A combination of injuries and a virus spreading through the squad depleted Wane's options for the match.
The defeat was the Warriors' heaviest in Super League since 2005 as the Wildcats ran in 11 tries.
"I'm really glad the Wigan fans stayed behind at the end and clapped the players," said 51-year-old Wane.

He told BBC Radio Manchester: "I'm sure they understand the situation we're in and nobody else in Super League probably will.
"People will be glad we've been beaten that way, but in the inner circle of the club I'm very, very relaxed.
"I'm really disappointed with the scoreline but I am a realist and I know what has gone on - nobody outside the club knows."
The AA has estimated about half of all drivers will be on the road as holidaymakers mix with school and commuter traffic.
Roadworks across 97% of the motorway and A-roads were due to be finished or lifted by 06:00, but 57 sets will stay in place for safety reasons.
Engineering work will affect about 5% of rail routes over the next week.

The £60m investment is being made because school holidays are traditionally quieter.
Meanwhile, Heathrow Airport is expected to see 850,000 people travel through it this weekend.
Some 200,000 more families than usual will use it over Easter.
The AA said it expected Easter to be busier than last year, with 11 million vehicles on the road, after a survey of its members suggested 55% planned to go somewhere by car on Thursday, compared with 47% in 2015.
The number is expected to fall to 50% on Good Friday.
The average journey for anyone travelling for leisure is expected to be about 35 miles (56km), with roads through Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somerset expected to be among the busiest.

M5 from Junction 15 (Almondsbury) towards J31 (Exeter for West Country)
M6 through West Midlands (from J4A) and northwards (J21A)
M25 especially both ways around J14/17 for Heathrow and M4 or M40
Max Holdstock, from the AA, said: "Despite a more chilly Easter coming up, we expect more people to head out on the road. There will be a lot of pressure on the main getaway routes, particularly heading down to south-west England. and the likes of the M25, M1 and M6 are also going to be very busy.
"With around half planning to visit friends and family, there will be many people racking up quite large distances. For some, it will be their first long-distance car journey of the year, which can reveal underlying mechanical problems that didn't manifest themselves during short winter trips."
Highways England said it planned to finish or lift 208 sets of roadworks in time for the getaway. Work on 75 sites will not start again until just after midnight on Tuesday 29 March.
However, 57 sets of roadworks will stay in place because they have large excavation or major structural projects which would make them unsafe to lift. They include five miles worth of narrow lanes on the M6 between junctions 19 and 20 near Knutsford.

More than 450 rail engineering projects are being carried out from late on Thursday over the Easter holidays. Network Rail said it had chosen now because fewer than half of the usual 4.5 million passengers are using the railways. It has warned people to check before they travel.
Work will mean reduced services on the Brighton main line while two of four lines will shut between London Paddington and Reading.
Services between Wolverhampton and Birmingham are also disrupted until the end of Wednesday 30 March, with London Midland running replacement bus services.
No rail services at all are running to or from Salford Central or Manchester Victoria until Monday 4 April. Replacement buses will be in use and trams will still run.
Services to Heathrow Airport will be reduced from four an hour to two on Saturday and Easter Monday.

Heathrow Airport is preparing for 850,000 people to travel over the weekend, including 200,000 more families than usual.
Meanwhile, Birmingham Airport expects to see 139,293 passengers come and go between Thursday and Easter Monday.
The busiest day for departures from Birmingham is Saturday with 15,873 people booked on to flights.
Mr Daniels will lose £580,000 after his original £1.45m bonus was cut by 40%.
Bonuses for another four directors will be cut by £190,000 to £260,000, while a further eight executives will receive about £100,000 less.
They are being penalised for the bank's mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI).
In theory, PPI covered repayments if borrowers were unable to keep them up, promising help during illness or unemployment, but in many cases, those taking out the policies would not have been eligible to claim on them.
Lloyds has been forced to set aside £3.2bn to cover compensation for those customers who were mis-sold PPI.
Lloyds said in a statement that it would make an adjustment to a proportion of the bonus awards for 2010, because if it had been aware of the mis-selling and the cost of putting it right, the bonus pool and the awards from it would have been smaller.
By Robert PestonBusiness editor
The cut will be made by reducing the amounts already awarded in deferred shares.
Bonuses for 2011 will also be lower than planned.
This is the first time a British bank has taken back bonuses from executives, following a financial performance that was worse than expected.
The return of some of the bonuses, which were demanded by regulators after the banking crisis of 2008, are being made after pressure from politicians and the Financial Services Authority.
Lloyds Banking Group is the UK's biggest lender and owns the Halifax, the Bank of Scotland and the Cheltenham and Gloucester.
The bank will publish its results this Friday and is expected to announce a loss of about £3.5bn.
Its current chief executive, Antonio Horta-Osorio, said in January he would not take an annual bonus for 2011.
Our business editor says the retrospective cut in these bonuses may have a deterrent effect in future, making bankers more likely to consider the consequences when they launch new products or do assorted deals.
Chris Skinner, the chairman of the Financial Services Club, said: "It will be interesting to see if other banks follow this lead."
In January, the company was told it must quit the cross-Channel ferry market following a ruling by the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
But Court of Appeal judges overturned the decision by a majority of two to one on Friday.
MyFerryLink, which has been operating the service since 2012, described it as a "momentous victory".
Raphael Doutrebente, of MyFerryLink, said the decision should "spell the end of the road" for the Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) "attempts to suppress" its cross-Channel service.
"The decision of the Court of Appeal is very comprehensive, exposing fatal flaws in the CMA's analysis," he added.
"The decision represents a significant victory both for our dedicated employees and for our customers, who will continue to benefit from healthy competition on the short sea route."
MyFerryLink has been running up to 24 daily crossings on the Dover-Calais route using three former SeaFrance ships that Eurotunnel bought when the operator went bust in 2012.
The CMA claimed Eurotunnel had more than half the market share of Channel crossings when its rail link and ferry operations were both taken into consideration.
In a statement the CMA said would "study the judgment carefully and consider its next steps".
The report published in the journal Nature showed that overall the number of infections fell by 50% across the continent.
Bed nets were responsible for the vast majority of the decrease.
There have also been calls to maintain funding to ensure the progress is not undone.
Meanwhile, a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the charity Unicef say malaria death rates have fallen 60% globally since 2000 and more than six million lives have been saved.
The report said 13 countries that had malaria in 2000 reported no cases in 2014 while a further six countries had fewer than ten cases.
However, Africa still accounts from 80% of cases and 78% of deaths.
Dr Margaret Chan, the director general of the WHO, said: "Global malaria control is one of the great public health success stories of the past 15 years.
"It's a sign that our strategies are on target, and that we can beat this ancient killer, which still claims hundreds of thousands of lives, mostly children, each year."
The executive director of Unicef, Anthony Lake, argued: "We know how to prevent and treat malaria. Since we can do it, we must."
The researchers from the University of Oxford analysed data from 30,000 sites in sub-Saharan Africa to estimate that 663 million cases were prevented over the past 15 years.
One of the researchers, Dr Samir Bhatt, told the BBC News website: "It's just phenomenal.
"Just by putting in these interventions you've managed to save all these cases, 700 million is a huge number and that's the reality of what happened and that's why it's such an optimistic message."
But despite the progress, the job is far from done. A child still dies from malaria every minute in Africa.
The rate of improvement is also slowing - cases were falling by 9% a year up to 2011 but that has since fallen to 5%.
Dr Bhatt added: "We need to really be careful that we don't start reducing the number of interventions and keep driving forwards. We need to keep redoubling efforts."
Drug resistance is also a worry. Dr Bhatt describes mosquitoes being able to shrug off the effects of some insecticides as an "absolutely huge" issue in Africa.
Meanwhile, resistance to the drug artemisinin has been detected in south-east Asia and would seriously hamper efforts to control the disease if resistance spread to Africa.
Eight African countries are aiming to eliminate the disease by 2020 including Namibia.
The country's former health minister Dr Richard Kamwi, whose brother died from malaria, said there had been a "drastic reduction" in cases in his country.
He warned that any cuts to funding "would be very unfortunate".
He told the BBC News website: "I have seen some countries where elimination was almost in sight and when they stopped indoor spraying we have seen resurgence.
"I want to emphasise to big funders and government [the need] to keep up their support."
Meanwhile, a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the charity Unicef say malaria death rates have fallen 60% globally since 2000 and more than six million lives have been saved.

As well as a complete overhaul, the aircraft was given new nose art featuring a kangaroo and bagpipes.
It is part of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, is currently at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford.
The Lancaster is due to return to its base for the BBMF's 60th anniversary celebrations next week.
After the flight on Monday, Flt Lt Tim Dunlop tweeted that the aircraft now has a "new car smell".
The Aircraft Restoration Company, which carried out the nine-month project on the aircraft, described it as "an honour and a privilege".
The Lancaster was previously grounded in 2015 after an engine fire.
One of only two in the world permitted to fly, it was forced to miss most of the display season.
Speaking at the time, Flt Lt Dunlop said it was very frustrating.
"These historic aircraft are happiest in the air and that's where we want them to be - as a living memorial to the crews who flew them," he said.
Following the incident, the Lancaster was also excluded from VE Day commemorations.
However, it is hoped the aircraft will return to Coningsby in time to be part of the BBMF's 60th anniversary celebrations on 11 July.
The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, who is patron of the flight, will also be in attendance.
More than 7,300 Lancasters were built during World War Two but most were scrapped in the years after 1945.
The BBMF's Lancaster, formerly known as Thumper, is allowed to fly a strictly limited number of hours each year, in order to extend its airworthiness.
The 31-year-old won in 41 minutes 32.126 seconds, just over a second ahead of championship leader Maverick Vinales of Spain.
Another Italian, Danilo Petrucci, was third on his Ducati.
Yamaha's Valentino Rossi, who suffered a motocross training accident last month, finished fourth having led.
Three-time world champion Jorge Lorenzo also led in the opening laps before the Spaniard dropped off the pace as Dovizioso, Vinales and Petrucci took up the challenge.
Dovizioso grabbed the lead on lap 14 of 23 before Vinales zipped past Petrucci at Turn One to move into a position to challenge the Italian.
However, Dovizioso held off the Spaniard to become the fourth different winner in six races this season.
Vinales' second place saw him increase his championship lead to 26 points

Gunmen stormed the Holey Artisan Bakery cafe in Dhaka late on Friday before troops entered almost 12 hours later.
Six attackers were also killed and one was arrested, officials said. Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina has declared two days of national mourning.
Nine Italians, seven Japanese, one US citizen and an Indian also died.
Bangladesh Army Brig Gen Naim Asraf Chowdhury said the victims had been "brutally" attacked with sharp weapons.
Italy's Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said one other Italian was still unaccounted for. Many of the Italians reportedly worked in the garment industry.
Japan said one of its nationals was among 13 people rescued. The seven that died were consultants for Japan's foreign aid agency and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said they "were giving their all for the development of Bangladesh".
Two Sri Lankans were among those rescued.
Nine Italians named by the Italian foreign ministry as: Cristian Rossi; Marco Tondat; Nadia Benedetti; Adele Puglisi; Simona Monti; Claudia Maria D'Antona; Vincenzo D'Allestro; Maria Rivoli and Claudio Cappelli
Seven Japanese. Names not released
Three Bangladeshis named in national media as Faraaz Ayaaz Hossain and Abinta Kabir, both students at Emory University in the US, and Ishrat Akhond. It is believed Abinta Kabir could also be a US citizen
One Indian. Tarushi Jain, 18, who was a student at the University of California, Berkeley
More about the victims
IS later released pictures online of five men it says carried out the attack. The smiling militants are shown posing in front of a black IS flag.
The SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist networks, said the images identified the attackers by noms-de-guerre indicating they were Bangladeshi.
The siege began as diners gathered to break their fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Bangladesh's Daily Star newspaper said the gunmen tortured anyone who was unable to recite the Koran. They provided meals overnight for only the Bangladeshi captives, it said.
"It was an extremely heinous act," Ms Hasina said in a televised statement. "What kind of Muslims are these people? They don't have any religion.
Sumon Reza, a supervisor at the cafe in the Gulshan district of Dhaka, managed to flee to the roof when the attackers burst in.
"The whole building was shaking when they set off explosives," he told local media. He later jumped from the roof and escaped.
Street 79 in Dhaka's upmarket Gulshan area is remarkably quiet. The street is barricaded with scores of heavily armed police.
"Please sir, please move back," one police officer tells us, politely but firmly.
The tension in the air is palpable. As more media teams arrive, the officer loses his temper and screams at his men, telling them to make sure no-one crosses the barricade.
The Holey Artisan Bakery is known as a bustling cafe popular with expats and wealthy locals.
"There is an open-air terrace overlooking a lake," Dhaka Mayor Annisul Huq tells me.
"That's why it was so popular. It was so serene. I can't believe that this has happened to my Dhaka, I simply cannot."
He has cut short a trip to Moscow and is visibly shaken.
People mill around, talking in whispers. There is fear in the air, but also disbelief at the nature of the attack and the brutality of it - the selective targeting of foreigners and the manner in which they were killed.
The attack began when the armed men burst into the cafe at about 21:20 (15:20 GMT) on Friday and opened fire.
Media reports quoted witnesses as saying that they shouted "Allahu Akbar", meaning "God is great".
At least two police officers were killed in exchanges of fire and 30 police officers were injured.
A statement on IS's self-styled Amaq news agency said militants had attacked a restaurant "frequented by foreigners".
The attack comes after a spate of murders of secular bloggers, gay activists, academics and members of religious minorities, blamed on Islamist militants.
Red Bull are without an engine partner for 2016 after all-but finalising a split from Renault but failing to secure an alternative supply.
Team principal Christian Horner said: "At this point, everything is open.
"Is it likely we'll be with Renault? Difficult to see that would be the case but in F1 nothing is impossible."

Horner said the termination of Red Bull's contract with Renault, which was due to last until the end of 2016, had not been finalised.
However, a continuation of the relationship would be a major climbdown for Red Bull, who have been heavily critical of the French company over the past two years as it failed to produce a competitive engine under F1's new turbo hybrid rules.
Horner, whose team won four consecutive world title doubles with Renault engines, said: "Maybe we have been guilty of being too honest on occasion."
He added: "We have enjoyed a long relationship with Renault - nine years. We have had some good years and some tough years. The last couple of years have been tough.
"We have pushed Renault because we're hungry for success and sometimes it's got uncomfortable.
"We just have to be open-minded and come up with the best solution for the team."
Renault Sport boss Cyril Abiteboul told Autosport: "Frankly, when you see the way we have been treated, it's going to be a very difficult sell to my board and to my executive management to do something else to what is currently planned."
Red Bull have been in talks with Ferrari since Mercedes told them in September they were not prepared to give them an engine.
But Ferrari have so far offered Red Bull only a supply of their 2015 engine, not their definitive 2016 design, which will be supplied to customers Sauber and Haas - the new US-based team - as well as to their factory team.
Ferrari's position is Red Bull approached them too late and they are not set up to supply any further 2016 engines.

Mercedes F1 team boss Toto Wolff reaffirmed at this weekend's Russian Grand Prix that the German company would not supply engines to Red Bull.
Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz has said he will pull both his teams out of F1 if he cannot get an engine that allows them to be sufficiently competitive.
The team have previously said they think it will be another two years at least before Renault is able to produce a competitive engine.
The 2015 Ferrari engine is very similar in performance to the standard-setting Mercedes and in the region of 50bhp more powerful than the Renault.
Horner said: "I am working very hard to try to find a solution in the coming weeks. We have to find a way to get as competitive an engine as possible in the car and to satisfy our shareholders and Mr Mateschitz."
In a report, the UK-based human rights group says the abuse has been taking place during a disarmament campaign in the eastern Jonglei state.
Amnesty urges South Sudan to take "immediate action" to end the violence.
The government in Juba has played down the scale of the violations, saying they are isolated cases.
Amnesty says its researches interviewed scores of people in the region, who described widespread torture and abuse against civilians, including children as young as 18 months old.
It also says that in some cases the security forces looted property and destroyed crops.
"Far from bringing security to the region, the SPLA [South Sudan Army] and the police auxiliary forces have committed shocking human rights violations," said Audrey Gaughran, Amnesty's Africa director.
She accused the authorities of "doing very little to stop the abuse".
The government launched Operation Restore Peace in March in response to ethnic clashes in Jonglei in which hundreds of people were killed.
South Sudan's Information Minister Barnaba Mariel Benjamin told the BBC's Newsday programme that any abuse was isolated and was being "handled responsibly by the government because the disarmament programme is being done side by side with the presence of the UN peacekeeping forces".
"To say that there is a widespread abuses... I think that is not true," he said, accusing Amnesty of being unfair by not asking the government for its comment before publishing the report.
BBC Africa analyst Grant Ferrett says the danger is that the alleged abuse could fuel resentment and a new round of conflict.
The visitors withstood heavy pressure in a goalless first half as goalkeeper John Danby was kept busy in Serbia.
Vojvodina had 24 shots to the Nomads' one, with 87% possession, and the Welsh side were finally beaten by Aleksandar Palocevic's 86th-minute goal.
The second leg takes place at Rhyl's Belle Vue Stadium on Thursday, 21 July.
Connah's Quay are Wales' only remaining representatives in the competition after Bala Town and Llandudno bowed out.
The Nomads progressed to the second qualifying round after beating Norwegian side Stabaek 1-0 on aggregate.
England left Northampton centre Burrell, 27, out of the squad in favour of Burgess, 26, who has since returned to league with South Sydney Rabbitohs.
"I have got no grudge against Sam. He didn't put himself in the team. He had an opportunity of a lifetime and he was able to live that dream," said Burrell.
"I had to get behind the team, stomach what happened and try to support them."
Burgess featured in England's opening three World Cup matches before being dropped for the final fixture against Uruguay as the side went out in the group stages.
He subsequently left Premiership side Bath just one year into a three-year deal earlier this month to return to Sydney.
"He's gone back to a game he probably knows better and probably is better suited to. He's a fantastic icon in Australia and Sydney and he's going to be a huge asset in rugby league," Burrell, capped 13 times by England, told BBC Radio Northampton.
"I put on the TV and watch the NRL and get behind him and his brothers. He's a player that grew up not so far from me in west Yorkshire so we've known about each other for a while.
"For me it was about wishing him the best of luck, my issue wasn't with him whatsoever."
Burrell, who has been at Saints since 2012, admitted he struggled to deal with being dropped by then head coach Stuart Lancaster, who left his post earlier this month.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Remembering the meeting with Lancaster, Burrell said: "As soon as I walked through the door I knew, I could feel it in the air, I could see it in his face.
"I just kind of sat there in silence, just let him speak and he told me. I just got up and left, trying to hold back my emotion, but I found that very difficult.
"Mentally, I was gone. I was broken. I was the one who was pretty broken down in that room."
And Burrell said of Lancaster: "He let me down. That is how I feel about him.
"I have known Stuart a long time. I have a huge amount of respect for the bloke, what he's done and what he has achieved.
"I didn't think I had done anything to justify not getting selected."
Scarborough in North Yorkshire, has the joint highest rate of amputations along with Mansfield in Nottinghamshire.
They had 4.9 per 1,000 adults with diabetes, eight times more than Brent, north-west London, with only 0.6 per 1,000 patients in the past three years.
Overall, the number of patients having an amputation is on the increase.
According to the Hospital Episode Statistics and Quality and Outcomes Framework, there were 19,066 amputations carried out between 2009-12, and 22,109 between 2012-15 - an increase of 3,043.
Dave Campbell, from Scarborough, lost four toes due to complications with diabetes.
The true cost of type 2 diabetes
He says he got an ulcer in his foot which became infected, resulting in him having two toes amputated. The same thing happened again two years later.
"Fortunately I still have the big toe, which is very helpful as far as balance is concerned," he said.
"Everything I do has to be done at a slow pace."
Katharine Speak, the lead on diabetes and high-risk podiatry services in North Yorkshire, said people with diabetes may not always be getting the right treatment at the right time.
"We are not seeing the patient soon enough," she said.
"Sometimes they feel that they can deal with things themselves and once it's got out of control there is very little we can do to get it back."
Chris Gosling, from Scarborough's Diabetes UK support group, said: "There is the impression that Scarborough is a nice holiday town, but in fact it has one of the highest deprivation rates in Yorkshire.
"People aren't aware of the complications of diabetes, they do not have a GP possibly, there are a lot of hard to reach groups who don't use the medical facilities, and it is not diagnosed quickly enough."
Stephen Ryan, Regional Head of Diabetes UK said: "We know that up to 80% of amputations can be avoided with good diabetes care and improved footcare.
"We need to make sure that everyone with diabetes gets good quality annual foot checks and knows how to reduce their risk of foot problems, and that anyone who has a foot problem gets the right care to prevent or treat it.
"It is particularly important that if anyone with diabetes has a foot infection they get urgent attention from a multidisciplinary team of specialists."
Police were called to Downham Road in Ramsden Heath at about 11:00 GMT following a call from the East of England Ambulance Service.
A man in his 40s was airlifted to Basildon Hospital. His injuries are described as serious but not life-threatening.
Officers are looking for a woman who left the scene and say they are "concerned for her welfare".
The man and the woman were known to each other, an Essex Police spokeswoman said. A weapon was recovered from the scene, she added.
The National Police Air Service helicopter based at Boreham, near Chelmsford, said on its Twitter account that it was also involved in looking for the woman.
East Super League junior outfit Bonnyrigg Rose were the thorn in Dumbarton's side on Tuesday, winning 1-0 in a Scottish Cup third round replay.
It's only gone and set up a fourth-round tie against cup holders and local rivals Hibernian.
The Rosey Posey hope the tie can be moved to Tynecastle, but in the meantime here are four things you might not know about the Midlothian club.
Bonnyrigg Rose list former James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery as one of their former players.
The Edinburgh-born actor, now 86, spent a couple of seasons with the Midlothian club in the early 1950s when he was in his twenties.
Turning to a life on screen seemed to be a sensible choice, though, because Connery is not remembered for lighting up junior football stadiums across the central belt of Scotland.
But there was one reference in the Dalkeith Advertiser from 1951 that described him scoring "with a 30-yard shot in a 3-1 defeat by Broxburn Athletic".
Other notable former players include Pat Stanton (Hibs) and John White (Tottenham).
Hearts through and through, you can understand why Rosey Posey boss Robbie Horn is desperate to get their fourth round tie against Hibs staged at Tynecastle.
Horn is 39 now but was on Hearts' books as a young footballer. A centre-half, he struggled to break through with the Jam Tarts but did manage six Scotland Under-21 caps and a run-out at Craig Levein's testimonial.
Horn went on to play for Forfar Athletic and Berwick Rangers, where he was later assistant manager.
The Rose's New Dundas Park plays a vital role in the community and amongst other things, gives a base to Bonnyrigg Homing Society.
Pigeons come and pigeons go, especially on Saturday mornings before a match later in the afternoon.
But Rosey Posey club secretary Robert Dickson talks fondly of their feathered friends, insisting the players and fans are happy to share the stadium with a few extra "wingers".
As always with junior or part-time teams, there are a wide range of day jobs among the Bonnyrigg Rose squad.
Their goal hero against Dumbarton, Adam Nelson, is a custody officer.
Star striker Keiran McGachie is a leisure centre manager.
Right-back Alan Horne is a laboratory technician.
Centre-back Dean Hoskins is a steel fabricator.
And goalkeeper Michael Andrews is a media sales executive.
Mr Wright has faced calls to step down after a report on child abuse in Rotherham, where he managed children's services between 2005 and 2010.
The report said at least 1,400 children were sexually exploited from 1997-2013, mainly by gangs of Pakistani heritage.
A Labour MP now wants a possible misconduct case against Mr Wright.
The report also revealed there had been three previous inquiries, including one written in 2006 during Mr Wright's tenure in children's services, which provided "stark evidence" of the situation in Rotherham.
Meanwhile, the former director of children's services in Rotherham, Sonia Sharp, said she was briefed by politicians, senior managers and frontline staff about the issue of sexual exploitation of young people when she took up her post in 2005. She left Rotherham Council in 2008.
Dr Sharp said it was already known when she joined there were "many children in the community at risk" and staff feared "this was the tip of an iceberg".
Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles attacked poor scrutiny in local government.
He said: "It is appalling that institutionalised political correctness led to the council turning a blind eye to heinous crimes.
"Britons across class, colour and creed will be appalled at the criminal acts that were committed and the failure of municipal governance.
"The biggest enemy to good community relations is failing to confront and challenge those who do wrong.
"This is a wake up call for local government - from the inadequate scrutiny by councillors of protection for the vulnerable to the conspiracy to cover up uncomfortable truths to avoid awkward questions, and the subsequent failure to sack those guilty of gross misconduct."
In a statement, Mr Wright said he had "formally" tendered his resignation from the Labour Party.
But Mr Wright insisted he was the most appropriate person to hold the office of commissioner (PCC).
"I remain committed to, and intend to remain in, my role as an Independent Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire," he said.
"As a father, and a citizen of South Yorkshire, my thoughts are with the victims and their families and I reiterate my apology to them and take full responsibility for my part in the collective failures which took place at Rotherham Council during the time I was in office, and indeed to that end I resigned in 2010," he continued.
"I stand by my earlier comments that I've taken that experience to deliver a major transformation in the way South Yorkshire Police deals with horrific crimes such as child sexual exploitation, and much progress has been made since I was elected as commissioner in terms of supporting victims, taking preventive action, increasing awareness of the issue and bringing criminals to justice."
Rotherham isn't alone in facing the distressing problem of child sexual abuse. But the report exposed a deeply dysfunctional system here.
The council insists things have improved significantly in recent years. Many, though, are still shocked that efforts to confront exploitation fell woefully short.
Was there a particular problem specific to Rotherham? Did Labour's total dominance of this authority allow a complacent, rotten culture to develop? Was the political opposition so enfeebled that effective challenge to the leadership was striking by its absence?
As people here reflect on these political questions, it's worth thinking for a moment about the complex, corporate identity of modern councils. Social workers report to safeguarding managers, child protection co-ordinators, directors of services, and chief executives. All overseen by 63 elected councillors.
Such a complex web of relationships. So many different chains of command - making true accountability very hard to establish.
While Mr Wright's has refused to to stand down, Rotherham Council leader Roger Stone resigned with immediate effect on Tuesday.
Mr Stone, who had been the leader since 2003, said: "I believe it is only right that as leader I take responsibility for the historic failings described so clearly."
Shadow policing minister Jack Dromey had earlier told the BBC Mr Wright would be suspended from the Labour Party if he had not resigned by Thursday morning.
Now Labour backbencher John Mann MP is to write to Home Secretary Theresa May asking for the police to investigate whether a case of misconduct in public office could be brought against Mr Wright and others involved in the allegations in Rotherham.
Mr Mann said the inquiry should not be carried out by South Yorkshire Police, but by another force.
Mrs May has said Mr Wright should "heed calls" to resign, though she stressed it was not her job to hire and fire PCCs.
"I think he has real questions to answer," she said.
Rotherham MP Sarah Champion has also called for Mr Wright's resignation, along with shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper, shadow chancellor Ed Balls and shadow youth justice and victims minister Dan Jarvis.
The BBC has asked the Labour Party to comment on why Mr Wright was selected as its candidate for the PCC elections in 2012 but has not yet received a response.
Deputy Prime Minister and MP for Sheffield Hallam Nick Clegg has also called on Mr Wright to quit. Speaking on his weekly LBC Radio phone-in, he said his message to Mr Wright was: "Please do the decent thing and stand aside because you have to take responsibility."
Shaun Wright, 46, was born in Royston, near Barnsley in South Yorkshire. He lives in Rawmarsh, Rotherham, with his wife Lisa and two sons.
In 2000 he was elected as the councillor for Rawmarsh and in 2005 he was appointed as the cabinet member for children and young people's services.
In 2010 he stood down from the post and in 2011 was appointed mayor of Rotherham.
The following year he was elected as the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire, earning a salary of ??85,000.
Shortly after he was elected PCC he stood down from his role as councillor for Rawmarsh.
Mr Wright is also a former vice chair of South Yorkshire Police Authority, a magistrate, a school governor and a trustee of the Coalfields Regeneration Trust.
Harry Harpham, chairman of South Yorkshire's police and crime panel, which scrutinises the work of the South Yorkshire PCC, told the BBC's Today programme Mr Wright's position had become "untenable" and he should go "at the earliest opportunity"
He said: "He can only be removed from office by resigning or unless he commits a criminal offence.
"We are not able to remove him, however, I will seek an urgent meeting with Shaun to let him know my position."
Under the legislation that created the roles in 2012, a PCC can only be suspended if:
(a) the commissioner has been charged in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man with an offence, and
(b) the offence is one which carries a maximum term of imprisonment exceeding two years
Meanwhile, former Rotherham council chief executive Mike Cuff has also said he had to "take my share of responsibility for the council's failure to prevent the appalling abuse which has been so clearly described in this independent report". He added that he was "truly sorry".
Mr Cuff, who was the council's chief executive from 2004 to 2009, echoed Mr Wright's apology.
"It was on my watch that the organised abuse of young girls by a gang of Asian men came to light," he said.
"This led eventually to their conviction in 2010. I know that professional social workers and the police worked well together to support the abused girls and to secure the successful prosecution of their abusers."
This "close co-operation" between agencies "holds the key to the effective protection of vulnerable young people in the future", he added.
The report, commissioned by the council, was published on Tuesday and revealed the massive level of abuse in Rotherham, mainly by Pakistani heritage criminal gangs.
The inquiry team noted fears among council staff of being labelled "racist" if they focused on victims' descriptions of the majority of abusers as "Asian" men.

The location was disclosed by a member of a drugs gang who was attacked by residents of Carrizalillo.
The town is 75km (47 miles) south of Iguala, where 43 students disappeared over a year ago.
Carrizalillo residents say there was unusually high gang activity on the night of the students' disappearance.
Locals say that over the past years, the town has increasingly come under the control of the Guerreros Unidos (United Warriors) drugs gang, whose members extort local businesses and terrorise residents.
They say that in the early hours of 27 September 2014, dozens of armed men belonging to the gang arrived in Carrizalillo in pick-up trucks.
The students were last seen on 26 September 2014.
The government report into their disappearance said that they were seized by corrupt local police officers who handed them over to the Guerreros Unidos.
According to the report, the Guerreros Unidos mistook the students for members of rival drugs gang Los Rojos and killed them.
The report says that the Guerreros Unidos burned the bodies and dumped their remains in Cocula, a small town near Iguala.
However, an independent group of experts has cast doubt on this version of events and the Mexican authorities have reopened their investigation.
In the weeks after the students' disappearance, dozens of mass grave were discovered in Guerrero state.
Hardly any of the bodies have been identified but their discovery has revealed the extent of the violence and disappearances in this region of Mexico.
Relatives of the 43 students, who are still hoping to find them alive, have reacted with scepticism to the theories put forward by the residents of Carrizalillo.
The 43 were all students at an all-male teacher training college in the town of Aytozinapa, in south-western Guerrero state. The college has a history of left-wing activism and the students regularly took part in protests.
They disappeared from the nearby town of Iguala on the evening of 26 September 2014 amid a confrontation between municipal police and the students during which six people were killed.
Independent forensic experts have matched charred bone fragments reportedly found at a rubbish dump near Iguala to Alexander Mora, one of the 43 missing students. They also say there is a high probability another set of remains could belong to Jhosivani Guerrero de la Cruz, another of the students. However, experts from the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights say the chain of evidence was broken and they could not be sure the bone fragments had been found at the dump.
According to the official report, the students were seized by corrupt municipal police officers who handed them over to members of a local drugs gang. The drugs gang mistook the students for members of a rival gang, killed them and burned their bodies at the dump before throwing their ashes into a nearby stream.
They think officials have failed to investigate the role soldiers from a nearby barracks may have played in the students' disappearance. The government has refused to let the soldiers, who were in the area at the time of the disappearance, be questioned by anyone but government prosecutors. The families also point to the report by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights which said that there was no evidence the bodies of the 43 were burned at the dump.
In a report, it highlights "pressing problems" undermining the effectiveness of laws on buying and owning guns.
Its recommendations - designed to make laws "clearer" and ensure they keep up with technology - include creating a new offence of possessing tools to turn imitation firearms into live ones.
The Home Office said it would "carefully consider" the report.
The commission is an independent body which reviews laws in England and Wales and can recommend reforms.
Commenting on current laws, the commission said: "There are over 30 pieces of overlapping legislation, some of the key terminology - such as 'lethal', 'component part' and 'antique' - is not clearly defined, and the law has fallen out of step with developments in technology."
The report calls for an "approved standard" on deactivating firearms, to reduce the risk that a weapon can be reactivated.
The commission says tools to convert imitation firearms to live ones are increasingly available, and it proposes a new offence of "possessing an article with the intention of using it unlawfully to convert an imitation firearm into a live one".
To clarify definitions, the commission says there should be:
Prof David Ormerod QC, law commissioner for criminal law, said existing laws were causing "considerable difficulties" for investigators, prosecutors and people involved with licensed firearms.
"The purpose of our recommendations for reform is to provide immediate solutions to the most pressing problems in firearms law, bringing clarity for those who own and use firearms, and those who investigate and prosecute their misuse," he said.
"We remain of the view that the entire legislative landscape requires fundamental reform and should be codified."
A Home Office spokesman said: "The UK has some of the toughest gun laws in the world and we are determined to keep it that way."
He added: "We recognise the importance of strengthening legislation to guard against misuse of firearms and will carefully consider the recommendations in the Law Commission's report."
The opposition has called for Ms Rousseff's impeachment over a huge corruption scandal in the state-owned oil company, Petrobras.
Most of the politicians accused of taking bribes are from Brazil's governing coalition.
Anti-government marches are expected to take place on Sunday.
Ms Rousseff was head of Petrobras for seven years, when much of the corruption is believed to have taken place.
But she has not been implicated in the corruption scandal.
Government supporters say the calls for her impeachment, less than four months after she was re-elected to a second four-year term, amounts to a coup attempt.
Pro-government demonstrations are going ahead in 14 Brazilian states. Most of them have been called by unions that support the governing Workers' Party.
"I am here to prevent that they take away the social benefits we have earned," said 69-year-old Alaide Pereira da Silva at a march in the city of Ribeirao Preto, in Sao Paulo state.
"We can't blame Dilma [Rousseff]. The congressmen are to blame. She doesn't govern on her own," she told O Globo newspaper.
Last week, the Supreme Court approved the investigation of 54 people for their alleged involvement in the kickback scheme.
The list was prepared by the 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.
In December, prosecutors charged executives from six of the country's largest construction firms for allegedly channelling kickbacks into a Petrobras scheme to pay politicians.
The Met Office issued the yellow "be aware" weather warning following the sharp drop in the early hours of Sunday, and snowfall on Friday.
Widespread icy patches were expected on untreated roads.
The weather saw Wrexham FC's game against Forest Green postponed because of a frozen pitch.
The warning expired at midday, and although temperatures were expected to remain just a few degrees above freezing most of Wales was forecast clear skies and sunshine.
DNA tests are being carried out to establish whether two senior figures in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - its leader Nasser al-Wuhayshi and bombmaker Ibrahim al-Asiri - are among them.
However, US officials say neither man was an intended target of the strikes.
Training camps in remote, mountainous areas and several vehicles were hit.
The last strike reportedly destroyed a 4x4 carrying at least three men that was travelling through the province of Shabwa.
Witnesses said that soldiers in an unmarked helicopter arrived at the scene soon afterwards to retrieve their bodies, suggesting one or more of them might have been a senior militant.
The strikes in Shabwa and the neighbouring provinces of Bayda and Abyan started on Saturday and ended shortly after midnight on Monday.
A top Yemeni official told the AFP news agency that the "unprecedented" air campaign came after "information that al-Qaeda was plotting attacks on vital installations, military and security, as well as foreign interests".
Yemen's interior ministry said that as many as 55 militants including three "leaders" of al-Qaeda, had been killed on Sunday and early Monday, and another 10 on Saturday.
The report sparked rumours that Wuhayshi and Asiri were among the dead, and on Tuesday Yemeni officials revealed that they were carrying out DNA tests in an effort to identify several bodies.
Wuhayshi, a Yemeni former aide to Osama Bin Laden, is said to have overseen the formation of al-Qaeda in Yemen and later the merger with the Saudi offshoot of the jihadist militant network that led to the creation of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
He appeared in a video last week warning that AQAP would fight Western "Crusaders" and their allies everywhere.
Asiri is a Saudi who US counter-terrorism officials have accused of making the bombs used in a string of high-profile operations by AQAP.
He is believed to have built the device his younger brother used in an assassination attempt on Saudi Arabia's deputy interior minister in August 2009, and the underwear bomb a Nigerian man tried to detonate in an aircraft over the US in December 2009.
US officials told the New York Times that they had been trying to kill Wuhayshi and Asiri, but that they had not been the intended targets of the strikes over the weekend.
The senior Yemeni official said Yemeni MiG-29 fighter jets took part in the raids, which tribal and local sources said also involved US drones.
Both the CIA and the Pentagon declined to comment on the operations, and White House spokesman Jay Carney referred all questions to the authorities in Sanaa.
Meanwhile, four security officers have been killed in a series of attacks in the past two days in the capital Sanaa and the central city of Harib, officials say. A colonel in the military police was shot dead by two men on a motorcycle as he was walking to work on Tuesday morning.
Livermore, 29, won 4x100m gold - with Usain Bolt, Kemar Bailey-Cole and Nickel Ashmeade - and individual 200m bronze at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
He returned the positive result - for an unnamed substance - in an out-of-competition test in December.
A full hearing is set for 11 September.
Following a preliminary hearing on Friday, Kent Gammon, chairman of the independent three-member panel, said Livermore had violated the rules of the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (Jadco).
Jadco is a separate body to the anti-doping disciplinary panel, but will be represented at September's hearing.
Livermore is not part of the Jamaica squad for next month's World Athletics Championships in London.

Nadia Savchenko appeared furious after her statement was refused, despite 90 minutes remaining of what was expected to be her last full day in court.
Summing up, Ms Savchenko's lawyers described the case as a show trial.
She denies directing artillery fire from a Ukrainian volunteer battalion at the Russian journalists in June 2014.
Ms Savchenko has become a heroine in Ukraine where she is a symbol of the country's resistance against Russia. She regularly declared "Glory to Ukraine" to family and supporters in the court.
She was elected in absentia to Ukraine's parliament in September 2014, three months after she was captured by pro-Russian rebels.
The helicopter pilot was tried in a cramped courtroom in the small Russian town of Donetsk, close to the border with Ukraine.
Nadia Savchenko was clearly infuriated by this unexplained delay. She had been expecting to make her final statement and there was still plenty of time before the court closed.
Instead, the judges rose and rushed out. Their announcement of a break until 9 March was barely audible. From her courtroom cage, Ms Savchenko yelled that she was declaring a hunger strike. "Even if they kill me," she vowed in Ukrainian, "they won't break my spirit or the spirit of Ukraine."
She was still shouting about the lack of justice in Russia when journalists were ushered out by armed bailiffs in balaclavas. Outside the defence lawyers were equally stunned. One wondered whether the contents of her final speech had unnerved the court; another guessed at some kind of backroom deal between Moscow and Kiev over a prisoner swap.
Ms Savchenko's decision to call a hunger strike will add pressure to proceedings. She has already refused food twice before for long stretches. This time she has vowed to refuse water as well.
She faces 23 years in prison if found guilty.
Ms Savchenko appeared on Thursday dressed in a traditional embroidered Ukrainian blouse and watched proceedings from a wooden and metal cage.
Representatives from the embassies of Canada, Sweden and the EU are monitoring her trial, along with her younger sister, Vira, and a few friends.
The prosecution argues that it has proven her guilt in relation to the murders of two Russian state TV journalists during fighting in eastern Ukraine.
They say she acted as a spotter, deliberately directing mortar fire at the journalists out of "hatred" for all Russians.
She is also charged with the attempted murder of the team's cameraman - who was not injured - and illegally crossing the border into Russia.
Her defence argues that the evidence against her does not stack up. They say she was abducted by pro-Russian separatists, handed over to the Russian authorities and smuggled across the border by her captors.
Telephone records show she was captured before the journalists were killed, the defence argues.
The bomb damage diagrams are aerial photographs of Berlin, Cologne and Dresden, overlaid with coloured areas indicating how much damage was caused by the strategic bombing campaign.
They were included in the campaign's so-called Blue Books - used as propaganda to justify the bombing raids.
The maps, held in the Imperial War Museum's archives, have been collated by military cartography historian Peter Chasseaud.
On the following four maps, colour coding is used:
Numbers are used to mark buildings of interest like key factories, German ministries and the Gestapo headquarters.
Almost half of the 125,000 Bomber Command lost their lives, and their military commanders' policy of large-scale area bombing near the end of the war has long drawn criticism.
The young volunteers of Bomber Command destroyed German cities with several "thousand-bomber raids", killing between 300,000 and 600,000 civilians.
This aerial image of Cologne is from November 1944. The area to the west of the river, almost all coloured in dark blue, indicates the city centre.
Cologne had been the target of Britain's first "thousand bomber raid" on 30 May 1942.
"By this point, Cologne had been bombed many times," said Dr Chasseaud. "This image shows the result of many raids."
Studying the aerial photographs showed how much of the city had been destroyed - for example, if a shadow could be seen inside a wall, that meant its roof had collapsed.
Showing the most densely populated areas also indicated potential future targets.
The two images of Berlin show how much the city had suffered during World War Two.
The first shows north west Berlin in December 1943, with the second image depicting north east Berlin in March 1945.
The raids - carried out by the United States Army Air Forces by day and the RAF at night - had become increasingly destructive from 1943 onwards.
This Blue Book image shows Dresden in March 1945, just months before the end of the war. The city centre can be seen south of the river - largely in blue.
Dresden had been heavily raided the previous month, on 13 and 14 February, with more than 1,000 planes involved.
Some 25,000 people were killed in a firestorm and 75,000 of its 220,000 homes were destroyed.
British fire hazard maps, which show the areas of Berlin and Hamburg most susceptible to fire, are also being published for the first time.
This 1944 map of Hamburg was produced to show which areas of the city would burn the most easily, said Dr Chasseaud.
The fire hazard maps are coded red, for areas of high flammability, pink, for areas of medium flammability and purple, showing industrial areas and docklands.
Areas that have already been destroyed are left blank and again, numbers are used to mark buildings of special interest.
There are fewer areas in red on the Berlin fire hazard map, dating back to 1944, as it wasn't considered as easy to burn as some other cities, like Hamburg (above), said Dr Chasseaud.
This is because it wasn't a medieval wooden city, its buildings were not as close together and the centre of the city was more spacious than some others.
Dr Chasseaud explained: "I think it's important that maps like these, showing a very controversial episode from the war, notably the strategic bombing campaign, are in the open.
"There was a lot of opposition to the strategic bombing of Germany and debates fought in Parliament, and it's worth remembering that even during the war, people were speaking out against government policy and 'carpet bombing' in particular. There were huge civilian areas being targeted."
So-called carpet bombing - widespread bombing attacks - by the Allies became policy in 1942 after they decided that bombing a whole city was more effective than a more targeted approach.
Dr Chasseaud said there was a real "moral dilemma" over bombing civilian targets - adding this was a dilemma that remains today. Pinpoint bombing was seen as a "diversion" by Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris, head of Bomber Command.
"His main aim was to break the civilian population and bring war to an end that way," he said. "But he was wrong. Civilian morale never cracked, as it never did in the UK.
"It's quite clear from these maps that Bomber Harris had his own private agenda and was very keen to propagandise on his own behalf, and that of Bomber Command."
Dr Chasseaud stressed that the casualties from Bomber Command "should never be forgotten", along with the casualties in Germany - which were "even worse".
The Blue Books held by the Imperial War Museum were owned by the British Joint Staff Mission in Washington DC, who had been responsible for handling copies destined for then US President Franklin D Roosevelt.
Only a small number of the books, which were intended to show how effective the RAF campaign was compared with their counterparts in the US, were ever produced.
More than 150 maps from the Imperial War Museum are being published in Dr Chasseaud's book, Mapping the Second World War, published by Collins on 8 October.
The commerce ministry is also banning the importation of so-called "rare earth metals" used in high-tech goods.
The UN Security Council voted in March to increase the sanctions.
The unanimous decision came after North Korea carried out a fourth nuclear test in January and launched a long-range rocket the following month.
The BBC's Robin Brant in Shanghai says this is a step closer to fully implementing the UN sanctions which China backed. Some doubt Beijing has been fully adhering to them.
The Chinese ban on exports is linked to any fuel or oil products that could be associated with North Korea's nuclear programme.
Our correspondent says these restrictions are likely to hurt as China accounts for the vast majority of trade with North Korea and mining is a key source of currency for the North.
According to AFP news agency, quoting Chinese customs figures, the coal trade between the neighbours was worth $1bn (£704m) last year.
But China's commerce ministry said the trade in coal would still be permitted as long as the revenue was intended for "people's well-being", Reuters news agency reports.
Some critics have likened this to a de facto loophole which could give China wiggle room to maintain trade, our correspondent says.
North Korea is China's third biggest supplier of coal, delivering 20m tonnes last year, Reuter reports.
Previous UN sanctions imposed after North Korean tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013 did little to dispel its nuclear ambitions.
The nuclear test on 6 January and a satellite launch on 7 February were violations of existing UN sanctions.
Last week, the US and Chinese leaders met on the sidelines of a nuclear summit in Washington about the situation in North Korea.
President Barack Obama said that he and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping had agreed to work together to try to prevent further missile tests by North Korea.
Testing times
Much of the burden of making sure the sanctions are implemented falls on China.
Under the new measures, any North Korean ships arriving in China must be inspected for contraband and imports halted if there is proof profits from those exchanges go towards the North's nuclear programme.
Washington has long pushed for Beijing to put more pressure on North Korea, saying in February that China's "unique influence over the North Korean regime" gave it the chance to do so.

More than 5,000 tonnes of oil were spilt when a large oil tanker, Eleni V, capsized off the Norfolk coast in 1978, polluting more than 20 miles of the coastline.
Trenches were dug to sink the oil below Gorleston beach, but recent stormy weather has eroded more than a mile of coastline, exposing the oil deposits.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council plans to skim some oil away but said the rest is expected to be covered by sand when the tide turns "within the next few days".
Three decades of sustained economic growth, concentrated along the booming coast, has lured millions from the impoverished Chinese countryside. This great migration - unprecedented in human history - has put 46 Chinese cities over the one million mark since 1992, out of a national total of 102.
And this is just the start.

China's new billionaires
Asia Business news
Currently only about 40% of China's population lives in cities, roughly that of America in 1885.
It is estimated that another 350 million Chinese will become urban by 2025, raising China's urban numbers to a cool billion.
Accommodating all these people has meant building on a scale the world has never seen before.
In the first 20 years of China's economic revolution, begun under Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970s, China built some 6.5bn sq m (70bn sq ft) of new housing - the equivalent of more than 150 million average-sized apartments.
In Shanghai there were no skyscrapers in 1980; today it has twice as many as New York. Between 1990 and 2004 developers erected 85m sq m of commercial space in the city - equivalent to 334 Empire State buildings.
Nationwide, China's construction industry employs a workforce of about 37 million.
Nearly half the world's steel and cement is devoured there, and much of the world's heavy construction equipment has relocated to the People's Republic. Tower cranes, for example, have become the ubiquitous symbol of urban China.
But China's urban revolution has also destroyed as much as it has built.
In its head-long rush to be rich and modern, China has deprived itself - and the world - of a priceless heritage.
Beijing, once among the world's great urban treasures, is fast becoming just another node of globalised consumerism; full of absurdly sanitised reconstitutions of its lost past, unaffordable to working people, lacerated by eight-lane highways.
Urban development in China has also displaced more people than any nation in peacetime.
In Shanghai alone, redevelopment projects in the 1990s displaced more residents than did 30 years of urban renewal in the United States.
Because China's cities are growing outward as well as upward, urbanisation has also consumed a staggering amount of rural countryside.
Between 1985 and 1995, Shanghai's footprint grew from 90 sq miles to 790.
The "spreading pancake" of urban growth in China - "tan da bing", the popular Chinese expression for sprawl - has devoured some 45,000 sq miles of productive farmland over the last 30 years, nearly half the land area of the United Kingdom.
Chinese suburban development is much more concentrated than in the US. Large detached homes owned by single-families - the American standard - are relatively rare.
The basic unit of Chinese suburbia - with its mid-rise apartment towers, community centre and shared public spaces - is half way between a Maoist "dan wei" (work unit) and a Californian gated community.
Nonetheless, such development on the urban periphery is fast making China a nation of motorists.
China's domestic car market now exceeds America's, and the largest car showrooms in the world today are not in Los Angeles or Houston but the People's Republic.
Accommodating the steady flow of new cars - Beijing and Shanghai average 1,000 new vehicle registrations a day - is a national road network on the verge of eclipsing the American interstate system as Earth's most extensive human artefact.
And with cars and highways have come all the standard spaces of suburban consumerism - drive-through restaurants and big-box shopping malls, budget chain motels, and even that vanished icon of middle America, the drive-in cinema.
None of this bodes well for planet Earth. How ironic that, just as the West has begun to get its environmental house in order - finally taking serious action to reduce its carbon footprint, combat global warming, and end its oil addiction - here come the millions of China, wanting the very lifestyle and material amenities that have put us on the verge of environmental collapse.
If China were to match, per capita, car ownership in the US (which is falling, incidentally), it would mean more than one billion cars.
The planet, in a word, would be fried.
And this takes no account of India, which will soon overtake China as the world's most populous nation.
Experts such as Paul Gilding have come up with a measure for our total global footprint in terms of our impact on the environment and resources. In his book The Great Disruption he concludes that our economy is operating at about 150% of capacity - in other words, the way we live will take between one-and-a-half planets to sustain.
That is not just unsustainable, it is a catastrophe.
And yet, who are we to say to China: "We've had our playful, wasteful day in the sun but you must now conserve."
Happily, we don't need to; the Chinese are saying it themselves.
Even as it sprawls, China is building more public transit than all other nations combined, and is well ahead of the US in developing sustainable building technologies and clean-energy alternatives such as solar, wind, and biomass.
According to a study by the Pew Charitable Trusts, China invested $34.6bn (£21bn) in the clean energy industry between 2005 and 2009 - nearly twice that of the US.
We may have taught China to drive, eat, and buy its way to ruin; China may yet show us how to save the world.

The Northern Ireland Under-19 captain, who signed a three-year contract in October, is set to undergo surgery.
"This is yet another blow for the club and for Ben personally," chairman Phil Wallace told the club website.
"I've never seen an injury crisis like this and I can't believe it's got worse."
Stevenage are 19th in the table, having failed to win any of their last five matches, but boss Teddy Sheringham has been cleared to seek reinforcements for his squad.
"Combined with various loan deals expiring, it does leave the squad particularly thin," added Wallace.

David Ward, Liberal Democrat MP for Bradford East, said some of his constituents had been quoted over £20,000 for basic car insurance.
Mr Ward is to hold a summit in Bradford on Tuesday to examine the problem.
Mr Ward said: "In this part of Bradford, it's a more serious issue than elsewhere. It can't go on."
An online petition set up by Mr Ward which calls for more affordable insurance, tougher policing of uninsured drivers and tighter regulation of claims companies has so far attracted more than 560 supporters.
Mr Ward said: "There isn't one cause and there isn't going to be one solution, but the cost of each claim is going up and up."
Bradford woman Leah Greaves, 20, who has just passed her driving test, said she was finding it difficult to get an affordable quote for her Vauxhall Corsa and was being offered quotes of £7,000 to £8,000.
Ms Greaves said the Gocompare website had even come up with a quote of £53,000.
However, in a statement, the firm said: "Gocompare do not display prices above £12,000 on their website as they feel that showing such high premiums would not be helpful to customers.
"It is possible that an insurance company could provide a quote in this region but it would not be displayed at Gocompare.com."
Members of the Bradford Hackney Carriage Owners and Drivers Association said they supported Mr Ward's campaign and would be attending the MP's summit.
Association member Shabir Munir said some drivers had found it "impossible" to continue running a cab and had handed back their licences.
He said: "The first thing the insurers say is that Bradford is blacklisted.
"They claim to have raised insurance by 20% to 30% when, in fact, it's more than 100%."
Malcolm Tarling, from the Association of British Insurers, said high premiums were an issue throughout the country, not just in Bradford.
However, Mr Tarling said the insurance industry was changing.
"If we can regulate, as we're trying to, legal costs and continue to cut fraud and reduce the number of uninsured drivers then premiums will start to fall."
Pegasus dominated their game against Pembroke Wanderers but had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Jill Ringwood gave Pembroke an early lead but Michelle Harvey equalised.
Ulster Elks, Belfast Harlequins and Ards were all beaten as Hermes-Monkstown remained two points clear at the top.
Ringwood scored after six minutes for Pembroke and it took until the 47th minute for Harvey to find the back of the net to earn a draw from her side's 12th penalty corner.
That goal earned a draw but it is a result that leaves the Belfast side in sixth place in the table.
The point for Pembroke moved them ahead of Belfast Harlequins and Ulster Elks in the three-team battle to avoid relegation.
The Elks lost 1-0 at Cork Harlequins with Michelle Barry getting the only goal of the game and they remain bottom on goal difference from Harlequins who were beaten 6-0 by Railway Union at Deramore.
The scoreline was flattering to the visitors and had Harlequins converted a couple of good first half chances the result might have been different.
Former Irish international Kate Dillon opened the scoring in the first quarter and two goals in the second quarter from Anna May Whelan and a penalty stroke from Orla Fox made it a mountain to climb for Harlequins.
Dillon, with her second, Zara Delaney and Kate Orr scored in the second half.
At the top of the table Hermes-Monkstown maintained their two point lead over UCD after a 4-0 home win over Ards.
Internationals Anna O'Flanagan, with another domestic hat-trick, and Chloe Watkins with a penalty stroke were the scorers.
An Orla Patton goal was enough for UCD to beat Loreto 1-0.
Saturday's results mean that the Ulster sides fill four of the bottom five places in the league.
Yet at a time when readers and advertisers are turning increasingly to the internet, where news is often free, does a newspaper, which charges £2.50 per paper edition, still have a promising future?
For more than a century already the FT has been learning to roll with the times.
When the Financial Times was founded through the merger of two other papers in 1888 it aimed to be the friend of "the honest financier" and "the respectable broker". It was initially a four page journal targeting city clientele.
Its owners decided to turn it pink either as a stroke of marketing genius to make it stand out from its rivals or because unbleached paper was cheaper, depending on which historian you believe.
Early on, a boom in South African gold mining shares helped it establish its financial niche with readers and advertisers.
In 1957 the paper was taken over by then oil-to-media company, Pearson, which brought with it additional capital. The stock market boom of the fifties and early sixties helped boost circulation and establish it as one of the UK's national quality papers.
William Rees-Mogg and Nigel Lawson joined the paper and to coin Harold Macmillan's phrase Britain and the Financial Times "had never had it so good".
As the FT expanded its coverage to include the arts and public affairs, Britain's other papers began to catch on to the advantages of publishing sections on business and finance and competition got stiffer.
The paper's most difficult period came in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The UK's economy was stagnating and the print unions were making newspaper publishing tough.
Yet according to John Lloyd, the paper's industrial editor at the time Arthur Scargill, leader of the striking British miners' union, used to read the FT in the morning before he turned to the communist Morning Star "to get the facts".
The Financial Times has always had ambition to be a truly international newspaper, at one point publishing five international editions in continental Europe, the US, Asia and the Middle East.
In 2000 the FT even started publishing a German language edition, Financial Times Deutschland, but it never managed to make a profit and Pearson sold the FT's 50% stake to its German partner in 2008.
And now chief executive John Ridding says they're now back to producing what's essentially a single, global product.
"There's a little bit of what the editor refers to as lipstick and make-up on the front page but fundamentally the same stories appear in all of our editions."
Nowadays the newspaper forms the core of the FT Group which in 2013 made a profit of £55m, the last year its accounts were published separately.
Last year, for the first time, the newspaper was profitable before advertising, that is simply on the cover price.
"The issue we all face is the issue of habit. It used to be that the FT or another paper would turn up on your doorstep," says chief executive John Ridding.
"With digital delivery that has all been disrupted. The challenge we face is how do you recreate that sense of habit."
The FT has been one of the more successful paper publishers to help readers make the shift to a digital habit.
Its total circulation has risen to 737,000 with digital representing 70% of that.
People may not always be physically picking up the pink'un but the access to specialist information and expert analysis is enough to persuade them to part with the £5.35 a week subscription fee.
Lt Mike Madden said he and officers who arrived later saw dead bodies and had to pass injured people as they tried to "engage the shooters".
Officials say a husband and wife shot dead 14 people and wounded 21 in the city of San Bernardino on Wednesday.
Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 27, were killed in a shootout.
Bomb equipment, weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition were later found in the attackers' home.
The authorities have still not found a motive for the attack.
"It was unspeakable, the carnage that we were seeing," Lt Madden told a news conference.
"The number of people who were injured and unfortunately already dead and the pure panic on the face of those individuals that were still in need and needing to be safe."
He said he and other police officers led about 50 people out of the centre's conference room.
"Then we went further into the building and that was a difficult choice to have to make as well, passing people that we knew were injured and in need of assistance," Lt Madden said.
"But our goal at that time had to be trying to locate the shooters and deal with them."
Police said between 75-80 people were at the centre when the shooting began.
The names of the victims have now been released by San Bernardino's coroner.
The youngest victim was 26 and the oldest was 60.
Who are the victims?
Police said the attack indicated there had been "some degree of planning".
Local police chief Jarrod Burguan said it appeared that the duo was prepared to carry out another attack.
"There was obviously a mission here. We know that. We do not know why. We don't know if this was the intended target or if there was something that triggered him to do this immediately," said David Bowdich, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles office.
In the shootout with police hours after the attack, Farook and Malik fired 76 rounds of ammunition at the officers and the officers fired 380 rounds back.
Two police officers were injured during the pursuit.
It marks the deadliest mass shooting in the US since 26 people were killed at a school in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012.

The 26-year-old France forward was speaking on French TV show Quotidien.
"I think I will decide [on my future] in the next two weeks," he said.
Asked if United would be his new club he replied: "Possible, possible." Asked to give the chances on a scale of one to 10, Griezmann added "six".
The presenter replied: "It's the first time you've said that." And Griezmann replied "it's the first time."
Griezmann, who has won 41 caps for France since making his debut in 2014, scored 26 goals this season as Atletico finished third in La Liga.
He was named the third best player in the world behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in the Ballon d'Or awards in January.
There is a 100 million euro (£86m) release clause in Griezmann's contract.
United have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League on Wednesday against Ajax in Stockholm.
She remained in the post for nearly three years, until the Constitutional Court forced her to step down in early May 2014 after finding her guilty of abusing her power.
Weeks later, the military seized power and suspended the constitution, saying it was necessary to restore order after months of entrenched protests against Ms Yingluck's government.
Then things got worse. On 23 January, the military-picked legislative assembly voted to impeach Ms Yingluck for dereliction of duty over a controversial subsidy scheme which paid farmers above market rates for rice.
This means she is banned from politics for five years. She is also facing a criminal charge over the scheme - which could result in a jail term if found guilty.
Yingluck Shinawatra, a former businesswoman born in 1967, was following as prime minister in the footsteps of her more famous brother, Thaksin Shinawatra.
She led Pheu Thai to a landslide victory in the July 2011 general election, a year after violent protests on the streets of Bangkok.
Before the poll, Ms Yingluck, who has two degrees in politics, had never run for office or held a government post.
She had until then pursued a corporate career, formerly as managing director of AIS, the telecommunications firm her brother founded, and managing director of SC Asset Company, a family firm involved in property.
Critics were quick to point out her political inexperience, saying her main qualification appeared to be the fact that she was the youngest sister of Mr Thaksin, the billionaire who was ousted as prime minister by the military in 2006 and jailed in absentia for corruption.
They suggested her primary role was to marshal the Thaksin faithful - the mainly poor rural voters who kept him in power - and then serve as his proxy as he governed from overseas exile.
Ms Yingluck performed well on the campaign trail - people seemed to warm to her. And the Thaksin faithful backed her party in 2011 polls.
Speaking to the BBC after her election win, Ms Yingluck said she planned to work hard. People would trust her, she said, as long as the government preserved the rule of law and treated people fairly.
"As long as we solve problems, I hope Thai people will give me a chance to prove myself and show my sincerity."
Three months later, she faced her first challenge as parts of Thailand were hit by severe flooding.
More than 500 people died in the north of the country and a fifth of the capital ended up under water, forcing her government to announce a 100bn baht ($4bn: £2.5bn) recovery plan amid accusations it had been unprepared.
In early 2012, her government approved a compensation fund for victims of recent political unrest - allocating 2bn baht ($63m, £40.8m) to families of the deceased, as well as those who were hurt or "unfairly detained".
Ms Yingluck was also seen to establish cordial ties with two key institutions, the royal palace and the military.
But a rice subsidy policy, whereby her government bought rice from farmers at above market rates to boost rural incomes, hit Thailand's rice exports hard. Her opponents said the programme was rife with corruption and many farmers were left out of pocket.
It was, however, a political amnesty bill that provided the trigger for protests which foreshadowed Ms Yingluck's demise.
Her government proposed legislation allowing amnesty for those convicted of political violence that took place after the coup that ousted her brother, including the mass street protests that paralysed Bangkok in 2010.
It proved unpopular with some of her traditional supporters, who argued it would allow those responsible for the deaths of civilian protesters in 2010 to go free.
But it sparked opposition fury, amid fears the ruling party would use it to allow Thaksin Shinawatra back into Thailand without having to serve his jail term.
And the firm conviction among opposition supporters that Ms Yingluck's government was controlled by her brother caused some to erupt onto the streets in protest.
Ms Yingluck appealed for calm - and allowed the amnesty bill to fail in the Senate. But that did not appease the protesters, who demanded that her government be replaced with an unelected "people's council".
The government's decision to call a snap election for 2 February also failed to quell anger. The ruling party was expected to win the election and the opposition boycotted the polls, which were then declared unconstitutional.
Fresh elections were announced but the opposition called for them to be delayed and a referendum on reforms to be held.
Then the courts stepped in and removed Ms Yingluck over the transfer of her national security chief. Weeks later, the military ousted what was left of her government, leaving Thailand once again under military rule.
Mr Mujuru, 62, was one of Zimbabwe's most senior politicians and married to Vice-President Joice Mujuru.
Analysts say his death is likely to intensify turmoil in President Robert Mugabe's party over the question of who will succeed the 87-year-old leader.
Under his nom de guerre, Rex Nhongo, he was the director of Mr Mugabe's forces during the 1970s' war of independence.
State Security Minister Sydney Sekeramayi said Gen Mujuru died in a fire at his farmhouse in Beatrice, about 80km (50 miles) south of the capital, Harare, in the early hours of Tuesday.
"We came here early in the morning after we were told what had happened. I still thought he might have been badly burnt, it was difficult to reconcile that he actually died - burnt beyond recognition," Mr Sekeramayi told state-run ZBC television.
"Rex Nhongo, Gen Solomon Mujuru, was just a charred body - one of Zimbabwe's greatest sons," the minister said, struggling to hold back his emotion.
Pathologists and police are investigating the cause of the fire at the 3,500-acre farm that had been seized from a white farmer in 2001.
A close relative told the BBC the family had no idea what caused the fire which eventually engulfed the farmhouse.
It began when the general was alone. Guards noticed plumes of smoke and called the maid, the relative said.
They tried to get into the house but the flames were so fierce they could not enter, they said.
When the fire service arrived the general's body was found close to the front door apparently overcome by the fumes, the relative said.
Obituary: Zimbabwe's 'king-maker'
The BBC's Brian Hungwe in Harare says Gen Mujuru was a senior politburo member in the Zanu-PF party and regarded as a moderate.
He was a strategist and rumoured power broker in divisive Zanu-PF succession politics, he says.
His death will create a void and leave his wife - one of the country's two vice-presidents - exposed, analysts say.
There has been fierce rivalry between the Mujurus and Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa for control of the party.
During the war against Rhodesian rule in the 1970s, Gen Mujuru led the armed struggle together with the late Josiah Tongogora.
Knox Chitiyo, of the London-based think-tank Royal United Services Institute, knew Gen Mujuru personally and said he was someone "who couldn't be pushed around".
"He was very, very respected particularly among the military in Zimbabwe and among the liberation war veterans. His liberation war credentials were pretty impeccable," Mr Chitiyo told the BBC.
He said Gen Mujuru had also proved his mettle after independence during the early 1980s.
"He had to handle a lot of internal politics within the party, a lot of politics within the military and for him to be able to handle that and retain his capacity as head of the military showed that he was a tough guy," Mr Chitiyo added.
The circumstances of the death would raise a number of questions, he said.
"There's definitely going to be a lot of speculation about this, for two reasons: One is [that] his predecessor died in a car crash and also because of what's going on right now in Zimbabwean politics - the issues around the succession, the possible elections, possibly next year."
Our reporter says it was Gen Mujuru who implored the freedom fighters in Mozambique during the conflict to accept Mr Mugabe as the leader of the Zanla rebel movement forces after his release from detention in 1974.
At independence in 1980 he took over the command of the army, before retiring and going into business 10 years later.
Our reporter says as the leading commander of the liberation war against colonial rule, he is expected to be buried at the national shrine, Heroes Acre, some time this week.
Extensive coverage of every game at the tournament will be provided across television, radio and online.
The 2015 competition was also shown on the BBC, when the England team reached the semi-finals.
"We're delighted the BBC will bring the biggest tournament in women's football to the widest possible audience," said director of BBC Sport Barbara Slater.
"Women's football has grown significantly over the last few years and we are proud of the contribution we have made.
"France 2019 promises to be another fantastic showcase for the sport."
Fifa secretary-general Fatma Samoura said: "The seventh edition of the Fifa Women's World Cup in 2015 reached record-breaking numbers of TV viewers and social media clicks, underlining global interest in the world's biggest single-sport event for women.
"As excitement grows around the eighth edition of the competition, we are delighted to work with the BBC to broadcast the ultimate event in women's football to even greater audiences in the UK via the BBC's TV, radio and digital platforms."
Nottingham-born Woodburn, 17, received a first squad call up for the World Cup qualifier on Friday, 24 March.
Wales boss Chris Coleman has rejected suggestions that Woodburn being eligible for England was a factor in the player's call-up.
"I don't know why Chris is denying it," said former Wales striker Saunders.
"You can't buy or sell players and we're only a small country.
"If someone is eligible for us and there's a bit of potential there then he's (Coleman) done the right thing.
"He's Welsh and he's playing for us. It's good news for the squad."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Woodburn is eligible for Wales through his maternal grandfather and has already played at under-16, under-18 and under-19 level.
The forward has made seven appearances for Liverpool this season and become the youngest scorer in the club's history with a goal against Leeds United in the EFL Cup in November.
"He's got a good attitude and nothing fazes him. Top players have that sort of attitude about them," former Liverpool striker Saunders told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
"He doesn't look like a rabbit in headlights when he plays for Liverpool. He's a talented player and scores goals."
Wales are third in Group D, four points behind Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland, who are top and Coleman said Woodburn's inclusion is not a spur of the moment decision.
"He's been in our system for five years, so we know all about him," Coleman said. "He's done well this season. We are looking forward to having him on board"
"If we want to put him on for tactical reasons, it would be for that, but not because we are worried about anyone else looking at him."
In an internal letter to bishops, Cardinal Peter Turkson says people should be "encouraged" to exercise their "ecological citizenship".
The letter says that climate negotiators meeting in Paris need to hear the voice of "God's people".
Activists say the call is evidence of a step-change in the Church's approach to climate change.
Major demonstrations across the world have been planned to mark the start of the global climate conference, known as COP21.
In Paris, planned big rallies have been cancelled in the wake of the 13 November attacks which killed 130 people.
Nearly 1,000 people thought to represent a security risk have been barred from entering the country, said Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
A handful of other activists have been placed under house arrest under emergency powers introduced following the attacks.
But elsewhere protesters have taken to the streets to demand action.
Over the next two weeks, delegates meeting here are hoping to strike a new, far-reaching deal on climate change.
In his letter to around 5,000 Catholic bishops around the world, the cardinal makes it clear that relying on political leaders to achieve environmental justice is not enough.
He states that more than one million people around the world are likely to take part in climate marches on 29 November.
The marchers will be exercising "global ecological citizenship", he says, and he suggests to the bishops that they "are warmly invited to offer your support in prayer, word and action".
The letter gives contact details for the bishops on how to find out about marches in their diocese.
"If you could please encourage the faithful and many others to exercise their 'ecological citizenship', this would surely help to reinforce the humble and peaceable spirit of Laudato si', and it would spiritually express communion with the universal church," the letter reads.
Cardinal Peter Turkson is president of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace but is seen as the Pope's point man on climate change.
A sometimes controversial figure within the Church, he was touted as a potential replacement after Pope Benedict's retirement.
Under Pope Francis he has emerged as a leading advocate for the environment and helped write the first draft of the Pope's landmark encyclical, Laudato Si'.
The Pope has expressed his worries that the negotiating process here in Paris may fail to deliver a global agreement. He said it would be "catastrophic" if global leaders let special interest groups derail the deal.
Speaking in Nairobi earlier this week, the Pope said the world faced a stark choice to either "improve or destroy the environment".
Environmental campaigners are in little doubt that the letter to Catholic bishops is in keeping with the Pope's progressive stand on climate change.
"In the letter he is not only asking people to go to the streets, he is asking them to pray as well," said Oscar Soria from Avaaz, who are organising the global marches.
"I think it is a continuation of the Pope's narrative right now, from the encyclical, to his speech at the United Nations, then to Nairobi and then the climate march.
"It's clear sign that the Vatican is stepping up its climate battle in a way never seen before."
In Paris, an installation of "marching shoes" will be built with contributions from thousands of people. The Pope has agreed that a pair of shoes bearing his name will be part of the display.
Cardinal Turkson is expected to attend COP21 as part of the official Holy See delegation.

After her dismissal, Asma Bougnaoui took her case to the French courts and it was eventually referred to the ECJ.
She was "professionally competent" as a design engineer and sacked solely for refusing to remove her headscarf, its advocate general has advised.
A final ruling will be made by judges, who usually follow legal advice.
Muslims in France have frequently challenged moves by the state and other bodies to regulate religious clothing.
This case reached one of France's highest courts, the court of cassation, which requested an opinion from the European Court of Justice - whose verdict is binding on member states.

Before Ms Bougnaoui was employed by IT consultancy company Micropole in 2008, she was told in interviews she might not be able to wear the hijab, which covers the head but not the face, at all times.
She provided services to clients on their own premises. But after one such visit, a client complained that her headscarf had "embarrassed" its employees. Micropole asked Ms Bougnaoui to remove her headscarf on her next visit, but she refused and was dismissed on 22 June 2009.
In her view, ECJ advocate general Eleanor Sharpston said there was "nothing to suggest that Ms Bougnaoui was unable to perform her duties as a design engineer because she wore an Islamic headscarf". In fact, the company itself had made express reference to her professional competence.
Ms Sharpston rejected the idea that banning workers from wearing religious attire when they came into contact with clients could be necessary "for the protection of individual rights and freedoms necessary for the functioning of a democratic society".
In conclusion she said Ms Bougnaoui's dismissal constituted "direct discrimination" and that company policies imposing an entirely neutral dress code could only be justified "if it pursues a legitimate aim and is proportionate".
The ruling is not binding on the court but advisory. Judges will deliver the final, binding verdict at a later date.
The blaze in the block of flats in Shepherd's Bush Green on 19 August caused damage across five floors.
The tumble dryer had been recalled by its maker and was due to be inspected.
London Fire Brigade wants manufacturer Whirlpool to ask people to stop using faulty machines but the firm said they should just not be left unattended.
The fire started in the kitchen of a seventh-floor flat in Shepherds Court.
The occupants were at home when smoke started pouring out of the Indesit tumble dryer and they alerted fire crews.
People in the flat and four other flats affected by the fire have been rehoused.
London Fire Commissioner Ron Dobson said: "If my kitchen had one of the recalled goods in it, I would unplug it straight away until it has been checked and repaired.
"The flat's occupants had a terrifying ordeal. The kitchen quickly became smoke logged and thankfully they noticed the smoke and quickly left the flat and called the brigade. This decision could have saved lives."
The fire brigade said it wanted Whirlpool to change its advice as "a matter of urgency".
"We want this change because we attend nearly one fire a day involving white goods," it said in a statement.
The brigade said it was dangerous if people went out and left machines unattended when there was a danger of fire but also that if they were home and a fire broke out, lives would be at risk.
A statement from Whirlpool said its own investigation was continuing and the company had contacted 3.6 million consumers who own an Indesit, Hotpoint or Creda tumble dryer manufactured between April 2004 and September 2015. It said engineers had resolved 750,000 cases.
It added: "Consumers can continue to use their affected dryer whilst waiting for the modification.
"However, we require that consumers do not leave their dryers unattended during operation as an extra precaution."
Gabriele Angella - a summer signing from Udinese - opened the scoring when he scrambled in from close range.
Bournemouth levelled when Ryan Fraser crossed for Lewis Grabban to convert, before Angella headed his second and Deeney scored via a deflection.
Lewis McGugan slotted in and Deeney smashed in from 20 yards before completing his treble with a penalty.
Troy Deeney is the first Watford player to score a hat-trick at Vicarage Road since Kevin Phillips on 1 March 1997
Deeney missed the start of last season but returned to score 20 goals and help Gianfranco Zola's side to the play-off final.
He was decisive again as the Hornets proved too strong for Bournemouth - who were the better side for large periods of the first half.
Sloppy defending allowed Angella to hook Watford ahead but the visitors' spirited response was rewarded when the lively Fraser burst into the penalty area and squared for Grabban to slide home his third of the season.
Watford were much improved after the interval though as Angella again escaped his marker to meet Almen Abdi's free-kick with a powerful header, before Deeney ran on to a neat through-pass to fire across Ryan Allsop and in with the aid of a deflection.

McGugan added the fourth with a neat finish from an angle for his first goal since joining from Nottingham Forest in the summer, before Deeney's spectacular second.
The striker took the ball on his chest and shrugged off two challenges to score from the edge of the area.
Deeney then completed the scoring in stoppage time when he steered home from the spot after Diego Fabbrini was tripped.
Watford manager Gianfranco Zola:
"Bournemouth probably didn't deserve to lose 6-1 because especially in the first half they played well and they played in the right way.
"In the second half my team really put a good performance in and it was just what they needed because otherwise it was going to be difficult.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We changed gears because in the first half we were playing under rhythm and we pushed a little bit higher up the pitch and that made it more difficult for them."
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe:
"If we're guilty of anything it was still chasing the game at 3-1.
"We felt we could still try and get back into it but they were ruthless in exposing that and we were a little bit naive towards the end where we kept giving the ball back to Watford and you can't do that against a good team.
"I always knew it was going to be a huge step up for our squad and for everyone at the club.
"If you look at our history we've hardly played in the Championship and history is always a good gauge and this is a big step up."

Residents of the Japanese capital were taken by surprise, as the temperatures around this time of the year usually range from 10C to 17C.
It is the first time fallen snow has been seen on the ground in Tokyo in November since records started to be taken in 1875.
The snow, caused by an unusual cold front over the city, caused slight delays on public transport
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) also warned of possible icy roads, snow on electric wires and trees, and the collapse of plastic greenhouses, according to the Japan Times.
He also said the US should focus on defeating so-called Islamic State (IS) rather than removing Syria's president.
Mrs Clinton has proposed a no-fly zone over Syria. The top US military chief has said that could spell conflict with Russian jets in the region.
The Clinton campaign accused Mr Trump of "playing to Americans' fears".
Mr Trump also attacked Republicans for not uniting behind his candidacy.
"If we had party unity, we couldn't lose this election to Hillary Clinton," he told Reuters news agency at Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami, Florida.
The Republican standard-bearer struck an apocalyptic tone when criticising his Democratic rival's plan to control Syrian air space.
"You're going to end up in World War Three over Syria if we listen to Hillary Clinton," Mr Trump said.
"You're not fighting Syria any more, you're fighting Syria, Russia and Iran, all right?
"Russia is a nuclear country, but a country where the nukes work as opposed to other countries that talk."
Mr Trump suggested there should be a refocus away from the long-held US position of trying to remove Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, saying: "What we should do is focus on IS. We should not be focusing on Syria."
He also suggested Mrs Clinton would be unable to talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin after her sharp criticism of him.
Mr Trump questioned "how she is going to go back and negotiate with this man who she has made to be so evil" if she is elected president on 8 November.
The Clinton campaign dismissed the criticism, saying both Republican and Democratic national security experts have denounced Mr Trump as unfit to be commander-in-chief.
"Once again, he is parroting Putin's talking points and playing to Americans' fears, all while refusing to lay out any plans of his own for defeating ISIS or alleviating humanitarian suffering in Syria," Clinton spokesman Jesse Lehrich said in a statement.
Mr Trump's warning of confrontation with Russia echoes concerns raised last month at a congressional hearing by the highest-ranking military officer in the US armed forces.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Marine Gen Joseph Dunford told lawmakers a "no-fly zone" in Syria could spell war with Russia.
"Right now, senator, for us to control all of the airspace in Syria it would require us to go to war, against Syria and Russia," Gen Dunford told the Senate Arms Services Committee.
"That's a pretty fundamental decision that certainly I'm not going to make."
At the final presidential debate in Nevada on 20 October, Mrs Clinton outlined her support for the measure.
"A no-fly zone can save lives and hasten the end of the conflict," she said on stage.
But in a 2013 speech to Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs, Mrs Clinton said establishing a no-fly zone would "kill a lot of Syrians", according to a transcript disclosed by Wikileaks.

The civilian death toll would result from the US needing to take out Syrian air defences, which are located in populous areas.
Her policy is not only a disagreement with President Barack Obama, but would be a significant escalation of US involvement in the Syrian conflict.
Mr Trump's comments come two weeks before election day and as his campaign grapples with a backlash over a string of accusers who have come forward with allegations of sexual assault.
The New York businessman, who is trailing Mrs Clinton in national polls, has railed against media and suggested members of the press were colluding to rig the election against him.
"The people are very angry with the leadership of this party, because this is an election that we will win 100% if we had support from the top," he said. "I think we're going to win it anyway."
Mr Bolland will be succeeded by Steve Rowe, executive director of general merchandise.
Third-quarter sales of general merchandise were down by 5.8% for the 13 weeks to 26 December.
But M&S said it had an "excellent quarter" for food, with record sales in the Christmas week.
Investors reacted positively, with Marks and Spencer shares rising more than 1% in morning trading.
There was no pressure on Mr Bolland to leave from shareholders or the board, Marks and Spencer chairman Robert Swannell said on a conference call with reporters. Mr Bolland is retiring after six years in the role.
"There has been absolutely no pressure at all on Marc [to leave]," Mr Swannell said, adding that succession planning had been "rigorous".
Planning Mr Bolland's succession had not been done "quickly on the back of an envelope", but instead had been a process that had gone on "for years", Mr Swannell added.
He declined to discuss whether Marks and Spencer had considered external candidates, but said the firm had used "external benchmarking" during a "thorough, rigorous process" to select candidates.
Mr Bolland had informed the board in the summer of 2015 of his intention to leave in mid-2016, he said.
Mr Rowe will receive a salary of £810,000 from 2 April 2016 as part of his chief executive remuneration package, the firm said.
He has been employed by the firm for more than 25 years, and has had roles including director of retail and e-commerce and positions in general merchandise.
Analysis:
Simon Jack, BBC business correspondent
Marc Bolland's departure comes as Marks and Spencer reported dire Christmas trading figures. Sales of general merchandise, which includes clothes, were 5.8% lower than last year - a result the company blamed on unseasonably warm weather and poor stock availability.
Marc Bolland has been at the company since 2010, after four years at grocer Morrisons, and while the food business has thrived, he has struggled to revive the clothing business despite investing hundreds of millions of pounds on revamps.
In October last year, Mr Bolland told investors the turnaround plan was working and he gave no impression then of leaving before the job was done. Today's figures illustrate that it's not.
The company insisted the decision to step down was Marc Bolland's own and that he informed the board at the end of last year that he wanted to retire in April. He will be succeeded by Steve Rowe, currently executive director of general merchandise, having previously been in charge of the retailer's food business for almost three years. He has been with the company 25 years, and a board member since 2012, so will know first hand what a difficult job he is taking on.
Marks and Spencer's third quarter general merchandise sales, which include clothing, were "disappointing", the firm said.
The 5.8% drop in sales was put down to "unseasonal conditions and availability". Retailers such as Next also blamed unseasonably warm weather in December for disappointing sales.
However, food sales for Marks and Spencer were up 0.4% in the third quarter, and the retailer said it had record sales in the Christmas week, up 17%.
Online sales rose more than 20% in the quarter, it added.
Marks and Spencer has had recurrent problems in general merchandise for a number of years. For example, in the six months to 26 September 2015, sales fell 1.2%.
Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers, said that the change at the top could lead to some uncertainty.
"There will be some inevitable uncertainty after any change at the helm, although the new chief executive - although an M&S lifer - has been in charge of general merchandise (GM) for only a relatively short period," Mr Hunter said.
"The wider issue could be that despite attempts to revitalise GM for some considerable time, little of note has materialised, and it could well be that Marc Bolland has decided that a fresh pair of eyes are required."
The 22-year-old cousin of former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury was set to face WBO champion Parker in Auckland, New Zealand, on 6 May, in his first world title fight.
A statement from Team Fury and Hennessy Sports said Fury had been advised to "rest for three to four weeks".
Parker's promoters, Duco Events, said work had started to find a replacement.
The Fury statement continued: "Understandably, Hughie is devastated by the injury which has temporarily halted his dream of fighting for the world heavyweight title - but the fight will be rescheduled and a new date will be announced shortly."
Antoinette Corbally, 48, has been named locally as one of two people shot dead in the gun attack at a house at Balbutcher Drive, Ballymun.
It is believed the attack was gang related but not connected to the ongoing Hutch-Kinahan feud.
Gardaí (Irish police) are seeking two men over the shooting.
Nicola Tallant, investigations editor from the Sunday World, told Good Morning Ulster that Derek Devoy, the brother of Ms Corbally, was the target of the attack but he escaped.
She said the shooting appeared to be related to a "drug turf war" and that Mr Devoy is a "well-known Dublin criminal".
She said that two men pulled up to the house and one opened fire "indiscriminately" at the house, which had children inside.
She added that Mr Devoy was holding a toddler at the time of the attack and that he "threw the child and ran out the back door".
Another man and woman were treated for less serious injuries in hospital following the shooting.
Irish police recovered a gun at the scene of the shooting. A silver Opel Zafria was found partially burnt out on Balbutcher Drive and Gardaí also recovered a second car they believe was involved in the attack in Santry.
Irish Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan said he condemned the shooting and that high-visibility policing, including armed checkpoints, would continue across the city.
Captain David Seath, 31, collapsed after suffering a heart attack near the 23-mile mark, close to Southwark Bridge.
The Afghanistan veteran's friends and family met on the course at midnight at the place where he collapsed.
About £200,000 has been donated to Help For Heroes in his memory.
He received immediate medical attention and was taken to St Thomas' Hospital but died later.
Capt Seath, from Cowdenbeath, Fife, commanded a specialist team while serving as a fire support team commander for 29 Commando Regiment Royal Artillery, based in Plymouth.
He completed two master's degrees at the University of Aberdeen before attending the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, the elite officer training centre, in 2009.
Capt Seath's mother, Libby, said: "David has achieved more in 31 years than most people do in 70. He lived his life on the edge and to the full."
He accepts that he will be the target of some criticism, having grown up a Rangers fan and being the subject of three transfer offers from Ibrox.
They were all rejected by Hibs, though, and Allan said it was an "easy decision" to join Celtic.
"I wanted to progress my career and this was the right move for me," said the 23-year-old midfielder.
Allan handed in a transfer request after Rangers' initial offers were rejected this summer and he was widely expected to move to Ibrox even if it meant running down the final 12 months of his contract at Easter Road.
Celtic officially made their move for the player on Thursday, though, and Allan was certain it was the right choice to make for his career.
"When I heard from my agent that Celtic were interested, in football terms it was an easy decision to step up a league and European football - and to develop as a player," he said.
"I was just concentrating on my game and, if something came up, I'd need to make a decision. Luckily for me, it was Celtic and that was the decision I made.
"I just made it on football terms, I wasn't really bothered what came with it.
"I know I'll get a lot of stick off some people, but it's about playing football and developing and this is the right place for me."
When asked if the recent focus on being a boyhood Rangers fan had been exaggerated, Allan said "yes". He also added that he would continue to live in Glasgow.
"My job is a football player," said the midfielder who started his career with Dundee United and joined Hibs last summer after a spell with West Bromwich Albion.
"You need to look out for your best interests and that's what I've done in coming to Celtic.
"My family support me in any decision I make and that's what I'd expect from them."
Allan was also asked if Rangers made a late attempt to talk him out of moving to Celtic. "Not that I know of," he replied.
The midfielder is also hopeful of being involved in the squad for Celtic's Champions League play-off first leg against Malmo at Celtic Park on Wednesday.
"There's been talk, but I just need to train hard and see what happens," said Allan, who had loan spells with Portsmouth, Milton Keynes Dons and Birmingham City.
"It's going to be a challenge to get into the team, but that's something I'm looking forward to and I have faith in my own ability to do that.
"I'm much older now, I've got a lot of experience I took from down south and I won't let the chance pass me by again."
Involved in politics since his teenage years, Mr Nolin, a lawyer by training, was appointed to the Senate in 1993 and became Speaker late last year.
Mr Nolin had spoken publicly about the rare form of cancer that he was diagnosed with five years ago, the CBC reports.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he was "deeply saddened" by the news.
Mr Nolin was remembered by the Canadian prime minister as an "affable and cultured man" who "never lost track of the higher interests of his fellow citizens".
Senator Claude Carignan, a fellow conservative and the leader of the government in the senate, said: "He will be remembered by each and every one of his Senate colleagues for his integrity, knowledge, wisdom and determination."
Mr Nolin is survived by his wife, Camille, and three children, Mr Carignan's statement said.
The hosts twice went in front through James Vaughan and Tom Pope, only for each goal to be cancelled out by a Chris Maguire free-kick.
Greg Leigh's own goal on 70 minutes then extended Bury's club-record losing run to 12 league games, sending them into the League One relegation zone.
The Shakers dropped keeper Ben Williams for Paul Rachubka and the debutant's fifth-minute free-kick drifted over the Oxford defence for Vaughan to volley over Simon Eastwood.
The U's levelled eight minutes later, Maguire hitting a free-kick from the edge of the box into the bottom corner.
They were then firmly on top, with Maguire twice testing Rachubka before the veteran keeper parried a Robert Hall shot.
Maguire also sliced wide from eight yards and moments later Pope scored at the second attempt from Scott Burgess' 39th-minute cross.
This time Oxford took just four minutes to equalise, Maguire curling in a 20-yard free-kick.
The visitors had the better of a hard-fought second half as Kane Hemmings hit a post before left-back Leigh turned Marvin Johnson's low cross into his own net.

Hamilton lost control at Turn 11 and slid into the barriers on his fourth lap. He limped back to the pits but could not run again, ending up fifth.
Rosberg was 0.595secs quicker than Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo in second.
Ferrari were struggling, with Sebastian Vettel 0.327secs back, 0.322secs ahead of Red Bull's Max Verstappen.
Vettel's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen was sixth fastest, more than 1.6secs off the pace.
Raikkonen was less than 0.3secs quicker than the McLarens of Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button - separated by only 0.059secs in seventh and eighth places.
And Ferrari lacked race pace, too, with Raikkonen doing a long run on heavy fuel at the same time as Rosberg and lapping on average about a second slower.
Mercedes were just as dominant on the race runs, Rosberg well over half a second on average quicker than the next quickest man, Verstappen.
Hamilton's mistake - he lost the rear on entry to one of the most demanding corners on a difficult track - will have cost him track time and experience of the car on full tanks, but that is unlikely to be too much of a hindrance on a track he knows well and is one of his favourites.
He was 0.237secs quicker than Rosberg in the first session and heads into the weekend a point adrift of his team-mate in the championship.
Hamilton has set himself the target of going into the summer break after next weekend's German Grand Prix with a points lead, something he has not had yet so far in 2016 after a difficult start to the season that saw him 43 points behind Rosberg after the first four races.
Renault's Jolyon Palmer was 19th fastest, 0.181secs and two places behind team-mate Kevin Magnussen.
Lewis Hamilton, P5: "They have those new white kerbs, I just put my rear wheel just over the white line and just touched it and they are very slippery. I don't know why they have put them there, it was perfectly fine before.
"Nico had really good runs, so I can study that. Pace was feeling quite good. It is just about getting in the swing of things, if you miss a session that's what you miss."
Nico Rosberg, P1: "An impressive day for us, performance-wise. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean we'll be in quite such a strong position tomorrow - but for now it's very positive.
"I'm feeling great out there and the car is very quick, so a good start to the weekend overall. Obviously, it's a great feeling to start the day like that with the contract being sorted. That was always going to be a positive boost."

Campaigners are calling for an end to the use of shark nets at beaches. They are used to stop sharks getting close to people but they are killing dolphins and turtles too.
More have been installed after a number of recent shark attacks on the east coast - but some nets have been cut deliberately by those who don't like them.
Watch Ricky's report to find out more.
He wrote in the New York Times that a US military strike against Syria could unleash a new wave of terrorism.
The US had threatened strikes, accusing the Syrian regime of killing hundreds in a poison-gas attack on 21 August.
Instead, Russia, an ally of Damascus, proposed that Syria hand over its chemical arsenal. The US and Russia are due to meet later to discuss that plan.
The Syrian government, which denies that it has used chemical weapons on its own people, has agreed at least partially to the Russian proposal.
By Steve RosenbergBBC News, Moscow
The American people are used to being addressed by an American President. Not a Russian one.
But Vladimir Putin knows that the US public and politicians are deeply uneasy with the prospect of American military intervention in Syria. His opinion piece in the New York Times may be an attempt to exploit and maintain that scepticism.
Most of the arguments he makes in the piece he has made before: for example, that a US strike would spark more violence and widen the conflict. But the Kremlin may be hoping this direct appeal to the American people, coupled with Moscow's diplomatic initiative, will boost the international image of Russia and its president. However, it may take more than one op-ed piece to do that. After all, in the West, President Putin is widely seen as an authoritarian leader intolerant of dissent back home.
Putin's plea to Americans assessed
The diplomatic moves prompted US President Barack Obama to put military action against Syria on hold.
In his New York Times article, Mr Putin said recent events had prompted him to "speak directly to the American people and their political leaders".
He warned that the UN could suffer the same fate as its predecessor, the League of Nations, if "influential countries... take military action without Security Council authorisation".
"The potential strike by the United States against Syria, despite strong opposition from many countries and major political and religious leaders, including the Pope, will result in more innocent victims and escalation, potentially spreading the conflict far beyond Syria's borders," he wrote.
"A strike would increase violence and unleash a new wave of terrorism."
He reiterated Russia's opinion that the gas attack of 21 August was probably carried out by opposition forces "to provoke intervention by their powerful foreign patrons".
US Secretary of State John Kerry is preparing to meet Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Geneva later to discuss Moscow's proposal.
Mr Lavrov told a news conference in Kazakhstan that both sides were bringing teams of specialists and experts to the meeting to thrash out the technical details of the plan.

He outlined three main phases of the proposal:
Mr Lavrov did not mention the destruction of the weapons, which is thought to be a sticking point in Moscow's negotiations with Damascus.
Gen Salim Idriss of the rebel Free Syrian Army has dismissed the Russian plan, saying it did not go far enough.
"[We] request not only that the chemical arsenal is put under international control, but [also] to judge the author of the crime before the International Criminal Court," he said.
On Wednesday, envoys of the five permanent UN Security Council members met in New York to discuss the plan.
One diplomat told the BBC that the UN envoys' talks were largely symbolic and that the serious questions would be left for Geneva.
Republican Senator John McCain, who has long argued for US intervention in Syria, said he was "puzzled" why Mr Kerry was meeting Mr Lavrov in Geneva.
Readers' views from the US and Damascus
"Why doesn't Lavrov come to the UN and everybody agree on a resolution and pass it? It's got to be a resolution through the Security Council," he said.
Diplomats predict that talks at the UN Security Council will continue for several days after the Geneva meeting before any resolution can be put to a vote.
France has already been working on a draft resolution that would be enforced by Chapter VII of the UN charter, which would in effect sanction the use of force if Syria failed in its obligations.
However, Russia has already indicated that this would be unacceptable, as would any resolution blaming the Syrian government for chemical attacks. Russia, supported by China, has blocked three draft resolutions condemning the Assad government.
More than 100,000 people have died since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011.
As the diplomatic efforts continue, the Syrian army has been trying to retake the Christian town of Maaloula, which was overrun at the weekend by rebel forces, including members of the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front.
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen, who visited Maaloula on Wednesday, says fighting has been continuing despite earlier reports that government forces had retaken the town.
Meanwhile, video footage has emerged on the internet appearing to show Farsi-speaking men fighting in the northern city of Aleppo. Iran has long been accused of helping Syrian government forces. | A Bradford MP claims car insurance premiums are so high in some parts of the city that people can no longer afford to drive.

An object was also thrown onto the pitch during the World Cup qualifier against Qatar.
Fifa, football's governing body, previously warned the HKFA over booing.
The anthem has been shared by Hong Kong and mainland China since the former returned to Beijing's control in 1997.
But anti-Beijing feeling has increased in Hong Kong in the wake of large protests last year against central government plans to impose candidate lists for elections in the territory.
Mr Brian Leung, the Chairman of HKFA, said: "We will promote the message of 'not booing' on all our media channels and will not punish the fans who threw the object onto the pitch as we don't know who did it."
A statement by the HKFA said Fifa had warned it that "any further infringements will lead to more severe sanctions", asking fans to "refrain from such action at all future matches" to avoid additional punishment.
The association previously said that it would be "disappointed" if Fifa punished them for the booing on 8 September, which it later blamed on "a small minority of fans".
Hong Kong's next international match is against Myanmar (also known as Burma) on 7 November, followed by a home game against mainland China on 17 November - likely to be of particular concern to organisers given the tensions involved.
The row began when a Barca fan asked Al-Thani on Twitter for Malaga to beat title rivals Real Madrid on 21 May.
"With the help of Allah we'll beat them on the pitch, but the scum of Catalonia will not smell the championship after telling lies about coach Michel," wrote Al-Thani in Arabic.
Malaga boss Michel upset Barca fans by hinting he wanted Real to win La Liga.
"FC Barcelona expresses its rejection and indignation at the contents of a tweet published by the president of Malaga CF, Abdullah Al-Thani, with comments which violate the principles of fair play, ethics and legality that should govern sports competition," Barcelona said in a statement.
"For this reason, the club will report this case to the anti-violence committee of the national sports council, and will refer the matter to the competition committee of the Royal Spanish Football Federation and the La Liga integrity department."
Spanish champions Barcelona and Real Madrid are level on points at the top of La Liga.
Barca lead because of a better head-to-head record with Real, who have a game in hand over their title rivals.
While Real go to 14th-placed Malaga on the final day of the league season, Barcelona are at home to Eibar - who currently sit eighth - on 21 May.
Malaga boss Michel helped Real Madrid win La Liga six times during a 14-year playing career at the Bernabeu.
The government introduced a cap on sums paid to locum workers, but it can be breached by NHS bosses if they consider there is "significant risk" to patient safety.
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) said it exposed "poor workforce planning" but said trusts had put safety first.
NHS Improvement said the cap had saved £300m.
The cap was introduced in response to a "very significant financial challenge" facing NHS providers, the health watchdog Monitor, part of NHS Improvement, said.
When the rules took effect Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said staffing agencies had been able to "rip off the NHS by charging extortionate hourly rates".
The cap, which came into force in November 2015, set a limit on hourly rates for agency doctors, nurses and other clinical and non-clinical staff.
They started at 150% on top of normal pay for junior doctors and 100% for other staff, before gradually being reduced to 55% across the board from 1 April 2016.
In the first week that the rules first took effect, beginning 23 November 2015, the clause was used 35,662 times between 228 hospital trusts.
This fell to 21,277 times in the week beginning 28 December. Since then use has risen, reaching 54,419 uses in the week beginning 4 April 2016 and 53,644 in the week beginning 11 April, the last week of figures released.
The figures released by Monitor under the Freedom of Information Act suggest that, as the limit has come down, more staff have been affected.
The cap on pay for agency and locum staff was in response to hospitals "over-spending" on temporary workers.
The chief executive of NHS England, Simon Stevens, said in 2015 that he wanted to see the £1.8bn spent on agency and contract staff the year before turned into "good, paying permanent jobs". And he accused staffing agencies of "ripping off" the NHS.
Rising use of agency workers was partly down to hospitals putting more nurses on wards in the wake of the Stafford Hospital scandal, Mr Stevens said. The official report into the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust identified a key reason for inadequate care was a lack of nurses.
However, the Royal College of Nursing says the NHS has not taken on enough student nurses to meet demand, resulting in agencies filling the vacuum and charging more to do so.
The health regulator NHS Improvement said hospitals in England were 15,000 short of the required number of nurses.
Figures obtained by the BBC in February 2016 showed there were more than 23,000 nursing vacancies in the NHS in England, Wales and Northern Ireland - about 9% of the workforce. That compares with a typical vacancy rate across all forms of work of 2.7%.
Details of each trust's use of the clause are recorded anonymously.
In the last week for which figures were available one hospital trust used the clause 1,310 times. Nursing, midwifery and health visitor staff made up 759 of those. Four other trusts also used the clause more than 1,000 times in the same week. Only 18 trusts did not use the clause at all in the week beginning 11 April.
Janet Davies, chief executive of the RCN, said: "Agency cap breaches are a barometer of the scale of the NHS's workforce problem, and it shows clearly that the problem is getting worse.
"NHS Trusts are unable to recruit nurses and are rightly prioritising patient safety over sticking to the cap.
"This is a workforce planning issue. The number of nurses being trained in the UK has been reduced, for short-term financial reasons."
A spokeswoman for NHS Improvement said the cap had saved up to £300m since October.
She added: "We know that trusts will need to override the cap where patient safety is a concern and it's important that they are able to do that. But as the new rules set in, whilst overrides did increase temporarily, they have begun to steadily decline as we expected.
"Overuse of agencies is bad for patients, bad for the NHS and unfair on other staff. These measures will help those staff currently working in agencies to come back into the NHS. Average prices paid for agency nurses have fallen by around 11% since October, so NHS nurses can be assured that their agency colleagues aren't being paid over the odds for doing the same job."
The biggest use of the clause came in a week when one of the junior doctors' strikes took place.
However, figures for other weeks when doctors were on strike in the long-running dispute over new contracts do not suggest a link as they were either less than the week before or rose in line with a general trend.
Barry Dixon ignored several sets of red lights in what a sheriff described as "an appalling piece of driving over a significant distance".
Dixon, 19, of Perth was banned from driving for 32 months and ordered to carry out 175 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to re-sit his extended driving test.
Depute fiscal Craig Donald told Perth Sheriff Court the Ford Fiesta was fitted with a tracker that enables it to be traced via computers and mobile phones.
He said: "It was put into Bookers car wash where the accused is employed as a car valeter.
"One of the employees of the car owning company noticed the tracker was giving information that the vehicle was being driven erratically."
The car was traced by police and stopped, but as they got out to approach the driver, Dixon sped off.
Dixon admitted driving a stolen Ford Fiesta dangerously and at speeds in excess of 80mph on various roads in and around Perth.
He also admitted failing to obey red traffic lights, ignoring no right turn signs, failing to give way at junctions and driving without insurance.
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis told Dixon: "This nonsense had very serious consequences.
"You may have thought it was fun at the time but you were a danger to other road users by acting in this manner."
He said this was to prevent a vacuum that could be filled by dissident republican groups.
Unionists are prepared to bring down Northern Ireland's power-sharing government over claims the Provisional IRA still exists.
It follows Kevin McGuigan Sr's murder in east Belfast, earlier this month.
Mr Ahern, who was a key player in the Northern Ireland peace process, told The Irish Times "it was a time for cool heads".
"The bigger picture is the ongoing peace process," he said.
"It is always delicate. Cool nerves, think this through.
"It is terrible there are atrocities, but are those atrocities being done [by people] who might have been on the inside but are now long since on the outside?
"Unfortunately, there are always fringe players in the organisations.
"People should keep it calm. We should never get lax about the bigger picture, and we should just keep that to the forefront and not talk ourselves into crisis. There is a bigger picture; the bigger picture is the ongoing process.
"These peripheral things, which I can only assume are not sanctioned, are going to continue to be a difficulty. That is something that has to be addressed."
Earlier this week, former Irish justice minister Michael McDowell said the Irish and British governments had allowed the Provisional IRA to continue as an "unarmed and withering husk".
This was because the governments feared a dissident group would fill the void left if the PIRA disbanded.
Mr Ahern said he agreed with Mr McDowell's assessment.
"We should always remember that there [is] a small dangerous group who do not want to see the spirit or the progress of the Good Friday Agreement implemented," he said.
"Nothing should be done that creates a vacuum that allows them to expand and grow."
Mr Ahern said it was envisaged that the Provisional IRA would develop along the lines of the old IRA and they would continue holding peaceful commemorations.
They claimed treated discharge from a water treatment works degraded the quality of Llyn Padarn, Llanberis.
The group lost a judicial review, after claiming Natural Resources Wales (NRW) had failed to protect Arctic charr at the Gwynedd lake.
They appealed but it has been rejected.
After losing their initial challenge in December, Seiont, Gwyrfai and Llyfni Anglers' Society appealed the decision during a Court of Appeal hearing in London in July.
The row was sparked after the anglers sent a notification to NRW, claiming the lake was suffering "environmental damage" as a result of discharges from Llanberis Sewage and Waste Water Treatment Works.
And they challenged NRW's response to their allegations on a number of points.
NRW considered the claims of the anglers but maintained there had not been "environmental damage" to the site, the Arctic charr or any other relevant species.
Three appeal court judges, headed by Lord Justice Lindblom, dismissed the anglers' renewed challenge in a written judgment handed down on Monday.
The man threatened staff with a handgun at the Co-op store in Pelsall, West Midlands, at 06.20 BST.
He stole a large quantity of coins before struggling with the weight of the haul as he fled, West Midlands Police said.
Police declined to say how much cash was taken in the raid.

