.
The returns for Isa savers have been hit by the low interest rate environment, as well as the introduction of a new personal savings allowance in April, which will mean most savers will be free from tax on their savings interest anyway.
The change means basic rate taxpayers will be able to earn up to £1,000 in savings interest tax-free and higher rate taxpayers will be able to earn up to £500 in tax-free savings income.
Charlotte Nelson, of Moneyfacts, said: "Isas were once the go-to product for savers as they offered not only tax benefits but also some of the better rates on the market.
"However, this is certainly no longer the case thanks to almost constant rate decreases. For instance, the best easy access Isa rate has dropped by 0.10% in just six months, making this perhaps the worst Isa season on record."
Bob Dudley described the fire on the Deepwater Horizon and its aftermath as "a near death experience" for the firm.
It was one of the worst environmental disasters in the US and saw BP pay fines and compensation and sell off more than £30bn ($45bn) in assets.
Mr Dudley told ex-BP boss Lord Browne - a guest editor on BBC Radio 4's Today programme - it was a "tragic accident".
He said it had shaken the company "to its core" and led to a complete change in its organisational structure.
"Sometimes it takes a near death experience to radically change a company. It was a forced focussing down of what we do, it was this is what we need to do to survive."
The rig, which had been leased by the firm, exploded on 20 April 2010, killing 11 workers and spilling more than three million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana.
The spill affected the shorelines of five states - Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida - crippling ecosystems and local economies.
In 2012, BP accepted responsibility for the disaster and agreed to pay £3bn to the US government, settling its criminal liability.
Last October, it agreed to pay £13bn in a settlement with the US Department of Justice over civil actions brought by the government and the five states over the environmental and economic impact.
Meanwhile, Mr Dudley has also said Bank of England governor Mark Carney may have exaggerated the financial risk to the energy industry of having to leave oil and gas in the ground due to strict targets to cut CO2 emissions.
Mr Carney's comments saw him suggest oil companies might end up with a lot of so-called stranded assets - reserves which may never be tapped because of the new global limits on emissions.
Mr Dudley told Lord Browne the Bank of England governor had overstated the problem and he had raised the issue directly with him.
"I've spoken to the governor about it and I've questioned about that term," he said.
However, he said he supported "thoroughly" Mr Carney's concerns about climate change and finding the right pricing mechanisms for carbon fuels.
The Paris climate change summit deal to attempt to limit the rise in global temperatures to less than 2C was a "very welcome agreement", he said.
However, the world still faced a "really difficult problem" in reducing emissions at the same time as producing enough energy for a growing population, he added.
Mr Dudley also told his predecessor that public trust in big business was at a low, and companies had a responsibility to better connect with employees and societies all over the world.
The recent drop in oil prices was here to stay "for a couple of years", with a possible low point in the first quarter of 2016, he predicted.
Finlayson, a director of recruitment company FW Park Brown, has been on the club's board since 2010.
Cameron also relinquished the role of chief executive.
And Finlayson said: "The board has decided to separate these two differing roles and will, in the near future, appoint a new general manager."
He added: "We have a tremendously loyal support and an equally supportive group of stakeholders. Collectively we can work together to meet the aspirations of all, specifically our ambition to make a swift return to the Premiership."
The Highland club were relegated from the top flight for the first time since returning in 2010, despite beating Motherwell last weekend.

But did you know that some things are easier to recycle than others?
The more different materials that are used to make packaging, the harder it is to recycle.
The Recycling Association has released a list of the good and bad guys.
For example, some crisp tubes can have a metal base, a plastic cap, a metal lid that you tear off, and foil lining the inside of the container. That's four separate materials!
Jenny has been looking into how different materials are recycled - and which ones are the worst offenders!
Britain's world number two, 29, won Wimbledon, the US Open and Olympic gold with Lendl from 2012 to 2014.
"One of the big things Ivan helped Andy with when they worked together the last time was the ability to set his focus when he got distracted," said the former Great Britain Fed Cup captain.
"It's good to have him back."
She added: "When you get into the critical moments there are so many good players that you can't afford to have momentary lapses in concentration.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"As a player, Lendl was remembered for the poker face, the relentlessness, just that focus that he was on a mission and nothing would distract him. I think he helped Andy a lot with that the last time."
Meanwhile, John McEnroe believes Wimbledon, which begins on Monday, represents Murray's best chance of beating Novak Djokovic to a major title.
The Serb has already beaten Murray in the Australian and French Open finals this year, and has only lost two of their last 15 meetings.
"In ways he's getting closer. I think he's best suited on grass and just has the crowd more on his side here at Wimbledon," seven-time Grand Slam winner McEnroe said.
"So I think that's his best chance. Not that he can't beat Djokovic at the US Open, he beat him in Rome not long ago, but his record has recently not been good.
"Murray is a great player, there's no question about it. But at the moment there's no question that the level Novak is at is something that you rarely, if ever, see."
Now they've seen the details, they haven't changed their tune.
There is actually a fair amount of common ground between the two sides, but the details - naturally - matter.
The EU's goal on citizens' rights, said its chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, is "the same level of protection as [is offered] in EU law".
"More ambition, clarity and guarantees needed than in today's UK position," Mr Barnier tweeted.
This is a crucial point for the European negotiating team.
However pleased it may be that the UK has finally produced a detailed policy document on one aspect of Brexit, this proposal falls short of what it wants in several respects.
The EU's Essential Principles on Citizens' Rights argued that the rights of EU citizens in the UK, and British citizens elsewhere in the EU, should not change as a result of Brexit.
All their rights should be respected.
The British proposal, on the other hand, entails the loss of some of those rights - the legal protection of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), for example, or the unconditional right to bring family members into the UK from third countries.
The cut-off date for eligibility for settled status also needs to be clarified. The UK proposal suggests that the cut-off could be as early as 29 March 2017, the day when Article 50 was triggered.
But it is unlikely that the EU would be willing to agree to any date that has already passed. It would mean - in effect - that some citizens would lose some of their rights while the UK was still a member of the EU.
Opposition to such an idea would be seen in many EU capitals not just as a point of principle, but as a matter of EU law.
It is more likely that British negotiators will eventually agree to settle on their other suggested date - the date on which the UK actually leaves the EU, which is currently due to be 29 March 2019.
If the UK shows flexibility on the cut-off date, it will expect equal flexibility on other matters from the EU. But trust between the negotiating teams appears to be in rather short supply.
It will need to be established quickly because a similar mood of compromise will be needed to reach agreement on the legal system that will underpin any agreement.
The British side insists that the ECJ will have no jurisdiction in the UK after Brexit. The EU insists that the ECJ must continue to offer legal protection for their citizens in the UK, just as it does now.
The obvious answer to this conundrum is to create a joint UK-EU arbitration panel that will ensure that the terms of an agreement are respected under international law. But this will require both sides to alter fairly entrenched positions.
Well, the UK proposal does contain a few carrots.
It accepts that child benefit payments will still be paid for the children of EU workers in the UK whose families live abroad. This was a right that David Cameron tried but failed to abolish.
It advocates a "grace period" of two years to allow EU citizens to get their status in order. It is an idea that could dovetail conveniently with the need for transitional arrangements, to ensure that the British exit from the EU takes place without sudden shocks.
As for British citizens who have retired abroad, the UK proposal offers the reassurance that the government will continue to export and "uprate" the UK state pension within the EU.
So if, for example, you live in Spain, you will still get annual pension increases - something that is not always guaranteed if you live elsewhere in the world.
There is also a promise to simplify bureaucratic procedures for people applying for settled status in the future. But many of them will be furious that they have just spent time and money to obtain permanent residence in the UK, only to find out that they need to start again from scratch.
"How can you promise to give people certainty and then tell tens of thousands that their permanent residence is going to be invalidated?" says Ian Robinson, a partner at the immigration law firm Fragomen.
"It would have been just as easy to continue to recognise permanent residence already granted but just stop accepting new applications," Mr Robinson adds.
The UK may argue that its proposal at least tries to offer something to everyone. But so far it doesn't do enough to satisfy the EU.
So even if the basis for a deal can be envisaged on this one aspect of Brexit, there is plenty of bridge-building still to be done.
When the UK proposal was first trailed, it was described as a generous offer. That was quickly amended to a "fair and serious" one.
Because the EU doesn't see this as a generous offer, and it has been prepared to say so. It involves millions of EU citizens losing some of the rights they currently enjoy, and for EU leaders that is no cause for celebration.

New figures suggested 200 more cardiac arrest patients were saved by ambulance crews compared with five years ago.
In the last 10 years, demand for ambulances increased by 55%, with crews responding to almost 750,000 incidents between April 2014 and March 2015.
The most common reason for calling an ambulance was a fall. The average response time for the most urgent calls was 6.5 minutes.
The statistics were published as part of the service's annual public review.
They showed that crews responded to 740,631 emergency incidents across Scotland last year and helped 658 patients to survive cardiac arrests.
About 20% of the incidents ambulances responded to were potentially life-threatening and more than a third were requests from GPs, referrals from the 111 number, hospital transfers, community alarms and other emergency services.
999 calls are split into three categories in order to identify which ones need the quickest response. The time taken by crews to reach life-threatening emergencies continued to average at about 6.6 minutes, compared with 9.5 minutes a decade ago.
David Garbutt, chairman of the Scottish Ambulance Service, said: "Despite an exceptionally busy year for our frontline teams, the service is saving more lives than ever before. There are now 200 more cardiac arrest patients being saved by ambulance teams in Scotland every year compared to five years ago and we continue to improve on this every year.
"Our staff are working very hard in an extremely busy environment and every day they continue to provide compassionate, evidenced-based care for patients in often very challenging circumstances. Their commitment and dedication to patients is exceptional."
The air ambulance service flew 3,559 missions, an increase of 5% on the previous year.
The service also said that more than 86,000 patients were treated safely at home, avoiding a trip to hospital.
Mr Garbutt added: "Ambulance teams are working with the wider NHS and social services to implement more new and integrated clinical pathways that enable the safe delivery of clinical care in the community.
"Falls are the largest single presentation for ambulance response and the service responded to over 71,000 cases last year.
"The development of integrated community care pathways to safely treat elderly falling patients has resulted in a 15% reduction in the numbers being taken to hospital by ambulance."
Earlier this year a senior Scottish paramedic called for a new system of targets for ambulance response times.
Anthony Haley, a team leader in the Scottish Ambulance Service, said targets should be adjusted to reflect which incidents needed a fast response.
The Scottish Ambulance Service said it had already made changes to ensure the most appropriate response takes place.
There were only 124 "disengagement" incidents last year, where a driver had to take control of a test vehicle on public roads, down from 341 in 2015.
The cars drove nearly 636,000 miles last year, compared with just over 424,000 in 2015.
Other states in the US do not require such reporting.
The California Department of Motor Vehicles published the annual reports on Wednesday.
Under law, every company that has a state permit to test autonomous vehicles in California must report how many times a driver had to intervene.
"Disengagements are a natural part of the testing process that allow our engineers to expand the software' s capabilities and identify areas of improvement," Waymo said in its report.
The most common reasons for interventions in Waymo cars were "software discrepancies, unwanted manoeuvres of the vehicle and perception discrepancies", according to the company.
Of the 124 incidents, only 10 were caused by the "reckless" behaviour of another road user.
Beyond Waymo's impressive results, the news was generally good.
Cruise, the start-up leading General Motors' autonomous driving development, upped its testing in San Francisco markedly. It went from driving fewer than five miles in June 2015, to nearly 400 in June 2016.
It reported 414 disengagements in almost 10,000 miles of driving in 2016 overall.
For some companies the records show a very small amount of mileage covered by the autonomous cars.
In other US states with self-driving regulations - including Nevada, Michigan, and Florida - there is no requirement for public disclosure of this type of data, which is why, for example, not much is known about Uber's autonomous vehicle testing.
Ford only reported 590 miles driven in 2016, all in the month of March. It only has two autonomous cars in California, but has a much larger fleet in Michigan, where reporting is not required.
Meanwhile BMW recorded one disengagement in its 638 miles of autonomous driving in March and April 2016, because lane markings on Highway 101 were not clear enough. The operator's reaction time was recorded as "under two seconds".
The companies that reported to the California DMV were: BMW, Bosch, GM Cruise, Delphi Automotive Systems, Ford, Waymo, Honda, Nissan North America, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla and Volkswagen.
In the UK, Volvo is expected to begin testing its autonomous cars on the roads this year.
Nova Welsh was found dead in a cupboard at her home in Birmingham in 1981.
Advances in DNA science led to Osmond Bell's conviction. His DNA was found on chewing gum used to secure a lock on a cupboard containing her body.
Bell, 60, was found guilty of manslaughter by a majority verdict. He was jailed for 12 years.
Read more news for Birmingham and the Black Country
Jurors at Birmingham Crown Court, who had deliberated for more than a week, cleared Bell of murder.
Ms Welsh, who was 24-years-old, had two children under the age of six with Bell.
During his trial, the court was told a "one-in-a-billion" profile matching Bell was also discovered on a letter sent to try to deflect suspicion for Ms Welsh's killing.
Bell, of Regent Road, Handsworth, denied playing any part in Ms Welsh's death, claiming to have been subjected to a "dark and terrible" four-day police interrogation in the days after her body was found.
The former television engineer claimed he had been allowed to handle and read the letter during a break in police interviews.
He was charged with murder in August last year after a cold case review.
Ms Welsh is believed to have been killed in the early hours of 27 July 1981 at flats in Lighthorne Avenue, Ladywood, and her body was not discovered for up to three weeks.
A post mortem revealed she died from pressure to the neck.
Sentencing Bell, Judge Patrick Thomas QC said there had been a background of domestic violence but that Ms Welsh had broken free.
When Ms Welsh got a new boyfriend, "making use of her freedom", "jealous" Bell was unable to let go and he attacked her in her flat, he said.
The judge said: "The evidence you felt jealous of her new relationship is clear."
He added: "Having killed her, you concealed her body, doing nothing to assuage the pain and grief of your own children."
The judge said there was no evidence the killing had been pre-planned but had resulted from "a quarrel in her home".
Bell was told he would serve half his sentence behind bars and half out on licence.
His barrister Jeremy Dein QC, said the crime had been "almost certainly in panic by a man of 24" who had since lived an unblemished life of good character.
Following the verdict, Ms Welsh's mother, Lorna Welsh, said her daughter could finally "rest in peace".
"The family can now have closure knowing the person who took Nova's life has been brought to justice," she said.
The ship, carrying more than 100,000 litres of fuel, was stopped near the northern maritime border last week.
Vietnamese media say the crew admitted they were supplying fuel to Chinese fishing boats in the area.
Vietnam and China are locked in a dispute over overlapping claims in the South China Sea.
The government-owned Vietnam News Agency said the seized vessel had been disguised as a fishing boat.
It was discovered in waters near the Vietnamese island of Bach Long Vi and the Chinese island of Hainan last Thursday.
The captain and two crew members have since been arrested, said the reports.
Vietnamese newspapers quoted authorities as saying the crew did not produce the required work permits and documentation on the origin of the oil.
There has been no comment from China.
Hanoi has frequently complained about the presence of Chinese fishing vessels in the disputed areas, as well as the harassment of its own fishing boats by Chinese authorities.
China has angered several of its neighbours with growing assertiveness over its claims in the South China Sea, with aggressive land reclamation on disputed reefs and islands and the increasing presence of civilian vessels and coast guard boats. | East Dunbartonshire Council has been told it must "significantly up its game" by a local authority watchdog.

But at what cost?
The fumes that come out of vehicle exhaust pipes play a big role in the rise of air pollution - a problem linked with thousands of deaths in Scotland and across the UK each year.
St John's Road in Edinburgh is like many streets throughout the country. People live here and it's home to many businesses.
It's also attracted the unwanted title of Scotland's most polluted street.
So what do those who live and work here make of that?
Lucy's Cafe is a popular spot for locals, and there's a mixed reaction here from customers.
Working behind the counter is Lucy herself, who tells me: "When I was quitting smoking, I was going for check-ups every week and because of the air pollution, I never got down to zero."
Another customer adds: "I go outside for a bit of fresh air, but you don't get fresh air, not with all the vans and lorries passing."
But not everyone is convinced.
Andy Atkinson, a bronchitis sufferer, says: "I blame the little machines not always giving the proper recording.
"You just need one bus to come along, a plume of black smoke and it probably gives false readings."
The annual average European legal limit for the pollutant nitrogen dioxide, which is linked to asthma and other respiratory problems, is set at 40 microgrammes per cubic metre.
But new research from Friends of the Earth Scotland, collected from official monitoring stations, says it was breached on streets across the country in 2015.
Here's the environmental group's list of shame:
Friends of the Earth Scotland also collected data on particulate matter - tiny particles which are pumped into the air by diesel vehicles.
And it said that streets in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Perth, Glasgow, Dundee, Falkirk and Rutherglen failed to meet Scottish air quality standards.
Friends of the Earth air pollution campaigner Emilia Hanna said: "If you're breathing in air pollution day-in, day-out, you're more likely to have a stroke or heart attack.
"If you're asthmatic you might find that your symptoms are worsened."
Two months ago the Scottish government set a target to make Scotland's air the best in Europe.
Ministers say there have been "significant reductions" in air pollutants since 1990, but recognise more needs to be done.
The government says £3m has been earmarked for councils to help them improve air quality, as well as additional funding for schemes like the Green Bus Fund.
Ministers want councils to play their part - but councils say to do that, they need more cash.
Lesley Hinds, Edinburgh City Council's transport and environment convener, said 97% of streets in the Scottish capital actually pass air quality tests, adding that the authority was working on the rest.
She said the city was also trying to make busses greener and get more people on bikes, but in a time of cuts, warned: "There's no way we can introduce a low-emissions strategy in the city with the Scottish government unless we can get extra resources."
The Scottish government is facing the threat of court action if it fails to tackle illegal levels of air pollution in the country's biggest cities, from environmental law organisation ClientEarth.
It has already won a landmark ruling against the Westminster government, after the UK's highest court ruled must take immediate action to cut air pollution.
And there are moves afoot at European level.
The revelation the carmaker Volkswagen had emission-deceiving devices on its vehicles became an international scandal.
That prompted the European Parliament to consider imposing new car pollution limits - but a vote on the issue due to take place this week has now been postponed as politicians consider whether to make those limits even tougher.
For residents living in congested cities like Edinburgh, that means further delay.
Meanwhile, campaigners continue to argue air pollution is now at the heart of a major health crisis. | We are all used to the sight of cars and other vehicles on our roads - they are a vital part of everyday life. | 35,333,071 | 876 | 28 | false |
A scan revealed in 2012 that James Docherty had terminal cancer.
But he was not told until 2013 after his family informed his GP he was still awaiting test results. He died in August 2014.
The Scottish government said it was considering introducing a deadline for patients to be given scan results.
In 2009 ministers set a target that no-one should wait more than six weeks for key diagnostic tests to be performed.
However, in June of this year, 6,448 people had waited longer, a figure that has risen four-fold in just two years.
While there is a target for receiving tests, there is no similar target for analysing them and telling people the results.
Mr Docherty's daughter, Catherine Oliphant, said her father, who was from Airdrie, had a lesion in his liver which nobody had told him about.
She added: "There was no follow up, nothing. It was progressive, aggressive cancer. If he had known sooner, would it have been operable? Would he have had longer with chemotherapy? We're never going to know."
The Royal College of Radiologists says waits have risen because its workload is "unsustainable".
Consultant radiologist Grant Baxter said: "We are very much a specialty under pressure. We want to have the best environment for patients but we can't do that on current numbers.
"For a country the size of Scotland we have half the radiologists per head of population compared to the rest of the western world. We need to increase these numbers. Radiology and imaging is at the beginning of a process and without it, other treatment can't go ahead."
In June, more than 60,000 people were waiting for key diagnostic tests, which include radiology, ultrasound, MRI and CT scans, and endoscopies. They are essential to diagnose serious illness including cancer.
Last month the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman strongly criticised NHS Lanarkshire for failing to tell Mr Docherty the results of his scan.
NHS Lanarkshire apologised to Mr Docherty's family and said it would ensure action was taken to address the issues raised.
The Royal College of Radiologists says the workload of radiology departments has risen by 11-13% every year but this has not been matched by an increase in staff. It says 45 jobs are currently "underfilled".
Mr Baxter added: "The workload has increased but also the complexity has increased.
"If I look at my job now compared to 25 years ago it is almost completely different. We do a lot more in radiology. We do work surgeons used to do.
"At night, if you have a bleeding patient the radiologist is the person who is going to come in and cure them in a lifesaving procedure. We treat cancers now by putting a needle into a patient and heating it up. It's a lot more time consuming, therefore we need a lot more radiologists to do this work."
The Scottish government said a comparison of waiting times over a longer period showed a trend of improvement.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "Under this government there have been advances. For example, in 2006, more than 10,600 patients were waiting more than nine weeks for these tests.
"In contrast, statistics for this summer show that fewer than 6,500 people were waiting more than the shorter timescale of six weeks.
"That is an encouraging long-term trend but there is substantial rising demand, with 75% more patients for diagnostics in the last five years and we know we need to cut waits further for these key tests and drive improvements."
The government had also expanded the number of consultant clinical radiologists by more than 40%, she added.
Ms Robison later told BBC Scotland: "We're in the middle of looking at targets as part of the national conversation and I have to say is what I'm told all the time is that we have too many targets.
"We need to get the right targets and certainly that's something that I'm willing to consider."
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society confirmed a "substance" was used on the cow's udders, contravening show rules.
Chief Executive Nigel Pulling said the competitor's animal had been banned with immediate effect.
"We take any allegation of tampering very seriously as the welfare of animals is paramount," he said.
The Society confirmed the breach was discovered on Tuesday, the first day of the show in Harrogate.
The animal and others entered by the exhibitor have been barred from taking part in the event for three years.
The competitor can appeal.
The show's rules state any interference with an animal which has an affect on its milk flow will lead to disqualification.
Mr Justice O'Hara ruled that the step was necessary due to the real and serious risk of harm to the two-year-old girl as her mother switches from one identity to another.
In one episode last year the woman, referred to as P, tried to take her own life while she was looking after her child, identified only as M.
Deciding such interference with their human rights was unavoidable, the judge set out how the little girl would find it emotionally confusing to see her mother's personality alter between that of a four-year-old, a teenager and a woman in her 20s.
He said: "This is not a fanciful description of what can happen - it is the reality of P's life, caused overwhelmingly by the sordid conduct and abuse by others which leaves her in my judgment, for the present at least, unable to care for M."
The woman, now aged 26, suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
Although now separated from M's father, she is again pregnant by him.
In December last year, a health and social care trust involved in the case removed the girl from P after she attempted to take her own life.
Following that intervention, the trust went to court seeking a care order for M.
The application was opposed by P, who claimed the move was unjustified and argued it was wrong to deprive the child of the care of a mother who has never harmed her.
However, M's father backed proposals for his mother and stepfather to become her primary carers.
Assessments carried out by experts in personality disorders agreed that P is deeply affected by her psychiatric condition.
One psychologist concluded that her disorder is the product of severe, recurrent childhood trauma at the hands of a number of sexual abusers, the court heard.
In a newly published judgment, Mr Justice O'Hara said: "In an effort to cope with this abuse her mind has shattered into fragmented states or personalities."
She can suffer amnesia and switch from one identity to another with regularity.
As part of efforts to cope P has tried to develop a pattern of leaving notes for the next personality to be informed by.
Some of her identities can be young girls under 10, or teenagers with different behaviour patterns.
Therapeutic intervention takes a minimum of five years, according to the expert evidence.
Even then, some patients do not revert to a single personality.
Despite the fact M has never been physically harmed by her mother, a psychologist in the case was clear that she is at significant ongoing risk.
She emphasised that nobody knows what goes on in P's mind as she switches between personalities.
The possibility of P being contacted by one of her abusers was said to be a major concern.
With Mr Justice O'Hara deciding it is likely to take years of "emotionally exhausting, painful and difficult therapy" before P can be considered as a full-time carer, he said he was satisfied the grandparents can provide a stable and secure home for M.
He added: "Sadly within her evidence she herself expressed exactly what the problem is without realising it when she said M 'has five personalities as main carers and all are very unified for her'.
"I do not suggest that she would deliberately harm M physically, but there is a clear and substantial risk of such harm as she switches from one identity or alters to another one such as a child under 10.
"I regret that a care order is inescapable in all the circumstances."
As part of his judgment he also directed that mother and daughter should, at first, continue to have weekly contact.
"I find that a reduction to less than once per week would be an excessive and unjustified interference with the rights of this family," he added.
The Euro 2016 semi-finalists are bidding to reach their first World Cup since 1958 and Tottenham's Davies thinks Austria is a key contest.
"It is definitely one of the hardest games we have, in their last qualification they did well," he said.
"But our group is going to be tough all round. A lot of teams can take points off each other and probably will."
He continued: "Our focus is on ourselves and our own performances. I think that is the right way to look at it.
"We want to continue the success we have had.
"But we know Austria are very strong, especially at home."
Wales are currently top of qualifying Group D after their opening day victory against Moldova, level on points with Austria, who opened their account with a 2-1 win over Georgia.

Tom Bradshaw has been called up as a replacement.
Barnsley striker Bradshaw's one previous appearance for Wales was a second-half substitute in a 1-0 friendly loss away to Ukraine in March.
The 24-year-old was part of Wales' pre-Euro 2016 training camp in Portugal but failed to make the 23-man squad for France.
Bradshaw is one of three late call-ups to Coleman's side.
Barnsley teammate Adam Davies has replaced goalkeeper Danny Ward and Andrew Crofts deputises for Cardiff's Jazz Richards [ligament damage].
There was better news for Wales with Joe Allen taking part in Tuesday's training session after the influential midfielder reported no reaction to a hamstring problem.
Allen had a tight hamstring before Stoke's visit to Manchester United on Sunday, but he played a full 90 minutes at Old Trafford and scored in the 1-1 draw.
Sgt Robert Bye won the award for storming a series of German strong points at the start of the battle of Passchendaele, 100 years ago.
He moved to Warsop in Nottinghamshire and its inner relief road will become Robert Bye Way in his honour.
Organisers said the sign did not carry the letters "VC" to reflect his modesty about his wartime exploits.
Mr Bye, who was born in Pontypridd and served with the Welsh Guards, was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions at the Yser canal on 31 July 1917 - the first day of the three-month battle.
His company came under machine-gun fire from a heavily fortified system of blockhouses.
He single-handedly destroyed one blockhouse and led men to take several more, capturing 70 enemy soldiers.
Mr Bye came to live in Warsop in 1925 with his wife Mabel. They had two sons and two daughters.
Project co-ordinator Adrian Hardy said Mr Bye's surviving daughter Mary Moody described him as a modest man who hardy ever spoke about his VC - the highest award available to the British and Commonwealth armed forces for gallantry in action with the enemy.
"But we felt it was right that he should be remembered in the town he made his home," Mr Hardy said.
"He was a big part of the community; he was a special constable and helped the British Legion."
Mr Bye was also awarded the Legion d'Honneur by the French government.
There will be dedication event on Sunday and a plaque is planned for Warsop parish church.
Mr Bye, who worked at Warsop and Welbeck collieries, died in 1962.

The Belfast fighter was expected to turn professional after this Olympics but this defeat means he will leave amateur boxing on an extremely sour note.
"I came for gold and I've been cheated. I'll not do another Olympics. I would advise anybody not to compete for the AIBA (Amateur International Boxing Association).
"At the end of the first round, it had been so easy, so comfortable, I wasn't even out of breath. I said 'I'll win this easy'. But I was told I was down. I had to go to war.
"I fought him at his own game. I pulled back that second round then I outfought him in the last round.
"I've been robbed of my Olympic dream."
Conlan appeared to do the better work in the opening round but all three judges gave it on a 10-9 scoreline to 2013 world championship silver medallist Nikitin.
The Belfast bantamweight looked to have the momentum after taking round two 10-9 on all three cards.
And he seemed to be producing the cleaner work as the fight turned into a brawl, but Nikitin was given the verdict by all the judges.
Conlan's contentious defeat followed a hugely controversial decision in Monday's heavyweight boxing final when another Russian, Evgeny Tishchenko, was given the verdict over Kazakhstan's Vassiliy Levit.
The Irish bantamweight's exit also came a day after his team-mate, London 2012 gold medallist Katie Taylor, suffered a shock quarter-final defeat in the lightweight division.
A positive drugs test for Laois middleweight Michael O'Reilly got Ireland's Rio boxing campaign off to the worst possible start and a shock defeat for 2012 bronze medallist Paddy Barnes continued a week of woe.
Another big medal hope, light-heavyweight Joe Ward, was among the early casualties.
Conlan's defeat means the Irish boxing team will return home with no medals after winning three in London.

Dai Lloyd, chairman of the committee and a Plaid Cymru AM, said: "The committee agrees with almost all of the provisions within the Public Health (Wales) Bill, but we are absolutely convinced that the age of consent for intimate piercings should be 18 years old."
He said that "given the weight of evidence from medical and environmental health professionals regarding the significant harm an intimate piercing can do to a still developing body" AMs were not convinced by public health minister Rebecca Evans's rationale for choosing the age of 16.
"We welcome her commitment to consider this matter further," Mr Lloyd said.
He added that the committee was "extremely concerned that the list of offences excluding people from gaining a licence for special procedures, including intimate piercings, does not currently include sexual offences."
The committee wanted such a restriction to be added to the bill.
The Public Health Bill has returned to the assembly after it failed to be passed by AMs in 2016.
Plaid Cymru AMs had blocked its passage over the controversial e-cigarette restrictions, following controversial comments by former government minister Leighton Andrews that suggested a deal with the party was a "cheap date".
The e-cigarette provision has now been removed, but ministers have kept proposals on public toilets, tattoo licensing and a ban on smoking in school playgrounds, among other measures.

Some states have even extended the ban to the slaughter of bulls and bullocks as well.
Cattle farmers in the western state of Maharashtra speak to the the BBC's Sameer Hashmi about their plight.
The train station was evacuated after claims that a bomb was left there, while Quarry Steps at Spencer Road was also cordoned off in a separate alert.
A suspicious object was then discovered by officers in the Alfred Street and Clooney Terrace area at 23:00 GMT.
Police later said "nothing untoward" was found at any of the alerts.
The underground car park at Ebrington, where DJ James Zabiela was playing, was evacuated as army bomb experts examined the object.
There were three alerts in Derry over the weekend. The railway line between Coleraine and Derry was closed for a time while searches were carried out.
The alerts happened along the Apprentice Boys parade route.
Ramsay Macdonald was backed by just 14 out of 287 of his parliamentary colleagues, and he was prime minister; but that was August 1931, and Macdonald had just agreed to form a National Government with Conservatives and Liberals, after his cabinet failed to agree on public spending cuts.
Historical analogy doesn't take you very far when considering the crisis paralysing the Labour Party today, but it does point out the very real risk division poses. In the general election which followed, Labour was left with just 46 MPs.
Labour leadership
The pacifist and principled former leader almost destroyed the party he'd helped to found, and was never forgiven for it. As David Marquand observes in his hefty biography,
"In the offices of the London Labour Party, Herbert Morrison [a former colleague] turned MacDonald's picture to the wall; in miners' cottages in Aberavon, men and women who had once followed him as a 'Messiah' did the same."
Of course, it may not only be the leader who gets punished if Labour goes into the next election still divided. One Labour MP, denouncing Jeremy Corbyn as an "extremist", told me he would tell his own constituents they could safely vote for him because the party couldn't win the election in such circumstances and there was no risk of Mr Corbyn becoming prime minister. He and colleagues would, if necessary, fight their campaigns as 'local' Labour.
It's worth noting, though, that even among MPs who are not supporters of Corbyn, there's irritation over the party rebellion. One who's been in the Commons for more than 20 years told me some colleagues should spend more time talking to their party members.
"They don't like getting their hands dirty," he said, suggesting Labour's electoral problems are more deep seated than who is leader.
Now that Angela Eagle appears to be preparing a challenge to Mr Corbyn's leadership, there are two potential problems weighing on the minds of his opponents.
First, he appears still to have support from the party members and registered and affiliated supporters who voted for him. Last summer, he won with almost 60% of the vote. He's unlikely to do so well this time - MPs report cases of 'buyer's remorse' in their local parties among some who voted for him then - but he would still start as favourite.
This week, a Labour peer showed me #savinglabour, a social media group which is trying to get sympathisers to register as supporters so they can take part in the leadership vote. It mirrors the tactic of Jeremy Corbyn's allies a year ago who encouraged people on the left who weren't in the Labour Party to become supporters.
Last year, David Owen, one of those who split from Labour and founded the SDP, told me he too had registered as a supporter and voted in the election; though I think I'd put money on it not having been a vote for Jeremy Corbyn. Those opposed to the current leader need more David Owens, although I doubt they'd put it quite like that.
There's another problem for the Westminster rebels: the law. First, as has been widely reported, there's conflicting legal opinion about the rules for a leadership contest: is Corbyn, as incumbent leader, automatically entitled to be on the ballot paper; or must he be re-nominated by MPs?
Last year, he was only able to enter the contest because a number of MPs who had no intention of voting for him nominated him anyway in order to ensure a broad debate; without them he wouldn't have had the numbers. I've been told that when the party's ruling body the NEC makes a decision to resolve this ambiguity on nominations, whichever side loses is bound to apply for a judicial review.
Second, there's the Electoral Commission. It polices descriptions used by election candidates. This is designed to stop voters being misled (remember the Literal Democrat who peeled off votes from a Lib Dem?).
So if Mr Corbyn is still leader come the general election, MPs opposed to him would probably find it difficult if they wanted to use labels like independent Labour, anti-Corbyn Labour, or Trumpton Labour.
Jeremy Corbyn isn't Labour's only leader at Westminster. Baroness Smith, the party's canny leader in the House of Lords, and Lord Bassam, the chief whip, are elected by their fellow peers (a group even less sympathetic to Mr Corbyn than his MPs); hence, why they've boycotted meetings of the shadow cabinet without facing the sack.
In the Lords, it's business as usual for the party. Labour peers feel they've had a good few months, forcing the government, for example, to back down on changes to union finances that could have cost their party millions in lost funding, and inflicting the key defeat which forced George Osborne to abandon his plans to reduce tax credits.
One frontbencher grumbles that, throughout the battle to defend a subsidy which helps the working poor, nothing was heard from Mr Corbyn.
Despite the unprecedented number of resignations among his team in the Commons, Jeremy Corbyn has managed to fill his shadow cabinet. Yet he'd be unwise to believe that all of those colleagues are supporters. Some have only agreed to serve because they think they have an obligation to the country, their constituents and party members, to oppose the government, not just each other.
Back to where I began. After Ramsay MacDonald took what he believed to be the honourable course of staying in office despite what most of his parliamentary colleagues wanted, he increasingly became a hostage to people who didn't share his politics (Churchill called him "the boneless wonder"). When, after his retirement, friends organised a party,
"… to the great embarrassment of everyone present, Macdonald wound up the occasion with a speech insisting that he was still a socialist and always had been…" (Marquand, Ramsay Macdonald, Cape, 1977)
Might something similar be the fate of Jeremy Corbyn? Or the fate of those who oppose him?

England have not lost a qualifying match since 2009, but Morrison insists that record can work in Scotland's favour because they can play with freedom as underdogs.
"They expect to beat everyone, England," Morrison said.
"So maybe there's not that much pressure on us."
Scotland lost 3-0 at Wembley last November, but they won their last outing against Slovenia thanks to a late Chris Martin goal.
That win kept their slim qualifying hopes alive - with eight of the second-placed teams taking part in two-legged play-offs - and Morrison says the mood among the players is optimistic.
"We're very confident," the 31-year-old midfielder said. "It's a game that we need to get a result out of.
"England are favourites, they've had terrific group stages of late. We'll just go about our business and take confidence from playing under pressure against Slovenia.
"We've got a record of putting on a performance against good teams at Hampden, [like] Spain, Germany, so that's another positive that we can take into it. You've got to put the work in, take the chances when they come and have the belief that we can do it.
"We saw in the last home fixture, the [fans] followed us right to the end and if you keep plugging away, it will come. Chris Martin showed that."
Morrison says the players are becoming accustomed to playing an international fixture several weeks after the domestic campaign ended and that fitness and match sharpness will not be an issue.
"Our main focus is to start the week right, have a good week's training, get to know everybody again and go into the game full of confidence and looking forward to it," Morrison added.
"We've had a nice week's rest, so we're all raring to go. It's now back to business.
"It's always a massive fixture, it's always talked about. One of the highlights of my career [was scoring against England at Wembley in 2013], the ultimate buzz, and I'm looking forward to trying to emulate that."

Merlin operates 99 attractions in 22 countries, and has 54 million visitors to its parks a year.
It says it is the second-largest company of its kind in the world after Walt Disney.
Its other well-known attractions include Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Warwick Castle.
The business has a turnover of £1bn a year and is thought to be worth some £3bn.
The share offer, which will see 20% of the company pass to public investors, is accessible to smaller shareholders with a minimum investment stake of £1,000. Shareholders will also get a one-off 30% discount on certain entry passes for Merlin's theme parks.
The company, which was formed in 1999, says the number of visitors to its parks has grown by 11% a year since 2008.
The company's non-executive chairman, Sir John Sunderland, said: "I have been impressed by the significant growth that Merlin has delivered as a private company.
"But there is more to come and I believe Merlin has a very promising future as a publicly listed company."
Gwent Police is investigating after a member of the public reported the discovery in Wentwood Reservoir.
There is a "possibility" they could be Sandie Bowen, whose husband murdered her in 1997 but never revealed where he hid her body, her daughter said.
The remains have been recovered and are being examined for identification purposes.
Mrs Bowen's daughter Anita Giles said police contacted her and told her they were carrying out examinations to establish if the remains were of her mother.
Forestry worker Mike Bowen was jailed for life in 1998 after his wife's blood and false teeth were found at their home in Llandogo, Monmouthshire.
Throughout his murder trial, he denied any involvement in her disappearance.
While Bowen finally admitted the killing in 2003, he refused to tell police where the body was, with police believing it had been buried in Wentwood forest.
Following the discovery, Ms Giles said police had been in touch with her.
She said: "They've contacted me because there is a possibility it may be my mother, but they won't know until the autopsy has been done - which could take up to two months."
Dyke presented his proposals aimed at improving the future of the English game to club owners and executives.
But Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey says it was not popular.
"It's fair to say there is no appetite among clubs for the use of B teams or Strategic Loan Partnerships in the football pyramid," he said.
Dyke warns that failure to adopt his plans to improve English football could lead to a bleak future for homegrown talent.
At the heart of the FA commission's four-point plan is the creation of a new tier within the Football League to accommodate Premier League B teams.
There is also a call for a ban on non-European Union players outside of the top-flight, the development of "strategic loan partnerships" between clubs, as well as a reduction in non-homegrown players in Premier League squads.
Harvey admits that other aspects of Dyke's plans were more well received during a two-hour briefing at a conference in Portugal.
He added: "They did share his overriding concern about the development of young English footballers and supported a number of the report's other recommendations.
"We will continue to work with the FA to help find solutions that will be supported across the whole game."
In its first week it outsold the rest of the top 500 combined and became the fastest-selling album ever by a male artist.
Ed is also number one on the singles chart. And number two. And number three, four, five, six,..
Actually let's save some time: Ed Sheeran holds 16 places on this week's top 20 - a chart first.
In its opening week, Divide sold four times more than the fastest-selling album of 2016 - David Bowie's Blackstar.
Sheeran now has the third fastest-selling album in UK chart history, behind Adele and Oasis.
Now is probably a good time to dig a little deeper into how Sheeran got to this point and have a look at just how much further an artist can go after such phenomenal success.
Ed's five-album plan
Sheeran has often spoken about how he mapped out his career route early on.
He'd ingeniously come up with the idea of using maths symbols as titles for his first five studio albums.
His three releases to date have been named + (Plus), x (Multiply), and ÷ (Divide).
To add another element to the themed series - each album has a different colour scheme.
The cover for his debut was bathed in orange, while Multiply was coated in bright green and Divide a light pastel blue.
He isn't the first artist to have a hugely successful series of albums with uniformed titles.
Adele's first three were called 19, 21 and 25 after her age at the time of writing them.
It's likely = (Equals) and - (Subtract) will be strong contenders for Ed's next two records.
Unless he wants to go with π (pie).
Have we now reached peak Sheeran?
Don't be ridiculous. You can never have enough Ed Sheeran.
However, his monumental success does raise the question of how he could possibly ever match the dizzy heights of Divide.
Pop music is littered with bands and artists who have struggled to grow artistically after the first few albums, so he'll have to tread carefully going forward.
He may well follow in the footsteps of Beyonce and Coldplay - who both used their fourth albums to take a new artistic direction.
Beyonce's 4 saw her singing in a lower register than she had done previously and experimenting with new genres.
It paved the way for her critically-acclaimed fifth album and 2016's groundbreaking Lemonade.
Similarly, Coldplay's first three albums broadly stuck to the same mould, but the band surprised many when they returned with Viva La Vida.
Its lead single Violet Hill took Coldplay in a new direction and opened the door for their later albums Mylo Xyloto and A Head Full of Dreams - which were far less constrained by any particular genre.
So, where does this leave Ed Sheeran?
The bonus tracks on Divide might give us a clue.
The deluxe edition of the album features four extra songs not included in the standard 12-track edition.
A couple of these more experimental bonus tracks show a different side to Sheeran, and show how easily he can transcend different musical styles.
The fans certainly seemed to have reacted well to them.
Two of the bonus tracks - Barcelona and the folksy Nancy Mulligan - actually charted in higher positions than some of the main songs on the album in this week's chart.
It could well be a sign that his next two albums will be his most creative yet.
Stadium heights
Regardless of where he might go musically, there's little doubt about where Ed is headed on the live music circuit.
"I won't stop 'til my name's in lights at stadium heights," Sheeran sang in one of his earliest hits - You Need Me, I Don't Need You.
In 2017, he has several dates lined up at huge venues such as The O2 in London.
While an arena tour would normally mark the peak of a band's career, the most successful artists can climb to the very top tier.
"In 2018, we just do stadiums," Stuart Camp, Sheeran's manager, recently told Music Week.
"We knew three nights at the O2 would be underplay... but we can't do stadiums all the time because they're weather dependent, so we knew we'd do arenas first."
"But in summer 2018, there's a lot of outdoor shows, a proper stadium tour."
Songwriting success
Many artists turn to songwriting once they've had enough of performing - or struggle to find fame - for themselves.
Sheeran might be unlikely to retire for quite some time - but he's already started giving some of his songs away to other artists.
He was behind Justin Bieber's monstrous 2015 hit Love Yourself and wrote the most recent X Factor winner's single - When Christmas Comes Around by Matt Terry.
The list goes on - One Direction's Little Things and Jessie Ware's Say You Love Me also had Sheeran's name on the credits.
We're pretty confident plenty more singers would happily take a few songs off his hands if he ever gets sick of worldwide adoration.
Between songwriting, stadiums, and new musical directions, Ed has plenty of time and opportunity to build further on his incredible success.
We look forward to seeing how many more records he'll be able to break along the way.

Leadenhall Market and King's Cross station routinely attract fans looking to reminisce over scenes from the films.
LSE Professor Amitav Chakravarti said he did not see the strength of the Potter pound dwindling any time soon due to the popularity of tourist attractions such as the West End play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
There are still significant hurdles to clear, however. And after months of argument and delay between the Greek government and the lenders, the eurozone wants the new sense of urgency to be maintained.
The risk of Grexit - a Greek exit from the euro - has not gone away. So what are the key points of the deal?
The 31-year-old trainee gas engineer died after being restrained by officers in Kirkcaldy in May 2015.
Lawyer Aamer Anwar said he wanted to know why officers used batons, CS spray, leg restraints and handcuffs to subdue him.
Police Scotland said it could not comment while the case was being investigated.
A BBC documentary tracing the 20 months since the death of Sheku Bayoh will be broadcast on Tuesday night.
In it, Mr Anwar tells the family that a civil action will mean "we are able to ask the questions we want to ask".
He says: "What went on? Was it excessive violence that was used? That is the fundamental question.
"Why did police officers feel the need to have this treatment of Sheku that day and did it result in his death?"
In August last year, 16 months after Mr Bayoh's death, the Police Investigations Review Commissioner (Pirc) provided its report to the Lord Advocate, Scotland's top law officer.
That report remains confidential and the Crown Office is now considering if there should be a criminal prosecution.
The BBC documentary follows the family as they campaign for full disclosure of the facts and try to piece together what happened.
They are shown meeting First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and viewing CCTV footage showing Mr Bayoh's last moments.
At the time Mr Anwar said: "The Bayohs have always said that if Sheku broke the law, then the police had a right to act, but any force used had to be legitimate and proportionate.
"He was not a terrorist, he was not brandishing a knife at police officers, he was not carrying a knife when officers attended, nor was he 6ft-plus with superhuman strength. His family state that he did not deserve to die."
A toxicology report said that the drug MDMA (ecstasy) had been found in Mr Bayoh's system, as well traces of psycho-stimulant A-PVP, sometimes called Flakka. This drug has been linked to erratic behaviour.
Mr Bayoh's partner Collette Bell says: "I'm not prepared to accept anything on the death certificate except positional asphyxiation because if he had not come into contact with the police he would still be here."
In a statement, Police Scotland said: "We have been committed to operating with the Pirc and the Crown Office throughout the investigative process.
"We cannot comment on the events of 3 May 2015 while the Crown evaluates the independent findings submitted by the Pirc."
The Crown Office said: "The Pirc report has been carefully considered. The Crown requires to undertake further work before a decision can be made as to whether or not there should be any criminal proceedings.
"This is a complex investigation and a decision will be made as soon as possible."
The post-mortem examination of Mr Bayoh revealed a series of injuries over his body, face and head, including a deep gash across his forehead.
Police had received a call on 3 May 2015 about a man behaving erratically and brandishing a knife in Kirkcaldy.
Mr Bayoh had taken the drug ecstasy and another drug A-PVP.
CCTV evidence seen by the family shows Mr Bayoh approaching the police at about 07:20. The BBC understands the pictures show that he did not have a knife.
At least two officers said they believed they could be facing a terrorist incident.
At least four, and up to six, officers, including PC Paton, were immediately involved in the encounter.
CS spray and police batons were used and within about 30 seconds, Mr Bayoh was brought to the ground, face down. Handcuffs and leg restraints were applied.
Eyewitness reports suggested that officers were kneeling and lying on Mr Bayoh in order to restrain him.
Less than five minutes after the encounter began, Mr Bayoh was noticed to be unconscious and one officer radioed for an ambulance.
A further five minutes later, the ambulance still had not arrived, and an officer reported to base that Mr Bayoh was no longer breathing.
CPR was attempted by the officers, but Mr Bayoh arrived by ambulance at the town's Victoria Hospital, where his sister works, unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at 09:04.
A post-mortem examination revealed a series of injuries over his body, face and head, including a deep gash across his forehead.
Tiny blood spots, or petechial haemorrhages were discovered in his eyes - a sign of potential asphyxia.
The post-mortem examination declared he had died after taking the drug MDMA, while being restrained.
But a report by a renowned pathologist engaged by the Bayoh family is expected to say the cause of death was positional asphyxia - effectively being suffocated as a result of the position his body was in.
Positional asphyxia is a common cause of death in police custody where restraint is involved.
After Sheku is on BBC Two Scotland at 21:00 on Tuesday 31 January.
Malcolm Turnbull was filmed speaking at an event for the Australian media at Parliament House on Wednesday night.
The traditionally off-the-record speech was made public after a political journalist broke protocol.
But the US embassy in Canberra has said it has taken the remarks "with good humour that was intended".
"We understand that last night's event is equivalent to our own White House Correspondents' Dinner," it said in a statement shortly after the footage was aired.
Australia's ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey, also downplayed the tongue-in-cheek comments.
"I think people see it in context," he said. "I haven't been hauled into the White House and sent back to Australia."
The speech was widely reported in the American media.
Political staffers said a government minister's suggestion that Opposition Leader Bill Shorten was responsible for the leak was "completely wrong".
The journalist behind the leak, the Nine Network's Laurie Oakes, also dismissed claims that it came from the PM himself to combat criticism that he appeared to fawn over Mr Trump during their meeting in New York last month.
One former Australian politician said that the most shocking thing about the speech was that Mr Turnbull had a sense of humour.
Mr Trump and Mr Turnbull recently repaired ties after an acrimonious first phone call over a refugee resettlement deal.
Speaking on Australian morning TV on Friday, Mr Turnbull said his Trump impersonation got "mixed reviews" and that he would not invited to join the cast of Saturday Night Live.
"It's meant to be off-the record," he told the Seven Network.
"Everyone says politicians are too serious, too scripted. You gotta lighten up right? It's Australia."
The Mercedes driver equalled the tally of Scot Jim Clark and Frenchman Alain Prost with his fourth home win in a row to add to his first win for McLaren in 2008.
Hamilton's victory cut his deficit to Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel to just one point in the championship as the German suffered a front-left tyre failure when running third with two laps to go, dropping to seventh.
The same problem had hit Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen the lap before, costing the Finn an almost certain second place, promoting Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas to a Mercedes one-two. Raikkonen recovered to finish third.
Following the podiums celebrations, Hamilton went down to see the crowd, surfing on their outstretched hands and high-fiving as he ran past the adoring throng.
"The support has been incredible this weekend," he said. "I am so proud I could do this for you all. Now the plan is to win the championship."
The drama all unfolded behind Hamilton, whose 57th career victory was among the most straightforward, on a weekend which he started 20 points behind Vettel and needed everything to go his way.
The 32-year-old converted pole position - earned with a spectacular lap on Saturday afternoon - into a first-corner lead and simply drove off into the distance.
Hamilton was 1.6 seconds clear after the first lap before the race was neutralised by a safety car following a collision between the Toro Rosso drivers.
After the restart on lap five, Hamilton edged clear, building a 3.1-second lead after 12 laps and five seconds after 18, before he began to cut loose as the pit stops approached.
Suddenly Hamilton was lapping a second faster than Raikkonen, pulling out five seconds behind Raikkonen made his pit stop on lap 24, Mercedes calling Hamilton in for his stop on the next lap.
Hamilton returned to the track with a 10-second lead over Raikkonen and cruised to the flag as attention now turned to the battle for the remaining podium positions.
Bottas was on an inverted tyre strategy, starting on the soft tyre from ninth place after a five-place penalty for changing his gearbox.
He ran long on his first stint, battling past the cars in front of him and up into fifth place by lap five and then not stopping until lap 32 and rejoined 4.2 seconds behind Vettel with 18 laps to go.
Bottas was soon setting fastest laps and was on Vettel's tail by lap 42.
A first attempt to pass around the outside of Stowe ended with Vettel forcing him wide, but the Ferrari driver then locked a wheel into the tight Vale corner, damaging a front tyre.
Bottas swept by on the Hangar Straight a lap later and set off after Raikkonen. It looked as if the Ferrari driver would hang on until his tyre lost its tread on lap 48, Vettel's going the same way a lap later.
Vettel in the early laps of the race had had a tense fight with Red Bull's Max Verstappen, the two banging wheels out of Stowe corner, Vettel forcing the Dutchman wide and the having the favour returned.
Verstappen hung on but was passed at the pit stops, but he came home fourth after Ferrari's problems.
The Hungarian Grand Prix on 28-30 July is the final race before F1's four-week summer break. It's a tricky circuit with a lot of long corners, and a place where Mercedes might be expected to again have an advantage over Ferrari.
It is the perfect opportunity for Hamilton to take the championship lead outright for the first time this year.
And Hungary is a race where Hamilton already holds the record for most wins in the history of the sport with five. Bodes well...

Winner Lewis Hamilton: "It's never easy. The team were faultless all weekend. Valtteri had an incredible drive to go from ninth.
"I am coming out to crowd surf over there later guys!"
Second placed Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas: "I'm really happy today, It was not an easy race to start from P9. The team did a perfect strategy and I just kept my head down. It's a perfect weekend and well done to Lewis."
Third placed Kimi Raikkonen: "Mercedes were just a bit faster today. And, unfortunately, unlucky situations seem to be following us at the moment.
"It's an unfortunate situation with the tyre at the end but luckily the car stayed in one place. Not happy but we made the best of a bad situation."
Analysis shows a typical list of 12 items would come to £64.25 to cater for six people.
That works out at a cost of £10.71 per person compared with £9.41 in 2015.
Separate research by Good Housekeeping found shoppers could get a bargain on Christmas food if they were prepared to shop around.
Prices were affected by uncertainty caused by the UK's Brexit vote to leave the European Union, as well as normal economic forces as markets readjust following several years of deflation, analysts said.
Analysis by the BBC's England data unit, using figures provided by mySupermarket, found average prices for turkeys, red wine, potatoes and sprouts have all risen above inflation.
For more stories from the BBC England Data Unit follow our Pinterest board.
And figures show the cost of a box of crackers has gone up 41% since 2015 with an average box costing about £10.90, compared with £7.73 a year earlier.
Isn't Christmas meant to be getting cheaper?
The cost of a Christmas dinner is really all about how much shoppers are prepared to pay.
Figures from Good Housekeeping suggest it is possible to feed 8 people for under £20, or £2.48 a head if people shop around and get, for example, their turkey from Asda, sprouts from Aldi, mince pies from Lidl and Christmas cake from Iceland. The magazine says the prices of different Christmas dinner essentials are now 10.8% down since 2009.
However, consumer director Caroline Bloor says the overall cost reduction is down to the big discounters such as Aldi and Lidl. Its figures also look at the cheapest possible options.
The figures from mySupermarket do not take into account discount supermarkets such as Aldi or Iceland but concentrate on the bigger stores, the likes of Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, who are still seen as controlling the UK shopping scene. Their trolley of goods is also based on averages across different stores and categories of products, rather than shopping around.
Experts said people would find the overall cost of Christmas "stable" thanks to a price war between supermarkets resulting in discounts on other items.
Separate analysis by commodity data expert Mintec found weaker Sterling rates had pushed up the price of raisins, butter and milk, all of which added to a rise in the cost of a Christmas pudding.
Quantities are based on those recommended by BBC Good Food except for Christmas pudding, which is a standard size in supermarkets, and wine, which was based on having enough to give everyone two 125ml glasses.
Despite the rise, sprouts have not reached the peak experienced in 2010 when a hard frost resulted in a shortage and sent prices soaring to £9.56 a kilogram. And the overall cost of dinner is still cheaper than that year, when the same goods would have come to more than £77.
Gilhad Simhony, chief executive of mySupermarket said: "Despite Brexit, inflation worries and other current affairs it looks like the price war between supermarkets is keeping the cost of Christmas stable.
"Many items have risen in price beyond inflation expectations, but shoppers are still able to make a saving on their Christmas basket by taking advantage of offers and the fierce competition between retailers."
There were warnings that retailers may hike prices in January as they had been left with little "wiggle room" following the fall in the value of sterling.
Steven Dresser, analyst at Grocery Insight, said: "Since the EU referendum there's been a lot of uncertainty and that doesn't help anyone. The value of sterling has fallen, which makes imported goods more expensive.
"A lot of crackers are made in the Far East. Anything imported from the Far East will go up in cost and we're likely to see that more next year. It doesn't leave retailers with much wiggle room.
"We're also coming out of a period of deflation, with prices having come down since 2012.
"Some prices are just swinging back again."
Forensic evidence linking Jay Jay Kirton, 24, to the crime was found on the steering wheel and gear stick.
He and Richard Cameron, 30, had previously admitted the robbery using knives at DSG Stores, in Bankhead Road, in June last year.
Cameron was jailed for three years and six months.
Kirkton also pleaded guilty to stealing the car involved in the crime, which saw them make off with money and cigarettes.
Sentencing them at the High Court in Paisley, Judge Lord Ericht said it was "a terrifying robbery carried out with knives".
Both had their jail terms reduced because they admitted their guilt.
Police Scotland welcomed the sentencing for what was described as a "calculated and brazen crime".
Det Ch Insp Matt Mackay said: "Thankfully no-one was injured, however the ordeal would have been terrifying for the young shop worker involved. It was only through luck and good fortune that she wasn't seriously injured or worse.
"I hope this serves as a warning to other offenders that such crime will not be tolerated. Any offences will be robustly investigated to ensure those responsible are brought to justice and that the public are kept safe."
Arturo, as he was known, came to the world's attention two years ago, when thousands of people signed a petition asking for him to be transferred to a colder climate in Canada.
But the request was denied, as officials at the Mendoza zoo said he was "too old" to be sedated and moved.
His partner Pelusa died of cancer in 2012, and he was said to have developed depression after that.
A "blood circulation imbalance" caused a general decline in his health and Arturo died on Sunday, the zoo said.
He was already weak due to old age, they added, with failing eyesight and sense of smell. He was blind on his right eye.
In his last days, he suffered loss of appetite and was said to have lost significant weight.
A team was watching the animal and considered putting him to sleep in the case of extreme suffering but, according to the zoo, "nature took its course".
Arturo was brought from the US at the age of eight, and was close to turning 31.
He lived all his life in the zoo in Mendoza, local media said, a city where temperatures can climb above 30C.
Environmental groups including Greenpeace had argued that it was risky to keep polar bears in such a climate, and started a movement to get him out.
But officials also said he was "close to his caretakers" and ruled out his transfer.
He was described as the last polar bear in Argentina, after Winner, who lived in the capital Buenos Aires, died in 2012 during a heat wave.
Polar bears rarely live beyond 25 years.
The Mendoza zoo was closed to visitors last month after more than 60 animals died between December and May. Officials said outbreaks of bacteria and overcrowding were to blame.
Authorities said they wanted to convert it into an ecological park.
Grillo, 23, was tied with America's Kevin Na on 15 under after a three-under 69 in his final round and won at the second extra hole with a birdie.
Rose was 14 under after nine holes but three bogeys in his last six holes saw him finish on 12 under after a 72.
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy carded a three-under 69 to finish nine under.
This was an improvement on his previous two rounds of 71 but not enough to give the world number three a chance of challenging.
Grillo, who had only earned his tour card two weeks ago by winning the second-tier Web.com Tour Championship, held his nerve superbly in the play-off with 32-year-old Na, putting his third shot to within 10 feet of the hole before sinking the putt for victory.
The win earns him $1.08m (£700,000) and a place in the first major of 2016, the Masters in April.
"You say Masters, I can't believe it,'' said Grillo. "When I got the [PGA Tour] card after the Web.com Championship, I saw I was 71 or 72 in the world and said, 'We got a chance of getting top 50 by the end of the year, let's try to get it done.'
"Maybe we can play the tournaments we always wanted to play."
Earlier, Grillo had moved to the top of the leaderboard after beginning the day two shots back, but Na, who birdied four of his last six holes, including a four on the par-five 18th, forced a play-off.
The pair finished a shot ahead of Americans Justin Thomas (69) and Jason Bohn (70) and Tyrone van Aswegen of South Africa (68).
Another South African, Charl Schwartzel, tied with Rose on 12 under, along with American duo Patrick Rodgers and Kyle Reifers.
Brendan Steele, who led after 18, 36 and 54 holes, shot five bogeys in the last six holes for a four-over 76 and trailed home 17th.
Before March 2015, the figure for the region stood at 4% - below the Scottish average of 7% to 10%.
It has now risen to 29% with the national figure also up to 16%.
The training of 10,000 people in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and increased defibrillator numbers are said to have helped tackle the issue.
The Scottish Ambulance Service, NHS Borders, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Borders Council and local charities Avril's Trust, Scottish HART and Kelso Heartbeat have been working together to address the problem.
Their work has been supported by the Scottish government's Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Strategy for Scotland, which was launched in March 2015.
CPR training has taken place across the region, including pupils at various primary and secondary schools, community groups, sports clubs members and the general public.
The British Heart Foundation has also provided CPR training kits to all Scottish Fire and Rescue Service stations in the country for local communities who want to learn the life-saving skills.
In 2014 NHS Borders gifted 50 defibrillators to Scottish HART for use across the region as well as two defibrillators to Borders College who committed to provide their staff and students with CPR training.
The health board's resuscitation officer, Rod McIntosh, said: "Since then NHS Borders has continued to work closely with partner organisations to deliver training and raise awareness of defibrillators in the community.
"We are delighted to see that this collaborative working is delivering positive results and saving lives."
Murray McEwan, Scottish Ambulance Service's national community resilience manager, said that increasing the amount of public access defibrillators had enhanced the chances of survival for a patient suffering an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Communities or groups considering buying an automated external defibrillator (AED) are being advised to check new guidance available online.
Anyone responsible for an AED has been encouraged to register it with pad.scottishambulance.com and www.crowdsav.com.
"By registering a public access defibrillator, the Scottish Ambulance Service will look to provide life-saving instructions as well as advise members of the community on how to use the nearest available defibrillator," said Mr McEwan.
David Farries, local senior officer of Scottish Borders for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, said it was delighted to be involved.
"The SFRS is a key stakeholder in this strategy," he said.
"We are extremely active across the country, providing CPR instruction from all of our community fire stations and also providing an enhanced operational response to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in support of the Scottish Ambulance Service in selected areas including the Borders."
Jim Fraser, SBC's emergency planning officer, said it had provided nearly £20,000 for defibrillators, cabinets and training to local communities and resilient communities groups.
"We are pleased to see this guidance published and would encourage those who already have public access defibrillators to register them with the Scottish Ambulance Service and CrowdSav," he said.
"Doing so could save a life."
A panel of experts was asked to perform a "sanity check" on the endeavour, which is likely to cost well in excess of one billion euros.
The Gravitational Observatory Advisory Team (Goat) says it sees no showstoppers.
It even suggests Esa try to accelerate the project from its current proposed launch date in 2034 to 2029.
Whether that is possible is largely a question of funding. Space missions launch on a schedule that is determined by a programme's budget.
"But after submitting our report, Esa came back to us and asked what we thought might be technically possible, putting aside the money," explained Goat chairman, Dr Michael Perryman.
"We are in the process of finalising a note on that, which will suggest the third quarter of 2029. So, 13 years from now," he told BBC News.
The agency has stated its intention to build a mission that investigates the "gravitational Universe", and is set to issue a call to the scientific community to submit a detailed proposal.
Ripples in the fabric of space-time
Gravitational waves - ripples in space-time - have become the big topic of conversation since their first detection last year by the ground-based Advanced Ligo facilities in the US.
Using a technique known as laser interferometry, the labs sensed the fantastically small disturbance at Earth generated by the merger of two black holes more than a billion light-years away.
The discovery opens up a completely new way to do astronomy, allowing scientists to probe previously impenetrable regions of the cosmos and to test some of the fundamental ideas behind general relativity - Einstein's theory of gravity.
The Goat says the stunning detection by Ligo is a game-changer: "In a single step, gravitational wave astronomy has been placed on a secure observational footing, opening the panorama to the next robust steps in a space-based gravitational wave observatory."
That was not the case when the panel started its work. Then, there were many people who thought a detection might be beyond our measurement capability.
The Goat believes that any space-borne observatory Esa might pursue should proceed using the same technical approach as Advanced Ligo - laser interferometry.
The agency is currently doing experiments in orbit that will prove some of the equipment needed on a future gravitational wave observatory. But the Goat also identifies critical additional developments that must now be prioritised to take the laser approach into space.
That said, there is also encouraging support in the report for an alternative detection concept called atom interferometry. This is too immature at the moment to be a contender, the Goat says, but it could benefit from a technology demonstration mission in the near future.
Since the 1980s, scientists have been working on a system to detect gravitational waves from orbit called Lisa - the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna.
It would fly a network of satellites separated by a few million kilometres.
Lasers fired between these spacecraft would sense ripples in space-time generated by much more massive objects than the black holes seen by Ligo. Lisa's targets would be the monster black holes, millions of times the mass of our Sun, that coalesce when galaxies collide, for example.
Future Lisa: How many lasers can you fly?
Lisa was previously proposed as a joint venture between Europe and the US.
When the Americans then ran into funding difficulties and pulled out, scientists on the European side "de-scoped" the mission to try to make it fit within the financial envelope available at the time. Many commentators thought this revised design compromised the science to an unacceptable degree.
Researchers on both sides of the Atlantic are now pushing hard to go back to the old arrangement.
This potentially represents something of a headache for Esa's hierarchy.
Following the American withdrawal, the European Space Agency instigated a "rule" that foreign contributions to its missions should in future represent no more than 20% of the overall cost.
The restriction was designed to ensure that no mission could be scuppered by a sudden change of heart from an international partner.
But this financial ceiling may have to be broken if the US is to come back onboard and participate in the type of space mission that gravitational wave scientists most want to see fly.
The Goat "suggests that such a mission will be more robust, and provide a greater science return per euro, if the US could consider a larger contribution, including a re-establishment of a meaningful collaboration."
The call to formally propose a new mission and its architecture should go out within the next 12 months.
"It is to be determined precisely when, but within the year," confirmed Dr Fabio Favata, head of Esa's Science Planning and Community Coordination Office.
"The call will ask the community to define a realistic mission in detail. In the meantime, we are already in discussions with our member states and Nasa about who could do what, at least in the study phase. The implementation phase would take more time, of course."

Radio - the main source of news - had a role in the 1994 genocide. Notorious "hate" station Radio Tele Libre Mille Collines (RTLM) was a vehicle for virulent anti-Tutsi propaganda.
Reporters Without Borders accused officials of "reinforcing news control" in the run-up to 2010 elections. The watchdog says government "hounding" of journalists "forces them into exile or often results in their arrest".
Newspaper readership is limited and press titles often exercise self-censorship.

Michael Schumacher's wife Corinna has spent the past five weeks by the seven-time Formula 1 champion's bedside.
Initially staying at a hotel close to Grenoble hospital, she is now understood to be making daily 100-mile (160km) journeys from the family's home near Gland in Switzerland.
She has been joined by other relatives including her husband's racing-driver brother Ralf Schumacher and the couple's children, Gina Marie, 16, and Mick, 14, who was skiing with his father when he fell and hit his head on a rock on 29 December 2013.
While some fans are already turning to social media to celebrate unconfirmed reports that Michael Schumacher has started blinking and responding to reflex tests, his family is under immense pressure as they observe the doctors trying to communicate with him.
"Waking from a coma is not like how it is portrayed in the movies," says Luke Griggs, spokesman for Headway, the UK's leading charity for people living with brain injuries.
"It can be a very gradual process that can take several days or weeks. For the family, the initial fear about whether or not the individual will survive is replaced by fear of what the future will hold and what level of recovery their loved one will make."
Patients usually start by opening their eyes, then responding to pain and finally by reacting to people talking to them.
It is a sequence of events that is a vivid recent memory for Mark Smith, a British paramedic whose 16-year-old son Ryan was in a medically induced coma after a cycling accident in July 2013. He remains in hospital where he is being treated for physical and mental health problems.
"Unfortunately the public perception is that people just wake up and start their everyday activities after a couple of days. That's not the case. It is very slow; there are no finite answers. You just have to stay hopeful that you will get interaction back one day."
Ryan said his first words just before Christmas and last Thursday he managed to update his Facebook status for the first time, using his tablet computer. He said simply, using a swear word, that he was feeling unwell.
His father has asked the public to forgive his language and added "the fact that he can have feelings again is just quite immense, so we look past what he has written!"
Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has spoken about his wife Mindy's bravery after a high-speed car crash left him in a coma in 2006.
Last month he told BBC Radio 5 live's Breakfast programme that Schumacher's accident had stirred terrible memories for her, whereas he has little recollection of his time in hospital.
"As far as my family is concerned, for my wife particularly, it was quite shocking to hear of it because she can empathise immediately with Michael's family," he said.
Writing in the Daily Mirror, he added: "My heart goes out to his family and everyone around him because they can't do anything but hope he gets better."
Doctors caring for Michael Schumacher at Grenoble University Hospital haven't commented on how he is responding to their latest tests and treatment.
At their last news conference in December, the head of the intensive care unit was clear that the helmet he was wearing had saved his life.
"Without a helmet, he wouldn't be here now," Prof Jean-Francois Payen told reporters.
According to research published in The Lancet, approximately a fifth of adults with a severe traumatic brain injury make a good recovery.
But many more die or are left with enduring disability.
A source close to Michael Schumacher has briefed journalists in Grenoble that his family is aware that things could change quickly "even for the worse".
Dr Peter Kirkpatrick, a leading British neurosurgeon based at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge, says that it is "extremely unlikely" that Michael Schumacher will return to his previous level of health, although he insists it is "medically possible".
Michael Schumacher's multimillion dollar fortune gives his family the resources to buy in private healthcare for the star.
They are already being supported by Gerard Saillant, a trauma surgeon who operated on Schumacher when he broke his leg in a race crash in 1999.
The charity Headway advises that the experience of a head injury tends to make strong marriages and relationships stronger and troubled relationships more troubled.
Corinna and Michael Schumacher have been married for almost twenty years and one thing the German media agree on is that they have a solid foundation.
The driver is reported to have told Germany's ZDF TV channel that they have never had a serious fight.
But head injuries can have an impact on even the strongest of spouses.
Olympic rower James Cracknell has written about how his marriage to broadcaster Beverley Turner changed after he sustained a head injury while cycling in 2010 and had to re-learn most physical tasks, including walking.
"To those around me, I was short-tempered, frustrated and angry," he said in his autobiography in 2012.
The effects of brain injury fall into three main categories:
"If you ask me if we have the same relationship we used to, then no, we don't. Will we? I hope so, although I genuinely don't know. I worry that Bev will always look at me in a slightly different way. She was summoned to a hospital in America to say goodbye because they didn't think I'd live. Then she was told I would but that I wouldn't know who she was at first and I wouldn't be the man she married."
He added: "For her, and for my family, I hope that I'm learning to adapt to the guy who is 'nearly James Cracknell'."
Luke Griggs of Headway says the road to recovery is unique for every patient.
"Put simply, the effects of brain injury can be devastating and last a lifetime. It can change every aspect of you: walking, talking, thinking and feeling. It can change personalities as well as capabilities.
However, we know that, with the right help at the right time, there can be life after brain injury." | Relatives of a man who was not told for more than a year he had terminal cancer have called for action to stop people waiting too long for test results.

The Education Bill was based on a white paper which initially suggested all schools in England would be compelled to become academies.
But the element of compulsion was dropped after protests from councils and, instead, the bill encouraged schools to convert.
Education Secretary Justine Greening said no new legislation was required.
In a written Parliamentary statement Ms Greening said: "Our ambition remains that all schools should benefit from the freedom and autonomy that academy status brings. Our focus, however, is on building capacity in the system and encouraging schools to convert voluntarily.
"No changes to legislation are required for these purposes and therefore we do not require wider education legislation in this session to make progress on our ambitious education agenda."
The element of compulsion was dropped by the government after protests from many councils, including the mainly Conservative members of the County Council Network, who were opposed to forcing high-performing schools in their areas to convert.
Academies are independently run - but state-funded - schools, overseen by a not-for-profit business, known as an academy trust. They are often part of a chain.
The original plans would have required all schools to convert to academy status, or have plans to do so, by 2022.
BBC Education Editor Branwen Jeffreys says the statement clears the way for draft plans to be brought forward, including Theresa May's proposals for more grammar schools in England.
The Prime Minister announced plans last month to reverse Labour's 1998 ban on new grammar schools.
This is all about drawing a line under the education policy of David Cameron, and clearing the way for the agenda set out by Theresa May.
In many ways it was an inevitable step. By the time an education bill was announced in the Queen's speech on May 18th, its key component had already been dropped in an embarrassing U-turn.
The suggestion that all state schools overseen by councils should be forced to become academies had provoked ire on the Conservative back benches.
Many county councils felt they were doing a good job, and should be left alone.
They argued that academisation was the solution for schools that were failing or chronically underperforming. It was this stiff opposition from the shires and counties that made the U-turn unavoidable.
Since then the political landscape has changed beyond recognition. Theresa May has put her own stamp firmly on education policy with a green paper suggesting more schools should be able to select pupils on academic ability. The consultation ends in mid-December, and a white paper may follow in the spring.
Laura Kuenssberg: Mind your grammar
Labour's former shadow education secretary, Lucy Powell, said the plan had always been "flawed".
"It is about time that Ministers put the final nail in the coffin of these proposals," she said.
Ms Powell also called on Education Secretary Justine Greening to "follow the evidence and drop Theresa May's regressive plans to expand selective education and open new grammar schools, something which now at least looks delayed for the rest of this parliamentary session".
The Local Government Association, which represents councils in England, said the move showed the government had been listening to its concerns.
"In particular, both the forced academisation of schools in areas considered to be 'unviable', and the removal of the council role in school improvement, went against evidence that council-maintained schools perform more highly than academies and free schools in Ofsted inspections, and that conversion to academies did not in itself lead to better results," said Richard Watts, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board.
Teachers' unions expressed relief at the decision.
"It was, and remains, inappropriate to force good schools to convert when the evidence of any benefit is so dubious," said National Association of Head Teachers General Secretary Russell Hobby.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers called it "a victory for common sense".
National Union of Teachers General Secretary Kevin Courtney said it was clear government education policy was "in complete disarray".
And NASUWT General Secretary Chris Keates said huge questions remained about the scope and pace of reform.
Malouda played in Wednesday's goalless draw against Honduras despite being ineligible under the Fifa rules in use.
French Guiana-born Malouda, 37, played 80 times for France.
"We are using Fifa rules so a player who's played in an official match for a different [country] cannot play in the Gold Cup," said a Concacaf official.
Malouda, who currently plays for Indian Super League team Delhi Dynamos, featured in the 2006 World Cup final for France and, during six years at Chelsea, won three FA Cups, a Premier League and a Champions League.
French Guiana is an overseas department of France.
The national team are not Fifa members and could not, for example, play in the World Cup - but as they are not Fifa members the global governing body's eligibility rules do not normally apply to them.
As a result Malouda was allowed to play for French Guiana in the 2017 Caribbean Cup, featuring twice as they finished third in Martinique in June.
However, Concacaf's decision to use Fifa rules means he is ineligible to play in the Gold Cup and Wednesday's result could be ruled a 3-0 forfeit in favour of Honduras.
"The disciplinary committee will review the case and render its decision in due time," Concacaf said in a statement.
Midfielder Danny Williams will hope to recover from rolling his ankle against Leeds United on Saturday.
Blackburn remain without striker Danny Graham following groin surgery last month while defender Gordon Greer (calf) is still doubtful.
Full-back Adam Henley (hamstring) is yet to regain match fitness.
Reading manager Jaap Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire:
"It will be a difficult game against Blackburn as they need the points as well.
"It's going to be a hard job to beat them, but hopefully they will play a bit more open than Leeds United did on Saturday.
"Hopefully we can use the space in behind as well."
Blackburn Rovers boss Tony Mowbray told BBC Radio Lancashire:
"The players have deserved a lot more than we've managed to get in the last four or five games. But that's football.
"Reading are a different type of team to most teams in this league. They are very ball-retention-orientated.
"You have to be super organised against Reading, otherwise they can rip you to shreds."
BBC Radio Berkshire's Tim Dellor:
Three days after beating Leeds, Reading have another game at the Madejski Stadium. This time they face Blackburn - who are currently in the relegation zone.
Reading know a win will propel them up to third spot, at least for 24 hours, until Huddersfield play Norwich.
Reading's success this season has been built on their home form. With only the three teams currently in the relegation zone still to play at the Madejski Stadium, they have already won 44 points at home.
Jaap Stam does have a growing injury list to contend with. Two of his central defensive options - Paul McShane and Joey van den Berg, are both out with hamstring injuries.
Danny Williams limped off, supported by two team-mates after the Leeds win. Callum Harriott, Stephen Quinn, Tiago Ilori and Denis Rakells are all longer-term absentees.
The 66-year-old from Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, County Louth, is being tried for tax evasion at the Republic of Ireland's Special Criminal Court.
He denies nine charges against him.
A handwriting expert gave evidence at the trial on Tuesday.
Mr Murphy's defence lawyers claim that his brother managed the accused man's cattle herd and farming activities.
It is the prosecution's case that, although Mr Murphy conducted significant dealings in relation to cattle and land, and received farming grants from the Department of Agriculture, he failed to make any returns to revenue.
The charges against Mr Murphy arise out of an investigation by the Irish police's Criminal Assets Bureau.
On Tuesday, a handwriting expert told the court there was "strong evidence" that Thomas Murphy did not sign a number of documents signed in his name.
He told the court that there is "conclusive evidence" that the three documents, dating from 2007 to 2014, were all signed by the author of another set of documents, which are tax forms in the name of Patrick Murphy, the accused man's brother.
The trial continues.
Ms O'Neill defended her decision to attend a commemoration for eight IRA men shot dead by the SAS in Loughgall in 1987.
An innocent civilian was also killed.
Michelle O'Neill spoke on Sunday at a memorial event marking 30 years since the ambush.
Mr Donaldson said all families had a right to remember their dead, but that the event on Sunday was "more than that".
"It was an opportunity for Michelle O'Neill to say the murder of innocent people by the IRA was wrong - to reach out to their families," he told BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme.
"Michelle O'Neill failed to acknowledge and recognise the suffering of IRA victims, she failed to reach out to them.
"It reopened wounds for many of those people to hear the person who aspires to be the Deputy First Minister in Northern Ireland defend the IRA."
Unionists and victims had reacted angrily to the move by Ms O'Neill.
However, she said everyone had a legitimate right to remember their dead.
She told people gathered for the commemoration at Cappagh, County Tyrone, that victims and survivors of the Troubles in Northern Ireland who sought justice and truth, must be given the strongest possible support and assistance.
"While much of our history has been marked by sadness and tragedy, we now have a unique opportunity to be the authors of a new, peaceful, and democratic future," she said.
"This does not mean we forget our past. Everyone has a legitimate right to remember their dead, tell their side of the story and share their experiences, and hurt, of that time, without being demonised.
"I challenge our opponents to stop fighting a war which is now over. There is an onus on all of us to move forward to create a free, just and equal society - together."
Ms O'Neill said she had been criticised by unionists and the media for commemorating IRA volunteers, but she was an Irish republican.
"I see no contradiction whatsoever in commemorating our republican dead while reaching out to our unionist neighbours to build the future - Orange and Green together on the basis of full equality and mutual respect," she said.
Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly told BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback that Mr Donaldson "needed to realise that there needs to be equality for families of victims".
"They need to be allowed to grieve in their own way, no-one comes on and argues that people cannot be involved in the UDR (Ulster Defence Regiment), or the British Army or the SAS, or indeed loyalist murder squads."
Undercover soldiers killed eight members of the Provisional IRA's East Tyrone unit at Loughgall in May 1987.
It happened as they approached Loughgall RUC station in County Armagh with a bomb in a hijacked digger.
The IRA men shot were: Jim Lynagh, Padraig McKearney, Gerard O'Callaghan, Tony Gormley, Eugene Kelly, Patrick Kelly, Seamus Donnelly and Declan Arthurs.
The SAS also shot Anthony Hughes and his brother was badly wounded.
In 2014, Mr Hughes' family received a fully government apology confirming he was entirely innocent of any wrongdoing.
In 2001, the European Court of Human Rights found the rights of those killed at Loughgall had been violated.
Earlier this week, during a visit to a Catholic grammar school to meet Irish language students, DUP leader Arlene Foster criticised Ms O'Neill's decision to attend the commemoration.
"It is disappointing that when I am trying to make this a shared place for everybody in Northern Ireland that other leaders are doing things that frankly are wrong and backward looking," Mrs Foster said.
"I am thinking of what is happening in Loughgall on Sunday and I think that is something that Sinn Féin needs to reflect on.
"We have heard a lot during the election about respect and they need to understand what that means in terms of the past and in terms of the future, as people look to the future here in Northern Ireland."
Previously loyal supporters and critics alike are asking: Has the new Labour leader got a women problem?
It was an issue that first arose as the result of the Labour leadership election was announced on Saturday morning, when Corbyn and Tom Watson became the all-male team of leader and deputy leader of the party.
When the key appointments were announced to the shadow cabinet, the voices grew louder.
Shadow chancellor - man. Shadow foreign secretary - man. Shadow home secretary - man.
Late on Sunday night reporters waiting for more appointments heard first hand that the gender issue was being taken seriously in Team Corbyn.
As the BBC's Eleanor Garnier reported: "Then, close to midnight, a new voice, we thought it could be Simon Fletcher: 'We're taking a fair amount of shit out there about women… let's make Angela… shadow first minister of State, like Mandelson, she can do PMQs… do the Angela bit now."
Shortly afterwards Eagle, already the shadow business secretary, did indeed become Corbyn's defacto deputy.
By the time the full shadow cabinet was named on Monday lunchtime, Labour were able to trumpet the fact that more than half of their shadow cabinet was made up of women.
That fulfilled Corbyn's campaign pledge and is the first time any party has been able to make such a claim.
When he, and his new shadow chancellor John McDonnell were asked about the lack of women in top jobs, they had similar responses - that traditional views of what the great offices of state were was based on the days when Westminster had an Empire to rule.
Actually, they both said, education and health were the big priorities and the big jobs for them and they were both roles filled by women.
And yet that suggestion has failed to impress the commentators.
In the Daily Telegraph Dan Hodges writes: "In a mere 48 hours, it has all disappeared - all that stuff about new principles and new values and a new beginning. Vanished into the night."
In The Times, Rachel Sylvester writes: that "for all the talk of a new kind of politics, Team Corbyn's patronising approach to women is a throwback to the 1970s".
She continues: "Although the leader's office insists the shadow cabinet as a whole is balanced, two of the female members have been appointed to entirely new positions, dealing with mental health and young people. It is as if Mr Corbyn's proposal for women-only carriages on trains has been transposed to Westminster, with female politicians given their own "safe" areas. For a party supposedly committed to equality it seems a surprising failure - but in keeping with the macho nature of traditional hard-left politics to which the new leader belongs."
In the Guardian Rowena Mason reports Labour's previous Lords leader Lady Royall as saying: "I applaud … [that] there will be equal numbers of men and women in the shadow cabinet. And maybe Jeremy does believe the shadow international development portfolio is as important as the Treasury. But the thing is the outside world does not think that. Maybe we can change the culture of our party, parliament and the country, but they are not [thinking that] at the moment."
It is obviously an issue that Corbyn is keen to tackle - telling the TUC on Tuesday that the gender balance of his shadow cabinet was a sign of his new politics.
So how do his numbers add up?
The shadow cabinet announced by Labour includes 31 roles (including some which are not shadowing cabinet roles) of which 16 are held by women.
That compares with the current cabinet, which has seven women out of 22 members, and the then-record-breakingly diverse first Tony Blair cabinet of 1997 which had more than two women in it. ( there were five - see the full list here)
Ahead of the general election eleven members of Ed Miliband's 27-strong shadow cabinet were women.
On a more general note - across the House of Commons - there are 191 women, which is 29% of the total - the highest ever. (For more stats on women in Parliament and Government, try this House of Commons Library briefing paper)
Overall, those comparisons do not look too bad.
But, even allowing for those motivated by opposition to Corbyn, there's been a woman prime minister, a woman home secretary and, for a short period, a woman foreign secretary.
And until one of those roles - or shadow roles - is filled in Corbyn's team by a woman, then the gender question is likely to hang around.
The announcement follows a "financial health check" by accountants on the club's business plan.
Inverness chairman Willie Finlayson is also to be succeeded by Graham Rae at the end of September.
"The results [of the financial health check] identified some gaps and opportunities for improvement," said a board statement.
"Steps were taken quickly to address this situation. We are pleased to report that, by the end of September this year, the club will have secured £500,000 of new investment, which will be fully utilized towards addressing past and current financial shortfalls.
"The business plan for the current year is now one which has passed a financial robustness check from our accountants."
Inverness were relegated from the Premiership last season following seven years in the top-flight and underwent a series of boardroom changes as well as the appointment of a new manager in John Robertson.
The squad has been renewed, including long-standing midfielder Ross Draper being sold to Highland rivals Ross County, who remain in the Premiership.
"This amount of change is a challenge for everyone involved, but if we are to have a sustainable business, we all need to adapt and move forward," the directors added.
"The board would like to acknowledge the contribution of Willie Finlayson, who as chairman continues to provide transitional leadership and consultation between the past, current and new board members.
"At the time of his appointment, Willie advised that his tenure as chairman was not intended to be long term and he has now confirmed that he will step down at the end of this month.
"No players were budgeted to be sold to release funds and this included Ross Draper. The club dearly wanted to have been able to retain Ross's services but recognised that his wish was to return to being able to play in the Premiership.
"There are many challenges ahead and, to safeguard our financial position, everyone connected with the club should be aware that we cannot spend more than we earn and that careful and effective fiscal management is critical for the realisation of our business and football goals."
Inverness also hope to finalise a deal with the construction firm, Tulloch Group, to take ownership of the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium and have appointed Danny MacDonald as chief operating officer.
"The Tulloch Group very generously offered in December 2016 to gift the stadium back to the club, write off arrears of rent that had accumulated and ensure we could move forward on a rent-free basis," the board statement added.
"The board have been heavily engaged with Tulloch and their advisers over the last six weeks to put the necessary contracts in place to give effect to this gift and to ensure we have a fully functioning stadium available for football but also all the other commercial income-generating activities that support the club.
"We anticipate that contracts will be signed by the end of September 2017."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that 42 had died in attacks on areas held by so-called Islamic State.
Anti-IS group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently said 32 were killed in one district alone.
There was no immediate comment from the coalition, which is supporting Kurdish-led fighters seeking to capture Raqqa.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance launched a ground assault in early June and is now believed to hold more than half of the city, which is the de facto capital of the "caliphate" proclaimed by IS in 2014.
The Syrian Observatory, a UK-based group that monitors the six-year-old civil war through a network of sources, said on Tuesday that 19 children and 12 women were among those killed in Monday's air raids on the Sukhani and Badu districts.
The figures took to 167 the number of civilians killed in coalition strikes since 14 August, it said.
"The tolls are high because the air strikes are hitting neighbourhoods in the city centre that are densely packed with civilians," Syrian Observatory director Rami Abdul Rahman told AFP news agency.
"There are buildings full of civilians that are trying to get away from the front lines."
The coalition has not yet responded to the report, but said it had conducted 20 air strikes in the Raqqa area on Monday, engaging 13 IS tactical units and destroying 24 fighting positions, a vehicle, a logistics node and communications infrastructure.
At the start of June, the coalition said its 22,983 air strikes in Syria and Iraq since 2014 had unintentionally killed at least 624 civilians. However, human rights groups believe the true figure is far higher.
Airwars, an organisation that tracks allegations of civilian deaths, said that as of 8 August, coalition air strikes were likely to have killed at least 4,487 civilians in three years.
On Monday, UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric told reporters that it was deeply concerned for the safety of up to 25,000 civilians trapped inside Raqqa, many of them women and children.
Tens of thousands of people had fled the city, but those remaining faced severe restrictions of movement in and out of the city, which had dwindling food and water supplies, he said.
"The UN stresses again that all parties to the fighting are obligated to protect civilians under international humanitarian law, as well as the need for sustained and unhindered access to those who need help," Mr Dujarric added.
The mutineers seized weapons from two police stations in the country's second city, Bouake, and took up positions at its entry points, according to reports.
Shooting has also been reported in the cities of Daloa and Korogho.
President Alassane Ouattara convened a crisis meeting of his military chiefs, as the government entered into talks with the mutineers.
Defence Minister Alain-Richard Donwah called on troops to return to barracks so that "lasting solutions" could be found, state media reported.
Mr Ouattara took power in 2011, ending a civil war which lasted for almost a decade.
Bouake was at the centre of the rebellion to oust Mr Ouattara's predecessor, Laurent Gbagbo, who is on trial at the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes.
Soldiers armed with AK-47 fired at the offices of the state broadcaster in the city, and had seized control of Bouake's western entrance, a resident, who asked not to be identified, told the BBC.
A teacher in Bouake, Ami Soro, said the city was deserted, Reuters news agency reports.
"Men in balaclavas are patrolling the city on motorcycles or in cars. They aren't attacking residents... They told us to stay at home," she is quoted as saying.
The mutineers have not yet issued an official statement, but the government said their grievances focused on pay, bonuses and promotion prospects.
"It's a mutiny by former fighters integrated into the army who are demanding bonuses of 5 million CFA francs ($8,000; £6,500) each plus a house," a soldier who asked to remain anonymous told AFP news agency.

The barracks in Bouake are known to be restive. They were the starting point of a pay revolt in 2014.
The government had failed to meet the promises it made to end that revolt, triggering the current crisis, a rank-and-file soldier told the BBC.
The mutiny has spread from the second city to Ivory Coast's third and fourth-biggest cities, Daloa and Korhogo, and there are also reports of some gunfire from the western town of Man.
But it looks like a genuine pay dispute, rather than a serious threat to the government's power.
The soldiers are generally seen as loyal to former rebel leader Guillaume Soro, who played a key role in ousting ex-President Laurent Gbagbo.
Mr Soro is currently the speaker of the National Assembly and wants to retain the post following legislative elections last year.
An MP for Bouake, Bema Fofana, told the BBC that the soldiers did not appear to have a leader or spokesman, making it difficult to negotiate with them.
Most of the soldiers were former rebels who were integrated into the army after the civil war, he added.
The rebels swept into the main city Abidjan from their stronghold of Bouake in 2011, helping Mr Ouattara take power after Mr Gbagbo refused to accept defeat in elections the previous year.
He told the newly elected constituent assembly that he wanted "a personal conversation" when the two leaders attended the UN General Assembly in New York next month.
Mr Trump recently imposed sanctions on Mr Maduro, accusing him of undermining democracy.
The White House has not yet responded to the comments.
"If he's so interested in Venezuela, here I am," Mr Maduro told the assembly during a three-hour speech.
"Mr Donald Trump, here is my hand."
However, at other times Mr Maduro returned to more traditional anti-US themes, accusing "imperialists" of plotting against his government.
"We will never cede to foreign powers," he said.
Mr Maduro also said he would challenge the US sanctions in an American court.
The president received a succession of standing ovations from the constituent assembly, which is dominated by his supporters.
The opposition-controlled congress rejects the legitimacy of the new body.
It has also been condemned by international leaders and by the Pope, who urged Mr Maduro not to inaugurate it.
In his speech, Mr Maduro stated that the constituent assembly had authority over all branches of government, including the presidency.
He has said the assembly will promote peace by bringing different sectors of society together to rewrite the constitution.
His critics, however, see it as a way for the president to expand his power and sideline the opposition.
More than 120 people have been killed in violent anti-government protests since April.
Father of two Adam Fenton, 32, from Newquay, Cornwall was found on Towan beach on 28 July.
He was celebrating initial reports of his recovery after six months of chemotherapy to treat blood cancer.
Family friend Tracey Sinkevicius, speaking on behalf of the family, said relatives were left "numb" and in "total shock".
For more stories from across Devon and Cornwall.
She said concern for Mr Fenton's partner Carly Blackman and his two daughters and step daughter prompted her to set up a fundraising page, which has raised more than £1,000.
Mr Fenton, described as an "amazing, loving, man", was with his partner Carly for eight years and due to be married next year.
Police said the death is being treated as unexplained, and their inquiries continue.
It includes:
Certainly, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams thinks there has been a shift - last week he told Reuters that the Northern Ireland Assembly election result gave him and his supporters a sense that their long-term goal of Irish unity might be achievable.
Mr Adams also referred to developments on the other side of the Irish Sea, claiming that a decade ago Scottish independence might have seemed a "minority occupation for men in kilts", but now people had bought into the proposition.
On a similar theme, Tony Blair's former spin doctor Alastair Campbell told Good Morning Ulster that in relation to both Brexit and the Trump presidency "we are living in an era in which nothing can be taken for granted".
On the face of it, there seems much to encourage Irish nationalists and to disconcert Ulster unionists.
But although the needles are twitching on their political Ritcher scales, it is probably not yet time for the unionists to "drop, cover and hold on", the standard advice if caught in an earthquake.
Back in September last year, BBC Northern Ireland commissioned an opinion poll in the wake of the Brexit referendum.
This suggested that 63% of people in Northern Ireland supported staying in the UK whilst only 22% said they would vote to join a United Ireland.
It is entirely possible that, as the practical implications of Brexit unfold, this balance of opinion could shift. However, it is quite a differential for nationalists to overturn.
It would be wrong to assume that the loss of the unionist majority at Stormont in an election, dominated by a backlash to the DUP's style of government, would translate into a border poll.
Brexit may have shaken many people out of their comfort zone. However, any border poll campaign would focus, not just on people's identities and aspirations, but also on the multi-billion pound UK subvention, the future of the health service or the general stability of Northern Ireland.
At Stormont, it is the "others" who hold the theoretical balance of power and it is probable that many of their supporters might find the status quo more attractive than a step into the unknown.
One aspect of the Scottish debate which may have resonance in Northern Ireland in the coming months and years might be under whose authority a referendum can be called.
Ms Sturgeon has indicated she wants a vote between the autumn of 2018 and the spring of 2019, but it is up to Downing Street to grant the Section 30 order which would make the exercise legally binding.
Similarly, under the Good Friday Agreement, it is up to the UK government in the shape of the secretary of state for Northern Ireland to call a border poll "if at any time it appears likely to him that a majority of those voting would express a wish that Northern Ireland should cease to be part of the United Kingdom and form part of a united Ireland".
The agreement is silent on what might inform a secretary of state's decision, but generally it has been assumed to be the decisive result of an election or a consistent run of opinion polls suggesting a majority want change.
One can imagine that, just as Sinn Féin has questioned the Treasury's estimates of the financial subvention, Irish nationalists could disagree with a future Northern Ireland secretary of state on whether the circumstances set out in the 1998 agreement have been met.
In turn, that argument could influence the debate in the run-up to any future border poll.
Back in September last year I wrote that I did not expect to find myself covering a border poll in my tenure as BBC NI political editor.
But maybe - given the recent seismological movement - I shouldn't rule anything out for certain.
The Mersey Gateway project had been put on hold pending the outcome of the Treasury's Spending Review.
George Osborne offered the scheme hope earlier in October when he told the BBC it was one of his priorities.
Speaking on Sunday, he confirmed that the six-lane toll bridge, agreed under the last government, would escape the axe under the review.
Mr Osborne told BBC One's Andrew Marr show that he was putting the final touches to the Spending Review, which will be announced on 20 October.
"The priority here has been to target waste and welfare, to invest in our health care, to give real increases in the school budget and to invest in the things that are going to make our economy strong," he said.
"Projects like Crossrail, which will go ahead, projects like the Mersey Gateway, which is going to go ahead.
"Those things are actually going to get us out of this stronger and able to pay our way in the world."
Road user charging
The bridge project was shelved in June, when the Department for Transport (DfT) said it could not guarantee its £83m support for the scheme until after the review.
About £22m has already been spent on the project, which is designed to ease congestion on the existing Silver Jubilee Bridge.
Funding for the bridge, which will span 1km (0.6 miles) across the River Mersey, will largely be met by the private sector and road user charging.
It has cross-party support across the region and many major business backers.
Despite widespread support, the scheme is opposed by the National Alliance Against Tolls (NAAT) because it means charges are also planned to be introduced on the Silver Jubilee bridge.
"Supporters of the scheme say that this will be a boost to the economy. On the contrary, the scheme will be a barrier that will damage the economy," he said.
"This scheme should have been the first to be cut, and the Coalition have made a big mistake by throwing money into such a terrible project."
Official figures showed 23,994 support staff were employed by schools across Wales in 2016 but that was 446 fewer compared to 12 months earlier.
The number of teachers is also down by 275 to 23,235.
But the Welsh Government said the pupil-teacher ratio has remained "relatively" stable.
"After years of cuts, head teachers have little wriggle room but to look at the staffing they have," Owen Hathway, the National Union of Teachers policy officer in Wales told Welsh language news programme Newyddion 9.
"This needs to be avoided because any teacher or classroom assistant that is lost puts more pressure on that staff who are still there.
"That isn't fair on the children when we're trying to ensure they get the best education in Wales."
Jess Turner, from Unison which represents ancillary staff in schools, said schools needed more than just teachers to run properly.
She added: "Every time a caretaker, cleaner or admin worker loses their job it means more pressure on classroom staff.
"Those who remain do their best to keep up standards in their schools but with fewer staff, safety and security is bound to be compromised."
Tegwen Ellis, head teacher at Ysgol Cynwyd Sant in Maesteg, said accessing more money was essential in order to reduce pressure.
Her school's budget is £70,000 less in this academic year - a situation not uncommon across Wales - but they have managed to bridge that gap by securing further grants from elsewhere.
"Some schools get sponsorship from businesses, some schools are working alongside businesses to develop children in a different way, and we as a school have to think in a different way as well," she said.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We are well aware of the financial challenges facing our schools and have prioritised funding for schools within the settlement we provide for local government in Wales.
"Over the past five years to 2016, there has been a reduction in teacher numbers but the pupil-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable (18.4 to 18.6)."
The spokesman added there were 1,700 more support staff than five years ago.
The annual tournament has once again attracted a record number of entries, with over 340 teams competing.
Clubs coming from the United States, Germany, France and Finland will mix it with the best of local talent.
The six day 'festival of football' is a key event in the North West's sporting calendar.
With scouts attending most games, it is also seen as an opportunity for young players to potentially clinch their dream move to a top club.
The parade signifying the opening of the tournament saw the teams take to the streets of Derry.
Among those at the head of the parade were the Oxford Bulls, a local team of young footballers with Down's syndrome who hit the headlines in April when they played their first match after featuring in a video with Republic of Ireland player James McClean.
Foyle Cup chairman Michael Hutton believes this year's event is bigger and better than ever.
"For the kids, this is their week of the year and for the city it is a fantastic event.
"There are 49 Americans here for 10 days and they're travelling all over the north so in terms of the bigger picture, there is not a hotel bed available in this city from Sunday through to Sunday this week.
"We have eight teams here from America this week, not only that we have a team from Germany, we've a team from Finland, from France."
"All over the world people are identifying with what's going on in this city," Mr Hutton said.
"In the premier league in England, in one full season, they play 380 matches. In six days in this city and surrounding area, we will play 1,357 games."
In recent years, Foyle Cup organisers raised concerns about the funding of the tournament.
"There's still ongoing problems, we would love more funding and equal respect with other tournaments in Ireland," Mr Hutton told BBC Radio Foyle,
"But hopefully we'll get that and people will realise the benefits this tournament brings to all."