Det Con Neil Cunnington said: "We would like to hear from anyone who was in the area of Co-op this morning and saw a man dressed in dark clothing, carrying a holdall.
"He appears to have been struggling to carry the bag as he took a large quantity of coins and we have reports of him staggering due to the weight.
"No-one was hurt during the robbery and the shop has been examined for forensic evidence."
The County Antrim-born musician, 52, has pulled out of the band's US tour while he receives further treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
He said on Facebook: "I'm saddened by the fact that my cancer has returned.
"However, I'm beyond consolation that its return will prevent me from being able to do my job for a while."
He added: "I'm still working on a schedule of treatment with my doctors, but I will see you all very soon."
The guitarist, who has also been a member of Whitesnake, Dio and Thin Lizzy, revealed in June 2013 that he was undergoing chemotherapy. Several months later, he said his cancer was in remission.
Originally from the Maze just outside Lisburn, he joined Def Leppard in 1992.
In June last year the then Scottish health secretary, Alex Neil, urged the 14 health boards to stop the procedures while a review was carried out.
Some women with the implants, which are used to ease incontinence, have suffered painful complications.
Members of the petitions committee now want a chamber debate on the matter.
They also want the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which is carrying out an investigation into the use of mesh implants, to appear before MSPs.
In addition, the committee is keen for the new health secretary to answer its questions.
Petitions committee member, Jackson Carlow, said that while he had been "enormously encouraged" by Mr Neil's call to stop use of the implants he was "disturbed" that some health boards had not halted the procedure.
He said he was also worried that the MHRA was set to recommend that the benefits of the operation outweighed the risk.
Mr Carlow said: "They have come to that conclusion despite the fact there is evidence of under reporting and there are concerns that the MHRA is not aware of all women who have experienced problems.
"This seems to me to be potentially quite a dramatic obstacle to what many of us thought was progress."
He added that what was seen by the committee as "tremendous progress" could be "going into reverse".
The MHRA had said its research showed that while a small number of women had experienced distressing effects, the benefits of the tapes and meshes "outweighed the risks" and could help in dealing with upsetting conditions such as urinary stress incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
Neil Findlay, who was at the committee along with several women who have had the implants, said: "Since the cabinet secretary announced his alleged suspension of mesh we know that this is still being fitted inside the bodies of women in Scotland, but it is now called a clinical trial.
"Since then we have also witnessed multi-million pound compensation claims being paid out to several people, with thousands more sitting in the pipeline."
Mr Neil called for a review of the mesh implant procedure - which is carried out on about 1,850 women each year in Scotland - after the petitions committee heard moving evidence from members of the Scottish Mesh Survivors campaign.
On Tuesday the committee was due to hear from Adam Slater, a New Jersey trial lawyer who helped to secure a multi-million dollar compensation deal for mesh users.
However, he was unable to give evidence via video conference due to the bad weather in New York.
The committee confirmed that his appearance would be rescheduled.
Marie McGinty describes herself as an aesthetics nurse practitioner, nurse prescriber and midwife.
But according to the Nursing and Midwifery Council, there is no record of Ms McGinty being registered.
She has failed to respond to repeated requests from the BBC to comment on the claims that she is unqualified.
In 2012, Marie McGinty, 49, established Vital Cosmetics Liverpool Limited and, according to its promotional material, runs clinics throughout the North West and North Wales.
She offers "skin rejuvenation" by using anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. One of the compounds she uses is Botox - a powerful drug that can only be given on prescription following an assessment by a doctor, dentist or nurse prescriber.
The BBC 5 Live Investigates programme has spoken to one woman who went to Marie McGinty for Botox injections and dermal fillers - and was left with unsightly blemishes and hard lumps around her eyes from the fillers.
The woman - who wishes to remain anonymous - said: "I could see instantly it was lumpy, then a few hours later it was almost like blisters. It progressively got worse and then it didn't improve and looked like a mess.
"It affected my work, I didn't leave my flat. I hated looking in the mirror and had to hide my hair across the face.
"It looked abnormal, my sister said I looked like a freak."
In the end, she went to see a cosmetic doctor in Harley Street - Dr Vincent Wong - to get the damage caused by the dermal fillers corrected.
He said: "The person who carried out this work may not have been trained, simply because this is a very delicate region and if not done properly may have serious consequences."
Ms McGinty gave the lady Botox injections in her front room.
Dr Wong added: "With Botox, once it is injected it cannot be removed and if it's injected into the wrong area it can cause serious damage."
Marie McGinty told a potential client she was a nurse prescriber.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council has no record of Marie McGinty being registered currently or in the past.
The titles of "registered nurse" and "midwife" are protected, meaning anyone falsely claiming to be a registered nurse or midwife is breaking the law.
Only registered nurses can become nurse prescribers - and have to be on the nursing register.
The BBC does not know where Ms McGinty is sourcing the Botox from. But the 5 live Investigates programme was able to buy it from a supplier in China, with no questions asked.
When Botox is sourced through unofficial channels, there is a risk it could be counterfeit.
The BBC was able to buy the supposed Botox for around £50 including shipping.
A small vial of white powder arrived with paperwork for dermal filler.
The company in China was asked if it was actually Botox.
"Of course, it is Botox, we use (dermal filler) documents to send the goods, as customs will check Botox, thanks for your kind understanding," they said.
Anyone can legally inject fillers so campaign groups like Save Face have tried to set up their own accredited list of 300 registered doctors, dentists and nurses.
"Treatments like fillers have almost become every day beauty treatments for many people, but, in the wrong hands, they are potentially dangerous procedures," said its director Ashton Collins.
"Many people we help have been too ashamed or embarrassed to come forward and speak out when a treatment has gone wrong."
The British Association of Dermatologists wants a mandatory register of practitioners.
And a Department of Health spokesman said: "Patients should always have confidence that their care is provided by a qualified individual and we strongly advise anyone choosing non-surgical treatment to check training and experience."
Five live Investigates also found that Ms McGinty's Vital Cosmetics Liverpool Limited mobile number links her to sites where escorts advertise "personal services".
The BBC contacted Marie McGinty three times by post and email over a month. She was also telephoned a number of times on her mobiles, with no success.
She said she would provide a statement after she spoke to her solicitor.
There has been no response and she has since moved from her registered business address.
BBC 5 Live Investigates is broadcast on BBC 5 Live on Sunday 24 May at 11:00 BST.
The Blues were favourites to deliver Healy's first silverware as Blues boss last May when they faced Glenavon in the 2016 final at Windsor Park.
Linfield lost 2-0 that day but are through to this season's semi-finals where they face Dungannon Swifts.
"I was hugely disappointed after that final. I was hurting, " said Healy.
"But sometimes you have to take a few disappointments along the way.
"I had plenty as a player, I have had a few as a manager. It makes the winning feeling sweeter."
Linfield reached the semi-finals by beating Premiership champions and current leaders Crusaders 2-0 at Seaview on Saturday.
The south Belfast club have not won the Irish Cup since doing the double in 2012.
As well as ending Crusaders' double ambitions, it raised the hopes of Linfield supporters that the league title race might not be done and dusted.
Linfield, runners-up to the Crues for the last two seasons, are seven points behind Stephen Baxter's pacesetters with eight matches left.
This Saturday Crusaders are at home to lowly Carrick Rangers, with Linfield hosting third-placed Cliftonville two days later.
But Northern Ireland's record goalscorer Healy played down his team's Premiership title prospects, saying: "Crusaders are in the driving seat - it would take a hell of a collapse from them for us to reel them in in the league."
Healy got his first trophy as a manager in last month's County Antrim Shield final.
China is leading the set-up of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, a project opposed by the US.
Taiwan, which split from China in 1949, wanted to join the bank as an independent nation.
But China regards Taiwan as part of its territory and was expected to reject any move which suggested otherwise.
Taiwan's government has reportedly said it will continue to press the case for its inclusion. The bank was created in October with 21 members.
Ma Xiaoguang, a spokesman for China's State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, confirmed a recent report that Taiwan would not be a member.
He said that the bank "is open and inclusive, and welcomes Taiwan to join under an appropriate name", and added that they would be "open to suggestions from all sides".
A report by Taiwan's Central News Agency quoted a spokesman for the executive branch of Taiwan's government as saying that Taiwan should join the AIIB "under the principle fairness and equality".
Taiwan's parliamentary speaker Wang Jin-pyng also said that Taiwan will now seek to become an ordinary member of the bank, instead of a founding member.
He added that the government would not accept anything less than calling Taiwan "Chinese Taipei" - the name under which Taiwan is referred to by the International Olympic Committee.
Taiwan's government officially calls itself as the Republic of China. It goes by the name "Taipei, China" as a member of the Asian Development Bank, and is known as the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu at the World Trade Organization.
The AIIB will fund Asian energy, transport and infrastructure projects.
In October, 21 countries signed the memorandum of understanding establishing the bank. Besides China, they included India, Thailand and Singapore.
It now has more than 40 members, with South Korea, Austria and Spain's membership confirmed on Saturday.
The UK has applied to join the bank, earning a rare rebuke from the US in March which said it had "concerns" about whether the AIIB would meet governance standards and maintain environmental and social safeguards.
All three emergency services were called to a collision between a truck and motorcycle at Altarnun, Launceston, on Sunday 9 August at about 10.15pm.
The arrested truck driver was a 21-year-old man from Bodmin.
The main arterial route through the county was closed westbound at Trewint Gap for almost seven hours.
Devon and Cornwall Police said the motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

On Saturday, table one at the Crucible Theatre was described as "the worst I have ever played on" by Ali Carter.
Organisers say they have already taken steps to try and improve conditions at snooker's most prestigious event.
"We changed the cloth and cushions on Wednesday, and we will change the cushions again on Saturday," World Snooker said in a statement.
Saturday night's planned cushion change was "scheduled before the event", it added.
The governing body also said it has allocated a set of balls to every match, rather than one set for each table, and turned the table heaters down "in order to make the cushions more consistent".
"We believe these measures, together with Saturday's cushion change, will have a positive effect," added World Snooker.
Media playback is not supported on this device
On Friday, Welshman Mark Williams wiped the cushions down with a damp cloth in order to stop the number of uneven bounces from the cue ball.
Two-time finalist Carter, who suffered several kicks and heavy bounces off the cushions, was irate after losing 13-11 to Alan McManus in the second round.
"The conditions were horrific. There were kicks every other shot and big bounces off the cushions," said Carter. "I just wanted to smash the place up at the interval, I was that frustrated."
Michael Holt, who suffered a 13-8 defeat against two-time champion Williams, also expressed unhappiness.
"I am not going to criticise the tables but I can observe them," added Holt. "They were... interesting.
"It was about being the best guesser. You just need to watch it and see what was happening, we are not that bad."
The two-table situation remains until the semi-final stage, when it switches to one.
The seamer had James Franklin and John Simpson both caught at long-on, and then bowled Tim Southee in the final over of Middlesex's 179-8.
Brendon McCullum smashed six sixes in his 51-ball 88 for Middlesex before Kent stumbled to 163-8.
Elsewhere, Leicestershire won at Durham while Sussex beat Hampshire.
Former New Zealand captain McCullum had only scored 36 in his previous four innings for Middlesex this summer and made the most of being dropped by Kent captain Sam Northeast on 19.
He brought up his half-century in 30 balls and also struck nine fours before he was bowled by Calum Haggett.
McCullum's innings overshadowed that of Dawid Malan, who celebrated his call-up to England's squad for next week's third Test against South Africa by making 33 before becoming the first of Coles' four victims.
His final-over heroics saw him become the third Kent bowler to take a T20 hat-trick, following on from Ryan McLaren in 2007 and Wahab Riaz in 2011, as he finished with 4-32.
Kent's reply got off to the worst possible start as they lost the in-form Daniel Bell-Drummond and Joe Denly to slump to 2-2.
Northeast hit 59 and Jimmy Neesham 52 to give Kent hope but they fell short in front of Middlesex's record outground crowd of 4,107 at Richmond.
Leicestershire made it four wins from four to stay top of the North Group with an impressive 27-run victory over Durham.
After Luke Ronchi (32), Cameron Deport (29) and Mark Cosgrove (33) laid a strong foundation, the Foxes lost their way as they collapsed from 100-2 to 144-8, Paul Collingwood taking 4-24.
But their attack defended a score of less than 150 for the third successive game as they reduced Durham to 39-5 before the hosts mustered only 117-8 from their 20 overs, with 20-year-old slow left-armer Callum Parkinson taking 3-20.
Jofra Archer starred for Sussex as they picked up their first win of the competition by ending South Group leaders Hampshire's 100% record.
The 22-year-old paceman, from Barbados, ripped through Hampshire's top order to finish with 4-18 as the home side could only post 126-9.
Reece Topley trapped Luke Wright leg before with the third ball of Sussex's reply but they cruised to their target with 16 balls to spare to win by six wickets.
Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien bought a 68% controlling stake in July - but the Swans' poor start to the season saw fans turn on them and club directors.
Relations have since improved with the Supporters' Trust, which owns 21% of the club.
The forum with Kaplan and Levien will take place on Tuesday, 4 April.
A statement on the Trust's website said the event, which will be held at the Liberty Stadium, will be open to members only.
Kaplan and Levien will attend Swansea's crucial Premier League fixture at home to relegation rivals Middlesbrough on Sunday.
They also plan to be at the Liberty Stadium for the match against Tottenham on Wednesday, 5 April.
Austrian cross-country skier Johannes Duerr was revealed on Sunday to have tested positive for blood-boosting drug EPO before the Games.
He had been due to be a seeded starter in Sunday's final cross-country event.
I have absolutely nothing to hide
Backstrom was pulled out of Sweden's ice hockey final against Canada after testing positive for a substance found in an allergy medication.
The 26-year-old, who plays for the Washington Capitals in the National Hockey League in North America, is a star player for his national side, and in his absence Sweden lost 3-0 to Canada in Sunday's final.
"I have absolutely nothing to hide," said Backstrom. "I have allergy problems, and I have been taking Zyrtec-D for many years, and it was a little shocking to me to be honest with you.
"I feel like I haven't done anything differently now than the last seven years. I've been playing internationally for many years and I haven't seen this before.
"I was ready to play probably the biggest game of my career, and two-and-a-half hours before the game I got pulled aside. I was very sad, and honestly I felt bad for the guys.
"Lots of guys were in the locker room when they called me out."
Latvian hockey player Vitalijs Pavlovs, Ukrainian cross-country skier Marina Lisogor, German biathlete Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle and Italian bobsleigher William Frullani had already tested positive for banned substances under the International Olympic Committee's doping control programme.
Duerr tested positive for EPO, or recombinant erythropoietin, which belongs to class S2 on the prohibited substances list.
After being caught and subsequently sent home, the 26-year-old apologised for letting down all the people who had helped and supported him during his career.
"There's nothing left for me than to apologise to everyone - to my family, my wife," Duerr told Austrian TV ORF.
"For me the main thing is simply all the people I disappointed. Yes, I can't make it good again but I would just like to apologise."
Duerr also admitted to being relieved that everything was now out in the open.
"So many people worked their butts off for me and I disappointed them with my stupidity," he said.
"First of all I would simply like to apologise and everything else, all further steps, we'll see what comes my way. I don't know myself yet. Part of me is happy that it came to an end."
Austrian Olympic chief Karl Stoss said the news had "shocked" him, adding: "Johannes is a great guy, so I don't understand how it could happen."
Parents at the independent Tavistock and Summerhill school in Haywards Heath received an email on Monday saying it would not reopen after half term.
A notice on the school gate said it had been placed into voluntary liquidation.
Governors said the closure was regrettable and that they were grateful to teachers, parents, suppliers and benefactors for their support.
Elaine Prentice, whose three-year-old daughter attended the nursery school, said the way parents had been treated was very sad.
"A lot of them are very upset. We have only got four days to find a new school," she said.
"The governors must have known in September that things were bad, but new staff were taken on."
A spokesman for West Sussex County Council said parents of children at the school who wished to apply for a place at local maintained schools should contact the pupil admissions team.
"We aim to process in year applications within 10 school days," he said.
RSM Restructuring Advisory Ltd said it had been instructed to assist the directors in preparing the school to be liquidated, but had not been appointed as liquidators.
The school has places for 100 pupils from reception to year eight and 50 pupils in the nursery.
The email said there had been a significant drop in pupil numbers during the summer months.
It added that a team had been appointed to develop a long-term funding strategy for the school, but it was unable to remain solvent to implement it.
Ms Prentice said she had paid £1,400 in advance for her child to attend the nursery two days a week this term, but would have to attempt to recover the money from the liquidator, RSM UK in Crawley.
The school board said there had been numerous attempts to secure the long-term future of the school over the past five years.
"During this year, a number of alternative management structures had been proposed, all of which have ultimately proved to be unviable," it said in a statement.
A creditors' meeting is to be held in November.
The Portishead branch line shut in 1964 and is due to reopen in 2020.
The £100m scheme by the West of England Partnership and Network Rail will link the town with Bristol Temple Meads and the Severn Beach Line.
But a report by the partnership has warned the cost of the MetroWest Phase 1 project will surpass its budget.
It cited losing two level crossings on the route and engineering works through the Avon Gorge and South Bristol will "considerably" increase the estimated costs.
The rail firm has not yet revealed details of further costs involved but will do so when it publishes its own report in March.
Discussions are under way with Network Rail and the Department for Transport on "how additional funding can be identified", the report said.
Elfan Ap Rees, deputy leader of North Somerset Council, accused Network Rail of putting up "utterly ridiculous obstacles".
"We've got freight trains using that particular line every day," he said.
"We're talking about five kilometres of new track laid over where there was a railway line before."
Network Rail said it had worked "very closely" with the partnership to undertake "a detailed engineering study to determine the extent of works and associated costs".
"We are now nearing the completion of that study and will be presenting the details of the various options and costs to the West of England Transport Partnership in March this year to enable them to determine the best way forward, " it added.
Under caretaker boss Mike Phelan, Hull took the lead when Adama Diomande and Abel Hernandez combined acrobatically, with Diomande awarded the goal.
Riyad Mahrez replied from the penalty spot at the start of the second half after Demarai Gray had been fouled.
But Robert Snodgrass earned the Tigers victory after a cross was not cleared.
Danny Simpson's clearance from Ahmed Elmohamady's ball into the area only found Snodgrass on the edge of the box, and he drilled home.
It is the first time the reigning English champions have started the season with a defeat since 1989, when Arsenal lost at Manchester United.
The Foxes' title success was built on a solid defence and clinical finishing, but they managed neither at the KCOM Stadium.
With Robert Huth suspended, summer signing Luis Hernandez came into the Leicester back four, which looked vulnerable whenever Hull attacked down the flanks.
The defending champions also struggled up front, with Jamie Vardy missing their best chances - and they needed the help of referee Mike Dean for their equaliser.
Tom Huddlestone appeared to stand on Gray's heels outside the Hull area, but he fell into the box and Dean pointed to the spot.
Vardy, who scored 24 Premier League goals last season, miscued badly from two Musa pull-backs and had another follow-up effort blocked by Jake Livermore after Christian Fuchs' shot was saved.
But otherwise Leicester created little against a makeshift Hull defence that featured midfielder Livermore at centre-half alongside Curtis Davies.

BBC Radio 5 live analyst Chris Waddle felt the balance of Claudio Ranieri's side was wrong, with Gray, Musa and Vardy often all in the same area of the pitch.
"Mahrez was great on the left but Gray kept cutting in from the left and the two strikers Musa and Vardy were almost holding hands with him.
"N'Golo Kante has been sold so Andy King was playing in front of their defence, but he did not look like he has the energy to play there.
"King likes to get forward - dropping off and getting the ball like Kante did is not his strength."
There was a distinct lack of a party atmosphere at the KCOM Stadium as the game started, with home fans protesting against current owner Assam Allam and a lot of empty seats as well as banners.
With no manager to replace Steve Bruce, no new signings since they were promoted via the play-offs and talk of a takeover, it was a far from ideal way for Hull to mark their return to the Premier League.
Phelan's wafer-thin squad was expected to be cannon fodder for the champions, but he had clearly prepared them well because they started solidly and soon began causing Leicester problems.
Their spectacular and slightly bizarre opening goal came from a well-worked corner routine that saw Davies nod on at the near post.
They looked lively down the flanks, especially the impressive Elmohamady down the right, and rarely looked in danger when Leicester attacked.
The Foxes only lost three out of 38 league games last season - to Arsenal twice and Liverpool - but while Hull's success was unexpected, it was also fully deserved for their organisation and endeavour.

Michael "Mikey" Williamson and Martin Shaw, who were both 23 and living in Inverness, were found dead within days of each other in October.
Family and friends fear the young men took their own lives.
Mikeysline will offer support via text messages and will be staffed by volunteers.
Jamie-Lyn McBride, a friend of the two men, said: "There is not enough support in the north of Scotland for young people contemplating suicide, or just don't know how to cope with how they are feeling."
Michael Williamson's uncle, Ron Williamson, said one of the aims of the new service would be to make people know that they were not alone in struggling with their emotions, or troubles in their lives.
He said: "The people who think they are alone don't know that the person standing next to them in the supermarket queue, or the girl in the corner desk, or the guy in the pub cracking the jokes are also suffering.
"By getting this out there, people their own age can talk to them."
Mr Williamson was found dead only hours after returning from a night out to remember his friend Mr Shaw. The pair had a wide circle of friends.
Earlier this week, their families and friends gathered with others who had lost friends and relatives in Inverness city centre to remember them and to hold a pre-launch event of the new text service.

Mr Pritchard is charged with assault and burglary. The trio are due at Dudley Magistrates Court on 21 June.
Two other teenagers are accused of Mr Johnson's murder and a 16-year-old is also charged with burglary.

A post-mortem examination confirmed he died of stab wounds.
The largest teachers' union, the EIS, has condemned the move, but the SQA said the changes should improve security and confidentiality.
For several years, candidates have not been able to take exam papers out of the exam room.
However, teachers had access to the papers once the exam had finished.
In recent years there have been a number of occasions when candidates condemned question papers on social media - on some occasions, the concerns they raised about the level of difficulty were not reflected in the exam results.
Last year, a new question paper was issued in Higher English at relatively short notice amid concern the contents of the original paper were at risk of leaking out.
The EIS says the SQA should rethink the policy.
EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said: "It is disappointing that the SQA is apparently putting the management of its own public image ahead of the desire of pupils to discuss exam papers with their teachers.
"It is very important for pupils, following the often stressful experience of an exam, to have the opportunity to discuss the paper with their teachers and to receive feedback while the experience is fresh in their mind.
"This then allows pupils to put that exam behind them, and free them up to mentally prepare for their next exam.
"It is not in the interest of pupils to prolong this process unnecessarily, as this can lead to increased worry and stress on the part of the young people concerned."
The SQA said it continually reviewed its processes in areas such as question paper confidentiality and security.
A spokesman said: "At the end of each exam, invigilators are required to collect all exam papers, which are then returned to the chief invigilators.
"Those papers will now be released to heads of centres the next day.
"We took this decision to prevent any breach of question paper security and confidentiality, but to also remove the risk of inappropriate postings on social media which can cause distress for candidates."
Imber in Wiltshire is normally closed to civilians as it is in a Ministry of Defence (MoD) training zone on Salisbury Plain.
The population was told to leave in December 1943 and has never returned.
The isolated village and St Giles Church, the only building left intact after the Army took over, will be open to visitors until 5 January.
Public access to Imber is granted by the MoD on up to 50 days each year.
But with military training dictating dates of public access and the MoD reserving the right to close off access without notice, the number of days granted falls well short of that.
However Neil Skelton, a custodian of the Grade I listed church, said when public access is granted, the church always attracts large numbers of visitors.
On the four open days over Easter, around 4,000 people visited, while the Christmas carol service had to be made ticket-only for the first time this year in a bid to limit the congregation to just 250.
"Anywhere that has restricted access always has an interest from a public point of view and people do take advantage of the opening," he said.
St Giles Church will be open between 11:00 and 16:00 GMT along with the village of Imber until 5 January.

GB scored 113.9 in Strzegom, Poland, with Germany (123.0) in second place and Sweden (148.4) taking bronze.
British rider Nicola Wilson, on Bulana, won bronze in the individual event, with Germany's Ingrid Klimke and Michael Jung taking gold and silver.
GB's Tina Cook was fourth, with Ros Canter fifth and Gemma Tattersall in eighth.
The German team had been in the gold medal position after the dressage event on Friday, before an impressive performance by GB in Saturday's cross-country saw them lead going into the final showjumping stage.
Wilson, Cook and Canter all put in clear rounds to secure GB's first European gold since the 2009 event in Fontainebleau, France.
"I think I'm still pinching myself. It's just been amazing," said Wilson.
Cook added: "We were really wanting that gold, it's been a few years and it's fantastic to be back in this position."
It was a spectacular start for new British performance coach Chris Bartle, the Yorkshireman who left his role with Germany earlier this year after masterminding Olympic, World and European gold medal successes.
"I can't put it into words how impressed I am - I just couldn't be more proud," he said.
"They all rode exactly as they trained and what they're capable of. We now want more golds, for as long as we can."

Penarth lifeboat crews have been called to reports of people stuck on Sully Island six times so far this year.
A spokesman for Penarth RNLI said the causeway to the island experiences the "second strongest tide in the world".
"The important message is not to try and make your way back," he said. "If the worst happens, ring 999."
The RNLI installed the traffic lights system in June 2014 to warn visitors when they are likely to be cut off.
New warning signs were also installed in July last year to raise awareness further.
The spokesman said: "The Bristol Channel has the second strongest tide in the world. You don't stand a chance if you try and walk against it.
"In all but the lowest of tides, the force of travel is eight or nine knots (9-10mph) from the moment you get sucked off the causeway.
"We're trying to raise awareness amongst the people considering a visit to the island, to take note of the signage and traffic lights system and make sure they've got enough time to get back to shore."
The spokesman said it was possible some people got the high-tide time mixed up with the time they are going to be cut off.
"The cut-off time is three-and-a-quarter hours before the high tide," he warned.
"We've tried to look for patterns and trends, but it's not uniquely visitors [that get stuck] we also get fishermen who are familiar with the island.
"It looks such a short distance, but the tide is not like running a bath where the water inches up, it's pretty quick and dramatic and people get caught out."
He said the causeway itself is "very rocky" and covered with barnacles and weeds, making it slippery.
"We had an incident where two women were washed off the causeway and received medical aid for cuts and bruises from the rocks," he added.
"Also, there's the temperature of the water - the lifeboat and coastguard crews will have full dry suits on with warm clothing underneath. Even in summer the sea temperature can be really cold around here."
The RNLI urged anyone who sees somebody else in trouble in the water to resist the temptation to try a rescue themselves and to instead call 999.
The entertainment giant reported a 9% rise in revenue to $14.2bn (£10.9bn) - slightly higher than Wall Street predictions.
Profit for the quarter to 2 July was $120m higher at $2.6bn.
Disney also said it had bought a 33% stake in a video streaming company, BAMTech, for $1bn.
Movies including The Jungle Book and Marvel's Captain America: Civil War helped propel revenues at its studio divis
Finding Dory had the most successful launch for an animated film in US box office history when it opened in June, making $136.2m in its first weekend.
Disney's parks and resorts division reported a 6% rise in revenue despite increased cost from the launch of its first park in China and a slowdown in visitor numbers in France.
In June the company opened Shanghai Disney and is already planning an expansion to handle more visitors by 2021.
Revenue at Disney's cable TV networks rose 1.4% to $4.2bn in the quarter, with a modest gain for sports network ESPN.
ESPN has been a weak point for Disney in past quarters. As some viewers shun expensive cable TV subscriptions in favour of streaming services, investors have worried about the prospects of a network that has traditionally been a cash-cow for the company.
The stake in BAMTech, which was once part of Major League Baseball's media business, reflects Disney's attempt to reflect viewers' changing habits.
It will develop a multi-sport subscription streaming service with BAMTech.
However, Disney said that content from ESPN's cable networks would not be carried by the new streaming service. That reflects the company's attempt not to cannibalise cable subscribers - and the lucrative fees it earned from cable companies in return for carrying ESPN.
Disney chief executive Bob Iger said the firm would work with BAMTech to "explore new ways to deliver the unmatched content of the Walt Disney Company across a variety of platforms".
Disney will have the option to buy a majority stake in the future.
BAMTech's platforms serve nearly 7.5 million paid subscribers for customers including HBO's streaming platform.

The 3.7m (12ft) cephalopod was much smaller than the 13m they can grow to.
It spent several hours in the harbour on Christmas Eve and was filmed by local divers.
Professional underwater cameraman Takayoshi Kojima told the BBC he rushed to the harbour when a marina manager called and he helped guide the squid to the exit to the sea, where it finally disappeared.
Two-year-old Mandarin Princess, trained by Charlie McBride, was declared the winner on 27 July after beating Fyre Cay.
But a scan afterwards identified the horse as three-year-old stablemate Millie's Kiss, who had been due to run in a later race at the same course.
McBride said it was an "honest error".
The result officially stands for betting purposes, but some bookmakers said they will pay out on the horses finishing first and second.
McBride has reportedly said he will use £600 he won backing Mandarin Princess each way at Yarmouth towards the fine.
"Most of the runners you run you hope would run well so as support for the horse you'd put £10 each way, or £5 each way," he is quoted as saying outside the hearing.
"In this case I had £10 each way and was hoping she might scrape into the first three as a fun bet. That's all. The fine's £1,500, so I'm still £1,000 out of pocket."
Aravindan Balakrishnan, 75, raped two followers and falsely imprisoned and mistreated his daughter for more than 30 years in a commune in south London.
He told his followers he had God-like powers, Southwark Crown Court heard.
He warned them a supernatural force called Jackie would cause natural disasters if he was ever disobeyed.
Cult victims 'too frightened to leave'
Balakrishnan, of Enfield, north London, was convicted of six counts of indecent assault, four counts of rape and two counts of actual bodily harm. He was also found guilty of cruelty to a child under 16.
Southwark Crown Court heard he carried out a "brutal" campaign of violence.
Following the verdict, Judge Deborah Taylor told Balakrishnan he faced a "substantial custodial sentence".
Balakrishnan's daughter, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she was "overwhelmed with relief".
She added: "I believe justice has definitely been done.
"I am very happy with the result and, at the end of the day, he is still my dad."
Det Sgt Paul Wiggett said the cult leader's daughter was scared of her father and that she "genuinely believed the day she left the house she was going to explode - that her life would come to an end".
More news on this and other stories from London
The woman was born to Balakrishnan follower Sian Davies, who was known as Comrade Sian, but the then 13-year-old was unaware she was her mother.
Sian Davies suffered fatal injuries when she fell from a window at the cult's home on Christmas Eve in 1996.
Balakrishnan's daughter told the court she was beaten and banned from singing nursery rhymes, going to school or making friends.
Describing herself as a "caged bird", the woman escaped in 2013 at the age of 30 with the help of a charity.
Speaking about her escape she told the court: "If I hadn't [died] from diabetes I would have committed suicide, because I just couldn't bear feeling like that any more.
"I just had enough. I didn't want to live like an animal any more."
Speaking about life inside the commune, the imprisoned woman said: "I felt like a caged bird with clipped wings. Like a fly in a spider's web."
The court heard she found courage to fight back from the stories of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings - the only books she was allowed to read because Balakrishnan identified with the characters.
In 2005, then in her 20s, she made an escape and went to a police station, but the court heard she was encouraged to return home.
Balakrishnan came to the UK from Singapore in 1963 and enrolled at the London School of Economics.
By the 1970s he was heading a Maoist group known as the Workers Institute, based in Acre Lane, Brixton, and had gained several followers.
But over the years this group dwindled to six women and was transformed into a "cult of Bala", where his followers were only allowed to read left-wing texts and were sexually assaulted and beaten.
Giving evidence, Balakrishnan denied sex assault allegations and insisted two victims in the commune had "pushed" him to have sex and competed for his attentions, even with the mother of his daughter.
He said his views were grounded in the teachings of the Chinese revolutionary leader Chairman Mao which "meant almost everything to him".
After the verdict one of the defendant's former followers, Belfast-born Josephine Herivel shouted: "You are sending an innocent man to prison. Shame on you."
Praising the victims, the chief crown prosecutor for London, Baljit Ubhey, said: "Balakrishnan has robbed these women including his own daughter of a huge part of their lives."
Yvonne Hall and Gerard Stocks, founders of Palm Cove Society which supported the three victims, said: "This is the end of the beginning and now starts the rest of the incredible journey for each of the women."
Balakrishnan, who was originally arrested in November 2013, was cleared of one count of actual bodily harm and one count of indecent assault.
He is due to be sentenced on 29 January.
A new inquest into the death of Sian Davies, 44, could be ordered following Balakrishnan's conviction, the Guardian has reported. A coroner had previously returned an open verdict.
A spokesman for the south London coroner, Dr Andrew Harris, said he would now "consider whether there is fresh evidence which should be brought to the High Court to decide whether to quash the former inquisition and whether to order a new inquest".
Balakrishnan's trial heard Ms Davies was acting "oddly" and the night before the fall her daughter heard shouts and saw her lying bound and gagged on the floor.
In 2001 another woman, Oh Kareng, died after hitting her head on a kitchen cabinet. She was found to have died from natural causes after suffering massive internal bleeding.
Det Ch Supt Tom Manson said: "Following the investigation in relation to the property where this unfolded, our review team from the Homicide Command Unit reviewed both the deaths and there was no evidence to suggest that the deaths of Sian Davies or Oh Kareng were homicides."
Some believe that while Mr Strauss-Kahn's conduct may have been distasteful, the investigation's case was simply "poorly put together", as Bruno Becard puts it in La Nouvelle Republique du Centre Ouest.
Le Figaro's judicial affairs analyst Stephane Durand-Soufflant compares the ruling to taking a "chainsaw" to the prosecution's case.
"The criminal court in Lille so brutally pruned the tree of the case that the three botanists of the judicial investigation had cultivated in a greenhouse that nothing but a puny branch remained," he writes.
"In this story of orgies and cattle for slaughter" - as the prostitutes were reportedly referred to at the orgies in question - "the court decided it had to rule on the law, and not make a moral judgment," writes Pierre Frehel in Le Republicain Lorrain.
In L'Est Republicain, Philippe Marcacci says that only a week after one of the suspects in an unrelated 10-year paedophilia case was acquitted, this is "another fiasco" for the judicial system.
But in Belgium - scene of some of the sex parties Mr Strauss-Kahn attended - Thierry Dupiereux argues in L'Avenir that the fact that one of his co-defendants was convicted of pimping shows that the case overall was not "totally void", adding: "One cannot talk of a 'judicial fiasco'."
In the German magazine Der Spiegel, Stephan Simons argues that the acquittal still leaves Mr Strauss-Kahn - often referred to as "DSK" - morally "guilty".
"According to the ruling, DSK is not a pimp, but just a 'libertine' and a testosterone-damaged macho - not a criminal offence, but morally bankrupt. In the court of public opinion, he is still a convicted man."
Most commentators agree that Mr Strauss-Kahn is unlikely to relaunch his political career.
"His personal image is in ruins: He appeared as an immoral, misogynistic, supercilious, aloof and dishonest man," historian Christian Delporte writes in France's Le Figaro.
For Patrice Chabanet, in Le Journal de la Haute-Marne, Mr Strauss-Kahn - "already tarnished" by accusations - later thrown out - that he raped a hotel chambermaid in New York - has "now been finished off".
"Dominique Strauss-Kahn has his political future behind him", writes Raymond Couraud in L'Alsace. "Nobody knows if he regrets that, but he only has himself to blame."
But L'Express offers a chink of light for Mr Strauss-Kahn, pointing out that an opinion poll in April suggested that DSK - amid widespread disillusionment with politics - was the only French politician to see his rating rise.

The image by Swiss-Italian photographer Claudio Rasano is part of a series of photographs entitled Similar Uniforms: We Refuse to Compare.
The pictures focus on "issues of preserving individuality in the context of school uniforms", he said.
Rasano was awarded the £15,000 prize at a ceremony in London on Tuesday night.
It is the third time he has featured in the Taylor Wessing prize exhibition, having previously had work shown in 2011 and 2013.
The photograph of teenager Katlehong Matsenen was shot outdoors in front of a plain white paper background.
Rasano explained the idea behind his series of images, saying: "Children themselves have been known to rebel against uniforms, especially as they approach the awkward age characterised by the need to fit in and the desire to stand out, all at the same time.
"Some experts too have spoken against school uniforms on the grounds that they suppress individuality and diversity."
It is the second year that photographers have been encouraged to submit works as a series, in addition to stand-alone portraits.
For the first time this year the rules also allowed photographers to submit images on different support layers such as glass, plastic film, paper, or resin-coated paper, to encourage the demonstration of a range of different photographic processes.
The second prize was awarded to American artist Joni Sternbach, who uses early photographic processes to create contemporary landscapes and environmental portraits, centring on man's relationship to water.
She was awarded £3,000 for her portrait Thea+Maxwell, from her series of photographs called Surfland.
Sternbach said of the image of two surfers: "For me, this photograph represents many of the challenging aspects of creating a portrait. I was in an entirely new location and faced with people I'd never met before.
"In this spectacular environment, I aimed to create a dynamic complexity within the picture that was both unique to that person and also understandable to others."
The third prize of £2,000 went to Kovi Konowiecki for his photographs Shimi Beitar Illit and Tilly and Itty Beitar Illit, part of a series of inkjet prints of Orthodox Jews.
The American artist said when he set out on the project "it was an attempt to both strengthen my ties to my family's history and shed light on the traditions of a people that seem strange to modern society".
The former professional footballer started by contacting members of the Jewish community from Long Beach, California, where he grew up.
It evolved into travels across the world "to capture Orthodox Jews who, although they live thousands of miles apart, are bound together by history, tradition and a set of values that serve as the cornerstone of the lives of many who live in today's society".
The colours and floral background "create a painting-like quality, highlighting the mysticism of the subjects and their association with a history that many may find unfamiliar".
The John Kobal New Work Award for photographers under 35 was won by Josh Redman for his portrait, Frances.
Frances, a photograph of an 83-year-old woman Redman found via Facebook, is from a series of studio portraits.
The untitled project of nude sitters, taken with identical lighting and backgrounds, is an attempt to "understand portraiture", the British photographer said.
The £5,000 prize also includes a commission to photograph a sitter connected with the UK film industry for the National Portrait Gallery's collection.
The winning portraits will be on display at the gallery from 17 November to 26 February 2017.

Mickey Mellon's side secured their fourth consecutive league win courtesy of young defender Olly Marx's first half own goal.
Rovers' win saw them replace Lincoln as leaders, although the Imps beat Bromley later in the day to return to the top.
Dean Keates' Wrexham have gone five successive league games without a win.
Jeff Hughes had gone close with a free-kick for Rovers before the visitors went ahead when 18-year-old Marx turned Lee Vaughan's shot into his own net on his home debut.
Tranmere were in control and home keeper Chris Dunn denied Vaughan and former Wrexham midfielder Jay Harris.
Ex-Dragon Connor Jennings' header was cleared off the line by Marx in between Rob Evans and Jordan White both firing over the crossbar for the hosts.
Heavy rain made conditions difficult in the second half, but Cole Stockton and James Norwood had chances to extend Tranmere's lead while Dunn saved from Liam Ridehalgh.
Wrexham pushed for an equaliser, but substitute Izale McLeod's scuffed close range effort and Ollie Shenton's shot over the bar summed up the home side's afternoon.
Wrexham manager Dean Keates told BBC Radio Wales: "On another day I think we could have nicked a draw.
"In the last 20 minutes we grew into it and obviously the same in the second half when in the last 20 minutes e pushed them right back and had a good go at them.
"But in the first 25 minutes of both halves we didn't ask enough questions."

A 10-year project costing £500m will turn the rundown area - which will be renamed Paradise, without "circus" - into shops, offices, restaurants and a new hotel.
The work is due to begin next week, and in conjunction with the remedial work under way at Spaghetti Junction, drivers are expected to face delays and diversions.
BBC Midlands Today's Giles Latcham looked at what the future may hold for the city centre.
Biofouling by barnacles, mussels and similar animals could pose problems for the growing offshore renewable energy industry.
The UK government's Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult has commissioned the study to see if these "sessile" creatures could harm attempts to harvest power from offshore wind, wave and tide.
The partnership involves the commercial arms of the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, and the paint and coatings company AkzoNobel.
One outcome could be a map showing what kinds of creatures are where - and how the renewables industry can avoid them.
Viewed up close - for which you'll typically need some Scuba gear - they can look pretty disgusting.
Luckily Dr Raeanne Miller loves them.
"I think these are incredible little micro-worlds," she says, "with lots and lots of different types of creatures, each one doing their own thing to survive in some incredibly harsh environments.
"And I think that's really amazing."
Formally they're called sessile animals, creatures that spend their adult lives anchored to one spot on rocks, jetties and piers.
In most situations they do little harm, even though boat owners consider them a pain in the keel.
Some species are soft and unassuming. But the hard-shelled ones like barnacles and mussels can add as much as twenty kilos to every square metre of a structure.
And when they set up home they do it quickly.
In the laboratories of the Scottish Association for Marine Science at Dunstaffnage near Oban, Dr Miller shows me two black plastic plates that have been for dip in the Firth of Clyde.
She said: "Originally these were completely clean plates. After eight weeks all sorts of animals have come and they've settled down to live.
"They've grown bigger and bigger and bigger over these eight weeks."
They have indeed. Both plates are covered with a variety of fascinatingly shaped creatures.
In the sea they'd be fascinatingly coloured too, but the alcohol in which they've been preserved has turned them all a faintly disappointing shade of beige.
It's the sessile sea animals' weight problem that has the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult particularly concerned.
It's been set up by the UK government to be its flagship technology and innovation centre for offshore renewables.
With offshore floating wind, wave and tidal projects in varying stages of preparedness, the Catapult doesn't want these clingy creatures to be a drag on a developing industry.
That's why it is leading this study.
Its project manager, Vicky Coy, has questions she hopes it will answer.
"Do things grow on devices? How quickly do they grow? Where do they grow?
"We want to really fend off that issue before it becomes something that affects developers."
The study's outcomes could include new coatings or designs to deter marine life from moving in.
Another possibility is a map of UK waters showing which species are clinging on and where.
That might give developers the chance to avoid marine organisms which might gum up the works.
It's an approach which particularly interests Dr Miller
She added: "By allowing renewable energy developers to predict what types of creatures could grow on their structures, they could be able to plan for their maintenance and how they operate their turbines or other devices."
True to the scientific method, the project will be making no assumptions. Before seeking a solution to the problem it will establish whether a problem exists.
But if it works, knowledge really will be power.
Leading Logistician Scott Furber, 29, had been accused of filming the encounter on board HMS Diamond without the Wren's knowledge or permission.
Mr Furber was acquitted by a panel of three senior officers after a two-day trial at Portsmouth Naval Base.
The pair could still be punished for breaking the navy's "no touching" rule.
The trial heard that Mr Furber, who is based at HMS Excellent in Portsmouth, agreed to meet the woman for consensual sex in the showers of the Type 45 destroyer while it was alongside in Limassol, Cyprus, in June 2014.
Before the woman arrived, Mr Furber set his mobile phone on a shelf in the shower and made a 10-minute recording of the encounter. He told the court that they had agreed earlier in the day to film the session.
Judge Advocate Jeff Blackett told Mr Furber that he and his colleague could still be disciplined for contravening the "no touching" rule.
He said: "You have been found not guilty by this court of the charge of voyeurism.
"Whether the service prosecuting authority consider a breach of standing orders is not something this court has any view on."
Labour education spokesman Iain Gray called on SNP ministers to make the pledge now.
Mr Gray said the additional money should be used for education in the poorest parts of the country.
He said the government could make "a signal of intent" that it would increase income tax on high earners.
It comes after both First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Education Secretary Angela Constance conceded improvements are needed to Scotland's education system.
Recent figures showed a decline in reading and writing skills.
At the education debate on Tuesday, Ms Constance said teacher training courses must spend "sufficient time and resource on these basic skills".
She told MSPs: "We must ensure that new teachers have the skills and confidence they need to teach literacy and numeracy to the highest of standards."
Liz Smith, the Conservative spokeswoman for young people, also criticised the Scottish government.
She said: "With a cutback in teacher numbers it is no surprise that pupil attainment is down."
Ms Smith said there were now "weaker standards in reading, writing and arithmetic" as well as an "appalling attainment gap which fails so many pupils from poorer backgrounds".
Mr Gray added: "The truth is we will not reduce the attainment gap while cutting thousands of teachers and increasing class sizes and spreading resources ever thinner.
"That's why we should commit now, as a signal of intent, that when we have the power to raise a top tax rate of 50p we will do that and use the resource to raise the life chance of those children."
Meanwhile, Conservative MSP Mary Scanlon raised concerns that teacher training colleges devote "as little as 20 hours in a four year course" to literacy training, compared to 90 hours in England.
Ms Constance told her: "It is something I will seek to address further with the providers of teacher education and also the GTCS (General Teaching Council for Scotland).
"But it is an important point if we want our children to be achieving literacy and numeracy levels at the highest levels we need to consider what support we give to people, particularly as they enter their profession."
Holyrood does not yet have the power to raise the top rate of income tax, but is expected to get these powers in the coming years as part of a further package of devolution that was drawn up by the Smith Commission.
Earlier, the EIS - the country's largest teaching union - said teachers must not be used as the "scapegoat" for problems in Scotland's education system.
Ahead of the debate, the EIS submitted its views on the Education Scotland Bill, highlighting that schools and teachers are committed to tackling the impact of poverty but required the resources to do so.
It also argued that the education system "must not become a convenient political scapegoat for the very difficult societal challenges that poverty in the age of austerity can create".
EIS general secretary Larry Flanagan said: "It is simply wrong and wholly unacceptable for any politician from any political party to attempt to blame schools or teachers for the problems of poverty in society."
Inter have been without a permanent manager since the dismissal of Stefano Piolo on 9 May.
Inter and Spalletti verbally confirmed a two-year deal today in Florence and the contract will be signed at the beginning of next week.
Spalletti, 58, finished second with Roma this season in Serie A but left on 30 May after 16 months in charge.
Inter's ambitious Chinese owners, the Suning Group, are keen to restore the club's fortunes after a seventh-place finish in Serie A this season.
If Spalletti is appointed, one of his first tasks will be to resolve the future of Croatia winger Ivan Perisic.
Manchester United have spoken to Inter about the £45m-rated player but no deal has been agreed.
Perisic scored 11 goals in 36 league appearances for Inter during a troubled campaign, which included the departure of Roberto Mancini during pre-season. Mancini's successor, Frank de Boer lasted only 85 days before he was dismissed.
Dr Keith McNeil, who runs Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, urged officials to "figure out" what resources were needed and improve UK recruitment.
Around 7,500 nurses from countries such as Spain, Romania and Italy registered to work in the UK last year.
Health Education England said national training places had increased.
Figures from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) show the recruitment of overseas staff to the UK is growing.
The number of nurses coming here from other parts of the EU has risen steadily during the past six years - now making up the vast majority of new overseas recruits - while the number of foreign nurses from beyond Europe has dropped.
The trend has been driven partly by the financial crisis in countries such as Spain and Portugal - and because of extra demand for NHS nurses in the wake of the Mid Staffordshire scandal.
The number of training places for nurses in England fell in 2011 and 2012.
Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has taken on 303 foreign nurses in the past year.
Half were from the Philippines - with significant numbers from Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Dr McNeil, the trust's chief executive, told BBC News: "Nurses are the backbone of the NHS. You can't run services effectively in an acute hospital like this without adequate numbers of trained nursing staff.
"It's distracting, frustrating and expensive to do international recruitment. It would be nice not to have to do it... [and] to have a more targeted approach."
He added: "We don't have enough home-grown nurses, but we know the demographics. The health service has to figure out what resources are needed for our activity. We need proper planning; I think the people at Health Education England are doing that now.
"At least doing it now means avoiding having to do this in the years to come."
Nursing experts fear that shortages could be fuelled in the coming years by retirement among the baby-boomer generation, and limits on the number of skilled workers from outside the EU who are allowed into the UK.
Last month, NHS Employers issued guidance to trusts on how to plan successful international recruitment.
Addenbrooke's believes it costs £3,000 to recruit each nurse from elsewhere in the EU.
New arrivals are given their first month's accommodation and also £400, so long as they stay for 18 months.
They are also sent on a language course if they need to boost their conversational skills in English - as well as being given 10 weeks of support in the hospital to help their technical and clinical language.
The Cambridge hospital believes the big recruitment drive is paying off, because it is now using fewer temporary staff from agencies.
But there have been concerns that some overseas nurses leave the UK after just a short period here.
Commenting on the need for more UK training, the head of the Royal College of Nursing, Dr Peter Carter, said: "Last year there were 57,000 applicants for 20,000 nurse training posts.
"Isn't that a matter of huge regret that you've got people in the four countries of the UK who want to train as nurses. They're being turned away, while we're going off and raiding the often impoverished workforce of other countries."
He added: "It's hugely regrettable and the UK is not exactly covering itself in glory in this."
The organisation now in charge of nurse training, Health Education England, says it has increased places by 14% in two years.
A spokeswoman said: "The number of nurses in the NHS is a matter of public and political comment, and HEE has responded to those concerns.
"HEE increased adult nurse commissions significantly in its first year and increased them again the following year.
"And we launched the Return to Practice campaign which has already started 1,300 experienced nurses on their journey back into the NHS. [Some] 160 of these have successfully completed training and are now employed."
Bolt, 29, sustained the grade-one tear during the first round of the 100m and withdrew after winning his semi-final.
He is still expected to defend his 100 and 200m titles as Jamaica's selection policy allows medical exemptions.
Bolt "will seek treatment immediately" and is aiming to return for the London Anniversary Games on July 22.
In the double world champion's absence, the 100m final in Kingston was won by London 2012 silver medallist Yohan Blake in a time of 9.95 seconds.
Meanwhile, Sanya Richards-Ross will not defend her 400m title in Rio after pulling out of the US Olympic trials in Eugene, Oregon.
The 31-year-old, who will retire at the end of the season, dropped out after 250m of her heat with a hamstring injury
"I've had an amazing career," the three-time Olympian said. "No Rio. That's the toughest part. No matter how banged up you are you still think it's possible."
Adam Stokes, 11, and his brother Matthew, five, died at their home in Leicestershire along with their father David Stokes.
No arrests have been made and police are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.
The service was at St Mary's Church in Hinckley, where the boys lived.
It is almost eight months since the boys died on 2 November, and their bereaved mother, Sally Stokes, said: "This day has been long awaited."
Mr Stokes, 43, died from a stab wound but Leicestershire Police said the cause of the boys' deaths had not yet been "conclusively ascertained".
Live updates from the East Midlands
The curate of St Mary's, Rev Angela Tarry, read a message on behalf of the boys' mother.
"Sally and her family would like to thank her friends, Adam and Matthew's friends, and the whole community for all uniting together and showing such support at what has and continues to be the most difficult time of their lives," she said.
Mrs Stokes, who was injured during the incident, also praised the medical staff who treated her, her counsellor, the police, the church and the boys' school.
Preaching the sermon, Rev John Whittaker said of Matthew: "He loved his mum and was very affectionate to her.
"'Miss you Mummy', he would cry out, as she left the back door of the house to put the washing out."
Rachel Ayres, head teacher of St Mary's Church of England primary school, paid tribute to the boys and said fellow pupils were still "struggling to come to terms" with their deaths.
"They played a huge part in the life of St Mary's and had many friends," Mrs Ayres said.
"Whilst we know the boys are gone, we are remembering with fondness those happy memories which will live in our hearts forever."
Richard Spalding, whose son was Adam's close friend, has set up an online fundraising campaign.
He hopes to establish a memorial for the community, with any remaining funds to be used to assist the family.
A spokesman for the Rutland and North Leicestershire coroner said a review was due to take place in October and a full inquest into the three deaths would be held after that.
Net profit for 2012 at EADS rose 19% to 1.23bn euros ($1.61bn; £1.06bn). Revenues rose 15% to 56.48bn euros.
Revenues at Airbus rose 17% to 38.59bn euros, mostly due to commercial sales.
However, EADS's profit in the fourth quarter fell sharply after taking one-off charges at its helicopter and defence electronics divisions.
Net profit in the three months to December fell 47% from a year ago to 325m euros.
This was after a 198m-euro hit at its defence electronics contractor Cassidian due to restructuring costs, and a 100m-euro charge at Eurocopter after renegotiating contracts with government customers.
Looking ahead, EADS said its focus was on growing profits, adding there was "still some way to go to meet our profitability targets".
For 2013, it is targeting an operating profit of 3.5bn euros and expects to see "moderate growth" in revenues, though results will be affected by problems with its A350 XWB model.
Shares in EADS rose more than 7% in lunchtime trading in Paris.
In 2012 the group's order intake showed "continuing commercial momentum across the EADS portfolio", the firm said.
At the end of 2012, its order book had increased by 5% to 566.5bn euros.
The bulk of that came from Airbus. Its order book increased 6% to 523.4bn euros, although it took fewer orders in 2012 than the year before.
"A strong focus on deliveries helped to significantly improve cash generation during the fourth quarter," said chief executive Tom Enders in a statement.
"Going forward, the focus on bottom line growth remains our priority number one as a management team."
Last month, rival Boeing also reported a sharp rise in profits, thanks in part to stronger sales of commercial planes.
Earlier this month, Airbus said it would not use lithium-ion batteries in its forthcoming A350 plane because of problems that have grounded Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
International regulators grounded all 787 Dreamliners in January so that safety checks could be carried out on their batteries after incidents on a Japan Airlines plane and an All Nippon Airways plane.
Investigations into the battery have so far proved inconclusive.
Airbus's A350, which was intended to challenge the Dreamliner, has been delayed because of a problem with its wings.
"The A350 XWB programme remains challenging," EADS said. "Any schedule change could lead to increasingly higher impact on provisions."
EADS also invited shareholders to an extraordinary meeting on 27 March to approve its new governance structure and a share buyback programme for up to 15% of its stock.
Last year, the group announced sweeping governance changes that will result in Germany and France eventually holding equal stakes in EADS of about 12%, and Spain holding 4%.
This followed the collapse of a proposed merger between EADS and BAE Systems after political deadlock between the UK, French and German governments.
Garry Fleming's wonderful half-volley was a worthy and valuable winner for the Sons, who are eight points ahead of Livingston with two games remaining.
The Buddies had gone in front through a tidy strike by Calum Gallagher.
But Keith Watson's own goal from Mark Docherty's cross brought Dumbarton level before Fleming's masterful finish.
On the 400 year anniversary of William Shakespeare's passing, the quote of his that came to mind was "the course of true love never did run smooth".
A group of six Swiss Sons fans had made the journey of over 1,000 miles to come and watch Dumbarton try to wrap up their place in the second tier for the fifth successive campaign. That's true love, but the afternoon was not going to run completely smoothly.
Victory for the hosts coupled with Livingston dropping points away to Queen of the South was what was needed to do the trick
That formula began looking ambitious after just 10 minutes when St Mirren's long throw was only half-cleared by the Dumbarton defence, allowing Gallagher to send a well controlled, low volley beyond Jamie Ewings and into the corner of the net for his seventh goal of the campaign.
Sons defender Steven Saunders almost levelled immediately but his header was deflected past the same post Garry Fleming would shoot wide of minutes later.
St Mirren looked like they might extend their lead on two occasions before the break, with David Clarkson's effort blocked by Sons defender Gregor Buchanan and Lawrence Shankland missing the target from outside the box.
But it was Dumbarton who netted with first-half minutes ebbing away. Docherty, whose young son was the Sons' mascot for this game, collected the ball on the left hand-side and his centre was turned into his own net by the unfortunate Watson.
Heffernan's low drive off the inside of the post for Dumbarton and Shankland's shot that cracked the crossbar meant the second half got off to a blistering start.
Sons' forward Fleming went one better than that pair, though, sending a lovely right-footed half-volley into the top left corner of Jamie Langfield's net to put the home side ahead.
Fleming's 11th goal of the season looked like it could be the one that preserved their spell in the second tier of Scottish football.
Buchanan needed to be on his toes to clear a trundling Gallagher shot off the line as Dumbarton's nervousness increased, but the Sons coped to ensure Fleming's beauty would steal the show.
Super League leaders Wigan will host neighbours Widnes while Hull FC will have to travel to France to face Catalan Dragons.
The only non-Super League team left in the competition Sheffield Eagles will host London Broncos.
The games will be played between 12-15 July.
Two of the games will be screened live on BBC Two over the weekend of 13 and 14 July.
The final will be at Wembley on Saturday 24 August.
Warrington are seeking a fourth Wembley triumph in five seasons and in Huddersfield they face the side who they beat in the 2009 decider and who claimed an impressive win over Grand Final winners Leeds to reach the last eight.
Warrington's former Huddersfield coach Tony Smith was happy to avoid a cup trip to Catalan for a second successive year.
The Wolves won 32-22 in the quarter-finals in Perpignan last May but Smith appreciates how tough the Dragons are on home soil.
"The tough draw would have been Catalan at Catalan but Huddersfield will provide good, hard opposition," Smith said. "We've got a healthy respect for the Giants."
Wigan are the most successful side in the competition with 18 wins and will be bidding for a Cup double after Wigan Athletic's win in the FA Cup.
Sheffield coach and chief executive Mark Aston, who was man of the match when the Eagles stunned Wigan to win the Cup at Wembley in 1998, admitted he could not have been happier with the draw.
"We wanted either one of the top clubs away or London or Widnes at home and I'd say we're happy with how it's turned out," Aston said.
"It would be massive for us to get to the semi-finals and we're capable of it. We're at home and we know how to play at home."
The tie will almost certainly be played at Don Valley Stadium, which is due to close at the end of the year.
"It's a great way to close the stadium," Aston added.
This year's final will be the 71st at Wembley since the old Empire Stadium first hosted rugby league's big day out in the capital in 1929.
The 20-year-old fired in the opener from outside the box after 26 minutes, before the Buddies twice struck the woodwork.
Morgan doubled his side's lead three minutes into the second half with a curling effort into the bottom corner.
And former Ross County midfielder Ian McShane's first St Mirren goal sealed the win with 12 minutes to play.
Jack Ross' men join United and Queen of the South on nine points, and sit third in the Championship table, while the Terrors' inferior goal difference means they drop to fourth.

Earlier, Libya's embattled government proposed that parliament go into recess after voting on this year's budget.
The government accuses renegade general Khalifa Haftar of planning a coup, a charge he denies.
Fighters allied with Gen Haftar attacked the parliamentary building in the capital, Tripoli, on Sunday.
His militia, the "Libyan National Army", called for the suspension of parliament.
Gen Haftar accuses Islamists of taking control of Libya, and says his offensive is aimed at flushing them out.
Secular parties won elections in 2012 for a 200-member General National Assembly.
Many here have seen the infighting between political parties and their growing ideological rifts as the root cause of Libya's instability.
Although a new election for parliament may not be the long-term answer, it is likely to calm the simmering tensions on the street for now.
However, the underlying political discord and competing visions for Libya will not melt away. That needs dialogue, strategy and compromise.
Libya's armed groups and political parties are long believed to have used each other to further their agendas. Unless powerful militias lay down their arms, the country's future elected body may find itself drawn into a similar game.
It was the first election since the overthrow of long-serving ruler Col Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
However, the country has remained unstable with rival militias fighting for power.
The planned new constitution remains unwritten and the country has had three prime ministers since March.
On Friday, Gen Haftar's militia launched a major air-and-ground attack against Islamist militants in Benghazi.
The government condemned the attack and declared a no-fly zone in the city, threatening to shoot down any military aircraft.
At least 70 people died in the fighting.
The government insists it remains in control, but as the security situation worsened, Saudi Arabia closed its embassy in Tripoli on Monday.
Algeria closed its embassy and consulate in Tripoli on Friday, saying its diplomats faced a "real and imminent threat".
French oil firm Total has also cut its presence in Tripoli to a minimum, a spokesman told Reuters news agency.
The seasonally-adjusted data from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) show that 106,480 homes were sold during the month.
It is the third month in a row that sales of more than 100,000 were recorded.
The total is still well below monthly sales of nearly 150,000 seen during the housing boom in 2006.
The latest official figures showed that UK house prices rose by 5.2% in the year to the end of July. This is well above the level of prices in general, with CPI inflation standing at zero in August.
"Despite rising prices, buyers and sellers are able to transact," said housing commentator Henry Pryor.
"Look out for the increasing impact of cash buyers in the months to come.
"Figures from mortgage lenders suggest that around 40% of all homes today are bought without a mortgage leaving the government unable to dampen house prices as they once did - by raising rates.
"As we saw last December, the chancellor now reaches for other levers to control the excesses of the market. He had almost snuffed out the top end of the market with huge changes made to Stamp Duty Land Tax, making buying the most expensive homes very unattractive."
Peter Rollings, chief executive of Marsh & Parsons estate agents, suggested that rising demand matched with a lack of supply would result in house prices continuing to increase, particularly in London.
The new team include racing driver Sabine Schmitz, actor Matt Le Blanc and BBC 2 DJ Chris Evans.
The presenters replace Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond who left the show last year.
The revamped show featured the profile of a supercar and a head-to-head challenge between the presenters.
Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc drove Reliant three-wheelers from London to Blackpool, whilst actor Jesse Eisenberg and chef Gordon Ramsay tackled the Top Gear track.
The relaunch was watched by an average of 4.4 million people, according to viewing figures.
New host Chris Evans had earlier said he would be "disappointed" with anything fewer than five million viewers for the show's first episode.
The final Top Gear featuring former host Jeremy Clarkson attracted 5.3 million viewers last June.
We asked you to tell us what you thought of the revamped show and the new presenters.
This chat page is now closed. Thanks for all your comments.
I thought the new Top Gear was as good as the old one especially with Matt Le Blanc, because when he was in the epic Nomad he really knew how to make people laugh!
Matthew, 9, Kent
I think the 1st episode of the new Top Gear was pretty good. The new presenters have adapted the previous format to make it a car show of their own. At the moment I haven't decided who my favourite presenter is as it is still early days. I like the rally cross track for the stars in the brand new rally cross car because it is a new way to test the Stars' driving ability and it looks lots of fun. At the moment, I still think Clarkson, Hammond and May are better but after the new presenters have spent more time together, I think that they will be as fun to watch.
Bradley, 12, Gainsborough
I think that the new Top Gear isn't as great as it was and Chris needs a bit more practice on how to do things, though it was nice to have Matt on the show.
Rick, 12, Milton Keynes
I think that it's not that good because it doesn't have Jeremy Clarkson.
Archie and Basil, 10 and 7, Basingstoke
I think that the new top gear is boring.
Ben, 15, Penrith
I think the only good bit about top gear was the land rover series 1. Also they didn't roll the robin reliant over.
Ryan, 13, Milton Keynes
We think it was rubbish.
Emma, 9, Hertfordshire
FLOP GEAR!
Harriet, 10, Oxfordshire
It was really good, I really enjoyed it!
Indi, 12, Lincoln
Worst show I've ever seen. No new ideas. It's like they echoed Jeremy Clarkson.
Dottie, 12, Kent
I haven't seen it but I don't want to because I liked the old one.
Sarah, 8, Liverpool
I don't like the new gang. I like the old gang and I want them to be on the show!!!!!
Ilya, 8, Cambridge
Omg amazed.

According to a study in The Lancet, nearly a quarter of female prisoners cut, scratch or poison themselves.
Self-harm was also found to be a strong risk factor for suicide in prison, particularly among men.
Experts say more should be done to reduce self-harm rates in prisons.
The Oxford research team looked at self-harm incidents in all prisons in England and Wales between 2004 and 2009.
It found that 5% to 6% of male prisoners and 20% to 24% of female prisoners deliberately harmed themselves every year, resulting in 20,000 to 25,000 incidents per year.
This compared with a 0.6% rate among the UK's general population.
Repeated self-harming was common, the study said, and a small group of 102 women inmates self-harmed more than 100 times a year.
Cutting and scratching were the most frequent methods of self-harming in men and women, followed by poisoning and overdosing.
The study also examined those at greatest risk of self-harm. In female prisoners, being younger than 20 years old, white, in a mixed local prison, or serving a life sentence were major factors.
In male prisoners, those at risk tended to be young, white, in a high-security prison and with a life sentence or unsentenced.
Prisoners who self-harmed were found to be at "substantially greater" risk of suicide than other inmates, particularly among men.
Older male prisoners (aged 30 to 49) with a history of serious self-harm were most at risk.
Dr Seena Fazel, joint study author from the department of psychiatry at the University of Oxford, said all prisoners who are self-harming should be regarded as a risk.
"Now we know the extent to which the risk of subsequent suicide in prisoners who self-harm is greater than the general population, suicide prevention initiatives should be changed to include a focus on prisoners who are self-harming, especially repeatedly."
Writing in a Comment article in The Lancet, Dr Andrew Forrester from King's College London, and Dr Karen Slade from Nottingham Trent University call for more research to address how the self-harm rate in prisons in England and Wales can be reduced.
"The available evidence indicates a key role for multi-agency collaboration, in which suicide is everyone's concern, rather than being the sole preserve of healthcare staff.
"We need to invest in the wide inclusion of all people who, on the ground, can listen to prisoners who are experiencing distress, mobilise concern, and help to deliver joined up care."
Andy Bell, deputy chief executive at the Centre for Mental Health, said it was well known that women in prison were more likely to have depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder which, in turn, can make them extremely vulnerable.
He added it was important to be aware of those at risk at an early stage.
"Women should have access to mental health support and advice at every police station. It should start when they are arrested, particularly if there are signs of self-harming or poor mental health. We have to intervene early to stop the journey."
The Wikimedia Foundation co-founder, Jimmy Wales, said it would be the first office outside the United States.
He told the Indian website, CIOL, that no location had been chosen yet, but the office would open within several months.
Mr Wales said the operation would initially consist of two to four people and serve the local community.
"For Wikimedia, going multilingual and sharing content for all the languages is the way forward," he said.
Europe and Africa had been considered as possible locations. But Europe was already highly developed and there were concerns about the technical capabilities in Africa, he said.
"India was in the middle of the two extremes," said Mr Wales. "It is a growth region and I also like the enthusiasm in the country."
Wikipedia has more than 91,000 active contributors working in more than 270 languages, according to the Wikipedia website.
Barry Newstead, the chief global development officer, said there was "a general commitment to free knowledge in India".
"We hope to support Indians to realise the vision of a world in which every single person can freely share in the sum of all knowledge," he said in e-mailed comments.
Since its creation in 2001, the free-to-access website has grown rapidly. It attracts nearly 78 millions visitors a month, according to its own figures.
Nottingham Sea Cadets said the youngsters were asked for a photograph but were not aware of who the men were.
Pictures then appeared online with Britain First claiming it was a "Protect the Poppy" day of action.
The Sea Cadets said it does not support the party and asked for the pictures to be removed.
The pictures were published on Britain First's website and Facebook as part of its campaign to keep vendors "safe".
The Nottingham branch of the Sea Cadets responded on Facebook saying: "Please rest assured we do not support Britain First. The cadets were approached by these [men] and asked for a photo."
The national charity said it was an "apolitical organisation, open to all faiths and none."
The comment drew support from hundreds of people on social media, with many branding Britain First as "racist" and "creepy" for posing with youngsters.
Pictures of other young poppy sellers in different parts of the country were also published.
Sea Cadets UK said Britain First has yet to respond to its request to take down the photographs.
The BBC has attempted to contact Britain First but it has failed to respond.
On its website it said: "Britain First held a national day of action where our activists stood guard over poppy sellers around the country amking [sic] sure they were safe."
The political party was formed by ex British National Party members and its policies include halting immigration, offering grants to tempt "those of foreign descent" to leave the UK and withdrawing from the EU.
Spaniard Rahm, the world number 11, and Im, from the United States, ranked 542, lie 17 under par, one ahead of Benjamin Hebert, with Hideto Tanihara 15 under.
Olympic champion Justin Rose remains in contention four shots off the lead.
Frenchman Julien Quesne and Scott Hend of Australia made best use of the sun-drenched conditions by equalling the course record with eight-under-par 64s.
Quesne carded nine birdies and Hend an eagle and six birdies in a blemish-free round to move into the upper echelons of the leaderboard by matching the best rounds of the tournament so far.
Quesne is fifth on 14 under, while Hend is one shot worse off, along with Rose, Oliver Fisher and New Zealander Ryan Fox.
Rank outsiders Im and France's Hebert, 254 in the world rankings, were joint leaders after both day one and day two - and the pair remain firmly in contention, long putts for par on the 18th securing rounds of 68 and 69 respectively.
Im is aiming to become the first American winner of the Irish Open since Hubert Green triumphed at Portmarnock in 1977.
"I played pretty solid and although I picked up a shot at the first, I didn't feel like I made too many birdies compared to the first two days," said Im, who began the week 114th in the Race to Dubai standings.
"Two good putts at the last two holes helped me to a 68 - the weather was great, there were lots of people out supporting me and I enjoyed every moment."
Rahm negotiated the first 10 holes of his third round in one under par but four birdies from the 11th to the 14th helped propel him up the leaderboard and a round of 67 as he bids for a first European Tour success.
"Staying patient was key to my round as I knew I was playing well, even though the putts were not dropping in the early part of my round," said Rahm, who is hoping to emulate the achievement of compatriots Seve Ballesteros, Jose-Maria Olazabal and Sergio Garcia, who are all past winners of this event.
"I just tried to keep hitting the fairways and finding the greens and eventually the putts were going to go in. The energy generated by the crowd means a lot, I just have to try and make some birdies on the front nine."
Im, Hebert, Quesne, Fisher, Fox and Bradley Dredge are among those well placed to land one of three Open places on offer for players who finish in the top 10 and have not already qualified for Royal Birkdale.
Three-time major champion Padraig Harrington is best of the Irish contingent after Saturday's action, while 2012 winner Jamie Donaldson was forced to pull out of the final two rounds with a pulled muscle in his back.
The tournament forms part of the prestigious new Rolex Series of events, boasting a prize fund of £5.4m, with £585,000 for the winner.
The 15-year-old victim, a French holidaymaker, was attacked on Monday while snorkelling a few metres from the shore at Saint-Paul on the west coast, local officials say.
It is the second fatal shark attack near the island so far this year.
Previous fatalities have been surfers attacked further offshore, AFP news agency reports.
It said the girl had travelled from mainland France to visit her father in Reunion. She was swimming with another girl when the attack took place.
Fire and rescue services and a police helicopter are being used to search for body parts, public safety director Gina Hoarau told AFP.
According to local paper Le Journal de l'Ile de la Reunion, authorities had warned the public to be vigilant a few days ago, noting an increase in shark sightings.
Ms Hoarau described the circumstances of Monday's attack as "surprising".
The A303 is the shortest route from London and the South East to the South West, but it is known for its "notorious" congestion black spots.
The government announced in June it would carry out a feasibility study and it has now published its "scoping document".
By Neil GallacherBBC South West Business Correspondent
Firmer proposals for the A303 should be known by the end of the summer.
However, the expectation is that no decisions will be taken this side of a General Election - and in any case public funding is obviously more limited than in years gone by.
The scheme will also be competing with other potential road schemes, so it won't be a quick process.
It has, however, ruled out large-scale road building in the Blackdown Hills - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The A303 is 92 miles (148km) long and runs through five counties - Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, and Devon.
One possibility could be to bring incoming traffic down a widened A303 as far as Ilminster and then send it north on the A358 - the road that joins the M5 at Taunton.
Although there will be no major road building in the Blackdowns, local councils still hope the Department for Transport may include strategically placed overtaking lanes on the hills.
Sewell will appear alongside Tim Key and Paul Ritter in Matthew Warchus's production, which comes 20 years on from the play's London premiere.
Art - a comic drama about three friends who fall out over a painting - runs from 10 December to 18 February.
Albert Finney, Ken Stott and Sir Tom Courtenay were in its first UK staging.
Warchus also directed that inaugural production, which came two years on from the play's 1994 premiere in Paris.
Thanks in part to regular cast changes, the original West End production ran for eight years.
Sewell can be seen as Queen Victoria's first prime minister in ITV's dramatisation of her early years as monarch.
The 48-year-old was previously seen on stage in the first productions of Arcadia and Rock 'n' Roll, both by Sir Tom Stoppard.
Key is known for playing Alan Partridge's sidekick in Midmorning Matters and for his Late Night Poetry Programme on BBC Radio 4.
Ritter, whose theatre credits include playing John Major in The Audience, will soon be seen in Inferno, the latest film to be adapted from Dan Brown's best-selling Robert Langdon series.

There was massive social media outrage after a video they made of the incident went viral in India.
The dog was found alive, injured and unable to walk but still wagging her tail, animal rights activist Shravan Krishnan told the BBC.
The fact that the students have already been released has also caused anger.
"Those criminals have come out on BAIL. This is how 'strong' the animal welfare laws are. With video evidence and so much of public outrage we couldn't remand them even for one day . We are extremely disappointed and it's a 'Black Day' for Animal Welfare in India," Mr Krishnan posted on his Facebook page.
However, the laws they have been charged under carry a maximum jail term of two years for "maiming or injuring" an animal.
The men were identified as students of the Madha medical college by other students after social media users had shared the video across networks in an attempt to find them.
The Humane Society of India also offered 100,000 rupees ($1,480; £1,146) as reward for anyone able to identify them.
Animal activists also filed a complaint with the Chennai police, who went to the college to look for them.
The two had left the city and returned to their hometown, 600km (372 miles) from Chennai, as outrage intensified, but Mr Krishnan said that their parents had agreed to hand them over to the police.
He said they had decided to name the dog "Bhadra" which translates from the Hindi as "blessed".
"She was terrified, cowering under a stairwell and urinated when I picked her up. But what broke my heart was that she was still wagging her tail," he said.
Those found in breach of animal cruelty laws in India only face a maximum fine of about 100 rupees ($1.48; £1.14).
Activists are petitioning for stricter penalties.
The Hamilton Academical manager believes it would not only help officials but would prevent incorrect decisions proving costly for clubs.
"I know they do it in tennis, where you can challenge a decision," he said.
"Maybe it's a good idea and it would stop that if you could maybe have one challenge a half."
In Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Hearts at Tynecastle, there were three penalty claim incidents that may have benefitted from a system that could instantly review a decision.
The Accies managers believes the three decisions were wrong. A Shaun Want challenge on Hearts' Sam Nicholson led to a penalty being awarded to Hearts, from which they scored.
Tony Watt was booked for diving when he was tripped in the box by Want and Accies' Dougie Imrie had a claim for a penalty overlooked after going down in a challenge with Igor Rossi.
"It definitely wasn't a penalty, but the one previous with Tony Watt was a penalty, but I also think again, the one with Dougie Imrie, there was contact in the box, but it's another one that goes against us," said Canning.
"Hopefully, over the course of a season, they even themselves out.
"I don't know how you would go about putting that into football. It seems, for me, it's all very well for the referee to say 'sorry I got it wrong' and apologise, or get a phone call through the week saying I made a bad decision there.
"Could we not do something about it, in the moment, at the time, as opposed to waiting until through the week to get that apology?
"It could maybe save you points, especially now at our level and higher when there is so much at stake to go and stay in the league and compete and finish as high up the league as you can.
"Things like that can cost you points. So, if there is a way to stop that within a game, it would be good to explore."
At a time when the Scottish Professional Football League and the broadcasters are now installing additional cameras at games to enhance the coverage, the Accies boss says now may be the time to introduce such a measure.
Canning admits he finds it difficult to tell whether players are diving more now than in previous years.
"I don't know if it's that or if the game is quicker now," he said.
"The players are going at a speed, unless you've played the game, it's difficult to understand when you are going that quick how much contact can actually put you off balance and bring you down - it doesn't need a lot.
"You could maybe see that with Dougie Imrie's one on Saturday as well.
"If you and me are standing here and I gave you a wee nudge, you wouldn't fall over, but if we are at full speed and gave you the same nudge, you'd probably fall, not because you're diving, it's just because you're going at a speed and you're not in full control."
The new race, set up after the successful Tour de France Grand Depart in Yorkshire last July, started in Bridlington and ended in Scarborough.
"Yorkshire did us proud," said race organiser Gary Verity. "They turned out in their tens of thousands.
"The police estimate over a quarter of a million people over the whole day."
Mr Verity, chief executive of tourism body Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "The only race that gets crowds like this is the Tour de France which is a testament to the people of Yorkshire - again they nailed it."
The benefit to Yorkshire's economy from hosting the Tour de France last year was estimated at about £100m.
This year, Mr Verity is predicting something in the region of £30m-£40m will be generated for the regional economy by the Tour de Yorkshire.
"We are organising a race because there is a big demand for it," he said.
"In 10 years' time, maybe people will love it less, maybe they will love it more. We would love to be sat here in 50 years' time discussing the 50th edition.
"From the point of view of Yorkshire and growing the economy here and the culture of cycling, this has to be a successful event."
Stage Two of the three-day event saw the riders tackle a 174km route from Selby to York on Saturday, with the event set to finish on Sunday after a 167km ride from Wakefield to Leeds via Barnsley.
The 31-year-old, who has four caps for the All Blacks, was most recently with Western Force in Super Rugby.
"Alby has vast experience so we're looking forward to welcoming him into our environment," head coach Mark Tainton told the club website.
"He's a good communicator and has performed consistently at the highest level during his career."
But there is something missing from these global rankings of institutions. An entire continent.
You can look through the lists of the top 100 universities and not find a single African institution.
There are US and European universities, plus a growing number from countries such as China and South Korea. But Africa is conspicuous by its absence.
Globalisation in universities is often wrapped in a feel-good language of international partnerships and money-spinning global networks.
It is seductively easy to get lost in the achievements of these illustrious, prize-laden institutions. But what if global competition concentrates all the power and prestige in an increasingly narrow group of mega universities? What happens if it leaves a whole continent out of the loop?
There are 4.5 million students in sub-Saharan Africa, according to the Unesco Institute for Statistics. In terms of higher education league tables, these students are more or less invisible.
But this number represents a huge increase. In 1970 there were only 200,000 students in this vast geographical region. The proportion of young people going to university has climbed from 1% to 6%.
Within this average there are wide differences. In Malawi, only about 0.5% of young people will enter higher education, in Cameroon the level is 9%.
There are also different trends for studying overseas. In sub-Saharan Africa, the two most likely destinations are South Africa and France. North African students also go to France in large numbers.
Also running against all the international trends is that in Africa women are less likely to go to university than men, by a considerable margin. In Chad, a country bigger than the UK, France and Germany put together, only 0.6% of women enrol in higher education.
Even the rise in student numbers is double edged. A report from the World Bank says the growth in enrolments is outstripping the financial capacity of universities to provide staff and facilities. It adds to the pressure on an underfunded system.
Thandika Mkandawire, professor of African Development at the London School of Economics, says African universities are still trying to recover from a loss of funding that began in the 1980s, when resources were switched to primary education.
In the post-colonial eras of the 1960s and 1970s universities grew across Africa, he says. But that came to an abrupt halt. And while other parts of the world invested in higher education, African universities missed out on an entire cycle of growth.
"Once you destroy a university, it's very difficult to rebuild," he says.
It might be difficult to play catch-up after so many "lost years", but Professor Mkandawire says that a new middle class in Africa is putting the demand for better universities back on the political agenda.
There is also a growing recognition that universities are part of building a modern economy.
"Universities are places of upward social mobility," says Jo Beall, deputy vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Town in South Africa, the only African university to appear in the global top 200.
They are places where individuals and communities try to improve their life chances.
"There is a huge appetite for learning," she says. But there is a "heartbreaking" uphill struggle for students wanting to go to university in some poorer parts of Africa.
She describes visiting a central African university where the approach roads were lined by people operating photocopying machines, run on car batteries, copying 1950s text books for students.
Students might have to travel three or four hours each day to get to university. Lecture halls are so overfilled that there are security guards and gates to control the rush.
Professor Beall, who is joining the British Council this summer, says she remains optimistic about the future of African higher education.
There are universities working to become high-performing research institutions.
But there will need to be changes - including greater recognition of the importance of academics and partnerships with international universities.
The weakness of Africa's universities is not only about a lack of money, says Philip Altbach, director of the Center for International Higher Education at Boston College in the US.
He says there have been "multiple dysfunctions", not least of which have been political instability and corruption.
African universities have missed out on many of the trends in recent decades which have boosted universities in other parts of the world.
The lucrative market in overseas students has not brought students to Africa. Instead there has been a "brain drain" with Africa's scholars moving abroad.
US and UK universities have invested in branch campuses in Asia and the Middle East rather than Africa.
And Africa, with extremes of wealth and poverty, has lacked the type of expanding middle class that has helped to drive the growth in higher education in countries such as China and India.
As well as financial investment, he says there need to be cultural changes, such as protecting academic freedom, to create the conditions in which universities can develop.
But there is no escaping the scale of the financial gap.
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has set up a faith foundation which works with a network of universities around the world, including in the US and Africa.
He points out that Yale is not just much wealthier than a university such as Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone - Yale's endowment is several times greater than the GDP of the entire country.
Ruth Turner, chief executive of the foundation, says the scale of the gap is not just about economics - it needs to be considered in moral terms.
"We all live in a globalised world. But we lack a vocabulary for an ethical way of looking at it. How do we ask is it a right thing to do?"
In a global market, the odds can seem stacked in favour of the big players. It is the corner shop against the chain store.
The top universities are "global institutions, they can attract the best staff, they have links with business, they extend beyond their location", said Keith Herrmann, who is working on a Commonwealth-supported project to make Uganda's universities more attractive to students in east and southern Africa.
In contrast, he says that for many universities in Africa, without such links and leverage, the "benefits of globalisation are elusive".
"Universities are vital, fundamental to getting skilled individuals, it's crucial to economic development," he says, but many African universities are missing out on the upward cycle of more investment, more research and attracting more international students.
But there are signs of hope. "There is a change, it's becoming much more open, there is less repression," said Professor Mkandawire.
He says there is a recognition that switching investment away from universities had been a mistake, which was now being reversed.
"There are islands of good performance emerging," he said. But he warned that progress was going to take many years of hard work.
Since the airport opened to commercial flights on 31 May 1946, more than 20 million flights have taken off, taking two billion passengers around the world.
New York, Dublin and Dubai have been the most commonly visited cities from the airport.
Retired bricklayer David Arloff and two friends sent the party cheques for £3 to become registered supporters.
But the cheques were returned with a letter explaining they could only pay online by credit or debit card.
Mr Arloff said the men "haven't got computers and we are not au fait with the internet".
The 72-year-old, from Stevenage, in Hertfordshire, said: "We are being denied the right to partake in this vote because we are not young and up and coming. It is ageism.
"There are people bragging that they are Conservatives and they are getting two or three votes, but genuine left-wing people like us are being denied the the opportunity.
"I am not a member of the London Federation of Anarchists or the Socialist Workers Party.
"I am just a former Labour Party member who wants to have a say."
He added: "There must be hundreds of people like us. I bet if I sent a cheque for a £100 as a donation, they wouldn't send it back."
The Labour Party does accept cheques from people who want to be full members, which costs £46.50 a year.
But a party spokeswoman said they did not accept cheques from people wanting to become registered supporters, because it was a new process.
She added: "We want the widest number of supporters to have their say in Labour's leadership contest.
"To apply for a ballot paper through the new registered supporters scheme there were a number of ways supporters could have donated their £3 including, using a debit or credit card to pay over the telephone, online or by completing and returning a paper form or via text message.
"Out of the 120,000 people who applied to be a register supporter, less than 50 attempted to do so via cheque."
Mr Arloff and his friends, aged 78 and 80, had sent their cheques on 5 August, but the letter from the party had arrived after Friday, 15 August's registration deadline, he told BBC News, so even if they had wanted to pay over the telephone they would not have been able to.
Mr Arloff said he had left the Labour Party during the Blair years and had voted Conservative at this year's general election to send the party a message.
He been planning to vote for the veteran left-winger Jeremy Corbyn in the leadership contest, he added.
Dean Farley said he was only aware that he had collided with Mr Cameron an hour after he had been arrested by police.
He insisted he was "not particularly political" and was just going out on his daily lunchtime jog to the gym when he ran into a "bunch of men in suits".
Mr Cameron has downplayed the incident, now the subject of a police review.
Mr Cameron was quickly driven away from the scene after the encounter outside the Civic Hall in Leeds.
West Yorkshire Police said "nothing sinister" had taken place but the Metropolitan Police, which provides personal security for the prime minister, said there would be a review of the incident.
The prime minister was in Leeds to launch government plans to upgrade rail links in the north of England.
A member of Mr Cameron's security team intervened as a man appeared to dart towards the prime minister. Officers then bundled the man away as the prime minister got into a waiting vehicle.
Mr Farley later revealed himself to be the man at the centre of the incident, saying he was not a protester and was totally unaware the prime minister was visiting the city.
"I didn't see David Cameron. I didn't know it was David Cameron until they let me out of the police van an hour later," Mr Farley, who was eventually released without charge, said.
The 28-year old said he was on the way to his local gym for a session with his personal trainer when he crossed the road outside the council building.
"All I saw were a group of men in suits who came out of the Civic Hall."
He added: "It begs the question - how good is Cameron's security if I managed to run between it before they stopped me?"
Mr Farley, who was carrying a towel but no ID at the time, said it had been "harrowing" to find himself "harangued and manhandled" by police and not being told why he had been arrested.
"I'm quite shook up. I was almost in shock, like I'd been in an accident or something."
The media reaction to the incident had been "insane", he said, adding that many of his friends wanted to buy him a drink and he could see the "funny side".
"I kind of wish I had been protesting something or I had had something to say", he added.
Following the incident, Chief Inspector Derek Hughes of West Yorkshire Police said: ''Around midday, a 28-year-old local man was briefly arrested after he came close to the prime minister's group who had just left the Civic Hall in Leeds.
''No threats were made, and after the man's details were checked, he was de-arrested and allowed on his way.''
The BBC's Tom Symonds said a member of Mr Cameron's party told him the prime minister stepped back as the man ran towards him and was not in contact with him.
The prime minister's close security is generally provided by officers from SO1 Specialist Protection, part of the Metropolitan Police's Protection Command.
Labour MP Keith Vaz said he would be "astonished" if there was not a review of procedures.
"It could have ended in a completely different scenario," he told Sky News, adding that Mr Farley's actions had caused a "great deal of concern".
But former Met officer Peter Power said that although "questions would be asked" about the incident, it was "not catastrophic" and was unlikely to lead to major changes.
He told BBC News that the fact that the man had been taken away so quickly showed the police response "worked reasonably well".
But former Deputy Prime Minister Lord Prescott, who punched a protester during the 2001 general election campaign after being hit by an egg, said the episode proved that security around top politicians needed to be "tightened up".
And speaking during a parliamentary statement on last week's EU summit, Mr Cameron jokingly made reference to the so-called "Prescott punch".
"I was actually in a meeting in Leeds speaking to a group of city leaders and other politicians and John Prescott was in the room as I gave the speech," he told MPs.
"And as I left the room I thought the moment of maximum danger had probably passed but clearly that wasn't the case."
Mr Cameron said he wanted to put on record the "debt" he owed to those who protect him on a daily basis, saying they did a "very good job".
It comes less than a week after a man threw a bag of marbles at the glass screen which separates the public from MPs in the House of Commons.
That incident took place during Prime Minister's Questions.
Martina Anderson brought defamation proceedings against Mr Paisley over an interview he gave about the closure of a County Antrim cigarette factory.
The case was due to be heard in the High Court in Belfast, but the judge was told the dispute has been settled.
Mr Paisley will donate to the Pink Ladies cancer charity in Londonderry.
Ms Anderson's defamation action began after she took part in a radio interview with him in October 2014, about the closure of Gallahers cigarette factory in Ballymena.
Hundreds of jobs losses had just been announced at the plant, which was one of the biggest employers in Mr Paisley's North Antrim constituency,
No details of the libel dispute were disclosed in court on Monday and neither Mr Paisley nor Ms Anderson attending the hearing.
However, the Sinn Féin MEP's solicitor, Padraig O Muirigh, said: "The claim was settled in Martina Anderson's favour.
"Costs are being paid by the defendant to include a payment to the Pink Ladies cancer charity in Derry."

Her response came during questioning from Labour's Kezia Dugdale and the Lib Dem's Willie Rennie.
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson described as a "scandal" new figures showing a drop in literacy levels in Scotland's schools.
First Minister's Questions took place a week before UK voters go to the polls to choose their next MP.
The half-hour weekly question and answer session began with Ms Dugdale accusing the SNP of being obsessed with the constitution.
She called on Ms Sturgeon to repeat her assertion that last year's referendum - in which 55% of voters in Scotland rejected independence - was a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
Ms Dugdale said: "The promise was that the referendum was a once-in-a-lifetime event. That no matter how we voted as a nation we would get back to dealing with the really important issues.
"Like the fact that the reading levels of kids of all ages in Scotland have declined in the last two years.
"Like the fact that next to no progress has been made to close the gap between those in the poorest and wealthiest backgrounds in our schools.
"The first minister has all this power at her disposal but what is it for if it's not to transform the the lives of working-class kids?"
However, Ms Sturgeon said that if the people of Scotland wanted a referendum to be a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity", that is what it would be.
She added: "This is desperate, last-throw-of-the-dice stuff from Scottish Labour. Talk about a party in its death throes.
"The desperate scaremongering over full fiscal autonomy clearly hasn't made any impact, although actually that's not true, it has made an impact on the polls: the SNP poll rating has gone up.
"Given that it hasn't helped Scottish Labour, they're now resorting to desperate scaremongering about a referendum that nobody is proposing."
What are the top issues for each political party at the 2015 general election?
Policy guide: Where the parties stand
Continuing with the referendum question, Mr Rennie challenged the first minister to rule out a vote in the next term of the Scottish Parliament.
He said: "This is the neverendum that we warned about. We saw the consequences of the whole machinery of government being focused on the referendum for the last three years.
"The NHS and the police bear witness to that problem, and in Quebec, we have seen the long period of political uncertainty and the economic consequences of that.
"That's why people are concerned about this. They are concerned on the doorsteps."
Ms Sturgeon responded by saying that the people in Scotland were in charge.
She added: "What people are saying to me on the streets and doorsteps of Scotland is not about another referendum, their concerns are about the cuts that his (Mr Rennie's) party, hand in hand with the Tories, have imposed over the past five years."

Kezia Dugdale (Labour deputy leader) persisted, once more. Ms Sturgeon owed it to voters right now, she argued, to indicate the direction of travel with regard to a possible referendum. The First Minister insisted once more that this UK General Election was not about independence, not about a referendum, not about a mandate for a referendum.
Ms Dugdale persisted, once more. Jim Sillars, the former Deputy Leader of the SNP, had said that a referendum must be in the first line of the party's 2016 manifesto. Ms Sturgeon said the key word was "former". She was the current leader.
Undeterred, Willie Rennie of the Liberal Democrats pursued the same topic - while deliberately eschewing stagecraft. The FM could, he said, make a statement "right here" ruling out the inclusion of a referendum in next year's manifesto.
Perhaps it was his demeanour, perhaps it was because he isn't Labour, but the FM appeared to give a more detailed answer - without giving any ground.
There would have to be some change to prevailing circumstances. Otherwise there would be no proposal for a further referendum. If proposed, folk would have to endorse the party proposing it in an election. Even then, there would be a parliamentary process before such a referendum could proceed.

Earlier, former deputy leader of the SNP Jim Sillars predicted the party would propose another independence referendum in its manifesto for re-election to Holyrood next year.
Ms Sturgeon said she had great respect for Mr Sillars but she was leader of the party and this election was not about Scottish independence.
In other exchanges Ms Davidson highlighted falling literacy levels.
She said: "On the campaign each party is rightly talking about opportunities for our young people.
"The best way to increase opportunity is through a good education.
"And yet we find yesterday that literacy skills in our schools are getting worse not better."
Ms Davidson added: "I know that the Scottish government yesterday hastily put together a press release filled with action plans and improvement frameworks for this, but does the first minister really think this is adequate to tackle what is becoming a crisis in school standards?"
Ms Sturgeon said the results were not good enough and she was determined to improve them.

Laura MacIntyre, from Barra, suffered serious injuries in the blast which killed her friend Eilidh MacLeod.
Her family said she was a strong-willed girl who would continue to battle.
Eilidh's parents had earlier confirmed she was one of 22 people to have died, saying: "Our family is devastated."
Laura's family said in a statement their "hearts and minds" had been with Eilidh's family since they heard the news.
They added: "Our daughter Laura is a funny and witty young girl who excels in everything she does.
"Laura and her friend Eilidh were so looking forward to the concert, but that night has now ended in tragedy where Eilidh has lost her life and Laura is in a critical condition.
"We want to thank everybody for their support including the emergency services for all that they have done and all they continue to do.
"We know that Laura is in the best possible place and is receiving the best care that she can."
Eilidh and Laura, pupils at Castlebay Community School, were among thousands of people who had attended a show by US singer Ariana Grande.
Eilidh's parents said: "Our family is devastated and words cannot express how we feel at losing our darling Eilidh.
"Eilidh was vivacious and full of fun. She loved all music whether it was listening to Ariana or playing the bagpipes with her pipe band.
"As a family we would like to express our thanks and gratitude for the support and kind messages we have received at this difficult time."
A minute's silence was held at 11:00 across Scotland to remember the victims of the attack.
A crowdfunding page set up to help the girls' families, originally set at £2,000, has raised more than £26,000.
The girls were accompanied on their trip to Manchester by family members. Their parents flew to the city following the attack.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon told the Scottish Parliament that support would be in place on Barra for anyone who needs it, and for as long as it is needed.
Ms Sturgeon said the death of Eilidh and the "horrific" injuries suffered by Laura would be felt in a way that was "much, much more intense" in the close-knit island community.
She said Scottish government officials had contacted Comhairle nan Eilean Siar - Western Isles Council - to see what further assistance they could offer.
The council's education director, who is an educational psychologist, is already on Barra, and will be joined later on Thursday by a further educational psychologist and an NHS clinical psychologist.
Ms Sturgeon said: "Between them they are going to be focusing on the support that the families and those who were closest to these two girls will need.
"Their aim will be to keep things as normal as possible for the school that the girls attended, but to make sure that there is the support in place for young people who are going to need it."
The first minister also pledged that support would be available "not just today, next week or next month, but for as long as it is needed".
And she expressed her "anger and disbelief" at leaks to the media in the US of sensitive intelligence about the Manchester attack investigation, which Ms Sturgeon said was "completely unacceptable and cannot be defended".
The BBC understands that police investigating the attack have stopped sharing information with the US in order to prevent further leaks.
Other party leaders also paid their respects to the victims of the attack during the subdued session of first minister's questions.
Police Scotland, which has sent extra officers to Barra, said at least 41 people from Scotland were at the Manchester Arena during the suicide attack.
Troops have been deployed at Ministry of Defence and civil nuclear sites across Scotland to free up armed officers after the UK's terror threat level was raised to critical.
But Chief Constable Phil Gormley said there was currently "no foreseeable prospect" of Police Scotland asking for soldiers to publicly patrol in Scotland, as they are doing in some areas of England.
Mr Gormley said security arrangements around upcoming events such as the Scottish Cup Final, the visit to Scotland of former US president Barack Obama, the Edinburgh Marathon and the Lisbon Lions memorial events in Glasgow had been reviewed to ensure they were "fit for purpose".
But he said he was confident the force had "sufficient firearms capability to meet all foreseeable threats and demands going forward".
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar confirmed that additional support had already been made available to staff and pupils at Castlebay Community School, where the girls were pupils.
A comhairle spokesman said; "We are continuing to closely monitor events. We are mindful of the impact on pupils and staff at the school and are providing all necessary support."
On Wednesday the head teacher at the school, Annag Maclean, said staff and pupils were "in shock, feeling numb and struggling to come to terms" with a "violent attack targeted at young people". She said all their thoughts were with Laura and Eilidh and their families.
The local authority said it was also having discussions with the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) regarding the exceptional circumstances for pupils sitting exams in the coming week.
The Bishop of Argyll and the Isles, Bishop Brian McGee, has travelled to Barra to visit the school and to offer support to Laura and Eilidh's families.
The Church of Scotland's Rev Dr Lindsay Schluter, minister for Barra and South Uist congregations, has also offered support.

The 24-year-old claimed his first European indoor title in a time of 7.51 seconds.
France's defending champion Pascal Martinot-Lagarde took silver, with Czech Petr Svoboda in third.
"It was a scrappy race so I really had to work hard to get back after a slow start but I'm really happy," Pozzi told BBC Sport.
Pozzi, who qualified fastest for the final, trailed out of the blocks before surging back to edge out Martinot-Lagarde by 0.01secs.
"At halfway I thought 'I'm not losing this one' and just gave everything and gave a big dip on the line," he said.
"It was closer than I would've liked but I got there in the end."
In winning Great Britain's first gold medal of the championships, Pozzi also became the first Briton to win the men's 60m hurdles title since the last of Colin Jackson's three victories in 2002.
"Forget the time, he's got the title," said BBC Sport pundit Jackson, who holds the world record at the event of 7.30 seconds.
"He fought his way through and showed he is a true champion, that is the most important thing. He will be full of confidence, relieved and happy."
Germany's Cindy Roleder won gold in the women's 60m hurdles final, ahead of Alina Talay of Belarus and compatriot Pamela Dutkiewicz.
After pulling up with a hamstring injury at the London 2012 Olympics, Pozzi endured several years of chronic foot injuries, having had several operations on both feet.
He missed out on qualifying for the Rio 2016 110m hurdles final but has been in impressive form this year, running a personal best indoor time of 7.43 seconds at the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix in February.
"It has been a long old road and I wasn't sure I'd ever get to the level I wanted to be at so to win with grit and determination, I'm over the moon," he said.
"This is the first championships I've come into with a good amount of work behind me and I felt really confident - to feel like I'm starting to get there means everything, it makes it worth it."

What Andy has done there is simply sublime - it wasn't the best technical race but he showed that his mindset is so strong
He was determined, he knew exactly what he needed to do and he delivered.
Sometimes you're not always in the best condition so it's about that winning mentality and knowing what to do when it counts.
He had to be more aggressive than he would've hoped to have been because we normally see him so silky smooth over the hurdles.
That was grit, determination and wanting that medal more than anything in the world and the ripple effect it could have on the rest of the British team is massive.