Kyle Sheehan, 16, died after being stabbed in the leg outside a party in Bartley Green in September 2012.
His friend Joshua Ribera, 18, was killed almost a year later at a memorial event for Kyle.
Kyle's mother Hayley Sheehan said she wanted parents in the city to lead the fight against knife crime.
By Peter WilsonSpecial correspondent, BBC Midlands Today
Since the beginning of the year across the West Midlands force area a total of nine people have lost their lives to knife crime.
That includes the attack on Christina Edkins as she sat on a bus going to school.
But what has caused the latest alarm is the two unrelated deaths of teenagers in September, fatally stabbed in Birmingham.
Such deaths grab headlines and heighten concern but the police say it is important to remember that knife crime in the West Midlands is going down.
Since 2006 it has fallen by more than 60%.
Yet to those in the midst of grief its little comfort, people want tougher sentences for carrying knives and a constant rolling knife amnesty to get bladed weapons off the streets.
The police launched their Knives cost Lives campaign in January.
Young people tell me that knives get carried for a variety of reasons, but it is also part of a macho culture, amongst some young men knives have become a fashion accessory.
"Look at the consequences of what's happened. My son's gone, his friend's gone, all the other kids who have been killed by knives have gone," she said.
"Their mothers are in the same pain I'm going through now. No mother should have to bury their child.
"All mothers have to come together. We have to do something to stop these kids killing each other."
According to figures released by police, knife crime in Birmingham dropped by 25% between April 2011 and 2012.
In 2012-13 there were 1,615 knife-related incidents in the city, although police said over the past six years knife crime had fallen by 63% across the force area.
However, West Midlands Police said the killings of Azim Azam and Joshua Ribera within a few days of each other last month had "rocked communities across the city".
Azim, 16, from Billesley, was found collapsed in the street after getting off a morning rush-hour bus in Moseley. A post-mortem examination revealed he died from a single stab wound to the chest.
The force said combating knife crime was a priority and that as part of its Knives End Lives campaign officers routinely visit schools and use metal-detecting "knife wands" on patrols in some areas.
Homeless Phillip Simelane, 23, from Walsall, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Christina Edkins at a hearing in Birmingham Crown Court earlier.
Christina was stabbed while on her way to Leasowes High School in Halesowen on 7 March.
A post-mortem examination found she died from a single stab wound.
Tooting MP Sadiq Khan defended his opposition to a third runway at Heathrow, saying London's air quality was already breaching EU regulations.
He said Gatwick Airport should be expanded, with "high speed links" between the two and a single check-in.
But rival David Lammy accused him of "the same Ed Miliband politics".
"My view is the way to proceed is no third runway at Heathrow," Mr Khan said, calling for "a better Heathrow, not a bigger one".
But Tottenham MP Mr Lammy questioned the timing of Mr Khan's decision, which came after the emergence of Conservative MP and environmental campaigner Zac Goldsmith as a potential Tory candidate for the 2016 election.
"Zac Goldsmith has announced he's running and suddenly Sadiq is against it," he said, accusing Mr Khan of "playing the same Ed Miliband politics that got us nowhere".
Former culture secretary Tessa Jowell said she was prepared to wait until the final report of the Airports Commission which is looking at the options for expanding London's air capacity before making up her mind.
But she warned against the issue becoming "gridlocked" in government.
"We can't go on forever putting this decision off because it's just too difficult," she said.
Journalist Christian Wolmar said climate change should inform the decision, while Harrow West MP Gareth Thomas said new runways should be built at both Heathrow and Gatwick.
Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP Diane Abbott also opposed Heathrow expansion.
The candidates were also asked about the "mansion" tax on homes worth over £2m that was proposed by Labour ahead of the general election.
Mr Lammy, Ms Jowell, Ms Abbott and Mr Wolmar all criticised the policy, with Ms Jowell saying that while it had been "well intentioned" it had been "emblematically disastrous" for Labour because it had caused people "anxiety" even if they weren't affected.

But Watson said abuse on Twitter has "become such a usual occurrence" she has stopped reading the messages.
"I think those people, they've got no life," said the world number 59.
Watson had earlier this week told the New York Times that she and her family had received death threats online.
And on Wednesday she added: "They're just kind of cowards thinking they can say whatever they want on the internet.
"They don't understand that we're just people at the end of the day."
Watson is the last British woman left in the main draw after her 6-4 6-2 win over the Slovakian world number 72 and meets world number one Williams on Friday.
Experts are worried that the virus is spreading far and fast, with devastating consequences.
The infection has been linked to cases of microcephaly, in which babies are born with underdeveloped brains.
The WHO alert puts Zika in the same category of concern as Ebola.
It means research and aid will be fast-tracked to tackle the infection.
There have been around 4,000 reported cases of microcephaly in Brazil alone since October.
WHO director general, Margaret Chan called Zika an "extraordinary event" that needed a co-ordinated response.
"I am now declaring that the recent cluster of microcephaly and other neurological abnormalities reported in Latin America following a similar cluster in French Polynesia in 2014 constitutes a public health emergency of international concern."
She said the priorities were to protect pregnant women and their babies from harm and to control the mosquitoes that are spreading the virus.
She advised pregnant women:
Dr Chan justified declaring an emergency even amid uncertainties about the disease, saying it was time to take action.
The WHO faced heavy criticism for waiting too long to declare the Ebola outbreak a public emergency.
Currently, 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.
The WHO has already warned that Zika is likely to "spread explosively" across nearly all of the Americas. More than 20 countries, including Brazil, are reporting cases.
Most infections are mild and cause few or no symptoms, although there have been some reported cases of a rare paralysis disorder called Guillain-Barre syndrome.
The bigger health threat though is believed to be in pregnancy, to the unborn child.
Dr Jeremy Farrar, Director of the Wellcome Trust, said: "There is a long road ahead. As with Ebola, Zika has once again exposed the world's vulnerability to emerging infectious diseases and the devastation they can unleash. Alongside the emergency response that Zika necessitates, we must put in place the permanent reforms, health systems strengthening and proactive research agenda that are needed to make the global health system more resilient to the threat of future pandemics."

Vale took the lead when Carl Dickinson forced the ball in from close range, before Michael O'Connor struck from the edge of the area and then saw a free-kick put into his own net by Ben Coker.
Sam McQueen pulled a goal back for the Shrimpers in injury time at the end of the game.
There was still time for visiting striker David Mooney to fire a late penalty over the crossbar.
Vale announced before the match that Cardiff winger Matty Kennedy, 21, had agreed a two-month loan extension with the club.
Kennedy, who played the first 86 minutes of Friday's game, will remain at Vale Park until 26 April.
As a result, the retailer said it was set to deliver "excellent" half-year results.
The trading update came ahead of the retailer's annual shareholder meeting.
Shares in JD Sports have risen 86% in the past year, and its market value has now overtaken that of rival Sports Direct.
JD Sports executive chairman Peter Cowgill said: "We have, in recent weeks, seen a further boost to sales from the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament. Consequently, we are well positioned to deliver an excellent first half-year result.
"We face strong comparatives for the remainder of the year but our strong start will help facilitate delivery of current market expectations."
City analysts expect JD Sports to report pre-tax profits of £161m for the 2016-17 financial year.
Mr Philippe, 46, is not from the president's new centrist party but from the centre-right Republicans.
The choice is seen as an attempt to draw in key figures from both the right and left of French politics.
On his first full day as president, Mr Macron later travelled to Berlin where he was welcomed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
He was greeted with full military honours.
At a press conference, the French and German leaders later said they would work together on defence co-operation, reforming the eurozone and reducing bureaucracy.
Ms Merkel said the EU depended on France being strong, and said that she and Mr Macron shared a "joint conviction that we are not only going to deal with the British exit from the European Union, but we also need to deepen the EU".
She had previously sounded caution on Mr Macron's eurozone proposals, saying: "There are many proposals which have been on the table for years. Of course, I will discuss this with him and I will say let's be open, so we can achieve things together, not get stuck on what can't be done."
A finance ministry spokeswoman was less diplomatic about the chances of progress on eurozone reform, pointing out it would require treaty change "which is at the moment not realistic".
Speaking specifically about France, Mr Macron said he would work towards social, economic and educational reforms in the next few months.
The naming of a new prime minister, Mr Macron's first big appointment, came after hours of fevered speculation in France and a day after he was inaugurated as president.
Already tipped as favourite for the job, Edouard Philippe, mayor of the northern port city of Le Havre, has long been close to Alain Juppé, who was runner-up in the race for the Republican presidential nomination in November 2016.
Not a widely known politician in France, he has for years been seen as Alain Juppé's right-hand man and backed his unsuccessful 2016 bid to secure the centre-right presidential nomination. He quit the Republican campaign when the chosen candidate, François Fillon, was engulfed in a "fake jobs" investigation.
Earlier this year he likened Mr Macron's treatment of his earlier mentor, President François Hollande, to Brutus's despatch of Julius Caesar.
Before he became mayor of Le Havre, he worked in the private sector and co-wrote a political thriller with Gilles Boyer, who went on to run the Juppé campaign.
Several weeks ago, Mr Macron tweeted that he was keen on selecting a woman prime minister, and there was some disappointment on social media that he had so far failed to choose a woman for any cabinet role.
In Mr Philippe's own Republican party, reaction to his appointment was mixed. Alain Juppé praised the new prime minister as a man of "great talent". Another leading Republican, Bruno Le Maire, welcomed the appointment as an attempt to overcome old political divisions.
But party secretary-general Bernard Accoyer said there was no political agreement between the two parties. "Will this new prime minister support the president's En Marche candidates... or the candidates of his political family?" he asked.
Another Republican, Eric Ciotti, accused the new prime minister of taking part in Mr Macron's bid to "destabilise" the centre right.
President Macron faces crucial parliamentary elections next month and may need the support of the centre right to push through his planned economic reforms.
His new party, La République en Marche (Republic on the move), announced last week a list of 428 candidates for the June vote, half of whom were women. Only 5% were MPs in the outgoing French parliament - and those MPs were all from the Socialist left.
Villagers in Youlgrave in Derbyshire pitched in by donating ingredients then sharing out the 35 cakes to bake in their ovens.
Keen cake maker Lynn Nolan then cut, shaped and iced the incredibly detailed 16 buildings with skilled helpers.
Baking began back in June, and the icing alone took 387 hours.

Mrs Nolan, a retired florist, said: "I kept finding eggs in my little porch and little old ladies would come to the door with a packet of sugar and butter.
"We also got a mystery man phone up and say whatever the shortfall was he would provide it, because he owned a bakery."
The cakes are still edible because they have been soaked in whisky, which preserves them.
"I've eaten one after five years and it was fine," Mrs Nolan said.
The models are on display at All Saints Church in the village.
They will be auctioned on 15 December, and the money raised will go towards restoring the church roof.
Barbara Scrivener, from the church, said: "It is all very Christmassy and looks absolutely amazing with lights twinkling from the buildings and Christmas trees scattered around everywhere."
Some wear a headscarf to cover their head and hair, while others wear a burka or niqab, which also covers up their face.
Headscarves are seen as a sign of modesty, and a symbol of religious faith.
But how can you tell which one is which? Check out our guide to the various different types.
The word hijab describes the act of covering up generally but is often used to describe the headscarves worn by Muslim women. These scarves come in many styles and colours. The type most commonly worn in the West covers the head and neck but leaves the face clear.
The niqab is a veil for the face that leaves the area around the eyes clear. However, it may be worn with a separate eye veil. It is worn with an accompanying headscarf.
The burka is the most concealing of all Islamic veils. It is a one-piece veil that covers the face and body, often leaving just a mesh screen to see through.
The al-amira is a two-piece veil. It consists of a close fitting cap, usually made from cotton or polyester, and a tube-like scarf.
The shayla is a long, rectangular scarf popular in the Gulf region. It is wrapped around the head and tucked or pinned in place at the shoulders.
The khimar is a long, cape-like veil that hangs down to just above the waist. It covers the hair, neck and shoulders completely, but leaves the face clear.
The chador, worn by many Iranian women when outside the house, is a full-body cloak. It is often accompanied by a smaller headscarf underneath.
The Blackphone 2 adds software to the basic Android operating system so people can fine tune what each app, service and site can know about them.
The phone costs $799 (£525) and is aimed at businesses keen to oversee the information employees expose.
The launch comes as Blackberry readies an Android phone that also has improved privacy features.
Blackphone 2 owners manage data sharing via the phone's security centre that lets them tweak settings for each app.
"At the moment it's often about accepting everything or denying all the app permission requests," said David Puron, head of engineering at Silent Circle. "We wanted it to be more fine-grained than that."
In addition, he said, the phone lets people create separate virtual "spaces" in which they can set up different permissions for apps depending on whether they are using the phone personally, for work or are letting children play with it.
The phone also enables encryption by default, can be wiped remotely and Silent Circle has committed to fix bugs and issue updates within 72 hours of discovery.
In addition, said Mr Puron, Silent Circle had worked on the hardware to ensure it was fast and looked good. The original Blackphone demanded people "compromise" if they wanted to do a better job of managing their privacy, he said.
The next version of Android, known as Marshmallow, is expected to introduce some of the features in the Blackphone 2 to mainstream handsets.
"The industry is moving in the right direction and is incorporating the permission controls which is something we have done for 18 months," he said. "It's a good sign that these technologies are being progressively adopted."
Ben Wood, a mobile analyst from CCS Insight, said the phone was one among many devices targeting the "long-tail" of the smartphone market.
"With 1.5 billion smartphones set to sell in 2015 there are small niches which companies like Silent Circle can target," he said. "There are always going to be paranoid users that feel they need a higher level of privacy, which is something the encryption on the Blackphone offers."
The Blackphone 2 launch comes soon after Blackberry spoke more about its upcoming Priv Android phone which will include more privacy management tools.
Hampshire County Council said it would replace them with a centralised support service to save £8.5m.
The council said only 11 of its 54 centres would remain, in areas of "high deprivation".
But the protest group Save Our Children's Centres (SOCC) said it was hoping to mount a legal challenge.
SOCC founder Catherine Ovenden said she would be seeking legal advice about the prospect of a crowdfunded judicial review.
Chris Kidd, the chairman of the New Forest cluster of centres, said he was "bitterly disappointed" at the council decision.
"Now no longer can you get help on the day - it's going to be around appointments and travelling... and the ease of accessing that service is long gone," he said.
One mother, Lynn Tolmon from Hayling Island, said the lack of local centres would deter many parents from seeking help.
She said: "I can't really put into words how much I owe the Starfish centre. They picked me up off the floor when I didn't know how to carry on."
Hampshire County Council said its 54 existing centres helped around 2000 families at any one time, with issues such as postnatal depression and child behaviour.
The council said it would combine centres, so-called 'Early Help Hubs' and youth support services into a single Family Support Service targeted at those most in need.
Councillor Keith Mans, in charge of children's services, said the decision had been made in the light of "profound" government cuts.
He said: "This decision has not been easy but I am satisfied that this new service will support those who are most vulnerable... but who do not meet the threshold for statutory social care, while ensuring that comprehensive information... is provided for all."
The Canadian world number 48 is suing the USTA for damages after suffering concussion at the Grand Slam in New York in September.
The USTA claim Bouchard should not have gone into the treatment room without "express consent of, or accompaniment of, authorised personnel".
Bouchard, 21, is seeking compensation for lost income and medical costs.
She withdrew from the US Open prior to a fourth-round match after the fall and pulled out of her comeback event at the China Open on 5 October because of dizziness.
The lawsuit alleges Bouchard slipped on "a foreign and dangerous substance" in New York and also claims that the injury has damaged her quality of life.
However, in its legal response to Bouchard's claims, the USTA claims that "as a highly ranked and/or seeded professional tennis player, the plaintiff was experienced and well-versed in the procedures and protocols of the women's tour" and "knew or should have known the procedures and protocol as they related to the operation of the physiotherapy room".
It also disputes Bouchard's claim that the physiotherapy room was dark, insisting that even with the main lights turned off, "twilight lighting" remains on at the Flushing Meadows venue.
The USTA add that any suggestion that Bouchard would have won titles in Tokyo - a tournament from which she withdrew - and Beijing - where she retired from her first-round match when trailing Andrea Petkovic - had she not suffered her fall were "entirely speculative and uncertain".
It also claims that Bouchard left the New York venue without taking up offers of medical help after her fall.
Bouchard's lawyer Benedict Morelli told the New York Times in October that they could be seeking damages worth "millions and millions".
The case is now set to be heard by a jury.
Stephen Ward stretched to prod home the opener after Michael Keane headed down David Jones' corner.
Sam Vokes poked Burnley's second in off the post before Joe Lolley responded with a curled finish.
Ben Mee nodded in the visitors' third from a Jones corner, while Jason Davidson hit the bar for the Terriers.
Sean Dyche's Burnley have now taken 36 points from a possible 42 in a 14-game unbeaten league run, dating back to their loss at Hull City on 26 December.
Second-placed Middlesbrough, who had head coach Aitor Karanka walk out on training on Friday, can move back to within four points of the summit if they beat second-from-bottom Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Sunday.
Defeat leaves Huddersfield 18th in the table and six points above the relegation places.
Jones, returning from a Achilles problem which kept him out of Tuesday's win at Fulham, created the game's first goal - finding Keane to nod into the path of Republic of Ireland defender Ward, who netted his first league goal for the Clarets.
A neat touch from top scorer Andre Gray then afforded George Boyd space down the right-hand side, with Wales striker Vokes getting on the end of a piercing pass to net his 13th goal of the season from close range.
With Huddersfield's first shot on goal, Lolley - making his 50th Terriers appearance - reduced the deficit, only for Mee to restore the two-goal advantage almost immediately.
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner:
"Burnley are the best team in the league and if you are to beat the best team you have to be brave, and we weren't.
"At half-time I said we had to accept the situation. I said we can lose this game but we have to learn from the first half and impose our identity.
"If you play our style of football mistakes will happen but we are still creating chances. We made mistakes for the corners and were punished."
Burnley manager Sean Dyche:
"I felt we had control of the game at the end of the first half and we saw it out really well.
"In the second half Huddersfield played with more freedom, as you would expect from a side with nothing to lose, but we controlled it well.
"The energy of the side is great and we will physically go as hard as we can to get where we want to be.
"It was a very powerful performance and we never looked under pressure."
Clutching umbrellas, adopted as a protest symbol, they observed 87 seconds of silence - a reference to the 87 times police fired tear gas on protesters.
The rally will see key protest leaders address the crowd later.
Activists are calling for full democracy in Hong Kong.
The rally is being held at the Admiralty protest site, which saw many thousands of protesters fill its streets after police fired tear gas on protesters at the height of the movement.
Protesters carried banners at the rally. The above banner reads: "I want a real election"
Those attending the rally chanted slogans before they observed the silence.
Others staged dance performances as part of the rally
On Sunday protest leaders abandoned plans to hold a ballot over whether to accept several government concessions. Protest leaders said they decided to "adjourn" the vote after disagreements over its format and apologised for a "lack of discussion" with protesters.
Last week student protest leaders and government officials held talks for the first time, but made little progress towards ending the impasse.
Certainly investors ploughed billions into electric cars, solar panels and futuristic batteries during the last decade, hoping to get rich while weaning us off fossil fuels.
And pretty soon the sector overheated, share prices toppled and investment tailed off.
But while we still live in a world dominated by fossil fuels, environmentalists have a lot more to be cheerful about.
Global investment in clean energy was last year back near its 2011 peak at $310bn (£200bn), up from $60bn in 2004.
And the price of clean technologies has plummeted, explaining why more wind and solar power was generated in 2014 than any year previously.
Partly driving the trend is the spread of clean energy in developing countries, says Angus McCrone, chief editor at Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
Reflecting that China invested $89.5bn in the sector last year (up 32%), Brazil $7.9bn (up 88%) and India $7.9bn (up 14%).
"We've got to the point where in 2014, developing countries almost caught up with developed countries in terms of overall dollar investment," Mr McCrone says.
"In some places it's happening without any subsidy support too."
Big business and governments have also increased their support for clean technology - through venture investments in innovative start-ups and subsidies like tax breaks respectively.
"Without them the industry would be in a much tougher position," says Frans Nauta, deputy director of entrepreneurship at Climate-KIC, an EU-funded programme that supports cleantech start-ups.
Perhaps the only piece of the puzzle missing is venture capital (VC) investment, which is significantly down from its peak.
During the last decade, many Silicon Valley VCs dived into cleantech with little understanding of the sector and hoping for quick returns.
Instead they found a slow-moving and highly competitive market, and few were surprised when billion-dollar businesses such as biofuel producer Kior and solar power company Solyndra subsequently went bust.
"In a way it got overhyped and perhaps too many ideas got funded," says Richard Youngman, managing director, Europe & Asia at the Cleantech Group.
"In a world where hype can be a bad thing, a more sober existence was needed."
But Mr Nauta believes the absence of VCs is a serious problem, particularly in Europe.
That's because they are more likely to invest in the most disruptive (and risky) early-stage businesses that are vital to innovation.
"Take solar - I still see incredible opportunities for disruption, whether it's improving the efficiency of the panels, their production, their installation or in terms of financing," he says.
"But while I know many companies making strides in this area, they don't have enough access to funding."
UK start-up Isentropic claims to be developing one of the lowest cost "grid scale" methods of electricity storage in the world.
Chief executive James Macnaghten says the fall in the number of financial VCs prepared to invest in cleantech that is not yet making money is concerning.
"Government funding is very welcome, but it often has strings attached… and the involvement of a corporate investor can reduce the value of the company in the long run as they may want preferential rights," he says.
By contrast, financial VCs invest in a wider range of companies and their interests are better aligned with shareholders, according to Mr Macnaghten.
Some companies, like Pavegen, have found alternatives. The firm, which manufactures flooring tiles that convert the wasted kinetic energy from footsteps into renewable electricity, has struggled to find funding in the past so is raising cash through a crowdfunding platform.
And CorPower Ocean, a Swedish start-up whose technology generates five times more wave power than rival applications, has secured backing from the EU, industry and the Swedish Energy Agency.
But there are other challenges facing clean energy, not least big uncertainties around the future direction of government policies on the sector.
While the global picture is positive, with governments such as China's making huge commitments, "at the individual country level there are always pressures," says Mr McCrone.
"In the UK the new government is not really friendly to onshore wind, so we could well see investment hit quite hard in the next few years.
"In the US there's a great deal of uncertainty about what's going to happen to the tax credits for companies incentivising wind and solar."
The biggest barrier of all is the continued subsidisation of fossil fuels, says CorPower chief executive Patrik Möller.
He believes that until carbon dioxide is priced at a point comparable to the damage it causes, a wholesale shift towards clean technologies is unlikely.
But Mr Nauta is optimistic, arguing that the falling costs of renewables will ultimately make them preferable to fossil fuels, regardless of whether consumers care about the environment.
"It is not a matter of if these technologies will rule but when: the questions are how fast we'll get there and who is going to benefit from this new economy," he says.
"If you're conservative and you let the lobbyists of the fossil fuel industry dictate your policies, you are going to miss out." | The government is dropping a bill to convert all schools to academies, announced in the Queen's speech.

The 23-year-old trainee accountant had only arrived from Poland two months before the bombings.
She lived in Archway with two other Polish women - friends from school and university - and on the morning of 7 July was on her way to work at an accountancy firm in West Kensington.
The last contact she had with anyone was at 0840 BST, when she sent a text message to a colleague to say she was having problems on the Northern Line and would get a bus.
Friends distributed posters of her in an attempt to track her down, worried she may have boarded the Number 30 bus which was ripped apart in Tavistock Square.
But police later said she was killed on the Piccadilly Line Tube travelling to Russell Square, and her inquest was held with fellow victims who died in that blast.
Ms Suchocka was part of a family of five with an elder brother, Marcin, and a younger brother, Maciek.
She grew up in Dabrowka Malborska, in northern Poland, where her mother was a primary school head teacher and her father worked for the local authority.
The book of tributes to those killed on 7 July described how she looked after her young cousins with great affection and was like a second mother to her little brother, born in 1992.
Because of ill health, she did not start school until she was six years old. It was her tenacious pursuit of goals that was said to set her apart.
In the tributes she was said to be "hard-working, scrupulous and reliable" and she always achieved top grades at school.
After leaving school, she completed a masters degree at the Academy of Economics in Poznan.
Ms Suchocka first went abroad in 2002 to study in Germany, and in summer 2003 she travelled to the United States to study English.
Just two and half months before the blast, she left for her new job in London.
The job was due to last until October that year, after which she would decide whether to stay in London or return to Poland.
Ms Suchocka continued to indulge her love of music after settling into her new life in the city, by playing the piano and joining a choir.
The book of tributes described her as "unassuming, gentle and sensitive, always ready to offer help to those in need".
Friend Tracy Purdon said: "This was her first time in London and she was really enjoying the excitement of it all."
Her elder brother Marcin said the siblings were in constant contact with each other, regularly sending text messages and emails.
The last time they spoke was on the Sunday before 7 July.
In his statement about his sister to police, he described the difficulty in accepting that Monika would never be at any future family gatherings.

The tourists, set a target of 490, began the final day on 382-8 and were on target for a famous victory until Asad Shafiq fell for 137 at 449-9.
Yasir Shah was run out by Steve Smith's direct hit from second slip four balls later as the home side won by 39 runs.
The record for the highest successful Test chase is West Indies' 418-7 to beat Australia in Antigua in 2003.
However, Pakistan's 450 all out equals the third highest score made in the fourth innings of any Test.
Man of the match Shafiq, who reached his century just before the end of day four, had expertly shepherded the tail, sharing half-century stands for the seventh, eighth and ninth wicket - the first time this had happened in a Test - with Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Yasir.
But when Shafiq fended off a Mitchell Starc bouncer to David Warner at gully, the Australians were swiftly able to wrap up victory in the 22nd over of the final day of this day-night encounter as Yasir fell after skipper Smith's direct hit caught him out of his crease.

The Lostprophets singer, 36, from Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT), admitted sex offences last month, including the attempted rape of a baby.
Ten slabs with lyrics were laid in Taff Street in a regeneration project.
A representative for the band said it was "understandable, but devastating".
RCT said the paving would be removed "as soon as possible".
Pontypridd AM Mick Antoniw had said RCT council should discreetly remove them.
The lyrics from Streets Of Nowhere had been used in the feature when the stones were laid last autumn.
Watkins's lyrics - "Every time I walk these streets I know they're mine" - appeared as part of a council-run project to highlight the area's history and culture.
Others on display include one from Sir Tom Jones's worldwide 1966 hit Green Green Grass of Home.
The slabs were put down last year but in December 2012 it emerged Watkins had been arrested following a drugs raid on his terrace house in Pontypridd.
Police found child sex abuse images and videos on his computer hard drive.
In December last year he was charged with sex offences including possession/distribution of indecent images of children - charges which he "furiously" denied.
Last month he admitted all the charges against him at Cardiff Crown Court.
Sentencing will take place on 18 December.
Watkins's former band mates have already turned their back on him, saying they are "heartbroken, angry, and disgusted" at his sex crimes and have urged more of his victims to contact police.
Now Pontypridd's AM is urging Watkins's home town to rid itself of his contribution in the regeneration project.
Mr Antoniw said: "My personal view is that it's probably not a good idea to keep something in a public place that now has this connotation.
"I think we should probably replace it discreetly and without a fuss.
"There was a lot of pride in Pontypridd in the band and what has happened has absolutely shocked, horrified and disgusted a lot of people.
"No-one has actually raised this as an issue with me but I think it's one of those things that if it's felt that it is offensive then I think the council would need to give some careful thought to removing it."
RCT Council said in a statement: "Rhondda Cynon Taf Council can confirm that granite paving featuring song lyrics written by convicted paedophile Ian Watkins will be removed from the streetscape of Pontypridd as soon as possible."
Claude Knights, chief executive of the child protection charity Kidscape, said: "Ian Watkins's crimes are appalling.
"It would be wise for the council to consider taking the slabs up. His work has been tainted.
"It should be removed for the sake of the local community."

The "maximum" level the Home Office has set aside for the new three-year contract is 10 times what was agreed when it was last advertised in 2011.
The department placed an advert in July inviting applications for the contract.
The successful bidder, which has yet to be announced, will be responsible for searches at Calais and Dunkirk ports, and Eurotunnel's terminal at Coquelles.
The current contract was awarded to Eamus Cork Solutions in 2011, with a value of £8m for three years, and was later extended for a further two years.
The Home Office said the scale of that service had increased over the contract period to meet "operational needs".
It said it was now looking for an "expanded level of service", but expected the new contract to be for "significantly less" than £80m.
The Home Office says the new agreement has an "estimated value" of £80m, excluding VAT, though officials say that is a "maximum" amount and no final figure has been decided.
According to details of the procurement, the contractor would have to provide 40 authorised search officers 24 hours a day for 365 days a year.
Three of the officers must also be trained as detainee custody officers.
Duties would include searching freight, tourist vehicles and passengers heading to the UK, and escorting and detaining people for up to three hours.
The contract is for three years, with the possibility of an extension for one or two more years.
The Jungle camp in Calais has become the focal point of France's refugee crisis, with about 7,000 people living there.
Last month the UK and France pledged to work together and "step up" moves to improve the migrant situation in Calais.
The two countries said they would resolve the situation through "close co-operation" and vowed to further secure the port and tunnel.
Debate over border controls was a key issue in the EU referendum campaign, with David Cameron claiming the Jungle could move to England if the UK left the EU.
But just weeks after the warning, the then-PM and French President Francois Hollande agreed a "mutual commitment" to keep it in place. After the Brexit vote, new PM Theresa May and Mr Hollande reiterated the commitment.
They were discovered in a double bed among the ruins of an isolated farm cottage in Reigate, on Tuesday morning, Surrey Police said.
Officers were called to the property in Trumpets Hill Road following concerns for the safety of the occupants.
On arrival, at about 11:10 GMT, they found the building had suffered serious fire damage. It is believed the fire had burned all night.
An investigation into the cause of the blaze is under way.
Next of kin have been informed of the deaths.
Resident Christine Beard said: "The houses are few and far between here so we weren't aware of anything.
"The police have been round but I don't think they know how the fire started or what time it started.
"It's terrible news. We had seen comings and goings from there with horses, and had taken in the odd parcel for them, but that's it."

The German was 0.833 seconds clear of Sauber's Felipe Nasr. Lewis Hamilton was fourth despite a reliability issue.
The Mercedes driver missed the final three hours of running because of a water leak caused by a failed part.
Meanwhile, Jenson Button managed only six laps in the McLaren as problems continued to plague the team.
That was only 10% of the target set by racing director Eric Boullier on Sunday after Fernando Alonso completed six laps on day one.
Like Alonso, Button failed to set a time as the McLaren was stranded in the pits with what the team said were "ancillary problems".
McLaren were "quite positive" they had fixed the problem and hoped to run the car again before the end of the day.
Button did head back out with fewer than 20 minutes of the session remaining but completed only one slow lap on a track soaked by a heavy shower of rain before returning to the pits.
With two unsuccessful days with a modified 2014 car in Abu Dhabi in November, McLaren have managed just 17 laps over four days of testing with the new Honda engine, none of them close to racing speed.
It is an inauspicious start to the renewed relationship between McLaren and Honda, which is returning to the sport for the first time in six years.
The two hope eventually to repeat the domination they enjoyed in their previous partnership from 1988-92.
Button said: "It has not been the easiest start to the season but it is a very complicated power unit. We understand the issue and we have our heads around it - that's what the last run in the wet was about - so we are hoping for a much more productive day three and day four."
Vettel's pace-setting time, set in a flurry of quick laps early in the day, will be an encouraging start to his Ferrari career, but headline laps in testing are a notoriously unreliable gauge of true pace, as it is impossible to know the specification the cars are running in.
The four-time world champion is scheduled to hand over the car to team-mate Kimi Raikkonen for the final two days of the test.
Despite his reliability issue, world champion Hamilton still managed nearly 100 laps, comfortably the most mileage of any team, to add to the 157 achieved by Nico Rosberg on Sunday.
"It was a good day," said Hamilton. "Testing is not the exciting part for any racing driver, but it is where you lay the foundations.
"We are working to understand the car. We can't get too excited just yet because we don't know where everyone stands.
"The car feels very much the same, with more downforce. We've made a step but how big is difficult to say."
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said: "It's just showing off really - to turn up and do 157 laps is taking the mickey.
"They had a good car last year and have evolved it. They are the benchmark, no doubt about it. We have made good progress and hopefully we can get closer to them."
Red Bull's day was ruined when new driver Daniil Kvyat ran off track early on and damaged the car's front-wing mounting pillars.
The team did not have a spare so the Russian was restricted to doing system-check laps without a front wing for the rest of the day.
With Valtteri Botta third-fastest in his Williams, the team's chief technical officer Pat Symonds was optimistic they had made progress from 2014, when they leapt from ninth to third in the constructors' championship.
"Valtteri's comments were very positive," said Symonds. "Initial comments do count for quite a lot and I was very encouraged by what Valtteri said."
The Lotus car ran for the first time after missing the first day of the test, with Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado setting the sixth-fastest time overall.
1 Sebastian Vettel (Ger) Ferrari 1:20.984
2 Felipe Nasr (Brz) Sauber-Ferrari 1:21.867
3 Valtteri Bottas (Fin) Williams-Mercedes 1:22.319

MEPs in Strasbourg have been looking at five options laid out by the European Commission in a White Paper.
Dan Johnson takes a look for Politics Europe.
Who made Gareth Bale their number one choice?
And which former Premier League star on the 23-man long list failed to win the backing of his brother?
BBC Sport analyses the votes by almost 500 national team captains, coaches and media representatives...
Argentina's Messi and Portugal's Ronaldo were each given a vote as the captain of their respective countries.
But, not for the first time, the two great rivals refused to name the other in their top three.
Messi picked Barca team-mates Luis Suarez, Neymar and Andres Iniesta, while Real Madrid's Ronaldo sided with his club colleagues Karim Benzema, James Rodriguez and Gareth Bale.
Brazil captain Neymar also showed loyalty to Barcelona, naming Messi, Suarez and Croatia midfielder Ivan Rakitic as his top three.
England manager Roy Hodgson raised eyebrows last year when he voted for Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano to win the 2014 award and chose not to pick Messi or Ronaldo in his top three.
Hodgson plumped for a more conventional vote this year, but Messi did not impress everyone...
Unsurprisingly (as he was the only Briton in the 23-man long list), it was Wales forward Gareth Bale.
The Real Madrid player remains the world's most expensive player and had an excellent year in helping steer Wales to the Euro 2016 finals.
But he was only nominated as the world's best by four people, including his Wales captain Ashley Williams and coach Chris Coleman.
Remember when the Premier League was considered to have the world's best players? Not any more.
Five players from the English top-flight were eligible to receive votes, but not one received more than 1.3% of the share.
Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard led the way with 59 points in Fifa's voting system, ahead of Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez (53) and Manchester City trio Yaya Toure (40), Sergio Aguero (39) and Kevin de Bruyne (21).
For context, Messi received 1,666 points.
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba arrived at Monday's ceremony with his mother Yeo as his guest - surely the France international would receive the support of his older sibling in the all-important vote?
Between midday and 20:00 GMT there were 1.3 million tweets using #BallondOr, which became the number one worldwide trend.
In contrast to Messi's 1.8 million, the term 'Ronaldo' featured 317,000 times during the same eight hours and upon winning the award, a new hashtag - #Messi5 - was used around 83,000 times in a little over an hour.
Referencing his five wins, #Messi5 was colourfully shared by Barcelona, with over 17,000 people re-tweeting this effort.
Not everyone appreciated her lush prose style, there were raised eyebrows at the inconsistencies in her different accounts of her life, and some conservative Americans protested at what they saw as her books' frank treatment of violence and sexuality.
But few could quarrel with the breadth of her erudition and her achievement - she was often called a Renaissance woman - or the respect in which she was held.
She was born Marguerite Johnson in St Louis, Missouri on 4 April 1928, the daughter of a nurse and nightclub habituee, Vivian Baxter Johnson, and a doorman and navy cook, Bailey Johnson.
Her parents soon divorced and her mother, unable to cope with two small children, sent Maya and her brother Bailey Junior to live with their grandmother, who kept a general store in the black section of Stamps, Arkansas.
The name Maya came from her brother's childish way of saying "My-a sister".
Angelou spent much of the next 10 years growing up in one of America's poorest regions, experiencing first-hand the racial segregation and prejudice of the Deep South: an experience brought vividly to life in her first volume of autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, published in 1970.
At the age of seven, on a visit to St Louis, she was raped by her mother's boyfriend. When she told her family what had happened the man was arrested, tried, released from jail and shortly afterwards murdered - probably by her uncles, her mother's brothers.
For the next five years she didn't speak.
"I was a volunteer mute. I had voice but I refused to use it," she later recalled.
"When I heard about his murder, I thought my voice had killed a man and so it wasn't safe to speak.
"After a while, I no longer knew why I didn't speak, I simply didn't speak."
But, though mute, she read voraciously and was ultimately persuaded to speak again by a friend of her grandmother who recognised her passion for poetry and told her that, to be experienced fully, it had to be spoken aloud.
Angelou later recalled her saying: "You will never love poetry until you actually feel it come across your tongue, through your teeth, over your lips."
Later she went to live with her mother in San Francisco (and renewed her relationship with her father, also living in California).
At the age of 15 she badgered one of San Francisco's streetcar companies into making her the city's first female cable car conductor.
At the age of 16 she gave birth to her only child, a son, after a loveless one-night stand undertaken largely in a spirit of inquiry.
Before long she had embarked on an extraordinary career that included stints as a dancer, waitress, prostitute and pimp. She became an actress and singer, recorded an album of calypso songs, appeared on Broadway and travelled to Europe in a touring production of Porgy and Bess.
Along the way she acquired two or possibly three husbands (she was always a little vague about the facts), and took her surname from the first, an aspiring Greek musician called Enistasios Angelos.
In 1961 she worked for a time as northern co-ordinator for Martin Luther King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference, then followed a South African freedom fighter, Vusumzi Make, to Cairo, where she became a journalist.
Later she took her son to Ghana, where she met the black activist Malcolm X. She returned to the United States in 1965 to work with him, but he was killed shortly afterwards. A few years later Martin Luther King too was assassinated.
"I along with a number of young people at the time had been disenchanted, and felt angry and protested inequality," she later told the BBC when she recalled her time with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
"But until the Civil Rights movement came along there was no clear way to oppose the inequities.
"I was very sure that between the two men, and the women, between the followers of both groups, we would certainly have a land where all the people, all the faith groups, all the Adams and Eves would have a chance to stand for a while in the sun. When those two men were killed we all stumbled about like blinded moles. It was really disastrous for black Americans."
It was around this time that her friend, the writer James Baldwin, helped persuade her to write her first volume of autobiography. It was a best seller, and six more volumes followed over the decades.
She began publishing poetry as well, wrote a feature film screenplay, wrote and presented a 10-part TV series about the blues and black Americans' African heritage, and played Kunte Kinte's African grandmother in the ground-breaking TV series Roots, about the black experience of slavery.
In the 1980s she added another string to her bow, becoming an academic and professor of American studies at Wake Forest University in North Carolina - a prestigious white university. In the kitchen of her home there (one of several she maintained, including one in New York's Harlem) she practised another skill for which she was renowned, cookery.
By now she was perhaps the world's best-known black female writer and one of America's best-known black women.
Bill Clinton acknowledged her status when he asked her to read a poem at his inauguration in 1993. Called On The Pulse of the Morning, it included the lines: "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived/But if faced with courage need not be lived again."
In 2010, Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Shortly afterwards she recalled that Martin Luther King, in the 1960s, had predicted that America would have a black president in 40 years: she hadn't believed it possible and had supported Hillary Clinton's bid for the Democratic nomination (the two were long-standing friends).
Throughout her life she was a superb phrase-maker, on the page and in the flesh. She had the knack of speaking - in the Southern accent she retained all her life and with a characteristic slow, deliberate delivery - in complete and grammatically perfect sentences.
She was a commanding figure, standing six feet tall, and immensely striking.
Of all her achievements, perhaps the most impressive was her own character. Life, she believed, was to be lived. "The excitement is not just to survive," she once said, "but to thrive, and to thrive with some passion, some compassion, some humour and some style."
The judges praised the "extraordinary intensity and vocal range" of his work.
Krasznahorkai, who writes in Hungarian, was chosen from a list of 10 contenders from around the world.
The prize, worth £60,000, is awarded every two years for "an achievement in fiction on the world stage".
Krasznahorkai's win was announced at an award ceremony at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London on Tuesday night.
The judges said of Krasznahorkai's work: "What strikes the reader above all are the extraordinary sentences, sentences of incredible length that go to incredible lengths, their tone switching from solemn to madcap to quizzical to desolate as they go their wayward way."
Born in 1954, Krasznahorkai gained recognition in 1985 when he published Satantango, which he adapted for the big screen in 1994.
The black-and-white drama, by Hungarian film-maker Bela Tarr, is notable for its seven-hour running time.
Krasznahorkai's other books include:
Announcing the winner, Marina Warner, who chaired the judging panel, said: "Laszlo Krasznahorkai is a visionary writer of extraordinary intensity and vocal range who captures the texture of present-day existence in scenes that are terrifying, strange, appallingly comic, and often shatteringly beautiful.
"The Melancholy of Resistance, Satantango and Seiobo There Below are magnificent works of deep imagination and complex passions, in which the human comedy verges painfully on to transcendence."
Krasznahorkai has chosen to split the separate £15,000 translator's prize between two translators of his work, the Hungarian-born poet George Szirtes and literary critic Ottilie Mulzet.
Other winners of the international Booker include:
Krasznahorkai will be interviewed by Marina Warner at the Hay Festival, in Powys, on Sunday 24 May.
Mr Reid, 75, has served in the Senate for almost 30 years, including as Senate majority and minority leader.
The Nevada senator said in video statement his retirement was not related to a recent accident nor to the Democrats losing control of the Senate.
"I want to be able to go out at the top of my game," Mr Reid told the New York Times.
Among those likely to replace Mr Reid in the leadership position are Illinois Senator Dick Durbin and New York Senator Chuck Schumer.
The Nevada senator, a former amateur boxer, first came to Congress as a Representative in 1983. He was elected Senate majority leader when Democrats took control of the chamber in 2007.
Mr Reid injured his eye and ribs when he fell in an exercise accident on 1 January. The senator said recuperating had given him to time "ponder and to think" about his political future.
He told the New York Times he had been contemplating possible retirement for months.
In his statement, he vowed to keep fighting for his party for his remaining 22 months in office.
"We have to make sure that the Democrats take control of the Senate again," Mr Reid said, adding he felt it was "inappropriate for me to soak up all those resources" when it could be used on other elections.
Mr Reid had a tough re-election fight in 2010 and could have faced another in 2016.
He also issued a warning to Republicans, telling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell "don't be too elated" because there are still 22 months to go.
The cash will plug gaps at Betsi Cadwaladr in north Wales and Hywel Dda in west Wales, both expected to go over budget in the 2016-17 financial year.
The £68.4m will come from Welsh Government reserves.
Health board budgets are now planned on three-year cycles, after criticism of frequent bail-outs of LHBs in the red.
In the 2015-16 financial year Hywel Dda overspent by £31.2m and Betsi Cadwaladr by £19.5m.
The left-back looked in pain as he received treatment 10 minutes from the end of Saturday's 1-0 victory at Ibrox.
With Rangers having used their three substitutions, Wallace played on to the final whistle.
"We have to see how he is. We thought it was an impact injury from the corner," said manager Mark Warburton.
"He got a bang going for the ball. We will see how he presents later on this evening but hopefully it's nothing too serious."
Rangers face St Johnstone in Perth on Wednesday, 28 December, before welcoming Celtic to Govan for the first time in four years on New Year's Eve.
A deflected Martyn Waghorn strike off Caley's Brad McKay proved sufficient as Rangers clinched their fourth straight Premiership victory to re-establish a seven-point lead over Aberdeen.
But they had goalkeeper Wes Foderingham to thank for the win as he produced a string of saves to keep the Highlanders at bay.
"It was a poor performance," Warburton acknowledged. "We were loose in possession and loose out of possession. Our shape wasn't good and we gave the ball away very cheaply.
"But the boys battled and scraped and got the win. I said to the players we've had a bad day in terms of our quality but they emerged with the three points so all credit to them.
"If you can have an off day and still emerge with the spoils it speaks volumes for the team. We've got four victories out of four, we're at 38 points now out of 19 games so we're moving forward."
New York City, the franchise team of English side Manchester City where Wright-Phillips started his career, took the lead through Thomas McNamara.
Wright-Phillips equalised for the visitors just after the break before Chris Duvall put them in front.
Matt Miazga secured the win for the Red Bulls, who won May's inaugural derby.
Former West Ham, Chelsea and Manchester City midfielder Frank Lampard has been signed by New York City FC and was in attendance at Yankee Stadium.
Real Madrid midfielder Gareth Bale was also one of the 48,000 spectators as the Red Bulls scored three times in a league game for the first time this season.
The win moved the Red Bulls fourth in the Eastern Conference, with City ninth.
It is thought that the white Mini crashed off the road and went down an embankment. It was not discovered until daylight.
The accident happened some time between 02:00 and 07:30 on Saturday about two miles south of Langholm.
Police Scotland have appealed for anyone with information, or anyone who saw the car on Friday night, to contact them.
The government had intended to capture six beavers, test for disease and re-home them in captivity.
It is unclear where the beavers came from, but campaigners say they should be allowed to stay.
The government has now indicated that the beavers could be tested near the river and released if disease-free.
In October, environmental charity Friends of the Earth, launched a legal challenge over the government's claim that the beavers were non-native, could be diseased, and should be removed.
It is believed the group, including three juveniles born this year, are the only wild beavers in England.
A spokeswoman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said: "Our priority has been to ensure humane treatment for the beavers while safeguarding human health, so we'll be testing the beavers close to the River Otter which will be better for their welfare than moving them elsewhere.
"We have a licence to capture the beavers, which we need to do to test them humanely for the disease EM (Echinococcus multilocularis) which has the potential to be very harmful to human health should it become established in the UK."
She said that the government agency Natural England was "expected to make a decision soon" on an application by Devon Wildlife Trust for the beavers to be released if clear of the disease.
FoE campaigner Alasdair Cameron said: "These are positive steps in the right direction, but until this issue is resolved, we will continue to make the case for these beavers to remain free."
A wild population of more than 150 animals has established itself on the River Tay in Perthshire, in the east of Scotland, while a smaller official trial reintroduction project has been taking place in west Scotland over the past few years.
Eight projects will benefit from the 4.6m euros (£4m) provided from European Union (EU) funds.
RSPB Northern Ireland will co-ordinate the work in NI, the border area of the Irish Republic and Scotland.
The projects aim to protect species like the hen harrier, golden plover and curlew.
The work includes plans to conserve areas of blanket bog on Antrim's Garron Plateau.
There will also be a project to advise landowners at Montiagh's Moss near Lough Neagh at Aghalee on how to manage land for the threatened marsh fritillary butterfly.
And there will be rush-cutting in lowland meadows to provide nest sites for waders.
The work will conserve rich habitats like blanket bog and fen wetland in areas like the Antrim Hills, the Pettigo area of County Donegal and the Muirkirk uplands of Scotland.
The money is coming from the EU's Interreg VA programme, and is being match funded by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, the Republic of Ireland's Department of Community, RSPB Scotland and Mines Restoration Ltd.
The 43-year-old Pinnick, who is is Delta State Sports Commission chairman and Delta FA boss secured 32 votes from the 44 available in a second round of voting.
Rivals Dominic Iorfa received eight votes and Taiwo Ogunjobi received four.
However, the man who was believed to be the front-runner for the job, Shehu Dikko, withdrew his candidacy.
Several problems arose in the build-up to the polls, with reports that the electoral chief Samson Ebomhe had been arrested by officers from Nigeria's main intelligence agency, the Department of State Services (DSS).
Ebomhe said on Wednesday that he had not been detained and was just unavailable, although he did not explain why.
The high-profile election was a battle between old heads Amanze Uchegbulam, Taiwo Ogunjobi, Mike Umeh, Dominic Iorfa and newcomers Shehu Dikko, Amaju Pinnick and Abba Yola.
But businessman Dikko, who helped arrange a tour of Nigeria for Manchester United in 2008 and has brokered several tie-ups with the English Premier League and the domestic league, pulled out of the race, according to the electoral committee.
The polls went ahead despite a court injunction barring it from taking place and incumbent NFF president Aminu Maigari, his general secretary Musa Amadu and the sports minister Tamuno Danagogo are expected in court on 8 October.
An injunction was purportedly granted to a group led by self-acclaimed NFF president Chris Giwa.
The group has twice been turned back by the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) in recent weeks.
A petition challenging the validity of the NFF general assembly was last week upheld by a Jos high court which then issued an injunction against the elections.
The elections went ahead nonetheless and thrust Pinnick into one of the hottest seats in African sport.
Pinnick said: "The plan is to make genuine reconciliatory moves. I will personally go to Jos to see and speak to Chris Giwa because we all need to come together for the sake of our country and football.
"I have already received calls from top corporate directors saying they will support us just by the names on the new NFF board, a clear indication that there is light and positivity ahead."
Also on Tuesday, Seyi Akinwumi was named as the first vice-chairman, while Christopher Green, Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande, Ahmed Yusuf, Felix Anyansi-Agwu, Dele Ajayi, Sharif Rabiu Inuwa, Modibo Hassaini and Kachalla Baba Gana were all appointed to the NFF board.
Musa Ibrahim Gusau was unopposed as Chairman of Chairmen, the head of Zamfara state FA, will represent his colleagues on the board.
The tenure of the new NFF board will expire in 2018.
Beijing is currently hosting an informal meeting for defence ministers from the region.
China's Defence Minister Chang Wanquan has suggested drills for "maritime rescues and disaster relief".
China's reclamation activities in the sea in recent years have raised tensions with its neighbours.
The Philippines and Vietnam, in particular, have overlapping claims with China.
China's proposal comes a week after the US announced it was considering sending ships to an area of the South China Sea China has claimed for itself, a suggestion which sparked strong words from China.
Read more: What is the South China Sea dispute?
The suggestion for joint drills was made on Friday at a meeting with defence ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) regional alliance.
The drills would be one way of achieving the aim of "jointly solving disputes and controlling risks", China's defence ministry said in a statement.
The offer "indicates potential for the conflict to de-escalate" and if Asean states agreed, the drills would be "a confidence-building measure that can ease tensions", military studies research fellow Daniel Wei Boon Chua, of the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, told the BBC.
William Choong, senior fellow at think-tank II-SS, called it "a conciliatory effort at blunting the bad press" and "to tamp down the temperature when you have US Navy ships possibly sailing in."
But he felt that the drills would be "unlikely" to take off, "because I don't see any concerted buy-in from Asean on joint patrols," he said.
Asean has had internal disagreements on a co-ordinated response to China on the South China sea dispute.
China has been accused of militarisation and illegally expanding its maritime claims by reclaiming land around island reefs and building airstrips and structures on them. The US has called on China to halt such activities.
Vietnam on Tuesday alleged that China was constructing two lighthouses in the Spratly islands, and said it "resolutely rejects and vehemently protests China's action." The country saw anti-Chinese protests last year over a Chinese oil rig in a disputed area.
The Philippines has also taken China to a United Nations tribunal for arbitration over China's claims, although Beijing has refused to participate in the process.
China has insisted that it is developing areas within its sovereignty and that the structures are for civilian purposes such as fishing and rescue work.
The African Grey parrots, which talk a lot to the family's pet dogs, were taken from a house in Saxilby, Lincolnshire, on Saturday night.
Two of the birds were found by members of the public in the local area.
But a third called Charlie, known for screaming and biting strangers, has not been seen since he was taken from an outbuilding at the house.
Marlene Cavill, whose husband has kept the parrots for 30 years, said they were really grateful to the people who had helped so far on the search but were concerned for Charlie's welfare.
She said the bird could die without medication for his asthma.
One of the returned parrots, Buddy, was found in Saxilby.
She added: "It's great to have him back but unfortunately he has lost his tail and isn't very well at the moment."
Growler, the second parrot, was found by a dog walker in Broxholme, about three miles away.
Mrs Cavill said Charlie may have been taken by two men who were seen "carrying something covered up and it was screaming".
Owner Colin Cavill, 77, added Charlie was known to bite people he did not know and could well have attacked his abductors.
The couple described Charlie as a "real character" who would tell the dogs when it was time for a walk and shout, "you are in trouble", at them.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
The first scheme is an expansion of the Abbeycentre that will involve amalgamating four existing units and adding an extension.
The development at the Newtownabbey retail park will involve building four restaurant/coffee shop units.
It would also see two existing retail units replaced with four new units.
Mr Durkan said the approvals would "regenerate previously developed sites and assist the expansion of existing shopping centres".
The Abbeycentre is controlled by local investors including Ken Cheevers, who owns the McLaughlin & Harvey building firm.
The Abbey Retail Park is owned by the London-based property firm, Hammerson.

Kristian Thomas, Courtney Tulloch, Dan Purvis, Nile Wilson and Louis Smith scored 268.4 points to finish ahead of hosts Switzerland, who took bronze.
"It was a great competition." Thomas told BBC Sport. "I think we all did our job there."
GB increased their score from qualifying but finished almost three points behind Russia.

Smith, on pommel, and Wilson, on parallel bars, both contributed major scores of 15.966.
There were also scores of more than 15 for Tulloch and Wilson on rings, Purvis on floor and Thomas on vault.
"I think there's a lot we can take from this competition," said Smith, who is optimistic about the British men's team's chances of success at the Olympics in Rio.
"We did 18 clean routines and we're not at full capacity yet. We're eight weeks from Rio so I think we're doing fantastically well."
World pommel champion Max Whitlock withdrew from the team with a virus and was replaced by Tulloch.
On Sunday, all five British men will compete for individual apparatus medals.

The three bombers were also killed and more than 15 people wounded during the attack in Tangi, Charsadda district.
There was a 20-minute firefight at the gates to the courthouse complex.
The Pakistani Taliban group Jamaat-ur-Ahrar says it carried out the attack, the latest in a number of bombings to hit the country in recent days.
In the latest attack, the suicide bombers reportedly threw hand grenades and opened fire as they tried to enter the court premises.
They were kept back by police guards on duty and were eventually killed - two by their explosives belts, and the third by police.
Five police officers were injured in the battle.
One witness told Reuters he had seen "many" dead bodies.
"I escaped towards the canteen and climbed the wall to save my life," said local resident Mohammad Shah Baz. "But there were many people dead and injured."
Pakistan has been hit by a wave of suicide bomb attacks claimed by various Islamist militant groups in recent days.
Police now say 90 people were killed when a bomber blew himself up at a shrine in the southern town of Sehwan last week in an attack claimed by the so-called Islamic State (IS).
In response, Pakistan launched a security crackdown - which included closing border crossings with Afghanistan - and claims it killed 100 militants.
Adam Alderson had organs including his pancreas, stomach and spleen replaced after contracting a rare cancer.
The operation took a team of 30 people about 17 hours to complete.
Mr Alderson, 36, married his fiancée, Laura Blanchard, in Hornby and said: "After everything we've been through this is the icing on the cake".
More stories from across Yorkshire
Mr Alderson, from Preston-under-Scar, near Leyburn, was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei in 2013 and at one stage was told nothing could be done and he was sent for end of life care.
But, after learning of pioneering surgery carried out on England rugby league player Steve Prescott he underwent the same procedure at Oxford's Churchill Hospital.
Mr Prescott died from complications three weeks after undergoing the operation but the same surgery was successful for Mr Alderson.
He is believed to be only the fourth person in the world to survive the operation.
Speaking after the ceremony he said: "I'm an emotional wreck today. I never thought we would see this day."
His wife, Laura, added: "We've been to hell and back, but it's what makes you really. It means the world to me and I'm absolutely thrilled."
Among the guests at the wedding was surgeon Georgios Vrakas, who led Mr Alderson's operation.
"It is probably the biggest operation someone can have today. It is a massive undertaking," he said.
"You have to really be fit and have the mental motivation to undergo this so, it's amazing to see that he's actually leading a normal life now."
The couple will celebrate their wedding by taking part in a 15,000 mile rally to Mongolia to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support and The Steve Prescott Foundation.

Can they maintain order, keep things civil and cajole candidates into giving meaningful answers amid the maelstrom of insults, interruptions and waffle?
Here's how the moderators at the three debates - all vastly experienced TV hosts - fared.
Mr Wallace has been hailed as the real winner in the third and final debate.
The Fox News journalist was praised for an even-handed approach and not letting either candidate digress too wildly.
There was humour too - in one exchange he admonished Republican candidate Donald Trump: "I'm not a potted plant here. I do get to ask questions."
Mr Wallace asked tough questions about a new Supreme Court appointee and abortion - and he secured the debate's eventual headline when he pushed Mr Trump on his claim the election was being "rigged" against him.
"There is a tradition in this country, in fact one of the prides of this country, that is the peaceful transition of power and that no matter how hard fought a campaign is, at the end of the campaign the loser concedes to the winner and the country comes together, in part for the good of the country," he said.
"Are you prepared now to commit to that principle?"
Mr Trump refused. But the Republican, who had accused previous moderators of bias, reportedly congratulated Mr Wallace afterwards, telling him he had done a "great job".
Verdict: Pick of the bunch
This debate had a Town Hall format - where the audience got to ask questions - and two moderators to keep the candidates in check.
It took place shortly after Mr Trump was revealed to have made obscene comments about women in a 2005 video, and he was agitated and defensive throughout.
Mr Cooper and Ms Raddatz asked him directly if he had ever sexually assaulted a woman - but they also grilled Hillary Clinton about her use of a private email server while Secretary of State.
The pair were aggressive in shutting down interruptions and "tightened the reins" when necessary, said Politico.
But Mr Trump hated it. He complained about the time he was given, criticised the questions and grumbled about the contest being "three-on-one".
His supporters also weighed in online, accusing them of getting in the way.
Verdict: A tight grip, but little flair
Things were tricky for Mr Holt even before the first debate kicked off.
There was already a row simmering over how much fact-checking moderators should do when interviewing.
Mr Trump had also accused Mr Holt of being a Democrat, although his voting record later showed otherwise.
And because it was the first debate ,he had no idea how the candidates would react to each other.
Despite that, when it came to the crunch most observers felt he withdrew from of the fray.
Mr Trump in particular was repeatedly allowed to talk over Mrs Clinton, interrupting her more than 50 times according to one count.
Mr Holt was "almost invisible" said Fortune Magazine.
Of 5m tweets about the debate, 444,000 were about him, many far from complimentary.
Afterwards Mr Trump appeared to hesitate before shaking his hand and later tweeted that he was unhappy at the choice of questions.
Verdict: Thrown in at the deep end, but weak

But sci-fi has a long history of becoming science fact, as outlandish creations inspire real research.
Tractor beams
In Star Wars, the unfortunate heroes are caught in a "tractor beam" that freezes their ship and pulls them towards the enemy. Star Trek has a similar weapon.
An Australian university can do the same thing - although its experiments with lasers could only manage to move a tiny object (one fifth of a millimetre) along about 20cm.
British researchers, meanwhile, have been experimenting with sound waves to shift objects through the air - and can just about manage objects the size of a pea at about 40cm away.
The moon landing
In 1865, Jules Verne published the outlandish novel From the Earth to the Moon, in which three Americans are fired into space in a gun. In his story, the three men launch a lunar vessel called Columbiad, weighing a little under 20,000 lbs, at a cost of $5.5m.
A century later, America did send three men to the moon - in the command module Columbia, which weighed 26,300 lbs, at a cost of $16bn.
To cap it all off, Verne's estimate of $5.5m was equivalent to about $13bn in 1969.
No more needles - the hypospray
In the world of Star Trek (which also predicted flip phones), any ill character is almost miraculously healed by an "injection" from a hypospray - a device with no needles that delivers the cure painlessly, through the skin.
That is a jet injector, and although famous from the TV show, actually predates it. Aaron Ismach invented the jet injector in 1960, six years before Star Trek. It was used for mass vaccinations - especially in the military - since it could be used over and over again. But that brought contamination risks, so it has fallen out of use.
However, the idea hasn't gone away. In 2012, MIT released an updated design for the "hypospray" which can be programmed for many uses, and inject drugs at the speed of sound, which they hope will eventually eliminate the need for needles.
Energy weapons
We're a long way from laser pistols, but a modern energy weapon is the US military's "active denial system", used for crowd control. The non-lethal weapon works like a microwave oven, and causes extreme discomfort as it heats the target's body underneath the skin - and causing the target to flee.
And the Taser personal defence weapon is actually an acronym for Thomas A Swift's Electric Rifle.
Nasa researcher Jack Cover, who created the device, named it after a 1911 book he read as a child, in which the eponymous hero invents a gun that fires bolts of lightning.
Wells and Asimov
Most remarkable of all, perhaps, is the eerie accuracy of a handful of science fiction writers in the 20th century.
HG Wells predicted automatic sliding doors in 1899, and the atomic bomb in his novel The World Set Free, written in 1913 and published the following year.
Isaac Asimov, however, made some startlingly accurate predictions about 2014, in an essay to mark the 1964 World's Fair,
They included global video calling, robots that would "neither be common nor very good in 2014", flatscreen TVs and early 3D and self-driving cars.
Such predictions suggest anything is possible. But there are still plenty of limits on what we can do. Some research, while reported on with incredible headlines, simply hasn't reached any practical application yet.
Invisibility 'cloak'
Whether you're a Harry Potter fan or a space traveller, "cloaking" is often used to refer to invisibility, bending light around an object to make it disappear.
This can actually be done for small objects - if you want to arrange a set of lenses in a precise arrangement, using the Rochester Cloak technique, it can be reproduced at home. But with its strict set up, it's just an optical trick.
Other "cloaking" attempts have been able to hide objects from microwaves or radar, but there's nothing yet that can fool the human eye in practical scenarios.
Power armour
From Iron Man to future dystopia, powered armour for soldiers has always been a staple in sci-fi. The US military is among those with an eye on the idea.
TALOS - that's a Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit - has often been described as an "Iron Man suit", but is far less exotic than the superhero's attire.
Instead, the US Army hoped to create a "smart" bodysuit, which monitors soldiers' vital signs, with a powered exoskeleton to increase strength.
The project is rumoured to use liquid armour which solidifies when hit by bullets - but very little is known about its progress.
Teleporters
The "transporter", a staple of sci-fi, is probably impossible. But that doesn't stop it making headlines.
In a process called quantum entanglement, a change made to one particle in lab conditions can affect another one, some distance away. It's a way to send information from one place to another, without it travelling in the space between, hence "quantum teleportation".
But the particles involved - qubits - are information only, and there's no evidence that it can be used for atoms, molecules and certainly not people - but it could lead to a futuristic internet.
Warp drive theory
In Star Trek and many other films and television shows, "warp drive" is a way to travel faster than light (which should be impossible) by bending space around a spacecraft.
The closest we have is called an "Alcubierre drive", after the mathematician who proposed it.
The idea is to shrink space in front of the ship and expand space behind it - so the ship itself never has to travel at light speed.
But it has so many practical problems it may never actually exist, and Nasa generally considers it impossible - despite the occasional piece of research on the topic.
External experts reviewed the deaths, which occurred at Royal Oldham Hospital and North Manchester General Hospital between January 2013 and July 2014.
They found a "notable absence of clinical leadership" resulting in a "failure to adequately plan care".
Pennine Acute NHS Trust apologised to the families of those who died.
A trust spokesman said he could not comment on whether any of the deaths resulted from failings, saying it was a "legal matter for the coroner".
The review, carried out by a senior midwife and an obstetrician outside the trust, found risk management during and before labour were "below standard, which may have contributed to the poor outcomes".
Three cases involved women medically classed as obese, with their needs "not managed in line with local and national guidance".
Twelve recommendations were made, including improving how serious incidents were dealt with and reviewing the process for employing locum doctors.
Three maternal deaths "did not appear to be the result of deficiencies in care".
The trust said it was investing more than £1m by recruiting 40 new healthcare assistants to support patients and midwives.
Thomas Beaty was one of seven babies who died. His parents earlier said they believed he would still be alive "if it were not for the actions of Royal Oldham Hospital".
He suffered severe head injuries after five attempts were made to deliver him using forceps.
National guidelines recommend no more than three attempts.
Gill Harris, chief nurse at the trust, said the incidents "should be seen in the context of approximately 10,000 births a year" at the hospitals.
She said: "The trust board today repeated sincere apologies to all of the families involved for the failings in care which had been identified. I have met with a number of the families and have reiterated the offer to meet with the remaining families, if they wish.
"The review of the incidents found that whilst the maternal deaths did not appear to be the result of deficiencies in care, further scrutiny and improvement was required from the review of the neonatal deaths."
The trust will now be twinned with the Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as a "shared learning arrangement".
The Pope urged the refugees - forced to flee their homes by the militant group Islamic State - to "persevere", and said he was close to them in his heart.
At a Christmas Eve midnight Mass at St Peter's Basilica, the Pope called on believers to show more empathy towards family and friends.
On Christmas Day, the Pope will deliver his "Urbi et Orbi" Christmas address.
The call to refugees at a camp in Ankawa was made by satellite phone and broadcast live on Italian TV.
"Dear brothers, I am close to you, very close to you in my heart," he told them, saying he was thinking particularly of children and the elderly.
"Innocent children, children who have died, exploited children... I am thinking, too, about grandparents, about the older people who have lived their lives, and who must now bear this cross."
He told them they were like Jesus, forced to flee because there was no room for them. "I embrace you all and wish for you a holy Christmas," he said.
Advances in Iraq by Islamic State have forced tens of thousands of Christians and people from other religious minorities to flee to Kurdish controlled areas.
Later in his homily during Christmas Eve Mass, the Pope said the world needed more tenderness and warmth.
"The question put to us simply by the infant's presence is: 'Do I allow God to love me?'" he said.
"Do we have the courage to welcome with tenderness the difficulties and problems of those who are near to us?"
A dominant Barca had 74% possession and 21 shots in Belarus, where Luis Suarez and Neymar forced early saves.
Rakitic, who replaced the injured Sergi Roberto after 18 minutes, found the top corner from 20 yards after half-time.
Neymar made the opener and created Rakitic's coolly taken second with a slick pass.
Luis Enrique's side host BATE - crowned champions of Belarus for a 10th straight season at the weekend - in their next game on 4 November.
Any upset looks unlikely on this showing and the Catalan club's progress could be all but guaranteed by victory if Roma and Bayer Leverkusen draw on the same night.
Even without the injured Lionel Messi, Luis Enrique's side created a host of chances but goalkeeper Sergey Chernik kept them at bay until Rakitic scored his first club goal since last season's Champions League final.
Neymar, influential throughout, could not add to his tally of five goals in his past two games as he was denied by a series of blocks and Chernik's saves.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique: "This can be a turning point.
"We have been on a run where it has been difficult for us to score and we have suffered at the back with the little that we have been threatened.
"You always need to improve. It was not as though we were so bad but we needed to change.
"We have created a lot of chances to score but we continued with the same run we have had all season where we have not finished them off."

The 18-year-old woman was taken in a van from Sandown High Street and later assaulted in a car park in Niton on Friday morning, police said.
The man from East Cowes has also been charged with grievous bodily harm.
Hampshire Constabulary said he also faces three other charges for offences committed in September, relating to grooming and exploitation of children.
He is due before Newport magistrates on Monday.
Bromwich stood down as national captain after it was alleged in court he and Proctor bought the drug following Friday's defeat by Australia.
The World Cup runs from 27 October to 2 December.
"I can't express my disappointment enough in their actions," said New Zealand coach David Kidwell.
"We have values to uphold. They have broken my trust, their team-mates' trust and the trust of the New Zealand public.
"No-one is bigger than the team."
The decision to exclude the pair from the tournament, which will be held in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, was taken after NZRL management and senior players met to discuss possible sanctions.
Melbourne Storm prop Bromwich, 28, has also been suspended for two games by his club and ordered to have counselling and treatment courses.
Proctor, also 28, has stepped down as co-captain of Gold Coast Titans and will appear before a club board this week and will not play until a "final decision" has been reached.
The allegations against the pair emerged in a court case which heard that a local man was captured on CCTV preparing a white powder on his phone.
He then handed it to Bromwich and Proctor, who were said to have rolled up bank notes and taken the substance.
While both players were named in court, neither has been charged with an offence.
Murder accused Tanveer Ahmed, 32, from Bradford, said in a statement he killed 40-year-old Asad Shah as he had falsely claimed to be a prophet.
Mr Shah was an Ahmadiyya, a group known for its peaceful interfaith concerns.
Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders in Glasgow have now called for other Muslim leaders to condemn the statement.
In a statement issued on Wednesday through his lawyer, Mr Ahmed said: "Asad Shah disrespected the messenger of Islam the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Mr Shah claimed to be a Prophet."
He added: "If I had not done this others would and there would have been more killing and violence in the world."
Glasgow's Ahmadiyya Muslim leaders issued a statement in response stating Tanveer Ahmed had said that he killed Mr Shah because he 'disrespected' the Prophet of Islam.
The statement said: "This is deeply disturbing and sets an extremely dangerous precedent, as it justifies the killing of anyone - Muslim or non-Muslim - whom an extremist considers to have shown disrespect to Islam.
"In some countries Ahmadiyya Muslim members, Christians and people of other faiths are routinely attacked and murdered by extremists for accusations of blasphemy.
"Such killings are completely against the teachings of Islam.
"We must not let the same mindset of hate and violence take root here in Glasgow, and for that matter, the UK and anywhere in the world.
"The Ahmadiyya Muslim community urges the government and law enforcement agencies to take all possible measures to root out all forms of religious hatred, intolerance and sectarianism.
"If extremists are given a free hand, we will come to see the same levels of religious hatred and persecution here in the UK that we see in some Muslim countries.
"It is the firm belief of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community that all people should be able to peacefully practice their faith without fear of persecution or violence.
"We urge all religious bodies, especially Muslim leaders and Imams, to come out in public to condemn this statement made by Tanveer Ahmed, so that all Muslims know this is never acceptable in Islam.
"This will go a long way to help eliminate all extremists."
Mr Ahmed is accused of killing Mr Shah outside his shop in Glasgow's Shawlands area two weeks ago.
The shopkeeper, who had moved from Pakistan to Glasgow almost 20 years ago, was found with serious injuries outside his shop on Minard Road on 24 March. He was pronounced dead in hospital.
Mr Shah was killed just hours after he posted an Easter message on Facebook to his customers.
The message said: "Good Friday and a very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nationx"
During the police investigation officers claimed the incident was "religiously prejudiced" and confirmed both men were Muslims.
Mr Ahmed has been charged with murder and made a second court appearance on Wednesday where he made no plea and was remanded in custody.
The delays are affecting blood delivery service Serv, whose managers have complained about a lack of information.
Alan Rogers, Serv Surrey controller, said bikers had been affected by the roadworks on the Coopers Hill Viaduct.
The Highways Agency said drivers should allow an extra 40 minutes for journeys, especially if heading for Gatwick.
In peak times about 4,500 vehicles an hour use the section of the M23 between junctions eight, which joins the M25, and nine, for the airport.
Night-time closures and a variable contraflow system, which started last month and will last until the end of November, have been causing tailbacks on both carriageways.
Mr Rogers said Serv's bikers collected blood at night from Tooting in south London for distribution to hospitals in Surrey.
They also meet riders on the A23 at Hooley to transfer blood for hospitals in Kent and Sussex.
"We don't know which parts of what roads are going to be closed on any particular night and that makes planning quite difficult," he said.
"The challenge is getting to the liaison with the Kent or Sussex guys for our pre-arranged rendezvous time."
Peter Phillips, Highways Agency manager for the M23, said: "If you are trying to get to Gatwick then please give yourself plenty of time or find yourself an alternative means of travel.
"There is a very good rail link but if you have got to come by car leave yourself plenty of time.
"Our website is the best source of information."
Separate roadworks to widen the A23 between Handcross and Warninglid in West Sussex are coming to an end.
The Highways Agency said a third lane would open to the public this week, with remaining resurfacing taking place at night.
A number of people have been left homeless after the fire overnight in a row of terraced houses.
The blaze at the properties in Marine Parade in the Old Town, was reported at about 00:30 BST.
Six properties were evacuated by East Sussex Fire and Rescue services, with about 35 people having to be escorted from the buildings.
Police said the woman, in her 60s, fell about 12m (40ft) and suffered spinal, pelvic and ankle injuries.
She was taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton and is also receiving treatment for the effects of breathing in smoke.
A man was also taken for treatment at the Conquest Hospital on Hastings.
Kevin Boorman, from Hastings Borough Council, said: "There are six properties that stand in a terrace. Five of them are very severely damaged and you can see that the roofs of them have gone.
"The one at the end has not been so badly damaged."
He said the owner had spent several months using scaffolding to help paint the outside of his home which had allowed firefighters to get onto the structure in an attempt to put out the fire.
Those evacuated were initially taken to the Boat House on Hastings seafront and then transferred to the East Hastings Sea Angling Association.
Hastings Borough Council said those affected will be re-homed.
The cause of the fire is not yet known. | The Home Office is preparing to pay a private company up to £80m to provide security at ports in northern France.

Companies reported their fastest growth in new orders for seven months in May.
"Furthermore, firms have continued to increase their staffing levels at a faster rate than the long-term average prior to the downturn," said Ulster Bank chief economist Richard Ramsey.
The bank surveys businesses on things like orders, exports and job creation.
Mr Ramsey added: "The latest survey offers encouragement after a disappointing start to the year.
"Despite these encouraging signs, the pace of Northern Ireland's recovery continues to lag behind the UK as a whole and most of the UK regions."
The recovery in new orders is down to increased demand within the UK market.
But the strength of sterling continues to present a big challenge for exporters into the Eurozone.
"Export orders fell for the fifth month in a row in May and have now been flat or falling since October 2014," he said.

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said it hoped to resolve the dispute during a round of talks, but noted that it had enforcement powers available should they fail.
Google said it was taking its responsibilities seriously.
The news comes exactly one year since the controversial ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Along with other search engines, the internet giant has been obliged to remove links to articles that contain "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" information about an individual.
Under the decision, the person named must make a request to have the links removed from the results for a specific search.
Google has consistently said that it considers it a mistake to make it the arbiter in such cases, as the ruling effectively does.
The ICO confirmed to the BBC that it was discussing 48 cases it believed Google had not got "quite right" and has asked the internet giant to revise its decisions.
The action available to the ICO, should the discussions over those cases fail, includes a fine and a legally binding enforcement notice that could lead to court action, if the firm refused to comply.
But the body would only take such action if it found that Google's processes were not fit for purpose, rather than as a direct reaction to a single complaint.
An ICO spokesman said: "Since the details of the right to be forgotten ruling were first announced, we have handled over 183 complaints from those unhappy with Google's response to their takedown request.
"In around three-quarters of these cases, we have ruled that Google was correct to turn down an individual's request to have their information removed. This suggests that, for the most part, Google are getting the balance right between the protection of the individual's privacy and the interest of internet users."
But, it said, there were still a "significant number of cases where we believe Google haven't got it quite right and they have been asked to revise their decision".
While Google has done so in "many cases", the ICO said it was "looking to resolve the remaining cases through discussion and negotiation with Google, though we have enforcement powers available to us if required".
A Google spokesman said: "We haven't always got privacy right in Europe, not just because of errors we've made, but our attitude too. But our swift and thoughtful implementation of the right to be forgotten ruling showed that for Google this was a genuine 'we get it' moment.
"We've also worked hard to give users more control over the data we collect and we're looking at how to make those tools easier to find and use. So stay tuned."
Free speech campaigners have claimed that the ruling makes it easier for people to hide negative - though fair and accurate - references to them online and there have been sites set up to track the links taken down.
The BBC said in October 2014 that it would publish a list of its articles to which links have been taken down. A spokesman said on Wednesday that that remained its intention, though a decision on when and where to publish has not yet been taken.
However, others have pointed out that the ruling helps people avoid bad news stories unfairly dominating the results of searches related to them.
Google has said that it has received more than 250,000 requests to remove about 920,000 links, of which 41.3% have been removed from its search results, according to its transparency report.
While the ruling only applies to European sites, the deputy information commissioner David Smith told the Times that he believed Google should remove links on its US domain as well.
The ICO is also running a review of websites and apps used by children, it announced on Tuesday.
It will look at how information collection is explained and what parental permission is sought on 50 websites and apps.
It said: "The same approach will be taken by 28 other privacy enforcement authorities from around the world, with a view to publishing a combined report in the autumn. The ICO will also consider action against any website or app that it finds to be breaking the Data Protection Act." | Google is in talks with regulators over nearly 50 "right to be forgotten" cases it is accused of getting wrong. | 32,720,944 | 865 | 25 | false |
Ryan Harley's 25-yard thunderbolt after 66 minutes gave the Grecians the lead before former Exeter player Arron Davies levelled for Stanley four minutes later.
Taylor then volleyed home the winner to lift Exeter off the bottom of the fledgling table.
Stanley only had themselves to blame as they spurned the best first-half chances.
Sean McConville forced goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik into a two-handed save, Jordan Clark curled a shot narrowly wide while Seamus Conneely headed inches over the crossbar just before the half-hour mark.
Accrington came close again after 44 minutes when Davies had a shot cleared off the line by Craig Woodman, then Blackburn loanee John O'Sullivan saw his fierce strike held by Olejnik at the second attempt just before half-time.
Exeter came out stronger after the break and the game erupted in the 66th minute when Harley got the ball from Ollie Watkins 25 yards out and unleashed a fierce strike which goalkeeper Aaron Chapman could do nothing about.
It was all-square after 70 minutes when Janoi Donacien found Davies on the edge of the area and he fired the ball low and hard into the net against his former club.
But Stanley only held onto their lead for two minutes as Robbie Simpson laid the ball off for Taylor to volley home the winner.

Mr Xi is now commander in chief of the military's Joint Operations Command Centre.
State media showed him visiting the centre wearing camouflage fatigues.
China's foreign policy has become increasingly assertive in recent years, especially on its claims to disputed territories in the South China Sea.
Mr Xi is already General Secretary of the Communist Party, and chair of the Central Military Commission, which manages the People's Liberation Army.
China military plane lands on disputed reef
Cult of personality: Why is China dancing for 'Uncle Xi'?
Correspondents say that, given Mr Xi's consolidation of power in China, the move will be interpreted by some as a propaganda message that he is now in absolute control.
Analysis: John Sudworth, BBC News, Beijing
As Shakespeare once wrote, what's in a name?
We probably shouldn't make too much of the new commander in chief title. The fact that it has been bestowed on President Xi by the country's state-run media certainly does imply some kind of official approval.
But he was already in military command, everyone knew that, and to most Chinese ears the phrase is unlikely to conjure up the same resonances as it does in English translation, with its obvious link to the seat of US military power.
President Xi is, we're told, commander in chief of the new Joint Operations Command. It sits at the heart of his vision of a new, leaner, more technically sophisticated Chinese military.
The title, if anything, underlines what we already knew: China is modernising its armed forces fast, and Xi Jinping is at the centre of that change.
During his visit to the centre on Wednesday, which was widely publicised in state media, he said the armed forces should be "absolutely loyal" and "capable of winning wars".
Experts say his appearance in military fatigues may also be a display of strength aimed at China's rivals.
China and several of its neighbours are locked in a territorial dispute over the South China Sea, which Beijing claims almost in its entirety.
Witnesses said five people were on the path when about 50m (150ft) crumbled into the shoreline, in late morning local time. Search operations are now under way.
The elevated path was built ahead of the Rio Olympics this summer. The cause of the collapse is not yet known.
No events were planned for the bike lane, which opened earlier this year.
A witness, Ademir Guedes, told the O Globo newspaper (in Portuguese) he was cycling along the route before being alerted to the danger.
"I thought he was joking. I never imagined a newly built bike path would collapse. I went slowly to the edge of the cliff. Then drivers started shouting at me warning of the risk."
Baby girl Jaelyn was born on New Year's Eve in the last minute of 2015 and her brother Luis was born in the first few minutes of New Year's Day.
Because they were born on different days, it means that they won't share the same birthday.
"Maribel really wanted to have the babies on the same birthday because you know later on in the years, they're going to have a little confrontation and be like, 'my birthday came first,' so it means two birthday parties, back to back," Dad Luis said.
The twins measured 18.5 inches long and along with their Mum Maribel, are healthy and happy.
The force said the job would involve being on call 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, and working in confined spaces, at height and underground.
Successful applicants will not only be required to clear sites of "all plants" but recycle them in the "appropriate manner".
The recruitment is part of Operation Viscount, which aims to tackle cannabis cultivation in the region.
Along with a full, current driving licence applicants will also need a tolerance for high temperatures and a "good level of physical fitness" as "bending, lifting and stretching" would be required.
Interviews for the £17,763 to £18,933-a-year post are due to take place in October.
The 27-year-old former Fulham trainee was offered an improved three-year contract by the Saddlers.
Cardiff have also signed winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing on a free transfer from Rochdale.
"I just feel that he can contribute a lot to us next season," said Bluebirds manager Neil Warnock.
Both players will officially join up with Cardiff from 1 July.
Etheridge has also previously played for Bristol Rovers, Crewe Alexandra, Charlton Athletic and Oldham Athletic.
He has been Walsall's number one for the past two seasons, making 94 appearances.
"We haven't had a big goalkeeper, and this lad is 6"2," said Warnock.
"He's always come out on top when we're talking about goalkeepers and we're delighted that he's agreed to sign.
Walsall released second-choice keeper Craig MacGillivray at the end of the season, but have offered a new deal to third-choice Liam Roberts, who was on loan at Chester last season.

The iPhone SE has the same processing and graphics performance of the larger Apple 6S, the firm said, and can capture 4K video.
The new iPad Pro will have a 9.7 inch screen - the same size as the original iPad.
The iPhone SE will be available in 110 countries by the end of May.
With a starting price of $399/$499 (£277/£346), the new iPhone is the "most affordable" handset Apple has ever released, Apple said.
It also said the new iPad Pro would be available in three different storage sizes with an extra large 256GB version.
Pricing will begin at $599 for the smallest version and will ship in the US at the end of the month.
Apple said it sold 30 million four-inch handsets last year, however its handset sales have slowed in recent months in line with the overall smartphone market.
Some analysts are predicting up to a 15% decline in shipments in the first quarter of 2016 alone.
"The smart phone market has definitely consolidated around five and six inch devices globally so the question is why has Apple come out with a slightly smaller version?" said Annette Zimmerman, a research director at analyst Gartner.
"It is not really to capture a trend, but these people who are on an iPhone 4 or 5 and are quite happy with the size.
"It's a way to upgrade them and obviously selling a phone with a smaller screen size helps with the margins on these devices," she added.
"I don't think it will lead to the sort of strong growth we saw after the iPhone 6 came out - that would be really difficult to top."
Chief executive Tim Cook addressed the elephant in the room right away. Apple's court battle with the FBI over encryption heads to court on Tuesday. Mr Cook said he did not ever expect to be "at odds with government". He said Apple "would not shrink" from its responsibility to protect encryption.
The comments received a warm applause from the audience - but Tuesday will be a very different story as the company comes face-to-face with the families of the victims of the San Bernardino attack.
Monday's launch was just as expected. With iPhone sales slowing, Apple needed to capture some new customers - and the iPhone SE will likely do just that.
It's aimed at the types of people whose budget can't quite stretch to a new premium iPhone - people who may have instead gone for an Android device.
Unlike the 5c, Apple's last budget iPhone, the SE doesn't come in a range of cheap and cheerful colours. This is meant to feel like a top product, only smaller.
Geoff Blaber from CCS Insight said there were "no surprises" but that the products were still "crucial" to Apple's business.
"A new price point and new hardware should not be underestimated," he said.
"The iPhone SE and iPad Pro 9.7 could be viewed as largely iterative but nonetheless they are still crucial products for Apple as it looks to bolster growth across two crucially important categories".
Some observers were underwhelmed by Apple's latest news.
"We have officially run out of ideas for new products," tweeted tech podcaster Jeff Bakalar.
The firm also showed off a recycling robot called Liam which can strip down old iPhones into their components for reuse.
The Apple Watch is to come down in price to $299 (£207) from its launch price of $349, chief executive Tim Cook also announced.
That is one of the criticisms in a report from the IMF's Independent Evaluation Office (IEO).
It says the handling of the crisis raises issues of transparency and accountability.
The IEO acknowledged, however, that the crisis posed "extraordinary challenges" to policy makers.
The report, which looked at the bailouts for Greece, Portugal and Ireland, examines the IMF's role in a crisis it was quickly drawn into.
The first bailout was agreed for Greece in 2010. Although it was funded mainly by the rest of the Eurozone there was a contribution from the IMF as well.
Financial packages for Ireland and Portugal followed.
The IEO report focuses on these three programmes. Later the IMF also got involved in a second package for Greece and one for Cyprus. In the case of Spain and a third bailout for Greece the IMF has contributed advice but not finance - or at least not yet for the third Greek package.
The programmes were controversial. Critics said the austerity - intended to get government borrowing needs down - was excessive and did immense economic and social damage.
The IEO report says that in the case of Greece and Portugal, the IMF's economic growth projections were too optimistic. A more realistic assessment would have allowed countries to prepare better and might have persuaded the Eurozone countries to provide more generous financial aid.
There is also criticism of the process by which Greece came to get what's called "exceptional access" finance - assistance above the limits that normally apply to member countries seeking help.
Such access was limited to cases where the country's debt could be regarded as sustainable "with a high probability". Greece did not pass that test, so financial assistance would have required the private creditors to take losses on what they were owed first.
But there was great reluctance in the Eurozone to allow that, so a new exemption was introduced to the IMF approach policy for cases where there was a high risk of international financial contagion.
It was a change of policy and the IEO report says "the modification process departed from the IMF's usual deliberative process whereby decisions of such import receive careful review".
This "systemic exemption" as it's known, has subsequently been removed.
The report says the IMF's handling of the crisis helped create the impression that it treated Europe differently.
The IMF's managing director Christine Lagarde responding to the report described the agency's role in the Eurozone crisis as a "qualified success".
She says it is too easy to forget what the world looked like in 2010. There were fears of another event like Lehman, the American investment bank whose failure in 2008 led to the most severe phase of the international financial crisis. She says in the Eurozone case "major contagion" was avoided.
England came third at the 1999 and 2011 tournaments and fourth at the 2003 and 2007 competition.
They also finished fourth at the 2014 Commonwealth Games but lost by just a point to both World Cup holders Australia and runners-up New Zealand.
"We're competing so strong," Housby, 20, told BBC Newcastle.
"We're going out there to right that wrong. It's the best chance England have had in a long time
"I think the Aussies and the Kiwis can be afraid of us because the performance we put in at the Commonwealth Games was so heartbreaking - to come within a goal at the end of it."
Australia, New Zealand and Jamaica have been thorns in England's side, taking gold, silver and bronze at the Games in Glasgow last year.
Despite that, England are confident they can reach their first final since 1975.
"We know with the squad on paper we can definitely do that," Housby said.
"It's about getting the mentality that the Australians and New Zealand have had for so many years to push it and get over the line."
Coach Tracey Neville has prepared her side for the tournament with a series of "on-the-road" friendlies, including Monday's win against Scotland at Newcastle's Sports Central venue.
"I think it's something that Tracy is passionate about as she's worked in the north," Housby added.
"It's really good to get the kids involved, and there's a lot of them, waiting here for autographs.
"It's got netball out there and hopefully they'll support their Super League franchise - Team Northumbria - next season."
The case has been brought by German make-up and perfume brand Coty.
It wants to stop one of its retailers from selling its goods on online marketplaces such as Amazon.
Owners of luxury brands argue that they should have the right to choose who distributes their products, to protect their image and exclusivity.
The dispute is in the spotlight now because the European Commission is pushing for more cross-border online sales to boost growth and jobs and catch up with the US and Asia.
Among other questions, the court will consider whether protection of a luxury image is a legitimate reason for a selective distribution system.
The case originally went to a court in Germany, but, later, guidance was sought by the European Court of Justice.
The ruling could have a significant impact on the future relationship between brands and resellers and impose widespread bans on the sale of luxury goods on Amazon Marketplace and eBay.
As well as fighting to control their distribution channels, luxury brands are also battling to control the amount of counterfeit goods online.
Matt Jones, a solicitor at law firm EIP said the ruling would provide clarity on where luxury goods can be sold.
"Luxury brands do not want their stuff sold on platforms that also sell fake goods and cheap alternatives," he told the BBC.
The Tour will still use urine testing as an anti-doping measure, with blood testing intended to detect substances such as human growth hormone.
Commissioner Jay Monahan said the move would "better substantiate the integrity of golf as a clean sport".
Suspensions due to recreational drug use will also now be reported.
Currently, misdemeanours related to recreational drugs are kept confidential but this will no longer be the case as part of widespread changes in policy for the 2017-18 season, starting later this year.
The PGA Tour provides the week-to-week competitions for many of the world's top golfers who base themselves in the US, while the European Tour does so in Europe.
It has operated its own anti-doping programme since 2008 and consulted with both Wada and US Anti-Doping in putting it together.
But its banned list differed to the Wada code in three categories, relating to asthma medications, allergy and anti-inflammatory medications.
Wada's figures for 2015 showed that golf carried out the fewest drugs test - 417 - of any summer Olympics discipline.
The International Olympic Committee urged the PGA Tour to adopt fully Wada's code before the sport's return to the Olympics in 2016, where players were subject to blood testing.

The barrier, built in the 1980s, is on the city's Crumlin Road and encloses part of the Ardoyne area.
It is owned by Northern Ireland's housing authority, which is replacing it with railings and decorative panels after "talks within and between communities" in the area.
This footage from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive shows the wall being knocked down.
The credentials were found by security firm Palo Alto Networks while investigating suspicious activity on many Apple devices.
It uncovered a malicious software family that targets jailbroken iPhones.
The majority of people hit by KeyRaider are in China but Palo Alto said iPhone owners in 17 other nations had also been caught out.
The theft is believed to be the biggest ever involving Apple accounts, said Palo Alto in a blogpost outlining its findings.
User reports of unauthorised payments being made via iTunes accounts and of apps being installed unexpectedly alerted Palo Alto to a potential problem.
It found that an attacker had made changes to software used on jailbroken iPhones. A jailbroken iPhone is one that can run apps that are not sourced from the main Apple app store.
The main purpose of the booby-trapped software was to let people get apps and other Apple content without paying for them. The malicious version of the code, dubbed KeyRaider by Palo Alto, spied on transactions to scoop up login names, passwords and other credentials.
The stolen data was sent to a remote server run by the malicious hackers behind KeyRaider.
Apple's phones are the third most popular in China behind Huawei and Xiaomi, suggests research.
Security firm Symantec said iPhone-owners were taking a risk by jailbreaking their device because this can remove the security checks Apple introduced to thwart malicious apps.
"Third-party app stores often don't have the same controls and policies in place when it comes to the software they distribute," it said "and may be used to harbour malicious copies of well-known apps or other malware."
Carl Davies, 33, from Kent, died on Reunion Island in November 2011.
The death was initially treated as an accident, but a murder investigation was started 10 days later.
His sister Kerrie Stewart said the family had been told the trial should start by the end of next June.
"We live in a nightmare that is never ending," Ms Stewart said.
"You want to wake up some days and say 'get me off, I've had enough'.
"I'd like to wake up one day and feel normal and that's not something that any of us have been able to do."
She said the trial would help the family rebuild their lives around her brother's memory.
Mr Davies, a former marine, is believed to have arrived on the French-governed island on 7 November 2011.
His body was discovered two days later and a murder investigation started on 19 November.
Prosecutors had accused Jared James Abrahams of carrying out the attacks over a two-year period.
The current winner of the Miss Teen USA beauty pageant - Cassidy Wolf - had been identified as one of his targets.
The 19-year-old computer science student will be sentenced in March.
He faces up to 11 years in jail and $1m (£626,000) in fines.
According to prosecutors, at least two dozen women in the US, Ireland and elsewhere had their PCs hacked by Abrahams.
Court records state that the computer science student told the women - who ranged from the age of 16 to their early 20s - that he had taken pictures of them while they were undressed. He then threatened to post the images to social media sites unless they sent additional photos or stripped via a Skype video feed.
The authorities said at least two of the victims had complied.
Cassidy Wolf - a schoolmate of Abrahams - did not respond to his threats.
Abrahams later posted a naked photo of the beauty queen online and is reported to have sent her a message saying: "Your dream of being a model will be transformed into a porn star."
Appearing in court at Santa Ana, California, he pleaded guilty to three counts of extortion and one count of unauthorised computer access.
He also told the judge that he had autism - a factor his lawyer said should be taken into account when sentencing takes place.
The case is not the first of its kind.
In July another American, Karen "Gary" Kazaryan, pleaded guilty to hacking into women's computers, stealing their online identities and then using them to fool other women into removing their clothing on camera.
The previous year the US courts convicted Trevor Timothy Harwell for installing spyware on women's laptops and then sent an alert stating that they needed to place the machines "near hot steam" to fix an internal sensor. Many of the women took the machines to their bathrooms to do so, where he took photos of them getting undressed.
The charity, Childnet International, has become so concerned by such threats that in June it suggested webcams should be disconnected when not in use.
Cassidy Wolf posted a similar message in a tweet after Abrahams pleaded guilty: "Happy to know that this nightmare is coming to an end #ProtectYourselves #CoverYourWebcams."
President of investment bank Morgan Stanley, Colm Kelleher, said the City would "suffer… the issue is how much".
Meanwhile, Rob Kapito, head of one of the world's largest investment houses Blackrock, said there was "a lot of concern" in the financial community.
He also said voters had not been given enough facts before the EU referendum.
"The unintended consequences of Brexit will be significant for everyone across the UK," he said.
Mr Kelleher said his bank's immediate concern was over whether to invest further in the UK.
This was because the terms of a potential Brexit deal were still unclear.
"It is that uncertainty that is causing problems," he told the BBC's Today programme.
However, he said a bigger worry was whether banks would retain their "passporting rights" after Britain leaves the bloc.
These rights currently allow them to trade across the bloc without the need for individual country licences.
He said: "I am convinced that London will retain its reputation as a prestigious global financial services centre.
"But clearly some size of our businesses will have to be moved out of London into European headquarters with the absence of any passporting agreement - but it's very hard to ascertain what that will mean at the moment."
He also said Brexit was damaging efforts to implement the Capital Markets Union, a European Commission initiative to bolster the low use of capital markets to finance European companies and infrastructure projects. Mr Kelleher noted banks still finance 80% of lending on the continent.
For this reason he urged UK ministers and Brussels to include a "long transitional period" for banks as part of any Brexit deal.
His comments were echoed by Mr Kapito, whose firm Blackrock manages assets worth almost $5tn (£3.8tn).
"I don't think there is any good [financial services] firm that has not already started to look at real estate in different areas outside the UK in case they have to move larger operations," Mr Kapito said.
"There is no one that doesn't have people looking at tax implications, investment implications, manufacturing implications."
He said the decision to leave the EU could have a big impact on financial companies' staff, too.
This is because many work "cross border" and many "have spouses that work cross border".
"There are very few answers to the questions will they be able to maintain their jobs, will they have to move home, where [Europe's] the financial centre might move to," he said.
Sam Northeast's unbeaten 54 guided his side to a revised target of 181 off 18 overs after Somerset made 197-6.
Middlesex moved off the bottom of the South Group, ex-New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum smashing 63 from 28 balls to help beat Essex by 72 runs.
In the North Group, Northants easily passed Worcestershire's 158 all out to earn a seven-wicket win.
Brett D'Oliveira (52) was the mainstay of a below-par Rapids total, in which seven players failed to reach double figures, with Richard Gleeson (3-12) and Rory Kleinveldt (3-25) doing the damage with the ball.
Reigning T20 champions Northants scored 160-3 to earn a third win in four matches and go second in the table.
Openers Richard Levi (47) and Adam Rossington (42) ensured a blistering start and Alex Wakely's unbeaten 46 got the Steelbacks over the line with 14 balls left.
A season's-best T20 Blast powerplay total of 77-0 by Kent openers Joe Denly and Daniel Bell-Drummond teed up an impressive victory at Canterbury.
Some ferocious hitting and fine timing saw Steven Davies (62) and Johann Myburgh (64) star in Somerset's 197-6.
But former England man Denly and Bell-Drummond were equally impressive, despite a brief wobble following the rain delay which saw the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system set a new target of 181.
Both men fell soon after the resumption, however captain Northeast ensured Kent went up to fifth in a tight group with four points separating all nine teams.
Middlesex had no shortage of leaders as they batted Essex out of the game on their way to a total of 203-6 and a crushing 72-run win over Essex Eagles.
T20 Blast skipper McCullum was at his destructive best, reaching his half-century off just 19 balls and scoring 54 of his 63 runs from boundaries.
England ODI and T20 captain Eoin Morgan added a more considered 39 from 30, while wicketkeeper John Simpson (50) also made a half-century.
Pace bowler Tom Helm then took 5-11 from just 20 balls as Essex were all out for 131, with James Foster's 25-ball 50 the only show of resistance in a lacklustre reply.
The result takes Middlesex up to fourth in the table, with Essex dropping to bottom spot.
The teenager, named locally as Holly Brown, was on a bus carrying 21 students from Staffordshire when it crashed in Birmingham on Friday.
The teenager was a pupil at John Taylor High School, in Barton-under-Needwood.
Tributes have been left outside the school including one which reads: "RIP Holly, fly high."
The teenager was confirmed dead at the scene of the crash in the Castle Vale area of the city.
A second teenage girl was taken to hospital with minor injuries and others were treated at the roadside.
John Taylor High School has tweeted a picture of the tributes, adding they showed "hundreds of reasons why Holly was so special".