The privilege was granted in 1989 to all who worked on a computer for more than five hours a day.
However, Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, speaking on Greek TV, said the custom "belonged to another era",
The decision comes as part of the government's reform of the public sector in a bid to meet bailout terms.
Greece received two bailouts from the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) totalling about 240bn euros (£200bn; $318bn) on the condition that the government imposes cuts and implements restructuring.
The working hours saved by scrapping the computer leave would be the equivalent of an extra 5,000 employees, Mr Mitsotakis told Skai TV on Thursday.
He described it as "small, yet symbolic" step in modernising an outdated civil service. Mr Mitsotakis is the man in charge of overhauling public institutions.
Other perks that have already been scrapped include a bonus for showing up to work and passing on a dead father's pension to his unmarried daughters.
In July, the Greek parliament approved plans to reform the public sector, placing up to 25,000 public sector workers into a mobility pool by the end of the year, when they will either face redeployment or redundancy.
The Greek economy has shrunk further than any other in Europe, with an unemployment rate of 27%.
They will give young people the right to demand social networks delete any personal data they had shared prior to turning 18.
The Queen said the UK would retain its "world-class" data protection regime.
The proposed Data Protection Bill will reflect plans described in the Conservative Party manifesto ahead of the general election in June.
In a document further detailing its plans, the government said its key priorities were:
The government also said it would implement the General Data Protection Regulation - new EU data protection rules due to come into force in 2018.
It said the new UK bill would ensure the country met its obligations while a member of the EU, and would help the UK maintain its "ability to share data with other EU members states and internationally after we leave the EU".
The new bill will replace the Data Protection Act 1998.
Responding to the speech, a spokesman for the technology industry trade body techUK said: "We support the government's commitment to maintain the UK's world-class protection of people's personal data. This will include implementing the General Data Protection Regulation, the biggest transformation of data protection rules in a generation."
The announcement was also welcomed by Nick Taylor, managing director at business consultancy Accenture Strategy.
"This new data protection law is the news that many companies have been waiting for to accelerate their GDPR programme and make it a concrete part of their business," he said.
"Companies now have certainty that they will have to comply with tougher rules, and this gives them the incentive, and need to get their GDPR programme right."
A pontoon barge supporting The City of Adelaide was towed from the Scottish Maritime Museum at Irvine on Friday.
The ship has been there since it was salvaged in 1992, after sinking the previous year in Glasgow's River Clyde.
The Adelaide was built in Sunderland in 1864. Its new Australian owners are having it towed to London, where a cargo ship will take it to Adelaide.
The planned start of the journey had been delayed from last week following adverse weather conditions in Ayrshire.
The pontoon supporting The Adelaide is now being towed out into the Irish Sea.
Over the next seven to 10 days, it will travel round the tip of Cornwall and up into the River Thames.
The historic clipper will then be loaded onto a cargo ship for its final journey to Australia.
The City of Adelaide was built on the River Wear to carry people emigrating to southern Australia.
In 1893 it became a hospital ship, but in 1924 was converted into a training ship at Irvine, and renamed HMS Carrick.
In 1991 the ship sank at the Princes Dock, Glasgow, and lay on the bottom of the River Clyde for a year before being raised and taken to Irvine.
For years, it lay rotting on a slipway at the Scottish Maritime Museum, with the cost of repairs put in excess of ??10m.
A rescue campaign mounted by rival consortiums from Adelaide and Sunderland saw the Australian group win the bid for ownership.
It formally took control of the Adelaide two weeks ago.
The visitors added 143 runs before lunch as Ross Whiteley hit 45 off 36 balls, before declaring on 324-8.
Set 454 to win, Worcestershire's New Zealand paceman Matt Henry claimed 5-36 as Northants were bowled out for 142.
Joe Leach also chipped in with 2-49 to become the leading wicket-taker in either division with 38 victims.
Henry's first five-wicket haul of the season came in his final game for Worcestershire, with South African fast bowler Kyle Abbott set to replace him.
Worcestershire debutant George Rhodes, who hit an unbeaten 31 earlier in the day, also took his maiden first-class wicket when he had Ben Sanderson caught behind.
Despite Essex having a game in hand, back-to-back four-day victories for Worcestershire have seen them emerge as one of the main challengers for the single promotion spot.
Steve Rhodes' side, who now hold a 17-point advantage over third-placed Kent, travel to Chelmsford at the end of August.
Northamptonshire, who have struggled with the bat throughout the season, are still looking for their first Championship win of 2016.
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"We are in the promotion race. I'm very proud of the guys here this week. They've got points to prove and want to play for each other. Our approach and attitude was outstanding.
"Our running between the wickets and ground fielding was testament to where some of the lads are in their careers.
"We showed great character to come back from 54-5 on the first morning. We showed we can bat all the way down and dominated the game from that first afternoon onwards.
"Matt Henry has been an outstanding member of the dressing room. He's bowled well this year and not quite got the rewards - but here he has."
West had seemed about to repeat his infamous Taylor Swift moment, when he stormed the VMAs stage in 2009.
However in a rant on E! afterwards he said he decided to smile and sit down out of consideration for his daughter.
The rapper also said he thought Beck "should've given his award to Beyonce."
"I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more," he told E! After Party, as he was interviewed alongside wife Kim Kardashian.
"And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyonce."
West went on to say that he and other artists were "tired" of being disrespected by the Grammys.
"Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration.
"And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place."
West's stance echoed the 2009 VMAs, when he stormed on stage as Taylor Swift was accepting her award, to say he thought Beyonce should have won.
Beck took the stage invasion in his stride, beckoning West towards the microphone.
He later and later told Us Weekly: "I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody.
"How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?
"I still love him and think he's genius. I aspire to do what he does."
Many Grammys commentators initially thought West's brief appearance next to Beck had been a joke.
However, the rapper said it was out of consideration for his daughter, North and his wife that he had decided not to speak.
"I'm not going to do nothing to put my daughter at risk, but I am here to fight for creativity," he said.
"That's the reason why I didn't say anything tonight, but you all know what it meant when Ye [referring to himself] walked out on that stage!"
West had performed his track Only One during the ceremony, as well as appearing with Sir Paul McCartney and Rihanna for a performance of their collaboration FourFiveSeconds.
Beck won two Grammys including album of the year for Morning Phase, beating Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams and Sam Smith as well as Beyonce in that category.
Beck revealed to Billboard at Saturday night's pre-Grammys party that he was not expecting a trophy.
"It would be a surprise with this record, honestly. I've been in that category before, and it's usually something that's very definitive of the time."
Speaking after the show, he reiterated: "I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyonce!"
In the final event, Beyonce won three awards, while Sam Smith was the evening's big winner with four. See our list of key winners and our full story for more.
Footage is then shown of an attack before the words "Guilty or Not Guilty? You Decide…" flash up on screen alongside a website address.
The verdict is overwhelmingly guilty and the man is killed by lethal injection while the camera is running.
This vigilante justice is handed out by a gang called Tuko Macho, which is Swahili for "we are watching".
It is also the name of a hugely successful fictional web series in Kenya which, with the help of social media, has attracted tens of thousands of viewers and been nominated for an award at the Toronto Film Festival.
"I really wondered what a Kenyan superhero would look like, especially a purposeful one like Batman," says Jim Chuchu, the director of Tuko Macho.
"I feel like Nairobi is such a Gotham City sometimes ‒ we have our own version of all these super-villains. They don't wear costumes but they are equally crazy and get away with much worse."
The show became an instant hit.
As the story unfolds and more criminals are kidnapped by the gang, more fictional votes are cast ‒ the creators even involve the audience by asking them to cast votes in real life.
The second case featured a hit-and-run involving a preacher ‒ a woman accused of killing someone in her car and leaving the scene.
Again it was put to the vote in the TV show, and again the verdict was guilty.
Mr Chuchu is aware of the parallels between his series and life in Kenya.
"There are so many people who are known to be in the drugs business and have been for years, but nothing ever happens," he says.
"There are people who have murdered, there are people who have stolen billions of shillings and they are just walking around the streets or running for office.
"You get the idea that court, and police and jail is some kind of performance and it only plays out on people of a certain social status ‒ if you're rich enough, if you're powerful enough all these rules don't apply to you."
For decades in Kenya there have been extra-judicial killings by police, but these appear to have increased under the umbrella of counter-terrorism.
"Many times the response of the public to these kinds of extra-judicial killings has been congratulatory," says John-Allan Namu, an investigative journalist with Africa Uncensored.
His investigation into attacks on street traders was used as one of the cases in Tuko Macho.
"It's something that has appealed to the Kenyan populace for sometime even though it is completely abhorrent and completely wrong, so that's why I think there's something to draw from in Tuko Macho."
But the problem of impunity, which emerges with a large amount of extra-judicial killings, has come to the fore recently with the death of human rights lawyer Willie Kimani.
He was killed along with a taxi driver and his client, who was in the process of making a complaint to the courts over police brutality.
Four officers have been charged with murder.
"When Willie Kimani died it hit home, for once, with a segment of the population that never really was affected by extra-judicial killings: middle class, professionals, people who really wouldn't have a reason to be a target of the police," says John-Allan Namu.
"I've seen a bit more reflection about why the police are using these means, and therefore whenever something like this happens there's more attention on it and we start to discuss it more openly."
The web-series Tuko Macho explores some of the reasons why the main protagonist decides to take vigilante action ‒ a sense of failure within the judicial system.
"People need to ask themselves would they trust the courts to deliver justice for them and if not why?" asks assistant director George Gachara.
"In the programme we are very clear about the failures of vigilantism ‒ it's a conversation."
He is also a member of The Nest, an arts collective in Nairobi, which produced the show.
"Among the questions in our heads was how does art and creative work start speaking to society, citizenship and our own identity within Nairobi, Kenya and Africa?"
During the raids on 7-8 May and 8-9 May 1941 more than 400 people were killed in the East Yorkshire port.
In all 1,200 were killed, 3,000 injured and more than 150,000 were made homeless by German raids on the city.
A service has been held at Holy Trinity Church and a book about the attacks has been launched.
The book written by a local author, mixes fact and fiction with any profits going to the Hull People's Memorial fund.
Hull suffered numerous air raids because it was a port, easy to find, and German aircraft flew over it to reach other targets such as Sheffield, Liverpool or Manchester.
Alan Bingham, of the Hull People's Memorial, said: "I think it is extremely important to remember the people who lived through the blitz and who survived.
"They have lived through the nightmares for the rest of their lives. Some of the sights they have seen must have been truly horrendous."

The Rev Canon Dr Neal Barnes, Vicar of Holy Trinity Church, said: "The city was really traumatised and we wanted to help the people to remember."
The service in the church included popular songs from WW2 to "get into the mood that helped Hull get through those dark days", he added.
Other events and exhibitions to mark the blitz are being held over the weekend.
"If the export continues the animals will be decimated," a government official has told the BBC.
China imports many donkey hides, using the gelatin in medicinal tonics, aphrodisiacs and anti-ageing creams.
In August, neighbouring Burkina Faso banned the export of donkey skins on similar grounds.
"About 80,000 donkeys have been exported so far this year compared to 27,000 last year," Atte Issa, at Niger's livestock ministry, said.
The government has also banned the slaughter of any donkeys within Niger.
The BBC's Baro Arzika in Niger's capital, Niamey, says the trade in donkeys has become so profitable that livestock sellers are abandoning other animals for the donkey trade.
A donkey now costs between $100 (£75) and $145, when it used to cost about $34.
A similar price hike in donkey skin was witnessed in Burkina Faso where the animal's hide rose from about $4 (£3) a few years ago to $50.
In both countries donkeys are commonly used to transport goods, though some communities eat their meat.
The ban was issued through a joint decree by Niger's ministries of farming, finance and internal affairs and trade.
Gelatin made from donkey skin is highly prized in China as a medicinal tonic, thought to nourish the blood, boost the immune system and act as a general pick-me-up. It is sometimes referred to as one of the "three nourishing treasures" (zi bu san bao), along with ginseng and the antlers of young deer.
The most famous donkey gelatin is produced in Dong'e County in north-eastern Shandong Province, where it is traditionally made with the local well-water.
Donkey gelatin is sometimes mixed with walnuts, goji berries and other tonic foods and sold in dark, gummy slabs that can be eaten as a snack.
Health and longevity is a Chinese national obsession, and tonic foods like this are often lavishly packaged and presented as expensive gifts.
Aside from gelatin, donkey meat is a delicacy in some Chinese regions, especially in the north of the country.
Here, the lean meat is often simmered in a richly-spiced broth, and then cooled, sliced and served with a refreshing dip of chopped garlic and vinegar. The meat has a fine, dense texture and a marvellous flavour that's a little reminiscent of beef.
In northern Hebei province, one famous snack is the lu rou huo shao, in which chopped, spiced donkey meat is mixed with fresh green chilli and stuffed into a layered pastry - its name is sometimes translated into English as a "donkey burger".
Donkey meat may also be made into soups and stews.
As the Chinese middle classes have grown richer, demand for donkey gelatin and other tonic delicacies has soared - in January the New York Times reported that a shortage of donkey gelatin had encouraged a boom in imitation products.
Williams swapped the oval ball for the round one at Donegal's Glenswilly GAA club on Thursday, in what could kindly be described as tough conditions.
His appearance was part of Irish broadcaster RTÉ's The Toughest Trade.
The TV series explores the lives of GAA athletes and how they compare to their professional counterparts across the world.
Glenswilly chairman Eddie Crawford described Williams as a "lovely lad".
"Sometimes you don't' know what to expect but he was a real sound genuine lad," Mr Crawford told the BBC.
"He bedded in well and took to it like a duck to water.
"We played him up front because he's fast and he's a very determined person."
Despite nearing his 40th birthday, Eddie Crawford said the winger certainly didn't look out of place.
"We weren't going easy on him, he was doing strength and conditioning at 6am in the morning and he did everything we did.
"Overall he was very pleased and happy, he's a country lad from outside Swansea.
"I think he was tired after a hectic week but he enjoyed the experience and said he would come back to Donegal. We made him very welcome," added Mr Crawford.
Before the encounter, Williams told RTE that he expected a physical challenge.
"I'm not coming in with any expectation that it will be easy, that's for sure," he said.
"I know that it's a physical sport and a highly skilled one, so I expect that I'm in for a hard time, and that's exciting too.
"I want the boys to make it as hard as possible for me, so I can know what I'm capable of," he said.
Although he was faced with a blizzard at St Mary's, Williams chipped in with four points to help his teammates defeat rivals Convoy.
After the match, Glenswilly GAA praised the Welsh wizard's for an impressive debut.
Shane Williams remains Wales' all time leading try scorer with 58 tries in 91 appearances before quitting international rugby in 2011.
County Donegal and Glenswilly captain Michael Murphy will now travel to France to test his skills with Top 14 rugby outfit Clermont Auvergne.
Karin Williams from Rhoose, Vale of Glamorgan, was injured along with five children and three adults outside Rhws Primary School in July 2013.
On Wednesday, she was presented with a Royal Humane Society bronze medal for her actions.
The driver of the car was found guilty of careless driving in May 2014.
Faye Chamberlain will then hold the More than a Game exhibition at Newport's Dragon Park.
The six-month project with the Football Association of Wales Trust, which has received funding from Arts Council of Wales, starts ahead of of the Euros.
The social documentary photographer said she wanted to show another side to Welsh football.
"The people of Wales' focus might be on Gareth Bale, Chris Coleman and the games, but I want to show a side to Welsh football that is just as important," she said.
"I'm a huge football fan so to work on this project is so exciting."
The aim of the project is to highlight the indirect impact the sport makes on people's lives.
As she travels around Wales taking photos she will also be hosting photography workshops in selected communities.
Nick Capaldi, chief executive of Arts Council of Wales, said: "Sports and the arts alike bring real benefits to individuals and make significant and positive contributions to many aspects of our lives.
"We look forward to seeing some of the stories of the devotion and passion of football supporters and participants in community groups across Wales being captured on camera."
Alongside this, Wrexham Museum have three weeks to complete their sport exhibition and are calling on members of the public for help.
To end their exhibition, the museum is looking for digital photographs of the crowds, banners and celebratory images alike.
Organiser Jonathan Gammond, who is working with author Philip Stead and founder of the Welsh Football Collection, Ceri Stennett, to illustrate the tournament.
Fans are asked to send their digital photographs to [email protected], telling them where the photograph was taken, which game it was at, when it was, who is in it and who took the photograph.
The photographs will either appear in the exhibition, used to promote the exhibition or be archived as part of the Welsh Football Collection for future displays and research.
Police and the ambulance service were called to the incident at about 18:10 on Saturday.
They found the man critically injured and he was taken to Kirkcaldy's Victoria Infirmary, where he died later.
Police said they were pursuing a "positive line of inquiry" but appealed to anyone with information about the incident to get in touch.
Ch Insp Steven Hamilton said: "Our inquiries are at an early stage but we believe this to have been an isolated incident and the wider community need not be alarmed.
"We would ask anyone who has information that can assist us to please get in touch.
"There will be high-visibility patrols in the area to provide community reassurance and members of the public are encouraged to speak to an officer."
The 19-year-old suffered the injury during Tuesday's 5-1 home loss to Charlton Athletic in League One.
The Chelsea loanee, who has made six league starts for Rovers so far this term, was taken to hospital after the game for treatment.
"A bad night got terribly worse," boss Darrell Clarke told BBC Radio Bristol.
"It looks like a fractured arm. It's very disappointing, especially with James Clarke out as well, so we have a couple of centre-halves missing."
Palomeque, 18, did not take part in the men's heats after a urine sample tested positive for testosterone.
The IOC has carried out more than 5,000 drugs tests during the Olympics and Palomeque is one of 11 athletes to be excluded from the Games as a result.
He has stated that the result was caused by him injecting himself with a homeopathic product that he believed included no banned substances.
The International Olympic Committee have wiped Palomeque from all London 2012 records.
The 2011 South American 200m champion provided the sample on his arrival in London on 26 July and was initially banned on a temporary basis.
Palomeque's coach Raul Diaz Quejada told an IOC disciplinary commission hearing that he had injected Palomeque with the homeopathic product on five occasions during July to aid his recovery from a hamstring problem.
But the IOC has said it doubts those injections were the cause of the failed test.
"Professor Christiane Ayotte, scientific expert, confirmed that, based on the composition mentioned on the packaging of the product, which does not mention testosterone as an ingredient, and due to the description of the product as homeopathic (i.e. using very diluted concentrations of its ingredients), such product is unlikely to have caused the adverse analytical finding," an IOC statement read.
The IOC have asked Columbian officials to look at the case and consider sanctions and will pass Palomeque's file to athletics governing body, the International Association of Athletics Federations.
While Hong Kong's students continue their protests and stumbling negotiations with the territory's authorities, democracy activists from around the world, some of whom have helped their struggle, gather together.
The Oslo Freedom Forum is one of the biggest meetings of human rights activists in the world, and this year its rather surreal proceedings have a different tension, as activists trying to take on Beijing's actions in Hong Kong seek to hold their ground.
Activists are furious at what they see as Beijing's proposals to fix the election of Hong Kong's next chief executive.
However, far from being impromptu demonstrations, it is an open secret at this meeting in Norway that plans were hatched in Hong Kong for the demonstrations nearly two years ago.
The ideas was to use non-violent action as a "weapon of mass destruction" to challenge the Chinese government.
Organisers prepared a plan to persuade 10,000 people on to the streets, to occupy roads in central Hong Kong, back in January 2013.
They believed that China's moves to control the Hong Kong election would provide a flashpoint where civil disobedience could be effective, and planned accordingly.
Their strategies were not just to plan the timing and nature of the demonstrations, but also how they would be run.
BBC Newsnight has been told that some leading protestors received advice and materials from Western activists to help them train as many as 1,000 of those who would later be involved in the demonstrations
Yang Jianli, a Chinese academic, was part of the protests in Tiananmen Square 25 years ago.
He has been talking to the Hong Kong students on a daily basis.
He says that the students are better organised than the Tiananmen protesters ever were, with clearer, more effective structures for their action and clearer goals about what they are trying to achieve.
But he adds that responsibility for what happens next is not just down to the protesters themselves, not just down to other democracy activists like those gathered here in Oslo, but to the rest of the world.
Jamila Raqib, the executive director of the Albert Einstein Institution based near Boston, which analyses and distributes studies on non-violent struggle, says it is clear that protesters have been trained how to behave during a protest.
"How to keep ranks, how to speak to police, how to manage their own movement, how to use marshals in their movement, people who are specially trained.
"It was also how to behave when arrested - practical things like the need for food and water, movement can last longer when people are taken care of, and also how to manage a water cannon being used against you, and other types of police violence."
In a statement Occupy Central with Love and Peace (OCLP) said none of its members had attended the Oslo Freedom Forum or received "any specific training" from the organisations mentioned in this report.
OCLP said it had openly held "non-violent protest" workshops in Hong Kong but these were "wholly organized by OCLP, without any support or intervention from foreign organisations."
It also said the "inititiators" of OCLP had never been in contact with Yang Jianli, nor had OCLP been in contact with Jamila Raqib.
Protests don't always work.
Srdja Popovic, one of the student leaders involved in overthrowing Slobodan Milosevic, was another of the protest veterans in Oslo.
He has since trained activists in 40 countries, but he says the techniques of non-violent action that he advocates have led to successful and lasting change in only six or seven countries.
He argues that there is more need than ever for the methods of organisation and leadership to be shared.
He says that after the 20th Century military race, "what we are seeing now is a new world race - now it is 'can the good guys learn as well as the bad guys?'."
Mr Popovic has not had any involvement with the Hong Kong protests, but says whether in Georgia, Ukraine, Egypt or Hong Kong "you can look at these movements - and see the set of rules".
"You have to understand the rules of the non-military battlefield."
His work in Oslo, along with the writings of the American human rights activist, Gene Sharp, is in high demand.
There is something incongruous about the Oslo meeting - seeing Chinese dissidents, American computer hackers, activists from Africa, the Middle East and Russia trade information over champagne and canapés.
Like any conference, a good deal of the work is done after hours, even if it is schmoozing for democracy.
Two members of Russian opposition female punk group Pussy Riot, members of which were put in jail by President Putin, are here too.
They say they want to "make personal contacts" and meet others doing similar human rights work.
What this event shows is that struggles for democracy or human rights in the 21st Century rarely happen in isolation.
Activists, whether those on the streets of Hong Kong right now, or from other parts of the world, are sharing information and insights faster than ever before.
30 October: Correction
This article has been amended after an earlier version may have given the impression that the Hong Kong pro-democracy protests were planned by foreign activists. The amended version makes clear that the planning for the Hong Kong demonstrations was carried out in Hong Kong, with support from abroad. It includes a statement from Occupy Central with Love and Peace (OCLP), saying that none of its members had attended the Oslo Freedom Forum or received "any specific training" from the organisations mentioned in this report. The amended article also makes clear that Mr Popovic has not had any involvement with the Hong Kong protests.
The Glasgow-based financial mutual said sales rose by 33% to £33.9m in 2016.
It attributed the increase to improved sales of protection products and greater demand for investment ISAs.
Scottish Friendly said protection sales jumped by 54%, thanks to partnerships with brands such as Beagle Street, Sun Life, Smart Insurance and British Seniors Insurance Agency.
Meanwhile, investment sales rose by 15%.
Scottish Friendly's new chief executive, Jim Galbraith, said: "2016 has been another fantastic year for Scottish Friendly, demonstrating the progress that a well-run mutual can make.
"Our strong sales have largely been led by white label outsourcing to key business partners and this is likely to continue as a growth area for us.
"The My ISA platform proposition developed in 2012 for our customers and business partners has also attracted healthy sales growth and we will add to this product suite in 2017 with our own approach to the Lifetime ISA being introduced from April."
He added: "Whilst Brexit has resulted in considerable volatility it has, of late, resulted in a strong surge in the UK stock market which has been great news for investors.
"Nonetheless, there is considerable uncertainty ahead as we approach notification of Article 50 and the US adjusts to a new presidency.
"While we are cautious about the prospects for 2017, we will carry on seeking out opportunities that will benefit our members and our partners and continue offering quality products and services."
The former Burnley full-back was in the right place to tap in substitute Dele Alli's fine low cross.
Spurs were always in control against a lacklustre Watford side, but were continually denied by their former goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.
The Hornets failed to record a shot on target and fall to 10th in the table.
Spurs were always well on top, having 26 efforts on goal, but lacked the killer touch until Alli came off the bench to continue his superb season and tee up Trippier for the winner.
Alli was left out after feeling unwell during the 3-0 win at Norwich in midweek but quickly made the difference for Mauricio Pochettino's side once more.
You would have been forgiven for thinking on Saturday morning that the Premier League title was a two-horse race, such was the focus on leaders Leicester's trip to Manchester City.
But Spurs, with just three league defeats all season and seven wins from their last nine games, have crept under the radar to move into a great position to fight for their first title since 1961.
They have not finished second since 1963 but now have a squad who look capable of pushing Leicester and Manchester City all the way.
Leicester's stunning lunchtime win meant Spurs kicked off in the knowledge that a win would put them second overnight.
And their win against the Hornets would have been secured far earlier had Gomes - who had an eventful six-year stay at White Hart Lane - not made eight saves.
Spurs may be five points behind the Foxes but with Leicester facing Arsenal next weekend, while Spurs take on City, that could soon change.
Pochettino rotated his full-backs. leaving out Danny Rose and Kyle Walker, with Ben Davies and Trippier starting instead.
And both players fully justified their selection with superb attacking displays, providing the width in a patient, but attacking display.
In the first half Davies was twice denied by Gomes' reflex saves, and Trippier - who made 10 crosses from right-back - popped up in space to grab the winner when Alli's cross with the outside of his boot picked him out at the far post.
For Watford it was largely a day to forget. A damaging run of four straight defeats was arrested at the end of January but there was no sign of a side who had held Chelsea in midweek.
Manager Quique Sanchez Flores chose to split up his 20-goal strike partnership of Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo, with Deeney tired after a gruelling run of games, but the change in system only served to leave Ighalo woefully isolated in the first half. Ighalo had the fewest touches (14) of any outfield player before Deeney came on at the break.
The captain's return made little difference though, as the Hornets ended the game without a single effort on target.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, speaking to BBC Sport: "I feel very proud of the players.
"We need to be calm. We are in a very good position in the league but the philosophy from the beginning of the season has been to go step by step. We are a very young squad so it is important to keep going and take every game and competition and be ready to compete.
"We still need to be more clinical, we created a lot of chances but need to score more."

Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores: "It was completely difficult. We expected a tough match. Tottenham play really quick, play intelligent balls, they have a lot of good players so it was very difficult to stop their attacks.
"Tottenham have improved since the last time we played. They have more confidence and they are one of the best teams. They have the chance to win the league.
"Playing against Chelsea and Tottenham in four days is too much. We did all the best we could but it was not enough."
Tottenham could put a gap between themselves and third-placed Manchester City with a win at the Etihad next Sunday, while Watford face a short trip to freefalling Crystal Palace.

Bob Frost, who represents the North Deal ward on Dover District Council, posted a tweet describing an encounter with the man on Sunday.
In it, he wrote he had told him to "f**k off back to Romania".
Opposition Labour councillors said the message was offensive, but Mr Frost said he was surprised by the response.
The full message, posted from his personal account, read: "Being ex Home Office I feel qualified to offer helpful free immigration advice. Just told local Big Issue seller to f**k off back to Romania."
Other Twitter users condemned the message, which was also reported to the council and local Conservative MP, Charlie Elphicke.
Labour group leader Mike Eddy said the tweet was "disgraceful" and showed Mr Frost was "unfit to represent the town".
"It's offensive, childish and possibly a crime as an incitement to racial hatred," he said.
"It's time for Bob to stand down, unless the local Tory leader thinks this kind of behaviour is acceptable."
Councillor Paul Watkins, the Conservative leader of Dover District Council, said the tweets were "embarrassing" and needed to be investigated.
"I've suspended him on the basis there is public concern and we've had complaints," he said.
In a statement, Mr Frost said: "I am somewhat surprised that the usual suspects, having been so supportive of the principle that Charlie Hebdo can make jokes about the Prophet Mohammed, find quips about EU benefit tourism somehow beyond the pale.
"This is no more likely to incite racial hatred than jokes about Polish plumbers or the German predisposition for reserving sun loungers.
"Labour Party members really should get a life (as well as some electable policies)."
He added that the local elections had seen him increase his share of votes by 18%.
In August 2011, Mr Frost was suspended from the Conservative group after using the phrase "jungle bunnies" in reference to the London riots.
More than 97% of voters in a referendum chose to remain as five states rather than form a single region, it said.
The vote was boycotted by major rebel and opposition groups which say a united region would have more autonomy.
The referendum was part of a peace process to end 13 years of conflict that has left 300,000 people dead.
Ahead of the vote, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on war crimes charges related to Darfur, said it would be a free and fair poll.
However, the US state department warned that the referendum could not be considered credible "under current rules and conditions".
The vote was held amid ongoing insecurity and many of Sudan's 2.5 million displaced people were not registered to vote.
The electoral commission said 3.08 million people out of 3.21 million eligible voters turned out for the referendum earlier this month.
Rebels have long sought more regional powers to end what they see as Khartoum's interference in land ownership conflicts.
They believe that the government's splitting of Darfur into three states in 1994, and then into five states, led to heavier control from Khartoum and helped to trigger the conflict that broke out in 2003.
Correspondents say the Sudanese government believes a unified Darfur would give the rebels a platform to push for independence just as South Sudan did successfully in 2011.
The ICC has indicted President Bashir on counts of genocide and war crimes committed in Darfur.
Mr Bashir - who has told the BBC he will step down as president in 2020 - has dismissed the ICC as a "political tribunal".
Cardiff suffered a fourth straight Championship loss for the first time since 2007 when they were beaten at home by Leeds on Saturday.
With the Bluebirds bottom of the table, Trollope is urging patience.
"I've received good support from the owner, chairman [Mehmet Dalman] and chief executive [Ken Choo]," he said.
"They know what we're trying to build and create.
"Of course there's a need for short-term results, we don't want to be in the league position we're in because it hurts.
"Patience is key, especially in the modern game, because everyone wants short-term results, I certainly do.
"It hurts me that we're not getting them."
The defeat by Leeds was Trollope's eighth league game in charge of Cardiff, having succeeded Russell Slade at the end of last 2015-16.
Even at this early stage of the campaign, however, the future of the former Bristol Rovers boss has been the subject of scrutiny.
Report: Cardiff City 0-2 Leeds United
Pilkington injury worry for Cardiff City
Bale injury worry for Wales
"The results are nowhere near acceptable, that's my responsibility, I know that," said Trollope.
"It's my responsibility to shape it and mould it and get the best out of people.
"I'm totally aware of that, but I also believe in how we work, that this will turn."
Leeds secured victory with an assured second-half display, though their opening goal came against the run of play after Cardiff had controlled the game before the interval.
The visitors were awarded a penalty when Bluebirds defender Matt Connolly tangled with Pontus Jansson at a corner and wrestled him to the ground.
Leeds manager Garry Monk said it was a "definite penalty" but, having seen players grapple each other from set-pieces throughout the game, Trollope felt the decision from referee Graham Scott was inconsistent.
"Probably the refereeing decision changed the game, which was frustrating for us because there was a lot going on at set-pieces at both ends," he said.
"There was a warning before. Listen, I'm not saying it wasn't a penalty, but if he's giving it then he could be giving a few at either end.
"That moment changed the game and meant we had to chase it in a different manner, we left ourselves a wee-bit open."
Speculation about Aguero's future intensified after he lost his place to 19-year-old Gabriel Jesus last month.
Manager Pep Guardiola says he wants to keep the 28-year-old but Aguero, who is contracted to the club until 2020, says he has not had any discussions about staying with City.
"It is one thing for the club to say it and another to tell me," he said.
Aguero has scored four goals in two games after reclaiming his place when Jesus suffered a broken foot that could rule him out for the season.
He scored twice in the 5-1 FA Cup fifth-round replay win over Huddersfield on Wednesday to take his tally for the season to 22. Guardiola described it as Aguero's "best performance of the season".
Aguero is third on City's all-time scoring records with 158, 20 behind Eric Brook, who is first, and eight adrift of second-placed Tommy Johnson.
The Argentina forward says he does not want to leave City, whom he joined from Atletico Madrid for £38m in 2011, but that it will be the summer before his future is resolved.
"I always said in June it will be seen," he said.
"The club can say what it wants but in June they will have to meet with me.
"My intention is to stay but it is a long way away. I have three months to give my best and hopefully we can achieve some title."
But what are they, why do people wear them, and why have they been banned?
Here's Newsround's guide to what's going on.
A burkini is a type of swimming costume that some Muslim women wear, which covers the arms, legs and hair.
To some Muslims, wearing clothes that cover these parts of the body is seen as a sign of modesty and of faith.
There are lots of different types of headscarves that Muslim women wear and some don't wear any.
A burkini is a version of these that can be used when swimming or on the beach.
It's called a burkini because it's a mix of the words 'burqa' - which is a type of Islamic clothing - and 'bikini'.
Some towns in France have banned women from wearing a burkini on public beaches or in the sea.
If they break the ban and wear one, they will have to pay a fine.
This is because in France religion is supposed to be completely separate from other parts of life in public.
This means that symbols of religion are banned in some public places.
Some politicians have now argued this should include the burkini.
Tensions have been high in France since a number of attacks by Islamist extremists and many people are arguing about the best way to respond as a country to what has happened.
Many people in France and in other countries think that it is not right to tell women what clothes they can and can't wear.
They say that it should be a choice whether to wear a burkini or not.
But others think that it is right for the burkini to be banned, as they say that it goes against the values and laws of France.
Some people also think that the burkini is a symbol of women's inequality to men in the Islamic religion.
The Telegraph's take is that it wasn't a great night for either the DUP's Arlene Foster or Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill who "suffered a night to forget".
It reports that Mrs Foster was "verbally bombarded" and "unable to land any blows".
Michelle O'Neill "interrupted too much without scoring any points", it adds.
The News Letter's Sam McBride also focuses on Mrs Foster's attack and defence, with the headline: "Assailed from every side, Foster turns on BBC audience".
He reports that Mrs Foster "sarcastically" said there was a "very balanced audience" in the studio.
Away from election news, The Irish News carries a story that will be music to the ears of X Factor fans; the show's 2014 runner up Fleur East will be performing at this year's St Patrick's Day festival in Custom House Square.
The Belfast Telegraph, however, has a less jovial take on the day with "fears of Holyland residents as students lay plans for huge outdoor party" in south Belfast.
It says two Facebook page events have been set up "calling for thousands to come to the area on 17 March".
The aim is to beat the world record for the biggest "Rock the Boat" party, which currently stands at 1,701.
Residents are not happy about this world record attempt, to say the least.
Ray Farley from the Holyland Regeneration association tells the Belfast Telegraph he's hoping nature will take care of the revellers saying "all we can do is pray for rain".
The Irish News leads with the tragic news of the death of a young GAA player from County Tyrone.
It reports that Triona McNabb from Dromore, who was in her 30s, died following an illness.
Her former club, Dromore Ladies' GFC, describes the young footballer as a "loving person with a heart of gold".
The News Letter and Belfast Telegraph both report on the court case of the millionaire who crashed his £150,000 Ferrari California T into two cars in Holywood, County Down, whilst twice over the legal drink-driving limit.
Christopher David Walsh attempted to use a so-called hip flask defence, in which his defence said he had consumed alcohol after the crash.
The judge, however, said this "failed spectacularly" and Mr Walsh was convicted of driving offences.
The Daily Mirror's front page tells the story of "drunken pupils starting fire at a formal".
The paper reports that staff at the Crowne Plaza in south Belfast had to call a halt to a school formal after management reportedly witnessed "several instances of inappropriate behaviour".
The paper quotes one of the students from the unnamed school as saying she felt "treated like a child" and argued that the hotel would have been better "just removing the students who were causing trouble".
The Belfast Telegraph, News Letter and Irish News all report some potentially good news for film buffs.
Despite that fact that - much to the distress of Game of Thrones fans - the eighth season of the hugely successful show will be its last, it's not all over for the Northern Ireland film industry.
NI Screen chief executive Richard Williams said the development of skills and infrastructure, as well as lower costs, should attract more large productions.
He said: "The idea that you could not sell the infrastructure and people and talent that produced that, I have absolutely no concern about our ability to sustain and build from the success of Game of Thrones."
Gavin Thomas, president of the Police Superintendents Association (PSA), said officers in charge of public protection should have a licence to do that job.
He called for national standards for training officers who protect people such as children and the elderly.
He will speak at the PSA's conference in Stratford-upon-Avon later.
Crimes such as domestic violence, child abuse and sexual exploitation are usually dealt with by police teams known as Public Protection Units.
These units are also responsible for finding missing people and monitoring sex offenders.
But a PSA report found almost half of those in charge of the units had no previous experience of public protection, and eight out of 10 had received no training or development for the role.
At the conference, Ch Supt Thomas will say: "We have standards, accreditation and skills to practice in firearms, public order and driving patrol cars.
"But currently there is no such requirement for protecting children and vulnerable people.
"Superintendents are carrying significant amounts of responsibility and must have the training and development to do their jobs effectively.
"It is a highly skilled specialism and should require a licence to practice."
He will also call for a common definition among all public services of what "vulnerable" means.
The 46-year-old father of three, who was a member of the UDA, was murdered outside his home on Sunningdale Gardens.
Among the mourners at the Moravian Church on the Oldpark Road was Andre Shoukri, one of his close associates.
Mr Boreland had survived a previous attempt on his life.
Police also warned him in recent months his life was under threat.
Whittingham, Cardiff's longest serving player having joined in 2007, has been asked to take a pay cut to remain at the club.
Morrison said the 32-year-old had not indicated whether he would sign a new contract to remain with the Bluebirds.
"It would be fantastic for Whitts to stay," Morrison said.
"He's been a great servant to the club and he's still a fantastic player. He loves the club."
The former England Under-21 international's half volley secured a 2-1 victory for Cardiff against Brentford after defender Morrison had earlier equalised for Neil Warnock's side.
Whittingham has made over 450 appearances for Cardiff, who he joined from Aston Villa in January 2007 and Morrison says he remains a key player.
"He's probably not played as much as he'd want to this year, coming into the second half of the season," Morrison added.
"But when he's come in he's been brilliant and his assists are something you can't buy in the Championship.
"He's a level above sometimes with his delivery and his passing and he calms the play down."
The visitors made the perfect start after Brennan Dickenson powered home a header from an Owen Garvan corner.
And it was 2-0 four minutes later, as Kurtis Guthrie scored from the penalty spot after being brought down by Stevenage goalkeeper Jamie Jones.
But Stevenage fought back with goals either side of the interval, Ben Kennedy finishing off a Steven Schumacher free-kick before Matt Godden broke clear to pick his spot and make it 2-2 on 50 minutes.
But with 10 minutes left Chris Porter stabbed the ball home from close range to put the visitors back in front.
And then in time added on, Porter found on-loan Reading midfielder Tarique Fosu-Henry who drilled the ball past a helpless Jones to seal the victory for the U's and keep them in the hunt for a play-off spot.

Revenue from trading fixed income, commodities and currencies was $1.16bn as the US increased interest rates and cut back on bond buying.
Total net revenues for the first half rose 12% to $15.91bn.
Separately, profits at rival Bank of America were boosted by tighter US interest rate policy.
Goldman posted profits of $1.83bn for the quarter, down from the $2.2bn reported in the first three months of 2017 and only slightly higher than the $1.82bn it reported for the same quarter last year.
Chief executive Lloyd Blankfein said the "mixed operating environment" continued into the second quarter. "Against that backdrop, we produced revenue growth and improved profitability for the first half of 2017, reflecting both the diversity and strength of our global businesses."
Goldman said it ranked first in worldwide mergers and acquisitions for the year-to-date and was also number one for issuing company shares. It got a critical boost from private equity investments.
But Goldman's commodities business had its worst quarter, continuing a slide that has previously alarmed investors.
"This is something that all of us are evaluating and making changes and working on," said Martin Chavez, the chief financial officer. "We know we need to do better."
Shares in Goldman fell 2.3% in New York to $223.84.
Goldman, one of Wall Street's most most famous financial institutions, escaped from the financial crisis relatively unscathed.
But its growth has been more limited in recent quarters, due partly to difficulties in its fixed income, currency and commodities unit.
Mr Chavez said demand from active investors had traditionally driven that business, but those companies have pulled back amid relatively low market fluctuation.
Active management firms are also under pressure as investors switch funds away from expensive stock-pickers to passive funds that track indexes such as the S&P 500.
Mr Chavez also said Goldman's own performance in commodities - a business many of its rivals have shifted away from in recent years - has been weak.
"We didn't navigate the market as well as we aspire to or as well as we have in the past," he said.
At Bank of America, net profit for the second quarter was $4.9bn, 11% higher than for the same period a year ago.
Much of the increase in profit was due to a rise in net interest income following a rise in US interest rates. The firm said growth in mobile banking - which has lower costs - has also helped its bottom line.
Bank of America chief executive Brian Moynihan said: "Against modest economic growth of 2%, we had one of the strongest quarters in our history." | The family of a 15-year-old girl from Scotland who is in a critical condition after the Manchester bomb attack have described her as "a fighter".

The anniversary on 25 April marks the first major World War One battle involving Australia and New Zealand.
Monsoons in Darwin had said the prize of A$1000 (£600; $750) would be donated to military charity Solider On.
But veterans organisation the Returned and Services League (RSL) described the event as "incredibly inappropriate".
After public anger, the bar said in a statement: "We apologise for our naive approach and lack of proper thought when organising our activities calendar."
In Australia, it is against the law to use the term Anzac to promote businesses and events without permission from the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Companies can be fined up to A$51,000 while individuals face up to 12 months in jail.
It was not the only accusation of disrespect on the important national occasion
A 32-year-old man was arrested and charged with offensive behaviour after shouting out anti-war comments during the one-minute's silence at a dawn service in Sydney.
TV presenter Yassmin Abdel-Magied apologised after a backlash against her Facebook post suggesting the day should be spent thinking about asylum seekers.
A string of venues in Sydney's famous LGBT entertainment district Oxford Street were also criticised for advertising events featuring scantily clad models in military clothing.
Meanwhile, a terror warning two weeks ago has been blamed for a low turnout at Gallipoli.
The site in Turkey where Anzac troops were engaged in conflict has become a place of pilgrimage for many Australians and News Zealanders.

Great Britain has never won a medal in table tennis at an Olympic Games - something which Bayley is sure would boost the sport's profile.
"Table tennis is one of those sports which needs a superstar," he said.
"In this country we don't yet have someone who will win an Olympic gold medal. If we had an Olympic superstar I think the sport would be massive."
He told BBC Radio Kent: "When it was big with the likes of Desmond Douglas it made a big difference. That is why the sport was getting a lot of recognition back then.
Will Bayley says he was affected by the crowd in his Paralympic singles final last year. However, he believes he has learnt from that experience.
"I try not to get too tense or think about the tactics I'm going to try and play," he told BBC Radio Kent. "The more majors you play, the more used to it you get.
"The only time when I have been scared was in the holding area in London ahead of the final.
"There was a ball girl that came up to me and said 'Will, there are 5,000 people waiting outside and everyone is watching on TV'.
"I thought 'Oh God - that's all I need to know. No pressure'.
"You learn from those sorts of experiences."
"If I'm being honest, I don't think the Paralympics has that effect on people yet, which is a shame."
However, the Tunbridge Wells player does insist that Paralympic table tennis is continuing to grow following the London Games a year ago.
"More people are watching and involved in Paralympic table tennis than before London," he said. "People's perceptions have changed, which is really good.
"We played an exhibition match in London recently and there were 5,000 people there. It shows people still want to come and watch, which is great.
"In the National Championships we had the biggest entry [field] ever.
"It shows more people are playing and wanting to play than ever before. We have got such a good, young team hopefully it can inspire many generations.
"London was a massive leap compared to Beijing. Every four years it will get bigger and bigger and mean the same to people [as the Olympics]. It is definitely catching up."
Bayley's next tournament is the European Championships, which being held in Italy this weekend.
German Jochen Wollmert, who beat Bayley in the Class 7 final in London last year, is among a strong field in Lignano but the Brit is the defending champion.
"I'm looking forward to doing my best and trying to win it again," he said.
"I can definitely beat him [Wollmert] but there are many players I have to beat first. There are seven or eight people who think they can win the tournament.
"I just want to focus on my first match and carry on from there. I know every match will be hard.
"I will take each match as it comes and fight for every point. Hopefully that will take me as far as I can go."
University of Wales Trinity Saint David plans to create a new "learning neighbourhood".
It has bought the land at the SA1 development, near to the city centre, which is owned by the Welsh Government.
The plans include purpose-built facilities for learning and teaching as well as social and recreational space.
Economy and Infrastructure Secretary Ken Skates described it as "the start of an exciting new phase in the university's development".
Adam Simmonds, 40, denies recklessly passing on details of a fraud probe involving Wellingborough MP Peter Bone.
The former Northamptonshire police and crime commissioner (PCC) is on trial at Southwark Crown Court.
The prosecution claimed he used the information to "aid the Conservative Party".
The court heard Mr Simmonds, of Northcote Road in Leicester, had conversations with Northamptonshire MPs Michael Ellis and Christopher Heaton-Harris about an investigation into fellow Conservative Mr Bone.
Christopher Foulkes, prosecuting, said Mr Simmonds had also spoken to former Wellingborough Borough Council leader Paul Bell and the then Northampton Borough Council leader David Mackintosh about the case.
The alleged offence is said to have taken place between November 2013 and May 2014.
Mr Simmonds, the court heard, was copied in on a number of emails from police officers investigating Mr Bone.
Mr Bone was being investigated over claims he was engaged in fraud involving the care of an elderly relative.
The case against Mr Bone and his wife, Jeanette, was dropped however by the Crown Prosecution Service in 2014.
Mr Foulkes told the court that during one conversation, with Paul Bell, Mr Simmonds had discussed "what would happen in the [Conservative] party should Mr Bone be prosecuted".
He said Mr Simmonds had asked Mr Bell if he would consider standing as MP for Wellingborough if that were to happen.
Mr Foulkes also told the jury about a conversation between Mr Simmonds and Mr Mackintosh.
Mr Mackintosh, who was then leader of Northampton Borough Council and who later became an MP himself, called it a "gossip conversation".
Mr Foulkes said Mr Simmonds had later told the Independent Police Complaints Commission he had been "wearing his political hat rather than his PCC hat" during the discussions.
Mark Harries, representing Mr Simmonds, said there was no dispute his client had received the emails or that the conversations had taken place.
He asked the jury to consider whether the disclosures had been made to "a wide and random selection of people or limited to trusted individuals".
The case continues.
The aim is to make Russia comply with the Minsk ceasefire accord signed with Ukraine in February, EU spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic tweeted.
EU and US sanctions target associates of President Vladimir Putin and Russian state banks, military and energy firms.
The ministers also launched a naval operation called EU Navfor Med, to track Mediterranean people smugglers.
Initially European warships will just monitor the smugglers' activities - focused on Libya - and alert national authorities. Military intervention to stop the migrant boats would require UN authorisation.
The EU foreign ministers extended the sanctions against Russia at a meeting in Luxembourg on Monday.
A statement said the decision was taken without debate in response to "Russia's destabilising role in eastern Ukraine".
Russia condemned the move, warning that it would respond reciprocally.
"Russia naturally considers these sanctions groundless, unlawful. And we have never been the initiators of the sanction measures," President Putin's press secretary was quoted as saying by Russia's Echo Mosvky radio station.
Meanwhile, US Defence Secretary Ash Carter, speaking during a visit to Berlin, Germany, said the sanctions were having an effect in countering Russia's "aggression" in Ukraine.
But he added: "We do not seek a cold, let alone a hot war with Russia.
"We do not seek to make Russia an enemy. But make no mistake: we will defend our allies, the rules-based international order, and the positive future it affords us. We will stand up to Russia's actions and their attempts to re-establish a Soviet-era sphere of influence."
EU sanctions were imposed on Russia after Moscow's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. They have been escalated because of Russia's role in the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Nato says hundreds of Russian tanks and armoured vehicles have gone into eastern Ukraine, along with regular Russian army soldiers.
Moscow denies direct involvement, but says some Russian volunteers are helping the separatist pro-Russian rebels.
Under the sanctions regime Russian state banks are excluded from raising long-term loans; exports of dual-use equipment for military use in Russia are banned; and future EU-Russia arms deals are banned.
There is an EU-US ban on exports of some oil industry technology and services, though gas remains unaffected.
The sanctions also target many senior officials in Russia and in the separatist leadership, including Crimean leaders, and organisations linked to them.
EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said the EU Navfor Med operation would initially involve "information-gathering and patrolling on the high seas to support the detection and monitoring of smuggling networks".
But she said the ultimate aim remained intercepting the boats and breaking up the smugglers' network.
"We've been working, both with our regional partners and the UN framework, to make sure that this can happen in the most reasonable time we can foresee."
Plans for the operation were agreed last month, as unprecedented numbers of migrants arriving by boat have put huge pressure on Italy and Greece.
The naval headquarters is in Rome under an Italian admiral.
The EU has pledged to crack down on the smuggling gangs. Many migrants come from Eritrea and Syria - and the EU considers them to be refugees in need of assistance.
But thousands more come from sub-Saharan Africa and Asian countries, many of them economic migrants escaping poverty.
Services had been running on one track at Appleby since the landslide two weeks ago, but have now been halted after further movement at Eden Brow.
Network Rail said it was no longer safe to run services as tracks had been left badly twisted.
Trains will run between Leeds and Appleby and a bus service will run between Appleby and Carlisle.
Martin Frobisher, the firm's route managing director, said: "An estimated 500,000 tonnes of earth has moved already and the embankment is still moving.
"Our monitoring has detected a twist fault in the tracks caused by the ground movement.
"The slip is accelerating and it is not safe to run trains in this situation.
"The extent of this landslip means it is no longer safe for this section of railway to be open to trains."
David Tennant will host a BBC Two celebration on Saturday night live from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Performers will include Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Helen Mirren and Benedict Cumberbatch.
The event will be attended by Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.
Other names on the bill include Rory Kinnear, Meera Syal, Joseph Fiennes, David Suchet, Simon Russell Beale, Roger Allam, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Harriet Walter, John Lithgow, Anne-Marie Duff and the cast of Horrible Histories.
As well as theatrical performances, the show - which begins on BBC Two at 20:30 BST - will feature hip-hop, blues, jazz, opera and classical music that has been inspired by Shakespeare's plays.
In London, Shakespeare's Globe will be screening short films of every one of Shakespeare's 37 plays on giant screens along the banks of the Thames, between Tower Bridge and Westminster.
The films feature actors delivering their lines in the locations where the plays are set - such as Cleopatra in Egypt, Julius Caesar in the Roman Forum and Hamlet at Elsinore.
Among the star names involved in the project, entitled The Complete Walk, are Gemma Arterton, Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, James Norton, Zawe Ashton and Peter Capaldi.
Dominic Dromgoole, the Globe's artistic director, who will stand down on Sunday, revealed on Friday that the short films had just all been given a "U" classification apart from one film, Pericles, which is a PG.
"That astonished us, we thought some of the others might be closer to the margins, so we'll have to put up signs around that saying it needs parental guidance," Mr Dromgoole said.
The weekend will also see the return of the Globe's worldwide tour of Hamlet, which has spent the last two years travelling to almost every country in the world.
US President Barack Obama, who is currently in the UK, is planning to visit London's Globe Theatre during the morning as part of the anniversary celebrations.
Later in the day, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will be in Stratford-upon-Avon, where the playwright was born.
They will visit the site of the playwright's adult home for 19 years - now being transformed into a tourist attraction called Shakespeare's New Place, and due to open to the public in July. They will also go to see his grave, situated at Holy Trinity Church.
And in the evening the royal couple will attend Shakespeare Live, which is being broadcast from Stratford-upon-Avon.
BBC Radio 3 will also be broadcasting a weekend of Shakespeare-inspired music and performance live from the Bard's hometown.
And some of Shakespeare's best known characters - including Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and King Lear - will be featuring along a stretch of the River Thames in London.
Elsewhere, leading arts organisations across the UK will make available performances, analysis and talks.
All material will be streamed on Shakespeare Day Live, a digital pop-up channel which kicks off Shakespeare Lives, a six month online festival.
The list, made up of both albums and singles, also includes Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It? and Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive.
Recording Academy president Neil Portnow said the music has "influenced and inspired" people for generations.
The 54th Grammy Awards ceremony will take place on 12 February.
A recording of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, which he delivered 48 years ago, also features on the list, along with Exile on Main St by the Rolling Stones and Anything Goes by Cole Porter.
Other well-known albums on the list include Santana's self-titled debut, which was released in 1969, and Bill Cosby's comedy record, I Started Out As A Child.
Established in 1973, more than 850 recording have been recognised in the Hall of Fame. Past inductees include The Beatles and Bob Dylan.
"The Recording Academy is dedicated to celebrating a wide variety of great music and sound through the decades," Mr Portnow said in a statement.
"We are especially honoured to welcome this year's selection of some of the most influential recordings of the last century.
"Marked by both cultural and historical significance, these works truly have influenced and inspired audiences for generations."
The event, which will take place at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, will be broadcast live on US network CBS.
Peter Morgan, 54, of Llanellen, Monmouthshire, is on trial at Newport Crown Court for the murder of Georgina Symonds, 25. He denies the charge.
The jury was shown a video of Mr Morgan being questioned by detectives.
In it, he broke down and said: "I can't take it. I have to tell you. I strangled her this morning."
He went on to tell police: "I loved her so much. I just want to tell you the truth about what happened."
The court has heard how Mr Morgan paid Miss Symonds, from the Allt-yr-yn area of Newport, up to £10,000-a-month to be his personal escort.
The married father-of-two was arrested on suspicion of murder in January and asked if he killed Miss Symonds.
The court heard he told detectives: "Yes. I don't know why I done it."
He said he did not like "being blamed for the reason she lost her ex-partner".
"I thought if I can't sort it out, I'm going to kill her. I don't know why I thought that. I honestly don't know what made me do it.
"I got a piece of plastic from my house and some string and I wanted her to stop blaming me."
The court heard Mr Morgan said he did not know "what I was planning on doing" and whether he "wanted to frighten her".
"I arrived and we sorted a few bits out and I told her we need to sort out where we're going. She started blaming me again and saying it was my fault," he told detectives.
"I put the cord around the neck and strangled her."
The court has previously heard from Miss Symonds' best friend Alexy Butcher, who said she had been "very depressed" over the death of her ex-boyfriend and "tried to take her own life".
She said: "Peter Morgan was helping her with her grief as much as he could but she blamed him. She wasn't very nice to him."
In the police video, Mr Morgan described killing Miss Symonds and hiding her body in his white Porsche Cayenne.
He said: "I put her in the back of my car. The two boys who work for me came down. We put the bath in, loaded the motorbikes and rubbish on and we left.
"I hadn't really planned what I was going to do. I went back to the farm and put her body behind the workbench and went back to work.
"The worrying thing is I didn't feel any guilt at the time."
Earlier, workman Mark Powell told the court Mr Morgan appeared "fine" just minutes after he is alleged to have murdered Miss Symonds.
"He pulled around in his Porsche. He got out and was making jokes. He was teasing me about doing nothing," Mr Powell said.
Mr Morgan denies murder because of diminished responsibility due to Asperger's syndrome.
The trial continues.
Foley, 42, died in Paris after a heart condition caused fluid to build up in his lungs.
He was found in his hotel room where Munster were staying before Sunday's European Champions Cup game against Racing 92.
On Friday, his coffin was carried into St Flannan's Church in his hometown of Killaloe.
Players from the province, past and present, formed a guard of honour.
Among them were former Irish and Munster stars Paul O'Connell, Ronan O'Gara and Peter Stringer, along with ex-Ireland teammate Brian O'Driscoll.
Hundreds of other mourners packed into the church and surrounding streets.
Foley is survived by his widow Olive and sons Tony and Dan.
Fr Pat Malone led the homily. He said: "It is fitting that we celebrate with dignity the life and achievements of a man who lived life with great dignity and personal and professional integrity."
Addressing Foley's widow, Olive, Fr Malone said: "You were his true love, and how good you were together.
"One could sense the strength of your relationship, the warmth of your love for each other, and the ways you supported each other through the easy as well as the difficult moments of life.
"You complimented each other so well, yin and yang in perfect valve with each other."
He said Foley's presence was reassuring to those who knew him, and said "in Anthony's presence you knew you'd never walk alone".
Foley represented the Irish province on 201 occasions and captained them to their first European Cup triumph in 2006 before helping them regain the trophy two years later.
The number eight also won 62 Ireland caps and skippered his country on three occasions.
The Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths centre (STEM) at Airbus in Stevenage is based around the company's Mars rover exploration programme.
Maj Peake said "This is where you sow the seeds of inspiration and dreams of the future."
Airbus expects 5,000 students to visit the £2.5m centre every year.
Andy Stroomer, of Airbus said: "We strongly believe that instilling a passion for science and technology at an early age will widen the potential for innovation and creativity for a sustainable and empowered future."
STEM's educational programmes will be run in conjunction with North Hertfordshire College.
Principal Matt Hamnett said: "Their commitment to playing an active part in the creation of a vibrant talent pool for their industry is fantastic."
He said the centre would open to Hertfordshire students first, before incorporating visits from schools in surrounding counties and eventually the rest of the UK.
Maj Peake, who was a test pilot before becoming an astronaut said he was inspired as a teenager by aviation, making frequent visits to air shows and museums.
He said: "If you can get them excited in science and technology at an early age, that's where they'll make the decision to study those subjects and then we can grow our workforce of the future which will be of huge benefit for the UK."
STEM was opened on the day the government confirmed Maj Peake would be making a second mission to the International Space Station.
The spacecraft that carried him to and from the International Space Station (ISS) last year has gone on display at London's Science Museum.
Blake Donnellan, 31, was serving part of a 15-year sentence at HMP Sudbury for conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
He was released on temporary licence on Christmas Day but failed to return.
Donnellan, who has links to Manchester, Plymouth and Cornwall, was jailed in 2011 for his part in the operation which saw 30 people convicted.
In 2009 and 2010, drugs with an estimated street value of £1m and nearly £100,000 in cash were seized by police Devon and Cornwall Police.
The haul included 11,000 ecstasy tablets, 14kg of cocaine, 330g of heroin, 2kg of amphetamine and 11kg of BZP (Benzylpiperazine).
The Crown Prosecution Service said Donnellan was the "mover and shaker" in the network and the link between the drugs coming down from Manchester to the Plymouth area and onwards to Cornwall.
He is described as white, 6ft (1.8m) tall and of medium build. He has brown eyes, short dark hair and speaks with a Manchester accent.
Donnellan's last known address was in Bude in Cornwall.
The three unions at the Indian company's UK plants are recommending their members, including 6,300 Tata workers in Wales, accept the deal.
They have called it the "only credible and viable way" to secure the future.
Although a less generous pension scheme, the Tata offer also includes a £1bn investment commitment at Port Talbot and no compulsory job losses.
The result of the ballot is expected by the middle of February.
Community, GMB and Unite union members are involved in the vote, after a year which has seen major jobs losses and the business being put up for sale, before Tata took it off the market as economic conditions in the industry improved.
Under the proposed changes, the British Steel Pension Scheme would close to future accrual, replaced with a defined contribution scheme with maximum contributions of 10% from Tata and 6% from workers.
The unions originally stood back from making any official recommendations, saying it was down to individual circumstances.
But after a meeting of 100 officials from plants across the UK on Thursday, they issued a joint statement saying the offer was the "best outcome that could be achieved through negotiation".
It also emerged a one-off pension contribution of up to £10,000 could be made to Tata workers in their 50s who plan to retire early.
Analysis by Brian Meechan, BBC Wales business correspondent
It is a big and very difficult decision to make.
Those workers who are union members will choose whether they want to remain on the final salary scheme or accept the less generous one being offered by Tata.
The new pension comes with the promise of £1bn of funding for Port Talbot over the next 10 years but only if the company is hitting profits targets.
But even with the offer of a pensions top-up for older workers, it will mean significantly less money for their retirement.
Some people said given the year they have gone through with the job losses, the sale and then its cancellation, they have simply lost trust in Tata.
This ballot is about the unions consulting their members.
Its result will dictate how officials deal with the company but the outcome is not binding on Tata itself.
Lutfur Rahman was found guilty of corrupt practices last week and was immediately removed from office.
He was addressing a meeting in east London organised by his supporters to protest against the judgment.
Mr Rahman told supporters his party would win the mayoral race and he would challenge the High Court's ruling.
"Those votes were cast freely and fairly. People in Tower Hamlets are smart, they're astute," he said.
"They did not vote because they were bribed, coerced or intimidated. I don't think they just voted for me just because of who I am. I was voted in on my record."
The High Court ruling prevents Mr Rahman from standing in the mayoral election which has to be re-run because he was found guilty of election fraud in May 2014.
Activist group Counterfire said it wanted to "defend democracy" in the borough, "challenge racism" and ensure "anti-racist, anti-war and anti-austerity politics find their place in the council".
Mr Rahman has consistently denied wrongdoing and announced via his website earlier this week that he would be appealing the High Court decision.
The disgraced mayor was part of the Tower Hamlets First party.
In his election court judgement, Commissioner Richard Mawrey predicted Mr Rahman would not accept the result.
Mr Mawrey said: "On past form it appears inevitable that Mr Rahman will denounce this judgement as yet another example of the racism and Islamophobia that have hounded him throughout his political life.
"It is nothing of the sort."
In the case, Mr Mawrey said the mayor had "driven a coach and horses through election law and didn't care".
The 1971 coin, which is silver in colour rather than bronze, was found in a donation box used for unwanted foreign currency.
Donations made to the box are used to purchase equipment and fund research at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
The 2p, which was auctioned on eBay, was bought by a collector for £802.03.
Last year, a silver 2p coin found in a new packet of coins minted in 1988, which was found by the owner of a petrol station in Poole, sold at Charterhouse auction house in Sherborne, Dorset, for £1,200.
Silver-coloured coins can be mistakenly struck if a cupro-nickel blank is left inside a barrel during the minting process.
A similar project in Dorset was turned down last month.
It comes just weeks after a report criticised the government for wasting taxpayers' money by giving all of its broadband funds to BT.
Those involved are angry that BT will monopolise rural broadband rollouts.
Both Oxfordshire and Dorset county councils have signed contracts with BT to provide broadband services to rural areas.
These contracts mean that alternative schemes are no longer required.
Having competition in the broadband market is important, think experts.
"Some of the niche operators want to deliver better and faster services now, and don't understand how BT can win contracts on what they believe is a weaker product," said Sebastien Lahtinen, founder of broadband news site ThinkBroadband.
BDUK, the group set up by government to oversee rural broadband rollouts, has been widely criticised for how it has handled the process.
All contracts in England and Wales have been awarded to BT, which is providing so-called fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) services to the majority of UK homes.
Fibre to the cabinet provides fibre to the green street cabinets that are located in towns and villages around the UK but relies on old-fashioned copper connections to reach individual homes, meaning that the further a home is from the cabinet, the slower the service will be.
Most of the rival rural broadband providers want to roll out fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services, which run fibre all the way to premises and are faster than FTTC.
As well as doubts about whether that is the best technology to use, there has been outrage that taxpayers' money has gone to a former telecom monopoly.
A recent report from the Commons Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said that the government needed to spend funds set aside to get superfast broadband to the last 10% of the UK more wisely.
As part of the process to get broadband to the really hard-to-reach parts of the UK, broadband groups were encouraged to bid for a separate pot of money, known as the Rural Broadband Community fund.
In July, Culture Secretary Maria Miller lent her support, saying that innovative broadband schemes like those in Dorset and Oxfordshire should "co-exist happily alongside the wider rural broadband scheme, led by BT."
The Cotswolds Broadband scheme aimed to provide fibre-to-the-home services to 5,000 premises in West Oxfordshire.
It was disappointed to find out that the scheme cannot go ahead.
"Oxfordshire County Council has supported this all along but has now decided it is not going to separate it from their contracted plans with BT," said Hugo Pickering, head of Cotswolds Broadband.
"We have already put in a whole lot of money and so the council may receive a compensation claim," said Mr Pickering.
Mr Pickering later
He believes his scheme would have offered better value for money for taxpayers because the majority of it is privately funded by residents and other interested parties.
"We only wanted 34% of state aid, which is much lower than BT, which in some cases is asking for 90% state aid," he said.
It is a point echoed by Steve Adamson, who runs a similar scheme in Dorset, aiming to run fibre networks along disused rail tracks.
"Our scheme offered fibre to the home, which is not what BT is offering. It was going to be better and it was going to be cheaper," he said.
"The decision was delayed until such time as the county council had signed its contract with BT. It became clear that BT intended to include the area we were going to cover leaving our scheme dead in the water."
A third rural broadband scheme, B4RN, that is already up and running in Lancashire, is waiting to hear whether it will qualify for Rural Broadband Community funding.
Chris Conder, one of the founders of B4RN, told the BBC: "There should be a level playing field and no cheating when it comes to taxpayers' money. BT is effectively stopping any innovation or competition and reducing the effectiveness of government support."
B4RN is due to meet with BDUK shortly.
Mr Lahtinen is not surprised that BT is dominating rural broadband.
"BT has an existing nationwide wholesale broadband platform and channel which ensures consumers have a wide range of choice as to who they buy their broadband service from," he said.
"Many councils are also likely to see BT as a 'safe option' as so many other councils have made the same decision."
In response BT told the BBC: "It is up to the local council to decide who they work with on rural broadband. Having said that, a key consideration is that any network which benefits should be open to all ISPs to use. That way, local monopolies are avoided and customers have choice.
"BT has spent huge sums developing systems that support such competition and it may be the case that small local operators can't meet those conditions and are therefore ineligible to receive public funds."
He said he has spoken to the country's PM Jens Stoltenberg to express the UK's condolences and offered assistance in tracking down the perpetrators.
A bombing in Oslo severely damaged government offices and a gunman is said to have opened fire at a youth camp.
Diplomats say they are checking whether any British nationals are affected.
Around 250,000 British tourists visit Norway every year, the Foreign Office says on the Norway travel advice section of its website.
And according to the UK Embassy in Oslo, there are also between 25,000 and 30,000 Britons resident in the country.
Mr Cameron said: "My thoughts are with the wounded and those who have lost friends and family, and I know everyone in Britain will feel the same.
"These attacks are a stark reminder of the threat we all face from terrorism.
"I have called Prime Minister Stoltenberg this evening to express my sincere condolences and to let him know that our thoughts are with the Norwegian people at this tragic time.
"I have offered Britain's help, including through our close intelligence cooperation."
The UK's ambassador to Norway, Jane Owen, told the BBC: "We are in touch with the Norwegian government at all levels and also with the police who are trying to work very hard to establish what has happened.
"We are also in very close touch with hospitals and other services to try and establish whether there are any British citizens affected we can help."
She added it was believed to have been the first attack of its kind in the country but said: "The Oslo government, however, has been aware for a long time of the potential danger and threat and have been working to combat it. And we indeed have been working very closely with them on the terrorism agenda."
At least seven people were killed in the bombing and 10 more are known to have died at the camp for young members of the Labour Party in Utoeya, an island outside the capital.
Police arrested the suspected gunman at the camp and the government have confirmed that he is Norwegian. No group has said it carried out the two attacks but police say they are linked.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said Britain stood "shoulder-to-shoulder with Norway and all our international allies" after the "horrific" attack.
"Our embassy stands ready to provide assistance to any British nationals who may have been caught up in the attack."
Scotland's finance secretary John Swinney also sent a message of condolence to Norway.
He said: "I have spoken with David Windmill, the honorary consul general, this afternoon and conveyed on behalf of the Scottish government our deepest sympathy and condolences."
Downing Street said it was "unacceptable" some areas of England and Wales were putting more effort into tackling the problem than others.
The Domestic Violence and Abuse Act aims to address an inconsistency in the use of existing offences and measures.
Mrs May said tackling such abuse was a "key priority" for the government.
As home secretary, Mrs May introduced a new offence against controlling and coercive behaviour and domestic violence protection orders.
Domestic violence prosecutions and convictions have started to improve in recent years, and the prime minister said "no stone will be left unturned in delivering a system that increases convictions, and works better for victims".
Mrs May added: "Domestic violence and abuse is a life shattering and absolutely abhorrent crime.
"There are thousands of people who are suffering at the hands of abusers - often isolated, and unaware of the options and support available to them to end it.
"Given the central importance of victim evidence to support prosecutions in this area, raising public awareness - as well as consolidating the law - will prove crucial."
Downing Street said work on the legislation would be co-ordinated by the Home Office and Ministry of Justice, although other departments would be involved.
'Sea change'
Experts working with victims will also be invited to contribute ideas and proposals.
Charities and groups supporting victims welcomed the plans.
Women's Aid chief executive Polly Neate said there was "scope to make the legal framework surrounding domestic abuse clearer and more comprehensive", while the NSPCC called for the needs of affected children to be prioritised.
Refuge chief executive Sandra Horley said she hoped the new law "will bring the sea-change that is needed to give victims the protection they need and deserve".
Victims' Commissioner Baroness Newlove said: "These long awaited changes will ensure those vulnerable victims and survivors are listened to and that they feel able to come forward and speak out against their abusers."
Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders said: "A domestic abuse case is more likely to be prosecuted and convicted today than ever before.
"However, we know this crime is often under-reported and therefore any new initiative which encourages victims to come forward is to be applauded."
The men, aged 25, and 35, were arrested earlier on Tuesday on suspicion of financing terrorism, police said.
They were arrested at two separate addresses where officers are continuing to carry out inquiries.
"The arrests were part of a continuing investigation and were intelligence led. There was no immediate threat to public safety," a force spokesman said.
The 25-year-old was released on bail pending further inquiries, West Midlands Police said.
The purchase is part of a deal by Geely to buy a 49.9% stake in Malaysian carmaker Proton, which owns Lotus.
Geely, which also owns the London Taxi Company and Sweden's Volvo Car Group, will take a 51% stake in Lotus.
Jean-Marc Gales, who became Lotus chief executive in 2014, has been trying to return the Norwich-based company to consistent profit after two decades in the red.
It was effectively locked out of United States in 2015 when its airbags failed to comply with new car safety regulations, but Lotus returned to the American market last summer.
While the Lotus car company has not been involved in Formula 1 racing since the 1990s it runs an engineering consultancy selling sports car technology.
Geely is expected to use its research in composite materials and lightweight technology to help it comply with increasingly demanding emission regulations in China.
The stake in Proton is expected to give Geely access to the south-east Asian market, where it wants to use Volvo technologies to reclaim market share.
James Chao, of consultancy IHS Markit Automotive, said: "Geely has validated the model of using their Volvo technology platform to create good products. That should be the same for Proton."
Proton also gives Geely access to right-hand-drive markets around the world, including Malaysia, the UK, India and Australia.
Proton was founded in 1983 by former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad, but its fortunes have dwindled from national champion to being a minor player even in its own domestic market.
It will continue to be majority owned by the Malaysian DRB-HICOM group.
The Malaysian government gave Proton 1.5bn ringgit ($364m) in financial aid last year on condition that it find a foreign partner.
Malaysia's second finance minister, Johari Abdul Ghani, said: "Proton will always remain a national car and a source of pride. Our very own much-loved brand now has a real chance in making a comeback."
Geely aims to produce three million cars by 2020 across all its operations.
The new England Lions cap, 24, becomes the 14th member of Steve Rhodes' Worcestershire squad to sign a new contract inside the last 12 months.
"You want to keep your best players and he's certainly one of our best players now," said director of cricket Rhodes.
"Brett has had a fantastic season. He's got into the Lions squad and we wanted to reward him with a longer deal."
Since being converted into opening batsman midway through last summer, off-spinner D'Oliveira has become Worcestershire's leading scorer in the County Championship this summer with 690 runs at an average of 49.29.
He also topped the charts in T20 Blast for the county, hitting 353 runs from his 13 games.
D'Oliveira is the third generation of his family to play for the county, following in the footsteps of his late father, Damian D'Oliveira, who went on to become the county's assistant coach, and his grandfather, former England all-rounder Basil D'Oliveira.
"The last 12 months have gone well," said D'Oliveira. "This is a week you dream off, with the Lions debut and now the new contract.
"I was expecting to do better than in previous years, but you don't expect to have such a breakthrough year like this."
One of Worcestershire's richest seams of talent in recent seasons has been Shropshire and, more specifically, Shrewsbury School, where the cricket coaching staff is headed by former Worcestershire fast bowler Paul Pridgeon, ex-Shropshire opening bowler Andy Barnard and former Warwickshire and Glamorgan left-arm seamer Adam Shantry.
The current Worcestershire squad boasts Barnard's son Ed, Shantry's younger brother Jack, current Shropshire skipper Steve Leach's elder brother Joe, as well as England Lions batsman Joe Clarke, who all came through the Shropshire junior system.
Latest off the production line is another Shrewsbury School pupil, 19-year-old Ollie Westbury, who made 196 on his England Under-19s debut against Sri Lanka at Fenners this week, one of five Worcestershire players in the squad.
Westbury's eight-hour knock surpassed the 155 made by Kadeer Ali, elder brother of Moeen, as the highest score made by a Worcestershire player at England Under-19 level. He was also the first Worcestershire player to score an England Under-19s hundred since Ed Barnard's 114 at Cape Town in 2013.
"Ollie has worked really hard the past couple of years," said Barnard. "I've played with him for a few years now, both at school and at Shrewsbury Cricket Club and he has always scored runs. He just loves batting.
"Lots of kids want to play T20 cricket but Ollie is a proper old fashioned player who leaves the ball well and just wants to bat as long as he can. He just wants to spend time at the crease."
Jayden Parkinson, 17, was strangled by Ben Blakeley and then buried in his uncle's grave.
Jake Blakeley, 18, said he helped his brother dig a hole but had not realised it was to bury Jayden.
He told Oxford Crown Court he liked Jayden and would have had the "courage" to admit the crime if he had done it.
He denies preventing a lawful burial.
Ben Blakeley, 22, from Reading, was jailed for life in July for Jayden's murder.
Jake Blakeley said he helped Ben dig a hole in a field near Didcot the day after Jayden was last seen alive in early December 2013, but said Ben told him they were burying weapons.
His defence barrister Martin Steen asked: "Did you think you were digging a grave?"
"No," he said.
Days later he and Ben dug at a second site, this time at their uncle's grave at All Saints Church in Didcot.
Blakeley said Ben wanted his help to tidy it ahead of a family visit at Christmas, but said it needed to be done late at night because it was illegal to tamper with someone's grave.
He said Ben was "agitated" and threatened him with a knife.
The court heard the brothers dug for a few hours and then Ben produced a suitcase, saying he needed to bury a dead cat and dog.
But inside the suitcase was Jayden's body.
Under cross-examination, Jake Blakeley accepted he was involved in burying Jayden's body twice, but denied knowing it was her.
He said: "If I did it I'd have the courage to admit it.
"I care about Jayden. She did not deserve what happened to her. I have lost everything because of him."
Jayden's body was found on 18 December in the grave of the brothers' uncle at All Saints Church.
The trial is due to finish next week.
The 21-year-old French striker had been training with city rivals Hibernian after leaving Albion this month.
He had joined Stirling on amateur terms in November after exiting French fourth-tier outfit Dieppe.
"I enjoyed my time at Stirling Albion," he told Hearts' website. "I had good moments with them."
Bikey added: "I'd like to thank them and their fans for helping me when I first came to Scotland."
Hearts say the striker, who played four times for Dieppe after starting his career with Nantes, is available for Sunday's Scottish Premiership match with Celtic.
The delighted Frenchman has set his sights on breaking into the first team at Tynecastle.
"This is a new challenge for me," he said. "It's a big club with a big stadium and it's a Premiership team, so I'm very happy to play for Hearts.
"It's a very big opportunity for me. This is my first time at a full-time professional club, so it's a good opportunity for me.
"Playing in the lower leagues has been hard, but I will try every day, I will learn and it's good for me.
"I'm very excited to play in front of thousands of Hearts fans and I hope to score goals for them and make them happy."
Stirling manager Dave Mackay had earlier told his club's website that he knew Bikey would leave at the end of his short-term deal at Forthbank Stadium.
"We are sorry to see Dylan go," he said. "He has obviously made a big impact and we would love to have kept him for longer."
Hearts head coach Ian Cathro are also being linked with a £170,000 deal for Anorthosis Famagusta forward Esmael Goncalves, who previously worked with Cathro at Portuguese club Rio Ave.
However, the former St Mirren player is unlikely to arrive until Monday, with the Cypriot club trying to sign a replacement before allowing the 25-year-old to leave.
Cathro said of his search for an experienced striker: "It's not something which has moved any further than where it was the other night.
"The whole process that we have trying to find that player, not specifically the one mentioned, but I talk about that player which gives us options in attack.
"We are continuing to do our work in a number of areas and, until we can bring the correct one to a close, there is no more news from us."
Daniel Ross, 62, began abusing one of his victims from the age of 14 in the 1990s, and another from the age of 13 in the 1980s, at locations in Glasgow.
Ross' first victim, now aged 55, was sexually assaulted after they met at a club in the late 1970s.
At the High Court in Glasgow, Ross was also placed on the sex offenders register for an indefinite period.
Lord Matthews told Ross that he was guilty of "very grave offences".
The judge said Ross' involvement with the children's panel could have been viewed as a "mitigatory factory", but here it had the opposite effect.
The judge went on: "It was your position which gave you access to the young vulnerable boys and who were entitled to look to you to make important decisions for their welfare.
"Decisions which should have enabled them to make the most of the poor start they had been given in life.
"Instead you grossly abused your position of trust and made decisions for your own benefit."
Ross' trial heard how he abused his senior position at the children's panel to prey on a teenage boy at its offices in the city's Albion Street in the 1990s.
The victim, now aged 38, recalled how he had been in care since the age of 11 and ended up before the children's panel due to his problems at the time.
He told the jury that he initially thought Ross was "quite a nice person" but this changed when he was about 14.
The witness said that Ross abused him for the first time before a children's panel hearing in Albion Street.
The incident took place in a room next to where the panel was to be held.
The court was told that as Ross continued to molest the boy, he told him that he would deny what had happened "because of his position".
Ross had already earlier abused another young boy between 1985 and 1988. He also met this victim through the children's panel.
Ross then got him a job at a cafe he ran - giving him access to prey on the troubled youngster.
The victim said he was about 13 when the attacks began and that it became a "regular thing".
Ross' first victim was sexually assaulted after they met at a gay club in the late 1970s.
They later lived together at a flat in Glasgow's Ibrox area but the witness said: "I was very much like a slave. I did not have a life - compared to what I have achieved now, I had no life."
The victim - now aged 55 - later added: "He is evil - evil in every way. Danny never took me seriously with anything."
Police initially investigated Ross in 2001 but no charges were brought.
However, in 2012, the victim Ross abused at the cafe again spoke to detectives.
He told the jury: "The Jimmy Savile thing started up and brought everything flooding back."
It sparked a fresh probe into the allegations and resulted in Ross being brought to court.
The 44-year-old won League Two's manager of the month award for December after four wins from five games.
"The run that we've been on, it's only a small portion of the season. We can't get carried away," said McGreal.
"We've got loads and loads of work left. Our main job at the minute is to keep minds focused on the next game."
The former Ipswich defender took his first job in management in the summer following Colchester's relegation from League One.
The U's struggled at the start of the campaign, including a winless run of 10 matches from September until mid-November, but have taken 19 points from the last 21.
McGreal told BBC Essex: "The small window I've had as a manager, it has been a roller-coaster. There's been some ups and downs but every single moment I've enjoyed it.
"Even on the winless run I've enjoyed it. When we're winning it's great but you just want to keep improving.
"We've had the relegation, we don't want to keep banging on about that, it was tough losing a lot of players, it's a new team and new management team but we're just trying to win games of football."
Colchester will move into the play-off places if they win Saturday's home game against third-placed Carlisle United.
Harry Greaves went on a solo walk on 7 April to spend his 29th birthday two days later alone in the Andes.
His body was found in a 40-metre crevice on 20 April and his family believe he lost his footing and fell.
Simon Greaves said his son had sought quiet reflection before embarking on the next stage of his life.
The recordings of poems entitled A Life Lived In Love, This Is My Dream and What It Is To Be A Man, were of great comfort, he said.
Harry, who lived in Wrexham but was from Bronygarth near Oswestry, Shropshire was due to fly back on Saturday.
Simon Greaves said: "He had reached a new level of confidence and maturity and was clear about his aims.
"All the pictures of him from Peru show him looking handsome, fit and happy.
"Amongst Harry's things we found his notebook.
"It contained a pressed flower, butterfly and feather, along with two photographs of his dear nephew, Edward.
"It outlined his hopes for the next phase of his life, notes on his experience in Peru and a few draft poems.
"Given how near he was to death, they are particularly poignant."
Harry's mother, Sarah, went to see his body and was "relieved to see that his face, though bruised, was full of peace", said Mr Greaves
"He had broken multiple bones in the fall and his end would have been swift."
Harry was found after his friends and family, assisted by the Lucie Blackman Trust and police, mounted a search using a helicopter and drones.
A fundraising page to aid the search for Harry raised more than £33,000, which will now be donated to charities, his family said.
No injuries were reported in the attack and the blaze was quickly doused.
The protesters - about 70 migrants mostly of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin - were angry about the time taken to process asylum claims at the Moria camp, officials said.
More than 15,000 asylum seekers are still living in camps on Greek islands, nearly 6,000 of them on Lesbos.
Jose Carreira, executive director of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO), told AFP news agency at least four shipping containers, where interviews were conducted, had been entirely destroyed.
In neighbouring Bulgaria - which is also dealing with thousands of stranded migrants - there was unrest at a refugee centre near the town of Harmanli. About 300 Afghans and Syrians demonstrated about being held against their will, and the poor conditions in the camp.
There has been a dramatic fall in the numbers of migrants making hazardous boat journeys across the Aegean from Turkey to the Greek islands since March, when the EU signed a deal with Turkey to curb the influx.
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.
People's Bank of China surveys showed the business confidence index rising to 51.2% in the third quarter.
That was 2.2 percentage points higher than in the second quarter.
China's factory output and retail sales grew faster than expected in August, on the back of a strong housing market and government infrastructure spending.
The world's second largest economy has lost some of its momentum during this year, as it has entered a period of readjustment.
China is looking to transform its economy away from factories and exports towards domestic consumption.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects China's GDP to grow by 6.6% this year, close to the low end of China's own official forecast of between 6.5% to 7%.
That will come after decades of near double-digit growth.
Meanwhile, a separate central bank survey showed a bankers' confidence index rising to 46.5% in the third quarter, 2.8 percentage points higher than in the April to June period.
The survey showed one in five bankers believed monetary policy would be relatively loose in the fourth quarter of this year.
The People's Bank of China has reduced interest rates six times in 22 months, and and also cut the amount of cash banks must keep in reserve.
And a third survey issued by the central bank at the weekend showed that 53.7% of households believed housing costs were "unacceptably high", up 0.3 percentage points from the second quarter.
People with severe arthritis often take the drugs, which also calm inflammation, to go about daily life.
The researchers said some patients would deem the risk acceptable, but they should be given the choice.
A study, published in the Lancet, showed the drugs posed even greater risks for smokers and the overweight.
The risks have been reported before, but a team of researchers at the University of Oxford analysed the issue in unprecedented detail in order to help patients make an informed choice.
The group investigated more than 353,000 patient records from 639 separate clinical trials to assess the impact of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
They looked at high-dose prescriptions levels, rather than over-the-counter pain relief, of 150mg diclofenac or 2,400mg ibuprofen each day.
They showed that for every 1,000 people taking the drugs there would be three additional heart attacks, four more cases of heart failure and one death as well cases of stomach bleeding - every year as a result of taking the drugs.
So the number of heart attacks would increase from eight per 1,000 people per year normally, to 11 per 1,000 people per year with the drugs.
"Three per thousand per year sounds like it is quite a low risk, but the judgement has to be made by patients," said lead researcher Prof Colin Baigent.
He added: "So if you're a patient and you go and sit in front of your doctor and discuss it, you are the one who should be making the judgement about whether three per thousand per year is worth it to allow you, potentially, to go about your daily life."
He said this should not concern people taking a short course of these drugs, for example for headaches.
However, he did warn that those already at risk of heart problems would be at even greater risk as a result of the high-dose drugs.
High blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking all increase the risk of heart problems.
Prof Baigent said: "The higher your risk of heart disease, the higher your risk of a complication. Roughly speaking, if you've got double the risk of heart disease, then the risk of having a heart attack is roughly doubled."
He said patients should consider ways to reduce their risk, which could include statins for some patients.
A similar drug called rofecoxib (known as Vioxx), was voluntarily taken off the market by its manufacturer in 2004 after similar concerns were raised.
There are more than 17 million prescriptions of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in the UK each year. Two thirds are either ibuprofen or diclofenac.
A third drug, naproxen, had lower risks of heart complications in the study and some doctors are prescribing this to higher-risk patients.
The drug does a similar job to aspirin by stopping the blood from clotting although this also increases the odds of a stomach bleed.
Prof Alan Silman, medical director of Arthritis Research UK, said the drugs were a "lifeline" for millions of people with arthritis and were "extremely effective in relieving pain".
He added: "However, because of their potential side-effects, in particular the increased risk of cardiovascular complications which has been known for a number of years, there is an urgent need to find alternatives that are as effective, but safer."
Prof Donald Singer, member of the British Pharmacological Society and from the University of Warwick, said: "The findings underscore a key point for patients and prescribers - powerful drugs may have serious harmful effects.
"It is therefore important for prescribers to take into account these risks and ensure patients are fully informed about the medicines they are taking."
The more women are exposed to "selfies" and other photos on social media, the more they compare themselves negatively, according to a study.
Friends' photos may be more influential than celebrity shots as they are of known contacts, say UK and US experts.
The study is the first to link time on social media to poor body image.
The mass media are known to influence how people feel about their appearance.
But little is known about how social media impact on self-image.
Young women are particularly high users of social networking sites and post more photographs of themselves on the internet than do men.
To look at the impact on body image, researchers at the University of Strathclyde, Ohio University and University of Iowa surveyed 881 female college students in the US.
The women answered questions about their Facebook use, eating and exercise regimes, and body image.
The research, presented at a conference in Seattle, found no link with eating disorders.
But it did find a link between time spent on social networks and negative comparisons about body image.
The more time women spent on Facebook, the more they compared their bodies with those of their friends, and the more they felt negative about their appearance.
"Spending more time on Facebook is not connected to developing a bad relationship with food, but there is a connection to poor body image," Petya Eckler, of the University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow, told the BBC.
She added: "The attention to physical attributes may be even more dangerous on social media than on traditional media because participants in social media are people we know.
"These comparisons are much more relevant and hit closer to home. Yet they may be just as unrealistic as the images we see on traditional media."
A spokesperson for the Beat eating disorders charity said body image was a key part of our sense of identity and not a trivial matter or personal vanity.
A preoccupation with weight and shape was one of the key features of current popular culture, and was a global phenomenon, she said.
"The fascination with celebrities, their bodies, clothes and appearance has all increased the pressure that people typically feel at a time when they seek to establish their own identities and when their bodies are growing and changing," she said.
"Young people compare themselves to the images that bombard them and feel it is their fault that their bodies compare so unfavourably."
About 180 protesters attended the event at College Valley in Penryn which has been earmarked by the town council for 200 homes.
Organiser Ben Bowskill said homes would have a "horrendous impact" on the area's wildlife and appearance.
The council said it had to plan for population growth "in the least damaging way for the town overall".
A petition against the development has been signed by more than 2,000 people.
Campaigners said: "We believe this is not the site for a development of this size.
"It will not only put an overwhelming burden on an already stressed infrastructure but will cause irreversible damage to this beautiful landscape and wildlife, as well as destroy a fundamental part of the town's history and its largest and last remaining greenbelt."
Penryn Town Council, which has earmarked the site for housing in its local development plan, said it had considered other options, but the valley site was the "least damaging".
It said: "The town council recognises and understands that this decision will not be popular in all quarters but also has to recognise responsibility to plan for the inevitability of population growth."
The development plan will now go through public consultation on dates yet to be confirmed before it is considered by Cornwall Council.
It highlights cycling, tackling pollution and protecting investment as key areas.
Scratch below the surface though and the unknowns are very clear.
TfL's business plan under the previous mayor, Boris Johnson, was based on fares going up at inflation (the retail price index - RPI) or RPI +1%.
That meant with a set income, big cuts were not necessary. That led to TfL becoming - according to Mr Khan - "flabby" and inefficient.
This business plan is different - that is not to say it isn't achievable - but the challenges are much larger.
Over five years there is the big cut of £2.8bn in the grant from central government, on top of that Mr Khan's TfL's fare freeze, costing £640m.
Money has to found for both.
The mayor says he is bringing in efficiencies, but the cuts imposed by government are far bigger. And his agenda does make it difficult for him to criticise transport cuts of any sort.
So to balance the books, TfL will have to make cuts of £4bn out of its five year turnover of £45bn - or £800m a year.
Where the cuts will land are not yet completely clear but it will be "the biggest ever overhaul of our organisation" says the Transport Commissioner Mike Brown.
Broadly, we are told procurement from suppliers - it is hoped - will see huge savings, as will IT projects.
There will also be job losses. Some 49 senior managers have already gone and agency staff and consultants will also be reduced.
Crucially operating costs will also not be able to rise by much at all - even if inflation goes up.
"To achieve our milestones we must increase the use of public transport in the short run, primarily by attracting customers back to the bus service," the TfL draft business plans says.
"In the medium term we must ensure the Elizabeth Line opens on schedule and carries the projected 232 million passengers a year, resulting in £0.7bn in fare revenue growth over the plan.
"This must be achieved while operating costs are held down by absorbing inflation and the additional costs of running the Elizabeth Line."
On the buses there has been a 5% drop in a passenger numbers. Rectifying that is mentioned a number of times.
The report says: "We must attract customers back on to our buses. This is vital because fares income represents, proportionately, a greater slice of total income.."
To do that the mayor needs to solve congestion in London which has seen average speeds drop to 7.8mph.
That is extremely challenging - not many cities have done it - especially with many big construction projects in London and a growing population. Could we see the congestion charge increased?
The Elizabeth Line is another unknown. The plan expects it to generate more than £2bn in fares over the next five years.
That is without knowing the fare structure for the service.
There is also politics in the business plan.
Some £20m is set aside to take over suburban rail services if the government changes its mind and decides to give TfL the Southeastern franchise.
On that issue the mayor is treading a thin line.
On the one hand he calls TfL "flabby", on the other he wants the government to hand over rail services to - by his own definition - an inefficient organisation.
This is a business plan of massive challenges.
Will it be achievable without commuters and Londoners noticing?
It is thought the three-storey building at Bishop's Gate, Thorntonhall, was so badly damaged it may have to be demolished.
Scottish Fire and Rescue said the fire on Friday evening was originally tackled by eight firefighters inside the building.
However, they were withdrawn over fears the building might collapse.
Efforts to fight the fire continued externally using a specialist appliance.
The blaze was extinguished, but the roof of the building has gone and the third storey is completely destroyed.
Residents of Bishop's Gate were given teas and coffees at the nearby Thorntonhall Tennis Club.
A spokesman for South Lanarkshire Council praised the "community spirit" and said all of the residents had been given alternative accommodation by relatives.
Security aides said Sebastian "Baste" Duterte, a 29-year-old surfer, was "uncontactable" last week.
In his speech the famously-blunt leader discussed his "lover boy" son's private life and troubled relationships.
His son later surfaced and addressed his whereabouts, but the incident has left many Filipinos perplexed.
"Good morning, Pa. Don't get stressed. I've just been staying in the other house since 1 February," the younger Duterte posted on Facebook.
The difficult relationship between Sebastian Duterte and his controversial father is well-documented, but many Filipinos online asked why a president would use a public speech to settle private matters.
"My youngest son is a jerk. He's not been going home to his house anymore," Mr Duterte said in a mixture of Tagalog, English and the Visayan dialect in his speech on Thursday.
He went on to compare Baste to his older siblings Sara and Paolo, both politicians in his stronghold of Davao city: "I've never had difficulty with my other children who are making good," he said.
Duterte's outspoken style and crime-fighting record have made him popular among Filipinos.
Those he has insulted include US leaders Barack Obama and Donald Trump, as well as Pope Francis.
"Seems like he chose to remain un-contactable from his crazy father, I would have done the same thing if mine was up in my business," commented Jiselle Maliano on Facebook.
"This is a president that can dig up where the drug addicts are but not even know the whereabouts of his own son," said Zhevsky Requejo in a Facebook post.
"Someone pinch me, is Duterte dragging out dirty laundry," questioned another Filipino. "Shaming corrupt politicians and criminals is one thing but have some sense to know when to draw the line with your family matters. Let's stick to running the country."
But Duterte supporters fired back in support of the president's stand.
Some like Corazon Cabrera left comments on public Facebook posts by Baste, calling him out for not "listening to his father".
"A real man takes care of his kids no matter what the relationship is with their mother," she wrote. "If you can't make a sacrifices for your children, you don't deserve them. Shame on you."

Professor John Ashton, outgoing president of the Faculty of Public Health (FPH), said children were neglected by some schools and parents.
He said the state should help stop children being crippled by conditions such as anxiety, anorexia and obesity.
The FPH has released a report calling for mental health improvements.
It says: "Mental, emotional or psychological problems account for more disability than all physical health problems put together.
"Although we cannot say yet exactly how much of the burden of mental illness could be prevented, we know prevention is possible."
One in 10 children aged five to 16 years had a mental health problem that warranted support and treatment, the report said.
And the quality of the parent-child relationship and parenting more broadly played a primary role.
Prof Ashton said that, given the huge financial and human cost of mental health problems, more should be done to tackle their causes.
He said: "We've done well in terms of producing live, healthy babies over the last 60, 70 years, but, by the time children are leaving school, between 10% and 15% of them are in trouble emotionally or mentally, and suffer from things like obesity, eating disorders, anxiety and stress.
"Having produced healthy babies we then set about neglecting them."
Prof Ashton suggested parenting advice and support could be provided by investing in existing networks - such as health visitors and schools. And by using social media to reach parents and setting up 24/7 helplines - for example for people raising adolescents.
Prof Sarah Stewart-Brown, who produced the report, said diet and activity played a role in mental health but "supporting parenting is key. The first 1,001 days of a child's life are particularly important.
"Over three-quarters of all mental health problems emerge in childhood and adolescence."
Programmes based in schools, workplaces, doctors' surgeries, and in the community could help, she said.

Mr Bush, 90, was released from the Houston Methodist Hospital and continues his recovery at home, his spokesman said.
Two years ago, Mr Bush was treated in the same hospital for more than two months for bronchitis and other issues.
He was president from 1989 to 1993, and heads a famous political dynasty.
His son George W Bush served as president from 2001 to 2009.
Another son, Jeb, said this month he would "actively explore the possibility of running for president" in 2016.
A statement from George Bush Sr's spokesman, Jim McGrath, confirmed the former president had been discharged.
"He is now resting at home, grateful to the doctors and nurses for their superb care."

In 2014, he was given red carpet treatment in recognition of the Pakistani military's long-demanded ground offensive to clear militant sanctuaries in North Waziristan, on the border with Afghanistan.
This time, the significance of his trip was slightly dented when an unnamed Pentagon official revealed the visit was requested by Gen Sharif, not Washington.
But observers have not missed the fact that more doors are being opened for him in Washington than for most other military chiefs from elsewhere in the world.
Apart from nearly the entire US military leadership, Gen Sharif has also held meetings with Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and the head of the CIA, John Brennan.
He is also likely to meet US Vice President Joe Biden and National Security Adviser Susan Rice later on Thursday.
Coming as it does on the heels of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's visit, such a reception for the army chief appears to support the view that it's the military and not the politicians who control Pakistan's defence and foreign affairs.
"Given the current reality of power management in Pakistan, it is only natural that the Americans would want to talk to the military when it comes to discussing their chief concerns in this region," says Hasan Askari Rizvi, a Lahore-based defence analyst.
"The Americans would like to talk about counter-terrorism, or Pakistan's role in Afghanistan, or issues related to the transfer of military hardware and security funds - these are all areas which are controlled by the military," he says.
Pakistan depends on the US for the bulk of its military hardware and security funds. But over the last few years it has also attracted flak from some quarters in Washington for its "double-dealing" in Afghanistan.
Some tough talking was expected during Gen Sharif's stay in Washington, but many feel the Paris attacks may have eclipsed the Afghanistan issue for now.
In the absence of any detailed briefing on talks by both Pakistani and American officials, it is difficult to know what concrete proposals have been discussed or decisions made. But there is wide agreement within informed circles on which issues may have been on the table.
The Americans want Pakistan to eliminate militant infrastructure, including the Afghanistan-focused Haqqani network, the India-focused Lashkar-e Taiba (LeT) and their various affiliates.
They have also been pushing Pakistan to use its leverage with the Taliban to open peace talks with Kabul.
The second round of an intra-Afghan dialogue facilitated by Pakistan with US and Chinese support was abandoned in July when Kabul blamed Pakistan for hiding the news of Taliban chief Mullah Omar's death.
Pakistan blamed Afghan intelligence for deliberately leaking this news to scuttle the talks.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, blames Pakistan for the surge in Taliban violence since the talks were abandoned.
Pakistan has been pushing for a power-sharing deal for the Taliban in Kabul, including the Haqqani network, and would like the Americans to "adopt" them as a lesser evil - because the Taliban have a localised agenda and if denied space, they could be gobbled up by the pan-Islamic militant group, Islamic State.
Lately, Pakistan has also been complaining about an increasingly belligerent India, which it says is putting pressure on its eastern border, thereby hampering its efforts to eliminate the "bad boys" in its tribal areas to the west.
In addition, Pakistan has accused India of using Afghan territory to foment trouble in the Pakistani regions of Balochistan and Karachi.
Analysts say Pakistan is likely to argue that in the given situation, any action against anti-India groups like LeT may turn them against Pakistan and worsen its problems with India.
There is also the issue of nuclear weapons, which fall in the exclusive domain of the military.
"The Americans will certainly have raised the issue of Pakistan's growing nuclear arsenal which at the current rate may become the third or even the second largest in the world by 2020," says Ayesha Siddiqa, another defence analyst based in Islamabad.
Americans have been concerned about Pakistan's short-range battlefield nuclear weapons falling into militant hands, as well as its long-range weapons that can hit targets as far away as the Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean where India's nuclear arsenal may have been stacked, she says.
In return, there have been suggestions by some American think-tanks that Pakistan could be offered membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), with legitimate access to nuclear research and technology.
But Pakistan may not be keen because it already has access to technology through China, and also because technology available through the NSG may be prohibitively expensive.
Analysts say the situation is tricky, and there is little the Pakistanis would be willing to offer in strategic terms, although they may offer some tactical support in Afghanistan.
So how is the US likely to respond to this security calculus?
There have been veiled warnings that the US may block some $300m in coalition support funds owed to Pakistan if the US Department of Defence fails to certify that Pakistanis are acting against the Haqqani network.
But analysts suspect Pakistan will stick to its guns, knowing that the Western powers have their hands full with IS at the moment and will continue to depend on Pakistan to deliver in Afghanistan. | Pakistan army chief Gen Raheel Sharif's trip to Washington is his second in less than a year. | 34,874,477 | 1,143 | 26 | false |
The arrests were made following operations at addresses in Edinburgh, Fife and Glasgow.
Police have now made a total of 28 arrests following the disorder at the Hibs/Rangers clash at Hampden on Saturday 21 May.
Officers said they expected more to take place in the next few weeks.
The detective leading the operation, Det Supt Kenny Graham, said the new arrests were just the "first phase" of the large-scale investigation.
He said 10 men, aged between 17 and 50, were arrested over offences including assault, vandalism, disorder and anti-social behaviour.
The 17-year-old was charged with an alleged assault on Rangers goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, who was still on the pitch when Hibernian fans invaded at the full-time whistle.
Two other 18-year-olds were the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged disorder and assault at the game.
Police brought horses on to the Hampden pitch to control the crowds, after Hibernian won their first Scottish Cup Final in 114 years.
There were clashes as thousands of Hibs fans invaded the pitch as well as a section of support from the Rangers end of the ground.
The pitch invasion delayed the presentation of the trophy and there was no lap of honour for Hibs players.
Rangers players were not able to pick up their cup final medals.
Det Supt Graham said: "This is a large-scale investigation into the multiple acts of violence, disorder and vandalism, involving large numbers of people which occurred in the aftermath of the Scottish Cup Final.
"I have a team of officers which has been working extensively to identify those individuals involved in violence and disorder, regardless of the colour of their scarf."

The acquisition - China's largest foreign retail investment - gives Sanpower an 89% share in the company.
Sanpower said it wanted to expand the "iconic heritage brand" overseas, especially in China.
House of Fraser called the deal an "extremely exciting chapter" in its 165-year history.
By Douglas FraserBusiness and economy editor, Scotland
From Mohamed al Fayed to Iceland's business buccaneers, the House of Fraser portfolio has secured its owners many of Britain's most prestigious retail locations.
And at a time of unprecedented change for the industry, that is testament to the vision of the Fraser family, and to the endurance of the department store format.
Starting in 1849 in Glasgow, the dynasty's third Hugh Fraser became general manager and then chairman in his twenties, going on to build a retail giant through more than 70 business acquisitions over the following four decades.
The Frasers' store on Glasgow's Buchanan Street remains a cornerstone of both the business and the city's '"style mile". While it has kept Jenners' name in Edinburgh, other names have been replaced - Arnott's, Binn's, Army & Navy - and there's now a focus on the House of Fraser brand for a consistent link to online sales.
At Glasgow University, the House of Fraser archive is a treasure trove of consumer trends going back into the 19th century.
Despite having an old-fashioned retail format, its execution of that shift to online sales may be one of the attractions to its new owners, as well as the possibility of taking the House of Fraser brand onto the Chinese high street.
"This acquisition is a landmark transaction for a Chinese listed company," said Yuan Yafei, chairman of Sanpower Group.
"House of Fraser is a strong and iconic heritage brand in the UK and abroad, with exceptional fashion credentials.
"We have always been looking to invest in strong brands like House of Fraser, and take them to the next level of growth."
House of Fraser said it did not expect to see any day-to-day changes for the 7,300 staff and 12,000 concession employees working at its 60 shops.
The department store chain's executive chairman, Don McCarthy, who will step down once the deal is complete, said the deal would give House of Fraser a "strong platform" to develop oversees.
"Our announcement...opens an extremely exciting chapter in the story of House of Fraser," he added.
"I am extremely confident that the Group's business model...will accelerate and develop long into the future."
The acquisition, made via Sanpower's Nanjing Cenbest subsidiary, comes just a week after Sports Direct bought an 11% stake in House of Fraser.
It was seen by many as an attempt by Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley to derail the Chinese deal.
But House of Fraser said on Saturday that should the transfer of those shares go through, the Newcastle United owner would not have the right to a position on the company's board.
The Sanpower deal also brings to an end House of Fraser's plans to list on the London Stock Exchange. | UK department store chain House of Fraser has sold a majority stake in its business to Chinese conglomerate Sanpower in a £480m deal. | 27,009,359 | 675 | 32 | false |

The party has confirmed to BBC Sport it plans to make the pledge as part of its 2015 General Election manifesto.
Currently, the Football Spectators Act 1989 requires safety authorities to ensure fans attending games in England's top two divisions are seated.
However, the party is not advocating a return to open terracing.

It believes rail seats, popular in German football, should be introduced if clubs wish to install standing sections.
Rail seats can be locked in an upright position to allow fans to stand and lean against a barrier.
However, the seats can also be unlocked to comply with all-seater stadium rules, as and when required.
The Football Supporters' Federation (FSF) has led a campaign in favour of safe standing for several years.
"Football can't bury its head in the sand," said an FSF spokesman. "Tens of thousands already stand at games.
"Clubs who back rail seats are simply listening to their fans and responding to safety needs.
"Germany has had rail seats for many years and they have had no problems. The Government tells us it needs robust proof, so let's have a trial and see."
Several Premier League clubs - including Aston Villa, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Swansea City - now back the introduction of rail seats on a trial basis.
The Football League has also lobbied for a change in legislation given a number of its 72 clubs would like to implement standing.
Chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "Since being given a mandate by our clubs to lobby for a change to the law on the use of standing accommodation, we have had useful discussions with the Sports Minister and other relevant stakeholders on this matter.
"We recognise that this is an extremely emotive issue and that significant change isn't necessarily going to happen overnight.
"However, a logical first step would be for safe standing products, such as rail seating, to be licensed for use by the relevant authorities.
"This would enable one of the 21 Football League clubs that is not currently required by law to have an all-seater stadium to install a pilot scheme at its ground.