West Midlands Police said the minibus was also carrying four adults - the driver and three teachers.
No arrests have been made. Police said that both drivers were assisting with the "detailed and thorough" investigation.
Police are investigating whether or not all those on board were wearing seat belts.
Birmingham City Council confirmed one of its bin lorries was involved in the crash and they "will be fully co-operating with all investigations".
Having reduced the Tykes to 9-2, with Anderson bowling opener Alex Lees, the 34-year-old broke down during his sixth over and had to leave the field.
Gary Ballance struck 74 as Yorkshire fought back, but his dismissal sparked a mini-collapse to leave them 178-6.
However, Jack Leaning's unbeaten 54 helped the visitors to 251-6 at stumps.
Leaning was well supported by wicketkeeper Andy Hodd (41 not out) in a partnership of 73 to at least drag Yorkshire to a more competitive score.
But the day's major talking point was the early injury to Anderson, which will be assessed again before the second day and is sure to be of concern to both his club and country.
However, the severity of the problem remains unclear and, with England's first Test match of the summer against South Africa not coming until 6 July, his international commitments may not be affected.
Despite being a bowler short, Lancashire still had the better of the opening day at Old Trafford, with Ryan McLaren (2-37) and Tom Bailey (2-82) leading the attack.
Only Ballance, whose 74 came off 163 balls and took him past 1,000 runs for the season in all competitions, and Leaning made half-centuries after Yorkshire had chosen to bat first.
Lancashire coach Glen Chapple told BBC Radio Manchester:
"Jimmy's got a tight groin. He felt some pain and came off with it. He's had ice on it all afternoon and he will be assessed in the morning. Fingers crossed he won't be feeling it, but we'll have to see.
"He walked off all right, but we'll see how he is. If he's still feeling it, he will probably need a scan.
"We had a great start with the two early wickets. We made it difficult for Yorkshire to score. The pitch is fairly slow but seemed to get better and better to bat on. At 180-6, we'd have liked a little bit more out of the day. But, all in all, it's about par."
Yorkshire coach Andrew Gale told BBC Radio Leeds
"We're a bit disappointed that we didn't get a few more partnerships early on. We feel it's a decent pitch. It's going to deteriorate, hence why we batted first. But Jack Leaning showed his quality there. It's been a while coming and hopefully he can kick on tomorrow.
"He hasn't looked out of nick. He just needed a score. Hopefully this will kick-start his season. We all know what he's capable of.
"It looked like it was swinging a bit early doors. The lads dug in well and got us a decent end to the day."
The 33-year-old will fill the county's overseas player role from April until the arrival of South Africa leg-spinner Imran Tahir in June.
Mendis has played 54 one-day and 16 Twenty20 internationals for Sri Lanka.
"He is an experienced match winner who will also help our talented youngsters," director of cricket Kim Barnett told the club website.
The Islamist militants struck on the last weekend before the Muslim religious festival of Eid al-Fitr. Dozens of diners were at the cafe, which is popular among foreigners and middle-class Bangladeshis.
The Gulshan district is a high-security area and considered among the safest places in the capital. Several embassies and non-governmental organisations are based in the neighbourhood and hundreds of foreigners and wealthy Bangladeshis live there.
The government had stepped up security after an Italian aid worker was killed in the area by suspected militants in 2015. It is difficult to travel through Gulshan without passing through a security check post. But the latest attack has shown that even Gulshan is not safe.
Over the past three years, more than 40 people have been killed in Bangladesh by suspected Islamists. But the attacks were mostly targeting individuals - secular bloggers, writers, activists, academics and members of religious minorities.
The attack on the cafe was on a different scale. It seems to have been well planned and well co-ordinated.
The militant group Islamic State says it carried out the attack although the government in the past has denied its presence in the country. But the co-ordinated assault has underlined concerns that global Islamist groups may be securing a presence in Bangladesh.
The Bangladeshi government has come under criticism for what many experts describe as a "state of denial" on the presence of increasingly assertive Islamist groups in the country.
The government argues the attacks are sporadic and that it is very much in control. It points out that the powerful Bangladeshi army is well trained and well-equipped to face any threats. But the increasing violence is likely to cause significant damage to the country's image and, more importantly, trigger insecurity among religious minorities in the country.
"After a spate of attacks on minorities, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians in Bangladesh are feeling insecure and helpless," says Rana Dasgupta, General Secretary of the Bangladesh Hindu-Buddhist-Christian Unity Council.
"The fundamentalist forces are trying to drive us out of the country. But the government has initiated some action against the militants and our prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, is sincere in combating fundamentalism and terrorism."
Bangladesh's efforts in tackling extremism and militancy have been commended by the United States and neighbouring India. A decade ago, the South Asian nation was gripped by fundamentalist violence, but over the years, successive governments, particularly the governing Awami League, have taken stern action against Islamist militants.
The government has also co-ordinated several counter-terrorism measures with Western nations. But extremist-related violent incidents are on the rise again.
Following widespread criticism over the increase in violence in the past few years, the government launched a concerted drive against militants by arresting thousands of people. But the main opposition, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), says the government is using the operation to target political opponents.
Bangladesh is a Muslim-majority nation and often seen as a model Muslim country because of its secular values and its development-oriented policies.
After years of political violence, it has been enjoying some sort of stability. The country's economy has been growing consistently at a rate of 6-7% for several years. The stability has also attracted many foreign investors, and the global garments industry looks up to Bangladesh.
Last year, Bangladesh exported more than $25bn ($18.8bn) of ready-made clothes, mostly to Western nations. The thriving garments industry and remittances from Bangladeshis working abroad have also helped to lift millions of people out of poverty. Hundreds of foreigners, many of them businessmen, visit Bangladesh as the country still offers plenty of opportunities.
It is clear that the government has been caught unaware, and the cafe attack exposes a big hole in Bangladesh's intelligence-gathering and security system. Some even question the government's political will and commitment.
As a result, there are concerns that if the government fails to recognise its shortcomings, it may end up reversing years of economic growth and stability.
The Irish arts minister has confirmed that the 2015 famine commemoration will take place on Saturday 26 September in Newry, County Down.
In "the great hunger" of 1845, 1.5 million people emigrated to Canada, America and England.
Many died of typhus on the so-called "coffin ships".
Irish minister Heather Humphreys said the famine affected all of the island of Ireland.
As a result, the commemoration rotates between its four provinces.
The first commemoration took place in Dublin in 2008 - in total, there have been eight commemorations - and this year, it falls to Ulster.
"The annual famine commemoration is a solemn tribute to those who suffered in the most appalling circumstances that prevailed during the Great Famine," Ms Humphreys said.
"While the scale of suffering was greater in some parts of Ireland than in others, all parts of the island suffered great loss of life and the destruction of families and communities through emigration.
"In this commemoration, we remember all those who suffered, those who died, those who survived but who lost family members, those who were forced to emigrate and those who remained in Ireland but suffered other forms of loss because of the Great Famine."
In 2011, the commemoration was held in Clones, County Monaghan, in the province of Ulster and Ms Humphreys was present.
"It was very moving to witness the involvement of the entire community in the event and in particular, the participation of children. I look forward to engaging with the local community in Newry, as they bring their unique perspective to remembering one of the most important events in our shared history, and as an Ulster woman, I look forward to participating in the event in Newry in September," she said.
The minister and the famine commemoration committee welcomed Newry's strong application, the enthusiasm shown by the local community for the project and their determination to mark the occasion in a fitting, respectful and inclusive manner.
The newly-established Newry, Mourne and Down District Council will take a leading role in organising the commemoration.
The Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in the Republic of Ireland and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure in Northern Ireland will work with the council and other stakeholders.

O'Neill's side, regarded as tournament outsiders, are seeking their first points after an opening loss to Poland.
"Seven teams lost their opening game so it is not as if we have been cut adrift from the tournament," said O'Neill.
"We need to stifle our opponents and exploit their weaknesses. We did the first part of that well against Poland.
The 46-year-old said he had no injury worries for the match at the impressive 58,000-capacity Stade de Lyon.
O'Neill's team will be expected to adopt a more positive approach, rather than the policy of containment employed against Poland.
However, the 46-year-old acknowledged that Ukraine will have targeted this group match as the one they are most likely to win and hinted he may resist the temptation to pick another frontman to partner Kyle Lafferty.
"There are not many teams in this tournament who will play with two out and out strikers," O'Neill said.
"So we have to think about that and whether we will change things during the match.
"We have spent most of our time since the Poland match looking at ways of doing things better.
"The margin between success and failure is so fine. Steven Davis was half an inch from maybe getting an equaliser and that would have put a whole new slant on it."
O'Neill said Ukraine won 12 corners during their opening 2-0 defeat by Germany and pose a big threat at set pieces.
"We recognise their strengths and have to be ready to match their physicality," he added.
It has been confirmed that Northern Ireland's players will wear black armbands against Ukraine in memory of Darren Rodgers, the 24-year-old from Ballymena who died in Nice following his country's game with Poland there.
The 27-year-old former England youth international, who left Sunderland at the end of last season, has previously had spells with Chelsea and Everton.
"Brooke is a really exciting addition," Royals boss Kelly Chambers said.
"She is a goal scoring player who definitely adds to my attacking options and fits well into our style of play."

Brendan Rodgers' side were without Griffiths and fellow striker Moussa Dembele as they drew 0-0 in the first leg of their Champions League tie.
But the Scot is free of suspension for the return leg of the qualifier.
"Hopefully the wee man could be fit. But, if not, we have a lot of options," insisted the midfielder.
"He's been working around the clock to try to get fit.
"The wee man's always chomping at the bit to get on the park to score goals.
"As soon as he gets that ball, he wants to put it in the back of the net and I'm sure he'll be ready to do that. Here's hoping anyway."
Following the goalless first leg at Celtic Park, Rodgers explained his lack of cover for Griffiths and Dembele by stressing that having three top strikers at a Scottish Premiership club would be an expensive luxury.
Midfielders Tom Rogic and Scott Sinclair were both used up front during the third qualifying round game against Rosenborg, while Callum McGregor could be an option in Norway after his three goals in Saturday's friendly win over Sunderland.
"The gaffer is very relaxed that way and he knows we've got attacking midfielders who can create chances and score goals," said Brown.
"Scotty, Tom, Jamesie Forrest, Callum McGregor scored a hat-trick at the weekend, so we know we've got people there who can score goals.
"That's why we've got a big squad and that's why we believe and put faith in other people as well."
Brown has shrugged off a knock he took near the end of the match against Rosenborg in Glasgow.
"I'm fine," he said. "It's old age. That's what it is. Just a wee slight tackle.
"The guy left his studs in and I've managed to kick the bottom of his foot, but everything's okay."
Brown does not accept that home advantage now makes Rosenborg favourites to reach the play-off stage.
"The game plan was spot on from them," he admitted. "They defended well and they managed to stop us from scoring goals.
"But we had a lot of possession and now we just need to move the ball a lot quicker and create more chances and, once we create those chances, we have to take them as well.
"It's 0-0, so if we score a goal, they need to score two.
"It's still 50-50. It depends on who wants it more on the day."
Meanwhile, Brown revealed that former Celtic team-mate Shaun Maloney was at their Lennoxtown training ground on Monday after being linked with a return to the club as an under-20s coach.
The 34-year-old Scotland midfielder, who turned down the offer of a contract extension with Hull City, had been poised to join Aberdeen until an injury problem was revealed.
"He was in today to have a look around and I was speaking away to him," added Brown. "The wee man would be brilliant.
He's just a great guy overall. He works well, is willing to learn and he'll bring a lot of class as well."
Indian owner Tata Steel is planning to sell its entire UK business, which employs about 15,000 people.
A Labour Party call for Parliament to be recalled early has been rejected, but the prime minister will chair a meeting of key ministers on Thursday.
Mr Javid is cutting short a trip to Australia - and says he is looking at some kind of government support.
"I don't think that nationalisation is going to be the solution," he said.
"Because I think everyone would want a long-term viable solution, and if you look around Europe and elsewhere, I think nationalisation is rarely the answer, particularly if you take into account the big challenges the industry faces."
Tata's Port Talbot site employs 5,500 of Tata UK's current 15,000-strong UK workforce.
Prime Minister David Cameron spoke to Welsh First Minister Carwyn Jones this afternoon and "agreed it was an extremely worrying time for the workers and wider community in Port Talbot, and South Wales more broadly", a Downing Street spokesperson said.
The UK and Welsh governments will work "to do everything possible to secure the future of steel making at Port Talbot and elsewhere in the UK", and the governments will "support a sales process" and "remain in close contact in the days ahead", the spokesperson added.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn travelled to Port Talbot, and criticised the government for not responding more strongly to the surge in cheap steel imports from China.
He said the government must recall Parliament and do what it takes to keep the UK steel industry alive, and to ensure British-made steel is used to build infrastructure in the country.
Mr Corbyn added: "We are saving an industry that will provide the basis of all the goods that we all need."
The Tata decision, which was announced after a board meeting in Mumbai on Tuesday, also affects workers at its other UK plants, including Rotherham, Corby and Shotton.
Mr Javid had arrived in Sydney on Tuesday for what was due to be a three-day trade visit.
He said the "UK steel industry is absolutely vital for the country. We will look at all viable options to keep steel making continuing in Port Talbot."
He also said that there were "buyers out there" and that the government was "more than ready to look at all way we can provide commercial support to secure the long-term future of steelmaking in Port Talbot."
The government has certainly been caught on the hop. The prime minister and other ministers are abroad. There was no minister in India negotiating with Tata. In contrast, the Labour leader is on the ground in Wales demanding that Parliament be recalled. So the government is playing catch-up.
That said, the government has decided that this is not just about South Wales, that there is a wider strategic interest that is at stake here. That Britain needs a steel industry for its wider manufacturing, infrastructure and defence needs. That is why it is actively considering some form of state aid.
The problem is that there are constraints on government action here. Can it afford to subsidise steel in the long run? Will the EU allow it? Will Tory MPs accept it? So this is one of those crises where there are few easy answers.
Tata Steel said it could not give an "open ended" commitment to keep the UK plants open while a buyer was sought.
Explaining its decision sell the UK business, Tata said trading conditions had "rapidly deteriorated" in the UK and Europe due to a global oversupply of steel, cheap steel imports, high costs and currency volatility.
"These factors are likely to continue into the future and have significantly impacted the long-term competitive position of the UK operation," it said.
Koushik Chatterjee, a group executive director of Tata Steel, told the BBC, the company wanted to move quickly to secure that sale.
He said Tata must cut its losses in the UK, where it had lost £2bn in five years, and the sale price was not the most important issue: "It [Tata's UK steel business] has become quite a burden for the company. It is not a valuation exercise, it is an exposure exercise.
"The view the board took finally was we can't sustain this kind of exposure. So it's not about the bid being low or high. It's about some one being willing to buy the business."
Tata's Scunthorpe plant is in the process of being bought, and last week a deal was agreed to sell its two plants in Scotland.
One option for Port Talbot, which is the UK's biggest steel plant, would be a management buy-out.
Sources say that unions and management at Tata Steel have already come up with with a turnaround plan for the 100-year old plant.
The Welsh Assembly has been recalled to discuss the crisis.
The Welsh government-led Tata Taskforce will hold its first meeting on 4 April. It will be chaired by the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, Edwina Hart, and also include representatives from the Community union and Tata.
Roy Rickhuss, general secretary of the trade union Community, who met representatives from Tata in Mumbai on Tuesday said: "We will not let the steel industry in the UK die. We are not going silently into the night."
Meanwhile, a Network Rail spokesperson said: "British steel is absolutely central to our Railway Upgrade Plan - we buy more than 140,000 tonnes of rail each year and 98% of that is made in Britain.
"Tata Steel is one of the most important links in our supply chain, providing the majority of our steel rail from its subsidiary, Longs Steel UK Ltd, in Scunthorpe.
"We're certain that both Longs Steel and its current prospective buyer remain absolutely committed to helping us build a bigger, better railway for Britain."
The state government said the services were being misused by "anti-government elements" to incite violence.
Graphic videos claiming to show abuses on both sides have been shared extensively.
At least nine people have died in widespread violent clashes with the security forces in the disputed region.
Other social media services, communications tools and websites to have been banned under the order include YouTube, Skype, Telegram, Snapchat and Reddit.
The state government order said "objectionable contents" were being distributed to "spread disaffection" with the authorities.
Confrontations in Indian-administered Kashmir have become frequent since the killing of popular militant leader Burhan Wani by security forces last July.
The latest bout of violence began on 9 April when eight people were killed and scores injured after police clashed with protesters during a by-election in the city of Srinagar.
Since then, hundreds of students have protested on the streets, chanting anti-India slogans and throwing stones at the security forces.
Graphic videos claiming to show abuses on both sides have been shared extensively on social media and have added fuel to the conflict.
In recent weeks, schools have been set on fire and police say three politicians have been killed by unknown gunmen.
Muslim-majority Kashmir is at the centre of a decades-old territorial dispute between India and Pakistan.
India accuses Pakistan of supporting separatist sentiment in Kashmir, but Islamabad denies this. Both countries claim Kashmir in its entirety and control different parts of it.
Wheater, whose contract expired in May, has agreed a new performance-based deal after impressing in pre-season.

Price, 38, told ITV's Loose Women that being a victim "led to me dressing provocatively" and go into modelling.
She appeared on the show as a guest alongside Karen Danczuk, who was raped by her brother when she was a child.
Price, who gained fame in the 1990s as her former alter-ego Jordan, previously spoke about a rape claim in 2009.
After leaving school, Price began training as a nurse but turned to glamour modelling instead, she told Loose Women on Wednesday.
"You could be all sexy," she said. "Being a glamour model is a trade for men, so it was like, you can look at me but you can't touch me."
Hosts Ruth Langsford, Saira Khan and Janet Street-Porter asked how the assault had affected her life.
"I say it hasn't affected me but it must deep down," she said, adding that the assault "absolutely" impacted her choice of career which had given her a sense of control.
In 2009, Price told Piers Morgan on chat show, Life Stories, that "some weirdo" had attacked her in a park.
She added on Loose Women: "I've never gone into actual detail about what he did.
"I've been abused and raped since then, I'm not going to say who."
Price has previously said she was raped by a ''famous celebrity'' in a magazine column published eight years ago.
At the time, she said she had no plans to make a formal complaint and would "absolutely never" name the celebrity.
Mrs Danczuk, whose brother Michael Burke was jailed for 15 years in December, said: "Mentally I feel like I'm ready to move on".
She added: "At the same time I can be washing the dishes or walking to school with my boys and get flashes in my head."
Wilson, 27, joined the Latics from Bristol City in January 2014, making 109 appearances for the club.
The Cardiff-born player won his only Wales cap in a World Cup qualifier against Belgium in October 2013.
"James is an athletic, mobile centre-half and knows this division," manager Chris Wilder told the club website.
"We've had him with us for a few days, had a good look at him and he will be a good addition to our squad."

A statement by his office said anyone acting in the name of the rebel Seleka Coalition would be punished.
The rebels have been blamed for looting and many deaths after former President Francois Bozize was ousted in March.
Supporters of Mr Bozize have recently staged an offensive, leading to the death of nearly 100 earlier this week.
The UN has warned that CAR could become a failed state, threatening the region.
A statement issued by Mr Djotodia's office on Friday said: "The Seleka Coalition is dissolved over the length and breadth of the Central African Republic's territory. Only the Central African security force is in charge of protecting our territorial integrity.
"Any individual or group of individuals who acts in the name of Seleka after the publication of the present decree... will incur the full sanctions under the law."
Mr Djotodia, a former rebel leader, was sworn in as president earlier this month after his forces ousted Francois Bozize in March.
Aid workers have accused undisciplined former rebels of looting the healthcare system, as well as robbing civilians, since the Seleka coalition of armed groups took power in March.
CAR has huge deposits of minerals such as gold and diamond deposits but has been plagued by chronic instability since independence in 1960.
Mr Djotodia has promised to relinquish power after elections scheduled for 2016.
Mr Bozize is currently in France after initially fleeing to Cameroon when Seleka fighters seized the capital, Bangui.
Earlier this week, his force launched an offensive north-west of the city - the first large-scale operation the former president's forces have staged since he was forced from power.
Services to the whole of Withernsea, East Yorkshire, failed at about 18:00 GMT on Saturday.
Northern Gas Networks confirmed the supply was restored to around 3,000 homes and businesses at around 20:45 on Sunday.
It was thought water may have damaged equipment during Friday's storms.
Ian Waddle, Northern Gas Networks regional manager, said: "We would like to thank residents in Withernsea for their patience and cooperation, along with the other agencies and volunteers who have helped provide support since this incident occurred."
Withernsea is about 17 miles from Hull and has a population of more than 6,000. It has a hospital and retirement homes.
Northern Gas Networks said it had "flooded the area" with employees from across the north of England in order to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Vulnerable customers were looked after "as a priority", the company added.
It has now released an online guide to advise residents how to safely turn their gas supply back on.
Homeowners or businesses who require assistance should call 0800 040 7766. followed by option 5.
Anyone who smells gas should call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
Inverness CT's Lewis Horner has also been charged with allegedly placing 353 football bets, including three accumulators involving his side.
The SFA charges against McClelland date back to July 2011 up to 1 May 2017, and four of the bets were placed on Annan to lose.
He has until next Tuesday to respond.
Annan posted a statement on the club website, which stated: "Annan Athletic Football Club recognise the complaint that has been raised by the Scottish Football Association (SFA) and the club will co-operate fully with the enquiry (sic). In the interim, the club will offer its support to the chairman until the matter is resolved."
Horner's charges also range from July 2011 to 1 May 2017. The midfielder was at Hibernian and then on loan at East Stirlingshire when 12 of the bets were placed between July 2011 and June 2012.
In a statement, the Premiership club said: "Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC are aware that Lewis Horner has been served with a Scottish Football Association Notice of Complaint in relation to match betting.
"Upon speaking to Lewis he informed us that he had previously suffered from problems with gambling; for which he had sought professional help.
"Lewis regrets that, having previously received counselling with regard to his addiction, he did not ask for further help sooner. He is very contrite and is extremely embarrassed to have brought this upon both himself and the club.
"Whilst it is disappointing, he has fully co-operated with the club in this matter and we will offer him all the support possible in dealing with this.
"The matter is still under review and, until such time as that is complete, neither the club or player will be making any further comment."
Mr McClelland has been approached for comment.
Ms Cooper gained 18,832 votes, increasing her majority from 3,244 to 6,373.
Conservative candidate Paul White came second with 12,479 votes.
Burnley's Liberal Democrat stalwart Gordon Birtwistle lost out for a second time, after being defeated by Ms Cooper in 2015. He gained 6,046 votes. The turnout was 62.3%.
Ms Cooper said: "I'm absolutely thrilled and hugely honoured. My majority has increased twofold. That is amazing.
"Hopefully I've proved to [the people of Burnley] I'm committed to standing up for them and being a strong voice for them in Westminster... I also know that people have liked the Labour manifesto, a strong and powerful manifesto, and people have wanted to back that."
The Conservatives failed to gain its target seats of Blackpool South, Lancaster and Fleetwood, Hyndburn or Chorley. They were all held by Labour.
Labour targeted seats in Blackpool North and Cleveleys, Pendle, South Ribble, Rossendale and Darwen and Morecambe and Lunesdale but the Conservatives held these seats.
In Lancashire, not a single seat has changed hands following the 2015 election result.

Gerard John Mulligan, 44, from Lisburn, is accused of killing his father, Gerald Mulligan.
The victim's body was discovered in the vehicle in Limehurst Way on Monday.
A detective told the court that the accused "does admit to striking in some way his father with a breeze block, whether that was intentional or not".
Mr Mulligan was arrested shortly after his father's body was found.
Lisburn Magistrates' Court heard that after the pensioner's death, the accused took drugs and called his partner.
A detective said he told the woman: "I've murdered my dad... and he's in the boot of the (Vauxhall) Tigra."
Mr Mulligan applied for bail but it was refused.
He is due to appear in court again on 24 October.
The Airbus A321, operated by the Russian airline Kogalymavia, took off from Sharm el-Sheikh airport at 05:58 (03:58 GMT) on 31 October.
At 06:14 Egyptian time (04:14 GMT), the plane failed to make scheduled contact with air traffic control based in Larnaca, Cyprus.
The plane disappeared from radar screens six minutes later while flying over central Sinai. Egyptian authorities said no SOS calls were received by air traffic controllers.
Russia's Interfax news agency cited a source in Cairo as saying "uncharacteristic" sounds were picked up by the cockpit voice recorder before the plane disappeared from radar screens. "The recordings suggest that an emergency situation occurred on board unexpectedly and took the crew by surprise," the source said.
Data released by the flight tracking website Flightradar24 showed that just before the radar signal was lost, the aircraft reached an altitude of more than 33,000ft (10,060m), then started to descend with a vertical speed of about 6,000ft a minute. The plane's forward speed meanwhile dropped to around 170km/h (105mph), slower than the speed necessary to continue safe flight.
Egyptian military aircraft subsequently located the wreckage of the plane in the Hasana area, 95km (59 miles) south of the Mediterranean coastal town of el-Arish.
Russian officials said the wreckage was scattered across a 20 sq km (7.7-sq mile) area, meaning that the plane broke up in mid-air before falling to earth.
Russia said on 17 November that a "terror act" was responsible for the crash and that "traces of foreign explosives" were found on debris of the Airbus.
UK security service investigators say they suspect someone with access to the aircraft's baggage compartment inserted an explosive device inside or on top of the luggage just before the plane took off.
A US official told AP on 4 November that US intelligence agencies also had preliminary evidence that suggested a bomb planted by the local affiliate of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS) brought down the plane.
Militants from that affiliate, known as Sinai Province, said they brought down the plane shortly after it crashed, with a spokesman claiming this was "in response to Russian air strikes that killed hundreds of Muslims on Syrian land". But he did not provide evidence, asserting: "We are not obliged to disclose the mechanism of its demise."
Egyptian officials have said it is too early to draw conclusions on the cause. Both of the plane's "black boxes" have been recovered as part of the investigation.
Sinai plane crash: Four theories
Could Islamic State have bombed Flight 9268?
Egypt is leading the investigation, with the help of Russian and other international experts.
Air accident investigators from France - home of Airbus, which manufactured the plane - are also involved.
As the plane was registered in Ireland - the home of the company that leased the aircraft to Kogalymavia - a team of Irish investigators have also travelled to Egypt.
German experts are also involved because the plane was assembled in Germany in 1997, and its flight recorders were made there.
The plane was carrying 224 people in total, including 219 Russian citizens, four Ukrainians and one Belarus national. Of the 217 passengers, 17 were children. Most of the passengers were tourists.
Many of the victims were members of the same families. A large number of them shared the same last name, and it appears that in some cases three generations of the same family perished in what is believed to be the worst air disaster involving a Russian plane.
Sinai plane crash: The victims
The twin-engine A321 has a range of up to 7,400km (4,000 nautical miles). It can accommodate up to 220 passengers.
The plane which crashed was 18 years old, making it one of the oldest A321s in service. It had flown for 56,000 hours over nearly 21,000 flights, according to Airbus.
It was produced in May 1997 and delivered to the Lebanese carrier Middle East Airlines. It changed hands eight times before being leased in 2012 to Kogalymavia, an airline based in western Siberia that also operates under the name Metrojet.
The plane was registered in Ireland and leased to Kogalymavia by Willmington Trust SP Services (Dublin) Ltd. According to the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), it passed an annual airworthiness certificate in March 2015.
However, the plane had been damaged in 2001, when it was operated by Middle East Airlines, suffering a tail strike on a Cairo runway.
Kogalymavia has said that the damage was fully repaired and would not have affected the plane.
The plane's engines had also been checked on 26 October, Kogalymavia said, and it underwent a major maintenance inspection and overhaul in Turkey in March 2014.
The A321 has a generally good safety record. According to a study by aircraft manufacturer Boeing of crashes between 1959 and 2014, there were 22 incidents in which a plane from the A321 family was damaged beyond repair - known in the industry as a "hull loss".
More than 200 objections have been lodged against Creag Riabhach wind farm near Altnahara.
Highland Council officers have recommended that the north planning applications committee approve the project.
Altnaharra Estate is working with a private local company on the scheme.
The developers have said Bettyhill, Strathnaver and Altnaharra, Durness, Tongue, and Kinlochbervie community councils support the project.
The Scottish government has sought Highland councillors' views on the development before taking a decision on the planning application.
The 34-year-old, who tested positive for steroids in 2013, pulled out of the US Push Championships, a key part of qualifying for the team.
"It was decided that it was in Gay's best interest to focus on learning and to watch," said a Team USA spokesman.
Gay's Olympic team-mate Ryan Bailey won his category to close on a team spot.
Bailey was part of the United States 4x100m relay team that were stripped of their Olympic silver medal from London 2012 because of Gay's positive test.
Bailey, 27, said in August he was "not over" the quartet's disqualification and admitted there is "still some tension" between him and Gay.
Bailey also won August's preliminary Push Championships on dry land in Lake Placid, New York, but Wednesday's event was his first attempt on ice.
He said: "It's a lot faster on ice. It wasn't too much different at the start, but once it hit the crest and started going downhill the sled picks up speed really fast. I tried to think to myself, 'Run faster, run faster.'
"I knew it would be tough, but after the first few pushes I thought, 'alright, I might have a good shot'. To actually win the first year, it's a pretty good feeling."
Gay, who has competed at the last three Olympics, is the joint second fastest 100m sprinter in history.
Only three-time Olympic champion and world record holder Usain Bolt has run quicker than Gay's 9.69 seconds - a time matched by Bolt's fellow Jamaican Yohan Blake.
At the Rio Games Gay was part of the US team that finished third in the 4x100m relay, only to be disqualified for an illegal baton exchange. Bailey failed to qualify for the team.
Legendary 400m hurdler Edwin Moses and Lauryn Williams, the first American woman to win a medal at both the summer and winter Games, have also tried to move into bobsleigh after an athletics career.
Juan Mata got the decisive goal for United when he stabbed in from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's flick, but Rostov threatened to take the game to extra time and Sergio Romero made two good saves late on.
The United goalkeeper first kept out Sardar Azmoun's flicked header before thumping away Christian Noboa's free-kick.
It was a largely frustrating night for United, who dominated for large periods without really threatening and also lost midfielder Paul Pogba to a hamstring injury.
Their best chances before the goal came in the first half, when Henrikh Mkhitaryan shot wide when one-on-one and Ibrahimovic twice hit the post.
United will find out on Friday who they will play in the quarter-finals, with the draw taking place at 12:00 GMT.
The Europa League is the only major trophy that has so far eluded United, but winning the competition is not just about collecting another piece of silverware.
With a guaranteed place in next season's Champions League for the winners, United, who are sixth in the Premier League, would not have to rely solely on finishing in the top four.
Mourinho showed he was in no mood to take any chances by naming a strong side against Rostov, with Ibrahimovic - who is serving a three-match domestic ban - reinstated.
The Swedish striker, absent from Monday's 1-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Chelsea, looked fresh and hungry from the outset, hitting the post from close range early on before cracking another effort against the upright before the break.
Those chances aside, United struggled to find a way through a packed Rostov defence and it looked as though they would have to rely on the goal they scored in Russia to scrape into the quarter-finals.
An inventive bit of skill by Ibrahimovic helped make the breakthrough in the end, but United know they will need to improve if they are to go all the way in the competition, with better sides than Rostov waiting.
It was a victory that came at a cost for Mourinho as he lost Pogba and Daley Blind to injury.
Midfielder Pogba has come in for criticism recently, but Mourinho clearly sees the £89m midfielder as a crucial part of his side.
The France international was making his 41st appearance of the season for United but has rarely dominated a game, and he was largely a peripheral figure here before pulling up with an apparent hamstring injury early in the second half. He will miss Sunday's Premier League game at Middlesbrough.
Mourinho was then forced into another change, and a reshuffle at the back, when defender Blind went off midway through the half with suspected concussion.
With a congested fixture list caused by United battling for Europa League success and a place in the Premier League top four, Mourinho will hope neither player is out for an extended period.
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, speaking to BT Sport: "We were afraid of extra time. It was a difficult game.
"We have lots of enemies. Normally the enemies should be Rostov but we have a lot of enemies. It's difficult to play Monday with 10 men, it's difficult to play now, it's difficult to play 12 o'clock on Sunday. We have a lot of enemies.
"A lot of people might say we should have scored more goals. But a lot of things are going against us. The boys are amazing boys. We will probably lose the game on Sunday. Fatigue has a price.
"I will remember forever when I spoke to the Uefa delegate in Rostov. He told me if any of our players gets injured, the insurance paid. Whoever decided the Monday and Sunday games probably thinks the same way."
United are next in action when they travel to Middlesbrough in the Premier League on Sunday (12:00 GMT).

Barnes, 29, announced on Friday that he had decided to switch to the professional ranks.
Matthew Macklin's MGM group revealed on Monday that it had agreed a management deal with the Northern Irishman.
"After the Olympics there was many offers on the table but being part of Team MGM was the natural choice," said the Belfast fighter.
"I honestly believe I have the ideal team to guide me to world title opportunities.
"I've enjoyed every minute of my time as an amateur and my achievements are something I am very proud of.
"Representing Ireland has always been my ambition and now I hope to emulate that success as a professional," added Barnes, who has indicated that he will move up to flyweight in the pro ranks after struggling with the light-flyweight limit during the final years of his amateur career.

Barnes lost to Samuel Carmona in his opening bout at last month's Olympics in Rio and blamed weight problems for the surprise defeat.
His first professional bout could be in his native Belfast before Christmas although that has yet to be confirmed.
MGM described Barnes as "a special talent".
"We anticipate Paddy will feature prominently on the world stage and we look forward to many great nights for Irish boxing moving forward," added the MGM statement.
Barnes' fellow Belfast man, Commonwealth super-flyweight champion Jamie Conlan, is already in the MGM stable.
Conlan is the brother of Michael Conlan, who is also set to join the professional ranks following the Olympics.
In addition to his two Olympic achievements, Barnes won the European Amateur title and two Commonwealth Games gold medals.
Birmingham-born Macklin, whose parents are Irish, made three unsuccessful attempts to win the world middleweight title after winning the British and European belts.
Macklin ended his boxing career earlier this year two days short of his 34th birthday.
The All Blacks hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series after last weekend's 36-22 win in Wellington.
World Cup-winning coach Hansen wants improvements in Dunedin on Saturday.
"It's all about keeping the foot on the throat for longer periods and not allowing them to escape from the pressure we are trying to impose on them," said former Wales coach Hansen.
"We'll be looking for an overall improvement right across the park in Dunedin.
"I'm pretty happy with where we are, but I want our set-piece to get even better.
"I thought the scrum was great in Wellington and our line-out put pressure on the Welsh meant we got two turn-over line-outs - and we scored from them both."
Fly-half Aaron Cruden has been cleared to play after being taken off in Wellington with suspected neck damage.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Beauden Barrett, Cruden's replacement, played a starring role in the second Test, but his journey to Dunedin with the All Blacks was delayed by a flu bug.
New Zealand have not lost in 40 games on home soil, 22 of them under Hansen.
The All Blacks lost experienced stars Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith to retirement or European clubs after the 2015 World Cup.
Hansen says the All Blacks midfield remains a work in progress in the absence of Carter, Nonu and Smith.
"We haven't filled all the gaps yet - it's too early to say that after only two Tests - and we are still working away quietly at the midfield," said Hansen.
"We have got to fit in Sonny Bill Williams when he comes back from the sevens and there may be some other sevens players who might fit it when they return as well."
Wales have not beaten New Zealand in 28 attempts since 1953 and have never enjoyed an away victory against them.
"As we go through this series, I think you will see us continually improve," said Hansen.
"We were pretty much in control in the first half last weekend and then in the last 15 minutes Wales threw the kitchen sink at us.
"Everyone talks about how much they've got left in the tank for their last game of the year, but it is no different for us when we got to the northern hemisphere in the autumn. I don't hear that being used an excuse for us.
"Wales will believe they still have plenty in the tank.
"We got our tries off turnover ball last weekend, so if they can stop that then they will believe they can win in Dunedin, and that's great for the series."
LinksAir launched the service from the Welsh government-owned Cardiff Airport in April in the hope of attracting business passengers.
But it has now said the route is "not likely to deliver profitability in the very short term" and passengers booked on future flights would be refunded.
Cardiff Airport said it was disappointed by the decision.
LinksAir runs daily Welsh government-subsidised flights from Anglesey to Cardiff and launched the Norwich service in between flights because the plane was sitting dormant for much of the day.
Announcing its cancellation, LinksAir said: "As part of the requirements of operating the Welsh government PSO service to Anglesey twice daily from Cardiff, any additional commercial service must operate autonomous from the PSO service and cover all its operating costs from the outset.
"In the two months since the service commenced, the service was not likely to deliver profitability in the very short term."
It added the move would have no impact on the Cardiff to Anglesey flights.
Debra Barber, managing director at Cardiff Airport, said: "LinksAir's decision to terminate its Cardiff-Norwich service was very disappointing.
"For a new route we feel the load factors were improving in line with expectations and beginning to pick up traction as awareness grew.
"The Anglesey/Ynys Môn service continues to perform very well and remains an important link for business and leisure passengers."
The Welsh Conservatives' Shadow Transport Minister William Graham said it was a "rather unsettling announcement" coming so soon after the route was launched.
"It was only last week that reports confirmed that passenger numbers at Cardiff had dipped below one million, and this news does little to restore shaky confidence in the airport. ," he said.
Figures up to the 31 December 2016 show 83.8% of patients started treatment within 18 weeks - a fall from 87.1% in December 2015.
The Scottish government's waiting time target is for 90% of patients to start treatment within that timeframe.
Opposition parties have criticised the government for the missed targets.
But the Scottish government said it was investing in long-term reform of the NHS with additional funding for outpatient services, improving specialist surgery and treatment, and allowing people to be cared for in the community for longer.
There has been a steady decline since 2011 and the 90% target has not been met since June 2014.
The figures also show a decline in the number of patients getting new outpatient appointments within 12 weeks.
The Scottish Conservatives' health spokesman Donald Cameron said: "This is all on the SNP's watch and it has to explain the disastrous slump in these crucial waiting times, given it's been running the NHS for almost a decade."
Scottish Labour said the SNP was "sleepwalking into an NHS crisis".
But the Scottish government said it was investing in long-term reform of the NHS with additional funding for outpatient services, improving specialist surgery and treatment, and allowing people to be cared for in the community for longer.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "We're investing substantially in social care and community care, with a view to keeping people healthy at home for as long as possible.
"This will, in time, help prevent the need for many people to go to hospital.
"These changes won't happen overnight but they are part of a clear, long-term strategy of matching increased investment in our NHS with reform to ensure our health service is providing care to the people of Scotland long into the future."
It will be displayed for the first time in The Tomb: Ancient Egyptian Burial exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland on 31 March.
The shroud, which dates to about 9BC, was found during "an in-depth assessment" of Egyptian collections.
A new, permanent ancient Egypt gallery will open in 2018/19.
Dr Margaret Maitland, senior curator of ancient Mediterranean collections, found the folded shroud wrapped in brown parcel paper, with a note written by a past curator in a World War Two service envelope identifying the contents as having come from an ancient Egyptian tomb.
The package had been stored since the mid-1940s.
Conservators gently humidified it so that the fibres became less dry and brittle.
This allowed them to carefully unfold the shroud, a process which took almost 24 hours.
A hieroglyphic inscription on the shroud revealed the identity of the owner to be the previously unknown son of the Roman-era high-official Montsuef and his wife Tanuat.
Dr Maitland said: "To discover an object of this importance in our collections, and in such good condition, is a curator's dream.
"Before we were able to unfold the textile, tantalising glimpses of colourful painted details suggested that it might be a mummy shroud, but none of us could have imagined the remarkable figure that would greet us when we were finally able to unroll it.
"The shroud is a very rare object in superb condition and is executed in a highly-unusual artistic style, suggestive of Roman period Egyptian art, yet still very distinctive."
In ancient Egypt, following mummification a shroud was often wrapped around the body before it was put in a coffin.
In Roman-era Egypt, shrouds became increasingly important as the use of coffins became rarer.
Experts said the full-length, painted linen shroud is unique.
It shows the deceased depicted as the god Osiris.
Curators said because of its owner's direct relationship to Montsuef and Tanuat, whose deaths were recorded in 9BC, it is possible to date the shroud.
The shroud comes from a Roman-era burial in a tomb originally built about 1290BC opposite the great city of Thebes (modern-day Luxor).
First built for a chief of police and his wife, it was looted and reused several times before being sealed in the early 1st Century AD.
It was undisturbed until its excavation in the 19th Century.
The shroud is one of a number of objects from this tomb which are in National Museums Scotland's collections.
The Tomb: Ancient Egyptian Burial, which is sponsored by Shepherd and Wedderburn, will tell the story of this tomb across 1,000 years of use.

The trip was to have formed part of the preparations for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, which begins in October.
Australia-based head coach Wayne Bennett, 66, was keen on the camp as it would have given him extra time to work with his Super League-based players.
He will now meet up with the squad again for a Test against Samoa in May.
A number of head coaches, including Keiron Cunningham of St Helens and Warrington's Tony Smith expressed concerns about the timing of the camp, particularly given the late end to the season experienced by players involved in the autumn's Four Nations tournament.
An England Rugby League statement said: "The England coaching staff and RFL have reflected on all views and concluded the plans now in place would not deliver what was initially expected."
Bennett, who spends the large majority of his time coaching club side Brisbane Broncos in Australia's National Rugby League, was enthusiastic about a pre-season camp as it would have provided additional opportunity to observe his players at close hand.
The coaching icon relies on his England-based personnel - Widnes head coach Denis Betts, ex-Huddersfield head coach Paul Anderson and former St Helens back-rower Paul Sculthorpe - for regular feedback.
Bennett's first experience as England's part-time head coach brought wins against France and Scotland, but also defeats by New Zealand and Australia in the key Four Nations games.
England face France, Lebanon and co-hosts Australia in their World Cup group.
The tight-head, 30, has made six appearances for his country, spending the bulk of his domestic career in New Zealand provincial rugby.
He featured in the Highlanders' June win over the British and Irish Lions.
The Scotstoun club are yet to confirm the signing or contract details of what will be new head coach Dave Rennie's eighth summer recruit.
Halanukonuka follows Huw Jones, Oli Kebble and Brandon Thomson from South Africa's Stormers, Callum Gibbins and Lelia Masaga from New Zealand's Hurricanes and Chiefs respectively, Adam Hastings from Bath and Samuela Vunisa from Saracens.
Meanwhile, Rennie's Super Rugby season will continue for at least one more week as his Chiefs side progressed to the semi-final stages.
With the Hurricanes also reaching the last four, flanker Gibbins will also be delayed further in joining his new club.
The Super Rugby final will be played on 5 August.
Charlotte Moore, the BBC's director of content, said the three-series order "underlines our commitment to Britain's most popular drama series."
Three Christmas specials have also been commissioned.
A sixth series of the show, about nuns and midwives working in London's East End, has already been announced and will air in early 2017.
The drama, created by Heidi Thomas and inspired by the memoirs of former nurse Jennifer Worth, was first shown on BBC One in 2012.
A Christmas special, partly set at a missionary hospital in South Africa, will be broadcast next month.
The three new series will take the characters further into the 1960s - a time when Britain, according to Thomas, was "fizzing with change and challenge".
"There is so much rich material - medical, social and emotional - to be explored," she said in a statement.
"We have now delivered well over 100 babies on screen, and like those babies the stories keep on coming."

A spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor identified the suspect only by his first name, Dylan.
The boy had just turned 16, Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre told AP, without giving further details.
The incident took place at Saint-Leu church in Les Halles neighbourhood.
The French government said they would be seeking financial compensation against "perpetrators of these acts" for wasting the time and money of security services and scaring the public unnecessarily.
"There is no reason that taxpayers should be liable to an unnecessary expenditure of public funds," Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.
He added that those responsible must be punished, given the current "very high terrorist threat".
A special app-based public alert system created after the deadly attacks in Paris last year had also been activated.
Police had dispatched a helicopter and barricaded the area around the church following a distress call.
But it turned out to be a false alarm, the interior ministry later said.
French magazine, Obs reported (in French) that it had made contact with two teenage hackers who boasted online after staging the hoax, commonly referred to as "swatting" - when hoaxers make anonymous threats to trigger a response from police and SWAT teams.
The hackers, 16 and 17, said they just wanted to create a buzz and had decided to use a church as their location in order to make an impact similar to recent terrorist attack in a northern French church where a priest was killed.
The magazine also quoted the two as saying they were admirers of the French-Israeli hacker, Gregory Chelli, alias, Ulcan.
France has suffered a series of deadly attacks in recent years claimed by so-called Islamic State that have left dozens dead.
The 33-year-old joins England Test captain Alastair Cook in the squad, which was announced last week.
The MCC will take part in the T20 tournament with Lancashire, Sussex and Yorkshire in Abu Dhabi on 20 March.
Yuvraj will not play in the four-day day-night game against county champions Yorkshire, starting on 22 March.
He has not played for India since making 11 in India's six-wicket defeat by Sri Lanka in last April's World T20 final, but struck 132 off 134 balls against the MCC for a Rest of the World XI in the Bicentenary match at Lord's last summer.
MCC squad: Alastair Cook (Essex), Nick Compton (Middlesex, capt), Michael Carberry (Hampshire), James Hildreth (Somerset), Zafar Ansari (Surrey), Daryl Mitchell (Worcestershire), Sam Billings (Kent), Matt Dunn (Surrey), Chris Rushworth (Durham), Graham Onions (Durham), Adam Riley (Kent), Paras Khadka (Nepal - for T20 matches only), Yuvraj Singh (India - for T20 matches only).
The former England U-21 striker was snapped up by the Potters for an undisclosed sum.
The 25-year-old forward has made one substitute appearance this season for the Championship club but was a regular last term - scoring five goals.
The move for the former Cardiff player comes after Stoke failed to secure Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku on loan.
Jerome was born in Huddersfield and played for his home team as a junior before moving via Grimsby Town, Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough to gain a contract at Cardiff, after being recommended by reserve team manager Paul Wilkinson.
Jerome played under Wilkinson in Grimsby's youth system, but after Wilkinson left Blundell Park to take up his position with Cardiff, Jerome was released by replacement Neil Woods - allegedly for being a disruptive influence.
Kosovo's independence is not recognised by all EU countries, but the EU nevertheless views it as a potential candidate for membership.
Croatia and Turkey started accession talks on 3 October 2005. Croatia joined on 1 July 2013. Turkey could complete negotiations in 10-15 years, but progress has been very slow, as the EU is divided over whether Turkey should join at all.
The other Balkan countries have been told they can join the EU one day, if they meet the criteria. These include democracy, the rule of law, a market economy and adherence to the EU's goals of political and economic union.

Albania is not expected to join the EU until 2020 at the earliest. It got candidate status in June 2014 - recognition of its progress in reforming institutions to meet EU standards.
But the EU urged Albania to do more to tackle corruption and organised crime, especially crime relating to immigration and human trafficking, and drugs.
Since 15 December 2010 Albanians with biometric passports have been able to travel visa-free to the Schengen zone, which includes most EU countries.
Border controls are minimal under the Schengen accord, but the EU will keep a close watch on the flow of visitors from the Western Balkans.
The EU and Albania concluded a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA), seen as the first step towards membership, in June 2006.
The negotiations took three-and-a-half years - three times longer than they took in Croatia's and Macedonia's case.

Bosnia-Hercegovina has not yet formally applied for EU membership.
More than a decade after the 1992-5 war, it signed a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU in June 2008. The EU was satisfied with progress in four key areas - police reform, co-operation with the international war crimes tribunal, public broadcasting and public administration reform.
Visa-free travel to the Schengen zone began in mid-December 2010 for Bosnians with biometric passports.
But in February 2014 public grievances with local politicians and the country's economic stagnation exploded, with attacks on government buildings.
The EU maintains a peacekeeping force and a police mission in Bosnia-Hercegovina, where most Serbs live in the autonomous Republika Srpska. The Bosniak-Croat federation and Republika Srpska together form Bosnia-Hercegovina.
Bosnia's ethnic quarrels remain a worry for the EU, along with corruption and organised crime.
The Commission says Bosnia is still plagued by an "unstable political climate" and ethnic divisions.
In December 2011 Bosnia's Muslim, Croat and Serb leaders agreed on the formation of a central government, ending 14 months of political deadlock.
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Bosnia's electoral laws discriminate against Jews and Roma (Gypsies), because only Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs are allowed to run for high office.

Croatia is the second ex-Yugoslav country after Slovenia to join. It is also the first new EU member state since Bulgaria and Romania joined in 2007.
Croatia's accession was widely seen as a strong signal of EU commitment to a region that was ravaged by war in the 1990s. Some see it as a triumph for EU "soft power", salvaging the EU's reputation after Europe's failure to prevent atrocities in the Balkan wars.
Even after they had joined in 2007 Bulgaria and Romania fell short of EU standards, notably in their efforts to root out corruption and political interference. So the requirements for Croatia were particularly strict.
The welcome for Croatia was somewhat muted, as surveys suggested that "enlargement fatigue" and anxiety about migrant workers were widespread in Europe.
Judicial reform was among the toughest of the 33 negotiating areas, or "chapters". EU Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding said that "in one year they have completely reformed their judiciary system and have made it irreversible".
The highest-profile target in Croatia's crackdown on corruption was former Prime Minister Ivo Sanader. A Croatian court sentenced him to 10 years in prison for taking bribes, in November 2012. He had been arrested in Austria and extradited to Croatia. He denied wrongdoing.
He was convicted of taking millions of dollars in bribes from a Hungarian energy company and an Austrian bank.
Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor replaced four ministers in the government she inherited from Mr Sanader.
A European Commission report in March 2011 said Croatia must make appointments of judges and state prosecutors more transparent, clear court backlogs, pursue high-level corruption investigations more thoroughly and do more to help disadvantaged minorities.
A border dispute with neighbouring Slovenia - an EU member - held up Croatia's accession talks until early September 2009, when Slovenia agreed to lift its veto over the talks.
Back in 2005 accession talks were delayed by seven months as Croatia struggled to convince the EU it was doing its best to find war crimes suspect Gen Ante Gotovina. He was arrested in the Canary Islands in December 2005.
On 15 April 2011 the war crimes tribunal in The Hague sentenced Gen Gotovina and another wartime Croat general, Mladen Markac, to 24 and 18 years in jail, respectively. They were found guilty of atrocities against Serbs in 1995. There was widespread anger in Croatia over the sentences.
But on 16 November 2012 both generals were released after appeals judges overturned their sentences. They were greeted as heroes on their return to Zagreb.

Croatia: From isolation to EU membership

The EU has opened accession talks with Iceland. In October 2012 the EU Commission reported that 14 of the 33 areas of negotiation - called "chapters" - had been opened. Of those, eight have been provisionally closed - in other words, Iceland has met the criteria.
But there is now a big question mark over Iceland's bid to join.
A new centre-right coalition government took office in May 2013 and immediately announced that a referendum would be held on EU membership before any further accession negotiations.
Iceland's independence from continental Europe has provided fertile ground for Eurosceptics, and recent opinion polls suggest a strong "no" camp. The North Atlantic island, home to just 320,000 people, will not join unless Icelanders support it in a referendum.
Iceland is in dispute with the EU over mackerel fishing. Reykjavik objects to the EU and Norway taking more than 90% of the total allowable catch recommended by scientists. Iceland increased its 2011 quota unilaterally by nearly 17,000 tonnes.
Another sensitive area is financial reform, with Iceland still reeling from the collapse of its major banks in 2008.
In two referendums Icelanders have rejected compensation deals struck by their government with the UK and the Netherlands over savings lost by investors in the collapsed Icesave online bank.
The UK and Dutch governments want Iceland to reimburse the estimated 4bn euros (£3.4bn; $5.3bn) that they paid as compensation to Icesave investors.
According to Iceland's President, Olafur Ragnar Grimsson, assets from the collapsed bank Landsbanki will cover what is owed.
The European Commission says Iceland is already deeply integrated with the EU - it applies about two-thirds of EU laws - so it has less distance to cover than other applicants. But the EU is not offering any "shortcut".
Iceland is in the Schengen zone, meaning its people enjoy passport-free travel to many European countries. Iceland also applies many of the EU's single market rules.
The Icelandic krona has plummeted in value since the financial crash, but many Icelanders may still prefer to keep it. The fallout from Europe's debt crisis means the euro has lost some of its lustre.
Some Icelanders fear the impact of EU regulations on their traditional fisheries and whaling.
Icelandic membership would give the EU a more significant role in the Arctic - a region rich in untapped energy and mineral resources.

In the Balkans the breakaway territory of Kosovo is last in the queue to join the EU because the international community remains split over its 2008 declaration of independence.
The ethnic Albanian majority in Kosovo has been striving for international recognition since the 1999 conflict, in which Serb forces, accused of atrocities against civilians, pulled out after heavy Nato bombing.
Many countries have recognised Kosovo. But Serbia is among those that do not - a group that includes Russia, China and five of the 27 EU member states - Spain, Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Cyprus.
For more than a decade the hostility between Belgrade and the Kosovan authorities in Pristina has held up consideration of a Kosovan EU bid. Belgrade supports ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo - about 50,000 people - who refuse to be governed by Pristina.
But a landmark Serbia-Kosovo deal, brokered by the EU on 19 April 2013 after months of arduous negotiations, paves the way for both Serbia and Kosovo to make progress towards EU accession.
Both sides pledged that they would not try to block each other's EU bid.
The deal grants a high degree of autonomy to the Serb-majority areas in Kosovo, and allows them their own ethnic Serb police chief and ethnic Serb appeal court.
EU governments will now open talks with Kosovo aimed at reaching a Stabilisation and Association Agreement - a first step towards EU membership.
The Commission also proposed allowing Kosovo to participate in 22 EU programmes.
In a report the Commission praised Pristina's co-operation with the EU law-and-order mission in Kosovo, called Eulex. It highlighted the smashing of a smuggling ring and other joint investigations into organised crime and corruption.
The report calls for further efforts to tackle human trafficking in Kosovo, and the gangs that smuggle drugs and illegal weapons.
Protection of minority rights and freedom of speech are also significant challenges that Kosovo must meet on the path to EU membership, the Commission says.

The European Commission has recommended that the EU open membership talks with Macedonia.
It says the former Yugoslav republic has made "convincing progress" in police reform, tackling corruption and bolstering human rights.
Since 19 December 2009 Macedonians have not needed visas to visit most EU member states - those in the Schengen zone.
Hopes that accession talks would open in 2008 suffered a blow from election violence in June and a subsequent boycott of parliament by ethnic Albanian opposition parties.
But the June 2011 parliamentary elections were "transparent and well-administered", EU governments said.
A bitter dispute with Greece over Macedonia's name continues to hamper the country's bids to join the EU and Nato.
Macedonia was admitted to the United Nations in 1993 using the temporary name of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (Fyrom).
Greece argues that the name "Macedonia" cannot be monopolised by one country, and that doing so implies a territorial claim over the northern Greek region of the same name.
In a November 2008 interview, Macedonian Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki said "it is important that 125 countries worldwide have recognised Macedonia's constitutional name," and added: "we remain firm on our stance that only the Republic of Greece has a problem with Macedonia's constitutional name".

Candidate status has boosted Montenegro's bid and the EU opened the country's accession talks on 29 June 2012.
The EU says Montenegro must intensify its efforts to consolidate the rule of law, fight organised crime and corruption and protect freedom of expression.
Talks with the EU on a Stability and Association Agreement (SAA) began shortly after the country voted, in May 2006, to end its union with Serbia. The SAA was signed in October 2007.
Montenegro's Prime Minister, Milo Djukanovic, has said he hopes his country will succeed in joining the EU before neighbouring Serbia or Macedonia.
Since 19 December 2009, citizens of Montenegro have not needed visas to visit most EU countries - those in the Schengen zone.

Serbia's progress towards the EU has been sluggish - it is trailing far behind its neighbour Croatia, a bitter enemy in the 1990s Balkan wars.
But EU leaders granted Serbia candidate status at a Brussels summit in March 2012.
Then in June 2013 they decided that EU accession negotiations with Serbia would go ahead, after Belgrade had clinched a landmark deal with Kosovo, allowing for a normalisation of ties. The accession talks will begin by January 2014 at the latest, the EU says.
A Commission report said the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo had shown "political courage and maturity" in tackling difficult issues jointly, as well as a commitment to better relations.
Earlier Belgrade had agreed to allow Kosovo to take part in west Balkan regional meetings, despite refusing to recognise its independence. And the two sides agreed to control their volatile border jointly.
A UN resolution in September 2010, in which Serbia dropped its demand to reopen negotiations on Kosovo's status, signalled Belgrade's willingness to compromise.
Serbia's EU prospects improved after the arrest on 26 May 2011 of Europe's most wanted war crimes suspect, Gen Ratko Mladic. The former Bosnian Serb commander had been on the run for 16 years.
EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele said "a great obstacle on the Serbian road to the European Union has been removed".
Serbia's co-operation with the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague remains a key condition in its accession bid.
In July 2011 the last major indictee wanted in The Hague, former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic, was arrested in northern Serbia and sent to The Hague for trial.
The two figures blamed the most for Bosnian Serb wartime atrocities are now on trial in The Hague - Gen Mladic and Radovan Karadzic, who was arrested in Serbia in 2008.
Serbia is unlikely to join the EU until at least 2020.
Citizens of Serbia and two other former Yugoslav republics - Macedonia and Montenegro - enjoy visa-free travel to the Schengen area, which includes most of the EU. The visa waiver applies to those who hold biometric passports.
Serbia signed a Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU in April 2008, but only in June 2010 did EU foreign ministers agree to put it into effect.

Turkey met the last condition for accession talks in July 2005, when it extended a customs union with the EU to all new member states, including Cyprus.
However, it failed to ratify the customs union and its ports and airports remain closed to Cypriot traffic. The EU responded, in December 2006, by freezing accession talks in eight policy areas.
In May 2012 the EU and Turkey launched a "positive agenda", highlighting areas where they could expand co-operation.
But Cyprus took up the EU's six-month rotating presidency in July 2012 and progress stalled, as Turkey refused to talk to the Cyprus authorities. Tensions remain over the breakaway ethnic Turkish administration in northern Cyprus, which is only recognised by Ankara.
So far only 13 of Turkey's 35 negotiating chapters have been opened, and only one has been closed.
The negotiations have been overshadowed by concerns about freedom of speech and democracy in Turkey, treatment of religious minorities, women's and children's rights, civilian control of the military and the Cyprus tensions.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel was among many European politicians who condemned the conservative ruling AK Party's crackdown on mass street protests in June 2013. Tensions escalated into a diplomatic row between Germany and Turkey.
Police used tear gas and water cannon against demonstrators, who had initially staged a peaceful sit-in to stop a building project at Gezi Park, in the heart of Istanbul.
Some senior politicians in the EU - including Chancellor Merkel - want Turkey to have a partnership deal with the EU, rather than full membership.
Some politicians worry that such a large, mainly Muslim country would change the whole character of the EU, while others point to the young labour force that Turkey could provide for an ageing Europe.
The European Commission has urged Turkey to strengthen democracy and human rights, underlining the need for deeper judicial reform. The Commission's October 2012 report on Turkey criticised various human rights abuses, including the use of anti-terror laws to detain Kurdish rights activists and curb freedom of speech.
Turkey reacted angrily to that criticism, saying the EU had undervalued Ankara's reforms, instead displaying "biased" attitudes.
EU governments praised the "full respect of democratic standards and the rule of law" in Turkey's June 2011 parliamentary elections.
The EU also welcomed the Yes vote in a Turkish referendum in September 2010, which gave the AK Party the go-ahead to change the military-era constitution and bring it more into line with EU norms.
The UK Foreign Office says it expects Turkey to be ready for membership "in a decade or so".

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) believes that pension providers are failing customers.
Its final report into annuities confirms previous recommendations that customers should be told of better value policies available elsewhere.
But one retirement analyst said the pace of change was "drifting along".
The FCA has confirmed plans for:
But Malcolm McLean, consultant at Barnett Waddingham, said the market was clearly in need of change and the reforms were too slow.
"The FCA plans to consider all this further and to run another customer survey as part of a wider review of its rules in the pension and retirement area later in the summer," he said.
"It will probably be another year at least before the remedies kick in, making it eight years since the regulatory probe of the market began."
Adrian Walker, head of retirement planning at Old Mutual Wealth, said: "Consumer understanding of pensions is still low. Any measures to improve this are welcome."
A major overhaul that will allow people to cash in their defined contribution pension pot, rather than buy an annuity, will come into force on 6 April.
Ibrahim Halawa, the son of the most senior Muslim cleric in the Republic of Ireland, was arrested during a siege on the Al-Fath mosque in Cairo in 2013.
Last month, the Irish government said it was concerned after the Dubliner's trial was adjourned for the 14th time.
Wednesday marks the third anniversary of Mr Halawa's arrest.
Now the Bar Human Rights Committee has said he should be returned to Ireland.
Mr Halawa and almost 500 other people have been charged with murder and a range of other serious offences.
The 20-year-old could face a death penalty if he is convicted.
Kirsty Brimelow QC, the chair of the Bar Human Rights Committee, said Egypt's treatment of him "constitutes a serious breach of international law".
She added: "He has been subjected to several years of pre-trial detention, violently assaulted by the Egyptian police and denied access to a lawyer or a fair trial.
"During part of this period, Mr Halawa was a child.
"[His] urgent release is required."
The Egyptian government has rejected claims by the United Nations of ill-treatment of Mr Halawa during his time in prison.
Mr Halawa was 17 when he was arrested along with three of his sisters in the Egyptian capital.
They said they were on holiday at the time and sought refuge in the Al-Fath mosque to escape from violence outside.
The sisters were later released on bail, but the family has had to deny claims that Mr Halawa is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organisation.
The Eyptian government has declared it a terrorist group, a claim that the organisation rejects.
The 25-year-old made 17 appearances for the Rhinos last season as they completed the treble.
The Germany international said: "Last season was an incredible season for the club and everyone is excited about the future.
"I am pleased to have my future sorted now and can look forward to the next three years with confidence."
The Last Ship, a story of unemployed shipbuilders who take over a factory to build a new vessel, opened on 26 October to mixed reviews.
Last month, Sting stepped in to replace leading man Jimmy Nail in a bid to revive flagging ticket sales.
His appearance had a "galvanizing impact", but producers felt attendance would drop when he left, especially during the slow winter period.
News of the closure came after Broadway theatres reported a record-breaking year for attendance and box-office takings in 2014.
A total of 13.1 million people went to see shows in the heart of New York last year, bringing in $1.36bn (£0.89bn).
The Broadway League, which represents producers and theatre owners, said attendance was up 13 percent and box-office takings up 14 percent.
The week ending Sunday 28 December was the biggest Christmas week in history for the theatre district - but the best-attended and highest-grossing period overall was New Year week.
Long-running shows Wicked, The Lion King and The Book of Mormon were among the top-grossing shows, with each pulling in more than $2.2 million (£1.45 million) for the New Year week.
Nearly 20 new shows are scheduled to open on Broadway in 2015, including a musical version of the 2003 Jack Black film School of Rock.
It is written by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Bana and her little brother have been pictured sitting on Mr Erdogan's knee in the presidential complex in Ankara.
President Erdogan sent a special representative to Syria to collect Bana and her family after they fled east Aleppo, the BBC has been told.
Bana's plight came to light after she joined Twitter in September.
The account captured everything from the death of her friends to her attempts to live a normal life.
Along the way, she has picked up more than 325,000 followers, including JK Rowling, who sent her an electronic copy of Harry Potter to read.
On Wednesday, Bana tweeted a picture of herself and Mr Erdogan, writing she was "very happy" to meet the president, while in a short video she is heard saying: "Thank-you for supporting the children of Aleppo, and helping us to get out from war."
Bana's mother, Fatemah, who runs the Twitter account, decided to start it to show "how much kids are suffering from bombs and everything".
In recent weeks, the appeals for help - from both Bana and her mother - have become more frequent, as forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad began to close in around the rebel-held districts, which were being bombed from above by Syrian and Russian planes.
After government forces surrounded the city, the family escaped under an evacuation programme.
But they did not stay long in Syria. Within hours of Bana, her mother, father and two little brothers arriving in the rebel-held countryside to the west of Aleppo, they had been flown by helicopter to Turkey.
Some had questioned whether the Twitter account was a publicity stunt and claimed Bana actually lived in Turkey already.
However, an investigation by citizen journalism site Bellingcat deduced she was tweeting from inside rebel-held Aleppo.
It is unclear whether the family are to stay in Turkey, where they would join almost 2.8 million Syrian refugees already living in the country.
People can be heard singing about lynching black people, saying they would not be allowed in the fraternity.
The president of the university, David Boren, says that he is "investigating".
But the head of the fraternity the students are said to have belonged to confirmed they were Oklahoma students and their chapter had been shut down.
"Sigma Alpha Epsilon's national headquarters has closed its Oklahoma Kappa chapter at the University of Oklahoma following the discovery of an inappropriate video," a statement on the fraternity's website says.
"We apologise for the unacceptable and racist behaviour of the individuals in the video, and we are disgusted that any member would act in such a way."
One of the chants in the videos also references lynching.
Brad Cohen, the fraternity's national president, says: "I was not only shocked and disappointed but disgusted by the outright display of racism displayed in the video."
In a statement on their Twitter account, Sigma Alpha Epsilon at the nearby Oklahoma State University says: "The Oklahoma State chapter of SAE does not condone racist behaviour of any kind and is not associated with the individuals in the video."
They also address a picture showing a Confederate flag hanging in the fraternity's house.
"SAE doesn't endorse the Confederate flag nationally nor do we endorse it as a chapter. The flag has never been a symbol of our fraternity," they say.
The flag, which dates from about 150 years ago in the time of the Confederate States of America before and during America's Civil War, is seen by some people, especially in the southern states, as being representative of their history.
Others see it as representing slavery and racism, especially because of its use by groups such as the Ku Klux Klan.
In an update on Twitter, Boren says that "such behaviour will not be tolerated" and it is "reprehensible and contrary to all of our values".
The video was first shared online by Unheard, a black student group at University of Oklahoma. How they got it, or who made the video, isn't known.

The Lib Dems also pledged to keep defence spending at the Nato benchmark of 2% of national income.
Leader Tim Farron said he believed in a "credible" armed forces.
Labour and the Conservatives have both pledged to stick to the 2% Nato spending target.
The Lib Dems have also promised a new "careers for heroes" scheme to pay for the full cost of further and higher education for armed forces personnel who had served for 12 or more years.
"A recent independent report was a damning indictment of armed forces recruitment and retention, with some units facing 14% shortfalls in manpower," said Mr Farron.
"Our Army, Navy and Airforce deserve the best and the brightest serving in them, and we must not stand by as those who have served face disadvantages."
On Sunday's Andrew Marr Show Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said the government could not force people to join the Army.
"We don't have conscription in this country, the Army has to compete with other sectors in the economy," he said.
The Conservatives have broken their 2015 pledge to not let the size of the army fall below 82,000 - it currently stands at 78,500.

The branches to close are in Antrim, Castlereagh, Draperstown, Belleek, Castlederg, Newtownards, Maghera and Donegall Square South, Belfast.
Bank of Ireland closed nine other Northern Ireland branches in January 2013.
The bank said there would be no compulsory redundancies and staff would have the opportunity for redeployment.
It said the branches did not do sufficient business to sustain them in the long-term.
The bank will have 28 branches in Northern Ireland after the closures.
It is understood the closure of the Bank of Ireland branch in Belleek, County Fermanagh, will mean there is no longer any bank in the village.
Bridie Gormley, chairperson of Belleek Chamber of Commerce, said the news had come as a "huge shock" and would mean a "round trip" of up to two and a half hours for those people who wanted to bank at a branch.
"That's not feasible and the people of Belleek will not sit back and take this easily," she said. We will fight it to the bitter end
"We need a bank in this town. It's a service we cannot do without."
John Campbell, BBC News NI business editor
All of Northern Ireland's 'big four' banks have been closing branches in response to customers moving online and to cut costs.
Branches are an increasingly unloved part of retail banking - at least among the people who run banks.
They have chunky fixed costs, such as rent and rates, and the number of customers using them has tumbled as more banking moves online.
One senior banker told me he sees the future of branches as being a bit like car show rooms.
In other words there won't be many of them and the typical customer will venture into them only once every few years.
The Donegall Square branch premises will become the bank's first 'enterprise lounge' in Northern Ireland.
It will offer entrepreneurs and business start-ups free facilities and services.
The Financial Services Union said the move was "regrettable and irresponsible."
"The decision to close branches is not taken lightly, and we understand that it will be disappointing for those customers who use them," the bank's Sean Sheehan said.
"A key priority will be to ensure customers understand the alternative arrangements available, and to maintain continuity of customer service."
The 10-year deal includes 50 of the 737 MAX 8 aircraft, and 15 of the 777-300 ERs planes plus 15 777-9s jets.
It is the biggest US-Iran deal since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
Boeing confirmed that the deal was worth $16.6bn at current list prices, and had been approved by the US government. The first aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2018.
"Today's agreement will support tens of thousands of US jobs directly associated with production and delivery of the 777-300ERs, and nearly 100,000 US jobs in the US aerospace value stream for the full course of deliveries," the company said.
The deal, which follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two parties in June, will help Iran modernise and expand its ageing commercial aircraft fleet.
Today's agreement will support tens of thousands of U.S. jobs directly associated with production and delivery of the 777-300ERs and nearly 100,000 U.S. jobs in the U.S. aerospace value stream for the full course of deliveries. The first airplanes under this agreement are scheduled for delivery in 2018.
In September, the US government granted permission to Boeing and European rival Airbus to sell billions of dollars' worth of aircraft to Iran.
It came after the US and other nations agreed last year to lift sanctions on Iran, in exchange for it ceasing its nuclear activities.
President-elect Donald Trump has criticised that nuclear deal, and Congressional Republicans are making efforts to counter the accord.
Last month the House of Representatives, the lower house of the US Congress, passed a bill designed to halt the sale of commercial aircraft to Iran.
If approved it would prevent the US Treasury from issuing licences that American banks would require to finance sales of commercial aircraft.
Call it "lesser Tuesday" - the respite between the blockbuster Southern primaries on 1 March and the key winner-take-all votes in Ohio and Florida on 15 March.
While the voting in Mississippi, Michigan, Idaho and Hawaii doesn't have the same kind of glamour or import as the other key electoral dates in March, that doesn't mean there aren't lessons to learn from the day's results.
Fourth place stings. If Marco Rubio were an Olympian, he'd be clapping politely and picking a nice spot to watch the medal ceremony. If it were a horse race, Rubio backers would be tearing up their betting slips.
Once again the Florida senator took a drubbing across the board, with single-digit finishes in both Michigan and Mississippi netting him zero convention delegates.
He may only place a few percentage points ahead of Ben Carson in Mississippi, who dropped out of the race last week and hasn't had a political pulse in weeks. It's got so bad Donald Trump didn't even feel compelled to belittle the candidate in his victory speech.
Full results - how the states were won
In hindsight his decision to wage total war against Mr Trump, flinging mud with both fists, was a disastrous mistake. And if his attacks were supposed to be a selfless kamikaze mission against the front-runner, well, the USS Trump is still steaming ahead.
Mr Rubio now has exactly one week to pull off a minor miracle and defeat Mr Trump in his home state of Florida. A win there likely won't improve his presidential prospects, which are basically zero, but it could salvage his pride. It would also do a great service for the anti-Trump forces, who are now largely left hoping for a primary season that ends in a draw and a brokered convention.
Reports of Donald Trump's demise are ... well, you know the drill by now.
After taking a beating from Mr Rubio and Ted Cruz at the Republican debate last week and being denounced by 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Saturday, the media were rife with reports that the front-runner's formidable armour might be cracking. He underperformed in voting on Saturday, posting losses in Kansas and Maine and only narrow wins in Kentucky and Louisiana. Perhaps the relentless attacks were finally taking a toll?
Er, no.
Mr Trump once again showed he has nationwide appeal. He dominated the vote in a Southern state not bordering Mr Cruz's Texas home, and rolled to victory in Michigan. That second win is particularly key, since the South is largely done voting but the Mid-West - with its blue-collar voters hit hard by the decline in US manufacturing - is just starting to weigh in.
Who is voting for Donald Trump?
In search of Trump's Scottish roots
Trump detractors may take some solace in the fact that both Michigan and Mississippi held primaries that were open to non-Republicans - a setup that has favoured the New Yorker in the past. Most of the remaining states only allow participation by registered Republicans.
They shouldn't get their hopes up too high, however. According to exit polls in both Michigan and Mississippi, Mr Trump performed equally well among Republicans and the unaffiliated.
Mr Trump is now in a position to deliver a mortal blow to his opponents next week and send the Republican establishment into full-on paroxysms of despair.
Going into Tuesday's voting, some thought that Mr Cruz could build on his weekend momentum and post a surprise win in Mississippi. Others speculated that Ohio Governor John Kasich could demonstrate his Mid-Western appeal and pull out a Michigan victory, as he invested considerable time and money there.
In the end Mr Trump won by comfortable margins in each state - which is hardly good news for either challenger.
Is Cruz the most radical Republican?
Mr Kasich can find a bit of a silver lining in Mr Rubio's abysmal performance, however. Without the Florida senator in the picture, he looks likely to pick up the mantle of the mainstream, moderate candidate. Of course this primary landscape is now littered with the bodies of establishment politicians, so he may not want to get too comfortable.
As for Mr Cruz, he pushed Mr Kasich for second place in Michigan, which has to be encouraging. If he's going to battle Mr Trump all the way to the Republican convention, the Texas senator will have to continue to show support outside his native South. He did beat Mr Trump in sparsely populated Idaho but the delegate prize was tiny.
Once again Hillary Clinton posted a dominating win in a Southern state, taking Mississippi by nearly 70% and netting a lion's share of its 36 delegates.
Michigan was another story, however. Although polls showed her with a comfortable lead, Democratic voters had other ideas - and Bernie Sanders delivered a surprise defeat to the front-runner.
The good news for the former secretary of state is that big wins coupled with narrow losses will only continue her climb ahead of the Vermont senator in the all-important delegate count for the Democratic convention. Thanks to her dominating performance across the South, she's already built up a sizable lead, and Tuesday's balloting will add to it.
The most progressive president ever?
The bad news is that the South is nearly done voting, and the Michigan results could indicate that she will be in a dogfight with Mr Sanders in the Mid-West. While she still is the odds-on favourite to win the nomination, a series of narrow victories - or losses - from here on out will do little to encourage Mr Sanders to quit the race.
Instead, she seems destined to grind out a long, hard primary campaign against a stubborn opponent.

The 25-year-old's towering nine-iron at the 177-yard 15th pitched a foot from the flag before trickling in, and he birdied the last to finish on 11 under.
Leader Martin Kaymer did not drop a shot in adding a 67 to his opening 64.
It was the third ace of the week after Tom Lewis at the seventh and Miguel Angel Jimenez at the 15th.
Big-hitting Belgian Thomas Pieters, the 6ft 5in 22-year-old who was runner-up to Jimenez after a play-off at last year's Spanish Open, also reached 13 under before dropping a shot at the ninth, his final hole.
McIlroy's playing partner Rickie Fowler, who was level with the Northern Irishman three shots back after day one, carded a triple-bogey eight at the eighth in a 75 and dropped to two under, making the cut by just a single stroke.
Commenting on his hole-in-one, McIlroy said: "It was a perfect number, straight downwind 177 yards, and it took a nice little hop to the right, so obviously the beers are on me tonight.
"It wasn't one of my goals for the year but it's a nice little bonus."
Shelby Holmes, from Towyn, Conwy, described the experience as "absolutely marvellous" if "not exactly the norm" for someone from her background.
The fifth-generation travelling showman won a place to study English literature at Trinity College in 2012 after gaining two A*s and a B in her A-levels.
This was despite missing weeks of school every year because of her family's work.
Ms Holmes had no idea what to expect from university explaining: "Usually the kids go on to do the family business.
"Families in showmen cultures work as a single business unit and everyone pulls their weight."
So, was it difficult for the girl from the fairground to fit into Oxford's notoriously grand cloisters?
Not at all. Ms Holmes explained: "I didn't really know what to expect.
"Everyone has heard about Oxford and about how posh everyone is and how different everyone is but it didn't take long to find friends and fit in. Everyone was brilliant."
And she credits her time at university for opening her eyes to new possibilities.
She said: "I always used to think that showmen were in this very small corner of the world and I didn't think much about letting people know about us.
"Going to Oxford and seeing all these different kinds of people from different backgrounds, from all sorts of different countries and having that wonderful mix of cultures... I thought, you know what, if all these other people can go to Oxford why can't a few more showmen go?"
Ms Holmes now plans to further her studies with a master's degree in history of art in the hope of realising her "big dream" to manage a house for the National Trust.
But this summer you will find her working at the fair as usual, remaining modest about her achievements.
"I'm not anyone particularly special," she said.
"I just did a bit of work and got into a university that plenty of other people get into.
"I didn't do anything particularly crazy or brave. It was just what I wanted to do."

Members were asked to take part in a vote to allowing terminations in cases of fatal foetal abnormality, in which doctors believe an unborn child will die before of shortly after birth.
The event was picketed by anti-abortion protesters.
During the conference, Sinn Féin leaders also spoke of their ambition to become the biggest on both sides of the Irish border next year, the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
BBC News NI's political editor, Mark Devenport, reports.
Bosses of the Celtic Manor in Newport criticised a lack of a marketing campaign by the Welsh government when they appeared before a committee of MPs.
They also said it was "shameful" they had closer links with Bristol Airport than Cardiff due to the Welsh airport offering fewer routes.
The summit is held in September.
With little more than 100 days to go before up to 60 world leaders arrive at Newport's Celtic Manor Resort, its chief operating officer told MPs that nothing had been "nailed down" in terms of a planned outreach programme.
Ian Edwards said it was "shameful" that the resort worked more closely with Bristol Airport on an international campaign because it offered more routes than Cardiff Airport.
He said Wales had done well out of the Ryder Cup at the resort, but could have done better.
"We've got to learn the lesson from the Ryder Cup and make sure we don't make the same mistakes with Nato," he said.
Mr Edwards told MPs on the Welsh affairs committee: "At the moment it's more viable for us to have an alliance with Bristol Airport to put on an international campaign because they have more routes coming into Bristol than into Cardiff.
"How shameful is that?"
The Nato summit will be five times the size of the Ryder Cup, with delegates and media staying in hotels from Swansea to Swindon.
Mr Edwards said no-one in the Welsh government was promoting the conference market, where delegates spent three times as much as ordinary leisure visitors.
The resort's director Simon Gibson said that before the Ryder Cup people overseas thought Wales was spelled "whales".
The executives criticised the "GREAT Britain" marketing campaign to bring tourists to Britain.
Mr Edwards said: "We only became part of that because of the Nato summit. Before that, it didn't exist."
But Mr Edwards also told MPs that he believed that the body promoting Welsh tourism - Visit Wales, was effectively under new management.
"Visit Wales is under a new leadership, new direction, and is still sort of finding its feet at the moment," he said.
"Once everything is pulled together, we will have the right team to move things forward."
He told the MPs that he felt the Welsh government was working hard towards ensuring the Nato event was a success.
He added: "We will absolutely be ready for Nato. We have to be ready for Nato - it's not an option."
However, Mr Gibson went on to criticise UKTI, the government department charged with helping business, for inviting Wales to take part in investment opportunities late in the bidding process for a share of investment from sovereign wealth funds.
"I don't always think we're at the front of the queue at UKTI when it comes to opportunities," he said.
"It's billions. An opportunity like that might have paid for the M4 relief road.
"It could have done all sorts of projects of a large nature but if we're at the back of the queue we're going to lose."
Responding to some of Mr Edwards comments, a spokesperson for the Welsh government said: "We have an excellent relationship with the Celtic Manor and are working closely with them and the UK Government to ensure we maximise the benefits to Wales from hosting the NATO conference.
"We are also working closely with the Celtic Manor on plans to deliver a world-class convention centre to enhance Wales' reputation as an international destination for major conferences."
He posted figures of 6-70 as the hosts were bowled for 175 before tea, having taken the final Sussex wicket early on.
Leicestershire's middle order crumbled with only Harry Dearden (36) and Zak Chappell (27 not out) offering fight.
Needing 232 to win, Ben Raine bowled Harry Finch and had Chris Nash caught but Sussex closed well-placed on 100-2.
Sussex's Danny Briggs, who contributed 27 to Sussex's first-innings 10th-wicket partnership of 83 with Vernon Philander, took 3-40 during Leicestershire's second innings and saw out the day as nightwatchman alongside Luke Wells.
Archer's bowling display was all the more timely as an ankle injury prevented South African Philander from bowling.
Sussex need 132 runs to win on the final day and deny their opponents a first Division Two win of the season.
Sussex seamer Archer told BBC Radio Sussex:
"The wicket didn't change much from the first two days - it's just a wicket where you have to be consistent with your line and length.
"Briggsy pretty much had the holding role and he did very well to pick up some wickets as well - it's always a bonus, it gives the pacers less to do.
"I'm feeling tired now - it's always good to be off, my work's done and we have a two week rest so it's fine."
Leicestershire's Clint McKay told BBC Radio Leicester:
"I think they're slightly ahead of the game - they've played very nice cricket throughout the day and we probably didn't help ourselves out, especially with the bat.
"The game's definitely in the balance - a couple of early wickets tomorrow and I think it'll make for an interesting day.
"All in all I think it's quite a good pitch, it's about us hanging in there and making sure we hit the top of the stumps enough tomorrow until one of those balls does something off the wicket."
The Portsmouth-based warship is to be replaced by HMS Ocean, which has just received a £65m refit.
A decommissioning ceremony will be held later in the year and Illustrious's final return to base could be as early as next Tuesday.
Vice Admiral Sir Philip Jones, the Navy's fleet commander, said the ship had a "long and proud history".
HMS Illustrious, nicknamed Lusty, is the last of the Invincible class of aircraft carriers which included the Ark Royal and Invincible, introduced into the navy in the 1980s.
Its entry into service was brought forward so it could assist in the Falklands War effort.
The carrier was hastily commissioned at sea en route to Portsmouth to pick up supplies and crew before heading to the South Atlantic. A formal ceremony was held when it returned to the UK.
It has also been deployed to conflict zones in Bosnia, Iraq, Sierra Leone and helped aid efforts after Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines in December.
Following the retirement of the Harrier aircraft in 2010, Illustrious went on to serve alongside Plymouth-based HMS Ocean as one of the navy's two helicopter carriers.
While its sister ships were sold for scrap, the government has indicated that Illustrious could be turned into a floating museum as a tribute to the decommissioned class of warship.
Its role will be replaced by the next generation of aircraft carriers, the first of which, HMS Queen Elizabeth, is set to be commissioned in 2016.
Vice Admiral Sir Philip Jones said: "The Royal Navy will, of course, mark the departure of HMS Illustrious with all the pride she deserves and is supportive of plans to retain her intact in the UK to preserve the legacy of the Invincible class and all those who served in them."
The 27-year-old moved to Tynecastle in September last year, scoring seven goals in 36 appearances as Hearts finished third in the Premiership.
"Arnaud has been immense for us since joining last season," head coach Robbie Neilson told the Hearts website.
"We were lucky to get him in the first place, to be honest. He's a real talent with great technique and vision."
Djoum, who was born in Cameroon but has represented Belgium at U19 and U20 level, has previously had spells at FC Brussels, Anderlecht, Roda JC, Akhisar Belediyespor and Lech Poznan.
The midfielder is happy at Tynecastle but admits he will leave before his new deal expires if all goes to plan, since he has ambitions to play in England.
"It was an easy choice to sign again because I have good feeling about this club," he said. "I think it has a good future and I get confidence from everybody here. It feels like home.
"The manager was also a big part of my decision. He has given me a lot of confidence on the pitch and I'm grateful.
"But (England) is always something I'm thinking about. Even though I've signed the new deal it is always a possibility to go there.
"I just have to work hard and maybe if I stay one more season I can move on.
"In the second year at a club it is always important to improve, to show people that your first season was not down to luck. I want to improve again this year and see what happens."
Sir Nicholas Soames said he would not sign a motion of no confidence in Mr Bercow, following his opposition to President Trump speaking in Parliament during a future state visit.
The MP said Mr Bercow was too outspoken but had been "very good" in many ways.
Mr Bercow has face criticism from other Conservatives, although only one MP has signed the motion so far.
Former Foreign Office minister James Duddridge tabled the early day motion ten days ago, arguing that Mr Bercow had overstepped the mark in voicing his opposition to the US President speaking in Parliament.
He said the Speaker's intervention had compromised his neutrality and independence.
Although Mr Duddridge is the only signatory so far, focus on the issue is expected to increase when MPs return from their week-long recess on Monday.
MPs will debate the merits of President Trump's proposed state visit on Monday when they consider rival public petitions opposing and supporting the event - which is likely to take place later this year.
Mr Bercow, who was a Conservative MP before being elected in 2009, will not chair the proceedings as they will be taking place in Westminster Hall, the Commons secondary debating chamber.
Sir Nicholas, one of the longest-serving Tories in the Commons, told ITV's Peston on Sunday he was not sure about the strength of feeling on the Tory benches against Mr Bercow, but he would not take part in any no confidence vote, should there be one.
"I have had an e-mail from both sides of the argument and I replied no to both of them," he said.
"John Bercow has in many ways been a very good Speaker. He does tend to shout off on occasions when it would be better if he didn't."
He added: "I will not be taking part in any campaign, one way or another.
"I think it is a really undignified and unattractive. The Speaker's office is one of the most important in the country."
Several Tories have voiced concerns about Mr Bercow's stance on Mr Trump's visit - which he announced without consulting his counterpart in the House of Lords Lord Fowler. Lord Fowler has said Parliament should keep an "open mind" on the issue.
There has also been unease over Mr Bercow's recent public declaration that he voted for Remain in last year's EU referendum.
When Mr Bercow was first elected, he said he would serve nine years and some Tory MPs have urged him now to clarify his intentions over his future.
Downing Street has said the issue of Mr Bercow's future is one for Parliament to decide - a position some observers have interpreted as giving ministers the green light to vote against the Speaker should the matter ever come before MPs.
Mr Duddridge's early day motion has no parliamentary force and does not mean the issue of the Speaker's future will be debated in the Commons.
Opposition parties remain supportive of Mr Bercow, with Labour MP Liz Kendall telling ITV's Peston on Sunday that there was a "vendetta" against Mr Bercow from Conservative MPs who "just don't like him".
"By having this motion of no confidence, I think they may have made a mistake and people may rally round the Speaker. I certainly will be."
It will be the first time the group has appeared at the three-day event staged near Beauly in the Highlands.
The festival will take place from 3 until 5 August in 2017.
Organisers said Scots singer KT Tunstall would support Franz Ferdinand. Seventies disco legends Sister Sledge are to headline on the Thursday night.
Promoter Joe Gibbs said: "This is the first time Franz Ferdinand has played Bella and we are totally delighted to welcome them to our stage.
"I couldn't think of a better act to close out the festival.
"And we are thrilled to be welcoming KT back. She played Bella before as an unannounced special guest but we are pleased to have properly on the bill this time."
Glenn Murray's 20th goal of the season put Albion ahead on two minutes, turning in Bruno's cross on the run.
Birmingham frustrated the hosts for the rest of the half, but Tomer Hemed chested in a second early on after the break to ease the pressure.
Uwe Hunemeier's fierce shot made it three, before Che Adam's consolation.
With nearest rivals Newcastle and fellow challengers Huddersfield not in action until Wednesday, the onus was on Brighton to get a confidence-building head-start.
Birmingham, without a win in five but having drawn the past three, saw any plans to hold Brighton blown away as the hosts' slick move teed up Murray for his landmark goal.
However, the Seagulls then seemed to fall back to the irritation of the expectant support while Craig Gardner's set-pieces appeared Birmingham's best hope, particularly when one curling effort brushed the woodwork.
Lewis Dunk's withdrawal through sickness in the first-half added to the concerns, but his team-mates shook off any of their own issues in his absence with two vital strikes shortly after the break.
Hemed's finish, his first in six matches, had The Amex rocking again and when Hunemeier smashed in, it was game over.
A smart move down the right gave Adams a rare opening to beat David Stockdale from inside the box with five minutes to go for a Birmingham consolation.
Brighton have a 10-point cushion to Reading in third with six matches remaining as they look for a return to the top flight for the first time since 1983.
Brighton manager Chris Hughton told BBC Sussex: "It was certainly scrappy, the fact we got the early goal normally motivates a team to go on but then we had a difficult period where we rested on that one goal, and you can't afford to do that against anybody.
"I was agitated in that first half, we needed to be more like ourselves. Fortunately we worked better in that second half and took our moments when we needed to do.
"Glenn is one who will always score, he has a knack, even when he's not playing well he gets in the right place at the right time.
"Our hard work has put us in the position [top of the league] but the last two games have shown us it can go either way. If you're not at the levels, it can go dramatically against you."
Birmingham City boss Gianfranco Zola told BBC WM: "It made the game really tough [conceding after two minutes]. We wanted to be defensively strong and wait for our moment to hit them on the counter, but it was a poor start.
"It was a poor start to the second half as well and it compromised the game. We had some good spells where we deserved our goal in the second half.
"But if you allow a team like Brighton to be in front then it comes difficult with the value of their team."

Trains between Portsmouth and Southsea and Portsmouth Harbour were also suspended.
The bomb, found by a dredger in the harbour at about 05:00 GMT, was towed out to sea and blown up at 16:00.
Cross-channel ferries to and from Portsmouth were suspended when a 500m exclusion zone was set up.
The cordon was lifted by 14:30, but ferry services were disrupted into the evening.
The harbour was shut to ferry traffic at 14:00 as the 500lb (227kg) German bomb was towed past the harbour entrance.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it carried out a controlled explosion one-and-a-half miles east of the Isle of Wight.
Cdr Del McKnight, who led the bomb disposal team, said: "Everything went smoothly and we were pleased to be able to get the operation completed in daylight.
"Despite being old, these devices still pose a very serious threat when they are moved."
Ahead of the operation, police evacuated the shopping and residential areas of Gunwharf Quays. The complex reopened at 14:20.
People were also asked to leave the Wightlink terminal, Old Portsmouth, Portsmouth Harbour station, Gosport ferry station and the Hot Walls areas.
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard was also closed.
Wightlink said, after services resumed, delays were expected with passengers boarding on a first-come first-served basis.
Brittany Ferries earlier had three ships waiting to come into Portsmouth - one from Spain and two from France - carrying a total of 650 passengers.
Its Normandie ferry, which had arrived from Caen, was held for almost five hours.
Nigel Wonnacott of Brittany Ferries apologised for the "unexpected and irritating delay".
Condor Ferries' Commodore Clipper, which serves the Channel Islands and had 94 passengers onboard, was also held outside the harbour for several hours.
The exclusion zone meant some Naval base employees had to be moved to other buildings at the dockyard.
It is the third device to be found in the harbour during dredging works, since September.
Dredging is being carried out to deepen and widen a four-mile (7km) channel to allow the the navy's new 65,000-tonne aircraft carriers to dock.
HMS Queen Elizabeth is due to be handed over to the MoD in 2016 before being put into service in 2020.
The cross-party group, including eight former cabinet ministers and London Olympics chairman Lord Coe, says any such move would damage press freedom.
Lord Justice Leveson is due to publish his report on Thursday.
The group, which has written to the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph, wants a stronger "self-regulatory" system.
The Leveson Inquiry was established by the prime minister in July last year and looked into the culture, practices and ethics of the press.
It was commissioned following allegations of illegal phone-hacking at the News of the World.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who has already warned politicians not to pre-empt its findings, will receive his copy of the report at lunchtime on Wednesday - 24 hours before its details are made public.
Full list of signatories
Lord Justice Leveson was asked to produce a list of recommendations for a more effective policy and regulatory regime for the press, which would preserve its independence while encouraging higher ethical and professional standards.
At the moment the press is self-regulated through the Press Complaints Commission (PCC).
Lord Justice Leveson is widely expected to recommend some form of statutory regulation overseen by an independent body.
But the politicians, led by former Labour home secretary David Blunkett and Conservative MP Conor Burns, argue in their letter this could be detrimental to free speech, saying: "As parliamentarians, we believe in free speech and are opposed to the imposition of any form of statutory control even if it is dressed up as underpinning."
They add: "No form of statutory regulation of the press would be possible without the imposition of state licensing - abolished in Britain in 1695. State licensing is inimical to any idea of press freedom and would radically alter the balance of our unwritten constitution.
"There are also serious concerns that statutory regulation of the print media may shift the balance to the digital platforms which, as recent events have shown through the fiasco of Newsnight-Twitter, would further undermine the position of properly moderated and edited print journalism."
The group - which includes Commons culture media and sport committee chairman John Whittingdale, Downton Abbey writer Lord Fellowes, former Commons Speaker Baroness Boothroyd and ex-cabinet ministers Lord Tebbit, Liam Fox, John Redwood and Peter Lilley - has written to the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph,
It backs a proposal from former PCC chairman Lord Hunt and Lord Black, one-time chairman of the body that finances the commission, for a "totally new" version of the regulator.
They propose an independent body with increased powers to investigate complaints and illegal behaviour, levy fines of up to £1m and award compensation, and enforce membership by newspapers for the first time.
By Nick RobinsonPolitical editor
Some campaigners say the current system of self-regulation, overseen by the Press Complaints Commission, is inadequate and that tougher rules are needed to curb newspapers' excesses.
Earlier this month, 42 Conservative MPs and peers wrote to the Guardian arguing in favour of some form of statutory underpinning for press regulation.
Broadcaster Anne Diamond, who gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry about her experience with the press, told BBC Breakfast that "self-regulation has been given its chance and it hasn't worked".
"The only way to have some real teeth behind some agreed code of conduct is to have some kind of statutory underpinning... You have to change the culture and the enforcement."
The actor Hugh Grant, who has been campaigning for stricter press regulation, told Breakfast: "What people are campaigning for is an end to newspapers being able to regulate themselves... because that is what has resulted in the kind of abuses of people like the Dowlers, the McCanns, Christopher Jefferies."
He added: "The only industry in this country which is allowed to regulate itself is the newspaper industry... We need a proper regulator, an independent regulator, meaningful, that will need some statute to oblige newspapers to sign up to it."
Martin Moore, director of the Media Standards Trust charity, said the challenge for Lord Justice Leveson was to balance the need for some sort of redress for "ordinary people" with freedom of the press.
It is up to David Cameron to decide whether to implement Lord Justice Leveson's recommendations.
Downing Street has said the prime minister was "open-minded" about the future regulation. Previously he said he intended to implement the findings of the Leveson inquiry, provided they were not "bonkers".
But the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson says the coalition is preparing for the possibility that it may be divided by the report's recommendations, with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg less likely to be hostile to Lord Justice Leveson's proposals.
As a guide for the "interested but perplexed", I have added a few notes (in italics below) to the transcript of Prof Hawking's second lecture, in the same way I did last week.
You can listen to the lecture live on BBC Radio 4 from 0900 GMT. After broadcast you can listen on demand or download it for later. You can listen to the first lecture here. More information on both lectures and Stephen Hawking can be found on the Radio 4 Reith Lectures site.
In my previous lecture I left you on a cliff-hanger: a paradox about the nature of black holes, the incredibly dense objects created by the collapse of stars.
One theory suggested that black holes with identical qualities could be formed from an infinite number of different types of stars. Another suggested that the number could be finite.
This is a problem of information, that is the idea that every particle and every force in the universe contains information, an implicit answer to a yes-no question.
Because black holes have no hair, as the scientist John Wheeler put it, one can't tell from the outside what is inside a black hole, apart from its mass, electric charge, and rotation.
This means that a black hole contains a lot of information that is hidden from the outside world. If the amount of hidden information inside a black hole depends on the size of the hole, one would expect from general principles that the black hole would have a temperature, and would glow like a piece of hot metal.
But that was impossible, because as everyone knew, nothing could get out of a black hole. Or so it was thought.
This problem remained until early in 1974, when I was investigating what the behaviour of matter in the vicinity of a black hole would be, according to quantum mechanics.
DS: Quantum mechanics is the science of the extremely small and it seeks to explain the behaviour of the tiniest particles. These do not act according to the laws that govern the movements of much bigger objects like planets, laws that were first framed by Isaac Newton. Using the science of the very small to study the very large was one of Stephen Hawking's pioneering achievements.
To my great surprise I found that the black hole seemed to emit particles at a steady rate. Like everyone else at that time, I accepted the dictum that a black hole could not emit anything. I therefore put quite a lot of effort into trying to get rid of this embarrassing effect.
But the more I thought about it, the more it refused to go away, so that in the end I had to accept it.
What finally convinced me it was a real physical process was that the outgoing particles have a spectrum that is precisely thermal.
My calculations predicted that a black hole creates and emits particles and radiation, just as if it were an ordinary hot body, with a temperature that is proportional to the surface gravity, and inversely proportional to the mass.
DS: These calculations were the first to show that a black hole need not be a one-way street to a dead end. No surprise, the emissions suggested by the theory became known as Hawking Radiation.
Since that time, the mathematical evidence that black holes emit thermal radiation has been confirmed by a number of other people with various different approaches.
One way to understand the emission is as follows. Quantum mechanics implies that the whole of space is pairs of virtual and anti particles, filled with pairs of virtual particles and antiparticles, that are constantly materialising in pairs, separating, and then coming together again, and annihilating each other.
DS: This concept hinges on the idea that a vacuum is never totally empty. According to the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, there is always the chance that particles may come into existence, however briefly. And this would always involve pairs of particles, with opposite characteristics, appearing and disappearing.
Stephen Hawking: A new way to see black holes
These particles are called virtual because unlike real particles they cannot be observed directly with a particle detector.
Their indirect effects can nonetheless be measured, and their existence has been confirmed by a small shift, called the Lamb shift, which they produce in the spectrum energy of light from excited hydrogen atoms.
Now in the presence of a black hole, one member of a pair of virtual particles may fall into the hole, leaving the other member without a partner with which to annihilate.
The forsaken particle or antiparticle may fall into the black hole after its partner, but it may also escape to infinity, where it appears to be radiation emitted by the black hole.

Other scientists who have given Reith Lectures include Robert Oppenheimer, Martin Rees and Bernard Lovell. You can listen to them here.
DS: The key here is that the formation and disappearance of these particles normally pass unnoticed. But if the process happens right on the edge of a black hole, one of the pair may get dragged in while the other is not. The particle that escapes would then look as if it's being spat out by the black hole.
A black hole of the mass of the sun, would leak particles at such a slow rate, it would be impossible to detect. However, there could be much smaller mini black holes with the mass of say, a mountain.
A mountain-sized black hole would give off X-rays and gamma rays, at a rate of about 10 million megawatts, enough to power the world's electricity supply.
It wouldn't be easy however, to harness a mini black hole. You couldn't keep it in a power station, because it would drop through the floor and end up at the centre of the Earth.
If we had such a black hole, about the only way to keep hold of it would be to have it in orbit around the Earth.
People have searched for mini black holes of this mass, but have so far not found any. This is a pity, because if they had I would have got a Nobel Prize.
Another possibility, however, is that we might be able to create micro black holes in the extra dimensions of space time.
DS: By 'extra dimensions', he means something beyond the three dimensions that we are all familiar with in our everyday lives, plus the fourth dimension of time. The idea arose as part of an effort to explain why gravity is so much weaker than other forces such as magnetism - maybe it's also having to operate in parallel dimensions.
According to some theories, the universe we experience is just a four dimensional surface in a ten or eleven dimensional space.
The movie Interstellar gives some idea of what this is like. We wouldn't see these extra dimensions because light wouldn't propagate through them but only through the four dimensions of our universe.
Gravity, however, would affect the extra dimensions and would be much stronger than in our universe. This would make it much easier to form a little black hole in the extra dimensions.
It might be possible to observe this at the LHC, the Large Hadron Collider, at CERN in Switzerland. This consists of a circular tunnel, 27 kilometres long. Two beams of particles travel round this tunnel in opposite directions, and are made to collide. Some of the collisions might create micro black holes. These would radiate particles in a pattern that would be easy to recognize.
So I might get a Nobel Prize after all.
DS: The Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded when a theory is "tested by time" which in practice means confirmation by hard evidence. For example, Peter Higgs was among scientists who, back in the 1960s, suggested the existence of a particle that would give other particles their mass. Nearly 50 years later, two different detectors at the Large Hadron Collider spotted signs of what had become known as the Higgs Boson. It was a triumph of science and engineering, of clever theory and hard-won evidence. And Peter Higgs and Francois Englert, a Belgian scientist, were jointly awarded the prize. No physical proof has yet been found of Hawking Radiation.

As particles escape from a black hole, the hole will lose mass, and shrink. This will increase the rate of emission of particles.
Eventually, the black hole will lose all its mass, and disappear. What then happens to all the particles and unlucky astronauts that fell into the black hole? They can't just re-emerge when the black hole disappears.
It appears that the information about what fell in is lost, apart from the total amount of mass, and the amount of rotation. But if information is lost, this raises a serious problem that strikes at the heart of our understanding of science.
For more than 200 years, we have believed in scientific determinism, that is, that the laws of science determine the evolution of the universe. This was formulated by Pierre-Simon Laplace, who said that if we know the state of the universe at one time, the laws of science will determine it at all future and past times.
Napoleon is said to have asked Laplace how God fitted into this picture. Laplace replied, "Sire, I have not needed that hypothesis."
I don't think that Laplace was claiming that God didn't exist. It is just that he doesn't intervene to break the laws of science. That must be the position of every scientist. A scientific law is not a scientific law if it only holds when some supernatural being decides to let things run and not intervene.
In Laplace's determinism, one needed to know the positions and speeds of all particles at one time, in order to predict the future. But there's the uncertainty relationship, discovered by Walter Heisenberg in 1923, which lies at the heart of quantum mechanics.
This holds that the more accurately you know the positions of particles, the less accurately you can know their speeds, and vice versa. In other words, you can't know both the positions and the speeds accurately.
How then can you predict the future accurately? The answer is that although one can't predict the positions and speeds separately, one can predict what is called the quantum state. This is something from which both positions and speeds can be calculated to a certain degree of accuracy.
We would still expect the universe to be deterministic, in the sense that if we knew the quantum state of the universe at one time, the laws of science should enable us to predict it at any other time.
DS: What began as an explanation of what happens at an event horizon has deepened into an exploration of some of the most important philosophies in science - from the clockwork world of Newton to the laws of Laplace to the uncertainties of Heisenberg - and where they are challenged by the mystery of black holes. Essentially, information entering a black hole should be destroyed, according to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity while quantum theory says it cannot be broken down, and this remains an unresolved question.
If information were lost in black holes, we wouldn't be able to predict the future, because a black hole could emit any collection of particles.
It could emit a working television set, or a leather-bound volume of the complete works of Shakespeare, though the chance of such exotic emissions is very low.
It might seem that it wouldn't matter very much if we couldn't predict what comes out of black holes. There aren't any black holes near us. But it is a matter of principle.
If determinism, the predictability of the universe, breaks down with black holes, it could break down in other situations. Even worse, if determinism breaks down, we can't be sure of our past history either.
The history books and our memories could just be illusions. It is the past that tells us who we are. Without it, we lose our identity.
Hawking: Humans at risk of 'own goal'
Black hole caught 'burping gas'
Hawking: Black holes store information
It was therefore very important to determine whether information really was lost in black holes, or whether in principle, it could be recovered.
Many scientists felt that information should not be lost, but no one could suggest a mechanism by which it could be preserved. The arguments went on for years. Finally, I found what I think is the answer.
It depends on the idea of Richard Feynman, that there isn't a single history, but many different possible histories, each with their own probability.
In this case, there are two kinds of history. In one, there is a black hole, into which particles can fall, but in the other kind there is no black hole.
The point is that from the outside, one can't be certain whether there is a black hole or not. So there is always a chance that there isn't a black hole.
This possibility is enough to preserve the information, but the information is not returned in a very useful form. It is like burning an encyclopaedia. Information is not lost if you keep all the smoke and ashes, but it is difficult to read.
The scientist Kip Thorne and I had a bet with another physicist, John Preskill, that information would be lost in black holes. When I discovered how information could be preserved, I conceded the bet. I gave John Preskill an encyclopaedia. Maybe I should have just given him the ashes.
DS: In theory, and with a purely deterministic view of the universe, you could burn an encyclopaedia and then reconstitute it if you knew the characteristics and position of every atom making up every molecule of ink in every letter and kept track of them all at all times.
Currently I'm working with my Cambridge colleague Malcolm Perry and Andrew Strominger from Harvard on a new theory based on a mathematical idea called supertranslations to explain the mechanism by which information is returned out of the black hole.
The information is encoded on the horizon of the black hole. Watch this space.
DS: Since the Reith Lectures were recorded, Prof Hawking and his colleagues have published a paper which makes a mathematical case that information can be stored in the event horizon. The theory hinges on information being transformed into a two-dimensional hologram in a process known as supertranslations. The paper, titled Soft Hair on Black Holes, offers a highly revealing glimpse into the esoteric language of this field and the challenge that scientists face in trying to explain it.
What does this tell us about whether it is possible to fall in a black hole, and come out in another universe? The existence of alternative histories with black holes suggests this might be possible. The hole would need to be large, and if it was rotating, it might have a passage to another universe.
But you couldn't come back to our universe. So although I'm keen on space flight, I'm not going to try that.
DS: If black holes are rotating, then their heart may not consist of a singularity in the sense of an infinitely dense point. Instead, there may be a singularity in the form of a ring. And that leads to speculation about the possibility of not only falling into a black hole but also travelling through one. This would mean leaving the universe as we know it. And Stephen Hawking concludes with a tantalising thought: that there may something on the other side.
The message of this lecture is that black holes ain't as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought. Things can get out of a black hole, both to the outside, and possibly to another universe.
So if you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out.
Thank you very much.

Regulators rely on them to be eyes and ears within organisations as diverse as hospitals and banks. But whistleblowing only works if it's anonymous.
If bosses can hunt down those who raise concerns, then valuable information is less likely to surface.
That's why financial regulators are so concerned by the conduct of Barclays boss Jes Staley.
When an anonymous letter was sent to members of the board raising concerns about someone Mr Staley had hired from his old firm JP Morgan, Jes Staley wanted to find out who sent it.
He was told to back off initially and then later mistakenly thought he could restart the hunt. As one source told me: "It was dumb." It certainly was and it will probably cost him at least last year's £1.3m deferred bonus.
Jes Staley is not generally a dumb guy and I'm told it was the personal nature of the letter that riled him enough to poke his nose into matters into which a CEO's nose should not be poked.
The letter called into question the personal conduct of a recent senior hire (although not at executive committee level) from Jes Staley's long-time employer, JP Morgan.
This person had been through some personal problems that made the author of the letter question the suitability of the candidate. It also suggested Mr Staley's long-term friendship with the new hire may have meant normal due diligence in hiring was not followed.
Mr Staley saw this as an unnecessary and personal attack on someone who had come through their problems and wanted to know who sent it so badly that Barclays' information security department asked US law enforcement officials to help find out. I'm told US officials were co-opted because the letter emanated from the US.
Barclays conducted their own inquiry into this, led by Barclays' deputy chairman Gerry Grimstone, and concluded that Mr Staley had made an honest but serious mistake.
The letter had been reviewed by the Barclays internal team, which concluded it did not contain allegations that were material to the bank's activity and therefore no further action would be taken.
Mr Staley mistakenly understood that to mean that the anonymity of the sender was therefore not guaranteed and he was allowed to try to identify the sender.
It was in fact a breach of a rule that had recently come into effect as part of something called the Senior Managers Regime. It also seems to be a pretty fundamental breach of the concept of anonymous reporting in general.
However, reasonable minds could differ on what is whistleblowing and what is the trashing of someone's reputation by bringing up past personal conduct.
Sanctions available to the regulator for breaking these new rules are potentially severe. In serious cases, the regulator has the power to disbar individuals from working in banking.
It remains to be seen whether Barclays decision to reprimand and hit its chief executive in the pocket will pacify regulators, who may take a dim view of trying to expose their useful friend - the whistleblower.
Ethnic minority students are more likely to be concentrated in new universities in London and big cities.
But white students are more likely to attend predominantly white institutions, says the study.
The report warns of "segregation" as a result of students' choices of university.
There are also ethnic divisions within subjects, with only 25 black Caribbean students entering medicine or dentistry courses in 2014-15.
"If we are to create a more tolerant UK society, where people are aware and respectful of cultural and ethnic difference, it is vital that greater mixing happens," said leader of the research project, Dr Michael Donnelly.
The study, Diverse Places of Learning?, shows that black and Asian students are not spread evenly within the university system, but tend to be concentrated in big, multicultural cities.
Almost two-thirds of students in the UK from Bangladeshi families go to a relatively small number of "super-diverse" London universities.
There are some universities where almost three-quarters of UK students are from ethnic minorities - and there are others where more than 95% of students are white.
There are about 20 universities where a majority of undergraduate students are from ethnic minorities - with these figures not including overseas students.
Researchers found some students from multicultural parts of London were worried they could face racism if they chose universities in less diverse parts of the country.
Young people from ethnic minorities told researchers they were concerned about "feeling uncomfortable or thought they might be stared at" if they went to places with few other minorities, said Dr Donnelly.
White students, particularly those who have grown up in areas with a low proportion of ethnic minorities, were more likely to go to universities with a high proportion of white students.
"Only 12.3% of white British students attend the most diverse universities," said the study.
The researchers said it raised questions about integration and social mobility.
Report lead author Dr Sol Gamsu said that universities which are more ethnically diverse tended to be "less wealthy universities which provide higher education for large numbers of first-generation university students".
Dr Gamsu said that the "hierarchy of universities" meant that resources were more likely to be focused on "institutions dominated by the white middle class".
He said that in terms of factors underlying the segregation, there also seemed to be a pattern of middle class, white students avoiding some universities.
Subjects were "even more segregated than universities" said researchers and some have "huge problems with ethnic diversity".
For medicine and dentistry courses, the study found only 0.3% of the intake were from black Caribbean families - representing 25 students.
This was the lowest proportion of any ethnic minority group - compared with almost 3% who were black African, 11% Indian and 5% Pakistani and 2% Chinese.
For veterinary sciences, almost 95% of students were white, meaning that "fewer than 50 students starting out on new veterinary courses for 2014-15 came from non-white backgrounds".
Dr Matt Dickson, from the University of Bath's department of social and policy sciences, said that the study showed that more needs to be done to ensure that "students from different classes and ethnic backgrounds learn together in the same institutions".
He warned it should not be a system that "funnels" ethnic minority and poorer students "into certain institutions and the white middle class into others".
A fragment of bone belonging to RAF Pilot Officer Harold Penketh was found when the aircraft was excavated in Cambridgeshire last October.
The rest of his body was recovered shortly after the Spitfire crashed during a training exercise in 1940.
A plaque and information board were unveiled on Thursday at a short service near to the crash site at Holme Lode.
Pilot Officer Penketh, aged 20, broke formation and entered a dive during a routine training flight with two other Spitfires on 22 November, 1940.
He did not use his parachute and was killed when the aircraft struck the ground vertically.
Recovered and restored remains of the plane are now at RAF Wyton Pathfinder Museum.
Officer Penketh's remains were cremated at Woodvale Crematorium in Brighton and the ashes interred in Hove last November.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it was mirroring the wishes of Pilot Officer Penketh's parents, who lived in Brighton when he was killed.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took control of northern Uttar Pradesh state - India's most populous - with the biggest majority there since 1980.
Mr Modi personally led the campaign against regional rivals the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj party.
Trends suggest the BJP is also set to win the northern state of Uttarakhand.
The Election Commission of India said the Hindu nationalist BJP had won a clear majority in Uttar Pradesh, with nearly four in 10 voters backing the party.
"I give my heartfelt thanks to the people of Uttar Pradesh. This is a historic victory for the BJP; a victory for development and good governance," Mr Modi wrote on Twitter.
The result will strengthen the BJP in the upper house of India's parliament, where its reform efforts have been hampered by the lack of a majority.
Mr Modi has been central to his party's election strategy. He campaigned aggressively on a promise to bring growth and modernisation, and to root out corruption.
These were strong promises in an impoverished state like Uttar Pradesh where caste, family and religious affiliations are deeply entrenched.
Mr Modi also strongly backed his move to ban high-value notes - amounting to 86% of India's currency - last year as a measure to tackle corruption.
The incumbent chief minister, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, opposed the currency move, and told the electorate that Mr Modi had "taken money out of people's pockets", and hurt businesses.
He also told people that he was the best person to bring development.
"My track record in the past five years shows that I have a vision for the state," he said at a rally recently.
Analysts say Mr Yadav's decision to form an alliance with the Congress party, and his direct attack on Mr Modi's policies probably hurt his prospects.
Congress, the main opposition party, remains in the lead in Punjab and Manipur states.
The BJP's resounding win in Uttar Pradesh has proven that Mr Modi's ability to connect with the voter has not diminished.
The party did not declare a chief ministerial candidate, and relied heavily on Mr Modi. The opposition called him "an outsider from Gujarat state", and criticised the BJP for not having a local leader, but this has clearly not affected sentiment on the ground.
The prime minister was able to successfully project himself as the "adopted son of Uttar Pradesh". He is an elected MP from the state.

The 19-year-old, who is being held at Corby Police Station, was arrested on Tuesday by officers who are trying to locate missing Veronica Sbircea.
Veronica left her home in Kettering on the evening of 21 July and there were sightings of her in London on 27 and 28 July.
Police believe she may be in either the Brixton or Enfield areas of London.
Veronica, who is also known as Rachel, is white, 5ft (152cm), with long straight black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing dark leggings and a black top.
She is originally from the London area.
Det Insp Stuart Hitchon said: "Veronica is known to approach people to use their mobile phone temporarily, and we are urging anyone who may have been approached by her or have seen her, to make contact."
The Stena Line ferry between Rosslare and Fishguard in Pembrokeshire was unable to dock on Monday with 87 passengers and 59 crew stuck onboard.
It was forced to sail to sheltered waters off the Llyn Peninsula in north Wales overnight.
It follows flooding across Wales in the wake of Storm Angus.
The journey usually takes around four hours to complete but stormy conditions meant the crew were forced to change the route several times eventually taking shelter in calmer waters off north Wales overnight.
The vessel finally made it to Fishguard on Tuesday morning.
One passenger leaving the port said: "You couldn't get up from your seat, everything was toppling over. It was horrendous.
"It's the worst I've been on in all of the years I've been travelling."
Others described the situation as "terrible" and some said "never again" about using the ferry but it was a "relief" to be on land.
Ian Davies, trade director for Stena Line, said passengers would be compensated.
He added: "There's many things we can control in life and weather, unfortunately, isn't one of them."
On Tuesday morning, a number of flood alerts remained in place across Wales, with higher risk flood warnings cleared at Boverton and Ewenny in Vale of Glamorgan, and on the Gwendraeth Fawr river at Pontyberem and Pontyates in Carmarthenshire.
Train services between Bridgend and Cardiff Airport remain suspended, while services on Arriva Train Wales between Shrewsbury and Hereford have now resumed following earlier flooding.
Dozens of roads also remain flooded across the whole of Wales, with motorists being urged to check their travel plans.
Meanwhile, a search has resumed for a man who went missing near the River Ogmore in Bridgend.
The heavy rain and winds have caused flash flooding and travel chaos across other parts of the UK.
Check if this is affecting your journey
Jeremy Parr, Natural Resources Wales' head of flood management, said the events of the last few days emphasised the need to be prepared.
"It's been a very wet period for the last couple of days across large parts of Wales," he said.
"It can happen again and it can happen anywhere.
"Find out if you're at risk - sometimes people don't think they are - and find out about insurance.
"The best advice is to think about these things in advance and not wait until it's too late."
Three new Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) have been approved by the Welsh Government and will now go before the European Commission for consideration.
They are North Anglesey Marine, West Wales Marine and the Bristol Channel Approaches.
The SACs will complement existing conservation measures in place throughout UK waters.
Three other marine areas have also been approved as Special Protection Areas (SPA), including:
Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths said: "We are committed to creating a network of marine protected areas in Wales so species and habitats can thrive.
"A rich and healthy marine environment ensures the sustainable use of our seas now and in the future."
The new conservation protection areas follow a consultation carried out by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) last year.
Ceri Davies, NRW executive director for evidence, policy and permitting, said: "We are proud that the seas around Wales support such a rich diversity of wildlife, which is highly valued by local communities and sustains important businesses such as fishing, tourism and recreation."
Health spokeswoman Elin Jones AM said it was "incredible" that no national figures were kept on the GP data.
The Welsh government said it was the responsibility of health boards to keep track of the issue.
It added it was working to promote Wales as an attractive place to live and work.
BBC Radio Cymru's Manylu programme submitted a Freedom of Information Request to find out how many GP vacancies there are in Wales, and which areas are struggling to recruit doctors.
It comes after concerns were raised that areas including Botwnnog, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Aberaeron and Wrexham were struggling to recruit.
The Welsh government does not collate national figures and both Hywel Dda and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg health boards said they did not hold the information because GP practices were independent contractors.
Ceredigion AM Elin Jones said the situation was "incredible" and "unacceptable".
"We need to see Welsh government, with health boards, have an accurate profile - a health check almost - on GP practices throughout Wales to ensure that every part of Wales has ready access to a full GP service," she said.
Nefyn surgery, in Gwynedd, is one of those experiencing difficulties having failed to recruit a partner for the last three years.
Dr Arfon Williams faces being the only full time partner at the 4,500-patient practice from April when another doctor retires.
"It's a big worry. You know logistically, it's very difficult to look after 4,500 patients with maybe the equivalent of one and a half partners so it's a big concern," he said.
"Twenty years ago we had 17 doctors in the Dwyfor area and now we have probably about nine or maybe 10 from next April, it's very concerning."
A Welsh government spokesperson said overall GP numbers in Wales had increased by 11.2% between 2003 and 2013.
But it recognised there were concerns about GP recruitment and retention in some areas and said it was working to promote Wales as an attractive place to live and work. | Bank of Ireland is to close eight branches in Northern Ireland and make up to 54 staff redundant.

Crews from 771 squadron have carried out more than 40 years of rescue operations from RNAS Culdrose near Helston, saving thousands of lives.
Maritime and Coastguard Agency contractor Bristow Helicopters will run the service from Newquay airport.
The US-based company won a 10-year, £1.6bn contract to run rescue services around the UK.
The red and grey Sea Kings of 771 Squadron will be replaced by Bristow's new Agusta Westland and Sikorsky helicopters.
Twenty two helicopters will operate 24 hours-a-day from 10 locations and the government says the service "will be able reach a larger area of the UK search and rescue region within one hour".
In 2004, as the Cornish village of Boscastle was overwhelmed by flooding, crews from 771 spent hours airlifting people to safety from rooftops.
In the 1985 Fastnet yacht race, a team from 771 helped saved Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon and 19 others from the yacht Drum after it overturned off Falmouth.
Some of the crew will join Merlin helicopter squadrons at Culdrose training crews for the navy's new aircraft carriers while others have transferred to Bristow.
Pilot Lt Andy Watts said: "We as individuals get a huge amount from the job, it teaches you about making life and death decisions on the fly and weighing up all the balances and you don't get that on other flying that you do."
Mark Coupland, Bristow Helicopter's chief pilot at Newquay, said: "We are keen to acknowledge the past and where a lot of the new coastguard team have come from. Many of the Newquay team have been trained by the Royal Navy and we are massively proud of the lives that 771 has saved over the years."
Salcombe RNLI tweeted: "Thank you @RoyalNavy Rescue 193, 771 Squadron from RNAS Culdrose for exceptional service for over 40 years #proud."

The bodies of four men were found near the town of Thandwe. Earlier a 94-year-old woman was confirmed killed.
Reports say terrified Muslims are hiding in fear of their lives. The renewed violence comes as President Thein Sein visits Rakhine.
Tensions between Buddhists and Muslims have risen in recent years in Burma, which is also known as Myanmar.
Violence which broke out in Rakhine in June 2012 left nearly 200 people dead and thousands displaced.
The unrest has since spread to other parts of the country.
The latest clashes appear to have started on Saturday after a Buddhist taxi driver near Thandwe complained he had been verbally abused by a Muslim.
This triggered attacks on property, and then physical assaults. Dozens of homes have been burned down. Witnesses said police did little to control the violence.
The 94-year-old woman was stabbed to death in Thapyuchai, about 20km (12 miles) north of Thandwe, police confirmed on Wednesday.
More than 700 Buddhist rioters, some armed with swords, attacked the village, setting buildings alight, the Associated Press reported. Families fled for their lives.
"Many of them, including women and children, are still hiding, and they are cornered and unable to come out," Muslim resident Myo Min told the news agency.
"They need food and water, and Muslim elders are discussing with authorities to evacuate them or send food."
AFP news agency reported that four Buddhists were injured in riots in a nearby village, while a fifth was missing. AP's report say two Buddhists are unaccounted for.
Thein Sein, who is making his first visit to Rakhine since last year's violence, arrived in Thandwe on Burma's coast on Wednesday. He is due to meet religious leaders from both communities.
What sparked the violence in June 2012?
The rape and murder of a young Buddhist woman in Rakhine in May, which set off a chain of deadly religious clashes.
Why was a state of emergency declared?
It allows the introduction of martial law, which means the military can take over administrative control of the region.
Who are the Rohingyas?
The United Nations describes them as a persecuted religious and linguistic minority from western Burma. The Burmese government, on the other hand, says they are relatively recent migrants from the Indian sub-continent. Neighbouring Bangladesh already hosts several hundred thousand refugees from Burma and says it cannot take any more.
Q&A: Rakhine unrest
Burma profile
He is credited with overseeing major reforms which have opened up Burma since the military handed power to a nominally civilian government two years ago.
But critics say the government has not done enough to stop the communal violence, which has seen hundreds of thousands of minority Muslims flee their homes.
"The president is the most responsible person in the country. Up until now, when Muslim people have been killed, their property destroyed, he's been silent," one man in Thandwe told AP.
Muslim and Buddhist communities remain largely segregated in the wake of last year's violence in Rakhine, with many Rohingya Muslims living in tents or temporary camps.
Rohingyas, whom the United Nations describes as a persecuted religious and linguistic minority from western Burma, are not recognised as Burmese citizens.

Jovenel Moise, a 48-year-old banana exporter, was sworn in at a ceremony at the National Assembly.
His predecessor, Michel Martelly, stood down a year ago at the end of his term, and was replaced by an interim president while rival political parties disputed the result of the elections.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Americas.
It is still struggling to recover from a series of natural disasters, including a devastating earthquake that hit the capital, Port au Prince, seven years ago.
Mr Moise, who has never before held public office, was appointed by Mr Martelly in 2015 as his preferred candidate.
He won the October 2015 poll, but the election was annulled for alleged fraud.
Mr Martelly left office in February 2016, at the end of his five-year-term, passing on power to Senate President Jocelerme Privert.
A new election was held in November.
It was delayed by a month because of Hurricane Matthew, which destroyed 90% of some of Haiti's southern areas at the beginning of October.
Mr Moise won in the first round, with some 55% of the vote against 20% for his closest rival, Jude Celestin.
But the result is still being contested by the opposition, which held protests outside the National Assembly building.
He is due to lay out his plans for the next five years in a speech later on Tuesday.
Mr Moise and former president Martelly are both members of the centre-right Parti Haitien Tet Kale (Haitian Bald Head Party).
Southend News Network's song "Dartford Tolls" has been viewed more than one million times on Facebook and YouTube.
Written by the site's creator, the ditty slams the Essex to Kent crossing's regular traffic jams and "extortionate" toll charges.
Southend News Network's "chief reporter" said the aim was to raise "as much money as possible" for charity.

The anonymous figure said he came up with the idea for a Christmas song after writing another tune earlier in the year called "Sometimes Our Pier's On Fire".
"I always try to base my fake stories around things people are passionate about," the "chief reporter" said.
"On Facebook and Twitter, people go nuts about the crossing - being held up, being charged so much.
"The whole song is based on the premise that the crossing should have been free after a few years. But here we are in 2016 and it costs more to use it than ever before."
The site teamed up with singer Annie Humphrey, who recorded the track, and a swear-word riddled version has so far clocked up 1.2 million hits.
Profits from the "clean" version, which has been released as a download, will be split between the British Heart Foundation and Shelter.
The "chief reporter" said he was "aware it would be a monumental task" to reach the number one spot in the charts.
"We're up against Sir Cliff [Richard] and Sir Terry [Wogan]!" he said.
"Southend News Network was started as a joke blog and I had no idea that it would reach this level.

The slippery customers are extremely sensitive to even the smallest change in water conditions and can die quickly if the farmer doesn't sort out any problem as soon as it occurs.
And in South Korea, where there are more than 450 eel farms, dead eels mean lost profit - one tank containing two tonnes of eels can be worth more than $63,000 (£41,500).
So local company SK Telecom has been piloting Smart Fish Farm, a hi-tech way to keep an eye on water quality in the fish tanks.
Sensors collect real-time data and transmit it wirelessly over the company's 4G mobile network to its central "internet of things" (IoT) Mobius platform.
Farmers receive emergency alerts to a Care4Fish app on their smartphones, enabling them to monitor the water quality remotely.
During trials over a period of three months, six wireless emergency alerts were issued to an eel farmer's smartphone, successfully preventing the loss of up to 12 tonnes of eels worth nearly $400,000.
SK Telecom plans to expand the project to different species of fish, and different countries.
"Eel farming is a high-profit business," said Moon Tae-hee, manager of the company's IoT Solution Business Team.
"However, it entails a high risk caused by the sensitive nature of eels. Lack of timely and appropriate management of the farming environment often leads to massive deaths of eels."
IoT technology may be associated more with the connected home and industrial sectors, but it is having a practical and profound effect on the food and farming sectors, as well.
IT company Cisco predicts that 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet by 2020.
In Indonesia, eFishery has designed an automatic "smart feeder" for fisheries that uses sensors to help farmers dispense the right amount of feed into the water.
The company claims these sensors, working in conjunction with a complex algorithm, can assess how hungry the fish are by measuring the rate at which the feed is depleted in the water.
Farmers receive real-time food consumption reports on their smartphones.
Boss Gibran Huzaifah says the technology cuts down on wastage and so reduces the cost of feeding fish by up to 21%.
The automated feeding units and sensors cost $700 each, and Mr Huzaifah says his company has received interest from countries like Thailand, Vietnam, China, India, Brazil and Kenya.
"In Indonesia itself, there more than five million farmers, and millions of farms and ponds. Each farm is at least one potential market for eFishery," he says.
And it's not just fish that can benefit from IoT tech - cows have for a long time been the focus of the latest technologies.
Along with fully-automated milking sheds, we now have tail-mounted sensors made by Irish company, Moocall.
These gather more than 600 pieces of data a second and can predict when a cow is most likely to give birth by measuring its tail movements.
Apparently cows flick their tails more the closer they are to calving.
This is important because a cow and its calf can often die during birth, mostly when the farmer is not present to help.
When Moocall founder Niall Austin lost a cow and a calf this way, he sought a solution to the problem.
"The only one he could find was an internal probe," says John Larkin, the firm's head of technology and marketing.
"He had noticed what a lot of other farmers had, that cows move their tails when they are about to calve, and he thought there was something non-invasive that could be done using that knowledge."
Moocall correctly predicts when a cow will calve 95% of the time, the company says.
Not only is this beneficial from an animal welfare point of view, it obviously saves the farmer money, given that a year-old calf can be worth about £1,000.
Farmers receive a simple text message identifying the individual cow that's about to calve, and the system can work over the basic GSM mobile network - 3G and 4G will come later says Mr Larkin.
Most sales have been made in the UK and Ireland, but Moocall has sold devices to farmers in the US, Canada, South Africa, and Europe.
At £199, and £89 per year after that, the sensors aren't cheap, but Mr Larkin argues that if the system significantly reduces animal mortality, it's "an excellent investment".
Some observers believes the food and agricultural markets are only just waking up to the potential of sensors and IoT.
Brian Geisel, boss of US IoT development firm Geisel Software, told the BBC: "I think there's a lot of things in the agricultural and fish markets they haven't even thought of yet because there was no way to do it. But now the tools are showing up.
"The reduction in cost of sensors means you can put one almost anywhere now. And hardware has got so much better at performance - five years ago it wasn't capable."
But concerns remain, notably with data security and the potential lack of interoperability between competing systems.
The reduction in the cost of sensors means you can put one almost anywhere now
Lack of understanding is also an issue.
"With any new technology it takes people a while to figure out how they can best leverage it," Mr Geisel says.
Mr Larkin agrees, saying the only problems Moocall ever encounters are not with the technology itself, but with the human operating it.
"We need to educate users on how to use the device - sometimes people put it on tight, for example," he says.
"Our demographic would not be the most tech savvy - not many of them even have email - but that is improving over time.
"Tech in agriculture is growing rapidly."
Ty Nant Cat Sanctuary in Cymmer was broken into on 30 July and an 18-year-old man and 15-year-old boy have been charged in connection with the alleged burglary.
Three of the cats were found dead while others are still missing.
More than 1,250 people have since donated to the GoFundMe page online.
The initial fundraising target was £1,000.
A spokesman wrote on the sanctuary Facebook page: "We have been astounded by the level of support we have received."
They are now appealing for help in searching for the missing five cats and are offering a £100 reward for their safe return.
They are looking for a tortoiseshell and white cat, three black and white cats and a large tabby cat.
Ty Nant Cat Sanctuary was set up in 1990 in response to the growing problem of unwanted, stray and abandoned cats in the area. Since then hundreds of cats and kittens have passed through its care.
They requested a closure order from Glasgow City Council's licensing board after a female clubber was found unconscious in the venue on Saturday.
The same night, officers also recorded 26 drug and alcohol-related incidents.
The licensing board rejected the police application after a lawyer for the Arches argued that a closure order was an inappropriate measure to deal with the areas of concern.
An emergency closure order was served by Police Scotland under the Licensing Scotland Act 2005.
An advocate for the Arches said this was only appropriate in relation to disorder and not into matters of alleged drug and alcohol-related incidents.
It was argued that these matters should be considered as part of a premises review procedure.
A premises review allows the licensing board wider scope for enforcement action which is judged against five conditions: preventing crime and disorder; securing public safety; preventing public nuisance; protecting and improving public health, and protecting children from harm.
If the licensing board decides to take action over breaches of these conditions it can either issue a written warning, vary the terms of the licence, suspend the licence or revoke it.
Councillor Bill Butler, the licensing board chairman, said: "After considering a preliminary motion from the licensee, the board was not satisfied that the closure order procedure was appropriate in this case.
"However, we recognise the serious concerns being raised by Police Scotland in relation to these premises.
"If an application is made for a review of this premises' licence, it will be prioritised by the board and considered at the earliest opportunity."
Last year the Arches announced it was raising its minimum age for admission to 21 after the suspected drug-related death of a teenage girl who fell ill there but the over 18's policy was later reinstated.
Regane MacColl, 17, died after becoming ill at the club last February. Police linked her death to an ecstasy-like "Mortal Kombat" tablet.

After losing the first leg of their semi-final 1-0 in Villarreal, Liverpool produced a dominant display at Anfield on Thursday to win 3-1 on aggregate.
"When you perform like we did then you want to have it all and that is what we will try," said Klopp.
"We will go there and try to do everything for this wonderful club."
The match - at St Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland - will be Liverpool's first European final since losing 2-1 to AC Milan in the Champions League in 2007.
The Reds have won eight of the 11 European finals they have appeared in - five of seven in the European Cup/Champions League and three of three in the Uefa Cup/Europa League.
Should they beat Sevilla, who are trying to win the Europa League for the third successive season, they will join the Spanish side as the most successful in the competition with four victories and earn a place in next season's Champions League.
"I don't know what it means that it is nine years between Liverpool's last final," said Klopp, who replaced Brendan Rodgers as manager in October.
"A lot of teams want to go to finals, it is not too easy, but it is a real opportunity and we will take the opportunity."
An early Bruno Soriano own goal set Liverpool on their way, before second-half strikes from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana completed victory over their Spanish opponents, who finished the match with 10 men after Victor Ruiz was sent off.
Liverpool, Champions League winners in 2005, were backed by impressive support from the moment the team bus arrived at the stadium.
Hundreds of fans packed Anfield Road to welcome their players and continued their vociferous support throughout the game.
Klopp says as many as 100,000 Liverpool fans could travel to Switzerland for the final, though FC Basel's stadium can only hold 35,000.
Klopp did not name a recognised striker in his starting line-up for the first leg, with Sturridge left on the bench.
However, he restored the England international to the first XI and was rewarded with an impressive performance.
Sturridge scored Liverpool's second after being the closest Reds player to Soriano when he put through his own net - and he was also involved in Lallana's goal.
Klopp said the 26-year-old had a "great game", adding: "When Daniel Sturridge is fit he is an unbelievable striker, but even he needs players to play with and I know about his quality, I knew before I came here. Great player."
Liverpool produced another memorable European performance at Anfield, after coming from 3-1 down to knock Borussia Dortmund out in the previous round.
It means Klopp is into his second final with the club since taking charge just seven months ago. They lost on penalties to Manchester City in the League Cup final in February.
"In 2016, the team have shown a lot of times what they could be capable of in the future so that's a good sign and that is more important for me as a manager," said Klopp.
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen said on BT Sport: "Over the last few months we've really seen something special.
"There's such high energy levels, the pressing we all knew Jurgen Klopp was going to bring over. But he's just improving players - the likes of Adam Lallana, Simon Mignolet and Dejan Lovren - as well.
"There's special times ahead. It's almost like they are unbeatable here. It's becoming a fortress."
The comedian and actor will discuss his work, commitment to comedy and how he has been affected by fatherhood.
He will be interviewed on stage by the co-host of his Radio X show, Matt Morgan.
He will follow in the footsteps of Catastrophe creator Sharon Horgan.
The interview is a sideways look at the industry, in contrast to the James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture, the biggest keynote address of the festival.
Last year it was given by vice founder and chief executive Shane Smith. This year's speaker is yet to be announced.
Lisa Campbell, director of the festival, said: "Thought-provoking, entertaining and with a delicious way with words, Russell is one of the most exciting creative mavericks around.
"Having Matt Morgan on board as someone who knows the complexities and inner workings of this titan of comedy, and who can give genuine insight into his creative brain, will make this one unmissable hour."
Other speakers due to appear at the festival include Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Line Of Duty creator Jed Mercurio and star Vicky McClure and former England footballer Rio Ferdinand.
The three-day event will also include discussions about fake news, podcasting and Snapchat.
The Edinburgh International Television Festival runs from 23 to 25 August.
According to media reports, the band members were held after a raid by police and immigration officers on a warehouse venue hosting their gig.
The founder of concert organisers Hidden Agenda was also arrested, the agency told the BBC.
The British Council said it was providing support to several British men who had been arrested in Hong Kong.
Hidden Agenda events have run into trouble in the past, often over licence issues.
Concert-goers posting on the promoters' Facebook page said about seven immigration officers came to detain the band members, citing issues with their work permits.
As the situation got more tense, several police cars arrived with officers in riot gear and police dogs, said the witnesses.
The three band members of TTNG, Hidden Agenda founder Hui Chung-wo and Mylets were then taken away by police and immigration officers.
Hidden Agenda told the BBC on Monday that Hui Chung-wo had been arrested, while the musicians had been released but were required to check in with the immigration authorities later in the day.
Hong Kong police confirmed to the BBC that several detentions had been made at the venue but would not give further details.
Under Hong Kong immigration law, the band members could be charged with working without the required permit, while the concert agency could be charged with hiring the bands as illegal workers.
Both offences can be punished with prison sentences of several years and hefty fines.
TTNG and Mylets are currently in the middle of a tour of Asia with upcoming dates on Tuesday in Guangzhou, followed by concerts in Beijing and Shanghai.
Sir Martin Moore-Bick's inquiry will "go right back to the construction of the tower" in the 1970s to examine warnings that may have been missed.
He said previously it was unlikely the inquiry would look at wider social issues in Kensington and Chelsea.
The remit of the inquiry will be decided by the prime minister.
But residents will be consulted, a series of meetings is being planned and a document setting out a list of questions is being prepared.
Sir Martin was said to be "open-minded" about the breadth of the inquiry - "he's not just looking at the physics and chemistry" of the fire, the source said.
It is likely to consider in detail whether the nature of the building regulations contributed to the fire, but it is unlikely the impact of the regulations elsewhere in the country will be part of its scope.
Residents have said they are concerned the inquiry will not go far enough and have threatened to pull out if their concerns are not met.
Theresa May is expected to make a statement to the House of Commons on the remit before the parliamentary recess in three weeks' time.
At least 80 people are thought to have died in the fire at Grenfell Tower in North Kensington, west London, on 14 June.
Police have warned that the final death toll will not be known until at least the end of the year and appealed for the public to come forward with any information about those who were inside at the time.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid confirmed on Monday that no-one who was illegally subletting flats in Grenfell Tower would face prosecution.
In a statement, he told MPs: "There may have been people living in flats that were illegally sublet who have no idea about the true status of their tenancy.
"Their families want to know if they perished in the fire. These are their sons, their daughters, their brothers, their sisters. They need closure and it's the least that they deserve.
"But that can't happen unless we have the information we need, so we are urging anyone with that information to come forward and to do so as quickly as they can."
Mr Javid said there continued to be a 100% failure rate for combustibility tests on cladding from 181 other high-rise blocks so far.
He told MPs that the testing process had been independently reviewed and found to be "sound" and that the findings of the review had been published.
Mr Javid said it was right that the leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council, Nick Paget-Brown, had resigned following criticism of the authority's handling of the tragedy.
The Kensington and Chelsea Conservative group announced on Monday that it had chosen Elizabeth Campbell as its new leader.
Ms Campbell, who is expected to be confirmed in the role on 19 July, apologised for the council's handling of the fire.
In her first statement since her selection, she said: "This is our community and we have failed it when people needed us the most. So, no buts, no ifs, no excuses. I am truly sorry."
Westminster City Council director of housing Barbara Brownlee said 126 families had been offered accommodation, 10 needed to be offered homes, and there were a number of families who were not yet ready to work with the council at all.
Meanwhile, some of the survivors have written a letter to the prime minister with 12 demands for changes in the way the disaster is being handled.
These include:
BMElawyers4Grenfell, a group of black and minority ethnic lawyers, wrote the letter on behalf of some of the survivors.
It followed a meeting at the House of Commons last week arranged by shadow home secretary Diane Abbott, and attended by shadow justice minister Richard Burgon, Labour MP for Kensington Emma Dent Coad and Labour MP for Tottenham David Lammy.
Referring to Sir Martin, Ismet Rawat, president of the Association of Muslim Lawyers, said: "He stated that his remit would be extremely narrow so people are thinking: 'This is going to be a bit of a whitewash, we don't have confidence in it.'."
Seyyed Rasta Mir-Feyzi, 23, was hit by a white BMW in Great North Leisure Park in Finchley on 31 May at 20:30 BST.
He was taken to hospital by London Air Ambulance but was pronounced dead the following day.
Haaris Rama, 21 of Stainby Close, West Drayton, and Yasir Inrahim, 21 of Maddison Close, East Finchley, were due to appear at Hendon Magistrates' Court.
Mr Rama was also charged with driving whilst disqualified.
A post-mortem examination found Mr Mir-Feyzi died from a head injury.
The Shrimpers had midfielder Will Atkinson sent off in the 34th minute and the Lions took full advantage to secure all three points.
The home side had the better of the first half with Steve Morison and Aiden O'Brien both going close to scoring before the visitors were reduced to 10 men when Atkinson was sent off by referee Andre Marriner for a late challenge on Millwall skipper Tony Craig.
Southend initially held firm and momentarily threatened when Michael Timlin sliced Anthony Wordsworth's right-wing cross wide of the left post.
But Millwall made the breakthrough in the 62nd minute when Shaun Cummings' right-wing cross was missed by Southend defender Jason Demetriou at the far post, enabling Onyedinma to head the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
The Shrimpers were unable to get back into the game but had strong shouts for a penalty waved away in the closing stages when Jermaine McGlashan appeared to be hauled down in the box by Craig.

After Sunday's defeat by Armagh in the first round of the All-Ireland qualifiers, McGrath said his management team would think things over.
This year Fermanagh lost to Monaghan in the preliminary round of the Ulster Championship, and were relegated to Division Three in the league.
"We will take a few days and then make a decision," said McGrath.
"You have to make a decision which is going to be best for everyone - the players, the county and myself.
"We will look at the whole landscape.
"If we decide to go, we'll go. If we decide to stay it is up to the county board if they want us."
McGrath accepted 2017 had been the worst of his four-year spell as Fermanagh manager.
However, the former Down manager has his backers who believe he has done a creditable job, including taking the Erne county to the All-Ireland quarter-finals two years ago.
Khaled al-Asaad had been held for about a month by the group, which seized the Unesco World Heritage site in May.
The 81-year-old's family informed Syria's director of antiquities Maamoun Abdul Karim that he had been beheaded.
Mr Karim said IS militants had tried to extract information from Mr Asaad about where some treasures were hidden.
He described Mr Asaad as "one of the most important pioneers in Syrian archaeology in the 20th Century".
The murder has been denounced as a "horrific act" by Unesco, the UN cultural organisation.
"They killed him because he would not betray his deep commitment to Palmyra," Unesco Director General Irina Bokova said in a statement.
"His work will live on far beyond the reach of these extremists," she said. "They murdered a great man, but they will never silence history."
IS has demolished several ancient sites in Iraq, and there are fears that it will destroy Palmyra, one of the archaeological jewels of the Middle East.
The Syrian state news agency, Sana, and the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Mr Asaad had been beheaded on Tuesday at a square outside the museum in the modern town next to the ruins, also known as Tadmur, in front of dozens of people.
Photos apparently showing Mr Asaad's body tied to what appears to be a lamp-post adjoining a main road have been circulated online by IS supporters. His severed head was placed underneath it.
A sign attached to the body accused him of being an apostate who was in regular communication with and supported the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
He was also accused of representing Syria at overseas conferences with "infidels", in addition to being director of Palmyra's "idols".
The summary killing was one of several that have been carried out by IS in and around Palmyra since they took the city in May.
Mr Asaad spent most of his life working to promote and protect Palmyra.
He was in charge of the site for four decades until 2003, when he retired. He then worked as an expert with the antiquities and museums department.

Jihadists in Palmyra were looking for "stores of gold" in the city, Mr Karim said, [but] "I deny wholeheartedly that these stores exist".
Mr Karim described Mr Asaad as "a scholar", while denouncing the presence of IS in Palmyra as "a curse and a bad omen" on the city and "every column and every archaeological piece in it".
Abdalrazzaq Moaz, co-director of cultural heritage initiatives at the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR), told the BBC that Mr Asaad had devoted his entire life to the site and died trying to protect it.
Since overrunning Palmyra, IS has destroyed a second century statue of a lion and two nearby Islamic shrines, which it described as "manifestations of polytheism".
The group also released a video in July showing some 20 captured government soldiers being shot dead at Palmyra's theatre.
Syrian government forces have sought to drive IS out of the Palmyra area in recent months and there has been fierce fighting in nearby towns.
Also on Wednesday, new images were posted online appearing to show IS "religious police" vandalising ancient artefacts in the northern Iraqi province of Nineveh.
Unesco's statement said that Mr Asaad's death was part of two intense blows within a week that had been endured by Syria's cultural heritage community.
It said that Qasem Abdullah Yehiya, a senior member of the Directorate-General of Antiquities and Museums, was also reported to have been killed in a rocket attack on the Citadel of Damascus last week.

Unfortunately, few of us are lucky enough to have a chocolate factory full of non-union Oompa Loompas (Wonka seems to play fast and loose with anti-human trafficking laws) to help you get your idea to market.
But, what you do have that dubious employers like Mr Wonka don't, is the power of the internet. And fewer trips to the dentist.
Jake Zien is a 24-year-old designer from Milwaukee who now lives in New York, where he works for a tech start-up.
He is also a successful inventor. His product, the Pivot Power, is a strip plug that bends. He had help from over 700 other people - many of whom were strangers - who all get some share in the profits.
Mr Zien has made over $350,000 so far.
He is just one of a community of people who are part of Quirky - a platform where people collaborate to produce new products that the company manufactures and sells.
"I joined Quirky back in 2010 after a family friend told me he'd read about the company in an in-flight magazine," says Mr Zien.
"The friend, an intellectual property lawyer, had been consulting with me for some time about developing my idea for a flexible power strip.
"He mentioned that Quirky purported to do exactly what I needed - to be the missing piece that's needed to turn a nascent idea into a commercially available product. I joined the site and submitted my idea a week later."
He believes being able to work on his idea with others made it a commercial success.
"It was Quirky that did the overwhelming majority of the work, and I see the product's success as a "perfect storm" combination of factors, such as my timing in submitting the idea, rather than a complete testament to the quality of the submission."
The company has been operating for four years, and now has a community of around 400,000 people.
"We can get anything from bar napkin sketches to patented and prototyped ideas," says Quirky's Bret Kovacs.
The community gives feedback on the idea, then every Thursday the Quirky team have a meeting which is streamed live, where they decide on which ideas to take forward.
The community and the company then work together to make the products a reality.
The inventor and those who have influenced development get a share of 30% of sales from the Quirky website, or 10% from items sold elsewhere.
But the company has bigger ambitions.
They are in the process of launching a new partnership with US mega-corporation GE, which they hope will change the way patents are used.
GE is giving the Quirky community access to patents and technologies with the express purpose of letting people tinker with them and find innovative new uses.
"Just for too long, patents have been misused and really misunderstood, the only places you really hear about patents today are in the court of law," says Mr Kovacs.
"Our goal with partnering with GE on this front is really to bring patents back to their original intended use. Certainly they are meant to protect the inventor, but what's really important about patents is they are meant to inspire."
Quirky is not alone in wanting to bring patents full circle. They were originally intended not only to stop ideas being stolen, but also to foster innovation and help others improve on existing technology.
The patent process was a sort of a quid pro quo because to get protection for your idea you had to be transparent about the details.
Those following the latest Apple/Samsung court battle, or the infamous patent trolls that have sprung up in recent years, could be forgiven for thinking it was about stifling innovation instead.
Marblar is a new UK start-up founded by three PhD students busy dusting off unused patents held by universities and other institutions and finding new uses for them. In other words, it finds problems that fit solutions that already exist.
Rather than Quirky's consumer focus, this is about hard science.
"As scientists we saw that a huge amount of science never gets commercialised," says chief executive Daniel Perez.
"Often this is because the application might not be obvious. Imagine if you're in the Oxford physics department, and you develop a cool new laser. Your intention was to use it in satellites, but when you're done the gold standard happens to be much better.
"The technology's already patented, it's been published, but you know other people aren't incentivised to take a look at this laser and to think of new ways it could be used," he says.
Building a crowdsourcing platform seemed an obvious way to find new ideas, according to Mr Perez.
The team take an existing patent and break it down.
"We don't just post the patents because certainly a life science researcher couldn't understand laser physics [for example] anyway. We ask people from a variety of different backgrounds very simple questions - what would you do with this technology?"
Each project is run as a competition. About two-thirds of the way through, a short-list of finalists is drawn up. At the end there is a winner, chosen by the patent-holder, as well as a winner chosen by the crowd.
Prizes ranging from $1,000 up to $25,000 are awarded as well as community points, called marbles.
A recent project took a small laser - or spectrophotometer - designed to be used on a Mars rover - and found a new use for it as a breath analyser that could diagnose and track people with liver disease based on levels of ammonia found in their breath.
So is cash enough of an incentive?
"What we've found is that the prize money isn't the biggest motivator for people," says Mr Perez.
"They're in it because they want to chew on interesting technology and they want to see something get realised."
Nevertheless, although the company is less than a year old, they have plans to make participation worth potentially much more.
"We're actually going to be putting seed [funding] rounds around some of the concepts that are moving through Marblar," he says.
This would be good news for the competition winner as well as Marblar. They will both have an equity stake in the new company, says Mr Perez.
"Without having put any money in, from having an idea about how to use someone else's technology, it's a quick way to own a piece of the next big thing."
The Labour leader said he was hoping for a vote to Remain, but said this was "not unconditional by any means".
On a Sky News Q&A he said the EU was needed to tackle climate change and solve the refugee crisis - but called for it to change "dramatically" and become more "democratic".
He also said EU state aid rules would not prevent a Labour government from nationalising Britain's railways.
Plans put forward by Brussels would open up domestic networks to cross-border competition by December 2019, with mandatory tendering of contracts.
Unions say this would scupper Mr Corbyn's commitment to bring the railways back into public ownership - but he said Labour would fulfil its pledge if elected - "and if that means an argument, then we'll have that argument".
Vote Leave said the EU would "have the final say" on whether Mr Corbyn could get his way.
The UK votes on Thursday on whether to remain in the European Union or to leave.
There has been a renewed push in recent weeks by the Remain side to appeal to Labour voters, amid fears the party's core supporters are drifting towards Leave.
Mr Corbyn, who has previously expressed Eurosceptic views, said he was "not a lover" of the EU which he said needed to change to "share our wealth and improve our living standards and our working conditions all across the whole continent".
Asked if he would shoulder some of the blame if Britain votes to leave, he replied: "I'm not going to take the blame for people's decisions.
"There will be a decision made on Thursday.
"I'm hoping there is going to be a Remain vote, there may well be a Remain vote, there may well be a Leave vote."
Told he did not sound "too keen" on the EU, he replied: "Whatever the result, we have got to work with it."
Mr Corbyn told the audience of young voters the referendum was "a big decision".
"If we stay in Europe there are implications; if we leave Europe there are massive implications."
He criticised the proposed EU-US trade deal, saying it would "import the worst working conditions and standards from the US into Europe", and said Europe "shields tax havens".
However, he said that issues like climate change and the refugee crisis could only be tackled "across national borders".
He added: "I want to remain in Europe in order to work with others to change it."
Mr Corbyn also said he wanted to join other nations in challenging rules preventing state aid to the steel industry, saying national governments should be "assertive".
Vote Leave said leaving the EU was the way to help the UK's steel industry, adding that Brussels "works for elites but not for working families".
The main risk factors for the disease are a lack of exercise, smoking, depression and poor education, it says.
Previous research from 2011 put the estimate at one in two cases, but this new study takes into account overlapping risk factors.
Alzheimer's Research UK said age was still the biggest risk factor.
Writing in The Lancet Neurology, the Cambridge team analysed population-based data to work out the main seven risk factors for Alzheimer's disease.
These are:
They worked out that a third of Alzheimer's cases could be linked to lifestyle factors that could be modified, such as lack of exercise and smoking.
The researchers then looked at how reducing these factors could affect the number of future Alzheimer's cases.
They found that by reducing each risk factor by 10%, nearly nine million cases of the disease could be prevented by 2050.
In the UK, a 10% reduction in risk factors would reduce cases by 8.8%, or 200,000, by 2050, they calculated.
Current estimates suggest that more than 106 million people worldwide will be living with Alzheimer's by 2050 - more than three times the number affected in 2010.
Prof Carol Brayne, from the Institute of Public Health at the University of Cambridge, said: "Although there is no single way to treat dementia, we may be able to take steps to reduce our risk of developing dementia at older ages.
"We know what many of these factors are, and that they are often linked.
"Simply tackling physical inactivity, for example, will reduce levels of obesity, hypertension and diabetes, and prevent some people from developing dementia.
"As well as being healthier in old age in general, it's a win-win situation."
Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said there was still much to discover about the disease.
"While age is the biggest risk factor for most cases of Alzheimer's, there are a number of lifestyle and general health factors that could increase or decrease a person's chances of developing the disease.
"However, we still do not fully understand the mechanisms behind how these factors are related to the onset of Alzheimer's."
Dr Ridley said there were more than 820,000 people in the UK living with dementia, and an ageing population would lead to spiralling numbers being affected.
"As there is still no certain way to prevent Alzheimer's, research must continue to build the strongest evidence around health and environmental factors to help individuals reduce their risk."
He added: "This new study also highlights that many cases are not due to modifiable risk factors which underlines the need to drive investment into new treatment research."
Of the seven risk factors, the largest proportion of cases of Alzheimer's in the US, UK and the rest of Europe can be attributed to physical inactivity.
The study says about a third of the adult population in these countries are physically inactive.
Physical inactivity is also linked to increased risks of other health problems, such as cancers and cardiovascular diseases.
Mr Bale failed to get re-elected as Labour leader - and thereby council leader - a week ago with the vote tied.
But on Monday he was re-elected despite a challenge by councillor Lynda Thorne.
Mr Bale told BBC Wales he was "happy with the result" and "excited about the city's future".
Opposition councillors have previously called for him to resign and several people within his own party felt he should have stepped down.
The Llanishen councillor survived a vote of no confidence in March after he struggled to pass his budget.
This shouldn't come as a total surprise, since a glance at the past six months of polls show that every time it looks like Mr Trump is going to surpass his Democratic opponent in the standings, the trend reverses itself.
The American people, perhaps, could never quite get their heads around the prospect of a Trump presidency, and countervailing forces asserted themselves every time it looks like that might be a reality.
If that's the case here, then the timing may be just right for a comfortable Clinton win.
None of the polls, of course, take account of how voters are reacting to the FBI clearing Clinton of criminality on the latest batch of emails. Here's my blog on how that twist may impact the election.
Who is ahead in the polls?
48%
Hillary Clinton
44%
Donald Trump
These are the latest predictions from the number crunchers at some US media:
New York Times Upshot: Clinton has 84% chance of winning
FiveThirtyEight: Clinton has 65% chance
HuffPost: Clinton has 98% chance
Of course, the US election isn't won based on national preferences, it's a state-by-state slog to reach 270 electoral votes. The latest round of battleground polling shows there are still just enough toss-up states to allow Mr Trump to win the presidency.
To prevail the Republican would have to either clear the table when it comes to these states or post a surprise win in a place like Pennsylvania, Michigan or Virginia, where polling shows Mrs Clinton ahead.
Such a shoot-the-moon scenario is certainly possible, and it could be aided by polling that underestimates white voter turnout or overestimates Mrs Clinton's support in key constituencies like blacks and the young.
For this to become a reality, however, Mr Trump would essentially have to be perfect or polling would have to be off in a variety of disparate states that have decidedly different electorates. An error in New Hampshire polling, for instance, wouldn't mean expectations in Florida would be more likely to be wrong. A miss in Michigan would have little bearing on the fate of Colorado.
Mr Trump would also have to count on the evidence of massive Hispanic turnout in early voting not panning out when votes are counted on Tuesday night.
Heading into election day, the Clinton team has reason for cautious optimism. A Trump win at this point would have to be considered a modest (but far from unprecedented) upset.

Peter MacDonald and JP McGovern had been in interim charge at Broadwood since March, following the resignation of Barry Ferguson.
The pair kept the struggling Bully Wee in Scottish League Two.
But while both applied to manage Clyde on a permanent basis, ex-Albion Rovers striker Chapman, 51, was chosen to lead the club forward.
The new boss won numerous domestic honours with Kilmarnock Ladies in his first managerial role, and later guided Dumbarton to the League Two title.
Chapman leaves fellow League Two side Annan after a third-placed finish this season, and a play-off semi-final defeat by Forfar Athletic.
He also led the club to a famous Scottish Cup victory over Premiership side Hamilton Academical in January 2016.
"The board has just completed a rigorous appointment process and Jim was one of a most impressive list of candidates interested in the post," Clyde chairman Norrie Innes said in a statement.
"Over the years, Jim has contributed a lot to the game and sport in general and this has largely been within the environment of the very demanding lower leagues. He now has the appetite for a fresh challenge.
"Jim has left Annan Athletic - and the many good people at a fine club - to help Clyde progress to a higher level. He demonstrated a very strong desire to join Clyde and this was very important to us.
"I would also like to thank all those who applied for the position, especially Peter MacDonald and Jon Paul McGovern who both have very real qualities that will serve them well in the future."
The collision, involving two cars, happened on the N13 at Moyle.
Another man has been taken to hospital in Londonderry.
The area has been sealed off by police as emergency services attend the scene.
The consumer group made its findings to the Assembly's enterprise committee.
It said the restrictions could include higher charges, longer delivery times and refusal to deliver to NI.
The Consumer Council said while the level of exclusion was similar to other UK peripheral areas, it was 10 times higher than any other region in the UK.
Speaking about the research Kellin McCloskey, head of postal services at the Consumer Council, said: "Online shopping is becoming increasing popular, with over a third of NI consumers shopping online at least once a month.
"However, delivery restrictions can exclude some potential online shoppers from this increasingly important market, with NI consumers impacted particularly heavily.
"With only half of online retailers offering the same delivery service across the UK, regardless of location, many NI consumers can find themselves out of pocket, paying more for the delivery of their purchases.
"In instances where free and standard delivery were withdrawn for Northern Ireland addresses consumers could end up paying on average £10.00 for 'free' delivery or an additional £2.71 for 'standard' delivery."
Ms McCloskey said cost was not the "only factor" and said one in five retailers indicated that delivery times would vary and almost a fifth of retailers withdrew some of the delivery options available.
"The Consumer Council plans to work in partnership with politicians, eRetailers and other UK consumer organisations, to help raise awareness of these issues and seek solutions to ensure these they are addressed," she said.
Chairperson of the committee for enterprise, trade & investment, Patsy McGlone, said, "The committee considers it grossly unfair to local consumers that over a third of online retailers either do not deliver to Northern Ireland addresses or impose restrictions on what they will deliver here.
It is of particular concern that this is happening within a single EU member state at a time when the EU Commission has plans in place for a digital single market and growth in e-commerce across all member states."
Mr McGlone said the committee would "welcome the opportunity" to work with the Scottish Parliament or any of the devolved institutions to help resolve this problem for the benefit of all consumers.
Saturday's 2-0 loss at Bloomfield Road left the Shrimpers eight points outside the play-offs with six games remaining.
"I can't fault the effort, what I can fault is the quality in the final third," Brown told BBC Essex.
"When you step up a division you need to step up your quality."
Second-half goals from Blackpool's Mark Cullen and Jacob Blyth means Brown's men have won just one of their last four games - last Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Sheffield United.
"We asked questions but they weren't serious questions," Brown added. "Consequently we've come away with nothing. You can hear the disappointment in my voice.
"I don't play mind games. I really thought two games ago it (the play-offs) was off and one game ago it was on again."
The ceremony at the Monastery of St Mina took place under heavy security.
At least 45 people were killed in the bombings targeting St Mark's Cathedral in Alexandria and St George's Church in the Nile Delta city of Tanta on Sunday.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi declared a three-month state of emergency across Egypt in response.
He ordered troops to be deployed to protect "vital infrastructure" and warned of a "long and painful" war against jihadists, who have killed hundreds of people in the country in the past four years.
Hundreds attended the funeral of some of the 17 people who died when a bomber blew himself up after being stopped by police at the gates of St Mark's Cathedral, where Pope Tawadros II led a Palm Sunday service.
Priests in flowing, dark robes stood before a line of coffins marked with the word "martyr", and the building was filled with the prayers and chanting.
Many of the mourners expressed outrage at the state's failure to protect Copts from attacks by IS, which threatened in February to escalate its campaign against them.
"Where should we go pray? They are attacking us in our churches. They don't want us to pray but we will pray," Samira Adly, whose neighbours died in the attack, told Reuters news agency.
"Everyone is falling short... the government, the people... nothing is good."
Youths who gathered outside the monastery during the funeral shouted "Down with any president as long as Egyptian blood is cheap" and "Down with military rule", according to Reuters.
A cousin of one of the 28 people killed in the attack in Tanta, where the suicide bomber managed to get inside St George's Church, also expressed anger at the failure to keep the congregation safe on an important day in the Christian calendar.
"How did the bomb enter when there's security outside the church? They're saying now the metal detector wasn't working," said Beshoy Asham.
The attacks raised security fears ahead of a visit to Cairo by Pope Francis, the head of the Roman Catholic Church.
But Archbishop Angelo Becciu, the Vatican's deputy secretary of state, insisted on Monday that there was "no doubt" that the trip would go ahead on 28 and 29 April.
"What happened caused disorder and tremendous suffering, but it cannot stop the pope's mission of peace," he told Italy's Corriere della Sera newspaper.
Egypt's cabinet meanwhile gave its backing to President Sisi's declaration of a nationwide state of emergency, saying the security forces would "do what is necessary to confront the threats of terrorism and its financing".
The cabinet said the state of emergency came into effect at 13:00 (11:00 GMT), but the decision must still be approved by parliament within seven days.
Analysts said the decision was a political one because the security forces already enjoy wide-ranging powers that they have used to crush dissent since Mr Sisi led the military's overthrow of Egypt's first democratically elected president in 2013.
More than 1,000 people, most of them supporters of Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood, have been killed and tens of thousands imprisoned.

"I'm happy with it," she added. "Obviously left a few out there. I think I can go get them tomorrow."

A court in Paris ruled that the internet search firm's Irish subsidiary was not liable for tax in France.
Google employs 700 people in France, but advertising contracts sold for display in France are booked through its subsidiary in low-tax Ireland.
In 2015 the company paid just 6.7m euros in corporate taxes in France.
The court was advised that Google did not have a "permanent establishment" or sufficient taxable presence in France to justify the bill.
"Google Ireland Ltd isn't taxable in France over the period 2005-2010" the court said in a statement.
European authorities have become increasingly tough on American technology giants including Google and its parent company Alphabet.
In June the EU fined Google a record 2.4bn euro for abusing its dominant position in the search engine business.
France's newly elected administration, led by Emmanuel Macron, has also reiterated the intention to pursue international companies they perceive as not paying their fair share of tax.
Italian and British authorities have struck deals with Google to reclaim some of the tax they believe the search giant owed. But the figures agreed were much smaller, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars rather than the $1.3bn claimed by France.
The 18-year-old was attacked on Saturday while she walked along a path off Haslett Avenue East in Three Bridges, West Sussex.
Detectives are going through the CCTV to see if it shows the victim or her attacker prior to the assault.
Officers are also carrying out house-to-house inquiries in the area.
Det Insp Paddy Mayers said: "I'm grateful to those people who have contacted us but I'm sure there are many more who will have passed the victim in Haslett Avenue East or Worth Road and could have seen her.
"They may have also seen the attacker. If you were driving in the area at about 23:00 BST on Saturday and saw anything at all, please contact us.
"You might think what you can tell us is of little importance but it could prove vital to our investigation."
Sussex Police said the victim, who was wearing a white cardigan and grey tracksuit bottoms, was found "staggering" along the road by a passer-by shortly before 23:30.
She was treated by paramedics and taken to a specialist unit that supports victims of rape and sexual assault.

Cheltenham Town boss Gary Johnson told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
"It was a dull game, a boring game, I don't like to use that word, but I thought it was dead.
"I thought the pitch was dead, I thought the supporters were dead and I thought the players were dead as well."
"There was no real quality in the game and Gateshead had the better chances.
"It feels like a loss, but it wasn't - and we're hoping that this is a punch on the nose for the lads and we come out fighting."
Officers were called to Shrewsbury Road, Liverpool, at 23:30 BST on Saturday after reports he was found on a street.
The man was taken to hospital where he later died. A post-mortem examination is due to take place today and he is yet to be formally identified.
A 24-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in custody.
The capital's airport is situated on the north side about six miles outside the capital. But on the iOS 6 map application its position is given as a farm in Dundrum, three miles south of the city.
Airfield is a 35-acre estate which sits in the Irish Justice Minister Alan Shatter's constituency.
The error led him to issue a statement.
"I know on occasion mistakes can be made and I am surprised to discover that Airfield has, in Apple's new operating system iOS 6 maps application, been designated with the image of an aircraft," he said.
"Airfield, a 35-acre estate with working farm, formal gardens and cafe is of course a famous and immensely popular, important local amenity.
"Clearly the designation is not only wrong but is dangerously misleading in that it could result in a pilot, unfamiliar with the area, in an emergency situation and without other available information, attempting a landing.
"I have arranged that Apple be informed of the error and requested that it be urgently corrected.
"In context of Airfield there are a variety of possible alternative images that could be utilised such a cow, a goat, a sheep, a flower or any indeed other type of plant as Airfield operates a nursery.
"An aircraft is an entirely inappropriate flight of imagination."
Dublin Airport later took to Twitter to reassure its followers.
"Just in case anybody is confused Dublin Airport is not moving to the southside. #mapfail," it tweeted.
And Apple has not just been confusing airports. It has also misplaced the city's zoo.
It is situated in the grounds of Phoenix Park in the west of the city but the company's mapping mistake means it is showing up in Temple Bar - an enclave in the city centre, full of bars and nightclubs.
Some jokers have asked if anyone would notice the difference between the party animals and the inhabitants of the zoo.
Many users in the Republic of Ireland and further afield have failed to see the funny side.
They've taken to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other social media networks to mock the failings of the mapping application.
Apple said it appreciated all the customer feedback it was receiving about the app and would work hard to improve it.
The company decided to develop its own mapping software after deciding it no longer wanted to use Google's equivalent.
Apple's own system has been created using data from navigation firm TomTom and others.
In a statement, Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said the launch of Apple Maps was a major undertaking for the firm. | Haiti has sworn in a new president after a political crisis that has lasted more than a year.

The former England prop was not initially selected for the trip to Australia four years ago, but was called up as an injury replacement.
He went on to play a starring role in the third Test win over the Wallabies.
"It's a long way to go before you get to those Tests," Corbisiero, 28, said.
The tour, which runs from 3 June to 8 July, features three Tests against the All Blacks, who are world champions.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 live's Rugby Union Weekly podcast, he added: "My advice to anyone who hasn't been selected is to stay ready and train like you are going, because you never know what is going to happen."
After missing out on Lions selection, Corbisiero went on tour to Argentina with England before being called into the Lions squad as cover for Ireland's Cian Healy.
"I felt like I was good enough to go on the tour, but I remember watching the announcement and deep down it did hurt," he added.
"I had a little bit of a sulk, a little bit of grieving, but then I used it as fire to make sure I trained harder. My last few games for London Irish, I went out there to try and put performances in and try and show I was a Test player.
"I genuinely trained as hard as I could, like I was going to go [on the Lions tour]. I went to Argentina and then I got the call. I turned up on that tour and in my head I was determined to prove I deserved to be there from the start."
Corbisiero also backed his former Northampton team-mate Dylan Hartley to recover from his Lions omission.
Hooker Hartley was one of a number of high-profile players to miss out on Warren Gatland's 41-man squad and will now captain England in Argentina this summer.
"Unfortunately Dylan has had to swallow a few tough pills before," Corbisiero added.
"A lot of the time they were maybe self-inflicted wounds, but this is one where he has actually not been selected, and it's not down to something he did, so it might be a new experience for him.
"But at the same time he is a very resilient character and he is strong willed. He is going to Argentina, he is going to be playing, he is going to be fit and ready, and there is probably a good chance he is going to be on that Lions tour."
The infection has seen patients at Carlisle's Cumberland Infirmary suffer vomiting and diarrhoea.
The outbreak is understood to have started after a visitor attended a ward with symptoms of the virus.
In a bid to halt a further spread, hospital bosses have asked people to avoid seeing friends and family if they are unwell themselves.
Restrictions may be imposed if the situation does not improve, they added.
Anyone who has shown symptoms of the highly contagious infection within the past 48 hours is asked not to visit patients.
Known as the winter vomiting bug, it affects between 600,000 and one million people in the United Kingdom annually.
Health officials say it is normally a short-lived, self-limiting infection from which people will usually recover within 12 to 60 hours.
Michael Karkoc, 98, is accused of ordering the killing of 44 Poles while he allegedly led a unit in the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defence Legion.
Polish prosecutor Robert Janicki said that evidence collected from years of investigation confirmed his identity "100%".
Mr Karkoc's family has denied he was involved in any war crimes.
The success and regrets of Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff
Prosecutors from the Polish government-affiliated National Remembrance Institute have asked a regional court in Lublin to issue a warrant for Mr Karkoc's arrest.
If granted, Poland would seek to extradite Mr Karkoc to face trial.
"He is our suspect as of today," Mr Janicki said.
The Minneapolis resident is accused of killing civilians in the villages of Chlaniow and Wladyslawin in July 1944.
If convicted, he could face life in prison.
Mr Karkoc was previously investigated by German authorities in 2013 after the Associated Press reported he was a former Nazi commander in the SS-led unit, which was accused of burning villages and killing civilians in Poland.
The investigation was halted in 2015 after prosecutors said they received "comprehensive medical documentation" showing he was not fit to stand trial.
Mr Karkoc's son, Andriy Karkoc, said his father was not in Poland and was not behind any war crimes.
He said that stories about his father are "misinformation or disinformation" created by Russian President Vladimir Putin's government.
Efraim Zuroff, a top Nazi hunter at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, commended Polish authorities for taking legal action.
Mr Zuroff told the AP that "it's high time that the Poles became more active seeking people who committed crimes in World War Two on Polish soil".
A consortium of farmers wants to use carrots, maize and manure to produce gas for the National Grid.
But the owners of nearby Wheelgate Park and White Post Farm and residents of Farnsfield believe the odour could affect their lives and income.
At a meeting the consortium assured villagers they would work to keep the smells to a minimum.
Anaerobic digesters use organic waste pumped into a sealed container to produce power from methane gas.
Fresh Growers, the farmers' consortium, predicts it would produce enough electricity for 1,200 homes and enough gas for 2,400 homes, roughly the size of nearby Farnsfield village.
Meeting locals at a Farnsfield pub, developers admitted they would have to work to convince many.
Chair of the consortium, Bill Eastwood, said: "You cannot smell what is going on in the digester and the only thing which smells naturally is the mature and that will be delivered in sealed lorries.
"The material which comes out will smell like silage, which is a country smell and not invasive."
The plant is about 500 metres from family attractions Wheelgate Park, an outdoor fun fair, and White Post Farm, an animal petting centre.
White Post co-owner Simon Rouse said: "I am worried because it is an unknown. If there is a smell, the visitors will smell it. If they smell it, they won't come and that is 70 jobs gone."
The plans will be considered by the county council later in the year.
Kurdish peshmerga forces are said to have seized control of production facilities at Bai Hassan and Kirkuk.
Kurdish MPs withdrew from Iraq's central government, after Prime Minister Nouri Maliki accused the Kurds of harbouring extremists.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari - a senior Kurdish figure - said Mr Maliki should apologise for his remark.
If the prime minister did not withdraw his comments, the Kurds would find it extremely difficult to work with him, Mr Zebari told the BBC.
Meanwhile, the number of people killed in a car bombing on the outskirts of Kirkuk has risen to 30.
The attack took place on Friday, when a suicide bomber's vehicle struck a petrol tanker at a checkpoint to the south of the city.
The road is used by refugees fleeing violence in the rest of Iraq for the relative safety of the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region. Police officers and civilians were among the dead.
Kurdish forces have moved into areas of north-western Iraq abandoned by the Iraqi army during the advance of Islamist insurgents led by the Isis (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) group over the past month.
The Kurds have since declared plans to hold a referendum on independence in the areas seized, escalating tensions with Iraq's central authorities.
In a statement on Friday, the Iraqi oil ministry condemned the seizure of oil refineries, adding that they expected Kurdish fighters to "support security forces in confronting terrorist groups rather than using the conditions to raid and occupy oil fields".
Reuters news agency said a senior source within the Kurdistan Regional Government had confirmed the takeover.
The unnamed source said they had been "forced to act to protect Iraq's infrastructure after learning of attempts by Iraq oil ministry officials to sabotage it".
The two oilfields are said to have a combined daily output capacity of some 400,000 barrels per day, AFP quotes a ministry spokesman as saying.
The Kurdish minority in Iraq managed to establish an autonomous region in the north in 2005 after decades of political and military efforts to seek self-rule.
Kurdish officials, including Kurdistan Region leader Massoud Barzani, say they view independence of areas under Kurdish control as their right.
Tensions came to a head when Prime Minister Maliki said on Wednesday that the Kurdish provincial capital Irbil was a haven for Isis fighters.
Soon after, a spokesman for Massoud Barzani said Mr Maliki "had become hysterical" and urged him to step down.
Foreign Minister Zebari told Reuters news agency on Friday that the Kurdish political bloc had suspended all day-to-day government business after Mr Maliki's remarks.
He said the country risked division if an inclusive government was not formed soon, adding: "The country is now divided literally into three states - Kurdish, a black state [Isis] and Baghdad."
This row with the Kurds is the last thing Iraq needs because it is already facing a stunningly successful Islamist insurgency, says the BBC's Mark Doyle in Baghdad.
It is a three-way dispute between the Kurds, the Sunnis and the Shia and it could lead to a three-way split, our correspondent adds.
Separately on Friday, the Iraqi government recalled Iraqi Kurd diplomats based at its UK embassy who were accused of taking part in a demonstration calling for the full secession of Iraqi Kurdistan.
But the diplomats' case symbolises a much more serious dispute, with Iraq's ethnic and religious unity and the very borders of the modern state under threat, our correspondent says.
Meanwhile, activist group Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said that Iraqi security forces and militias affiliated with the government appeared to have executed at least 255 prisoners since 9 June.
"The vast majority of security forces and militias are Shia, while the murdered prisoners were Sunni," HRW said in a statement.
"The mass extrajudicial killings may be evidence of war crimes or crimes against humanity, and appear to be revenge killings for atrocities by ISIS," the statement added.
Joe Stork, HRW's deputy Middle East director, said: "While the world rightly denounces the atrocious acts of Isis, it should not turn a blind eye to sectarian killing sprees by government and pro-government forces."
The small Calabrian town of Gioiosa Ionica, population 7,000, is currently home to a group of asylum seekers, who are given the imitation bank notes, or "tickets" as they are known, as part of a voucher system.
The refugees can spend the cash on whatever they like, but only in the town, so that local businesses benefit.
Rather than featuring European architectural gems, they bear the likenesses of a collection of communists and leftist leaders - Che Guevara on the fake €10 note, Hugo Chavez on the €20 and Karl Marx on the €50.
The reverse sides feature the signature of Giovanni Maiolo, the co-ordinator of the town's refugee services.
It's all part of what they see in Gioiosa Ionica as a "win-win situation". The refugees get to buy food and spend some pocket money while the shopkeepers get new customers, which helps to defuse any tensions about the new arrivals.
And the "win-win" goes further than that.
The town hall receives €35 (£29; $39) per asylum seeker per day from the central government in Rome. This has to cover everything, from accommodation, food and medical care to Italian language lessons, work placements and assistance with asylum bureaucracy.
It also includes a couple of euros for pocket money.
In an economically deprived place like Gioiosa Ionica that's more used to emigration than immigration, these sums are making a real difference.
Previously empty houses now earn a rental income and more people are spending money in the local shops.
The fake money ensures the asylum seekers can buy food on a regular basis, even when the funds from Rome are late.
The refugee services pay the shopkeepers in real euros when the cash arrives.
This way the weight of the delay is borne by the shopkeeper, who effectively gives credit to the refugee services, and not by the migrant.
Looking after the refugees has created 20 much-needed jobs.
It's all part of the mayor's plan.
Left-of-centre Salvatore Fuda was elected three years ago on a manifesto that included bringing migrants to the town deliberately, by joining the government's "Sprar" system for the "protection of asylum seekers and refugees", which supports migrants by providing those €35 per day.
"A project like ours, with 75 refugee places, brings us about €1m a year in total," says Mr Fuda.
"This money is given to the town, not to the migrants, If you compare that to our annual town budget of around €8m, you can see it's a significant economic help for us.
"It creates a virtuous circle - through the rental income, the jobs it's created and the money spent on food here. So it's brought an economic benefit."
He hasn't just done it for the money, but also to bring an experience of multiculturalism to the local youngsters.
"The children of Gioiosa Ionica will have no difficulties if they meet people of a different colour, culture or religion. They'll have learned for example that in Afghanistan or India people play cricket, not football, and they'll have seen how to play cricket.
For him, it means that a child from the far south of Italy will encounter foreigners in just the same way as a child growing up in the big capitals of Paris and London.
The migrants seem happy enough, too. Rather than having to live in big refugee centres with little to do, they can get work experience and share houses with other refugees where they can cook for themselves.
A local print shop, for example, has given one young Somali man a work placement. And for as long as he can get work, he will be happy staying in this small town in the far south of Italy.

Leave declared almost £3.6m in donations compared with Remain's £2.9m, during the period from 13 May.
In total, registered EU referendum campaigners have reported more than £27m in donations and £6m in loans and credit facilities since 1 February.
Voters go to the polls on Thursday to decide on the UK's future in the EU.
The figures published by the watchdog - in the latest of their pre-poll donation reports - details money reported by campaigners spending more than £10,000 in the referendum and individual donations of more than £7,500.
They show that registered campaigners for both Remain and Leave declared a combined total of £6,484,911 over the 25-day period.
The various campaigns for Britain to leave the EU declared a combined £3,596,994 in donations, of which £2,708,994 was to the officially designated Out campaign, Vote Leave.
Grassroots Out - which lost out to Vote Leave in the race for the official campaign designation - declared £125,000.
A total of £2,887,917 was donated to the Remain campaigns, with the official Britain Stronger in Europe receiving £1,886,055 of that.
Five of the top eight biggest individual donations went to Vote Leave, including £1m from Diana Van Nievelt Price.
Britain Stronger in Europe also received a £1m donation - from travel company Trailfinders Limited.
There was just one loan, of £10,000, from Referendum Facts Ltd, to Remain.
Vote Leave and Britain Stronger In Europe have now each received the £600,000 public grant that they are entitled to as the designated campaigns.
Wider use of anti-retroviral drugs has helped to stop a sharper rise, a study by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and a number of universities found.
They found a 26% rise, from 1990-2010, in the proportion of men who have sex with men who did not use condoms.
The report said the figures showed it was vital to promote safe sex.
Rates of HIV have been rising in recent years with latest figures showing cases among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the UK reaching an all-time high.
A recent report from the HPA found that nearly half of the 6,280 people diagnosed in the UK in 2011 were MSM.
Overall, one in 20 MSM are infected with HIV.
Darren, Greater Manchester, writes:
"I suspect the rise is more among young MSMs.
"They see HIV positive men like myself and think it is just a matter of popping a few pills if they catch it, so they are not that phased about becoming HIV positive or not using condoms.
"There also seem to be more bisexual men or curious men around now who are used to not bothering with condoms with heterosexual encounters so prefer not to use them elsewhere too.
"When I do have sex I tend to use condoms as there are worse things you can get like Hepatitis C or an alternative strain of HIV which can reduce your highly active antiretroviral therapy drug pool."
For this study, researchers analysed data from 1990 to 2010. They concluded that, without the introduction of anti-retroviral drugs to treat those with HIV, infections would be 68% higher in MSM.
Therapy with anti-retrovirals lowers the risk of people with HIV infecting others.
The report suggested the incidence of HIV could be 32% lower if all anti-retroviral treatment were prescribed from the moment of diagnosis rather than when health declined.
Further analysis showed that, if all MSM had stopped using condoms from 2000, rates of HIV in this group would now be 400% higher, the journal PLoS One reported.
The data also showed that the incidence of HIV could have dropped by a quarter if more HIV testing had been done.
But the researchers said the results showed that even a modest increase in unprotected sex was enough to erode the benefits of other interventions.
Study leader Professor Andrew Phillips, from University College London, said: "By better understanding the driving forces behind the trends we've seen in the past, it will allow us to make informed choices to reduce new HIV infections in the future."
Co-author Dr Valerie Delpech, who is head of HIV surveillance at the HPA, said: "Everyone should use a condom when having sex with new or casual partners, until all partners have had a sexual health screen.
"We also encourage men who have sex with men to get an HIV and STI screen at least annually, and every three months if having condomless sex with new or casual partners - and clinicians to take every opportunity to recommend HIV testing to this group."
Sir Nick Partridge, chief executive of the Terrence Higgins Trust, said condom use by gay men had played a key part in containing the spread of HIV in the UK.
"Without it, there would have been 80,000 more gay men with HIV between 2000 and 2010."
He added that the study showed the impact of the combined HIV strategy of promoting condoms, increasing regular HIV testing and encouraging the earlier use of anti-HIV drug therapy.
He added: "At a time when funding for local HIV prevention programmes is under threat, this only reinforces the important role which local authorities can and must play in funding local HIV prevention."
According to a family member who asked not to be identified, he died late on Friday from cancer.
The Name of the Rose was made into a film in 1986 starring Scottish actor Sean Connery.
Eco, who also wrote the novel Foucault's Pendulum, continued to publish new works, with Numero Zero released last year.
He also wrote children's books and literary criticism.
Eco once wrote that "books always speak of other books, and every story tells a story that has already been told".
"I am a philosopher," he was quoted as saying. "I write novels only on the weekends."
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi led tributes to Eco.
"He was an extraordinary example of a European intellectual," Mr Renzi said.
"He embodied both the unique intelligence of the past and a tireless capacity for anticipating the future."

The Artemesia tune was chosen by Scotland fans as the music to accompany goals during the World Cup campaign.
"I tell you what - there'll be some amount of carnage going on," the Hull City midfielder said about the prospect in the build-up to the home game with Lithuania. "I'm a fan of it.
"I'll be dancing as well."
More than 20,000 people voted in the Scottish FA survey, with the dance tune from 1995, which was more recently re-mixed by Scottish DJ George Bowie, winning.
It beat The Proclaimers' "(I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles", which has most recently been played over the PA when Scotland score.
Having scored a hat-trick in Scotland's opening Group F victory away to Malta, Snodgrass is eager to trigger the music against Lithuania and make a statement about Scotland's prospect of qualifying.
"At club level, we've just got beat three on the bounce," he said of Hull's Premier League form. "So I'm desperate to get a win and I can't wait for the game to start.
"Because of how well we did in the last game, we want to build on that and it's at home and you want the home fans to see you mean business."
After entertaining Lithuania, Scotland travel to face Slovakia on Tuesday and Snodgrass agreed that four points from the two games would be the minimum target for his side.
"Focusing on two games, we obviously need to get off to a good start on Saturday," said the midfielder.
"They will be no mugs. It will be like the Malta game. They will be hard to break down, but we have to be ruthless, especially at home, because the fans have an expectation when you go away from home and win your first game convincingly.
"But I am not one for feeling pressure. I just enjoy playing football and enjoy being with the lads every day."
Snodgrass has shown excellent form after being sidelined for 15 months following an injury picked up when making his Hull debut in August 2014.
He missed much of Scotland's failed Euro 2016 qualification campaign and national assistant boss Mark McGhee again emphasised how highly the 29-year-old is regarded by head coach Gordon Strachan.
"I was there the day he got injured at Queens Park Rangers and I remember saying that, had he not got injured, I don't think his team would have got relegated that season," he said.
"That's how important he was to them and then he went out and scored a hat-trick in Malta and qualified that by showing how important he is to us.
"He is a brilliant player. He is such an important asset in and around the camp in the sense of taking the pressure off people.
"He will make a little joke in the dressing room. On the training ground, he's got a lovely rapport with the coaches. He is a great asset to the squad."
He lived in refugee camps in Ethiopia and Kenya, getting the education he had missed on his terrifying journey, before he was eventually relocated to the US.
Mr Deng's life story was made into a bestselling book, What is the What, by the American author Dave Eggers.
Now, in a twist so unlikely it might have been rejected by a writer of fiction, Mr Deng has become the minister for education in Northern Bahr el-Ghazal, one of the 10 states in South Sudan which gained its independence from Sudan on 9 July 2011.
Mr Deng says even he finds it "difficult to imagine", but here he is, a boy in rags transformed into a minister in a smart suit.
"If one is positive and optimistic, good things can happen," he says.
Valentino Achak Deng:
"The lesson I can draw is that people can always learn, come through tough times and persevere and grow"
Mr Deng has big ambitions for the children under his care, and says his own example shows what is possible.
"The lesson I can draw is that people can always learn, come through tough times and persevere and grow.
"It's exciting when you see a lot of children go through - a lot of smiles and success stories."
Mr Deng was named education minister in Northern Bahr el-Ghazal late last year, after successfully setting up a school in the town of Marial Bai, funded in part by proceeds from What is the What.
During our conversation, one parent came up to profusely thank Mr Deng for the education the school is providing his kids.
At the school, Mr Deng has brought in children from Pibor, a conflict-affected area at the opposite end of the country.
It is part of an ideology the former Lost Boy hopes can help overcome South Sudan's ethnic and regional divisions.
"I wanted the kids from Northern Bahr el-Ghazal to learn with the kids from all the other nine states of South Sudan, and benefit from the cross-cultural environment," he says.
"Where you know someone speaks another language but they're South Sudanese, someone lives a different lifestyle but they're South Sudanese, someone comes from a different location but he's just as important as you at Marial Bai Secondary School."
Now, though, Mr Deng has broader challenges, as a state minister in a part of the country with very divided politics, and which is facing the economic crisis brought on by South Sudan's civil war.
Mr Deng says he lacks qualified teachers, in part because so many children are flocking to school.
School buildings are a problem too. Many lessons take place under trees in villages, which means the makeshift classrooms are impractical during the rainy season.
Children often come to school hungry "which affects their ability to learn", Mr Deng says.
And many struggle to understand English, the official language of South Sudan, particularly if they grew up in Sudan before independence, when Arabic was the official language.
Northern Bahr el-Ghazal has been spared the worst of the fighting in the civil war that began 18 months ago, but the national crisis is still taking its toll.
"The prices fluctuate, the teacher cannot survive on their salary," Mr 'Deng explains.
"The kids go hungry; they do not go to school because they have to survive."
Nationally, Mr Deng is "worried that we are losing a good number of students to illiteracy, because of the violence".
"Education is transformation, but it can only do so much if people are forced to leave school."
Mr Deng thinks of himself as a man getting things done rather than as a politician, but he knows from very personal experience what sort of difference education can make.
"'When I walked across the southern Sudan barefoot, I literally knew nothing, [had] not even a map, [knew] not where I was, not how to navigate myself in the forest or how to look for signs of dangers or any of those.
"I was just a naive kid walking, looking for safety."
Tracking down South Sudan's missing
Mr Deng's own educational journey, interrupted by war and reinvigorated in the refugee camps of Ethiopia and Kenya, convinced him that his homeland would have been much better off if more people had gone to school.
"We had fewer educated people in the country; we had fewer schools; we had virtually no basic infrastructure; we had no industrialised agriculture system.
"And that had a lot to do with war, which took South Sudan back a number of years.
"So with education, I would not have gone through the difficulties I went through. Somebody would have worked out something, some alternatives."
Now Mr Deng has the opportunity to help educate thousands of kids, as state education minister or through his school.
His own life was devastated by conflict, then transformed by education.
It leaves him with a strong message for his fellow South Sudanese.
Many countries in the region, like Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia, have recovered from terrible ordeals, and Mr Deng is convinced South Sudan can too.
"What I pray that we do as leaders of this young nation is that we say stop to the violence, stop to anything that destroys a soul, look for a solution, and we can be like anybody."
The 20-year-old has won two Premiership titles in his time at Celtic Park on loan from Manchester City, who paid about £13m to sign him in 2015.
And he believes the newly-crowned Scottish Champions could cut it in England's top flight.
"They are top professionals and great lads so I think they could compete in the Premier League," he said.
"The Premier League is a tough league, you can see that every week when top teams get beat. You can't quite expect what's going to happen.
"The belief in the team here and the desire to win and the experience in the team, and some young boys as well that are coming through who are excellent, so yes, they could (compete)."
Roberts made the loan move to Celtic while Ronny Deila was still manager and the English youngster has noticed a major difference since Brendan Rodgers took over last summer.
"I think he (Brendan Rodgers) has brought a different style of play, an attacking style and a belief in the club to play a way that he has known," added Roberts, who started Sunday's title-clinching match against Hearts, scoring the fourth goal in a 5-0 rout.
"And I think the boys have bought into that and executed it brilliantly.
"On Sunday we had no striker and I was up there - I know I've played it before - and you see fluidity up top to play like we did. To get five goals is good and it's what the manager has brought to the club.
"Especially for me, I love attacking and we get a lot of chances."
With his loan stint due to end this summer, Roberts remains unsure about where he will be plying his trade next season.
However, he is not ruling out a return to Celtic Park. "I've always said I don't know what my future will bring, but I have always enjoyed my time here," he said.
"I've loved it and I've still got a few games to go now and I want to do that well and finish off the job.
"Celtic have been brilliant to me and are a massive club. I just want to play football every weekend. I am still a boy and I enjoy playing football wherever it is, I don't know.
"I will come to that when it comes to that and I will just take it step by step."

The Diocese of Leicester is setting up a monastic community in the heart of the city - and wants a prior to run it.
The role requires "spiritual maturity and wisdom... a discerning and prayerful heart" but may also involve deciding who does the washing.
Earthly reward is about £25,000 pa, plus accommodation and a council tax waiver.
Popular images of monks have not moved on much from the Middle Ages, partly because Henry VIII almost destroyed the lifestyle with the Dissolution of the monasteries in 1536.
Canon Barry Hill, mission enabler for the diocese, said: "This will be a long way from that, while maintaining the traditional values of prayer.
"It will see people taking a step back from the sometimes frantic pace of modern life, to get rid of some of the monkeys in our mind and push into the love of God.
"This will be combined with taking that love into the community and showing hospitality to those who seek it."
The community will give 18-35 year olds a year-long residency focused "prayer, study and service" with an emphasis on community work.
The prior's role is open to both men and women, but only ordained priests need apply.
New monks versus old monks
According to the advert, the role will involve the "rare challenge of setting up a monastic order in the middle of a modern, multi-cultural city" - but also "organising cooking, cleaning and washing rotas".
The church also said the new prior should be computer literate and familiar with social media.
The community will be housed in old council buildings which stand on part of the former Grey Friars abbey, where the remains of Richard III were originally buried.
Applicants have until 30 January, with the new community to start in September.
Four years on, after voters delivered an SNP landslide, the party does not even have that crumb of comfort.
In the 2011 Scottish election, Labour was humiliated in its own back yard.
Some of its most senior figures are political corpses - cut down in a previously impregnable heartland that now resembles Labour's Little Big Horn.
The SNP will rightly claim all the national headlines for a stunning night of success, which surely surpassed even the wildest hopes of their most optimistic supporters.
It is in the west of Scotland, however, that the sheer scale of the victory can be gauged by counting Labour scalps taken against all expectations.
The list of casualties for Labour is shocking, and will deprive the party of some of its most experienced and sure-footed performers for the lifetime of the parliament.
In Glasgow, the city's Shettleston, Cathcart, Southside, Kelvin and Anniesland constituencies were all taken by the Nationalists with swings of between four and 12% from Labour.
The SNP's John Mason defeated former Labour minister Frank McAveety in Glasgow Shettleston.
Another shock saw the Nationalists' James Dornan take the city's Cathcart constituency, ousting Charlie Gordon - a former city council leader.
The SNP's Sandra White triumphed in the Kelvin constituency over Labour's Pauline McNeil.
In the newly created Glasgow Southside constituency, SNP deputy leader Nicola Sturgeon overcame a slim notional Labour majority to defeat Stephen Curran.
Bill Kidd also defeated Labour's Bill Butler in Glasgow Anniesland by just seven votes following a prolonged recount.
When these victories are viewed on a political map, a swathe of SNP yellow cuts through Labour's previously rock-solid red heartland, linking with other gains in surrounding areas.
In Lanarkshire, Dunbartonshire and Ayrshire, there was more jubilation for the Nationalists at the expense of Labour.
Andy Kerr, a potential leadership hopeful who held the health and finance portfolios for Labour in a previous administration, was defeated in East Kilbride by the SNP's Linda Fabiani.
His former ministerial colleague, Tom McCabe, was ousted in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by the Nationalists' Christina McKelvie.
Neighbouring Clydesdale fell to the SNP, as did Airdrie and Shotts, where Alex Neil defeated Karen Whitefield.
The SNP's Jamie Hepburn took Cumbernauld and Kilsyth from Labour's Cathie Craigie.
In Strathkelvin and Bearsden and Clydebank and Milngavie, other Labour stalwarts, David Whitton and Des McNulty, wilted under the challenge of the SNP's Fiona McLeod and Gil Paterson.
The red dominoes also fell in Renfrewshire North and West, Paisley, and in Cunninghame South, where the SNP's Margaret Burgess defeated Irene Oldfather.
The SNP took Carrick, Cumnock and Doon Valley, where Adam Ingram beat Richard Leonard.
All over the west of Scotland it was a night of devastation for Labour as it lost key seat after seat to a rampant SNP.
Amidst this political deluge, there was little to cheer the other parties.
The Conservative's John Scott held Ayr, but the party's hopes of taking Eastwood in East Renfrewshire were dashed when Labour's Ken Macintosh held off a strong challenge from Jackson Carlaw.
Party leader Annabel Goldie was returned on the West of Scotland regional list along with Mr Carlaw.
They will be accompanied to Holyrood by Ruth Davidson, who was elected on the Glasgow regional list.
For the Liberal Democrats, their worst fears were realised as the party suffered a national collapse.
Former minister Ross Finnie is out of Holyrood after his party failed to return any candidates on the West of Scotland list. The Glasgow list did not offer any succour either.
The UK coalition partners are now only represented at council level in the west of Scotland and must be fearing a similar hiding when they face voters in those elections.
There was some joy for the Greens, when convener Patrick Harvie was returned on the Glasgow list.
With some other regional lists still to declare, the party is hoping to add to its previous total of two MSPs at Holyrood.
For other minor parties - and big names - the list results were nothing to shout about.
The outspoken former Labour MP George Galloway failed in his attempt to re-enter frontline politics when he could not muster enough support on an anti-cuts coalition ticket in Glasgow.
The Scottish Socialist Party and its breakaway sibling, Solidarity, also failed to make a breakthrough.
So, where does this leave politics in Scotland - and the west of Scotland?
Nationally, the SNP has steamrollered the opposition on its way to an unprecedented overall majority.
That seemed unthinkable under the Holyrood election system, so, it is hard to conclude other than that it may have changed Scottish politics forever.
If Labour's traditional Glasgow and west of Scotland heartlands are no longer a sure thing, the dynamic of future elections could be changed completely.
For the SNP, that represents a massive opportunity to expand its power base and undermine its biggest rival permanently.
Where Labour goes from here - having seen its Scottish fortress breached and then completely over-run in the last four years - is a question its activists, strategists and MSPs will have to ponder long and hard during five wilderness years of opposition.
Theresa May told the London Evening Standard it was important to "send a clear message that people should "carry on with our lives as usual".
She added that the police and security services were "unsung heroes".
Twelve people were killed on Monday when a truck was driven into a crowd at the Breitscheidplatz market in Berlin.
So-called Islamic State has said one of its militants carried out the attack but has offered no evidence.
The market has now reopened and police are searching for a Tunisian suspect, named as Anis Amri.
Mrs May told the Standard: "Of course our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the terrible attack that took place in Berlin, but Londoners should go about their business as usual. They should enjoy this Christmas period."
The prime minister added: "It is important, I think, that we send a very clear message that we will not be cowed by the terrorists - that we will carry on with our lives as usual."
She said: "The security services and the police are working day in and day out to keep us safe....
"They are often unsung heroes but they are actually doing a very good job. However, they have to be vigilant all the time and we should be very grateful for the work they do."
He had been in a coma in hospital for two months after being admitted with respiratory problems.
Trained as a carpet designer, Ghitani took up journalism in his 20s and went on to write historical fiction.
Much of his work has been widely translated, including the 1974 novel Zayni Barakat, considered a seminal portrayal of authoritarian rule.
Set in the Mamluke era, the novel was seen as a veiled critique of the regime of President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
As a journalist Ghitani also reported from the frontlines during the Arab-Israeli conflict of 1973.
He won awards in Egypt for his writing, as well as being awarded France's Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1987.
Prime Minister Sharif Ismail said that Ghitani had "contributed significantly in enriching literature with his unique style, intelligence and broad vision".
Ghitani was one of several intellectuals who supported the army's ousting of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013, despite the harsh crackdown against the army's opponents that followed.
More than 220 people were hurt in the 1996 attack which devastated the city centre causing £700m in damage.
On the 20th anniversary of the bombing, Sinn Fein's Pat Sheehan said all parties must become "accountable" and "that may mean an apology."
The UK government said it would "not be party to any re-write of history."
A spokeswoman added it would "not forget the fact that around 90% of all deaths in the Troubles were caused by terrorists. Legislation will also state there will be no amnesties".
Mr Sheehan, a former IRA hunger striker and now Sinn Fein member of the Northern Ireland Assembly for West Belfast, suggested his party could apologise in the future.
"We need to get into a process where every party and every antagonist becomes accountable for their actions during the conflict," he said.
"That may mean an apology," he added. "But if the British government are playing hardball and the Republicans are seen to be moving forward, it doesn't help the process."
In 2002, the IRA issued an apology to its civilian IRA victims to mark the 30th anniversary of 'Bloody Friday' when nine people were killed and more than 130 injured in Belfast - but it has never given a direct apology for the Manchester bomb.
Reconciliation becomes difficult if "one party moves ahead and other parties don't," Mr Sheehan said.
He said hatred had existed on all sides for many years but the British government had perpetrated injustices that "led to the conflict" and these needed to be dealt with.
"As much as possible, victims should be able to get the justice that they seek," he said but "unfortunately it isn't always going to be possible to get people in front of the courts."
A government spokeswoman said talks would "continue with a view to providing better outcomes for victims and survivors in Northern Ireland and across the UK".
"The Government is also clear that any new legacy legislation would establish investigatory bodies that are fair, equitable, balanced, proportionate and transparent."
Manchester City Council is not marking the anniversary of the bombing because it says the city has "moved on".
No-one has been charged over the blast in which many people were hurt by flying glass and debris but thanks to a police operation the city centre was evacuated.
Greater Manchester Police recently launched another review of the evidence but speaking to North West Tonight, former council leader and Manchester Blackley and Broughton Labour MP Graham Stringer called it a "PR stunt".
"I think the Special Branch, Greater Manchester Police and the government know who did it," he said.
If the decision not to prosecute anyone was taken so as not to jeopardise the Northern Ireland peace process the government should be "open and above board" about it.
GMP's Det Ch Supt Tony Mole said the case has "remained open and been kept under constant review".
He said a team of specialist officers carried out a more detailed review ahead of the 10th anniversary of the incident and in consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service, "concluded at the time there was no realistic possibility of prosecution".
He added: "As the 20th anniversary of the incident approaches, it is now the right time for another assessment of the case in order to identify and explore any possible potential investigative opportunities.
"If new information comes to light it would be considered and I would urge anyone with information relevant to the investigation to get in touch with police."
A group representing victims of the Northern Ireland conflict has criticised the city council's decision not to mark the anniversary saying those who have suffered as a result of IRA terrorism should always be remembered.
Kenny Donaldson, from Innocent Victims United, said: "The city council need to understand, who are they moving on for exactly?
"If the victims wish a space in order to reflect and remember what has happened then surely our own council should be supporting them in that," he said.
Stenny could only draw 1-1 at home to Brechin City, whose point was enough to secure a promotion play-off place.
Peterhead finished second bottom, meaning a play-off semi-final against Montrose to retain their status.
Airdrieonians, who beat Queen's Park 3-2, clinched third place and the other promotion play-off place.
The Diamonds will host Alloa, who had already secured the runners-up spot, in the first leg of their Championship play-off semi-final on Wednesday.
On the same evening, Brechin will entertain Raith Rovers, who finished second bottom of the league above.
Stenny found themselves behind after only five minutes as Alan Trouten's penalty put Brechin ahead following Mason Robertson's foul on Ally Love.
Oliver Shaw equalised after 62 minutes, but a 1-1 draw was not enough to avoid a drop to League Two next season on a topsy turvy afternoon.
Peterhead recovered from 2-1 down to beat Alloa.
Iain Flannigan gave Alloa a 29th-minute lead with a low effort from 12 yards, but Rory McAllister equalised eight minutes after half-time.
Adam Martin restored Alloa's advantage on the hour mark.
But, with relegation looming, Peterhead levelled through Grant Anderson and Jordan Brown fired the winner from six yards with 10 minutes remaining.
In Airdrie, Dario Zanatta put Queen's Park ahead but Andy Ryan struck either side of half-time to give the home side the lead.
Kalvin Orsi's low effort drew the visitors level but less than a minute later Iain Russell converted Scott Stewart's pass for the winner.
Airdrieonians and Brechin picking up points ended East Fife's outside hopes of finishing in the top four.
In any case, the Fifers lost 2-1 away to Stranraer, Craig Malcolm and Amadou Kassarate scoring either side of Jason Kerr's equaliser.
Champions Livingston signed off with a 2-0 win over Albion Rovers, with Scott Pitman and Raffaele De Vita on target.
The Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) said more than 40,000 jobs were supported by the industry across the UK, including 7,000 in rural areas.
The research also found that Scotch made a positive contribution to the UK's balance of trade of almost £3.7bn.
Exports were estimated to worth about £4bn while imports, such as packaging and casks, totalled only £200m.
The study also suggested that the UK's trade deficit in goods of £115bn would be 3% larger without Scotch's contribution.
SWA said the research reinforced Scotch whisky's position as a "strategically important" industry for the UK.
In a statement, SWA said: "Scotch is a significant contributor to rural employment, supporting often fragile local economies.
"The Scotch whisky industry is expanding at historic levels.
"As well as the 14 new distilleries opened since 2013, existing sites have been expanded, for example with increased production, more warehouses or revamped visitor centres.
"Up to a further 40 new distilleries are planned across Scotland, with seven expected to open this year alone."
The industry body also reiterated its call for the UK government to cut excise by 2% in March's Budget, arguing that the current tax of 77% on an average priced bottle of Scotch was "a burden on consumers and the industry".
In response, a UK Treasury spokesman said: "Scotch Whisky is a great British success story with exports worth £4bn a year. That's why we froze the duty on whisky and other spirits at last year's Budget."
We're all learning more about trade, amid the heated debate over Brexit. The Scotch Whisky Association brings its own perspective, with an interesting analysis of net trade.
That measures the value of exports versus the value of imported raw materials and components. Britain has its own oil and gas supply, but while it exported £10bn worth in refined oil during 2015, and as much in crude, it imports £29bn worth. So it's a net importer.
In the economic analysis by the distillers' trade grouping, it shows there's a slight negative on iron and steel, and on 'toilet and cleansing preparations'. Much moreso on plastics and paper products.
Britain exports a lot of cars, with nearly £26bn by value in 2015. But more than half of a British-built car is made of imported components. And other finished cars are imported, with a total automotive value of nearly £32bn.
The biggest single sector deficit is clothing. We import £12bn per year more apparel than we export - an imbalance of £6bn in exports to £18bn in imports.
What do distillers need to import? Fuel, packaging, some grain and used casks - those bourbon barrels and sherry butts that add a lot of Scotch's distinctive taste and colour.
Export value was around £4bn in 2015, while imports towards the product were around £200m.
What better reason, argues the Scotch Whisky Association on Robert Burns' birthday, for the chancellor to raise a dram to the Bard - a one-time excise officer in Dumfries - and cut duty on spirits? | Players not selected for the British and Irish Lions squad to face New Zealand this summer must train as if they are going on the tour, says 2013 series winner Alex Corbisiero.