"This would give everybody greater insight into the use of this type of accommodation and help take the debate forward in a cautious and responsible manner."
However, the Premier League has reiterated its opposition, telling BBC Sport: "It remains the Premier League's position that stadiums should be all-seat, in line with government policy, and we will not be encouraging the government to change the law."
Liberal Democrat spokesperson John Leech MP believes the evidence to allow standing is overwhelming.
"Safe standing is allowed in many other sports and we do not believe that the top level of football should be an exception," he said.
"We are not calling for a return of the terraces of the 1980s. Modern safe standing areas using rail seating operate very successfully in top-tier football across Europe."
With the Liberal Democrats struggling in the polls, an outright victory for the party in next year's election may seem unlikely.
However, the formation of another coalition government could see safe standing feature in any negotiations between the parties over a combined legislative agenda.
Following the recommendations of Lord Justice Taylor's report into the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, in which 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives, clubs in the top two tiers of English football have been required to provide every spectator with a seat.
The Liberal Democrat pledge promises to amend the law to allow safety authorities in England and Wales to issue guidance to clubs on how safe standing could be introduced.
The FSF also claims safe standing would make it cheaper for fans to watch games.
"Standing areas in safety-conscious nations such as Germany are traditionally far cheaper, with season tickets available for a fraction of the cost at equivalent-sized clubs in the UK," added the spokesman.
Leech agrees, adding: "Safe standing offers supporters more choice, a better atmosphere and cheaper tickets. It is an idea whose time has come and I am proud that it is the Liberal Democrats who are the first political party to commit to delivering this."
Earlier this year, Bristol City installed a small section of rail seats at their Ashton Gate stadium.
However, they are only able to utilise them during Bristol Rugby games which also take place at the ground.

Scottish Premiership clubs are also strong backers of safe standing.
However, Celtic's application to install a section of rail seating was rejected by Glasgow City Council earlier this month.
The council claimed Celtic's plan did not offer enough assurances to its safety advice group, which included representatives from the emergency services.
In Wales, Assembly members recently voted 26-1 to support the introduction of safe standing, believing that football should be no different from rugby or other sports.
However, as the laws relating to standing are not devolved, any change in Wales would require Westminster MPs to vote in favour of reform.
Strong opposition to standing does remain, with the Association of Chief Police Officers saying previously that they would need to be convinced over whether it could work within some of England's largest stadiums.
The Hillsborough Families Support Group have also steadfastly maintained their position against any return of standing.
Jordan Clements' 14-year-old sister Nyah James was found dead at her home in Blaenymaes, Swansea, in February.
Swansea Magistrates' Court heard Clements later targeted four girls.
The 20-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of harassment and two counts of sending offensive communications.
Clements was ordered to complete a 125-hour community order as well as 15 days of rehabilitation.
District Judge Neale Thomas said he could have sent Clements to prison because of the targeted and frightening online messages he sent to his four victims, which the court heard were abusive and threatening.
However, Judge Thomas said the defendant had become "irrational with grief" following Nyah's death.
He said: "The defendant's younger sister took her own life on 6 February.
"It is difficult if not impossible to imagine the horror and devastation of such an event.
"The defendant was under the impression that (his victims) had bullied her (Nyah)."
Judge Thomas said the sentence he passed came with a great deal of care and consideration.
While he said he did not "minimise" the effect on the teenage girls, he said that Mr Clements' mother had lost her daughter and losing her son to custody would be unthinkable.
He added he was certain the offences would not have happened were it not for the tragic death of his sister.
The court also heard that the issue of whether bullying had played a part in Nyah's decision to take her own life would be "down to the coroner".
Clements will have to pay £85 in costs and an £85 court surcharge following the case.
Syed Jamanoor Islam, 20, died in hospital after an attack in Wager Street, Mile End, on 11 April.
Three youths, aged 18, 15 and 17, were arrested in South Yorkshire and are being held at a London police station.
The victim's father, Syed Abdul Mukit, has called on the community and politicians to tackle the rise in crime in society.
He said: "We lost our first son in his mother's arms and no family ever wants to lose a child in that manner.
"It is about time we as community members stand up against violence, injustice and hate in the community."
A post-mortem examination gave Mr Islam's cause of his death as a stab wound.
He was one of three people stabbed to death in little more than 24 hours in attacks in London.
Officers said they are keeping an open mind about a possible motive.
Police believe the victim was with friends in Wager Street when he was approached by a group of males before an altercation began.
Det Ch Insp Tony Lynes said: "We are still keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at that time and might have seen what happened or who has any information about the circumstances."
An 18-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder on Wednesday has been bailed pending further inquiries.
The April 2018 goal to protect under-18s was revealed as digital minister Matt Hancock signed the commencement order for the Digital Economy Act, which introduces the requirement.
But details as to how the scheme will work have yet to be finalised.
Experts who advised ministers said the targeted date seemed "unrealistic".
The act also sets out other new laws including punishing the use of bots to snatch up scores of concert tickets, and mandating the provision of subtitles on catch-up TV.
The age-check requirement applies to any website or other online platform that provides pornography "on a commercial basis" to people in the UK.
It allows a regulator to fine any business that refuses to comply and to ask third-party payment services to withdraw support.
The watchdog will also be able to force internet providers to block access to non-compliant services.
Ministers have suggested one of several ways this might work would be for pornographic sites to demand credit card details before providing any access, since in the UK consumers typically have to be over 18 to have a card of their own.
But the specifics are being left to the as-yet unappointed regulator to determine.
While it has been proposed that the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will assume this role, a spokesman for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport said the appointment would not be formalised until the autumn.
"We are already working closely with DCMS to ensure the effective implementation of the act," a spokeswoman for the BBFC told the BBC, but added that it was too early to say more about what guidance it might issue.
The measure has been welcomed by child protection charities including Childnet.
"Protecting children from exposure, including accidental exposure, to adult content is incredibly important, given the effect it can have on young people," said its chief executive Will Gardner.
"Steps like this help restrict access."
Mindgeek, which operates several of the world's most popular porn sites, has also previously indicated support.
But two experts who advised the government on its plans have expressed reservations about both how quickly the scheme is being rolled out and its wider implications.
"It seems to me to be a very premature date," commented Dr Victoria Nash, lead author of a report commissioned in the run-up to the law being drafted.
"The idea you can get a regulatory body up and running in that timeframe seems extraordinary to me.
"And while I don't have a problem with asking these companies to act responsibly, I don't see it as a solution to stopping minors seeing pornography."
This, she explained, was because the act does not tackle the fact that services including Twitter and Tumblr contain hardcore pornography but will not be required to introduce age-checks. Nor, she added, would teens be prevented from sharing copied photos and clips among themselves.
"It may make it harder for children to stumble across pornography, especially in the younger age range, but it will do nothing to stop determined teenagers," Dr Nash concluded.
One cyber-security expert on the same advisory panel was more critical.
"The timeline is unrealistic - but beyond that, this is one of the worst proposals I have seen on digital strategy," said Dr Joss Wright from the Oxford Internet Institute.
"There are hundreds of thousands of websites where this material can be accessed and you are not going to catch all of those.
"There's privacy issues - you're requiring people to effectively announce the fact they are looking at this material to the credit card authorities.
"And there's serious security issues from requiring people to enter their credit card details into untrusted sites.
"They may well say there will be other magical ways to do the age check, but I very much doubt they will be non-discriminatory [against adults without credit cards], transparent, privacy-preserving and secure for end-users."
Other topics covered by the act on which work can now formally begin include:
Some provisions set out by the act have already come into force, including the introduction of a "broadband universal service obligation" to give households the right to request download speeds of at least 10 megabits per second, and increased fines for firms behind nuisance calls.
"The Digital Economy Act is about building a strong, safe and connected economy," said Mr Hancock.
"It will secure better support for consumers, better protection for children on the internet, and underpin a radical transformation of government services."
It should be a strangely relaxing holiday period for Labour without a summer leadership contest for the first time in three years.
When I mentioned that to the shadow chancellor John McDonnell on a recent visit to Pembrokeshire, he gently suggested that someone needed to have a word to remind Jeremy Corbyn.
The sense was that the Labour leader had no such intention of taking his foot off the gas in the wake of the general election result, even if many in his party probably felt like a long break.
Mr McDonnell was actually in the constituency of Preseli Pembrokeshire as part of a summer tour of marginals.
The fact that it is now even considered a marginal, after the former Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb clung on in what was considered a safe Tory seat with a majority of just 314 votes, tells you all you need to know about how the party surprised so many in June.
The overall result may not have put Mr Corbyn into Downing Street but it gave the party rocket boosters, although the celebrations were muted among many Labour MPs who, ironically, saw their majorities increase off the back of the popularity of a leader they had previously criticised.
In truth, there were Labour politicians and party members as surprised as anyone in the way the campaign turned out.
Be that as it may, Labour now feels emboldened in the way it approaches certain issues like austerity and the state of the public finances.
On paper at least, the same should apply to Brexit but there is a sense that, like the Conservatives, divisions are never far from breaking out.
The latest strategy from the party is to focus on the one thing they can all agree on - the need for tariff-free access to the single market.
John McDonnell said everything else is secondary. As a strategy, this has the benefit of potentially closing down the significance of any different nuances on the approach to Brexit among senior figures.
The downside is that it says so little that Labour loses impact and credibility whenever it wants to launch into a criticism of the UK government's approach to the negotiations.
There are some, including the former shadow Europe minister Wayne David, who believe the party should be using the summer to come up with a cohesive approach to EU withdrawal before the autumn conference.
In the meantime, the hope will be that splits among Conservative ranks outweigh any divisions within Labour.
First Minister Carwyn Jones has also looked to cash in on the unexpected strength of Labour and comparative weakness of the UK government since the June result.
He has been particularly prominent in his criticism of the way that EU powers covering devolved areas are due to be temporarily held at Westminster immediately after Brexit.
Mr Jones believes barriers to trade will hit the Welsh economy disproportionately, and he clearly feels the election result has given him a stronger mandate to push those views aggressively on a UK government that at times has looked at sixes and sevens.
In all of this, the performance of the Labour government in Cardiff in the delivery of public services has faced far less attention than would otherwise have been the case.
Waiting times still lag behind England in most areas but the performance appears to have broadly stabilised.
Much of the scrutiny has been on economic development with the decision not to support the Circuit of Wales racetrack in Blaenau Gwent.
There will now be pressure on Labour ministers to deliver alternative proposals with the possibility of creating other jobs in the Heads of the Valleys.
And there are some big decisions on the horizon as the public inquiry into the M4 relief road at Newport nears its end, and a decision is made on who operates the new Wales and borders franchise.
And as the recess gets under way, Welsh Labour will have time to reflect on its relationship with a man who help provide it with much improvement at the ballot box, and yet is a man who it has very much tried to keep at arms length: Jeremy Corbyn.
Manus Deery, 15, was shot in the head by a soldier named on Monday as William Glasgow, who died in 2001.
The Army claimed that they were shooting at a gunman in the Bogside, something the Deery family rejects.
Commanding officer Trevor Wilson said Army guidance was at the forefront of everyone's minds.
Mr Wilson was in charge of C company who were deployed in Derry in 1972.
C company included William Glasgow and another soldier, who can only be identified as soldier B, who said they saw a gunman at an archway near the Bogside Inn.
Londonderry Coroner's Court was told of a statement that Mr Wilson had made previously, in which he was asked to explain the nature of the training given to soldiers and if they had received any training in long and short range firing.
In his statement, Mr Wilson said that he could not recall any specific regiment training but he then corrected himself and said that he recalled taking the company away for a weekend of training which was specific to Northern Ireland, prior to deployment.
He added that all soldiers were required to carry a yellow card and that the guidance on that card was at the forefront of everyone's minds before and during posting.
Later, when asked by counsel for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the PSNI if there was anything he would like to say to the Deery family, who were in court, Mr Wilson said: "It's difficult to comprehend the devastating effects that the loss of Manus at such a young age and in such tragic circumstances must have had on the family.
"You have my deepest sympathy and I hope this inquiry may provide some comfort to you.
"Finally I shall continue to remember Manus and you in my thoughts and in my prayers."
The court heard that Mr Wilson did not seek nor was he given information about the shooting at the time or during the intervening years.
It was only 18 months ago that he learned that the person shot was not a gunman, but a 15-year-old boy.
The counsel for the MoD also raised concerns about a report carried by the BBC which stated that Soldier 'B' ordered Private William Glasgow to fire the fatal shot.
The MoD counsel said that all sides were of the opinion that there was "no evidence of any kind intended to indicate that Soldier B had given any order or given any instruction in relation to the firing of the round".
The coroner said it was a pity that this was reported wrongly.
The MoD counsel also said it was about two and a half hours after the clarification was made in court that the BBC changed its online copy. Other media outlets were mentioned in court, too.
The inquest continues and is expected to last until the middle of next week.
The sergeant, known only as Marine A, faces a mandatory life term over the shooting of the unknown man while on patrol in Helmand Province, in 2011.
Two other marines were cleared.
Brigadier Bill Dunham, of the Royal Marines, said the murder - the first case of its kind - was "a truly shocking and appalling aberration".
There were tears from the marines' families as the verdicts were read at the Military Court Centre in Bulford, Wiltshire, on Friday.
Marine A, who will be sentenced on 6 December, was taken into custody, while the two other marines, known as B and C, are free to return to military service. An anonymity order granted last year to protect the men from possible reprisals remains in place.
Marine B had inadvertently filmed the murder, which happened on 15 September 2011, on his helmet-mounted camera and the footage was shown to the court during the two-week trial.
It showed Marine A shooting the Afghan prisoner with a 9mm pistol, and saying: "There, shuffle off this mortal coil... It's nothing you wouldn't do to us."
He adds: "Obviously this doesn't go anywhere fellas. I just broke the Geneva Convention," to which Marine B replies: "Yeah, roger mate."
On Thursday, a recording of a conversation between the marines in the moments surrounding the shooting was released by the judge.
By Alex LittlewoodBBC News
Shortly before 14:00 GMT - after almost 10 hours of deliberation - word spread that the board had reached a verdict.
Court one, packed with the marines' families, journalists and lawyers, fell silent as the board of seven servicemen entered.
After two-and-a-half weeks of evidence, the three marines - blocked from view by a screen because of an anonymity order - were asked to rise to their feet.
Their loved ones held hands, put their arms around each other and prepared to hear the verdict.
Those verdicts were delivered quickly. Marine A, guilty of murder. Marines B and C not guilty.
The families gasped and some began to cry as the judge said the tariff for murder was a mandatory life sentence. The courtroom was then quickly cleared so Marine A could see his family before being taken into custody.
He had previously rejected an application by the media to release the video footage, saying it could be used as propaganda against the UK military.
During the court martial, prosecutor David Perry told the court the murder was "not a killing in the heat and exercise of any armed conflict... it amounted to an execution".
Marine A told the court martial he had fired because of "poor judgement and lack of self-control", but said he had thought the insurgent was already dead.
Marines B and C were accused by the prosecution of being "party to the killing" and of having "encouraged and assisted" Marine A to commit the murder.
At the time of the killing, he was an experienced sergeant, while Marine C was the most junior of the three. Marine B was new to the Helmand base where marines A and C were based.
Marine A was convicted by a board of seven officers and non-commissioned officers.
Brig Dunham, deputy commandant general of the Royal Marines, said: "It is a matter of profound regret that, in this isolated incident, one marine failed to apply his training and discharge his responsibilities.
"What we have heard over the past two weeks is not consistent with the ethos, values and standards of the Royal Marines.
"It was a truly shocking and appalling aberration. It should not have happened and it should never happen again."
He said the Royal Marines would consider any impact from the case on the training given to its personnel.
Gen Sir Mike Jackson, a former head of the Army, urged people to keep "a sense of proportion" but said he was "saddened" by the case.
"I'm afraid whatever casualties the unit had taken, didn't change the law.
"It's not about whether the Taliban do or do not adhere to whatever set of rules, if any. It is about the standards which apply to the British armed forces which are drawn from the Geneva Convention."
He added: "The fact that a trial has taken place, I would argue upholds those standards."
The murder took place after a patrol base in Helmand Province came under attack from small arms fire from two insurgents.
The Afghan prisoner was seriously injured by gunfire from an Apache helicopter sent to provide air support, and the marines found him in a field.
In one conversation between Marine A and C about shooting the man, one serviceman is overheard asking "Anyone want to give first aid to this idiot?" before another replies loudly "Nope."
In another, Marine C was heard asking A if he should shoot the man in the head, but Marine A said that would be too "obvious".
This international agreement concerning the treatment of captured and wounded prisoners of war was first signed in Geneva in 1864. It was later revised in 1949 and consists of four treaties.
Article three of the third convention rules that members of the armed forces who have laid down their arms or who cannot fight due to sickness, wounds or detention should be "treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria".
To this end, it is prohibited to pass sentences on prisoners or carry out executions without a constituted court judgement. Prisoners may not be harmed, degraded, humiliated or taken hostage.
Under the convention, the wounded and sick should be collected and cared for by an impartial humanitarian body, such as the Red Cross.
Royal Military Police arrested the three marines in October 2012 after video footage was found on a serviceman's laptop by civilian police in the UK.
They first appeared at the Military Court Centre in Bulford in August, where they pleaded not guilty to murdering the Afghan national contrary to section 42 of the Armed Forces Act 2006.
Two further marines - D and E - had the charges against them dropped in February.
The case was the first time British forces have faced a murder charge in relation to the conflict in Afghanistan, said BBC defence correspondent Caroline Wyatt.
Prof Michael Clarke, director of the Royal United Services Institute, said the Ministry of Defence needed to be transparent in cases such as this.
"The only thing the MoD can do is not try to hide in cases that look as bad as this, and they're going to have to accept that if we fight these wars, there will be cases that we are not very proud of," he said.
Ian Liddell-Grainger received a letter from Avon and Somerset Police informing him his certificate had run expired, the Somerset County Gazette reported.
The MP for Bridgwater and West Somerset said he was "appalled" it would take 16 weeks to issue a new one, accusing the force of "utter incompetence".
Avon and Somerset Police refused to respond to the MP's comments.
"Forgetting to check and renew a licence in time is a simple mistake that anyone can make - and I make mistakes like everyone else," the Tory said.
"But I cannot believe how long it's going take to deal with a simple renewal of an existing certificate.
"Sixteen weeks to complete one piece of paperwork looks like utter incompetence.
"When I mentioned the fact that I was a MP, it was suggested that if the government gave the force some more money they might be able to get these things done more quickly."
Russian MP Andrei Lugovoi told a Moscow press conference he could not receive "justice" in Britain.
Mr Litvinenko, 43, died in 2006 after he was poisoned with polonium-210 while drinking tea at a London meeting.
A pre-inquest review heard he was working alongside Spanish spies for MI6 in the days before his death.
Russia has refused to extradite Mr Lugovoi to the UK for questioning. He has also denied any involvement.
It was thought he might have provided video-link evidence to the inquest in London.
But a spokesman for the inquest said: "It is too early to say whether Mr Lugovoi will be called to give evidence and, if he is, how it would be given."
Mr Lugovoi reportedly told the press conference, which was hosted by the Russian news agency, Interfax: "I have no hope to get justice in the UK. I finally lost faith in the possibility of an impartial investigation of the case...
By Steven RosenbergBBC News
Andrei Lugovoi was almost mocking in his criticism of Scotland Yard and the British government at the press conference. He condemned the 'politicised fantasy of London detectives' who had written 'drivel' in their report into Alexander Litvinenko's death.
The last hitmen the Russian state had despatched abroad to murder political opponents had been, he said, in Stalin's time.
Mr Lugovoi presented himself as totally innocent, a crusader for transparency and justice. He was even prepared, he said, to travel to London - but, crucially, only after the accusations against him are dropped. Lugovoi knows they won't be, so a trip to Britain in the near future seems out of the question.
Russia has refused to extradite him. What's more, Moscow has given the distinct impression it has been trying to protect him.
A year after Alexander Litvinenko's death, Mr Lugovoi was included in the party list of a Russian nationalist party. He was duly elected to the State Duma and received parliamentary immunity from prosecution.
"I have to say that I'm out of the coroner's investigation and I will not participate in it."
It has been claimed that Lugovoi and another former KGB agent, Dmitry Kovtun, poisoned Mr Litvinenko at the Millennium Hotel in London's Grosvenor Square.
The inquest is due to formally open on 1 May.
Last month, coroner Sir Robert Owen ruled that sensitive evidence alleged to expose Mr Litvinenko's ties to MI6 will be examined in secret.
He has said he will examine what was known of threats to Mr Litvinenko's life and also whether the Russian state was responsible for his death.
He has also agreed that a group representing Russian state prosecutors can be accepted as a party to the inquest process, which would allow it to cross-examine witnesses and examine evidence.
British Government documents that implied Russia was behind the 43-year-old's death were also revealed. Moscow has denied any involvement.
Sir Robert will also hold a hearing on Thursday, in which he will hear applications for anonymity of witnesses and will consider submissions on the inquest timetable.
The woman was racially insulted by a man before he followed her and kicked her in the torso, causing her to fall over, in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, police said.
A man was also struck on the head with a bag of ice and a bottle.
A suspect, 37 and from Milton Keynes, is being held on suspicion of racially-aggravated assault.

The 34-year-old was attacked as she returned to her car from a shop in Water Eaton Road at about 21.40 BST on 6 August, Thames Valley Police said.
The second victim, a 40-year-old man, sustained head injuries.
Both were treated in hospital and later discharged.
Goram believes Rangers can challenge for the Scottish Premiership title next season - if the squad is strengthened.
He says King has to support Warburton to allow him to sign the "four or five players" the squad will require.
"Dave King has already said in public that he has £20m to spend. He's got to come and do it now," Goram said.
"The players [Warburton] has brought in - Wes [Fotheringham], [James] Tavernier, [Martyn] Waghorn - have hit the ground running. He knows what he's doing.
"The big thing for us is if we manage to win the cup final (against Hibs) and get into Europe, because that will attract a better class of player.
"[Accrington midfielders] Josh Windass and Matt Crooks are coming already, so if we could sign another three, four or five then we've got a right chance next season.
"We've laid down a wee marker [by defeating Celtic in Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final]. That doesn't mean we're going to win it next year, but we've planted a seed and with Celtic in a bit of turmoil just now, it looks as if the tide has turned a wee bit.
"The gap's not that big. Celtic haven't been great this season, but we're not the finished article either."
Goram was impressed with Rangers' performance in the penalty shoot-out win over their Old Firm rivals.
He saw it as a reflection of Warburton's talent as a manager, and insists the Englishman will want to finish the job he has started at Ibrox rather than return south early.
"People say Celtic didn't play too well, but I thought Rangers made them look not too great," Goram added. "Rangers were brilliant. Individual performances were fantastic but as a team we had a great game. Mark Warburton got it spot on and we did a wee turn on them.
"He reminds me so much of the [former Rangers] gaffer, Walter Smith, the way he goes about it, the way he speaks. He's got that calmness, he knows what he's doing.
"His stock has gone up with what he's done this season and the way he's gone about it, but he's got a job to finish and I think he looks at it that way.
"I can't see him going anywhere next season. He'll stay, hopefully get into Europe and have a right challenge at Celtic.
"I think that's what he came for, he's brought all these players in with him and he's bringing in more, so there's no point walking away."
Coleman previously managed Fulham, Coventry and Real Sociedad.
And Ratcliffe believes that Coleman is a sensible selection to provide continuity following the loss of Speed.
"I think we need a Welshman in charge and I do not think there were too many other candidates around who could come in," Ratcliffe told BBC Sport.
"From what you hear it was a close call between Gary and Chris last time the FAW chose the manager so I think this does provide some sort of continuity as far as they are concerned.
"And from a financial point of view it makes sense as they don't have to pay compensation.
Chris goes in there with a good track record and he's got a good reputation in the game
"Chris is a good man and a proud Welshman, so he will be passionate about the job and want to carry on the good work started by Gary."
Coleman won 32 caps for Wales and was a colleague of Speed at international level.
"Chris goes in there with a good track record and he's got a good reputation in the game. He did very well for a long spell at Fulham. I know things didn't work out for him at Coventry City but financially things were tough and no-one else has been able to do too well there."
Ratcliffe, who won 59 caps for Wales, added: "Obviously there have been a lot of emotions after what happened with Gary but I think Chris is a good choice and deserves support. He has some very good, maturing young players to work with as well."
Officers were called at about 17:51 BST on Thursday to Lowther Road, near Queensbury Tube station in Stanmore.
The child died while being taken to hospital, Metropolitan Police said. London's Air Ambulance and paramedics were called to the scene.
The woman driver of the car stopped at the scene. There have been no arrests, police said.
Munster and Glasgow have both won three from four Pool 1 games but the Irish side lead the table by three points.
"It's a massive game," said full-back Murchie of the Scotstoun meeting.
"They'll come flying out at us. We've got to be more up for it than them. It's going to take our best performance of the season."
Munster have beaten Glasgow twice this season, a 16-15 success at Scotstoun in the Pro12 in December following a 38-17 home win for the Irishmen in European competition back in October.
If Gregor Townsend's team can avenge those losses and then defeat Leicester in their final pool match they will be guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals for the first time.
However, with only the five pool winners and the three best second-placed teams going through, anything less than two wins could leave the Warriors facing another European failure.
Following the 29-15 Pro12 home win over Cardiff Blues on Saturday, Murchie, 31, said: "We looked at the three-week period starting with Cardiff and ending with the two Champions Cup matches and said it could totally decide the end to our season.
"If we hadn't beaten Cardiff we'd have been under massive pressure in the Pro12.
"Now with these next two games we've got a chance to qualify from our group. If we beat Munster then Leicester, we'll make the quarters.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"There's not many times we've been in this position. We've talked about doing it for so long but now the boys are just so determined to make it happen this year."
Murchie deputised for the rested Stuart Hogg against Cardiff but after scoring two tries in the win Murchie is in no mood to relinquish the number 15 jersey.
"Stuart is a great player so when you get an opportunity, you've got to play well," he said.
"If you don't, you're probably not going to get to stay in the next week.
"We've got enough guys that we can swap things and change it round, so if you don't take your chance you'll miss out.
"I want to play in a successful team and do myself justice."
Betty Guy of Johnstown, Pembrokeshire, died in November 2011.
Her daughter Penelope John, 50, of St Dogmaels and grandson Barry Rogers, 32, of Fishguard, were arrested earlier this month.

While pleas were not entered, a date of January 2018 was laid down for the start of a three week trial.
As a rising economic powerhouse and nuclear-armed state, India has emerged as an important regional power.
But it is also tackling huge, social, economic and environmental problems.
Home to some of the world' s most ancient surviving civilizations, the Indian subcontinent - from the mountainous Afghan frontier to the jungles of Burma - is both vast and diverse in terms of its people, language and cultural traditions.
Population 1.3 billion
Area 3.1 million sq km (1.2 million sq miles), excluding Kashmir
Major languages Hindi, English and more than 20 other official languages
Major religions Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism

President: Ram Nath Kovind
Ram Nath Kovind, a Dalit - one of India's lowest castes - was picked by an electoral college to become president in July 2017.
He is a Supreme Court lawyer and has earned widespread respect as the governor of the northern state of Bihar.
India's presidency is largely ceremonial but can play a significant role if, for example, no party wins an outright majority in national elections.
Prime Minister: Narendra Modi
Hard-line Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi stormed to power on a surge of popular expectation and anger at corruption and weak growth.
Despite Mr Modi's polarising image, his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) scored an unprecedented landslide victory in the May 2014 parliamentary elections.
It was the first time in 30 years that a single party had won a parliamentary majority on its own.
Mr Modi fought his campaign on his record as chief minister of the economically successful state of Gujarat, promising to revitalise India's flagging economy.
But his time as chief minister of Gujarat was overshadowed by accusations that he did too little to stop the religious riots in 2001 which saw more than 1,000 people, mainly Muslims, killed.
India has a burgeoning media industry, with broadcast, print and digital media experiencing tremendous growth.
There are more than 180 million TV households, many of them using satellite or cable. FM radio stations are plentiful but only public All India Radio can produce news.
The press scene is lively with thousands of titles. There are more than 462 million internet users.
Some key dates in India's history:
2500 BC - India has been home to several ancient civilisations and empires.
1600s - The British arrive in India and establish trading posts under The British East India Company - by the 1850s they control most of India.
1858 - The British Raj: India comes under direct British government rule.
1920 - Independence Struggle: Nationalist leader Mahatma Gandhi heads a campaign of non-violent protest against British rule which eventually leads to independence.
1947 - Partition: India is split into two nations both gaining independence, secular but Hindu-majority India and Muslim-controlled Pakistan. Both countries fight the first of three wars over Kashmir.
1950 - India becomes a republic. The Indian National Congress becomes the dominant party.
1962 - India and China fight a brief border war.
1971 - India and Pakistan go to war over East Pakistan, leading to the creation of Bangladesh.
1974 - India conducts its first underground nuclear test.
1990s - Government initiates a programme of economic liberalisation and reform, opening up the economy to global trade and investment.
2000 - India's population tops 1 billion.
2014 - Hindu nationalist BJP party scores biggest election victory by any party in 30 years.
The 31-year-old thanked his donor's family and the medics that gave him a new face in March at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, Barcelona.
A shooting accident meant his entire facial skin and muscles - including nose and lips - needed replacing.
Doctors say he can expect to regain up to 90% of his facial functions.
He had been left unable to breathe, swallow, or talk properly after an accident five years ago.
Now the man, identified only as Oscar, still struggles to speak with clarity and will need months of physical therapy.
He told the news conference: "Friends, I want to thank the hospital coordinators, the entire medical team, the family of the donor and most of all my family who are supporting me these days."
Fergus's Medical Files
Oscar was considered for a full face transplant after nine previous operations failed.
A team of 30 experts carried out the 24-hour long operation on 20 March at the hospital in Barcelona.
Led by Dr JP Barret, the team transplanted muscles, nose, lips, maxilla, palate, all teeth, cheekbones, and the mandible by means of plastic surgery and micro-neurovascular reconstructive surgery techniques.
It was the first full face transplant performed worldwide, as the 10 operations performed previously had been only partial.
The first successful face transplant was performed in France in 2005 on Isabelle Dinoire, a 38-year-old woman who had been mauled by her dog.
Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward following the incident, which happened at 17:40 on Friday.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service brought the blaze under control after the evacuation.
Police said a 63-year-old woman was taken to hospital but later released without treatment.
Although the islands are not in the EU, ships operating near EU coasts must comply with tighter rules from January.
The new regulations are designed to lower the amount of sulphur emitted into the atmosphere.
This is achieved by using more expensive fuel or fitting exhaust "scrubbers".
Condor Ferries, which operates all ferries to the Channel Islands, said its high-speed car and passenger vessels already complied with the new rules.
However, the company's freight vessels, the Commodore Clipper and Commodore Goodwill, will switch fuel in January until they have scrubbers fitted in the autumn.
The cleaner fuel, marine gas oil, is 40% more expensive than the intermediate fuel oil it replaces.
Steve Champion-Smith, Condor's freight director, said fitting the scrubbers would cost millions of pounds, meaning freight charges will rise.
Martin Langlois, general manager of Ferryspeed, a freight company in Guernsey, said the news was another pressure on business.
The province's Home Minister Sarfraz Bugti said unidentified militants boarded the vehicles travelling to Karachi on Friday evening.
Passengers were then ordered off and shot dead, officials said.
Balochistan has seen a long-running conflict between separatists and security forces.
No group has yet said it carried out the attack on the two buses, which happened near the town of Mastung, south of the provincial capital, Quetta.
"The armed men were wearing the uniforms of the security forces," Mr Bugti told Reuters.
An operation was launched after reports of the incident emerged, and at least five people have been rescued, officials say.
However, the number of passengers abducted from on board remains unclear, Dawn newspaper reports.
Fighting is ongoing in the area between the attackers and security forces.
Those killed were mostly ethnic Pashtuns, a local official told the BBC. They are natives of northern Balochistan.
While separatists have regularly attacked government and military targets, attacks on Pashtuns are a rarity, the BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says.
He says officials believe this may be a tactical move by insurgents to put pressure on security forces who have recently carried out several "search and kill" operations against insurgents in the region.
Rebels in Balochistan have been fighting for greater autonomy from Islamabad, and a bigger share of the region's natural resources.

Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, Liverpool levelled the tie on aggregate after Bruno Soriano's early own goal.
Daniel Sturridge, left out of the team in Spain, then put the hosts in command with a low finish after good work from the excellent Roberto Firmino.
After Villarreal's Victor Ruiz was sent off, Adam Lallana made the win safe.

Ruiz received a second booking after stepping on Lallana's foot in a game where Liverpool's energetic pressing ruffled their opponents.
Klopp, who took over from Brendan Rodgers in October and celebrated wildly with supporters after the final whistle, has now taken the Reds to a second final of the season, following defeat by Manchester City in the League Cup final.
They will face Europa League holders Sevilla in Basel on 18 May, after they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1 to win their semi-final 5-3 on aggregate.
Despite sitting nine points and 19 goals behind fourth-placed Manchester City in the Premier League, Liverpool would qualify for next season's Champions League should they win in Switzerland, representing a fine return for Klopp in such a short spell in charge.
On another memorable night at Anfield, Liverpool reached their first European final since losing the 2007 Champions League showpiece to AC Milan.
While it was less dramatic than the quarter-final win over Klopp's former team Borussia Dortmund, the players seemed galvanised by an electric rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone before kick-off as home fans paid tribute to those who died in the Hillsborough disaster, following last week's inquest verdict where 96 fans were found to be unlawfully killed.
The early opener came after Nathaniel Clyne crossed to the back post and Firmino put it back into the danger area. Sturridge missed the ball, but Bruno nudged into his own net.
Boosted by the goal, the hosts pressed Villarreal to distraction with James Milner, Philippe Coutinho and Lallana indefatigable in midfield.
Added to the poise offered by the returning Emre Can, who has been out injured for the past three weeks, and the trickery of Firmino, the visitors could not cope.
Sturridge, who has finally been able to enjoy a run of games after a shocking injury record, scored what appeared to be his most important Liverpool goal to put Klopp's side ahead in the tie.
Lallana then sparked more renditions of Liverpool's famous anthem when he tucked in from close range after more enterprise from Firmino.

Villarreal, who have already reached next season's elite European competition by securing fourth place in La Liga, came up against a pacy team which did not let them settle.
Marcelino's side are well drilled and operate in a 4-4-2 formation, but they were overwhelmed in midfield and began to lose their tempers as Liverpool's superior numbers started to count.
Former Tottenham striker Roberto Soldado reacted to one Dejan Lovren challenge by swiping the Liverpool defender's feet away, and was later booked for chopping down Coutinho.
Former Manchester City forward Denis Suarez was lucky not to follow him after berating referee Viktor Kassai and, when Ruiz received a second booking, there appeared no hope for a side who were only promoted back to La Liga three seasons ago.
Once Simon Mignolet parried Mario Gaspar's early shot and Jonathan dos Santos fired over, the Liverpool goalkeeper had little to do.
Villarreal, who had been on a 12-game unbeaten run in the competition, have now reached three Europa League semi-finals, previously losing twice to the eventual winners.
Liverpool will hope they can continue the Spanish side's unfortunate record.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, speaking to BT Sport: "Wonderful night, brilliant game from my side. What a performance. The first half an hour was a big emotion. It was great. The last 15 minutes of the first half we lost patience. The second-half plan was to keep going with the emotional football but using the brain a bit more and in the end, brilliant.
"Everyone spoke a lot about this team before I came here. It was all about quality and not good transfers. I came here because I thought they had a nice squad and now we are in the final."
Villarreal boss Marcelino: "Things didn't work out how we had planned them. It hit us hard conceding that early goal, it was a hammer blow.
"It was tough against an opponent who played with a huge amount of intensity, maybe on the margins of the rules at times, but it was allowed.
"Liverpool played better than us but for all their superiority they didn't create too many chances. When we got to the sending off it was pretty much game over by then."
Liverpool are at home to Watford in the Premier League on Sunday as they aim to secure a place in the Europa League, at least, next season.

Edinburgh-based Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland (RCAHMS) was set up in 1908.
The Queen, whose great grandfather Edward VII established the body, has been sent its final report, which gives a history of its work.
RCAHMS will become part of new body Historic Environment Scotland.
Historic Scotland manages sites across Scotland including Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle, Skara Brae in Orkney, Linlithgow Palace and Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness.
Historic Environment Scotland was established by the Historic Environment Scotland Act 2014.
RCAHMS' first report involved a survey of Habchester fort in the Scottish Borders.
Since 1908, it has gone on to record thousands of historic places and produce hundreds of books and reports.
In recent years, the commission has documented the remains of a Viking shipyard on Skye, historical sites on St Kilda and taken thousands of images of the Scottish cemetery in Calcutta, India.
RCAHMS also holds one of the largest and collections of aerial imagery in the world.
Among the tens of millions of images there are 1.6 million of Scotland, including some of the earliest aerial photographs ever taken of the country.
In its final report, RCAHMS addresses the Queen.
It said: "Our work has always been driven by an idea - in its simplest form, that the built and historic environment of Scotland must be recorded and researched to ensure that its exceptional cultural value is understood and protected by current and future generations.
"This report, our last as a Royal Commission, documents how we have pursued this idea for over a century."
Speaking to BBC Wales, Mr Bryant said someone with "resilience" was needed after the party's election defeat.
"She has that strength of personality that I think we're going to need in these next few years as we try to rebuild the party," he said.
His support for Cooper comes after Ed Miliband stepped down and sparked a Labour leadership bid.
A number of party members have announced they are in the running to lead the party, including Liz Kendall, Andy Burnham, and Mary Creagh.
Rising Labour star Chuka Umunna also threw his hat in the ring but has since withdrawn his bid, blaming the level of press scrutiny upon his family.
Best known for its part in bringing the internet into being, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency has more recently brought engineers together to tackle what it considers to be "grand challenges".
These competitions try to accelerate research into issues it believes deserve greater attention - they gave rise to serious work on autonomous vehicles and saw the first stumbling steps towards robots that could help in disaster zones.
Next is a Cyber Grand Challenge that aims to develop software smart enough to spot and seal vulnerabilities in other programs before malicious hackers even know they exist.
"Currently, the process of creating a fix for a vulnerability is all people, and it's a process that's reactive and slow," said Mike Walker, head of the Cyber Grand Challenge at Darpa.
This counted as a grand challenge, he said, because of the sheer complexity of modern software and the fundamental difficulty one computer had in understanding what another was doing - a problem first explored by computer pioneer Alan Turing.
He said the need for quick fixes would become more pressing as the world became populated by billions of small, smart net-connected devices - the so-called internet of things.
"The idea is that these devices will be used in such quantities that without automation we just will not be able to field any effective network defence," he said.
The cyber challenge climaxes this week at the Def Con hacker convention, where seven teams will compete to see whose software is the best hacker.
But automated, smart digital defences are not limited to Darpa's cyber arena.
Software clever enough to spot a virus without human aid is already being widely used.
A lot of what anti-virus software did had to be automatic, said Darren Thomson, chief technology officer at Symantec, because of the sheer number of malicious programs the bad guys had created.
There are now thought to be more than 500 million worms, Trojans and other viruses in circulation. Millions more appear every day.
That automation helped, said Mr Thomson, because traditional anti-virus software was really bad at handling any malware it had not seen before.
"Only about 30-40% of all the things we protect people against are caught by these programs," he said.
For the rest, said Mr Thomson, security companies relied on increasingly sophisticated software that could generalise from the malware it did know to spot the malicious code it did not.
Added to this are behavioural systems that keep an eye on programs as they execute and sound the alarm if they do something unexpected.
Some defence systems put programs they are suspicious about in a virtual container and then use different techniques to try to make the code "detonate" and reveal its malicious intent.
"We simulate keystrokes and make it look like it is interacting with users to make the malware believe it's really being used," Mr Thomson said.
The rise of big data has also helped spur a step towards security software that can help improve the chances of catching the 60-70% of malicious threats that traditional anti-virus can miss.
"Machine learning helps you look at the core DNA of the malware families rather than the individual cases," said Tomer Weingarten, founder and chief executive of security company SentinelOne.
The approach had emerged from the data science world, said Mr Weingarten, and was proving useful because of the massive amount of data companies quickly gathered when they started to monitor PCs for malicious behaviour.
"There is a lot of data, and a lot of it is repetitive," he said.
"Those are the two things you need to build a very robust learning algorithm that you can teach what's bad and what's good.
"If you want to do something malicious, you have to act, and that is something that will be forever anomalous to the normal patterns."
Automating this anomaly detection is essential because it would be impossible for a human, or even a lot of humans, to do the same in a reasonable amount of time.
And it is not just PCs that are better protected thanks to machine learning.
When it comes to large companies and governments, cyber-thieves are keen to lurk on their internal networks while seeking out the really juicy stuff such as customer databases, designs for new products or details of contract negotiations and bids.
It was another situation in which the machines outstripped their human masters, said Justin Fier, director of cyber-intelligence at security company Dark Trace.
"You can take a large dataset and have the machine learn and then use advanced mathematics to pull out the needle in the haystack that does not belong," he said.
"Sometimes, it will get the subtle anomaly that you might not catch with the human eye."
However, said Mr Fier, it would be wrong to think of machine learning as true AI.
It was a step towards that kind of approach, he said, but regularly needed human intelligence to make the final decision about some of the events the smart software picked out.
And, he said, the usefulness of machine learning might not lie entirely with those who used it for defence.
"We had one incident in which we caught malware that was just watching users and logging their habits," he said.
"We have to assume that it was trying to determine the most suitable way to exfiltrate data without triggering alarms.
"Where the malware starts to use machine learning is when it's going to get really interesting."
As a continent, it depends less on aid now than it did in the past. Instead many countries which make up Africa are increasingly being seen as a global partner, not a minority shareholder in generating wealth, fighting terrorism and climate change.
Mr Obama made it clear that such a partnership demanded recognition, dignity and respect.
He argued that, in return, African nations needed to embrace the principles of equality, meritocracy and opportunity for all. Even if at times it grated with "the old ways of doing things" or challenged traditional beliefs.
Africa is a continent whose 54 nations are rich in their diversity. But it's a continent full of promise and contradictions.
Obama’s trip to Kenya: 12 things
Savouring Kenya's 'exports'
The scholarship that changed the world
How the US and China compete for Africa
Take for instance South Sudan, It's just four years old, and already is paralysed by civil war.
President Obama complained that neither of its leaders had "any interest in sparing their people from suffering" after 18 months of hostilities, following a military rebellion.
On the sidelines of meetings in Ethiopia, he sought to ratchet up pressure on regional friends to push for a peace deal by a 17 August deadline - or run the risk of international sanctions.
Yet situated across the border from South Sudan - the world's newest state - lie Kenya and Ethiopia. These two nations were deliberately chosen for this trip to showcase the continent's dynamic potential. Tantalisingly close, they represent a promise of what could be.
On global security and trade, Mr Obama delivered a ringing endorsement. Brand Africa, he suggested, is becoming a force to be reckoned with as African troops are increasingly being called upon to help settle African conflicts from the al-Shabab threat in Somalia to the brutal sectarian fighting in Central African Republic.
Stepping up co-operation with the US will be rewarded with closer intelligence ties, training and kit. And that relationship is only likely to get "deeper", the president said, as the years go by.
On trade and entrepreneurship Mr Obama spoke of the "power of youth", urging leaders in both countries to create opportunities for young people to build on the economic progress achieved thus far.
With a demographic time bomb ticking in the background, he knows that millions of youths without jobs is not good for the economy and not good for peace.
Successful Kenyan businessman Vimal Shah, whose quiet rise to the top I've observed over the past decade, told me the key message he took away from Mr Obama's visit was that Africa needed to be in the driving seat as it navigated the economic tug-of-war between China and the US.
"It's important to take charge of our own destiny and become credible with governance and investment destinations," he said. He added that Mr Obama restored Kenya's "can do" philosophy.
But the US president also used the Africa tour as an opportunity to deliver some uncomfortable messages. Conspicuous by their absence were many heads of state at the Chinese built African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa - maybe that was just as well.
In what was the strongest performance on tour, the president seemed like a man with nothing to lose. With just a little over a year in office to go he knew he could perhaps be more bold, despite diplomatic difficulties he would have to navigate carefully.
They included accountability in Kenya, with Deputy President William Ruto still facing charges at the International Criminal Court.
And in Ethiopia, worries about the erosion of democratic freedoms, following elections earlier this year and fears about the jailing of journalists.
By speaking out so openly ordinary people may feel "empowered" by Mr Obama's speech, given permission almost to do the same - especially in countries where freedom of speech is not guaranteed.
So when Barack Obama told the Ethiopian leadership that political opponents should not be branded as terrorists and critical journalists should not be jailed, my taxi driver sat up and listened. And so did millions of others, no doubt.
He did it before in Nairobi. When he warned that "corruption is tolerated because that's how it's always been done", Kenyans paused.
Like an indiscrete guest at a posh dinner party, Mr Obama laid it bare. Yet with every word of criticism came a gesture to lessen the blow.
The US president cited America's current struggles with race and the debate over the confederate flag to show that in his country, too, they still faced challenges with democracy.
And his words of censure were offered "as a friend". Not as an outsider standing in judgement.
So, for some Kenyans like Ory Okolloh, a governance and tech specialist well known for her contribution to national debates, Mr Obama's frank talk was refreshing.
And the president's African tour, with all the promise and potential it inspired, reminded her "of what we could be when we are at our best".
A good many Obama watchers had feared that the fight against terrorism would eclipse the hard messages for good governance during the the president's farewell Africa tour.
They feared his visit would somehow give credibility to badly run states.
But Mr Obama pulled no punches, when he accused presidents of outstaying their terms, and cited Burundi as an example of leaders feeling "they were above the law".
But rights groups believe the "real test" of Mr Obama's visit will be whether policies change long-term.
"If not," says Leslie Lefkow, deputy Africa director of Human Rights Watch, "then Obama's visit may have simply endorsed the leadership of two countries" which she describes as having "worrying human rights situations".
That's where strong institutions could step in.
Mr Obama made it clear that America would not be a lone voice rebuking its African friends when they strayed from the path of democracy.
He said he expected African leaders to do the same, through the African Union. For many years it's been slammed by critics as being nothing more than a "talking shop".
Perhaps the test of its mettle will be how it responds to the pressing troubles in South Sudan.

Tyler Walker, an 18-year-old striker who made his debut last season, has played eight times this term, scoring once to double his overall goal tally.
That is one more than Des Walker, who won 59 England caps from 1988-93, managed in a 858-game career.
"He is a more talented player than I was. I only had to kick people," Walker senior told BBC East Midlands Today.
"I was not bad at kicking people and he is a creative player and they are the talented ones. If I start telling him how to score goals he will start laughing."
Walker junior has only started five games, from a total of 15 appearances.
But he has impressed his manager Dougie Freedman and his father's popularity at the City Ground has meant the home fans are already singing his name.
"When I hear Forest fans singing 'He is one of our own', that always hits me hard because he is one of their own," Des, 49, said.
"I was born in London, but he is born here, lives here and loves the club. They appreciate that, so for them to give that back is amazing."
As well as his father having played for Forest, Tyler Walker's mother, grandmother, auntie and brother have all worked for the club.
Walker senior, who played 408 matches for Forest during two spells at the club totalling nearly 12 years, says it was not his own playing career that inspired his son to become a professional.
"It was David Beckham and Michael Owen who did that," the former Forest, Sampdoria and Sheffield Wednesday defender revealed.
"I wanted [my children] to be doctors or lawyers but that was never going to happen. He spent seven or eight hours a day smashing up my house playing football and that's why he has got where he has today. He has carved out his own niche." | The Liberal Democrats want to change the law and allow Premier League and Championship clubs to introduce safe standing at stadiums.

The Conservative Party said they would be part of a new Board of Trade to help exports and attract foreign investment.
The UK's first Board of Trade has its roots in the 17th Century and through several transformations became the Department of Trade and Industry.
Both Labour and the Liberal Democrats said the prime minister's plan was outdated.
Under the Conservative plans, the trade commissioners would be based "overseas in nine different regions, determined by markets rather than national borders, to ensure UK trade policy is guided by local experience and expertise".
The nine regions were not disclosed.
The Board of Trade would bring together leading business figures and politicians to help lead trade delegations, boost exports and "make sure the benefits and prosperity of Brexit are spread equally across the country".
Mrs May, who plans to take Britain out of the European Union's tariff-free single market, has said Brexit will allow Britain to seek bilateral trade deals with "old friends and new allies".
The body traces its roots back to the 17th Century, formally coming into existence in 1696 when King William III appointed eight paid commissioners to promote trade and advise on Britain's colonies.
It was eventually merged with other government departments and stopped meeting regularly in the 19th Century.
The role of president of the Board of Trade, which has been held by major political figures including Winston Churchill and Harold Wilson, was revived by Conservative minister Michael Heseltine in 1992.
The title is currently held by International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, but the board - as originally set up in the 17th Century - is no longer in operation.
Liam Fox, the International Trade Secretary, said: "There is a world of opportunity out there for the United Kingdom as we leave the European Union, but only Theresa May and the Conservatives have the plan and the ability to get the right deal for Britain."
But Lib Dem shadow first secretary Alistair Carmichael said: "No number of fancy trade commissioners jetting around the world will save us from crippling tariffs when we leave the single market."
He described the plan as pointless.
"If we needed any further proof that the Conservatives have no new ideas, it's this desperate attempt to apply 17th Century solutions to 21st Century challenges.
"This plan is so outdated it's probably been written on parchment by Jacob Rees-Mogg."
Labour has said it would seek tariff-free access to the EU single market after Brexit.
A Labour Party spokesperson said: "Rather than talk up hypothetical trade deals reliant on Boris Johnson's diplomatic skills to negotiate, Labour will focus above all else on securing strong trading arrangements with the EU and delivering the investment for our regions the Tories have failed to make in seven years."
Bill Esterson, Labour's shadow trade minister, tweeted: "Theresa May plans to revive 17th century approach to trade. What next, communication by carrier pigeon?" | Theresa May plans to set up a network of nine trade commissioners across the world to boost trade after Brexit. | 40,167,979 | 623 | 26 | false |
Iran spoke of "serious issues" that must be resolved, while one Western diplomat cited "considerable gaps".
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has arrived to join the talks, and reports say the discussions could extend into the weekend.
The deal could see Iran curb uranium enrichment for some sanctions relief.
However, US politicians have indicated they will push forward with a bill proposing more sanctions against Iran next month if the talks fail.
US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would support "broadening the scope" of current oil and trade sanctions.
P5+1 wants Iran to:
Iran wants the P5+1 to:
Q&A: Iran nuclear crisis
Iran's nuclear sites
Analysis: Can gaps be bridged?
Both Republican and Democrat congressmen say the threat of sanctions will bolster the negotiating position of the world powers.
President Barack Obama had earlier urged Congress not to promote the bill while talks were going on.
Iran insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, but some world powers suspect it is seeking a nuclear weapons capability.
Talks extended?
EU foreign policy chief Baroness Catherine Ashton is leading the talks for the world powers.
She has begun a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif.
The Geneva talks, which are currently scheduled to conclude on Friday, involve Iran and representatives of the so-called P5+1 - UN Security Council permanent members US, UK, France, China and Russia, plus Germany.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Friday that negotiations were "positive", but said meetings were likely to continue into Saturday.
US Secretary of State John Kerry may join later.
After Thursday's talks, Mr Araqchi was quoted by the Mehr news agency as saying "serious issues remain a source of difference".
One senior Western diplomat told Reuters: "Considerable gaps remain, and we have to narrow the gaps. Some issues really need to be clarified.
"I sensed a real commitment... from both sides. Will it happen? We will see. But, as always, the devil is in the details."
One US source said simply: "It is very hard."
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told France 2 television: "This deal will only be possible if it has a firm base."
However, one diplomat told Reuters there was still a "very high probability" that foreign ministers would join the talks at some point.
The Geneva meeting follows a previous round of talks earlier this month.
The US has said any interim agreement would see the bulk of international and US sanctions targeting Iran's nuclear programme remain in place.
Mr Obama said sanctions relief would be worth between $6bn and $7bn.
The essence of the deal would involve Iran making no more advances in its nuclear programme and agreeing to "more vigorous inspections", he said.
Analysts say a major sticking point is Iran's insistence on its right to enrich uranium - a process that yields material used to manufacture fuel for power stations, but can also be used for weapons.
Western diplomats are also concerned about a reactor Iran is building at Arak, which disrupted the first round of talks.
Before the talks opened, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran would not step back "one iota" from its nuclear rights.
He also referred to Israel as a "rabid dog".
Israel has vehemently opposed the proposed deal and says it will not be obliged to honour it.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is in Moscow, said the ayatollah's speech represented the "real Iran".

It will be written and directed by Gurinder Chadha, who also made the 2002 movie starring Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley.
The musical will retell the story of teenager Jess, a Punjabi Sikh who loves football but is forbidden to play by her parents.
It will open at the Phoenix Theatre on 24 June, with previews from 15 May.
Chadha has written the script for the show with Paul Mayeda Berges, who also worked on the film.
"Developing Bend It Like Beckham for the stage has been the most enjoyable creative process of my career so far," Chadha said.
"It was always my intention to build on the film and to present its themes and storylines to live audiences in an exciting new dynamic way.
"I believe we are presenting a totally new kind of musical - part West End, part London Punjabi, but whole-heartedly British."
The production's music has been written by Howard Goodall whose previous musicals include Girlfriends, The Dreaming and Love Story. Lyrics are by Charles Hart, who counts The Phantom of the Opera and Aspect of Love among his credits. Casting has yet to be announced.
Bend It Like Beckham was a box office and critical hit when it was released in cinemas, launching the career of Knightley.
It was nominated for a Bafta and Golden Globe in 2003 and went on to win a British Comedy Award for best film. | A musical version of the hit British comedy film Bend It Like Beckham is to open in the West End next year. | 29,846,764 | 321 | 25 | false |
However, both economies are recovering, and well enough that there's an expectation of interest rate rises on the horizon.
The normal pattern is for prices to rise alongside economic output. So when the economy is growing, so is demand for goods and services and thus their prices.
It's not just GDP, but employment is also expanding. The UK has a record high number of people in work, while US unemployment is falling and expected to recover to the pre-recession rate of 5%, according to the Federal Reserve.
There was one other period that required a new term to describe an unusual time.
In the 1970s, stagflation referred to high inflation while output was falling - precisely the opposite of what is happening today, but similarly goes against normal economic relationships.
The reason then, as now, is oil price shocks.
In the 1970s, two wars in the Middle East caused oil prices to shoot up and raise prices, which remained elevated despite slowing economic activity.
Since the shocks were external, and there was little capacity for economies like the US to respond domestically, the result was the unusual combination of sustained high inflation during a recession.
In the past few years, the UK also saw high inflation despite the worst recession in decades. You may recall that the Bank of England routinely described it as imported price pressure. The governor said that high energy and commodity prices were raising costs and there was zero domestically-generated inflation.
Now we have the opposite - there are price movements, but these stem from cheaper imported energy. Oil prices have plummeted since last summer. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) says the UK's record low 0% CPI has been driven by energy prices (motor fuels) falling 16.6% in the past year to February. It's also down to food prices, another sizeable imported commodity, which fell by 3.4%.
This means, though, that when volatile elements like energy and food are stripped out of CPI, core inflation is still positive at 1.2%. So, prices are rising and the economy isn't truly deflationary.
Still, factory gate prices, or the prices of goods sold by UK manufacturers, are seeing deflation, falling by 1.8% from a year earlier. That eventually feeds through to what we pay in stores. But, so many goods are imported, the more important price indicators are most likely to come from abroad. For instance, China is experiencing low price pressures that will be exported.
A little breathing space in terms of the costs of energy, food, and consumer goods is welcome after years of high inflation and below-trend growth.
The big question is how worried we should be about deflation. The Bank of England says that any deflation will be temporary. In other words, it's unlikely to be 15 years of falling prices as in Japan.
In any case, for now, falling prices while the economy is growing well may warrant a new term. Suggestions are welcome!
"We cannot say this terrorist group has been exterminated," said Defence Minister Jakke Valakivi. "It is much weakened, of course, but it continues to operate."
Counter-terror chief Jose Baella said the left-wing rebels still have some 350 members, and 80 fighters.
Shining Path guerillas waged a bloody insurgency in Peru from 1980.
When the then-leader, known as Comrade Artemio, was captured in 2012, President Ollanta Humala declared the army's mission against the Shining Path accomplished.
Last week, the Peruvian army rescued 39 people, mostly children, from a farm where the rebels kept them as slave workers.
Some of the children had been born in the camp, and were fathered by rebels.
One woman told reporters they had been living and working there for 30 years.
The camp is in the Apurimac-Ene and Mantaro River Valley, an area known by its Spanish language acronym, Vraem.
The biggest blow to the Shining Path, or Sendero Luminoso, took place in 1992, with the arrest of its founder, Abimael Guzman.
Almost 70,000 people had died or disappeared in more than a decade of internal conflict.
The rebels then dispersed into small bands, who got more involved in drug trafficking.
The main faction was led by Florindo Eleuterio Flores, alias Comrade Artemio, who was arrested in February 2012.
The group is now led by the brothers Victor and Jorge Quispe Palomino, who have been indicted in the United States for drug trafficking offences.
Three-year-old Cheryl Grimmer went missing from a shower block at a New South Wales beach in 1970.
The Goodyear family gave a statement in 1970 and police, who believe they can still help with inquiries, launched an appeal to trace them.
The Nottinghamshire family, who said they were "surprised" officers had not found them, are contacting detectives.
Cheryl, originally from Bristol, disappeared from Fairy Meadow beach in Wollongong, a city south of Sydney, on 12 January 1970.
Despite a massive search, police failed to make a breakthrough and the case has remained one of Australia's longest-running mysteries.
Detectives doubt Cheryl's body will ever be found.
However, after the case was re-examined last year, a new clue emerged that led to the arrest of a 63-year-old man from Melbourne.
He has now been charged with Cheryl's abduction and murder.
New South Wales Police said they had been making inquiries with authorities in Britain to find Peter Goodyear, then aged 37, his wife Mavis and daughters Karen, aged six, and Janette, aged five, who were living at the Fairy Meadow Commonwealth Hostel at the time.
Police said attempts to find the Goodyears had "not been successful".
However, the BBC - which was inundated with responses to the appeal that was launched on Thursday - has since found the family in a Nottinghamshire village.
Mavis Goodyear, whose husband has since died, did not want to be interviewed, but told the BBC she had contacted the police concerning the case and felt "surprised" officers had not found them.
She said the family was unhappy with the publicity and felt police should have made more attempts to contact them before making an appeal in the media.
In response, a New South Wales Police spokesman confirmed they now had the details for the Goodyear family, and said they had tried to locate the family earlier "through the regular policing channels".
"Through the public appeal, we have successfully located the family and will be discussing the case with them when appropriate," the spokesman added.

They appear to show a huge burning meteor flying through the night sky.
The green fireball is seen falling from the sky and burning up, until it disappears.
It was seen by lots of people across the capital city Bangkok and other areas.
The Thai Astronomical Society believe it could be a "fireball" because of it's brightness.
The explosions happened just before midnight local time (21:00 GMT). The first hit the Babylon Hotel, near the Tigris river, and the second struck the Ishtar, formerly the Sheraton Hotel.
The Reuters news agency said at least 30 people were injured in the blasts.
A night-time curfew lasting 12 years was lifted in Baghdad in February.
The BBC's Orla Guerin, in Baghdad, tweeted that gunfire was also heard.
Police said they were trying to defuse a third car bomb they found in the Babylon Hotel car park.
The two hotels are regularly busy on Thursday nights and had been renovated in recent years.
In 2010, the hotels were the target of co-ordinated car bombs that killed more than 30 people.
The UK government gave approval after imposing "significant new safeguards" to protect national security.
Welsh Economy Secretary Ken Skates called it "excellent news", saying the plant should use steel from Port Talbot and other producers in Wales.
Welsh Conservative leader Andrew RT Davies said the plant would play a part in "turbo-charging" the steel industry.
Earlier in September, Neath-based Express Reinforcements was named as the preferred bidder for a 200,000-tonne order of steel for Hinkley Point worth about £100m.
In July, incoming Prime Minister Theresa May announced a delay in approval for the £18bn project pending a review.
It focused on concerns about the high cost of energy from the proposed plant and the security implications of Chinese involvement alongside the French energy firm EDF.
When approval was announced on Thursday, Mr Skates welcomed the decision as "excellent news for the nuclear sector across the UK" providing a "much needed boost to the supply chain".
"The decision could also play an important part in supporting our steel industry in the UK, a major part of which is located here in Wales," he said.
"I am calling on the UK government to make sure it is supplied by steel from Port Talbot and our other steel producers here in Wales, and that opportunities for the wider UK supply chain are maximised.
First Minister Carwyn Jones said a range of businesses could benefit from the announcement.
"We are looking at businesses in Wales to act as suppliers and contractors potentially for Hinkley and that's something we want to explore."
Mr Davies hailed the decision as a "huge plus for the UK and for Wales".
"Given the proximity of the Somerset site to Wales, there are clear opportunities here for employment and businesses, with up to 26,000 jobs and apprenticeships being created," he said.
"We're already aware of big orders for steel emanating from this project, and we are hopeful that Hinkley will play its part in turbocharging Wales' steel economy.
"Now is the time for our highly skilled workforce to seize on the opportunity to be part of one of the biggest construction projects in 70 years."
UK Labour leadership contender and Pontypridd MP Owen Smith welcomed the go-ahead but criticised the UK government's delay in giving approval.
"The Tories' dithering over this decision has created jobs uncertainty and been deeply damaging to Britain's reputation as a country in which to invest.
"A better handled process may well have delivered a fairer price for the taxpayer.
"Britain needs a robust and credible industrial strategy that creates jobs, growth and the green economy of the future."
Analysis by Sarah Dickins, BBC Wales economics correspondent
The challenge for Wales is to grab the opportunities that lie with this huge 10-year investment.
But if Wales can win business building the UK's first nuclear power plant in 20 years it could help the Welsh economy for the long term.
EDF Energy has a reputation for its commitment to local firms. Next to those companies from the south west of England, south Wales is next in line to benefit - and it has the skills.
Already some work is in the pipeline, with Celsa in Cardiff. It makes recycled steel from scrap, which helps the carbon footprint of the project.
Steel from here will go to Express Reinforcements in Neath, which is already involved in the CrossRail project in London, and will be supplying Hinkley C.
But Helen Kane, chairwoman of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Wales, says the Welsh Government must make sure Wales has enough of the right skills to embrace the "massive opportunities" of Hinkley.
"It will take up a huge resource but also give us new skills and I've heard of some very specialist skills, professionally and in the trades - and we'll learn lots from that," she said.
"We've been gearing up but we also have a skills gap of mammoth proportions.
"We lost 400,000 in construction in the last recession and they haven't come back and we need to move our skills up a few gears and we need help from the Welsh Government."
On the ground there is a real fear that the best workers will be tempted away to work on Hinkley C and that will damage smaller firms.
What is undeniable is that the Hinkley C project will have a clear impact on the economy of south Wales in a number of ways.
But with a new nuclear plant planned for Wyfla on Anglesey, the expertise learnt working on Hinkley could help all of Wales in the long term.
Horizon, the firm planning to build a new nuclear power station at Wylfa, Anglesey, said approval for Hinkley was "good news for the country's security of supply and clean energy needs".
Chief executive Duncan Hawthorne said: "The emphasis must now be on delivering the government's vision of a wider nuclear programme in the UK and we remain focused on continuing to make strong progress with our lead Wylfa Newydd project.
"This includes clearing our tried and tested reactor technology for deployment in the UK, consulting across north Wales on our plans and the huge economic opportunities they will deliver, and working with government on a deal that delivers at a fair and acceptable price for all."

The Championship side led when Hal Robson-Kanu rolled his marker to fire a powerful shot into the roof of the net.
The lead was doubled within four minutes, Matej Vydra bundling in Stephen Quinn's cross from close range.
Romaine Sawyers and Oliver Norwood hit the bar for each side after the break before Danny Williams ran clear to finish and Vydra headed a fourth.

Reading - beaten by winners Arsenal at the semi-final stage last season - survived an early scare when Tom Bradshaw had a shot deflected just wide for the visitors.
But their superior quality told against their League One opponents, with Williams impressively crafting space for Quinn to create the second four minutes before the break.
Brian McDermott's side - 15th in the Championship - have just two league wins from 11 matches and will take a welcome boost in confidence ahead of Tuesday's trip to Ipswich.
Walsall kept an unchanged side for the trip to the Madejski despite being third in their division and with a trip to Doncaster on Tuesday.
Sawyers' strike against the bar was a moment where they could have kept the tie alive, but while they had much of the possession, it was the home side who created the more telling openings and they deserved their place in Sunday's draw.
Meanwhile, Saddlers goalkeeper Neil Etheridge was stretchered off on 78 minutes, with what appeared at first to be a serious knee injury, to be replaced by his deputy Craig MacGillivray.
But Walsall head coach Sean O'Driscoll's initial post-match assessment was that the injury is not as bad as first feared.
"I don't think it's anything structural," he told BBC WM.
Walsall head coach Sean O'Driscoll told BBC WM 95.6:

"We said before the game that this would be our most difficult game just because they're really functional.
"They put pressure on our back line and it was just a case of when to play and when not to play.
"We got caught a couple of times and as the game progressed we realised we couldn't overplay in the middle of the park, and when we got the ball forward we were a threat."
CCTV covering the station is being viewed by officers following the attack in the early hours of Saturday.
Forensics officers have also conducted an examination of the scene.
Det Chief Insp Mark Cleland, who is leading the enquiry, said: "We are determined to do everything we can to identify the person responsible."
He is appealing for witnesses. Call British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or by texting 61016, quoting reference 240 of 20/06/15. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
According to figures from the sports business unit at Deloitte, clubs' total gross spending in the now-closed transfer window was £1.165bn.
The spending spree has been sparked by a new £5bn three-year television deal, which begins this season.
Each club can expect to receive between £30m and £50m from the Premier League for 2016-17 as a result of the TV deal.
"Obviously a key catalyst of this spending is the TV rights, the money is there and the clubs are spending it," Dan Jones, head of the sports business unit at Deloitte, tells the BBC.
But he also points to other factors, including the chase for Champions League places.
"There is an increased competitive tension between the big clubs that was not there before, that is leading to competition in the transfer market," he says.
"There are only four Champions League qualification spots, but you have six teams chasing those slots; the two Manchester clubs, the two north London clubs [Arsenal and Tottenham], Chelsea and Liverpool.
"That tension has been accentuated by the emergence of Leicester City last season. If you have a similar wildcard team appearing this season, then you are looking at four teams from seven fighting for those precious qualifying places."
Mr Jones said another reason for the spending spree could be the fact that there are new managers at Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City, and also a fairly recent appointment at Liverpool.
"New managers tend to rebuild their teams in their own way, and that invariably leads to activity in the transfer market," he says.
Meanwhile, another sports finance expert points to further reasons for the spending increase in recent years.
"TV money is obviously one big factor, but there are other issues, including the number of wealthy foreign investors who have come in and taken over English top clubs, such as at Manchester City," Harry Philp of Portland Advisers tells the BBC.
"In addition, the fact we have just come out of a major tournament, Euro 2016 in France, also means that more players will have been in the 'shop window' to attract the attentions of Premier League clubs with money to spend."
Summer transfer spending by top flight English clubs rose between 2006-07 and 2008-09 before dropping off for the next two seasons as the effects of the economic downturn hit.
A tightening of club finances and credit availability combined to dampen down the Premier League transfer market at the turn of the decade.
However, a plethora of lucrative domestic and overseas TV deals has fuelled an upwards spiral in player spending by Premier League clubs.
Competition for broadcasting rights in the UK has been driven in recent years by the entry of BT Sports into the market in 2012, and their challenge to Sky Sports' dominant position.
The biggest transfer deal of the recent summer transfer market has been Manchester United's signing of former player Paul Pogba from Juventus for £89m.
And according to Mr Philp, the transfer spending will continue to increase over the coming seasons.
"The logic is that the next cycle of domestic and international TV rights deals for the Premier League will also bring in more cash than the previous ones," he says.
"And we also now have the factor of the Chinese looking to take over and invest at English clubs, which I think will also lead to increased transfer spending in coming years as they look to make their mark."
Historians said documents, released by the US National Archives, supported the suspicion that the US did not want to anger its wartime ally, Joseph Stalin.
They showed the US was sent coded messages suggesting the Soviets, not the Nazis, carried out the massacre.
More than 22,000 Poles were killed by the Soviets on Stalin's orders.
Soviet Russia only admitted to the atrocity in 1990 after blaming the Nazis for five decades.
According to a review of the documents by the Associated Press, they show that American prisoners of war sent coded messages to Washington in 1943 saying they had been taken to see corpses in an advanced state of decay in the Katyn forest near Smolensk, in western Russia.
The group of American and British POWs had been taken by the Nazis against their will to witness the scene.
What they saw convinced two Americans, Capt Donald B Stewart and Lt Col John Van Vliet, that the killings must have been carried out by the Soviets, rather than the Nazis, who did not occupy the area until 1941.
A statement from one, Captain Donald B Stewart, made in 1950, confirmed he sent a coded message, the gist of which was: "German claims regarding Katyn substantially correct in opinion of Van Vliet and myself."
They were apparently persuaded by the advanced state of decay of the bodies - suggesting they must have died before August 1941, when the Germans seized the area.
They also saw items found on the bodies, including letters, diaries and other items, none of which was dated later than the spring of 1940.
And the good state of the men's boots and clothing suggested the men had not lived long after being captured by invading Soviet forces.
The close to 1,000 pages of new material will help determine what the US knew and when, the BBC's Kim Ghattas in Washington says.
It has long been believed that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt did not want to question the version of events put out by Stalin, an ally whom the Americans were counting on to defeat Germany and Japan.
According to the report by the Associated Press, information about the massacre was suppressed at the highest levels in Washington.
Katyn expert Allen Paul told AP some of the material did not appear in the record of Congressional hearings in 1951-52 held to investigate the massacre, suggesting it had been deliberately kept hidden.
Among the new evidence is a report sent to President Roosevelt by the then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill - who did not challenge Stalin's claim either - which also pointed to Soviet guilt.
The report is written by the British ambassador to the Polish government-in-exile in London, Owen O'Malley, AP says.
"There is now available a good deal of negative evidence," Mr O'Malley wrote, "the cumulative effect of which is to throw serious doubt on Russian disclaimers of responsibility for the massacre."
The April 1940 killings were carried out at Katyn and other sites by the NKVD secret police on Stalin's orders.
Members of the Polish elite, including officers, politicians and artists, were shot in the back of the head and their bodies dumped in mass graves.
Goodes, an Indigenous Australian who plays for the Swans, has been plagued by booing whilst on the field - especially during last Sunday's clash at Perth's Subiaco Oval where a rival fan was removed for allegedly telling him to "get back to the zoo".
The unidentified man said his ejection was an "overreaction", and described the current uproar as "political correctness gone mad".
"It was a flippant, off-the-cuff remark and the players would not have heard it for all the booing and banter coming from the crowd," he said.
Critics say the jeers are because Goodes just is not liked, but supporters say the 2014 Australian of the Year is being punished for being vocal on indigenous issues.
Olympic gold medal winner and Australia's first indigenous woman to be elected to Federal Parliament, Senator Nova Peris, said the animosity aimed at Goodes is obvious, and he is being targeted due to his stance against racism.
"Aboriginal people are a minority in this country and it is almost like when the minority is screaming out for help, when you voice your opinion, you get shouted down for it," Senator Peris told ABC radio.
"It's confronting racism and it is alive and well and happening everyday and I know that because I live every day as an Aboriginal person and I see it. He should not stop being a proud Aboriginal man."
In 2013, Victoria Police interviewed a 13-year-old girl after she called Adam Goodes an "ape" during a match against the Collingwood Magpies.
"It's not the first time on a footy field that I've been referred to as a 'monkey' or an 'ape', it was shattering," Mr Goodes said at the time.
The young girl phoned Mr Goodes to apologise, but the incident sparked a media storm, with Goodes accused of singling out the young girl and dragging her into what became an apparent media circus.
The head of the AFL has urged supporters to consider the toll the booing has taken on Goodes, as the code commits to a campaign to try and stamp out racism in the sport.
"Racism has no place in our game, and while I respect that people may have different views about what is happening to Adam, it is impossible to separate this issue from the issue of race," AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said.
"Our game has a proud history of tackling racism and vilification, of creating awareness of differences, and of celebrating indigenous culture."
On Sunday, Goodes's Swans teammate Lewis Jetta responded to the crowd's boos by performing an indigenous spear-throwing war cry after he scored a goal.
The war dance is seen as symbol of cultural pride, and Australia's version of the New Zealand haka.
Jetta said it was his way of showing support for Goodes: "He's a superstar of the game, and a superstar for the Swans. Fans need to show more respect for what he's done for the game. All this booing stuff... needs to be thrown out the window."
Two months ago, Goodes performed a war cry during the AFL's Indigenous Round, and said he was inspired by a group of young AFL players, the Flying Boomerangs.
At the time he said he was "surprised" by some people's negative responses: "I haven't had an opportunity to show that passion, and that pride about being a warrior and representing my people and where I come from.
"For everybody else, take a chill pill, understand what I was doing. Is this the lesson we want to teach our children that when we don't understand something we get angry and we put our back up against the wall [and say] 'Oh that's offensive?' No. If it's something we don't understand, let's have a conversation."
After the attention Goodes' war dance garnered, leaders from another football code, Australia's National Rugby League (NRL), are pushing for Indigenous Australian players to perform a war dance at next year's Anzac Test.
Now Indigenous leaders want all AFL players to perform the war dance during this week's games.
"If non-Indigenous players join in, people love that - our mob love it, that there's a mob of non-Indigenous players joining in with our dancers, we think that's just great," Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda said.
The 21-year-old winger, who has signed a one-year contract, has become Gary Locke's first capture as manager with the Scottish Championship club.
Winger Bobby Barr had agreed a move to Stark's Park from Greenock Morton under previous manager Ray McKinnon.
Johnston only played once last season because of a cruciate ligament injury.
He had made his debut for Kilmarnock in 2012 and went on to make 69 appearances for the Scottish Premiership club, where he worked for a year under Locke.
The 27-year-old Barr, who was previously with St Johnstone, Albion Rovers, Livingston and Brechin City, made 42 appearances for Rovers' Championship rivals last season.
As Barr arrived in Kirkcaldy, Rovers lost 25-year-old former Partick Thistle midfielder James Craigen, who joined Falkirk after scoring nine goals in 42 appearances for the Kirkcaldy club.

The person was treated for minor burns and smoke inhalation.
One eBay seller claims to have a "small supply" of the French magazine.
"This is the UK version of the magazine that will most likely be printed in English," the item description claims.
Charlie Hebdo will be available in some shops in the UK and editions are being printed in languages including English, Arabic and Turkish.
Buyers on eBay are supposed to honour their bids.
However, it is possible for users to retract offers and there is no guarantee sales will go through at the current price.
Some users have been bidding up to £60,000 before retracting their offers.
Five million copies are being printed a week after Islamist gunmen murdered eight journalists at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris.
In total 17 people were killed last week in France.
Some of the money raised in sales from the cover price will be going to the families of the victims of last week's shootings.
There is no suggestion that any profits made by re-sellers will be contributed to the donation.
There are long queues at newsstands in France, where the edition of the satirical magazine went on sale on Wednesday.
The cover of this week's publication shows a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad crying while holding a sign saying "Je suis Charlie" (I am Charlie).
The phrase trended on social media after the shootings and has become a slogan of solidarity.
Three million copies of the latest edition of Charlie Hebdo were originally printed but this was increased to five million after overwhelming demand for the issue.
Normally 60,000 are printed each week.
One shop in Paris claims all its copies were sold in five minutes.

Hewitt has not played since Dragons hosted Ospreys on 1 January, 2017.
Jones says the 22-year-old is training regularly, but is unable to "back it up" by playing.
"He wakes up with a slight headache after a bit of training. It's not that he's in pain I don't think but he has to be symptom free," said Jones.
"And it can take a while, can't it?"
In May, 2015 Dragons centre Ashley Smith was forced into retirement after "a series of concussive events".
In September, 2016, wing Matthew Pewtner was also forced to quit because of a head injury.
When asked if Hewitt's career could be under threat, Jones referred to the experience of another Dragons back, Adam Hughes, who returned to the fray after a long absence this season.
Jones said: "I've been asked is it the end of careers - who knows?
"I mean we've seen Adam Hughes, he's come back and lots of other players have, but it's a sensitive situation and it has to be right.
"So we've got to make sure that he's 100% comfortable and feeling great."
Hewitt was named in Wales' 2017 Six Nations squad after impressing for Dragons, but having been absent for four months, he is unlikely to be considered for a summer tour in which they play Samoa and Tonga.
Jones is more concerned that Hewitt returns only when passed fit.
He said: "We have to make sure players are correct, but some players go through the tests and pass them and then they still have symptoms which means headaches and stuff after physical training.
"So, all we can do is wait until that player is symptom-free."
Rachel Dolezal's parents say she has been "pretending to be black" for years. The case has sparked huge reaction from the public.
Here is what we've learned about Ms Dolezal since the story broke.
The 37-year-old came out fighting in an interview at her office on Friday.
Asked what she would say to those questioning her ethnicity, she replied: "Really, it was the article that was questioning, and Larry and Ruthanne [her parents], so what I say to them is, you know, I don't give two [expletive] what you guys think, you know, you're so far done and out of my life."
"I can understand that [it sounds like a misrepresentation], but like I said it is more important for me to clarify that with the black community and with my executive board than it is to explain it to a community that I quite frankly don't think really understands the definitions of race and ethnicity."
Asked directly if she identified herself as an African-American, Ms Dolezal said: "I actually don't like the term African-American, I prefer black, and I would say that if I was asked I would say that... I do consider myself to be black."
Earlier the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) issued a statement appearing to back the activists position, saying: "One's racial identity is not a qualifying criteria or disqualifying standard for NAACP leadership... In every corner of this country, the NAACP remains committed to securing political, educational and economic justice for all people.''
Ms Dolezal claims she has received hate mail at the NAACP's post-office box. However the authorities think it is unlikely a letter that didn't have a date stamp or bar code could have been placed in the box without a key, according to the Associated Press news agency.
The activist also says she has been a victim of hate crimes in the past, and local media have detailed some of these allegations after submitting public records requests.
The reaction to the case has been passionate and widespread. There have been some supporting voices, but mostly commentators have vilified Ms Dolezal for "cultural appropriation", placing her in the context of recent US debates over transgender identity and police treatment of black people.
One tweet gained a particular amount of traction. Twitter user Godfrey Elfwick claims he was born in the wrong skin and identifies as being black.
Genuine or not, the post sparked conversation about the idea of a "transracial" identity, and over the tone and subtext of much of the commentary.
Sowing the seeds of confusion still further, the Elfwick post was subsequently commented on by a fake Rachel Dolezal account.
Ms Dolezal's parents Lawrence and Ruthanne adopted four young children, two of whom are black, when she was a teenager. Her parents said this fuelled her interest in the African-American community.
But two of her adopted brothers say she asked them to keep quiet about her racial origins. Her brother Zach told the Washington Post that his adopted sister asked him not to speak of Lawrence and Ruthanne Dolezal as their parents. And her brother Ezra Dolezal told Buzzfeed News that she asked him "not to blow her cover".
"His sister did not offer 'any logical explanation' for why she was changing her identity, and Ezra never confronted her about it. But it was the next stage after growing apart from her parents, Ruthanne and Larry Dolezal, and leaving their home in Montana," the article says.
One thing is clear, however. Rachel Dolezal's identity continues to baffle America.
The Frenchman fired home his first after being played in by Lewis Grabban, but James Chester soon headed home Conor Hourihane's corner to equalise.
Mendes squandered an easy chance, but made no mistake after the break as he swept home his second of the game.
Grabban sealed the win from the spot after Leandro Bacuna fouled Liam Kelly.
The victory was Reading's first in a league game at Villa Park and put them just one point behind third-placed Huddersfield, but perhaps more importantly six points clear of Fulham in seventh, with just four games remaining.
It was a tremendous turnaround by Jaap Stam's side after a 7-1 defeat by Norwich in their previous game, and the Dutchman left top scorer Yann Kermorgant on the bench as one of four changes.
Villa had won their five previous home games without conceding a goal, but that record was soon ended as Mendes marked his first league start by firing past Sam Johnstone.
Reading keeper Ali Al-Habsi made a superb save from Mile Jedinak, only to let himself down from the resulting corner by failing to get anywhere near the ball as Chester levelled.
Johnstone twice denied Grabban before the interval but he could do nothing about Reading's second just a minute after the restart, as the forward produced a perfect ball for Mendes to restore their lead.
Sub Scott Hogan wasted Villa's best chance of the second half, and they remain 12th in the table after Grabban converted the penalty to make the points safe.
Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce: "I don't like getting beaten and I don't like getting beaten by sloppiness. I thought that was a thing of the past, a performance like that.
"I couldn't fault their effort but it was how they handled making a mistake, if you're going to play for a big club like this you've got to be able to handle that.
"We made more individual errors than we have done in the past three months. We have been punished and given really, really bad goals away."
Reading manager Jaap Stam: "I'm very happy with the character of my team throughout the whole season. Okay, sometimes we get defeats but we're not too worried about defeats.
"We're very confident in how the team can play. You can have an off day - look at PSG against Barcelona - but it's about what you do after.
"For Joseph it wasn't the easiest season because he came from France and had some injuries. He has worked hard in the last couple of months.
"As a player you can respond by talking in the press, by calling the manager certain names, but you can also respond by working hard in the game and scoring goals."

Its first verse was written for a single voice and not the grand choral opening for which it is now famous, claims Professor Jeremy Dibble.
The song was written by Sir Charles Hubert Parry in 1916.
It is popular with rugby union fans and has been played at the England cricket team's home test matches since 2004.
According to Professor Dibble, Parry's original score said "all available voices" should sing the song - but only from its second verse.
"Parry wrote the first verse of Jerusalem for a lone voice, probably a soprano," he said.
The second verse was meant to have "everyone singing together," he continued, "to reflect his desire to create a song of strength, hope and unity".
Jerusalem is one of the unofficial supporters' songs of the England rugby union team.
It was also one of the three hymns sung during the Prince William and Catherine Middleton's 2011 wedding.
"People clearly enjoyed singing it together in church, at meetings and at the Last Night Of The Proms," said Professor Dibble.
As a result, he went on, "we've forgotten Parry's original intention of a solo beginning".
The song is based on a short poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton a Poem, one of a collection of writings known as the Prophetic Books.
In the most common interpretation of the poem, Blake implies that a visit of Jesus would briefly create heaven in England, in contrast to the "dark Satanic Mills" of the Industrial Revolution.
During the 1920s, many Women's Institutes started closing their meetings by singing Jerusalem. As this practice caught on nationally, it became the unofficial anthem of the WI.
Professor Dibble made the discovery about the song while researching Parry's works ahead of a BBC recording to be released in October.
The sharp-talking American founded the hedge-fund firm Skybridge Capital, which manages $14.5bn in assets ("it was $15bn, but we got hit in the market", he jokes), and is a staple on the World Economic Forum circuit.
Back home, he is courted by Republican presidential candidates in pursuit of financial contributions, as well as his ability to persuade other wealthy donors to support a particular candidate.
But as the funding of political campaigns by a select group of billionaires comes under fire in the US - from Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders on the left and Donald Trump on the right - Mr Scaramucci unapologetically makes the case for the wealthy intervening in the political process.
"I've always viewed myself as a business person," he says.
"I never got involved in the political process until 2008-09, when it dawned on me that I have now become a minority partner in my own life.
"Whatever money I'm making the government is taking more than 50%, so I should be involved, in my opinion, with the hiring decisions on the people that are the majority partners in my life".
Although avowedly a Republican, his gripes with the Obama administration revolve around deficit spending, financial regulation and security - rather than around immigration or reproductive rights, for example.
It's hardly surprising, therefore, that he's no fan of some of the current candidates, who have, he claims, "hijacked reality TV ideas".
That's a direct jab at Mr Trump, who fronted the US version of The Apprentice.
But the frustration with Mr Trump, who has accused hedge fund managers of "getting away with murder" for not paying enough in taxes, is that being a billionaire he can afford to finance his own campaign, cutting big donors out of the process.
For now, Mr Scaramucci is backing Florida's Jeb Bush, and is confident that someone other than Mr Trump will become the next US president.
But, what if his worst nightmares come true?
"If Donald Trump becomes the next president, I'm looking forward to the BBC helping me find a flat somewhere in London," he jokes.

Some people lit candles, others danced with joy.
More than four thousand people have died because of the virus over the past 18 months.
But there's been 42 days without any new cases.
An official announcement is expected from the World Health Organisation tomorrow.
BBC reporter Tulip Mazumdar joined in the celebrations.
He will be joining the communications consultancy Charlotte Street partners, which is based in Edinburgh and London.
It was founded last year by BAA's former communications director, Malcolm Robertson, and the former head of group communications at RBS, Andrew Wilson.
Mr Pringle was previously a senior special adviser to Alex Salmond.
The father-of-one Tweeted the news by saying: "Moving on from working for @theSNP, 1st started in 1989! Proud to be part of it. Start at @cstreetpartners in Aug after a Westminster stint."
In 2012 he was charged with fraud, and thrust into the midst of 13,000 inmates at Puente Grande Prison, in central Mexico.
Mr Cueto-Felgueroso, a lifelong entrepreneur, was faced with a stark choice - sink into depression or worse, or find the best way to survive. He chose the latter.
"Even in the most adverse circumstances you can find the formula for success," he says.
Struck by how many of the inmates had tattoos, and the fact that much of the ink work had been done while behind bars, using the rudimentary tools available, Mr Cueto-Felgueroso came up with the idea of using the same methods to transfer designs onto leather.
So he started paying the prison tattooists to imprint designs onto leather bags and wallets
By the time Mr Cueto-Felgueroso was found innocent and released 11 months later, he'd amassed 650 such items, which he used to set up a social enterprise called Prison Art.
The business now sells up to 600 bags, wallets and purses a month, all tattooed by prison inmates, and retailing at up to 6,500 pesos ($390; £261).
Inmates who work on the bag designs can earn up to 6,000 pesos a month - well above the typical government salary for prisoner jobs such as cleaning and maintenance, which pay as little as 50 pesos per week.
Two years after Mr Cueto-Felgueroso left prison, the brand now has four shops, including an outlet in one of the most luxurious hotels in the historic centre of Mexico City.
And in total the business has generated more than 200 jobs inside and outside the prison. In fact, those who have been released often go on to get jobs in the small factory near the prison, which also now makes t-shirts.
With profits reinvested back into the business, Mr Cueto-Felgueroso says his main motivation is to provide "decent work" for inmates, offering them a way out other than crime.
The 48-year-old says: "The problem in Mexico is that guilty and innocent people are mixed for a long time in prison, criminal proceedings are very long.
"[There are] no opportunities and decent work, and for many, joining the ranks of crime is the only way out."
Prison Art isn't the only venture offering Mexican prisoners an opportunity for rehabilitation. At the Santa Marta Acatitla men's prison in the eastern part of Mexico City, an amateur dramatics group has been turned into the first professional theatre company inside a Mexican prison.
The venture originated through four amateur workshops offered by independent theatre group Shakespeare Forum, founded by Mexican actors Bruno Bichir and Itari Marta.
The men's prison troupe has gone onto perform three professional productions since 2010. These are open to the general public, who, as part of their 200 pesos ticket price, are bussed into the prison from downtown Mexico to watch the performance.
The money generated from the theatre shows has enabled actors, set designers and stagehands to receive a salary, and in all has generated employment for 35 people, both inside and outside prison.
But the social enterprise project is much more than a source of employment, it is "a lifetime chance" for inmates to escape the "black hole" of prison, says Ms Marta, 39.
She and Mr Bichir started working with the prisoners after some inmates go in touch to invite them.
Israel Rodriguez, who was released from Santa Marta Acatitla prison five years ago, says the theatre company helped him transform his life.
After serving an 18-year sentence, he had nothing, and little chance of employment, but the Shakespeare Forum offered him a job as a security guard, whilst he trained as a professional actor.
The chance has enabled him to break away from the stigma of being an ex-prisoner, and since then he has moved on to work on productions with other theatre companies, and he now helps to lead the prison theatre company.
Hands Weaving Dreams, a brand of bags, decorative items and furniture, was started with a similar aim to offer prisoners, in its case female ones, hope.
Sisters Claudia Martinez-Erazo, 47, and Diana Martinez-Erazo, 42, started the firm seven years ago, with just 1,500 pesos, after Claudia lost her job.
They started to employ female prisoners upon the recommendation of their aunt, who volunteered at a prison.
Female prisoners across Mexico now make Hand Weaving Dreams products, which are sold in major Mexican department stores, and also exported to both the US and Europe.
Diana, who studied architecture, is in charge of the design of the products, while Claudia manages the business side of things at the for-profit venture.
Claudia says they pay the prisoners fairly for their work, enabling the women, who often have no other means of financial aid, to send out money to help care for their families and children.
Diana adds: "One of the biggest challenges was to try to help them without weighing stereotypes. Not to see them either as victims or as criminals but as artists, as creative workers.
"It is not my role to judge them or save them. We need to work with them to give them a dignified choice to move forward."
Taller Nu - a clothing and shoe brand started in 2012 by fashion design students Pilar Obeso and Olga Olivares - also use prisoners to help make some of its products.
The co-founders decided to do this after holding a workshop in a prison, and because they say they wanted the firm to have a positive social impact in their local community.
The for-profit business sells its creations in fashion stores in Mexico City, New York and Tokyo, as well as online.
As the business grows, Ms Obeso, 26, says they will continue to use prison inmates.
"Our model seeks to generate jobs, training and productive skills for prisoners, helping them to better integrate into society when they are released."
Alloa are still searching for their first home win, but kept Buddies keeper Jamie Langfield busy early on.
Matchwinner Watson cleared Iain Flannigan's effort off the line following a scramble.
And the defender netted the clincher to leave Alloa 13 points adrift at the foot of the table.
St Mirren manager Alex Rae watched the game from the stand after accepting a one-match touchline ban, having been sent from the dugout area during Tuesday's defeat by Raith Rovers.
A statement from the Swiss team said Englishman Smith, 54, had "decided to go back to the UK for family reasons. He has already left the company".
Smith, previously technical director of Caterham, Force India, Jordan and Red Bull, was appointed on 1 July, 2015.
The move leaves Sauber without a technical director before the start of the new season in Australia this week.

Thomas Day, 39, from Liverpool, appeared at the city's sheriff court charged with theft by housebreaking.
He made no plea and no declaration and was released on bail.
On Tuesday another man from Liverpool, 37-year-old John Davies, also appeared in connection with the incident.
He and his co-accused John Murphy, 31, from Aberdeen, also made no plea and no declaration to the theft by housebreaking charge and were released on bail.
All three men are to appear in court again at a later date.
The 80-year-old was in a stable condition in hospital in London, his agent John Grant confirmed.
Wilson had been due to reprise his role as Victor Meldrew, the grumpy pensioner in BBC comedy One Foot In The Grave.
His 12-night run, billed as I Don't Believe It! An Evening with Victor Meldrew, was due to begin on Tuesday at the Assembly Roxy.
The show's promoters, Assembly, confirmed the cancellation of the production.
In a statement, they said: "Due to ill health, Richard Wilson has taken the decision, to take some time out.
"He is sorry to have to disappoint those hoping to see him in Edinburgh.
"We hope to plan further shows for later in the year."
Mr Wilson was born in Greenock and came to acting relatively late.
He studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art after completing national service in the army and working as a hospital lab technician.
He later won plaudits in the acclaimed 1987 series Tutti Frutti, which also starred Robbie Coltraine and Emma Thompson,
He first appeared as the curmudgeonly Meldrew in 1990. The BBC One show went on to run for six series, winning the Bafta for Best Comedy in 1992.
Mr Wilson won individual Baftas for his performance in 1992 and 1994.
Lead character Victor was killed off in the final episode but the actor was due to bring him back to life for the new stage show.
People with tickets can claim a refund or exchange them for another production at the same venue.
The boy, aged about 12, said the trip had been "planned and paid for" by his mother who thought he would have a "better and safer" life in the UK.
After his discovery at the airport, the boy was temporarily placed in foster care by council social services staff.
Mrs Justice Theis has now ruled it would be impossible to return him as it is not known where his mother is.
Details of the case emerged in a ruling by Mrs Justice Theis following a family court hearing in London.
Social services bosses at Hillingdon Council had brought the case before her.
"There is some uncertainty as to precisely how he arrived at Heathrow Airport, and what methods of transport he had between Afghanistan and the United Kingdom," said the judge.
"The whereabouts of his mother are unknown and it would be impossible to return [him] to her care in Afghanistan at this time."
The judge said she had been asked to decide how the boy's welfare interests could best be met.
She added it was up to Home Office officials to make decisions about his immigration status.
Brogan Griffiths, 19, from Burry Port, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention and failing to stop after a road accident.
Mr Ruck suffered serious head and leg injuries in the crash on 17 October on New Street, Kidwelly, and remains in hospital.
Griffiths was disqualified from driving for two years at Llanelli magistrates'.
He also received a 20-week sentence in a young offender's institution suspended for two years, was ordered to carry out 250 hours of unpaid work and pay £455.
Mr Ruck is the author of four books and a columnist for local newspapers.
The Amazon Reef is a 9,500 sq km (3,600 sq miles) system of corals, sponges and rhodoliths, Greenpeace says.
The reef is almost 1,000 km (620 miles) long, and is located where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Oil drilling could start in the area if companies obtain permits from the Brazilian government, the group warns.
"This reef system is important for many reasons, including the fact that it has unique characteristics regarding use and availability of light, and physicochemical water conditions," researcher Nils Asp, from the Federal University of Para, said in a statement.
"It has a huge potential for new species, and it is also important for the economic well-being of fishing communities along the Amazonian coastal zone."
Scientists were surprised by the discovery, in April 2016, as they thought it was unlikely that reefs would be found it the area given unfavourable conditions," they said in a paper in the scientific journal Science Advances.
The reef ranges from about 25-120m deep (82-393ft)
Mr Asp now says that his team wants to gradually map the system. At the moment, only 5% of it has been mapped.
"Our team wants to have a better understanding of how this ecosystem works, including important questions like its photosynthesis mechanisms with very limited light."
But Greenpeace says drilling in the area means a "constant risk of an oil spill".
Campaigner Thiago Almeira said environmental licensing processes for oil exploration there are already under way.
"The Cape Orange National Park, the northernmost point of the Brazilian state of Amapa, is home to the world's largest continuous mangrove ecosystem and there is no technology capable of cleaning up oil in a place of its characteristics," the group said.
"In addition, the risks in this area are increased due to the strong currents and sediment that the Amazon River carries."
The group said that, so far, 95 wells have been drilled in the region, and 27 of them were abandoned as a result of mechanical incidents - the rest due to the absence of economically or technically viable gas and oil.
Coleman did not condone Neil Taylor's red card tackle which broke Seamus Coleman's leg but objected to the suggestion Bale could also have been sent off for a tackle on John O'Shea.
Bale was booked and is now suspended for Wales' trip to Serbia in June.
"The ball is there to be won, he's got to go for it," Coleman said.
He continued: "But come on, were all the bad challenges on that pitch ours? Is Gareth [getting criticised] because it's Gareth Bale? Or was it genuinely bad?
"If I see it again and I see it differently I'll apologise for getting it wrong, but there wasn't a hint of it in the dressing room of getting one wrong. He actually wanted to appeal the yellow card.
"If it is a bad one from Neil, it's a surprise because he's not that type of boy, he's been there before with a bad injury. I just hope Seamus is going to be back sooner than later.
"Neil went [to apologise to Coleman] at the end of the game, across to where the Republic's home changing room is. I'm not sure he got hold of him but he went over there."
The draw in Dublin was damaging to Welsh hopes of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, leaving them third in Group D and four points behind joint-leaders Serbia and the Republic of Ireland.
In a fractious post-match media conference, Coleman was asked by Irish journalists if Bale should have been shown a red card for the foul.
"In your view do you think one or two of yours [Irish] were lucky to stay on the pitch? Because there was a little bit of both," he said.
"Your boys weren't coming off with halos on their heads. It was going on all through the game. I'm not complaining - it was a typical British game of football.
"You don't want to see anyone getting sent off. There were one or two complaints from our boys - your boys were a little bit late here and there, and so were our boys, so I'm not complaining. That's football." | The latest inflation figure for the UK revealed record low Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation of 0%, while the US figure expected later on Tuesday is expected to show a negligible increase in prices from a year ago.