At the Wilderness Festival near his Oxfordshire home this weekend, David Cameron photobombed a Labour activist's selfie, along with his wife Samantha.
Enjoying a star line-up which included Bonobo and Grace Jones, Vanessa Price was capturing a cheery moment with her husband, unaware that the former Tory MP for Witney was crashing their photo with a deadpan expression.
"We took the selfie and then Steve looked at it and said, 'Oh my god, I think that's David Cameron.'
"I couldn't believe he was staring at the camera - I don't think he was having a good time," Mrs Price said.

The Camerons' appearance at the festival came in the same week that Conservative MP George Freeman announced he was planning a festival of ideas for Tory party activists in September.
The idea came after Labour's Jeremy Corbyn stole the show at Glastonbury this year, Mr Freeman told the Financial Times.
Can we presume that Mr Cameron will be attending "Tory Glastonbury"?

Steven Thompson, 39, shot the teenager, who was riding on the back of a motorcycle, in Sunderland in October.
Last month, Thompson admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an air rifle without a firearms certificate
The victim suffered a "serious head wound" and was taken to hospital.
He was admitted to hospital in a critical condition and regained consciousness a week later.
In a witness statement read at Newcastle Crown Court, the teenager said he felt he had lost the life he loved as a result of his injuries.
He was said to have been an active boy who loved swimming and going to the Lake District on activity holidays.
Since the shooting he has lost most movement in the left side of his body and can only walk for short spells and uses a wheelchair for longer distances.
The judge praised the determination of the boy, and the support of his family, which has supported him with his recovery.
Detective Inspector Ed Small, said: "This has truly been an awful incident and Thompson's actions have left this poor young man with severe life-changing injuries.
"No 15-year-old should have their freedom or dignity taken away from them in this way."
Thompson, of Hewitt Avenue, also admitted another firearms charge but denied perverting the course of justice.

The social media sites have been blocked since 2009 after they were used to organise protests.
On Monday the block was briefly lifted for some Iranians - but the authorities blamed "technical problems", stressing the official policy had not changed.
The hitch comes as US trade sanctions force the closure of an Iranian opposition leader's website.
Late on Monday, Western journalists working in Iran reported that they had suddenly gained direct access to Twitter and Facebook.
Thomas Erdbrink, Tehran bureau chief for the New York Times, sent several tweets via his mobile phone without the need to go via a proxy that circumvents official blocks.
By Siavash ArdalanBBC Persian
The jubilation of Iran's social media users was tempered by speculation that the temporary Facebook and Twitter comeback was a ploy to identify users or just test the waters.
Many Iranians have learned not to be over-optimistic about overnight reforms, be it political freedoms, human rights, foreign policy or internet access.
Iran's new government is promoting internet freedom. They have a tough job as those in charge of the country's widespread filtering mechanism do not take orders from President Hassan Rouhani.
Hardliners have good reason to be wary of allowing full internet access to information and entertainment to a young, freedom-craving population. The security implications of doing so can become an unmanageable challenge - and an unnecessary one as far as the real decision-makers are concerned.
Most Iranians who want to use social media have typically used proxies or other special software to get around the government imposed firewall.
Iranians reacted with cautious optimism when they realised Facebook and Twitter were freely accessible.
"If it is true, I think they have to register today in calendar as a day of Free Filtering," user Abbas Farokhi told BBC Persian.
Another, Benyamin HM, said: "Do not get over excited, it has happened because of some technical problems. It will be filtered again and we have to use proxy."
Initially it was thought the block was being lifted for everyone in Iran, signalling the start of a more tolerant attitude towards social media by the government.
In recent weeks some Iranian government officials and ministers have signed up for accounts on Facebook and Twitter.
This led to confusion earlier this month over whether President Hassan Rouhani had tweeted "Happy Rosh Hashana" to Iran's Jewish community. A message came from a Twitter account thought to belong to Mr Rouhani, but officials later said he did not have any such account.
Early on Tuesday Reuters reported that official policy had not changed and "technical faults" had mistakenly led to the restrictions being lifted.
It quoted Abdolsamad Khoramabadi, who heads the committee that oversees Iran's net filters, as saying it was looking into the hitch.
"We are investigating to see which of these companies has done this," he said.
At the same time, the website of Iranian opposition politician Mehdi Karoubi has been shut down by the Just Host service at the request of the US Treasury Department.
Sanctions restrict what services US companies can supply to Iranians and this extends to hosting websites that use the country's .ir domain suffix.
An aide for Mr Karoubi said the action by the US was "frustrating".
The European Commission said it would also "strengthen its capacity to combat migrant smuggling" off Turkey's coast.
The draft action plan is yet to be accepted by Turkey. It does not address some the demands made by its president.
Turkey says millions more refugees could flee the conflict in Syria due to Russian and Iranian involvement.
European Council President Donald Tusk said earlier that, according to Ankara's estimates, three million more people could head to Europe from Aleppo and the surrounding area.
But the International Organization for Migration (IOM) says it has so far had no reports of more people leaving Syria, and that Mr Tusk's comments were "speculative".
In Brussels, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and EU leaders agreed to finalise an action plan with Turkey in the coming days to deal with the refugee crisis.
The draft document includes proposals for the EU to:
In exchange, Turkey would undertake various measures including implementing asylum procedures and giving priority to "the opening of the six refugee reception centres built with the EU co-funding".
European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker earlier hailed Turkey for having admitted 2.2 million Syrian refugees.
"It is clear that we need Turkey. The Commission will come to its aid," he said.
However, Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci was sceptical about the plan, according to Reuters.
His country would welcome a financial contribution from the EU to ease the strain of hosting migrants, but that funding would "not be a solution" to the crisis, Mr Zeybekci was quoted as saying.
The draft document published on Tuesday does not address demands made by President Erdogan for the creation of a safe haven and no-fly zone around Syria's northern border. Nor does it explicitly mention his calls for Turkey's EU membership process to move ahead more quickly.

Russia began its air strikes in Syria on 30 September, saying it was targeting Islamic State (IS) militants at the request of President Bashar al-Assad's government.
The West says Russia is also hitting non-IS rebels - a claim denied by the Kremlin. There have been reports that a number of Syrian civilians have been killed in the Russian strikes.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants - many of them fleeing conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa - have already arrived in the EU this year, many via Turkey and Greece.
Last month, the 28-member EU agreed plans to relocate 120,000 migrants over the next two years.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
New legislation on foreign universities, due for debate in parliament on 5 April, would cripple CEU and could force it to move abroad.
Rector Michael Ignatieff says it will stay open, and stay in Budapest.
"We just want to be left alone," Mr Ignatieff, a former Canadian Liberal Party leader, told the BBC.
"The achievements of the university speak for themselves," he added.
CEU is ranked among the top 200 universities in the world in eight disciplines, and excels in political science and international studies.
The attack on the CEU is the latest battle in a war against liberalism, declared by the increasingly radical right-wing Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban.
George Soros, the Hungarian-born financier who founded the university in 1991 and still partly funds it, is the main target.
Mr Orban is a critic of liberal NGOs partially funded by Mr Soros. Officials from the governing Fidesz party have repeatedly referred to CEU as "the Soros university".
University officials reply that Mr Soros is part of a 21-member board of trustees, and has no role in the day-to-day running of the university.
Behind the scenes, pro-Fidesz academics also covet the CEU buildings, which occupy prime real-estate in the centre of Budapest, next to the pedestrian zone around St Stephen's basilica.
Students and professors from several other Budapest universities also took part in Sunday's march, defying government claims that the CEU has unfair advantages over them.
Protesters drew parallels with the closure by Russian President Vladimir Putin of the European University in St Petersburg in December 2016, and the closure by Turkish President Erdogan of 15 universities since a failed coup attempt last July.
The strength of solidarity with the CEU appears to have surprised the government. The Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 15 Nobel Prize winners, the US State Department and universities around the world have expressed their support for the university.
Most damaging for the government case was a statement from the Hungarian Education Authority saying that the university was functioning completely legally.
Hungary attack on Soros prompts anger
Who is Viktor Orban?
The university built to defend democracy
The proposed legislation would set new requirements for foreign universities, including that they must have a campus in their home country.
The CEU is registered in New York state but does not have a campus in the US.
The government explained the new draft amendments on the grounds that some universities, including CEU, were breaking the law. Viktor Orban has accused CEU of "cheating", in the way it issues degrees.
One senior Fidesz official, EU Commissioner Tibor Navracsics, has also sided with the CEU against his own party.
"Central European University is one of the most important higher education institution not only in Hungary, but also in the European higher education region," he said.
"Therefore, I think it's important that after the correction of possible irregularities, it can continue to operate in Budapest undisturbed."
A compromise solution might be a new international agreement with the university and New York state. If that provides sufficient guarantees that the government will not interfere in its work, the CEU could still be saved.
About 30 businesses took the council to court after it refused to let them trade within 250 metres of schools.
The council said having the vans near schools ran counter to its promotion of healthier lifestyles for children.
At Hamilton Sheriff Court, Sheriff Vincent Smith ruled the council did not have the power to impose this condition on the licences of the street traders.
Sheriff Smith said: "That obesity among the general population and children especially is considered problematic is not in dispute.
"That elected representatives wish to confront this problem and take steps to promote healthier lifestyles is to be commended.
"Neither of these is the issue in this case. The issue is whether the defender, as a licensing authority, has the power to impose this particular condition upon the licences of street traders. In my judgement it does not."
The business affected by the exclusion zone were represented by commercial law firm TLT.
The firm's Stephen McGowan said: "I am aware that a number of other Scottish licensing authorities have similar policies which ban snack vans from being located next to schools.
"So, it may be that these policies will be revisited following this judgement, but it is of course now open to the licensing authority to consider any appeal to the Court of Session."
North Lanarkshire Council's learning and leisure services convener, councillor Jim Logue, said the authority was "very disappointed with the sheriff's decision".
"Unfortunately, the primary legislation affecting the licensing of snack vans was enacted in 1982 and does not reflect current widespread concerns regarding health-related challenges from poor diet and lack of activity," he said.
"Childhood obesity is a recognised problem, not just in North Lanarkshire but across Scotland and I believe we have a duty to look after our pupils health.
"Our policy was about sending out a clear message that snack vans parked directly outside the school gates was unacceptable and also that this authority takes its responsibility to look after the health of our young people seriously."
Councillor Logue added: "I'm now calling on the Scottish government to take action and examine what can be done to tackle this issue."
The series will explore how patent clerk Einstein could not get a teaching job or doctorate in his early life yet managed to go on to develop the theory of relativity.
The young scientist will be played by Johnny Flynn, Hollywood Reporter said.
Genius will be National Geographic's first scripted series.
Variety reported in April that Ron Howard would direct the first episode of the drama, which is based on Walter Isaacson's book Einstein: His Life and Universe.
Each episode will look at Einstein's complex personal relationships as well as his scientific achievements.
The series is expected to be shown in 171 countries and 45 languages.
Oscar-winning director Howard, who won two Oscars for A Beautiful Mind and was nominated for two for Frost/Nixon, said: "National Geographic's unwavering commitment to excellence and their support and passion for this project has helped us attract talent such as Geoffrey and Johnny."
Rush previously starred in HBO film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers and won an Oscar for 1996's Shine. He was also nominated for The King's Speech, Quills and Shakespeare in Love.
Flynn was nominated in 2012 for an Olivier for the play Jerusalem and also for London Newcomer of the Year at the What's On Stage Awards.
Rush's decision to star in the series follows on from the news earlier this month that fellow Oscar winners Robert De Niro and Julianne Moore are to star in a TV series directed by David O Russell.

Events from the outbreak of war in 1914 to the departure of troops from Flanders and France were recorded in official diaries of each military unit.
About 1.5 million diary pages are held by the National Archives and a fifth have been digitised so far.
The project is part of the government's World War One centenary programme.
Each unit in World War One was required to keep a diary of its day-to-day activities.
The first batch of 1,944 digitised diaries detail the experiences of three cavalry and seven infantry divisions in the initial wave of British army troops deployed in 1914.
Diaries from soldiers in the First Battalion South Wales Borderers portray the anxiety and terror of the opening days of the war in the battles of Marne and the Aisne.
They also reveal accounts of tug of war, rugby matches and farewell dinners to mark the end of the fighting.
A private war diary kept by one of the First Battalion's soldiers, Captain James Paterson, has also been digitised.
Captain Paterson died on 1 November, some six weeks after an entry said the scenes he witnessed were "beyond description".
"Trenches, bits of equipment, clothing (probably blood-stained), ammunition, tools, caps, etc, etc, everywhere. Poor fellows shot dead are lying in all directions. Some of ours," he said.
"Everywhere the same hard, grim, pitiless sign of battle and war. I have had a belly full of it."
Other entries record the experiences of the 4th Dragoon Guards who fought in the Battle of Mons, the first major action of the war for the British Expeditionary Force in August 1914.
There are also diaries from soldiers of the 5th (Royal Irish) Lancers who saw action continuously between 1914 and 1918 and who included the last British soldier to die in the conflict, Private George Edwin Ellison, who was shot dead on 11 November 1918.
Some 25 volunteers scanned hundreds of boxes of diaries - which had been available for the public to view at the National Archives in Kew since the late 1960s - between January and December last year.

The World War One Centenary
William Spencer, author and military records specialist at the National Archives, said it "creates opportunities for the public, history enthusiasts, family historians and researchers worldwide to explore the official records which may lead to some new discoveries and perspectives on this important period of history".
The National Archives, the Imperial War Museum and online research website Zooniverse are also launching Operation War Diary, a project aiming to encourage volunteers to uncover details from within the diaries.
Luke Smith, from the Imperial War Museum, said information that may not have previously been communicated through letters home or covered in traditional history books may be contained in the diaries.
The volunteers to the project will be given a segment of a unit war diary and asked to tag key details such as names, places and events.
The data will be used in the National Archives' catalogue descriptions for the diaries, making it easier for people to trace their army ancestors.
Culture Secretary Maria Miller said: "The National Archives' digitised First World War unit diaries will allow us to hear the voices of those that sacrificed their lives and is even more poignant now there are no living veterans who can speak directly about the events of the war."

The latest twist in the unravelling of the basket-case that is Fifa.
Because, with less than four weeks until nominations close for February's election of a new president of football's world governing body, the FA knows that mounting uncertainty surrounds the candidacy of the man it is backing to lead football into a new era.
Having been dragged into the corruption scandal that has engulfed world football's governing body, Uefa supremo Michel Platini's reputation and campaign is on the line, the Frenchman under mounting pressure to fully explain the £1.35m he received in 2011 from Fifa president Sepp Blatter for work he supposedly undertook between 1998 and 2002.
Blatter faces criminal investigations for what the Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber has described as a "disloyal payment". Both men deny any wrongdoing, and Platini has now launched a belated fightback, insisting in an interview with French news agency AFP that the delay was because Blatter had told him it was not initially possible to pay him in full for his services as a consultant due to Fifa's "financial situation".
Why he did not say this publicly last week when he was first questioned by Swiss prosecutors is unclear.
It has not gone unnoticed, of course, that according to Fifa's 2002 official finance report between 1999 and 2002 the organisation enjoyed surplus revenue of 115m Swiss francs (about £80m at the time), making it hard to accept that the body could not afford to pay Platini his fees.
What also makes all this so awkward is that shortly after Platini received the money in 2011, he backed Blatter's re-election as Fifa president, deciding not to stand against him.
Platini says that the this had nothing to do with the money he received, and that the timing was merely a coincidence, but for many, when Fifa is already on its knees after years of corruption allegations and in desperate need for transparency and integrity, the fact that the favourite to be its next leader is being treated by the Swiss authorities as "between a witness and an accused person" (according to Lauber), is a cause of grave concern.
Platini has vowed to clear his name, and told AFP that he was "calm and totally serene", but with Fifa's ethics committee looking into the affair, and the threat of a suspension hanging over his candidacy, Platini's chances of winning the election - previously regarded as a formality - appear to be in danger.
Platini may not know whether he faces suspension before the vote in February. If the life ban handed to disgraced former Fifa vice-president Jack Warner this week is anything to go by, the ethics committee will be in no rush. Its investigation into Warner began in January after all, and it took nine months to finally punish him.
It should also be remembered that Platini must pass integrity checks set by Fifa's election oversight committee to gain a place on the ballot to succeed Blatter.
This is all highly uncomfortable for the FA, whose chairman Greg Dyke firmly backed Platini's candidacy in July despite the Frenchman's long association with Blatter, and his admission in an interview with me on a visit to St George's Park in November, that he had "no regrets" over voting for Qatar as World Cup hosts.
Dyke had previously described the concept of a summer World Cup in Qatar as "ridiculous".
The FA nailed its colours to the mast a full seven months before the election, before they had seen Platini's manifesto, and declined to wait to see which other candidates might stand, ignoring the warning of the man they had supported in June's election - Jordan's Prince Ali - who said that Platini was "not good for football".
Three weeks ago, FA chief executive Martin Glenn explained at the Soccerex conference in Manchester why his organisation had supported Platini, emphasising that it would be beneficial to English football.
After years of being on the sidelines of Fifa, it was perhaps understandable that the FA took a distinctly pragmatic approach, and backed the favourite - the head of their confederation - a man who would represent their interests.
The FA was by no means alone. Platini enjoyed the support of national associations around the world, including the Scottish FA. He had demonstrated a shared interest in the importance of homegrown players. He had opposed the re-election of Blatter. But many will now wonder if the FA - who had led calls for a fresh start for the sport - were way too hasty.
Privately the FA is known to be growing impatient with Platini, and - like other national associations around Europe - is understood to be seeking assurances and answers from him after a letter he wrote to them this week failed to explain the timing of the payment he received.
Whether the further details he offered up via AFP satisfy the FA board - as well as his key supporters from the Asian Football Confederation, Sheikh Salman and Sheikh Ahmad al-Fahad al-Sabah - remains to be seen, and could decide his future.
As the FA's guest of honour at this season's Community Shield at Wembley, Prince Ali was given a standing ovation, and thanked for the role he had played in Blatter's downfall. If Platini were to withdraw from the election, be prevented from standing, or deemed too discredited, it will be fascinating to see whether the FA once again turns to the Jordanian as an alternative.
"There are times in life when you have to take your destiny into your own hands," said Platini in July when declaring he would stand.
The 60 year-old's fate may now be beyond his control.
Police are trying to trace the driver after the pensioner, who has not been named, suffered head and leg injuries on a trip home from Tesco on Oystermouth Road, Swansea.
It has been linked to a similar incident when Eirwen Ferguson, 85, was injured in a taxi from the same store.
The council said it was also investigating.
The daughter of the 100-year-old woman said she was hurt in the four-mile (6.4km) drive.
"He was chopping and changing lanes and came to a sudden halt because there was a car in front of him," she said.
"She was sitting behind the driver and catapulted forward and hit her head on the top of the seat. His seat moved backwards and she screamed. She injured her leg."
She claimed her mother knocked her head a second time after the driver "hit the kerb", adding she required medical treatment for bruising on her head and a haematoma on her injured leg.
A South Wales Police spokesman said: "All efforts to trace the taxi and the driver have proved unsuccessful. Anyone who knows the identity of the taxi or the driver is asked to call police."

Lee Nolan strangled Katelyn Parker, 24, with her own hair straighteners after she called him "gay" in August 2015.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has now found "significant failings" in the way police handled previous allegations against Nolan.
Detectives from Greater Manchester and Kent police received official warnings.
The IPCC said Nolan was allowed to "remain at liberty" and went on to kill Ms Parker in Heywood, Greater Manchester, despite two unrelated allegations of rape and one of making threats to kill.
The watchdog found the threats to kill allegation was not progressed by either police force.
There was confusion over which force would investigate the complaint as Kent Police thought Nolan had been in Manchester at the time, but Greater Manchester Police were unaware of this.
Two separate rape allegations were also subject to "severe delays and poor communication", the IPCC ruled.
The detectives were found to have cases to answer for misconduct and were subject to "management action".
In February Nolan was jailed for life and ordered to serve a minimum sentence of 18 years.
Rachel Cerfontyne, deputy chairman of the IPCC, said a "lack of organisation and inadequate communication" meant "grave offences" were not investigated.
"While it is impossible to know the full consequences of this failure, we do know that Nolan remained at liberty and went on to commit murder, albeit unrelated," she said.
"It is essential that forces have protocols in place which ensure effective policing nationwide. I strongly recommend an urgent review of current policies and practices and will be taking this forward with relevant policing bodies."
Michael Davies, 71, from Blaina, was staying at a hotel with his wife Pat when he disappeared on 26 May.
Footage shows him walking in the Sandown area at about 00:45 BST the next day and he had a torch.
Specialist officers from Hampshire Constabulary are searching reed beds near Sandown and Yaverland seafront.
There remains no evidence to suggest Mr Davies has been the victim of a crime.
The proposed investment aims to tackle congestion on the A494 and A55 around Queensferry and Deeside in Flintshire.
The Welsh Government said the road was "below modern standards" and that the investment would be the largest since the roads were built.
The first of four public exhibitions starts on Tuesday at Ewloe Social Club between 10:00 GMT and 20:00.
It is part of a 12-week consultation looking at two proposals - either improve the existing A55 and A494 or upgrade the A548 over the Flintshire Bridge between Connah's Quay and The Wirral and construct a new link to the A55 at Northop.
Original plans to widen the road at the eastern end of the North Wales Expressway to a seven-lane highway in 2008 were abandoned after a public inquiry.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Ten days ago, the world watched in horror as men, women and children were massacred in Syria in the worst chemical weapons attack of the 21st Century. Yesterday (Friday), the United States presented a powerful case that the Syrian government was responsible for this attack on its own people.
Our intelligence shows the Assad regime and its forces preparing to use chemical weapons, launching rockets in the highly populated suburbs of Damascus, and acknowledging that a chemical weapons attack took place.
And all of this corroborates what the world can plainly see - hospitals overflowing with victims; terrible images of the dead. All told, well over 1,000 people were murdered. Several hundred of them were children - young girls and boys gassed to death by their own government.
This attack is an assault on human dignity. It also presents a serious danger to our national security. It risks making a mockery of the global prohibition on the use of chemical weapons. It endangers our friends and our partners along Syria's borders, including Israel, Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon and Iraq. It could lead to escalating use of chemical weapons, or their proliferation to terrorist groups who would do our people harm.
In a world with many dangers, this menace must be confronted.
Now, after careful deliberation, I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime targets. This would not be an open-ended intervention. We would not put boots on the ground.
Instead, our action would be designed to be limited in duration and scope. But I'm confident we can hold the Assad regime accountable for their use of chemical weapons, deter this kind of behaviour, and degrade their capacity to carry it out.
Our military has positioned assets in the region. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has informed me that we are prepared to strike whenever we choose.
Moreover, the Chairman has indicated to me that our capacity to execute this mission is not time-sensitive; it will be effective tomorrow, or next week, or one month from now. And I'm prepared to give that order.
But having made my decision as Commander-in-Chief based on what I am convinced is our national security interests, I'm also mindful that I'm the President of the world's oldest constitutional democracy.
I've long believed that our power is rooted not just in our military might, but in our example as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
And that's why I've made a second decision: I will seek authorisation for the use of force from the American people's representatives in Congress.
Over the last several days, we've heard from members of Congress who want their voices to be heard. I absolutely agree.
So this morning, I spoke with all four congressional leaders, and they've agreed to schedule a debate and then a vote as soon as Congress comes back into session.
In the coming days, my administration stands ready to provide every member with the information they need to understand what happened in Syria and why it has such profound implications for America's national security.
And all of us should be accountable as we move forward, and that can only be accomplished with a vote.
I'm confident in the case our government has made without waiting for U.N. inspectors. I'm comfortable going forward without the approval of a United Nations Security Council that, so far, has been completely paralysed and unwilling to hold Assad accountable.
As a consequence, many people have advised against taking this decision to Congress, and undoubtedly, they were impacted by what we saw happen in the United Kingdom this week when the Parliament of our closest ally failed to pass a resolution with a similar goal, even as the Prime Minister supported taking action.
Yet, while I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action without specific congressional authorisation, I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course, and our actions will be even more effective.
We should have this debate, because the issues are too big for business as usual. And this morning, John Boehner, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell agreed that this is the right thing to do for our democracy.
A country faces few decisions as grave as using military force, even when that force is limited. I respect the views of those who call for caution, particularly as our country emerges from a time of war that I was elected in part to end.
But if we really do want to turn away from taking appropriate action in the face of such an unspeakable outrage, then we just acknowledge the costs of doing nothing.
Here's my question for every member of Congress and every member of the global community: What message will we send if a dictator can gas hundreds of children to death in plain sight and pay no price?
What's the purpose of the international system that we've built if a prohibition on the use of chemical weapons that has been agreed to by the governments of 98% of the world's people and approved overwhelmingly by the Congress of the United States is not enforced?
Make no mistake - this has implications beyond chemical warfare. If we won't enforce accountability in the face of this heinous act, what does it say about our resolve to stand up to others who flout fundamental international rules? To governments who would choose to build nuclear arms? To terrorist who would spread biological weapons? To armies who carry out genocide?
We cannot raise our children in a world where we will not follow through on the things we say, the accords we sign, the values that define us.
So just as I will take this case to Congress, I will also deliver this message to the world.
While the UN investigation has some time to report on its findings, we will insist that an atrocity committed with chemical weapons is not simply investigated, it must be confronted.
I don't expect every nation to agree with the decision we have made. Privately we've heard many expressions of support from our friends. But I will ask those who care about the writ of the international community to stand publicly behind our action.
And finally, let me say this to the American people: I know well that we are weary of war. We've ended one war in Iraq. We're ending another in Afghanistan. And the American people have the good sense to know we cannot resolve the underlying conflict in Syria with our military.
In that part of the world, there are ancient sectarian differences, and the hopes of the Arab Spring have unleashed forces of change that are going to take many years to resolve. And that's why we're not contemplating putting our troops in the middle of someone else's war.
Instead, we'll continue to support the Syrian people through our pressure on the Assad regime, our commitment to the opposition, our care for the displaced, and our pursuit of a political resolution that achieves a government that respects the dignity of its people.
But we are the United States of America, and we cannot and must not turn a blind eye to what happened in Damascus. Out of the ashes of world war, we built an international order and enforced the rules that gave it meaning.
And we did so because we believe that the rights of individuals to live in peace and dignity depends on the responsibilities of nations. We aren't perfect, but this nation more than any other has been willing to meet those responsibilities.
So to all members of Congress of both parties, I ask you to take this vote for our national security. I am looking forward to the debate. And in doing so, I ask you, members of Congress, to consider that some things are more important than partisan differences or the politics of the moment.
Ultimately, this is not about who occupies this office at any given time; it's about who we are as a country. I believe that the people's representatives must be invested in what America does abroad, and now is the time to show the world that America keeps our commitments. We do what we say. And we lead with the belief that right makes might - not the other way around.
We all know there are no easy options. But I wasn't elected to avoid hard decisions. And neither were the members of the House and the Senate.
I've told you what I believe, that our security and our values demand that we cannot turn away from the massacre of countless civilians with chemical weapons. And our democracy is stronger when the President and the people's representatives stand together.
I'm ready to act in the face of this outrage. Today I'm asking Congress to send a message to the world that we are ready to move forward together as one nation.
Thanks very much.
After taking out one-off costs, profits jumped 11.6% last year to £337m, the first increase for five years.
Like-for-like sales grew 1.7%, while total revenue rose 1.2% to £16.3bn despite recent store closures.
Morrisons, which is now the fastest-growing big four supermarket, said it was confident of improving further.
It warned, though, of "uncertainties" ahead, particularly of price rises of imported food if sterling stays at lower levels.
The pound fell sharply after the Brexit vote last summer, leaving retailers with the choice of raising prices or seeing their profits squeezed.
The supermarket said other pressures on costs included its pension scheme, which is currently in surplus, and higher staff pay. It said it would "continue to invest in colleague pay rates".
Morrisons has been in the throes of a reorganisation for the past two years, led by chief executive David Potts, who took over the running of the business from Dalton Phillips in February 2015.
Changes have included pulling out of running smaller convenience stores under the M name, as well as a focus on cutting prices.
The company said its Price Crunch initiative had encouraged more customer visits.
It has recently also formed a tie-up with Amazon and invested in its range of "premium" products.
Mr Potts said: "Our turnaround has just started, and we have more plans and important work ahead."
Officially described as new psychoactive substances (NPS), legal highs - or designer drugs - have been linked to a number of deaths and hospital admissions over the years.
Legal highs are psychoactive drugs that contain various chemical ingredients, some of which are illegal while others are not. They produce similar effects to illegal drugs like cocaine, cannabis and ecstasy.
They are sold in a variety of forms - powder, pills, liquids, capsules, perforated tabs and smoking mixtures, to name a few. The substances are often sold in "head shops" alongside drug paraphernalia.
There have also been reports of some people injecting legal highs. Because they cannot be labelled as being for human consumption, they are often marketed as plant food, bath salts or incense.
They are either stimulants (making users feel energised), sedatives (making users feel relaxed or euphoric), or psychedelics (altering perceptions and making users hallucinate).
The chemicals contained in legal highs have not been tested for safety, so users cannot be sure what the outcome will be. They can cause paranoia, seizures, coma and can also lead to death.
The risks can be increased when legal highs are taken with alcohol or with another psychoactive drug. Legal highs can also be addictive and there are additional risks if they are injected.
Drug advisory service Frank says: "Just because a drug is legal to possess, it doesn't mean it's safe."
Research from the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) showed that there were 97 recorded deaths from legal highs in the UK in 2012, up from 12 in 2009.
The CSJ, an independent think tank, says that the UK has the highest number of legal high users among young people in Europe.
Drug and alcohol treatment charity Addaction says the drugs are often marketed to young people through brightly coloured packaging but are also becoming the "drug of choice" for other users because they are easy to buy.
A 2014 study by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which looked at the issue of NPS abuse on a global scale, said: "The use of NPS that poses a health threat has grown rapidly over the past decade and there have been increasing reports of the availability and manufacture of such substances."
It added that due to the "fast-paced nature of the NPS market" there was a "continued need for analysis of the scope and magnitude of the global synthetic drugs problem".
The production, distribution, sale and supply of legal highs is now an offence that is punishable by up to seven years in prison, after the Psychoactive Substances Act was brought into effect on 26 May.
Possession of a psychoactive substance is not an offence, except in a "custodial institution", such as prison or young offender centres.
Drug-driving, including after using a legal high, is illegal.
In addition to the UK's ban, in the Irish Republic it is an offence to advertise, sell, supply, import or export psychoactive substances.
Lincoln had already introduced a ban on people taking legal highs in public while other councils, including Newcastle, used licensing powers or trading standards regulations to restrict sales.
Taunton had also banned their use in public places.

George Low, 22, of Dartford, was killed near a nightclub in Ayia Napa on the Greek side of the border on 14 August.
Two men, named as suspects, fled to the Turkish-controlled north and have been arrested for an unrelated offence.
Police have been told Mr Low and his friend Ben Barker were attacked after a row about urinating in the street.
Speaking about the difficulties of apprehending suspects who are in the Turkish-controlled part of the island, police chief George Economou said no-one had been handed from north to south "for many years".
The deputy for the Famagusta region of Greek Cyprus said he could not remember anyone being transferred.
Cyprus has been divided politically since 1974 when Turkey invaded the north after a military coup on the island backed by Athens.
Estate agent Mr Low's former housemate on the island, Jason Woods, said: "I don't really know too much about the politics side of it. But we're just hoping they are going to help and work together and get what's right."
Arrest warrants were issued for Mehmet Akpinar, 22, and Sali Ahmet, 42, following the stabbing.
Mr Economou said the men were detained late on Friday in the Turkish area for three days over an unconnected offence and he was waiting to hear the outcome.
Mr Woods told the BBC he was "heartbroken" by Mr Low's death.
"He lived to make people laugh, I don't think there's anyone on this island who didn't know him. He was our brother. He would be laughing at us now but it's heartbreaking," he said.
Bradley Bowden, who worked with Mr Low in Ayia Napa last year, said: "George was such an awesome guy. He wouldn't want us to feel angry.
"He's the type of guy who would laugh at everything. I've never seen him unhappy in my life. So we are angry but we'd rather celebrate his life than get angry over the situation."
Mr Low, a former club manager in Ayia Napa, and his friend Mr Barker are believed to have been stabbed after a row broke out about urinating in the street.
The police said one of the assailants allegedly returned with a knife about 10 minutes later.
Mr Barker, 22, survived stab wounds to his back in the attack in Grigori Axfentiou Street.
A warrant was also issued for a third man alleged to have helped the suspects escape to the Turkish side.
A 48-year-old woman, said to be the girlfriend of Mr Akpinar, was remanded in custody for eight days after being questioned on suspicion of taking him a fresh pair of clothes and retrieving his mobile phone.
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is former England cricket captain David Gower.
Gower became a commentator after retiring but is currently on a tour of the country in a stage show with his friend Chris Cowdrey, another former skipper of the national side.
The 59-year-old is now a Leicester fan but, as a boy, his football heroes played for a different club.
"Having played cricket for Leicestershire [from 1975 to 1989], the obvious team for me to support was Leicester City, bless them," Gower told BBC Sport.
"But growing up, when I was a schoolboy watching football for the first time, Leeds United were the best team at the time - so obviously I had to support the best team.
"So the likes of Billy Bremner, Eddie Gray, Allan Clarke, Jack Charlton and Peter Lorimer were my favourites, although it was a very long time ago."
Gower's old England team-mate Sir Ian Botham famously combined his cricket career with a stint in the Football League with Scunthorpe United.
But Gower, a stylish left-handed batsman, says that was never an option for him.
"On a scale of 0-100, my chances of playing professional football always rested at zero," he explained. "Part of the problem was that at school I played with the wrong shaped ball - rugby that is, not cricket."
You can make your Premier League predictions now and compare them with those of Lawro and other fans by playing the BBC Sport Predictor game.
A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth 10 points. The exact score earns 40 points.
Last weekend, Lawro got seven correct results, including two perfect scores from eight Premier League matches, for a total of 130 points.
He beat Let It Shine judge Martin Kemp, who got five correct results with no perfect scores, for a tally of 50 points.
They both correctly predicted the outcome of Sunday's EFL Cup final, although that game does not count towards their totals
Lawro and Kemp can still pick up extra points for their predictions for the Premier League games which were postponed at the weekend because of the EFL Cup final - Man City v Man Utd and Southampton v Arsenal.
All kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless otherwise stated.
Man Utd v Bournemouth (12:30 GMT)
Manchester United will be buoyed by their success in the EFL Cup final last weekend and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be looking to add to his goal tally.
Ibrahimovic scored against the Cherries on his league debut for United on the opening weekend of the season, and he will probably fancy his chances of getting more goals on Saturday.
Bournemouth have only taken one point from their past six league games and are having a terrible time of things.
They appear to be hurtling towards the relegation zone and, although I think their form will improve at some point, Old Trafford is not the place for them to turn things around.
The Cherries' next two games are both at home, against West Ham and Swansea, and they badly need to win at least one of them to stop the rot.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Gower's prediction: Bournemouth are not in great form at the moment, 2-0
Leicester v Hull City
I know I have not predicted a victory for Hull all season and I have been wrong about them a few times, obviously.
The Tigers upset Leicester in the first Premier League game of the season, which I did not see coming, so it is probably good news for Marco Silva's side that I don't think they are going to win on Saturday either.
Leicester's players have to keep up the level of performance they showed against Liverpool and I am guessing that, because they are back under the spotlight, they will.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Gower's prediction: The last few days have seen a real change-about for Leicester. Bye-bye Claudio Ranieri, it was fun having you, for sure. Now it a question of us trying to avoid the drop, isn't it? The Foxes are resurgent having just won our first game this year, and we will win this one too - 2-0
Stoke City v Middlesbrough
Stoke were well beaten by Tottenham last weekend, while Middlesbrough also lost, at Crystal Palace.
I would have to back Stoke here, though. Boro have not won in the league since 17 December but I am not expecting Aitor Karanka to change his team around, and go for it a little bit more.
When you play the way Boro do, their players know they will not create many chances so straightaway you are putting your strikers under pressure to take them.
Stoke have had some bad results themselves this season but, thanks to their manager Mark Hughes, they are mentally strong - which is why I would tip them to win.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Gower's prediction: 1-1
Swansea v Burnley
Burnley's draw at Hull last week was their first of four games in a row on the road. The Clarets are trying to get their first league away win of the season. Will they get it in Wales? No.
Sean Dyche's team created some chances against the Tigers but Swansea are much improved at the back these days.
The Welsh side did OK in their defeat at Chelsea last weekend and, if Lukasz Fabianski hadn't dived over Pedro's shot at 1-1, then who knows what could have happened.
In the end, Chelsea hit three and it could have been more.
This game will be a lot closer. Eventually, at some point, Burnley will end their long wait for an away win, but I don't see it happening in Wales.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Gower's prediction: Swansea are in decent form despite losing to Chelsea last week - 2-0
Watford v Southampton
Watford never seem to be in the news, which shows they must be doing something right. They are just in mid-table, doing what Watford do, and nobody really notices them, which I suppose is a good thing.
Yes, it is true you would notice them more if they were at the top of the table, but you also would if they were at the bottom - so mid-table is a good place to be.
The Hornets are one place above Southampton, who have not really got going in the league this season.
Saints' best results have come in cup competitions, against Inter Milan in Europe and in the EFL Cup against Arsenal and Liverpool.

They were unlucky to lose at Wembley against Manchester United last weekend and now they can focus fully on the league.
I don't fancy them to get anything at Vicarage Road, though. This is a tough game to call but I am going to go with the Hornets.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Gower's prediction: I don't get to watch much football these days but when I moved to play for Hampshire in 1990 I went to see Southampton play at The Dell a couple of times for a new and novel experience which, trust me, it was.
That was a long, long time ago but I do still live somewhere near Southampton, sometimes, so I am going to support them in this one - 1-2
West Brom v Crystal Palace
West Brom just keep on going - they came from a goal down to beat Bournemouth last week with Baggies boss Tony Pullis showing again what a shrewd manager he is, as his side passed the 40-point mark.
I am going to go with a draw here, though, because I just think Crystal Palace will get something on the back of last week's win over Middlesbrough.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1
Gower's prediction: Palace are in desperate straits but they did win last week - 1-1
Liverpool v Arsenal (17:30 GMT)
I think Monday's defeat by Leicester has led to Jurgen Klopp's first real crossroads moment, in so far as he needs to have a bit of a rethink in regards to the make-up of his team.
It is difficult with his current squad, because at the moment the team basically picks itself - excluding teenagers who have come through the system, he probably only has 15 or 16 players to choose from.
I think Liverpool have some really good players in there but as a team they are weak mentally and, if someone really goes at them like Leicester did, they cannot keep them at bay.
It also feels like, if Plan A fails for the Reds, they don't have anything as a back-up. Again, we saw that against Leicester.
But then you come back to the conundrum which is Liverpool's form in games against the other leading teams this season, where they are still unbeaten and top of that mini-league. Arsenal are bottom.
The Gunners have other issues, of course, with Arsene Wenger's future still under scrutiny, but they did have the benefit of a weekend off because they were meant to be playing Southampton, who were in the EFL Cup final.
Media playback is not supported on this device
This is a big game in the race for the top four and a lot of the time I tend to think these matches end up in a draw.
After the week Liverpool have had, though, wouldn't it just be typical of them to win it?
Lawro's prediction: 2-1
Gower's prediction: 1-1
Tottenham v Everton (13:30 GMT)
Tottenham made a disappointing exit from the Europa League but they never seem to be off the boil for very long, as they showed with their 4-0 win over Stoke.
Generally Spurs are very good defensively and, at the other end, they just ripped the Potters apart last week - Harry Kane's hat-trick was top drawer.
Media playback is not supported on this device
I know Everton are nine games unbeaten in the league, but going to White Hart Lane and continuing that run is a huge ask.
I have seen that Toffees boss Ronald Koeman has been linked with the Barcelona job next season but surely Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will also be interesting Barca?
It will be interesting to see what happens there but I think both managers enjoy being in the Premier League and they both also know they are building something at the moment.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0
Gower's prediction: 3-2
Sunderland v Man City (16:00 GMT)
Sunderland will set up to try to be solid but stopping Manchester City looks like a tough task - Pep Guardiola's side are in a groove and playing really well.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Sergio Aguero's goals have been a big part of that but I don't think he is doing it because he has a point to prove to Guardiola.
Anyone who has seen Aguero play knows he is a top-class player but his attitude is to just get on with things, even when he briefly found himself out of the side, and at the moment City are just so impressive going forward.
Between 2010 and 2013, the Black Cats beat City 1-0 four times in a row in league games at the Stadium of Light but I do not see a repeat of that scoreline on Sunday because, at the moment, City just have too many goals in them.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Gower's prediction: 0-3
West Ham v Chelsea (20:00 GMT)
West Ham's poor start to the season seems a distant memory now but Chelsea just keep finding a way to win games.
That is why I would back the Blues to get a win at the London Stadium and also why I don't see anyone catching Antonio Conte's side at the top of the table.
I have mentioned Manchester City striker Aguero as a player who has been out of the team and not made a fuss, well, Cesc Fabregas has done the same for Chelsea.
Fabregas has come into the team and looked fantastic and, along with Willian, is a great example of the depth they have got - Chelsea can make three or four changes and it does not seem to weaken their team whatsoever.
The Hammers have only lost one of their past six league games, and beat Chelsea in the EFL Cup in October, but I am going with the leaders to pick up another three points.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Gower's prediction: 1-1
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: 30 points (week four v Dave Bautista)
The private in the 36th Ulster Division kept a diary of his experiences throughout the war.
After the war, this small pocket book and sketch books formed the basis of a series extraordinary journals.
These included notes and descriptions of battle as well as dramatic comic-book style illustrations.
His notebooks are currently part of an exhibition in the Ulster Museum in Belfast.
Jim Maultsaid dedicated his journals, the first of which was entitled 'Star Shell Reflections', to his comrades.
"Star Shell Reflections," he wrote, "is dedicated to those chums of mine who soldiered down the years with me side by side.
"Many whom I mentioned in the book sleep their last long sleep on soil that is foreign to us - yet for evermore a little part of England."
Jim Maultsaid was an American citizen, born in Pennsylvania, USA in 1893 to Irish parents.
The family later returned to live in Letterkenny in Donegal, now in the Republic of Ireland.
He had first joined the Young Citizen Volunteers (a unionist militia linked to the UVF) before joining the 14th Irish Rifles.
His granddaughter, Newtownabbey woman Barbara McClune, has published his journals in two volumes.
"He was a very quiet man, a very gentle type of man," she recalls.
Barbara does not remember her grandfather ever speaking of this wartime experiences: "I think maybe doing the diaries was his way of coping with what happened and what he went through."
Jim Maultsaid was badly wounded on the first day of the Somme, shot through the right shoulder.
"I think he lay in no man's land for a while and then he was lucky enough to get rescued," explained Barbara.
"He was in hospital up until September, after that he came back to Belfast.
"He was in Newcastle, County Down for a while, training cadets, from there he went to Cambridge to officer training, from there he got a commission to the Chinese Labour Corps.
"He actually didn't leave the war until early 1920."
Like many other veterans, war had taken his toll on the young soldier.
"After the war, he did suffer from a lot of night tremors and had trouble sleeping for a long time," explained Barbara.
"It was post-traumatic stress apparently, which wasn't recognised then.
"There are five large diaries, he worked on them for years.
"I think it was a therapeutic thing for him after the war, he didn't talk about it but he wrote these diaries," his granddaughter added.
President Maduro has announced a 60-day emergency, giving soldiers and police wider powers to deal with the country's spiralling economic crisis.
Mr Capriles said the decree gave the president unconstitutional powers.
He called on Venezuelans to ignore it and take to the streets on Wednesday.
"We, Venezuelans, will not accept this decree. This is Maduro putting himself above the constitution," Mr Capriles told journalists.
"To impose this, he'd better start preparing to deploy the war tanks and military jets," he added.
"And I tell the armed forces: The hour of truth is coming, to decide whether you are with the constitution or with Maduro," he said.
Mr Capriles said the opposition was not calling for a military coup, but instead seeking a legal and constitutional way of ousting Mr Maduro through a recall referendum.
The state of emergency is in place for 60 days and can be renewed for another 60.
The decree was rejected by the opposition-held National Assembly late on Tuesday, but Mr Maduro had indicated that he would not abide by their decision.
At a press conference with foreign journalists in Caracas, Mr Maduro said the National Assembly had "lost political validity.
"It's a matter of time before it disappears," he added.
Mr Maduro also said that the opposition had missed the deadline for the referendum and falsified signatures.
Opposition politicians began the process two weeks ago by handing in a petition signed by 1.85 million people, well above the 1% of voters on the electoral roll needed to kick-start the process.
The constitution says that a referendum will be called to decide if the president remains in power if a second petition is signed by at least 20% of the electorate, or nearly four million people.
But the government has already made it clear that the referendum will not go ahead.
Mr Maduro accused the United States of leading a plot to deploy foreign troops in his country, and force him from office.
He told foreign journalists that a US military plane entered Venezuelan air space twice last week without authorisation.
Politicians and media from outside the country have been trying to sow chaos in Venezuela to justify intervention, he said.
"This whole campaign, has a centre. There is an axis: Madrid, Miami and Washington," said Mr Maduro.
"But there is a centre of planning, of direction, lobbying, strength and funding. That centre is located in Washington."
He promised to fight back and to do everything in his power "to continue winning the battle for internal peace".
Mr Maduro also made reference to the recent suspension of Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff to face an impeachment trial.
He described the process as a coup, backed by foreign powers.
"Wherever you can't govern, divide. They created chaos. Now they are coming after Venezuela," he said.
Venezuela is facing a serious economic crisis, with high inflation and shortage of many basic goods.
Mr Maduro accuses the country's elite of boycotting the economy to achieve its political goals.
The opposition blames the mistaken policies of Mr Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, for the crisis.
Mr Maduro was elected in 2013 for a six-year term, following the death of Mr Chavez.
The screenwriter, who created hit shows including The Liver Birds, Bread and Butterflies, passed away in a nursing home in Liverpool, her family said.
Friend and comedian Ken Dodd said she was "a lovely, lovely writer", while Jean Boht, who played Nellie Boswell in Bread, said "she loved everybody".
Lane was also hailed as a "champion of animal welfare".
Much of Lane's writing focused on women's lives and featured frustrated housewives and working class matriarchs.
She first became known for The Liver Birds, a sitcom about two women who shared a flat in Liverpool, which she co-wrote with her friend Myra Taylor.
The programme aired from 1969 to 1979 and returned for a one-off series in 1996.
Your tributes: 'The world has lost an irreplaceable jewel'
She was perhaps best known for the sitcom Bread, which depicted the working class Boswell family struggling through high unemployment and poor prospects in the late 1980s Liverpool, and ran for seven series between 1986 and 1991.
Actress Jean Boht, who played Bread's matriarch Ma Boswell, said she was "dynamic, beautiful, she looked 16 all the time always and loved her animals, more than us I think, and you know she loved everybody".
Melanie Hill, who played Aveline in the series and starred in long-running school TV drama Waterloo Road, tweeted: "Very sad to hear #CarlaLane has left us. Writer and creator of many fantastic shows."
Fellow Liverpudlian Dodd said Lane was "a great observer" who absorbed the humour of the people of Liverpool.
"She was a wonderful, a true modern comedienne writer, but as well as that, you know, she left a wonderful legacy of happiness and proving that once again ladies can be just as funny as men."
Emmy Award-winning comedy writer Simon Blackwell, who has worked on series including The Thick of It, said she was "a prolific talent".
"Her masterpiece, Butterflies, unlike anything that had come before in British sitcom," he tweeted.
Mark Linsey, director of BBC Studios, said: "Carla Lane was a supremely gifted writer of bitter-sweet family comedies, loved by generations.
"Her legacy is extraordinary. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this time."
Comedy writer and radio DJ Danny Baker tweeted a "real comedy mind and force" had left the planet.
Lane was awarded an OBE for services to writing in 1989 but returned it to the then Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2002 in disgust at animal cruelty.
In 1995, she was given a Royal Television Society award for her Outstanding Contribution to British Television.
In later life, she became known for looking after hundreds of rescue animals - running an animal sanctuary from her mansion in Horsted Keynes, Sussex, until 2009 - and was a close friend of Sir Paul McCartney's late wife Linda.
Speaking to the Observer in 2008 about their friendship, Lane said she and Linda were "friendship-struck from moment one" and bonded over their love of animals.
Lane also had an animal sanctuary named after her.
Fran Ellis, founder and trustee at the Carla Lane Animals in Need Sanctuary in Melling, Merseyside, paid tribute to a "champion of animal welfare".
Lane's family confirmed she died at Stapely Care Home on Tuesday
"With heavy hearts we said goodbye to our darling Carla today," they said.
"But with smiles on our faces we also take this opportunity to reflect on her incredible achievements all of which make us so unbelievably proud to be part of her family." | Plymouth Argyle secured an FA Cup third-round tie at Liverpool as Graham Carey's extra-time penalty ensured they won their replay at Newport County.

Grace Kissell's body was found by police at the house in Cowal Drive, Linwood, at about 14:30 on Thursday.
John Haugen, of Cowal Drive, was accused of striking Ms Kissell on the head and body repeatedly with a knife.
He made no plea or declaration when he appeared on petition at Paisley Sheriff Court.
Mr Haugen was remanded for further examination by Sheriff Colin Pettigrew.
The slide, which was added to the Orbit Tower in June last year and has had 138,245 visitors, is £12.2m in debt with interest growing by £700k a year.
Some London Assembly members have said the debt could be passed to taxpayers.
The London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) said it was under no deadline to repay the debt.
It denied public funds would be called upon.
It added the total number of people who used the attraction last year was 193,147 when including people who paid to access the Observation Tower, which was at the higher end of its projection.
Since the tower, which is the UK's tallest sculpture, was built by steel company ArcelorMittal in 2012, concerns have been raised about its financial viability.
In the financial year of 2016-17, 13,548 people bought an annual pass. But since April this year only 184 have.
In 2016, the slide was added to try to bring in more income from tower visitors.
At £16.50 a ticket, about 740,000 adults would need to go down it to pay the current debt.
16 million
Visitors to the Park
2.76 million Have used the Aquatic Centre since 2014-15, 16% more than its target
80,000 People have participated in events
13,000 People have worked in the Park since the Games
Andrew Boff, Conservative London Assembly member, said: "The tower itself is poor value for money.
"I don't think the visitor numbers justify the costs and it's not a bold visitor attraction.
"The mindset is almost, 'let's chuck it on a credit card and forget about it', and that way of thinking hasn't exactly worked out well in the past."
He added: "They gave the impression that ArcelorMittal were going to pay for all of it, then we had the slide and running costs so what's to say that taxpayers won't pay more in the future?
"I hope we never again have an Olympic Games in London."
When the tower was built, it was gifted £10m by ArcelorMittal who then also loaned it £9.2m.
The loan does not have to be paid until the LLDC has cleared other debts, such as the cost of installing the slide.
The contract also stipulates that once the tower makes a profit, 50% goes to the LLDC and 50% is used as loan repayments.
Andrew Dismore, Labour London Assembly member, said: "How long is it going to take [to pay the debt]? They always had rosy expectations.
"When something is new people always want to have a go on it, but it's quite an expensive attraction and I can't see West Ham fans going up and down it year after year.
"The money that is owed on the loan and the interest could be spent on other more important services.
"It is still a debt, it's a growing debt, and we'll have to pay for it."
But the LLDC said the current deal meant the loan would be paid from profits so taxpayers' money was not being diverted from other projects.
It added that last year the venue posted a profit of £200,000 last year, turning around a loss of £800,000 from the previous year.
A spokesman said: "It's a favourable deal for the taxpayer as it allows the tower to get established and to make a profit before the debt is repaid.
"There's no set target, it will be repaid once we can."
Thursday marks the fifth anniversary since the Olympic Games opened in the city.
Both were winners in 1957, but neither side have won their national cup since.
Falkirk have only won the Scottish Cup one other time - in 1913, when Villa were again FA Cup winners.
Villa will meet Arsenal, while Falkirk face Inverness Caledonian Thistle, after both sides won their semi-finals at the weekend.
"That's strange, that's really strange," Falkirk manager Peter Houston told BBC Scotland.
"Certainly we go in as underdogs and probably Aston Villa got to the final as underdogs as well.
"So, here's hoping that both Falkirk and Aston Villa can win the cup in 2015."
Tim Sherwood, currently battling to keep Villa in the Premier League, led his side to the final after goals from Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph defeated Liverpool.

It will be their first final since 2000, when Roberto Di Matteo scored to claim victory for Chelsea in the last one played at the old Wembley.
Back in 1957, they lifted the trophy after getting the better of Manchester United, with 99,225 packed under the Twin Towers.
Peter McParland was the hero with a double, notching seven altogether in that year's competition, as the claret and blues lifted the Cup for a then-best seventh time.
Sunday's semi-final win over Liverpool was on the 102nd anniversary of the 1913 Cup win, won through Tommy Barber's goal 12 minutes from time against Sunderland in front of 121,919 fans.
On Saturday, Craig Sibbald's only goal of the game for Falkirk saw off fellow Scottish Championship side Hibernian.
It will be the Bairns' fifth final and the first since a 1-0 loss to Rangers in 2009, when Nacho Novo scored seconds after half-time for Walter Smith's men.
That was their second attempt to win the trophy for a third time after they also lost 1-0 to Kilmarnock in 1997, the Ayrshire side gaining revenge for that defeat on 24 April 1957.
Four days earlier, the two sides drew 1-1 in front of 81,375 at Hampden, with John Prentice's penalty cancelled out by David Curlett.
In the replay in front of another huge attendance of 79,760 in Glasgow's south side, Curlett again cancelled out a Falkirk opener, this time by George Merchant.
However, Doug Moran pounced on a poor clearance in extra-time to ensure the Cup went back to Brockville for the second time.
The first of those triumphs came on 12 April 1913, with a 2-0 win over Raith Rovers in a final played at Celtic Park.
The Scottish FA had moved finals away from Hampden until 1922 after there was a riot following the 1909 Cup final replay between Rangers and Celtic.
His status grew at such a rapid rate from rookie Glasgow Warriors fly-half to undisputed holder of the Scotland number 10 jersey that it's easy to forget he is not yet two-and-a-half years into his international career.
Scottish rugby writer Alasdair Reid posed the question ahead of Russell's Test debut against the USA in June 2014: "Has a player ever gone into his first Test looking more relaxed than this?"
Russell has taken pretty much every obstacle in his stride from that moment since, and the pleasing thing is he has retained the same relaxed attitude to his rugby.
"There has been a lot in the last two-and-a-half years since I've been playing with Glasgow and Scotland," the Warriors fly-half told BBC Scotland.
"Got to the [Pro12] final twice, won the league once, played the World Cup, couple of Six Nations, so there's been a lot jammed in there.
"Everything for me has just been a new experience so I've just enjoyed it as I've kept on going. I can just have a laugh all the time. I don't get too fazed by it all.
"Although I missed the summer tour [to Japan], I had a bit of time off to reflect on everything which was quite good."
That enforced period of reflection came about in fairly horrendous circumstances.
A serious head injury suffered in last season's Pro12 semi-final defeat by Connacht had some even fearing for his future in the game, but as Scottish rugby held its collective breath, the man at the centre of the concern was typically untroubled.
"Even that night in hospital I made a joke to my big brother and he burst out laughing," Russell said. "The nurse didn't know what was happening, but my big brother found it funny and I think since then I've not really been affected by it at all.
"I think more so it was for my family. My wee brother's in Thailand and he saw it in the news and I think he got a wee bit of a shock from it. My mum and dad who were there got a bit of a shock. But I've been fine from it, I've not really had any affects from it. Just back to how I was."
When contemplating which of the international superstar fly-halves the former Stirling County man would have based his playing style on (let's call it 'no risk, no reward'), one comes to mind. Although he confesses there was "nobody I really idolised" growing up, he offers the very same name as his interviewer.
"Carlos Spencer was a 10 that tried things that if he pulled them off they were amazing, but if he didn't people questioned why he tried it," Russell says of the maverick former New Zealand fly-half.

"The way I play, if I see something I'm going to try it rather than go with the safe option all the time.
"It might be a bit risky, but that's one thing that [Scotland head coach] Vern Cotter brings, he gives players confidence to try things. If they don't pull it off it's on them, but as long as there's a reason behind what they tried then it's worth the risk if it's a good reward at the end."
A further obvious comparison is with his Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend, a similarly threatening 10 with ball-in-hand in a playing career that saw him scale the heights of a Five Nations title win with Scotland in 1999 and a Lions series win in South Africa in 1997.
Under Townsend's tutelage, Russell has been educated in all aspects of being a complete international 10, rather than just the ability to dip into the box of magic from time to time.
"I've learned a lot from Gregor," explained Townsend's protege, who has gained 19 caps since breaking into the national team.
"Him being my coach has really helped me, being a young 10 breaking into the scene. He's helped me not just with my running game but a lot more from the tactical side of it.
"I've had to learn that it's not just all about running the ball and trying things from everywhere, you've got to play the tactical side.
"For a lot of people I think if they're enjoying the sport and enjoying the game then they'll play better. I like to have fun when I'm on the pitch."
Russell and his team-mates will test themselves against Australia - who "played outstandingly well" against Wales last weekend - at BT Murrayfield on Saturday.
It will be the first meeting of the sides since the unforgettable, gut-wrenching World Cup quarter-final defeat by the Wallabies at Twickenham last year.
Referee Craig Joubert's ill-judged penalty award saw Scotland lose at the death with a semi-final place in their grasp, so has the pain eased 12 months on?
"The team didn't dwell on it too much," Russell says more convincingly than you might imagine.
"We were still hurting from it a month or two after it but everyone does realise that it's a game, it's sport and these things happen.
"We played so well that game and came so close. All the boys, although we were down after losing because we had given it our all and given it our best shot, we had to take it on the chin and just get on with it.
"Sometimes it just doesn't happen."
All individual performances from home nations players - domestic league, European club competition, autumn Tests and Six Nations - will be judged in a wider context this season, with the Lions tour to New Zealand on the horizon.
Russell cannot deny the thought of pulling on the famous red jersey donned by British and Irish rugby's finest has not entered his head, but it remains at the back of his mind rather than the forefront.
"For all the boys playing at international level it's definitely an ambition to play for the Lions," he added. "It's the highest honour you can get for a British rugby player.
"It's still six or seven months away. It's on your mind but I'm not really looking too far forward.
"I've only just come back from injury so I'm just getting back into playing with Glasgow and hopefully with Scotland so I'm just looking forward to having a crack at the autumn Tests and then build from there."

Only a new world record from Hungary's Daniel Gyurta could deny the 23-year-old gold, while Japan's Ryo Tateishi took bronze.
Jamieson, in his debut Olympics, came charging down the final 50m to deafening noise in the Aquatics Centre and closed right up on Gyurta.
But the 2011 world champion held on to touch in 2 mins 07.28 secs, just 15 hundredths of a second ahead of the fast-finishing Glaswegian and clear of Tateishi's 2:08.29.
Jamieson's compatriot and training partner Andrew Willis was in the medal mix at 150m but paid for his efforts late on to finish down in eighth.
Double Olympic champion Kosuke Kitajima of Japan, aiming to be the first man in Olympic swimming history to win the same event at three consecutive Games, could only finish fourth.
But Jamieson's surprise medal - he was only fifth at last year's World Championships, and second at the British Championships earlier this year - brought the best noise of the Games so far from the packed stands.
Britain's swimmers have under-performed at these Olympics so far, with just Rebecca Adlington's 400m freestyle bronze to show from the first five days of competition.
Jamieson, who came to London as far more of a medal outsider than some of his more illustrious team-mates and set a new British record in his heat, could never be accused of the same crime.
He said afterwards: "I loved it. I had a little more to give after last night. It's so much easier to swim with a bit of confidence behind you.
"I cannot believe I have got 2:07, but I forgot about the time tonight - it was more tactical. I tried to stay on Gyurta's shoulder for the first hundred. I wanted to have everything on the line.
"I was desperate to get on the podium tonight to repay the faith and support we've had. After last night I thought I could win it but he was too strong in the end.
"I had planned for this night and that helped with the nerves beforehand. For so many years I have gone over this in my head.
"Unbelievable swim. Jamieson did everything he could possibly do, he almost ran Gyurta down. That's one of the best swimming races we've seen all week, and it involved a Brit. Well done Michael Jamieson. He has not lost the gold there, but earned the silver. He was just outside the world record. He knocked two seconds off the British record to get the silver - a great swim."
"I couldn't have done any more. It was everything I hoped it would be - the crowd bringing me down the final 50m was the greatest experience of my life."
Jamieson's medal was the first by a British male in the pool at an Olympics since Steve Parry took 200m butterfly bronze in Athens in 2004.
And when he stood on the podium in front of his home crowd, which included Prince Harry and comedian turned charity swimmer David Walliams, the 17,000-strong support roared their appreciation.
With Adlington's preferred event, the 800m freestyle, still to come in the pool, Great Britain could yet match the three medals they won indoors in Beijing four years ago. The team's other three medals at the last Olympics came in the open-water events.

The Prince and the Duchess of Cornwall toured St Patrick's Church during a visit in May as part of its 200th anniversary celebrations.
The Donegall Street church has seen a number of flashpoint incidents outside its doors in recent years.
In 2012, a band played a song perceived to be sectarian outside the church.
Thirteen members of the band were convicted of playing the Famine Song, which is played to the same tune as the Beach Boys' Sloop John B but with anti-Catholic lyrics.
Their convictions were subsequently overturned on appeal.
Restrictions have since been placed on parades passing the church, with residents from nearby nationalist neighbourhoods staging protests against the marches.
The money donated by Prince Charles is to be used for renovation work at the church.
Fr Michael Sheehan, the church's administrator, said: "One of the challenges which the parish faces is raising much needed funds to restore the church's disintegrating stonework.
"The present church is an imposing edifice, rendered in sandstone and in the Romanesque style.
"Regrettably, its future is in jeopardy as its facade is worn and crumbling and in need of major repair.
"The first phase of works is estimated to cost in the region of £1.5m, with total works likely to exceed a colossal £5m."
Fr Sheehan said the church had been "encouraged in their fundraising efforts by incredibly generous benefactions".
He added that St Patrick wanted to "recapture the energy, enthusiasm and dedication" of those who built the church and secure the building's future.
St Patrick's Church expects renovation work to commence on its spire in next month.
The country's highest court ordered the firm to compensate ex-employee Nkosana Makate for the Please Call Me service.
He waged a nine-year court battle, accusing Vodacom of breaching an agreement to pay him.
Please Call Me was introduced in 2001, allowing prepaid phone users to send a free text asking to be phoned back.
"I have no hard feelings towards Vodacom. I love the company. I worked for it since I was 18-years-old‚" a visibly elated Mr Makate said after the judgment, South Africa's Times Live news site reports.
"I've been on this road for 16 years‚ nine years now in trial‚ after three dismissals by the lower courts. It's been a long journey for me‚" he added.
The Constitutional Court overturned a ruling of a lower court, which said that while Please Call Me was Mr Makate's idea he could not claim payment as he only had an oral agreement with Vodacom's director of product development, Philip Geissler, who lacked the authority to make a deal on behalf of the firm.
Mr Makate has previously told local media that the invention had generated about 70bn rand ($5bn; £3bn) for Vodacom and he wanted a 15% cut of that.
A lawyer for Vodacom was quoted by local media as saying they were studying the judgement.

He claims he was unfairly dismissed by Chesterfield High School when new bosses terminated his contract in 2011.
When the school became an academy they said his £4,500-a-year employment "arrangement" was "inequitable".
A judge has dismissed his appeal against an employment tribunal ruling he was not entitled to compensation.
Mr Anderson claimed the school got "kudos" as a result of being "associated with the mayor of Liverpool".
Judge Daniel Serota said Mr Anderson - who can claim an annual allowance of nearly £80,000 as the directly elected mayor - started work at the school in 2001 when it was under local authority control.
He had been employed as a senior learning mentor, a title later changed to "social inclusion officer", on a salary of £29,000.
Mr Anderson stopped working at the school five years ago after he became leader of Liverpool City Council on an allowance of about £50,000 a year, said the judge.
The local authority which then controlled the school - Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council - agreed he could continue as a staff member under legislation which allows employees to hold public office.
The authority agreed to pay him the "maximum allowed as paid leave" - 208 hours a year - and had "held open" his post and continued to pay pension contributions.
When the school became an independent academy in late 2011, new bosses said pupils were getting "no benefit" for the £4,500 a year paid to Mr Anderson, so "terminated the agreement".
In a written ruling, the judge dismissed Mr Anderson's appeal and suggested Mr Anderson had "not given sufficient attention" to how the arrangement "might look to outsiders".
He suggested it might be considered a "reverse ... zero hours contract" and could have been a "public relations disaster for the school".
"The school was reasonably entitled to regard the arrangement as inequitable and unsustainable."

The Force Awakens is the seventh film in the franchise and the first of a new trilogy of sequels.
It's not due to be released until 18 December 2015, but a special minute-and-a-half teaser clip was put online on Friday.
The new film is set 30 years after the end of Episode VI, Return of the Jedi.
It brings back original Star Wars characters Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia, which is sure to please some life-long fans of the films.
One cinema in Texas, USA, is showing the trailer 17 times in a row and hosting a big discussion between Star Wars experts.
Round-table discussions have begun over the issues of over paramilitary activity and welfare reform.
Theresa Villiers said all parties had "committed themselves" to the talks.
The political crisis was sparked by the murder of ex-IRA man Kevin McGuigan Sr last month.
Northern Ireland's police chief said members of the IRA had been involved in the killing and that the organisation was still in existence.
The resulting row led the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) to withdraw from Northern Ireland's ruling executive.
Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Peter Robinson later stepped aside as first minister, with three of his party's ministers also resigning.
The two parties committed last week to joining cross-party talks after the government commissioned an independent assessment of paramilitary organisations in Northern Ireland.
Unionists said the issue of continued paramilitary activity was crucial to their involvement in the discussions.
Mr Robinson, who joined Monday's talks after being discharged from hospital, said his party had six key proposals to bring to the table.
One of those would be the establishment of a "permanent" structure to examine paramilitary activity.
He said that body would be able to impose sanctions "to anybody who breaches" its terms.
Ms Villiers said Tuesday's talks would concentrate on finance and welfare issues.
"Implementing these aspects of the Stormont House Agreement is essential if the executive is to have a workable and sustainable budget," she added.
During a break from Monday's talks, Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said anyone with evidence linking his party to criminality should go the police.
In a strongly worded message, the deputy first minister said: "It is now time to put up or shut up."
He accused some of the other parties of being "mischievous" by suggesting Sinn Féin was involved in criminality.
"If anybody has any information whatsoever about any party in government being involved in criminality, then they should put it up on the table and, more importantly, they should put it to the [Police Service of Northern Ireland]," he said.
Read more on how the crisis unfolded
UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said his party entered the talks "with some concerns, not least about whether there will be a two-party carve-up in a parallel process".
But he added his party would offer "imaginative work around some of the blockages".
Social Democratic and Labour Party leader Alasdair McDonnell said dealing with the past was a priority.
"The past must be dealt with and victims and survivors must be dealt with honestly and honourably," he said.
Alliance Party leader David Ford said a deal had to be made.
"We need to end the culture of insidious paramilitarism and to reform the institutions so that we don't keep having a crisis year after year," he said.
At the Northern Ireland Assembly on Monday, Mr Robinson nominated Michelle McIlveen to take over as the minister for regional development, replacing the UUP's Danny Kennedy who resigned in August.
But she later resigned from the position, in line with the DUP's "no business as usual" protest action.
They defrauded one person out of £650,000 and another victim was the late grandmother of actor Jude Law.
Meinwen Parry, 89, who died in March 2015, had paid out £60,000 for work which should have cost about £3,500.
Sentencing took place at Caernarfon Crown Court on Friday.
Judge Huw Rees said the level of greed was outstanding.
Stephen Jones, 38, from Llangefni, Anglesey, targeted Ms Parry's home at Bangor, Gwynedd.
He and Bedwyr Roberts, 35, from Bangor, also took £650,000 in life-savings from cancer patient John Bates between 2009-16, the court heard.
They were jailed for eight and six years respectively.
The offences centred around "extortionate" costs for roofing and building work undertaken in the Anglesey, Bangor and Conwy areas, said North Wales Police. The other defendants sentenced were:
After the hearing, investigating officer Det Con Catherine Walker said the case "demonstrated just how low some people will sink to exploit the vulnerable in our community".
"These were despicable acts where elderly, vulnerable people were deliberately targeted and deprived of their life savings.
"Money that was needed to ensure a comfortable retirement has seemingly vanished and at this point there seems little hope in tracing and returning it to its rightful owner."
She said: "Sadly, one of the victims has since passed away but I hope on their families' behalf, and for the other victims, they will at least take some degree of reassurance in today's sentencing."
Andrew Warman, senior crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service, said Jones had "harassed the victims for vastly inflated sums of money", returning to two of them repeatedly for more money.
"The devastating impact on the victims was made clear to the court and all the defendants have now faced the consequences of their actions," he said.
Around 3.6m people in the UK suffer from type 2 diabetes, which costs the NHS up to £10bn a year to treat.
A leading bariatric surgeon told Inside Out surgery was "the closest thing to a cure" and should be used more often.
Only type 2 patients with a BMI over 30 are currently eligible under obesity guidelines.
At least 15% of sufferers are of normal weight and therefore don't qualify for operations like gastric bypasses on the NHS.
Of those who do meet the criteria - less than 1% access surgery.
The Chair of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery at Kings College, Professor Francesco Rubino, has been researching the effects of bariatric surgery on type 2 diabetes for 15 years.
"I don't think this is seen as a lifesaving operation as it is," he told the BBC.
"The biggest barrier we have is primarily one of stigma against obesity. The vast majority of the public believes this is a cosmetic intervention and unfortunately many physicians think the same way."
Professor Rubino said operations involving the manipulation of the stomach or intestine do not just help people lose weight - they also alter hormones in the gut, which in turn influences insulin production.
"More than 50% of people with type 2 diabetes can enjoy long term remission. Another 30 or 40% enjoy a major improvement," he added.
How does it work?
Bariatric surgery refers to a set of operations carried out with the primary intention of helping people who are morbidly obese lose weight.
The two most common types of weight loss surgery are:
Gastric band, where a band is used to reduce the size of the stomach so a smaller amount of food is required to make someone feel full.
Gastric bypass, where the digestive system is re-routed past most of the stomach so less food is digested to make someone feel full.
Professor Rubino said the use of bariatric surgery was currently "shaped around weight loss", with remission from diabetes seen as a by-product.
Instead, he said, it should be offered as a "standard treatment" for type 2 patients, who are not responding to dietary or pharmaceutical intervention, regardless of BMI.
He wants to see guidelines from the National Institute for Health Care and Excellence (NICE) updated to reflect this.
"Diabetes care practitioners don't use BMI to decide whether you go on one medication or another. So why should surgery be regulated by a parameter that is foreign to the management of diabetes?
"In patients who have done everything possible - what is the point of not offering it, just because their BMI does not fit the criteria that we have arbitrarily introduced for the treatment of obesity?"
Professor Rubino said type 2 diabetes was often "dismissed as something that can be easily managed through diet and exercise".
"When diabetes is fully developed it becomes a serious disease and many patients - 50% or more - are not able to control it, no matter how many medications they take," he added.
He said each bariatric operation costs £6,000, making it "one of the most cost effective interventions in medicine at the moment".
Barbara Gratton, 53, suffered with type 2 Diabetes for nearly 20 years.
It was caused by a genetic disorder called Familial Partial Lipodystrophy, which prevents her body from properly storing fat and caused her pancreas to malfunction.
Mrs Gratton's low weight meant she did not quality for bariatric surgery under the current obesity guidelines set by NICE.
"My systems had become resistant to any kind of medication. So I was looking at the co-morbidities - heart failure, stroke, blindness," she said.
Mrs Gratton was so worried about her future she signed up to Dignitas, an assisted suicide organisation.
Diabetes is a condition that causes a person's blood sugar to become too high.
Type 1 can develop at any age, but often begins in childhood. It is not related to diet or lifestyle.
Type 2 is far more common. It is usually seen in adults and can be associated with obesity. It can lead to serious complications, including kidney failure, blindness and heart disease.
It's the most common cause of vision loss and blindness in people of working age.
After a two year battle with "NHS bureaucracy" she was eventually offered surgery - but at that point she had already signed up for private treatment under Professor Rubino.
She underwent a bypass operation at Kings College Hospital on 5 September and within days she was off the insulin needed to control her blood sugar levels.
"It allows me to have a normal life, even with my underlying condition.
"If you have type 2 diabetes at these lower BMIs - £6,000 will get it done and reduce liver cancer and strokes."
Some 6,000 bariatric operations are carried out in the UK every year. Around a quarter of these patients have type 2 diabetes.
Britain lags behind other European countries, where around 50,000 bariatric operations are carried out every year.
Even those who fall within the weight parameters set by NICE can struggle to gain access on the NHS.
David Benge, 56, from Hastings, recently had gastric bypass at Kings. He was initially told he was not "big enough" despite having a BMI of 36.
"From GP level they were saying it's not enough for us to refer you," he said.
"So there was a bit of pushing... at the time to get me referred, which they did in the end."
Mr Benge's blood sugar levels also dropped dramatically in the days after surgery.
Director of the Centre for Guidelines at NICE, Professor Mark Baker, said there might be scope to extend obesity and diabetes' guidelines in the future.
"There is very little doubt that people with type 2 diabetes - and at any level of weight - can see their glucose control improved by bypass surgery," he added.
"It is an effective treatment and we'd like it to be more widely available. But there are other priorities in diabetes and there is a limited budget."
An NHS England spokesperson said: "Bariatric surgery should only be considered for severe obesity where other approaches have not been successful."

A mother and her two daughters - one aged just 17 - were allegedly killed by her stepson.
He had apparently seen a family video in which the daughters were shown laughing in front of their family home.
The woman's stepson appears to have considered the footage an assault on the family's honour.
So-called honour killings are common in northern Pakistan where women are seldom seen by men other than their relatives.
The latest attack took place in Gilgit Baltistan after recordings of the women were circulated in recent months in the remote and mountainous area which is renowned for the conservative lifestyle of its inhabitants.
In the mobile phone footage - seen by the BBC - the young women are filmed smiling and laughing in the rain outside their family home, with some little girls.
An audio recording was also passed around, of a woman allegedly thanking an admirer for a gift.
The BBC's Orla Guerin in Islamabad says that five young women and two men were reported killed in the same region last year after footage emerged of them singing and dancing together at a wedding.
The killings were said to have been ordered by a tribal Jirga, or local council.
But locals denied anyone had been killed when Pakistan's Supreme Court send a fact-finding mission to the area,
Leading human rights campaigners however expressed fear that all those in the wedding video were dead.
Campaigners say more than 900 women were killed in Pakistan last year in the name of family honour.
In spite of reform in the law they say conviction rates are not encouraging and in most cases the killers escape justice.
The Gallipoli campaign was fought on the Turkish peninsula in 1915 in an effort to capture Constantinople.
It resulted in considerable losses for Britain, her allies and the Turks.
The war memorials in Warwickshire, Kent and Greater Manchester are among up to 2,500 being listed over five years to mark the 100th anniversary of WWI.
The 29th Division War Memorial, in Stretton-on-Dunsmore, Warwickshire, has been upgraded from Grade II to Grade II* and is thought to be the most significant single memorial in Britain associated with the Gallipoli campaign.
It marks the spot where King George V reviewed the men of the 29th Division in 1915 before they embarked for Gallipoli where they suffered heavy losses.
St George's Church War Memorial Cross in Deal, Kent, has been listed at Grade II*, and was originally a private family memorial to two sons, one of whom, Arthur Tisdall, was killed at Gallipoli.
He was in command of 13 Platoon, D Company, Anson Battalion, and was awarded a Victoria Cross for his bravery.
Later, it was decided to add the names of other men from the parish who died as the war progressed.
The Lancashire Fusiliers memorial, in Gallipoli Gardens, Bury, Greater Manchester, has been upgraded from Grade II to Grade II*.
The regiment suffered notably heavy losses when a large allied force landed in the Dardanelles intending to take Constantinople from the Turks.
In a ten-month stalemate, more than 1,800 Fusiliers were killed, and the regiment was awarded six Victoria Crosses.
Three commemorative ceremonies will be held in London on the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings on 25 April.
There will also be a service in Gallipoli, in Turkey, the day before.
Troops from Australia and New Zealand also took part in the campaign and the date of the landings is known as Anzac Day.
"And in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, 'You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story'."
To some, that statement was evidence of what many already believed - the president decided to fire Mr Comey to impede the FBI's investigation into the Russia scandal.
That has led to speculation that the president may have obstructed justice - a criminal offence. But experts say that suspecting obstruction of justice and proving it are two very different things.
Broadly speaking, obstruction of justice is any interference with a judicial or congressional proceeding. It might commonly be applied in cases where someone has tampered with evidence, intimidated a witness, or failed to report a crime.
The key legal statute in this case is 18 US Code Section 1512, which contains a broad definition allowing charges to be brought against someone who "obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so".
"The statutes are quite broadly written," said Alex Whiting, a former prosecutor and law professor at Harvard Law School, "but the key factor, certainly in this case, is intent."
Mr Trump was well within his legal rights in sacking Mr Comey. "The president can fire an FBI director for turning up in the wrong tie or socks, if he wants to," said Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan.
"The real question is whether in doing so he was attempting to impede the FBI's investigation."
Section 1512 requires a person not only to attempt to obstruct justice but to do it with "corrupt" intent.
"That's the key word here," said Mr Whiting. "The government would have to prove that it was done corruptly, defined as having a bad intent or wrongful purpose."
Proving corrupt intent on Mr Trump's part would be difficult, Mr Whiting said, given that the president had also accused Mr Comey of poor management of the FBI and of mishandling the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.
"He has provided all these other explanations for why he fired him, so trying to prove beyond reasonable doubt that those were all false would be very tough."
Mr Trump's remarks could, however, go on to form part of a body of evidence, said Christopher Slobogin, a law professor at Vanderbilt University.
"You would need more of a smoking gun," he said. "But it depends what we hear about what happened in the Oval Office, and what Trump himself says. He seems to have no compunction about saying whatever's on his mind so, who knows?
Under the constitution, impeachment proceedings require a president to have committed "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanours". Ruling out the first two, in this case, the terms "high crimes and misdemeanours" are loosely defined but obstruction of justice, if proved, would "clearly count", Ms Karlan said.
The charge was levelled against former presidents Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon during their impeachment proceedings. Clinton was impeached by the House but not the Senate, Nixon resigned first.
More importantly in this case, impeachment has a political dimension. It would require the support of a majority of members of Congress, and with a Republican majority in both houses that is highly unlikely, as things stand.
"We are far from that point," said Mr Whiting. "Even if it smells like obstruction of justice, unless there was clear evidence of criminality. It won't rise to the level of impeachment.
"And there would be great resistance in Congress. It would tear the country apart, there would be paralysis for months."
Not yet, said Ms Karlan. "Right now this is a president behaving extraordinarily badly. The question is what will the various institutions of government do about this.
"If it becomes clear that the president is trying to obstruct justice and Congress does nothing, that moves us towards a constitutional crisis. If Congress doesn't fulfil its role as a check on the president, that's a real problem."
The Chinese-born, London-based artist has won the Catlin Art Prize, which rewards emerging talents who have been out of art school for a year.
Her winning installation includes torso-like objects connected by pipes.
The judges said she took viewers on a "compelling and unsettling journey".
Zhu Tian moved to the UK in 2002 and did a degree in economics before taking the MA Sculpture course at the Royal College of Art.
Her prize money will show up in another work, Money, in which she has promised to use her website to publish her bank balance on the first day of every month until she dies.
Paul Schneider, who studied at the Royal Academy of Arts, picked up £2,000 as winner of the Visitor Vote after a poll of people who have seen the exhibition of shortlisted artists.
Schneider's installation Breaking the Rules (above) presents a shrunken and compressed sports court.
The other nominees included the Jon Baker, who has created Mother's Medal (Kink) (above), large-scale photographic collages using colourful magnified images of organic material.
Felicity Hammond was nominated for Capital Growth (above) and You Will Enter An Oasis, which feature a vision of decaying opulence.
At 22, Oliver Hickmet was the youngest artist on the shortlist. His work Are We Nearly There Yet (above) also used photo collages to highlight how property developments are enhanced and marketed as lifestyle concepts.
Camouflaged faces peer out from Honolulu-born Nicholas William Johnson's foliage- and graffiti-covered hoardings, titled Plant of Many Faces (The Bush Said Nothing).
In a darkened room, Lexi Strauss uses paintings, projections and the sound of anecdotes and lullabies to bring her work, including Babyklappe, Germany (above), to life.
The cover images from Mills and Boon novels have been painted onto the backs of black leather jackets in Dominic Watson's Lowbrow Ecstasy. Watson, who went to the Glasgow School of Art, is the only nominee who did not study in London.
The exhibition is at the Londonewcastle Project Space in east London until 30 May.
Anne Dufourmantelle entered the water after the children got into difficulty in strong winds at Pampelonne beach, near St Tropez, on Friday.
The two children were later rescued by lifeguards and were unharmed.
The French culture minister, Françoise Nyssen, said Dufourmantelle was a "great philosopher who helped us live".
Witnesses said Dufourmantelle, 53, was bathing 50m (164 ft) from the two children when an orange warning flag at the beach was changed to red, indicating that bathing was prohibited due to dangerous conditions.
She immediately tried to reach them but was carried away in a strong current. Attempts to resuscitate her after she was recovered failed, France 3 reported (in French).
It was unclear if she knew the children involved in the incident.
Her funeral is due to be held in Ramatuelle, southern France, on Tuesday.
Dufourmantelle wrote numerous essays on the importance of taking risks and the need to accept that exposure to any number of possible threats is a part of everyday life, including the book Praise of Risk, published in 2011.
"A great philosopher, a psychoanalyst, she helped us to live and think about the world today," Ms Nyssen wrote on Twitter.
Fellow French philosopher Raphaël Enthoven tweeted that he was "sad to learn of the death" of Dufourmantelle, adding that she "spoke so well of dreams".
In a 2015 interview with French daily Liberation (in French), where Dufourmantelle later worked as a columnist, she said that the idea of "absolute security - like 'zero risk' - is a fantasy".
"When there really is a danger that must be faced in order to survive, as for example during the Blitz in London, there is a strong incentive for action, dedication, and surpassing oneself," she said.
"It is said: 'to risk one's life', but perhaps one should say 'to risk life', [because] being alive is a risk," Dufourmantelle added.
"Life is metamorphosis," she said, adding: "It begins with this risk."
Dufourmantelle had argued that fear can be - and is - used "as a political weapon for the control of freedoms". She said that any offer to the public of increased protection and security can act to reinforce control and diminish life's freedoms.
Security in any visual sense, such as armed officers on streets during heightened terror alerts or threats, she said, can also generate or increase fear.
"To imagine an enemy ready to attack from time to time induces a state of paralysis, a feeling of helplessness which calls for a maternal response - supposedly all protective. Today, we desire this overprotection," she told Liberation.
Dufourmantelle earned a doctoral degree in philosophy from Paris-Sorbonne in 1994, but later went on to practise psychoanalysis. She was awarded the Raymond de Boyer Prize of Sainte-Suzanne for philosophy in 1998.
After three shots at the par four, Els was within three feet of the hole but then took seven putts - the final two of which were hit with one hand.
The 46-year-old South African, a four-time major winner, immediately slipped back to six over par.
The Masters had previously seen nine players officially suffer a double-figure score.
"It is really disappointing," former PGA tour professional Jay Townsend said on BBC Radio 5 live. "It ruins your week. There is no way back, even if you play well.
"Ernie Els has had this problem for a while, he's been yippy. Right now I am sure his head is just spinning."
Els used a belly putter when he won the last of his major titles at the 2012 Open Championship, but has had to revert to a short-handled club since anchored strokes were banned on 1 January.
He had putting problems at the end of last season and missed an 18-incher on the way to missing the cut at the SA Open in January.
He has since switched to a cross-handed method and finished 18th at the Dubai Desert Classic in February.
Billy Casper took a 14 at the 16th in 2005 but did not submit his card and was disqualified.
That left the 13s taken by Tsuneyuki Nakajima at the par-five 13th in 1978 and Tom Weiskopf at the par-three 12th in 1980 as the worst one-hole scores in Masters history.
The most recent double-figure score was recorded by American David Duval with his 10 at the par-five second in 2006.
The previous worst score on the first hole was eight strokes, recorded by four players.

Police said they found a man in his 30s with stab wounds at Shepard House on the Winstanley Estate in Battersea shortly after 18:00 BST on Wednesday.
He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. Two other men were found nearby with knife injuries and taken to hospital.
Scotland Yard said the stabbing was not linked to the Russell Square attack.
They added that there was no suspicion of any terror-related motive.
No arrests have been made.
The two men remain in a south London hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The victim, named as George "Geordie" Gilmore, was critically injured on Monday afternoon.
The shooting is being linked to a long-running loyalist feud in the town.
The papers report he posted a message on Facebook shortly before the attack, saying: "The days of the UDA putting people out of Carrick are over."
Inside, the Belfast Telegraph says that rival loyalists crowd came face-to-face after the shooting with tension high in the town.
The Irish News says there was a heavy police presence in Carrickfergus on Monday night amid fears of possible reprisals and that officers wearing tactical gear carried out raids.
The Mirror leads with an attack on a female prison officer at Maghaberry Prison.
It says she was slashed on the face, jaw and neck with a make-shift blade, with a source telling the paper she was attacked shortly after telling a prisoner to tidy his cell.
Monday's gun attack pushes political developments off the front pages and inside the papers.
Neither the Belfast Telegraph nor the News Letter is impressed by events at Stormont on Monday.
"After seven weeks, MLAs back in Assembly chamber... for 45 minutes," reports the News Letter.
The Telegraph says: "MLAs clock in for 45 minutes then promptly head home".
However, The Irish News says the Irish foreign minister hailed the parties' "positive attitude" during talks.
In keeping with his more positive outlook, Charlie Flanagan is pictured at Stormont beneath Monday's clear blue skies.
On a much less positive note, all four papers report that a family support service in Belfast that works with hundreds of vulnerable children and their families has been told it must close on 31 March.
Some 47 members of the Intensive Family Support Service will lose their jobs as its funding is being cut.
Also expressing concern about the political impasse at Stormont is the Equality Commission's Dr Michael Wardlow.
He tells the News Letter: "Any significant delay in restoring devolution means that important outstanding equality matters will be incapable of being progressed."
The Belfast Telegraph features an interview with Belfast grandmother Karen Boucher, who has been told she must wait 95 weeks for an "urgent" hospital appointment.
Ms Boucher, who fears she could have cancer, says no politician would have had to wait so long.
The Irish News says concerns have been raised about bonfire materials being dumped at a site in an Antrim housing estate months before the 11 July loyalist bonfires.
It follows similar concerns being raised about material dumped on the site of the £40m Connswater Community Greenway in east Belfast.
Finally, Strabane has a new claim to fame, says the Belfast Telegraph.
Over the last 12 months, the County Tyrone town's residents have bought more garden gnomes than any other Northern Ireland town, according to supermarket chain Asda.
This very much bucks the trend, as apparently Northern Ireland's gnomes have been going through a tough time recently - their population halving between 2005 and 2015.
It seems for Strabane, gnome is where the heart is.
Jean Evans, from St Clears, joined Carmarthenshire Constabulary as a Woman Police Constable in 1953, aged 21.
In 1958 she was promoted to sergeant in Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire Constabulary - the first female in the force to rise to the rank.
Now in her eighties, Mrs Evans said the role was very different to that today.
"Discipline was strict," she said.
"Policewomen were required to keep their hair short, not wear jewellery and seldom removed their hats.
"Indeed, if you were seen without your hat you would be put on a charge."
In the 1950s, policewomen were responsible for dealing with women and children, and one of Mrs Evans' responsibilities as a sergeant was to supervise policewomen in other stations.
She would regularly visit each of the 39 pubs in Carmarthen, where underage drinking was rife and indecent language was "dealt with firmly", with the culprits often ending up in court.
Mrs Evans said: "All we had was a whistle and no radios or anything like that."
She recalled a day when she was dropped off at a road block in the countryside and forgotten about.
"I had to eat blackberries from the hedgerow until I was picked up," she said.
"As darkness fell I managed to get a message to headquarters via a passing motorist. It turned out the suspects had been arrested earlier and I had been forgotten."
One of the first cases Mrs Evans was involved in was the notorious 1953 Pendine murders of John and Phoebe Harries, which were investigated by Det Supt John Capstick of Scotland Yard.
Their nephew Ronnie Harries was convicted of their murders and was one of the last men to be hanged in Wales.
Fresh out of training school, Mrs Evans was tasked with looking after the families involved during the court proceedings.
"Being a local girl I knew Ronnie Harries personally and was also a school friend of his wife," she said.
"I was in court throughout the trial and witnessed him being found guilty of murder and the judge donning his black cap sentencing Harries to hang.
"Carmarthen town square was full of people throughout the trial, they gathered daily from 3:30am."
Mrs Evans is the widow of the late Supt Delme Evans.
Today, she is an active member of Dyfed-Powys Police National Association of Retired Police Officers and holds a number of charitable roles in the Carmarthen community.
She recently visited the police's headquarters where she presented an embroidered force crest to the Chief Constable Mark Collins.
It was originally presented to the late Ch Supt Donald Griffiths on his retirement and, after he died, it was held in the safekeeping of Mrs Evans.
She has also donated a number of items for the force museum. | A 41-year-old man has been remanded in custody charged with the murder of a 33-year-old childcare worker in Renfrewshire last week.