With the hosts resuming on 227-5, Ansari added 81 runs to his overnight total before being trapped lbw by spinner Wes Durston (6-113) for 106.
Gary Wilson (72) and James Burke (79) also made valuable half-centuries, as Surrey were eventually bowled out for 560 after tea, a lead of 247.
Derbyshire were unable to respond with the bat, as bad light ended play early.
If Surrey can secure victory on the final day, they will secure their return to County Championship Division One, having been relegated with a defeat by Warwickshire in 2013.
Surrey all-rounder James Burke told BBC London 94.9:
"Coming in today, we weren't really sure of our position in this game, but we fought really well and got ourselves into a good position.
"Zafar [Ansari] batted brilliantly to get us into the position that we have so it's by no means easy to bat out there especially with the spinners.
"The ball's starting to do quite a bit out of the rough, so we know that if we stick to our guns we're in with a good shot."
It has taken Moffat three years to achieve the accolade.
The project received £240,000 of Scottish government funding in 2013 which was used to convert lighting to become "dark sky friendly".
Lighting consultant James Paterson said it would give Moffat a tremendous boost to winter tourism.
Mr Paterson said "There are about 30 stars within the four corner points of Orion and in Moffat you can see at least 17. In a normal street-lit town you could probably see about six."
The region already boasts a Dark Sky Park at the Galloway Forest Park.
Councillor Colin Smyth described the latest recognition as an "outstanding achievement" and said it was clear the dedication of all those involved had paid off.
There are a number of Dark Sky Communities already, including the island of Coll.
They are recognised for their "exceptional dedication to the preservation of the night sky".
Dumfries and Galloway Council said it intended to build on the status by including a protection policy for Moffat in its next local development plan.
"Our council is committed to supporting the local economy and by working together with communities such as Moffat, the region's tourism businesses can capitalise on our fantastic natural assets," said Mr Smyth.
Cook averages 24.95 runs in his last 21 one-day internationals, during which time England have won eight matches and suffered four series defeats.
"He's horribly out of form at the moment but, as we all know with form, that can turn," Downton told BBC Sport.
"I would be extremely surprised if he wasn't the captain at the World Cup."
After a 90-run defeat in the sixth ODI in Sri Lanka condemned England to a 4-2 series defeat, coach Peter Moores said there was no guarantee Cook would remain captain and that his position will be reviewed after the tour.
Downton confirmed that a similar discussion was held following the 3-1 home series defeat by India at the end of the English summer.
"The selectors spent a week in September after the India series just really analysing and discussing," said Downton.
"[National selector] James Whitaker went to see Alastair at his home just to talk through from his point of view how he was mentally."
Pressure on Cook's place as leader of the one-day side follows calls for him to stand down as Test captain in the wake of a series defeat by Sri Lanka, a loss in the second Test against India and his own poor form.
But Cook turned it round with two half-centuries in the third Test against India, with England going on to win the series 3-1.
"Just as we saw during the summer - when, frankly, AN Other was going to be the next captain for England - we felt strongly that all his experience, all his toughness would come out," said Downton.
"He's come through a traumatic summer, in terms of the pressure on him. But, in doing so, that dressing room is very much his dressing room, in a way that it could never have been before.
"He's the natural leader of that group of players."
Downton will not have a vote when the selection panel of Moores, Whitaker, Mick Newell and Angus Fraser meet to discuss the 16-man squad for next month's tri-series against Australia and India.
That competition acts as another warm-up for the World Cup, which starts on 14 February.
Downton also gave his reaction to recent claims by Kevin Pietersen of bullying within the England team.
The former wicketkeeper was part of the three-man panel that took the decision to end Pietersen's international career but was only in the role of managing director for the final match of the batsman's 104-Test career.
"The reality was that there is no formal complaint of bullying at all on anybody's record during that whole period," said Downton.
He also insisted the ECB had made the right calls.
"Were they the right decisions? As far as I'm concerned, for English cricket, they absolutely were," he said.
"Now, we're starting to emerge from a pretty traumatic time and it's time for people to get excited again."
Indeed, central London's St James's Park recorded 44.4mm of rain in just a few hours through the early part of the morning.
The greatest official rainfall total during this spell of severe weather was recorded just to the south west of London, where South Farnborough in Hampshire recorded 45.6mm.
To put these amounts in context, in an average June, the county of Hampshire would expect to record around 53mm of rain and central London a similar value.
So on a local level, some areas received the best part of a month's rainfall in just a few hours.
This is by no means the first instance of heavy localised rain so far this month either - with weather stations across Surrey, Nottinghamshire and parts of the West Midlands receiving similar rainfall totals over a similar duration only last week.
But how do the rainfall statistics on a UK-wide scale shape up so far this June?
Well, in contrast to events seen locally across different parts of the UK in the last few days, on a national scale, June has only been slightly wetter than we would usually expect.
This might seem difficult to believe if you have been unfortunate enough to have been caught in a torrential downpour.
The reason the national rainfall picture is so skewed towards around about average is that the rainfall that has occurred so far this June has been very localised, in the form of heavy, thundery (and what meteorologists refer to as) convective activity.
The month actually started on a fairly dry note.
Western Scotland, Northern Ireland and west Wales saw temperatures climb well into the mid to high 20s, and those warm conditions were mimicked across the south of the UK at other times in the early part of the month.
From around the second week of June onwards, the weather turned far more unsettled.
For the past couple of weeks, low pressure systems have often lingered over parts of the UK.
These slow moving low pressure systems and troughs tend to distribute any rainfall in a haphazard fashion across the land, in contrast to the organised bands of rain that tend to sweep in from the Atlantic and deposit rain more evenly.
The random distribution of showers is best reflected in the way that some parts of the Midlands and south-east England have seen around twice as much as the June average rainfall already, with western Scotland and the northern Isles having a meagre 20 to 30% of their June average rainfall so far this month.
When we average these regional fluctuations out, we arrive at the conclusion that, so far this month, rainfall has been just that - pretty average.
But there was no handshake with President Obama, not even a phone call like the one in 2013.
Perhaps Mr Rouhani was eager not to attract the ire of hardliners back home at a delicate moment in Iranian politics, and while a parliamentary review of the nuclear agreement was still under way.
His foreign minister on the other hand, Javad Zarif, did shake hands with the US president and was duly denounced as a traitor in Tehran by hardliners.
He will be hauled in front of parliament to answer questions about crossing a red line with the enemy.
It is certainly not enough to sign a nuclear agreement to end four decades of enmity, but the political process in both countries is now also a key element in how the ties evolve.
Both countries are entering an election cycle that will set the tone of the unfolding relationship after 2017.
Iranians want to know who Mr Obama's successor will be in the White House.
The Americans are wondering how long they will be dealing with a centrist like Mr Rouhani.
Iran will hold parliamentary elections in February and reformers are hoping they can regain the majority they lost in 2004.
It is a tall order - but in a BBC interview in August, one of Iran's Vice Presidents, Massoumeh Ebtekar made clear that Mr Rouhani believed that the nuclear agreement gave him leverage over the other political parties.
The reformers' success depends on the president's ability to deliver tangible economic change to the country, including those possible thanks to the expected lifting of sanctions following the implementation of the nuclear deal.
This will, in turn, determine whether Mr Rouhani has any chance of being re-elected in 2017.
The US and Iran have been mirroring each other in their political handling of the nuclear deal.
Republicans in Congress tried to sink the agreement by voting on a motion of disapproval in September.
But the Democrats gathered enough votes to block the motion and handed Obama a political victory.
In Iran, the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ordered a vote in parliament on the nuclear deal and a special parliamentary committee took its time before finally issuing its recommendations on Sunday.
It was always unlikely that the Iranian parliament would reject the deal outright, but the process helped hardliners keep their options open while they waited for the outcome of the tussle in Congress.
The continuing debate is also a way to keep Mr Rouhani's toes to the fire.
The committee approved the deal with caveats - no foreign inspections of military sites and no curbs on the missile programme.
This will again allow Iran to remain nimble as it watches the presidential race unfold in the US.
In the US, several Republican candidates have promised to abandon the controversial agreement on day one of their presidency, even though it was a multilateral accord.
Ted Cruz has even made an oblique threat to kill the Supreme Leader.
Jeb Bush has been more pragmatic, saying that tearing up the agreement was not a policy, though he didn't exactly endorse the deal either.
Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state when the back channel with Iran was established, gave a robust endorsement of the agreement during a speech in September.
But she made clear the success of the deal depended on verifying Iran's implementation of it and she emphasised that Tehran should be confronted about its aggressive behaviour in the region.
Iran's hawkish foreign policy will not soften while Tehran feels it has the upper hand in the region.
But while the core national security interests of countries don't change based on who is president, personal relations between leaders can set a different tone.
The contrast is stark, for example, between the relationship President Obama had with his Russian counterpart when it was Dimitri Medvedev and the glacial one now with Vladimir Putin.
So what combination of American and Iranian presidents will the elections in Iran and the US deliver as the election cycle takes off in both countries?
A match of hard-hitting rhetoric with Marco Rubio and a hardliner in the vein of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?
A mismatch of a moderate and a hardliner could also be a missed opportunity for the two countries, for example with a Ted Cruz and a Hassan Rouhani.
In both those cases, the nuclear deal could still survive if it is being properly implemented, though the relationship would stagnate.
Mehdi Khalaji, an Iran analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, cautions that the Supreme Leader still runs the show and controls the state apparatus so he will set clear limits on how much further president Rouhani can go in a rapprochement with the US if he is re-elected.
But if the US and Iran, once allies, but separated by a revolution and a hostage crisis 36 years ago are to make more steps towards an entente, a handshake between a reformer like Mr Rouhani and a Democrat like Mrs Clinton at the UN General Assembly 2017 could set the tone.
Or at least an in-person meeting since Mr Rouhani, a cleric, wouldn't be able to shake hands with a female president.
Uranium enrichment: Iran can operate 5,060 first generation centrifuges, configured to enrich uranium to 3.67%, a level well below that needed to make an atomic weapon. It can also operate up to 1,000 centrifuges at its mountain facility at Fordow - but these cannot be used to enrich uranium.
Plutonium production: Iran has agreed to reconfigure its heavy water reactor at Arak, so that it will only produce a tiny amount of plutonium as a by-product of power generation, and will not build any move heavy water reactors for 15 years.
Inspections: International monitors will be able to carry out a comprehensive programme of inspection of Iran's nuclear facilities.
Possible military dimensions: Iran will allow foreign inspectors to investigate the so-called "possible military dimensions" to its programme by December. This should determine whether the country ever harboured military ambitions for its nuclear programme - a claim it has always strenuously denied.
Sanctions: All EU and US energy, economic and financial sanctions, and most UN sanctions, will be lifted on the day Iran shows it has complied with the main parts of the deal.

Shops and stalls line the unpaved roads, where hotels and factories, bars and blacksmiths' workshops vie for space.
The United Nations is preparing to carry out a survey in Dadaab, the world's largest refugee camp, to find out how many of the nearly half a million Somalis who live there are prepared to go back to their country.
This comes a week after Kenya, Somalia and the UN signed an agreement to begin the voluntary repatriation of refugees.
The survey may take months to complete and is likely to be met with little enthusiasm
"There is total insecurity in Somalia and we're not intending to go back to that place," fumes a man with a hennaed beard as he emerges from a cafe.
His name is Ibrahim Sambul, and he has lived in Dadaab since 1992.
"Our kids, if they go back there, everyone would get hold of a gun and start fighting for al-Shabab."
That is precisely the kind fiery talk that has led some Kenyan politicians to accuse the camp of links to the Somali Islamist militant group that carried out the Westgate attack in which 67 people died.
Militants stormed the shopping centre in the capital, Nairobi, over four days in September.
Addressing the Kenyan government, Mr Sambul quickly adds: "All Somalis are not terrorists."
Security has improved in Somalia over the past few years, there is no doubt about that.
Territory controlled by al-Shabab has shrunk, as African Union troops alongside Somali government forces have pushed the militants out of towns and villages they once held.
But Mr Sambul's reluctance to return reflects a view widely held in Dadaab.
The UN refugee agency is likely to offer cash incentives as well as food and provisions to those refugees who are willing to return.
Yet a camp official told the BBC that fewer than 100 people had so far expressed an interest in their repatriation programme.
Out of a refugee population of around 400,000 - no-one is sure of the exact figure because there are so many unregistered refugees - that is a very low take-up rate indeed.
One of the reasons people want to stay is education.
At the Unity Primary School a mixed group of students, boys and girls, are learning mathematics, in English.
Around 2,500 children get a free education at the school, one of many in the camp.
Most parents know that Somalia is currently unable to provide that opportunity.
Mohammed Abdi Shamsudin arrived at Dadaab from Mogadishu in 1991.
He now has 21 children from three wives.
For him and his family Dadaab is not just a refugee camp. For better or for worse, it is home.
"When I talk to my children about going back to Somalia, they get scared," he says.
"They think it's a mad idea. They can't get work here in Kenya but they can't go back to Somalia. So the only hope they have is education."
We drove to one of the newer settlements in the camp; unlike Mr Shamsudin, most here are more recent arrivals.
It is an area with a troubled reputation. On 17 October, a group of local men were watching a football match in a communal TV-shack known as the "cinema".
At around 21:00 masked gunmen burst in, spraying bullets indiscriminately into the crowd.
No-one was killed, but six were wounded.
We met some of them still nursing their scars outside the cinema.
"We are very afraid," said Faisal Omar, the owner, who said he now opens only during the day.
He could not say who exactly had carried out the attack, but he was not the first person we met to refer, obliquely, to al-Shabab.
"Maybe it's like what happened at Westgate," he said. "Without asking you something, they start shooting at you. It happens."
Incidents like these occur less frequently today than they did a year or two ago.
But it is clear from the reaction you get when you mention al-Shabab that people in the camp are afraid.
One Kenyan MP recently called Dadaab a "nursery for terrorists".
Most here would dispute that and they are not planning to leave in a hurry.
On one street, a builder's merchant was busy unloading timber.
It will be used to build yet more structures in this camp that seems to just keep on expanding.
It was assumed that the name behind Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, was a pseudonym for the group of coders who developed the system.
Now Newsweek claims Dorian S Nakamoto, a 64-year-old model train enthusiast who lives on the outskirts of Los Angeles, is the creator.
However, he denied his involvement in an interview with the Associated Press.
Mr Nakamoto said he hadn't heard of the cryptocurrency until his son told him about it after being contacted by a reporter.

For someone who claims to have unmasked arguably the most elusive man in the technology sector right now, Leah Goodman appeared to be relatively calm.
Her story on the Bitcoin inventor has not only generated a lot of buzz but also a fair share of controversy.
While she admitted that it was fine for people to question the evidence as being circumstantial, she defended her decision to publish the story.
She said she had directly asked the man she claims as being the inventor of the digital currency if he denied ever being involved with Bitcoins.
According to her: "He couldn't do that... he didn't want to talk about it.
"That was the important part, the meeting and asking him are you this man, that was key to the story to me, because that was his opportunity, of course, to say 'no I am not'."
When asked if he admitted being the inventor, she said: "He certainly didn't say 'you got me'."
So for now, just like the digital currency he is said to have invented, Satoshi Nakamoto's 'discovery' continues to remain controversial.
In the article, Newsweek reporter Leah Goodman said she tracked Mr Nakamoto down by seeking public records for US citizens bearing that name. She then investigated people whose background, education and employment history showed they might be capable of creating the crypto-currency.
Ms Goodman's enquiries focussed on one candidate in particular who seemed to have the right profile and whose involvement was hinted at by other Bitcoin developers.
Further evidence, she said, arose when talking to his family members revealed his obsession with privacy, his political leanings and his facility with maths.
The evidence led Ms Goodman to confront Mr Nakamoto at his home where she asked if he was the creator of Bitcoin.
Many Bitcoin commentators on social networks have expressed scepticism about the find saying the evidence Ms Goodman gathered was not convincing. The story was called "fake" by some commentators on the Bitcoin Talk forum who demanded Mr Nakamoto carry out signed Bitcoin transactions to prove that he was the currency's originator.
Others criticised Newsweek for publishing a picture of Mr Nakamoto and revealing so much about his life.
On Twitter, Ms Goodman said the magazine had only printed information that was publicly available.
Stephen Moore, 44, of Conwy, denied harassment by making four calls on his iPad with the last one showing him with a rope around his neck in an attic.
Prosecutor Justin Espie told Llandudno magistrates' court he began screaming and the woman had alerted police.
A district judge freed Moore from custody on conditional bail until his trial on 16 May.
The officer, who has since died, used the name Rick Gibson to join Liverpool-based activist group Big Flame.
In 1976, "Rick" was forced out of the group amid a "tirade of abuse" after members apparently found birth and death records for the real Mr Gibson.
The details were released by a judge-led inquiry into undercover policing.
The Undercover Policing Inquiry is being led by Sir John Mitting. It was previously led by Sir Christopher Pitchford, who has now retired.
For two years it has reported on undercover police operations conducted by police forces in England and Wales since 1968.
In this case, the officer had tried to explain to campaigners that he adopted a pseudonym to "avoid detection and arrest" because he was "wanted" by police.
"No violence was used, but he was expelled from the group after a lengthy tirade of abuse," a Metropolitan Police risk assessment compiled for the inquiry said.
Big Flame, which described itself as a "revolutionary socialist feminist organisation", was set up in 1970 but had largely disbanded by the mid-1980s.
After the incident, the policeman was withdrawn as an undercover officer in the Special Demonstration Squad - the secretive Met unit responsible for infiltrating protest groups.
The document included details of three officers who used cover names, revealed by the inquiry after the Met decided not to oppose their disclosure.
One undercover officer used the pseudonym Douglas Edwards, and was deployed to gather information on the Independent Labour Party and the left-wing groups, Tri-Continental and the Dambusters Mobilising Committee.
The document said the government was concerned about the risk of "large-scale public disorder" and that the officer, who was deployed between 1968 and 1971, posed as a "long-distance lorry driver".
In a personal statement, the second policeman, who has since retired and did not want his real name to be revealed, said he was initially told to report on anarchist groups.
"Some of them were quite nasty pieces of work," he wrote.
He said problems linked to undercover policing were "blown out of all proportion", but added: "Other people have fathered children and you can't have that."
In 2014, the Met paid £425,000 in compensation to a woman who did not know the father of her child was an undercover officer, Bob Lambert, who was using the pseudonym Bob Robinson.
A third policeman, whose cover name was John Graham, reported on the Vietnam Solidarity Campaign in the late 1960s.
In his statement, he said: "I regarded the people I was with as intellectuals.
"They were just people who believed that the Americans shouldn't be in Vietnam but had no idea how to get them out."
The officer, who also gathered information on the Revolutionary Socialist Students Federation, grew a beard and was said to have been "scruffier" than his colleagues.
The Healthcare Environment Inspectorate (HEI) has made the request following an inspection of Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway in Lewis in September.
Inspectors said there was no record of what temperature breast milk was being stored at and no staff policy in place for handling and storing it.
However, HEI said the hospital was otherwise clean and meeting standards.
Inspectors only made the one requirement regards breast milk and no recommendations.
Jacqui Macrae, head of quality of care for HEI, said: "This was a good inspection in which we found that the ward environment and all patient equipment we inspected was clean.
"We also saw good staff compliance with standard infection control precautions."
NHS Western Isles chairman Dr Neil Galbraith said: "The board takes a close interest in maintaining the standards of cleanliness within our hospitals because of the high correlation with patient safety.
"The board welcomes the Inspection findings which largely corroborate the Western Isles Hospital's own self-assessment report and provide the external reassurance that our cleanliness and anti-infection regimes are being effective."
Dr Galbraith added: "The board notes the one requirement emerging from the inspection and will look to have the policy paper produced, and related practice brought into being, with immediate effect."
The captain's 647-minute knock ended when he fell for 302 from 559 balls.
McCullum, 32, shared a Test-record sixth-wicket stand of 352 with wicketkeeper BJ Watling (124) as the hosts declared on 680-8 in Wellington.
That was the Kiwis' highest Test score and also a world-record total for a third innings in Test cricket.
India were 166-3 at the close, with Virat Kohli 105 not out, as they failed to avenge their 40-run defeat in the first Test in Auckland.
McCullum, 32, hit 224 in that match but this time surpassed the 299 Martin Crowe made at the same venue against Sri Lanka in January 1991, becoming only the 27th triple centurion in Test history.
After a nervous moment on 293 when he edged a ball from Ishant Sharma that fell short of Mahendra Dhoni, he chopped away a Zaheer Khan delivery to the boundary to pass 300.
But he was out just two balls later, edging Zaheer Khan through to Dhoni.
McCullum's side had been staring defeat in the face when, with five wickets down and needing another 152 runs to prevent an innings defeat in the second Test, Watling joined him at the crease.
But the duo turned the match on its head before Jimmy Neesham added an unbeaten 137, the highest score by a debutant batting at number eight, to see New Zealand to safety.
The draw means India remain without a Test victory away from home since 2011.

Some of the drivers have never been able to see, but others lost their sight through injury or illness.
The event at the Castle Donington racetrack raised money for the Guide Dogs for the Blind.
The trio were part of Donegal's 2012 All-Ireland winning squad and all three collected three Ulster Senior titles.
Toye, 33, was Donegal's longest serving player, having made his debut in 2002, but has suffered from injury and illness in recent years.
Midfielder Kavanagh, 34, left the squad after the 2014 All-Ireland final but decided to return after a year out.
Toye suffered a ruptured Achilles in a qualifier against Clare in 2009 and did not play again for Donegal for 25 months, enduring setback after setback.
A shoulder problem and a recurrence of the Achilles strain meant the Naomh Micheal clubman was never a regular starter during the tenure of former manager Jim McGuinness.
Toye played the last 13 minutes of Donegal's All-Ireland final victory but then contracted trigeminal neuralgia.
He was confined to a bench role for much of the 2016 summer campaign.
Meanwhile Anthony Thompson has joined Odhrán MacNiallais and Naomh Conaill clubmate Leo McLoone in opting out of the Donegal panel.
The 2012 All-Ireland winner and All Star nominee is unable to commit to the side for personal reasons but, unlike MacNiallais and McLoone, may rejoin Rory Gallagher's squad at a later stage of the Football League.
Thirty-year-old wing-back/half-forward Thompson works as an engineer and spent most of the 2015 season travelling back and forth between Donegal and Essex, England.
Gweedore player MacNiallais is "taking a year out" from Rory Gallagher's squad, while McLoone confirmed before Christmas that he had opted out of the panel for this year.
The aircraft left the Scottish base from 08:00. They arrived at RAF Akrotiri at 14:20.
MPs voted by 397 to 223 in favour of extending military action to target IS in Syria as well as Iraq.
RAF Tornados based at Akrotiri carried out their first air strikes against IS in Syria just hours after the vote.
The BBC understands that the strikes focused on six targets in an oil field under IS control in eastern Syria, as part of the strategy to deprive the terror group of funding.
An RAF Airbus A400M tactical transport aircraft has also left RAF Lossiemouth. It is taking engineers, ground staff and maintenance supplies to service the fighter jets stationed in Cyprus.
Two Tornados based at RAF Marham in Norfolk have also been sent to Cyprus to bolster the base.
The SNP earlier condemned the House of Commons vote to allow the UK to launch air strikes in Syria, with the party's Westminster leader Angus Robertson - whose constituency includes Lossiemouth - saying: "Scotland has been dragged into a war with no exit strategy."
All but two of Scotland's MPs - Lib Dem Alistair Carmichael and Conservative David Mundell - opposed the motion to allow air strikes.
During a 10-hour debate in the Commons on Wednesday, Prime Minister David Cameron argued that action against the "medieval monsters" of IS was legal and would "keep our country safe".
There isn't much intelligence, clearly, as a lot of what is happening inside the perimeter fence is confidential.
Anecdotally, people here have said there has been an increased level of activity, both in the skies above Moray and also around the Tain bombing range which is just across the Moray Firth from here, in the last few weeks.
So clearly the RAF knew that the possibility was there - that they would be authorised to carry out increased bombing raids in Syria and also in Iraq.
The irony, I suppose, for people here is that RAF Lossiemouth is in the Moray constituency of the SNP's leader at Westminster, Angus Robertson.
He was one of the key signatories to the opposition motion which rejected the idea of airstrikes against IS targets in Syria.
Mr Robertson said this morning that the personnel here at the base are well aware of his political views, but on a personal level he wished those involved in the air strikes a safe return
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn argued that the case for war "does not stack up" - a view endorsed by Scotland's only Labour MP Ian Murray.
But Labour was split over the issue. Shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn was applauded, particularly by Conservative MPs, when he urged his own side to "confront this evil" posed by IS.
The BBC understands 66 Labour MPs sided with the government in backing military action.
The SNP voted against air strikes, with Angus Robertson arguing there was no comprehensive strategy in place to defeat IS and bring stability to the region.
A petition on the SNP website opposing air strikes in Syria been signed more than 67,000 times.
He said: "Tonight the UK parliament gave the green light to continue a complex and deadly conflict without a comprehensive plan for peace and reconstruction.
"Despite 72% of Scots being opposed, and the vast majority of Scottish MPs voting against, we will likely see planes deployed from Lossiemouth to drop bombs on the region. In normal circumstances, in a normal country, the armed forces would not be deployed.
"We are all committed to destroying Daesh [an alternative name for Islamic State] - it is about how best we do that. David Cameron has neither answered the questions about where the 70,000 ground forces are coming from, or given an insight into any plan on how to stabilise and rebuild the region."
The Liberal Democrats were split on the issue, with two of the party's eight MPs voting against David Cameron's motion.
Typhoons are the newest, fastest jets that the RAF have in service. They are equipped with very sophisticated, precision-guided weapons, high-tech surveillance and reconnaissance equipment.
The Typhoon, which entered service with the RAF in 2007, was originally designed as an air-to-air combat fighter, rather than for ground attacks. After modifications, the jets were upgraded to carry Paveway guided bombs in 2008, but they are not yet capable of carrying the Brimstone missiles - a highly accurate weapon carried by the RAF's older Tornado aircraft and against vehicles and multiple targets.
RAF Typhoons saw action for the first time in 2011 when they were involved in policing a no-fly zone over Libya, and bombed ground vehicles loyal to Colonel Gaddafi.
The Typhoon is also in use by the German, Italian, Spanish, Austrian and Royal Saudi airforces.

But former Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael said he was persuaded there was a case to extend military action into Syria.
He said: "For me, the important things were that we had legal authorisation from the United Nations Security Council and you have a very clear identifiable British national interest here to defend.
"Think of the attacks in Paris and Beirut and Sharm el-Sheikh. Look what has happened this summer with the refugee crisis in Europe - people fleeing the civil war in Syria and the participation of Daesh in that."
Seven Conservative MPs voted against the planned military action but the Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale & Tweeddale MP David Mundell was not among them.

"Nobody could sleep last night," said Sharon Yerkess, who lives metres from the crash site. "Every time I tried, I kept thinking of the huge bang I heard or thinking about the screaming. I just can't stop thinking about those people."
While the world was talking about the surprise of Donald Trump becoming US president, firefighters in south-east London were trying to free people from the wreckage of a derailed tram near the Sandilands stop.
Seven people died and more than 50 people were injured when the tram, filled with people making their way into work, overturned shortly after 06:00 GMT.
"It was an awful shock to wake up to," Sharon said. "My daughter was on her way to the tram stop when it happened.
"But this morning, it is so unnerving and eerie. This road is normally teeming with people, buses, cars, children and trams. Now it is like a ghost town."
The streets were strangely quiet as people made their way through the residential area in the run-up to rush hour. The silence was only broken by a small group of schoolchildren, talking at nervous speed about the terrifying episode.
A huge cordon was in place around the crash, blocking off neighbouring roads and the main route to East Croydon station.
And police officers guarded each entrance, only letting a handful of commuters duck under the barriers as they tried to continue with their lives.
Paul Arneill was on one of the first trams on Thursday morning - for the few stops he could go before services were suspended for police to continue their investigation.
"When I go in early, I always get a tram around that time," he said. "It was eerie going on it this morning, knowing what had happened just yesterday.
"You just don't think it could happen. I have been getting the tram ever since it started and it just part of the day for people who live round here. But people were scared this morning."
But one traveller, who was on the tram immediately before the crash, said he had not been surprised by the derailment.
"The rate you see tram drivers hare around those corners is frightening," said Con O'Sullivan. "They do go really fast when they travel on this route. I am not surprised something like this has eventually happened."
Others were hugging each other maybe just that little bit tighter as they bid farewell to loved ones only 24 hours after the crash.
Katia Muscara, who has lived in Croydon for 12 years, was in tears as she spoke about the incident - which has led to the driver being arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.
"It is even more shocking this morning as it starts to sink in," she said, after saying goodbye to her child for the day. "It is heartbreaking.
"My kids use that tram, our friends' kids use that tram. If it had been half an hour later, our children could have been on there.
"It is normally so busy on this street at this time, full of kids running around and all the traffic. To see it like this, so silent, it just hits you."
One bunch of flowers was laid just outside the cordon on Addiscombe Road to show the victims' families were in the thoughts of local people.
The card read: "To the families of all the lives lost, my deepest sympathy. From a Croydon resident and my family. RIP. God bless."
The community was coming together but the shock and sadness that is palpable on the local streets will take time to heal.
Breana Talbott was arrested after telling police the alleged crime, which she had said was committed by "three black males", was in fact a hoax.
Denison Police Chief Jay Burch called her actions "insulting to our community and especially offensive to the African-American community".
She is charged with false reporting.
Police say they will also seek restitution for the cost of the search and investigation, and are closing the case, calling the reported crime "unfounded".
Investigators say the plot began on 8 March, when a man identifying himself as Talbott's fiance called police to say that she was missing.
The man told officers that her vehicle had been found in the car park of an apartment complex with a door left open and her phone, keys and a shoe nearby.
They began to search the area, and later that night Talbott walked into a nearby church wearing just a shirt, bra, and underwear, and with scratches and cuts on her body.
The woman told church-goers, and later police officers, that she had been sexually assaulted in the woods behind the church by "three black males" wearing ski masks and driving a black SUV.
"Almost immediately, Talbott's story and allegations began to unravel," Chief Burch wrote in a press release.
Officers now believe that she staged the crime, and that she probably acted alone.
She has admitted that the injuries to her body were self-inflicted, police say.
Officials are puzzled as to why she would have made everything up.
The initial reports of the crime were widely reported online by self-avowed white nationalists, as evidence of crimes committed by black people.
"Even though we know the story to be a hoax, there is still potential damage to the reputation of the City of Denison... as many may remember the reported crime but not the outcome," the Chief Burch said.
"That is unfortunate," he added.
Pasquale Galianni, 30, made no plea at Cupar Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody.
He is alleged to have raped a 27-year-old woman in the Fife town's Doubledykes Road on Wednesday 9 April.
He is also accused of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old at the David Russell Apartments the following day.
The case was continued for further examination.
The 26-year-old has scored 48 goals in 99 appearances for Rovers, with 28 coming last season as the club won their second straight promotion.
Oxford boss Michael Appleton says he had "shaken" on a deal with Taylor.
"It has taken me a long time to determine my future. I apologise for the time involved," Taylor said.
During protracted negotiations, Taylor hired a personal trainer to stay fit while he was out of contract.
The forward admits it was "difficult to arrive at a final decision"
"I have enjoyed being a member of an incredibly successful squad during the past two years and felt a great deal of loyalty to the gaffer and to Bristol Rovers," he said.
"Although I am still very ambitious and want to play at the highest level possible, I didn't want to leave the club under a cloud and via the back door.
"If, at some point down the line, a club comes in for me then they will have to pay Bristol Rovers a fee and I can leave by the front door, with my head held high."
Taylor was top scorer as Rovers won promotion back to the Football League in 2015 via the Conference promotion final before topping the goalscoring chart in League Two last term.
"To have a striker of his calibre in our squad gives us all a tremendous boost," Rovers boss Darrell Clarke told the club's website.
"Last season he contributed 28 goals and nine assists, which means he was involved in almost 50% of the goals we scored, and I think that demonstrates his value to the team."
The length of Taylor's new deal has not been disclosed.

The moth was discovered by scientist Dr. Vazrick Nazari when they were looking at a collection of moths from the Museum of Entomology, at the University of California in America.
They noticed that one of the moths was different to the others and didn't match.
After a bit more research the moth was revealed to be a brand new species, which Dr Nazari decided to name 'Neopalpa donaldtrumpi' after Donald Trump.
The scientist said the moths bright blonde scales and unique hairdo reminded them of the president elect.
However, Donald Trump is not the only president to have an animal named after them, Barak Obama had a fish called 'Tosanoides Obama' named after him last year!
Liam Lyburd was convicted at Newcastle Crown Court of possessing an arsenal of weapons including pipe bombs and a gun, with intent to endanger life.
The judge said his threats showed he was a significant risk to the public.
In a deleted file recovered from his computer, Lyburd wrote: "People will die, there's no question about that."
Jurors heard the "cold and detached" teenager held a grudge against his former college after he was kicked off his course for bad behaviour.
Lyburd, of Hamilton Place, Newcastle, said he had not intended to hurt anyone at Newcastle College.
Police found a cache of weapons, a "kill bag" containing overalls, a mask, boots and pipe bombs at his home after they were tipped off by a member of the public concerned about his Facebook postings talking about launching a murderous attack.
The bag also contained a Glock pistol and 94 hollow-tipped expanding bullets.
Officers recovered webcam pictures Lyburd took of himself dressed for combat, armed with the pistol and brandishing a knife.
In the deleted file he said: "You people ruined my whole life, don't expect me to show mercy today. No-one disrespects me and gets away with it.
"I'll teach you people a little lesson on respect with my 9mm jacketed hollow points."
Det Supt George Duff, who led the investigation, said Lyburd was a "dangerous man who intended to cause serious harm".
"He at no point has shown any remorse for what he intended to do," he said.
Judge Paul Sloan QC commended the member of the public who alerted police to Lyburd's behaviour.
He told Lyburd that, if they had not, "it was only a matter of time before you would have put your plan into action".
"Your emotional coldness and detachment and your lack of empathy to others was self-evident," he said.
Lyburd was warned the psychiatric evidence suggested it might be a "very long time indeed" before he is considered safe enough to be released.
He laughed as he was taken away by police, telling officers they had saved lives and prevented what would have otherwise been a massacre at the college.
Nipsa, Unite and GMB members voted last month for a work-to-rule and withdrawal of on-call services and overtime.
Water supply to about 10,000 customers in counties Fermanagh and Tyrone was disrupted over the weekend.
The company said one of five pumps at its Enniskillen treatment plant broke down, and industrial action meant repairs were delayed.
The disruption continued to affect hundreds of customers on Monday.
Agreement was reached before Christmas to provide some emergency cover, but following talks facilitated by the Labour Relations Agency last week, unions rejected an offer made by management on Friday.
NI Water made proposals for changes to its pension scheme last July.
Unions say increased pension contributions could cost members up to £100 a month, and they want this to be offset by an increase in salaries.
They also want pension changes to be delayed for a year until April 2016.
NI Water say increased contributions for most staff would be much less than the £100 claimed by the union, and any pay deal would have to include changes to some working practices, including longer working days for some staff.
The city hosted part of the Tour de France in 1994 and it is hoped the race would return in 2018.
Conservative leader Donna Jones said putting a bid together was "expensive and complex" but securing the race for the area would be "fantastic".
Ms Jones said it would be a joint bid with French city Caen with support from a ferry company.
She said: "Before we can embark on it we need to make sure the risk we are taking with public money is a sensible and calculated risk.
"That's why we need key people on board."
She said work was being done to calculate the cost and logistics of a bid.
She said: "If we are successful in this bid the boost to Portsmouth, the Solent and the UK would be fantastic."
A stage of the Tour De France was held in Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and London last year.

The hosts squandered a 10-point lead as Wales won 28-25 at Twickenham, and defeat on Saturday could all but end their hopes of qualifying from Pool A.
"We've got a massive game now to build to," said Lancaster.
"There's a lot of frustration in the changing room and that frustration has to be turned into a positive mindset."
England, who led 22-12 early in the second half against Wales, have been criticised for the ill-discipline that allowed Dan Biggar to kick his side back into contention.
Biggar succeeded with all eight of his kicks, seven of which were penalties - including a 50-metre effort that put Wales into the lead in the final minutes.
Lancaster said he was "hugely disappointed" after letting a winning position slip.
"We gave a couple of penalties away which allowed Wales to build belief and momentum. Wales did well to score the points at the end and we didn't close out the game," he said.
England captain Chris Robshaw's decision to opt for touch in the final minutes instead of attempting a penalty kick, which could have secured a draw, has also been questioned.
Lancaster described the 78th-minute driving line-out that followed as "poorly executed", and said he would review the team's decision-making.
"Games are never won and lost on one decision, but obviously that was a big moment," he said.
"Lots of decisions we made were good, but decision-making at the breakdown and to give penalties away, and decision-making as to whether to go for goal or the corner are all things that players have to make in the heat of the battle.
"The one thing I would do is never hang any of the players out to dry for making those decisions. We'll review them privately, not publicly. We stay united."
Injury-hit Wales host Fiji at the Millennium Stadium on Thursday and should Warren Gatland's men secure their third win, England will have to beat the Wallabies to retain any hope of progressing into the knockout stages.
"If we said to the players you can play again tomorrow, they'd play tomorrow because they're so frustrated and disappointed having lost that game having been in such a dominant position so there'll be no problem with the mentality of the players," Lancaster added.
"It's a massive game for us and everyone knows the stakes, so I'll have no problems getting the players ready - 100% we'll be ready."
Number eight Billy Vunipola and lock Courtney Lawes both sustained knee injuries on Saturday and are "50-50" to be fit to face Australia.
Scrum-half Ben Youngs, who injured an ankle, has a slightly better chance, according to Lancaster.
Lancaster said he would announce the team on Thursday to give centre Jonathan Joseph the "best chance" to gain selection after missing the Wales match with a pectoral injury.
"Hopefully Ben Morgan and JJ will be fit again and we can consider them but Ben Youngs, Courtney Lawes and Billy Vunipola are doubts," he said.
"To a certain extent your selection is dictated by your injury situation, but clearly if someone like JJ is fit he's a high-quality player and we'd want him back in the team."

Having renewed his commitment to this "ambition" in the Conservative manifesto, he must now try to reverse a trend.
The government signalled its intent with a photocall this morning at the scene of an immigration raid, publicising a law designed to hit illegal migrant workers in the pocket.
Success or failure, though, will be dictated by reducing legal migration.
The prime minister believes better-trained Britons, more apprentices, and new EU welfare rules will help achieve that.
His decision to chair a taskforce on the topic is intended to focus minds in Whitehall.
But while crackdowns, legislation and declarations of intent make good copy, there is no guarantee they will shift the figures.
The UK cannot dictate how many EU citizens come here, or how many Britons leave.
Businesses will worry that by targeting the sort of immigration they can affect - legal migrants from outside the EU - ministers risk making it harder to hire skilled workers.
No law can change the fact there are more jobs and better pay in Britain than in many other nations.
Migrants will still want to come.
But Conservatives are keenly aware that there could be a heavy political price to pay if they go into a second election having conspicuously failed to realise their ambition.
At first archaeologists thought the remains were part of the cathedral's cemetery but then realised they had been "tipped" into the ground.
They were found during work on Durham University's Palace Green library.
Experts believe the people may have been killed by disease and were buried in a hurry, but said it was too early to say.
Richard Annis, senior archaeologist at Durham University, said: "We have found clear evidence of a mass burial and not a normal group of graves.
"The bodies have been tipped into the earth, one on top of each other, without elaborate ceremony and they are tightly packed together and jumbled.
"Some are buried in a north to south alignment, rather than the traditional east to west alignment that we would expect from a conventional medieval burial site."
His team must get permission to move the bones from the UK's Ministry of Justice before it can begin trying to determine how old they are.
By law the remains must eventually be reinterred in an approved burial site.
Mr Annis added: "The process of post-excavation processing, examination and analysis is essential to allow us to draw proper conclusions about this group of human remains.
"It is too early to say what they may be."
Shelter Scotland's Perth Road shop was given about 60 designer dresses, along with knitwear, jackets and trousers.
The shop is selling the brand new dresses for £30 each, almost a tenth of their actual cost.
Shop manager Karen Kelbie said: "In my 20 years of managing the shop, I've never seen anything like it.
"We're all still in shock.
"What could be better than dancing the night away in a beautiful dress, knowing you've just helped a vulnerable homeless person or a family living in poor quality housing?"
The donation was made by Prego Boutique in Broughty Ferry.
Owner Liza Sinclair said: "Many of our staff and customers live very fortunate lives where we don't have to think about where we're going to sleep each night or if we're going to lose the roof over our heads altogether.
"If by doing our little bit we can make a difference to even one person, then it'll all be worth it."
Southern Railway trains from the south coast into London have been disrupted for weeks because of industrial action and high levels of staff sickness.
"The shambles we have seen is turning into a crisis," said Peter Kyle, Labour MP for Hove and Portslade.
But rail minister Claire Perry insisted services were improving.
Mr Kyle told the House of Commons during transport questions: "I'm getting people writing to me who are being late for work every day and their bosses are giving them written warnings now.
Mims Davies, Tory MP for Eastleigh, described Southern Railway's performance as "shameful" and said it could not be tolerated.
The watchdog Transport Focus has published figures showing passenger satisfaction was lower on Southern and Southeastern services than for any other train operator in the country.
Caroline Lucas, the Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, urged Ms Perry and the Department for Transport to transfer the Southern franchise into public ownership.
A man who commutes to London from Hove told BBC South East his employer could no longer book early client meetings as he had no idea whether he would turn up.
"I am therefore simply not fit for purpose and there is nothing concrete to suggest that the situation will change," he said.
"His [the boss's] response is entirely rational.
"My options are therefore to live in London during the week, waving my young family goodbye and switching my pension contributions into accommodation costs, or get fired."
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union is in dispute with Southern about the role of conductors.
Ms Perry said investment on the routes meant things were "getting better".
But she added: "If your constituents would like to write to bosses, may I suggest they write to the union bosses involved, who I think are doing their members a grave disservice by bringing them out on completely unjustified grounds.
"This is a dispute about who presses the buttons that operate the doors and the change in the role of the second staff member."
Southeastern and Network Rail said that at the time of the Transport Focus survey, between 11 January and 20 March, factors including the partial collapse of the sea wall at Dover and landslides at Barnehurst affected trains.
Storm Imogen also hit services and there were infrastructure failings around London Bridge.

Pakistan posted their highest World Cup score with opener Nahida Khan (79) helping them to 206-8.
The Proteas reached 113-0 before losing five wickets for 34 runs in a frenzied spell which included three run-outs.
It was left to number nine Shabnim Ismail to strike consecutive boundaries in the 49th over to secure a win.
Pakistan, who have not won a World Cup match since 2009, face England on Tuesday, again at Leicester, while South Africa play New Zealand at Derby on Wednesday.

Three others were seriously injured in Wednesday night's blast at the factory in West Midnapur district.
It was not immediately clear how the fire started.
Accidental explosions are common at Indian fireworks factories, which provide fireworks for weddings, festivals and other ceremonies.
In 2012, 34 people were killed and 30 others injured in a massive blaze at a fireworks factory in the southern Tamil Nadu state.
In the latest explosion near Pingla, the owner of the illegal factory and his wife have died. The building owner has been arrested.
The BBC Bengali's Amitabha Bhattasali in Kolkata (Calcutta) says the villagers are claiming that the death toll is higher, and that several bodies are still lying in a nearby pond.
Earlier this week, at least nine people were killed in an explosion at a fireworks factory in the western state of Maharashtra.
Many plants once found in meadows now only thrive beside roads, where they provide essential habitat for insects, says charity Plantlife International.
But it says one in 10 of the plants is at risk of extinction, in part because councils cut verges too early.
Local authorities say shorter verges are safer for drivers and pedestrians.
Dr Trevor Dines, botanical specialist for the charity, said more than 97% of meadows had been destroyed in England since the 1930s, with road verges becoming the last stretches of natural habitat for wildlife such as bees and other insects.
"Most of our farmland is now hostile to many of our wild plants and other wildlife due to the loss of wild flower meadows and the use of herbicides and fertilisers," he told BBC News.
"The roadside verges are often the last refuge for wild flowers and the wildlife there depends on them.
"It's almost as if plants have been squeezed out of farmland and now they're being squeezed out of road verges from bad management."
The Local Government Association has said keeping road verges well-maintained means motorists have a good line of sight and allows pedestrians to walk more safely alongside busy roads.
Plantlife International says road verges are of particular importance to rare plants such as Deptford pink, tower mustard and spiked rampion.
They also act as wildlife corridors and provide pollen and nectar for bees, butterflies and moths.
The wild plant conservation charity says many of Britain's road verges are being cut down in full flower threatening the wildflowers and the wildlife that depends on them.
It is calling on members of the public to sign a petition urging councils to do more to enhance the wildlife value of road verges.
Its management principles for road verges include:
Dr Dines added: "If we just give them a chance, wildflowers can return."

Powys council's cabinet said the loss of £1.6m over the next three years has affected the number of classes it could afford and it was launching a review.
It will look at whether its sixth forms are financially viable and educationally sustainable.
The Welsh government said it is working with Powys to minimise the impact of cuts to learning.
The council launched a similar review three years ago but eventually decided not to shut any sixth forms in the county.
Since then, the council has backed the takeover of the struggling John Beddoes School in Presteigne by Newtown High School, meaning the number of sixth forms in the county will drop from 13 to 12 from April.
Council cabinet member for learning Myfanwy Alexander said: "Changes to the way post-16 funding is delivered and a decline in pupil numbers have had a severe impact on Powys sixth forms.
"Learner choice will be hit hard and the sustainability of Powys sixth forms will be seriously affected."
In September 2012, the council was able to fund 232 further education classes across the authority area.
But according to the council, the decline in pupil numbers and changes to post-16 education budgets means only 181 classes will be funded in September 2014.
Ms Alexander said she feared a "reduced menu of subjects" for pupils, leading to some students travelling outside of Powys to study.
She said the education authority had made "strong representations" to the Welsh government on the funding changes, and had asked for a rethink on funding levels or risk "damaging changes in Powys".
Responding to the council's comments, the Welsh government's deputy minister for skills and technology Ken Skates said: "We have been open about the stark reality of the financial challenges ahead and the difficult decisions that we are facing.
"The post-16 sector remains a key priority for this government and we are working closely with colleagues in Powys and across Wales to minimise the impact of any reductions on learning."
Controversial plans to save around £20m was approved by councillors in Powys last week. The decision also means about 400 posts will be lost at the authority. | Zafar Ansari hit a century as Surrey dominated the third day's play against Derbyshire at The Oval.

Daniel Rooney was 18 when he was shot in the St James Crescent of west Belfast in September 1972. He died later in hospital.
The circumstances leading to his death are disputed.
His body is being exhumed at Milltown cemetery, as part of an investigation into the Military Reaction Force (MFR).
The MRF was an Army unit operating in Belfast in the early 1970s.
In 2013, former members told the BBC's Panorama programme that as well as "hunting down" IRA members in Belfast, they shot and killed unarmed civilians.
Analysis - Panorama reporter John Ware
Panorama showed that, between May and September 1972, there were several unprovoked "drive-by" attacks on unarmed civilians by MRF soldiers similar to the one that killed Mr Rooney.
At the time, locals assumed the gunmen were loyalists. One attack is alleged to have been preceded by a friendly wave from the driver before a machine gun, protruding from a rear window, cut down three unarmed men chatting at a taxi rank.
On this occasion, the MRF soldiers were armed with a weapon, commonly used by the IRA, known as the "Chicago grinder".
Read more.
The investigation into the unit began two years ago, and encompasses 10 shootings.
It has been described as a "very large undertaking".
No post-mortem examination was conducted when Mr Rooney died in 1972, but it is now hoped that bullets could be found buried alongside him.
A team of experts including pathologists and forensic anthropologists has been involved in removing his remains.
Det Ch Insp Neil McGuinness said it was the most complicated case he has worked on during his 20-year policing career.
He confirmed it is a criminal investigation, and said anything found would be subject to forensic tests.
"Myself and my team are absolutely determined to get to the truth of what happened both for the Rooney family and all the other families involved in this investigation," he said.
That could mean interviewing soldiers based in Belfast at the time of Mr Rooney's death.
Although he described this as a massive investigation, Mr McGuinness said he does not expect there will be any other exhumations.
"This has been very extraordinary, very difficult for ourselves and the Rooney family. It's challenging but it's necessary for the investigation."
Solicitor Paidraig O Muirigh, representing the Rooney family, said relatives were at the graveside.
He said: "The family are very emotional. It's been distressing for them, and very challenging. But this is a necessity, they're supportive of the operation.
"The Rooney family hope that we can answer the question of whether there's further ballistic evidence available to assist the ongoing investigation and forthcoming inquest."
A medical report from Mr Rooney's entry to hospital confirmed there was an entry wound, but did not cite an exit wound.
Mr O Muirigh added: "That leaves the possibility that there is a bullet within the remains of Daniel Rooney."
Detectives from the Legacy Investigation Branch are conducting the operation at Milltown cemetery.
Two days have been set aside for the exhumation.
The 2013 Panorama programme was told the MRF consisted of about 40 men handpicked from across the Army.
Before it was disbanded 40 years ago, plain-clothed soldiers carried out round-the-clock patrols of west Belfast in unmarked cars.
One of them described their mission as "to draw out the IRA and to minimise their activities... if they needed shooting, they'd be shot".

The latest webcam images of the nest show what the RSPB described as EJ's "snow doughnut" has gone.
EJ has been visiting RSPB Scotland's Loch Garten reserve near Grantown on Spey in the Cairngorms for 15 years.
Staff at the reserve said EJ had experienced wintry conditions before and the snow could even act as an insulator.
However, the staff added that they could not remember EJ, whose large nest is in a tree, encountering so much snow during her visits to the loch.
EJ and her mate Odin are the most successful breeding pair at the Loch Garten site.
Over previous seasons 17 of their chicks have fledged.

The 46-year-old ex-Nottingham Forest and Rotherham forward joined manager Grant McCann's staff last June, but has left after just nine months.
Peterborough have won just four games in 2017 and are currently on a five-match winless run following their 1-1 with struggling Oldham on Saturday.
Posh are 12th in League One, eight points outside the play-off places with seven games remaining.
Glover told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I had a chat with [director of football] Barry Fry and he decided it was probably best to terminate my contract. That was the decision taken at board level.
"Results have been poor and I think someone has carried the can for that."
The charge will be introduced in April and will help pay for policing in the city centre and street cleaning.
Original proposals to charge up to 800 venues between £299 and £4,400 were scrapped in March after concerns they would not raise enough revenue to produce "significant improvements".
The fee would depend on the rateable value and use of the premises.
Under the revised proposals, which will be trialled for a year, premises in the Business Improvement Districts (BID) which make a financial contribution towards initiatives that tackle crime and disorder will be exempt.
Premises with overnight accommodation, theatres, cinemas, bingo halls and village pubs will also be exempt.
Merseyside Police estimate the annual cost of policing the city centre from midnight to 06:00 to be about £540,000.
Gary Price, who represents Llandrindod Wells on Powys council, is said to have disclosed "sensitive information which was given to him in confidence".
The complaint relates to a letter Mr Price wrote to a newspaper about the council-owned Lakeside restaurant.
Mr Price said he had not decided whether or not to appeal.
New operators are being sought to run the restaurant in Llandrindod Wells following a demonstration last year over its future.
But the authority has said fears over its future are unfounded and it is committed to keeping it open.
Mr Price, who represents the ward of Llandrindod North and is a member of the Shires Independent Group, said: "Back in March 2012 an item went before the then cabinet about the Lakeside restaurant.
"I wrote a letter to the newspaper about the restaurant and the then portfolio holder for corporate governance made a complaint to the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales.
"The ombudsman investigated and said I had breached the members' code of conduct.
"I have not made my mind up about whether or not to appeal.
"I will say that the process has taken about 14 months from start to finish and you have got to ask if it is value for money."
A council spokesman said Mr Price appeared before its standards committee last Thursday for an alleged breach of the code of conduct.
"The hearing, which was held before five independent people and two county councillors, alleged that councillor Price had breached the code of conduct for members in that he disclosed sensitive information which was given to him in confidence and that he knew or reasonably should have known, it to be confidential," said the spokesman.
"The committee found that councillor Price had breached the code of conduct and that he should be suspended for a calendar month."
The council said Mr Price had 21 days to appeal against the decision, with the suspension not starting until the appeal period was over or concluded.
Liverpool started the 2016-17 season strongly and were only six points behind leaders Chelsea in January.
But they fell away with only one league win in January and February, and finished fourth, 17 points behind the champions.
"We'll be playing for the championship. We don't start a season by not having any ambitions," said Klopp.
"We have to have our goals and I think we have a very good team now. We did have a bit of bad luck last season.
"I think we can play a little bit better. Let's hope everything will work very well and that there isn't much more to improve."
Klopp said on Monday that playmaker Philippe Coutinho was not for sale, despite interest from Barcelona.
His side face Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup on Tuesday as part of their pre-season preparations.
They will be without forward Divock Origi, who has a muscle problem, and defender Joe Gomez, who has a knee injury.
They begin their Premier League campaign on Saturday 12 August at Watford.
Chastain received a special honour at the 2015 Critics' Choice Awards in Hollywood last week.
Picking up her award on what was the birthday of civil rights campaigner Martin Luther King, the Zero Dark Thirty and Interstellar star used her acceptance speech to urge those in the room to "stand together against homophobic, sexist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic and racist agendas".
Hours earlier the Oscar nominations had been announced, with the Academy facing criticism that all 20 contenders in the main acting categories were white and there were no female nominees in the directing or writing categories.
A few days later, Chastain is in London promoting her latest film, JC Chandor's 1980s-set crime drama A Most Violent Year, and happy to expand on the issue.
"The industry has a diversity problem, absolutely," she says. "I don't see it as a situation where there are some bad guys over there and you need to fix this.
"I'm part of the industry so I'm part of the problem."
She points out that only 3% of directors of photography are women. "That's insane to me. Asian-American actors aren't being represented in films. There are a lot of problems in the industry."
After several years working in mainly TV roles, Chastain came to global attention in a string of high-profile films released around 2011-12.
They included Terrence Malick's epic The Tree of Life, opposite Brad Pitt, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes; spy thriller The Debt, and drama The Help which earned the actress her first Oscar nomination.
In 2013, she earned a second Oscar nomination for Kathryn Bigelow's Osama bin Laden thriller Zero Dark Thirty.
"I know I'm very lucky," says Chastain. "I get sent incredible scripts. I'm reading the best material that there is, but when I go to the movies as an audience member I'm longing for many colours. I like a palette that I can learn about life.
"Sometimes I only get one point of view. I'm sad that when I go to a movie I see 20 male characters to every two female. So I would like that to change."
She adds: "I do not think that people in the industry are sexist and racist and homophobic. But there still is this status quo - the stories haven't changed - so the more we in the industry talk about it and say, 'This isn't right,' and do what we can to bring in more female points of view - that's the way to go."
In A Most Violent Year, Chastain plays Anna, a gangster's daughter married to businessman Abel Morales, played by Oscar Isaac, who comes under pressure when his oil trucks keep being hijacked on the streets of New York.
Chastain and Isaac trained together as students at Juilliard School in New York City, but this is the first time they have worked together.
In one of the film's key scenes their car strikes a deer on a road and Anna takes control as they decide how to deal with the injured animal.
"That's when she breaks free from the role she's been playing," explains Chastain. "Anna has a capacity for violence unlike anybody else in the film. I think she gets turned on by violence and probably grew up in a violent household."
Some have compared the character of Anna to Lady Macbeth.
Chastain agrees up to a point: "The difference between Lady Macbeth and Anna is that Lady Macbeth goes mad. She's a lot colder. She doesn't have the vulnerability that Lady Macbeth has."
With almost 20 films on her CV since she stepped into the spotlight in 2011, what's been the biggest change she's had to deal with?
"There's been no real big change in terms of fame," admits Chastain. "Since Interstellar more people recognise me. Now when I go to a restaurant sometimes one person from each table will look at me and then they go on with their dinner. So not that much of a deal."
But she does identify one problem in her professional life. "The one thing I need to work on is that I have a capacity to overwork. I have an affinity for work - I love it.
"I've been given so many opportunities to work that it's very difficult for me to say no. I need to figure out how I can see my family and my friends and be healthy and work where it doesn't shadow my other life."
A Most Violent Year is out in the UK on 23 January.
The Belmont Hotel in Llandudno was one of the few hotels in the UK catering entirely for blind guests.
It closed in January due to financial reasons with visitor numbers falling.
The 27-room hotel was sold by the Royal Blind Society (RBS) to developer Mbi, and the two are now working to refit six rooms for the visually impaired.
The venue is due to reopen under its new name, the Heritage Hotel, in April or May.
The company says the rooms will feature "tactile signage, colour contrasts, talking alarm clocks and lifts and large-print menus".
Eileen Harding, chief executive of RBS, said: "We are delighted to work with MBi, who we believe have the interest of our charity at the heart of the project."
She and another girl are accused of murdering Angela Wrightson, who was found with more than 100 injuries at the Hartlepool house in December 2014.
The girls, then aged 13 and 14, deny the charge. At Leeds Crown Court, the older has admitted manslaughter.
John Elvidge QC, for the younger girl, said the fact she was on her phone at the time showed she did not take part.
The court has heard the two girls, who are now both 15, used a variety of weapons to beat Ms Wrightson to death over a period of several hours.
The prosecution argues the girls were both "volatile" and an argument with Ms Wrightson, who had been drinking alcohol all day, spiralled into murder when both girls attacked her.
The phone had been used throughout the night, including to take selfies and download music during and after the attack, the jury was told.
Jamie Hill QC, representing the older girl, has argued she did not understand the consequences of her actions, citing her low IQ, psychological problems and a troubled upbringing.
"I am not suggesting either girl went to the house to cause violence," Mr Hill said, during his summing up.
"To be honest, I doubt if they even looked past the end of their noses. I suggest [the older girl] got dragged into a dispute [the younger girl] had with Angela Wrightson.
"It is just a terrible moment in history when these three people collided in the most appalling and tragic way.
"[The older girl] inflicted terrible violence against Angela Wrightson but is not a cold-blooded killer".
He told the court the older girl was "led" by the younger, who had "the stronger personality" of the two.
But, Mr Elvidge said that was not the case, and the fact the younger girl was using her phone to message friends, indicated she "was not a raging monster out of control", but was so distracted by messaging friends she could have been unaware of what was going on.
"Her alibi in this case was a telephone," he said.
The trial continues.
The lines on Leigh Road - part of the Clifton East residents' parking scheme - were highlighted by the Bristol Post.
The scheme was introduced by elected mayor George Ferguson and has divided public opinion.
Campaigner Michael Owen said the lines were "over the top" while the council said the lines were there to ensure vehicles did not park unsafely.
Michael Owen, who is against the parking zone, tweeted a picture of a toy racing car alongside the short section of lines.
He told BBC News he thought the markings "were completely over the top".
"It would be virtually impossible to park anything in the space - it's even too small for a Smart car.
"It's really ludicrous and so bureaucratic and just another foul-up from the council."
Clifton East is the latest zone to be rolled out as part of Mr Ferguson's city-wide plan to stop commuter parking. It is due to go live on 1 June.
Those in favour believe the measures will make it easier to park outside their home.
A Bristol City Council spokeswoman said the lines would make sure "appropriate access for emergency services, refuse lorries and delivery vehicles and give residents enough space to get in and out of driveways and garages".
"Our intention is to always optimise the available parking capacity in RPS areas," she added.
"Double yellow lines are installed at locations where parked vehicles would either cause an obstruction or would make the road unsafe."
Last April, Clifton traders drove a tank through the area protesting at the "lack of consultation" and handed in a 5,000-name petition.
Then in September, a number of major employers including the university and a hospital trust called for a rethink of the city-wide parking zone.
The Crues were comfortable 5-1 winners over Ballinamallard United, while Linfield triumphed 4-0 over Ards.
Third-placed Ballymena came from a goal down to beat Glentoran 4-1.
Cliftonville were 3-0 victors away to Portadown, Coleraine scored twice late on to draw 2-2 with Glenavon and Dungannon saw off Carrick Rangers 3-0.
Re-live all Saturday's Irish Premiership action as it happened here
Paul Heatley tucked the ball past Stefan McCusker after Declan Caddell supplied the assist to give Crusaders a 16th-minute lead at Seaview.
Ryan Mayse beat the offside trap and home goalkeeper Sean O'Neill to level 10 minutes later but Jordan Owens restored his side's advantage with a 33rd-minute looping header.
Stephen Baxter's team added second half goals through Craig McClean's header from a Caddell corner on 55 and then two strikes from Gavin Whyte.
Linfield were always in control at Windsor Park as they cantered to a comfortable victory, which saw Ards drop two places to sixth in the Premiership standings.
Aaron Burns got the goalscoring underway with a neat left-foot finish and Stephen Lowry made it 2-0 to the hosts four minutes later.
Kirk Millar fired in the third before the break and an Emmett Friars own goal on the hour completed the scoring.
Ballymena trailed the Glens 1-0 at half-time at the Showgrounds thanks to Curtis Allen's well executed left-foot finish but Allan Jenkins brought the sides level after poor defending by the visitors six minutes after the interval.
Willie Faulkner's header from a right-wing cross on the hour edged the Sky Blues ahead and two late Tony Kane penalties ensured that David Jeffrey's outfit took maximum points.
Glenavon looked set to leave Ballycastle Road with three points after Eoin Bradley headed in Andy Hall's cross in the 32nd minute and Kevin Braniff slid home a second on 67.
Jamie McGonigle pulled one back with five minutes remaining and Jordan Allen steered home the equaliser from McGonigle's teasing cross in the 88th minute.
Stefan Lavery gave Dungannon the lead against Carrick with his first touch, a glancing header, after 68 minutes, with Andy Mitchell then grabbing two goals to give the final scoreline a more convincing look.
Like the Swifts, Cliftonville scored three times in the second half as they saw off Portadown 3-0 at Shamrock Park to move up to fourth spot in the league.
Jason McGuinness broke the deadlock on 55, substitute David McDaid tapped home the second on 75 and Stephen Garrett grabbed the third in added time.
Network Rail was recently forced into an embarrassing admission that it can't deliver three huge modernisation projects on time or on budget.
Sir David, who was speaking exclusively to the BBC, ran Network Rail between 2011 and 2014.
He is now executive chairman of the High Speed 2 (HS2) project.
During the interview, he was also keen to back Network Rail's current boss, Mark Carne, describing him as "strong".
"We are highly supportive. Don't underestimate how difficult it is working on live railway," he said.
Sir David stressed that the massive cost overruns at Network Rail won't affect the budget of HS2. They are separate companies but both funded by the government.
HS2 "has a defined budget controlled by the Treasury", he told me. "There is no reason to confuse them."
Network Rail has bitten off more than it can chew.
Having not electrified a big line for twenty-plus years, they agreed to electrify three at once. Two of those schemes, through the Midlands and across the Pennines, have since been "paused", while they concentrate on the third, beefing up the link between London and the South West of England and South Wales.
I have spoken to a large number of very senior people in the industry, people who don't want to go on the record (to be clear, I do not mean Sir David Higgins).
They were throwing punches everywhere. At Network Rail for misjudging the costs and staffing problems. At the regulator, who did warn of problems ahead but still agreed to the plans and the costs. And at the government, who plenty of people feel knew the scale of the problems before the election, something ministers vehemently deny.
But a narrative emerged amongst several well placed people I spoke to.
A feeling that the board currently running Network Rail simply didn't have enough railway experience to see the problems looming on the horizon. There has been quite a "brain drain" of senior execs, I've been told.
"Everyone at the top has come in at the top, they haven't worked their way up". And there were suggestions that no-one was offering "practical counsel" to the new boss, an oil man, Mark Carne.
One person said to me, "I feel for Mark Carne, he's inherited something extremely challenging".
I asked Sir David if he felt there was a lack of relevant expertise at the top of his old company.
"I don't accept that", he told me. "I think that Peter [Hendy, the new chairman] and Mark Carne are a strong team, a supportive partner."
Another critical factor came last September, when Network Rail's finances, including its £38bn debt, were put onto the government's balance sheet. In the old days, the company might have borrowed more money from private investors, if the regulator approved, to see projects through.
One very experienced person suggested that, "ministers might turn a blind eye" to the extra costs, as long as the job got done.
Now all the money comes from the Treasury, a change which jointly restricts flexibility and increases scrutiny from politicians. It represents a "sea change" according to one person I spoke to.
This didn't happen overnight. Plans to spend a record amount of money on our railways began in September 2011. Everyone was involved - industry, Network Rail, the government, the regulator.
But even after years of negotiation, fundamental details haven't been worked out.
For example, are there enough specialist engineers to do the job? And how tricky will it be to make major changes to all those Victorian bridges and tunnels whilst still running trains on the line during the day?
Network Rail bought a purpose built, £45m factory train that was meant to put in 120 electrification piles a week. One experienced person told me the best he'd heard it manage was 30. Apparently, it can be quicker on some days, but it was meant to replace all those missing engineers and it hasn't worked as they hoped.
Sir David Higgins says there won't be similar issues with HS2 though. It's "very, very different", he told me. "For us, it's like trying to build a new motorway. Our electrification is very simple. They [Network Rail] are having to work out of hours, trying to modify track and bridges on the existing railway."
To be clear, Network Rail also does a lot of things right. The repairs after storms destroyed the line at Dawlish were phenomenal. They're balancing aged infrastructure with record growth, which is no mean feat.
So now we sit and wait for the new chair, Sir Peter Hendy, to report back in the autumn on what projects will actually go ahead, when, and how much they will cost.
The government's under a lot of pressure to prove its much vaunted plans for a "northern powerhouse", won't suffer as a result.

The video posted online showings aerial close ups of some of London's best known landmarks, has been condemned by professional drone pilots for being "dangerous".
They claim the filming violates a number of rules and regulations surrounding the safe use of unmanned devices in built-up and crowded areas.
BBC London's Emma North reports.
Gidman, 33, whose current contract with Gloucestershire was due to expire, will fill the expected gap left if Moeen Ali remains an England regular next summer.
The announcement of Gidman's move comes just a day after he made a career-best 264 against Leicestershire at Bristol.
Gidman, whose brother Will is also leaving Nevil Road to join Notts, made his Gloucestershire debut in 2002.
"At the moment our experienced batters are Moeen Ali and Daryl Mitchell," said Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes.
"And, with Moeen's potential future England commitments increasing, to have Alex as another experienced senior batter in the category of Daryl and Moeen can only be a benefit.
"If you look at some of the recent innings he has played, they have been quite outstanding. One of them was against us but also to get 260-odd in the current game against Leicestershire is also a fantastic achievement.
"We are getting someone who is in the very best form of his career. We need a middle-order player with experience who our young players can play around and learn from."
Gloucestershire chief executive Will Brown said: "We thank Alex for the huge amount he has contributed to Gloucestershire cricket. We fully appreciate his desire for a fresh challenge at this stage in his career."
Meanwhile, Worcestershire have lost overseas paceman Mitchell McClenaghan for their final Championship game, following his father's death back in New Zealand.
McClenaghan, 28, who replaced Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal as Worcestershire's overseas player in mid-July, will fly home following the end of the current County Championship Division Two game against promotion rivals Surrey at New Road.
Nowell, 23, returns to the Chiefs squad this weekend against Sale after helping England retain the Six Nations title.
Asked how high Exeter could finish, he said: "I think top two - we obviously want to try and push for the top one.
"It'll only be our fault if we do let it slip now, because it isn't as if we have to chase anyone - we're up there."
Exeter, beaten Premiership finalists last season, are currently second in the table, five points behind leaders Wasps with five games remaining.
"We've worked so hard at the start of the season to get ourselves those points and get ourselves that high," Nowell told BBC Radio Devon. "We need to stay up there and we just need to carry on picking up points where we can."
Chiefs assistant coach Ali Hepher, who says the club have done "most of their business" for next season, believes it does not matter too much if they have to play an away play-off semi-final.
"First and foremost we want to get into those play-offs but our away form has been so good we wouldn't actually worry too much if we were away from home," he said.
"But equally you want to be on your home patch - it gives you a definite advantage."
Cornish-born Nowell, has been spoken about as a possible member of the British and Irish Lions squad for the summer tour of New Zealand, but would not be drawn on his chances.

Monfils, the 15th seed, won 7-6 (7-1) 6-4 6-4 to reach the third round - and leave Britain with four players in the last 32 of the singles.
Andy Murray, Johanna Konta, Aljaz Bedene and Heather Watson will all play third-round matches on Friday.
Jamie Murray and Brazil's Bruno Soares beat Roman Jebavy and Jiri Vesely 7-6 (9-7) 6-2 6-4 in the doubles.
Monfils, 30, goes on to face compatriot Adrian Mannarino, who beat Japan's Yuichi Sugita in five sets.
With 15,000 spectators on Centre Court and the temperature approaching 40C, it was the more experienced Monfils who rose to the occasion.
"Kyle has won a round at Wimbledon and been out on Centre Court, but I think he can improve," said former British number one Tim Henman.
"He's 50 in the world but I think with the weapons he's got, he needs to be more comfortable coming forward, improve his defensive skills and mentally have more belief in himself."
Edmund's first-round win over Alex Ward was his first at Wimbledon, at the fifth time of asking, but the 22-year-old could not pull off a shock on the biggest stage of all.
The world number 50 ended the match with 14 unforced errors off his forehand, a huge shot that is the bedrock of his game.
Edmund, currently without a coach, had his chances against Monfils but could not capitalise on three break points in the ninth game, and then played a poor tie-break.
The fragile Monfils, who has a long history of injury problems, fell heavily as Edmund recovered a break midway through the second set but again the Briton failed to build momentum.
Monfils reeled off three straight games to take the second set, and recovered from 3-0 down in the third as Edmund's challenge faded away after two hours and 12 minutes.
"It was a great match to learn from," said Edmund.
"I got my game out on court, which is something I wanted to do, and just lack a bit of maturity at this stage.
"A few shots in certain points or match situations I just needed to be better on. I'm only 22 years old, I don't know all the answers. That's why it's a great thing to learn from."
Tim Henman, six-time Wimbledon semi-finalist
I just want more from Kyle, and that's because I think he's a very, very good player. I don't think he should be ranked 50, I think he should be knocking on the door of the top 30 and then the top 20.
But there are still areas he can add to his game. He's got such a big forehand, but if he can look to move forward and finish the point occasionally at the net it will give him an extra dimension and put a little bit more doubt into his opponent's mind.
Mentally, his character on the court, he needs to express himself a little bit better. That will help him with his overall belief because he is a very, very good player and I would like to see him back here at the championships next year definitely seeded, and definitely in the second week. For me, he's still scratching the surface.
John Whitbread, from Leicestershire, put the £1,800 trip to the Dominican Republic on eBay in the hope of finding a female companion.
But the two highest bidders failed to pay the winning sum.
He instead sold £10 raffle tickets and the lucky winner drawn out of a hat has agreed to jet off with him.
The "Jilted John" raffle raised £1,420 for Balls to Cancer.
Mr Whitbread confirmed to the BBC that the winner had agreed to accompany him to the Caribbean.
The 32-year-old, who grew up in Derbyshire, split from his fiancée six weeks before their wedding.
He was determined not to go on the honeymoon alone and so auctioned off his partner's place - to women only - on eBay.
After the top two bidders failed to pay, he decided to hold a raffle instead.
This might be a useful statement of intent but as a former leader of the House of Commons - the man responsible for looking after legislation - Hague should (and maybe does) know that any such Act would be, legalistically, total nonsense.
Why so?
Let's say that the Tories win the election and put a No Tax Rises Act on to the Statute Book. What then, in this legislation, prevents the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whacking up tax? Absolutely nothing whatsoever.
As any first-year politics undergraduate will tell you, Parliament cannot bind or restrict itself against future measures that it may or may not enact. So if two pieces of legislation contradict each other, then the newer piece stands, and the older legislation is by de facto removed and superseded.
Parliamentary form
The budget is given effect by a Finance Act - a piece of legislation just like any other. So a government could, if it wishes, pass a No Tax Rises Act on Day One of a Parliament, and on Day Two produce a Finance Bill that does exactly the opposite.
In 2010, just months before the general election, the then Labour chancellor Alistair Darling introduced a Fiscal Responsibility Bill that put a statutory duty on the Treasury to meet specific targets for reduction of government borrowing and debt.
The Conservative Party voted against that Bill (and has repealed it since taking office). Then shadow chancellor George Osborne called the Bill "vacuous and irrelevant legislation".
He went on to ask: "Why is he the first chancellor in history to feel that he needs an Act of Parliament on top of a Budget statement?" He then proffered two potential answers: "Either he does not trust himself to secure sound public finances, or he knows that the public do not trust him to secure them. Neither is exactly a ringing endorsement."
Parliament has passed financial constraints into law before - for example, a requirement that the government meets the UN development goal of spending 0.7% on international development.
What happens if the government does not? Are charges brought? Do ministers get their wages docked or face the sack? No. The government has to write to the Commons explaining why the target has not been met. Neither this Act, nor the Labour one mentioned above, contained any effective sanction. Why should they, when in truth, they are about signalling intent? No sanctions are included because none would ever be used.
We might also wonder what sort of "from one leader to another" chats William Hague and David Cameron had about the policy? After all, Hague had a somewhat unhappy experience when he was Conservative Party leader.
In 1999, at the party conference in Blackpool, he issued a Tax Guarantee, promising that a Conservative government would not raise taxes, adding that "there will be no escape clauses, no fudging" on it. Within a year this had changed to: "We are being clear that in the event of severe recession, unexpected acts of God or war, that our commitment to health, our commitment to prudent economic management, come first."
Here's hoping for calm waters.

Peers defied ministers by 358 to 256 to guarantee the rights of EU nationals living in the UK after Brexit.
The government said it was "disappointed" at the first defeat for its draft legislation.
MPs will have the chance to remove the Lords' amendment when the bill returns to the House of Commons.
Before then, next Tuesday, the Lords will consider backing other possible amendments to the bill, which authorises Theresa May to trigger Brexit.
Leader of the Commons David Lidington told MPs on Thursday the bill was a "straightforward" one giving the PM the power to trigger the two-year Article 50 process of leaving the EU.
"And we will therefore seek to resist changes that would make that negotiating task more difficult," he said.
The vote came after a heated debate in the Lords where the government was accused of treating EU citizens like "bargaining chips".
Ministers attempted to stave off defeat, saying the issue was a priority for the government but should be tackled as part of a deal that also protected UK expats overseas.
The amendment backed by the Lords requires the government to introduce proposals within three months of Article 50 to ensure EU citizens in the UK have the same residence rights after Brexit.
The Department for Exiting the EU said: "We are disappointed the Lords have chosen to amend a bill that the Commons passed without amendment.
"The bill has a straightforward purpose - to enact the referendum result and allow the government to get on with the negotiations."
The government said its position had "repeatedly been made clear", saying it wanted to guarantee the rights of EU citizens and British nationals "as early as we can".
Brexit Secretary David Davis said ministers had hoped to secure agreement on the issue at the European Council in December "but we couldn't get everybody to agree at that point".
Government sources tonight sound relaxed.
They knew this vote was likely to go against them. And it's an issue that the government believes it has a clear defence on.
Indeed, even during Theresa May's leadership campaign before she moved into Number 10, she articulated the same position. In her view, it would be unwise to guarantee the rights of the three million or so EU citizens in this country, before other EU countries are ready to do the same for British citizens abroad.
For her opponents that's distasteful, immoral even, because many people who have made their lives in the UK could be used, so the phrase goes, as "bargaining chips" in a negotiation.
There is little sign however of the government giving way despite the defeat.

Former Lords leader Lord Strathclyde said the vote represented "wrong-headed and muddled thinking".
He said it was difficult to see where a compromise between the government's position and that taken by the Lords could be found.
Crossbencher Lord Kerslake, a former head of the civil service, said the vote showed that the Lords overwhelmingly felt the rights of EU citizens in the UK was an issue that should be sorted out now.
He told BBC One's Breakfast that while the government had given assurances that it wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, there was a risk it could take two years if the EU decided it wants all issues included in a single deal.
Crossbencher Baroness Meacher said she understood there were at least 30 Conservative MPs who would vote to support the amendment in the Commons, even though she anticipates Tory whips will "work extremely hard with all sorts of bribes to get these people to vote with the government".
Labour's shadow Lords leader Baroness Smith said there was a "moral", a "legal" and a "pragmatic" case in favour of guaranteeing EU nationals' rights.
Seven Conservative peers voted in favour of the amendment, which was proposed by Labour with the support of the Liberal Democrats.
Shortly after the Lords vote, MEPs in the European Parliament debated the status of EU migrants in the UK.
Justice Commissioner Vera Jourova told MEPs that EU citizens in the UK and British citizens elsewhere in the EU "deserve to know what their rights will be" after Brexit.
She said the matter should be addressed "as soon as possible" but that negotiations could only begin after the UK has triggered Article 50.

Ashraf Haydari of Lethbridge Road in Exeter, Devon, visited the family and was left alone with the baby for a few moments when he carried out the attack.
The baby had internal bleeding in the skull, Exeter Crown Court heard.
The 21-year-old, who has a history of mental illness, admitted causing grievous bodily harm. He will be sent to Langdon Hospital in Dawlish, Devon.
The attack happened in March 2014 and Eleanor Purkis, prosecuting, said: "She [the mother] heard her baby making a terrible noise and when she went back and picked up the baby she found its head was lolling, the arms were in the air and the fingers bent."
The child was taken to Bristol's Royal Hospital for Children where doctors diagnosed internal bleeding in the skull caused by violent shaking.
The court heard the child had recovered but it was too early to be sure there would be no long-term damage.
Mr James Rickard, defending, said Haydari suffered from schizophrenia and his family had spent thousands of pounds seeking treatment.
He said Haydari would not be released until a panel was satisfied he posed no further risk and that a care package was available for him.
Jan Boehmermann made clear before he read the poem that it contained allegations that breached German rules on free speech.
Germany prosecutors launched a preliminary inquiry, as insulting foreign leaders is considered illegal.
Broadcaster ZDF has said it will stand by Boehmermann.
"The programme will carry on as before," it said, insisting that collaboration with Boehmermann would continue.
However, the public TV network removed the video from the internet last week.
The government has said it will consider the Turkish request, adding that Chancellor Angela Merkel saw freedom of speech as non-negotiable.
Jan Boehmermann is Germany's most daring comedian, proving that the country's ordinarily stuffy public broadcasters can be innovative.
But try to find the sketch online now and a message comes up saying that it's not available for copyright reasons. In fact the clip has been deleted by the channel that broadcasts the show.
Some have called the sketch art. Others say it's puerile and vulgar. But whether its author should be prosecuted is quite another question.
There is outrage in Germany that a publicly-funded channel has appeared to bow down to pressure from the Turkish government, which is already accused of suppressing free speech back home.
And Chancellor Angela Merkel's opinion that the poem is "deliberately offensive" has laid her open to accusations that she is not standing up for free speech because Europe needs Turkey to help solve the refugee crisis.
The poem was broadcast in late March on Boehmermann's Neo Magazin Royale show.
It was in response to an earlier Turkish complaint about a satirical song on German TV mocking President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's authoritarian style and crackdown on civil liberties.
The German ambassador was summoned by the government in Ankara after the song, "Erdowie, Erdowo, Erdogan", was broadcast on the public NDR TV channel. The German government and the EU defended the song as an example of free speech.
Boehmermann hit back, delivering the poem during his late-night show as an example of what he was not allowed to do under Germany's criminal code.
The poem featured references to sex with goats and sheep as well as references to repression of Turkey's minorities.
Twenty complaints were made and prosecutors in Mainz announced they were investigating whether it had broken section 103 of the criminal code, which bans insulting representatives or organs belonging to foreign states.
Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, told reporters on Monday that the government in Ankara had sent Germany's foreign ministry a diplomatic note with "a formal request for criminal prosecution".
The note would be examined, he added. "It will take a few days. I can't and don't want to anticipate the results of this examination."
Boehmermann is widely known in Germany for his incisive satire. Last year, he produced a video of Greece's then-finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, raising his middle finger to Germany.
After his poem was pulled from the internet on 1 April, he tweeted: "I think today, 1 April 2016, we've shown impressively together with ZDF where the limits of satire lie here in Germany. Finally!"
The 49-year-old was knocked down by a number 16 Lothian Bus at the junction of Princes Street and Fredrick Street just after 13:30.
The bus was travelling to Leith when it was involved in the accident. The man is being treated at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
Police Scotland said Fredrick Street was closed for just under an hour.
A spokesman for Lothian Buses said: "We can confirm that one of our vehicles was involved in an incident involving a pedestrian on Frederick Street this afternoon.
"Emergency services attended the scene and a male was taken to hospital."
Part of Penarth Road in Grangetown, between North Street and North Clive Street, is currently closed while South Wales Police investigate.
The incident happened at 10:30 BST on Friday.
The injured person has been taken to the city's University Hospital of Wales by ambulance.
Ciarán Maxwell, 31, appeared via video link at the Old Bailey in London.
He was arrested in Somerset last August after the discovery of two dissident republican arms dumps near Larne, County Antrim.
He also pleaded guilty to drugs and fraud charges.
Maxwell admitted assisting another to commit acts of terrorism between 2011 and 2016.
He appeared via videolink from Woodhill Prison near Milton Keynes; he spoke only to confirm his name and enter guilty pleas to all the charges.
The marine was remanded in custody, and is to be sentenced at a later date.
Ciarán Maxwell was brought up in Larne's Seacourt estate - he began the rigorous training to become a Royal Marine in 2010.
His Facebook page featured pictures of exercises in Britain and abroad.
But the charge suggests he was involved in terrorism from 2011, before he'd even finished that training.
The 31-year-old has a partner and child. What influenced him to turn terrorist may never be known but his case could prompt a review of vetting procedures.
It also raises questions over how he was able to take anti-personnel mines from his base in Somerset to Northern Ireland.
It is understood Ciarán Maxwell has cooperated with police since his arrest and this along with his guilty plea will be taken into account when it comes to sentencing.
The defendant had no previous criminal record but he had made the headlines before.
In 2002 republican paper An Phoblacht reported that he had been the subject of an unprovoked attack by a group of loyalists near his home in Larne.
Maxwell, who is originally from Larne, County Antrim, was based with 40 Commando in Somerset.
According to the charge details, he had a stash of explosives in purpose-built hides in England and Northern Ireland.
He compiled a library of terrorism documents, including instructions on how to make explosives and tactics used by terrorist organisations.
He also had maps, plans and lists of potential targets for a terrorist, as well as images of an adapted Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) pass card and a PSNI uniform.
He bought chemicals and components and went on to manufacture explosives and devices, the court heard.
Last March, police said bomb-making parts had been found in barrels hidden in a wooded area in Carnfunnock County Park in County Antrim.
Two months later another "terrorist hide" was found in Capanagh Forest, also near Larne.
Police described it as one of the most significant arms finds in recent years.
Of particular concern to security chiefs was the discovery of military grade anti-personnel mines.
Their serial numbers revealed they had been taken from the Royal Marines base in Somerset where Ciarán Maxwell was based.
Court papers revealed that 12 hides were discovered in total.
Ciarán Maxwell: Full list of charges
Cdr Dean Haydon of the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command said the investigation had resulted in a "significant disruption and protected public safety by removing a large quantity of dangerous material from circulation."
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin said the case highlighted the benefits of "excellent collaborative working" between the PSNI, the Metropolitan Police and other agencies.
"Working together, we have disrupted the activity of a dangerous individual and removed a very significant threat," he added.
In a statement, the Defence Ministry said the report lacked "technical proof" when it used IP addresses to link hacking to a military unit.
The report identified a Shanghai high-rise used by the military as the likely home of a hackers to whom it attributed multiple attacks on US companies.
The US says it has repeatedly raised concerns with China about cyber theft.
The Chinese ministry statement, posted on its website, said that many hacking attacks were carried out using hijacked IP addresses.
By Jonathan MarcusBBC Diplomatic Correspondent
The scale of the Chinese hacking alleged by the computer security firm Mandiant is striking. Until now the bulk of this hacking has been a digital version of old-fashioned industrial espionage - stealing designs and company secrets.
But there is a more sinister side to this activity as well. Chinese hackers are alleged to have a growing interest in gaining access to key parts of the US infrastructure - gas lines, power grids and waterworks. President Barack Obama himself warned during his recent State of the Union address that the nature of the cyber threat was changing.
Gaining access to critical systems is the key. Once inside the digital perimeter - especially if the intrusion is not identified, there is the possibility of causing real physical damage to the infrastructure that the computers control.
There was no clear definition of what constituted a hacking attack, it went on, and as it was a cross-border, deceptive business, it was hard to pin down where attacks originated.
It suggested that the "everyday gathering" of online information was being wrongly characterised as spying.
The detailed report, released on Tuesday by US-based computer security company Mandiant, looked at hundreds of data breaches, most of which it attributed to what it termed "Advanced Persistent Threat" actors.
The details it had uncovered, it said, showed that these groups were based primarily in China and that the Beijing government was aware of them.
The most prolific of these actors was APT1, Mandiant said, describing it as "one of the most prolific cyber espionage groups in terms of the sheer quantity of information stolen".
The firm said it had traced the hacking activities of APT1 to a Shanghai building. Unit 61398 of the People's Liberation Army "is also located in precisely the same area" and the actors had similar "missions, capabilities and resources", it added.
APT1, it said, was staffed by hundreds of proficient English speakers. It had hacked into 141 companies across 20 industries, stealing information including blueprints, business plans, pricing documents, user credentials, emails and contact lists.
Spokesman Jay Carney said the White House was "aware" of the Mandiant report and its contents. While not commenting directly, he described cyber espionage as a "very important challenge".
"We have repeatedly raised our concerns at the highest levels about cyber-theft with senior Chinese officials including in the military and we will continue to do so," he said.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, meanwhile, said that the issue came up "in virtually every meeting we have with Chinese officials".
"We consider this kind of activity a threat not only to our national security but also to our economic interests and [we are] laying out our concerns specifically so that we can see if there's a path forward," she said.
China has long been suspected of a role in cyber hacking. But the issue has become more high-profile in recent months following widely reported hacks into media outlets including the New York Times - in that case apparently linked to a report by the paper on the wealth of relatives of outgoing Premier Wen Jiabao.
The Chinese Defence Ministry statement pointed out that China was also a victim of hacking attacks.
A Global Times editorial accused the US and its major allies of hyping up a China hacking "threat".
"China should refute the allegations of US company Mandiant with authoritative reports from its technology sector," it said.
"As a long-term counter-measure, China needs to encourage those institutions and individuals who have been subject to cyber-attacks from US IP addresses to stand up and tell the world what happened to them."
Ray Trew has agreed to sell the League Two side to businessman Alan Hardy.
Notts are 20th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone having lost 11 of their 21 league matches.
"I am worried about my position because I am not winning games - not because a new owner is coming in," Sheridan, 52, told BBC Nottingham Sport.
The former Chesterfield boss was appointed by Trew at the start of the season but, despite a promising start, they have managed just six league wins and have lost their past six League Two matches.
"I am on the worst run I have ever had as a football manager and expect us to do a lot better," Sheridan added.
"I have had a decent career as a manager and am gutted the way things are at the moment.
"If you are not winning games there will be a problem somewhere. I have to respect that because of the run we are on there is a question mark over me, but I believe in myself and will try to work my socks off and turn it around."
Sheridan also feels bad for not delivering results for the Magpies owner.
"I'm on a bit of a downer because I get on really well with the chairman and his wife Aileen and I am a bit gutted because of the way things are going," Sheridan added.
"I feel I have let them down a little bit with the way we are going, the performances we are showing and the results we are showing. They have put a lot of trust in me.
"It is a shame the way it is at the moment but everyone has to look forward and if it's good for the club then it's the right way to go."
Local businessman Hardy is chief executive of the Paragon group and owner of Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club.
Trew put the club up for sale in February after claiming his family were subjected to "foul and mindless abuse".

K Sri Devi accuses the airline of negligence and breach of contract.
Her lawsuit also names Malaysia's civil aviation authority and air force for losing track of the plane with 239 people on board on 8 March 2014.
Many more similar lawsuits are expected before a two-year filing deadline set by a global aviation agreement.
In the lawsuit, Ms Devi - together with her two sons and parents-in-law - alleges wrongful death of her husband, S Puspanathan, due to negligence and breach of contract by Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government authorities.
"They were waiting for some development in the search for the plane but nothing has been forthcoming so far. Everyone is hoping for some answers through the court," her lawyer, Shailender Bhar, told the Associated Press news agency.
Several other relatives of some of the passengers on board MH370 have either already filed or are preparing to file similar claims in other countries, reports say.
The 1999 Montreal Convention allows each next-of-kin of an air crash victim to claim up to 113,100 special drawing rights (SDR), a mix of currency values established by the International Monetary Fund. The value - which changes regularly - currently equals to about $157,000.
However, a plaintiff filing a lawsuit can seek more.
Flight MH370 disappeared during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There were 227 passengers on board, including 153 Chinese and 38 Malaysians, according to the manifest. Seven were children.
Based on satellite communications data, the plane is thought to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, but only one piece of debris from the aircraft has ever been found, on the French island of Reunion.

Miguel Llera missed his first spot-kick before firing in the winner when City's Wayne Thomas saw his penalty saved.
Paddy Madden's header had put Scunthorpe ahead but Sean Geddes coolly steered in a second-half equaliser.
Carl Heeley's Worcester side, who play in the Conference North - the sixth tier of English football - can still feel proud of their efforts in this seven-match cup run, which included a 2-1 win at 1987 winners Coventry in the last round.
In a game that saw 28 chances for Worcester and 26 for Scunthorpe, the visitors nearly took the lead in the opening minute, but home left-back Tyler Weir somehow managed to block the attempt.
The visitors also went close when Lyle Taylor forced City keeper Nathan Vaughan to save with his legs.
But, roared on by their noisy fans crammed into the home end, the rest of the first half belonged to City. Winger Jordan Murphy caused problems and from one of his mazy runs the home side created their best opening when Mike Symons shot over.
However, the mood at Aggborough was shattered when City failed to keep out Madden's near-post header from Gary McSheffrey's corner in first-half stoppage time.
But it was not long before Geddes - hero of the first-round win with two goals against Coventry - rounded off an excellent team move by slotting home from eight yards.
That was enough to take the tie into extra time, during which Vaughan did well to parry a fiercely struck shot from Madden, before visiting defender Alex Davey placed a header just wide.
Then it was all down to the drama of penalties.
City's second penalty, from Nick Wright, was saved by Sam Slocombe, only for Vaughan to keep the home side in it when he saved Scunny's fifth crucial spot-kick from Llera.
When Danny Jackman then fired over the bar in sudden death, Vaughan again came to the rescue by saving from Matt Sparrow.
But, after a run of 16 successful penalties, visiting keeper Slocombe dived to the left to save from Thomas - and this time Llera kept his cool to earn his side a January meeting with either MK Dons or Chesterfield.
Those two teams have to replay their second-round tie after Chesterfield fielded an ineligible player in the opening tie, which they won 1-0.
Internet searches from the week before the crash were found on the tablet computer used by Andreas Lubitz,
Meanwhile, the second "black box" flight recorder from the plane has been recovered.
There were no survivors among the 150 people on board the A320 on 24 March.
The German prosecutors said internet searches made on the tablet found in Lubitz's Duesseldorf flat included "ways to commit suicide" and "cockpit doors and their security provisions".
Spokesman Ralf Herrenbrueck said: "He concerned himself on one hand with medical treatment methods, on the other hand with types and ways of going about a suicide.
"In addition, on at least one day he concerned himself with search terms about cockpit doors and their security precautions.''
Prosecutors did not disclose the individual search terms in the browser history but said personal correspondence supported the conclusion Lubitz used the device in the period from 16 to 23 March.
Lubitz, 27, had been deemed fit to fly by his employers at Germanwings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa.
The first "black box", the voice recorder, was recovered almost immediately at the crash site.
Based on that evidence, investigators said they believed Lubitz intentionally crashed Flight 9525, which was travelling from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, taking control of the aircraft while the pilot was locked out of the cockpit.
The second "black box" recovered is the flight data recorder (FDR) which should hold technical information on the time of radio transmissions and the plane's acceleration, airspeed, altitude and direction, plus the use of auto-pilot.
At a press conference, Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said there was "reasonable hope" the recorder which was being sent to Paris for examination, would provide useful information.
The "completely blackened" equipment was found near a ravine and was not discovered immediately because it was the same colour as the rocks, he said.
He said: "The second black box is an indispensable addition to understand what happened especially in the final moment of the flight."
He told the media 150 separate DNA profiles had been isolated from the crash site but he stressed that did not mean all the victims had been identified.
As each DNA set is matched to a victim, families will be notified immediately, he said,
He added 40 mobile phones had been recovered. He said they would be analysed in a laboratory but were "heavily damaged".
Also on Thursday, Germanwings said it was unaware that Lubitz had experienced depression while he was training to be a pilot.
Lufthansa confirmed on Tuesday that it knew six years ago that the co-pilot had suffered from an episode of "severe depression'' before he finished his flight training.
``We didn't know this,'' said Vanessa Torres, a spokeswoman for Lufthansa subsidiary Germanwings, which hired Lubitz in September 2013.
She could not explain why Germanwings had not been informed.
The final minutes
Lubitz began the jet's descent at 10:31 (09:31 GMT) on 24 March, shortly after the A320 had made its final contact with air traffic control.
Little more than eight minutes later, it had crashed into a mountain near Seyne-les-Alpes.
What happened in the last 30 minutes of Flight 4U 9525?
Who was Andreas Lubitz?
Samoa led 10-6 at the break through an Anthony Perenise try and Paul Williams' conversion and penalty.
James Hook kicked two first-half penalties for Wales and Rhys Priestland a brace after the break.
Wales wing Williams sealed victory 15 minutes from the end.
It was Wales' first World Cup win over the islanders in three attempts, having lost to them in Cardiff at the 1991 and 1999 tournaments and left Samoa needing to beat Fiji and reigning champions South Africa in their remaining games if they are to progress.
But after an opening 17-16 defeat by South Africa, victory set up Warren Gatland's side for a possible quarter-final against Ireland, who beat Australia 15-6 in Auckland on Saturday.
Both sides showed signs of nerves early on with passes not going to hand and kicks going out on the full.
Wales' edginess manifested itself in the sort of penalty offences they avoided in their opening defeat by South Africa.
For Samoa, poor passing was a blight, particularly when Daniel Leo sent what should have been a scoring effort beyond the reach of Sailosi Tagicakibau into touch.
But the islanders had also seen fly-half Tasea Lavea - a late pre-match replacement for Tusi Pisi - send the kick-off into touch on the full, then conceded a penalty at the first scrum.
However, Hook's penalty shot from halfway fell short and in the fourth minute Leo blew Samoa's first chance.
Wales seemed to have the edge in the scrums, but their lack of control of possession and Samoa's alertness to the opportunities cost Warren Gatland's side several attacking platforms in the opening period.
The men in red's line-out was also shaky as they switched from the safety-first options taken against the Springboks to a bolder approach.
When flanker Dan Lydiate departed to be replaced by Andy Powell after only seven minutes, Wales gained a ball-carrier, but lost a grafting ball-winner.
Flanker Maurie Fa'asavula's high tackle on Priestland allowed Hook to open the scoring after 11 minutes, but Paul Williams levelled after Mike Phillips was penalised for obstruction.
Wales' best attacking moments of the opening period came when Jamie Roberts' midfield power became evident.
Scrum-half Phillips was also a catalyst, combining with prop Adam Jones to set up a Priestland drop-goal attempt that drifted wide.
Samoa's indiscretion at a scrum allowed Hook to put Wales back into the lead and Williams failed with an attempted reply.
Fa'asavalu was penalised for a double movement as he tried to finish off a sustained attack.
But after Wales were again penalised at a ruck for diving on in midfield, Samoa built more momentum.
And despite some outstanding defence, Samoa were not to be denied the opening try. Having completed almost 20 attacking phases Bath-bound prop Anthony Perenise cut back against the defence to go over.
Paul Williams added the conversion to the late first-half score and Samoa deservedly led 10-6 at the break.
Wales suffered a further blow at half-time, losing Hook who was replaced by Leigh Halfpenny at full-back.
Priestland took over the goal-kicking duties two minutes after the break, seeing his first attempt bouncing over via the crossbar.
But without Lydiate to do his work, hooker Huw Bennett was penalised for holding on at the tackle, this time in Samoa's 22.
Wales' breakdown troubles continued to draw Irish referee Alain Rolland's wrath, but another Williams penalty attempt drifted wide.
Rolland was equally diligent at the line-outs where Samoa's delaying tactics earned his attention, but Wales let them off when Adam Jones was penalised at the scrum that followed.
Having stripped AlesanaTuilagi of the ball Wales launched a patient attack in which Roberts was prominent out wide.
The move paid dividends when Fa'asavula and Mahonri Schwalger went over the top at a ruck, allowing Priestland the chance to put his side into the lead with 16 minutes remaining.
Having entered the fray as replacement, Halfpenny seized a chance to break out of defence after gathering a high kick.
He had support from Jonathan Davies and although the centre's final pass was poor, wing Williams was on hand to gather and score to put Wales 17-10 ahead after 68 minutes.
Back came Samoa and when presented with a kickable penalty opportunity in Wales' 22, Samoa opted for the line-out as they sought a try and conversion.
But Toby Faletau stole possession as Samoa piled on the pressure on Wales' line for Priestland to gather.
At the scrum that followed, Samoa were pulled up for driving early and Priestland cleared from the free-kick.
The Wales fly-half also drew the contest to a close, kicking the ball off the park after Samoa's final attack was thwarted.

The Nigeria striker, who came on in the 72nd minute, grabbed the winner with a minute remaining when he fired in from close range.
He now has 10 goals in his last 15 games, and 15 in total this season.
Watford also went close through new signing Nordin Amrabat, whose volley was saved by Dorus de Vries.
Watford showed little bite until Ighalo's second-half arrival, the 26-year-old brought on for regular strike partner Troy Deeney.
With a replay looming, Ighalo capitalised on Forest's failure to clear Allan Nyom's cross when he slotted home from inside the area.
Morocco winger Amrabat, who cost Watford over £6m, had earlier tested De Vries twice, while the keeper also made a good stop from Scotland international Ikechi Anya.
Forest manager Dougie Freedman will have been frustrated to see his side carve out just one effort on target, when Eric Lichaj's tame half-volley was easily held by debutant Costel Pantilimon.
The home side's best chance to score came moments before Ighalo struck, Dexter Blackstock picked out by Chris Cohen in the area but failing to get his shot on target.
Forest manager Dougie Freedman: "Overall I think we have contributed to a fantastic game today. In the first half we stood off a little bit too much - I think we paid them too much respect, although saying that we had the best chance of the game in the 45th minute.
"Second half we got at them and showed we could win this tie. We moved up a gear, had some exciting moments and created enough chances to win the game but half a chance and Watford have got the winner.
"Did they deserve it? No they didn't. But as long as I can see commitment in our performances we'll keep on marching forward."
Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores: "Forest are a good team, but we controlled the match, had more possession and created more chances.
"Amrabat needs to know the system and the team-mates. He also needs to get used to the football in England.
"We were happy with the presence of Pantilimon and Amrabat today."
The schoolgirl's body has never been found after she went missing in 1994.
Eric Anderson said there was no provision for the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) to store the notes.
He added that police rules were that detectives were to keep documents for 10 years after their retirement.
Mr Anderson was giving evidence to the inquest for the first time, and appeared by video from his home.
He told the inquest he destroyed all of the notes "by burning and shredding" and did not keep copies, adding he had been under serious threat and found it difficult to keep the documents in a safe place.
He decided that destroying them "was the desirable thing to do".
Arlene, from Castlederg, disappeared after a night out in County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland.
Convicted child killer Robert Howard, who died in prison last year, was the main suspect in her disappearance.
Mr Anderson told the inquest it had been his decision to arrest Howard six weeks after Arlene disappeared because his inquiry pointed quite strongly to Howard having killed the girl.
Asked why Howard had not been arrested earlier, Mr Anderson said detectives wanted to get more information on Howard in order to successfully question him.
Howard was later released, and Mr Anderson was asked in court if he had concerns about that decision.
"It was the only decision open to us," he said.
"Did I want to charge him? Yes. Could I charge him? No."
It also emerged that after Howard's release, a 24-hour surveillance operation was put in place to track his activities and movements.
But Mr Anderson said Howard did nothing to incriminate himself.
Two years after Arlene disappeared, police searched and dug up parts of her sister's house and garden looking for the body.
Nothing was found.
Mr Anderson said the decision to carry out the search was taken by the then RUC chief constable Sir Hugh Annesley.
Sir Hugh ordered the search based on information from a "pillar of society", Mr Anderson added. | Peterborough United have parted company with assistant manager Lee Glover.

Trevor Bolton, 78, from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, targeted his victims over 20 years at the former Carmel College.
Bolton was convicted of 16 counts of indecent assault, six counts of indecency with a child and three other sexual offences.
The sentence was welcomed by police and one of his victims.
Peter Gluckstein, 56, from London, was one of two men who waived anonymity after Bolton's conviction.
"I'm stunned but glad. I feel even more vindicated," he said after the sentencing.
Adrian Foster, chief crown prosecutor for Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said Bolton lived in a flat above the boys' dormitories.
"He abused his position of trust and took advantage of his status to systematically prey on vulnerable or homesick young boys by inviting them to his flat to watch TV and smoke."
Mr Foster praised the courage of victims in exposing Bolton's behaviour.
"The emotional impact, on the victims and their families, of the abhorrent actions of this man is impossible to quantify," he said.
Det Con Trish Coyne, of Oxfordshire child abuse investigation unit, said: "The length of these sentences reflect the severity of Bolton's crimes.
"While the offences took place some time ago, and despite the fact that Bolton's eight victims are successful individuals, every single one of them has admitted the offences have had an impact on them well into their adult lives."
Carmel College was founded in 1948 and closed in 1997
It was originally based at Greenham Common, Berkshire, but moved to Mongewell Park in 1952
During its life the school was attended by about 4,000 students - a third from overseas

Scientists say that a variety called cheatgrass dries out and burns more rapidly than other vegetation.
They believe it has fuelled almost 80% of the largest fires in the American West over the last 10 years.
Researchers are looking at a range of solutions including using a fungus to attack the grass seed.
Originally transported to the US in soils on board ocean-going ships, the noxious, weedy grass continued its journey west in the 1800s with settlers and cattle ranchers.
The species gets its name because it grows very early and very quickly and then dies, cheating other varieties out of valuable nutrients.
It is widely dispersed throughout the Great Basin of the American West, an area of 600,000 sq km that covers parts of Nevada and Utah, Colorado, Idaho, California and Oregon.
Scientists have long suspected that it played a key role in wildfires but this report is the most definitive evidence yet. Researchers used satellite imagery from Nasa to compare burnt areas with regions where cheatgrass dominates.
According to lead author Dr Jennifer Balch from Pennsylvania State University, the connection between the two was clear.
"We were able to pick out this species from space because it dries out earlier than native species," she told BBC News. "We looked at all the really big fires, all the ones over 100 sq km in size and cheatgrass influenced the majority of those, it's fuelling those really big fires."
Over the period from 2000 to 2009 Dr Balch and her colleagues say that cheatgrass influenced 39 of the 50 largest wildfires.
"Cheatgrass promotes fires that are easily ignited, and spread rapidly." she said. "They cover large areas and across this landscape that translates to more frequent fires."
The research suggests that cheatgrass and fires are in a mutually beneficial relationship.
Michael Kodas is an author and expert on wildfires in the western US. He agrees that cheatgrass is fire-dependent.
"I think the fires are believed to help the cheatgrass outcompete other species and expand its range faster, he told BBC News. "Basically the fires help speed the invasion."
Mr Kodas argues that the invasive species is extending the fire season across the Great Basin.
"Cheatgrass grows and dies earlier in the season," he said. "When native grasses and other plants are greening up and moist, it's already sprouted, spread its seed, and died. So after cheatgrass invades, wildfires can occur earlier in the season, when the native vegetation is still green and unlikely to burn."
Scientists are now working on ways of containing the threat and are investigating a range of control methods says Dr Balch.
"Strategies can be as brute as mechanical removal or as intricate as introducing a fungus that attacks the seed. There are a lot of folks looking at ways to reduce or eliminate cheatgrass."
The researchers say that invasive grass species are increasing fires globally, from molasses grass in Hawaii to gamba grass in Australia.
The research is published in the journal, Global Change Biology.

Adolf Hitler's personal telephone, into which he was said to scream his orders from his bunker in Berlin, inscribed with his name and the Nazi swastika, is undoubtedly a much-prized collector's item.
But then, the story was questioned.
The material was wrong. The rotary dial was suspect. Why would it have been made by a British company?
For Major Ranulf Rayner, the doubts - levelled by a telephone museum in the US, and a telephone expert in Germany - were a shock.
After all, the relic had been in his family since 5 May 1945 - handed to his father, Brigadier Sir Ralph Rayner, by Soviet soldiers after he became the first Allied officer to enter the Fuehrerbunker, and quietly brought back home to Devon, along with an Alsatian dog statue that previously took pride of place on the dictator's desk.
"I'm just extremely angry," Maj Rayner told the BBC, following the publication of the claims in a British newspaper.
Both Maj Rayner, then aged 10, and his sister Fleur can clearly remember their father's return from World War Two with the two extremely unusual items in his bag.
And there was an equally remarkable story to go with how the items came to be in the family's possession.
On 5 May 1945, Sir Ralph - then second-in-command of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery's communications in 21st Army Group - was asked to make contact with his Soviet counterpart.
After making the difficult journey through Berlin, Sir Ralph arrived at what remained of the Reich Chancellery.
Here, he found a Soviet officer who, after agreeing that his general would meet Field Marshal Montgomery as soon as possible, offered to show him the bunker they had discovered three days earlier.
It was here, with the smell of burning flesh still hanging in the air, that he was shown to the private quarters of Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun.
And then the Soviet officer - apparently eager to please his new friend - offered the black telephone which had sat on Braun's bedside table.
However, Sir Ralph was more enthused by the red telephone near Hitler's bed, noting red was his favourite colour as he accepted the "gift", much to the delight of the Soviet officer.
But that was not the only memento with which he left: he was also given a 12-inch model of an Alsatian by the Russians, taken from Hitler's desk after he told them he had an Alsatian at home.
No one outside the immediate family was allowed to know about what Sir Ralph had brought back for many years. While Sir Ralph was in Berlin, Montgomery had decreed that anyone caught looting would be court martialed.
It was only years later that Sir Ralph, Conservative Member of Parliament for Totnes from 1935 until 1955, felt he could show it off to the wider world.
There is mention of it in German magazine Der Spiegel as far back as 1963.
The family has spoken regularly of the telephone over the years. Indeed, the picture chosen for his obituary in the local newspaper in 1977 was one of Sir Ralph and the "Hitler telephone".
However, when news of its auction broke two weeks ago, a number of people came forward to say they did not believe it was the real thing.
Frank Gnegel, of the Frankfurt Museum of Communications, told the Daily Mail the fact the telephone had been painted red, instead of being made from red plastic, was suspect.
He also queried why the handset had been made in Britain, and not by Siemens in Germany.
Separately, The Telephone Museum, based in Lincoln, Massachusetts, raised its own concerns about the authenticity of the phone, as did a Dutch blogger.
But Bill Panagopulos, who owns Alexander Historical Auctions, which sold the phone to an unnamed buyer for $243,000 (£195,744) last week, has dismissed their claims.
"Needless to say, we stand by the telephone's authenticity," he told the BBC, adding that the claims otherwise were "insulting to the reputation and memory of a distinguished British officer and his family".
"The only people who are making any claims about it are this guy in Frankfurt, a guy who runs a blog and a little museum in a shed," Mr Panagopulos said.
"Nobody else in the world has questioned it."
They cannot be certain about some things, but, most of the doubters' claims have been debunked by his or Maj Rayner's investigations.
It has to be noted, both of them had a stake in the sale of the relic. But their arguments appear convincing.
For example, when the phone was taken apart, it was revealed that even inside of had been carefully painted - indicating that it had been carefully crafted.
Maj Rayner's own research - asking Peter von Siemens if he knew anything more about the phone - found Siemens did not produce a red phone at that time, perhaps explaining why it was painted.
He also asked a friend to write to Rochus Misch, who was a telephone operator in the Fuehrerbunker, to see if he recognised the phone in 1985. He did, saying it accompanied the Nazi leader everywhere for the last two years of the war.
However, Mr Panagopulos concedes that, due to the passing of time, no one will ever be able to prove it beyond all shadow of a doubt.
But, he says, the provenance of the phone and the sheer length of time it had been within the family, on top of the other evidence, helped him feel sure it was the real thing.

Defence witness Dr Jonathan Scholtz said Pistorius was suffering from "major depression".
Pistorius was convicted at the end of last year of the 2013 murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
He faces a jail term of 15 years but it may be reduced due to time already spent in prison and mitigating factors.
The hearing is expected to last all week with a sentence by Friday.
Updates from the hearing and other African news stories
Pistorius, a fallen idol
The trial: 10 key moments
Dr Scholtz explained to the court why he felt a jail term would not be "constructive".
"Since the offence he has developed a serious psychiatric condition which has become worse over the past two years," he told the court.
Instead of a custodial sentence, Pistorius should do community service so that he could help others and had a job offer as a project manager in an early childhood development programme run by his uncle's company, Dr Scholz said.
Pistorius was also now traumatised by the sound gunfire, even in a film, and never wanted to go near a firearm again. As a consequence he had sold all his weapons, the doctor said.
But state prosecutor Gerrie Nel questioned Dr Scholz' assertion that Pistorius was not fit to testify in front of the court, saying he had given an hour-long interview to a British broadcaster, ITV.
Pistorius had also had temper tantrums in jail and had once banged a table when he got upset with a nurse, Mr Nel said, asking Dr Scholtz why he had ignored Pistorius' actions.
Dr Jonathan Scholtz spent the day detailing Pistorius' mental state.
He was called by the defence to help them get a lesser sentence for the disgraced athlete.
But state prosecutor Gerrie Nel, poking holes in the doctor's claims that Pistorius is depressed, argued that he had shown no remorse throughout the trial and that should be borne in mind.
Mr Nel told the court that Pistorius only regretted the effect killing Ms Steenkamp had had on his own life.
Pistorius, in a dark pinstripe suit, cast a lonely figure listening to the proceedings.
Whatever the outcome, he will be sentenced as a murderer, the worst crime under South African law.
Pistorius, 29, killed Ms Steenkamp in February 2013 after firing four times through a locked toilet door.
The athlete has always maintained he believed he was shooting at an intruder.
He was initially jailed for manslaughter in 2014 and was released into house arrest after a year, but his conviction was changed to murder after the prosecution appealed.
When changing the conviction to murder from manslaughter South Africa's Supreme Court of Appeal ruled that the lower court had not correctly applied the rule of dolus eventualis - whether Pistorius knew that a death would be a likely result of his actions.
The panel of judges said that it was irrelevant who he had thought was behind the door.
Original trial judge Thokozile Masipa will hear arguments from both prosecution and defence this week.
Reeva Steenkamp's father, Barry, who has been absent throughout the case due to poor health, is in court and may testify later this week.
Experts say a custodial sentence seems almost unavoidable but factors such as his mental fragility, disability and good behaviour may lead to a reduced jail term.
He was released from prison last October after almost a year in jail and allowed to serve out the remainder of his initial sentence under house arrest on his uncle's property in Pretoria.

The 22-year-old has signed a five-year deal at the Stadium of Light after 18 months at the French club.
The fee is the highest Sunderland have paid up front for a player.
"I am excited to meet everyone at the club, to see the stadium and of course the fans, who I have heard so many good things about. Today is the most beautiful day of my life," he said.
"Maybe the Sunderland fans don't know me yet, but I promise they will quickly discover that I will give everything for them and the club."
The upfront fee surpasses the £13m Sunderland paid for Asamoah Gyan in 2010, but the deal that brought Steven Fletcher to the club in 2012 included add-ons potentially taking the cost to £14m.
Sunderland later confirmed that a move for Boavista goalkeeper Mika was unable to be completed before the transfer deadline.

A former Derby, Burnley and Wales winger, James won 54 caps and scored 10 goals for his country between 1971 and 1983.
The highlight of his international career is also the oh-so-nearly moment of Welsh football.
For many football fans, from Cardiff to Colwyn Bay and Porthmadog to Prestatyn, the crop of the mid-70s is the Wales team that time forgot: the quarter-finalists of Euro '76.
The Dragons - captained by Leeds legend Terry Yorath and led from the front by Liverpool's John Toshack - came within a whisker of reaching the last four of a major international competition.
The finals of the 1976 European Championship took place in mid-June, in an affair conducted behind the Iron Curtain. The competition format saw just the remaining four countries gather for the final stages.
West met east with communist Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia facing the free market might of West Germany and the Netherlands.
Wales, under the stewardship of Mike Smith, reached the last eight by topping a group containing the fancied Hungary as well as Austria and Luxembourg.
Other Home Nations, by contrast, fell at the first hurdle of the group stages, and it was up to Wales to fly the British flag in the quarter-finals.
Two matches against hosts Yugoslavia - who in 1976 were required to qualify for the tournament they were hosting - would decide Wales's fate.
"We were quietly confident," James told BBC Sport. "Provided that we didn't blow up out in Yugoslavia, we would have a chance in Cardiff."
Yet it all went wrong on a tough night in Zagreb.
"We lost 2-0, going a goal down after less than a minute," recalls James. "That was a disastrous start for us. We lost but we were still confident of clawing it back.
"In the second leg we had an East German referee and he refused to start the game unless the East German flag was flown over the stadium. He gave them an awful penalty and they scored, putting us 3-0 down. We then proceeded to hammer them, got a goal back, and really should have beaten them. We played very well on the day, but it wasn't to be."
Yet, despite the team's failure to qualify for the finals, a Welshman still had a part to play.
One of the darkest moments in Dutch footballing history took place on 16 June 1976 when the masters of total football took on unfancied Czechoslovakia, the eventual tournament winners.
After 120 gruelling minutes played in a quagmire under pouring rain, and with two Netherlands players and one Czech sent off, the underdogs emerged 3-1 winners.
The referee in that controversial, unforgettable European semi-final? Welsh official Clive Thomas.
None of the Home Nations were able to join Welsh referee Clive Thomas at the finals in Yugoslavia. Wales fell at the knock-out quarter-final stage, while England dropped out at the group stage, finishing second in Group One behind eventual winners Czechoslovakia. Scotland finished second bottom in Group Four, while Northern Ireland managed second in Group Three, behind the tournament hosts.
"It was the most difficult [second] half of a match that I ever refereed in my career," Thomas confessed to BBC Sport 36 years later.
"It rained the whole day before, it rained the day of the game. Holland had no chance of playing their ideal game of total football.
"I had the impression as the second half wore on that the Dutch thought they were bigger than the game, and that they were bigger than you. They could do what they liked. That wasn't my game of football.
"Johan Cruyff was one of the worst, but then he always had been. You had to nail him right at the very beginning, because if he knew that he had control of you then you had had it. I saw too many matches where Cruyff had control of referees.
"You don't expect players of that calibre to act like they did."
Thomas even admits that, as he received abuse from certain Dutch players having dismissed Willem van Hanegem for repeated dissent, he considered abandoning the game.
Is Thomas disappointed that the Welsh footballers of his generation never got to experience the 1976 finals in Yugoslavia, as he did?
"It was a shame Wales didn't get there. But I got to the semi-finals because they didn't," he explained.
"Talk about Ryan Giggs, Ian Rush, Mark Hughes, all of them. Not one of them have had what I had. I've been to the World Cup and to the European Cup. None of them have gone to a finals."
How does ex-Wales international James recall 1976, that year of the oh-so-nearly?
"I feel pride, plus a little bit of sadness that we didn't get to Yugoslavia," he reflected.
"When we all meet up we still mention it and we get a little peeved or annoyed that people tell us we've qualified for nothing since 1958.
"We went out in the quarter-finals, and that's still something the footballing public of Wales doesn't pay much attention to."

Are you a poet or a rapper first?
Chronologically I was a rapper first, but at this point in time I'm primarily a poet.
When did you discover the power of words?
I was always into music and my mum used to talk me through a lot of lyrics. I remember her sitting me down and talking to me about the Bob Marley song Buffalo Soldier. "Dreadlock Rasta/Taken from Africa/Brought to America/Fighting on arrival/Fighting for survival." It made a big impression.
At the same time, I grew up in church and again my mum used to read the Bible with me. And then I saw the pastor commanding an audience, and thought, I want to do that. I remember watching the film of Malcolm X and seeing what he did with words and thinking, I really want to do that.
When did you move from rap to poetry?
I believe rap to be a specialist form of poetry - specialist only in that it is very strict on time metre, which you can find in traditional forms of poetry. In William Blake's poem London, you find a lot of very regimented thought.
I would argue that I did start off writing in a traditional poetry form but the extension of that was I was performing them. But if you took the music away, the essence was exactly the same as what William Blake was offering.
You say you draw on your early life in the inner city. How does that inform what you do?
It made a profound impact on me. I was exposed to quite a range of life. I saw people lose loved ones, I saw people make a lot of money, make a lot of change.
When I was in year six - I must have been 10, 11 - I took a shine to these kids who were in my primary school. They were lovely kids. Sunshine every time they opened their mouths. I remember them flippantly mentioning that the night before, their dad was beating up their mum and their big sister had to fight him off with a baseball bat. They didn't understand the gravity of what they were saying. But this disturbed me.
I remember trying to fight everything, trying to save everyone from every calamity. At some point I realised that I'm not going to be able to save everyone, but that when I do have the platform I will do everything to enact structural change...
A lot of my frustrations stem from the fact that I can't share my blessings with my family and friends, my community. There are structural things that keep them in place, whether that's the disintegration of their family or their inability to organise themselves financially and sustain their communities financially, or the lack of political influence on the things that affect them.
All of these things make it harder for me to move forward professionally with everyone I grew up with. That needs to change.
How can you make a difference?
I need to be an example of what I think needs to happen. So for example I'm self-employed. I have an enterprising mind. I demonstrate these things and I think it will be beneficial if everyone has a degree of enterprise.
I need to be an example, but at the same time there's the content. My EP, The Chicken and the Egg, is about premature parenthood. Discussing that helps. For one thing, you're giving visibility to the issue. Secondly, you're providing some sort of catharsis for anyone who can relate.
Do you write about yourself or do you create fictional characters?
I draw partially from personal experience and I also draw from observation.
Did the premature parenthood thing happen to you?
No. It didn't happen to me. It happened all around me.
Why try to bring about structural change through entertainment and not politics?
Because the political space is too regulated. And it's already exclusive. Entertainment isn't as exclusive. If I'm known for making sounds that people want to hear, it's much harder to justify stymieing that process.
Is it possible to enact structural change through music and poetry?
Yeah. Apart from the fact that anything's possible, it's very obvious. I speak. You listen. You come to my gig. All we need to do is make decisions. That's it. Job done.
Where do you see yourself in five years time?
I see the manifestation of everything I'm talking about now.
I see myself providing the structures for people to enact and demonstrate of all the things I'm talking about - autonomy, taking control, owning the entertainment space.
If what I'm saying sounds too lofty for you, demonstration's the highest form of argument. First I'm going to show you how to do it, then I'm going to invite you to do it.
Trott led the Bears home with an unbeaten 82 in their eight-wicket One-Day Cup final walloping of Surrey.
"It was Jonathan Trott at his best," Bell told BBC Sport.
"If there's one bloke in world cricket who I'd want to knock off a small total like that, or a total where you can pace yourself, it is Trotty."
Trott has a fine record at Lord's, both for Warwickshire and England.
He averages 66.17 there in first-class cricket, having hit four centuries at the north London ground.
Two of them were for his adopted country, with the other two for Warwickshire - the most recent coming against County Championship leaders Middlesex earlier this season. He has also made a century and three fifties there in List A cricket.
The 35-year-old had already made three centuries in six One-Day Cup innings this season and his 82 in the final took him to an aggregate of 515 runs, at an average of 85.50. That total is bettered only by Bears team-mate Sam Hain's 540 runs in three more innings.
But, until Saturday, South Africa-born batsman Trott had not even got past 20 in three previous Lord's finals for the Bears, having made 3, 17 and 2.
"It was a surreal moment," Trott told BBC Sport.
"Getting to the end of your career, you want to put in performances and have memories. This was my fourth final and it's the first time I've got above 20, so it will always be nice to be able to say that I did that.
"Once you step out of international cricket, these are the closest you get. It feels nice to be able to come to these games and contribute.
"As a youngster, you always want to come here and play at the home of cricket. I didn't do too well early on in my career, but the older I've got it's been good to me.
"As a former international who has been playing a few years you want to set the bar high for yourself and the younger players around you - but so many of our guys stood up and performed superbly.
"We showed our quality. We're an experienced team so we need to be competing in these finals and winning them."
A total of 100 billionaires are now living in the Chinese capital, compared with 95 in New York, the report says.
Shanghai, China's centre of commerce, comes in fifth place.
Hurun, which tracks wealth in China, has released an annual Global Rich List for the past five years measuring billionaires' wealth in US dollars.
The private research firm, which also publishes luxury magazines, uses a mixture of information from publicly traded companies plus interviews to compile its data.
Other companies such as Forbes and Bloomberg use different methodology and arrive at different conclusions.
Hurun found that Beijing had welcomed 32 new billionaires since last year, allowing it to vault past New York which it calculated only saw four new billionaires.
Moscow was in third place with 66 billionaires, according to Hurun.
Overall, China has overtaken the US as the country with the highest number of billionaires. However, the top 10 billionaires in Hurun's list is still dominated by Americans.
China has 568 billionaires after gaining 90 new ones, compared with the US which has 535.
China's billionaires boast a combined net worth of $1.4 trillion (£1.01 trillion), which is similar to the GDP of Australia.
Hurun's chairman Rupert Hoogewerf noted that the growth in China's wealthy took place despite an economic slowdown and stock market instability.
He told the AP news agency that it could be due to Chinese market regulators allowing a flood of new share issues after holding back Initial Public Offerings for several years.
Hurun found that the richest man in China is still Wang Jianlin, with an estimated worth of $26bn (£18.8bn).
But he has not cracked the top 10 billionaires in Hurun's list, which is dominated by Americans. It is topped by Bill Gates with a net worth of $80bn, followed by investor Warren Buffett with $68bn.
In third place is Spanish fashion tycoon Amancio Ortega with a net worth of $64bn. The report found that overall there are now 2,188 billionaires in the world, a new record.
The party said the move would save money for businesses and consumers and reduce the number of sites across Scotland.
The end of onshore wind subsidies was part of the Tory election manifesto.
The Scotttish government said it was "important we continue to support this vital industry".
It previously set a target of around 16GW to be generated by wind farms by 2020.
The Conservatives said figures showed the target had been "effectively surpassed" with 7.1GWs currently produced, while around 9GWs-worth schemes have been given the green light and other projects said to generate 4GWs are already in the planning system.
Scottish Conservative energy spokesman Murdo Fraser said: "Now that the SNP has effectively surpassed this ridiculous target it set itself, it's time to rein in yet more onshore wind developments.
"Rural Scotland has had enough, and so have businesses and consumers.
"The Scottish government has rolled out the red carpet for wind farms for too long.
"We can see the visual damage that has caused, and it makes no financial sense for so much money to be ploughed into a form of energy that is unreliable and intermittent."
He added: "The Conservatives in Westminster have pledged to end subsidies for wind farms, and it's time for the Scottish government to back this approach.
"Communities who've had their landscapes blighted by turbines will no doubt agree."
The Scottish government said it "remained ambitious" for the renewable energy industry and the "vital contribution" it makes towards tackling climate change.
Energy Minister Ferguson Ewing said: "We want the two governments to work together, along with the industry, to decide between us the best way to proceed in relation to the future of onshore wind support, bearing in mind the promise made by the UK government to consult with the Scottish government ahead of any decisions being made.
"Onshore wind is the cheapest way of producing renewable electricity in the UK and it is important we continue to support this vital industry.
"We need to listen to the concerns of businesses and organisations who are integral to the future energy security of both Scotland and the UK, as well as to environmental organisations who recognise the importance of renewable energy in helping reduce emissions."
Alistair Gallow targeted Coral bookmakers in Jarrow, South Tyneside, on 8 January, sparking a stand-off with police lasting several hours.
Appearing at Newcastle Crown Court via videolink from HMP Durham, he admitted four counts of false imprisonment and possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence.
The 39 year old, of Percy Street, Jarrow, will be sentenced on 4 April.
He also admitted three charges of possession of a bladed article in relation to three knives, and one of possession of an offensive weapon, namely a knuckle duster.
Police were called to the bookmakers in Grange Road at 17:46 GMT.
All the hostages - two members of staff and two customers - were released by 20:45.

People could see a wall of ice on the banks of the river.
The entire waterfall could soon be completely frozen.
"I could raise the price and people would keep buying."
He had that model made in China and imported five whole containers, selling 600,000 in just three months.
That was 15 years ago and Mr Rivera has been in the business since 1992. But he still loves rhinestones, glitter and pearls.
He is not alone: everywhere in his country Colombia, on the streets, in stores, one can see blue, black, white ladies' jeans, with complex embroidery and appliques and bright stones, especially on the back pockets.
The largest jeans wholesale spot in Colombia is the Gran San shopping centre in Bogota.
It has more than 700 stalls that mainly sell jeans manufactured by hundreds of factories in the Colombian capital and other cities around the country.
And the jeans that can be found there are full of glitter, as designers compete for the attention of the customers.
But a more decisive innovation than the decorations came some 20 years ago - butt-lifters.
"It is exclusively Colombian," says a proud Mr Rivera.
The name says it all - the design has a few tricks to shape the buttocks of the wearer.
There are at least three secrets that make the butt-lifters work, and they can be seen extensively in the Gran San shopping centre:
"It has been perfected over time so now the competition is to see who can lift more," says Mr Rivera.
After the butt-lifter innovation came the rhinestones, the pearls, the decorations, to make the jeans even more jazzy.
"The butt-lifter and the design go hand in hand," says Nayibe Gaitan, who has been working for 11 years in this industry.
She is now a saleswoman for a brand in Gran San shopping centre, but before that she worked in the administrative department of the factory, so she knows this world well.
According to her, women from every age and social class buy the decorated butt-lifters.
The company she works for manufacture some 350 units of every model (50 models per collection) and they never repeat them - when they are gone, they are gone. Almost no brand in this place repeats a model.
In Gran San wholesale jeans are between 40,000 and 60,000 Colombian pesos apiece $14-20, £11-15).
The decorated butt-lifter has become the archetypical Colombian jean, a product that has reached markets outside the country.
"Any Latin woman wants her butt-lifter trousers," says Mr Rivera. "A client of mine in the US sells to Latinas all over the world."
Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, where Latin American communities are concentrated, are key markets for Colombian jeans.
Figures from Colombia show the US accounted for 50% of the $111m (£83.4m) of worldwide Colombian jeans exports in 2015. Mexico and Ecuador follow as destinations for the Colombian denim trousers.
Jeans make up about 10% of all the clothing Colombia sells abroad.
Local manufacturing and exports have strengthened since 2014, when the dollar started gaining strength against the Colombian peso, giving the country a competitive edge.
That was the year Mr Rivera - who had stopped manufacturing in Colombia- started producing here again.
He now has 120 employees working directly in his factory in Bogota, called Key Store. But adding the indirect jobs needed to produce the clothes, he gives work to over 400 people.
Ms Gaitan explains that some 70 people need to work over a period of a month to manufacture a Colombian decorated butt-lifter jean.
The brand she works for exports to Chile, Guatemala, Mexico and the US. Mr Rivera also exports to the US - of course - and to Chile, Peru and Central America.
Currently Colombia is the third jeans exporter in Latin America, behind Mexico and Nicaragua.
Now Colombian jeans are becoming a bit less decorated, says Mr Rivera.
"Today there is not as much glitter, not like a year-and-a-half ago".
His factory would produce 12-15 models with rhinestones in a collection of 60 models. But many still have other decoration, like embroidery.
But subtlety is not so easy to find in Gran San.
Carolina Castillo sells various brands of jeans made in Medellin (Colombia's second city and another big jeans production spot).
She says the more basic one she offers is one with six pink stones in each back pocket.
It seems like the decorated butt-lifter still rules in Colombia.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union voted 96% in favour of beginning industrial action.
The union said drivers on the new weekend service, which launched in August, were being blocked from applying for full-time jobs.
A London Underground spokesman said the service had been running in line with agreements reached with the unions and urged the RMT to continue talks.
Unions say Night Tube drivers have been prevented from moving into vacant full-time positions for at least 18 months and do not qualify for overtime pay because they only work 16 hours a week.
RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: "It is outrageous that London Underground have decided to discriminate against their Night Tube drivers.
"This is a senseless and damaging policy that picks out one group of staff for negative treatment and of course the drivers are angry and that is why our members have voted overwhelmingly for action."
The drivers' union Aslef is also balloting its members for strikes, with the result due on Thursday.
"Night Tube services have been running since August last year in line with agreements reached with the unions. We've met with the RMT to discuss and resolve the new issues that they have.
"We have invited the RMT to more talks later this week and I encourage them to continue discussions with us rather than threaten industrial action."
Separately, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) on the Tube are also threatening strike action because of shift pattern changes that could leave them stranded.
British Transport Police (BTP) wants a third of all shifts to end at 01:00 in response to "changing policing needs".
The TSSA union said a late finish meant many PCSOs would have no safe route home on public transport after work.
BTP said it was in talks with the TSSA.
Speaking to the BBC, the co-chair of an inquiry into BHS compared Sir Philip unfavourably to late media magnate Robert Maxwell, who took millions from the Mirror Group's pension funds.
"This statement is highly defamatory and completely false," said law firm Schillings, representing Sir Philip.
Mr Field said he would not apologise.
He told BBC business editor Simon Jack that Sir Philip's conduct was "displacement therapy".
"Instead of writing a big cheque he is firing off lawyers' letters. He needs to stop messing around and write a big cheque".
His earlier remarks were made on Radio 4's Today programme.
The development came after a damning MPs' report, published on Monday, concluded Sir Philip, the billionaire former owner of BHS, extracted large sums and left the business on "life support".
The report, from the Business, Innovation and Skills and Work and Pensions committees and co-chaired by Mr Field, did not suggest that Sir Phillip had done anything illegal.
But it said his failure to resolve BHS's £571m pension deficit was a major factor in the firm's demise.
The pension scheme is now in the Pension Protection Fund, meaning that its 20,000 members will receive less money than they had expected
Sir Philip, responding late on Monday to the report, called it "the predetermined and inaccurate output of a biased and unfair process".
BHS is in the process of closing down after what the MPs' report called the "shambolic" ownership of Dominic Chappell, who bought the retail chain from Sir Philip for £1 last year.
BHS was "hurriedly sold to a manifestly unsuitable" buyer in that deal, even though Sir Philip knew Mr Chappell was a former bankrupt with no retail experience, the MPs found.
The sale went unchallenged because Sir Philip ran his retail empire as "a personal fiefdom", they said.
"With the benefit of hindsight, clearly Retail Acquisitions and Mr Chappell were a very bad choice as purchaser on many fronts and I feel badly let down," said Sir Philip.
But he said the sale of BHS was "made one hundred per cent in good faith".
"As I told the committees, I am trying to find a solution for the BHS pension and am continuing to work with the Regulator to achieve an outcome.
"I am sad and sorry for all the BHS people caught up in this horrid story, but I do not believe that this story is being in any way fairly portrayed."
Mr Field and Sir Philip have had a long-running feud, with the Monaco-based businessman accusing the Labour chair of the Work and Pensions Committee of bias and conducting a "trial by media".
Sir Philip originally refused to appear before MPs last month unless Mr Field resigned as chairman.
He eventually relented saying it "would be the first and only opportunity I have had to tell my side of the very sad BHS story."

URGENT
Dear Sir
SIR PHILIP GREEN
We act for Sir Philip Green and write with reference to your interview on Radio 4's Today programme this morning.
In that interview you alleged that our client had stolen money, specifically from the BHS and Arcadia pension funds. This statement is highly defamatory and completely false.
Our client has never stolen any money from BHS, Arcadia or the pension funds and you know that. In particular, there is nothing in the recent Report of the Work and Pensions and Business, Innovation and Skills Committees, (the Report) (of which you were one of the Chairs) to support your allegation.
Clearly an allegation that our client is a thief is likely to cause him serious harm.
Further, in relation to the recent Parliamentary hearings and the Report and allegations made there you were protected by privilege. That does not apply to the interview this morning (or any others you intend to make).
In the circumstances, our client requires an immediate and fulsome apology in relation to the allegation (to be agreed in terms of the content and manner by this firm in advance of publication).
We look forward to hearing from you on this point within 24 hours. This matter is clearly urgent as your defamatory statements are being repeated in the media, for which you are undoubtedly liable.
The other remedies to which our client is clearly entitled will very much depend on form and manner of your response and in the meantime, all of our client's rights are reserved.
Please acknowledge receipt.
Yours faithfully
SCHILLINGS
Pattinson (3-30) reduced Kent to 6-3 to take his tally to 31 in five matches, before Daniel Bell-Drummond (84 not out) and Sam Billings (30) dug in.
Bell-Drummond hit 10 fours as he carried his bat, while Steven Mullaney (3-2) finished off the Kent innings.
Notts slipped to 52-3 in reply, but closed 45 runs behind on 135-3.
Darren Stevens and Adam Milne saw off Jake Libby (16) and Brendan Taylor respectively, before a superb ball from Matt Coles dismissed Samit Patel - who had made double hundreds in his last two Championship innings - for four.
Mullaney, who appeared to be unwell for much of his innings, ended the day unbeaten on 63, while Alex Hales was 28 not out as the pair shared an unbroken fourth-wicket partnership of 83.
Nottinghamshire bowler Luke Fletcher:
"Personally, it is nice to get some big players out, but as a bowing unit we all stuck together today and everyone chipped in with a few wickets.
"I didn't mind the pink ball, it was very different to the red ball as it didn't shine up as much as the red Dukes. It swung throughout the innings, so no real complaints from me at all.
"The way we've prepared for this game, I think things have gone as we expected. We'd have taken that as a day after losing the toss. We were pretty positive and pretty aggressive throughout, which is what we wanted to do."
Three of City's goals came in the first 18 minutes, with Fernando opening the scoring from a Jesus Navas corner.
De Bruyne made it 2-0 when he volleyed home David Silva's flick and Sergio Aguero headed a third soon after.
Bournemouth had no response and Aleksandar Kolarov blasted in City's fourth with the last kick of the game.
City's win means they are now 12 points behind Premier League leaders Leicester with seven games remaining but their recent form means it is more relevant they increased their lead on fifth-placed West Ham to three points, after the Hammers were held by Crystal Palace.
The Cherries, meanwhile, remain two points off the 40-point mark, but their 11-point cushion above the bottom three still looks a healthy one.
Relive City's early flurry of goals

A run of one win in their previous six league games had all but ended City's title hopes, and put their prospects of finishing in the Champions League spots in doubt as well.
Their away problems have been more longstanding - after winning their first three away league matches of the season, they took only 11 points from their next 11 games on the road, managing just seven goals.
There were no signs of those struggles at the Vitality Stadium, however, and they ripped Bournemouth apart with a devastating attacking display early on.
City head to French champions Paris St-Germain next, in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, on the back of a performance that will give them reasons to be optimistic that more goals will follow.
City boss Manuel Pellegrini felt his side's high-tempo pressing game was behind the fast start that led to their comfortable victory.
Pellegrini told BBC Sport: "Our style of play was the way I like us to play. The most important thing was to return to our style of play.
"We played very well, especially the first half where we pressed very high, and scored three beautiful goals."
The move that led to De Bruyne's goal started when Bournemouth's Charlie Daniels lost the ball on the edge of his own area.
"Part of the mistake was down to the pressure we put on to recover the ball," Pellegrini explained.
"That was very important because we were a team that was pressing three four or five times just on that occasion. Then when we won it back we finished with the quality we have."
At the end of a week where they discovered they could be without Yaya Toure and Joe Hart as well as skipper Vincent Kompany for their trip to Paris, a returning star gave City some reason to be cheerful.
De Bruyne has been sorely missed since he injured his knee at the end of January, with City winning only four out of 12 games without him.
The £55m Belgian marked his return with a superbly taken goal, a volley relying on placement rather than power from the edge of the box, and came close to an equally spectacular second when another volley was palmed away by Artur Boruc.
He came off after 57 minutes to a deserved standing ovation and, when he is fully fit, City's chances against any opposition are clearly improved.
Samir Nasri's appearance off the bench in the second half, for his first game since October, was another bonus for Pellegrini. The French midfielder has recovered from his serious thigh injury, but he is not in City's Champions League squad.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said afterwards that he felt his side "caught City on a good day" but also rued some self-destructive defending.
Howe told BBC Sport: "The first goal was probably the most disappointing one because it was from a set-play, a poor ball in really, and we have not dealt with it.

"When you give a good team an early goal it gives them a lift and it makes it very difficult.
"It was a long game from 3-0 down so credit to the players that they did not cave in but it was a difficult watch, especially early on."
Bournemouth took 30 minutes to register their first effort on target - a Steve Cook header that forced a good stop from Willy Caballero - and did not manage another until Matt Ritchie let fly from distance in the 92nd minute.
City head for Paris, then play host to West Brom next Saturday.
On the same day, Bournemouth will be in action at Villa Park, where a Cherries win and a combination of other results could relegate Aston Villa.
Mike Nicholson said universities and schools were worried about the limited evidence available on reforming exams.
He said plans to make AS-levels a stand-alone qualification would hinder attempts to increase the numbers of disadvantaged students doing degrees.
Ministers said single exams would end the "test treadmill" in sixth-forms.
Speaking at a Westminster Education Forum in central London, Mr Nicholson, who is director of undergraduate admissions and outreach at Oxford University, said changing A-levels was "another great example of a government's tendency to meddle in things they should probably just leave alone".
He said: "There is widespread concern, not restricted to the secondary-school sector, but also to higher education, about the limited evidence that there is need for any change and widespread concern that the impact of bringing in both GCSE and A-level changes at the same time is going to just wreck the English education system.
"Part of the problem is a total misunderstanding and confusion over activities and information that is in the public domain," he said.
Under the government's plans, teenagers will no longer take "modular" A-levels with exams throughout but "linear" A-levels with exams at the end of the two-year course.
AS-levels will be separated from A-levels to form a qualification in their own right.
Mr Nicholson said that there was an assumption that linearity was good, partly because some universities still operated a system of exams at the end of a three-year degree course. But he added that universities had "managed to cope with modularity".
He said students also applied for degree courses with different types of qualifications, including the International Baccalaureate, the Cambridge Pre-U and A-levels.
Mr Nicholson also raised concerns about the planned changes to the AS-level.
"The loss of AS-levels will have tragic consequences for widening participation and access to higher education.
"AS-levels are excellent because they give students a very clear indication of what they are capable of achieving.
"The real danger is students will plough on believing that they may not be capable of applying to a highly selective course, but equally believing that they are capable of applying to a highly selective and competitive course.
"Losing AS-levels will have a really significant result on the likelihood of students from a disadvantaged background progressing to higher education."
Source: Russell Group
Mr Nicholson also said there were misconceptions around the A-level subjects that Russell Group universities - which are considered among the best in the UK - required from prospective students.
In 2009 - following calls for universities to be clearer about their admissions procedures - the Russell Group published a list of subjects that tended to be required more often than others.
Mr Nicholson told Tuesday's forum:"We tried to respond and give advice. That however has been totally misinterpreted. It states very clearly in the document what the intention is.
"People choose to ignore that and say what it's basically saying is here are the 12 subjects that will guarantee you a place at a Russell Group university.
"That's total nonsense. If you believe that's the case then I'm sorry but you are deluded."
He also said that no university required students to have the government's English Baccalaureate at GCSE. This covers English, maths, sciences, a language and history or geography.
"If anything, with GCSEs, we much prefer students to have high grades across a range of subjects," Mr Nicholson said.
A spokeswoman for the Department for Education said: "We are putting universities, not politicians, in charge of A-levels to ensure they prepare children for work and higher education.
"According to [the exams watchdog] Ofqual, the clear majority of universities favour A-level predictions over AS-levels as an indicator of ability.
"Returning A-levels to single exams will end the test treadmill in sixth-forms - something which many teachers complain about."
Mark Powell, 44, from Penryn in Cornwall, admitted 14 offences of fishing in an illegal area and 14 of failing to submit landing declarations.
Over five months, he made £428,289 from the fishing using his vessel The Golden Fleece II, Swansea Crown Court heard.
Three other members of his family - parents Andrea and Clinton, and wife Lisa Powell, were fined £1,000 each.
Scallop dredging in parts of Cardigan Bay was banned in 2010. The shellfish can retail between £15 and more than £30 a kilo, depending on the season.
Powell carried out the illegal fishing between October 2011 and March 2012.
Prosecutor James Subbiani said Powell's boat, a state-of-the-art scallop dredger, was boarded by marine enforcement officers carrying out a routine patrol at 03:50 GMT on 20 March, 2012, following a radio contact in which the fishermen accepted he was fishing for scallops.
The officers then contacted Welsh government fisheries officers and the decision was made to take the vessel, with its skipper Powell, into Milford Haven.
Mr Subbiani said that a system which identified where the vessel was at sea had been switched off on the Golden Fleece II at the point when it arrived in Welsh waters.
He also said in January 2012 the Sea Fish Industry Authority wrote to scallop dredgers in Cardigan Bay asking them to help to identify reports of dredging in banned areas there.
Powell was then asked to switch on the identifying system to show the Welsh government that he was not doing anything wrong, to which he replied: "You know I can't do that, I'm not doing anything the other boats aren't doing."
Sentencing, Judge Huw Davies QC told Powell: "I have to sentence you for using a well-equipped boat to fish for scallops, to fish within an area of Cardigan Bay for which it was not permitted under the order of 2010.
"You're an experienced captain, you know those waters well, and there's evidence you knew the regulations well. The fact that other people offended by breaching this regulation doesn't excuse your decision to do so.
"I accept, however, that your offending record is very limited, confined to a single offence, and it was not the most serious offence of its kind, reflected by the fine of £1,500 (for each offence)."
Powell was ordered to pay £3,000 for each pair of the 14 offences totalling £42,000 and £8,000 towards prosecution costs. The fine must be paid within a year.
After the hearing, a Welsh government spokesperson said: "Sentencing is a matter for the court and we hope this sentence will act as a deterrent to others who are considering illegal fishing in Welsh waters."

England, who finished second in Group 1 after winning three of their four matches, face the unbeaten Kiwis in Delhi on Wednesday.
England's women face Australia earlier the same day for a place in the final.
"New Zealand have played out of their skin in the group stages," England captain Morgan told BBC Sport.
"They have probably played the best cricket of the tournament so far."
Kane Williamson's side qualified from Group 2 in top spot, courtesy of wins over hosts India, Australia, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
England lost their first game, against West Indies, but recovered superbly to win their next three against South Africa, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
"There is a a lot of excitement around the group," added Morgan. "Having done enough to get out of the group stages and play in a World Twenty20 semi-final, the guys are really excited.
"We have built a lot of confidence. We also showed a lot of character at different stages.
"We showed our development as a side in chasing down 230, our grit against Afghanistan and we played a lot of smart cricket against Sri Lanka."
England's limited-overs performance in India is a marked improvement on the one they produced in last year's 50-over World Cup, from which they eliminated in the group stages having won just two of their six games.
New Zealand finished runners-up to Australia in that tournament, having played an aggressive, attacking form of cricket.
It is an approach England have attempted to emulate since Trevor Bayliss replaced Peter Moores as coach, with some success, including a 3-2 ODI series win over the Kiwis last summer.
Morgan added: "I think that New Zealand series was very important. We'd talked about emulating what Australia and New Zealand did at that World Cup.
"From where we were to where they were, we were miles away and in order to bridge the gap we had to try and emulate the fashion in which they played and the aggressive nature in which they went about their game.
"So they did play a key part, absolutely."

England sealed their place in the last four of the World T20 with a 10-run win over Sri Lanka on Saturday, in which Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes impressed with their bowling in the final overs of the reigning champions' chase.
"You want guys to come in and say they want to bowl at the death," added Morgan.
"Ben Stokes and Chris Jordan are guys who I have relied on in the past and they have grown into death bowlers by virtue of their performance.
"It is an area we have struggled with in the past and he [Jordan] has taken on the responsibility of being the man who wants to bowl at the end.
"He always has a cool head, knows his plans and goes about executing them well."
The men's semi-final against New Zealand is the second part of an England World Twenty20 semi-final double-header in Delhi on Wednesday with Charlotte Edwards' women's side taking on Australia in the morning.
"It is a proud day," added Morgan. "The girls have been outstandingly great in the last five or six years.
"They have held the flag very high, even when we have been poor. It is nice to be able to share tomorrow with them. It would be remarkable to both go through to the final."

England's women won the inaugural Women's World T20 in 2010 - their only triumph in the event.
They have been involved in some extremely close games in this tournament but remain unbeaten, winning all four of their matches to qualify as Group B winners.
"We have learned a lot from our games," England captain Charlotte Edwards told BBC Sport. "We know we can get over the line and it has probably brought us closer together as a team."
Wednesday's game gives England the chance for revenge after being beaten by their old rivals in the 2012 and 2014 finals.
Edwards is one of a number of England players who featured in the most recent Big Bash T20 competition in Australia, but she says any friendships will be put on hold during the semi-final.
"I have played with a few of the Australia girls but as soon as we step over the line... it is the fiercest rivalry in cricket and certainly in the women's game," she added.
The stats you need to know
"With the ball England have been ruthless," says BBC cricket commentator Charles Dagnall. "Anya Shrubsole the pick, backed up well by the spinners, but Jenny Gunn has been a standout at the death.
"To progress, it's all about their batting. Head coach Mark Robinson has tried to change the dynamism of the England line-up, and up front it's worked.
"Charlotte Edwards' role quite simply is a boundary hitter. She isn't quick enough to pick up the ones and twos, yet she is the best in the world at piercing the infield during the powerplay.
"Tammy Beaumont has come of age and rather than play second fiddle to Edwards, she has been given the freedom to attack.
"England's middle order struggles on the slow pitches to get going against spin. Sarah Taylor, while her keeping is exemplary, 28 runs in four innings is under par for a player of her class.
"Lydia Greenway's place is under threat but her being the only left-hander in the side will be taken into consideration.
"Spin has dictated the women's WT20, it shouldn't change in Delhi. The winner of this match will be who copes best as both sides prefer the ball coming on. England shouldn't be afraid and I would play them all.
"Here is my team for the semi: Edwards, Beaumont, Taylor, Knight, Sciver, Wyatt, Gunn, Brunt, Shrubsole, Marsh, Grundy."
Dobey, 26, reached the last eight of the Grand Slam of Darts in November and also appeared in the European Championship in 2016.
Pipe won their previous meeting 6-4 in Coventry in May.
"You can't be friends on stage, you've got to want to beat who's in front of you," Dobey told BBC Newcastle.
"He's a great lad, I've played him before and he's got his own style. Some people don't like the way he plays, he's quite a slow player. I respect him, I'm looking forward to it."
Northumbrian Dobey's rise to earning a place at the World Championship is reward for a rapid progression through the professional ranks.
"I was more into football at an earlier age, but darts is something I'm good at," Dobey added.
"It's more a natural talent, my dad, grandfather and uncles all played, I've just come on the scene playing five or six years and came along the last year or so.
"I'm enjoying it and doing well, which is a bonus."
Harnessing fusion - the process that powers the Sun - could provide an unlimited and cheap source of energy.
But to be viable, fusion power plants would have to produce more energy than they consume, which has proven elusive.
Now, a breakthrough by scientists at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) could boost hopes of scaling up fusion.
NIF, based at Livermore in California, uses 192 beams from the world's most powerful laser to heat and compress a small pellet of hydrogen fuel to the point where nuclear fusion reactions take place.
The BBC understands that during an experiment in late September, the amount of energy released through the fusion reaction exceeded the amount of energy being absorbed by the fuel - the first time this had been achieved at any fusion facility in the world.
This is a step short of the lab's stated goal of "ignition", where nuclear fusion generates as much energy as the lasers supply. This is because known "inefficiencies" in different parts of the system mean not all the energy supplied through the laser is delivered to the fuel.
But the latest achievement has been described as the single most meaningful step for fusion in recent years, and demonstrates NIF is well on its way towards the coveted target of ignition and self-sustaining fusion.
For half a century, researchers have strived for controlled nuclear fusion and been disappointed. It was hoped that NIF would provide the breakthrough fusion research needed.
In 2009, NIF officials announced an aim to demonstrate nuclear fusion producing net energy by 30 September 2012. But unexpected technical problems ensured the deadline came and went; the fusion output was less than had originally been predicted by mathematical models.
Soon after, the $3.5bn facility shifted focus, cutting the amount of time spent on fusion versus nuclear weapons research - which was part of the lab's original mission.
However, the latest experiments agree well with predictions of energy output, which will provide a welcome boost to ignition research at NIF, as well as encouragement to advocates of fusion energy in general.
It is markedly different from current nuclear power, which operates through splitting atoms - fission - rather than squashing them together in fusion.
NIF, based at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is one of several projects around the world aimed at harnessing fusion. They include the multi-billion-euro ITER facility, currently under construction in Cadarache, France.
However, ITER will take a different approach to the laser-driven fusion at NIF; the Cadarache facility will use magnetic fields to contain the hot fusion fuel - a concept known as magnetic confinement.

Resuming 102 behind on 195-6, the hosts lost Matt Critchley for 20 to Steve Magoffin (2-44), while Shiv Thakor (81) added 23 to his overnight score.
Tom Taylor fell to Ollie Robinson (4-110), but Tony Palladino (29 not out) and Ben Cotton's (26) last-wicket stand of 51 made Sussex bat again.
Needing 11 to win, the visitors wrapped up victory inside the first over.
Sussex move on to 70 points from six matches, while Derbyshire are on 52 points but still looking for their first win of the campaign.
The £200m investment in an icebreaker was announced by Chancellor George Osborne in a speech in Cambridge.
The ship is likely to be 130m long and sport a helipad, cranes, onboard labs, and have the ability to deploy subs and other ocean survey and sampling gear.
It should be ready to enter service in 2019, and will support scientists in both the Antarctic and the Arctic.
The strength of its hull will allow it to push deeper into pack ice than any previous British research vessel.
George Osborne has committed an inflation-linked £1.1bn per year to be spent on science infrastructure through to 2020-21. A consultation with the science community will now determine where that money will go.
The chancellor listed some disciplines that could benefit - from the search for dark matter to fusion energy, from phenomics to robotics. But it wasn't for government to choose, he said: "It's over to you. The government is committing a historic £7bn to science investment. We're asking you, the science community, and the business community too, how best to invest that funding, how to maintain excellence and where are the new opportunities that will put Britain ahead in the global race?"
The consultation will report back in the autumn.
Initial technical specifications require the ship to be able to maintain a speed of three knots while breaking through 2m-thick floes.
The money to build and equip the vessel is coming from the government's capital investment fund for science, for which Mr Osborne has committed over £7bn between now and 2020-21.
Addressing an audience at the world-famous Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, the chancellor said science was at the core of rebalancing the UK economy: "I get that this is something that Britain is brilliant at, and that it's vitally important to our economic future. So I've made it my personal priority in government to support [scientists in their] endeavour."
Mr Osborne added that there would now be a consultation on how best to spend the £7bn science infrastructure monies.
The UK already operates two polar ships - the Royal Research Ship (RRS) James Clark Ross and the RRS Ernest Shackleton.
The former was built in 1990 and the latter in 1995.
A case was made to government, and accepted, that this fleet needed to be augmented with a more modern capability if the nation's science at high latitudes was to remain competitive.
An early design concept for the new ship has been drawn up by naval architects, but this will need to be finessed.
A clear imperative is that the final design features a helideck - something omitted on the Clark Ross and which experts have told the BBC is really essential for effective Antarctic operations.
Precisely where the ship will be built is an open question.
Given the scale of the investment, a home shipyard would obviously be preferred. But European Union rules will require that bids also be invited from beyond the UK.
There is sure to be some concern that the announcement of the new vessel will signal an imminent reduction in the fleet - one super ship to replace two ageing vessels.
But the Natural Environment Research Council (Nerc), which funds polar science in the UK, says this is not the current plan.
The desire is to operate both the Clark Ross and the Shackleton until at least the end of the decade, it states.
A decision will then be taken on what to do with the Shackleton, which, unlike the Clark Ross, is not British-owned but leased from a Norwegian company.
The first of five available one-year extensions to this bareboat charter arrangement comes into effect in August.

Global warming does not mean an end to polar ice nor to the need for icebreakers. Even if the Arctic becomes largely ice-free in summertime later this century, as the latest science suggests, the legacy of each winter's deep freeze will still litter the ocean - some of the jagged shards of ice will be visible but many will bob treacherously just below the surface.
While reporting on an expedition through Canada's fabled Northwest Passage in October 2007, I woke to the sound of an unnerving clanging along the hull. The vessel, the Amundsen, was pushing through pack ice and each jolt and reverberation made me wonder about the strength of the steel. But to understand how the polar regions are changing, and the implications for everything from wildlife to fishing to new oilfields to future shipping routes, the view from space offered by satellites is not enough.
For decades to come, the most detailed research will require tough vessels to venture into the midst of what has become a messy and hazardous scene.
Nerc has made it clear also that the capital investment for the new ship will not impact the budget for its day-to-day science or ongoing infrastructure needs. The investment is on a separate government line.
The council has recently upgraded its "bluewater fleet" - the open-ocean vessels RRS Discovery and RRS James Cook are both less than 10 years old.
Prof Duncan Wingham, the chief executive of Nerc, told BBC News: "The new vessel will make Nerc's entire fleet, ton for ton, the most advanced scientific fleet in the world.
"The new ship will be a clear statement of the UK's commitment to science in the Antarctic and South Atlantic, and increases our ice-breaking capability in the south and, just as important, in the Arctic."
Sir Paul Nurse, the president of the Royal Society, welcomed the "fantastic" investment in polar science, and said it showed the chancellor "really does get it".
"Of course, we're still not the biggest spenders on science; we still look at the US, at Germany and South Korea, who are all investing more," he added.
"I'm hoping we'll be able to persuade the chancellor, not only to maintain where he is but also to increase the investment so we can really compete with those countries."

Home attendances fell by 10% in the club's second season back in the Championship, as they slipped from the previous year's seventh to 14th.
But the sale of Benik Afobe to Bournemouth for a reported fee of £10m helped Wolves achieved a profit.
The figures cover the year up to 31 May 2016, prior to Morgan's sale of the club to the Fosun Group.
Having made a pre-tax profit of £731,000 the year before, Wolves also recorded an increase in turnover, up from £26.4m to £27.25m.
The year up to the end of May 2016 was also the final year of Wolves receiving a parachute payment of £10.8m following their relegation from the Premier League in 2012.
The club say this will be offset by an increase in money they will receive from the English Football League in 2017, as well as more money from television rights.
The impact of Chinese conglomerate Fosun International's takeover from Morgan in July 2016 will not be seen until next year's accounts are published.
Wolves, who have changed their head coach twice since the new owners took over, are 20th in the Championship and four points clear of the relegation zone.
League One title-winning season:
2013-14: 20,879

The move means Glasgow-based Loganair will stop flying under the Flybe brand from 31 August next year.
The Scottish airline operates on lifeline routes between the Scottish mainland and islands, including the Western and Northern isles.
Loganair, which has operated under franchise agreements for 24 years with other airlines, said it will operate in "its own right" from 1 September 2017.
The company, which also operates flights between Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee to airports in England, had a franchise agreement with British Airways from 1993 to 2007, and then from later in 2007 with Flybe.
Flybe said its decision followed "a failure to agree future operational standards and commercial arrangements".
Executive chairman Simon Laffin said: "Scotland is very important to Flybe, and we want to ensure that we serve our customers there to the highest standards, whilst delivering a return to our shareholders.
"We shall announce our plans on continuing to serve Scotland in due course.
"In the meantime our customers can travel and book tickets exactly as before, while any new arrangements will be put in place from September 2017 onwards."
Loganair said it was looking forward to operating under its own brand. The company said it was continuing to discuss with Flybe potential opportunities to work together in future.
Peter Simpson, chief executive of Airline Investments Ltd, Loganair's parent company, said: "Today's announcement is a major milestone in the 54-year history of Loganair.
"Although Loganair has flown as a franchise carrier for larger airlines over the last 24 years, there is still a huge level of recognition and affinity for the Loganair name throughout Scotland and beyond.
"We believe the time is right for Scotland's airline to now spread its wings once again, and are delighted to be introducing a bold new corporate identity to accompany this important move."
Jonathan Hinkles, Loganair's managing director, told BBC Radio Scotland that the end of the franchise agreement would not change its route network.
He said Loganair was looking to add services and not being in a franchise would give the company "greater autonomy".
Mr Hinkles said: "The essence of a franchise is that you operate under another airline's brand and you do things their way.
"That hasn't always worked in our environment and while I think the franchise agreement we have had with Flybe over the last 10 years has worked well, there have been a number of elements of that, such as offering child discount fares and free bags to be checked in, that Loganair wishes to offer but don't fit comfortably with the Flybe brand."
Loganair said it would establish its own reservations system by March 2017 for flights on and after that date on its website.
Shetland Islands MSP Tavish Scott said it was a positive announcement.
He said he hoped Loganair could go from "strength to strength" after taking action to respond to criticisms of the reliability of its services.
In March, the airline unveiled the first of its aircraft to be given a revamp as part of improvements to its operations.
Mr Scott said: "I strongly welcome Loganair's decision to fly under its own wings again.
"Flybe may have some advantages but their customer care is raised with me time and time again.
"So Loganair flying as Loganair means travellers know who they are and who is responsible for the service."
He added: "I want to see Loganair go from strength to strength in meeting the needs of island travellers and look forward to working with them on behalf of Shetland."

His family said he had suffered a heart attack on Tuesday, after several years of ill health.
During his five decades as a critic, French watched more than 2,500 movies, published several books and received an OBE for his services to film in 2013.
He is survived by his wife, Kersti, three sons and 10 grandchildren.
French was named the British Press Awards Critic of the Year in 2009.
In a 2013 Guardian Q&A session marking his retirement, he was asked what was the best film he had never seen, to which he replied: "For a long time, the best film I'd never seen was Citizen Kane.
"It opened in the Liverpool suburb where I grew up and closed after three days.
"It wasn't until I was 21 that I saw it.
"I was absolutely not disappointed. When I saw it I'd been looking forward to it for about 14 years."
He also admitted that his greatest cinematic guilty pleasure was The Sound of Music.
He was replaced at the Observer by Mark Kermode, who also reviews films for the BBC.
Kermode tweeted: "V sad news," adding, "Philip French was simply the finest film critic in the world. His writing and insight are unsurpassed."
Speaking to the Guardian, French's son Sean said: "He was extremely moral about his work.
"He didn't see it in any frivolous way.
"One of the most shocking things to him was the idea of leaving a screening before the credits had rolled.
"It was one of the worst signs of decadence."

Cattle graze peacefully on the 40 acres for most of the year, but in the winter the land is wet and prone to flooding.
Few people passing have any idea that almost a century ago, for just a few months, the area echoed to the sounds of rudimentary aero engines and bustle of a busy Royal Air Force (RAF) airfield.
In 1918, the year of the Armistice and the end of World War One, Strathroy became the home of 105 Squadron, RAF.
They flew RE8 reconnaissance aircraft, biplanes, in which they patrolled across vast areas of Ireland.
Among the pilots was Capt George Bowen, who made his first test flight there on 19 May 1918, lasting 45 minutes.
A day later his log book records that he flew over "Omagh, Derry, Aldergrove, Dungannon" on what he called a "NE Patrol".
Many more patrols followed, taking him and his colleagues over most of the island.
The cover story was that the squadron was looking for German U-boat activity along the Irish coast.
But new research by the aviation historian Guy Warner has uncovered the real reason for their wide-ranging patrols over inland areas.
"The Irish Volunteers and Sinn Féin had seen an upsurge in their activity following the conscription crisis of 1918," he said.
"The Lord Lieutenant, Field Marshall French asked for a couple of RAF squadrons for reconnaissance duties, and also to harass Sinn Féin rallies by flying low over them."
It is unclear how effective these tactics were in the north of Ireland at that time.
When they were not flying it is clear that the officers and aircrew enjoyed quite a busy social life with local families.
There were group photographs during an open day and even an egg-and-spoon race for local ladies.
One shot shows a group of officers including the squadron commander Maj DG Joy with the Scott family, posing outside Strathroy House.
In another shot, Maj Joy is looking rather bemused as he sits on the back of a donkey.
The Omagh historian and author Dr Haldane Mitchell has researched the airfield for some years, and believes few locals would have known about the airfield but for a tragedy just after Armistice Day.
On 13 November 1918, two aircraft collided a few miles south of the town, and crashed to the ground killing two pilots and an observer, and badly injuring another passenger.
One of the pilots, a Canadian lieutenant called Lawrence Booth, was buried in Omagh with full military honours.
His grave can still be visited in the town's Dublin Road cemetery.
"I'm convinced that it was only the accident that brought the fact to light that there were planes flying in and out of Omagh," Mr Mitchell said.
In all two RAF squadrons were based there, 105 and 106, but within a few months the RAF had packed up and left, even taking the aircraft hangars with them.
Few passing today are aware of its past as a base, never mind the secret missions to observe republican gatherings in the last few months before the formation of the Irish Free State in 1922. | Drive down a lane outside Omagh in County Tyrone and you will come to Strathroy House, a family home where the land stretches out in a long field inside a tight turn of the River Strule. | 35,000,942 | 715 | 51 | false |
Mark Ingram, 32, was last seen in Aberdeen's Mastrick Road on 26 November.
Police Scotland said inquiries suggested he may have gone to Tayside.
Mr Ingram is described as 6ft tall, of average build, with brown, collar-length hair. When last seen, he was wearing a black jacket, a grey hooded jumper, and dark jeans.
He also has connections in the Banchory and Torphins areas.
Last week when I was there, U Htay Oo told me he thought he could repeat his win in 2010, when the USDP had not faced competition from the NLD.
He was born in the town, and knew it well, he said. The NLD's thousands of enthusiastic supporters were, he said, from out of town and would make little impression on the population.
NLD candidate Khin Maung Yi, a retired teacher, was scarcely known in Hinthada.
The party ran on the same platform it offered everywhere else in Myanmar - the stature of Aung San Suu Kyi and vague promises of change. But that was enough.
U Htay Oo had stressed time and again in his speeches the development his party and the military had brought the region. The emotional appeal of the woman they call "Mother" was irresistible, and U Htay Oo lost - to his own surprise.
But the challenges in this area to any incoming NLD government will be formidable. Impoverished, with crumbling infrastructure and heavily dependent on poorly-developed agriculture, Hinthada, like most of the Delta region, needs huge amounts of development.
Pyo Myint Thein, a pro-NLD activist and member of the so-called "88 Generation" of dissidents said what was important to him was ensuring that the military's grip on local government was loosened.
He wanted to see USDP-appointed officials replaced and the favouritism shown to pro-military cronies ended, although he acknowledged that this would take time.
I heard plenty of complaints about the way certain companies were allowed to dominate the trade and processing of commodities like rice and sunflower seeds.
Another local woman said her priority was more reliable electricity, improved schools, and better roads. The road to Yangon is so rough the 160km (100 miles) journey takes more than five hours.
Young people there spoke during the campaign of the need for more job opportunities, so they did not have to leave their hometown for Yangon to find employment.
And seasonal farm worker Myint Tin, who is landless, believed an NLD win would inevitably ease the tough and insecure life she and her husband lead, although she could not say exactly how.
Myanmar is a huge country, with many areas far poorer than the Irrawaddy Delta.
Aung San Suu Kyi's first task will be to negotiate a handover of power from a military establishment, which has run almost every aspect of administration for the past 53 years.
After that, though, her inexperienced and untested party will have to manage the enormous expectations their ebullient campaign has aroused.
The honeymoon will be brief, and she must hope for some luck with the economic cards her government is dealt in its first few years in office.
Under the former regime, press and broadcasters were tightly controlled. Since then, the number of broadcast and print outlets has increased, as has their freedom to report and debate political and social issues.
State TV - which used to toe the government line - has changed tack, giving airtime to the former opposition.
Freedom House says there is polarisation within the media, with news outlets divided by ideology, political affiliation and economic interests.
The state broadcaster has two national TV channels and several radio networks. Egyptian, French and pan-Arab satellite TVs have a large following.
Tunisia has a developed telecom environment, with a high rate of mobile phone ownership and relatively cheap broadband.
There were more than 5 million internet users by 2014 (InternetLiveStats.com).
Use of social media during the 2011 protests prompted commentators to describe the events as a "Facebook victory" and a "Twitter revolution".
Facebook is extremely popular and is used by many as a news source.
Pervasive filtering ended with the fall of Mr Ben Ali. Since then, officials have blocked Facebook pages set up by cyber activists, and courts have ordered bans on pornographic sites.

Speaking during an exchange with the SNP's Angus Robertson, Theresa May also warned against "constitutional game-playing".
Mr Robertson had accused Mrs May of breaking promises to secure a UK-wide agreement on Brexit.
She said there would be further talks with devolved administrations.
The heated exchange, at Prime Minister's Questions, came after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced plans to call for a second independence referendum in response to the UK voting to leave the EU.
Ms Sturgeon wants the vote to be held in the autumn of next year or the spring of 2019, to coincide with the conclusion of the UK's Brexit negotiations.
The prime minister seized on comments from the European Commission on Monday, which suggested that an independent Scotland would have to apply to join the EU, rather than automatically being a member.
Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas said the "Barroso doctrine" continued to apply - a reference to former commission president Jose Manuel Barroso setting out the legal view that if one part of an EU country became an independent state it would have to apply for EU membership.
Mrs May said: "Scotland will be leaving the European Union, it will leave the European Union either as a member of the United Kingdom or were it independent.
"It's very clear with the Barroso (doctrine), it would not be a member of the European Union.
"What we need now is to unite, to come together as a country and to ensure that we can get the best deal for the whole of the United Kingdom."
Mr Robertson, the SNP leader at Westminster, said the prime minister had promised in July of last year that she would secure a UK-wide approach and agreement with the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland before starting the formal Brexit process by triggering Article 50.
But he said that, with Mrs May due to invoke Article 50 by the end of this month, no agreement had yet been reached.
Mr Robertson asked: "Does she not understand that if she does not secure an agreement before triggering Article 50, if she is not prepared to negotiate on behalf of the Scottish government and secure membership of the single European market, people in Scotland will have a referendum and we will have our say."
Mrs May said there would be "further discussions" with devolved administrations during the Brexit negotiations.
And she told Mr Robertson: "You are comparing membership of an organisation that we have been a member of for 40 years, with our country. We have been one country for over 300 years.
"We have fought together, we have worked together, we have achieved together, and constitutional game-playing must not be allowed to break the deep bonds of our shared history and our future together."
There has been speculation that the SNP could be preparing to alter its long-standing policy of EU membership after independence, with some commentators suggesting the party could instead seek to become a member of the European Economic Area.
This would give Scotland full access to the single market, but without being a full member of the EU - similar to the status of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway.
Speaking on Tuesday, the Scottish government's Brexit minister, Michael Russell, said there would be "absolute clarity" on its position on EU membership by the time of any second referendum, asking for "patience" in the meantime.
He said: "We will set out our position in advance of the choice so it is an informed choice."
Meanwhile, the House of Commons will now consider holding a debate on whether a second Scottish referendum should take place after a petition was posted on the UK government's official website.
By 15:00 on Wednesday, there were almost 120,000 signatories to the petition titled: "Another Scottish independence referendum should not be allowed to happen".
All petitions backed by more than 100,000 signatures are considered for a parliamentary debate.

A spokesperson at ITV said that the organisers wanted to avoid having the BGT finale on at a time when it could distract from the concert.
They said: "Ariana Grande's 'One Love Manchester' benefit concert is bringing artists and the public together, and will raise funds for the Red Cross's Manchester Emergency Fund. ITV and Britain's Got Talent have no desire to distract from this important cause, so we have taken the decision to move the Britain's Got Talent Final from Sunday night."
Cyprus international Makris had not scored in 30 games since a summer move from Famagusta but lashed home from 20 yards, only for Chris Maguire's deflected strike to earn United a draw.
Walsall twice thought they had taken the lead inside the opening seven minutes but Scott Laird's tap-in was ruled offside and Kieron Morris rattled the post from 18 yards.
Morris also saw a 20-yard strike superbly saved by U's keeper Simon Eastwood later in the half.
Walsall took the lead after 47 minutes as Makris unleashed an opportunistic half-volley from 20 yards that dipped in off the bar.
Oxford almost levelled two minutes later as Walsall defender James O'Connor sliced Maguire's cross onto the post and Conor McAleny's follow-up was hooked off the line by Matt Preston.
United did level when Maguire's 25-yard strike took a wicked deflection in off O'Connor on 74 minutes and they almost won it as McAleny's 30-yarder was well saved by Neil Etheridge.

"I think it was the right decision, Ali Salama was the last man," Damja told BBC Sport.
"Though Tunisia - I think it was Aymen Abdennour - committed the same foul, but I don't want to talk about officiating.
"This is our reality, this is African football and we know officiating is a big question mark," Damja added.
Libya appeared to have opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Anis Saltou nodded a looping header over Aymen Mathlouthi.
However, Kenyan official Davies Omweno consulted with his linesman and whistled for offside, cutting celebrations short.
The match was played in Algeria as an ongoing civil war continues in Libya. Playing on neutral territory is a clear disadvantage, though the Mediterranean Knights insist that they will continue to battle the odds.
"It's true if we had 50,000 or 60,000 spectators, we might perform better. But what can you do? This is our situation." Damja lamented.
"Nothing is impossible in football. We will fight for our chances."
The victory takes Tunisia to the top of Group A with two victories from two group games. Libya are bottom with two consecutive defeats.
Seven more African qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup in Russia will take place on Saturday, with a further two more scheduled for Sunday, including the other Group A fixture between Guinea and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Conakry.
Only the five group winners will qualify to represent Russia at the World Cup in 2018.
It comes amid a sweeping government-led crackdown on corruption.
Liao Yongyuan was the company's second-highest ranking official and is alleged to have taken "enormous" bribes and abused his position to advance others.
The former chairman of both companies, Jiang Jiemin, and other executives have also faced prosecution since 2013.
Mr Liao has also been expelled from the Communist Party, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced.
"Liao Yongyuan was a senior party official, and seriously violated the party's political rules and the organisation's discipline," a statement on its website said.
Mr Liao, who worked at the parent company China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) for 30 years, was appointed vice-chairman of PetroChina in May 2014.
He stepped down from all of his posts in March.
Mr Liao is the latest in a series of high-profile government, military or business figures to be targeted in a corruption probe.
This includes former China security chief Zhou Yongkang, who was jailed for life last week after being found guilty of a range of crimes, including bribery.
President Xi Jinping, who initiated the graft crackdown three years ago, has described corruption as a major threat to the very survival of the ruling Communist Party.
The well-known London Road Fire Station in the city centre is to be refurbished and expanded.
A boutique hotel and spa, restaurants, bars, flats, and offices are included in the plans, while a new glass prism will feature in a central courtyard.
Final tours of the building are taking place on Saturday and Sunday.
Tour guide Jonathan Schofield said his visits to the station, which closed in 1986, have been "the most popular and in some ways, the most emotional".
"The building speaks to the heart of Manchester with not only its scale and presence, but also its human story," he said.
Plans for the building's refurbishment have been submitted to Manchester City Council.
Developers Allied London, who bought the building in 2015, hope to start work on the redevelopment later in the year and said it would be "sensitively refurbished and expanded" to "preserve its unique character".
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) says the government is not on track to meet its pledge of cutting emissions 80% by 2050.
And they controversially warn ministers to park their recent ambition to tighten carbon reduction targets to protect vulnerable nations.
Ministers say they are determined to tackle climate change.
They say they will publish new policies soon.
They support the Paris Agreement on climate which commits to holding temperature rise to 2C - preferably 1.5C.
But the committee is warning the government not to run before it has proved that it can walk.
They controversially advise ministers not to adopt stricter targets for the moment, even though poor nations say they are essential.
The report states: "Do not set new UK emissions targets now. The UK already has stretching targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"The priority for now should be robust near-term action to close the gap to existing targets and open up options to reach net zero emissions.
"The most important contribution the government can make now to the Paris Agreement is publishing a robust plan to meet the UK carbon budgets and delivering policies in line with the plan."
It says the government can re-visit the 1.5C ambition in the future.
The advice has infuriated campaigners. Craig Bennett from Friends of the Earth told BBC News: "The job of the committee is to offer advice on carbon budgets based on the scientific evidence, not what feels politically expedient.
"What message will it send to the world for Britain, once a climate leader, to give up on one central tenets of the Paris Agreement less than 12 months after it was signed?
"It's no surprise that the government's approach to climate policy is failing. A five-year-old could tell you building runways, allowing new open-cast coal mines, and forcing fracking on local communities while doing precious little to support renewables or energy saving isn't going to help us limit temperature rises to 1.5 degrees.
"But it's government policy that needs to change and fast, not the targets."
The committee is important because it provides step-by-step technical guidance for government to meet targets stipulated under the Climate Change Act.
The first phase of the planned low-carbon transformation - making electricity almost entirely low-carbon by the early 2030s - is more or less on track, members say.
But the government is lagging badly in preparations for the next phase, electric vehicles. And most disturbingly, plans for heating the UK's homes - the last phase - are in disarray as the heat pump technology thought likely to keep us warm in coming decades has failed to meet expectations.
The committee now wants the government to prepare for natural gas in homes to be supplanted by hydrogen, which would entail a revamp of the gas grid and replacement of existing boilers and cookers over time in a process similar to the switch from town gas to natural gas in the 1960s.
But, it says, this will only work if carbon capture technology is used when the hydrogen is produced, and the carbon emissions buried into rocks. This technology has been touted as the get-out-of-jail option for years - but plans to develop it have stalled, mostly because of the cost.
The report warns: "Current decarbonisation policies, at best, will deliver about half the required reduction in emissions. Acting with urgency to close this policy gap would reduce long-term costs and keep open options for the future."
The government admits its low carbon strategy is lagging but the climate minister Nick Hurd previously told me the issue was complex, and it was better to deliberate a while than to adopt the wrong policies.
The strategy is supposed to be out before Christmas but he said it could be delayed until next year.
If the government adopts a new target of 1.5C the committee says that would entail reducing emissions to what's known as net zero - in which any emissions are offset by activities that soak up CO2.
The committee warn that even with full deployment of known low-carbon measures some UK emissions will remain, especially from aviation, agriculture and parts of industry.
That will mean taking CO2 out of the atmosphere to compensate by various measures, including: planting forests to absorb carbon dioxide; investing in materials that store carbon; burning wood for energy and capturing the emissions; using timber for buildings; encouraging the weathering of rocks, which buffers CO2 - and ultimately directly sucking in CO2 from the atmosphere.
The report says the government should prepare for these technologies to be ready by 2050 to be deployed at scale. It says: "We agree with the government's intention to set a new target in future that reflects the global need to reach net zero emissions.
"However, to be credible it needs to be evidence-based, accompanied by strong policies to deliver existing targets and a strategy to develop greenhouse gas removals."
This reflects sentiment at a recent Oxford conference on removing CO2 emissions. Academics who had previously viewed CO2 removal as a sign of government policy failure were increasingly willing to support the technologies as an unfortunate necessity for keeping the earth habitable.
Even with the CO2 capture technology, difficult choices will have to be made, the report says: "Reducing residual sources of emissions to close to 100 MtCO2e (million metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent) per year would require stretching options in hard-to-treat sectors, such as substantial biofuel use in aircraft and reduced red meat consumption in diets."
A committee spokeswoman rejected the criticism from Friends of the Earth. She said: "The CCC is very clear that the priority now is for Government action.
"The CCC welcomes the Paris Agreement. More work needs to be done on how to translate the net zero goal into a feasible, credible long-term target for the UK."
The government has committed to cutting emissions but the prime minister says her priorities are energy cost and energy security.
A spokesman for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said it would "carefully consider the valuable advice" from the CCC.
He added: "We are already making good progress towards meeting our goal of reducing emissions by at least 80% by 2050 on 1990 levels, and we are now looking ahead to set out how we will continue to decarbonise through the 2020s."

Hazard, 25, was named PFA Players' Player of the Year as Chelsea won the Premier League last term but is yet to score a league goal this season.
"Last year everything was beautiful and this year everything is, for him, dark. The contrast is huge," said Hiddink.
"He was the number one and now he's at the end of a long row of players. That's difficult. What do you do?"
Belgium international Hazard, who has four years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge but has been strongly linked with a move away from the club, will miss Saturday's home game against Manchester City through injury.
"The next period will be very interesting for him," added Hiddink. "Not now, just this season, but also the Euros and the upcoming season.
"If he is planning (to move) in his career, then he must show it where he is playing now and in the near future.
"I hope he uses his quality in a way that he doesn't think too much ahead or back."
Italy manager Antonio Conte will take charge of Chelsea after this summer's European Championship, but Hiddink warned the incoming boss to expect an "even more competitive" Premier League next season.
The Blues, the defending champions, lie 10th in the top flight with six games remaining, 13 points behind the top four.
And Hiddink, who won the FA Cup with Chelsea in 2009, also said the run-in feels "a little bit empty" with no silverware to play for.
"There are no guarantees whatsoever," said Hiddink, 69.
"The clubs will have more money to spend next year, which means the league will be even more competitive, which is very nice for everyone, except for those who have been used to being at the top for many years.
"We're used to fighting for something and nothing is at stake at this moment. That's strange."

Michael Dynes, 38, from Rossin View in Dungannon, allegedly targeted young people through advertisements seeking life models on the Gumtree website.
He would then "audition" them by webcam and try to incite them into committing sexual acts, a court was told.
He is facing a series of sex charges.
They include making and possessing indecent images of children, having what are described as extreme images and committing an act outraging public decency.
He is also accused of engaging in sexual acts in the presence of children and inciting children to watch another person engaging in sexual acts.
Mr Dynes was arrested as part of the first joint operation between the National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Police Service of Northern Ireland, known as Operation Jarra.
His home was searched at the start of June.
The charges relate to various dates between 2009 and this year.
Mr Dynes appeared in Dungannon Magistrates' Court as the charges were read out.
He had been on bail since June while a forensic examination of what was found in his home took place.
That report revealed that his computers contained hundreds of images, the court heard.
Other extreme material was also recovered.
An NCA officer in court opposed bail and said the investigation had revealed Mr Dynes was chatting with boys and girls online and trying to incite them into committing sexual acts.
The judge refused bail and Mr Dynes will appear again by video-link next month.
Westminster Chief Magistrate Howard Riddle said they must pay a total of £93,500 by 6 November.
Mr Assange's supporters offered the sureties before he took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden.
He faces arrest if he leaves the embassy after breaking bail conditions.
Mr Assange has been granted political asylum by Ecuador and has been in the embassy since June.
He says he fears that if he is extradited to Sweden he will be sent to the US to be questioned about the whistle-blowing Wikileaks website - but this has been denied by Swedish prosecutors.
Mr Assange was arrested on an extradition warrant and is wanted for questioning in Sweden over rape and sexual assault allegations, which he denies.
Nine individuals have been told to pay amounts of between £3,500 and £15,000.
The judge said he accepted they had all acted in good faith.
"I accept that they trusted Mr Assange to surrender himself as required. I accept that they followed the proceedings and made necessary arrangements to remain in contact with him," he said.
"However, they failed in their basic duty, to ensure his surrender. They must have understood the risk and the concerns of the courts.
"Both this court and the High Court assessed that there were substantial grounds to believe the defendant would abscond, and that the risk could only be met by stringent conditions including the sureties."
Vaughan Smith, a friend of Mr Assange, addressed Westminster Magistrates Court last week on behalf of the nine people, who put up £140,000 between them.
He said all those who had offered sureties were "convinced that they have done and are doing the right thing".
The chief magistrate decided each of the backers had to pay part of the sum originally pledged, under the 1980 Magistrates Court Act.
They were as follows: retired professor Tricia David £10,000, Lady Caroline Evans £15,000, Joseph Farrell £3,500, Sarah Harrison £3,500, journalist Phillip Knightley £15,000, friend Sarah Saunders £12,000, friend Vaughan Smith £12,000, scientist Sir John Sulston £15,000 and Tracy Worcester £7,500.
He said: "I say immediately that I have real respect for the way that the sureties have conducted themselves in difficult circumstances.
"I am satisfied that what they have said and written accurately reflects their genuine views."
The UK has said it has a legal obligation to see that Mr Assange is handed over to Sweden.
The veteran broadcaster presented the annual charity event for 35 years until poor health saw him pull out in 2015.
Friday night's BBC One broadcast was the first since Sir Terry died in January and a fundraiser of the year trophy was awarded in his memory.
Presenter Rochelle Humes said Sir Terry would have been proud of this year's "absolutely incredible" total.
Last November's Children In Need show raised £37.1m on the night.
The 2016 show featured special editions of Strictly Come Dancing with Team GB Olympic squad members and EastEnders.
The winner of the first Sir Terry Wogan Fundraiser of the Year Award was announced as Lauchlan Muir, from West Lothian, a boy who raises funds by being a "human statue".
Sir Terry's son Mark, who presented the award, said the late presenter's family were "hugely grateful" for the "amazing tributes".
He added that Children In Need was his father's favourite night of the year.
"The money raised tonight and throughout the year actually made a difference to people who need it. And that's why he loved it," he said.
Presenters Tess Daly and Greg James kicked off this year's show saying: "Sir Terry was somebody who embodied Children In Need and was someone we will all miss very, very much."
Graham Norton and Ade Adepitan later took over hosting duties and showed a montage of Sir Terry's best Children In Need moments, including clips of him performing with Madonna and showing some moves on the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor.
A host of celebrities appeared on screen as part of the night's entertainment.
Among highlights were Sue Perkins, Mel Giedroyc, Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood poking fun at The Great British Bake Off's move from the BBC to Channel 4 in a sketch also featuring Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne, and Ricky Gervais appearing in his David Brent guise.
There were also performances from Michael Buble and Little Mix.

As with other oil firms, the rise in net profit came thanks to its oil refinery business, which saw a 96% increase to $4.9bn in the year.
But profits from Total's oil exploration business plunged more than 50% in the year to $4.8bn.
Total hailed its results as the "best performance among the oil majors".
Oil prices have fallen some 30% in the last year alone, forcing major oil firms to cut back on investment in exploration and denting profits from oil extraction.
"This resilience in a degraded environment demonstrates the effectiveness of the group integrated model and the full mobilisation of its teams," said chairman and chief executive Patrick Pouyanne.
Total has also bought its first spot cargo from Iran since Western sanctions were lifted, said chief financial officer Patrick de la Chevardiere.
The oil major signed an agreement in late January to purchase up 200,000 barrels per day of Iranian crude.
Total estimated that its cash break-even in terms of oil was $45 a barrel. Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil prices, is currently trading at about $30 a barrel.
The oil firm plans to cut capital spending to about $19bn in 2016 and said it was targeting asset sales worth around $4bn.
Total said it planned to pay an annual dividend of €2.44 a share. Shareholders will have the option of receiving the fourth-quarter dividend payment of €0.61 per share in cash or new discounted shares.
Conor Morgan, from Kilcoo, County Down, was working on the site near Shott Farm on Hamilton Road in High Blantyre at about 09:45 BST on Wednesday.
Paramedics treated Mr Morgan, but he died at the scene.
He worked for Newry firm Re-Gen Waste but was working at the Avant Homes construction site.
Canon Sean Rogan of St Malachy's Parish said the local community is heartbroken.
"Conor was a very hard working member of the parish. He leaves a wife and three teenage boys," he said.
"We had a five thirty mass here on Sunday morning, on Easter Sunday, a dawn mass, and Conor was there at that mass and then after that he got his lorry and went off to work in Scotland. It's so sad, so tragic."
In a statement, Re-Gen Waste described Mr Morgan as a popular employee who would be missed by the "entire Re-Gen family".
Avant Homes said an investigation has been launched and all work at the site had been suspended.
A spokeswoman for the company said their thoughts and condolences were with Mr Morgan's family.
Egyptologists and snake experts have combined to examine the plausibility of the tale of the queen being killed by a cobra hidden in a basket of figs.
They believe a snake big enough to kill the queen and two maids would not have been small enough to be concealed.
They also challenge the credibility of three consecutive fatal bites.
Cleopatra, who died at the age of 39 in 30BC, was a ruler of Egypt who became embroiled in power struggles within the Roman empire.
But her story and her death have become part of popular legend, portrayed in fictional form from Hollywood epics to Carry On films and television comedy.
From Roman sources onwards, her death has often been attributed to a poisonous snake or "asp", with the queen using the fatal bite as a way of ending her own life.
But Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley and Andrew Gray, curator of herpetology at Manchester Museum, say the supposed culprit - a cobra - would have been too physically big to be concealed in the way that has been portrayed.
They are typically 5-6ft long and can grow to 8ft (2.5m), and the Manchester experts reject the idea such a snake could be hidden in the way suggested.
Even if such a snake had been smuggled in to Cleopatra, they say it would have been very unlikely that it could have killed Cleopatra and two of her servants in quick succession.
"Not only are cobras too big, but there's just a 10% chance you would die from a snake bite: most bites are dry bites that don't inject venom," said Mr Gray.
"That's not to say they aren't dangerous: the venom causes necrosis and will certainly kill you, but quite slowly.
"So it would be impossible to use a snake to kill two or three people one after the other.
"Snakes use venom to protect themselves and for hunting - so they conserve their venom and use it in times of need."
Dr Tyldesley, author of Cleopatra: Egypt's Last Queen, is a contributor to a free online course - a Mooc - about ancient Egypt made by the university.
The course, A History of Ancient Egypt, is being launched next week and will study Egypt from before the pharaohs through the relationships with Greece and Rome and ending with Cleopatra.
Customer service staff are being cut by about a third as HMRC expects more people to access services digitally.
But a report by MPs says it is "not convinced" the tax authority will not repeat the "collapse" of 2014-15, when call waiting times tripled.
HMRC says average waits are now five minutes and it aims to get that down.
The report by the Commons public accounts committee notes that HMRC, which has to save £98m by 2021, expects to employ 16% fewer staff and close 137 offices. Those remaining will be largely working in 13 regional centres.
Tax credit removals criticised by MPs
The tax authority is aiming to make most processes automated and have more staff focusing on specialist work to crack down on tax avoidance and evasion.
"HMRC expects that, as it introduces more online services, a channel shift will occur resulting in a reduction in the demand for phone calls as more people will be able to meet their needs through online services," the MPs report said.
But the committee noted the "collapse" of customer services in 2014-15 after 5,600 staff were made redundant.
It highlighted that during an 18-month period, call waiting times tripled and some customers were kept on hold for up to an hour.
The MPs said there was an "enormous challenge" ahead for HMRC, while it also restructures its business, relocates many of its staff and moves to a new IT contract.
Having already lost its chief digital and information officer, any more departures of key staff would be damaging, they warned.
The committee said: "HMRC is staking a great deal on the success of its plans to digitise the tax system, but once again it lacks an adequate plan if demand for its call centres does not reduce as quickly as it hopes."
Committee chairwoman Meg Hillier said: "The lack of a convincing fall-back plan to safeguard service as HMRC undergoes significant change remains a looming threat to its ability to collect tax from individuals simply trying to pay their fair share.
"By the spring we will expect to see evidence that HMRC has agreed measures with the Treasury to ensure it is not left playing catch-up at taxpayers' expense."
The committee also restated its concern about the "unnecessary hardship and suffering" to tax credit claimants caused by HMRC's failed contract with private firm Concentrix to tackle fraud and error and urged greater transparency about the tax affairs of multinational corporations to ensure they "pay their fair share of tax".
Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the Public and Commercial Services union, said the report showed staff cuts had damaged services and there was now an "overwhelming case" for HMRC to stop plans to "close 90% of its UK offices and axe thousands more employees".
A spokesman for HMRC said: "We now consistently answer 90% of calls first time, in an average of less than five minutes.
"We have invested heavily in customer services, recruiting more than 3,000 new staff who are also available outside normal office hours when many of our customers choose to call us.
"This is alongside a new range of popular digital channels for customers to get the information and support they need without having to pick up a phone or pen."
The department added that it had "led the way" on global tax transparency and tax avoidance by multinationals and its efforts to crack down on tax avoidance, evasion and fraud had brought in £26.6bn over the last year.
Naomi Long received the threat following loyalist outrage at a council decision to limit the flying of the union flag at the City Hall.
The flag had been flown every day but is now flown on designated days.
On Wednesday, an Alliance party office was destroyed and the home of two councillors attacked.
The party said that Ms Long, who is also her party's deputy leader, was warned by police in the early hours of Friday to leave her home and go to her constituency office.
A Sinn Fein councillor on Belfast City Council, Jim McVeigh, has confirmed he has also received a death threat.
Earlier this week, Alliance, Sinn Fein and SDLP councillors voted to limit the flying of the flag while the DUP and Ulster Unionists opposed the move.
Speaking at Stormont on Friday, Ms Long said: "I will not let that threat deter me from serving my constituents. I will not let it influence decisions that my party takes.
"We will take our decisions based on principles, based on furthering our beliefs and objectives in delivering a shared future and we will not be deterred from that by violent people.
"We need mature political leadership from those who, over this week, have been whipping up tensions, stirring up dissension and pointing fingers of blame at people on these issues.
"That is not without consequence. People need to stand up now and say that violence is wrong and they need to defuse this situation and allow Northern Ireland to go forward as it should."
Earlier in the week threats were also made against Alliance councillor Laura McNamee and Sinn Fein MLA Gerry Kelly.
A police spokesperson said the PSNI did not comment on an individuals security but said any reports of threats that had been made against any member of the public would be investigated.
First Minister Peter Robinson has condemned those responsible for issuing a death threat against Naomi Long.
"Such threats are an affront to democracy and an attack on us all. As someone who in the past has been visited many times by the police to be told of death threats issued against me, I know how difficult and testing a time this is," he said.
"My thoughts and prayers are very much with Naomi at this time and I would call upon all concerned not to allow themselves be used by those who have very sinister motives. Regardless of political difference, public representatives should not be attacked or threatened in any way."
The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has also condemned the threats
"The death threat against the East Belfast MP Naomi Long is to be condemned in the strongest possible terms and needs to be withdrawn immediately.
"This is the work of fascists who cannot accept the democratic decision of Belfast City Council," he said.
"Threats remain against Alliance councillor Laura McNamee, Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly and councillor Jim McVeigh. Each and everyone of these threats must be lifted."
There have been protests since Monday when Belfast City Council voted to fly the union flag on designated days only.
Nationalists at Belfast City Council had wanted the union flag taken down altogether, but in the end voted on a compromise from the Alliance party that it would fly on designated days.
The vote was 29 to 21, with unionists accusing Sinn Fein, the SDLP and Alliance of attacking their cultural identity.
Leonard, who was born Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, had four Top 40 UK albums with the band from the late 1960s.
He recently returned to his home town with his long-term partner Mary.
Friend Kevin Allen, who directed the film Twin Town, said: "Deke was a true gentlemen of acid rock and he had a fantastic presence on stage."
Man toured across Europe and America and could include Frank Zappa among their admirers.
As well as working as a radio and television panellist, Leonard was a regular guest at the Laugharne Festival.
Mr Allen added: "Deke was such an interesting, gentle and lovely person and he was part of a dying breed - he'll be really missed."
Another friend, Paul Durden, who co-authored Twin Town, said: "I am really very sorry for both Mary and his daughter Kate. It is very sad news.
"Deke was an old mate, who I had known since the '60s. He was an elder statesman of rock music and was a brilliant man himself."
Leonard's bandmate, Micky Jones, died in 2010 at the age of 63.
Its competition commissioner is likely to outline her intentions against the search giant following a five-year EU investigation into the company.
Reports suggest Margrethe Vestager will issue a "statement of objections".
That would escalate a process that could ultimately lead to billions of euros of fines.
But Google told employees on Tuesday that it had a "very strong case" and is expected to defend itself robustly in what could become one of the most contentious antitrust cases since the EU took on Microsoft 10 years ago.
The Commission is responding to complaints that Google, which accounts for more than a 90% of EU-based web searches, favours its own products in search engine results.
The company has yet to respond formally.
The European Commission has investigated the antitrust allegations - made by Microsoft, Tripadvisor, Streetmap and others - since 2010.
They object to the fact that the firm places reviews from Google+, directions from Google Maps, music and videos from YouTube, and adverts from its Adwords platform ahead of others' links in relevant searches.
"At the core must be the fundamental principle that Google must not abuse its power in general online search to give preferential treatment to its own separate services," Icomp, a lobbying group representing the complainants, said earlier this year..
"If Google takes the view that users are best served by search results that integrate additional services, Google must choose the services that benefit consumers most, even if the services are not its own."
Last year, Google agreed to alter the way it displayed its search results, but the changes it suggested were deemed to be insufficient.
The previous competition commissioner, Joaquin Almunia, asked the company to come up with a new plan.
He left his post without resolving the matter, and was criticised by some politicians for not having taken a firmer stance.
Ms Vestager, his successor, may take a tougher line by issuing a "statement of objections".
This involves sending a letter that sets out all the objections the commission can base its final decision on, and is a legal requirement, providing Google an opportunity to respond before action is taken.
Google could face huge fines and be ordered to reshape its business in Europe.
In recent years, the Commission has imposed antitrust penalties on other tech giants, ordering Intel to pay 1.1bn euros (£793m; $1.2bn) in 2009 and Microsoft 516m euros in 2013.
Thomas Vinje, spokesman for FairSearch Europe, said issuing a statement of objections would "represent a significant step towards ending Google's anti-competitive practices, which have harmed innovation and consumer choice".
"Google's search engine makes it a gatekeeper to different markets in which Google itself also operates," said Paul Henty, a lawyer at Charles Russell Speechlys who has previously worked for the European Commission.
"I think the Commission will want to send an unequivocal message that it has a special responsibility to give its rivals fair and equal access to customers.
"But 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."
In an internal memo to its staff, Google insisted that competition to its search business was "thriving" despite allegations to the contrary.
"People can use Bing, Yahoo, Quora, DuckDuckGo, and a new wave of search assistants like Apple's Siri and Microsoft's Cortana," it said.
"In addition, users increasingly turn to social networks like Facebook and Twitter to find news and suggestions - where to eat or which movies to watch.
"[And] mobile is changing everything - with the explosion of apps taking people directly to the information they want."
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.
Their counterparts in Russia, Brazil, Argentina, Taiwan and Canada have also opened investigations.
However, the US Federal Trade Commission dropped its own probe at the start of 2013 after Google made several non-binding commitments.
Kath Rathband said her estranged husband David would call her up to 100 times a day asking to come home despite having a relationship with Lisa French.
Mrs Rathband was giving evidence at the Newcastle inquest into the PC's death.
The 43-year-old was found hanged in Blyth, Northumberland, in 2012, 19 months after being shot by Moat.
Mrs Rathband said she had visited Mr Rathband at his home on the evening he died and was concerned enough to call his welfare officer, Inspector John Heckles, and to text his sister, Debbie Essery, who lived in Staffordshire.
But despite her fears for his well-being, she did not consider he was going to kill himself, she told the hearing.
"Of course I couldn't possibly know," she said. "Nobody could have known. But I did not feel that David was in imminent danger of taking his life for a moment."
Ms French, who was at the inquest, survived the bombing of the number 30 bus at Tavistock Square in London in 2005, despite sitting near the bomber.
Mrs Rathband said the last time she saw Mr Rathband he had just returned from Australia and "looked awful".
"He said to me, 'I'm sorry, I do love you'," she told the inquest. "'I don't want to be friends'."
She said that she had taken him back after previous affairs, but would not do so again.
"I told him I couldn't go back after his behaviour to me and the kids and he could not understand why," she said.
Later, he called her to tell her again that he loved her and that "I wouldn't see him again", Mrs Rathband said.
Mrs Rathband said: "I told him, 'Don't be stupid, don't say things like that'."
Mrs Rathband discovered he had begun a relationship with Ms French after they exchanged Twitter messages.
She found out it was more than a friendship in late December 2011, before he flew to Australia to visit his twin and she said it "put an end" to plans to rebuild their marriage.
"By this point it was my opinion our marriage was over due to David's level of deceit," she said.
Giving evidence, Ms French said shortly before his death he told her he had tried to kill himself, but had been unable to go through with it.
She said it had been a "step forward" for her, as it might mean he had "come to terms" with the fact that he could not "put himself through that".
She told the inquest: "David did not make threats to kill himself to me, but he expressed suicidal thoughts. He trusted me and said he felt so low it made him feel suicidal.
"He also spoke at great length about how he did not want to do it and he fought bravely and courageously for the whole six months that I knew him."
Before the inquest began, Mr Rathband's father Keith, said: "The evidence that the coroner has been given identifies that David was let down by the people that could have prevented his death.
"The findings of the coroner may be a foregone conclusion to many. Our hope is he finds David's death was preventable in the circumstances."
Moat shot Samantha Stobbart, who survived, and Chris Brown, who died, in Birtley, Gateshead, on 3 July 2010, hours after his release from prison.
The next day he shot Mr Rathband, originally from Stafford, twice in the face as he sat in his patrol car in East Denton, Newcastle.
Following a week on the run, the former nightclub bouncer turned the gun on himself during a stand-off with police in Rothbury on 10 July.
The inquest into Mr Rathband's death is expected to last five days.
Agnew, 51, took charge after Aitor Karanka was sacked on Thursday.
Boro are currently 19th, three points from safety with 11 games remaining, as they host Manchester United at the Riverside on Sunday.
"I'm capable of drip-feeding ideas into the group that will pay dividends," said Agnew.
Boro are winless in their last 10 Premier League games and are the league's lowest scorers with just 19 goals.
"I have a clear view of exactly what's needed and that's what I aim to deliver - I do believe we will stay in the Premier League," added Agnew.
"It would be the biggest single achievement of my life - I'm capable of delivering it, the players are capable of delivering it."

Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson has denied Karanka was sacked, instead saying the 43-year-old Spaniard "sacrificed himself" for the club in a mutual decision to step down.
"We did agree that change was required, we did accept that the team hasn't evolved since about Christmas and not only have we not gone forward, we've probably slipped backwards a bit," Gibson told The Times.
Gibson added Karanka was "tired" after three and a half years at club and that they both concluded "he perhaps wasn't the guy at this point in time to deliver that change."
Agnew said Karanka's departure was a "difficult and very emotional day" but did not think the former manager was tired after doing an "incredible" job, including securing promotion to the Premier League last season.
"In the end, football is about results, but I would never have a bad word to say about Aitor and what he's done," he added.
Agnew also denied there had been a rift between Karanka and the players, including a reported training ground row with Stewart Downing, adding his side are "the best group of players I've worked with in terms of their attitude".
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has criticised Boro's decision to split with Karanka, who worked under the Portuguese at Real Madrid, claiming he "knows the names" of players who contributed to Karanka's sacking.
When asked about Karanka's departure, Mourinho sarcastically answered "he deserved to be sacked".
He added: "In the first year he arrived, the team was going into League One and he saved the team. In the second year, he took the team to Wembley to play the playoff final. In the third year he had direct promotion, I think in the fourth year, he deserved to be sacked."
When asked if he wanted the job on a permanent basis, Agnew insisted he was solely focused on Sunday's match but added taking charge of the first team was a "massive opportunity" and that he had "served [his] time" as an assistant, having worked under Karanka for two and a half years.
Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare was recently appointed until the end of the season, having been in interim control, and Agnew said: "If I can do what he has done we will all be pleased."
Gibson has hinted that Agnew may be placed in charge until the end of the season, stating there is a "bit more steel" to Agnew than people realise and he "could be a surprise number one".
"That may disappoint those people who want glamour and somebody to come in ready-made, a sexy name, but that's not what we need at this point - he's more than a safe pair of hands," said Gibson.
The club have also appointed former Portsmouth, Tottenham Hotspur and QPR coach Joe Jordan to support Agnew during the run-in, with the interim boss expecting Jordan to have a "big impact" on his players.
"[Joe] lives in Bristol - when I made the phone call, he was in the car and was here six hours later, that tells you all you need to know," said Agnew.
Pearl, daughter of BBC's The Voice contestant Paul Black, died after a Range Rover, parked in a driveway in Heolgerrig, Merthyr Tydfil, rolled down a hill and crashed into a wall.
Her family said she was "every single star in every single sky".
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Both Pearl and her younger brother were rushed to hospital after the incident at about 13:40 BST on Sunday.
Pearl was taken to Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil by air ambulance but died a short time later.
Her brother suffered minor injuries, police said.
In tribute to Pearl, her family said: "She was as bright as the stars, when she looked at you with those eyes and she would melt your heart.
"She was the reddest pearl in the ocean and the sweetest melody ever written.
"She was the greatest dancer and she has left a massive hole in our hearts, the world will be a darker place without her. She was the reason we all lived."
A spokesman from South Wales Police said: "An investigation is now under way into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
"It is known that an unoccupied Range Rover which had been parked in a driveway, rolled down the hill and collided with a wall which collapsed.
"The family respectfully ask to be left alone to grieve at this very difficult time and are being supported by specially trained officers."

Flanker Warburton's six-year tenure ended as coach Rob Howley named seven uncapped players in his 36-man squad.
Leicester fly-half Owen Williams, Wasps flanker Thomas Young and Newport Gwent Dragons wing Ashton Hewitt are among the uncapped call-ups.
Welsh exiles George North, Jamie Roberts and Taulupe Faletau continue as "wildcard" picks.
Warburton first captained Wales in 2011, and became the youngest player to lead them at a World Cup later that year.
He has won 69 caps for Wales, a record 49 as captain, and also skippered the British and Irish Lions.

Ospreys captain Jones, 31, has often deputised for the Cardiff Blues player, including for the Lions' third Test win over Australia in 2013, when Warburton was injured.
Jones has won 105 caps for Wales, and six for the Lions and Howley said: "He is the first name on the team-sheet."
Howley said he has spoken to Warburton about him switching from open to blind-side of the back-row and highlighted the strength of back-row competition he faced.
Howley is deputising for Warren Gatland while the New Zealander prepares to take the Lions to face the All Blacks in June.
The current Wales coach says Gatland backed his decision over the captaincy and hopes Warburton "can get his mojo back".
"I spoke to Sam and he agreed it was the best decision for him," said Howley.
"He is a world class player and we want him to be the best he can be."
Howley added: "It's an honour to select Alun Wyn as captain.
"His vast experience, as a player and a leader will help drive this squad forward and I believe he will flourish in the role."
Howley praised Warburton for the "great success" he has had as Wales captain.
He added: "We want him to concentrate on his game and to be the best player he can be.
"No player is guaranteed their place in an international team and we want Sam to be playing his very best rugby and he agrees this is the best way forward."

North, Roberts and Faletau fall under the so-called "Gatland's Law", which limits to three the number of affected Welsh exiles Howley can select this season.
The Welsh Rugby Union's (WRU) senior player selection policy (SPSP) means only three players who play outside Wales can be picked.
Japan-based Dominic Day and Bristol scrum-half Rhodri Williams are the others affected.
However, Bath lock Charteris, Young, Williams, Gloucester back-row Ross Moriarty and Exeter prop Tomas Francis are not captured by the rule.
Young, 24, has impressed this season under his father Dai - a former Wales prop and captain - at Wasps.
Along with Ospreys' Justin Tipuric and Gloucester flanker Ross Moriarty, Young is putting pressure on Warburton, 28, for a starting spot.
Ospreys scrum-half Rhys Webb makes the squad having not played since injuring an ankle in Wales' November defeat by Australia.
Howley says Webb will play some part for Ospreys in the European Challenge Cup at Newcastle on Saturday as he completes his recovery.
The uncapped contingent are Ospreys flanker Olly Cracknell and lock Rory Thornton, Leicester fly-half Owen Williams, Scarlets wing Steffan Evans, Hewitt, Aled Davies and Young.
Only Davies and Thornton have previously been in senior Wales squads.
In the absence of veteran record Wales cap-holder prop Gethin Jenkins (calf), Wales welcome back Scarlets loose-head Rob Evans after injury.
Jenkins, 36, has amassed 129 Wales caps and five more for the Lions.
Howley said after the hamstring injury suffered by 18-year-old Ospreys wing Keelan Giles at the weekend, he felt it was in the player's "best interests" not to pick him.
"We don't know how significant the injury is," added Howley.
Wales 2017 Six Nations squad

Frenchman Bosse, 25, took an unexpected gold at the World Championships in London earlier this month.
But on Wednesday he posted on social media that he was attacked by three individuals on Saturday, adding that an investigation is now under way.
"I suffered unspeakable psychological damage," he added.
"For all these reasons, my season ends from today."
No further details have been released at this stage.
Bosse was due to compete in the annual DecaNation in Angers on 9 September.

Maria Mills, 51, was originally awarded £1,100 a month from 50-year-old Graham Mills after 13 years of marriage.
Appeal Court judges also ruled he should pay her £1,441 per month as she is "unable to meet her basic needs".
Mr Mills had argued he should not have to "pick up the tab" 15 years after the couple split.
Lord Justice Longmore and Sir Ernest Ryder heard the couple married in 1988, had a now-grown-up son, separated in 2001 and divorced in 2002.
Mr Mills, a surveyor, had agreed to give Mrs Mills, a former Notting Hill estate agent, almost all their "liquid capital" when they divorced, while he kept his business.
His barrister, Philip Cayford, told the court Mr Mills, who now lives in Guildford, had since remarried and wanted to "move on" with his life.
The court heard Mrs Mills had made some "unwise" property investments, moving from a house in Weybridge to a flat in Wimbledon, and then to an apartment in a luxury Victorian mansion block in Battersea.
After selling the Battersea flat she was left "without any of the capital", the court was told, and was now living in a rented home in Weybridge.
Mrs Mills works for two days per week as a beauty therapist, the court was told.
Frank Feehan, representing Mrs Mills, said she had been left with the responsibility for the couple's young child and without enough money to buy a house that she considered "good enough".
He said his client was "unable to meet her basic needs".
In the ruling, Sir Ernest said Mr Mills had the ability to make the increased maintenance "until a further order of the court".
Aneurin Donald and Andrew Salter are the Welsh players left, after injuries to David Lloyd and Kiran Carlson.
"Our long-term ambition is that we want to get as many local players in the team as we possibly can," said Morris.
"But they have got to be good enough to warrant a place in the side."
Owen Morgan and Connor Brown have been included in match-day squads in the T20 Blast, without making the final 11.
Six South African-born players, including new signing David Miller, two born in Australia and one Englishman featured in the win over Gloucestershire in Bristol, which took Glamorgan to the top of the Southern Group ahead of Surrey on run-rate.
Chris Cooke and Craig Meschede, born in Johannesburg, are now qualified for England.
"It's got to be a balance. We're in a professional sport and we have to be competitive," said Morris ahead of Glamorgan's home game against Surrey on Friday, 28 July.
"You look at some of the opponents, and the make-up of their side is not too different to ours.
"We're excited by some of the talent we have, in red-ball (Championship) cricket particularly, Kiran Carlson, David Lloyd, Aneurin Donald, Owen Morgan, Andrew Salter and Lukas Carey this season have played for us as young men.. and in two or three years time, given their experience, we're going to have a strong nucleus of Welshmen."
Glamorgan have suffered from having three home games rained off in succession at their Cardiff headquarters.
"Top of the table, we can't do much better than that and that's despite having three games rained off and that's been incredibly frustrating for all of us," Morris told BBC Wales Sport.
But despite another poor weather forecast for the Surrey match, the former ECB chief executive hopes that 2017 will still turn a profit thanks to five international matches at the SSE Swalec Stadium.
"We were really pleased with our international programme," Morris added.
"We set some ambitious budget targets and we're very close to those targets which is a great credit to the staff."
All-rounder Graham Wagg, 34, is in talks with Glamorgan over a new contract after getting to the milestone of 100 wickets in the T20 Blast, a figure reached by former team-mate Dean Cosker in 2016.
"It's a nice achievement, I didn't actually know but my father texted me, so unfortunately I'm going to have to buy a round," joked Wagg.
"[Cosker] messaged me to say congratulations on the way home from Gloucestershire. He got 100 just for Glamorgan but hopefully there's plenty more in the tank for me.
"Watching [Durham's] Paul Collingwood and [Kent's] Darren Stevens playing at 41, I've only just turned 34 so I think there's a lot left for me and I feel I'm still in my prime."
"I am really looking forward to a fresh challenge and getting started," he said. "I see a good opportunity to play first team football with the development squad here.
"Swansea play good attractive football and I think that suits my style of play."
The 18-year-old joined United after coming through the Arsenal academy.
The right-back is hoping to make a quick impression at his new club.
"I see myself as a quick, strong and powerful player who likes to get forward. I hope I can offer something both in attack and defence," he said.
"Having grown-up in London and living in Manchester for the last four years, Swansea will be a fresh challenge for me. It is one I am looking forward to, I can't wait to get started.
"I want to make my mark, secure a starting place for the development squad and help make an impact this season."