The contracts are part of £3bn already set aside to start work on the replacement of the UK's fleet of four Trident nuclear submarines by 2028.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said this was "an important step" towards renewing the UK's nuclear deterrent.
The Conservatives are pressing ahead despite objections from the Lib Dems.
The Tories' coalition colleagues have long argued for a cheaper alternative to replacing the Royal Navy's ageing submarines that carry Britain's nuclear deterrent and which are due to reach the end of their lives in the next decade.
As part of the coalition agreement, the Conservatives said they would look at alternatives and delayed a final decision on replacing Trident until 2016, after the next general election.
But in reality the MoD is already pressing ahead with work on the next generation of nuclear armed submarines, says BBC defence correspondent Jonathan Beale.
The Lib Dems are expected to publish a review looking at other options.
The first Successor submarine is due to be delivered in 2028, replacing the Vanguard Class submarines which currently carry Trident, the UK's nuclear deterrent.
The largest contract, worth £328m, has been awarded to BAE Systems Maritime - Submarines, which will work on the overall submarine design.
Babcock has been awarded £15m and will focus on designing parts of the in-service support.
More than £4m has been awarded to Rolls-Royce which will be responsible for the integration of the reactor design.
The MoD said that although a decision on the final design and build would not be made until 2016, detailed work had to take place now to ensure that the Successor submarines would be the most technologically advanced.
Mr Hammond told MPs the contracts announced were a step towards ensuring the UK had a nuclear deterrent "into the 2060s".
Eric Grove, director of the University of Salford's Centre for International Security and War studies said: "It's without commitment in theory but of course it is with commitment in practice. We wouldn't be spending this kind of money on design if it didn't look as if it was going to go forward."
He added: "We have a world-class submarine-building industry in this country and this programme will help to sustain or create more than 1,900 jobs across the UK.
"By making the core equipment programme fully funded and affordable, we are able to confirm additional equipment projects which help safeguard our national security."
He has also included the final cost of the replacement submarines - expected to be at least £20bn - in his latest budget plans.
The first of the four Trident submarines had been due to leave service in 2022 but the government extended the vessels' lives as part of the 2010 defence and security review.
BAE Systems managing director John Hudson said the new contract would "help sustain the jobs of over 1,000 skilled employees currently working on the programme [and] also provides the opportunity to grow our workforce by a further 280 in 2012".
These jobs are based at its site in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria.
First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope, said: "The Royal Navy has been operating continuous at sea deterrent patrols for more than 40 years and the Successor submarines will allow us to do so well into the future with cutting edge equipment."
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament described Britain's nuclear weapons as a "bottomless pit" for spending.
General secretary Kate Hudson said: "A majority of the public want to scrap Trident now. The last thing they want to do is replace it. And yet they are being forced to fund its replacement while they see local services cut.
"The sad truth is that, as shocking as today's announcement is, £350m is just a drop in the ocean compared with the total cost of replacing Trident, which will amount to well over £100bn over its lifecycle."
Police said the woman, believed to have been the sole resident, was found dead inside the property in Broyle Lane, Ringmer.
The cause of the fire is being treated as unexplained and investigations are under way by Sussex Police and East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.
Police said the woman's family have been told about her death and the coroner has also been informed.
The alarm was raised shortly before 05:00 GMT on Friday, police said.
Efforts by emergency teams were hampered by structural damage, which made it unsafe to enter the detached house until temporary repairs had been carried out.
Broyle Lane has been closed for most of the day and diversions are in place.
The fire service said six fire engines were sent to the blaze.
Claudio Sciarpelletti has been accused of helping Paolo Gabriele leak the confidential documents while working in the Vatican's Secretariat of State.
Mr Sciarpelletti's lawyer argued that his client has no case to answer and the trial should be dropped.
Gabriele was given an 18-month prison sentence by the same court last month.
He admitted passing documents to a journalist, but said he did it out of love for the church and the Pope.
The former butler is serving his sentence in a special detention room inside the Vatican's police station, amid talk that he may be pardoned by Pope Benedict XVI.
Mr Sciarpelletti, 48, handled secret communications in the Vatican's Secretariat of State, the nerve centre of the Roman Catholic church.
His lawyer said an anonymous tip-off led Vatican police to search Mr Sciarpelletti's desk last May - finding an envelope addressed to Gabriele containing copies of sensitive documentation that had been leaked to the Italian media.
During his brief arrest, he is said to have given confused and contradictory explanations to investigators.
Defence lawyer Gianluca Benedetti denied the claims that the former butler and Mr Sciarpelletti had been good friends, and said his client had been in an "emotional state" in his interviews with investigators.
The Vatican has since said he played a "marginal" role in the scandal.
Senior Vatican communications officer, Greg Burke, said that although Mr Sciarpelletti was being charged with aiding and abetting Gabriele, it was "more like an obstruction charge" relating to his contradictory testimony, the Associated Press reports.
However, the judge refused Mr Benedetti's request to drop the trial, and said the next hearing would be scheduled for Saturday. Analysts say his trial is likely to be shorter than Gabriele's which lasted for a week.
Interest in the case centres on who the witnesses called to give evidence may be, correspondents say. A senior cleric and two top Vatican security officials are expected to be called, as well as Gabriele himself.
It is thought the trial may shine a light on the extent to which other Vatican employees, including clerics, may have been involved.
Much of the stolen information ended up in a best-selling book by journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi about corruption, scandals and infighting at the Vatican.
Gabriele confessed to taking the papers, but said he believed the Pope was being manipulated, and that he hoped to reveal alleged corruption at the Vatican.
The Vatican authorities have limited press access to Mr Sciarpelletti's trial and no TV cameras were allowed in court.
Ledley fractured a leg against Stoke, but Wales assistant manager Osian Roberts has said he could be in their squad for France even if he is not fit.
"I think he's 50-50 [to make Euro 2016] - it's as tight as that," said Palace manager Alan Pardew.
"I'm sure Chris Coleman will be desperate to have him, so we're doing everything we can to help him."
Coleman names his 23-man squad for Euro 2016 on 31 May, and Wales play their first game on 11 June against Slovakia.
Ledley, 29, was named in Coleman's provisional squad for the tournament in France, before being ruled out of the FA Cup final.
Pardew described the loss of the midfielder for the match against Manchester United on 21 May as "desperate" news.
He said: "He was very disappointed when he heard the news but he's a strong character and now he's just determined to make the Euros, so he's got a good mindset again."
Pardew revealed the club will use an oxygen chamber to try to aid Ledley's recovery time.
Minor fractures can take up to six weeks to heal, though the recovery time for more severe fibula injuries can be about three months.
Roberts says Wales could take Ledley to Euro 2016 even if it means the former Cardiff player missing the early part of the competition.
"If he misses the opening game, but is available for the others, we'd want Joe to be part of things," said Roberts.
"If we need to give Joe a little bit of extra time, we'll do so. He deserves that.
"He's been a vital cog in the team for quite a few years and we hope he can recover in time.
"We'll have to wait and see how he reacts over the next couple of weeks. We're a stronger squad with Joe in it."
After facing Slovakia, Wales take on England in Lens on Thursday, 16 June before finishing the group stage against Russia on Monday, 20 June.
It would be a significant blow to Coleman if Ledley was missing from his Euro 2016 squad, as Wales prepare for their first major international football tournament since 1958.
He played an integral part in qualifying for France, featuring in seven of the 10 Group B games, and offers valuable experience to the Welsh midfield.
Wales will travel to Portugal for a pre-tournament training camp on 23 May.
After the final squad announcement, Wales play Sweden away on 5 June, their last friendly before Euro 2016.
The closure of the Nottinghamshire deep coal mine was announced in April 2014 after owners, UK Coal, fell into financial trouble.
The colliery's 600 workers have since been gradually laid off through compulsory or voluntary redundancy with the last 360 miners leaving on Friday.
It marks the end of the industry in the county and the closure leaves one deep coal mine in Kellingley, Yorkshire.
David Howells, one of the last miners to clock off, said: "It is a sad time for everybody in the mining industry and a sad time for the area.
"Morale has been very low among staff."
Alan Spencer, general secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers Nottinghamshire, said the mine's closure was a "deeply sad" time.
"Emotions will be high," he said.
"When it comes to that last shift, when you realise you won't be going underground anymore and you wont be with your comrades anymore, it will be emotional.
"There's no other jobs in the area now and at that age they are going to struggle to get a job anywhere else."
UK Coal said it was working to find alternative work or support for employees who are not retiring as they leave the mine.
"This is a very sad day and clearly marks the end of an era," the firm's board said in a statement.
It blamed its financial problems on falling coal prices and a fire that saw the closure of Daw Mill Colliery in Warwickshire.
Following the announcement, the government offered to loan the firm £10m to carry out the "managed closure" of its two remaining mines over the 18-month period.
Kellingley Colliery is set to close in December.

Work by 30 artists is being shown in six locations under the heading Harmonious Society as part of the city's third Asia Triennial.
Curator Jiang Jiehong, professor of Chinese art at Birmingham City University, explains how the country's new generation of artists are dealing with politics with a sense of humour.
Asia Triennial Manchester runs until 23 November.
The TV chef posed with a police poster at Norwich City Football Club, where she is a director.
As reported in the East Anglian Daily Times, she was approached by a fan who said Ms Smith promised to "keep Corrie in her prayers."
Mr Mckeague, 23, based at RAF Honington in Suffolk, disappeared after a night out in Bury St Edmunds on 23 September.
Norwich City fan Sarah Tali Blewden said: "My husband is in the army and I couldn't help feeling that it could have been him or one of his friends and I would want someone to help if we were in that situation.
"I handed-out posters and leaflets at the ground.
"At the end of the game I went up to the directors' box and asked Delia if she would mind having a picture with Corrie's poster.
"She hadn't heard he was missing and seemed genuinely shocked and concerned. She said she would keep him and his family in her prayers."
Mr Mckeague was last spotted on CCTV walking alone and eating fast food in Bury St Edmunds at 03:20 on 24 September.
It is thought 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.
His mother, Nicola Urquhart, said she still believes he is alive and made an appeal for information about his whereabouts.
Police said on Friday that a dismembered body found in a suitcase in a lay-by in Derbyshire last week was not that of Mr Mckeague.
The bird was first spotted on Sunday afternoon struggling to fly with a long chain hanging from the clamp on its legs, but it has not been seen since.
Wildlife rehabilitator Wendy Ebersole Looker said the raptor's snared limb could become infected.
Experts say the bird will probably die if it is not found quickly.
Ms Looker said the weight of the clamp will stop the bird from flying high enough to safety.
She also said the object will hamper the eagle from using its talons to hunt, eat and perch.
Susan Boardman, who first spotted the bird and reported it to state game officials, said that "without intervention, this eagle will probably die".
She said it struggled to fly away as she took its photo.
"It was heartbreaking to see him like this," she said.
According to the state Game Commission, leg-hold traps must not be set out in the open, where the bait can attract birds of prey.
The traps must also be staked down, and labelled with the trapper's name.
They are commonly used on small game such as foxes, raccoons and bobcats.
Setting traps illegally could result in criminal charges, said Travis Lau, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
Bald Eagles were placed on the endangered species list in 1978, but were removed once populations recovered, though it remains illegal to kill them.
On Tuesday a bald eagle in North Carolina was found shot in the head.
Hosting rights were awarded to the Manx International Football Alliance (MIFA) last year, but now the week-long tournament will be held in Hungary.
The inaugural tournament of the world cup for non-Fifa nations was held last year in Östersund, Sweden.
A ConIFA spokesman said the decision is down to "unforseen travelling issues".
He added: "The limited numbers of ferry tickets directly after the TT Races made it impossible to fit the needs of the teams and the large number of fans wanting to see the matches.
"In addition, financial backing of local companies, investors and government did not materialise as MIFA originally believed.
"These reasons combined made it difficult to organise and finance a tournament on the Isle of Man alone."
The tournament, which is expected to involve 12 teams from all around the world, will take place in Budapest between the 13 and 21 June.
Watkins, 36, of Pontypridd, admitted a series of "depraved" child sex offences including attempted rape of a baby.
He denied the charges but changed his plea at the 11th hour as his trial was due to begin at Cardiff Crown Court alongside two women.
The IPCC is investigating if South Wales Police acted quickly enough.
Earlier this year, former IPCC commissioner for Wales Tom Davies said they had received a referral from South Wales Police on 25 January 2013 relating to Watkins.
He confirmed an independent investigation was being carried out.
"Our investigation will determine whether or not South Wales Police failed to take appropriate and timely action in relation to information they were in receipt of in advance of Mr Watkins subsequent arrest," he said.
"We are aware of four forces having provided South Wales Police with information but, as criminal proceedings are active, it would be inappropriate to publish further information at this time."
Shortly after evidence of Watkins "depraved" behaviour was made public, rumours began circulate on social media websites about the extent of his abuse and possible other victims.
Detective Chief Inspector Peter Doyle described it as "the most shocking case I have ever seen".
Speaking on the steps of Cardiff Crown Court to pack of awaiting journalists, he vowed that the search for other victims would continue.
"The outcome does not mark the end of our investigations and we will work tirelessly to identify any other victims or witnesses and seek the justice they deserve," he said.
"Above all, this investigation has been focused on the protection of children and my thoughts are with those victims."
Watkins, who was called a "determined and committed paedophile" in court, admitted attempted rape and sexual assault of a child under 13 but not guilty to rape - a plea the prosecution accepted.
He also admitted three counts of sexual assault involving children and six involving taking, making or possessing indecent images of children and one of possessing an extreme pornographic image involving a sex act on an animal.
He will be sentenced on 18 December.
One of the two women charged alongside Watkins, Woman A, admitted the attempted rape of a baby after denying rape and two charges of sexual assault, as well as taking and distributing an indecent photograph of a child.
Woman B pleaded guilty to conspiring to rape a child, three sexual assault charges and four charges of taking, possessing or distributing indecent images.
The evidence against Watkins came from computers, laptops and mobile phones with some recovered from "cloud" storage.
The court heard that he had filmed and kept the episodes of abuse which took place in various hotels in London and south Wales.
Some of the evidence was too extreme and distressing to report.
The court was told the two women who stood alongside Watkins in the dock sexually abused their own children and made them available to Watkins for him to abuse.
The court was told how the abuse of the children by all parties was also evident in text messages.
Watkins sent a text to one of the women saying: "If you belong to me, so does your baby."
One of the women, in an exchange involving the other, sent Watkins a message along with an image of her child to the effect that her child needed to know she was not loved.
Watkins also planned to "teach" the babies how to take drugs, the hearing was told.
Mr Doyle said: "This investigation has uncovered the most shocking and harrowing child abuse evidence I have ever seen.
"The outcome ensures that the three people responsible have been brought to justice.
"The safeguarding of children has been the primary objective for the investigation team and the outcome of this investigation has been achieved through a multi-agency approach at an international level."
He added: "Two very young children have been removed from this abuse and given a future that would otherwise have been denied them."
He said the investigation had been "extremely complex and challenging" with key information and evidence being identified from witnesses worldwide.
South Wales Police worked with other forces, Interpol, National Crime Agency's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre command, local authorities in England and Wales, the Department of Homeland Security in the USA, and the NSPCC.
Des Mannion, NSPCC Wales national head of service, said: "The desire to sexually abuse small babies is something most of us find too horrific to comprehend.
"Ian Watkins clearly had a dangerous obsession with the most severe and extreme forms of child sex abuse.
"It's a huge relief in this instance that the children involved were able to be identified and finally made safe but tragically this isn't always the case.
"This is a global problem and in order to reach those who are still suffering, governments and law enforcement agencies need to work together to tackle this very complex issue."
In October, the other five members of Lostprophets issued a statement saying the band was splitting up after 15 years in the light of the case against Watkins.
Anyone who has been affected by this case or other cases of child abuse can contact South Wales Police on 029 20634184 or the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
According to Callisto creator Jessica Ladd, sexual assault is "practically a rite of passage" in US universities.
Its website has already been trialled for a few months at the University of San Francisco and Pomona College.
Other universities are now being invited to take part.
The US Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network said it could help victims.
As a survivor of college sexual assault herself, Ms Ladd said she wanted to use technology to empower victims and do more to keep campuses safe.
"I went through the reporting process and found it needlessly re-traumatising and intimidating and it felt like a missed opportunity for justice," she told the BBC at the Vancouver event.
"Reporting a sexual assault should be a way to reclaim control over your life. Instead for many survivors it feels like you are losing control all over again."
She said that one in five women and one in 13 men experience some form of sexual assault during their time at college.
The statistics are borne out by a 2015 study from the Association of American Universities, although it noted that there was "wide variation" in the rates reported at the 27 universities surveyed.
More than 150,000 students were questioned. 23% of the women said that they had experienced some form of unwanted sexual contact carried out by force or the threat of force, ranging from fondling to rape.
About 50% of the women who stated that they were victims of sexual assault, said they had not reported it at the time.
Only 10% of victims report a sexual assault and the better they know their assailant, the less likely they are to report them, said Ms Ladd.
"Our system is designed to break down the barriers to reporting," she added.
"We provide clear information about the process if you report your assault. We provide a way to create an online, time-stamped record of what happened to you."
The latter is important because, she says, victims on average wait 11 months before they report an incident.
It also allows victims to enter a matching system which only reports the crime if the same perpetrator has previously been reported - although at no point do the users see details of other victims.
Anonymous reporting is not allowed.
For a generation growing up used to finding out information via the web, it makes sense to create an online system, Ms Ladd told the BBC.
"Why not have first place for [reporting] sexual assault be the internet?" she asked.
"It is a huge step to talk to police or your school. People are worried they might not believe you and they are worried about what they will do with your information."
Scott Berkowitz, founder of the US Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, thinks it could be an important tool.
"My initial reaction is that I'm excited by the idea of it and can see how it can potentially change the way victims react to these crimes and encourage reporting of them," he told the BBC, although he added that it is still at a very early stage.
"Being able to see that your actions could help others and that you don't have to go it alone is important."
Callisto is not the only online service designed to help sexual assault victims.
Circle of Six allows users to choose six trusted friends who can be automatically alerted in the event of an emergency at the press of a button.
It won the White House's Apps Against Abuse challenge in 2011 and has since gained thousands of users around the world.
More recently, an app dubbed I've Been Violated has invited victims to record their stories.
They are encrypted and geo-stamped so they can act as "contemporaneous evidence" of the assaults. However, one critic has suggested that preventing victims from being able to alter their reports sends out the wrong message about how trustworthy they are.
Callisto relies on a website rather than working as a standalone program because its creators say some students expressed concern at the idea of others spotting they had a sexual assault app on their phone.
Other solutions include nail varnish that detects date-rape drugs in drinks and necklaces with built-in panic buttons.
Mr Berkowitz acknowledged, however, that "technology alone can't solve the problem".
"Universities have historically downplayed the problem, claiming it doesn't happen on their campuses but research tells us it is a problem on every campus," he said.
"Prevention education needs to be a part of normal college experience."
He added that, while the statistics were high for colleges, the problem was not confined to universities.
"It seems to have less to do with college and more to do with the age group. The risk for women aged 18-24 who are not in college is actually slightly higher."
Juhel Miah, 25, was with a Llangatwg Community School group when he was escorted off a connecting flight from Iceland to New York.
He told a Stand Up to Racism rally in Cardiff he was unfairly made to feel like a "threat".
Hundreds turned out for the event.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood and Labour MP Jo Stevens were among those who attended, alongside scores of supporters from several supporting organisations waving placards.
Mr Miah - whose full name is Mohammed Juhel Miah - had flown to Reykjavik with the Neath school group of 39 pupils and four teachers before boarding an onward flight to New York.
But before the plane took off on 16 February, he was removed.
He told the rally his problems began the moment he met an American official before boarding the flight.
"She read my first name was Mohammed and from that point onwards the problems started", he added.
The maths teacher said he was allowed onboard, but was then approached by another US official, who told him he had been denied access to America.
He said: "When I was going back to get my hand luggage, as you can imagine, everyone was staring at me and they were looking at me like I was threat - as if I'd done something wrong.
"I had all the same documents as all the other teachers and all the other pupils. The only difference between them and me was, possibly, the colour of my skin, I was a Muslim and my name was Mohammed Juhel Miah."
At the time entry to the US was subject to restrictions on people from, or who had travelled to, seven Muslim-majority countries included in an executive order signed by US President Donald Trump.
That order - issued in late January - sparked confusion and protests, before being blocked by a judge in Seattle.
A second, similar executive order issued by the president was blocked by federal judges on Thursday.
Mr Miah said he received a letter from the US Embassy since the unsuccessful journey.
It claimed he had never been refused entry to the US and was free to apply for a visa for future travel, but he said he had clearly been barred despite having a valid Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) visa at the time.
Mr Miah's case was raised in parliament by House of Commons leader David Lidington.
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood was among the hundreds who turned out for the march and rally, which started at Grange Gardens at 11:00 GMT on Saturday.
Labour's Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens, who also spoke at the rally, said recent political events had exposed an "underbelly of racism" across the UK.
The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist by Michael Rakowitz is one of two commissions announced for the central London square's Fourth Plinth.
The other artwork is THE END by Heather Phillipson, a sculpture portraying a whirl of cream topped with a cherry, parasites and a drone
The works will be unveiled in 2018 and 2020.
The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist is a project begun by Rakowitz in 2006 that attempts to recreate over 7,000 archaeological artefacts looted from the Iraq Museum during the war or destroyed in its aftermath.
For the Fourth Plinth the artist will recreate the Lamassu, a winged bull and protective god that stood at the entrance to Nergal Gate of Nineveh from 700BC.
In 2015 it was destroyed by so-called IS along with other artefacts in Mosul Museum.
It will be made of empty Iraqi date syrup cans, representative of a once-renowned industry decimated by the Iraq wars.
The Fourth Plinth Commission described THE END as exploring "the extremes of shared experience, from commemorations and celebrations to mass protests, all while being observed by a drone's camera".
Ekow Eshun, Chair of the Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group said: "I wish to congratulate Michael Rakowitz and Heather Phillipson on winning the commission.
"Their works are wondrous, striking and deeply engaging.
"The new commissions will proudly continue the legacy of the Fourth Plinth in putting world-class contemporary sculpture at the heart of London."
The current artwork, David Shrigley's Really Good, will be displayed on the plinth until March 2018 when it will be replaced by The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist.
THE END will be displayed in 2020.
PwC's annual survey shows that just 37% think the economy will improve in 2015, down from 44% last year.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Russia's bosses have gone from the most confident to the least, due to problems caused by sanctions and the falling oil price.
In the UK, concern had risen sharply about the availability of talent.
The number of chief executives concerned about the skills gap rose from 64% last year to 84% this year. That is considerably higher than in Germany, France or Spain.
This was partly put down to the high level of employment in the UK, which means that there is a smaller pool of workers to choose from, and partly due to concerns about the education system.
On a global level, the biggest worries that chief executives have are geo-political uncertainties, over-regulation and cyber security.
The report, which was launched at the World Economic Forum, in Davos, said that "concerns about cyber threats have shot up most compared to last year - and in light of the recent attacks on gaming and entertainment networks, the perceived risk will only increase".
Dennis Nally, chairman of PwC said: "CEO confidence is down notably in oil-producing nations around the world as a result of plummeting crude oil prices. Russia CEOs, for example, were the most confident in last year's survey, but are the least confident this year.
"Confidence has also slipped among CEOs in the Middle East, Venezuela, and Nigeria," he said.
He also pointed out that there appeared to a shift in confidence from emerging market to western markets.
Chief executives ranked the US as their most important market for growth over the next year, putting it ahead of China for the first time in the five years that the question has been asked.
PwC interviewed more than 1,300 chief executives in 77 countries for the survey. It was carried in the final three months of 2014.
Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall and Jeremy Corbyn faced each other at the debate in Stevenage.
Mr Burnham, Mrs Cooper and Ms Kendall were all greeted by calls of "shame" as they endorsed a like-for-like replacement of Trident.
The new leader will be announced at a special conference on 12 September.
The first in a series of debates was televised live on the BBC on Wednesday.
Harriet Harman is acting leader of the party until a replacement is confirmed, following the resignation of Ed Miliband in the wake of the general election defeat by the Conservatives.
Mr Corbyn, the left-wing backbench MP, received some of the warmest responses from the audience as he spelled out his "moral" opposition to renewing Trident and criticised Tory welfare reforms.
But Mr Burnham, Mrs Cooper and Ms Kendall, by contrast, were heckled on both topics.
Rejecting unilateral disarmament, shadow health secretary Mr Burnham said: "As prime minister of this country the safety of this country must come first."
Shadow home secretary Mrs Cooper said she would like to see a global reduction in weapons stocks, but "in the absence of that I would renew Trident".
Also backing Trident's replacement, shadow health minister Ms Kendall said: "Some of you won't like it, but I have got to tell you how it is."
The three frontbenchers also avoided condemning outright Conservative plans to reduce the benefit cap from £26,000 to £23,000, with Mr Burnham arguing the party could not appear "comfortable" about people receiving more than a normal salary.
Asked how they would handle Tory accusations that Labour's economic mismanagement left Britain vulnerable to the credit crunch, Mr Burnham, Mrs Cooper and Mr Corbyn all denied the previous government could be held responsible for the crash.
Ms Kendall argued the party needed to focus on how the economy should be handled in the future, rather than dwelling on the "mistakes of the past".
Contrasting herself with leadership rivals Mr Burnham and Mrs Cooper, who both served in the cabinet in the previous Labour government, Ms Kendall warned the party would lose if it chose a leader who was "comfortable and familiar".
Telling activists she represented a "fresh start", Ms Kendall added: "This is not the time for safety first or turning back to what is comfortable or familiar."
In response, Ms Cooper said that her experience meant she would be "comfortable" taking on the Conservatives from "day one".

Detectives say the attacks happened in holiday villas occupied by UK families in the Algarve.
The man, described as tanned with dark hair, is suspected of breaking in to 12 properties from 2004 to 2010.
Madeleine was three when she went missing from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Algarve, in May 2007.
The five girls - aged between seven and 10 - were sexually assaulted in their beds.
On one of these occasions, the man assaulted two girls in one villa.
Det Ch Insp Andy Redwood said the man had an "unhealthy interest in young white female children" - and tracing him was a priority.
"We need to establish the identity of this man," DCI Redwood said.
"These offences are very serious and no one has been charged in connection with them. We also need to eliminate this man from our enquiries and ascertain whether these offences are linked to Madeleine's disappearance."
Police said the man was bare-chested in some of the attacks, and some witnesses said he had a pot belly. Three victims said he had a "noticeable odour".
Two of the families said the intruder had worn a distinctive burgundy long-sleeved top, and one family said the top had a white circle on the back.
The man was said to have spoken English slowly, with a foreign accent.
While not identical, many aspects of the sexual assaults were similar, police said.
In most of the cases, the intruder appeared in the early hours of the morning and there were no signs of forced entry to the properties.
The suspect may have been in the villa or looking around for some time before committing the offences or being disturbed, either by a parent coming in or the child waking up, officers said.
He remained calm even when disturbed, they added.
The incidents had previously been discounted by Portuguese investigators because they were spread over a wide geographical area and there had been no apparent attempts at abduction.
Four of the 12 break-ins took place in Carvoeiro, two in Praia da Luz - where the McCanns had been staying - and six in Vale da Parra and Praia da Gale.
There are currently 38 people classed as "persons of interest" linked with the inquiry into Madeleine's disappearance.
Detectives are also sifting through details of 530 sex offenders whose whereabouts are unknown.
Of those, 59 are classed as a high priority, and some of those are British.
Scotland Yard launched a new investigation - codenamed Operation Grange - into Madeleine's disappearance last July, two years into a review of the case, and made renewed appeals for information.
A high-profile campaign run by Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry McCann, from Rothley, Leicestershire, and a Portuguese police investigation had so far failed to locate the missing child.
The search for Madeleine was given fresh impetus in October when a BBC Crimewatch appeal that aired in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands prompted 5,000 calls.
In January, British detectives flew to Portugal and spoke to local police officers there.
DCI Redwood said: "This is an offender who has got a very, very unhealthy interest in young, white, female children who he is attacking whilst they are on holiday in their beds.
"It is really critical for us to identify this offender and prove or disprove whether he was involved in Madeleine's disappearance."
Investigators in the UK have so far sent three international letters of request to Portuguese authorities over the inquiry in to Madeleine's disappearance.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Martin Hewitt said the slow legal process had caused "frustration".
"We know what we want to do and we are ready to go with that. But the process is the process," he said.
Clarence Mitchell, spokesman for the McCann family, said: "Kate and Gerry still believe that Madeleine is alive and out there to be found, and that is why they are so pleased that the British police are doing such a good job on this."
MPs are set to vote on the Article 50 bill that will pave the way for leaving the EU.
Shadow Welsh secretary Jo Stevens has quit the front benches and intends to defy party leader Jeremy Corbyn's instruction and vote against it.
But Aberavon MP Stephen Kinnock said party members should "suspend our disbelief" and support the bill.
"I campaigned passionately for Remain and am a committed pro-European," he told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme.
"I feel the UK's interests are best served being as close as possible to our European partners."
The area he represents - as part of Neath Port Talbot - voted by 56.8% to 43.2% to leave in last June's referendum.
However, Mr Kinnock said his decision is not based solely on that result, but because the UK as a whole voted to leave.
Jo Stevens' constituents in the city of Cardiff voted by 60% to 40% to remain and when she quit the front benches, she said a great number had told her to oppose the move.
While Mr Kinnock said he "absolutely respects" her position, he added: "We must suspend our disbelief and trigger Article 50.
"We have taken a massive risk with the future of our country by voting to leave.
"But we can't go back over that ground and have to move forward."
He said politicians are simply second guessing each other and positions will only really become clear when negotiations start with the other EU states.
If these go well, and access to the single market is achieved, MPs can potentially accept the deal when they vote on the final terms in 2019, he said.
But Mr Kinnock warned that negotiations would be "incredibly difficult".
"I hope Theresa May is ready for a bumpy ride, as that is what she will get," he added.
Thegov.ukproject, which is expected to launch in full later this year, has a budget of £1.7m.
Currently, online government services are spread across multiple domains and managed by different teams.
The government claimed that bringing services together in this way could save up to £50m per year.
This saving is said to come from making operational savings by "removing the costs associated with software licences and infrastructure investment".
However, when contacted by the BBC, the Cabinet Office could not give specific details over where those savings would be made.
The site uses a simple search engine-like interface to tie the government's vast portfolio of websites together.
Users have beeninvited to test the new website and report any bugs or usability issues.
The website advises that while gov.uk is fully-functional, some aspects may be "inaccurate or misleading" while still in the beta stage.
The Cabinet Office told the BBC that the full public release of gov.uk was planned for some time later this year once extensive user testing and feedback had been gathered.
A decision over what will happen to the government's existing portal -directgov- has not yet been made.
"Digital public services should be easy to find and simple to use," said Francis Maude, Minister for the Cabinet Office, in a press release.
"The beta release of a single domain takes us one step closer to this goal.
"Our approach is changing. IT needs to be commissioned or rented, rather than procured in huge, expensive contracts of long duration.
"We are embracing new, cloud-based start-ups and enterprise companies - this will bring benefits for small- and medium-sized enterprises here in the UK and so contribute to growth."
The UK's "digital champion", Martha Lane Fox - who has been asked to find ways to get more people online - welcomed the revamp.
"The beta release of gov.uk is a fantastic milestone in this government's ambition to become a digital world leader and dramatically change the focus of public service delivery onto the end user," she said.
However, Geoff McCormick, director of the UK-based design company TheAlloy, said the revamp did little to solve existing problems.
"The new gov.uk site is an improvement on the direct.gov site, but the bar wasn't set too high in the first place," he told the BBC.
"Once you have navigated away from the front page, it is back to business as usual - the same information architecture, but with a 'pretty looking icon' next to it.
"They do not make it easier to navigate in any way."
Paul Massey, 55, a security boss and businessman, was found dead with gunshot wounds outside his Salford home on Sunday evening.
The father-of-five had managed to call emergency services from his driveway to say he had been shot and needed help.
Massey, jailed in 1999 for 14 years over a stabbing, unsuccessfully stood to be Salford mayor in 2012.
Several eyewitnesses saw the gunman approach him at about 19:30 BST as he got out of his silver BMW at his home in Manchester Road, Clifton.
After opening fire, the assailant left on foot down the side of nearby St Anne's Church, police said.
A white male, he wore a green or khaki military-style top and trousers and the lower part of his face was concealed, officers added.
Several gun casings were found at the scene, which remains cordoned off, while police will also trawl through CCTV footage in the area.
A post-mortem examination due to take place later.
Massey, who was barely 5ft (1.52m) tall, was dubbed Mr Big by the late Salford councillor Joe Burrows at a town hall meeting to discuss civil disturbances in 1992.
He denied having anything to do with the unrest.
But he was jailed in 1999 after he stabbed a man in the groin outside a club in Manchester, severing an artery.
Following the crime, he fled to Amsterdam but was caught and extradited.
Since his release from Frankland Prison in County Durham, he was involved in the security business and is believed to have invested in property.
He reportedly acted as a mediator between warring gang factions.
Massey declared he wanted to keep heroin off the streets of Salford and stickers appeared on lampposts warning dealers they risked getting "smacked" if they brought the drug into the city.
But he was arrested with five others in December 2011 as part of a police inquiry into a Salford-based security company.
Massey claimed officers were conducting a "witch-hunt" against him and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
During his 2012 mayoral campaign, he said he would rid the streets of drugs.
Massey said in a BBC Radio Manchester debate he would do the job of mayor without being paid, claiming: "I will do it for free; I will do it for the voice of the people."
He called on voters to forget his reputation, claiming that it was in the past and people had misjudged him. He received 1,995 votes - 4.45% of the poll - and came seventh out of 10 candidates.
However, Massey was still under investigation earlier this year by police from the regional organised crime squad investigating allegations of money laundering.
Salford mayor Ian Stewart, who defeated Massey in the election, said the murder was "shocking".
"I have to say that the council and the police want to see guns and gun crime removed from the city of Salford.
"Someone must know who is involved in carrying out this horrendous crime."
Mr Stewart said he refused to share a platform with Massey during the campaign.
"He had shown tendencies that I personally did not want to give any oxygen to - criminality."

There is a huge police presence here today - about seven police cars and a mobile police station.
Forensics teams have been here through the night, working by torchlight in the early hours.
Paul Massey was shot in a "targeted attack"- killed because of who he was.
Neighbours and locals are concerned about possible reprisals and worried about getting caught in the crossfire.
There are fears the shooting could be a trigger for more violence in this part of Salford.
Security has been stepped up in the area of the shooting in Manchester Road, and the road is still closed.
Ch Supt Mary Doyle said: "Our thoughts are with the family of Paul at this distressing time and we have specially-trained officers supporting them.
"We know that shots were fired at Paul and do not believe this was a random attack. We are still working to establish a motive, which is not yet known."
Ch Supt Doyle, who said extra officers were in the area to "offer reassurance to the community", appealed for more information as police currently had "no intelligence" on the motive for the murder, despite his prominence in the community.
"There is nothing in what we know about him which would give an overt motive to this," she added.
"I want to reiterate that any information received will be treated in the strictest confidence."
In an unfinished and unbroadcast documentary about Massey, commissioned by the BBC in 1998, he said he "could be shot dead any time".
"I've realised that for years. If it's meant to happen, it's meant to happen and that's the end of it," he said.
Rebecca Long Bailey, the Labour MP for Salford and Eccles, said she was "shocked" at the news of Mr Massey's death, adding her "thoughts are with his family and the residents of Clifton".
Ministers want a new management body to oversee all of Scotland's enterprise and skills agencies, but opposition members want individual boards to stay.
Holyrood previously voted to "reverse" the plans as they relate to Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
The government has pledged to set out its intentions in the coming weeks.
The ongoing enterprise and skills review would see a new Scotland-wide statutory board to co-ordinate the activities of Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), Skills Development Scotland and the Scottish Funding Council (SFC).
A governance report by HIE chairman Lorne Crerar has suggested the individual groups could retain "delivery boards" within the new structure. However, opposition groups argue even this would be unacceptable centralisation, with claims it could be the "death knell" for the individual boards.
Economy Secretary Keith Brown has pledged to return to the chamber with a ministerial statement in the coming weeks.
Conservative MSP Liz Smith put forward a motion backing the "key role and legal status of the current Scottish Funding Council board", which helps allocate funding to Scottish colleges and universities.
The motion says the board should "retain its important functions", noting that it "must not just be a 'delivery board' but also have the powers to act on its own initiative and to challenge government".
Ms Smith said ministers have been "completely carried away with theory" without thinking about the practical implications of their proposals.
She added: "It is not at all clear why in order to have better strategic alignment you need to unpick the governance structures of all four agencies.
"There was a complete absence of evidence from phase one which supports the Scottish government's intention and now there is real concern about where on earth the Scottish government is going."
Further Education Minister Shirley-Anne Somerville put forward an amendment to replace the entire motion, defending the government's plans.
However, she said the government would be "going forward in listening mode" until Mr Brown's statement.
She said: "We will maintain a national strategic body which allocates funding independently of ministers to our colleges and universities and for research.
"This reform can help put Scotland among the top-performing OECD nations and I will work with MSPs from across the chamber and stakeholders beyond to achieve that goal."
Other opposition parties were critical of the plans, which several referred to as the creation of a "super board", and backed the Conservative motion.
Labour's Iain Gray said: "This is a fundamentally flawed proposal, and the government should think again."
Ross Greer said the Scottish Greens were "not prepared at this point to support" an enterprise "super board", while Lib Dem Tavish Scott said the SNP was "hell-bent on concentrating powers into their own hands".
Following the debate, Ms Somerville's amendment was defeated by 63 votes to 62, before Ms Smith's motion was passed by the same margin.
But the Scottish Social Attitudes survey also suggested the popularity of the European Union had fallen.
The researchers said this suggested focusing on EU membership may not be the best way to swing more voters towards independence.
The survey has asked the same question about how Scotland should be governed every year since 1999.
It was carried out by ScotCen Social Research and has been published two days after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon confirmed she wants to ask the UK government for permission to hold a second referendum on Scottish independence.
Ms Sturgeon says the Brexit vote has left Scotland at a crossroads, with an independence referendum needed to allow the country to choose which path to take.
But pro-UK opposition parties argue that another referendum will cause further division and uncertainty, and is not wanted by the majority of people.
The survey comes as two polls look at the Scottish independence question.
ScotCen Social Research author Prof John Curtice said you should not look at his survey and the latest polling commissioned by newspapers.
He explained: "The Scottish Social Attitudes Survey is not a short term opinion poll. This was a survey that was done for the whole of the last six months of last year and it is not about trying to measure the short term variation in the weather, which the two polls out this morning try to do, but rather to look at the long term change in the climate."
A key suggestion in the ScotCen survey was that the September 2014 referendum had left a "legacy of dramatically increased support" for independence.
And it said the pro-independence movement looked certain to enter a second referendum campaign in a much stronger position than it had enjoyed ahead of the first referendum.
Asked to choose between independence, devolution and not having any kind of Scottish Parliament at all, 46% of the 1,237 people surveyed between July and December of last year now backed independence.
This is a higher level of support for independence than at any time since 1999 and double the level registered by ScotCen in 2012, when the last independence referendum campaign initially got under way.
The Social Attitudes Survey suggested the increase in support for independence in recent years has been most marked among younger people.
As a result, there is now a very large age gap in support for independence, with 72% of 16-24 year olds wanting to leave the UK compared with just 26% of people aged 65 and over.
Independence is now the single most popular constitutional option, with 42% supporting devolution, while only 8% of those surveyed do not want any kind of Scottish Parliament at all.
However, even although Scotland voted to remain in the EU by 62% to 38% in last year's referendum, the survey suggested scepticism about the institution is now at the highest level ever recorded by ScotCen.
This scepticism is even common among those who voted last year to remain in the EU, the report concluded, with a majority (56%) of all Remain voters believing the EU should have fewer powers.
Those who currently back independence are also divided in their views about Brexit, with a third voting to leave the EU in last year's referendum.
Their support could be at risk if independence is linked firmly to EU membership, the report's author Prof John Curtice said.
Prof Curtice said the pro-independence campaign had never been stronger electorally in Scotland.
He added: "From its perspective, the outcome of the EU referendum appeared to be a perfect illustration of their argument that for so long as it stays in the UK, Scotland is always at risk of having its 'democratic will' overturned by England.
"However, the commitment to the EU of many of those who voted to Remain does not appear to be strong enough that they are likely to be persuaded by the outcome of the EU referendum to change their preference for staying in the UK.
"Meanwhile, there is a risk that linking independence closely to the idea of staying in the EU could alienate some of those who currently back leaving the UK.
"Nicola Sturgeon might have been wiser to have stayed her hand, for on current trends there is a real possibility that demographic change will help produce a majority for independence in the not too distant future anyway."
The pro-independence SNP and Scottish Greens welcomed the survey's findings, with SNP MSP Bruce Crawford arguing it was "no surprise" that more people now apparently backed independence given the "systematic unpicking" of promises made after the 2014 referendum by the UK government.
Scottish Greens MSP Ross Greer said voters in Scotland deserves a choice between being "trapped in the angry, isolated Britain planned by the Tories" and "putting our future in our own hands".
But Adam Tomkins of the Scottish Conservatives said the report showed there was already "significant division" in Scotland over the constitutional question, and that another referendum would only make that worse.
And Scottish Labour MP Ian Murray said Scotland "must not be divided again by the SNP's obsession for a second independence referendum".
Bethany was eight when her mother was sent to prison. Her family did not know how to tell her what was happening - so for six months they simply didn't. She wondered why she had moved to a relative's house and why she only spoke to her mother on the phone. Then her family sat her down and explained what had happened.
"I've got no-one, no mum, my life fell apart," she says. "I got bullied, they'd say stuff like, 'You haven't got a mum and you're going to end up like her.' I'd cry myself to sleep."
Hers is one of the families being assisted by the Person Shaped Support (PSS) charity in Liverpool, which provides advice for parents on how to talk about imprisonment, and provides children with one-on-one and peer group support.
"They take us for days out," says Bethany. "Sometimes we talk about what's happened to our families but a lot of the time they don't.
"We talk about how it's OK to feel angry about what's happened and what to do if we feel guilty. We have a lot of one-to-one sessions but we also go out in a group - and we learn from each other. I've learnt that you never give up on the people you love."
Bethany's mother has now been released and they are rebuilding a relationship, but it is difficult - Bethany has been on her own for a large part of her childhood.
"My mum's been out for a while now and it's hard to speak to her because I don't want to upset her. She's getting back to where she wants to be. Sometimes I think I can handle it but I can't, I need people to talk to.
"I've learnt to take care of myself, be responsible, be mature but I still need people to talk to. It's not that I'm scared, but I'm still only 13."
Barnado's estimates that there are 200,000 children in England and Wales affected in this way, 30,000 in Scotland and 1,500 in Northern Ireland - though no official figures are recorded.
Arrest and imprisonment can have dramatic consequences for families. Grandparents can find themselves suddenly having not only to remember how to parent, but deal with a whole set of issues they never knew about beforehand.
When Doreen's son Craig was sent to prison - we were not told what for - she was asked to look after his three sons because his wife was also in jail.
"It was a shock," she said. "The first thing that happened was the children were brought to me. Then you get social services on your doorstep." The memory brings tears to her eyes - the bitterness at being "checked up on" barely hidden.
"They dig into your background - I just didn't expect to be treated the way I was."
Craig is now out on parole, but the children still live with their grandmother, and their visits with Craig are supervised.
Jack, 15, explained how he reacted when his dad was sent to prison.
"I sat around for about a week and then thought, 'I've got to get my head down and work. I've got to think about myself.'"
He says he did not see his father for up to four months because he was only allowed closed visits, in which the prisoner and the visitor are divided by a screen.
"It's not nice to see anyone behind glass but he's my dad, he's always been my dad," he says, looking up at his father. "It's still hard, my mum's still in prison, but at least I've got my dad out and he can help me, and I speak to her as often as I can."
All the young people at the charity seemed mature beyond their years - Jack was able to talk eloquently about how speaking to his dad on the phone while he was in prison helped his father more than himself.
But Craig struggles to put his feelings into words, perhaps because it is so hard confronting how he feels.
"They've all grown up a lot quicker than I expected because they've had to deal with all sorts of things themselves. I feel a lot of guilt. All I want to do is get the family back together, pick up the pieces and rebuild the jigsaw," he said.
This is not an area that attracts money easily, and there is no central support for PSS's work. In the past, Barnardo's has appealed for the government to assign a minister to cover prisoners' children.
But PSS says its work can dramatically change the children's futures.
"With support, the children can break every stereotype in the book, they just need some help to get through it all," says Lorna Brookes, who works for PSS with offenders' families.
The risks they face involve an increased likelihood of mental health problems, living in poverty and poor housing. Some studies suggest that separation by imprisonment can lead to criminality "running in the family".
The charity tackles these risks by involving the whole family, in order to help children come to terms with the separation and to talk about their fears. It has also produced a booklet written by children to help others who have parents sent to prison.
As Bethany says: "I still remember what it felt like when she went away. But you do have a mum and dad - it's just that they're not in that particular place with you.
"I do have a mum. She's done a mistake and she can be someone different. You do not give up. The people in prison - you do the journey with them, you help them. I see happiness in my future, I see family. I can't wait to have the journey towards that."
The names of the children and adults helped by PSS have been changed.

Nor is it likely to be limited to foreign companies.
Why? A new urgency to clamp down by the new Chinese president is beginning to bear fruit.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has made clamping down on corruption one of his main aims in his first year in office.
The reason is straightforward: There are tens of thousands of protests across China every year, and many of the complaints are over corruption. With growth slowing, such tensions lying just beneath the surface are more likely to flare up.
As a non-democratic country that doesn't have the usual safety valves - like the ability to throw the corrupt ones out of office - the tension that can build up may threaten social stability - the very thing that the Chinese government dreads. The word "luan", which means chaos, is one of those the Chinese are keen to avoid.
And, as I mentioned, it isn't likely to be limited to foreign companies like GSK.
Local government officials are very much in the spotlight.
There have been photos posted on China's social media website, Weibo, that show President Xi with local officials who aren't wearing watches but have tan lines where their wristwatch would ordinarily be.
As luxury watches are viewed as a conduit for political corruption, the clampdown has been apparent.
To give a sense of the scale, global luxury watch sales have seen double digit falls in demand from China and Hong Kong, two of the top markets, since Xi took office.
As for foreign companies, one of the toughest parts of navigating China is the line between money spent on corruption versus developing relationships.
When I worked as a corporate lawyer, it was one of the hardest areas to advise on.
Guanxi - or inter-personal relationships or social networks are an important part of how business is done.
Relational contracting means that people prefer to deal with people that they know and trust. It is in part because of the under-developed legal system in China. There is an understandable reluctance to go to court when the judiciary isn't independent.
But, that's not the only reason. As seen in the Chinese diaspora, doing business with those with good relations is a common trait.
This is even the case in countries where there is a well-established legal system like the US. It is, of course, cheaper once the high costs of litigation are considered.
But, it also reflects a cultural difference in that Chinese and many others value getting to know their business partners. In fact, corporate networking is rather important in a lot of places, including developed countries.
In China, building that relationship often involves not just time, but also gifts and banqueting. That's where it gets rather tricky.
For foreign firms, that's also when it's a good idea to bring in the lawyers. What's worrying is that corruption isn't always easy to detect.
World Bank economist Colin Xu and his colleagues suggest looking at the ETC, or entertainment and travel costs, section of a firm's balance sheet.
They find that ETC in Chinese firms reflect so-called "grease money" to obtain better governmental services as well as what they term as "normal business expenditure" to build relationships with suppliers and distributors.
In other words, there is a line, perhaps a fine one, between corruption and money spent on developing guanxi.
In any case, I expect many foreign companies are now scrutinising their books to ensure that they are on the right side of that line.
Finally, there will be those who question whether the Chinese government is serious about its anti-corruption drive.
President Xi has mandated that official banquets can no longer have 10 dishes, just three dishes and a soup. For those familiar with Chinese banqueting culture, this seems rather serious.
Of course, the Chinese president may be serious himself about his anti-corruption drive. But, as with a lot of policies in China, it will be the implementation beyond Beijing that will decide the issue.
The markings were painted on Lower Henley Road in Caversham by Reading Council last year in a bid to make the town more bike friendly.
But cyclists and the Reading Cycle Campaign said locating the narrow lane near parked cars was dangerous.
The council has admitted the lane has proved unpopular and will remove the markings at a point when other work is scheduled nearby.
Councillor Tony Page, deputy leader, said the scheme received no objections during a consultation.
But he conceded: "It was clear after [they] were installed that they were not popular, and a decision was made... to drop the schemes.
"The cost of removing the cycle lane markings will be significantly reduced by combining the task with any other scheduled works nearby.
"We will be holding off introducing any other schemes pending a review of this aspect of the cycling strategy."
Reading Cycle Campaign chairman Adrian Lawson has welcomed the move to scrap the markings.
He described the lane as "an accident waiting to happen" last year, saying: "A cyclist is going to get knocked off by a door opening. It's making it more dangerous."
The council said it was doing its best with the town's limited road structure and it was committed to providing safe routes for cyclists.
Thomas Mair, 53, from Birstall, remained silent when asked to plead at the Old Bailey on four charges relating to Mrs Cox's death.
Mrs Cox, 41, who was a married mother-of-two, was shot and stabbed in Birstall, West Yorkshire, in June.
In the light of Mr Mair's silence, the judge ordered that not guilty pleas should be entered on his behalf.
The defendant is accused of murder, grievous bodily harm, possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of an offensive weapon - a dagger.

He appeared via video-link from Belmarsh prison and spoke only to confirm his name.
Members of Mrs Cox's family were in court to witness proceedings.
The judge, Mr Justice Wilkie, adjourned the case for a further hearing on 28 October and a provisional date for a four-week trial has been fixed for 14 November.
Mrs Cox, who was elected MP for Batley and Spen at the 2015 General Election, was about to attend a constituency surgery when she was killed on June 16.
Her death prompted what her family described as an "outpouring of genuine grief and sympathy".
The then Prime Minister David Cameron said Mrs Cox was a "bright star" and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn described her as "a much loved colleague".
She had grown up in the area, attending Heckmondwike Grammar School, before attending Cambridge University.
Prior to entering Parliament Mrs Cox had worked for a number of charities including Oxfam, Save the Children and the NSPCC. | The Ministry of Defence has awarded £350m contracts for the next generation of nuclear-armed submarines to BAE Systems, Babcock and Rolls-Royce.

The owner of the Daily Mirror has now earmarked £60m in total to cover costs related to the phone-hacking scandal.
Trinity Mirror also said like-for-like group revenues were set to fall 9% in the 26 weeks to 2 July.
Falls in circulation and advertising have forced it to cut costs.
Revenues from print advertising fell by 21% over the period, while circulation revenues dropped 6%.
Chief executive Simon Fox said: "The trading environment for print in the first half remained volatile but we remain on course to meet our expectations for the year.
"I anticipate that the second half will show improving revenue momentum as we benefit from initiatives implemented during the first half of the year."
Trinity said it had settled over 80% of the phone-hacking claims made against it, but more funds were needed because of "the lengthy process of settling claims and the structure and quantum of legal fees for the claimants".
The group also revealed it had signed a five-year print and distribution deal for the Guardian and Observer newspapers from early 2018.

Spall plays the former DUP leader in The Journey, a drama about how Dr Paisley and Martin McGuinness forged a political deal and personal friendship.
The Irish actor Colm Meaney stars opposite him as Mr McGuinness.
Speaking to the BBC, Spall revealed that he met with Baroness Paisley and Ian Paisley Jnr in Belfast on Thursday.
"I was lucky enough to meet Baroness Paisley today, actually, and Ian Jnr, which was lovely," he said.
"It was always important that I was doing it but I didn't want in any way to do anything that would offend them.
"It appears that I didn't, so I was absolutely delighted to have met them."
He also said that had prepared for the role by listening to many of Dr Paisley's sermons.
"I'm of an age where I grew up when it was all going on, so I was very familiar with him," he said.
"But I also needed to find a lot of footage of him when he was not in his barnstorming style, which was so impressive.
"And then I found a lot of footage of him when he was quiet and older and more conciliatory."
The film is a fictional portrayal of how the two political foes became friends.
They are forced to share a car while trying to catch a flight back to Northern Ireland from Scotland during political negotiations there in 2006.
Meaney supported Mr McGuinness in his bid to become president of Ireland in 2011, and spoke at a rally in Dublin's Mansion House alongside the late Sinn Féin MLA.
He said that while the film is fiction it shows how much the two men are missed in reality.
"The assembly elections were very interesting," he said.
"But the fact that neither McGuinness nor Paisley is there to move things forward, it seems that the energy has gone out of it.
"The desire to reach a compromise, to get things done, isn't there with the same intensity as it was when these two guys were running things.
"Films don't change the world, but you hope that the film in some small way might be a nudge to the current leadership of both sides to go the extra mile to get agreement."
The Journey was written by County Down-based screenwriter Colin Bateman, who also said it was relevant to the current political stalemate at Stormont.
"It's so contemporary and the message of it is so important," he said.
"It shows what two people can achieve and that's a lesson for the politicians of today."
While the film will have heightened interest for a Northern Ireland audience, the director Nick Hamm said it also had a message for viewers elsewhere.
"We might know what this friendship is about and what the resolution of that friendship was, but other people around the world don't know that," he said.
"That's a secret that's slightly buried.
"Part of the movie's job is to say that if these two guys can do this anyone can do this.
"This is absolutely a message of hope and reconciliation."
The film received its world premiere in Venice in September 2016.
After its first Northern Ireland showing in Belfast, the film goes on general release from 5 May.
The BBC's John Sweeney, who led the search for five-year-old Azam, tweeted the news.
Azam had travelled ahead of his parents with an uncle and was seriously injured during the journey.
His story sparked the social media campaign #FindAzam.
Azam was not the only member of the family to be injured while making the journey from Syria to Europe.
His reunion with his parents on Thursday took place in a German hospital, where his father is being treated for a broken leg that he sustained during the journey through Greece.
John Sweeney met Azam in Serbia in September while making a documentary about the refugee trail for the BBC's current affairs programme Panorama.
The boy was crying in pain because a car had run him over while he was asleep, breaking his jaw.
But before completing his treatment in Belgrade, Azam vanished with his uncle.
For the BBC Newsnight programme, Sweeney retraced the steps of the refugee trail that Azam and his uncle took, travelling from Serbia to Hamburg where the child was eventually found by a BBC team after a long search involving the crucial use of social media.
The uncle told the BBC that a splinter had entered Azam's eye during shelling in Damascus and he was asked by the child's parents to take him as speedily as possible to Germany for it to be treated.
He said that he was forced to take the child out of hospital in Serbia because the priority was to get him to Germany as quickly as possible.
Councillor Eryl Jones-Williams said it was "practically impossible for wheelchair-users to use a new gate" at Dyffryn Ardudwy station.
He said it was "heavy, did not open fully and, when traffic was crossing the railway, the open gate was totally blocking the entrance".
Network Rail said it was "a mistake".
Councillor Trevor Roberts, for Barmouth, who sits on several railway committees, said: "The new set up at the crossing seems to be a total farce.
"It could even concern all pedestrians as when the vehicle access gates are open, the gate for pedestrians wishing to gain access to and from the platform will find it impossible to do so."
A Network Rail spokesman said: "This package of work included additional safety measures on the platform, following concerns raised by the local level crossing keeper over passengers crossing in front of trains departing from the station.
"Although we delivered this work to make the railway safer, we were already aware that the new access gate may have made it more difficult for wheelchair users to access the platform and we are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused passengers.
"We are currently exploring options to permanently solve this issue and improve access for all station users."
The works delivery team have now been asked to remove the access gate and associated fencepost to make access easier.
Merioneth Access Group chairman Councillor Delwyn Evans said members of the group would help them draw up plans.
It's the world's biggest experiment and scientists hope will lead to a deeper understanding of how the universe works.
For the last two years, physicists have been working on an upgrade to the giant machine.
The LHC is a 16-mile-long tunnel, which sits 100m below ground on the border between France and Switzerland.
It works by smashing tiny particles together at close to the speed of light.
Actual collisions will not begin for at least another month, but they will take place with nearly double the energy the LHC reached during its first run.
"It's fantastic to see it going so well after two years and such a major overhaul of the LHC," said Rolf Heuer, director general of Cern - the European Organisation for Nuclear Research which runs the LHC.
"I am delighted and so is everyone in the Cern control centre," he added.
In 2012, the LHC produced a major breakthrough - by finding the probable explanation for why things physically exist - something scientists have been struggling with for decades.
The group suggests women start yearly breast scans at age 45 instead of 40 and for healthy women to have scans every other year at ages 55-74.
Historically there has been much disagreement over the right time and frequency for mammograms.
New suggestions are more aligned with those of a US government panel.
Announced on Tuesday, the advice is aimed toward women at "average" risk for breast cancer, and doctors suggest more screening for women at higher risk.
Higher risk factors include certain genetic mutations and family history of cancer.
"The most important message of all is that a mammogram is the most effective thing that a woman can do to reduce her chance of dying from breast cancer," said Dr Richard Wender of the American Cancer Society.
Breast cancer is uncommon for women under 40 and starting mammograms too early may result in "false alarms", he said.
The group also advises doctors to stop doing routine physical breast exams, due to a lack of evidence of them being effective at saving lives.
The Susan G Komen foundation, a major US breast cancer research and advocacy organisation, disagrees with the guidelines and has said in a statement that women and their doctors should decide on the right time for screening based on individual risk.
"Ultimately, women must have better and more accurate information about their individual risk for breast cancer so that they and their providers can make informed decisions about the screening schedule that is right for them. Knowledge is power," said Dr Judy Salerno, president of the organisation.
About 40,000 women in the US die from breast cancer each year, with 200,000 being diagnosed per year.
The guidelines were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Details of what organisations are planning to commemorate the Easter Rising and the Battle of the Somme were revealed at an event in the Ulster Museum in Belfast.
2016 is arguably the biggest year in the 'decade of centenaries 1912-1922' in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
As well as the Rising and the Somme, the centenary of the most significant naval battle of World War One, the Battle of Jutland, falls on 31 May 2016.
HMS Caroline, the Belfast-based last surviving naval ship from the battle, will be formally reopened on that date.
A major commemoration of the role of the Irish sailor in the great war will also be held in the city.
Thursday's event was organised by the Nerve Centre's 'Creative Centenaries' project, which is planning a major exhibition in Belfast and Derry and a series of outreach events during 2016.
Exhibitions will also be held by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI) and Belfast City Council, among others.
Other commemorations include:
While nationalists and republicans have begun to commemorate World War One, Jason Burke, from the 'East Belfast and the Great War Research Project' said that he hoped unionists could become interested in the Rising.
"It can be applicable to the unionist community, as I think there are many different interpretations of what the Easter Rising was about," he said.
"We may well have a shared history, but we have a different memory of that history."
"I think unionism can, if not embrace it, engage with it in a critical manner."
Politicians, including the Sinn Fein junior minister Jennifer McCann and the Republic of Ireland's Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan TD, were also at Thursday's event.
It is thought unlikely that any members of the royal family will be at Rising centenary events in the Republic, and Mr Flanagan would not be drawn on whether Northern Ireland's first minister Peter Robinson would receive an invitation to the major commemoration in Dublin.
"I believe it's important that there is an opportunity for everyone to participate in what will be a series of events over 1916," he said.
"Our commemorations are inclusive, and we trust that there will be full participation."
"There will be an opportunity and an invitation for everybody to participate at that level."
Mr Flanagan also said that he wishes to attend the official event to commemorate the centenary of the Somme at the Thiepval Memorial in France on 1 July 2016.
The comedian made his name alongside Matt Lucas in the BBC sketch show Little Britain and is a judge on Britain's Got Talent.
But he has achieved phenomenal success with his nine novels, including The Boy in the Dress and Gangsta Granny.
"I should really give up comedy and just concentrate on children's books because it is so rewarding," he said.
Walliams's books have sold more than 14 million copies around the world and been translated into almost 50 languages.
Nonetheless, he admitted he felt under pressure venturing into the world of literature.
"It's actually rather a big responsibility that children are picking up your books," he told the BBC.
"They have got to be good. And then you've got this audience and you think, 'I've got to write more and more'.
"I get tweets the day the new book comes out saying, 'Yes I've read that one, when is the next one?'"
One of his picture books for very young children, The First Hippo on the Moon, is now being adapted for the stage by Les Petits Theatre Company.
It will receive its world premiere at The Royal Hippodrome Theatre in Eastbourne in December before going on a nationwide tour.
It tells the tale of two big hippos with one big dream - to make it into space.
Walliams even makes a guest appearance in the stage production.
"My voice does appear in the show as an on-board computer," he explained.
The story is being brought to life using puppets, and Walliams has fond memories of his own childhood favourites, Sooty and Sweep, The Muppets and, especially, Basil Brush.
"I'd really like to work with Basil Brush," he revealed. "I just thought he was so funny. I feel Basil Brush should be back on television."
Walliams's best-known comedy partner is Matt Lucas - the pair became friends after meeting at the National Youth Theatre in 1990 and found fame on BBC Three's Pop Profiles and then Little Britain.
But they have not appeared together since 2011. Walliams said the pair were still in touch and had not fallen out. And he said he was "sure" they would collaborate again "at some stage".
"There's always an interesting thing about reunions isn't there?" he pondered. "Timing it right. If you get it exactly right, like Take That, you become a big thing. But if you do it too soon, it cannot make any impact.
"It's an interesting thing when you come back together. Are you doing something nostalgic for people who liked your shows from 10 years ago? Or are you trying to do something new?
"Its quite an intense thing working with someone for a very long time, and it's quite healthy to be able to do your own things and then come back together when you think the time is right."
Walliams returns to UK television screens on Friday in his first sketch show since Little Britain ended eight years ago.
Walliams and Friend sees him joined by a different celebrity each week.
He has also just been announced as the first guest host of ITV's new nightly entertainment show, which will launch in 2017.
But he is also hard at work on his next children's book, which will be published on World Book Day, 2 March, 2017.

The man was arrested by police in Birmingham on Wednesday and was brought to Northern Ireland for questioning.
He faces a number of charges involving drug trafficking and money laundering and is to appear before Newtownards Magistrates' Court.
He was among 15 people arrested in the UK and Italy during the investigation.
Four men have already appeared in court charged with similar offences.
The charges follow the seizure of more than £800,000 of 'skunk' cannabis and cash during searches in multiple locations across Northern Ireland in recent days.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland have carried out searches in Belfast, Greenisland, Bangor, Newtownards and Ballywalter.
They have also been co-operating with police in Italy, where officers uncovered a cannabis factory.
It is believed the total value of the 'skunk' seized in Northern Ireland and Italy was £4.25m and was destined for Northern Ireland.
The four other men who have already been charged - Jian Wen Chen, 29, of Belfast, Jiazhu Cia, 30, of Ballywalter, Yong He, 33, from Belfast and Wei Zou, 32, from Bangor - all appeared in Newtownards Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
The men were among six people, including two women, arrested in Northern Ireland on Tuesday.
The women, aged 29 and 26, have since been released on police bail pending further inquiries.
Eight people were also arrested in Italy and remain in custody.
South Parade Pier in Portsmouth has been closed since 2012 and is in a state of disrepair.
Owners Dawn Randall and Fred Nash say they have sold the structure, but are yet to reveal the buyer's identity.
The South Parade Trust welcomed the £10,000 grant, but admitted millions of pounds would be needed to restore the pier to its former glory.
The money will be used to gain professional fundraising expertise, increase supporter numbers and fund specialist training in community asset projects.
The award has been made by the Department of Communities and Local Government under its Community Ownership and Management of Assets fund.
Leon Reis, chairman of South Parade Trust, said: "Short of a profligate fairy godmother pouring her chest of gold into this pigeon-infested black hole, nobody else is going to buy the pier and certainly nobody else with the money will share our community commitments."
Earlier this week it was revealed the current owners of the pier are to be issued with a summons regarding work to make the structure safe.
The case is listed at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court for 31 March.
Ms Randall has insisted the "work is being organised now".
She has previously said she does not want to sell to the trust "because they never had the money".
The British number one moved up three places despite losing to German Julia Goerges in the French Open first round.
Durie, who won two WTA singles titles in 1983, achieved a career-high ranking of five a year later.
Konta, 25, faces American Victoria Duval in the first round of the Nottingham Open on Monday at 12:00 BST.
The Central European University in Budapest has become the centre of a symbolic, international stand-off.
The university says Hungary's government has been trying to force its closure and undermine academic freedom.
The university has accreditation in New York, and Mr Cuomo has been hosting negotiations.
"We look forward to a speedy resolution that safeguards the integrity of CEU and its vital educational mission," said a statement from Mr Cuomo after a meeting with Hungarian government representatives.
The fate of the university in Budapest has embroiled Hungary's prime minister, other European leaders, the European Parliament, international university heads and the US government.
It has been seen as a battle between Western, liberal values and more authoritarian, nationalist attitudes - and the threat to the university's future prompted street protests in Budapest.
University president Michael Ignatieff said that this was a "line in the sand" and would be the first time since World War Two that a European democracy had forced a university to close.
"That's what makes it unprecedented. That's what makes it shocking," Mr Ignatieff told the BBC last month.
"We're a free institution, and this is about a drive to control."
But Hungary's government has said that is being misrepresented and that the university is seeking privileges not available to other Hungarian universities.
Adding to the controversy is that the university was founded by the liberal philanthropist George Soros - who has been heavily criticised by Hungary's government.
The university is accredited in both Hungary and in New York state in the United States - and Mr Cuomo had said that he would hold talks with Hungary's government with the aim of keeping the university open.
Hungary's leader, Viktor Orban, had been a vocal supporter of US President Donald Trump before he was elected.
But the US government has strongly backed the CEU university, accusing Hungary's government of imposing "discriminatory, onerous requirements on US-accredited institutions in Hungary", which, it says, "threatens academic freedom and independence".
The US has urged the Hungarian government to engage directly in talks with the CEU university.
The Hungarian government says that all institutions with overseas links will have to comply with university regulations - but it remained open to the talks with US authorities.
The university, responding to the talks in New York, said: "CEU is not a participant in the negotiations, but we hope they lead to a solution that enables CEU to remain in Budapest as a free institution."
The 40-year-old has spent years trying to discover her true identity and find the woman who gave birth to her.
Karen is one of thousands of people who were adopted under the Republic of Ireland's secretive adoption system, which has been in force since 1952.
This week, the government announced plans to end that secrecy, but not all the measures have been welcomed.
Karen was born in 1974 and was raised on a farm in County Cavan by a couple she believed were her parents.
But when she reached the age of about 10, she found out she was not who she thought she was, when she discovered her adoption certificate.
"Growing up, I always knew there was something different," she said.
"I always knew I didn't look like either of my parents or even my brother, I don't look like him, and I always knew I didn't fit in. There was something I felt was missing".
She had been issued with a false baptism certificate in the name Catherine Maguire, but her adopted family always referred to her as "Karen". Neither name was real.
Despite the revelation, she said she maintained a good relationship with her adoptive mother, who died when Karen was 18. Her adoptive father died last year.
The fake certificate was signed by a priest in Drogheda, County Louth, and around the time of her adoptive mother's death, Karen, then 18, wrote to him, asking for information.
The priest replied, saying he had passed her letter on to the Health Service Executive (HSE), the body that runs all public health services in the Republic of Ireland.
Karen decided not to pursue the matter with the HSE at that stage. She later got married, took her husband's surname and is now raising a family in Omagh, County Tyrone.
But having children of her own made the search for information about her birth family more important than ever. She started asking questions again in 1996, when she gave birth to a second son who was very ill.
"I pushed it then, to try to find some medical information but all they would tell me was that there was no history of any diseases in the family or any conditions that I should be concerned about."
She was also told, at that stage, her mother had got married and had other children.
At present, adopted people in the Republic of Ireland do not have an automatic right to information that would help them apply for their birth certificate, although the new law will go some way to redressing the balance in their favour.
Adoption authorities are, however, able to release basic facts known as "non-identifying" information about birth parents.
When I ask Karen what she knew for certain about the woman who gave birth to her, she replied: "She was in her early 20s, she was a catering assistant, and I just have (information on) height and colour of eyes, and things like that."
She had another breakthrough recently though, when the Catholic Church published Irish parish records online, including baptismal records.
By cross-referencing her date of birth with babies born to single mothers, a friend of Karen's tracked down what they now believe is her real baptism certificate.
She was named Jennifer and was born to a single woman in a Drogheda hospital in October 1974. She was adopted weeks later from a baby home outside the town.
She has since tried to make contact with her birth mother, through social workers in Drogheda.
Unfortunately, her mother's sister - Karen's biological aunt - replied on the family's behalf saying her mother did not want any contact.
The news was "devastating" for Karen, but she said she will not give up her search.
"I hope that at some stage I would be given the opportunity to send her a letter personally, and just to know that she is happy. If she doesn't want contact, I'm not going to turn up on somebody's doorstep and destroy somebody's family," said Karen.
"I assume, from what they had told me, that her husband and her family don't know. I would just like to know the truth of what happened to me and what happened to her."
Karen says she holds no bitterness towards the woman who gave her up for adoption but is angry with the system that denied her the right to know the truth.
"I feel bitter that I had such a struggle, that I had to go begging, nearly, to find information," she said.
"I don't feel bitter towards her because I can understand, back then in 1974 she was on her own, I assume, and she had no support from family probably.
"I can understand being a single parent because I've done it myself and it's not an easy job and back in those days it would have been a lot harder."
The new legislation should make it easier for someone like Karen to find the basic personal details that she had to spend years tracking down.
However, she said she was "insulted" by plans to make adoptees sign a statutory declaration, promising to respect the wishes of parents who do not want contact.
"To me personally, it's making us out like we're just going to turn up on somebody's doorstep, which is not what any adoptee I've ever spoken to wants to do.
"All we really want is to have the basic right, that everybody else has, to know who were are and where we come from and to know the stories around our birth.
"I think to be made to sign [declarations] sounds like it's going back years, to where the mothers were forced to sign their children away - we're going to be forced to sign our rights away."
Asked what she would say to her mother if she ever agreed to a meeting, Karen said: "I would just like to know how she is and whether she had a good life and what the story of my birth was, did she marry my father?
"I just want to know that she didn't suffer."
Swindon Borough Council said the sale of Thamesdown Transport to operator Go South Coast "offered the best value".
Councillor David Renard said it was in the "best interests" of bus users and Thamesdown Transport employees.
Go South Coast, said it would be "business as usual as far as our customers are concerned".
Conservative council leader Mr Renard said they were "one of the few local authorities in the country to still own a local bus company".
But "despite continued financial support from the council", Thamesdown Transport had "incurred losses over the over the past five years due to difficult trading conditions".
He said: "We have had to change the way we provide services across the council while balancing the ever increasing demand on adults' and children's services."
Andrew Wickham, from Go South Coast, said it was an "excellent opportunity" to develop services in Swindon and north Wiltshire.
He said: "Any tickets or passes they have will still be valid, and our 85 buses will continue to serve existing routes with no change to timings."
Claire Walters, from Bus Users UK, said: "This is a municipal bus company but that means most people would see Thamesdown as belonging to them and the fact that they have not been consulted seems a little bit strange."
Labour councillor Jim Grant said: "It's a very sad day in the history of Swindon that Thamesdown Transport had to be sold off."
The council said it would arrange a joint meeting with Go South Coast and bus user groups to discuss any concerns.
The Shenzhen-based company said it missed two interest payments, raising concerns that more of its creditors could demand their money back.
Kaisa has borrowed billions in order to pay for large land purchases in China.
But the firm ran into trouble after the government froze some of its projects as part of a local corruption probe.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has spearheaded one of the country's most severe crackdowns on corruption, resulting in many companies and top public officials coming under scrutiny.
Investors have been closely watching Kaisa's troubles after its assets were frozen and senior management stepped down last year, raising concerns the company was going to collapse.
Its founder and chairman Kwok Ying Shing unexpectedly resigned on 31 December because of health reasons, but he returned to the company this month and has been reinstated.
The firm's Hong Kong-listed shares were also suspended in December after losing about half of their market value and ratings agencies downgraded the firm's credit outlook.
However, Kaisa recently regained permission to restart the projects that had been frozen.
Kaisa's troubles have unnerved the local stock and bond markets, particularly for investors who have bought into other Chinese real estate developers.
Any trouble in China's property market is closely-watched because the sector accounts for about a third of the country's gross domestic product.
The price of Kaisa's US dollar bonds fell on Tuesday after the default was officially announced on concerns the developer may not be able to fulfil its financial obligations.
However, the developer has been in talks with creditors over a restructuring that will allow them to have extended repayment deadlines and lower interest rates.
Rival developer Sunac is also bidding for a controlling 49.3% stake in the company.
The 24m (78ft) sculpture weighs 15 tonnes and is made of wood draped with swathes of brightly coloured fabric.
The sculpture, by the US artist Richard Tuttle, is suspended over the atrium and is intended to resemble aeroplane wings.
Tuttle said it was "the job of the artist is to try to find a reunion between the mechanical and the human".
The wooden shapes of the sculpture, he continued, were designed to resemble aeroplane parts in order to "raise the issue of genocide".
"I wanted to be a pilot and passed everything and then realised that they wanted me to fly over Vietnam at such a height and drop bombs on innocent children," he went on.
"I'm born in the 20th Century and my soul, if you will, is a 20th Century soul. Sometimes I call this the first piece of the 21st Century."
The Tate commission, which will remain on view until 6 April, ties in with a retrospective of the renowned sculptor and poet's work at the Whitechapel Gallery in east London.
According to Tate Modern, the work "brings together three specially-made fabrics, each of which combines natural and man-made fibres.
"These are suspended from the ceiling as a sculptural form... to create a huge volume of joyous colour and fluidity."
The last work to be seen in the Turbine Hall was Tino Sehgal's live performance piece These Associations two years ago.
That free-form, interactive piece saw visitors swept up in impromptu dances, races and conversations by choreographed performers.
There have been no art installations in the Turbine Hall since then due to building work.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Korean car manufacturer Hyundai would be the hall's new sponsor, beginning in 2015.
Work in the atrium was previously sponsored by Unilever, whose 12-year association saw large works by Anish Kapoor, Rachel Whiteread and others occupy the space.
Traces of beeswax found on ancient pottery from Europe, the Near East and North Africa suggest the first farmers kept bees.
The research, published in Nature, shows our links with the honeybee date back to the dawn of agriculture.
Prehistoric people may have domesticated wild bees or gathered honey and wax for medicines and food.
Prof Richard Evershed of Bristol University, one of the lead scientists on the study, said: "We've got the earliest evidence for man's association with the honeybee.
"Man is collecting the beeswax and the honey and perhaps even domesticating them."
The honeybee has been part of human culture for centuries, appearing in cave paintings depicting honeycombs, swarms of bees and honey collecting.
However, there has been little direct evidence of when and where ancient people began harvesting honey and wax from the insects.
International scientists examined over 6,000 pottery vessels to piece together a map of the honeybee at a time when the world had just emerged from the last Ice Age about 10,000 years ago.
Lifestyles were shifting from hunter-gathering towards growing the first crops and keeping animals for meat, milk and skin.
The oldest evidence for human links with the honeybee, dating back almost 9,000 years, was found in what is now Turkey.
By a few thousand years later, beeswax was detected across the Balkan peninsula, including Greece, Romania, Serbia, and then at sites occupied by early farmers in Central Europe.
The first evidence for the use of bees in North Africa was also found around the same time.
In the British Isles, the chemical fingerprint of bee products was found on broken pottery at Neolithic sites in southern England.
The northerly limit appears to be Denmark, above which conditions may have been too harsh for bees to thrive.
Ireland and Scotland also appeared to be off-limits to honeybees at the time.
Prof Alan Outram of the University of Exeter, another lead researcher on the study, said until now there had been a poor understanding of the distribution of the species due to a patchy fossil record.
He added: "Our study of the use of honey and beeswax seems to show there was a northern limit to where they were living during the Neolithic, with no evidence being found in thousands of pottery shards found in Ireland, Scotland, Norway or Sweden."
The beeswax may have been used by prehistoric people to glue together stone arrows and spears or to make pots waterproof.
Honey may have provided a rare source of sweetness in their diet.
Prof Outram explained:"The plentiful supply of sugary foods is a very recent phenomenon, but in the past sweet foods were very hard to find and it is clear from our study that the earliest farmers in Europe had a keen interest in exploiting the valuable products of the honeybee."
Recent DNA studies suggest that the honeybee originated in Asia around 300,000 years ago and rapidly spread across Europe and Africa.
The bee's range contracted in Europe during the last Ice Age, but expanded in Africa.
Modern bees face multiple threats from climate change, pesticides and diseases.

This week Andy Murray leads his nation's attempt to win the sport's premier team competition for the first time since 1936.
The only occasion they have come close in the intervening 79 years was at a time of turmoil in Britain, with widespread public sector strikes and the Labour government of James Callaghan close to collapse.
A team of disparate and occasionally volatile characters - the brilliant but divisive Buster Mottram, chalk-and-cheese brothers John and David Lloyd, and veteran doubles specialist Mark Cox - came together to win five ties before losing to a John McEnroe-inspired United States.
The Lloyd brothers and team captain Paul Hutchins reveal the extraordinary highs and lows of that memorable campaign 37 years ago, which began with their best player exiled from the squad.
Despite being British number one, Mottram had not played Davis Cup for 18 months after falling out with Hutchins at Wimbledon in 1976, following criticism from the coach.
"Buster never used to like grass courts and I felt he didn't try or there was something he did at Wimbledon and I was particularly upset about it," Hutchins recalled. "He then got upset with me and refused to play with me or under me."
In January 1978, it was suggested Mottram wanted Hutchins replaced by three-time Wimbledon semi-finalist Roger Taylor. John Lloyd, then 23 and Britain's number two singles player, threatened to go on strike if Mottram had his way, suggesting "Britain will find herself with a one-man team".
"He has gone too far this time, even by his own standards," the younger Lloyd told the Daily Express. "He is a tragic tennis case... one of those players who thinks he's bigger than his country; bigger than everything.
"It's ridiculous. It's like Kevin Keegan saying he won't play for England under Ron Greenwood."
David Lloyd, then 30, described Mottram as "a hopeless team man".
But despite the ill-feeling, within a month Hutchins and Mottram had settled their differences and Britain's best player agreed to return to the squad.
The son of tennis players Tony Mottram and Joy Gannon, Christopher 'Buster' Mottram attracted much controversy off the court. He was only 22 but not shy in expressing his political views, and was linked to the far-right National Front, then a growing force within British politics with race a tinderbox issue.
It alienated him from sections of the British public and Hutchins attempted, unsuccessfully, to persuade Mottram to distance himself from the party.
"What I felt then and what I still feel is it was just silly of Buster to have got involved but, equally, the political side used Buster for all that they could get from him. What he thought was a small thing suddenly became a big thing," Hutchins said.
John Lloyd said Mottram enjoyed provoking reactions. "One year Buster sent a telegram to support [Conservative Prime Minister] Margaret Thatcher over something to do with the unions. It was sent on behalf of the British Davis Cup team. It got out into the press and the LTA had to apologise for it.
"He would make comments with a smile on his face and I don't think he really meant them. He was just a bit quirky and a bit nuts."
His brother David added: "Buster was the Geoff Boycott of tennis, very individual and he wanted to win for himself. When Boycott batted he wanted to bat all day and the things around him didn't matter. That's difficult when you're in a team event but we had to support Buster because he was so good.
"Once he was in the team environment on the court, he changed. I think he came around more to us, which was great. He did perform well and we had some laughs. He was a nutcase but a great player."
Britain's first Davis Cup tie in 1978 was in Monaco in March. Mottram travelled with the squad but a back injury prevented him from playing, so current All England Club chief executive Richard Lewis filled the second singles berth alongside John Lloyd.
A 5-0 victory brought a perfect start, while David Lloyd enjoyed a big win in a Monte Carlo casino, which he considered a sign that Britain would go on to win the competition. His team-mates chuckled at his optimism.
A week before GB faced Austria in Bristol in June, the Lloyd brothers played Mottram and Australian Phil Dent in a doubles match at Beckenham that descended into rancour as David Lloyd and Mottram argued on court.
Mottram had been warned by the umpire for taking too long between points, and following another delay, David Lloyd urged him to get on with the game. But Mottram approached the net and told the elder Lloyd: "Stop complaining. You can't tell me what to do. You're not really good enough to be in this Davis Cup team."
A furious Lloyd said he would not play against Austria unless Mottram stayed in a different hotel. An unrepentant Mottram retorted: "I won't apologise because I haven't done anything wrong. David is sensitive because he knows I am speaking the truth. He started the verbals, not me."
Hutchins, who was "trying to keep the ship together", acted as peacemaker between his players and the rift was healed as Mottram prepared to play his first Davis Cup tie in two years. But not everyone was pleased to see him representing Britain again.
Demonstrators descended on the Bristol Tennis and Squash Centre carrying banners saying 'Heil Adolf Mottram', 'Facist pig' and 'Buster Mottram is a Nazi'. A man with a loudhailer urged spectators to barrack Mottram on the court.
John Lloyd said the players had to travel to the venue via different routes to try to avoid the protests, while David Lloyd recalled "we were bombarded by flour bombs".
Mottram did not flinch, winning his first singles rubber for the loss of just six games before teaming up with David Lloyd to win the doubles in five sets and secure victory for Britain. Just a week after their bitter row, the pair were hugging each other on court.
"It was typical Buster," noted David Lloyd. "He was a bit like me - when things were against him, he attacked rather than defended so he had a bit of a war against the flour-bombers."
Mottram was unusual among British players in preferring to play on clay rather than grass. His prowess on the slower surface helped Britain beat France at Roland Garros shortly after Wimbledon, beating future French Open champion Yannick Noah while the Paris crowd tried to unsettle him.
David Lloyd recalled: "There was a guy in the stands who had beer and cola cans tied to a string. Every time Buster served, he dragged the cans down the steps.
"Instead of getting cross, Buster went to the guy, pretended he was a conductor and encouraged him to do it more. On purpose, he got the full Roland Garros against him. That's what Buster was like - he wanted that. He played unbelievable tennis and he won."
John Lloyd then beat Eric Deblicker in five sets with elder brother David offering his own brand of encouragement. "Unfortunately John would get cramp, sometimes in his head. He got it in the fifth set and looked like he was going to tank it and lose," David said.
"We had to go the side of the court and shout and scream at him. As luck had it, Deblicker got real cramp, John's cramp miraculously went away and he went on and won."
After a doubles defeat for the Lloyds, Mottram beat Deblicker in straight sets to take Britain through to the European Zone A final against what was then Czechoslovakia, at Eastbourne in September.
The Czechs gave a debut to an 18-year-old Ivan Lendl, who would go on to win eight Grand Slam titles and coach Andy Murray to his greatest triumphs. Three of the rubbers went to deciding sets but Britain won the tie 5-0 to set up a home semi-final against Australia.
Australia, who have won the Davis Cup on 28 occasions, second only to the United States, were reigning champions and favourites when they faced Britain at Crystal Palace in October.
The hosts' preparations for a tie staged in an intimate 2,700-capacity venue - the LTA had not envisaged Britain would get that far and had failed to reserve a bigger arena - were not helped by a love-struck John Lloyd arriving three days late after beginning a romance with women's number one and his future wife, Chris Evert.
"I was in Boston with Chris and instead of meeting the team on the Saturday in England I didn't show up until Monday night or Tuesday," he recalls. "Everyone in the team, including my brother, was not happy, quite rightly.
"It was a question of being professional and being with three ugly guys, or being with Chris, and I picked Chris."
Lloyd practised poorly, which he said was normal, and then lost the first 10 points of his match against John Alexander before suddenly striking form and "playing one of the best matches I've ever played, considering the pressure situation".
Lloyd won 7-5 6-2 6-2, while an inspired Mottram beat Tony Roche 8-6 3-6 7-5 6-4 in "the best match I've ever played".
David Lloyd and Mark Cox were underdogs against the 1977 Wimbledon doubles champions Ross Case and Geoff Masters but a four-set win took Britain through to their first Davis Cup final in 41 years amid scenes of wild celebration. Mottram poured champagne over Cox and David Lloyd, who ran around the arena with the Union Jack.
The euphoria was dampened by the United States beating Sweden in the other semi-final. A Swedish victory would have meant the final was played in Britain, but a five-set doubles defeat for Bjorn Borg and Ove Bengtson was decisive as the US took it 3-2.
"We were hoping and praying that Sweden would beat America," said David Lloyd. "Playing America in America and those guys was a much, much harder match."
"Those guys" included a precocious 19-year-old John McEnroe, already nicknamed 'Superbrat' in the press for his on-court antics, making his Davis Cup singles debut.
The British squad hoped the New Yorker might be afflicted by nerves when the final was played at Mission Hills Country Club in the desert city of Palm Springs, California, in December.
But on a specially-prepared, ultra-fast court "which meant it was like playing on glass", McEnroe beat John Lloyd and Mottram in singles, losing only five games to each of them.
"It was almost a privilege to be on court against him," said the younger Lloyd. "Some of the tennis he played was on a different planet to what I was used to. It was an annihilation."
"McEnroe was a different league, even at 19 years of age," Hutchins said. "Here was this young punk of a guy who was not really fearful of playing the Davis Cup final at all. You could only admire how good he was."
Britain's sole point came on day one via the indefatigable Mottram, who, despite being hampered by a back injury, came from two sets and match point down to beat Brian Gottfried in five. He started his comeback as the sun disappeared behind the Coachella Valley mountains and the temperature plunged from nearly 30C to freezing, slowing the conditions. "It was bone-chilling," John Lloyd said.
Late into the night, only 300 shivering spectators were left but Mottram was greeted with a chorus of 'For He's A Jolly Good Fellow' by the British fans when he finally prevailed. But GB did not win another set in the three remaining rubbers as the United States sealed an emphatic 4-1 win.
Although the final ultimately ended in disappointment, Hutchins and the Lloyds look back on Britain's Davis Cup run of 1978 with immense fondness.
"You had a vast mix of characters: Mark Cox from Cambridge University; David Lloyd - the never-say-die guy; the playboy of the late '70s in John Lloyd being such fun and then you had Buster, who was the straight Englishman right out of a novel," Hutchins reflected. "We didn't necessarily love each other but we all got on."
David Lloyd became a hugely successful businessman, founding the chain of leisure clubs that bears his name, but says nothing compares to representing your country.
"It meant everything - to me anyway," he said. "At the beginning of the tie they say 'David Lloyd, Great Britain' and your name was never mentioned again. It was 'Game, Great Britain'. There is nothing in life that can give you that same feeling."
According to John Lloyd: "Sometimes it got a bit niggly and a bit volatile but, overall, the memories were damn good ones. It was a big highlight of my career, probably the number one."
As for Mottram, who declined to be interviewed for this article, he remains a largely reclusive figure, occasionally making headlines over his strident opinions and political views, such as when he tried to broker an electoral pact between UKIP and the British National Party in 2008.
His achievements as a tennis player - reaching 15 in the world rankings and amassing a 31-10 winning record in the Davis Cup - are often overlooked.
"Because Buster was extremely quirky, to put it mildly, and didn't want any kind of publicity, after he stopped playing he very quickly disappeared off the radar of British tennis," said John Lloyd, who will be part of the BBC's coverage of this week's final in Belgium. "That is sad."
Hutchins, formerly head of men's tennis in Britain and now tournament director of the ATP Nottingham Open, believes Mottram was almost as important to his squad as world number two Andy Murray is to the current team, led by Leon Smith, who will attempt to go one better on the Ghent clay.
"Andy is the talisman of our team now and I was very fortunate that I had Buster Mottram as the talisman of our team," he added.
"Buster was quite an enigma of tennis but he had these traits in him that you can see in Andy - doggedness, cussedness, never wanting to lose. All the opponents hated playing him. He used to hate losing a point. He was very intense and hard on himself.
"Once we got him back, he was the most amusing guy. Great Britain has a lot to be thankful to him for."

The facility is expected to open later this year at Dunscore Church in the village where Jane Haining was born.
It will feature photographs, documents and other personal effects.
The scheme is being part-funded by a £106,400 grant awarded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and Historic Environment Scotland (HES).
Ms Haining died in Auschwitz in 1944 at the age of 47.
She is the only Scot to be officially honoured at the Yad Vashem memorial in Israel for giving her life to help protect Jews during the Holocaust.
A copy of her handwritten last will and testament, which was found in the Church of Scotland offices in Edinburgh last year, is expected to go on display in the new centre.
The development has been welcomed by Rev Ian Alexander, secretary of the World Mission Council of the Church of Scotland.
He said: "This is an exciting development for the Dunscore congregation.
"The heritage centre will include information on the life of Jane Haining, a woman who was simultaneously ordinary and extraordinary, and will highlight how her life in the church, the village and the community shaped her, and prepared her for her future work.
"The life of faith weaves itself through the whole history of the village, and having a warm and welcoming church will offer opportunity for people to be transformed today and also go out and change the world."
The heritage centre will also focus on the history of Dunscore Church - the current building dates back to 1823 - and the village.
A memorial cairn for Ms Haining, who was the matron at the Scottish Mission School in Budapest before her death, already stands near Dunscore Church.
Luke Griffin, 20, of Cardiff, targeted seven girls and a boy, all under 10, biting, licking or tickling their feet.
He filmed some offences on his phone.
Griffin was handed six years in a young offenders' institution at the city's crown court, after admitting 13 sexual assaults and a count of false imprisonment.
The court heard the offences took place over a two-year period, as Griffin gave acrobatics and keep fit lessons.
Defence barrister Andrew Taylor said: "He has had a foot fetish since he was younger and has had sexual fantasies.
"Griffin said he's been stupid and abused his position of trust. He got sexual gratification from it."
Most of the assaults happened as he gave pupils lifts to and from the gym, the court heard.
In some cases he bound his victims' ankles, before licking or tickling their feet, while he tied one girl up and shut her in his car boot for a few minutes.
When he freed her he told her not to tell anyone or he would "get her mum in the night", while he bribed others to keep silent with 50p and £1 coins.
Prosecutor Caroline Rees said he "abused the trust" of parents, describing it as "deliberate and sophisticated targeting and grooming of children who were easily manipulated".
She described all his victims as from primary school and "vulnerable", with at least two upset that their parents had split up.
"He would arrange lifts to and from the club," she added.
"He was doing that for the purpose of gaining access to the children away from their parents."
In sentencing him, Judge Patrick Curran called it "the grossest breach of trust".
He added: "You adopted a method of selecting certain parents and certain children and targeted and groomed the children who were vulnerable "
Griffin was made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order which bars him from having contact with anyone under the age of 18 and made to sign the sexual offenders' register.
Following the sentencing, the Crown Prosecution Service's Wendy Brady said: "I hope that today's sentencing will be of some comfort to his young victims as well as their families, who continue to support them in dealing with the effects of Griffin's actions."
Det Sgt Annalisa Bartley, of South Wales Police, described Griffin as "dangerous and manipulative".
She said his victims have been on "a harrowing journey", adding: "Despite being so young and often very frightened, they have shown remarkable bravery in coming forward."
The opening batsman, who has rejoined Middlesex for 2015, played nine Tests but has not been selected since the 2013 home series against New Zealand.
On being dropped by England, the 31-year-old told the Guardian: "It is like being dumped by a girlfriend and you don't think they have given you the real reasons. There is no closure.
"But I am not going to give up hope. I don't want to accept it."
Compton was called up by England in 2012 after amassing 1,494 first-class runs for Somerset the previous season at an average of 99.6.
He made 208 runs in eight innings during his first tour in India, before compiling his two Test centuries in New Zealand in March 2013.
Having made just 16, 15, one and seven in the return series two months later, the selectors decided to discard him for that summer's Ashes contest, which England went on to win 3-0.
South Africa-born Compton, grandson of England great Denis Compton, feels he can still make a contribution.
"I feel like I'm in the prime of my career now and I want to kick on again," he added.
"I thought I was going well and then suddenly you get dropped and spend nights in bed lying awake reflecting."
Asked if he thought sacked batsman Kevin Pietersen deserves a place in the side, Compton added: "I have always had the belief you must pick the best team and manage it. Every player should be available.
"You want winners and if KP has his pads on, is in form and hungry, then I would want to be watching. The game is about bums on seats and we are in danger of losing that."
Using plastic sheets, hay bales, water and washing-up liquid, the 90m (295ft) slide will be set up in Park Street.
Riders on lilos will be cheered on by a crowd bashing cow bells on either side.
Some 360 ticket holders, picked from nearly 100,000 applicants, will ride the slide from 11:00 BST on Sunday.
Luke Jerram, the man behind the slide, said he was told by the council on Thursday his "Park-and-Slide" could "definitely" go ahead.
The project was first announced in March by the Bristol-based artist.
With demand "far exceeding capacity", a ticket ballot was held to whittle down the 96,573 applicants.
Using 300 hay bales, tarpaulin and a "slide strip", Mr Jerram said it would take about three hours to set up the giant water chute.
"I'll be the first person down it. I'm the guinea pig," he said.
"We're using a mix of water and washing-up liquid, so I'll be getting it primed and checking it all works so that we can get it signed off for health and safety."
The slide is set to be in operation until 17:00, although the organisers say the event is still subject to an "on-the-day final health and safety sign-off" and they "reserve the right to cancel at any time".
It will be based on the true story of James Donovan, a US lawyer recruited by the CIA to negotiate the release of a pilot shot down over Russia in 1960.
The Coens, best known for Fargo and No Country For Old Men, will write a new draft of the script, originally by British playwright Matt Charman.
It's the first time the duo have made a film with both Spielberg and Hanks.
However, Hanks starred in their 2004 remake of The Ladykillers; while Spielberg was an executive producer on their Western, True Grit, in 2010.
The four stars have 10 Oscars between them.
Joel and Ethan Coen's most recent film is Inside Llewelyn Davis. However, they are also known to write scripts on projects they are not directing, including the critically-panned Gambit - starring Colin Firth - and the forthcoming Angelina Jolie film, Unbroken.
Spielberg is believed to have several projects in the pipeline, including Roald Dahl adaptation The BFG, which is due to begin shooting in January 2015.
The new thriller will be his fourth film collaboration with Hanks, with whom he previously worked on The Terminal, Saving Private Ryan and Catch Me If You Can.
Charman, who wrote the first version of the screenplay, is best known for The Machine - a play about chess master Gary Kasparov's infamous match against the computer program Deep Blue.
The Beatles spent time at the 18-acre ashram, meditating and writing songs in 1968. Many of the songs made it onto the band's iconic White Album.
The ashram was run by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, a flamboyant self-styled Indian guru, who died in 2008.
It was abandoned by the guru and his followers in the 1970s.
But the retreat, which was taken over by the local forestry department in 2003, remained a big draw with Beatles fans from all over the world. They would usually sneak in by climbing the walls or paying a small bribe to a gatekeeper.
The derelict ashram is located on the fringes of a tiger reserve. A meditation hall with colourful graffiti on the walls is the main attraction.
Authorities opened the ashram to visitors on Tuesday, and are charging Indian and foreign tourists 150 ($2.24; £1.49) and 700 rupees ($10.49; £7) respectively.
"We have cleaned up the place and lined the pathways with flowers. We are making some gardens and putting some benches for visitors," senior forestry official Rajendra Nautiyal told the BBC.
"We are introducing a nature trial and bird walk. We also plan to set up a cafeteria and a souvenir shop at some point. We want to retain the place's rustic look."
However visitors will not be allowed to draw on the walls on the ashram without permission from the authorities, he said.
The Beatles had planned a three-month retreat at the estate in 1968, but, according to some accounts, it descended into farce.
Ringo Starr went home after 10 days complaining about the spicy food.
Paul McCartney stayed for a month, while John Lennon and George Harrison left abruptly after six weeks.
Paul Saltzman, author of The Beatles in Rishikesh, says the band wrote some 48 songs during their stay.
The retreat itself - leased to the guru by the government in 1957 - was gradually reclaimed by nature after being abandoned.
Deborah Wilkinson, 42, was found unresponsive in a house on Farthingale Way in Hemlington at about 19:00 BST on Friday, Cleveland Police said.
A 73-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder has been bailed.
Ms Wilkinson's family said she was "a loving daughter, mother, sister and friend to many".
The family added they wanted "to express our sincere gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of sympathy and love for our family".
It happened as he crossed Shettleston Road in the east end of the city at about 15:25 on Friday.
He was struck by a Mercedes Benz lorry and was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where medical staff described his condition as stable.
The driver of the lorry was uninjured but was left badly shaken by the incident. Police have urged anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.
The road was closed for several hours as officers investigated at the scene.
Officers are also reviewing CCTV footage and asked any witnesses to contact them.
The acting president, Nicolas Maduro, began his campaign in Mr Chavez's hometown, Sabaneta de Barinas.
He vowed to continue his programme of social reforms.
Opposition candidate Henrique Capriles said in Monagas state the government would do anything to hold on to power.
He called on his supporters to go to the polls on 14 April.
"All I have is the power of the people. I don't have the support of the courts," he told tens of thousands of his supporters in Maturin, capital of the eastern state of Monagas.
"Each one of you should take the campaign to your homes, to your neighbourhoods," said Mr Capriles, who was defeated by Mr Chavez in last year's presidential election.
The official campaign has just begun, but the two main candidates have already been holding events since Mr Chavez died of cancer on 5 March after 14 years in office.
Mr Maduro explained why he decided to begin the campaign in Mr Chavez's home state of Barinas.
"We are here to make a commitment to the land where he was born: we will not let the people down and we will go to the very end to build socialism."
He reminded voters he had been chosen by the late president to continue his programme of social reforms.
"We can say out loud that our people have never betrayed Hugo Chavez. We never let him down. The people are ready to continue the revolution, the historic legacy he has left us," Mr Maduro said to a crowd of supporters in Sabaneta de Barinas' main square.
After the first events in Barinas state, Mr Maduro will follow the route Mr Chavez travelled during the previous presidential campaign six months ago, hoping that he, too, will end it in the presidential palace.
The BBC's Irene Caselli in Caracas says even though these are the first elections without the presence of Mr Chavez for almost two decades, he continues to dominate the campaign.
Mr Maduro has continually invoked the memory of Mr Chavez and called himself his son and apostle, while Mr Capriles has told his supporters that Mr Maduro is not as competent as the late president.
Mr Capriles has also focused on insecurity in the country, saying that the government has failed to put forward "a single proposal to defeat violence and give peace to Venezuela".
According to interior minister Nestor Reverol, 3,400 murders were recorded in Venezuela in the first three months of 2013.
Polls suggest Mr Maduro has a lead of 14 points over Mr Capriles, with the remaining five candidates for the presidency trailing far behind.
Simon Marcus, of the Riots Victim and Communities Panel, said there was still "insufficient deterrent to gang crime".
In the last two years knife crime in London has increased by 16% while stop and search decreased by 41% in a year.
The riots started after the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan by police.
Officers in Tottenham killed him after stopping the car he was travelling in on suspicion he was on the way to commit a crime.
The riots started in north London but then spread across the country, causing widespread damage. Three people died.
The Riots Victim and Communities Panel recommended the Met improve success rates and satisfaction levels in their use of stop and search.
The government set up a consultation on how police forces carry out that power and in 2014, the then Home Secretary Theresa May overhauled it, saying it was being misused by police forces which damaged relations between the public and police.
Figures at the time showed only about 10% of more than a million searches led to an arrest.
From April 2014 until March 2015, there were 171,504 searches carried out by police officers - a drop of 41% on the previous year which saw 289,187 searches.
Knife crime incidents have risen from 1,336 in January 2014 to 1,660 in June, while gun use rose from 306 to 410, Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime said.
Mr Marcus said: "Hardened repeat offenders often don't spend long in prison and with reduced stop and search the chances of getting caught with a gun or a knife are low.
"Despite improvements in education, too many kids aren't taught basic values or right from wrong, and there are too many absent fathers.
"There is also a fear among the police of being branded racist which hasn't helped cut crime, but has lowered morale."
He added: "We all know there are problems and the fight against racism must never stop but in any community you need a deterrent and stop and search is a deterrent."
Ken Marsh, vice-chairman of the Met Police Federation, agreed.
"There are concerns that we are being constantly branded with a racism ticket that is so out dated," he said.
"We need to address it and change the way people think about this."
On knife crime, he said: "The best thing is for officers to put hands in pockets, to search people.
"If the community know that, they're less likely to carry knives if they think they haven't got impunity."
But Dr Kehinde Andrews, an associate professor in sociology at Birmingham City University and the founder of the Organisation of Black Unity, said stop and search was still a contentious issue and black people were still disproportionately targeted.
"Stop and search in any black community is still something to complain about as it is disproportionate. It is still a huge problem," he said.
"You're not going to stop the problem [of knife crime] as these areas have been hit by austerity extremely hard," he added.
Stafford Scott, co-ordinator of the campaign group Tottenham Rights, agrees.
"Stop and search has been used as a blunt instrument to harass the community," he said, adding that although there had been a significant drop in searches carried out in parts of London, this has not happened in Haringey.
"The issue about stop and search is police have created a matrix, a list of people they say are gang related, and they're the ones they stop and search.
"If knife crime is more, then it means police are focussing on the wrong people and the list isn't helpful and is not working. There's a lack of intelligent intelligence-led policing."
He said it was "absolute rubbish" that officers were concerned about being seen as racist.
"Some are being stopped four to five times in one day and while police are focussing on that person, others feel free and empowered to go about and carry out unlawful acts underneath the eyes of the police," he added.
A Met spokesperson said stop and search remained a "hugely important police power" taking more than 3,000 weapons off the streets in 2015.
In a statement the Met said: "A rise in knife crime cannot be connected to a single reason. We are aware of anecdotal evidence that a rise in knife crime in London is linked to a reduction in the use of stop and search, however a definitive causal link has not been identified at this time."
The arrests are linked to corruption and bribery allegations involving Brazil's construction giant, Odebrecht.
The two men, Ramon Fonseca Mora and Jurgen Mossack, were detained after two days of questioning.
The Mossack Fonseca partners now face charges of money-laundering.
There is information which "allegedly identifies the Panamanian firm as a criminal organisation that is dedicated to hiding assets or money from suspicious origins," said Panama's Attorney General Kenia Porcell, announcing the arrests.
The pair will be held in detention because they are considered a flight risk.
A defence lawyer for the two men described the evidence against them as "weak".
Odebrecht - Latin America's largest construction firm - has admitted to paying $1bn in bribes to obtain in contracts in 12 different countries.
In last April's "Panama Papers" leaks, more than 11 million documents from Mossack Fonseca were released.
They showed how some wealthy people were using offshore firms to evade tax and avoid sanctions.
Mossack Fonseca denied wrongdoing in the case and said it was the victim of a computer hack. It also maintained that the information leaked was being misrepresented.
Mr Fonseca had served as a minister in Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela's government but stepped aside earlier in 2016 after separate allegations linked his law firm to the corruption scandal engulfing the Brazilian state oil company Petrobras. | Timothy Spall has met the family of Ian Paisley to discuss his portrayal of the late Northern Ireland first minister in a new film.