In an interview with the Financial Times, the chancellor said he would reduce the rate to below 15% - five points lower than its current 20% rate.
That would give the UK the lowest corporation tax of any major economy.
But former World Trade Organization chief Pascal Lamy said Mr Osborne had to consider what the EU would think.
He told the BBC the chancellor's plan would be seen as in effect the start of Brexit negotiations, and starting with tax was not the right way to go about it.
"The UK is already activating one of the weapons in this negotiation, which is tax dumping, tax competition. I can understand why he [Mr Osborne] does that, because obviously investors are flowing out from the UK, and he wants to provide them with some sort of premium that would make them think twice before they leave the United Kingdom.
"He has to think about the impact of this on the continent. This will be seen on the continent as the start of the negotiation.
"And I'm quite convinced that at the end of the day, if you want a proper balanced win-win relationship in the future, starting with tax competition is not the right way psychologically to prepare this negotiation."
Mr Osborne said the cut was part of his plans to build a "super-competitive economy" with low tax rates.
A Treasury spokesperson confirmed the Financial Times's story was correct but said they did not know when the cut would happen.
In March, the chancellor said corporation tax would fall to 17% by 2020.
Mr Osborne told the FT it was important for "Britain to "get on with it" to prove to investors that the country was still "open for business".
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the proposal was "counter-productive". He told the BBC the tax cut would not create the business investment that the UK needed.
He said it was "not constructive" to be "offering up Britain as a tax haven" to Europe and warned this could hit taxpayers.
Mr McDonnell accused the chancellor of being "chaotic" by bringing in "panic tax cuts" and instead called for a "steady strategy". He also warned that it was not the right way to open negotiations to get the best deal in Europe.
"I don't think it sends the right message to those countries that wish to establish a co-operative relationship with us in the future, so that we get some of the benefits we had in the EU, even though we're outside of it," he said.
Before the referendum, George Osborne said that a vote to leave the EU would force him to introduce billions of pounds worth of tax increases and spending cuts in order to repair damage to the public finances.
It is now clear that his real strategy is very different.
The proposed cut to corporation tax, which would give the UK one of the lowest rates of any major economy, is designed to help the country attract new investment and court businesses which might otherwise have been put off by the uncertainty surrounding the country's relationship with the EU.
Mr Osborne's announcement comes amid reports that the Bank of England could this week lower the amount of capital banks have to keep aside as a safety net in case of unexpected risks.
On Tuesday, the Bank publishes the outcome of its bi-annual Financial Policy Committee meeting which looks at risks to the UK's financial stability.
Mr Carney said last week that the Bank would take "any further actions it deems appropriate to support financial stability".
One option could be to reduce the amount of capital banks are required to hold to help stimulate the economy.
Mr Osborne has already abandoned his long-held target to restore government finances to a surplus by 2020 amid fears the uncertainty caused by the Leave vote could hold back the economy.
The chancellor said the economy was showing "clear signs" of shock following the vote to leave the European Union.
"How we respond will determine the impact on jobs and growth," he said at the time.
Economists have also warned about the impact of the Leave vote.
"Having voted for Brexit last week, the economy is clearly going to go into a down swing, that might be a full-blown recession, that might just be very very low growth," Paul Johnson, the director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said last week. | George Osborne has pledged to cut corporation tax to encourage businesses to continue investing in the UK following the EU referendum vote. | 36,699,642 | 926 | 27 | false |
He is also wanted for drug-related charges in the United States but the Mexican authorities are yet to decide on whether he should be extradited.
Guzman was the world's most wanted drug lord before his capture last weekend.
The head of the Sinaloa cartel was arrested in his home state, 13 years after escaping from prison.
He is thought to have smuggled more drugs to the US than anyone else.
On Tuesday, two separate courts charged Guzman with new drug-related offences.
The decisions means Guzman will remain in a maximum security prison in Mexico for the immediate future.
Mexican investigators are expected to try to extract "much information" from Guzman to advance "the process against insecurity in Mexico", the country's Interior minister, Miguel Angel Osorio Chong, told the Spanish news agency, Efe.
Guzman was detained in the beach resort of Mazatlan on Saturday without a shot being fired.
A spokesman for the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York said prosecutors there "planned to seek his extradition".
In 2001, Guzman escaped from a high-security jail in Mexico hidden in a laundry basket. He was eight years into his 20-year sentence.
Guzman's Sinaloa cartel is believed to be one of the biggest criminal organisations in the world, trafficking drugs into more than 50 countries worldwide.
Forbes magazine has estimated Guzman's fortune at about $1bn (£600m).
Barry Meyer, 52, of Walthamstow, crushed Alan Neve with the lorry's front and back wheels, causing "almost instant death", the court heard.
Mr Neve, from Poplar, was hit during morning rush hour in High Holborn on 15 July 2013 and died at the scene.
Blackfriars Crown Court banned Meyer from driving for 10 years.
Meyer had previous convictions for drink driving and admitted causing the 54-year-old's death.
He was also guilty of driving without insurance and a licence.
CCTV footage of the crash showed Meyer also drove through a red light.
Sentencing Meyer, Judge Worlsey said the harm the lorry driver had caused was "devastating beyond all measure."
Mr Neve's widow Penelope was in court when her statement was read out.
It said: "I want to start by telling you that I loved Alan with all my heart and that he made me happier than anyone else in the world."
"There is not one area of my life that has not been affected," she added.
The court heard how when Mr Neve's rucksack was brought home from the scene, his wife took out the sandwich he had made for his lunch and froze it. It is still in the freezer.
She also folded up the last bedding he used and stored them in a wardrobe.
"His pyjamas are still under his pillow. I smell them and imagine he is here," she said.
London Cycling Campaign welcomed the jail term and 10-year driving ban, but said: "We believe, however, that a lifetime driving ban is essential to keep such dangerous drivers off the road."
Crews were called to Albert Road, Southsea, after the fire broke out in the shop shortly before 06:00 GMT.
About 40 firefighters in 10 fire engines with an aerial ladder were used to bring the fire in the terraced building under control.
Police closed a section of the road between Victoria Road South and Fawcett Road, and advised motorists to avoid the area.
The fire service said no-one was in the property.
An investigation is under way to establish how the fire started.

The move is expected to result in 16 and 17-year-olds being allowed to vote.
The measure was part of the package agreed by the Smith Commission.
It has been brought forward ahead of the other proposals so it can be implemented in time for next year's Holyrood election.
Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael told the Commons the move towards extending the franchise to 16 and 17-year-olds across the UK was "irresistible".
Mr Carmichael said it was "unthinkable" that 16 and 17-year-olds would not be able to vote in the 2020 general election.
Shadow Scottish secretary Margaret Curran warned against the emergence of a "two-tier voting" system, as opposition parties pressed for 16 and 17-year-olds to be given the vote in UK general elections.
The SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson also said it was "shameful" that the vote was not being extended to the age group for UK Parliament elections.
He said it was evidence of Conservatives in England ignoring the democratic will of the Scottish people, as 58 out of 59 Scottish MPs belong to parties who favour lowering the voting age.
Concluding the debate on the new regulations, Mr Carmichael said it was clear "all sorts of practical reasons" would stop 16 and 17-year-olds voting in May's general election.
Mr Carmichael, who told MPs he was speaking personally, added: "I think it is unthinkable that by the time we come to an election in 2020 that we will not see that election on a franchise that includes 16 and 17-year-olds.
"I think the move in that direction is now irresistible but, of course, that will be for the House to decide on another day."
Speaking earlier as he introduced the secondary legislation, Mr Carmichael commended the involvement of young people in last year's Scottish independence referendum, which he said was "truly historic and inspirational to witness."
For Labour, Ms Curran said: "If our young people in Scotland have what it takes to decide the future of their country in a referendum and soon the shape of the Scottish government, they have what it takes too to decide the shape of the UK government."
"That is why Labour would extend the franchise in all UK elections so that 16 and 17-year-olds can vote too in UK general elections."
Mr Robertson said: "I think all of us having gone through the independence referendum experience would want to make sure that that is not a one-off.
"And the fact that we can do it for Scottish Parliament elections is great, the fact that it will happen for local government elections is fantastic.
"The fact that it won't happen for Westminster elections is frankly shameful."
The transfer of powers to lower the voting age is being carried out through what is known as a section 30 order.
Prime Minister David Cameron has said he is personally opposed to votes for those under the age of 18.
But he agreed during a meeting with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in December that it was appropriate for Holyrood to decide.
Sophie Lou Butler, 20, from Stoke-on-Trent, killed Norasab Hussain after an argument about her speaking to another man, Staffordshire Police said.
Mr Hussain, 33, was found dead the day after he made an emergency call asking for an ambulance.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating.
Staffordshire Police said following the stabbing at the couple's flat in Bromley Court, Hanley on the evening of 30 May, Mr Hussain had made a 999 call asking for an ambulance.

Miss Butler remained inside the flat all night, police said, refusing to answer the door to ambulance staff or police.
Emergency services staff were not able to get into the flat until the afternoon of the following day where Mr Hussain's body was found.
Butler pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Leicester Crown Court and was jailed for six years and three months.
Det Ch Insp David Giles of Staffordshire Police said: "Their relationship was volatile and the court heard how domestic abuse was a toxic feature which undoubtedly contributed to an unhealthy relationship and ultimately this untimely death.
"Miss Butler presented evidence to the court in which she described how living in an abusive relationship had had a corrosive effect on her mental health."

Fr Stephen Crossan is reported to have sniffed coke through a £10 note on a night of drinking in July 2015 in Banbridge, County Down.
He was in a room with Nazi memorabilia and seemed to say "I shouldn't" as he snorted, the Sun on Sunday reported.
In a joint statement, the leaders of 18 nations and the EU recognised the US decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.
However, they also said other G20 members remained committed to the "irreversible" accord.
Deadlock over the issue had held up the last day of talks in Hamburg.
A final agreement was eventually reached and the joint summit statement was officially released on Saturday.
The statement also said the US would seek "to work closely with other countries to help them access and use fossil fuels more cleanly and efficiently".
The Paris accord sets targets for greenhouse gas emissions aimed at curbing global temperature increases.
In her closing news conference, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who hosted the summit in Hamburg, said she still deplored Mr Trump's position but that she was "gratified" the other 19 nations opposed its renegotiation.
However Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan later said that his country's ratification of the Paris accord was now in doubt, as the US withdrawal jeopardised compensation for developing countries.
Mr Erdogan said that when Turkey signed the accord, France had promised that Turkey would be eligible for compensation for some of the financial costs of compliance.
"So we said if this would happen, the agreement would pass through parliament. But otherwise it won't pass," Mr Erdogan told a news conference, adding that parliament had not yet approved it.
Mr Trump also won a concession on trade, with leaders underlining the right of countries to protect their markets with what they referred to as legitimate trade defence instruments.
He later tweeted: "The #G20Summit was a wonderful success and carried out beautifully by Chancellor Angela Merkel. Thank you!"
Mr Trump held his final talks of the event with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and the two leaders discussed efforts to rein in North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
The US president told his Chinese counterpart that "something has to be done" after Pyongyang tested an intercontinental ballistic missile on Tuesday with the potential to hit the US state of Alaska.
President Xi said he supported denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, and said the China US relationship had made "progress... despite some sensitive issues", state news agency Xinhua said.
Mr Xi suggested visits between the two countries' defence ministers, Xinhua added.
There were violent protests in the early hours of Sunday, with demonstrators setting cars on fire and throwing projectiles.
Hamburg has seen several days of anti-G20 demonstrations, with some of the rallies turning violent.
Police say 213 officers were injured, and 143 people were detained at the protests.
The demonstrators were protesting against the presence of Mr Trump and Vladimir Putin, as well as climate change and global wealth inequalities.
The Northern Ireland deputy first minister made the proposal on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme and reiterated the suggestion during an election debate on UTV.
DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds said he thought the issue should be decided by the assembly.
Ulster Unionist MLA Danny Kennedy also said he could not support the proposal.
The SDLP's Mark Durkan said he had no objection to holding such a referendum.
Alliance deputy leader Naomi Long said that the assembly was making itself increasingly irrelevant on the issue and she would consider the option.

The collision involving a black BMW happened on the A836, near the A99 junction and the Seaview Hotel, at about 23:40 on Friday..
Police Scotland said: "Very sadly, a man in his thirties was struck by a car and died at the scene as a result of his injuries."
The road was closed for several hours for investigation work but later re-opened.
No details of the man's identity were released. Officers are liaising with his next of kin.
West Dorset District Council earlier gave the go-ahead for phase 2b of the Brewery Square scheme in Dorchester.
The development will create a cultural quarter, including a hotel, shops, restaurants, a theatre, fountain and ice rink.
The 12-strong development committee voted unanimously in favour of the former Dorchester Brewery site plans.
Among the approved proposals is the conversion of the 130-year-old former brewery building into a hotel and spa, and homes.
The Grade II listed brewhouse will be transformed into a 52-bedroom hotel and 17 apartments.
New homes and shops will also be built on the site.
Phase one of the scheme, which is now complete, involved the construction of a new health centre and the redevelopment of the old Eldridge Pope building into shops and apartments.
Phase two, due for completion in October, includes a new cinema on Brewery Square.
Citalopram and escitalopram, which fall into this drug group, can trigger a heart rhythm disturbance, a new study in the British Medical Journal shows.
UK and US regulators have already warned doctors to be extra careful about which patients they prescribe these medicines to.
And they have lowered the maximum recommended dose.
The UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says people with pre-existing heart conditions should have a heart trace before going on these drugs, to check for a rhythm disturbance known as long QT interval.
Experts reassure that complications are very rare and that in most cases the benefits for the patient taking the drug will outweigh the risks.
QT interval is measured with an electrocardiogram (ECG) and varies with the heart rate - it gets longer when the heart beats slower and is shorter when the heart beats faster.
Some variation is normal, but if it gets too long it can upset the timing of heartbeat with potentially dire consequences - dizziness, faints and, rarely, sudden death.
To assess how common a problem long QT linked to SSRI use might be, US researchers decided to look at the medical records of more than 38,00 patients from New England.
Most of these patients had been prescribed an SSRI antidepressant, and some were patients who had been prescribed methadone. The researchers included the methadone patients for comparison because this drug (used for pain relief and to wean addicts off heroin) is known to prolong QT interval.
All of the patients had recently had an ECG.
Both citalopram and escitalopram, as well as methadone, was linked with a small but significantly longer QT interval.
This effect increased at higher doses.
But the researchers say that while longer QT interval is a risk factor for abnormal heart rhythms, these abnormal rhythms are still extremely rare, and the actual increase in QT observed was modest - so for the vast majority of patients, the potential benefits in treating depression or anxiety would far exceed the risk.
June Davison of the British Heart Foundation said: "Having a long QT interval can potentially increase the risk of a serious abnormal heart rhythm. However, as these abnormal rhythms are very rare, the potential benefits in treating depression would exceed the risk for most patients.
"People taking these drugs shouldn't be alarmed and shouldn't stop taking their medication without speaking to their doctor. If you've got any concerns, speak to your GP or pharmacist."
A spokesman for the MHRA said: "The potential risks associated are well known and restrictions have been placed on the level of dosage for particular groups of patients.
"This report acknowledges that the benefits of this medicine outweighs the risks but it is important that these factors are carefully considered by healthcare professionals for patients with pre-existing health conditions such as certain heart conditions."
Helen Williams, from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, said: "Patients should be reassured that the effects on QT noted by the study researchers were small and the risk of any adverse outcome associated with these changes is very low.
"The study results may however assist clinicians distinguish between different antidepressants drugs when prescribing - choosing a lower risk agent for patients where there is an established increased risk of arrhythmias."
Officers from the Metropolitan Police's counter terrorism command detained the man in Ealing, west London, at about 06.50 BST.
He was taken for questioning at a south London police station as detectives searched two addresses in Ealing and Hillingdon, also in west London.
A force spokesman said: "Inquiries are ongoing."
The Most Reverend Justin Welby was speaking before receiving an honorary degree from Durham University, where he studied for ordination.
Speaking in Durham Cathedral the 59-year-old said he was "very grateful" for the "very unmerited" honour.
He also spoke in support of the "good and important value" of free speech.
Previously an executive for Elf Aquitaine in Paris, he said: "The French are like the British, a country of enormous resources and strength, of great courage, who have recovered from worse than this before."
Asked to comment on religion being used as an excuse, he replied: "Religion is a very easy hook to hang other conflicts on - always has been."
Dr Welby was the Durham diocese's bishop before being promoted to the Church of England's most senior role.
The prisoners were identified as Australian Shaun Edward Davidson, Bulgarian Dimitar Nikolov, Indian Sayed Muhammad and Malaysian Tee Kok King.
Prison governor Tony Nainggolan said he believed the men were still on the resort island.
Prisons in Indonesia are dealing with an influx of people arrested for drug offences, and breakouts are common.
The four men were serving jail terms for a mix of drug and fraud offences.
They are believed to have escaped through a 50cm by 70cm hole found in the outer wall which connects to a 12m-long (36-foot) narrow tunnel, officials said.
Some reports said it was an existing tunnel used for water drainage.
Staff noticed they were missing on Monday morning during a routine check.
Australian Shaun Davidson had less than three months left of his sentence to service, according to the jail governor.
About 200 prisoners broke out of an overcrowded jail on Sumatra island in May after being let out of cells for Friday prayers.
Inmates had accused some guards of being violent and complained about their treatment in jail.
The Italian, 26, who scored two goals last season as Sunderland were relegated to the Championship, will have a medical on Thursday.
The Black Cats signed Borini for £10m in 2015, following a loan spell during the 2013-14 season.
The former Swansea and Roma player made 93 appearances in total for Sunderland and scored 17 goals.
Ahmed Nazif, who was prime minister from 2004 until last year's uprising, has also been ordered to pay a fine of 9m Egyptian pounds (£900,000; $1.5m).
Last year, Ahmed Nazif was given a one-year suspended sentence after he was charged for unlawful gains in a business deal.
Nazif is one of several Mubarak-era senior officials on trial.
He was arrested months after leaving his job in January 2011, shortly before President Hosni Mubarak stood down.
About a dozen former Egyptian officials have been charged either with conspiring to kill protesters or with various crimes related to corruption.
Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison in June for complicity in the killing of protesters.
The airline cancelled 248 flights on Wednesday and 340 flights on Thursday, making it one of the operators worst hit by the two-day strike.
No cancellations were expected on Friday, but Easyjet said some affected passengers still needed flights.
Two more stoppages are expected in the coming weeks.
French air traffic controllers have scheduled the first from 16 April to 18 April and the second from 29 April to 2 May.
Some passengers have been stranded in European cities after Easter breaks following the latest strike, prompting Easyjet to operate five "rescue" flights on Friday.
The flights will bring three parties of schoolchildren back to the UK.
The additional flights will run from Luton to Paris, Paris to Barcelona, Barcelona to Luton, Gatwick to Madrid, and Marrakech to Gatwick.
"EasyJet recognises that there are a number of passengers across the network who have been affected by these cancellations and still require flights as soon as possible," a spokesman said.
The airline said it was extending opening hours of its call centres to help those who still needed to rearrange travel. It said it took 13,000 calls on Wednesday and 12,820 calls on Thursday.
Some other airlines were affected by the strike action on Wednesday and Thursday, which affected flights to and from France, as well as flights over French airspace.
Ryanair said it had been forced to cancel more than 500 flights over the past two days.
A spokeswoman for the airline said: "All operations are running as normal. All customers affected by the two-day ATC strike have been contacted and advised of their options."
Among those affected were Nathan Thorne, 23, from Goole on Humberside, and his sister Olivia, 14, who had their Ryanair flight from Limoges to Leeds Bradford cancelled on Thursday.
Mr Thorne, who is with the army's Royal Logistics Corps, is anxious to get back as he begins a six-month tour of duty in the Falkland Islands on 22 April. His sister needs to get back for school on Monday.
"All the flights before next Thursday are booked up and the Eurostar train is extremely expensive," he said.
Short-haul and medium-haul flights operated by Air France were also affected by the strike.
A BBC investigation has sought to find out where people fleeing lawful custody actually go and why.
There were 13 prison escapes and 105 cases of absconding in 2015/2016.
While a significant number of offenders simply go home, where they are usually caught quite quickly, some manage to leave the country.
The BBC asked the Prison Service and every police force in the country where those on the run in the past three years had fled from; where they were caught; how long they were on the loose; and why they decided to flee in the first place.
The results of the investigation come amid the ongoing police hunt for Liverpool killer Shaun Walmsley who fled police in an armed escape outside Aintree University Hospital earlier this week.
Source: Ministry of Justice
The Ministry of Justice said it did not "routinely gather" or keep such information and refused the BBC's request for information.
However, data supplied by police forces and media reports suggests that the average distance travelled by escapees or absconders is 36 miles (57km) before they are caught.
Although most police forces do not record the reasons inmates go on the run, some do.
Suffolk Police, for example, told how one prisoner who absconded from HMP Hollesley Bay spent nine weeks at large. He claimed he was the victim of repeated bullying and theft in the prison. A second inmate on the run for four weeks told police when caught he absconded as a result of drugs in prison and because he "didn't get on with the Muslims".
Avon and Somerset Police, which provided the most comprehensive information of any force, told of an absconder who fled to try to "visit his ill mother in Australia", another who "wanted to go back to Nottingham and get a job" and a third who wanted "to harm his ex-girlfriend's new partner and move to West Bromwich".
Another, who absconded from HMP Leyhill, claimed he did so because of "continuous offers of drink and drugs".
Faith Spear, the former chairman of the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Hollesley Bay, has spoken to a number of prisoners who have either absconded or thought about it.
The usual reasons given, she said, were concerns about the distances from family or visits proving too costly.
"Or," she said, "they are (prisoners on) Imprisonment for Public Protection and have given up on the system and can not see another way out."
Former prisoner Phil Aldis, who served sentences at both HMP Chelmsford in Essex and HMP Wayland in Norfolk, said personal problems - such as relationship breakdowns, sick family members or desperation at being in prison - were the key reasons why inmates fled.
"There is not a lot of support in prison," said Mr Aldis. "Prisoners do not like speaking to anybody about emotional stuff because they are very worried about being seen as weak.
"Prison can be an extremely lonely place and you keep your emotions bottled up and that causes frustration and desperation."
One of the longest escape distances reported involved Ashley Fulcher, originally from Great Yarmouth and later of Selby, who fled in 2015, apparently for extradition reasons, 5,377 miles (8,653 km) to Costa Rica in Central America.
He was caught by Det Con Chris Ryan, of North Yorkshire Police, after an exhaustive intelligence-based operation in which "little bits of information" and close liaison with the Costa Rican authorities revealed his whereabouts.
Fulcher was trying to board a plane to Mexico when he was caught by the Costa Rican authorities on visa offences, Det Con Ryan said.
Det Con Ryan put on his police uniform at Heathrow Airport to arrest Fulcher, who told officers he fled because he was scared of a long prison sentence.
"You've been staring at a photograph of this guy for a long time and you've been doing all this work," the officer said. "You can't wait to get hold of him and put the cuffs on.
"On the drive back up to Yorkshire, Fulcher said he was actually quite pleased to be back in the UK. He had been a big fish in his home town.
"In Costa Rica, there are criminals with guns. He was genuinely quite glad to be back."
Although there are more than 100 prisons across the UK, the story of prison absconds can be encapsulated in just a single prison.
Take HMP Leyhill in Wotton-under-Edge for example. Avon and Somerset Police have 14 records of absconders from the Category D prison over the period 2014-2016.
Two of those who absconded were found in their parents' homes, while a further two simply handed themselves in to police after travelling up to 130 miles (210km).
One was found in woods by police close to the prison and a second was spotted in a road just a few miles away.
The most intriguing case is that of Robert Hennessey who walked out of HMP Leyhill in November 1998 while serving a life sentence for the manslaughter of his aunt in Plymouth in 1978.
Using false documents, including a fake passport, he travelled extensively before ending up in the Queensland area of Australia. It was here that he was jailed for credit card scams before being deported back to the UK in 2015. He admitted evading lawful custody and was sentenced to 16 months.
Officials said Mohammed Abdulrahman Abu Niyan, a Saudi citizen, confessed to the murders which took place in the capital, Riyadh, earlier this month.
He received instructions, cash and weapons from IS elements in Syria, the interior ministry said in a statement.
Saudi Arabia is keenly aware that it is a key IS target, correspondents report.
IS has vowed to take over Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam and site of its holiest mosques - and last year issued a call for followers to carry out attacks against Saudi targets.
Abu Niyan confessed to the 8 April attack on the police officers in a patrol car in the capital, the interior ministry said in its statement carried by state media.
The 23-year-old is also said to have admitted wounding two other policemen in a similar shooting in March.
According to officials, he carried out the attacks after contact with an IS representative in Riyadh.
The ministry said it was also offering a bounty of 1 million riyals ($270,000; £176,000) for the capture of an accomplice, Nawaf bin Sharif Samir al-Anzi.
The Sunni Muslim-dominated Saudi kingdom is part of a US-led coalition waging an air war against IS, which has seized swathes of Syria and Iraq.
Thomas, 21, had handed in a transfer request to the management and was cleared to move to Victoria Park.
He had made 21 appearances for the Stags so far this season, following a summer move from Motherwell.
"I'm pleased to get Nathan because we've needed a bit of quality in the wide areas," Pools boss Ronnie Moore said.
"It was disappointing that we lost Kal Naismith but now Nathan is here and he has quality.
"He's a genuine left-footed player who will bring a bit of sparkle to the team and he's one of those who can excite the supporters when he picks the ball up and runs."
The Ingleby Barwick-born forward returns to the north east to add to previous spells at Newcastle, Sunderland and Darlington.
"He's only a 'baby' and has been around the country to try and settle and plant some roots for him and his family [during his early career]," said Stags boss Adam Murray.
"An opportunity presented itself for Nathan where he has more security - a move which takes him back home. I have let him go with a heavy heart."
Pools boss Ronnie Moore will have Thomas, who has also played for Plymouth, available for Saturday's visit of Wycombe Wanderers.
The 49-year-old Frenchman replaced Tim Sherwood on a three-and-a-half-year deal in November, but departs after six successive defeats.
His last game in charge was a 1-0 defeat at Swansea City on 19 March, a result that left Villa 12 points from safety with seven games remaining.
Villa won only two of their 20 league games during Garde's tenure.
A club statement thanked the former Arsenal player for his efforts "during a difficult period" and said Eric Black would take temporary charge.
The decision to part company with Garde followed eight days of negotiations that concluded late on Tuesday, according to BBC Sport's Pat Murphy.
The announcement came on the day the club said it had begun working with former Football Association executive Adrian Bevington.
Birmingham businessman Steven Hollis has already become the club's new chairman in a boardroom reshuffle.
Former Governor of the Bank of England Lord King, ex-Football Association chairman David Bernstein and former manager Brian Little have also become directors.
Chief executive Tom Fox and sporting director Hendrik Almstadt left the club earlier this month.
Owner Randy Lerner, who put Villa up for sale last May, has upset fans who are unhappy about the lack of investment and the decision-making at the club.
Former Lyon boss Garde was said to be considering his future at the club after being unable to make any signings during the January transfer window.
He has also been among those who have criticised the players for a perceived lack of desire.
Garde had become increasingly dispirited by performances and said he felt "humiliated" after a 6-0 defeat by Liverpool last month. It was the first time the Midlands club had let in six at home in a league game since October 1983.
His only victories came against Norwich City and Crystal Palace in the league, and League Two Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup.
He recently refused to comment on reports Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is keen for him to return to the Ligue 1 club next season.
Villa's next Premier League match is against Chelsea at home on 2 April.

BBC Radio 5 live football reporter Pat Murphy:
Asked about the timing of the decision, announced during England's friendly with the Netherlands on Tuesday, Murphy said: "A good day to bury bad news? I honestly don't think so.
"Negotiations have been tortuous and labyrinthine. I think it's just the usual cock-up, yet another farcical period in Villa's recent history.
"Garde didn't think much of the players and the feeling was mutual. He was promised players when he signed, but Lerner turned the tap off and he felt badly let down.
"I don't think Villa could go any lower. But the players who got them into this situation are still standing. They should be looking over their shoulders."
Murphy says Villa approached former Everton, Manchester United and Real Sociedad manager David Moyes last year, but he was "unimpressed".
However, Murphy says Moyes, who was sacked by the La Liga club in November, would now "like talks".
Other candidates include Burnley's Sean Dyche, Hull's Steve Bruce, Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy and former Leicester manager Nigel Pearson.
The Monarch of the Glen, painted by Sir Edwin Landseer in 1851, features an iconic image of a Highlands stag.
A partnership between NGS and the painting's owner, drinks firm Diageo, was agreed in November last year.
Under the agreement, Diageo will gift half the painting's value to allow the gallery to buy it for £4m by 17 March.
This will allow the painting to remain in public view in Scotland.
The campaign has already raised £3.25m towards the final target, supported by donations such as the Heritage Lottery Fund, which pledged £2.75m, and Art Fund, which gave £350,000.
Sir John Leighton, director-general of the National Galleries of Scotland, said: "There has been a great response to the news that we have a fantastic opportunity to acquire this iconic image for Scotland.
"However, we still have some way to go to reach our £4m target and with only one month left until the deadline, we are keen to reach out to the public to help ensure that The Monarch of the Glen can stay in Scotland to be enjoyed for generations to come."
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "I congratulate the National Galleries of Scotland on securing significant sums from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Art Fund to support their acquisition of the iconic Monarch of the Glen painting.
"I wish them every success with their campaign to raise the remaining funding to ensure the painting can remain in public display in Scotland so that visitors from across Scotland and around the world can continue to enjoy it."
The Monarch of the Glen has been in private and corporate collections since it was painted.
He cited the Budapest government's treatment of refugees, independence of the judiciary and freedom of the press.
"Hungary is not far away from issuing orders to open fire on refugees," he suggested.
Hungary said Mr Asselborn "could not be taken seriously".
EU leaders meet in Slovakia on Friday to discuss the union's future.
Mr Asselborn's interview with German daily Die Welt is likely to inflame passions ahead of the summit.
The EU could not tolerate "such inappropriate behaviour", he said, and any state that violated such basic values "should be excluded temporarily, or if necessary for ever, from the EU''. It was "the only possibility to protect the cohesion and values of the European Union,'' he said.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto hit back, saying that his Luxembourg counterpart had "long left the ranks of politicians who could be taken seriously". Mr Asselborn was a "frivolous character", he said, adding that he was "patronising, arrogant and frustrated".
Mr Asselborn's remarks also drew condemnation from Latvia's foreign minister, who spoke of "megaphone diplomacy".
And German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, a personal friend of the Luxembourg minister, said while he could understand some in Europe were "becoming impatient, it is not my personal approach to show a member state the door".
Hungary joined the EU in 2004 and while the European Union can reject or delay a candidate from joining, it is not thought to have the power to expel an existing member state.
When the far-right Freedom Party joined Austria's government in 2000, EU member states responded by freezing bilateral diplomatic relations with Austria. Later that year the EU ended Austria's diplomatic isolation.
Hungary was caught up in an enormous influx of migrants and refugees a year ago as more than a million people headed through central Europe from the shores of Greece towards Germany and other Western European countries.
Eventually, it sealed its borders with Serbia and Croatia and built a 175km (110-mile) razor-wire fence to stop people crossing on their way to Austria. Some 10,000 police and soldiers have been deployed to guard the frontier.
Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has reacted with fury.
The head of Hungarian diplomacy described his Luxembourg counterpart as a "classic nihilist" who worked tirelessly to destroy Europe's security and culture. By way of contrast, Hungary was defending not only its own territory, but that of the EU as well, the foreign minister insisted.
"Only Hungarians have the right to decide who they wish to live with."
The number of migrants trying to enter Hungary has fallen dramatically in recent weeks.
At the Horgos Transit Zone on the Hungary-Serbian border, only 80 were waiting on Monday, down from 800 on some days in July.
Beside the Kelebia Transit Zone there were about 60, mostly from Syria and Iraq. Some had been living in atrocious conditions next to the razor wire fence for more than 10 weeks.
Approximately 4,500 migrants are currently in camps in Serbia. Most are now trying alternative routes to Europe through Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia.
A referendum takes place on 2 October when Hungarians will be asked to decide on an EU quota to take in refugees. Prime Minister Viktor Orban has strongly criticised the EU's plans to relocate 160,000 refugees across the bloc and his government has campaigned vigorously for a No vote.
Mr Asselborn, whose country is a founder member of the EU, complained that Hungary's border fence was getting higher, longer and more dangerous.
His remark that Hungary was not far from ordering live fire is likely to refer to a decision by police earlier this month to recruit 3,000 "border-hunters". The new force will carry pepper spray and pistols with live ammunition as part of their task to keep migrants out.
In the Treaty on European Union (Article 2) EU values are spelt out as "human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities".
The EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights became legally binding on national governments as well as the EU's institutions, as part of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty.

The eponymous hero of The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin is so bored with his job as a manager at Sunshine Desserts that he fakes his own death so that he can start a new life.
Forty years on from Reggie Perrin's world, the default retirement age has been scrapped and the government is urging those over 50 not to down tools and leave the labour market.
So, if we really are all going to be working across four or even five decades into our late 60s or beyond, how do we avoid the Perrin-esque feeling of heading down a cul-de-sac?
The career path many of us embark on could be described as follows: learn the job, do the job, get promoted, become a manager - and perhaps stop doing the job that we've actually got quite good at.
In some cases that promotion might come after what Clive Hutchinson, the owner of engineering firm Cougar Automation, calls "the tap on the shoulder".
In his industry that tap heralded a move from engineer to the better paid role of project manager. But in his opinion that convention didn't play to people's strengths.
"You'd have a really good engineer who wanted more money and more status and recognition, and it took him away from being a really good engineer and often into being a really bad project manager."
When Clive and his business partner took over the company in 2003 they decided that, in order to meet their target of giving their customers the best possible service, they needed to change the way they looked at career progression - to reconcile people's desire to get on with keeping them in the roles they were best suited to.
Their answer was to make both the salary and the grading structure much more flexible.
They introduced a transparent pay system and a martial arts-based framework of banding for all the roles within the company.
Project managers were no longer automatically paid more than the rest of the team, it was easier to move to different projects, and the new freedom meant experienced engineers felt they had more options than before.
"I got very frustrated," says Jim Allen, a software engineer at Cougar, of his experience of being a manager. "I just didn't enjoy coming in in the mornings.
"At the time I thought, 'What can I do? I've got no way out of this, perhaps move offices, move companies even, and go back to engineering.' And fortunately here they said, 'There's no problem coming back to being an engineer.'"
Jim returned to a job he describes as "massively broad" with the added incentive of a "bit of a pay rise", but as an engineer with 20 years' experience, he says that at his stage the job is actually more about how well the project went than large leaps in salary.
Research backs him up on that. Figures from one study suggest that workers might see pay growth of 60% in their 20s, but then see that increase slow, with a salary peak for women at 39, and for men at 48.
That leaves a lot of years of work ahead.
Dr Jill Miller, a research adviser at the CIPD, the professional body for HR and career development, says the secret to keeping motivated is what she calls lifelong learning, as much as salary.
"It's more about development opportunities," she says. "So it's work that's fulfilling, inspiring, engaging and it challenges people because I think... being bored sometimes can have detrimental effects of being stressed and that's what's going to cause people to be demotivated and leave the organisation."
Ros Toynbee, director of The Career Coach, agrees. She sees people who are often a few years into their working lives and have suddenly found they've fallen out of love with their workplace, whether it's because they've reached a milestone in their lives or they're not getting the opportunities they want.
"It may be that they're being ignored by a boss, they're not being recognised," she says. "They want to be able to progress, but are finding for some reason they can't."
So what advice does she give most often to those who feel their career has run into the sand?
"The most important thing is to keep on doing interesting things that keep you employable. Be looking out for trends, and training yourself. Don't expect your company to pay for you, because many will not."
Ms Toynbee's advice to choose skills that will ensure "longevity of career" is echoed by professional bodies such as the CIPD, as it anticipates a workplace populated by an increasing number of over-50s.
It's a change that is already happening - in 2016 there were 9.8 million people over 50 in employment in the UK, compared with 5.7 million 20 years earlier.
Nevertheless, the proportion of older workers in employment drops sharply between the ages of 53 and 67.
In its report on how we can achieve longer and more fulfilled working lives, the CIPD suggests employers should adopt a system of career reviews for older workers where their development needs are discussed.
And it says the UK could follow the example of countries such as Denmark, where many companies regularly hold "senior conversations" with their employees, covering all aspects of their career.
Would a senior conversation with his unappealing boss, CJ, have made Reggie Perrin feel less despairing about his job? Maybe not.
Better advice for him, perhaps, comes from the CIPD's Dr Miller who thinks we could all take a leaf out of the millennial generation's book by not expecting a job for life and being content with moving sideways, rather than up.
"Younger workers perhaps have more of a mindset that they have more options," she says, "that it's not like you need to choose a career when you first enter and stick with it and grow within it. They've got more of a fluid mindset."
The Shore was filmed on Terry George's family cottage at Coney Island near Ardglass.
It stars major Northern Ireland actors, including Ciaran Hinds, Maggie Cronin and Conleth Hill.
Mr George was twice previously nominated for his screenplays for Hotel Rwanda and In the Name of the Father.
He paid tribute to the people of Northern Ireland after receiving the Oscar.
"Our little film was inspired by the people of Northern Ireland, Protestant and Catholic, who after 30 years of war, sat down, negotiated a peace and proved to the world that the Irish are great talkers," he said.
"I want to dedicate this to them.
"This is about reconciliation in Northern Ireland, it is really close to my heart."
He also praised his daughter Oorlagh, who raised money for the film and acted as its producer.
"I'd like to thank the Academy because now I don't have to wait for her wedding to tell the world how brilliant she is," he said.
The Shore is about a man who emigrated to America 25 years ago to escape the Troubles and is now bringing his daughter back to meet his childhood friends, while harbouring a dark secret.
Maggie Cronin said she was thrilled to learn of the film's success at the Oscars.
"We were leaping about the place," she said.
"It ticks all the right boxes, it looks beautiful and I think it is a film we can all be proud of.
"It was a very good shoot to be involved with carried by some lovely performances."
Northern Ireland Culture Minister Carál Nà ChuilÃn said the award was a "fantastic achievement" by the Northern Ireland film industry.
"It is wonderful that local talent and hard work is being recognised on the global stage," she added.
Richard Williams, chief executive of Northern Ireland Screen, said an Oscar triumph represented "the best possible international industry endorsement for film talent worldwide".
"Terry and Oorlagh George have done us proud," he said.
"With their help, the profile of both the film industry in Northern Ireland and indeed the beauty of our place have received a major boost.
"Hundreds of thousands of short films are produced every year around the world and for Northern Ireland to win one really underlines the world class talent we have working in the industry here.
"The Shore is a beautiful, poignant and funny film."
Danny Moore, of Lough Shore Investments, which helped to fund the film said the company were delighted at Mr George's achievement.
"When Terry first conveyed the powerful vision of Northern Ireland he wanted to communicate to the world, we had no hesitation in getting involved," he added.
"For us, The Shore afforded a very unique means through which we could showcase Northern Ireland abroad, both as a place to do business, film or otherwise, and as a rapidly expanding tourist destination."
Official Chinese media say the US marine presence there is the behaviour of a "repeat offender", and criticise President-elect Donald Trump for his outspoken social media comments on the incident.
They hint that China will take a much heavier-handed approach once Mr Trump becomes president in January.
Chinese state media have long accused the US of "interfering" in the South China Sea, over which China claims full sovereignty.
China's leading paper for foreign affairs, Global Times, praises the Chinese navy for "identifying and inspecting" the drone, and dubs US surveillance in the region "typically hegemonic behaviour" and "bullying".
The overseas edition of People's Daily describes the USNS Bowditch, which released the unmanned drone, as a "repeat offender... that has conducted many surveillance operations on China".
It says this latest incident "shows the US remains questioning or even hostile towards China" and risks "barring mutual trust".
The media in particular highlight Mr Trump's social media comments.
Although Twitter is blocked in China, media, including the English-language paper China Daily, shared screenshots of Mr Trump's 17 December post, including his grammatical error that the drone was stolen from the US in an "unpresidented act".
Global Times says it fails to "see a sense of responsibility" in his comments, adding "Trump doesn't look like a president-elect".
"If these are remarks from media commentators or simply social media users trading abuse, they would be understandable," it says.
"But even the US military has not used the word 'steal' to describe China's move. Trump's tone... shows he isn't afraid to hype-up the issue - this raises concerns that he may treat relations as a game between the two major countries."
The press suggests that China will go harder on Mr Trump once he takes over in January.
China Daily says that, although an understanding "through direct engagement, as the Pentagon put it", has been reached, "Trump may not care for such an ending."
"It is good for both countries that Trump is still commander-in-waiting, or we might have a situation where cooler heads are pushed aside by surging emotion," it says.
Global Times also warns that China may take a firmer approach come January.
"China is being restrained in its response towards Trump's words, because he hasn't officially taken office yet," it says.
"But such an attitude will certainly change after Trump is in the White House."
On social media, a strongly worded post via the military page on the popular Sina web portal prompted thousands of angry comments.
It questioned US "moral integrity", saying the presence of the vessel left them "stunned".
Users voiced their approval of the Chinese navy for having removed the drone. "Onlyzyz" says: "The US supports environmental protection, so we are just picking up the rubbish!"
Thousands also commented on Mr Trump's remarks, which popular user "Guda Baihua" shared.
"Vee1119" says Mr Trump should "open an account on Weibo", China's popular micro-blogging site, to hear the Chinese public's views.

Budge will seek election at the annual general meeting on July 20
Celtic chief executive Peter Lawell and Partick Thistle managing director Ian Maxwell also intend to stand.
However, Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson has decided not to vie for one of the three available positions.
Robertson, who joined the Rangers board just over a year ago, said after "much thought and consideration" he would not seek election.
In a statement on the Rangers website, the club said they were "confident its views are being listened to and treated with the utmost respect" by other Premiership clubs.
They added "it is accepted that Rangers' voice is being heard within Hampden, both at SFA and SPFL levels."
Dundee United's Stephen Thompson beat Budge to the Premiership position last year after three rounds of votes, but quit the board in protest at the club's three point deduction and fine for fielding ineligible players in a match against Inverness in May.
He will seek election for one of the two vacant positions in the Championship alongside Hibernian's Leeann Dempster and Eric Drysdale of Raith Rovers.
In Leagues 1 and 2, from which there will be one position, Brechin City's Ken Ferguson is the sole nominee.
Kenneth McLean, 48, was caught with 57 bottles of rare malt hidden in his loft by police acting on a tip off.
They were investigating complaints that valuable whiskies had gone missing from a storage vault in Grangemouth used by drinks giant Diageo.
McLean was given a community sentence for possessing stolen goods.
He admitted the criminal offence of reset and was ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work at Falkirk Sheriff Court.
The court was told that the whiskies had gone missing from the bonded warehouse last July.
Officers were subsequently told that McLean had a large quantity of spirits in the attic of his home in Avonbridge, near Falkirk.
Nine bottles of 37-year-old Port Ellen, worth almost £2,500 each and seven bottles of Brora 1977 worth a total of £12,250 were among the whiskies recovered.
None of the bottles, which had a total value of £39,272, had been duty-paid and could not have been legally sold in the UK
McLean was arrested and in an initial police interview he claimed he had bought the whisky for cash, paying up to £2,500 for some of the bottles.
He told officers he intended to keep the whiskies for five or 10 years, then sell them at a profit.
However, it emerged that McLean told social workers compiling a report that he had accepted them as rent, and had been "wilfully blind" to the probability they were stolen.
Solicitor advocate Martin Morrow, defending McLean, said: "He acknowledges he has been extremely foolish."
Having won the toss and elected to bat, Middlesex never really recovered from losing both Dawid Malan and Paul Stirling inside the first two overs.
George Bailey's 46 helped them to 132-7, with Rory Kleinveldt taking 3-24.
Adam Rossington struck 67 not out as the hosts reached 135-3 with 11 balls remaining to join Nottinghamshire at Edgbaston on 20 August.
Notts beat Essex by 39 runs in the competition's first quarter-final on Monday.
Northants, winners in 2013 and runners-up last year, always looked in control against a Middlesex side who had made it out of their group for the first time in eight years.
Dawid Malan's team needed to take regular wickets to remain in contention and, although the hosts lost Richard Levi and Josh Cobb during the powerplay, the strength of their batting line-up proved the difference.
Rossington clubbed four sixes during his 53-ball knock, while the in-form Ben Duckett provided good support with 29 from 25 deliveries.
Gloucestershire host Durham in the third quarter-final on Wednesday, before Glamorgan take on Yorkshire on Thursday.
Single mother-of-two Karen Lucas was made redundant from her job as a financial analyst and was out of work for almost two months.
She says it will affect her for "a good number of years to come".
And she is not alone.
One in three families in England is unable to afford their rent or mortgage payments for more than a month after losing their job, according to a study for the charity Shelter.
High costs for housing and a lack of personal savings are cited as the main reasons. The government says "strong protections" are in place for "those who fall on difficult times".
Karen, from Basingstoke, said: "I lost my job in May, having been headhunted into the role and then told I wasn't needed after three months' probation.
"I had relocated and changed my plans to take up the role and was then left with £1,200 monthly rent to pay on just £73 per week jobseeker's allowance.
"I was able to cover one month's rent from money I had in the bank - but even that was a struggle.
"I had to apply for discretionary housing benefit and move my debts on to a payment plan, which will now affect all my future credit rating.
"Although I found a new job last month, I'm now on significantly less money than I was.
"I'm now taking home £2,000 a month, with £1,300 childcare and £1,200 rent. My tax credits and housing benefits amount to £900. So it doesn't leave me much and I'm on a payment plan for my credit cards.
"The effects of losing my job and being out of work for seven weeks will give me a headache in dealing with it for a good number of years to come.
"This has never happened to me before, having worked constantly for 20 years. It has totally knocked my confidence and my concern now is how do I move forward?
"I have to pay for full-time nursery, holiday clubs and before and after-school clubs to enable me to work.
"I'd be in serious trouble if it happened again. I already feel like I'm in this horrible loop and I can't see where I'll get out. It was even worse when I was out of work.
"It's a very scary place to be.
"There's help out there but it's not easy to find.
"Rents need to be reviewed by the government and as my credit rating is now affected I doubt I would be able to rent another house, even if it's cheaper, as I wouldn't pass the credit checks.
"So I have no idea what we are meant to do when we fall on hard times again. It isn't a short-term issue. It all has lasting effects." | Courts have ordered Mexican drug baron Joaquin Guzman – known as El Chapo, or Shorty – to remain in prison awaiting trial on new organised crime charges.

Dutchman Chris Bruil, who competed in the 2000 and 2004 Olympics, has been coaching Gilmour since just after the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
But he won't be with the 22-year-old at her first Olympics because of a lack of accreditation for individual coaches.
"In Holland we would never do that - we think it's ridiculous," Bruil said.
"That's just the system in the UK, and that's the way she has to work.
"I'm not able to coach her and we knew that up front. We have to try to make it the best we possibly can so she can work together with the GB coaches in Rio.''
Gilmour, ranked 15th in the world, has risen 22 places in the world rankings in the past year and is hoping to challenge for a medal in Rio.
Bruil, speaking to BBC Scotland, admits he finds the accreditation system frustrating, saying "we laugh about it" in Holland.
"That's the system and they won't change that," he added. "So I can't change the law or the system, I can only make sure she has the best preparation for her Olympics and I think we take it in the most positive way we can."
Jon Austin, performance director of GB Badminton & Badminton England, said restrictions on accreditation for individual coaches exist across all Olympic sports.
''There's limited accreditations in Rio for badminton as there is for all sports," he told BBC Scotland. "We have to consider how best to support the whole team which means we are not in a position to cater for individual coaches.
"We will be sending eight players and three coaches to the Olympics, all of whom will support the GB badminton team across the five events.
"Kirsty is an important part of the GB team and is fully engaged and fully integrated with the coaches and staff who will be supporting her in Rio."
Gilmour herself seems relaxed about the situation, despite not training in the same place as the GB coaches.
''Working with Chris has been really good over the last couple of years, but inevitably I will be working with the GB coaches come the Games," she said.
"I'm training up here in Glasgow and they're down in Milton Keynes, so there's a lot of communication, a lot of dialogue between everyone. We all know each other really well, we've got plans in place on how to go about match prep and everything, so we've got most things covered I think.''
Mother-of-two Louise Docherty, 27, died at Dykebar Hospital in Paisley in 2014 after being found unconscious in a hospital toilet.
Her death followed that of 44-year-old Kenneth McRae at Stobhill Hospital in 2012. Both patients had been assessed as high risk.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde admitted health and safety failings.
The health board acknowledged that it had failed to carry out proper observations, leading to the two deaths.
The court heard that medical student Mr McRae had been forced to give up his studies in his final year due to mental health difficulties.
He had been visited at Stobhill Hospital, in the Springburn are of Glasgow, by his sister and brother-in-law on 1 September. They had found him to be "quite unwell", the court was told.
Procurator fiscal depute Catriona Dow said that when Mr McRae was seen by a staff member at 23:40, he was noted to be "alert but not engaging".
At about midnight the member of staff saw only part of his body from outside the room.
Ms Dow added: "From her position in the corridor, outside Mr McRae's room, her view was restricted to the lower part of Mr McRae's body."
A short time later he was found to be unresponsive.
Ms Dow told the court Louise Docherty had suffered mental health difficulties following the birth of her sons in 2011.
In March 2014 she was admitted to Dykebar Hospital following a deterioration in her mental state.
She was being observed by a senior charge nurse who left her alone to take a phone call nearby.
Ms Dow said that when the staff member returned minutes later to allow Miss Docherty to speak to her social worker on the phone, she was found unconscious in the toilet.
Attempts were made to revive her and she was transferred to the RAH hospital by emergency ambulance but died later.
The court heard that "had constant observations been properly implemented" neither Kenneth McRae nor Louise Docherty would have been able to take their own lives without being noticed.
Sheriff Bill Totten fined NHSGGC £100,000, reduced from £140,000, after they admitted failings.
He said: "In this case the plea of guilty by Greater Glasgow Health Board recognises that the deaths were avoidable and accepts responsibility for the defects which lead to them."
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale is expected to set out a tougher regime for the broadcaster in plans for a new royal charter for the next 11 years.
Reports have claimed the BBC will scale back online services, including losing recipe pages and magazine content.
The BBC said it was reviewing online services but such claims were "speculation".
The royal charter expires at the end of December and a public consultation into its future was launched last year.
Earlier in May, Labour accused Mr Whittingdale of "meddling", following reports he would allow commercial broadcasters to challenge the BBC over peak-time scheduling, a claim that was denied.
Mr Whittingdale, speaking in the Commons on Wednesday, said media reports ahead of the publication of the paper had ranged from "complete fantasy" to "quite well-informed", adding: "But certainly not informed by me or my department."
A government source told the Sunday Times the White Paper was intended to "set a broad set of principles and guidelines".
"How that is applied to individual programmes and scheduling is a matter for them. But they will be subject to external regulation."
The Guardian has claimed the licence fee would be subjected to "top-slicing", with a portion of it being handed to commercial rivals in areas such as children's programming.
Newspapers have also speculated Mr Whittingdale will make the BBC publish how much it pays top talent earning more than £150,000.
At Sunday night's TV Bafta awards, Wolf Hall director Peter Kosminsky was one of a number of people who spoke out against alleged government plans.
He claimed ministers were trying to "eviscerate" the BBC and that now was "a dangerous time for broadcasting in Britain".
In a speech at the British Museum, Prime Minister David Cameron said the broadcaster was one of the "most recognised brands on the planet", while Liberal Democrat peer Lord Lester of Herne Hill warned a public protest march would follow any "stupid" decisions in regards to the BBC's future.
The White Paper is also expected to address the conclusions of Sir David Clementi's report into the BBC Trust, which recommended "fundamental reform" of the body.
The document follows 2015's Green Paper, which was a consultation paper about the future of the corporation.
In that paper, Mr Whittingdale said there was a "need to ask some hard questions in charter review if we are to ensure the future success of the BBC and, indeed, UK broadcasting".
"I believe the BBC can continue to thrive. But to do that it will need to evolve," he said.
In an email to staff, BBC director general Tony Hall said the White Paper "must give us a mandate for a secure future".
He said he would address staff following the paper's publication.
Lord Hall wrote: "It's a big moment. Of course, every Charter matters - but perhaps this one even more so, as it's taking place in the middle of a global media revolution."
He said the BBC must have a "certainty of funding, as well as control over its own revenue streams".
"This debate should lead us to a position where our creativity can flourish rather than be constrained...
"We need to change the way we're governed to make it simpler and clearer. But, any changes must protect the independence of the BBC."
Meanwhile, the corporation has announced the commissioning, publishing and some of the production of BBC Three's short-form content is to move from London to Birmingham by 2018.
The TV channel, which became online-only in February, will create new commissioner and assistant commissioner roles in the city.
Birmingham will also be the home of a team within BBC News supplying content for BBC Three's Daily Drop web stream.
The BBC said its proposed partnerships with local news organisations are also expected to be based in Birmingham, alongside the existing English Regions HQ.
The department of tourism admitted that some of the pictures shared on social media were of Finland and Slovakia.
The images ran under the slogan "Real is Beautiful".
"I have decided to step down as the head of the state tourism department," Jurgita Kazlauskiene told journalists.
Responding to the gaffe, the department and local media agencies insisted the overseas pictures were sufficient to "communicate emotion" - a claim widely mocked online.
The Real is the Beautiful page on Facebook had reportedly used stock photos from Shutterstock and the picture hosting site Flickr.
Local Facebook users have seen the funny side, with many posting shots of international landmarks, captioned as Lithuanian, with the hashtag #realisbeautiful.
Even the country's Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis joined in the joke, sharing a picture of the EU Commission's Berlaymont building in Brussels.
"From tomorrow, we start working in the new government building in Karoliniskes," he wrote.
Karoliniskes is a suburb in Lithuania's capital, Vilnius.
The post was signed off with a smiling emoji.
In a second more serious post, the prime minister promised an investigation into the "fraudulent" episode.
Lithuania launched the Real is Beautiful campaign in October last year, aiming to draw more tourists to its sandy beaches and lush woodlands.

His FA Cup strike against Reading took Rooney, 31, to 249 goals in 543 games, reaching the landmark 215 matches and four seasons quicker than Charlton.
"It's a proud moment," he said.
"We've got two home games coming up this week so hopefully I can get the next one in one of those."
United play Hull City in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Tuesday (20:00 GMT kick-off), before taking on Liverpool in the Premier League at 16:00 on 15 January.
"This club is a huge part of my life and I'm honoured to be up there alongside Sir Bobby," said Rooney after Saturday's 4-0 win over the Royals at Old Trafford.

United manager Jose Mourinho said: "A more special day will arrive. It was great but I want one more goal. He is an amazing guy in the group and we all want him to do it. To have Wayne as the top scorer in a club like this is magnificent for him."
Reading boss Jaap Stam, who played 127 times for United, added: "Wayne has been a great player from the beginning. He is a player who works very hard for the team and you could see that in the game. With the quality he has as an individual and the quality players he is playing with, it makes him an outstanding player.
"It is not surprising he has scored this many goals. Even when they are 4-0 up, he is still sprinting and running for the ball."
In 2015, Rooney surpassed World Cup winner Charlton's England scoring record of 49 goals and has since taken his international tally to 53.
The United landmark comes during a season in which the England captain has been left out of the starting line-up for both club and country, his record-equalling goal being just his fourth of the campaign.
Former United manager David Moyes, now at Sunderland, added: "First of all it's congratulations. To even get mentioned in the same breath as Sir Bobby Charlton, who for so many people is a great for what he did with England and Manchester United, is an achievement.
"You have to give Wayne Rooney credit for the limelight he has had to work under and the pressure people continually put on him.
"He has had a great career. It comes to an end at some time in football and sometimes you drop off a little bit but Wayne was always going to break the records in my eyes. The times I have worked with him he was always very good. A great player, a great trainer and someone who always wanted to go about his business well."
The signs were there from the very start that Rooney's could be a stellar Old Trafford career.
In his first game following a £27m move from Everton in 2004, he scored a hat-trick against Fenerbahce in a 6-2 Champions League win.
He has not looked back since, reaching double figures in every season at the club, including a career-high 34 in all competitions in 2009-10 and 2011-12.
Rooney and Charlton are ahead of some of the finest players that Manchester United and British football has known.
Charlton, who came up through the United youth system, spent 17 years at Old Trafford before finishing his career with spells at Preston and Irish side Waterford United.
And despite his consistency over such a long period, he never managed to hit the 30-goal mark in a single season, coming closest when he struck 29 times during his third season at Old Trafford.
Despite Rooney's scoring bursts, his goals have not come at the fastest rate. Tommy Taylor, who was a two-time title winner with United in the 1950s, holds that honour, just ahead of former Netherlands international Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Rooney's ratio of 0.459 goals per game puts him eighth on the list, while Charlton (0.328) does not even make the top 10.
Phil McNulty, BBC Sport's chief football writer
Rooney has secured his place in Manchester United history and Old Trafford's hall of greats with his record-equalling goalscoring feats.
However, he will have to resign himself to never being held in the same esteem, and place of legend, as the likes of Charlton, George Best and Denis Law.
Indeed, despite his lofty place in United's record books, the 31-year-old will never be revered by United's supporters in the same manner as the maverick Old Trafford catalyst Eric Cantona, the great leaders Roy Keane and Bryan Robson, and brilliant home-grown products such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.
This may seem brutally unfair given his contribution to United's successes, but there are several factors at work when his place in the club's historical affections is measured.
Rooney was an expensive import from Merseyside, while Charlton, who survived the 1958 Munich air disaster, led United to their first European Cup in 1968 and stands alongside his great mentor Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson as an iconic Old Trafford figure.
Best and Law came alongside Charlton as United's 'Holy Trinity' as the club emerged from the tragedy of Munich, while Cantona was the great transformer in the early 90s and the likes of Robson and Keane were world-class players and warriors.

Rooney's chequered history with the club and its fans will also have an impact on his legacy when his contribution to United - a truly great one when judged solely in a football context - is reflected upon.
In many eyes, Rooney will never quite be forgiven for the episode in October 2010 when he decided he wanted to leave, then further strained his relationship with club and fans by issuing a statement which effectively said United lacked ambition and questioned the quality of his team-mates.
This was resolved within days when he signed a new five-year-contract, but the memory has lingered for many. There was another disagreement late in the 2012-13 season as Ferguson prepared for retirement and made it clear Rooney again wanted to leave - a claim that led to the player being jeered by some fans as he collected his title winner's medal at Old Trafford.
Fans and those who record history and legends take these matters into account.
What must also be remembered is that Rooney has had a stellar United career littered with trophies, brilliance and game-changing moments. He fully deserves to be remembered as one of the greats of Old Trafford.
There will, however, be many more remembered before him.
The mother was at Derby Bus Station on Wednesday evening when she was seen slapping the child.
Police arrested the 35-year-old mother on suspicion of common assault, interviewed her and gave her two cautions.
Derbyshire Police said the child was now being looked after by social care.
It is legal for a parent to physically punish a child in the UK if the punishment is "reasonable".
However, the Children Act 2004 removed the defence of "reasonable chastisement" in England and Wales for any punishment towards a child that leads to bruising, swelling, cuts, grazes or scratches.
Scotland and Northern Ireland have similar laws.
A United Nations report suggested the UK should pass laws to ban parents from smacking their children.
A total of 268 people - including scores of high school students - remain missing after Wednesday's disaster.
Twenty-eight people are now known to have died and 179 were rescued.
It is not clear why the ferry sank, but experts have suggested it either hit a rock or turned sharply, unbalancing the vessel as cargo shifted.
The vessel - named Sewol - had been travelling from Incheon, in the north-west, to the southern resort island of Jeju. It capsized and sank within a period of two hours, officials said.
A major search and rescue operation has been under way. Bad weather, poor visibility and strong currents hampered the divers' search on Thursday.
Some of the divers have managed to enter the cargo bay of the ship, a coast guard official confirmed in a press conference on Friday.
By Martin PatienceBBC News, Jindo island
Dozens of ambulances have arrived at the port - a sign, perhaps, that this massive operation is about to enter a grim new phrase.
Just after midday local time a coast guard boat drew into the port. Three bodies were then offloaded onto a small pier. They were then carried from the pier through a police cordon to ambulances that ferried them onwards to the morgue.
This is the third day of the search and rescue operation. Many of the relatives of the missing are angry about the government's handling of this operation. I saw one man shouting at the police demanding to know why oxygen tanks sitting on the portside were not being loaded on to boats and taken to the scene of the stricken ferry - around 20km away.
The coast guard has continued to take relatives on boats to where the ferry sank. I saw around 20 or so boarding one vessel for what must be the most harrowing voyage of their lives.
But they could not identify or rescue any people due to items obstructing the way, the unnamed official added.
Air was also now being injected into the ship to help any people trapped inside - though officials have said that survivors are unlikely - and to help refloat the vessel.
Coast guard officials, quoted by AFP, say the bodies picked up were found floating in the water, and none had been retrieved from the ship itself.
Three salvage cranes have also arrived at the scene, to raise the ship or move it to another area with weaker currents.
Our correspondent at the scene described "an absolutely desperate development for the families" as three more bodies were brought in from the rescue site on Friday.
"We will review the options very carefully, as the salvage operations may hurt survivors trapped inside," Yonhap news agency quoted a coast guard officer as saying.
Meanwhile, investigators have stated that the captain of the ferry, Lee Joon-seok, was not in charge when the ferry ran into trouble.
"It was the third officer who was in command of steering the ship when the accident took place," state prosecutor Park Jae-Eok told journalists.
"Whether or not they took a drastic turnaround... is under investigation," he said.
"Though surviving crews have different testimonies about the situation, we've been investigating the captain as he was suspected to leave the steering room for an unknown reason," Mr Park added.
It is not unusual for the captain to leave the bridge, former ferry Captain Malcolm Shakesby has told the BBC.
Source: Yonhap news agency
"Depending on whether or not is was in pilotage waters, then yes, the master would be expected to be on the bridge, but if it wasn't in pilotage waters it's a common practice for one of the officers to be doing navigation," he added.
In a separate development, reports say the vice principal of Danwon High School, who was rescued from the ferry, was found dead on Friday.
Yonhap news agency quotes police as saying Kang Min-Kyu, 52, was found hanging from a tree near the gym where many of the relatives of missing passengers have been staying.
Witnesses have accused the crew of telling passengers to remain where they were, rather than evacuate the sinking ship.
Messages and phone calls from those inside painted a picture of people trapped in crowded corridors, unable to escape the severely-listing ferry.
Some 350 of those on board were students from the same high school in a suburb of Seoul who were on a field trip.
Their relatives have endured a long wait for news - their anguish compounded by conflicting information about numbers of survivors issued early on.
In a public statement issued on Friday, families of the missing called for more urgent action.
"Nobody told us about what went wrong and what was happening out there. There was not even a situation room in charge by late Wednesday," a representative said.
"Our children would be shouting for help in the freezing water," he said. "Please help us save our children."

A letter by the group says that in constituencies where Labour does well it "makes sense" for voters to "aid a progressive party like Plaid", and "to block any party that trades in fear".
They said Labour will have to work with others after the 5 May poll.
But Labour said the only choice was between them and a "rag-bag coalition".
The letter, published in the Western Mail on Saturday, is signed by ex-special advisor to David Miliband, Ian Hargreaves, former Welsh Government advisor Prof Gerry Holtham and chairman of the Yes for Wales 1997 pro-devolution campaign Prof Kevin Morgan.
It is also signed by National Museum Wales trustee Dr Hywel Ceri Jones, former Labour MP Prof David Marquand and former Welsh Development Agency economist Prof Brian Morgan.
The letter reads: "As long time supporters of the Labour Party, we are totally committed to the return of a Labour Government in Wales next week.
"But if the polls are correct Labour will not secure a majority in the assembly election and therefore it will have to cooperate in some shape or form with another party.
"Where Labour does well in the constituency section, it fares poorly in the regional list section, which is why so many people think that a second vote for Labour in such areas - like south Wales for example - is a wasted vote.
"In these areas it makes sense for voters to cast their vote in a purposeful fashion - to aid a progressive party like Plaid Cymru and to block any party that trades in fear and prejudice."
The letter adds that a "new political world" is emerging that is "more complex, more uncertain and more challenging than ever before".
The academics say that "no single party has the knowledge and the talent to deal effectively with this world".
They add: "To meet these challenges the Labour Party needs to be at the centre of a progressive political movement and we can start in Wales next week."
A Welsh Labour source said: "The choice people face next Thursday is between a Labour Government and a rag-bag coalition.
"Voting for Welsh Labour is the only way to stop UKIP in Wales."
A UKIP spokeswoman said the comments were "insulting and idiotic scaremongering".
She said: "This is the left wing trying to consolidate their chances of returning a Labour-led government when they know they are slipping in the polls and when they have failed the public catastrophically since devolution.
"How arrogant to assert that the significant percentage of people who support UKIP should not be represented by AMs."
The spokeswoman added: "UKIP is campaigning on a platform of better investment in the NHS, improving cancer care in Wales, a dynamic and bespoke education system where every child has the best chance and better devolved economic development to help boost Welsh business, which, according to these so-called academics, is scary stuff."
A Welsh Conservative spokesman said: "Welsh Labour must be really rattled if they're wheeling out prominent supporters to endorse rival parties just days before an election.
"Ultimately, there's nothing progressive about five more years of Labour failure, and we will continue to offer voters an ambitious alternative and a vision to secure real change for Wales."
Simon Thomas, Plaid's candidate for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, said: "It is true that those who want to see Wales follow a progressive path after the 5th of May need to vote for Plaid Cymru.
"Labour has proven that after 17 years in government, it is out of steam and out of ideas."
Prof Gerry Holtham is an economist and a former Welsh Government advisor.
Prof Kevin Morgan, of Cardiff University, was the chairman of the Yes for Wales pro-devolution campaign for the 1997 Welsh referendum. He was one of the leaders of the campaign by Rhodri Morgan to become Welsh Labour leader in 1999.
Prof Brian Morgan, of Cardiff Metropolitan University, is a former chief economist of the Welsh Development Agency.
Prof Ian Hargreaves is former special advisor to David Miliband.
Prof David Marquand is a former Labour MP and is a principal of Mansfield College at Oxford University.
Dr Hywel Ceri Jones is a trustee of National Museum Wales. He is a former European advisor to the Secretary of State for Wales in 1998-99.
Voters in assembly elections have two votes - one for a candidate to be their AM in a constituency area, and a second for a party to serve them in their region.
The first past the post principle is used to elect constituency AMs - where the candidate with the largest number of votes gets the seat.
For regional seats it is more complicated.
In simple terms, regional AMs' seats are handed out to the different parties according to:
If a party wins most of the constituencies in a region, it is very difficult for that party to win regional seats.
So if Labour gets a large vote in a region but already has lots of AMs elected in the constituency votes, they will not necessarily pick up any regional seats.
Regional party lists are nominated in the order that candidates will be elected if the party is successful.
For example, if party X only gets one seat in a region, then only their first candidate on the party's list is elected.
If they get two, its first and second candidates on the list are elected.
Her comments came after new forecasts wiped £9.6bn off expected North Sea revenues over the next five years.
Ms Sturgeon said the Scottish and UK governments as well as the Office for Budget Responsibility had put prices at between $100-120 a barrel.
Her comments came after big changes to the North Sea tax regime were announced, to support the sector.
The industry was hit after the price of Brent crude oil dipped below $50 a barrel, after having been at about $110 between 2010 until mid-2014.
'Bad news'
During first minister's questions at Holyrood, deputy Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said the latest oil projections had exposed "dodgy sums" at the heart of the SNP's UK election strategy and plans for "full fiscal autonomy".
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), set up to provide independent analysis, has downgraded its projections for oil receipts in 2016-17 from £2.4bn in December to £600m, with its forecasts for each of the five years to 2019-20 now less than £1bn.
Ms Sturgeon said: "When the Scottish government was projecting an oil price of $110 a barrel, the OBR was projecting an oil price of $100 a barrel and the UK's department of energy and climate change was projecting an oil price of upwards of $120 a barrel.
"So I think it's fair to say, everybody's projections about oil were wrong."
The first minister went on to accuse Labour of being prepared to "gleefully pounce on anything they can describe as bad news".
Wednesday's budget saw Chancellor George Osborne announce Petroleum Revenue Tax (PRT) would be cut from 50% to 35% to support continued production in older fields.
He added that the existing supplementary charge for oil companies would also be cut from 30% to 20%, backdated to January, effectively reversing the hike in the 2011 Budget.
The case was brought by a teenage girl and her mother who live in Northern Ireland.
Unlike the rest of the UK, abortion is only allowed in very restricted circumstances in Northern Ireland.
The appeal was dismissed on Wednesday.
The Court of Appeal also refused leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Last year it was ruled that women from Northern Ireland are not legally entitled to free abortions on the NHS in England,
More than 1,000 women each year travel from Northern Ireland to have an abortion in other parts of the UK.
Those who do travel must pay for their transport, accommodation and the cost of the procedure.
The court heard the total cost is around £900.
The case was brought by the girl, who was 15 at the time (claimant A), and whose identity cannot be revealed for legal reasons.
After becoming pregnant, she travelled to England with her mother (claimant B) in October 2012.
The court was previously told her mother had struggled to part-raise funds to pay for her daughter to have a termination privately in England.
Abortion law in Northern Ireland meant it was impossible to have the termination there.
In his judgement last year, Mr Justice King, said the differences in the legal position had "not surprisingly led to a steady stream" of pregnant women from Northern Ireland travelling to England to access abortion services not available to them at home.
But he ruled that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt's duty to promote a comprehensive health service in England "is a duty in relation to the physical and mental health of the people of England", and that duty did not extend "to persons who are ordinarily resident in Northern Ireland".
The judge, in his ruling, said that devolutionary powers have to be taken into consideration.
Because Northern Ireland is not covered by the 1967 Abortion Act, which applies in the rest of the UK, the judge ruled this was not a discrimination issue.
Opinion is split over whether the inquiry has been an essential examination of one of the most infamous events of the Northern Ireland Troubles or a pointless waste of money.
Earlier this year, Northern Ireland Justice Minister David Ford said the inquiry had "enriched lawyers but not necessarily achieved anything for the families".
But Michael Mansfield QC, a barrister who represented relatives of some of the victims, said: "The families would say you can't measure any grief and loss of your loved ones in terms of finance and the need to know the truth about what happened was vital to them."
And the Bloody Sunday Trust, which aims to preserve the memory of those who died in the shootings, said: "The issue of costs is the one which has excited most attention of the media and some politicians, not whether the soldiers committed murder or why it took so long for a proper inquiry to take place."
About half the money spent on the inquiry has gone to lawyers. It opened in April 1998 in Londonderry and heard evidence from more than 900 people between 2000 and 2005.
The report was initially planned for release the following year but instead has only been published now, after years of analysis of the evidence heard.
Thirteen people died after paratroopers opened fire during a civil rights march in Derry on 30 January 1972. A 14th person died some time later and his family believe the death was related to injuries he sustained on the day.
An inquiry was held in the weeks after the deaths, chaired by Lord Widgery, but lasted only a month. The Bloody Sunday Trust and Mr Mansfield are both highly critical of it.
The Saville Inquiry has been chaired by Lord Saville, 74, a high court judge.
Among the costs of the inquiry to be revealed in parliamentary debates or written answers are the £34m spent on IT and £26m on accommodation, including hire of venues and office space.
In February 2009, then Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward revealed the inquiry's lead QC Christopher Clarke had been paid £4.5m and Edwin Glasgow QC, representing the army, had received £4m. About a dozen other individual lawyers received more than £1m.
Unionist victims campaigner Willie Frazer, founder of Families Acting for Innocent Relatives, disputes the cost of the inquiry, claiming it is actually more than £300m - and says it is a waste of money.
Mr Frazer said: "There should have just been a police investigation.
"In South Armagh, 98% of the murders were never solved and in my own family I had five killed and six of my mates, that's almost as many as died on Bloody Sunday.
"We've never had anybody prosecuted and compensation was never an issue with us. What's the difference between those killed on Bloody Sunday and our people who were killed doing a day's work?
"We are realistic enough to know that it would do more harm than good because that amount of money could go into hospitals or other investments that would be more use than spending it on the inquiry.
"The only people getting anything out of this are the legal people.
"I just think all this is going to create is a waste of money and more resentment in the communities of Northern Ireland."
In March, Alliance Party leader Mr Ford, who became justice minister the following month, said: "I personally don't think that I am the only individual in Northern Ireland who feels the spending of £200m on enriching lawyers rather than dealing in a different way with the needs of the victims is a fairly ineffective way of dealing with the problem."
But the Bloody Sunday Trust says the inquiry had to be held, being the "only full and detailed investigation" into the events of the day.
The trust compares the Saville Inquiry costs with the £173m Manchester City spent on new players in 2009.
A statement from the organisation said: "A proper police inquiry and an inquest would be taken for granted had (that many) people been shot and killed or wounded in any other part of the United Kingdom, as recent events in Cumbria so tragically underline.
"Hundreds of young men and women joined the IRA as a direct result of what happened on Bloody Sunday and the subsequent Widgery Inquiry.
"Many people died or were imprisoned because of the failings of Widgery.
"This should put any discussion about costs of the Saville Inquiry into perspective."
Mr Mansfield also said the need to find out the truth about what happened overshadowed the cost.
He said the Saville Inquiry was unique, having been set up at an important time in the peace process, and was a "stepping stone" to the power sharing agreements now in place.
Mr Mansfield said: "The inquiry wasn't really limited to the 30 minutes or so when the firing took place. They decided it could not be seen in isolation, it was part of a sequence of events and it was necessary to look at why so many thousands of people turned out for a march of this kind.
"It was the families who campaigned for this inquiry and they have to stand very proud."
But the Committee on the Administration of Justice, a human rights organisation based in Belfast, said the length of the process had been traumatic for the families.
Deputy director Aideen Gilmore said: "It is regrettable that the families of those killed on Bloody Sunday have had to wait so long both for an inquiry and for the report of this inquiry.
"If there had been a full and thorough investigation in the first place, and those responsible held to account, the families of victims could have been spared the trauma of such a lengthy delay."

In recent weeks a string of world leaders have expressed their views on the UK's EU referendum. And the vast majority of them back Britain remaining in the EU.
"If the countries that are closest to you, those who you have a special relationship with, are suggesting you might be better off staying in this relationship with Europe, it's worth paying attention," said US President Barack Obama.
"The United Kingdom needs Europe and Europe needs the United Kingdom," said European Council President Donald Tusk.
And what has Russian President Vladimir Putin said about Brexit?
Absolutely nothing. The Kremlin has been keeping silent on the matter.
That has not prevented Russia from being sucked into the Brexit debate. Prime Minister David Cameron said recently that Mr Putin "might be happy" if Britain left the EU.
UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond was even more direct. "The only country, if the truth is told, that would like us to leave the EU is Russia," he said. "And that should probably tell us all that we need to know."
Assertions like that leave Russian officials rolling their eyes.
"Russia is blamed for everything," Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova told me. "Not only in the UK but all over the world.
"We're watching, for example, the presidential campaign in the United States and we're also mentioned there. So it's not surprising for us. But Russia has nothing to do with Brexit at all. We're not involved in this process. We have no interest in this field."
Russia is, indeed, "not involved": after all, it's not Russian voters who will decide whether the UK is in or out of the EU.
But "no interests in this field"? That is debatable.
"If there's a Brexit, if there's a crisis in the European Union, this will be a local propaganda victory," claims Prof Sergei Medvedev from Moscow's Higher School of Economics. He believes the Kremlin's calculation is a simple one: Brexit = a weaker EU = a stronger Russia.
"Moscow sees everything as a zero sum game," Prof Medvedev says.
"So, what's bad for the European Union is good for Russia. It's as simple as that. They don't think further, about the EU being their biggest trading partner, about the question of visa-free travel, that there'll be bigger transaction costs for Russian business. No, they don't think in this way: it's either/or."
As part of this geopolitical "game", Moscow has been cultivating bilateral relations with those EU states it sees as "friendly" to Moscow, such as Greece, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia.
One of the aims is to break the EU's unanimity over sanctions against Russia. Even in those EU countries that have adopted a tougher stance towards Moscow, the Kremlin is seeking friends.
Sanctions were imposed over Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea, and ratcheted up when pro-Russian separatists took over parts of eastern Ukraine.
Earlier this year, Mr Putin hosted the Bavarian leader Horst Seehofer, a fierce critic of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The invitation came across as classic "divide and conquer" tactics.
Some Western governments also accuse the Kremlin of trying to sow discord in the EU by supporting nationalist parties in Europe.
"Russia will not cry very much if the EU will be in deeper decline, but to be honest we don't have to make big efforts," says Fyodor Lukyanov, editor-in-chief of the journal Russia In Global Affairs.
"That's because the European Union is in a very deep conceptual crisis. All anti-European and xenophobic forces are arising not because of support from Moscow. They are because of profound domestic contradictions in the European Union. The fact that any outside rivals or opponents try to use domestic problems in their own interest - that's unfortunately the normal thing for politics."
Aside from sanctions, there is another reason why Russia resents the EU: it sees it as an exclusive club designed to marginalise Russia.
Earlier this year I attended a meeting in Moscow between Russian senators and European politicians and policymakers. In his speech, the head of the foreign affairs committee of the upper house of parliament, Konstantin Kosachev, claimed that the EU and Nato had broken the 1990 Paris Charter, which formalised the end of the Cold War.
"This document referred to three international organisations that would define the future of Europe and the world - the UN, the OSCE [Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe] and the Council of Europe," Mr Kosachev said. "You won't find a single mention of Nato. And the EU is mentioned only once in the economy/trade section.
"It was envisaged that Europe's future would be decided by national governments. But Nato and the EU had no intention of building a Europe of equals."
Mr Kosachev failed to mention that a year after the Paris Charter, the Soviet Union fell apart and the face of Europe changed. The European Union itself was only established in 1993, when it replaced the European Economic Community (EEC). And when EU-Russian relations were enjoying warmer times, Moscow rarely accused Brussels of violating the Paris Charter.
Even if Brexit were to weaken the EU, Moscow knows it still needs a relationship with Brussels.
"Even a weakened European Union is still a union," says Fyodor Lukyanov. "For Russia it would be easier to deal with individual countries, especially the big countries of the EU. But I don't think anyone in Moscow thinks this is possible."

Davis will return to action in the team event on Friday.
The Barnet-born fencer relocated to San Francisco, United States in November of last year in order to train with some of the world's best fencers and increase his prospects of success at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Trailing 10-6 midway through the final, Davis was instructed to change his kit as it had become too moist - which was affecting conductivity and thus impacting his opponent's ability to score.
However, he returned re-focused and powered to victory against seven-time European medallist Cheremisinov.
"I am so happy," Davis tweeted. "Big thanks to all those who have wielded with me!!!

Lots of people have complained after racking up huge bills for including things like smiley faces in their texts.
The problem has been affecting people using older models of some mobile phones. When emoticons were used in a text message on those devices, some phones converted them into MMS (Multi-media service) messages which can cost up to 40p per message.
A woman in Scotland was recently charged £1000 for her phone bill, after using emoticons in her texts.
The mobile phone company O2 recommended that people don't use emoticons in text messages to make sure they avoid extra charges.
Experts say mobile phone operators need to be clearer about MMS charges and are advising that people check their bills regularly and use free-messaging services instead, if they want to use emoticons.
He was speaking on the eve of a debate in the German parliament on the issue.
The Armenian Church earlier canonised 1.5 million Armenians it says were killed in massacres and deportations by Ottoman Turks during World War One.
Turkey disputes the term "genocide", arguing that there were many deaths on both sides during the conflict.
On Friday commemorations will mark the 100th anniversary of the killings.
Speaking at a church service in Berlin, President Gauck said: "The fate of the Armenians stands as exemplary in the history of mass exterminations, ethnic cleansing, deportations and yes, genocide, which marked the 20th Century in such a terrible way."
Mr Gauck, who holds a largely ceremonial role, added that Germans also bore some responsibility "and in some cases complicity" concerning the "genocide of the Armenians". Germany was an ally of the Ottoman Empire during World War One.
His comments come as the German parliament, the Bundestag, prepares to debate a motion on the 1915 massacres.
But instead of a clear statement of condemnation, politicians will discuss an opaque, tortuously-worded sentence, which aims to be unclear enough to keep everyone happy - with the sort of convoluted phrasing that the German language is so good at, the BBC's Damien McGuinness in Berlin reports.
Germany joins Armenia genocide debate
Earlier on Thursday, the Armenian Church said the aim of the canonisation ceremony near the capital Yerevan was to proclaim the martyrdom of those killed for their faith and homeland.
After the ceremony, bells tolled in Armenian churches around the world.
The beatification at the Echmiadzin Cathedral did not give the specific number of victims or their names.
It is the first time in 400 years that the Armenian Church has used the rite of canonisation.
The use of the word "genocide" to describe the killings is controversial. Pope Francis was rebuked recently by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for describing it as the "first genocide of the 20th Century".
On Friday, a memorial service will be held in Turkey and its prime minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, has said the country will "share the pain" of Armenians.
However, he reiterated Turkey's stance that the killings were not genocide.
"To reduce everything to a single word, to put responsibility through generalisations on the Turkish nation alone... is legally and morally problematic," he said.
Mr Davutoglu did acknowledge the deportations, saying: "We once again respectfully remember and share the pain of grandchildren and children of Ottoman Armenians who lost their lives during deportation in 1915."
Hundreds of thousands of Armenians died in 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, whose empire was disintegrating.
Many of the victims were civilians deported to barren desert regions where they died of starvation and thirst. Thousands also died in massacres.
Armenia says up to 1.5 million people were killed. Turkey says the number of deaths was much smaller.
Most non-Turkish scholars of the events regard them as genocide - as do more than 20 states, including France, Germany, Canada and Russia, and various international bodies including the European Parliament.
Turkey rejects the term genocide, maintaining that many of the dead were killed in clashes during World War One, and that many ethnic Turks also suffered in the conflict.
The couple went public with their relationship last June after they were seen on holiday together in Italy.

Chris Roberts has that much to spend and he is using it to build a universe.
Mr Roberts is not entirely free to use the cash as he wishes because the money has come to him from crowdfunding site Kickstarter and through the Roberts Space Industries website.
"I'm completely shocked by how much we have raised and how well we have done," said Mr Roberts. "I would never have guessed it was possible."
The reason that people have given him so much cash is because of his track record in making space games. Mr Roberts was the driving creative force behind the massively popular Wing Commander series of games. These let people play a part in the star-spanning conflict between humans and the cat-like Kilrathi.
The money is being spent on another space game called Star Citizen set in a 30th century virtual universe. Players will pilot their ships around this persistent online universe engaging in dogfights as they trade and explore. Alongside this, and in the same universe will go a more episodic game, called Squadron 42, that can be played by individuals or groups.
Star Citizen debuted on Kickstarter in late 2012 seeking just $500,000 (£300,000). When its funding period closed it had raised more than $2m from 34,000 people.
A year or so on and the funding drive has continued via the game's dedicated website and the total is closing in on $40m. The number of people who have signed up or put down cash has hit 300,000.
Mr Roberts believes that at least part of the reason so many have backed Star Citizen is because there have been so few big space-based games in the last decade or so.
In more recent times, the steady success of Eve Online showed there was an appetite for some kind of space trading and combat game. However, said Mr Roberts, Star Citizen would offer more "visceral" thrills than the somewhat intellectual Eve Online - a game that sometimes seems to reward skill with a spreadsheet more than it does a blaster.
Competition for space sim fans will come, however, from Eve Valkyrie - a new game set in the Eve universe but which puts players in the cockpit of a spaceship and gives them the chance to let loose with missiles and lasers against other people.
Perhaps a bigger threat is another space-based game that also raised lots of money via Kickstarter - Elite Dangerous.
That too has an industry veteran at its helm, British gaming veteran David Braben, and will let players fight, trade and explore in an online universe.
"The competition is healthy," said Mr Roberts. "Just like in in the old days when Lucas Arts had their X-Wing and Tie Fighter games.
"I feel like there have not been enough space games and I'm happy to have more," he said, adding that he had backed Elite on Kickstarter and was looking forward to playing it.
Before the game can be launched against its competitors, it has to be developed and, said Mr Roberts, creating a game set in a sizeable chunk of the universe, even a digital one, was always going to take a lot of money.
"It's not one of those games you can make for two, three or even four million," said Mr Roberts. "Originally, I didn't think I would be able to do everything I wanted to."
The basic plan was to raise a few million on Kickstarter and then turn to investors to build up a total development fund of $12-$14m. That cash would be used to fund the alpha or test version which would help raise more money to flesh out the full vision - which Mr Roberts estimated had a price tag of about $20m.
However, he said, getting all the cash almost upfront means no alpha and no investors. Instead he's been able to set out a plan to get the whole thing done right from the start and recruit heavily so development of different parts of Star Citizen proceed in parallel. The extra cash means it will get more ships, more star systems and missions set on planets.
One element of the game has already been released - the hangar module that lets players look around the ship or ships they have bought and in which they will fly in Star Citizen. One of the next modules is the dog-fighting system that players will test before the final release in 2015.
But what the pledged funds have not done is change the fundamental direction of the game, he said.
Star Citizen might have 300,000 people interested but that does not mean that Mr Roberts has 300,000 bosses who want him to make the game for them.
While it is good to hear from the backers, they are not going to be able to radically change the game.
"The way we look at the crowd is that it's a huge resource for talking the game over with 300,000 people instead of just a small team," he said. "If something they say resonates with us then we should respond to it, but if it does not then we just don't do it."
"But," he said, "it's definitely good to get that feedback early on in this process."
He added: "We could spend an eternity building this game but we have to make decisions about what we focus on and having the crowd involved really helps us with that process."
And, he said, that large crowd had bought in to the project because of his involvement.
"I think, in general, a lot of people are backing this because of my past games," he said, adding that they are going to get a recognisably Chris Roberts game.
"I get pretty focused when I have an idea in my head," he said. "It's not like I'm easily swayed."
Mr Benn's impassioned appeal to Labour MPs to vote with the government was an "excellent" piece of oratory, said Mr McDonnell.
But he added: "The greatest oratory can lead us to the greatest mistakes."
Mr McDonnell denied Labour was split and leader Jeremy Corbyn weakened by his defeat in Wednesday night's vote.
He said Mr Corbyn's decision to give MPs a free vote - rather than forcing them to back his position - was a "breakthrough for our politics in this country" as it had taken the issue of war "out of the political arena".
Shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn, son of Mr Corbyn's political mentor Tony Benn, made a direct appeal to Labour MPs to support air strikes to combat the "fascists" of so-called Islamic State.
His speech was greeted with applause by Conservative MPs and some on the Labour benches - but Mr Corbyn, who had earlier made a speech of his own saying David Cameron's case for war "did not stack up", sat in silence.
Mr McDonnell, one of Mr Corbyn's closest allies, who also opposed air strikes, said Mr Benn's speech was typical of the high standard of Commons speeches on both sides during the debate.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "His oratory was great. He reminded me of Tony Blair's speech taking us into the Iraq war and I am always anxious that the greatest oratory can lead us to the greatest mistakes as well."
He dismissed the 66 Labour MPs who voted with the government as a "small minority" and said Mr Corbyn had the backing of the majority of Labour members, the party's national executive and the shadow cabinet.
He also condemned the abuse directed at Labour MPs who backed military action.
"We have said if they are Labour Party members we have disciplinary processes and they will take place. We cannot have intimidation in our party," he told Today.
Shadow Commons leader Chris Bryant said some of the abuse directed at MPs over the Syria vote had been "beyond the pale" and called for a review of the security arrangements for MPs' homes and offices.
He said it was a "fundamental principle" that MPs should be free to speak and vote "without fear or favour" or intimidation.
Commons Leader Chris Grayling said MPs' security arrangements "is and will be continuing as a priority" for the Commons' authorities.
Some Labour MPs claim to have been sent pictures of dead babies by anti-war protesters and others have been branded warmongers and "red Tories".
Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy, whose office was the target of anti-war protests, complained of intimidation while considering how to vote in Wednesday's debate.
Mr McDonnell denied claims there were efforts to deselect Ms Creasy, saying: "There is no way she should be de-selected, she is an excellent MP, she has my support."
Campaign group Stop the War, which until recently was chaired by Mr Corbyn, hit back at claims its supporters were bullying Labour MPs on social media, and said it would continue to support the Labour leader "in every way that we can".
In a joint statement, Stop the War chairman Andrew Murray and Convenor Lindsey German said: "Stop the War condemns the whining complaints from those MPs who apparently do not like being lobbied.
"If an MP is not robust enough to withstand emails and tweets, they should really not be voting for bombing other people - those who wish to be alone with their consciences would do better to consider a life of religious contemplation.
"Stop the War will continue to hold to democratic account all those MPs who vote for war."
Former London mayor Ken Livingstone, who is co-chairing Labour's defence review, has meanwhile suggested there might be "a few" de-selections of sitting Labour MPs.
He told LBC radio: "If I had an MP who had voted to bomb Syria then I would be prepared to support someone challenge him as long as they were good on a load of other issues."
Mr Livingstone said the 2020 intake of Labour MPs would be "massively" pro Corbyn.
The 20-year-old left Queen's Park for Dundee United in 2013, before signing for Hull City and scoring his first Scotland goal just over a year later.
"Did we see that happening? Never in a million years," said David McCallum, head of youth development at Queen's Park.
"Andy would be honest with you and say the very same thing."
Robertson has gathered five Scotland caps, hitting the back of the net on his most recent outing - a 3-1 defeat to England in November.
And that was three months after moving from Dundee United to Premier League side Hull City for £2.85m, where he is already a first-team regular and is receiving high praise from manager Steve Bruce.
"You can see why he's got there, there's no question about that," said McCallum.
"But there's also no question that you could write a book about it. The fact is, if somebody goes to that level in such a short period of time, it is a fairy-tale story."
Robertson, from the south side of Glasgow, joined Scottish League Two amateurs Queen's Park after being released by Celtic.
And McCallum stressed that there were no immediately obvious signs that the left-back would flourish in the game.
"Truth be told, when he came in, we had two under-17 squads and there was the perception that one squad was the better squad and one was the second squad.
"Andrew was in the second squad mainly due to his physical development, not because of talent.
"He played with his head up. He asked questions to make sure he was doing the right thing. If he was given information he wasn't sure about, he would come back and get reassurance - that's something that's important with a young player."
In the summer of 2012, Robertson seized his chance to fill the left-back berth previously occupied by Barry Douglas and Daryll Meggatt.
"In our system, Andrew was the next prospect," said McCallum, one of several Queen's Park coaches to help the youngster develop.
"He was taken to a first-team pre-season gathering and simply didn't look back. It got to a point where Gardner Speirs [manager] couldn't leave him out.
"I'm not sure he was taken to Dundee United to be a first choice right away, but Jackie McNamara couldn't leave him out - and now again at Hull.
"It's alright having the ability and the talent and the work ethic, but the fact that he's got his mind round each challenge is huge, especially in the modern game."
McCallum has been in his current role at Queen's Park for four years, before which he was assistant manager to Billy Stark at Hampden.
The former Motherwell, Partick Thistle and Stirling Albion player believes it is "vital" that young players are willing to make sacrifices off the field in order to progress on it.
"In Andrew's case, we like to think we've educated him in a football and a lifestyle sense," said the 37-year-old.
"He comes from a good family as well - his parents are terrific people and very level-headed.
"He's still in touch with a lot of his former team-mates at the club here as well, so having those bonds and relationships have been good for keeping his feet on the ground and making sure he lives his life properly.
"He's such a high profile now that he has to, because if he doesn't he's an easy target for it to be picked up on.
"He's living a dream at the moment and he's living it well."
A White House official said the infrastructure panel, which was still being formed, would not go ahead.
The decision comes after two other White House business councils were dissolved on Wednesday amid an exodus of chief executives.
Business leaders quit over Mr Trump's handling of violent clashes in Virginia involving white supremacists.
Bloomberg, CNBC and political newspaper The Hill reported that the president's planned Advisory Council on Infrastructure "would not move forward".
Mr Trump's reaction to last weekend's clashes at a far-right rally - which left one woman dead and nearly 20 people wounded - has sparked outrage and generated global headlines.
On Monday, Mr Trump belatedly condemned the white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups that rallied in a small Virginia town on Sunday.
But in a rancorous news conference on Tuesday he backtracked and again blamed left-wing counter-protesters for the violence too.
That prompted business leaders to quit his manufacturing and policy councils, and drew criticism from the bosses of other large US firms including Apple and JP Morgan.
Mr Trump signed an executive order last month establishing the Advisory Council on Infrastructure.
At the start of the year he said he was planning the council and named two well known New York property developers to lead the group.
Representatives for Steve Roth of Vornado Realty Trust and Richard LeFrak of LeFrak, whom Mr Trump named last winter, could not be reached immediately. | The coach of Scottish Olympian Kirsty Gilmour, named in Great Britain's team for Rio, says it's "ridiculous" he can't accompany her to the Games.

The US trials involving 16 volunteers found they made 30% fewer mistakes in memory tests after the procedure.
Scientists are now investigating whether the technique could help people with memory disorders and reduce memory loss in later life.
Independent researchers describe the method as "ingenious".
Researchers at Northwestern University in the US targeted a particular nerve hub known as the hippocampus.
This area of the brain has a central role in basic memory processes that tie unrelated facts together - such as remembering someone's name or the contents of last night's dinner.
Scientists pinpointed this region in each of their 16 volunteers using detailed scans and then assessed their baseline memory.
Participants were presented with pictures of faces while hearing unrelated words and asked to learn and remember the face-word pair.
A device was then used to apply short bursts of electromagnetic stimulation to the area of the head directly above the hippocampus hub.
The sessions lasted 20 minutes a day for five consecutive days.
Volunteers scored significantly better on similar memory tests after this procedure - even 24 hours after sessions were completed.
The study revealed they made 30% fewer mistakes at this point, compared with scores before they had the procedure.
And they showed no signs of improvement when exposed to a dummy, placebo version of the device.
Prof Joel Voss, who led the study, said: "We show for the first time that you can specifically change memory functions of the brain in adults without surgery or drugs, which have not proven effective."
He added: "This non-invasive stimulation improves the ability to learn new things.
"It has tremendous potential for treating memory disorders."
Researchers are now investigating how memory changes in older age, and hope to start trials on people with early signs of dementia.
Dr Nick Davis, who was not involved in the study, said: "The method used to stimulate the hippocampus is quite ingenious. It is very smart work.
"The work is exciting as most of our knowledge about memory circuits comes from animal studies or people with memory impairments."
Scientists say the device works by emitting a strong electromagnetic field in rapid pulses.
This then generates an electrical current in nerve fibres - mimicking the usual electrical activity in the brain. | Exciting a specific part of the brain with electromagnetic pulses could boost our ability to remember certain facts, a study in Science suggests. | 28,972,425 | 475 | 30 | false |
The show examines the work of William Billingsley, founder of the Nantgarw China Works and a known perfectionist.
The bicentenary exhibition features rare examples of the works' output, alongside items created by some of Wales' foremost contemporary potters.
Billingsley fled Wales in 1820, pursued by creditors.
But his work is still regarded as some of the finest ceramics ever produced - a single piece can fetch tens of thousands of pounds at auction.
One of the reasons is the rarity of Nantgarw chinaware - the artist was regarded as a complete perfectionist, rejecting 90% of everything he ever made.
His pieces were deemed so exquisite that fearful Staffordshire potteries ganged up in an attempt to put Nantgarw out of business.
Founded in 1813 on the banks of the Glamorgan Canal, it was also claimed that the clay formula Billingsley used was stolen from Royal Worcester.
But in just seven years, despite being regarded as the finest ceramicist in Britain, Billingsley had racked up crippling debts and quit the Nantgarw works.
"Nantgarw China Works is such a thrilling story that it really should be made into a film," enthused Lowri Davies, who has organised the exhibition.
Her own Billingsley-inspired collection featured at the Sculpture Objects and Functional Art exhibition in Chicago, USA.
"It's the tale of a man so driven to perfect his art that nothing else mattered," she added.
"He was a hopeless businessman who was always in some scrape or other, constantly being sued and pursued by creditors, but as long as his pieces were the best the world had ever seen then he didn't care about little things like intellectual property or even making money.
"And his work was brilliant - exquisite wet paste china and instantly recognisable, breathtaking floral artwork."
After Billingsley left Wales in 1820, his business partner William Western-Young managed to stave off formal bankruptcy by selling Billingsley's remaining work, which had acquired an increased value following news of the demise of Nantgarw China Works.
Western-Young kept the factory open, but without Billingsley's expertise they were reduced to manufacturing clay smoking pipes and rough earthenware pots and jugs.
This proved to be infinitely more profitable, and the works went on to survive until 1920, when the switch away from pipes to cigarettes was the death knell for the business.
But despite a hundred years of pipe manufacturing, according to Lowri Davies it will always be their fine china for which Nantgarw China Works will be best remembered.
"In some ways it's a tragedy that Nantgarw China lasted such a short time, but then again, if it had gone on for decades or even centuries, then would we be talking about it today?"
The china works near Caerphilly lay derelict for decades until it was acquired by the former Taff-Ely council in the 1980s and was turned into a museum.
Earlier this year Rhondda Cynon Taf council handed over the museum to the Friends of Nantgarw China Works Trust, who are now undertaking an extensive restoration of the original studios and kilns.
Amongst others, the exhibition at the works museum features craftwork from Caitlin Jenkins, of Ewenny Pottery, and Geoff Swindell of Dinas Powys, whose creations are included in the collections of some 40 museums including the Victoria & Albert in London.
The exhibition runs at the museum until 12 January, 2014.
The 45-year-old will work with police, businesses and the public to create a vision for the city's nightlife.
Ms Lame said she intended to "inspire a positive change in the way people think about the night-time economy".
The Conservatives at London Assembly said the post may be "less about the economy and more about ribbon cutting".
London's late-night industry is worth £26.3bn annually but research suggests this could rise to £28.3bn by 2029.
The broadcaster promoted Camden's live music venues and nightclubs as mayoress of Camden in 2010 and is known for campaigning to save renowned LGBT venue the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.
The former BBC Radio London co-presenter also co-founded and hosts the Olivier award-winning comedy theatre Duckie at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern and was chosen to the new post from 200 candidates.
Ms Lame said she would hold monthly surgeries to speak to businesses, police, councils, night-time workers and Londoners to create a safer and more responsible nightlife.
She said: "For too long, the capital's night-time industry has been under pressure - music venues and nightclubs in particular are closing at an alarming rate."
Fabric nightclub, one of the UK's best-known clubs, lost its licence and shut down over what Islington Council said was a "culture of drugs".
In response to the closure, Mayor Sadiq Khan claimed the capital had lost 50% of its nightclubs and 40% of its live music venues in the past eight years.
Mr Khan said: "The recent closure of the world-famous nightclub Fabric and the threats facing other venues across the capital show why Amy will be a much-needed ambassador for the city after dark."
Gareth Bacon, Conservative London Assembly member, said appointing a "celebrity over someone with more experience running a business in the night-time economy is a decision the Assembly will need to seriously scrutinise".
Three of Cheshire's four councils submitted a bid for more powers and funding from government last August.
Conservative MP for Warrington South David Mowat said a mayor would ensure "clear, democratic accountability".
But Helen Jones, Labour MP for Warrington North, argued the plans were a Conservative "stitch-up".
"In terms of Warrington, this is not real devolution at all because what it will do is, very likely, give a Tory power over areas that overwhelmingly vote Labour."
Devolution deals with elected mayors have already been agreed for regions across England including Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region.
The councils in Warrington, Cheshire East, and Cheshire West and Chester claimed in 2015 that their devolution bid would help create 112,000 jobs, improve transport and boost business.
It is believed an election could take place next year.
The Labour leader of Warrington Borough Council, Terry O'Neill, claimed the mayor would be "just a figurehead" who would have responsibility over devolved powers funding and powers, but the three local authorities "would have a veto over the mayor's decisions".
Mr O'Neill added: "From the government's point of view, there has to be a mayor."
A Parliamentary debate on the issue will take place next week.
Chancellor George Osborne, who is MP for Tatton, said: "I'm in favour of elected mayors but don't want to impose them. So I'm happy to listen to what local elected councils want."
A joint statement from Warrington, Cheshire East and Cheshire West & Chester councils said "no decisions have been made" and a public consultation would be held before any deal was confirmed.
The School Teachers' Review Body (STRB) has recommended a 1% pay rise for most teachers, in line with public sector pay increases.
But there is no increase at the top levels, so some heads will miss out.
A Conservative spokesman said it was right that the higher paid took "more of the burden of pay restraint".
The ASCL says it wants the decision overturned.
The union says that in real terms teachers' pay has declined by 12% since 2010.
It says that by recommending no pay rise for very senior leaders, the STRB is in effect implementing a "pay freeze".
Although the STRB recommended a salary rise of up to 2% for some classroom teachers in the main pay band, it will be up to individual schools to award this based on their teachers' performance.
It adds that school governors could also decide to spend some of their budget on higher pay for senior leaders.
The report says: "As a consequence of recent reforms, governing bodies have considerable flexibility in setting salaries above the maximum of the relevant head teacher pay group, if merited."
Brian Lightman, general secretary of ASCL, described the "pay freeze" as "ill-conceived", saying: "Although the monetary value is small, the message that it sends is that the contribution that some staff make is not valued.
"As many of them may be nearing retirement, there is a risk they will decide not to continue in the profession, thereby further exacerbating the retention problems in the leadership group."
He said "a cost-of-living increase" was needed by all teachers at every level.
Teachers received a 1% pay rise last year in line with the two-year pay cap across the public sector, introduced in 2012. The 1% cap is to be extended to 2015-16.
A Conservative spokesman said he agreed with the recommendations from the STRB and the government had reformed pay and conditions to give schools greater freedoms in recruiting and rewarding teachers.
"Our pay reforms provide schools with more control over the management of their budgets and allow them to meet their school and community's needs more effectively," he said.
The Liberal Democrats say they will guarantee public sector pay increases by "at least" the rate of inflation up to 2018 and after that make sure pay bodies award "above inflation increase" in public sector pay.