She is one of the therapy animals at San Francisco International Airport and part of the Wag Brigade. The group, who are mostly dogs, wear vests that read "Pet Me!" and roam the terminals helping anxious passengers have a relaxing flight.
Arthritis Research UK has warned the worsening situation across England is particularly affecting the elderly.
Patients needing orthopaedic care, such as knee and hip replacements, face the longest hospital waits in the NHS.
One in six now waits for longer than the 18-week target - the highest of any speciality, official data shows.
A significant minority - about 5% - even wait beyond six months.
Dr Benjamin Ellis, of Arthritis Research UK, said: "More and more NHS hospitals are trying to save money by making people wait for their joint replacement operations.
"This decline in quality of NHS services is condemning large numbers of people to months of unnecessary pain and disability.
"Depriving people of timely treatment, many of them older people, is unfair and risks going back to the days when people waited months and years to receive their new joint."
Orthopaedic treatment is the most common type of non-emergency care carried out by hospitals.
Some 55,000 of the 300,000 patients undergoing elective treatment each month are seen by orthopaedic specialists.
But of those, more than 16% were not seen within 18 weeks in May, the latest month for which figures are available, up from just over 13% last year.
This is despite the fact that under the NHS Constitution, patients have a right to be seen within that time frame.
The situation is twice as bad as that faced by people who need help for eye problems where 8% wait longer than 18 weeks.
For dermatology, less than 3% of patients wait longer than 18 weeks.
It comes after a report published last week by the regulator Monitor predicted a number of foundation trusts - the group of top-performing hospitals in the NHS - would face difficulties keeping waiting times down in the coming year.
Peter Kay, president of the British Orthopaedic Association and a former adviser to the Department of Health, said problems were most acute in orthopaedics because of the ageing population and the fact that the NHS has never properly got on top of the issue.
"We are a victim of our own success really. Hip and knee replacements have such good outcomes and as people are living longer, their joints wear out and they need these operations.
"But even when we were getting waiting lists down we never really tackle the issue. We have relied on temporary theatres, Saturday surgeries and the private sector. The NHS has not expanded enough to create sustainable capacity and with money tight we are seeing things squeezed.
"I am seeing more and more patients coming to me who are on powerful pain-killers like morphine. That should not be happening on such a scale, but they are getting stuck in the system, not getting referred straight away, and waiting longer than they should."
The Department of Health pointed out that some of the longest waits could be because people were choosing to wait beyond 18 weeks for valid personal or medical reasons.
A spokesman said waiting times for orthopaedic care were still "low and stable", while the average wait was 12 weeks.
"This is against a backdrop of rising demand for NHS services, so the low waiting times are a testimony to the hard work of NHS staff."
"This used to be the best hospital, not just in the country, but in all of Latin America. We used to welcome patients from all over the region. And look at it now."
As he walks through the building, Dr Urbina-Medina points to the peeling paintwork, the exposed pipes and electricity cables.
"This isn't what a hospital should be, he says, it looks more like a building site."
Venezuela's economic crisis has hit the country hard and the health care system is crumbling.
As politicians argue over the rights and wrongs of recalling President Nicolas Maduro, doctors and nurses are struggling to cope.
"We don't have enough drugs to treat the sick," explains Dr Urbina-Medina as he points to the empty shelves in the hospital pharmacy.
"Five years ago, we had an average of 200 patients waiting to be operated on. At the last count, there were more than 5,500 names on the waiting list. We have nine operating rooms, but, today, only four are fully functional."
In one of the few wards that can can still be used, a young child lies listless on the bed, his mother by his side. He is called Alejandro and is 11 years old, but he looks half that age.
He has meningitis. His oversized skull bears witness to the tell-tale signs of hydrocephaly. His eyes are gaunt, he is painfully thin.
His body cannot fight the disease. It is weakened by malnutrition. Alejandro has been here for 12 days. His mother does not know how long his ordeal will last, his agony prolonged by the shortages of medicine.
But doctors are doing all they can to keep him comfortable.
"Venezuela has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in the world," says Maritza Landaeta of the Fundacion Bengoa, an NGO which works in poor communities affected by malnutrition.
"Many babies have a high chance of dying.
"Young mothers can't find the powdered milk and basic nutrients needed to guarantee their children's wellbeing. The shops are empty. Instead of milk, children are being fed with the water used for cooking potatoes or rice. We're now seeing an increasing number of children showing symptoms of starvation," says Ms Landaeta.
She has worked in this field for close to 40 years. She is a trained paediatrician and she's never seen a situation as bad as this before.
So who is to blame? She points a finger at the government, accused of taking measures to control the production, the distribution and the access to food.
"It isn't working," she says, "funds are going missing, there are food shortages, the authorities aren't doing their job.
"The state has to understand that this is a nutrition emergency."
Asked if children are dying because of political mismanagement and corruption, Maritza Landaeta sighs wearily and, with an air of resignation, says: "Yes."
In the heart of Caracas, behind high walls and a locked gate and almost hidden from view, there is a place of refuge for young Venezuelans hoping to escape poverty.
The Casa Don Bosco foster home is one of 86 such institutions across the country. It welcomes about 30 children, mostly adolescents.
"More and more children being put in foster homes because their families simply can't cope," says its director, Leonardo Rodriguez Angola, who holds up an official document.
"This is a request for us to take in three brothers, aged 13, 11 and eight. They live in poverty. Their mother has four other children."
Mr Rodriguez has been pleading with the government to get more help, but his appeals have fallen on deaf ears. "When we petition the authorities, they just laugh at us," he explains.
"Three years ago, the government created a new ministry of supreme social happiness. I thought that minister would help us. But when we went to ask for money to buy food, she replied that we had to ration what we had, adding: 'The whole country is on a diet.' The government wants to make the issue of poverty and hunger 'invisible'."
At the Jose Manuel de Los Rios children's hospital, Dr Urbina-Medina is continuing his rounds.
He comes across a room piled high with beds and monitors. Nothing works. Laughing, he says: "We call this our cemetery for medical equipment."
He's putting on a brave face, but he knows that the situation is desperate.
Huniades Urbina-Medina is four years away from retirement, he has received offers to work at other hospitals abroad.
Has he never been tempted to leave?
His answer is emphatic: "I want to stay here, our patients need our help. Life is tough, but I won't give up!"
They hacked into the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) database, and began revealing athletes' confidential details on 13 September.
The records mostly detail therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs), which allow athletes to take banned substances for verified medical needs.
US Olympic stars were targeted in the first hack, including tennis champions Venus and Serena Williams, gymnast Simone Biles and basketball player Elena Delle Donne.
The chain of politically-motivated attacks from Russia on Western electronic systems dates back to the mid-2000s. The hackers responsible compete with each other, sometimes repeating the same attacks.
Dmitri Alperovitch, chief technical director of cyber security company CrowdStrike, said: "We've seen how two Russian espionage groups hack the same systems to steal the same data. Western secret services don't usually do this, as they are anxious not to harm each other's operations."
Cyber security specialists also know Fancy Bear by other names - CozyDuke, Sofacy, Pawn Storm, APT 28, Sednit and Tsar Team.
In July Mr Alperovitch accused Fancy Bear of hacking the computer networks of the American Democratic National Committee (DNC), although publicly a previously unknown hacker called Guccifer 2.0 had claimed the hack.
"We have a lot of experience of fighting these groups," Mr Alperovitch wrote. "They are some of our most powerful enemies among all the many government and criminal activists and terrorist hacker groups we encounter on a daily basis. They have excellent devices and their operational security is second to none."
He believes the group's actions, like a hack on the German parliament (Bundestag) network, or publishing Islamist propaganda on France's TV5Monde news website, fit in with the Kremlin's strategy.
Mr Alperovitch thinks Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) and Russian Military Intelligence (formerly the GRU) compete with each other where their areas of responsibility overlap in cyber warfare.
In the attack on the DNC's systems CrowdStrike did not find any evidence of co-operation between Fancy Bear and another suspected Russian group - Cozy Bear.
Cyber security companies Fidelis Cybersecurity, SecureWorks, ThreatConnect and others have all, like CrowdStrike, reported links between Fancy Bear, Cozy Bear and the Russian secret services.
But Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov declared that Moscow was ready to help Wada fight hacking if requested to do so.
The line between criminal hackers and political activist hackers is fuzzier in Russia than in the West.
Links between Russian hackers and security services were first mentioned in 2007 when the websites of the Estonian government and governing Reform Party were deliberately crashed, during a row over the removal of a bronze statue of a Soviet Red Army soldier from a square in Tallinn.
On 20 July 2008, about two weeks before Russia's military intervention in South Ossetia, former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili's site went down for 24 hours.
During the brief August war a collage of photos of Mr Saakashvili and Adolf Hitler appeared on the site.
Cyber security analyst Jart Armin noticed that the servers used for the cyber attack on Georgia were connected to a group of St Petersburg hackers going by the strange name "Rossiiskaya Biznes Set" (Russian Business Network). In 2000 that group was infamous for cybercrime, spamming, spreading viruses, child pornography and phishing emails.
Not all Russian hackers choose targets outside the country. Anonymous International was infamous for publishing Russian government documents and private correspondence between Russian officials, businessmen and politicians.
Some hackers focus on crime. In June 2016 the FSB and Russian interior ministry stopped a group of 50 hackers suspected of stealing nearly 1.7bn roubles ($26m; £20m) from Russian banks.
Experience shows groups involved in crime who do not co-operate with Russia's special services are at great risk of punishment, especially if they fail to keep physically distant from their target countries.
In April 2016, a former resident of Tver, Alexander Panin, was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years in prison in the US for creating the SpyEye virus which infected 50 million computers.
His Algerian accomplice, Hamza Bendelladj, was sentenced to 15 years. Using a Trojan virus, they managed to steal $3.2m in six months.
Panin ended up in court in July 2013 when he flew to see a friend in the Dominican Republic. After his arrest he was quickly extradited to the US.
In late 2015 Alexei Burkov from St Petersburg was detained in Israel after an arrest warrant was issued by Interpol. He was suspected of hacking into payment systems and stealing several million dollars from US citizens' credit cards.
On the other hand, Yevgeny Bogachev is officially wanted by the FBI for creating a botnet - a computer zombie network - called GOZ, and causing $100m worth of damage, according to the Telegraph.
Yet he lives in an apartment in the Black Sea resort of Anapa, drives an old Volvo with a sticker saying "computer repairs" and occasionally goes sailing on a yacht. His neighbours admire him for his "achievements" and the Russian authorities have no intention of handing him over.
The four countries reckoned to have the most cyber criminals are the US, Russia, China and India. Hackers in Iran and North Korea have also made their mark internationally.
A survey at an international conference on cybersecurity in 2014 by the British company MWR InfoSecurity showed that 34% considered Russian hackers the most powerful in the world, while 18% rated Chinese hackers as the most powerful.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has claimed victory in the vote, which looks set to grant him sweeping new powers.
This is what the major political figures are saying about the initial results on Sunday evening.
President Erdogan has claimed victory during a speech in Istanbul.
"This constitutional change today is not just an ordinary or simple change. This is the first time in Turkish history that the Turkish people have cast their votes on such an important constitutional change.
"In the past it was the parliament who actually decided whether to make any constitutional changes but today, for the first time, the will of the people has shown through this referendum and this is the first time in our history and very important
He also said voters abroad were a big part of the success.
"We would like other countries and institutions to show respect to the decision of the nation."
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim, who led the Yes campaign alongside Mr Erdogan, said: "This referendum once again has proven the level of maturity and the improvement of Turkish democracy to the rest of the world. We are all first-class citizens of our country and we are all equal."
He addressed supporters from the balcony at the Justice and Development Party (AKP) headquarters in Ankara.
"Our people made their decision and our people said yes to the presidential government system in this country and this nation will never face any guardianship, this nation will never face any external intervention and we will not give in to any threats. And we have shown this once again as a nation."
The main opposition, the Republican People's Party (CHP), has called for a recount.
Deputy leader Bulent Tezcan denounced "violations" in the electoral process. "We will pursue a legal battle. If the irregularities are not fixed, there will be a serious legitimacy discussion," he said.
The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), which has had two of its leaders imprisoned under President Erdogan, said the result would not be legitimate until an appeal was finalised.
"Our co-chairs being jailed, the referendum being held under a state of emergency, and other oppressive measures cast a shadow and legitimacy problem over the vote," HDP spokesman Osman Baydemir told reporters.
The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) opposition party had internal fights over the referendum and expelled a rebel member, Meral Aksener, who became a leading "No" campaigner.
Leader Devlet Bahceli, who led the party's push for "Yes", said the result was an "undeniably successful achievement" and should be respected, according to Reuters news agency.
Ms Aksener is disputing the result.
East Dunbartonshire Council wanted to change the Catherine Street junction in Kirkintilloch and remove traffic lights, barriers, kerbs and crossings.
This "shared space" plan, where traffic and pedestrians share right of way, is aimed at improving safety.
Following protests from local people, controlled crossing are to be kept.
Council leader Rhondda said: "We recognise and accept that there have been a range of views and a number of concerns expressed by members of the community and groups over the past few months.
"We want to reassure people that we have listened and that work has been ongoing to address those anxieties - to reach a compromise that will help achieve the goals of the master plan while also addressing the legitimate concerns of our citizens.
"We feel the amended proposals recognise and address those concerns - ensuring controlled crossings remain in place for anyone requiring additional reassurance in using the reshaped junction - allowing a period of awareness-raising and education to take place with the wider community."
Mugford, a summer signing from Nottingham, was called up for his first start at fly-half because AJ MacGinty pulled out with a hamstring injury.
His three penalties gave the Sharks a 9-7 lead at half-time, with Chris Robshaw's try keeping Quins in touch.
David Seymour's score secured victory, before Mat Luamanu saw red late on for a no-arms tackle on Josh Beaumont.
Despite some late pressure, Quins were unable to grab a losing bonus point from a bruising encounter and fell to their first defeat of the campaign.
Three other players were shown yellow cards - Sale's Jonathan Mills and Harlequins' front-row pair of Owen Jones and Kyle Sinckler - with Seymour crossing for Sale's only try of the match while Jones was off the field.
The game was held up for several minutes in the early stages while Sharks back-row TJ Ioane was treated for a head injury and eventually carried off on a stretcher, while Beaumont was also forced off in the aftermath of the dreadful Luamanu tackle which left visitors Quins a player short for the final nine minutes.
Quins and England prop Joe Marler was another injury casualty, lasting less than 20 minutes.
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond:
"I thought Dan Mugford had an outstanding game, moving up a level. Young Paolo Odogwu on the wing also showed some flashes of potential.
"We managed to get the win and deny them the bonus point. We learned last year how important that was if you want to get in the top four.
"Dan played really well last week if I'm honest. He missed a kick under great pressure to win us the game, but we've encouraged him all week.
"He didn't lose us the game, but that kick cost us the game. But today it was five from five, and his distribution was good."
Harlequins director of rugby John Kingston:
"We managed, in a 10 or 15-minute period, to lose all the momentum we had built at the end of the first half by allowing them three successive penalties which led to them scoring from a maul and getting 16-7 ahead.
"That becomes very problematic, and what made it worse was we had a player in the bin as well.
"From that moment on, we barely had a period of time with 15 players on the park. We effectively played the last 32 minutes with a man down, and that's pretty difficult."
Sale: McGuigan; Addison, James, Leota, Odogwu; Mugford, Phillips; Lewis-Roberts, Briggs, Aulika, Evans, Mills, Ioane, Seymour, Beaumont (capt).
Replacements: Neild, Harrison, Longbottom, Ostrikov, Pearce, Mitchell, Bedlow, Edwards.
Harlequins: R Chisholm; Yarde, Marchant, Roberts, Visser; Evans, Care (capt); Marler, Buchanan, Sinckler, Twomey, Horwill, Robshaw, Wallace, Clifford.
Replacements: Ward, Evans, Collier, J Chisholm, Luamanu, Dickson, Jackson, Stanley.
The England Under-21 defender, 23, impressed towards the end of 2016-17 as he helped the Swans survive in the Premier League.
"I'm very grounded and very level-headed when it comes to that," he said.
"It's all speculation. It's nice to hear, but I'm a Swansea player and I'm more than happy here."
Mawson joined the Welsh club in August 2016 from Barnsley on a four-year deal and along with his team-mates endured a torrid season before they secured survival under Paul Clement, their third manager of last season.
"I love it here. I want to kick on and do great things at this club," said Mawson.
"There's always talk and there's loads of speculation, but I'm happy to be here under the gaffer.
"So it's onwards and upwards at this club."
Mawson is also looking forward to playing alongside summer loan signing from Chelsea Tammy Abraham, a team-mate as England reached the 2017 European Under-21 Championship semi-final in June.
"He's a class player. He's got this thing about him that people see from the outside that he's going to be a target man," Mawson said.
"But that's not really his game. He's got that in him, but he's very technical and very tactical.
"He knows what he's doing. He's a young lad, 19, but he knows his way about the pitch.
"He's got a lot of nous about him. He knows the little tricks to annoy centre-halves and defenders and he's just got a lovely habit for nicking a goal.
"People can think he's not doing too much in a game and then bang, he'll go and score and it doesn't matter then because at the end of the day strikers are paid to score.
"He'll be a vibrant soul in the changing room, especially, and I think the fans are really going to take to him and he's going to work hard for us."
None of the academics themselves thought that the mere act of heading a normal football a number of times, at a normal speed, as if in a normal situation, would give rise to an immediate reduction in brain function, and the onset memory loss, in the brains of two thirds of the participants tested.
Disturbingly the symptoms took 24 hours to clear. The question that popped into my head was: what if someone does this every day? Do they live a life in a permanently sub concussive state? How does this affect them in older life? What about youngsters whose brains are more prone to damage?
Oh we know about concussions, but we thought the days of heading an old, sodden, leather football were gone. We know about elbows and head knocks, and we know about footballers and rugby players with early onset dementia.
But we didn't know that just heading a ball caused so much damage to the brain.
As I looked on slightly alarmed, a student footballer sat strapped to a chair in the shiny white laboratory of the Cottrell building on the leafy Stirling university campus. Outside the trees tried to discard their summer green for the stunning autumn gold, but the subject's face clung on to the olive tones of someone more than slightly nervous.
Wires led from his body to a machine measuring his brain's ability to react to a stimulus and transfer it to his leg muscles. To my left was a wavy line on a screen that couldn't lie.
The test was a mock-up for our filming, but the source signals going through his brain and to the machine were real and each one came with a crack, a two-eyed blink, a violent contraction of his quadricep, and a tell-tale jump in the trace signal on that all knowing screen.
Putting students through this before and after headers demonstrated the immediate effects I mentioned earlier.
I played rugby, I have a son who plays rugby, and a daughter who plays international football. I hope beyond hope that this test doesn't mean I have been a fool to encourage both of them into sport.
But this, of all the research I have seen, is the piece of work that alarms me the most.
More and more research is pointing to the fact that the bit of my body I was least worried about hurting by taking up sport - my brain - might just have been the most vulnerable after all.
And after this, many footballers young and old will be thinking the same.
More research is needed to assess whether this is temporary, and the effects on youngsters.
The Historical Institutional Abuse (HIA) Inquiry is examining allegations of abuse at Rubane House, Kircubbin.
The inquiry estimates that 200 of Rubane's 1,050 former residents have made allegations of serious sexual or physical abuse.
A total of 13 Northern Ireland institutions are being investigated.
The Kircubbin home was run by the De La Salle religious order, which has already accepted some children were abused.
A lawyer acting for the inquiry said more than 200 children had claimed they were abused at Rubane House, which was open from 1950 to 1985.
A total of 55 former residents have come forward to the inquiry to allege that they were physically or sexually abused.
Their public testimony will begin next week.
Other documentation, including police reports, suggest that a further 150 boys also made allegations of abuse in the past, but have not contacted the inquiry.
The sex abuse allegations ranged from watching children in the shower to rape, while physical abuse ranged from corporal punishment to serious assault.
The inquiry has heard that the paedophile priest, Fr Brendan Smyth, was among the offenders.
Some children also alleged that they were sexually abused by older boys in the home.
The lawyer added that in 1997, a senior police officer, Det Ch Supt Eric Anderson described the sexual abuse of children at Rubane House as "rampant" and likened the scale of the abuse at Rubane House to that of Kincora Boys Home in east Belfast.
Kincora Boys Home was the subject of a high-profile child abuse scandal in the 1980s.
Three senior care staff at Kincora were jailed in 1981 for abusing 11 boys in their care.
In 1997, Mr Anderson wrote to the director of public prosecutions about the Rubane House allegations: "I consider the complaints made to show it to be on a par with, if not worse than, the abuse at the Kincora children's home.
"Sexual abuse by a considerable number of the De La Salle brothers on the children, and consequently between children was rampant."
The HIA inquiry was set up in 2013 to investigate child abuse in residential institutions in Northern Ireland over a 73-year period, up to 1995.
The Rubane House allegations form the third module of its public hearings.
It had previously been examining what happened to children sent from Northern Ireland to institutions in Australia.
Wooching played rugby union in high school, but was a linebacker for the University of Washington's American football team in college.
The 23-year-old opted against entering the NFL Draft this year, despite being touted as a possible late-round pick.
He has played for the Seattle Saracens rugby team since leaving college, and also had a trial with Top 14 side Pau.
"This will be a great opportunity and experience for Psalm to continue his pathway into rugby from American football," Harlequins academy and global development director Tony Diprose said.
"It also provides Harlequins with the opportunity to have a good look at him in a high-quality international tournament such as this one.
"This will also give him the chance to see how an elite professional rugby team operates."
The World Club 10s tournament takes place in Mauritius from 17-18 June, with eight teams competing.
Daniel Foss, 37, from Reynoldston, Gower, was struck by a National Express bus on The Kingsway in September 2013.
Acting senior Swansea coroner Colin Phillips ordered Swansea council to provide safety reports on The Kingsway at a pre-inquest hearing on Thursday.
A full inquest is due to be heard at the end of July.
Sgt Louise Lucas, 41, a mother-of-three and an off-duty police officer, died after she was hit by a bus on The Kingsway on 31 March.
Her death triggered a series of changes on the city centre road, with added safety barriers installed and east-bound traffic suspended.
The coroner asked bus company, First Cymru, to provide a statement relating to about 100 traffic "incidents" on the Kingsway since 2008.
Mr Phillips said the metro system seemed "counterintuitive" but added the outcome of safety audits would be required before he made any formal finding.
It was called for by Labour's shadow business secretary Angela Eagle, who complained the government had refused to recall Parliament from its Easter break to discuss the issue.
Tata Steel has begun the formal process of selling its loss-making UK plants, putting thousands of jobs.
However, a buyer has been found for its Scunthorpe plant.
The future of the larger Port Talbot is still in doubt, although at least one potential buyer has expressed an interest.
The government has resisted calls from unions and opposition politicians to nationalise the Port Talbot plant, Britain's biggest steelworks.
The steel industry says it has been hit by a combination of factors - high UK energy prices, the extra cost of climate change policies and cheap imports from China.
On Monday, Business Secretary Sajid Javid told the Commons the government was working very hard to find a buyer for Port Talbot.
Among options being considered was "the possibility of co-investing with a buyer on commercial terms", he said.
Tony Burke, assistant general secretary of Unite, said the union would be holding Mr Javid to his commitment to co-invest if necessary.
"The penny appears to have dropped that there should be an active government supporting steel and manufacturing as the best best hope of securing the future of the industry," he said.

Tata's Long Products Europe business, which includes the Scunthorpe plant, was sold to investment firm Greybull Capital for a token £1 or €1. The move will safeguard 4,400 UK jobs, but workers are being asked to accept a pay cut and less generous pension arrangements.
The business will be rebranded as British Steel once the deal is completed in eight weeks, the company said.
Ms Eagle used a Parliamentary procedure - Standing Order 24 - to ask for an urgent debate.
Commons Speaker John Bercow accepted the application and because Ms Eagle had the support of enough MPs, including some Conservatives, Tuesday's Parliamentary business has been changed to accommodate the debate.

The 32-year-old came from behind to claim a gripping 9-11 11-6 5-11 12-10 11-5 victory.
The match was in the balance with a tie-break in the fourth game, but Massaro held her nerve to take it to the fifth.
World champion in 2013 and runner-up this year, Massaro was comfortable in the deciding game to take the title.
"At the beginning of the fifth game I told myself that it's one more game, and then it's the end of the season, with a big prize at the end of it, so just go for it," she said.
"It was the right approach because I was as relaxed as I have ever been for that game, and I think I hit my targets and made the right choices."
France's world champion Gregory Gaultier beat Australia's Cameron Pilley 11-4 11-5 8-11 11-6 to regain the men's title after a seven-year interval.
The project directors insist confidence remains high the deadline will be met.
Plans are already under way for a series of events which will give the public access to the £1.4bn crossing before it opens to traffic.
The crossing was ordered by ministers because of cable corrosion on the main suspension of the Forth Road Bridge.
About 1,300 workers are now employed on the project which is scheduled to be completed by December 2016.
Michael Martin, project director for the construction joint venture, said: "I believe we can get traffic over the bridge by the end of the year. It's not a guarantee as it will depend on the weather but I believe it is possible.
"I believe I've got a team of people here who are capable of doing that and who are committed to achieving that if it is possible.
"We programme optimistically and then we face the conditions that arrive.
"When we simply can't do anything we have to accept it's not possible but we don't accept that willingly."
David Climie, the project director for Transport Scotland, said: "We are on target for the end of 2016 to have traffic on the new crossing providing we get average weather."
Tom Crawford has been in a dispute with Bradford & Bingley, who claim he owes £43,000 in mortgage payments.
Hundreds of supporters gathered outside Nottingham County Court, where Judge Nigel Godsmark was due to rule on an appeal against an earlier decision.
But he reserved his judgement after suspending the hearing twice.
Judge Godsmark said commotion outside the court meant proceedings could not continue.
"What is happening out there is an attempt to disrupt the process," he told the court.
He said he refused to conclude "if there's the risk of serious public disorder."
The wrangle between Mr Crawford and Bradford & Bingley began in 2012.
Mr Crawford, who has been treated for cancer, claims he has paid off the endowment mortgage he took out in 1988 and the terms of his mortgage were changed without his knowledge.
Last year, a court ruled in favour of a debt recovery firm which took on the outstanding balance, and Mr Crawford was told to pay or lose his home.
Support for Mr Crawford came from across the country after a Facebook group was set up.
In January, more than 250 people blocked bailiffs from evicting him and wife Sue from their home.
Mr Crawford, of Fearn Chase, Nottingham said the public support he had received over his eviction appeal had been "fantastic".
"If it wasn't for these people, they would have taken our home," said the 64-year-old.
"This support is what everyone should get. There's a lot of homes taken from people who don't owe any money and they are railroaded by the banks."
As proceedings resumed, Nicole Sandells, for Bradford & Bingley said: "This is not a case where the bank is asked to turn it into a repayment mortgage and has failed to do so.
"The bank offered to amend this to repayment if requested and that was not accepted."
Ms Sandells said permission for an appeal against the eviction order should not be granted and the repossession could still go ahead.
Amy Winehouse: In Her Own Words has been pieced together from interviews and sessions the singer recorded for the BBC before her death in 2011.
It includes live performances of Love Is A Losing Game and Wake Up Alone which were never broadcast.
The release precedes a documentary film about the star's life.
Entitled Amy it is directed by Asif Kapadia, whose last movie was an acclaimed biopic of Ayrton Senna.
Kapadia conducted more than 100 interviews with 80 people - including friends, family and colleagues of the star, although her father, Mitch Winehouse, has since distanced himself from the film.
BBC Music's companion programme focuses exclusively on interviews and sessions by the London-born star.
She is seen discussing her musical influences, her aspirations and the intensely personal nature of her lyrics.
"I've been through times where I've been so [messed] up that I've had to just write everything down - even feelings I don't want to acknowledge.
"It's good, because someone else might hear that and be like 'I'm not an idiot for feeling them things.'"
She also talks about her tempestuous relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil, which inspired much of the Grammy Award-winning album Back To Black.
"I fell bang in love with someone and it didn't do me any favours," she says. "When I split up with this fella, I didn't have anything to go back to. I wasn't working, so I was playing pool for four hours every day, getting drunk, having to be carried home in a wheelbarrow. So Back To Black is about a black mood, I guess."
The quotes, many of which are also being seen for the first time, are drawn from interviews Winehouse gave to the BBC for documentary projects including the Jazz and Soul Britannia series on BBC Four.
Performances have been drawn from The BBC One Sessions (2007), Glastonbury (2004 and 2008), The Mercury Music Prize (2004), Later... with Jools Holland (2006) and The Hootenanny (2006).
Winehouse died at her London home in 2011 at the age of 27.
She had previously struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. The inquest into her death found she died of accidental alcohol poisoning.
Amy Winehouse: In Her Own Words is available now on the BBC iPlayer.
The deal includes a 100MW development at the Ness of Duncansby in the Pentland Firth and a 10MW project at the Sound of Islay in western Scotland.
The projects were acquired by Atlantis's development vehicle, Tidal Power Scotland Limited (TPSL).
In exchange, SPR has gained a 6% shareholding in TPSL.
The project assets include lease agreements with The Crown Estate for both sites, while the Sound of Islay development also has a grid connection offer and construction consents from Scottish ministers.
Atlantis said the two projects would sit alongside its flagship 398MW MeyGen tidal energy scheme in the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth, which separates the north Caithness coast and Orkney.
The firm eventually plans to have up to 269 turbines installed on the seabed there.
Earlier this year, Atlantis bought Marine Current Turbines from Siemens AG, providing it with lease agreements for two further Scottish tidal sites - at the Mull of Galloway in south-west Scotland and Brough Ness, to the north of the MeyGen and Ness of Duncansby sites.
Atlantis is in the process of adding these two projects, with a combined capacity of 130MW, to the TPSL portfolio.
By 2022, the company aims to have at least 640MW of installed capacity in the UK through developing its existing portfolio.
Atlantis chief executive Tim Cornelius said: "The UK is now synonymous with tidal power in the same way tech is with Silicon Valley.
"Thanks to the dedicated support provided by the Department for Energy and Climate Change and the Scottish government, the UK tidal sector is leading the world.
"In a transformational 12 months, we have increased our UK projects portfolio by almost 80% in terms of potential capacity, through the acquisition of Marine Current Turbines from Siemens, and this transaction with SPR."
ScottishPower Renewables chief executive Keith Anderson said: "The MeyGen project has moved the tidal power sector forward in Scotland and Atlantis is now the world's leading developer.
"This agreement will drive momentum in the sector."
In a separate development, Orkney-based Scotrenewables Tidal Power Ltd announced it had secured a further £5.7m from investors to allow it to demonstrate the world's largest tidal turbine.
The company is close to completing the construction of its SR2000 (2MW) system in the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast.
The machine is due to be launched early next year before being towed to the European Marine Energy Centre in Orkney to commence grid-connected testing.
The latest funding was provided by existing shareholders - including ABB, Total New Energies, Bonheur ASA and Ganger Rolf ASA - as well as new stakeholders DP Energy, Harland and Wolff and Scotmarine.
While the UK voted for Brexit, 74.4% of those who cast their ballots in the Scottish capital were in favour of remaining.
Driving through the capital, making stops along the way to talk to people, there were no visible signs in the streets or in gardens of how people felt about the vote.
There were no flags, banners or groups of kilted men as there had been in the hours after the Scottish referendum result in 2014.
However, everyone wanted to talk about the referendum result.
Alice Cook, 41, a teacher who lives in Portobello, said she was "worried and scared" by the result.
"This is a disaster. I am devastated. I am astounded by the English," she said.
"I am happy with Scotland's vote but I'm embarrassed to be English and I'm glad I moved to Scotland to be with like-minded people.
"This is probably the most stupid thing that will ever happen in my lifetime.
"Isolating ourselves is ridiculous. I have a new Danish boyfriend who was planning to move here but I don't know what this means for him now."
BBC Scotland took to the streets of towns and cities across the country to find out what people feel about the decision to leave the EU.
Some mothers in Morningside said they were up at 05:00 so they could find out the result.
Amelia Baptie, 36, a mother of twins, said she was "heartbroken and devastated" by the result, as were most of the parents she spoke to in the playground.
She said: "I think if it was about hope on the Leave side then some good could come out of it, but it was about hatred.
"I am upset and worried. I don't know what has happened to England. They have gone so much to the right and Scotland is being pulled along.
"My parents live in France and they are very worried now if they can stay, and about their income."
Beryl Borrowman, 72, a grandmother-of-four, said: "I voted for Europe to join the EU but it is not the Europe that I voted for.
"However, I voted to Remain and so feel slightly shocked and a bit sad."
Logan Turner, 27, a recovery worker from Colinton Mains in Edinburgh, said he was "very worried" about his German mother.
He said: "My mother has lived in Scotland for at least 35 years but was told she had to choose which passport she kept. So she chose her German one as she wanted to retain her heritage.
"Now after this vote she will not be entitled to any benefits from the government here. However, if my parents move to Germany then my dad will lose his pension from here, so they are in a Catch 22 situation."
Linda Napier, 37, from Colinton Mains, said: "I'm shocked as I didn't think the vote would be to leave.
"Scotland is always in England's back shadow.
"I'm scared because when we leave there is no going back and it's the next generation that will take the brunt."
The small plastic bags, containing rum, vodka or other spirits, are popular with those on a budget - costing between $0.35 (£0.28) and $1.65.
The ban was aimed at minimising the impact of alcohol on young people, especially students, government spokesman Bruno Kone said.
A ban on the sale of water in plastic bags led to protests two years ago.
They were banned by the Ivorian authorities in a bid to reduce pollution.
The decision to ban the sachets of alcohol was taken after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday and had been proposed by the ministry of commerce, Mr Kone said.
"These products are mostly smuggled into the country," the APA news agency quotes him as saying.
"They do not meet our standards and therefore constitute a real threat to the health of consumers - and a threat to the country's economy."
Cameroon, Malawi and Senegal have also banned the sale and production of alcohol in sachets in recent years.
In its ever-escalating war against connectivity ports, Apple’s latest computers do away with the SD card port, a full-size USB port, and the HDMI port.
Instead, you’ll need a dongle to convert those “legacy” connectors, as Apple put it on Friday, into the new, smaller USB-C port.
"We recognize that many users, especially pros, rely on legacy connectors to get work done today and they face a transition,” the company said in a statement, without acknowledging that Apple’s newest iPhone, released just last month, is one such “legacy” device - without a dongle (or a different cable, sold separately), you can’t connect Apple’s new smartphone to Apple’s new laptop.
“We want to help them move to the latest technology and peripherals, as well as accelerate the growth of this new ecosystem."
That help will be a decent discount on the price of the dongles - it calls them adapters - until the end of this year.
The most popular one is likely to be the USB to USB-C adapter - which will be $9, down from $19. For connecting iPhones (both new and old), you’ll need a $19 Lightning to USB dongle - although you could use an old Lightning to USB cable if you bought the USB to USB-C adapter. Keeping up?
Dongle spaghetti
It’s an acknowledgement that Apple’s pro users aren’t exactly thrilled with the latest offering from the company considered to offer the gold standard in laptops.
The bigger issue here, and one that was expertly discussed in a Medium post by technology journalist Owen Williams, is what many see as a muddle at the heart of Apple’s newest products.
For a company that rightly prides itself on creating products that “just work”, it’s literally descended into something of a tangled mess.
Apple has, Mr Williams argued, created computers that lack a core selling point. For pro users, the types that use their Macs for graphic design and video editing, the new range only serves to take away functionality existing Macbooks provide.
If you’re not a pro user, that’s fine. But along with Apple’s announcement of new hardware came the news that the prices were going up. Dramatically so, if you’re living in Brexit Britain. (Though Apple certainly isn’t alone there. Marmite, anyone?)
Those factors combined mean the dongle issue, one Apple might have got away with in the past, has caused added frustration to the faithful who had been waiting for a serious Macbook upgrade for some time.
Dongles get lost, forgotten and broken. They’re an added source of vulnerability when it comes to things accidentally being pulled out when uploading some data, corrupting the lot.
The Macbook future, at least for a short while, is a rag-tag spaghetti junction of dongles strewn across a desk or stuffed into a bag. In offices around the world, inboxes will fill with passive aggressive requests for “whoever took my iPhone dongle” to “please put it back where you found it, no questions asked”.
And when something doesn’t work, you’ll now need to ascertain: is it the device that’s broken? Or the cable? Or the port? Or the dongle?
But hold up. Apple has form here, and history mostly proves them right. Where Apple goes, others normally follow.
Earlier Macbook models already did away with ethernet ports and the CD/DVD drive - a move which seemed absurd at the time, but I’d argue Apple was ultimately exonerated. When was the last time you put a CD into your computer?
So in time, the accessories we use every day will become USB-C as standard, no question about that, and the dongles will no longer be needed.
But in the short term, Apple is left with a product that that no longer caters to either end of the market. Data suggests schools, parents and bosses are looking to Google’s cheaper Chromebooks, which this year began outselling MacBooks.
And if we’re looking at MacBooks as being as part of the bigger Apple planet, we’re left with a company that appears to be behind in many areas. Its iPhone is still king, but sales have been in decline.
Apple doesn’t have any virtual reality hardware. It doesn’t have any augmented reality hardware. Or a car - autonomous, electric or otherwise. In artificial intelligence, Apple's Siri is considered to be the least smart of the mainstream smart assistants, and unlike Google and Amazon, it can’t yet be found in a family-friendly home device.
Tim Cook appears to be throwing money at the problem(s). Spending on research and development has ballooned in the past three years, though Mr Cook is staying typically mum about what exactly the company is working on - only to tell worried investors that his company has the "strongest pipeline that we've ever had and we're really confident about the things in it”.
Only an idiot would write off Apple and its future. I don’t intend to be that idiot. Apple wasn’t the first to market with the smartphone, not even close, but it went on to define the industry and produce the most profitable piece of technology ever made. It could do that again and again in these new areas.
As the world’s richest company, it has time and resources on its side. But with that in mind, couldn’t it afford to pop a dongle or two in the box to make its present-day customers a little happier?

The 2012 Olympic champion, 30, will meet an opponent yet to be named on the David Haye v Tony Bellew undercard.
Taylor, who stopped Karina Kopinska on debut in November and out-pointed Viviane Obenauf two weeks later, is currently training in America.
She said: "It's the start of a very big year for me and there are big plans but I need to keep winning and performing."
Taylor, who won world championship gold on five occasions, added: "I think people are really excited about the Haye-Bellew fight and the rivalry between those guys and as a boxer these are the kind of nights you want to be a part of.
"It's a massive stage for me and I'm really looking forward to it."
WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew, 34, will step up in weight to meet former world champion Haye at heavyweight, with both fighters consistently goading one another on social media during the build-up to the bout.
Also on the undercard, Sam Eggington faces a step-up in class against former two-weight world champion Paulie Malignaggi, while Liverpool's Derry Mathews challenges WBC silver champion Ohara Davies at lightweight.
Since then the tide of opinion has turned. Astronomers have shown that Earth may be just one of myriad habitable worlds.
Meanwhile biologists have shed light on how life might have originated here, and therefore on other planets too.
Far from being unique, many now regard Earth as an ordinary lump of space rock and believe that life "out there" is almost inevitable. But could the truth be somewhat more complex?
On Friday, top scientists are meeting at the Geological Society in London to debate this very issue, posing the question: "Is the Earth special?". What emerges is that aspects of our planet and its evolution are remarkably strange.
Prof Monica Grady is a meteorite expert at the Open University. She explained in what sense the Earth could be considered special.
"Well, there are several unusual aspects of our planet," she said. "First is our strong magnetic field. No one is exactly sure how it works, but it's something to do with the turbulent motion that occurs in the Earth's liquid outer core. Without it, we would be bombarded by harmful radiation from the Sun."
"The next thing is our big Moon," continued Prof Grady. "As the Earth rotates, it wobbles on its axis like a child's spinning top. What the Moon does is dampen down that wobble… and that helps to prevent extreme climate fluctuations" - which would be detrimental to life.
"Finally, there's plate tectonics," she added. "We live on a planet that is constantly recycling its crust. That's another way that the Earth stabilises its climate." This works because plate tectonics limits the amount of carbon dioxide escaping into the atmosphere - a natural way of controlling the greenhouse effect.
If these factors were important for life flourishing on Earth, an obvious question is what went wrong for our moribund neighbours, Venus and Mars?
One popular explanation is the Goldilocks Effect. This states that Venus was simply too close to the Sun and overheated while Mars was too far away and froze. Between these extremes - like the baby bear's porridge - Earth was "just right" for life.
Indeed, just this week astronomers confirmed the discovery of an Earth-like planet in this "habitable zone" around a star not unlike our own.
Dr Richard Ghail, an expert on Venus at Imperial College London, is highly sceptical of this Goldilocks theory, however.
"For me, the key thing is that Venus has a lower density than the Earth," he told the BBC. "That difference was fixed early on in the formation of the Solar System when there were lots of planetary collisions." In the case of Venus, collisions led to accretion into a single planet, but with Earth, the lighter material was flung off to form the Moon.
One effect of Venus's lower density is that its interior melts more easily. So, whereas the Earth has a swirling core that is part solid and part liquid, the core of Venus is entirely liquid - and strangely calm.
In Dr Ghail's opinion, this has led to a spiral of doom for Venus. Without a turbulent core, no magnetic field was generated. And no magnetic field meant that Venus was mercilessly battered by solar radiation, causing it to lose all its water.
Because water is needed to "lubricate" plate tectonics, the crust stopped recycling. Consequently, carbon dioxide built up in the atmosphere and the greenhouse effect ran out of control. As a result, today, Venus is a lifeless inferno whose surface is hot enough to melt zinc.
Dr Ghail said: "When you think about it, there was this one amazing chance event [a collision that flung off the Moon] that made the Earth the way it is." If that had not happened, life on Earth might not have evolved at all.
Given that Earth's history was shaped by a single improbable event, one might be tempted to assume that life elsewhere must be extremely rare.
Wrong, argues Dr Nick Lane, a geneticist at University College London. He believes that the emergence of life is probable on any wet, rocky planet.
Dr Lane explained the reasons for his confidence, saying: "One of the most common minerals in the Universe is olivine; interstellar dust is full of it. When olivine and water mix on the seafloor, the reaction is exothermic." That is, it gives off heat.
The environment produced by this reaction "provides analogues for all six essential processes of living organisms," continued Dr Lane. But the especially important thing is that it releases "a rich source of chemical energy that is much easier for an organism to tap than, for example, the Sun's energy".
Thus, wherever olivine and water mix in large quantities, conditions are favourable for the emergence of life.
Consequently, life is not limited to planets that orbit a star; conceivably it could also exist on asteroids drifting through deep space. Simply put, "The Earth is not special," concluded Dr Lane.
Prof Simon Conway Morris, a renowned palaeontologist at the University of Cambridge, is not entirely convinced by these arguments, however.
"I would tend to raise one cautious eyebrow to such arguments," he said. After all, there is a horrible gulf between elementary chemical systems and the creation of fully functioning cells. It is a gap that we have been remarkably unable to bridge experimentally."
Prof Conway Morris concluded: "One important jigsaw piece that is rarely mentioned in these discussions is Fermi's Paradox." This is the concept of the Great Silence; in other words, if life is common in the Universe, why have we not managed to contact it?
And that surely is the key. For in the absence of verifiable alien contact, scientific opinion will forever remain split as to whether the Universe teems with life or we are alone in the inky blackness.

It is exploring whether it can buy out the contracts of RHI beneficiaries due to receive subsidy payments in the next 20 years.
First Minister Arlene Foster this week survived a no-confidence vote over the flawed design of the scheme, which is expected to run up a £400m overspend.
Buying out the recipients would incur a cost, but would reduce the final bill.
The RHI was set up by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (Deti) under the stewardship of Arlene Foster in 2012 to encourage businesses and other non-domestic users to move from using fossil fuels to renewable heating systems.
But flaws in setting the scheme's subsidy rate left it open to abuse as claimants could earn more cash the more fuel they burned.
The scheme was finally halted early this year, by which time its overall cost had reached £1.18bn.
About £20m a year for the next two decades could be taken from the Northern Ireland budget to cover the overspend.
In an interview with the BBC's Stephen Nolan on Thursday, Jonathan Bell, a former enterprise minister, broke ranks with his DUP colleagues and made a number of sensational claims about how the controversial scheme was handled.
In the tumultuous fall out Mrs Foster, who is now first minister, denounced a "trial by television" as she survived Monday's no-confidence vote in the Assembly.
The potential cost of a buy-out policy is not yet clear.
It would likely be focused on compensating recipients for the costs of buying and installing boilers.
The executive would prefer buy-outs to be voluntary but is also understood to have taken legal advice from the Attorney General about making them compulsory.
The other option being considered is keeping the scheme open but reducing the subsidy rate.
Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt said he favoured the scheme remaining open but said a windfall tax should be imposed on those who had abused it.
"It acknowledges the fact that this was a bad scheme, badly thought out and it had a fatal flaw in it," he said.
"The fundamental principle of having a renewable heat incentive to try and encourage people off fossil fuels onto renewables is sound and we want to continue with that rather than close it all down."
Mr Nesbitt has written to Assembly Speaker Robin Newton asking him to stand down after Christmas over his handling of this week's Assembly debate on the RHI scheme.
Mr Newton allowed First Minister Arlene Foster to make a statement on the scheme despite it not having the support or approval of Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.
An Assembly spokesperson said: "The Speaker intends to reply directly to Mr Nesbitt in the New Year."
The SDLP's Nichola Mallon said her party wrote to Mr Newton on Tuesday and drew his attention to the "fact that we believe that there is a significant issue of confidence in his role".
"We have asked that he consider his opinions," she said.
"We have done so because, unfortunately, I think, when the speaker increasingly becomes the story, there are issues, but in respect of Monday, we disagreed with his ruling."
Later, SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said the speaker had "lost confidence of the assembly and must stand down."
In a statement, the DUP said: "The speaker is independent of party politics and such calls are not a matter for the DUP.
"It is clear, however, that some parties have nothing to offer other than resignation calls and cheap walkout stunts."
TUV leader Jim Allister said a rating system could be introduced for boilers operating under the scheme.
"I would have thought that it would be possible to rate these boilers, to make them rateable, we've done that with wind turbines, you could do the same with these boilers and in that way recoup some of the excessive profits," he said.
On Tuesday Mr Bell, who was suspended from the DUP following his Nolan interview, released an email to the head of the civil service which he said held "critical information" about the scheme.
The email shows that the permanent secretary for the department responsible for the RHI scheme regarded the spike in applications in the autumn of 2015, which accounted for a large proportion of the projected £400m overspend, as "beyond reasonable prediction".
The former Enterprise Department Permanent Secretary, Andrew McCormick's, assessment came in an e-mail dated 28 January 2016.
Mr Bell has blamed the delay in bringing down the costs of the scheme on interference by DUP advisers - a charge rejected by the First Minister, Arlene Foster.
In the e-mail Mr McCormick said the former minister Mr Bell was advised of the mounting problems with the heating scheme in early July 2015.

It is a riot of towers and tendrils, resembling something out of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.
It has been christened the Tooth Fairy Palace, but like many fairy tales, all is not as it seems as it has been designed to raise awareness about stem cell research and its implications.
The palace will gradually become encrusted with real teeth - the teeth of children.
It is 2m high and the same distance across and is made from clear crystal resin.
Light is refracted and reflected, making it shine and sparkle.
But in small clusters, baby teeth have been carefully glued on to the sculpture, making them appear as if they are little growths of coral.
These teeth can be a source of stem cells, the focus of pioneering and sometimes controversial research.
It was while attending a public workshop on stem cell research given by biologist Prof Sara Rankin, from Imperial College, London, that Gina first had the idea for a work of art that included ideas about stem cells.
But she says there was another source of inspiration much closer to home.
"It started with my daughter who was then seven, coming home from school and looking at me and saying 'just tell me the truth, is the Tooth Fairy real?'.
"And at the same time she was learning about Adam and Eve and evolution, and I thought, this must be really confusing for her.
"So this palace evolved from conversations about stem cells, but also about truth and illusion, and about consent to giving a piece of you to build a big public artwork that you're part of and you helped build."
The teeth are donated by children who surrender them to the project in return for a token they can then leave under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy.
That means they do not miss out financially when the Tooth Fairy comes to call.
And it is Prof Rankin who has been selling the idea to children in schools, telling children about the project and her work as a scientist.
"Once you've explained the issue of the tooth token, generally all the children I've spoken to are very excited about the prospect of having their teeth part of this palace.
"It depends on what age group you're talking to. The seven-year-olds just like the idea that this is a piece of art they are literally going to be part of.
"When I talk to older children, we get into the issues about stem cells and other important things for discussion."
And one thing the work does, says Prof Rankin, is to change the way we think about body parts we might otherwise dismiss as unimportant.
"These include things like fat from liposuction, umbilical cords, or indeed baby teeth.
"All these body parts, currently classified as clinical waste, are actually potential sources of adult stem cells that could be very valuable in our future health care."
The sculpture will be shown at Liverpool's Bluecoat, before moving to the Science Museum in London next year and then the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in Coventry in 2013.
Alastair Upton, chief executive of the Bluecoat, says it is a work that will draw people in and make them think.
"It's beautiful and thought-provoking and then slightly disturbing.

The child was taken to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow, from a house in Cambuslang, following the alleged incident on 21 December.
His condition was described as serious.
The Crown Office said that David McMullan, 32, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court last Friday where he made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody.
Mr McMullan was charged with attempted murder and assault to severe injury, permanent impairment and danger to life.
Work on the controversial 15-mile (25km) Thames Tideway Tunnel, which has been proposed by Thames Water, will start in 2016 and finish in 2023.
The company says it is needed because the city's current Victorian drainage system cannot cope.
Opponents say the work will cause major disruption near tunnelling sites and insist there are better options.

The tunnel will run from Acton Storm Tanks in west London to the Abbey Mills pumping station, in east London, and have a storage capacity of 1.25 million cubic metres.
It would eventually add up to £80 a year to Thames Water customers' bills.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said: "This is a challenging infrastructure project, but it is clear that the Thames Tunnel will help modernise London's ageing Victorian sewerage system, and make the River Thames cleaner and safer."
Thames Water has said the current systems overflow on a weekly basis, flushing 39 million tonnes of raw sewage straight into the Thames each year. The company said in 2013, 55 million tonnes of sewage polluted the river.
"If the tunnel had been in operation last year, it would have captured 97% of the sewage that poured into London's river," Thames Water's Andy Mitchell said.
"Hardly a week goes by when untreated sewage isn't pouring in to London's river and we are pleased that we can now start to tackle this archaic problem.
"This is a huge project but it's a huge problem, and we can now get on with tackling it."
But several London councils and environmental groups have criticised the project.
Southwark Council leader Peter John described it as a "ludicrous and evil decision".
And Christian Sarrasin, from the environmental group, Clean Thames Now and Always, said much of the building work would take place around the clock, causing "mayhem" for people who lived near the tunnelling sites.
"We've concreted over all the cities and that's why we've got this issue with the Thames Tunnel," he said.
He said there were cheaper, greener alternatives to it that involved preventing stormwater flooding into the sewers in the first place, such as green roofs and porous asphalt roads that soaked up or stored water.
The sporting schedule was also announced as part of celebrations marking 100 days until the Games begin.
The event, being held in the summer, will see 24 competing islands or island groups with about 3,000 competitors.
Games director Steve Bailey said: "Beautiful Jersey is an old song but it has a new arrangement to make it sound more like an anthem."
The previous anthem was Gerard Le Feuvre's Island Home, which was voted for in 2008.
Earlier this month Jersey athlete Steve Bouchard called for the island's "drab and miserable" anthem to be replaced by something more upbeat.
The opening ceremony will be held at Howard Davis Park on Saturday 27 June, with the closing ceremony on Friday 3 July at the same venue.
Mr Bailey said the Games were "a big event and we want to see people supporting not only Jersey athletes, but all the visiting athletes".
Phil Austin, from the International Island Games Association, said: "We've got about 400 gamesmakers and the enthusiasm from them is fantastic.
"They know their role and these are the people who will make the difference."
The team say he will be back in the car at Sakhir after missing the first two races because of a lack of fitness.
Wehrlein's winter training programme was affected by a back injury suffered in a crash in January's Race of Champions event.
The 22-year-old German drove in Friday practice at the first race in Australia but then pulled out saying he was not strong enough to race.
Wehrlein was replaced for the first two races by Ferrari third driver Antonio Giovinazzi, who impressed with his pace but suffered two heavy accidents in the space of two days in China last weekend.
Wehrlein's decision not to take part in Melbourne and Shanghai came despite being given medical clearance to race.
He came in for criticism because of the number of times in the past that other drivers have raced in physical adversity.
Sauber have defended him, however, with team principal Monisha Kaltenborn saying: "From a medical perspective, he was declared fine to race already at the [pre-season] tests.
"The rest is a question of his fitness to the extent that he wants to be able to deliver 100% during the entire race.
"When we came to Melbourne with Pascal, there was no indication at all that we'd end up in this situation, because Pascal, being a very ambitious driver, really wanted to drive.
"But he realised he does have a responsibility to the team and if he is not 100% fit he really needs to say that."

United have had a bid of around £37m accepted for the player, who is set to sign a four-and-a-half-year deal.
Mata, 25, has failed to command a regular starting place at Chelsea under manager Jose Mourinho.
Mata, who has won 32 caps, said goodbye to team-mates and staff at Chelsea's Cobham training ground on Wednesday.
2011-12: 54 appearances, 12 goals, Champions League winner, FA Cup winner
2012-13: 64 appearances, 20 goals, Europa League winner
2013-14: 17 appearances, 1 goal
(Stats are for all competitions)
United continue to deny having made a bid for the playmaker, but it is understood they have made an offer through intermediaries working on the deal.
Manager David Moyes declined to answer questions on Mata after his side's League Cup semi-final defeat by Sunderland.
Should the deal go through, it would break United's previous transfer record of £30.75m they paid Spurs for Dimitar Berbatov in September 2008.
On Tuesday, Chelsea insisted that Mata, who had been voted the club's player of the year two seasons in a row, was not for sale.
But the player, who was part of the Spain squad which won the World Cup in 2010 and European Championship in 2012, has been substituted in nine of his 13 Premier League appearances for the Blues this season.
"The club-record move for Juan Mata is not only a sign of ambition and support for manager David Moyes - it is a sign of the urgency with which improvement is required.
"United get a player who will add much-needed quality and creation to their out-of-sorts side.
"The intrigue surrounds where Moyes will play Mata if and when all his attacking resources such as Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are fit again. The Spain attacker's best position is just behind the strikers, so how will Moyes adjust his team to fit him in with the gifted Adnan Januzaj also available?"
United have made no secret of their plans to rebuild their team under Moyes and are prepared to pay a premium for top players if it means securing them now rather than waiting until the summer.
"A lot of the work we are doing now is in preparation for the summer," Moyes told United's matchday programme ahead of the Sunderland game.
"If we can do any business now, then we will certainly try to do it, but I will not compromise the standards required for a player that can come into this club and help improve it."
Mourinho, 50, said last week that while he understood it was "hard" for Mata to sit on the bench, the Spaniard still had a "big role" to play at the club.
The Portuguese has trusted Eden Hazard, Oscar and summer signing Willian in attacking roles this season and while his relationship with Mata is healthy, he has conceded Chelsea's system does not suit the player.
"There are fantastic players, but sometimes the fantastic players are more fantastic to a certain system and less fantastic in a certain model of play," Mourinho told BBC Sport's Football Focus.

"He is an unbelievable player and a fantastic boy who is trying his best to adapt."
Chelsea paid £23.5m to sign Mata from Valencia in 2011. The former Real Madrid youth player began life in England by scoring 13 goals in his first at Stamford Bridge won the FA Cup and Champions League.
He followed it up with 20 goals in the 2012-13 season as Chelsea lifted the Europa League under Rafael Benitez but, since Mourinho returned for his second spell at the club, Mata has seen his playing time limited.
He was substituted 53 minutes into the Blues' 3-0 win at Southampton on New Year's Day, his last appearance, and was visibly frustrated when taking his place on the bench.
The Kentmere Ward at the Westmorland General Hospital was criticised in a Care Quality Commission report, which highlighted a lack of single sex rooms and suitable outside spaces.
Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust announced its closure in May.
It will now remain open, pending a consultation of adult mental health inpatient services due later this year.
The closure would have meant mental health patients having to travel as far as Carlisle, Barrow and Whitehaven for treatment.
It prompted a campaign led by local MP Tim Farron, and a petition which attracted more than 7,000 signatures.
Claire Molloy, from the foundation trust, said: "Whilst we acknowledge that Kentmere does not meet the standards of modern mental health inpatient care, we are satisfied that the actions taken over the past few months are managing the risks posed by the environment on a short term basis.
"We have also reviewed the risk of putting in place an alternative service if the ward was to temporarily close, and have concluded that the risk of closing the ward temporarily is greater than keeping it open."
Tim Farron, the Lib Dem MP Westmorland and Lonsdale, said: "Today's victory is the result of months of campaigning by local people, who have made it very clear to local health bosses that we will not accept mental health services being removed from South Lakeland."

Fury, who is unbeaten in 24 fights, successfully defended his European heavyweight title in London in March and has previously taunted Klitschko.
In July, Fury described him as "boring", adding: "You have about as much charisma as my underpants - zero."
Next month's fight will be a record-breaking 28th heavyweight title bout for Klitschko and his 19th defence in his second reign as world champion.
He is seeking nomination as AM Janice Gregory is standing down from the safe Ogmore seat in Bridgend county.
Mr Irranca-Davies, who has been an MP since 2002, is the most high profile Westminster politician to consider a move to the assembly in recent years.
He said: "I have mulled over this for two to three years but I thought the opportunity would never come up."
A decision will now have to be made by Welsh Labour about whether the party's candidate is chosen from an open or an all-women list.
"I do not think Westminster is the be all and end all," said Mr Irranca-Davies.
"We should stop being humble about the Welsh assembly and the Welsh government and start saying that this is the place that really matters.
"I hope it's a sign that the Senedd is gaining in importance and credibility."
Mr Irranca-Davies is already co-ordinating Labour's assembly election campaign for next May.
Huda al-Ajmi, a 37-year-old teacher, has been also convicted of misusing her mobile phone.
She can appeal against the sentence.
Kuwait has punished several Twitter users in recent months for insulting its ruler, Sheikh Sabah al-Sabah, who is described as "immune and inviolable" in the constitution.
In May, an appeals court overturned a five-year sentence for prominent opposition figure Mussallam al-Barrak who was convicted of "undermining" the ruling emir, says his defence lawyer.
The former MP was arrested over remarks he made at a rally in October, urging the emir to avoid "autocratic" rule in Kuwait. Mr Barrak was handed the sentence in April, but later freed on bail.
His trial prompted angry protests and clashes between activists and police.
There has been a recent clampdown in Kuwait, with activists and MPs being charged with insulting the emir through comments posted on social networking sites such as Twitter.
While Kuwait has not seen the same scale of pro-democracy uprisings as in other Arab states, there has been growing tension between former MPs and the government, which is dominated by the Sabah family.
Muse Developments was chosen to deliver the new £107m look for the site of the former council headquarters.
The plan is for offices, restaurants and a hotel.
BBC Scotland revealed last month the building specifics had not been finalised, but Muse has now confirmed the breakdown.
What's happening in Scotland? Keep in touch through our live page.
Aberdeen City Council said it had reached an agreement in principle with the developers in terms of the details of finishes and materials, and a final formal submission was expected shortly.
The specification of building materials should have been agreed before work started. However, Aberdeen City Council agreed to give some leeway.
New images of how the project is expected to look have been released.
Muse said businesses including All Bar One and Burger and Lobster have agreed to take restaurant space.
And Marriott is set to operate the 126-bedroom.
Muse regional director for Scotland, Stephen Turner, said: "Marischal Square will be a keystone of the vision of the council's city centre masterplan proposals."
In 2011, more than 1,000 council staff vacated the 14-storey St Nicholas House building, erected in 1968, for the newly-refurbished Marischal College building.
The estimated £4.3bn cost of the initiative would be paid back over time by the taxes paid by those who settle in Britain, he said.
The government said it would accept 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020 - but Labour said the figure was inadequate and urged ministers to do more.
Mr Farron claimed the UK had "taken a pitiful number of people".
The Lib Dem leader said ministers had only accepted refugees "under extreme pressure".
"For all that we focus on Brexit, and lots of other things as well, the biggest humanitarian crisis facing our continent is still going on and Britain is turning its back and pretending it's not happening," he said.
"If you show confidence in people and give them sanctuary they become very loyal citizens.
"We are only talking about 50,000 people. We are talking about doing what is right."
The move, along with reopening the programme to settle lone child refugees, will be fully costed in the Lib Dem manifesto, Mr Farron said.
The Lib Dem leader, visiting a refugee charity in Gloucestershire on Thursday, said the numbers of new arrivals would be absorbed over five years.
In 2015, former Conservative prime minister David Cameron said the UK had a "moral responsibility" to take in 20,000 refugees living in camps bordering Syria.
He said suggestions the UK would be better off leaving with no deal, rather than with a bad deal, "increasingly take the form of a threat".
The European Council president told the European Parliament that in the Brexit talks "a no deal scenario would be bad for everyone but above all for the UK".
He said the "goal is a smooth divorce" with the UK and EU as "good friends"
He told the last meeting of the European Parliament before the UK triggers Article 50 that it was "carefully preparing" for Brexit and "it is our wish to make this process constructive and conducted in an orderly manner".
But he warned: "However, the claims, increasingly taking the form of threats that no agreement will be good for the UK, and bad for the EU, need to be addressed.
"I want to be clear that a 'no deal scenario' would be bad for everyone, but above all for the UK, because it would leave a number of issues unresolved.
"We will not be intimidated by threats - and I can assure you they simply will not work.
"Our goal is to have a smooth divorce and a good framework for the future - and it is good to know that Prime Minister Theresa May shares this view."
Mr Tusk also stressed that he would "do everything in my power to make sure that the EU and the UK will be close friends in the future", adding that "Britain will be dearly missed as an EU member state".
"At the same time, I would like to stress again that the EU's door will always remain open for our British friends," he said.
In Westminster meanwhile, Brexit Secretary David Davis told the Commons Exiting the European Union committee he had yet to "quantify" the impact of leaving the EU without a deal.
"I have a fairly clear view of how it will work out, I just haven't quantified it yet. We will get a quantification later on, but it is quite plain how it will work out," he said.
Mr Davis told the MPs it was right to assume leaving the EU without a deal would involve trade tariffs.
Pressed on whether this would be a good thing, he said: "At this stage, until we have worked out all the mitigation procedures, we could not quantify the outcome."
He said this would not be as good as the free trade deal the government was seeking with the EU, but was "not as frightening" as some people think.
The Brexit secretary said it was "very important" that the negotiations are "as far as possible amicable".
"There will be times when the negotiations will get tough I am sure, but tough does not mean spiteful, angry, whatever you want to choose," he said.
Mr Davis said EU nations should be allowed a "considerable amount of slack" because they are disappointed the UK is leaving.
But Labour's shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer claimed Mr Davis's comments proved the government had "made no assessment of the economic impact of the prime minister failing to secure a deal".
"What's clear, from the CBI and others, is that there is no result that would be worse for the British economy than leaving with no deal," he said.
"No deal would be the worst possible deal. The government should rule out this dangerous and counter-productive threat before Article 50 is triggered."
The Lib Dems said the government's position on no deal being reached was "the equivalent of driving towards a cliff-edge with a blindfold on".
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says she wants to ask the UK government for permission to hold a second referendum on Scottish independence to protect the nation's interests in the wake of the UK opting to leave the EU.
She said the Brexit vote has left Scotland at a crossroads, with an independence referendum needed to allow the country to choose which path to take.
Mr Davis said the government had promised to seek an agreement with Scotland on its Brexit strategy.
"If one side doesn't want to agree there is no way 'seek to agree' can turn to 'agree'," he added.
The minister also said he expected the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill, which cleared the Commons and the Lords earlier this week, to receive Royal Assent and become law on Thursday.
The new law will give Theresa May the power to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty and trigger formal Brexit negotiations - a move she is expected to make by the end of March.
The Boeing 727 aircraft fuselage will be escorted by police from Bournemouth International Airport.
The journey will begin at 10:00 GMT from the B3073 Parley Lane and then on to the A31 east.
The transporter and its load will be 4.45m (14.5ft) wide - police have warned delays are expected due to its slow speed.
Its final destination is Cotswold Airport in Cirencester.
Steve Thomas warned there is a danger the council elections could become "a very large opinion poll" ahead of the Westminster vote.
Parties said they would be trying to make the difference between the two sets of polls clear to voters.
The local polls take place on 4 May.
Prime Minister Theresa May recently announced her decision to call a snap general election for 8 June, which is just over a month later.
Speaking to the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales programme, Mr Thomas said: "I think there is the danger with local elections as well that the local elections inevitably get crowded out by the national election.
"It's not surprising, there are huge issues at stake at a national level but that doesn't negate the importance of local elections.
"The local elections are about the services people generally care about: education, social care, their local environment - all those issues are massively important."
Asked if the increased coverage being given to the UK party leaders could influence the way people vote in the local elections, Mr Thomas said: "It could do, possibly, but when people stand in that polling station with that pencil in their hand, hopefully, they'll think about their locality and what they want to see happen in their locality over the next five years.
"Hopefully, people will turn out and they will make a commitment to voting in the local elections because, at the end of the day, this affects you as much as that national election."
Wales' Local Government Secretary, Labour's Mark Drakeford, said Theresa May's decision would have a "galvanising effect" on Labour supporters.
And the Welsh Conservatives' local government spokeswoman Janet Finch-Saunders said the extra political coverage was "energising politicians and the electorate" ahead of the local elections.
Plaid Cymru's local government spokeswoman Siân Gwenllian said the timing of the general election so close to the local elections was "a bit unfortunate".
While UKIP's Gareth Bennett suggested the general election could have been called a month later to "avoid some of this overlap".
Peter Black from the Liberal Democrats said: "It's my job as a local politician to go out there and persuade people that they have to vote for the right reasons in the right election."

A team at King's College London said low levels of vitamin D, which is made by the body in sunlight, was linked to a worsening of symptoms.
Its latest research shows the vitamin calms an over-active part of the immune system in asthma.
However, treating patients with vitamin D has not yet been tested.
People with asthma can find it hard to breathe when their airways become inflamed, swollen and narrowed.
Most people are treated with steroids, but the drugs do not work for all.
"We know people with high levels of vitamin D are better able to control their asthma - that connection is quite striking," said researcher Prof Catherine Hawrylowicz.
Her group investigated the impact of the vitamin on a chemical in the body, interleukin-17. It is a vital part of the immune system and helps to fight off infections.
However, it can cause problems when levels get too high and has been strongly implicated in asthma.
In this study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, vitamin D was able to lower levels of interleukin-17 when it was added to blood samples taken from 28 patients.
The team is now conducting clinical trials to see if giving the sunshine vitamin to patients could ease their symptoms. They are looking at patients who do not respond to steroids as they produce seven times more interleukin-17 than other patients.
Prof Catherine Hawrylowicz told the BBC: "We think that treating people with vitamin D could make steroid-resistant patients respond to steroids or let those who can control their asthma take less steroids."
She said a culture of covering up in the sun and using sun cream may have increased asthma rates, but "it is a careful message because too much sun is bad for you".
Malayka Rahman, from the charity Asthma UK, said: "For the majority of people with asthma, current available medicines are an effective way of managing the condition but we know that they don't work for everyone, which is why research into new treatments is vital.
"We also know that many people with asthma have concerns about the side effects of their medicines so if vitamin D is shown to reduce the amount of medicines required, this would have an enormous impact on people's quality of life.
"We look forward to the results of the clinical trial."
McQueen, who won an Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, has been signed up to make the film by the late hip-hop star's family.
Shakur, who was murdered in 1996, had only a five-year career but has sold more than 75 million records and acquired a hero status.
"I am extremely moved and excited to be exploring the life and times of this legendary artist," McQueen said.
"I attended NYU film school in 1993 and can remember the unfolding hip-hop world and mine overlapping with Tupac's through a mutual friend in a small way," McQueen added.
"Few, if any shined brighter than Tupac Shakur. I look forward to working closely with his family to tell the unvarnished story of this talented man."
Shakur's aunt, Gloria Cox, will oversee the film as executive producer and the film is being made with the support of Amaru Entertainment, set up by the rapper's mother to release her son's posthumous projects.
Shakur died in September 1996 in Las Vegas after being shot four times by an unidentified assailant.
He acquired worldwide fame and last month became the first solo hip-hop artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This year two more films are due to be released about him, including the dramas All Eyez On Me and LAbyrinth with Johnny Depp.
British director McQueen's credits also include Hunger and Shame, and in 2014 he became the first black film-maker to win an Oscar for best picture, for 12 Years a Slave. He is also a Turner Prize-winning video artist.
He is currently also working on a big screen adaptation of British TV thriller Widows starring Viola Davis, Liam Neeson, Andre Holland, Daniel Kaluuya, Michelle Rodriguez and Robert Duvall.

Current designs "leak" large amounts of light in unwanted directions, obscuring views of the stars, wasting energy and making it harder for drivers to see.
The team, based in Mexico and Japan, said they believed their solution was the "best ever reported".
However, they have yet to turn their theory into a working prototype.
The study - carried out by scientists in Mexico and Taiwan - appears in the open-access journal Optics Express.
According to the researchers, conventional street lamps - which use high-pressure sodium or mercury vapour - scatter up to 20% of their energy horizontally or vertically because it is difficult to control their beams.
It is easier to direct light from LEDs because it is being emitted from a smaller area.
So, while manufacturers controlled the direction of the light rays from older lamps using a reflector typically made out of polished aluminium, they can now take advantage of lenses to be more precise.
The researchers say the best LED (light-emitting diode) streetlamps on the market direct about 10% of their energy horizontally or vertically.
But they claim their own invention could further reduce the amount to just 2%.
Their proposed lamp uses three features to ensure the vast majority of its light is limited to a pre-determined rectangular shape covering the road:
The researchers suggest that the set-up would also save on electricity costs since it should require between 10 and 50% less power to illuminate a section of road than current LED streetlamps.
They added that they were now working to build a prototype and hoped to have it completed by October.
London-based light design firm Speirs and Major unveiled an LED-based streetlamp design of its own last year.
The firm's associate director, Andrew Howis, said the latest study was just one of several efforts under way aimed at tackling the problem of stray light.
"As a result of LEDs it is now possible to place light exactly where it is needed and to greatly reduce spill light and energy wastage," he said.
"This new research is an example of the innovation in LED optics - of which there are many - which uses a fairly sophisticated optical system to produce an optimised distribution for street lighting.
"It sounds like an advance on what is already available, but of itself is not revolutionary. The change from conventional light sources to LED is the revolution."
The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) also gave the new work a qualified welcome.
The lobby group carries out an annual star count to publicise the problem of light pollution which it says disrupts wildlife and people's sleep.
It noted that the new technology would only be of use if councils were willing to invest in it.
"From 1993 to 2000, light pollution in England increased by 26%, which shows the huge amount of energy and money wasted," said campaigner Emma Marrington.
"It should be seen as an investment for local authorities to install more efficient street lighting, which will save money and energy waste in the long-term.
"Design is great but councils have to follow through with investment."
The body of Bernadette Fox, 57, of Brookhill Road, Bootle, was found on Friday while her daughter Sarah Fox, 27, was found on Thursday.
Police want to trace Bernadette's son, Peter Fox, and have advised members of the public not to approach him.
The family of the women said they were "absolutely devastated" by the deaths.
Det Ch Insp Dave Rooney said the motive for the killings was "unclear at this time".
"We are currently trying to trace Peter Fox, the son of Bernadette, as he could have information which could assist with our investigation," he said.
"I would stress to the public that if they do see Peter Fox, they should not approach him."
The body of Sarah Fox was discovered with several injuries at a property in Worcester Road at about 21:15 BST on Thursday. The body of her mother was found at 04:00 on Friday.
The roads where the bodies were found are within 200m of each other.
A spokesperson for the family said: "We are absolutely devastated following the loss of Bernadette and Sarah and are still trying to come to terms with what has happened to them both."
Bernadette, who was a mother of three and grandmother of three, was described as "a very outgoing and lovely person who wouldn't harm anyone".
The spokesperson said Sarah was "well-liked" and a "fantastic auntie", as well as being a "cheeky, bubbly and outgoing person who loved her dog".
Post-mortem investigations found Bernadette died as a result of asphyxiation and Sarah died as a result of multiple stab wounds.
Here are eight reasons - eight being an auspicious number in China - why the world should pay attention to what happens in the secretive corridors of Beijing's Great Hall of the People.
It is now 35 years since former leader Deng Xiaoping's catchy slogan signalled China's opening to the world and ushered in one of the biggest economic success stories in human history.
Its economy has gone from being rather smaller than Italy's to the world's second largest, and is now home to one million US$ millionaires. By the time the new generation of leaders hands over power to the next in 2022, China could be challenging the US for top spot.
How China is ruled
This transformation has changed the way the world does business. Cheap Chinese labour has helped dampen prices in the West for everything from moccasins to mops to mobile phones. It is now the biggest investor in Africa, promising to shift the continent's focus away from Europe and the US for the first time in two centuries. And China is now the biggest foreign holder of US government debt - a threatening stick, or a foolhardy bet?
The key question now is whether the new leaders can keep the economy growing at the same rate as in the past, and help the rest of the world recover. Most Western analysts expect it to slow from 10% a year to a still impressive 6-7%, but argue that deep reforms are needed if China is to become a rich rather than middle-income country.
Growth should help create the world's biggest middle class, eager to enjoy creature comforts like cars and air conditioning, whatever the environmental cost.
China has been growing so fast it has scarcely stopped to consider the environmental cost.
The results are sobering. Rapid industrialisation and a building boom saw China overtake the US as the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in 2007. Seven of the world's most polluted cities are in China. Each year it causes 500,000 to 750,000 premature deaths.
The damage is not just inside China. Airborne pollution including mercury and lead is carried across borders into neighbouring countries, and across the Pacific where it falls on the US West Coast.
China's leaders do now appear determined to clean up the worst excesses, but the scale of the task is daunting.
"If you look at the size of the economy and its population, these two factors alone show how complex it's going to be," says Edgar Cua of the Asian Development Bank.
It means China will be central to any future agreements on climate change. It has refused to limit its greenhouse gas emissions, preferring to cut "carbon intensity" - the carbon released per unit of economic output - by 40-45% by 2020. But with the economy growing so fast, and China relying on coal for up to 70% of its energy needs, greenhouse gas emissions will still rise by 60% from their present level, even if the carbon intensity target is met.
China has long fascinated the West, but its emergence as an economic power has seen a new burgeoning of interest in its culture and language.
Thirty years ago, only its inscrutable leaders were recognised in the West. Now people like actress Zhang Ziyi, basketball player Yao Ming and artist Zhang Xiaogang are global figures.
Meanwhile schools across Europe and the US are offering Mandarin classes to children as young as six, and during the Olympics, Chinese script could be seen on adverts on some London buses.
China's government has sought to capture the zeitgeist, helping set up several hundred Confucius Institutes around the world whose overt goal is teaching Chinese, but which also project soft power.
The number of Mandarin speakers is set to grow strongly, especially in Asia, but is it really able to challenge English as a global language? Not any time soon, most experts argue, pointing to its infuriating tones and a script which takes years to master.
China adopted the phrase "peaceful rise" to try and assure nervous neighbours that its new-found economic clout would not turn it into a bully.
But territorial disputes with Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam - and simmering tensions with the US - sometimes give the words a hollow ring.
China's People's Liberation Army is the world's largest, at three million strong, and its official budget is rising fast. Its first aircraft carrier has just gone into service and it is believed to be investing heavily in stealth technology, space warfare and cyber security.
These are natural developments for a country of its size and influence, China argues, and do not signal it has changed tack.
"Every country has to defend its security and territorial interests, but it doesn't mean we have to become aggressive, that way you can alienate even your friends," said Wu Jianmin, former ambassador to France.
But the real question is how China's new leaders pitch policy towards the US. They are younger and have more experience of the outside world, so can they set aside the entrenched suspicions among their rival militaries? History suggests the inevitable frictions between a superpower and its upstart challenger will lead to more tensions than detente.
China's Communist Party paints the century before it came to power in 1949 as one of humiliation by the West. So China's successful space programme is lauded as proof their country has regained its international standing.
But the huge cost is controversial given that 150m Chinese still live on $1 a day or less.
Having already sent an unmanned craft to orbit the moon, China has said it will send its first probe to land there in 2013. It has also spoken of preliminary plans to put humans on the moon, though no date has been set.
If the mission goes ahead, TV pictures beamed into the world's living rooms will also be flagging up China's challenge to the world's predominant space power, the US.
Newly-wealthy Chinese are blamed for fuelling the poaching of endangered species for use as aphrodisiacs, ornaments or to put in their soup.
Thousands of African elephants are killed each year for their ivory, which Chinese carvers prize, and China's government has been criticised for not properly policing its ivory trade.
The problem is that economic reforms which have lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty have also created voracious consumers.
Pork consumption gives a good idea of the impact. China now consumes five times more pork than in 1979, and is now home to 460m pigs, half the world's total.
But feeding them is impossible given the shortage of land. So farmers have resorted to importing up to 60% of the world's soyabean exports, pushing up prices for everyone else, and raising real fears over the industry's environmental impact.
In future, the pressures are likely to intensify as China seeks to feed 21% of the world's population with only 9% of its cultivated land. Some experts believe we will all have to get used to higher food prices, and to Chinese farmers buying up more and more overseas land.
As recently as 1995, applying for a passport to leave China was a six-month endurance test of bureaucracy, and most applicants were officials.
Now it can be done in a few days, and millions of Chinese are taking advantage of their government's new openness to travel overseas as tourists or students.
China's tourists are now the world's third biggest spenders, behind those from Germany and the US, and 70m Chinese travelled overseas in 2011, compared to 4.5m in 1995. Most stay close to home, in places like Hong Kong, Macau and Thailand. But increasing numbers are heading for the US or France, as well as less obvious destinations like Trier, the birthplace of Karl Marx. On Paris' Bateaux Mouches river cruises, as the sights are picked out in one language after another, Mandarin now comes ahead of Japanese.
Each year about 300,000 Chinese students are also heading abroad, especially to universities in the US and Australia. They want the kudos of a foreign education to get a better job when they return home. Some also see it as a way to dodge the exhausting entry test for China's own universities.
The wealth that has been created inside China has surged around the world.
Chinese demand has caused spikes in prices for commodities like copper - needed to cable up rapidly growing cities and infrastructure. It has reinvigorated Europe's luxury goods makers like Louis Vuitton and Hermes, whose products are de rigueur in China's status-obsessed and gift-giving culture. And it is transforming prestige wine sales - China now buys more Bordeaux than Germany.
Perhaps the most spectacular impact, some would call it a bubble, is on Chinese art. Three of the 10 most expensive paintings sold in 2011 were by Chinese artists, including the most expensive, a $57.2m work by Qi Baishi.
The next phase is likely to see China's industrial giants starting to look overseas for new markets and new expertise.
That will be controversial because most of them are controlled by the Communist Party. In areas like telecommunications and energy, they could threaten trade rows with the West.
They have been an agricultural heartland for centuries and, local farmers hope, will continue to be so for years to come.
You might imagine that - however the vote goes on 23 June - it would have little impact here.
But the moment you speak to anyone involved in farming, you recognise the reality is a little different.
The industry has long-established links to Europe and any change to that situation could have profound effects.
At the same time, it would only be fair to say that the relationship has not always been a smooth one.
Rob Livesey, who farms in the central Borders and is a vice-president of NFU Scotland, sums up the situation succinctly.
£3,388m
Income before expenses of £2,721m
£1,282m Livestock
£488m Crops
£469m Livestock products
£452m Grants and subsidies
"The Common Agricultural Policy and the EU have been key to a lot of how farming has evolved since 1973 when we joined," he explained.
"So, it has always been in our minds and we have kind of behaved in a way determined by how the EU operates.
"Looking forward, the unknown is always a worry and knowing what the options are and what the full implications for us as farmers are is difficult to get a handle on."
He said there were a couple of key questions which any European exit would raise.
Mr Livesey explained: "I suppose, firstly, we would suggest just now that we haven't got much confidence in our support mechanism being maintained.
"Europe has supported us economically quite substantially during those years and whether Westminster or the Scottish government would be able to continue to do that would be in question."
How the UK is affected by the Common Agricultural Policy and EU fishing policies.
The other issue is one of access to markets.
He said: "The EU, with its 500 million people, is a really key place for our products to go both within the UK and outside and we don't see any of those opportunities missed.
"The support that I talked about earlier is being reduced on a daily basis, that pot of income coming into farms is getting less and less and we really need access to those markets to maintain our incomes.
"So anything that threatens that is really concerning to us as farmers."
Mr Livesey believed that was a particularly worry for his sector - sheep farming - with Europe taking the majority of their product.
He said: "We only need to look back to the foot-and-mouth outbreak in 2001 when our market really collapsed and we were in a very difficult financial position.
"That was really because we couldn't export lamb to the continent.
"If you remember back when the French were burning lamb and all that kind of nonsense before we got trade arrangements put in place properly.
"We don't want to see that coming back again - that's a nightmare scenario for us as sheep farmers."
Whether or not Brexit becomes a reality, it is clear that our relationship with Europe will be quite different for the next generation as it has been for our forefathers
Not that he believes everything in the way the EU operates has been perfect.
Many farmers have felt frustrated at the constraints placed on them over the years of membership.
"The other side to it really is that the EU has also imposed on us many regulations which seem irrelevant and anti-competitive," he said.
Gary Mitchell, who runs a dairy farm in Stoneykirk in the far west of Dumfries and Galloway, is one who would be happy to leave that world behind.
He said: "My personal view would be that I think we should come out.
"From an agricultural point of view, it is always talk about subsidies - we need agriculture subsidies to survive.
"I know certain sectors need that subsidy but I would like to see the market actually returning.
"In 1991 we were 75% self-sufficient in food, now we are only 62% - so to me Europe isn't working for our productivity in agriculture and I think that is where we need to see things change."
And what about those at the very outset of their agricultural careers?
Sarah Allison of the Scottish Association of Young Farmers Clubs said they wanted to hear both sides before coming to any decision on how to vote.
"The EU institution has long been a key partner of Scottish agriculture," she said.
"Whether or not Brexit becomes a reality, it is clear that our relationship with Europe will be quite different for the next generation as it has been for our forefathers.
"What our next generation of farmers need to hear is a clear and reasoned debate of the positives and negatives of EU membership, as ultimately it will be them who are living and working with the consequences."
That is why debate and discussion of the European referendum is likely to be just as vibrant at livestock marts and agricultural shows in the days to come as it is among politicians and big city firms.

Fisherman's Friends vocalist Trevor Grills, 54, and Paul McMullen, 44, died after a steel door collapsed at G Live in Guildford on 9 February 2013.
David Naylor, 57, director of Express Hi-Fold Doors Ltd, denies two charges of manslaughter by gross negligence.
The company denies a third charge of a breach of health and safety laws.
Mr Grills, from Port Isaac, Cornwall, and Mr McMullen, from Disley in Cheshire, were at the G Live venue ahead of a performance due to be staged by the 10-piece group.
They were unloading music equipment from their van when the door, designed and manufactured by Express Hi-Fold Doors Ltd, fell on them.
Live updates on the trial
On the opening day of the trial, the jury was told doors manufactured by Mr Naylor's company had failed before.
It heard the door measured 12m (40ft) wide by 6.6m (22ft) high and weighed more than two tonnes.
The court was told Mr Naylor, of Stourbridge Road, Bridgnorth, had known there was a serious risk of such a door falling as, before the deaths of Mr Grills and Mr McMullen, a number of his doors had fallen although no-one had been killed.
Zoe Johnson QC said: "The prosecution alleges that the failure to have an anti-drop safeguard coupled with other evidence of earlier door collapses and this defendant's rather casual approach to safety means that his conduct is so bad as to amount to the offence of gross negligence manslaughter."
She told the court that the door collapsed "because two drive chains, linking the motor and gearbox to a drive shaft, failed and the failure of the drive chains disconnected the motor from the drive shaft".
The chains failed after a "misalignment of the drive sprockets" had caused wear over time, she added.
The jury heard that Mr McMullen, who grew up in Heanor, Derbyshire, died at the scene after being crushed under the bi-fold door and suffering severe injuries to his pelvis and legs.
Mr Grills was "struck to the head", suffering life-threatening injuries. He died in hospital on 12 February.
"This was an avoidable tragedy," the prosecutor said.
The trial continues.
The 36-year-old started his career with the Shrimps and helped them win promotion to the Football League, scoring in their play-off final win over Exeter in 2007.
"I'm absolutely buzzing to be honest. I'm so glad to be back," Thompson said.
Morecambe have also re-signed 34-year-old midfielder Michael Rose on a one-year deal.
Rose made 50 appearances for the Shrimps last season after joining on a one-year deal in August.
"I spoke to the manager last season and there was never really any doubts in my mind that I would re-sign," he said.

Manchester-based executive Katy Jones, who previously worked on Jimmy McGovern's ITV drama about the 1989 football disaster, died on Friday aged 51.
She also worked for ITV's World in Action programme and, in recent years, produced education content for the BBC.
Sinead Rocks, head of BBC Learning, said she was "hugely talented".
"She was passionate about education and learning and her enthusiasm, energy and determination knew no bounds. Our thoughts are with her family at this very sad time."
Peter Salmon, director of BBC England, added: "Katy brought huge energy and commitment to everything she worked on. We will miss her enormously at MediaCityUK."
She was on the Hillsborough Independent Panel which, in 2012, released its report into the disaster.
Mrs Jones was also a producer on Jimmy McGovern's Sunday - about the events of the 1972 Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland - Bafta-award winning drama Mark of Cain and the 9/11 film Yasmin.
She also founded the education company Child's Eye Media in 2005 before joining the BBC when it moved to Salford in 2011.
The mother-of-two was married to Mike Spencer, who worked with her at ITV Granada.
Ciaran James Williamson died after the incident at Craigton Cemetery, in Cardonald, at about 19:25 on Tuesday.
He was pronounced dead at Yorkhill Hospital, where one of the 10-year-olds is in a stable condition. The third boy was later released from hospital.
Police said they were not not treating the incident as suspicious.
In a short statement issued by police, Ciaran's family said: "We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that our son Ciaran James Williamson sadly passed away in a tragic accident at Craigton Crematorium.
"We would respectfully ask that you respect our privacy at this distressing time."
Det Insp Tom McKean, of Police Scotland, said: "This is such a tragic set of circumstances and our thoughts are with Ciaran's family.
"Inquiries are ongoing, however the incident is not being treated as suspicious and a full report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal."
The woman, aged in her 20s, was walking along High Road in Tottenham, north London, with a friend when they were approached from behind by two males.
The victim was not injured but shocked and distressed, the Met said.
Police are appealing for witnesses and information into the attack on September 28.
One of the males pulled down the victim's hijab before both suspects made off in the direction of Pelham Road.
The first suspect is described as a white man, aged in his late 20s or early 30s, with blond or ginger shaved hair and stubble.
The most visible form of hjab is the head covering that many Muslim women wear but it can go further. Hijab refers to the complete covering of everything except the hands, face and feet in long, loose and non see-through garments.
He was approximately 5ft 6in and wearing a burgundy coloured hooded top.
The second suspect is described as a man of Mediterranean appearance, aged in his late 20s or early 30s, clean shaven with spiky hair. He was wearing a grey hooded top.
Det Con Ben Cousin said: "This was a shocking attack in broad daylight in the middle of a busy street."
It comes ahead of National Hate Crime Awareness week on Monday, which will see police officers from across London talking to communities about concerns around hate crime.
In the past 12 months, the Met has recorded a rise in nearly all areas of hate crime.
Islamophobic attacks have seen the second largest increase, up 65% in the last year with a spate of religiously aggravated attacks on members of the public - many of whom were targeted on the presumption they were Muslim due to the clothes they were wearing.
The 24-year-old joined Livingston from Stirling on a free transfer in 2014 and made 44 appearances for the club in 2015-16, scoring 16 goals.
White scored twice in the Scottish League One play-offs against Stranraer which saw the club relegated from the Scottish Championship to League One.
He scored 31 goals in two seasons for Livingston in 88 appearances.
Sam Woodhead had failed to return to a cattle station in central Queensland on Tuesday afternoon.
Queensland Police said Mr Woodhead was a little sunburned when he was found but was hydrated and otherwise well.
Mr Woodhead, 18, reportedly from Richmond in south-west London, was reported missing by the owner of Upshot Station, where he was working.
The former Brighton College student is being returned to the cattle station for a medical assessment, before being transferred to a hospital in the nearby town, Longreach.
His sister Emma Lupton said the family had been "very distressed" during his disappearance.
"We heard this morning [that he had been found] from a family friend of ours who lives in Brisbane," she said.
"We didn't know a lot about his condition... but we know that he's been found and is safe and alive.
"You have to stay positive in these situations and you have to keep faith that he would be found."
Mr Woodhead had been in Australia for eight days when he disappeared.
Local authorities launched a search amid fears he may have become lost in the hot, isolated region. Temperatures have been around 37C (100F) in the area this week.
Rescuers searched by land and air. His mother is said to have urged police to widen their search as her son, who is a long-distance runner, could have travelled away from his base.
After former director of rugby Dean Ryan's exit on 30 June, Hogg and high performance director Nick Johnston initially shared duties.
But Warriors have opted to change things after a run of poor results.
"Giving Carl sole leadership is now right for us," O'Toole told BBC Sport.
"It all goes back to Dean Ryan's departure in the summer. When he left, aside from his considerable experience and rugby intellect, what we in effect lost at short notice just before the start of the season was his level of management.
"Carl, as head coach under Dean, was responsible for the first team. Nick was responsible for the athletes and their preparation.
"We took a decision at the time to pioneer a duo-management system, which I've heard (England boss) Eddie Jones talk about as being how the southern hemisphere does it. He's a big advocate of that type of structure.
"After six months, we reviewed it. My view, shared with my fellow directors, was that the players weren't getting it.
"Nick continues in his role, but streamlining the management by giving Carl sole leadership is the right thing to do. Ultimately, the players have to be clear about what they're here to do."
Injury-hit Warriors have won just twice in 14 matches this season, picking up only one victory and two draws in the Premiership.
Following Sunday's 26-12 home defeat by Wasps, they are 11th in the table, six points above bottom club Bristol, where they will travel on Boxing Day.
Having twice before suffered relegation since first reaching the Premiership in 2004, their current woes, although exacerbated by a large injury list, have led to criticism from frustrated fans.
O'Toole has addressed that by arranging a meeting with 40 of the club's more regular critics, and sees handling disgruntled customers as a major part of his job.
"Modern communication channels are open to everybody," he said.
"I have daily communication with supporters on Twitter, on club forums, on e-mail, telephone and text messaging. I've even had messages sent to me on Facebook Messenger from people who I'm not friends with, who insist on getting their message across and like to tell me how things can be improved.
"I didn't come to run a rugby club to hang around with the players. For me, it's about the excitement and passion of dealing with a large number of committed supporters and the environment that creates.
"People like to give their opinions and I'm here to receive them. If people come to me and communicate politely, I take it all on board. It's the old point about 'the customer is king'.
"They're not always right and some people get a bit carried away but people aren't unpleasant just for the sake of it. You know it's only because they care."
Wilson, 18, who won team and high bar gold medals, but struggled with injury at the World Championships in China earlier this month.
He withdrew from the all-around final, where replacement Max Whitlock went on to win silver.
However, he did compete in the high bar event, finishing an impressive fourth.
"Everyone has setbacks, it's how we deal with them that makes us the people or athletes we are," stated Wilson on his Facebook page.
"I will come back stronger, bigger and better."
Wilson is seen as a one of the world's leading young gymnasts, having claimed a record-breaking five European junior gold medals in early 2014, before his Commonwealth success.
Opting out of the World all-around final, which he had qualified for alongside Dan Purvis, prompted speculation that he had been substituted for Whitlock.
Rules allow nations to swap athletes as they only qualify berths for their respective nations and although Whitlock endured a difficult qualification round, his previous success suggested he was a stronger medal prospect.
British Gymnastics insisted at the time that the move was in the best interests of Wilson's long-term career.
It was a decision which was supported by medical experts this week, who insisted surgery on his right wrist was the best option for a full recovery.
The Glasgow World Cup will take place on 6 December, but many of the leading British gymnasts are expected to miss the event after a busy year of competition.
After the 2014 European, Commonwealth and World Championships Wilson and his team-mates are likely to return to action at the British Championships in early 2015.
Hundreds of school children from around the region had been due to congregate at the town's Midsteeple.
However, organisers took the decision at 15:00 on Friday to cancel the show because of safety concerns.
Director Graham Main said he understood the community would be "very disappointed" after having "worked tirelessly" to prepare for the event.
"However, the safety of audience and participants has to be our first priority and it is with this in mind that the decision has been made to cancel," he said.
All other shows will be running as programmed.
The Lions forward, 25, will play in the Challenge Cup semi-final in Montpellier despite injuring his eye in the derby defeat at Cardiff Blues.
Faletau's inclusion means the Dragons are unchanged from the team that beat Gloucester in the quarter-final.
The Dragons are hoping to win a first title since becoming a region in 2003.
Faletau came off against the Blues but the 57-cap back-rower has been passed fit for the Dragons' game in France.
Head coach Kingsley Jones is relishing the prospect of Faletau facing Montpellier's former South Africa number eight Pierre Spies.
"I know which number eight I prefer to have playing for us and that's Taulupe Faletau," said Jones.
Montpellier are second behind Clermont Auvergne in the French Top 14 table while only Italian clubs Zebre and Treviso are below Dragons in the Pro12.
Dragons have lost their last eight Pro12 games but shocked defending Challenge Cup champions Gloucester in the quarter-finals.
It is the first game for the Welsh region since their director of rugby Lyn Jones departed, and Kingsley Jones will take charge of the team following a disrupted build-up.
Former Wales Under-20 international Jack Dixon returns to the replacements' bench as the 21-year-old centre has recovered from a kidney injury.
Montpellier: Benjamin Fall; Timoci Nagusa, Robert Ebersohn, Frans Steyn, Marvin O'Connor; Demetri Catrakilis, Benoit Paillaugue; Mikheil Nariashvili, Bismarck Du Plessis, Jannie Du Plessis, Robins Tchale Watchou, Paul Willemse, Fulgence Ouedraogo (capt), Akapusi Qera, Pierre Spies.
Replacements: Mickael Ivaldi, Yvan Watremez, Davit Kubriashvili, Thibaut Privat, Wiaan Liebenberg, Nic White, Benjamin Lucas, Anthony Tuitavke.
Dragons: Carl Meyer; Adam Hughes; Tyler Morgan, Adam Warren; Hallam Amos; Dorian Jones, Sarel Pretorius; Phil Price, Elliot Dee, Brok Harris, Rynard Landman, Nick Crosswell, Lewis Evans (c), Nic Cudd, Taulupe Faletau.

The wicketkeeper collapsed while batting against Free State in a Cricket South Africa match on 15 November.
He scored more than 8,000 runs in 200 matches for Namibia in all formats.
Cricket Namibia president Richard Frankle said in a statement on the ICC website: "Raymond was a tremendous asset to the national team."
Van Schoor, who made his national team debut aged 17 in 2007, played in this summer's International Cricket Council World Twenty20 Qualifier in Scotland and Ireland, and in an ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Ireland in Windhoek last month.
He captained Namibia 40 times and was his country's cricketer of the year in 2012.
Watch the FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Tottenham live on BBC One and the BBC Sport website from 16:50 BST on Saturday.
He joins Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Jermaine Jenas at Wembley on Saturday for BBC Sport's live coverage of the Blues' FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham.
Lampard explains what could decide the battle of the Premier League's top two - and why Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli and Chelsea winger Eden Hazard are the most likely match-winners.
Media playback is not supported on this device
I've been watching Alli closely this season and he clearly has great technical ability - you can see that from his touch and from his finishing.
The magic for me, though, is his movement to get into the box without being marked.
If you watch him during games, he is always very aware of what is around him - his head is always moving and he is waiting for the right time to make his run.
That intelligence is the special thing he has that sets him apart.
Some of it is natural, but other parts of it you work on, which is why I think he will get better and better as he gets older.
That was the case with me - I worked it out. I was never the quickest player, so I knew I had to get an edge somewhere else around the box.
You only need a yard and I used to wait for people to either take their eye off me, or to switch off.
Midfield players generally don't like running back and defending around the edge of the box so I always had the idea that, if I could get in and around there and make my move at the right time, then I would get my yard.
With experience, it is something you get even better at. Alli has only just turned 21, so he can certainly do the same.
We have already seen a big improvement from Alli this season, and part of that is down to him being higher up the pitch.
He has developed into a number 10, playing behind the main striker, rather than being a number eight and a more traditional midfielder who likes getting forward.
He is so clever with his movement and clinical with his finishing, so he had to be given that free rein.
Alli is a highly intelligent player - the kind of number 10 we have been craving in England for years, and bemoaning the fact we have not got one. Now he has really arrived.

The reason he is so effective is because knowing what he does is one thing - but stopping him doing it is completely different.
It is a big ask for Chelsea to nullify Alli completely on Saturday but it will be critical to the outcome of the game.
For that to happen, it will be down to whoever plays in midfield for Chelsea - potentially N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic - to stop the service into him.
If Alli gets the ball in an attacking area, then he is dangerous whatever he does, whether it is with long shots if he is behind Harry Kane, or if he is running past Kane and arriving in the box from deep.
You cannot afford to give him any space at all and I am sure restricting that will be an absolute priority for Chelsea on Saturday.
They will obviously have to deal with Kane and what he is doing up top too, but behind him Alli will play a decisive role if the Blues allow him to.
Alli and Kane are not Tottenham's only threats, of course.
Something you have to give Spurs a lot of credit for is the number of goals they get from right through their team - but Chelsea have individual match-winners too.
I think Hazard is the outstanding player in the Premier League at the moment, closely followed by Alli. Chelsea are no one-man band, but he is the most likely to make a difference.
I know Eden pretty well after playing alongside him for a couple of seasons and he relishes these big games.
He sees them as a stage for him to show his ability and going into the semi-final I think he will be quietly confident - but still very confident - that he will have a big impact.
I think he has matured this year in particular after what was a difficult season for him, where he got some criticism. He has come back even better than he was before.
For me, he is now moving into the very top bracket of players anywhere in the world.
Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid are out on their own but Hazard is moving into that group behind them and, at 26, he is young enough to keep improving and narrow that gap.

Saturday's semi-final is between the two best teams in the Premier League.
As the table suggests, Chelsea are the only team who have played better than Tottenham this season, and there are definite similarities between them.
Both teams are well drilled and very well coached. Both have total trust in their systems, which is something their managers have to take credit for.
If I had analysed Tottenham a few years ago, I would have said 'good players, and they might have a good cup run - but they are not going to win the league'.
Now, with the players they have got and the way they are playing, they have elevated themselves into a situation where they are contenders.
It means they need to win trophies. That is pressure, but it is a good kind of pressure.
In their situation, they have to look at what can they win so they have something to show for this season - and the FA Cup is still their best chance of silverware.
Many of Chelsea's players were at the club when they won the title two years ago, but this Tottenham team is still waiting for their first major honour.
Whatever you win, your first trophy gives the whole club confidence. At Chelsea, when we won the League Cup in 2005, it made us believe we could be winners.
Jose Mourinho has to take credit for that. When he took over in 2004 he told us that we were winners in waiting, but we needed to cross that last hurdle to actually do it.
Being a team that wins things is not just down to how you perform on the pitch, although that is obviously the most important part.
It is also about the mentality around the club every day and I think that changes once you get some silverware. You get the taste of it - and you want more.
I was 25 when I won my first trophy. It changed me because from then on I demanded more of myself - and it changed Chelsea as a club.
Spurs have won trophies down the years, of course, but nowhere near enough compared with Chelsea.
Tottenham went close to winning the title last year but there are only so many times you can go close. Now is their time as a team where they have to make that breakthrough.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The improvement of individuals in this Spurs team has been huge in the past couple of years, but winning something is the next step they have to take.
They have to, if they want to keep the likes of Kane and Alli on a long-term basis.
Looking back at my FA Cup semi-finals, I did not really enjoy any of them in the moment because there was too much pressure. I could only do that at the final whistle, if we had won.
I hope the teams don't cancel each other out on Saturday because semi-finals can become nervy occasions where you are afraid of defeat.
But there are enough good individuals on the pitch for both teams to make things entertaining, no matter what.
That doesn't mean there will be lots of goals because they are two pretty evenly matched teams, but I think we are going to have a close game and an enjoyable one too.
The biggest games are highly pressurised situations and Tottenham did not handle things well when they played on a big stage at Wembley in the Champions League this season.
But I think Saturday will be different. A derby in a semi-final at Wembley creates a very different atmosphere.
You know in a normal game - a league game - most of the time losing is not the end. There will be more opportunities to come later in the season where you can put things right.
But a semi-final is a one-off and I played them on a knife-edge - particularly against opponents like Spurs.
I know the feelings between the clubs - from the players to the fans - because whenever I played for Chelsea against Tottenham there was an extra edge to it.
There was a hostile atmosphere whenever we went to White Hart Lane or they came to Stamford Bridge, so I know this will not be your bog-standard semi-final - far from it, in fact.

Giles Scott, spurred on by the disappointment of missing out on London 2012 to Sir Ben Ainslie, will head to Rio in August as the world's best in the Finn class.
There, the 29-year-old is a strong favourite to win his first Olympic gold and he is hopeful that such an achievement would end all conversations of whether or not he can emulate Great Britain's greatest ever sailor.
"Every single time I speak to anybody in the media, I am compared to Ben," Scott told BBC Sport. "I'm not Ben Ainslie, I just happen to be the guy that tried to beat him and failed.
"I'm not really sure I'll ever step out of his shadow because of everything he's done. It's not the reason why I'm trying to win the Olympics - it's more personal than that."
For many British athletes, London 2012 was the pinnacle of their careers. For Scott, a home Olympics were anything but pleasing.
While Ainslie was competing in the America's Cup following his third Olympic win in Beijing in 2008, Scott was making a name for himself in the Finn class.
However, Ainslie returned and won a series of regattas to secure his place at the Games. Scott finished agonisingly close behind in all of the races and, with only one boat per class selected, he missed out on qualification.
"On the water it was war," he said. "It turned into a proper sporting battle.
"In the build up to 2012, Ben had had 16 years of dominance and he spent his time trying to assert that.
"I was the little nipper that was trying to break it down the whole time. I wasn't a million miles away but that doesn't matter because it wasn't enough."
Though Weymouth-based Scott admitted his rival deserved his place, he felt the hurt of being unable to compete at an Olympic Games in his own backyard.
"I made myself stay down there and see what it was all about but I didn't enjoy it," he recalled.
Scott switched from Laser class to the Finn class in 2007 and was part of a training group that assisted Ainslie before the 2008 Olympics.
Just 20 at the time and of little threat to his mentor, the Huntingdon-born sailor explained how much advice Ainslie gave him compared to four years later as the two fought for London 2012 qualification.
Far from resentment and bitterness between the two, Scott is part of Ainslie's America's Cup team - Land Rover BAR - and will work as a full-time tactician after the Olympics.
"We get on really well," Scott said. "There's a lot of mutual respect and Ben's just Ben.
"We've been fierce competitors in the past and I would have liked it to be my time in 2012, but it wasn't to be.
"There's no way Ben would have been a pushover in my position. I think he respects that in me."
For all of the comparisons, Scott has shown his own ability and skill - winning his fourth World Championship title in May to move one behind Ainslie's tally of five.
Having clinched Olympic qualification in October 2015, he is clear on his objective for Rio.
"I would like to come away with a gold medal," he said. "That is the campaign that my coach and I put together four years ago. Hopefully I can have my time."
For Olympic sailors there is a great deal of importance on being well acquainted with conditions - typical wind patterns, the tidal stream and the general environment.
Over the past two and a half years, Scott has spent in excess of 120 days in Rio acclimatising to a challenging course.
Organisers have been forced to put in additional race areas, in case the designated ones are too polluted, while the threat of the Zika virus remains.
"There are a lot of signs all around about the Zika virus, there is a reasonable amount of panic around," Scott explained.
"It's a huge risk and there is not a great deal we can do about it, there's no medicine you can take.
"The biggest worry is picking up some bacterial infection from the water and not being able to race."
Retailers reported incentives being offered for actions such as maintaining stock availability, trialling new stock and promoting brands.
They told the research team these bonuses had become more prevalent since the ban.
The research is a collaboration between the universities of Stirling, St Andrews and Edinburgh.
They carried out the work with social research institute ScotCen. The report will be published in the journal Tobacco Control.
The researchers said: "There was a perception among some retailers that whereas before the display ban they had had to work 'extremely hard' to qualify for points or bonuses, after the ban simply having specified brands in stock was sufficient."
The ban on the display of cigarettes and other tobacco products was extended to smaller shops in Scotland in April 2015.
The researchers interviewed a sample of 24 retailers, including convenience stores, newsagents and petrol stations.
Most of them - 17 out of 24 - said they had been given assistance by tobacco suppliers to adapt their display unit to comply with the new rules.
These require tobacco products to be kept out of sight behind doors or covers.
"The rationale for bans on tobacco promotions and displays at point of sale is to reduce the ability of tobacco companies to exploit the retail environment in this way," the report said.
"However, this study demonstrates that display bans do not prevent them from attempting to exert influence on retailers via their sales reps."
Incentives were often incorporated into existing "partnership" or "loyalty" schemes, with points redeemable against cash or gifts, including hospitality, iPads, and business equipment.
The study's lead author, Martine Stead, added: "The tobacco companies rely on retailers even more to promote tobacco now that displays are covered up.
"They are still offering them payments and rewards, including substantial lump sums to make verbal recommendations to customers to try a particular brand."

Brent's Akkeron Group reached an agreement with administrators over fees owed to them on Friday.
Football League Chairman, Greg Clarke, said: "I would like to welcome James Brent to The Football League and thank him for the efforts he has made to help save Plymouth Argyle Football Club."
Brent said: "There's a huge amount to be done to rebuild the club."
He told BBC South West: "The first focus is to pay the staff their first full month's wages for a very long time.
"Then it's trying to rebuild performances on the pitch and the financial position of the club."
This is the greatest day in the club's history and the most important
And Brent says he will help fund a resurgence in the club's fortunes.
"We have the financial power to do it, but we've been very open that we would like like-minded people to join us.
"What I won't do is part with control of the club until it's properly stabilised," he added.
Argyle have been in financial difficulties for almost a year and formally went into administration in March.
Since then acting chairman Peter Ridsdale has been trying to find a buyer for the club, who are bottom of the Football League.
"I'm pleased for all the staff and players who have been living on a knife edge for so long," said Ridsdale.
"It's very comforting as a city of this size needs a professional football club. I think the staff are still taking it in.
"It's been a long time coming and it's not something you can take on board that easily after such a long time but everyone is very happy."
Ridsdale has been confirmed as the chairman of football at Argyle under Brent's regime after assisting at the club since last season.
Under Brent's deal Plymouth City Council will buy Home Park stadium for £1.6m from Brent, who will use the money to help fund the club.
Argyle's takeover has been a protracted affair, with Bishop International, a Gibraltar-based consortium fronted by Truro City chairman Kevin Heaney, the front runners to buy the club for a number of months.
But BIL failed to complete their takeover during a period of exclusivity they had, leading to other bidders being given the chance to come in.
Brent, who had wanted to take the club over since the summer, was the fans' preferred bidder and took the front seat once his plan to sell Home Park to Plymouth City Council was approved.
He and his team have spent much of the past fortnight trying to get every person owed money by Argyle to sign up a repayment deal.
Plymouth have won just two games all season and are five points adrift of safety at the bottom of League Two.
The club sacked manager Peter Reid last month and installed captain Carl Fletcher as caretaker manager.
"This is the greatest day in the club's history and the most important in the club's history in my point of view," said Plymouth Argyle Fans Trust chairman Chris Webb after news of the agreement was confirmed on Friday.
"Everything that the staff, players, and supporters have sacrificed has been made worthwhile.
"We want to see this as a new dawn for Argyle with fans coming back through the gates and local businesses re-investing commercially."
And Webb hoped that the club's supporters would be able to back the side as they concentrate on getting off the bottom of the Football League.
"We need to make sure that all our passion from the past few months off the pitch is put into our support on the terraces for the team on the pitch to try and keep us in League Two," he added.
Florent Ibenge's side, who went on strike over unpaid bonuses on Friday, almost trailed early on at Stade d'Oyem when Mbark Boussoufa struck the bar.
Junior Kabananga put them ahead before substitute Lomalisa Mutambala was booked twice in 16 minutes.
Morocco's Youssef El-Arabi missed with two headed chances late on.
The substitute glanced wide from a set-piece delivery and then met a cross cleanly to force a parry from DR Congo keeper Ley Matampi.
The Leopards were down to nine men for several minutes in the closing stages when they lost defender Gabriel Zakuani to injury having made all of their substitutions.
The Northampton Town player returned for six minutes of injury time, as Ibenge's side saw out pressure to ensure Kabananga's guided finish from 10 yards put them top of their group.
Morocco - managed by two-time Cup of Nations winner Herve Renard - are bottom of the group after the first round of fixtures, as defending champions Ivory Coast and Togo drew 0-0 earlier in the day.
Renard, who guided Zambia to the title in 2012 and Ivory Coast in 2015, has been told by the country's FA that reaching the quarter-finals is a minimum requirement.
But despite managing 62% of possession and 15 shots against a side eight places above them in Fifa's rankings, they were unable to turn their numerical advantage into a positive start.

They want planning for the imposing of new junior doctors' contracts in England to be postponed for five days.
In return, the British Medical Association is asked to suspend for five days any new threats of strikes.
The BMA said it was prepared to agree, but the government said it was too late to suspend bringing the contracts in.
However, the "door remains open" for talks, the Department of Health said.
The colleges' joint statement, calling for what it calls a pause in the dispute so talks can resume, has been put out under the umbrella of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges.
Professor Dame Sue Bailey, its chairwoman, said: "A five-day pause without 'ifs, buts or maybes', and with both sides in the dispute publicly committing to a serious attempt to reach a resolution through genuine dialogue, is obviously the only way out of this impasse."
Talks over the controversial new contract broke down in February.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt accused the BMA of refusing to negotiate over Saturday pay and said he would press on with introducing the contract.
The BMA said there were wider unresolved issues over working hours and it was unfair to impose a contract rather than continuing discussions.
Between January and early April there were four strikes by junior doctors in England affecting routine but not urgent care.
Last week there were two one-day strikes affecting all forms of care, including emergencies - the first such action in the history of the NHS.
Consultants and senior nursing staff covered gaps caused by the walkouts and hospitals reported no problems with providing essential care.
The junior doctors' committee of the BMA is meeting on Saturday to discuss its next move, including the possibility of escalating the industrial action.
Until now there has been no prospect of further talks between the BMA and the government.
Dr Johann Malawana, BMA junior doctor committee chairman, said: "The government itself has admitted that there are serious, outstanding issues with the proposed contract.
"As such, the BMA would be prepared to agree to this proposal and temporarily suspend industrial action so that talks can resume with a mutually agreed facilitator, if the government is also prepared to suspend the threat of imposition."
A Department of Health spokesperson said: "It is now too late to change the process of bringing in contracts which is well under way throughout the country.
"However, the door remains open to talk about implementation and many other non-contractual issues of concern to junior doctors - so if this intervention helps those talks to go ahead, we welcome that."
The academy statement was backed by the NHS Confederation, which represents leading health organisations.
Rob Webster, its chief executive, said: "We welcome the academy's proposal to create a safe space for a conversation between the parties about how we find a way out of this dispute.
"Both sides should give serious consideration to an approach that would find support from across managerial and clinical leaders."
General Medical Council chairman Professor Terence Stephenson said: "We would support any initiative that sought to bring both sides together to resolve the issues before putting patients at further risk of harm."
The Red Hands go into the weekend fixtures leading Dublin by a point, with Donegal and Monaghan a further point in arrears.
Mickey Harte includes Mark Bradley after the forward's impressive role as a sub in last weekend's win over Cavan.
Monaghan will be expected to stay in touch by beating Roscommon on Sunday.
Kevin McStay's side have lost their opening four games and another defeat in Inniskeen could confirm their relegation.
In addition to Bradley's inclusion in place of Darren McCurry, Mickey Harte has made three other changes from last weekend.
With the manager continuing his goalkeeping rotation policy, Mickey O'Neill replaces Niall Morgan with Ronan McNamee and Declan McClure taking over from Aidan McCrory and Padraig McNulty at full-back and midfield.
Monaghan boss Malachy O'Rourke has made three changes from the defeat by Tyrone two weeks ago as Dessie Ward, Shane Carey and fit-again Darren Hughes return to the line-up.
Dermot Malone is suspended following his straight red card at Healy Park while Owen Coyle and Thomas Kerr drop to the bench.
Cavan badly need a win in Sunday's game against Mayo in Castlebar to keep alive their hopes of avoiding relegation but manager Mattie McGleenan will be without Padraig Faulkner while Seanie Johnston is also an injury doubt.
Faulkner is likely to miss the remainder of the league after being injured in the defeat by Donegal earlier this month.
Mayo boss Stephen Rochford has made four changes for the heavy defeat by Dublin with Brendan Harrison, Danny Kirby, Conor O'Shea and Conor Loftus replacing Stephen Coen, Jason Gibbons, Diarmuid O'Connor and Evan Regan.
In Division Two, Down will aim for a third straight win when they face table toppers Kildare at Pairc Esler on Saturday night.
A win would move Down level on points with the Lilywhites although Galway and Clare go into the weekend only a point behind the leaders.
Eamon Burns will be without Gerard McGovern, who was injured in the win over Derry.
Niall Donnelly could be the man to replace McGovern while Jerome Johnston could be handed a start after coming on in recent games.
Kildare boss Cian O'Neill has made one change from the hammering of Fermanagh as Cathal McNally replaces Neil Flynn in the attack.
Fermanagh badly need a win over promotion contenders Clare to ease their relegation worries.
The Ernemen won their opening game against Down but have since been well beaten by Galway, Cork and Kildare.
Manager Pete McGrath makes four changes from the 4-14 to 0-14 hammering by Kildare as goalkeeper Thomas Treacy, Kane Connor, Conor Murphy and Ryan Lyons replace Chris Snow, James McMahon, Declan McCusker and Ryan McCluskey.
Derry's hammering by Down two weeks ago left them in the second relegation spot and was quite a jolt after their previous win over Kildare.
The Oak Leafers have been without a host of regulars during the campaign, including Chrissy McKaigue and other Slaughtneil players.
Galway manager Kevin Walsh has named an unchanged team despite their defeat by Meath two weeks ago, with Damien Comer again ruled out by injury.
In Division Three, Armagh boss Kieran McGeeney has named an unchanged team from their 6-22 to 0-10 hammering of Offaly for their derby game with Louth at Drogheda.
Louth have won their opening four games which leaves them three points ahead of Armagh, who occupy third spot.
A Louth victory could guarantee them promotion in addition to leaving Armagh's promotion hopes hanging by a thread.

Fishermen and beach-goers, along with the police and the navy, helped get the 20-metre-long mammal safely back out to deeper water.
Emma Crossman, 21, was found dead at her home in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, on 15 January 2014. She had left a suicide note.
Lincoln Crown Court heard Amelia Caller, 22, of Great Hale, near Sleaford, was "obsessed and infatuated" with Miss Crossman.
She denies a charge of encouraging or assisting her friend to commit suicide.
Mark McKone, prosecuting, told the court there was no dispute that the defendant supplied a gas that Miss Crossman used to kill herself.
He said Miss Caller was pleading not guilty on the basis she did not think her friend would take her own life.
Mr McKone said: "The prosecution say that Amelia Caller assisted her in her suicide by supplying her with the... gas in an act of misguided loyalty."
The court heard Miss Crossman had a history of depression, self-harm and tablet overdoses.
Mr McKone said the two women had been close friends since they were teenagers.
The court heard they had exchanged Facebook and text messages discussing suicide.
In one message Miss Caller asked for one last day out together - "best friends having final fun day", Mr McKone said.
Miss Crossman's mother Sharon Parr told the court her daughter had taken an overdose of co-codamol in June 2013 but she thought this was a cry for attention.
She said after her daughter had split up with her boyfriend Emma and Millie "were seeing each other a bit too much".
But Mrs Parr said she did not believe her daughter wanted to die.
"Emma never wanted to die. She didn't," Mrs Parr said.
When asked about her daughter's relationship with Miss Caller she said: "Milly would do anything for her, she didn't even have to ask. Milly would just do it."
The trial is expected to last seven days.
Jail officials in Rawalpindi said Mr Lakhvi was released on Friday morning.
India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh has called the release "unfortunate and disappointing", Indian media reports say.
Mr Lakhvi had been granted bail in December, but was kept in detention under public order legislation.
That detention was declared void by the High Court, which ordered his release.
Mr Lakhvi still faces trial - along with six other suspects - over the attacks, which left 166 people dead and damaged peace efforts between the two countries.
Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi's trial in the Mumbai attacks case still continues, but his release on bail suggests the legal evidence presented in court by prosecutors may not be enough for a conviction.
This contrasts with six years ago, when the interior minister at the time, Rehman Malik, provided graphic details of how a part of the Mumbai attacks conspiracy was hatched in Pakistan. Indian officials have since said that they also handed evidence against Mr Lakhvi and his comrades to Pakistani prosecutors.
Apparently, most of this evidence has not been made part of the case record, indicating legal complications and also perhaps a lack of interest on the part of Pakistani authorities.
Analysts say legal technicalities may be one factor behind his release. Another factor, according to some in the intelligence community, may be the fear in security circles that his "demobilisation" may hurt the morale of Kashmir-focused insurgents, something they say the government does not wish to see.
Profile: Lashkar-e-Taiba
The Mumbai attacks were blamed on militants of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group (LeT) which Mr Lakhvi was accused of heading.
He was arrested by Pakistan on 7 December 2008, four days after he was named by Indian officials as one of the major suspects.
A spokesman for Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a charity accused of links to LeT, said Mr Lakhvi was "free now and in a secure place".
"We can't say exactly where is he at the moment for security reasons," the official told AFP.
Mr Lakhvi had been receiving special treatment during his time in prison.
Jail officers said he, along with six of his comrades, had several rooms at their disposal. They had access to a television, mobile phones and the internet, as well as dozens of visitors a day.
These privileges had allowed him to remain in effective contact with the LeT rank and file, the officials said.
Elements in the Pakistani establishment are known to have provided such facilities to jailed militant commanders whom they believe they may need in future.
The court order to free Mr Lakhvi on bail caused controversy as it came just after militants carried out a massacre at a school in Peshawar last December.
The attack prompted the civilian and military leadership to come together to make a rare call for action against "all shades of terrorism".
Despite being bombarded by sexually suggestive photos, explicit lyrics and raunchy dance moves in the media, many women are brought up with the socially conservative attitude that "good girls" just do not talk about sex.
But Iheoma Obibi is leading a mini-revolution in bedrooms in the West African nation.
She became the country's first retailer of sexual health products and erotica after getting requests from friends to buy sex toys on her annual trips to London.
"They were asking me to buy vibrators, nipple suckers, lubricants, water-based lubricants which were non-flavoured, specifically with a pH balance for the female genitalia."
Realising there was a niche market, the former development worker set up her online shop five years ago.
It was not easy at first - and she had to build up a clientele while fending off the critics.
One became so threatening she needed police protection.
But luckily that is a thing of the past and she now caters primarily for women, and some men, whose ages range from 20 to 70.
Ms Obibi also provides sex education and awareness sessions online under the hashtag #Sextalk.
It is for anyone with questions or a curiosity about issues from how to find one's G-spot to explaining an orgasm, even suggesting positions.
"Part of the problem we face in Nigeria and Africa generally, is that women are shy about negotiating their sexual pleasure," she says.
"What we are told is you have to save yourself for your marriage and be a virgin. When you marry, you are there to satisfy your husband.
"You are not really told that you are there for any pleasurable fulfilment. You're told that you have sex for procreation."

But now some women are having conversations with their partners and the market in sex aids in Nigeria is growing.
The reaction of men is not always positive, some regarding this sexual openness with suspicion, derision, anger and even sometimes disgust.
Or it is a question of dented pride, not wanting to admit they have never quite hit the right spot with their wife or girlfriend?
Not surprisingly, sex-toy sellers admit to having many customers who buy and use aids in secret.
Anticipating a negative reaction, some women in search of sexual pleasure use other means to gain that satisfaction.
Some turn to the work of Chioma Ogwuegbu, a statistician by profession, who writes hard-core erotic fiction in her spare time.
She contributes to a Nigeria erotic website, and she and other writers cannot keep up with the demand.
Ms Ogwuegbu makes no apologies for the writing, which some might say borders on soft porn.
"It's not an intellectual exercise. I'm not trying to win a Nobel prize," she says.
"The first story that I published on this website, was one of the best stories. It had the highest hits. And the thing that struck me about that story is that it was focused on the woman's pleasure.
"It was about the woman having orgasms."
These fictional stories depict fantasies that many Nigerian women can only imagine.
She says it is content that mainly appeals to women who are in their 30s and older, who are more sexually mature.
"As I became more sexually aware, I actually became more comfortable in my decisions about sex and sexuality, being able to own them and say: 'Fine I have sex, it's OK, it's not a crime to have sexual desires, sexual pleasure.'"
For JB Macauley, a man in his 60s who I spoke to at a social club in Lagos, acknowledging a woman's needs is perhaps something the younger generation will take in their stride.
"I can believe that the younger guys are more experimental - we are just coming of the sexual darkness, but we'll get there," he said.
His younger friend agreed: "We've been brought up with the same sexual habit and the same environment, but I think our generation is prepared to be a bit flexible."
Ms Obibi realises such views are probably in the minority.
But every day she is called by at least one new customer enquiring about the products she sells and how they can bring sexual fulfilment.
Many of her clients are still in relationships where it is impossible to even consider discussing or negotiating a simple touch - let alone a new position.
"For many women unfortunately it comes very, very late in life - the awareness that their bodies can give them pleasure."
They want it to include underground coal gasification (UCG), a technique used to produce gas from coal seams deep underground.
The groups claimed it was the most "experimental and frightening method".
The Scottish government said it was taking a "careful, considered and evidence-based approach".
It also said many powers relating to UCG were reserved to Westminster.
The Scottish government announced in January that it was imposing a moratorium on granting consents for shale gas and coalbed methane developments in Scotland while further research and a public consultation was carried out.
The moratorium did not include underground coal gasification, which campaigners have claimed raises similar environmental and public health concerns to shale gas and coalbed methane techniques.
Supporters of UCG argue that it is a way of providing cleaner energy, diversity of supply and energy security for the UK.
There are already plans to exploit remaining coal reserves deep beneath the Firth of Forth and the Solway.
Energy company Cluff Natural Resources has estimated there are up to 335 million tonnes of coal under the seabed of the Forth alone.
It wants to build the UK's first deep offshore UCG plant to exploit the coal seams.
In a robust response to the anti-fracking groups, Cluff said there had been more than 100 UCG projects worldwide since the technology was first demonstrated in the 1930s, and that, when done properly, "there are no inherent risks associated with the process or the technologies employed in UCG".
Andrew Nunn, the group's chief operating officer, added: "Typically, the ill-informed opponents of UCG choose to focus on a small number of negative outcomes during the developmental phases of the technology rather than the opportunities that a well-designed and operated UCG project could bring to the people of Scotland in the form of more competitive local industry, new employment opportunities, local tax revenue and energy security.
"These increasingly extreme groups oppose practically all forms of energy development in Scotland and do not represent the vast majority of the population.
"They have no democratic legitimacy and should not be allowed to dictate government policy, which works to the benefit of the entire nation.
"The misleading and increasingly inflammatory language they use is deliberately designed to instil an unwarranted sense of fear and unease in communities for their own political ends, which is a great disservice to those they claim to represent."
But the anti-fracking groups have written to Energy Minister Fergus Ewing calling for him to halt the UCG industry in its tracks.
The letter has been signed by organisations including Friends of the Earth, the Unison union and the Women's Environmental Network, as well as a number of community anti-fracking groups and academics.
It expressed their "grave concern" that UCG is not currently covered by the scope of the Scottish government's moratorium.
And it said Scottish ministers already had sufficient powers to impose a moratorium on UCG.
The letter said: "While we are disappointed that Coal Authority licensing is not proposed to be devolved to Holyrood under the Smith Commission, we note that the means of imposing a moratorium on unconventional oil and gas developments - ensuring that no planning permissions or environmental permits are granted for these developments - could equally be applied to underground coal gasification."
Mary Church, head of Campaigns at Friends of the Earth Scotland, claimed UCG was the "most experimental and frightening method of unconventional gas extraction currently threatening Scottish communities."
She also said recent trials around the world had gone "badly wrong", and described the climate impact of the technology as "simply unacceptable".
"It makes no sense for a country with ambitious climate targets and the means to achieve them with renewables to flirt with such a risky form of energy production." she added.
"Communities threatened with Cluff's plans to ignite the coal under the Forth are asking why hasn't the Scottish government acted to protect them in the way that communities facing shale gas fracking and coal bed methane drilling are.
"The case to include underground coal gasification in the new moratorium and planned work on health and environmental impacts of unconventional gas is crystal clear, and the means of doing so totally within the power of the Scottish government."
In response, the Scottish government said its "careful, considered and evidence-based approach" had been underpinned by the recent moratorium announcement, which outlined its plans for a full public consultation and further research.
A spokesman said: "The moratorium is specifically about onshore unconventional oil and gas developments, including fracking - further to confirmation by the UK government that it would devolve onshore licensing powers for these types of development.
"Many of the relevant powers relating to underground coal gasification remain with Westminster and the licensing regime is not being devolved, though we will work with Sepa and all relevant regulators to ensure we have the appropriate controls and regulations to protect the environment.
"The Scottish government will continue to take an evidence-based approach to the development of new energy technologies, which should give security and confidence to the people of Scotland that such resources would be developed in an environmentally safe and satisfactory way."
The comic tweeted the vehicle was "nicked" from outside the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Tuesday.
The Mercedes Sprinter van was stolen from the car park on Hope Street at about 15:00 GMT, Merseyside Police said.
Officers believe the keys were stolen from an office.
The comic's manager said two laptops were also taken.
The van contained crew suitcases and Bill Bailey tour merchandise.
A spokesperson for the performer said the show went on "regardless of the chaos this has caused to our tour", adding it had "sadly tainted our visit to the good city of Liverpool".
The rise, from 32.36% of total playing time in 2013-14 to 36.08% until 1 October, can be solely attributed to newly promoted Burnley, who used just one non-UK player.

Take away the Clarets and the second annual State of the Game study found restricted opportunities for English players at the top clubs.
State of the Game comes six months after Football Association chairman Greg Dyke announced his plan to get more English players playing in the Premier League with the ultimate aim of winning the 2022 World Cup.
Former Chelsea player Michael Woods, signed by Jose Mourinho aged 16 in a £5m deal but now 24 and playing for Hartlepool, called for an English player quota to give domestic players a chance.
But BBC Sport pundit Robbie Savage said if you were "good enough you will make it", while former England boss Graham Taylor said the "foreign influx could not be stopped".

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and champions Manchester City used the most non-UK players in the league.
Argentines were the big movers, up to the third most represented non-UK country after France and Spain, and now outnumber Welsh players in the Premier League.
The 2013-14 top eight used 44 new signings this season during the matches analysed by the study - and 33 were foreigners.
A quarter of the 373 foreign players in the top flight played fewer than 10 games last season.
Burnley used the most English players (13) while Chelsea, Stoke and Man City each used the least (three).
In 2013-14 just five English players took part in all 38 matches.
The study analysed the total minutes played by each nationality in the Premier League, Championship and Scottish Premiership to 1 October, as well as last season's data.
Scottish players had more time on the pitch in the Premier League this season, up from 3.68% to 4.87%, the fourth highest total.
Wales slipped to 10th, down from 3.11% to 2.45% of playing time, while Northern Ireland came 13th after a fall from 1.79% to 1.53%.
In the Scottish Premiership, Scottish players spent fewer minutes on the pitch, from 55.66% to 50.78% of the total.
England's Championship saw the percentage of minutes by English players fall to 46.38% from 52.11% last season.

September 2013 FA Commission is set up on how to improve the national team's fortunes. Aim set for 45% of Premier League players to be English by 2022. England last at this level in 2000. It was 69% 20 years ago.

May 2014 Four-point plan is put forward by FA: a new tier within the Football League for Premier League B teams, a reduction of non-homegrown players in squads from 17 to 12, a cap on non-EU players and "strategic loan partnerships" between clubs.
June 2014 England are knocked out of the World Cup at the group stage for the first time in 56 years.
September 2014 Close of a record transfer window, with Premier League clubs spending £835m, with 63% of that going on foreign stars. FA releases draft proposals to reduce the number of non-EU players by 50% through tighter visa controls.
Robbie Savage, BBC Sport pundit: "The easiest thing to say is that, if an English player or a British player doesn't make it, his excuse is 'well, they bought a foreign player'. It is a ready-made excuse.
"You are not telling me now that if Everton had bought a youngster from a foreign club that would have stopped Ross Barkley from coming through?"
Dan Jones, partner at accountants Deloitte UK's Sports Business Group: "It's a virtuous circle. You have the best TV deals, which gives clubs the ability to bring the best players here.

"Because the best players are here, more people watch on TV which means the TV deal goes up. The Premier League has been in that circle for at least the last 15 years if not 20."
Graham Taylor, former England boss: "We have to understand we are not going to stop the foreign influx in our game, particularly with European laws.
"When I was manager I could see a game and 15 or 16 on the pitch were English, now it is the other way around."
Michael Woods, who left Chelsea in 2011 without making a league appearance: "I don't think introducing three English players in each team would detract from the Premier league being the best in the world. You're still going to have your Sergio Agueros, your Luis Suarezes."
Click here to read Woods tell his story in intimate and emotional detail.
Sean Dyche, Burnley boss: "[The number of English players at Burnley] is not done by design. Nowadays you need a more European-based recruitment staff and we've had to build that.
"The challenge has been more financial than the actual thought of whether they are British players or not."
Study group the CIES Football Observatory last week reported that Europe's big five leagues had an average foreign player ratio of 45.9%, with Ligue 1 at 31.6%, Spain 38.9%, Germany 43.5% and Italy 54.8%.
According to State of the Game, the Premier League's non-UK ratio is 55.07% and 63.92% for non-English.
In 2002, German officials launched an overhaul of their youth system, an intervention heralded as a key moment in their journey to winning the 2014 World Cup.
Lutz Pfannenstiel, first-team scout at Bundesliga club Hoffenheim, said: "We were like other European countries, signing foreigners for the sake of it. When we restructured we decided as a country to go for young players and if possible German.
"Now any player from another country has to be absolutely outstanding. We no longer see the point in taking a player we can maybe find at the same level in Germany."
Plans include only allowing children to start primary school once they have reached the age of four and moving to monthly bin collections.
Outsourcing waste collection, franchising school catering services and halving funding for Powys theatres are also being considered.
Council leader Barry Thomas said "very difficult choices" had to be made.
Other proposals include:
The cuts are in addition to reductions of nearly £40m the authority has made since 2012.
Mr Thomas said: "The cabinet's proposals will now be taken forward to a budget seminar for all members of council on 16th September, and later in September, the public will be consulted by an online budget simulator.
"This is a process where the public can indicate their priorities for achieving the required saving of £27m, and the outcome of this process will provide vital information for the cabinet and council to consider as the budget process moves forward."
The 27-year-old man's body was found at an address on Bottom Boat Road, Stanley, at about 09:35 GMT on Thursday.
West Yorkshire Police said he had "suffered serious stab injuries".
Appealing for information, Det Supt Elizabeth Belton, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "This is a very serious incident which is now being treated as a murder enquiry."
She added: "A forensic post-mortem [examination] will take place to determine the exact cause of death but it is apparent the victim suffered stab injuries some time before he was found."

Despite the pro-Argentina stance of the game, the developers say they mean no disrespect.
Argentina claims sovereignty over the Falklands, but last month islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain British.
The game opens with a promotional video that says "in 1982, Argentines fought the English to claim back the sovereignty of the Malvinas" - the Spanish name for the islands.
As in any Counter Strike game, there are two opposing groups of four players: police and terrorists.
In the Falklands version, the Argentines are the police and start the game in the Argentine Cemetery.
Their foes have their base in Port Stanley, the Falklands capital, but it is identified with its Argentine name, Puerto Argentino.
The Argentine web hosting company responsible for the online game told the BBC it was not seeking controversy, but wanted to honour Argentine troops who died in the 1982 Falklands conflict.
"It's a tribute. We wanted to honour our fallen heroes. We went to the Malvinas last year and deposited a bottle in the cemetery, full of messages people left for the soldiers," Dattatec press officer Fernando Llorente told the BBC.
Local landmarks are reproduced in the game, but no Union flags can be seen.
"In the Malvinas map, there are no English flags on show due to the respect, glory and honour to the fallen," the company's press release says.
The game's release comes amid tension over the islands, as Argentina continues its diplomatic campaign for sovereignty.
On Tuesday, Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman asked the United Nations to mediate in the dispute.
Mr Timerman presented his case at meetings with the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, and the head of the UN Decolonisation Committee, Diego Morejon.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has also asked the newly elected Pope Francis, who is Argentine, to intercede in the dispute.
In a two-day referendum on the Falkland Islands earlier this month, just three residents out of 1,517 voted against remaining British.
In 1982 Argentina's military invaded the Falklands but was repulsed by a British task force.
An estimated 650 Argentines, 255 British servicemen and three islanders died in the conflict.
Output, new orders and employment numbers all declined in February among manufacturing firms surveyed on behalf of Ulster Bank.
Its monthly Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) says the NI manufacturing sector "is enduring more difficult conditions than its counterpart in Great Britain".
However, the NI service sector is "outperforming" its UK equivalent.
As a result, overall the private sector has maintained a "solid start to the year".
New orders picked up to their fastest rate in eight months.
The bank's chief economist, Richard Ramsey, said: "It should be remembered that whilst Northern Ireland is enjoying stronger rates of growth than the UK as a whole this is from a lower base.
"We are playing catch-up. Our recovery until now has been slower and is therefore at a less advanced stage."
The bank's monthly PMI is a survey of firms that tracks indicators such as new orders, employment and exports.
The double Grand Slam winning coach led the Lions to their first series win for 16 years in Australia in 2013.
Lions chief executive John Feehan confirmed the 52-year-old was the "leading contender" for the three-Test Tour to Gatland's native New Zealand.
Gatland said: "If I was offered the job it would be difficult to turn down."
Joe Schmidt, who led Ireland to Six Nations titles in 2014 and 2015, is the most likely challenger to fellow Kiwi Gatland as coach for the 2017 tour.
But the Ireland boss insists he is not considering the Lions job because his contract does not allow it, describing it as a "moot point".
The Lions, who have won just one series against the All Blacks in eight tours, will play three Tests against the world champions as well as facing all five of New Zealand's Super Rugby franchises.
Asked about a possible Lions duel with his compatriot Schmidt, Gatland joked: "He can have the job if he wants!
"It's the hardest place in the world to go and play, not just from a rugby perspective but from a travel and organisation perspective. Looking at that schedule of New Zealand, if I wasn't involved it wouldn't bother me.
"It is such a tough schedule for five or six weeks - five Super Rugby sides, the New Zealand Maoris, three Tests and other games.
"There's probably a part of me that says please don't pick me to be the Lions coach. I'd rather go and enjoy it as a spectator."
Only Ian McGeechan has coached more than one post-war Lions tour and Gatland, who led Wasps to Heineken Cup success in 2004, was his assistant on their 2-1 series defeat in South Africa in 2009.
Connor Beck had last been seen in Lochmaben High Street at about 09:30.
A major search operation was carried out and the public was asked to check sheds and outhouses in the area for the Lochmaben Primary pupil.
Police confirmed in late afternoon that the boy had been traced unharmed.
In 2005 officers were alerted to 365 fires in the capital, but last year there were only 112 - a fall of 69%.
The 572 calls to Brigade Control on Bonfire Night in 2014 were down 58% on 5 November 2005, when 1,372 were made.
More people tend to go to organised displays now rather than letting off their own fireworks, an LFB spokesman said when asked to interpret the data.
"It's fantastic that people are heeding our safety advice and reducing the number of calls and fires we have on 5 November," said operations director Dave Brown.
Updates on this story and more from London
Nearly 1,000 fires were attended across London over the Diwali, Halloween, and Bonfire Night period from 24 October to 10 November in 2014.
During the corresponding period in 2006 LFB attended 2,293 fires.
Hoax calls have also seen a sharp decrease during the last decade, with officers attending 54 malicious calls between 24 October and 10 November in 2014, down from 185 in 2006.
The Fire Brigades' Union (FBU) agreed there had been a downward trend, but said recent cuts still "jeopardise people's safety".
A spokesman said: "With the closure of 10 fire stations in London last year, removal of 16 fire appliances in London alone and the loss of 600 frontline fire fighters, data shows that response times were increased.
"Last week, a man in Camden lost his life because response times were double what they should have been."
The borough with the highest number of fires attended on 5 November was Tower Hamlets, with 374 on Bonfire Night since 2006, whereas the City of London only had six.

Perhaps the first minister will get a better reception here than he feels he's had in London.
UK ministers think they have been very accommodating. Brexit secretary David Davis says they've "bent over backwards" for the devolved administrations.
And yet Mr Jones complained this week about letters to Downing Street going unanswered and the difficulty of arranging meetings.
He also put AMs on notice of a possible "constitutional crisis".
Today the UK Government has publish its European Union (Withdrawal) Bill - previously described as the Repeal Bill - copying EU regulations and pasting them on to the statute book.
As part of the "bending over backwards strategy" a draft copy has been sent to Cathays Park. But the Welsh Government is unimpressed.
At issue is what happens to powers returning to Brussels in devolved policies.
All sides say new UK-wide rules - on paying farm subsidies, for example - will have to be agreed upon.
But while the Welsh Government thinks the powers should come directly to Cardiff before talks start, the UK Government has talked about powers stopping off in London en route in a "holding pattern".
At least that was the plan before the general election. If the bill published today doesn't satisfy the first minister, he'll invite the assembly to withhold its legislative consent.
That would be a symbolic defeat for the UK Government, but Theresa May need not necessarily pay much attention. Such votes are not legally binding on Parliament.
Possibly of more interest is the Welsh Government's threat to publish a mini repeal bill for Wales - the Continuity Bill. This will transpose EU rules that apply to the assembly into Welsh law.
What will happen if the UK Government ignores the Continuity Bill and carries on regardless?
Mr Jones told AMs this week: "It's the issue of whether the UK Government and House of Lords particularly would see it as constitutionally proper to overturn legislation that's passed in this assembly, thus prompting a constitutional crisis."
If he pushes ahead - and a lot of preparatory work on a Continuity Bill has happened behind the scenes - Mr Jones will publish the bill in the autumn. He would also ask to change the Assembly's rules so legislation can be sped through before the repeal bill passes in Westminster.
As one of his aides put it to me, with so much work on their hands, why would UK ministers want to "pick a battle on the home front as well"?
Counselling sessions for girls who gave their location as Scotland rose from 53 in 2015-16 to 108 in 2016-17.
Calls from boys was up from five in 2015-2016 to 20 last year.
With some callers not giving their gender, the total number of counselling sessions delivered rose from 106 to 150.
UK figures revealed that Childline gave 3,135 counselling sessions on exam stress in 2016-17 - a rise of 11% over two years.
More than a fifth of those took place in May as pupils faced upcoming exams, with many telling counsellors they were struggling with subjects, excessive workloads and feeling unprepared.
Children aged 12-15 were most likely to be counselled about exam stress.
But this year saw the biggest rise - up 21% on 2015-16 - amongst 16-18-year-olds, many of whom were preparing for exams to determine university places.
The charity said young people consistently told counsellors exam stress was contributing to "depression, anxiety, panic attacks, excessive crying, low self-esteem, self-harming and suicidal thoughts".
Joanna Barrett, acting national head of NSPCC Scotland, said: "Every year we hear from thousands of children who are struggling to cope with the pressure to succeed in exams.
"For some this can feel so insurmountable that it causes crippling anxiety and stress and in some cases contributes to mental health issues or even suicidal thoughts and feelings.
"Exams are important but worrying and panicking about them can be counterproductive, leaving young people unable to revise and prepare.
"It is vital that young people are supported by family, friends and teachers during the exam period to help them do the best they can.
"Childline is also here 24/7 for any young person needing confidential support and advice."
Cao Chengle, 72, lives in a ramshackle home surrounded by reminders that many migrant workers from his village have been much luckier than his son.
"Look at the other people," he tells me. "They've all made it and have built big houses. But we're living like cavemen."
In 2004, as a BBC reporter based in London, I was sent to Morecambe Bay to cover the aftermath of the death of 23 Chinese workers cut off and drowned by the rising tide as they collected cockles from the sand.
I interviewed the lifeboatmen who pulled the dead bodies from the water that night. I spoke to people still busy raking up shellfish, some of them foreign migrants. And I wondered, of course, about those lost lives.
Who were they? What kind of homes had they left behind?
Now 10 years later and 6,000 miles (10,000km) from Morecambe, Cao Chengle is answering those questions for me in the village of Cangxi in China's eastern Fujian province.
In late 2003, his son Cao Chaokun, then 35 years old, paid a gang of people-smugglers to take him to Europe.
A little more than a month later, he found himself working in England, on a bracing cold beach, along with a large group of fellow Chinese migrants.
It was hard, poorly paid work in a landscape which, to the untrained eye, could appear dangerously, deceptively serene.
On the night of 5 February 2004, they ventured far out on to the sandbanks in the dark, with the tide already beginning to turn.
A few hours later, they were marooned and then engulfed as the waters swept in around them.
The recordings of the desperate phone calls made in broken English to the emergency services that night make chilling listening.
It is the sound of 23 unregistered, undocumented lives slipping away beyond the reach of a society they'd never been part of.
For the British public, the disaster offered a glimpse into the risks and abuses inherent in the illegal economy.
It played into the already charged immigration debate and led directly to a new law regulating the agents who employ groups of vulnerable agricultural workers.
But today, for the families left behind in China, it continues to mean just one thing; hardship.
"It would be much better if he was still here," Cao Chaokun's father tells me.
"He'd be making money, he'd be able to support his family. Now the burden is on us, two people in their seventies, and our daughter-in-law."
Standing on the sands in Morecambe back in 2004, I remember speculating about the kind of desperation that would drive people to come so far at such a cost.
On reflection though, standing now in one of the villages they left behind, that question somehow seems to have missed the real point.
There is certainly poverty in eastern China, but there is no starvation or serious deprivation.
In fact, the most striking sight is that of the big houses that Cao Chaokun's father so badly craves. They're everywhere.
Giant, ostentatious, multi-storey piles that at first glance you could easily mistake for apartment blocks until you realise they are almost all single family homes.
And many of them have been built with money earned by family members working overseas.
At this house, a husband away in Australia doing interior decoration; next door, a son in America working in a restaurant; over the road, a brother in South Africa importing and selling Chinese-made goods.
The scene is repeated in every village we drive through.
Fujian provides a stark illustration of what motivates economic migrants everywhere.
Not always a flight from squalid desperation but often just a simple desire to do better.
A European Union-funded study published last year suggests that since 1980, from Fujian alone, more than one million Chinese migrants have gone overseas in search of that better life.
Up to half of them, according to Chinese government research, may have gone through illegal channels.
When Cao Chaokun drowned at Morecambe, his son, Cao Xianyong was just six years old. Today, the teenager still lives in the village of Cangxi and shares a humble one-room home with his mother and sister. It is surrounded on every side by the taller, newer buildings.
And despite what happened to his father, he is keen to follow in his footsteps.
"When I'm older I want to make money to save my mother from working too hard," he tells me.
"I want to go abroad. I want to go the US and start from the beginning, take it slowly and when I have enough money, open a restaurant."
The Cangxi village officials introduce me to another mother and father who, they tell me, also lost a son in England.
It appears to be a welcome and unexpected chance to hear, first-hand, about the effects of the Morecambe tragedy on another family and they agree to be interviewed.
"The last words my son said to me were 'mother don't cry'," 69-year-old Chen Yuying tells me. "He said he'd only be there for a few years.'"
But suddenly my translator is looking baffled and I can sense her searching for clarification as the conversation continues in a mixture of Mandarin and the Fujianese dialect. Then there's an awkward pause.
"Their son didn't die at Morecambe," she tells me. "He died a few years earlier, in June 2000."
Cao Xiangping was one of the 58 Chinese migrants found suffocated to death in the back of a lorry at the port of Dover.
His parents, of course, had no idea that we'd come to Cangxi to focus only on one tragedy and for the somewhat superficial purpose of marking its anniversary.
But that two families, living a stone's throw from each other in one village in China, should suffer the same loss four years apart is not just a coincidence.
It underlines the fact that so many people from this part of China have gone abroad and the risks that they take in doing so.
The same EU-funded study cited above suggests that illegal Chinese migration, particularly people-smuggling, is now in decline.
Since 2004, the number of alternative, legal and much safer ways of leaving China has increased, including a big jump in Chinese student numbers.
The destinations of choice appear to be changing too.
In Fujian, people tell us that back in 2004, the UK was one of the most popular destinations.
Today, they say few people want to go there, heading instead for what they see as the better economic opportunities on offer in Australia or America.
And the statistics appear to confirm that trend. Over the 10 years prior to 2008, the UK population of migrants from mainland China, both legal and illegal, was growing at an average of 35,000 a year.
But since 2008, when Britain's economic boom ground to a halt, it has slowed to just 10,000 a year - although it should be noted that these figures are broad estimates with a significant margin of error.
If nothing else, they suggest that while tougher controls and tighter borders are easy political promises to make, in the end, a recession might be a more effective tool in curbing illegal immigration.
In one regard, the families of the Morecambe Bay cockle pickers have been lucky.
The money to pay the human traffickers was borrowed, around £20,000 pounds ($33,000) each, leaving their surviving relatives with the large debts.
These have since been covered by a generous charitable donation, more than half a million pounds in total, raised by the British public.
But in Fujian, we learned of two other children whose father died at Morecambe already working abroad, one in Australia, the other in Zimbabwe.
Those who haven't gone already are more than likely to be dreaming about doing the same.
Six people attended the hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court, while a further five accused did not appear.
They are the first to face criminal proceedings as a result of a Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation into alleged manipulation of Euribor.
The rate is used to set trillions of dollars of financial contracts.
It is a cousin to the UK's Libor and is the average interest rate at which eurozone banks lend to each other.
The 11 traders are accused of conspiracy to defraud by manipulating the rate between 2005 and 2009.
At the hearing on Monday, Christian Bittar, 44, a former senior trader at Deutsche Bank, was ordered to pay a £1m bail.
Achim Kraemer, 51, who the court heard still works for Deutsche Bank, was ordered to pay a security of £100,000.
Four former Barclays traders also appeared in court and were given bail orders: Colin Bermingham, 59, from Aldeburgh, Suffolk; Carlo Palombo, 37, from California; Philippe Moryoussef, 47, of Singapore; and Sisse Bohart, 38, of Denmark.
Former Societe Generale banker Stephane Esper was not present. Four other Deutsche Bank employees who were due to face charges also did not attend.
In August, former City trader Tom Hayes became the first person to be convicted for fixing the Libor rate.
He later had his sentence reduced from 14 years to 11 years in prison.
The crash happened on the London-bound carriageway of the M20 at about 02:10 GMT, Kent Police said.
The London-bound carriageway was closed between junction 11 for Hythe and junction 12 near Ashford while officers investigated the crash.
The section of the motorway was reopened at 11:45, a police spokesman said. Any witnesses have been asked to contact Kent Police.
North, 24, landed on his head after a high tackle from Adam Thompstone in his side's 19-11 defeat against Leicester Tigers on Saturday, 3 December.
"I read some reports he must finish and stop playing. He doesn't want to be treated like that," Mallinder said.
"All George wants to do is get back and play rugby."
The Wales international previously had a six-month spell out of the game after suffering a series of blows to the head during matches, including a serious concussion when scoring a try against Wasps in March 2015.

The former Scarlets winger will sit out Northampton's game against Sale Sharks on Boxing Day because of the incident, despite saying he was not knocked out.
"He said he can remember going up in the air, he remembers landing on the floor, he remembers his head striking the floor and he said he wasn't unconscious," Mallinder told BBC Look East.
"That's not saying that he was not knocked unconscious briefly. If he thought he had been concussed, then George is sensible enough to put his hand up and say 'I'm concussed and I need some time out of the game'.
"He went to see the specialist on Tuesday, who backed up that he hasn't got any symptoms. But because he may have been knocked unconscious, we must treat it as a concussive episode and therefore we will not play him for a couple of weeks."
A concussion review group was formed to investigate how North's case was handled and whether the club have a case to answer, but Mallinder is not worried.
"I want it [the report] to be favourable towards the medics and the rugby club, because I know that they haven't intentionally done anything wrong," he continued.
"I hope it's honest and accurate." | Not many four-time world champions have to share the spotlight with a contemporary, never mind one who is a four-time Olympic gold medallist.

There are five leading candidates - from across the political spectrum - who will contest the first round of voting on 23 April and unless one candidate wins more than 50% of the votes, the two leading contenders will then go through to a second round on 7 May.
So who are the candidates and what are the issues likely to decide this election?
On the far right, the National Front's Marine Le Pen appears to have achieved more electoral success since distancing herself from some of her father's more extreme xenophobic policies.
Latest opinion polls show Ms Le Pen is ahead of the other four candidates in the first round - though a long way short of 50% - and is therefore likely to get through to the run-off.
In 2002, Jean-Marie Le Pen got through to the second round, but lost to Jacques Chirac.
Opinion polls currently suggest Marine Le Pen would be defeated in the second round by Emmanuel Macron. Without the backing of a traditional political party, the former economy minister, who has never held an elected office, is standing as a centrist candidate.
The previous front-runner, centre-right Republican Francois Fillon, has lost support over allegations his wife and children were paid public money for jobs they never had.
Prosecutors have launched a full judicial inquiry into the affair but he has survived an attempt within his party to replace him as candidate.
Socialist and former education minister Benoit Hamon, with a reputation as a left-wing rebel, has a plan to introduce a universal income which would be rolled out initially to those on a modest income, being expanded to all French citizens some time after 2022.
Far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon has the backing of the French Communist Party and stood unsuccessfully for the presidency in 2012.
One of the overriding issues facing French voters is unemployment - with at least one in four people aged under 25 unemployed.
The national rate stood at 10% in the last quarter of 2016 and according to the French official statistics office, Insee, it fell over the year by just 0.2%.
Latest unemployment figures for the European Union show France had the 8th highest jobless rate out of the 28 member states in December - and more than double that of Germany and the UK.
Last year's slight fall in the jobless rate came too late for President Francois Hollande, who had staked his reputation on creating more jobs during his time in office. Faced with very low ratings in the polls, he pulled out of the election race - the first French president not to run for a second term in modern history.
The problem of reducing unemployment will now fall to his successor.
The French economy is the second-biggest in the eurozone - but its recovery from the financial crisis of 2008 has been slow.
One of Mr Hollande's key policies was a new labour law, intended to help boost the economy by giving firms greater freedom to increase regular working hours, reduce pay and lay off workers.
But measures were watered down to get the bill through and the hoped-for improvements in the economy have not yet materialised.
France's economy, measured in terms of its Gross Domestic Product, has continued to lag behind its closest European neighbours, Germany and Britain.
All the leading candidates have argued that deep changes are needed in the French economy.
Security and immigration are also high on the agenda in this election.
France is still in a state of emergency following a number of terror attacks, including 14 July last year when 86 people died as a lorry ploughed into a crowd in Nice celebrating Bastille Day.
More than 320 people have died in terror attacks in France since January 2015.
Hundreds of young French Muslims are known to have travelled to Iraq and Syria to fight for so-called Islamic State. Interior ministry figures say almost 700 French citizens are still in the region - although numbers have dropped off in the past year.
Some of the perpetrators of the Paris attacks in November 2015 are known to have travelled to Syria - French officials fear others who have been radicalised may now return to France to commit further atrocities.
Tens of thousands of migrants have arrived in France as a result of the crisis which began in 2015, largely as a result of people fleeing the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
France received more than 85,000 applications for asylum in 2016 - more than 5,800 came from Syria. Although the figure has been rising steadily, the number of asylum-seekers applying to stay in France is lower than other European countries like Germany.
Official figures from 2014 show 8.9% of the 65.8m French population were immigrants. The figure has risen by 0.8% since 2006.
There is no official breakdown of the figures, as it is illegal in France to collect data on race and religion, but there are thought to be about five million Muslims living in France, the biggest Muslim population in the EU.
The majority of France's Muslim population live in the poorer suburbs of big cities like Paris, Marseille and Lyon, where unemployment is much higher than the national average.
The National Front has made treatment of immigrants one of its key policy issues - saying jobs, welfare, housing and school places should go to French nationals before "foreigners". A Pew Research Center survey in 2016 indicated that 29% of French adults viewed Muslims unfavourably.
It means more owners of homes in the UK would be able to pass them on to their children without paying tax.
The policy is likely to be at the centre of the Tory election manifesto, which will be launched next week.
Labour said the Tories had promised such a move before the last election and did not deliver.
Labour has been setting out plans to raise an extra £7.5bn a year through closing tax loopholes and imposing bigger fines on tax avoiders.
The £1bn cost of the Conservative policy will be paid for by reducing tax relief on the pension contributions of people earning more than £150,000, says the party.
At present, inheritance tax is payable at 40% on the value of an estate in excess of the tax-free allowance of £325,000 per person. Married couples and civil partners can pass the allowance on to each other.
If the Conservatives win the general election 7 May, parents will each be offered a further £175,000 allowance to enable them to pass property on to children tax-free after their death.
The new "family home allowance" will be transferable on the death of one spouse and can be added to the existing £325,000 transferable allowance to bring the tax-free total up to £1m.
The full amount would be transferable even if one member of a married couple has died before the policy comes into effect, the Conservatives say, and so would benefit existing widows and widowers.
For properties worth more than £2m, the new allowance would be gradually reduced, so that those with homes worth more than £2.35m would not benefit at all.
The new allowance would come into effect in April 2017 and be available to married couples and civil partners, even if one of them has died before that date.
In a speech on Sunday, Mr Cameron will say: "That wish to pass something on is about the most basic, human and natural instinct there is. And that's why for a long, long time I have wanted to act on inheritance.
"We've already done some important things. With the Conservatives, people can pass on their ISAs - and they'll be able to pass on their pension pot tax-free.
"And I can tell you today that the next Conservative government would go much further. We will take the family home out of inheritance tax.
"That home that you have worked and saved for belongs to you and your family.
"You should be able to pass it onto your children. And with the Conservatives, the tax man will not get his hands on it."
Chancellor George Osborne told the Mail on Sunday that people who wanted to pass on their family home should be "supported" and not "penalised".
But shadow treasury secretary Chris Leslie, for Labour, said the policy was the latest "panicky promise" from the Conservatives.
He said: "The Tories made a promise on inheritance tax before the last election and they broke it.
"At a time when our NHS is in crisis and most working people are paying more under the Tories, it cannot be a priority to spend £1bn on a policy which the Treasury says would not apply to 90% of estates."
Liberal Democrat Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said the Conservatives had "the wrong priorities".
He added: "It is extraordinary that the Tories will go into great detail on a policy that will cut tax for a small number of estates, but steadfastly refuse to give any detail at all on the massive cuts to public services that they desire.
"To make this promise with such a huge black hole at the heart of their plans is a sign of desperation from a Tory Party that knows it can't win the election."
"It is with immense sadness that we have to let you know our great friend of many years and fellow musician Huw Lloyd Langton passed away peacefully last night," the band said on its website on Friday.
Lloyd Langton played on Hawkwind's debut album in 1970. He rejoined the group in 1979 and played with them for the next 10 years.
"Huw had been bravely fighting cancer for a couple of years, but was determined not to let the battle affect his day to day life," said the Hawkwind statement.
"He continued to play his guitar, laugh, joke and share the great love he had in his heart, with all who knew him.
"As he wished, he was at home when the time came, with his ever strong and loving wife Marion at his side.
"Huw was one of the great guitarists with an individual style and character. He is gone but never forgotten by any of us. He will live on in our music and in our hearts."
Lloyd Langton, who was born in Harlesden, north London, also played with Widowmaker in the 1970s, and formed the LLoyd Langton Group in 1982.
He continued to make guest appearances with Hawkwind and played solo support slots on tour.
In August 2009, the guitarist played an acoustic set at Hawkwind's 40th anniversary concert at Porchester Hall, in London.
One of the world's longest-running bands, Hawkwind have undergone countless changes of personnel and musical styles over the years.
Former members and collaborators include Motorhead's Lemmy, science fiction writer Michael Moorcock, and ex-Cream drummer Ginger Baker.
Even on Mindanao, where tens of thousands have been killed over five decades of armed conflict, the week-long battle for Marawi stands out as a fiasco.
The army, though, now believes it unwittingly interrupted a plan by the Maute group to take over the city and sack it.
Soldiers were following a tip-off that Isnilon Hapilon, leader of the notorious Abu Sayyaf Group and the most wanted insurgent leader in the Philippines, was in Marawi.
They had gone in to try to capture him, and were surprised by the number of Maute group fighters inside the city. The result was a week of fierce clashes, air strikes, summary executions and tens of thousands of displaced people.
So who are the Maute group? And why are they important on an island which is home to dozens of well-armed groups?
A tradition of armed resistance to central government authority goes back centuries in Mindanao.
The Spanish colonial administration barely maintained a presence on the island, and the US administration which replaced Spain fought brutal battles with the Moros, as the various Muslim clans of Mindanao are generally called.
In the late 1960s the Moros rose up again against the government - after years of settlement by Christians from other parts of the Philippines had left Muslims a minority on Mindanao - under a new nationalist movement, the MNLF.
That armed struggle, costing tens of thousands of lives, has continued more or less to the present day, with occasional breakthroughs - like the 1996 peace agreement with the MNLF leader Nur Misuari, and the more recent Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro in 2014 with the MILF, once a breakaway group from the MNLF and now the largest armed organisation on the island.
That deal is stalled, but is supposed to create an autonomous Moro state on Mindanao.
President Rodrigo Duterte has promised to make peace on the island a priority, but his view of the 2014 deal is not clear as he talks about broader federalism for the Philippines.
All those years of conflict have created a warrior culture among young men, and flooded Mindanao with weapons. Private armies and militias wield more power than the official security forces in many areas.
They have also created fertile ground for radical Islam.
Best known of the radical groups is Abu Sayyaf, founded in 1991 and named after a mujahideen commander in Afghanistan.
It was linked to al-Qaeda through support given by Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law.
It used to operate only in the far south-west, on the islands of Sulu and Basilan, and became known for a series of kidnappings of foreigners for ransom and for beheading their captives.
US forces were deployed to the area in 2002 to help the Philippines military deal with Abu Sayyaf.
Despite the deaths of many fighters and commanders, the group continues to fight, though it has now broken into rival factions over the decision in 2014 by Isnilon Hapilon to swear allegiance to so-called Islamic State (IS), and to declare himself the "amir" of a South East Asian caliphate.
Who are the Abu Sayyaf group?
But when Hapilon moved to Lanao del Sur, on the main island of Mindanao, apparently after being badly injured in a firefight at the end of last year, a new and potentially dangerous alliance emerged, bringing Abu Sayyaf together with three other small, hardline insurgent forces, who reject peace talks with the government and advocate a Salafi form of Islamic rule.
The Maute group is one of them, and, say experts who monitor Islamic groups in the region, the most potent.
It was founded five or six years ago by Omar and Abdullah Maute, natives of Lanao del Sur and members of the Maranao clan.
They both studied in the Middle East: Omar at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, and Abdullah in Jordan. They both speak Arabic, unlike Isnilon Hapilon, and are well-versed in Salafi and jihadist ideology.
They are believed to have many connections with IS supporters in the Middle East.
The Maute brothers also have strong family ties to some of the top MILF leaders, which, until recently, gave them access to the resources and training areas of the mainstream insurgent group.
They are believed to have formed a close relationship with a well-known Indonesian radical, Sanusi, who was killed by police at the Mindanao State University in Marawi in 2012.
The Mautes probably started carrying out terrorist attacks in Mindanao in 2013. But they first grabbed national attention in the Philippines when they raided the prison in Marawi in August last year, freeing 23 inmates.
They were then blamed by the authorities for a bomb attack in Davao, President Duterte's hometown, in September, which killed 14 people.
They took over the town of Butig late last year, and again in January this year, and despite heavy losses, have continued to clash with the troops sent in to deal with them.
Their apparent plan to take over Marawi, coinciding with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, would have been a huge propaganda coup; their tenacious resistance to the army in Marawi may also now be used to attract more recruits.
Perhaps more significantly, they have a number of foreign militants fighting with them, mainly from Indonesia and Malaysia.
They are believed to have received training from a skilled Malaysian bomb-maker called Zulkifli "Marwan" Abdhir, who was killed by the police in 2015.
Another Malaysian radical, Dr Mahmud Ahmad, is still thought to be with them.
Sidney Jones, who runs the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict in Jakarta and is perhaps the best-informed expert on Islamic extremists in South East Asia, believes the Maute group now has overseas sources of funding, probably from Indonesia, she says, but possibly Syria.
The Mautes, she says, are the brains behind the attempt to establish an alliance loyal to IS in Mindanao, not the self-styled "amir" Isnilon Hapilon, for whose capture the US is offering a $5m (£3.9m) reward.
She believes the Philippines government has underestimated the strength of the Mautes, and their capacity to act as a crucible for terrorist actions across the region.
Ms Jones says that today Indonesian militants are able to travel freely to the Philippines, on scheduled flights, to buy weapons in Mindanao.
Her fear is that as IS is forced to retreat further in Syria and Iraq, the hundreds of Indonesian and Malaysian militants fighting there will come home, and be looking for new opportunities to wage jihad.
The Maute group and its new alliance will offer an ideal partnership for them.
"President Duterte's declaration of martial law is just a band-aid," Ms Jones says.
"The government has turned a blind eye to how these groups have united; it keeps downplaying the threat they pose. But these four groups together now have a geographic reach pro-IS groups in the Philippines have never had before."
It is worth remembering that the last time South East Asia faced a sustained terrorist threat, it also germinated in Mindanao.
Jemaah Islamiyah, the group that carried out the devastating Bali bombing in 2002, which killed 202 people, most of them tourists, originated in Indonesia and Malaysia in the 1980s.
But it learned its lethal bomb-craft from veterans of the Afghan war, mostly in training camps inside MILF-controlled areas.
Today the MILF is more wary of hardline militants within its ranks as it pursues a still elusive final autonomy settlement with the government.
The Mautes have been expelled from MILF areas in the past, and get little co-operation today.
But while poverty and violence still afflict the southern Philippines, the radical groups will appeal to many young Muslims, and pose a significant threat to the mainstream MILF leadership, to other parts of the country vulnerable to terrorist bombings, and even to the wider region.
Police said six gunmen on motorcycles had stopped the bus and fired indiscriminately at passengers.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has condemned the attack and ordered an investigation.
Pakistani Taliban splinter group Jundullah and Islamic State (IS) both said they had carried out the attack.
Later, the militant group Tehrik Taliban Pakistan (TTP) also said it was behind the shooting.
Analysts say Pakistan's fragmented militant movements have previously competed to claim responsibility for attacks.
Wednesday's attack was the second deadliest in Pakistan this year after 62 Shia Muslims were killed in a suicide bombing in January.
This is the first such attack on the Ismaili community in Pakistan, and it is shocking even by the standards of Karachi. The sheer numbers of casualties and the manner in which they were killed provide an uneasy contrast with the peaceful image of this Shia sect, which makes up a tiny proportion of Pakistan's mostly Sunni Muslim population.
We are not likely to find out for sure who did it because Karachi is in the throes of an armed struggle between the military and a confusing array of political, religious and sectarian militants.
Ismailis consider the Aga Khan their hereditary spiritual guide. They mostly inhabit the Himalayan region of northern Pakistan, but also have a significant presence in Karachi where they run businesses and charities, and tend to use community-built accommodation and transport.
The attack is likely to cause some diplomatic tensions for Islamabad as the Aga Khan has been a major source of development funds. This may be one reason why both the prime minister and the army chief have set aside other engagements to head for Karachi.
About 60 people were on the bus when it was stopped in the Safoora Chowk area on its way to the Ayesha Manzil Ismaili centre, police said.
Relatives of some survivors said the gunmen were dressed as policemen.
"As the gunmen climbed on to the bus, one of them shouted, 'kill them all!'," a survivor told Pakistani TV.
"Then they started indiscriminately firing."
They said the bus driver was killed and an injured passenger drove the bus to Memon Hospital Institute.
BBC Urdu service editor Aamer Ahmed Khan in Karachi said the bus was making one of five daily scheduled trips between a gated community housing mainly Ismailis on the north-eastern outskirts and the main city.
Who are the Ismailis?
One man at the hospital told AFP news agency: "I have come to collect the body of my young son. He was a student preparing for his first year exams at college."
Ismaili spiritual leader Prince Karim Aga Khan said in a statement the "attack represented a senseless act of violence against a peaceful community".
Amnesty International said the attack marked "a new low in a campaign of sectarian violence that has left Pakistan's religious minorities fearing for their lives".
It said extremists in the country were operating with impunity.
Mr Sharif described the killings as "a deplorable attempt to spread chaos".
A Jundullah spokesman said the group had carried out the attack because it considered the victims to be infidels. He threatened more attacks against Ismailis, Shias and Christians.
A statement purportedly from IS posted on jihadist Twitter accounts also claimed the attack.
Pakistan's army chief Gen Raheel Sharif has cancelled a trip to Sri Lanka and is leading the investigation, the BBC's Urdu editor said.
Pakistan is about 20% Shia and 70% Sunni, with the remainder made up by other minorities. Karachi, Pakistan's commercial capital, has long had a reputation for sectarian violence.

The team from Bangor used geophysical surveys to outline the site at Cemlyn, which it says is the first early Roman military site to be found on the island.
The Gwynedd Archaeological Trust was first alerted to it by an aerial photographer.
It described the discovery as "exciting".
Mary Aris, an aerial photographer and historian, spotted a circular mark in crops on a low hill overlooking the Anglesey coast.
The trust secured funding from Cadw, the Welsh government's historic environment service, for further inquiry.
It used surveys which detect minute changes in the magnetic properties of soil to build-up a map of the buried remains, without even breaking ground.
David Hopewell, of Gwynedd Archaeological Trust, said the results were "unusually clear", showing the "unmistakable outline" of a Roman fortlet - a smaller version of a Roman fort.
It is thought the structure dates back to the 1st Century.
"The discovery is particularly exciting because it is the first early Roman military site to be found on the island," the trust said.
"The conquest of Anglesey was famously described two thousand years ago in lurid detail by the Roman senator and historian, Tacitus, but historians have, up until now, searched in vain for any sign of forts and roads on the island."
Mr Hopewell said fortlets are usually linked by roads, 15 to 20 miles (24 to 32 km) apart, and it is hoped, therefore, the latest find will lead to other discoveries.
Champa Patel from Amnesty said the police in Thailand had a "long and disturbing" history of using torture.
Convicted murderers Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo now face the death penalty.
A Thai court ruled on Thursday that they killed Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24.
The British backpackers' bodies were found on a Koh Tao island beach in September 2014.
Miss Witheridge, from Hemsby, Norfolk, had been raped before she was killed, while Mr Miller, of Leeds, had been hit over the head before drowning in the sea.
Lawyers for the defendants - both aged 22 and migrants from Myanmar - have said they will appeal.
The accused, both bar workers, retracted their initial confessions, claiming police had tortured them, an allegation supported by human rights campaigners.
A flawed and muddled investigation
Families talk of 'senseless' killings
But standing outside court shortly after the verdict Mr Miller's brother Michael said justice had "been delivered", and described the evidence against Lin and Phyo as "absolutely overwhelming".
He also called for campaigners to respect the court's decision.
But Mr Patel, who is Amnesty International's director for south-east Asia, said the torture claims required an independent investigation, which the police themselves should not be in charge of.
"The Thai police force has a long and disturbing track record of using torture and other forms of ill-treatment to extract 'confessions'," he added.
"This is far from an isolated case.
"The Thai authorities must start taking concrete steps to stamp out torture, not just paying lip service to doing so," he added.
The human rights campaign group also said that in its own investigation of the case, the Thai National Human Rights Commission found the allegations of torture to be credible.
Earlier, Miss Witheridge's family said they needed time "to digest the outcome of the trial verdict".
During the trial prosecutors said DNA evidence collected from cigarette butts, a condom and the bodies of the victims, linked Lin and Phyo to the deaths.
But lawyers defending the accused argued DNA from a garden hoe - allegedly used as the murder weapon - did not match samples taken from the men.
They also claimed evidence had been mishandled by police and the pair's confessions were the result of "systematic abuse" of migrants in the area.
Thailand has not carried out any executions since 2009, when two executions took place, according to a death penalty database collated by Cornell Law School in the US.
The victims met on Koh Tao while staying in the same hotel.
The family of Mr Miller attended the hearing but relatives of Miss Witheridge did not travel to Thailand for the verdicts.
Rachel Thomas said she was "gutted" to see the note from Alex, who described the misery of having his bike stolen.
It read: "I could only afford that bike after one year of working my tears out... I only had it for a week".
Ms Thomas was so moved she started a funding page on a website on Tuesday which raised £750.
She said: "My husband commutes on his bike every day. I enjoy the occasional trip to town on mine - I'm admittedly a fair weather cyclist. But I understand the freedom a bike can give and how amazing life can be when you have your own brand new wheels.
"I don't want Alex to regret recently moving to Reading - I love my little town.
"I've been helped out by strangers before and I'd love Alex to be able to not just see our town on two wheels but feel welcomed by its community."
In the letter, pinned to a bike rack in Broad Street, Alex encouraged the thief to give the bike back, and said he would wait each day at 18:00 GMT for it to be returned.
However, when he returned to the bike rack, Ms Thomas met him and gave him the money collected to purchase a new bicycle.
Alex, from Bulgaria, said he was "humbled" and the donations had "restored" his "faith in human nature".
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) has almost 40 flood warnings in place, covering Aberdeenshire, Speyside, Moray, Caithness and Sutherland, and Tayside.
Moray Council said it was evacuating about 200 homes at risk of flooding in Elgin.
And ScotRail said train travel was being severely impacted by flooding.
Forecasters said more heavy rain and strong winds were likely overnight, affecting much of Scotland.
They warned of difficult driving conditions and the risk of further localised flooding, with gales around exposed northern coasts.
It advised commuters to avoid rail travel between Aberdeen and Inverness, and Perth and Inverness.
Elgin was one of the worst affected areas. Reader Alastair Mackie said the main rail line "looks more like a canal".
Roads in Moray and the Highlands were badly hit.
Among the worst affected routes were the A838 Durness to Tongue road, which was closed at the south end of Loch Eriboll.
The B873 Altnaharra to Syre road has been shut at Grumbeg Bridge, while fallen trees have closed the B827 Skiach to Evanton road.
The A835 was also shut by a landslip near Ullapool, disrupting travel between the town and Inverness. Part of the A938 at Duthil near Carrbridge fell away.
The Keith Show was cancelled due to the severe weather.
The Met Office's amber warning for rain - meaning "be prepared" - is for the Grampian and Highlands and Eilean Siar areas, and there is a wider yellow warning for the rest of eastern and northern Scotland.
By early Monday morning, Lossiemouth had recorded almost a month's rainfall in 12 hours, while gusts of 50mph swept through Aberdeenshire.

The eight-strong team, which includes experts in search and rescue, will travel to Nepal overnight.
The 7.8 magnitude quake struck just before midday local time and is thought to have killed more than 1,000 people.
A number of British charities are assembling disaster teams to join the rescue effort.
Oxfam, Christian Aid, Save the Children, the British Red Cross and Plan International UK have all confirmed they are assessing the humanitarian need in the disaster struck area.
Prime Minister David Cameron had said the UK would do all it could to help in the aftermath of the earthquake.
The Nepalese information minister has told the BBC that 1,500 people had been killed in the disaster, but that the true casualty figure would probably be much higher.
Work to assess the scale of the damage and helping the Nepalese authorities direct the humanitarian response will begin on Sunday, International Development Secretary Justine Greening confirmed when announcing the dispatch of the team from her department.
She said: "My thoughts are with the people of Nepal, in particular all those who have lost loved ones.
"The absolute priority must be to reach people who are trapped and injured, and provide shelter and protection to those who have lost their homes.
"Nepal needs our urgent humanitarian assistance.
"That is why we have rapidly deployed a team of humanitarian experts who will immediately begin work assessing the damage and helping the Nepalese authorities respond to this devastating earthquake."
Tom Trevelyan, a British tourist in Kathmandu, says he was in the centre of the old city when the quake struck.
He said he "just saw a plume of dust in front of me as two of the big temples collapsed".
He added: "It was just locals and us and any sort of other tourists jumping in and trying to dig people up and help pull people out."
The Foreign Office has offered assistance to local authorities and advised British nationals in the area to stay "in a place of safety".
The majority of fatalities were reported in Nepal, but there have been deaths in India, Tibet, Bangladesh and at the Nepal-China border.
Mr Cameron took to Twitter to express the country's support and British charities are also preparing to help to deal with the disaster.
The prime minister tweeted: "Shocking news about the earthquake in Nepal - the UK will do all we can to help those caught up in it."
Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: "My thoughts are with the people of Nepal and everyone affected by the terrible loss of life and widespread damage caused by the earthquake.
"We are in close contact with the Nepalese government.
"The British Embassy in Nepal is offering our assistance to the authorities and is providing consular assistance to British nationals."
A spokeswoman for Intrepid, which arranges treks in Nepal and around the Everest region, said it had some groups which included Britons in the area, and it was in the process of trying to get in touch with them.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has released an emergency number +44 (0) 207 008 0000 for British nationals needing consular assistance to call.
Labour leader Ed Miliband also expressed his sympathy, tweeting: "The awful scenes in Nepal are heartbreaking.
"My thoughts go out to the people affected, and to those caring for survivors."
Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg said his that heart goes out to "all the people of Nepal".
"My thoughts are also with all the Nepalese people living here in the UK worried about their loved ones, including our Gurkha community, who are a shining testament to the resilience and great spirit of the Nepalese people," he added.
The British Red Cross already had an 'earthquake preparedness project' in place in anticipation of a major quake, and Christian Aid has made an initial £50,000 available to help victims.
Christian Aid's regional emergency manager Ram Kishan said today: "Our partners are en route to establish where need is greatest, so that we can respond quickly and effectively.
"It's clear from what has emerged so far that there is an urgent need for emergency shelters, food and clean drinking water, warm clothing blankets and hygiene kits."
Tanya Barron, CEO of Plan International UK, who is in eastern Nepal on a scheduled visit, said she had been on the top floor of a building when it started to "shake violently".
She added: "It was very scary. Our colleagues advised us that the quake felt much stronger than usual.
"We are safe and now we are working with our colleagues to respond. There are crowds of people on the streets here and the hospitals are already overwhelmed.
"Our immediate priorities are to assist the emergency services with search and rescue and to establish shelter."
Oxfam also has teams in Nepal already assessing the humanitarian need and a team of technical experts preparing to fly from the UK with supplies to provide clean water, sanitation and emergency food supplies.
Among those caught up in the disaster are two Scottish 21-year-olds, Joseph Feeney from Blarhill, Coatbridge and Calum Henderson from Edinburgh.
Both are students at Aberdeen University and were en-route to Annapurna base camp on a trekking holiday when the earthquake hit.
They have contacted their parents to say they are safe, but currently stranded.
Ben Pickering, Save the Children's humanitarian adviser in Britain, said the priority is to understand what the emergency needs are - right now, and in the coming weeks.
"We are treating it as a big emergency. Children will be affected in many ways. Physical injuries. Separated from families," he said.
About an hour after the initial quake, a magnitude 6.6 aftershock hit, and smaller aftershocks could be felt through the region for hours.
A senior mountaineering guide, Ang Tshering, said an avalanche swept the face of Mount Everest after the earthquake and government officials said at least 30 people were injured.
Gyanendra Shretha, an official with Nepal's mountaineering department, said the bodies of eight people had been recovered and an unknown number remain missing or injured.
The visitors, who rarely win qualifying games at this level, levelled at 43-43 with the first basket after half-time.
It took a run of seven points in the last 36 seconds of the third quarter to break the game open for GB.
Kyle Johnson scored 14 points for the hosts and Andrew Lawrence and Gabe Olaseni added 13 and 12 respectively.
"There were a lot of defensive errors in the first half, trying to do things a little differently that weren't really working for us," said GB's Gareth Murray. "We changed things at half-time and came out with a bit more intensity."
The hosts struggled to contain Luxembourg's Alex Laurent, who scored 21 of his 30 points in the first half.
It was only the late run in the third quarter, inspired by Johnson - one of four remaining 2012 Olympians - that gave coach Joe Prunty's team a comfortable cushion.
"I felt good that I was able to help the team win," said Johnson. "We were a bit sluggish in the first half and tried to bring some energy to the second half."
GB's win means they could move top of Group G on Saturday, when they entertain unbeaten leaders Hungary, with only the winners guaranteed to qualify for next year's finals.
GB finish their programme with games in Macedonia and Luxembourg next week.
The report by the Dr Foster data analysis company focuses on poorly performing hospitals identified in the wake of the Stafford Hospital scandal.
Researchers show average death rates fell after urgent measures, such as leadership changes, were enforced.
But Labour says problems - particularly on emergency wards - persist.
Hundreds of people suffered appalling care at Stafford Hospital in the years leading up to 2008 and inquiries suggest some may have died needlessly as a result.
The scandal prompted a review of hospital trusts in 2013, and 11 were put in special measures.
A range of problems were discovered including patients being left on trolleys for excessive periods and poor maintenance in operating theatres.
The measures included sending in teams of external experts to work with the senior management team.
Regular updates on their progress were also ordered, while some unsafe practices, such as the use of operating theatres with inadequate maintenance records, were stopped.
Analysts from Dr Foster tracked death rates at the trusts before and after they were placed under a regime of special measures.
And by comparing observed death rates to expected ones they say it is reasonable to conclude that "hundreds of deaths that might otherwise have occurred without the intervention did not happen".
Although they found death rates had fallen across all English hospitals since July 2013, the downward trend was more pronounced at the 11 special measure trusts when taken as a group.
The report found death rates had fallen by 9.4%, compared with a 3.3% decrease nationally. But some of the trusts performed better than others - Tameside NHS Foundation Trust, which is still in special measures, continues to have rising death rates.
Researchers say that despite all these trusts showing higher death rates than the national average, the difference has narrowed considerably.
Roger Taylor at Dr Foster said: "It is now up to the NHS to learn lessons of what worked in each of the 11 trusts, so that a best practice approach for special measures can be adopted."
"Hospitals need to pay urgent attention to any warning signs coming from their data to ensure patient safety isn't compromised."
But Prof Sir Bruce Keogh, national medical director, said: "Mortality statistics require careful interpretation, but they do provide an important smoke signal.
"What this report shows is that by following the smoke and carrying out proper, transparent analysis and supporting as necessary, you can help hospitals make significant improvements."
Health minister Lord Howe added: "Since the scandal at Mid Staffordshire we have taken tough decisions to improve patient safety.
"A total of 19 trusts have now been placed in special measures and today's report is further evidence that our special measures programme is working."
Dr Katherine Rake, chief executive of the watchdog Healthwatch England, said: "The NHS is simply not good enough yet in terms of responding to people's concerns and complaints but I think what today's report shows is that when you turn that around you can deliver significant improvements."
Andy Burnham MP, Labour's shadow health secretary, said: "It was because of this government's decision to axe thousands of nursing jobs that these hospitals were placed in special measures in the first place.
"The hospitals are still getting worse on key measures now, particularly A&E performance, like the rest of the NHS."
In August 2014, following inspections by the Care Quality Commission, a number of trusts were removed from special measures, while others were given further urgent support:
Nathaniel Clyne gave the ball away for the Clarets' first goal, with Gray finding Vokes to blast home.
Steven Defour, on his Burnley debut, was allowed to charge forward and set up Gray to roll home the second.
Liverpool had 81% of possession and 26 shots - but only tested Clarets keeper Tom Heaton with efforts from distance.

The 19% of possession that the Clarets had is the lowest total by a winning side in the Premier League since Opta began recording the statistic in the 2003-04 season.
Burnley only had one other effort at goal, which was off target, but the figures belied how little threat the Reds posed when they came forward.
Liverpool were a shadow of the attacking force they were in last week's thrilling 4-3 win at Arsenal and their second away game of the season ended in their first defeat of the new campaign.
The game had been switched to Turf Moor because work on the new stand at Anfield is not complete and, after losing to Swansea in their opener, Burnley made home advantage count this time to pick up their first points since their promotion.
The manner of their victory at Emirates Stadium had given Liverpool plenty of reasons for early season optimism but, unfortunately for them, the only part of that performance they repeated came at the back.
Left-back Alberto Moreno paid the price for his defensive errors at the Emirates, being replaced by James Milner, but right-back Clyne produced an even worse error that led to Burnley's opener.
Ragnar Klavan also should have done better when he failed to stop Defour's run forward, leaving Liverpool's defence wide open for Gray to make it 2-0.
The Reds had problems at the other end too. Philippe Coutinho starred as Liverpool's forward play gave them victory last week - but he was a long way short of his best on this occasion.
Time and time again the Brazilian picked up the ball in space on the edge of the Burnley area looking to bend in one of his trademark spectacular goals but, of his 10 strikes from similar range, only one brought a save from Tom Heaton.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp told Match of the Day: "Our decision making was not good. We'd put in a good cross but there were no bodies in the box and then when we had bodies in the box we ended up shooting.
"The season is still pretty young. It doesn't look like we are 100% fine-tuned. But it's only the start of the season and I can see a lot of good things.
"The lesson here is don't give the ball away like we did twice today. We will work on it 100%. We need to have a plan for deep defending teams. We have a few things to do - that is clear."
As poor as Liverpool were given their amount of possession, credit must also go to Burnley for the work-rate throughout their team as well as their organisation and resolve at the back.
The Clarets out-ran Liverpool by 115.3km to 113km - and that industry was key to them defending their lead and securing the points.
When Liverpool did put balls into the box, Michael Keane and Ben Mee dealt with everything that came their way, ensuring Heaton was rarely tested.
His best save came from Roberto Firmino in the second half but, typically, that came from a long-distance shot.
Burnley's strikers also deserve praise, with Vokes and Gray both able to celebrate the first top-flight goals of their career.
They barely had a kick for much of the game, but kept running and kept stretching Liverpool's defenders when Burnley were able to counter-attack.
"I thought we made Liverpool look uncomfortable," Burnley boss Sean Dyche told Match of the Day. "We think we can be a threat to teams.
"We have never been bogged down with all the stats about possession. There is something marvellous when you see someone give everything to the cause. That's what I thought we did."
Liverpool's road trip continues, first with a journey to Burton in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, and then a tough-looking task at Tottenham in the Premier League next weekend.
Burnley are also on their travels. They leave Turf Moor for the first time for the short trip to Accrington in their EFL Cup second-round tie on Wednesday, then head to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea on Saturday.
Match ends, Burnley 2, Liverpool 0.
Second Half ends, Burnley 2, Liverpool 0.

Both sides signed a ceasefire in Minsk, Belarus, on 5 September, but there have been constant breaches.
Fighting since then has cost the lives of almost 1,000 people, the UN says.
President Petro Poroshenko said troops would observe a "day of silence" on Tuesday to try to kick-start the Minsk deal. Rebel leaders were quoted by the RIA news agency as agreeing.
However, this has not been independently confirmed.
Earlier this week, another truce agreement set to start on Friday fell apart within hours of being agreed amid new shelling.
Since the conflict began in April, more than 4,300 people have died with almost one million displaced, the UN says.
The Ukrainian presidential website confirmed that security officials had met "to discuss measures to implement the Minsk accords", with a "day of silence" on Tuesday.
A presidential source told AFP news agency that Ukraine would then start withdrawing heavy weapons from the frontline on 10 December, if the separatists in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk observed the ceasefire.
One of the pro-Russian separatist leaders in Donetsk, Andrei Purgin, confirmed the agreement with the RIA news agency.
It also quoted the head of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, Igor Plotnitsky, as saying a verbal agreement was in place.
However, he said there was no "written confirmation".
The Minsk agreement projected a 30km (18 mile) military buffer zone in the east and limited self-rule for the separatists.
However both Luhansk and Donetsk then held leadership elections on 2 November that Ukraine and the West refused to recognise.
The Ukraine crisis began a year ago, when then-President Viktor Yanukovych abandoned an agreement on closer trade ties with EU in favour of closer co-operation with Russia.
This decision sparked pro-EU protests in the capital Kiev, eventually toppling Mr Yanukovych in February.
In the weeks that followed, Russia annexed Crimea, in Ukraine's south, and pro-Russian separatists took control of Donetsk and Luhansk, declaring independence.
The crisis has caused a serious rift between Russia and Ukraine's Western supporters.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied Ukrainian and Western accusations that it has sent tanks and troops to the war-torn region to help the rebels.
In his annual state-of-the nation address to Russia's parliament on Thursday, President Vladimir Putin accused Western governments of seeking to raise a new "iron curtain" around Russia.
He condemned economic sanctions imposed over the annexation of Crimea, saying: "Every time someone believes Russia has become too strong, independent, these instruments get applied immediately."
Mr Putin expressed no regrets over the move, saying the territory had a "sacred meaning" for Russia.
Speaking in Basel in Switzerland later, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the West did not seek confrontation with Russia.
"No-one gains from this confrontation... It is not our design or desire that we see a Russia isolated through its own actions," Mr Kerry said.
Russia could rebuild trust, he said, by withdrawing support for separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Anyone who wants to switch must be given a two-week cooling-off period for the chance to change their mind, before the three-day process starts.
Next-day switching should be in place by the end of 2018 at the latest.
At present, the switching process can take five weeks, including the two-week cancellation period.
The process has been criticised as too complex. Among those who have criticised the system have been the Energy Ombudsman and consumer groups.
In April, Ofgem said that nearly two-thirds of UK consumers had never switched energy supplier. Yet, were they to do so, they could save about £200, the regulator said.
"Consumers can change their bank in seven days, their mobile phone in just a couple, but have to wait significantly longer to switch their energy supplier," said Dermot Nolan, chief executive of Ofgem.
"We know that consumers want a reliable and efficient switching process, and that concerns about it going wrong can put them off shopping around for a better deal.
"So following the steps we have taken to make the market simpler, clearer, fairer, we are now leading a programme which will deliver faster, more reliable switching."
A spokesman for Energy UK, which represents the major suppliers, claimed that it was already easy to move to a new provider.
"Just pop in your postcode, pop in your how much gas and electricity you use - which is on every bill, and Bob's your uncle. It is as simple as that," he said.
"Energy UK has been working for some time on speeding things up with the organisations that operate the gas and electricity switching hubs and it is great that Ofgem and others are all on board.
"This is a collaborative programme with lots of participants involved and there are now 24 suppliers of energy, so real choice and competition for the customer."
New computer systems and smart meters should allow the process to be cut to a day by the end of 2018.
Richard Lloyd, executive director of consumer group Which?, said: "Faster, easier switching would be welcome news for consumers trying to find a better energy deal.
"Suppliers should introduce 24-hour switching as quickly as possible, under close scrutiny from Ofgem so that the cost to consumers of the new system does not spiral.
"It will also be essential that suppliers do more to introduce simple pricing, so consumers can easily see the best deal for them before they switch."
Eunice Lloyd and Olive Rowlands, from Ammanford, have been friends since they attended Nantygroes Primary School.
A joint celebration for their 100th birthdays was held at the Deri Arms in Llanedi on Tuesday.
The pair said it was more difficult than it used to be to visit one another, but they speak on the phone and attend a social group for the visually impaired together.
"I don't think we have had an argument," Mrs Lloyd said.
Mrs Rowlands said keeping active was her secret to a long and healthy life.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has accused Actavis UK of breaking competition law by raising the price for 10mg hydrocortisone tablets from 70p to £88 over eight years.
Hydrocortisone treats life-threatening conditions such as Addison's disease.
Actavis UK's current owner, Teva, said it would defend the allegations.
Between 2008 and 2015, the CMA claims that the NHS's spending on the drug rose from £522,000 to £70m.
Actavis UK acquired the rights to make generic hydrocortisone tablets in 2008 from Merck Sharp & Dohme, which had produced a branded version of the treatment. De-branded or "generic" drugs are not subject to price regulation.
The CMA compared the price of 10mg and 20mg hydrocortisone tablets that Actavis is charging now to Merck Sharp & Dohme's prices in 2008.
It claims that Actavis UK charged the NHS £102.74 a pack for 20mg pills, whereas the branded version previously cost £1.07 a packet.
Andrew Groves, senior responsible officer at the CMA, said: "This is a lifesaving drug relied on by thousands of patients, which the NHS has no choice but to continue purchasing.
"We allege that the company has taken advantage of this situation and the removal of the drug from price regulation, leaving the NHS - and ultimately the taxpayer - footing the bill for the substantial price rises."
Teva recently acquired the Actavis UK business as part of its deal to buy Actavis Generics from drug firm Allergan.
In a statement, Teva said that competition from the generic medicine market saved the NHS in England and Wales £13.5bn, with its medicines accounting for about £3.2bn of that total.
It added: "Although the pricing of the acquired Actavis product (Hydrocortisone) under investigation was never under Teva's effective control, Teva believes that intervention by the CMA in prices for generic medicines raises serious policy concerns regarding the roles of both the CMA and the Department of Health."
The CMA said that at this stage, its findings were provisional and that no conclusion could be drawn that Actavis UK, which used to be known as Auden McKenzie, had broken competition law.
The competition watchdog has been clamping down on drugs companies for overcharging the NHS.
Earlier in December, the CMA fined Pfizer a record £84.2m for raising the price of an anti-epilepsy treatment by up to 2,600%. It also fined Flynn Pharma £5.2m for overcharging the NHS for phenytoin sodium capsules which prevent and control seizures.
Both companies are to appeal against the decisions.
Nelly, real name Cornell Haynes, was pulled over on Saturday morning because the bus was allegedly not displaying legally-required stickers.
The bus was then searched after a state trooper smelled marijuana, authorities in Tennessee said.
Officers are alleged to have found drugs and handguns on board.
The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security said Nelly was taken to Putnam County Jail after the bus, which had six people on board, was stopped on Interstate 40.
The 40-year-old rapper was charged with felony possession of drugs, simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia and was later released on bail.
One other man travelling on the coach was arrested and charged, authorities said.
A statement said two state troopers searched the bus and found "five coloured crystal-type rocks that tested positive for methamphetamine, as well as a small amount of marijuana and other drug paraphernalia" as well as the guns.
According to CNN, Nelly's lawyer Scott Rosenblum said "there had been 15-20 people that had access to the bus prior to the stop".
He said he was "extremely confident that when the facts come out, Nelly will not be associated with the contraband that was allegedly discovered."
The rapper, whose hits include Hot in Herre, Dilemma and Ride Wit Me, is currently starring in his own reality TV show, Nellyville.
It centres around the star's home and family life with his two children and his sister's two children, who he adopted after his sibling died from leukaemia.
Trophy number 14 may follow on 25 May in the shape of the Copa del Rey, but this is the end of an era.
Purely in terms of trophies, Johan Cruyff, who managed the side from 1988-96, is the only other Barca coach to compare to Guardiola. Yet like the influential Dutchman, the Catalan's success was about so much more than results.
Guardiola unites probably the two most glorious eras of the club's history. Firstly, he was the midfield pivot that centred Cruyff's Dream Team in the 1990s. He went on to create a team as coach to rank as one of the most thrilling to have played the game.
Almost 30 years ago, when Guardiola arrived at the fabled La Masia academy as a 13-year-old, Cruyff redeployed him as a defensive midfielder. With his visionary range of passing, Guardiola became Cruyff's muse on the pitch.
Six Spanish league titles and one European Cup later, he became boss on 17 June 2008, after a successful year in charge of Barcelona B. Most expected a back-to-basics approach under a safe pair of hands, but few imagined revolution.
By getting rid of divisive (and as it turns out, waning) dressing room figures such as Ronaldinho and Deco, he immediately imposed his authority. Later, more controversially, he did likewise with the intense personality of the brilliant Samuel Eto'o - but not before he had coaxed one more exceptional Champions League-winning season from him.
The naked eye tells us that Barcelona's play is a symphony of intuition. Yet we shouldn't be fooled by the breathtaking aesthetics. Guardiola is an obsessive, a perfectionist.
The technical relationships on the pitch are the result of years of indoctrination and feverishly practiced drills. That's exactly why the recapture of Gerard Pique from Manchester United and Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal was so important.
Pique became, to an extent, the tempo setter for Guardiola that he himself had been for Cruyff. That the pair's relationship cooled this season has been a problem for Barca.
Guardiola's belief in the academy was absolute. In 2006, three La Masia products started the Champions League final win over Arsenal in Paris. By the time Barca won the trophy back against Manchester United in Rome three years later, seven starters were youth products.
Guardiola had a strong sense of the club's lineage, but never aimed to impose his own characteristics on the team. To call him just a disciple of La Masia is to underplay his intelligence and adaptability.
Cruyff's Dream Team crumbled after the 1994 Champions League final humbling by Fabio Capello's Milan. Guardiola's key role had been marginalised in that game, crowded out by Marcel Desailly and Demetrio Albertini in midfield. He never forgot that experience.
Later in his playing career, Guardiola participated in Louis van Gaal's revival of Barca. Drawn from the same "Total Football" principles as Cruyff, the blunt Van Gaal demanded even greater selflessness from his team. Guardiola followed suit as a coach.
So, he built on the successes of Spain's Euro 2008-winning side, building around Xavi and Andres Iniesta in midfield. Yet his genius was in seeing what his side would need to do to compensate for their generally smaller statures. They would press and work as rarely seen before.
Guardiola constantly sought to innovate, and evolve, as he learned from his mistakes. The expensive Dmytro Chygrynskiy was jettisoned after struggling to adapt. Ball retention was more important than orthodox positioning, the coach decided. So Javier Mascherano and sometimes Sergio Busquets ended up playing in defence.
Like all great artists, Guardiola is like a magpie; listening, observing, and incorporating an idea here and another there. Before taking the Barca job, he spoke to some of the coaches he respected most; Juan Manuel Lillo, who he played under at Mexican club Dorados Sinaloa, and now-Athletic Bilbao boss Marcelo Bielsa.
Before the announcement of the appointment of Guardiola's assistant Tito Vilanova, Bielsa had been the early favourite to succeed Guardiola. As with any other 'outsider' not of Barcelona stock, he would have represented a huge risk.
Until Guardiola succeeds elsewhere, the question will remain - is Guardiola a standalone genius, or just a highly skilled conduit of an excellent system, like Germany's Joachim Low? His failure to fully integrate Zlatan Ibrahimovic raises doubts over his ability to bring outsiders into the bubble; and to embrace a plan B.
It has also been suggested in the Catalan press that Guardiola sensed the end of a cycle - yet doesn't have the heart to make tough decisions on players that have given him so much.
Yet his efforts will not be forgotten. As Catalan daily El Mundo Deportivo writes today, Guardiola "has given his life over to Barca for these four years." When Guardiola called Bielsa "the best coach on the planet", the Argentine replied abruptly: "I'm not Pep's master. He is the master."
That just about sums up the task his successor faces.