"In the Indian constitution everyone is equal under the law, and so the president felt the protocols needed a fresh look," Mr Rajamony said.
"This was a routine review and reform of the protocols by the new president," he added.
Mr Mukherjee has also asked his office to organise all his functions within the Rashtrapati Bhavan [Presidential Palace] to avoid the "inconvenience caused to the public during his movement within the city and in order to reduce the burden on police and other agencies", a statement on the president's website said.
Dorset County Museum will be the first place to host Dippy the Diplodocus when it temporarily moves out of its London home.
The capital's Natural History Museum is having a big front-of-house makeover.
A blue whale skeleton is being put in the dinosaur's prominent position by the main entrance - and so Dippy is going on the road.
The plaster-of-Paris model - so loved by generations of visitors - will be on show in London for the last time on 4 January.
Conservators will then spend the next 12 months getting it ready for its trip around the UK.
This will involve re-making some parts and giving it a new, modular support structure, or armature, to facilitate frequent packing and unpacking.
After Dorset, 21m-long Dippy will visit Birmingham Museum; Ulster Museum; Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow; Great North Museum, Newcastle; the National Assembly for Wales; Number One Riverside, Rochdale; and Norwich Cathedral.
At each location, the dinosaur will be used as the centrepiece of a display that will highlight local natural history and nature collections. The tour will end in late 2020.
Director of the Dorset County Museum, Dr Jon Murden, said: "We are so excited to be welcoming Dippy on Tour here in 2018 at the heart of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. As the birthplace of palaeontology, there is nowhere in the UK more appropriate for Dippy to start the tour than Dorset."
Specialists are already deep into the task of preparing the blue whale ready for its new role.
It is due to be suspended in a dramatic diving pose from the ceiling of the NHM's Hintze Hall. The grand opening will be next summer.
The bones were recently removed from their old display position in the mammals gallery and taken into a laboratory.
"There was an amazing carpet of dust on the whale's bones," said Lorraine Cornish, the head of conservation at the NHM.
"In many ways it was very beautiful - like a Mars or a Moon surface. And so the first thing we had to do was clean all that away using vacuum cleaners, to see the surface more clearly, to check if there were cracks or issues we hadn't spotted before," she told BBC News.
The near-4.5-tonne whale specimen is more than 100 years old, and - unlike Dippy - is the real deal; it is not a cast.
It was acquired for the NHM shortly after the institution opened in 1881.
The animal had beached at Wexford on the southeast coast of Ireland, and London's curators paid £250 for the carcass. Nearly every bone is present, and they still leach oil.
The workmen who first put the whale on public display in 1935 probably thought it would never be taken out of its gallery. This might explain why it was shot through with long iron rods and cables.
Some of the alterations made to accommodate this scaffolding are really quite brutal.
"They just drilled very big holes and put very large bolts in the bones, and very large pieces of wire cabling. As conservators, we'd not now drill a hole in a specimen," said Lorraine Cornish.
"It's scientific data for us; it's one of our collection items. Wherever possible we'll re-use some of those holes but we'll add additional armature to the outside to make sure the whale is protected when it suspends above the public."
The museum team made a quick lidar scan of the bones before moving them to the lab, to help understand how they fit together and to begin designing the new display pose.
A more comprehensive, 3D mapping exercise will be conducted in the next few weeks, however.
This is key to the NHM's big digitisation strategy, which seeks to make virtual copies of 20 million of its more than 80 million specimens over the next five years.
It will allow researchers to more easily study the London collection. It would even make it possible for someone to "print" their own blue whale skeleton.
The NHM wants the cetacean to be a new kind of emblem.
The museum expects the skeleton's display in Hintze Hall to increase the wow factor for visitors.
It also hopes the whale can convey better all the cutting-edge science it does on a daily basis.
But for fans of Dippy, the NHM is keen to stress the dinosaur will not be sidelined.
Indeed, on its return to London the Diplodocus is likely still to enjoy star billing.
The museum plans to renovate and re-model the gardens that surround its buildings.
Dippy is set to be re-cast in bronze and be the first thing visitors see as they approach the institution from South Kensington tube station.
"In many ways, Dippy and the whale are tied together; I feel passionately about both of them," said Lorraine Cornish.
"They do different things but they are both part of our strategy to get people interested and excited about science, the natural world and the challenges we face."
BBC TV's Horizon programme is following the whale's preparation for its re-suspension in the NHM's front entrance. The episode will be broadcast next year around the time of the public unveiling.

Safety tests on three people, published in the journal Science, showed the immune system could be trained to fight skin cancers.
The American team say the early results mark a "significant step" towards personalised cancer vaccines.
The charity Cancer Research UK called the tests an "exciting but very early-stage trial".
UV light can transform healthy skin cells into deadly melanomas by damaging the DNA.
The tumours are a genetic mess, containing hundreds of random mutations that are different in every patient.
The mutations can change the proteins that stick out from the surface of cells and act like identifying flags.
The team, mainly based in St Louis and Oklahoma City, analysed the genetic mutations to predict the new and unique flags that would be flown by the cancer cells.
A computer algorithm then analysed the new flags, known as neoantigens, to decide which would be the best targets for a vaccine.
Personalised vaccines were given to three patients with advanced tumours in 2013. All had already been treated with another therapy - ipilimumab.
One was in remission and has stayed cancer-free; another still has stable tumours; and the third patient's tumour shrank in the months after the vaccine before returning to its original size and remaining stable.
The team are, at this stage, testing just the safety of the vaccine and whether it provokes an immune response.
They say it was successful on both counts.
One of the researchers, Dr Gerald Linette, said: "Our team is very encouraged by the quality of the immune response directed against the melanoma neoantigens in all three patients.
"Our results are preliminary, but we think the vaccines have therapeutic potential."
His colleague, Dr Beatriz Carreno, added: "These findings represent a significant step toward more personalised immunotherapies."
The personalised vaccine approach has a number of hurdles to clear.
For a start, proper clinical trials are needed to prove that the immune boost actually makes a difference to controlling the tumour.
There are also questions about cost and the time it takes - currently three months - to develop each person's vaccine.
However, if the approach proves successful it could be useful in other highly mutated cancers such as those found in the lung.
They may also have a role in breast and ovarian cancers in women with BRCA mutations, such as the Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, which also tend to be very mutated.
Dr Alan Worsley, of Cancer Research UK, said: "This exciting but very early-stage trial shows that it may be possible to create vaccines that are tailored to the specific genetic mistakes in a patient's cancer.
"At the moment it's not clear how effective this immunotherapy would be at killing cancer cells in the body and improving survival, but this promising study sets the stage for creating vaccines that are designed to target each patient's individual tumour in the future."
Prof Caroline Springer, who works on new drugs for melanoma at the Institute for Cancer Research, told the BBC News website: "I think it's very interesting.
"It's a very positive results and it's good that it's safe, but it's quite early days.
"Ipilimumab can have long-lasting effects on its own. The vaccine has mounted an immune response but it is difficult to tell if that amounts to an anti-tumour response if it is already responding to ipilimumab."
Thomas Clark was last seen at 10:45 that morning when he was pictured on CCTV leaving Hairmyres Hospital.
Police believe he returned to his home in Kirkton Park at some point before 18:00 on Thursday but that has not been confirmed.
Officers have been conducting door-to-door inquiries since the pensioner was reported missing on Friday.
They have also been talking to local businesses and transport firms.
Mr Clark is about 5ft 6in, of slim build with white hair.
When he was last seen he was wearing a long brown puffer jacket and brown leather shoes.
He also wore a checked grey jumper with blue and green diamonds on the front, a black beanie hat and grey padded gloves with leather palms.
Typical cases will include broken garden fences, dislodged roofing tiles and minor damage to cars hit by debris.
Insurers say they should be able to deal with all the calls fairly easily, as they are used to this type of weather "event".
"Their first priority will be to work as quickly as possible to deal with claims, and help customers recover," said Mark Shepherd, a policy adviser to the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
Should I contact my insurer immediately, or wait for a couple of days?
Insurers advise that you should contact them as soon as possible. Most companies offer a 24 hour emergency helpline. But it is important that serious damage is inspected as soon as possible.
Am I covered for storm damage?
Most household, business and and comprehensive motor policies cover both flood and storm damage. If damage is serious, and you need to move out of your home temporarily, most policies will cover the cost up to a specified limit. Typically you can spend up to 20% of the total insured value to cover alternative accommodation and heating costs.
Can I arrange for repair work to be done immediately?
If work needs to be done to stop further damage occurring, you can go ahead and get the repair work done. But keep receipts. Photos are also a good idea.
Who will assess the damage?
If the damage is serious enough, your insurance company will appoint a loss adjuster. He or she is independent of the insurance company, but paid by it. A loss adjuster should contact you within 24 hours, and visit your home within three days. But bear in mind that many loss adjusters will be extremely busy for the next few weeks. The loss adjuster will give you a timetable for the repair work, and tell you who will be doing it.
Should I appoint my own loss adjuster?
If you decide to appoint your own, you will have to cover the costs yourself. The insurance company will not pay. So be certain to ask for their charges before you hire them. And remember that the insurer's own loss adjuster may have a different opinion to yours.
If a roof tile comes off, and causes damage to somebody else's property, am I covered?
Most buildings insurance policies contain liability cover, up to a certain amount. Individuals are advised to contact their insurance company for further advice.
Will insurance premiums go up as a result of this storm?
Insurance companies say they are not expecting premiums to go up "across the board" as a result of the St Jude storm. But anyone making a claim may lose their no claims discount next year, and so may have to pay a higher charge.
How much will this storm cost insurance companies?
It is still too early to say. The great storm of October 1987 cost insurance companies £2bn in today's money. But floods in the summer of 2007 cost more than that: £3bn.
The Frenchman was one of the team who first spotted the rings in 1984, naming them Equality, Fraternity and Liberty after the motto of the French Republic.
In a tribute, French President Francois Hollande said Brahic had known "how to easily explain the mysteries of space".
Brahic, who was 73, was seen as a key figure in increasing public awareness of research into space.
He once said science "could make the eyes of small children light up".
"He was a brilliant character: extraordinarily warm, profound and authentic, a great scholar and also a storyteller, a writer," his publisher and friend Odile Jacob said.
His discovery of Neptune's rings, along with American astronomer William Hubbard, followed on from his interest in the rings of Saturn.
In his work with the Commission for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies in Paris and as a professor at the University of Paris, he helped carry out research into the solar system through Nasa and European unmanned missions.
A minor planet numbered 3488 was named Brahic in tribute to his work.
Froome, bidding to become the first man in 38 years to win the Tour and Vuelta in the same season, finished fourth on the climb to Mirador de Ezaro.
He is 11 seconds behind overall leader Ruben Fernandez, who came second.
France's Alexandre Geniez claimed his second career Grand Tour stage win, with Alejandro Valverde third.
"It's been a difficult season after a crash in Italy and I'm extremely happy for this moment," said FDJ rider Geniez.
Fernandez's fellow Spaniard and Movistar team-mate Valverde is second overall, four seconds ahead of Froome in third.
"I'm delighted to wear the red jersey. I did not expect to wear it today," said 25-year-old Fernandez.

Team Sky's Froome, 31, had displayed his remarkable climbing abilities in his third Tour victory this summer, and he put those skills to good use on the finale of the 176.4km route from Marin.
Froome eked out time on rivals Nairo Quintana and Alberto Contador on the short, but steep, 1.7km climb to the finish line.
Movistar's Quintana lost six seconds on Froome, with seven-time Grand Tour winner Contador another 22 seconds further back.
The Vuelta is the third Grand Tour on the cycling calendar after the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.
Spaniard Contador was the last man to win more than one in a season - claiming the Giro and Vuelta in 2008.

Flower was shown a red card after two minutes, having knocked Hohaia to the floor before landing a second punch while the Saints man was on the ground.
Hohaia played no further part as Saints went on to win 14-6 at Old Trafford.
"I don't hold any grudges against Ben," said New Zealander Hohaia, 31.
"In the heat of the moment, people do some things they regret. I've done some silly things on the field myself.
"He's probably disappointed in himself for not being able to play a part in the game as well."
In a statement on Wigan's website, Flower, 26, said he was "devastated" by what he had done.
"I firstly offer my apologies to Lance. I have full respect for him, and have never gone onto a rugby field to injure a fellow player.
"I'd also like to say sorry to my team-mates, our fans and the Wigan Club. I know I've let them down like never before and accept I'll have to live with this for the rest of my career.
"Finally, I'm sorry to the sport of Rugby League. It was a big night and I know I've taken the attention away from what was a special event."
Hohaia was unable to return to the field because of concussion and will have scans this week before hopefully being cleared to fly out with his family for a holiday.
"I wanted to go back on but the doctor wouldn't allow that to happen," added Hohaia. "My health comes before anything else.
"I don't remember the incident. People have told me what happened, I guess I was hit around the head somewhere. Sometimes these things happen in the game."
Wigan coach Shaun Wane said he "will stand by" his player for an incident that attracted wide condemnation.
A Rugby Football League spokesman said it would be up to Hohaia and St Helens to decide whether to pursue legal action but the case would go as normal before the match review panel on Monday.
Flower is set to face a disciplinary tribunal on Tuesday when he can expect a suspension of about eight matches.
RFL chief executive Nigel Wood said: "The matter will be dealt with as with any other Super League fixture."
A statement said it had begun talks to sell "a portion of its ownership". Once a deal is done, Nintendo will no longer be the team's principal owner.
It has struggled to repair its finances in the face of competition from mobile gaming. On Wednesday it released a 60% net profit drop for the past year.
Nintendo took over the team in 1992 when it was at risk of being relocated.
The president at the time, Hiroshi Yamauchi, then pushed the investment so it could become the principal owner of the Mariners. Since then, the baseball team has had several star Japanese players including Ichiro Suzuki and Hisashi Iwakuma.
Nintendo's ownership also helped boost the team's popularity among Japanese baseball fans.
Profits from the planned Seattle Mariners sale were not reflected in Wednesday's weak financial forecasts and the firm said that they would "adjust the financial forecasts and release them as needed" once a deal was agreed.
The half-back was knocked to the ground and punched by the Wigan player in the 2014 Super League Grand Final.
He played the next year but retired in April 2015, citing "recurrent post-match concussion-type symptoms".
New Zealander Hohaia, 32, says St Helens refused his request for time off and he was urged to take medication to help him continue his career.

"I had tests but, with concussion and brain injuries, there is not an exact science," Hohaia told the New Zealand Herald. "The tests were inconclusive but I needed some time.
"Unfortunately Saints chose not to support me through that time and that hurt me a lot.
"I was offered prescription medicines to help with the headaches. I wasn't comfortable with that, as it was masking a bigger problem.
"I needed a period of time to heal but I wasn't given that choice. The option was, take the medication and play... or walk away."
St Helens strenuously deny Hohaia's claims and threatened legal action against the former Kiwi international.
"Hohaia's version of events at St Helens between the Grand Final in 2014 and his voluntary resignation without notice six months later is utterly inaccurate and malicious," a club statement read.
"Throughout that time he received the highest level of professional support and empathy, both rugby and medical. His subsequent version of ongoing 'concussive symptoms' were entirely retrospective and only raised by him at the end of that period.
"At no time was he put under any pressure or duress by the club to play and he was provided with highest level of professional advice and support by the club. St Helens set the very highest standards in that regard.
"His decision to retire was entirely his and his resignation was without due notice to the club. It was he, and not the club, that later put the matter in the hands of solicitors.
"His assertions were totally without merit or foundation and he then decided not to take the matter further. His retrospective version of events bore little, if any, relation to our detailed professional records.
"We are totally outraged that now, some nine months after his voluntary resignation, he regurgitates his grossly inaccurate and misrepresentative assertions against St Helens in a New Zealand newspaper whilst he is resident in the United States.
"It is particularly despicable that he has publicly so wrongly and maliciously impugned St Helens and its highly professional and caring staff who provided him with support and understanding, and simply because he was clearly not entitled to continue to be paid by the club after he voluntarily resigned.
"Such malicious and public misrepresentation is clearly highly damaging to the highly respected and valuable name and reputation of St Helens and to the reputations of our first rate professional staff. We will review all possible actions open to us and seek due redress from all relevant parties."
Hohaia, now 32, moved to the USA with his American-born wife and two children and will soon start work with a property development company in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
He has been contacted for a response.
The study was carried out by scientists from Queen's University Belfast.
It analysed prescribing data for over 250,000 people, aged 65 years and over, living in NI from 2008 to 2010,
It found that antipsychotic drug dispensing in older people more than doubled when they entered care.
The study found that 8.2% were prescribed the drug before entry to care homes and that rose to 18.6% after entering care.
Lead researcher on the Queen's study, Aideen Maguire, said: "Although drug dispensing is high in older people in the community, we have found that it increases dramatically on entry to care.
"This study showed that the high uptake of psychotropic drugs observed in care homes in Northern Ireland cannot be explained by a continuation of drug use initiated in the community prior to entering care.
"With an ageing population globally it is important that we look at the reasons behind this type of increase following admission to care.
"Antipsychotic uptake in Northern Ireland is similar to that in the rest of the UK and Ireland, and this study highlights the need for routine medicines reviews especially during the transition into care."
Overall, recorded crime in London fell by about 6% with 45,000 fewer reports between 2012-13.
The Met said personal thefts have gone up by 17% on the year before, with 70% involving mobile phones being taken.
Former Met officer Mike Pannett said he was concerned how the crime reduction would continue to improve.
He said: "Although I think it's great news, what I'm going to be looking towards is how that is going to be sustained; that level of reduction going forward over the next two to three years"
The Met said it had taken proactive measures which had led to there being a drop in crime.
It said the launch of the Trident Gang Crime Command to tackle an estimated 250 active criminal gangs in London, using a combination of enforcement and preventative approach, has had its impact.
Offences involving weapons also decreased with knife crime reducing by 20% and gun crime down by 20%.
Recently the unit lost its brief to investigate firearms deaths as the force said it had led to an "unhelpful" situation where murders were distinguished on the basis of the weapon used, when the same offenders could be involved in both knife and gun deaths.
Homicides have remained at a similar level with 106 deaths, compared to 103 last year - the lowest number in over 40 years.
Victim Support said it hoped the 16% rape increase was due to people feeling more confident about reporting it.
Jeff Gartner, from the charity, said: "I think there's been a real effort by the Met to look at the culture there is around the investigation of rape and I hope people are getting more confident and of course people need a good deal of support when they report a rape."
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "London is one of the safest big cities in the world and it's great news that crime rates are continuing to fall.
"This is testament to the sterling work our cops are doing, and we are keeping bobbies on the beat to continue the fight against crime."

Roy Hodgson's side were knocked out of Euro 2012 by Italy on penalties.
"I don't attach any blame to Roy Hodgson," Shearer told BBC Sport. "But I don't go along with the idea England go home with their heads held high.
"It's no good sitting here saying we will win the World Cup in two years' time. The reality is we will not."
"Alan Shearer's outspoken comments about England will strike a chord with those who believe Euro 2012 confirmed that a change of football culture is needed in this country.
"They may not go down well with the players who fought so hard against a vastly-superior Italy before losing in the quarter-final in Kiev, but he is only echoing the thoughts of many."
Hodgson's side were beaten by Italy last Sunday after being outclassed in a goalless draw in Kiev.
England's players won plaudits for an improved performance in Poland and Ukraine, after a disastrous World Cup in South Africa in 2010.
Germany coach Joachim Loew - who masterminded a 4-1 thrashing of Fabio Capello's side two years ago - has praised Hodgson's management, and said that "England will develop under him in the next few years."
But Shearer sees a vast gulf in quality between England and the likes of Spain and Loew's Germany side.
"The big thing people have spoken about is the togetherness and work ethic but if you just want 11 guys to go out and work hard, I can find you 11 men from Newcastle city centre who will work their socks off," he said.
"That has to be a given, whether at a club or even more so for an international team.
"We are a million miles away from the top sides. Heads held high? Do you think France will go home to that reception?
"It's a sign of how far behind we are now that we can go home and say we can hold our heads up high for getting into the quarter finals."
The Football Association recently voted in proposals for youth coaching which include smaller-sided games on smaller pitches with smaller goals.
But Shearer believes any progress on the international stage will need a vast improvement in the coaching culture of the country, which could take years.
He said: "We have got to get out of the habit of going to tournaments thinking we can win it. This tournament has proven that. We need a change in culture and to be fair to the FA they are trying to change things now.
"It's going to take time to put these systems in place. Our league is the best in the world for entertainment but only because it is full of foreigners."
Fellow England international and BBC Sport pundit Lee Dixon also called for changes.
"Let's remind ourselves where we were two years ago under Capello," he said. "We have come on, the team was an absolute shambles. We have repaired that but we haven't moved forwards football-wise.
"If you go and watch how they teach kids to play football on the continent, they are all doing it a different way to us. And we are not progressing, so they must be doing it right.
"It's not rocket science."
Adrian McKernan and his fiancée Megan Rafferty had lived in Australia for three years before moving back to Northern Ireland just before Christmas.
They were preparing to move into their home just outside Portadown when heavy rains caused water levels on Lough Neagh to rise resulting in serious flooding in the area.
As a precaution the couple are staying in their home to ensure it suffers no further flood damage.
"This is day 10 and we haven't had much sleep at all as there are pumps inside of the house because the water is still coming in," Ms Rafferty said.
"There's just so much to control so it's been pretty devastating.
"We've had to pull up all our floorboards we had to take our new kitchen back up the wall.
"We've had Rivers Agency who have been fantastic here around the clock checking all our pumps."
She explained the impact of the flooding on a personal level.
"It's devastating, especially because I didn't actually feel quite ready to leave Australia because we'd made a good life out there as well so coming back here to this happening it's just sort of straining me," she said.
"It's a lot of pressure on me and Adrian, especially when we're planning a wedding as well for next year so we don't know whether we're coming or going.
"We've to ask each other each day what day it is. We can't even start work because this a 24 hour job.
"Adrian's father had to actually take a week off work too to help us."
The couple have been comforted by the support they have received from the local community.
"We've just received a hamper put together by St Vincent De Paul which is fantastic, just a lot of help from the community as well," she said.
Work on their renovated cottage had been ongoing for several years and her fiancé's father, Adrian McKernan, had been heavily involved in preparing the cottage for the couple's return from Australia.
"The most heart-wrenching thing is that Adrian's father took a lot of time, took every evening to come down here and to help us to get home faster," she said.
"Now all his good work has been undone as the floors he put down, he's had to take up again and they have been damaged so they've all swollen so we're going to have to replace it all and replaster the walls because there are holes in it now."
Megan is trying to keep positive despite the desperate situation she has found herself in.
"This has never happened before like this in the last 100 years anyway and I'm just hoping that it won't happen in the next 100," she said.
"We just want to prepare now and make sure and try and prevent anything like this happening to us again because you know I'll definitely be on that flight back to Australia then."
The couple received a morale-boosting visit from Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill on Wednesday.
"She was basically saying that there will be help there," she said.
"There's a certain amount of money that they are going to give the people affected. We're not the only people affected in this area. There's another two houses down the road so all we can do is really do the best we can with that money."
Megan did admit that although the thought of packing it in and returning to Australia had crossed her mind, she had now decided to stay put.
"Since we've been back, I've just fell in love with it and I don't want to give up on it and I mean this area is beautiful," she said.
"I'm not going to give up but I'm hoping that we'll have the resources and the help there to get us through this."
The offence is alleged to have occurred two months ago and was brought to the authorities' attention by someone who said they had seen the broadcast.
The accused's lawyer says that she "categorically" denies the charges.
An expert said the case highlighted the impossibility of controlling content on live-streaming services, which are gaining in popularity.
According to the indictment, the sexual assault took place in the city of Columbus on 27 February.
Marina Lonina is also accused of taking a photo of the 17-year-old in a state of undress the previous night.
Lonina's boyfriend, Raymond Gates, has been accused of carrying out the assault. It is not yet known how he intends to plead.
The two face charges of rape, kidnapping, sexual battery and pandering sexually-oriented matter involving a minor.
Twitter declined to comment. Periscope's guidelines say that graphic content is banned.
But this is not the first time the app has been linked to an alleged offence.
Earlier this month, it was reported that police in London had intervened after a fight between two rival gangs had been arranged via the app.
Other incidents include:
The app has hosted more than 100 million broadcasts since it launched last year, the vast majority of which are innocuous.
But the issue of live-streamed crime could become more common as the activity becomes more mainstream.
Earlier this week, Facebook announced it was adding a tab to its app to help users find live-streamed videos.
The social network had already altered the algorithm of its news feeds to prioritise such feeds.
"The volume of content being created and uploaded every day is far too great to be regulated manually and automatic systems are simply too inaccurate to be practical," commented Dr Joss Wright from the Oxford Internet Institute.
"There is almost no practical way to prevent content like this being uploaded and shared if people want to do it and any system to do so would also have serious implications for freedom of expression and the publication of legitimate but controversial content.
"The internet has undoubtedly made this case worse for the alleged victim. But as with other real-world crimes, prevention is not always possible."
The A8 Greenock Road was closed in both directions between Abbotsinch Road and Inchinnan Drive following the crash.
Police were called to the scene at about 10:30 and have been directing traffic onto diversion routes.
Traffic was reported to be heavy in the area.
Lulu Quinn's work, marking the 70th anniversary of Liverpool-born MP Eleanor Rathbone, can be found in the walled garden at Greenbank Park, the Rathbone family's former estate.
Ms Rathbone waged a 25-year battle for cash to be paid directly to mothers.
Her perseverance resulted in the 1945 Family Allowance Act - which originally saw weekly payouts of five shillings.
Among those attending the unveiling of the artwork were Liverpool's Deputy Mayor Ann O'Byrne, Louise Ellman MP, and Lesley Urbach of the Remembering Eleanor Rathbone campaign.
Ms Rathbone represented the Combined Universities seat (which covered all English universities except for Cambridge, London and Oxford) in the House of Commons from 1929 until shortly before her death.
The artwork features three quotations taken from her writings about women's suffrage, the Family Allowance Act and her campaigns for refugee rights.
It is created out of Corten steel sheets which are used in shipbuilding - a nod to her family's business.
"I wanted to use Eleanor Rathbone's words to animate the garden," said Ms Quinn. "In the current political climate her words are the voice of reason and rationality."
Jenny Rathbone, who represents Cardiff Central for Labour in the Welsh Assembly, said it was "fantastic" that her great aunt's achievements were being recognised and that she would have been "very pleased to see her words commemorated" rather than her personally.
Born in 1872, Eleanor Florence Rathbone has been described as one of the 20th Century's greatest humanitarian activists.
She also became known as the "MP for refugees" for her campaigning on behalf of people fleeing Nazi persecution.
The future MP attended Oxford University but, as a woman, was not allowed to graduate.
She was the first woman to be elected to Liverpool City Council, representing Granby Ward from 1909 to 1934.
She was later elected as an independent MP for the Combined Universities constituency.
The musical event, in its 15th year, took place at the Titanic Slipways in front of about 11,000 people on Saturday evening.
Both Northern Irish and international acts were performing alongside the Ulster Orchestra.
The artists included soprano Lesley Garrett, Broadway performer John Owen-Jones and Londonderry pianist Ruth McGinley.
The event in Belfast was part of the UK-wide celebration of the Last Night of the Proms.
Viewers can watch extracts from the Belfast concert online, and there will also be a highlights programme on BBC Two NI on Sunday, 18 September at 18:00 BST.
The 52-year-old man collided with a Land Rover near Creetown, five miles east of Newton Stewart.
The crash has closed the main Euro-route from the ferry ports at Cairnryan to the UK motorway network.
Diversions have been set up through Carsluith village but Police Scotland warned drivers that there will be delays.
The accident happened just before 12:00 on the Carsluith bypass.
The man who was driving the Land Rover and his female passenger escaped with only shock and bruising.
A woman who lives nearby said: "We just heard an almighty bang and then a woman came in asking us to call the emergency services.
"The diversion is right past our houses here in the village and it's the second time in successive weeks that the road has been closed for hours.
She added: "Last week it was three lorries that were involved in a crash and the road was closed for 18 hours."
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We received the call about 11.40pm and the motor cyclist has died from the results of the accident. The other two people in the Land Rover were not badly hurt.
"The road remains closed in both directions as an accident investigation goes on."
The PM said ministers wanted to replace the Trident nuclear deterrent, but the estimated cost had risen and completion been put back until "the early 2030s".
The number of civilians employed by the MoD is to be reduced by almost 30% by the end of the Parliament, he added.
Dai Hudd, the Prospect union general secretary, called this "devastating".
Setting out the government's Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), Mr Cameron announced plans for investment in two 5,000-strong "strike brigades", additional F-35 jets, maritime patrol aircraft and high-altitude drones.
It comes after he held talks with French President Francois Hollande following the 13 November attacks in Paris, carried out by so-called Islamic State (IS) militants, which left 130 people dead.
Belgian police have charged a man with involvement in the attacks.
£31bn
In case costs overrun, the government will also set aside £10bn
Previous estimates put the cost at up to £25bn
Laying out the government's £178bn defence-spending plans for the next decade, the PM announced:

Mr Cameron told MPs the government had "no way of knowing" what will happen over the next five years, saying: "We must expect the unexpected.
"But we can make sure that we have the versatility and the means to respond to new risks and threats to our security as they arise."
He said he would make the case to MPs for extending air strikes against IS targets from Iraq into Syria on Thursday.
However, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn asked the prime minister how he would apply "lessons learned in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere" to the escalating conflicts in Iraq and Syria.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said "only this government could create a 'rapid reaction force' and will take 10 years to react".
Meanwhile, Angus Robertson, the SNP's leader in Westminster, hit out at plans to replace Trident, labelling it a "super expensive vanity project".
The latest defence announcements follow the 2010 defence review, when spending was cut by 8% - with Harrier jump jets, the HMS Ark Royal, planned Nimrod spy planes and thousands of jobs axed.
By Jonathan Beale, BBC defence correspondent
Equipment axed in the last review is being replaced with knobs on.
The Boeing P8 is the maritime patrol aircraft the RAF always wanted; the two new aircraft carriers will be the biggest warships to sail in the Royal Navy.
But the cuts to the overall size of the armed forces are not being reversed - at least significantly.
The forces are already struggling with recruitment in certain specialist branches. The Navy wanted more than 2,000 extra sailors to crew its new carriers.
It'll have to settle with a modest increase of 400.
Manpower is the most important asset for the military. Retaining highly-trained and motivated personnel is every bit as important as the kit.
Kuenssberg: Review heralds 'a new assertiveness'
4,500 miles (7,200 km) maximum range without refuelling
490 knots (910km/h; 560mph) maximum speed
28 P-8A Poseidon aircraft in use by the United States
2 other countries, India and Australia, have variants of the aircraft in use or on order
Chancellor George Osborne had already announced the purchase of new fighter jets would be accelerated, making 24 F35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft available - rather than the eight previously planned eight - on the UK's two new aircraft carriers by 2023.
The nine Boeing P8 sea patrol aircraft will be based at RAF Lossiemouth and used for maritime surveillance, anti-submarine and anti-surface ship warfare.
Source: House of Commons introduction to 2015 SDSR
Mr Osborne pledged in his summer Budget to meet Nato's target of spending 2% of national income on defence every year, up to 2020.
That means spending on defence will rise in real terms - 0.5% above inflation - every year during the current Parliament.
Meanwhile, the chancellor has refused to rule out cuts to the number of front-line police officers, but says Wednesday's Spending Review will see a 30% increase in the counter-terrorism budget.
An administrative error at a polling station means "an unknown number" of people were able to vote for candidates from outside their own ward.
The error affected candidates standing in the South ward on Macclesfield's new town council.
The council said the number of voters affected was small.
Cheshire East Council will make an application to a county court for the ineligible ballot papers to be discounted from the results.
The votes were part of the first election for Macclesfield's new town council, which will be responsible for facilities including allotments, public toilets and CCTV.
One Conservative and one Labour member were elected to represent South ward.
The Conservatives have eight seats on the new authority while Labour has four.
Subject to court approval, the sealed envelopes containing the ballot papers will now be reopened and the result recalculated.
Cheshire East Council insists the "secrecy of the ballot will be maintained at all times".
Labour have called for an apology and a "clear explanation" for the error.
Cheshire East Council said its returning officer "regrets this has become necessary" but added that only voters who used the polling station at Ivy Bank Primary School have been affected.
The Queen's Speech says the government will "look at all options" for opening new schools, but that will not include removing the current ban on expanding selection.
The controversial plan to stop free lunches for all infants is also absent.
This takes away the biggest source of extra funding promised for schools in the Conservative manifesto.
The government, setting out its plans for the next two years, has not announced any legislation for education.
This means dropping their most high profile proposed education reform - the expansion of selective education in England.
The re-written plans now call for "every child to go to a good or outstanding school" - but with the recognition that any changes will depend upon being able to "command a majority".
A Department for Education source said that the Queen's Speech was an unambiguous decision not to go ahead with creating more grammar schools.
Schools have been campaigning about budget shortages - with a letter being sent this week to two million families warning about funding cuts.
But the government's biggest proposal to deliver extra funding, announced in the Conservative manifesto, also seems to have been ditched.
The scrapping of free meals for all infants was meant to save about £650m, which would have been the majority of an extra £1bn per year to boost school budgets.
This leaves a significant shortfall in the manifesto promise for extra school funding.
A joint response from four teachers' unions said schools were "sending out begging letters to parents" and the "lack of urgent action is deeply disappointing".
Jules White, the West Sussex head teacher who has co-ordinated a funding campaign in 17 local authorities, said: "The government said that it had heard the message from the electorate.
"It's high time they acted to put things right and fund schools in a way that every child deserves."
The government says it will bring forward its proposals on school funding at a later date.
Jo Yurky, who ran a parents' campaign over school cuts, said the lack of movement on funding had shown a "baffling disregard for the concerns of parents, teachers and school leaders".
But the government says it is pressing ahead with changes to how budgets are allocated to individual schools, through a new National Funding Formula.
More on the Queen's Speech
The new formula is meant to resolve unfairness and anomalies in how funding is allocated.
There is also a commitment to improving vocational education and improving the level of skills in the workforce - training people for "high-skilled, high-wage jobs of the future".
The ambition is for vocational exams to be given as much status as their academic counterparts - and there are plans for so-called "T-levels" for technical qualifications.
Liberal Democrat education spokeswoman, Layla Moran, said: "It is incredulous that the government have claimed they will deliver fair funding for every school in today's Queen's Speech.
"The reality is that pupils and teachers will still bear the brunt of billions of pounds of cuts under Conservative plans."
It was handwritten by producer George Martin and signed by Paul McCartney, who wrote the lyrics.
Rigby's name is inscribed on a headstone in a Liverpool graveyard, where McCartney first met John Lennon at a church fete.
Deeds for the grave and a miniature Bible, dated 1899 and with her name written inside, will also be sold.
They were discovered by a relative when the estate of two of Rigby's half-sisters was left to the family.
Paul Fairweather, from Omega Auctions, said it was an "incredible coincidence" for both lots to come up for sale at the same time.
"I expect there to be fierce bidding from across the globe."
With its familiar refrain of "All the lonely people, where do they all come from", the song Eleanor Rigby was released as a double A-side single.
The song formed part of The Beatles' 1966 album, Revolver, and was released on the same day as the LP, alongside Yellow Submarine.
It also featured in The Beatles' film of the same name in 1969.
The score, written in pencil, includes notes that the song was to be recorded in London's Abbey Road Studio number two and was to include four violins, two violas and two cellos.
The items will be on sale at the Beatles Memorabilia Auction in Warrington on 11 September.
A study found shortcomings in the generation of the random numbers used to scramble or encrypt data.
The hard-to-guess numbers are vital to many security measures that prevent data theft.
But the sources of data that some computers call on to generate these numbers often run dry.
This, they warned, could mean random numbers are more susceptible to well-known attacks that leave personal data vulnerable.
"This seemed like just an interesting problem when we got started but as we went on it got scary," said security analyst Bruce Potter who, along with researcher Sasha Wood, carried out the study that was presented at the Black Hat security event in Las Vegas.
It looked at the ways that widely used Linux-based web server software generated strings of data that were used as a "seed" for random numbers.
Large, hard-to-guess numbers are vital for encrypting data. They are also used by servers in more mundane security tasks such as randomising where data is stored in memory to thwart attempts by hackers to predict what a machine is doing.
The process of generating a good random number begins with the server translating mouse movements, keyboard presses and other things a machine does into a data stream of ones and zeros. This data is gathered in a "pool" that is regularly called on for many security functions.
Ideally, said Mr Potter, this pool of data would possess a high degree of a property known as "entropy".
An unshuffled pack of cards has a low entropy, said Mr Potter, because there is little surprising or uncertain about the order the cards would be dealt. The more a pack was shuffled, he said, the more entropy it had because it got harder to be sure about which card would be turned over next.
Data is taken from the pool in discrete chunks to make a "seed" that gives rise to a random number. Broadly, said Mr Potter, the higher the entropy, the harder a random number should be to guess.
Unfortunately, he said, the entropy of the data streams on Linux servers was often very low because the machines were not generating enough raw information for them.
Also, he said, server security software did little to check whether a data stream had high or low entropy.
These pools often ran dry leaving encryption systems struggling to get good seeds for their random number generators, said Mr Potter. This might meant they were easier to guess and more susceptible to a brute force attack because seeds for new numbers were generated far less regularly than was recommended.
The work had exposed unknown aspects of the basic workings of encryption on millions of widely used web servers, said Mr Potter.
"That scared us because when you have unknowns in crypto that's when things go sideways.
BBC Sport takes a look at the quirkiest and more interesting statistics from the weekend.
If it wasn't already apparent, Leicester City are now in serious danger of going from champions to Championship.
Their 3-0 defeat by Manchester United on Sunday, after Swansea's late heartbreak against Manchester City, coupled with stunning wins for Hull City and Sunderland, mean just two points now separate the bottom six in the Premier League.
This is only the second time in Premier League history the relegation battle has been this tight after close of play on 5 February. Newcastle United fans may want to look away now...
Tottenham were also caught up in the relegation mire at this stage of the 2008-09 season, with 24 points after as many games, but were clear of the bottom six thanks to their superior goal difference.
That season saw Newcastle, Middlesbrough and West Brom relegated, with Blackburn's escape suggesting there is hope for current 18th-place occupants Hull.
You could be forgiven for thinking that Chelsea already have two hands on the trophy after tightening their grip on the Premier League title, while their rivals have faltered in recent weeks.
But the Blues' nine-point lead is not the greatest margin any team has held over the rest at this stage of the season. That honour goes to Manchester United, who held a remarkable 15-point lead over Arsenal on 5 February 2001, going on to win the title by 10 points.
The Red Devils hold the second biggest lead on this date too, a 13-point advantage again over Blackburn in the 1993-94 season, in which they also won the title.
Yet the third-highest lead at this stage suggests there is some precedent for Chelsea to be caught. Newcastle fans may want to look away, again...
Like Chelsea, Kevin Keegan's side were nine points clear. They led Manchester United on 5 February 1996, only for a run of five defeats in their subsequent nine games to see Sir Alex Ferguson's side overhaul them in March and eventually claim the title by four points.
Yet with Chelsea only due to face Manchester City and Manchester United from the current top six during their final 14 games, can anyone hope to stop Antonio Conte's side?
The old adage goes that age is just a number, but Jermain Defoe's numbers just seem to get more notable the older he gets.
The 34-year-old scored twice in Sunderland's 4-0 thrashing of relegation rivals Crystal Palace on Saturday, taking his total for the season to 14.
Defoe looks on course not only to beat last season's tally of 15, but also surpass his best-ever top-flight total of 18 for Spurs in 2009-10 as he seeks to fire Sunderland to safety once again.
It was a weekend for vintage strikers as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, at 35 years and 125 days old, became the oldest Premier League player to score 15 goals in a season, but Defoe actually lags behind plenty of prolific veterans in the list of top Premier League scorers after passing their 30th birthday.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright turned 30 in the 1993-94 season and went on to score an impressive 93 goals in 169 appearances, including 10 as the Gunners won the 1997-98 title, while he also had a brief spell at West Ham.
He also has the best goals per game rate of every player to score more than 40 goals aged 30 or over. Indeed, he is the only player to score at better than a goal every other game, with 0.55 goals per game.
In comparison, Defoe has now scored 41 goals in 116 Premier League appearances at a rate of 0.35 goals per game since his 30th birthday on 7 October 2012, putting him 16th on the list.
Of course, no list of golden oldies would be complete without Teddy Sheringham, who struck 77 times in 284 appearances past the 30-year mark and remains the oldest Premier League goalscorer at 40 years and 268 days when he scored for West Ham against Portsmouth in December 2006.
In scoring the third of his four goals against Bournemouth on Saturday, Everton striker Romelu Lukaku claimed the 300th hat-trick in Premier League history.
The inductees into this club range from the illustrious, such as Eric Cantona, who scored the first ever Premier League hat-trick for Leeds United in August 1992, to the more obscure. Think Fredi Bobic for Bolton in April 2002 and Somen Tchoyi for West Brom in May 2011.
Lukaku himself now has three hat-tricks and becomes the 24th player to score four or more goals in a Premier League match.
But the 23-year-old Belgian has some way to go before he catches up with the most prolific hat-trick hitters...
Perhaps unsurprisingly, all-time record Premier League goalscorer Alan Shearer is top with 11, two ahead of Robbie Fowler, with Thierry Henry and Michael Owen tied for third on eight.
Shearer scored two of those hat-tricks for Newcastle United and a remarkable nine at Blackburn Rovers, helping them to sixth in the list of most hat-tricks by club in Premier League history, with 17 in total.
The top five hat-trick scoring clubs are the usual suspects - Arsenal topping the pile on 38, thanks mainly to Henry (8) and Ian Wright (5), while Robin van Persie, Emmanuel Adebayor and Theo Walcott have all scored three trebles for the Gunners.
TS Eliot wrote April was the cruellest month, but for Arsenal fans it could well be February.
Yet again their season appears to have unravelled at this crucial time of year and it was a case of history repeating itself as they once more failed to beat one of their supposed title rivals away from home in a 3-1 defeat by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Since a newly-wealthy Manchester City joined the so-called "big six" in the 2009-10 season, the Gunners have failed to win more than two games in any one campaign on the road against their five main rivals, also consisting of Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
In the 38 games they've played at these five teams since 2009-10, Arsene Wenger's side have managed just seven wins and nine draws, meaning a total of 22 defeats and only 30 points from these key encounters.
It's a perennial problem that is sure to add to the "serious thinking" Wenger will have to do at the end of the season.
Gabriel Jesus proved himself to be a friend of headline writers and an enemy of match report writers as he scored an injury-time winner in Manchester City's 2-1 victory over Swansea.
A miracle? Perhaps not, given Jesus' strike was the 12th time a 90th-minute winner, including goals in added time, has been scored this season.
This campaign looks set to beat last season's tally of 13 last-minute winners, but we're in for plenty of late drama if the record number of 24 90th-minute winners in the 2007-08 season is to be overhauled.
Interestingly, there was a run of three seasons from 2007-08 that saw 20 or more 90th-minute winners before a decrease in recent years. Though we could see it peak again, with 19 last-minute winners expected at this year's current rate of 12 after 24 games for each side.
And which side has benefitted most from 90th-minute winners in Premier League history? It's surely those purveyors of Fergie time, Manchester United, right? Wrong.
Manchester United are only joint fifth, with 18 90th-minute winners, while their rivals Liverpool rank highest with a stunning 29.
And who has suffered most in terms of late drama?
That dubious title is shared by Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, who have conceded 19 times in the 90th-minute or beyond.
So be ready for a thrilling end when Liverpool face Spurs on Saturday.
Rescuers had urged Kevin Brady to avoid the section of the River Severn below Arlingham in Gloucestershire, saying it is "very very dangerous".
Whirlpools, moving sandbanks, sinking sand and no public access contribute to the risks.
"It puts a knot deep inside my stomach," the 32-year-old said earlier.
Geoff Dawe, from the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA), said: "The noose is a horrible place, even in a boat."
"The big issue from my point-of-view is if he suffers from cold, and gets muscle cramps, then there's not much he can do."
The section is 4.2 miles (6.7km) long and Mr Brady is expected to take between one and two hours to swim it, according to Mr Dawe.
Two small lifeboats, deployed nearby for a training exercise, will remain on the water while he is swimming.
The fundraiser began his 220 mile (350 km) marathon swim in Plynlimon, Powys on 23 September and is aiming to finish on Severn Beach later this week.
He said he is attempting to become the first man to swim the entire length of the River Severn.
"When [Geoff] sat me down and said 'You shouldn't be doing this, this is far too dangerous, I completely advise you against this' I nearly wanted to cry," added Mr Brady.
"I'll be taking a look at the weather, chatting to people around us and we'll be assessing the risks as they come. That's the only way I can deal with it.

A total of 55 allegations of malpractice against Desmond D'Mello were proven during a General Dental Council (GDC) misconduct hearing.
Secret filming exposed poor levels of cleanliness at the Daybrook Dental Practice, near Nottingham.
The footage prompted the recall of some 22,000 patients, 4,500 of whom were tested for blood-borne viruses.
More on this story and other news in Nottinghamshire
Of the 56 allegations D'Mello was accused of, all but one were were proven by the GDC.
The allegations included:
Gavin Scott, chair of the panel, said Mr D'Mello's behaviour was "fundamentally incompatible with being a dental professional".
He said his failings constituted "a contemptible circus of gravely hazardous practice which placed his patients at a serious risk of infection".
Caroline Surgey, who was D'Mello's dental nurse at the same practice admitted 27 allegations at the same hearing.
The 43-year-old has been allowed to continue to work as a dental nurse, but must accept conditions and work under close supervision.
During the hearing she said Mr D'Mello was cutting costs.
"He did not like me changing gloves all the time," she told the hearing.
"I was ashamed and I could see failures in all of it and if I saw that person I would think they were a really bad person," she added.
Mr D'Mello made the decision not to attend the hearing, nor to have legal representation.
In a statement to the panel, he said he was in "total shock" at the allegations, which he accused the NHS of handling in a "humiliating" manner.
Secret filming at the practice in 2014 prompted the recall of 22,000 patients.
NHS England said, of 4,526 patients who were tested following the recall, five were found to have hepatitis C.
Jonathan Green, of the GDC, said as well as not being able to practice as a dentist in the UK, dental regulators across Europe will be notified of the panel's decision.
"At no stage did Mr D'Mello demonstrate an understanding of the severity of the charges, such as by either admitting to any of his failings, or apologise to his patients," he said.
The surgery is now under new management.

"I watched the brilliant Paracanoe performances in Rio and was keen to try something new," said Henshaw, who has had both legs amputated above the knee.
"I felt like I was ready to take on a new challenge that is different from anything I have done before."
Henshaw began canoeing at the end of 2016 and hopes to qualify for the European Championships as she sets her sights on competing at another Paralympics.

The inquiry into the Al-Hijrah Trust will look into allegations its trustees failed to comply with financial regulations.
The commission, which regulates charities in England and Wales, said it followed an inspection in February.
Lawyers acting on behalf of the Al-Hijrah Trust have declined to comment.
The commission said its inquiry would focus on the charity's finances and particularly the rent it is paid by the Al-Hijrah School.
A spokesman said: "The charity's trustees have repeatedly failed to submit the charity's accounts within the statutory timescales and address concerns, previously raised by the commission, over the charity's internal financial controls."
The commission added the trust was not responsible for the running of the school or its funding, and said the school was not the subject of the inquiry.
In December, Birmingham City Council launched an investigation into claims the Al-Hijrah Trust used £1m of taxpayers' money to set up a faith school in Pakistan.
A council spokesperson said: "We continue to work with the relevant statutory agencies and will consider the findings of the Charity Commission."
Sussan Ley said she made an "error of judgement" in billing taxpayers for three Gold Coast visits since 2014.
PM Malcolm Turnbull said Ms Ley agreed to step aside without ministerial pay pending an investigation.
Entitlements scandals have engulfed Australian politics in recent years.
Ms Ley's ministerial travel to the Gold Coast will be investigated by both the Department of Finance and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, Ms Ley said she did not expect to be stood down permanently.
"I'm very confident that the investigations will demonstrate that no rules were broken whatsoever," she told reporters.
"I have nothing to hide - I have not broken any of the rules."
Mr Turnbull said: "I expect the highest standards from my ministers in all aspects of their conduct, and especially the expenditure of public money."
Opposition health spokeswoman Catherine King said Ms Ley did not have a credible explanation for charging taxpayers for the trips.
"These revelations make it crystal clear that Malcolm Turnbull must sack Sussan Ley," Ms King said.
"Either she must walk or Mr Turnbull must push her."
Ms Ley said the decision to purchase an investment property during a ministerial trip in May 2015 was "neither planned nor anticipated".
Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce defended Ms Ley, saying she also had "legitimate business" on the visit.
"Even though I admit it's a substantial purchase, that is not the reason she went to the Gold Coast," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
"She went to the Gold Coast for work ... people are saying she concocted a reason to do a policy announcement on the Gold Coast. I think that is a bit rich."
Police believe the blasts may be linked to an apparent suicide.
The explosions took place almost simultaneously at about 11:30 local time (02:30 GMT) in the city in Tochigi prefecture, north of Tokyo.
Two cars in a nearby parking area also caught fire at the same time, police said.
The Japanese broadcaster NHK says police found a suicide note at the scene, and one of the damaged vehicles was owned by a 72-year-old man, believed to be a former member of the Self-Defence Forces.
His house in the city of Utsunomiya had been destroyed in a fire shortly before the explosions, the broadcaster said.
The blast in the nearby park seriously injured two men, and a 14-year-old boy suffered minor leg injuries. No-one was injured in the car parking area.
A festival celebrating traditional culture had been taking place in the park. A man who was there at the time told NHK that he heard "a big sound" and smelled gunpowder.
The broadcaster also reported that a video camera at nearby Utsunomiya station recorded the sound of three explosions in quick succession - at 11:31, 11:32, and a third "bigger sound" 15 seconds later.
Photographs showed a splintered and broken bench in the area of one of the blasts, while other images posted to social media appeared to show a column of black smoke.
Police have cordoned off the area.
Arthur Heeler-Frood, 15, has been missing from his family home in Axminster, Devon, for more than two months.
As he left for school on his bike on 6 September, he said "don't worry mum, I've got my fluorescent [vest]".
His mother Caroline Heeler-Frood said: "That was the last word I heard from him."

A letter from Arthur arrived through the post for his parents the next day which said he would be back within a year.
The letter said: "I have run away because I am bored of my life. Please don't try to find me or make me come home."
There have been no positive sightings of Arthur and he has not tried to make contact, Mrs Heeler-Frood told BBC Radio 5Live.
She said: "We had absolutely no idea that he had anything in mind at all. You rake over all the conversations you have and there was nothing that suggested he was thinking about this.
"In some way its consoling he had planned this initial stage. But there is nothing to indicate what his intentions were."
To Mum and Dad,
I have run away because I am bored of my life. Please don't try to find me or make me come home.
I don't know how long I will be away for but it won't be longer than a year. You will find my school uniform in a bin bag in a small barn in the field on the green, down the road near Membury Church.
My bike is chained to the fence and there is a spare key to the lock on the window. Please apologise to the restaurant and tell them that I will no longer be able to work there.
I know you will be upset but understand that I have to do this,
From Arthur.
Arthur's mother appealed to "any employee at Facebook" to help Devon and Cornwall Police gain access to the 15-year-old's account which they have not been able to access.
Arthur took £350 in cash with him, but did not take his phone, passport or many belongings with him.
Mrs Heeler-Frood said: "Arthur, please just make contact with us, call us, phone us, text us, write. We're absolutely desperate to know that you're safe."
Supt Sam de Reya said: "We are appealing to business owners, likely to be restaurateurs, hoteliers and cafe owners who may have had a young man work for them in the last few months or anyone who may have provided accommodation to him in that time period."
Arthur is described as white, 5ft 4in (1.6m) tall, of slight build with short and light brown hair. Arthur may now have considerably shorter hair, possibly shaven, as he took hair clippers with him.
The 35-year-old beat fifth seed Nishikori 6-7 (4-7) 6-4 6-1 4-6 6-3 to keep alive his hopes of an 18th Grand Slam and fifth Australian Open title.
Federer, seeded 17th, is playing his first competitive event since Wimbledon six months ago following a knee injury.
He will play Mischa Zverev, conqueror of Andy Murray, in the last eight.
Third seed Stan Wawrinka beat Andreas Seppi 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-4) and goes on to face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who beat Dan Evans 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 6-4 6-4.
After dropping his opening two service games, Federer found the range that had seen him hammer Tomas Berdych in the previous round, giving Nishikori a torrid time.
"It was a great match and a joy to be part of it," said Federer.
"I wasn't playing badly in the first set - it's a quick court and things happen fast. It was about staying calm at 4-0.
"I thought it can't get any worse from there. It was hard not to win that first set after all the effort but it paid off in the end. This is a huge win for me in my career."
From 5-1 down, the Swiss roared back - almost taking the set before losing out in a tie-break - and clinching the second set with a solitary break.
The third disappeared in a flash as Federer took apart the Nishikori serve, winning every point on the Japanese player's second serve, and he went close to breaking through again early in the fourth set.
Nishikori, 27, held on under huge pressure and forced a decider but it was Federer who proved the stronger, racing into a 3-0 lead and closing it out - to the delight of most of those on Rod Laver Arena.
Federer played just seven events in 2016 after injuring his knee the day after his Australian Open semi-final and having arthroscopic knee surgery.
He dropped out of the world's top 10 for the first time in 734 weeks last November, and arrived in Melbourne ranked 17th - his lowest position since May 2001.
The Swiss is the oldest man to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final since the 39-year-old Jimmy Connors at the 1991 US Open.
But the departure of first Djokovic and then Murray has thrown the draw wide open, with Federer, as well as the likes of Wawrinka and Rafael Nadal, in with a chance of adding to their Grand Slam tallies.
"I felt like if Rafa and myself can be healthy, yes, you can expect us in the quarter-finals," Federer added.
"That Novak and Andy are not, that is a big surprise. I never thought that Mischa Zverev and Denis Istomin would beat those two big guys.
"I guess it's good for tennis that a lot of guys believe stronger now that the top guys are beatable, are vulnerable, especially on a faster court. It happened completely in different circumstances.
"But two huge surprises. No doubt about that."
Nathan Gill, another MEP, said his colleague would stay there for observation "as a precaution".
He insisted there was no danger to his health "even though it was at one stage touch and go".
He also said Mr Woolfe had "reached out a hand of friendship" to the other MEP involved, Mike Hookem.
UKIP has launched an inquiry into the incident in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, after which Mr Woolfe subsequently collapsed and was taken to hospital.
The 49 year-old - among the favourites to be the party's next leader - had a precautionary brain scan which revealed there was no blood clot on his brain.
Nigel Farage said he has asked the party chair and secretary to conduct an investigation early next week.
He asserted "the truth will be discovered", adding: "Other claims being made in the media by representatives of UKIP who were not even there at the time are extremely unhelpful."
UKIP chairman Paul Oakden said there would be a full investigation and "appropriate action" if necessary.
The incident, understood to be between Mr Woolfe and fellow MEP Mike Hookem, took place during a heated UKIP meeting in the European Parliament.
UKIP sources said "a rumbustious argument" had taken place following claims Mr Woolfe had been considering defecting to the Conservative Party.
Accounts of what followed vary, with Mr Woolfe quoted in the Daily Mail as saying a punch was thrown at him.
UKIP did not deny Mr Hookem, who represents Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, left the room with Mr Woolfe, although a spokeswoman is reported to have denied that a physical fight took place.
The BBC has been told it is believed that Mr Woolfe banged his head against a window or a wall but then got up. Following a vote two hours later "he collapsed" and doctors were called and his wife was contacted.
Speaking to the BBC's Newsnight programme, the UKIP chairman said the incident appeared to be a case of "two individuals who clearly got carried away" but it would be inappropriate to speculate over what caused Mr Woolfe to fall.
Mr Oakden said the events did not characterise or define UKIP, adding: "The party is far bigger than any one individual. That's something we have demonstrated particularly over these last few months."
In a statement, Mr Woolfe said: "The CT scan has shown that there is no blood clot in the brain. At the moment I am feeling brighter, happier, and smiling as ever.
"As a precaution, I am being kept in overnight awaiting secondary tests to make sure everything [is] fine."
Announcing an inquiry into the incident, UKIP interim leader Nigel Farage said: "It's two grown men getting involved in an altercation.
"It's not very seemly behaviour, but I'm not... going to get involved in the blame game, name names and say who did what."
Mr Farage has returned as UKIP leader until a fresh election is held to find a successor to Diane James. She announced her resignation on Tuesday after just 18 days in the job, citing professional and personal reasons.
Mr Woolfe, the MEP for North West England, later announced he will run for leader in the next election, having being unable to take part in the previous contest because he missed the deadline for submitting his nomination.
Raheem Kassam, the other candidate to have declared for the UKIP leadership so far, tweeted his best wishes for Mr Woolfe.
But after news of the altercation broke, one of UKIP's major donors, Arron Banks, issued a statement in which he threatened to withdraw his support for the party, saying it was at "breaking point".
He criticised UKIP's leader in Wales, Neil Hamilton, over comments he made in television interviews where he appeared to blame Mr Woolfe for events "before anyone knew if Steven was going to be OK".
Mr Banks also warned critics of Mr Farage not to prevent Mr Woolfe - who is seen as the interim leader's preferred successor - from standing.
On Tuesday, US defence officials said Tarkhan Batirashvili, a Georgian known as Omar Shishani, likely died in the attack near Shaddadi on Friday.
But the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had information he had been taken for treatment in Raqqa.
There has so far been no comment from IS on the report of Shishani's death.
Last year, the US offered a $5m (£3.5m) reward for Shishani, whom it said had held numerous top military positions within the group, including "minister of war".
A statement issued by the US defence department said it was "still assessing the results" of the operation targeting Shishani in Hassakeh province. But an unnamed senior defence official said it was likely the IS commander was killed.
Late on Wednesday, the Syrian Observatory said its sources had confirmed that an air strike had targeted Shishani's convoy on Friday.
Several of his bodyguards were killed, the sources said, but the commander himself was badly wounded.
"He's not dead," the Syrian Observatory's director, Rami Abdul Rahman, told the AFP news agency.
"He was taken from the province of Hassakeh to a hospital in Raqqa province, where he was treated by a jihadist doctor of European origin," he said.
The city of Raqqa, where Shishani is believed to have been based, is the de facto capital of the so-called caliphate whose formation IS proclaimed in 2014.
The defence department said it believed Shishani had been sent to the Shaddadi area to bolster IS militants following "a series of strategic defeats" to local forces supported by the US.
Shaddadi was captured last month by the Syrian Arab Coalition, an alliance of Arab rebel groups which have joined forces with the Kurdish YPG militia to battle IS.
Semesa Rokoduguni put the hosts ahead early on at the Rec but Wasps hit back through Elliot Daly and Jimmy Gopperth - the fly-half adding five kicks from the tee.
George Ford and Gopperth exchanged penalties in the second half, and Daly added a drop goal for the visitors.
Alapati Leiua's converted try made sure of Wasps' convincing win.
The two Premiership sides are vying for a quarter-final spot alongside reigning champions Toulon and three-time winners Leinster.
Bath had kept up the chase in an open pool with a dramatic late victory over Wasps in the reverse fixture last weekend.
But now the pressure is on the West Country side, with two games against Toulon to come as well as a trip to Dublin.
Wasps travel to France in January before welcoming Leinster to Coventry.
New Zealander Gopperth endured a difficult start to his Wasps career after serving a three-week suspension for a late challenge on Leicester captain Mathew Tait in their Premiership meeting in November.
But the former Newcastle player starred for Dai Young's side at the Rec, scoring 23 points in their impressive victory.
England's Rokoduguni got the hosts off to the best possible start, when he got on the end of a flat pass from Kyle Eastmond and was left in acres of space to race over.
Wasps responded through a Gopperth penalty and took the lead when Joe Simpson picked up a loose ball in midfield and fed to Daly.
Gopperth then added two more kicks and a converted try of his own following a five-metre scrum, as his side took a deserved 23-7 lead at the break.
Bath managed to halt Wasps' flow in the second half after overhauling their front row, but they only managed to add three points from the boot of Ford.
Daly slotted a speculative drop goal to extend the visitors' lead and, with Rokoduguni in the bin for a deliberate knock-on, Wasps pounced again.
Gopperth broke through the defence and offloaded to Leiua, and the fly-half added a fourth conversion.
Bath: Watson; Rokoduguni, Joseph, Eastmond, Banahan; Ford, Matawalu; Auterac, Batty, Wilson; Garvey, Attwood; Houston, Louw (c), Denton.
Replacements: Webber, Lahiff, Thomas, Ewels, Mercer, Cook, Priestland, Homer.
Wasps: Miller; Halai, Daly, Jacobs, Piutau; Gopperth, Simpson; Mullan, Johnson, Cittadini; Launchbury, Davies; Haskell, Smith, Hughes.
Replacements: Shervington, McIntyre, Swainston, Gaskell, Jones, Robson, Jackson, Leiua
As relief efforts continue in the Kathmandu Valley, the UN says the response is broadening to include hard hit areas such as Dhading and Gorkha.
The 7.8-magnitude quake killed more than 5,000 people. Many survivors are in desperate need of food and water.
Thousands of people are queuing to board buses and leave the capital, amid fears of further aftershocks.
"We are scared of the epidemics that may spread because of all those dead bodies," a man waiting at Kathmandu's main bus station told the BBC. "Just to be safe, I'm leaving town for a while."
Early on Wednesday police at the station scuffled with people trying to get on to crowded buses.
In other developments:
There's a rush to get out of Kathmandu. Thousands of people are trying to flee - some trying to head out to the remote districts to see how their families are, others including tourists trying to head towards India by road.
But there simply aren't enough buses to take them out and the highways are choked with vehicles, people and relief convoys. Tempers are flaring. The police came to the bus station to restrain those trying to board crowded buses, which made it worse.
Outside Kathmandu airport, there are lines of tourists trying their best to get a ticket to fly home. The airlines have laid on extra flights but it's not enough and also, the airport is finding it hard to cope with the additional rush as well as the influx of cargo aircraft bringing in relief material.
Learning lessons from disaster
Satellite reveals quake movement
Rescue operations resumed on Wednesday following bad weather.
Bella Messenger, an NGO worker in an isolated area of Gorkha district, told the BBC that Chinese lorries had brought aid to the area, but many people remained cut off.
"You can't get to some villages without a helicopter," she said.
There was some good news when a man trapped in the rubble of a Kathmandu hotel for 82 hours was pulled to safety by Nepalese and French teams.
Rishi Khanal, 27, said he had been surrounded by dead bodies and drank his own urine to survive.
"I had some hope but by yesterday I'd given up. I was sure no-one was coming for me. I was certain I was going to die," he told AP news agency from his hospital bed.
More than eight million people have been affected by the quake, the UN says. About 10,000 people have been injured.
Hundreds of thousands of people continue to live in temporary camps, in squalid conditions with very little food and water, says the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in Kathmandu.
Officials admit they have been overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster, but highlight the challenges it poses in one of Asia's poorest countries.
"The government is trying its best to deliver the relief materials," National Disaster Management chief Rameshwor Dangal told the BBC. "The problem is the level of disaster is very high and it's spread over more than 20 districts."
Renaud Meyer of the UN Development Programme said Kathmandu's single-runway airport was struggling to accommodate the rush of aid flights, but teams were delivering supplies as quickly as possible.
On Mount Everest - where the quake triggered an avalanche that killed at least 18 people - all stranded climbers have now been evacuated from base camp.

Mr Holder, who was born in the Caldmore area, was made an honorary freeman of the borough at the town hall.
Slade had a string of hits in their 1970s and early 80s heyday, including Merry Xmas Everybody and Coz I Luv You. Mr Holder has also acted and provided TV voiceovers.
He told a packed council chamber he was "thrilled" and "proud" to receive the honour.
"I only wish my mum and dad were alive to be there. They both lived in Walsall all of their lives," he added.
During the ceremony, which took place in the council chamber, Mr Holder, 68, was presented with a silver casket containing a scroll which recorded his admission as an honorary freeman of the borough.
Some fans watched from the chamber's public gallery while others viewed the proceedings on a screen in the town hall.
Accepting the award, Mr Holder said he hoped it would raise the profile of the arts in the West Midlands, which he had aimed to promote throughout his 50-year career.
"I think I've flown the flag for the West Midlands and the Black Country during the last 50 years," he said.
"The Midlands has some of the best artists, produced great bands, great comedians, great dancers, but people outside the Midlands don't recognise them for it," he said.
Plenty of rock and pop legends have been granted freedom of their home towns
Mayor Pete Smith presented Mr Holder with the honour and said it was given in "grateful recognition of service to the entertainment and music industry for the last 50 years".
"He was, and still is, a down-to-Earth guy, proud of his Walsall and Black Country roots and connections", he said.
Council leader Mike Bird said he was "absolutely delighted and very proud that Noddy Holder has accepted this honour."
He added it was a "special occasion" for the town.
Afterwards, Mr Holder conducted a short question and answer session with fans.
Mr Holder, who made his singing debut aged seven on stage at Walsall Labour Working Men's Club, has said he still thinks of Walsall as "home" and regularly returns for "a decent curry".
He has lived near Wilmslow, Cheshire, for more than 25 years.
Written off by his rivals and the media after suffering a drubbing at the hands of Narendra Modi's resurgent BJP in last May's general elections, India's most famous anti-corruption campaigner has bounced back.
The former tax inspector took on a ruling party at the peak of its power and felled it in the national capital. For sheer symbolism, Mr Kejriwal's victory in Delhi is astounding, the proverbial David slaying the all-mighty Goliath. The scale of the BJP's defeat makes Mr Kejriwal's win truly extraordinary.
How did India's most powerful and richest party - with its charismatic leader, fabled organisational skills and political nous - get it so wrong?
A little over a year ago, the BJP picked up 32 of 70 seats in hung elections to the Delhi state assembly. Last May, it took all seven of the capital's parliamentary seats, as well as bordering the capital. It rolled out the heavy artillery against Mr Kejriwal in Delhi - Mr Modi himself led the campaign, helped by nearly two dozen federal ministers and 120 MPs. But to no avail. "This is not just a defeat for the BJP, this is a decimation in a high-profile election," says Swapan Dasgupta, a columnist who is no admirer of Mr Kejriwal.
For one, Mr Kejriwal launched his campaign to regain Delhi as early as last July. Most believe the anti-corruption campaigner's masterstroke was telling people that he was sorry for quitting in haste after a chaotic 49-day stint in power following an impressive debut in the December 2013 state polls. He went to every neighbourhood and slum to beg forgiveness. "We have made a mistake", he told people, "but we haven't sinned." In a country where politicians are increasingly seen as aloof and arrogant, Mr Kejriwal's atonement worked wonders. Every comeback needs true believers, and Delhi's voters believed him.
Mr Kejriwal also drove a positive - and populist - campaign focusing on Delhi. The BJP surprised many by running a personal campaign against Mr Kejriwal. It was, most said, bound to backfire.
The fact that Mr Kejriwal's party won more than half of the popular vote - the highest by any party in Delhi ever - also points to the fact that his supporters transcended class and religion: the poor and the minorities appear to have backed him, and a large section of the middle class, which had deserted him, returned. One young professional, who voted for the BJP in May, told me he was voting for Mr Kejriwal this time because he was unnerved by Mr Modi's failure to gag his party's radical fringe.
But more importantly, say analysts like Neerja Chowdhury, "voters in Delhi also reacted to the BJP's arrogance of power". The BJP is a cadre-based party with deep roots in Delhi. Analysts say voters did not take kindly to former policewoman Kiran Bedi being introduced at the last-minute as the BJP's chief ministerial candidate. Also, Mr Kejriwal represents what many say is a refreshing brand of unostentatious politics, far removed from the flashy political culture associated with both the BJP and Congress. "Hope has returned," said AAP leader Yogendra Yadav.
It won't be easy. Mr Kejriwal faces considerable challenges in governing one of the world's megacities. Although petty corruption was kept in check, his shambolic 49-day government did not inspire much confidence. Delhi is a complex city-state where 40% of the people are migrants and faces serious problems with water, electricity, housing, air pollution and choking traffic. Can Mr Kejriwal shed his activist mode and make the kind of compromises that come with governance? Analyst Ashish Nandy says the AAP's win is a "return to politics of populism". But just how much populism can Delhi - and India - afford?
For Mr Modi and the BJP, defeat marks the end of the honeymoon period and they are stripped of their aura of invincibility.
Now, fractious - and largely discredited - opposition parties across the country will be emboldened and begin believing they can take on the BJP. That will be easier said than done. Congress, which has drawn a complete blank for the first time in Delhi, appears to be facing an existential crisis. "This is a big morale booster for India's opposition parties," says Neerja Chowdhury. But it will take a lot more effort to translate that spirit into votes against the BJP across the country.
The hosts had gone ahead after just eight minutes when Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu clipped the ball over the top for Danny Hylton to control on his chest superbly and beat Luke McCormick for his 19th of the season.
Mpanzu saw his long range attempt saved by McCormick, before Argyle drew level on 26 minutes when Graham Carey's low cross was turned home by Craig Tanner.
Yann Songo'o's header was comfortable for Matt Macey, while Hylton almost had a second on 34 minutes, McCormick pouncing on his angled drive.
In the second period, Antoni Sarcevic sent a tame shot straight at Macey and Hylton just couldn't climb high enough to turn home Mpanzu's cross.
The Luton striker then forced McCormick into another low stop, with Scott Cuthbert heading over the top from a deep corner.
Argyle threatened sporadically, with Ryan Taylor's effort deflecting into the side-netting and Sonny Bradley glancing off target.
Hylton came closest to a winner, his header grabbed by McCormick as both sides had to make do with a share of the spoils.

Richard Keen QC is stepping down from his position as chairman of the Scottish Conservative Party to become the new Advocate General for Scotland.
He was previously dean of the Faculty of Advocates.
Mr Keen said it would be a "great honour" to support the UK government at a "crucial point" as new legislation brings further devolution to Holyrood.
He said: "I am delighted to be appointed Advocate General for Scotland.
"It is a great honour to join the UK government and I look forward to working with my ministerial colleagues to support the work of the UK government in Scotland at this crucial point in our political and constitutional history."
Mr Keen is one of the most prominent figures in Scottish legal circles. He stood down from his role at the Faculty of Advocates to become the chairman of the Scottish Conservatives.
Scottish Secretary David Mundell said: "This is a key job for Scotland and Richard is exactly the right person to take it on.
"He is one of our most respected and experienced legal minds, and will have a central role in supporting the UK government in Scotland, not least as we work to strengthen devolution to the Scottish Parliament."
About 40,000 users downloaded Firechat last week, compared with 6,600 over the previous few months, the company says.
The internet has been blocked in some Iraqi provinces, as authorities seek to prevent militants from communicating.
Access to social media sites has also been severely restricted.
Firechat allows users to take part in group chats with between two and 10,000 people, without the need for an internet connection.
Using a technology known as "mesh networking", messages can be sent to people within the immediate vicinity, as long as they too have the app installed. However, discussions are not private, and can be seen by anyone in the area.
The software is available for both Android and iOS devices, and has a range of roughly 70m (230ft). However, if enough people use the app, messages can travel over far greater distances, hopping between intermediary devices in a chain-like effect.
The app was heavily used in Taiwan earlier this year, when protesting students intent on occupying the parliament were faced with the threat of internet restrictions and limited cell coverage.
Firechat does not have access to the content of the messages.
Over the past couple of weeks, Iraqis attempting to visit social media sites have been greeted by a message saying the Ministry of Communications has barred access.
The government has also ordered the internet to be completely shut down in some provinces, where Isis militants are active.
The move was taken after Islamist insurgents used Twitter to post a graphic image of a beheaded man, and to spread propaganda messages.
Firechat, which was launched three months ago by Californian firm Open Garden, says the app's popularity in Iraq is now second only to the US.
A spokesperson for the company said the number of users in Iraq might have been underestimated, as many were using virtual private networks (VPNs), which disguise activity, to access the app.
Psiphon, a system which allows users to circumvent internet censorship, told the BBC it had seen a "huge influx" in the numbers of those using its service in Iraq.
In a small terraced house in east London, a woman and her husband argue before an Islamic scholar who sits on a dais above them in a room that looks and feels like a court.
This is Leyton Islamic Sharia Council, and Dr Suhaib Hasan will decide if the woman can have a divorce. Her husband is refusing to grant her one and the couple have been coming here for a year.
She accuses him of refusing to work, ignoring the children and verbally abusing her. He vehemently denies it. When Dr Hasan orders the husband to leave the room, the woman breaks down in tears.
"I hate him, I can't even bear to look at him, he has ruined my life," she sobs.
Dr Hasan sends the couple away for another month to try to save their marriage, with the help of Allah.
Leyton Islamic Sharia Council is Britain's oldest Islamic council and one of the most active, hearing about 50 cases a month - mainly marital disputes. Nine out of 10 are brought by Muslim women from all over the country.
Panorama: Secrets of Britain's Sharia Councils will be broadcast on Monday 22 April at 20:30 BST on BBC One
BBC One - Panorama, Secrets of Britain's Sharia Councils
With an Islamic marriage, it is far easier for a man to divorce. The only way for women is through these councils.
"We are not here just to issue divorces," says Dr Hasan.
"We want to mediate first. We try to save marriages so when people come to us we try to reconcile them."
But Islamic rulings given here are not always in the interests of the women concerned, and can run counter to British law.
In Leeds I met Sonia, a woman who suffered extreme violence from her husband, who punched and kicked her and threw her down the stairs. He also hit their son. When Sonia got a civil divorce, the courts would allow him only indirect access to the children.
Sharia courts are not allowed to interfere in child access matters, but when Sonia went to Leyton Islamic Sharia Council for a Sharia divorce, they told her she would have to give the children up to her husband.
"I couldn't bear the thought of such a violent person having my children," said Sonia.
"What was shocking was when I explained to them why he shouldn't have that access to the children, their reaction was - well, you can't go against what Islam says."
Sonia stood her ground and eventually got Leyton Islamic Sharia Council to drop their demand.
The council told BBC Panorama that when a marriage ends the question of access to children for both parents is crucial. Safety is paramount, it says, and any UK court order must be followed.
We had seen the public face of Leyton Sharia Council, but we sent an undercover reporter to see what advice they would give a vulnerable female client. Her story was that her husband was hitting her.
The government says domestic violence is a crime which should be reported to the police.
But Dr Hasan told the undercover reporter: "The police that is the very, very last resort. If he becomes so aggressive, starts hitting you, punching you of course you have to report it to the police, that is not allowed."
He went on to tell her that reporting the abuse to the police would be a final blow and she would have to leave the house and go to a refuge. He said that was a very "bad option".
His wife, a counsellor at Leyton Islamic Sharia Council, also told the undercover reporter not to go to the police but to involve the family instead.
When Leyton Islamic Sharia Council were asked about the secret filming, they said it may be essential to involve the police and other authorities in cases of domestic violence but it can be a step with irrevocable consequences.
We showed our secret footage from Leyton Islamic Sharia Council to Nazir Afzal, chief crown prosecutor for the North West.
Mr Afzal, himself a Muslim, said: "I'm disappointed but not surprised. Most of them [Sharia councils] are fine but there are some clearly like this who are putting women at risk."
He described what he had seen as "dangerous" because if people were deterred from seeking help they could suffer significant harm.
I met another woman who had tried to get a divorce from a different Sharia council in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
Ayesha's husband was in prison for violence, but Dewsbury Sharia Council told her she would have to go to mediation with him.
"I said I can't do that because he's not even allowed near my house and because I am frightened, I can't face him... but they didn't take any notice," she said.
Eventually Dewsbury Sharia Council agreed to see her without her husband but she had to face five men alone without legal representation. It took her two years to get a Sharia divorce.
Dewsbury Sharia Council said they could not comment on individual cases but they were aware of the standing and gravity of UK court orders and would never advise clients to breach them. They said they could arrange separate meetings on different days to avoid such breaches.
The women I spoke to believe it is not the Islamic code that is at fault, but the way some Sharia councils interpret it, and they want them investigated and held accountable.
Although these women eventually freed themselves from unhappy marriages, there are others condemned by religious councils to miserable lives.
Senior ministers backed the deal, which would see Mr Kabila stay on until elections are held by the end of 2017.
The country has faced a crisis since Mr Kabila failed to step down earlier in December, when his mandate expired.
Elections should have been held in November, and dozens of people have died in protests since then.
After the electoral commission cancelled the scheduled vote, citing logistical and financial difficulties in organising them, Mr Kabila formed a 74-member transitional government and said elections would be held in 2018.
Representatives of Mr Kabila and his long standing rival Etienne Tshisekedi have been locked in negotiations brokered by Catholic Church leaders since 8 December.
Neither man has yet signed the final deal, but representatives of both sides said the two men would put their names to the transition agreement later.
In the meantime, members of the government and the opposition signed it in the final minutes of 2016.
"Today, we are happy to head up a political compromise," said Archbishop Marcel Utembi, who heads the church body which mediated the talks.
Under the deal, Mr Kabila is to lead a transitional government until elections which must be held by the end of 2017.
During that period, an opposition politician will serve as prime minister.
The document states that Mr Kabila will not seek a third term. The constitution bars him from doing this, but the opposition had feared he might try to amend it to enable him to do.
Archbishop Marcel Utembi sees further challenges ahead.
"It's one thing to have a political compromise but putting it into place is another," he said, after the signing ceremony on Saturday.
DR Congo has not had a smooth transfer of power between any leaders since independence from Belgium in 1960.
Mr Kabila took over in 2001 following the assassination of his father Laurent Kabila.
"The governor has said he will make his decision public by the end of the year," a spokesman told the BBC.
Mr Carney took over as governor in June 2013 for an eight-year term, but with an option to leave after five years.
The Times reported he is likely to quit in 2018, but the FT said he is "leaning strongly" towards staying until 2021.
According to the Financial Times, Mr Carney will make an announcement this week "to put an end to damaging speculation".
Some believe the announcement could come on Thursday when Mr Carney will hold a news conference following the publication of the Bank's Quarterly Inflation Report and the announcement of the result of its latest interest rate meeting.
Nothing I have heard over the last few weeks - and I have spoken to many people in Mr Carney's inner circle - suggests to me that the Governor wants to leave in 2018.
To announce now that he will go in two years would see power immediately begin draining away.
The markets would also be left with a further layer of uncertainty to contend with.
And the voices of those politicians such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, a member of the Treasury Select Committee, and Lord Lawson, the former chancellor, who think the Governor should resign immediately given his economic warnings before the referendum, would only become louder.
I think Mr Carney would also see it as a personal defeat.
The Governor of the Bank of England, not staying to make Brexit a success, which he says it can be, but walking off the pitch at just the time the markets are calling for economic stability and certainty.

The inflation report includes an assessment of how the economy is performing and its outlook.
Given that the economy has performed well since June, Mr Carney is likely to be asked about his forecast - made before the EU referendum - that a win for the Leave campaign could be damaging for the UK economy.
According to the Financial Times, one of the reasons Mr Carney wants to stay on is to defend the Bank of England's independence against attacks from pro-Brexit campaigners who have argued that the Bank produced deliberately gloomy economic forecasts to support the Remain campaign.
During an appearance before MPs in July he denied that the Bank of England had tried to "frighten" the public by predicting a negative effect from a Brexit vote.
Prime Minister Theresa May has also been critical of the Bank's stimulus scheme for the UK economy - know as quantitative easing, or QE.
In her speech to the Conservative Party conference, she said that under QE, "people with assets had got richer, people without them had suffered".
Many politicians have made it clear they would like Mr Carney to stay on, arguing that it would provide welcome continuity for business and the economy and may help counter any uncertainty caused by the Brexit negotiations.
Speaking to the BBC on Sunday, Business Secretary Greg Clark said: "I think Mark Carney has done a tremendous job, a fantastic job, during his tenure there. It is clearly a decision for him."
Mr Clark was financial secretary to the Treasury when Mr Carney was appointed by the then Chancellor, George Osborne, in November 2012.
"I think it was a brilliant appointment," Mr Clark said.
Former Conservative business minister Anna Soubry has also expressed support for Mr Carney.
"Swift effective measures by Mark Carney mitigated post-EU referendum damage to our economy," she said in a tweet.
"Brexiteers should stop undermining Mark Carney; we're fortunate to have someone of his international standing at the helm."
Writing in The Telegraph, economist Dr Gerard Lyons, a prominent Brexit campaigner, said Mark Carney should stay on as governor, arguing "change at the top of the Bank could be unnecessarily destabilising and provide further fuel to those who want Brexit to fail".
Kathleen Brooks, research director at spread betting firm City Index, said that if Mr Carney did confirm he planned to stay on until 2021 it was likely to benefit the pound, which has fallen around 20% against the dollar since the Brexit vote.
"If this story is true, then it is a beacon of stability during a period of uncertainty for the UK economy, which should benefit the currency and stocks alike," she said.
The US research in more than 250,000 people found depression was more common among frequent consumers of artificially sweetened beverages.
The work, which will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting, did not look at the cause for this link.
Drinking coffee was linked with a lower risk of depression.
People who drank four cups a day were 10% less likely to be diagnosed with depression during the 10-year study period than those who drank no coffee.
But those who drank four cans or glasses of diet fizzy drinks or artificially sweetened juice a day increased their risk of depression by about a third.
Lead researcher Dr Honglei Chen, of the National Institutes of Health in North Carolina, said: "Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk."
But he said more studies were needed to explore this.
There are many other factors that may be involved.
And the findings - in people in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s and living in the US - might not apply to other populations.
The safety of sweeteners, like aspartame, has been extensively tested by scientists and is assured by regulators.
Gaynor Bussell, of the British Dietetic Association, said: "Sweeteners used to be called 'artificial' sweeteners and unfortunately the term 'artificial' has evoked suspicion. As a result, sweeteners have been very widely tested and reviewed for safety and the ones on the market have an excellent safety track record.
"However, the studies on them continue and this one has thrown up a possibly link - not a cause and effect - with depression."
She said the study was a "one-off" and did not mean that sweeteners caused depression.
"For a start, people who suffer from depression may latch on to the idea that it is their sweetened beverages that caused it and so add a bias to their reporting of past intake, especially as 'soda' in the US is demonised even more than in the UK. Also, it may be that drinking 'diet' drinks is a marker for obesity or diabetes which in themselves can cause depression.
"Non-calorific sweeteners can play a useful role in the diets of those trying to lose weight and diabetics and it is certainly not advocated that people should replace their diet sodas with more coffee."
Beth Murphy, at the mental health charity Mind, said: "We would urge anyone who is affected by depression to follow the advice of their GP or other medical professional in regards to their treatment."

The match on Court Two was halted for bad light just after 21:00 BST on Friday and when played resumed on Saturday, the 24th seed immediately broke France's Tsonga to win 6-2 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 1-6 7-5.
Grigor Dimitrov is also through after Israel's Dudi Sela retired with injury.
The Bulgarian was leading 6-1 6-1.
Sela lost the first set in 23 minutes before he called for the trainer and then went off court for a medical time-out to treat a leg injury.
He returned 10 minutes later, but retired immediately after 13th seed Dimitrov had won the second set.

Querrey, who knocked out Novak Djokovic on his way to the quarter-finals last year, said: "After such a great match it was a bit of an anti-climax in the end.
"I've been in that situation before (coming out to serve to stay in a match) and it's tough."
Tsonga, the 12th seed, smashed a ball out of the court after the defeat.
"I'm frustrated because I lost and I stayed two minutes on court today," he said.
When he was asked if the match should have been halted on Friday, he replied: "I was OK with that. It's not a problem. If I come and win my game, we continue.
"It's just part of the game. I did what I had to do. Unfortunately it didn't work."
Tsonga had faced a similar fate at the French Open, when his first-round tie against Renzo Olivo was stopped for bad light.
They returned the following day, only for Tsonga to lose after one game.

It has been locked in conflict with the Palestinians and its Arab neighbours over ownership of land considered holy by many Jews, Christians and Muslims since its creation in 1948.
The division of the former British Mandate of Palestine and the creation of the State of Israel in the years after the end of World War II was the culmination of the Zionist movement, whose aim was a homeland for Jews hitherto scattered all over the world.
After the Nazi Holocaust, pressure grew for the international recognition of a Jewish state, and in 1948 Israel declared its independence following a UN vote to partition Palestine.
Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
Much of the history of the area since that time has been one of conflict between Israel on one side and Palestinians - represented by the Palestine Liberation Organisation - and Israel's Arab neighbours, on the other. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs were displaced in the fighting in 1948, during which Israel's Arab neighbours came to the aid of the Arab Higher Committee in Palestine. Israel lost one percent of its population in the fighting, which ended in a series of uneasy armistices.
Israel has developed from an agrarian state run along collectivist lines into a hi-tech economy in the past 60 years. It has absorbed Jewish immigrants from Europe, the rest of the Middle East, North America and, most recently, the former Soviet Union and Ethiopia along the way.
Its political life has nonetheless been dominated by the conflict with its Arab neighbours, including full-scale regional wars in 1948, 1967 and 1973, and many smaller-scale conflicts including the 1956 invasion of Egypt and the Lebanon wars of 1982 and 2006.
Relations with the Palestinians have been a major factor in foreign and security policy. The Palestinians in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem have lived under Israeli occupation since 1967. The settlements that Israel has built in the West Bank are home to nearly 500,000 people and are deemed to be illegal under international law, although Israel disputes this.
Israel evacuated its settlers from the Gaza Strip in 2005 and withdrew its forces, ending almost four decades of military presence inside Gaza. Israel continues to control Gaza's air space and coastal approaches, on the basis of which the UN considers Gaza still to be occupied territory. After the militant Islamic group Hamas reinforced its power in Gaza in June 2007, Israel intensified its economic blockade of the Strip. In 2008 and in 2014 it launched major military assaults on Gaza to halt cross-border rocket attacks.
In 1979 Egypt and Israel signed a peace agreement, but it wasn't until the early 1990s, after years of an uprising known as the intifada, that a peace process began with the Palestinians. Despite the handover of Gaza and parts of the West Bank to Palestinian control, a final agreement has yet to be reached.
The main stumbling blocks include the status of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees and their descendants, Jewish settlements, and attacks by Palestinian armed groups.
The group, known as Leeds Voice for the Homeless pitched dozens of tents at four different sites.
They claim the protest helped secure permanent or temporary housing for 31 homeless people.
The council says 15 people already had accommodation, but another 10 have been given a place to stay.
It added that six other people had been refused help and could not receive support "due to their status in this country".
In a statement, the council said: "The ultimate aim of the protesters, council and our partners have been met and we've been able to help people in need.
"We hope this demonstrates what can be achieved by working constructively and positively with those that provide services rather than working against us."
The group started its protest on the 21 September by pitching tents in Victoria Gardens outside the city's art gallery.
The camp was moved to make way for the Yorkshire Olympic athletes' homecoming parade after Leeds City Council obtained a court order.
The group then moved to Park Square, where more than 70 tents were put up.
After a hearing at Leeds county court, the council agreed to let the group use the site of the city's former international swimming pool for six weeks.
They then moved to their final site on University of Leeds land.
During the campaign the group used tents that had been abandoned at Leeds Festival and were given to the city's homeless.
"I just hope that Leeds City Council now realise that the public want the homeless to be given help and supported accommodation, not hidden away, excluded from the city centre and buried in statistics," said Simon Rickets, a volunteer with the group.

Scotland's Economy Secretary Keith Brown has written to UK ministers calling for protection of the Scotch whisky industry.
The industry is worth about £4bn to Scotland in exports. An EU definition of whisky currently protects sales from sub-standard products.
The UK government said it would support the industry so it continued to thrive.
Mr Brown's call follows International Trade Secretary Liam Fox's visit to the US last week.
The economy secretary said: "Aside from being a key part of Scottish culture and identity, our whisky industry supports around 20,000 jobs.
"The US made clear in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership discussions that they would support a relaxation of the definition of whisky, which would open the market up to a number of products which do not currently meet that standard."
He added: "It is vital that we continue to have robust legal protection of Scotch whisky, which is why I have sought clarification from the UK government as to whether Scotch whisky featured in discussions during last week's trade visit by the Secretary of State for International Trade.
"I am also demanding that the current EU regulations are guaranteed post-Brexit.
"After reports this week that the UK government is contemplating trade deals that threaten the value and reputation of Scottish produce, once again we can see the confusion which is at the heart of the UK government's Brexit position.
"We need to be sure that any future deals work for Scotland and are not threatening the livelihoods of our farmers and producers."
He said all four UK governments should have oversight of the negotiations to ensure, as far as possible, "that the right outcomes for everyone are secured".
A UK government spokeswoman said: "Scotch is a UK export success story and we will support the industry so that it continues to thrive and prosper post-Brexit.
"The UK government has a strong relationship with the Scotch Whisky Association and is working closely with the industry as we aim to secure the best possible deal for the whole of the UK."
The Manchester United left-back was a regular starter for England before he broke his leg in a Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven on 15 September.
Hodgson wants United to allow Shaw to prove his fitness before 12 May.
"Yeah, absolutely [the door is open]. All that remains is for him to get fit enough to be selected," said Hodgson.
"Luke Shaw's a player we believe in, we think is an excellent talent. We think he will be a major competitor with the other left-backs for a place in the squad."
Hodgson will announce his squad for the summer's European Championships on 12 May.
Tottenham's Danny Rose and Southampton's Ryan Bertrand have been selected at left-back for England's upcoming friendlies against France and the Netherlands.
United boss Louis van Gaal originally said Shaw would be out for at least six months and named the defender in their Europa League squad to give him a target for his recovery.
Hodgson added that he would be "disappointed" if United do not play Shaw before the end of the season, but admits that decision is "in the hands of the club".
"If they [United] decide they don't want to risk him in the final games, they do want to hold him back, they want to give him a pre-season to get 100% fit, there's not much I can do," he said.
"I would be a little bit disappointed in that I think the player deserves the opportunity, if he is fully fit, to be given a chance of being selected."
The baton has been welcomed officially by Culture and Sport Minister John Griffiths.
It will now spend a week visiting communities and landmarks around the country.
Sporting heroes, TV stars and pillars of the community are among 177 people carrying the baton in a relay around the country.
It will travel 731 miles (1,176km) in Wales visiting sights such as Snowdon's summit and Dylan Thomas's boathouse.
The Queen's Baton Relay is the curtain raiser to the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow which start on 23 July.
The baton has been travelling around 70 nations and territories across the world since October last year and will be in Wales until 30 May.
In Wales, BBC presenter Alex Jones, former athlete Iwan Thomas and a survivor of a 1960 mining disaster will be part of the relay.
Others include Paralympic champion Aled Davies and Commonwealth gold medal winners Kirsty Wade and Michaela Breeze.
BATON RELAY ROUTE IN WALES
•Day one (24 May): Abertillery, Ebbw Vale, Tredegar
•Day two: Aberdare, Llandrindod Wells
•Day three: Urdd Eisteddfod, Bala
•Day four: Laugharne, Carmarthen, Ammanford, Llanelli
•Day five: St David's, Machynlleth
•Day six: Llanberis, Beaumaris, Menai Strait, Caernarfon
•Day seven: Rhyl, Moel Famau, Ruthin, Llandegla
The relay - similar to the Olympic torch event - was first introduced at the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff in 1958 and has taken place in some form ever since.
Following the success of the Olympic torch relay before London 2012, thousands of people are expected to greet the baton in Wales.
After flying in from Northern Ireland, the baton will visit the south Wales valleys taking in Ebbw Vale and Tredegar in Blaenau Gwent, and Merthyr Tydfil.
One of the first people to carry it in Wales will be 82-year-old former miner Joseph Price, from Abertillery, a survivor of the Six Bells mining disaster in Monmouthshire in 1960 who helped rescue those trapped underground.
In Merthyr, members of the family of Welsh world champion boxer Howard Winstone, who won gold at the 1958 Games in Cardiff, will be involved in the relay.
The baton moves on to Rhondda Cynon Taf on Sunday where 74-year-old Norman Richards will take it in Aberdare, some 56 years since he first carried it during the ground-breaking baton relay before the Cardiff Games.
It then spends the day at the Urdd Eisteddfod in Bala, Gwynedd, where Olympic and Commonwealth Games medallist Thomas features, before it heads to south west Wales. At Laugharne in Carmarthenshire the baton will visit Dylan Thomas's boathouse, one of many events to mark 100 years since the poet's birth.
On Wednesday one of the highlights will be when the baton is blessed by the Bishop of St Davids, the Right Reverend Wyn Evans, in the grounds of St Davids Cathedral in Pembrokeshire before a visit to Machynlleth in Powys.
It heads to north west Wales on Thursday where it will be taken to the 1,085m (3,560 feet) summit of Snowdon.
It will also travel up the Menai Strait by boat with The One Show presenter Jones and take part in a cycling relay with former British Cycling chief Sir Dave Brailsford, who grew up in Deiniolen, Gwynedd.
The baton's trip around Wales finishes on Friday in north east Wales where it heads to Rhyl, Moel Famau, Ruthin and, lastly, Llandegla.
Chris Jenkins, chief executive of the Commonwealth Games Council for Wales, said organisers realised the relay presented a fantastic opportunity for the country and its Games team.
"It's got seven days here, a bank holiday, it's just before the Games and we thought we could go to smaller places and many of them," he said.
"The anchor was the Bank Holiday Monday at the Urdd Eisteddfod.
"We also wanted to take it to some iconic places like Laugharne for the Dylan Thomas anniversary, and we wanted to do something in Snowdonia."
THE BATON IN WALES
• The baton is spending seven days in Wales
• It will travel 731 miles
• 177 people will carry it
• The baton passes through 11 of Wales' 22 local authorities
• It will travel by air, boat, bike, car and train
• The youngest baton bearer is nine years old and the oldest 82
He said it was hard to gauge how many people would greet the relay but, judging from the publicity and response so far, he expected it to be "fantastic".
"On one day people are coming over from Canada to see a member of their family carry the baton in Aberdare," he added.
"I hope people will come out and cheer everybody on."
He said organisers wanted to use the baton relay to build support for the Wales team.
The relay for the Glasgow Games was started by the Queen at Buckingham Palace back in October last year.
The baton's 118,000 miles (190,000 km) trip is far longer than the Olympic Torch relay.
The baton contains a message from the Queen which will be revealed at the opening ceremony in Glasgow on 23 July.
The assaults took place in Beccles, Suffolk, and in the Hales and Thetford areas of Norfolk between 1999 and 2003.
Rodney Scott, 72, of Firfield Close, Beccles, had already pleaded guilty to eight counts of indecent assault at Ipswich Crown Court.
He was given a prison sentence of six years and eight months.
Det Con Kate Bond said: "The victim has to be commended for her courage in coming forward and reporting the incidents to us, and she wanted to say that she has been overwhelmed by the support offered to her by the team and the belief that they have shown in her.
"The result at court today has exceeded her expectations." | Paralympic silver and bronze medallist Charlotte Henshaw has retired from swimming and taken up canoeing.

Long-range shots from Football League Young Player of the Month Ollie Watkins and Christian Ribeiro levelled matters.

Shrien Dewani, 33, from Bristol, is expected to leave London and arrive in Cape Town on 8 April.
He has been fighting a return to South Africa to face the charges, which he denies, over the death of his wife Anni in November 2010.
The extradition date was confirmed by South Africa's Department for Justice.
Mr Dewani lost his latest appeal against extradition at the start of March.
Following this a 28-day period during which he must be extradited was triggered - which is due to end on 14 April.
His legal team had wanted the appeal to be heard in the highest court in the land - the Supreme Court - but this was refused by a panel of judges.
The team still has the option of an appeal at the European Court of Human Rights.
Anni Dewani's uncle Ashok Hindocha said the family had waited a long time for answers.
"We thought at the beginning that this is going to be a very quick case where Shrien would fly down to South Africa and stand trial and answer all the questions that is going to be given to him," he said.
"We waited three and a half years. I hope we don't have to wait another three and a half but if so, we will wait, we will fight to the very end."
The businessman is being compulsorily detained under the Mental Health Act after being diagnosed as suffering from severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
In January, the High Court ruled it would not be "unjust and oppressive" to extradite Mr Dewani providing that assurances were received from South Africa about the length of time he would be kept in the country without trial.
Those assurances have been given.
Prosecutors in South Africa allege Mr Dewani ordered the killing of his 28-year-old wife, who was a Swedish national.
The charge dates back to November 2010 when the pair were held at gunpoint while driving through Gugulethu, a township near Cape Town, in a taxi.
Mr Dewani escaped unharmed but his wife's body was found the following day.
Three men have been convicted over Mrs Dewani's death.
South African Xolile Mngeni was convicted of premeditated murder for shooting her and jailed for life. Prosecutors claimed he was hired to carry out the killing.
The couple's taxi driver Zola Tongo was jailed for 18 years after he admitted his part in the killing and another accomplice, Mziwamadoda Qwabe, also pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Making the announcement in Oslo, the head of the Norwegian Nobel committee said Mr Liu was "the foremost symbol" of the human rights struggle in China.
Several countries including the US, France and Germany, called for his immediate release.
China said the award could damage ties with Norway, and summoned the country's ambassador in Beijing in protest.
Norwegian Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland admitted he knew the choice would be controversial.
He told local television before the announcement: "You'll understand when you hear the name."
Mr Jagland, reading the citation, said China's new status in the world "must entail increased responsibility".
"China is in breach of several international agreements to which it is a signatory, as well as of its own provisions concerning political rights."
By Martin PatienceBBC News, Beijing
In the weeks leading up to this announcement, Beijing was very strong in its statements. It said that Liu Xiaobo was not a suitable candidate. Beijing regards him as a criminal and said the award could damage relations between China and Norway.
Many Chinese people will see this as an attack by the West on what they stand for and certainly many nationalists will see this as an example of the West trying to demonise China.
The statement of the Nobel Peace Prize committee will not get a lot of traction with ordinary people. The authorities have very effectively given him no publicity whatsoever.
Mr Jagland said that, in practice, freedoms enshrined in China's constitution had "proved to be distinctly curtailed for China's citizens".
He said the choice of Mr Liu had become clear early in the selection process.
Mr Liu, 54, was a key leader in the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
Last year he received an 11-year sentence for "inciting subversion" after drafting Charter 08 - which called for multi-party democracy and respect for human rights in China.
The Nobel Foundation citation read: "Liu has consistently maintained that the sentence violates both China's own constitution and fundamental human rights."
It praised Mr Liu for his "long and non-violent struggle" and highlighted its belief in a "close connection between human rights and peace".
Ending the citation, Mr Jagland said: "The campaign to establish universal human rights in China is being waged by many Chinese, both in China itself and abroad.
"Through the severe punishment meted out to him, Liu has become the foremost symbol of this wide-ranging struggle for human rights in China."
Beijing quickly condemned the award, saying it could damage China-Norway relations.
Foreign ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said: "Liu Xiaobo is a criminal who violated Chinese law. It's a complete violation of the principles of the prize and an insult to the peace prize itself for the Nobel committee to award the prize to such a person."
Later Norway said its ambassador in Beijing had been summoned to the Chinese foreign ministry.
"They wanted to officially share their... disagreement and their protest," a Norwegian spokeswoman said.
"We emphasised that this is an independent committee and the need to continue good bilateral relations," she added.
Unlike other Nobel prizes, which are administered in Sweden, the peace prize is awarded in Oslo by a committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament.
Which countries have most Nobels?
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg said it would be "negative for China's reputation in the world" if it chose to punish his country over the award.
Mr Liu's wife, Liu Xia, said she was "so excited" by the award.
She told AFP news agency: "I want to thank everyone for supporting Liu Xiaobo. I strongly ask that the Chinese government release Liu."
Mrs Liu said police had informed her they would take her to Mr Liu's prison in the north-eastern province of Liaoning on Saturday so she could give him the news.
The prize is worth 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.5m; £944,000) and will be awarded in Oslo on 10 December.
US President Barack Obama said Mr Liu had "has sacrificed his freedom for his beliefs" and called for his speedy release.
German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said China should free him so he could attend the ceremony.
France's Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner also welcomed the award and also called on China to release Mr Liu.
UN human rights commissioner Navi Pillay said the prize recognised a "very prominent human rights defender".
The London-based rights group Amnesty International said Mr Liu was a "worthy winner".
But Catherine Baber, Amnesty's deputy Asia-Pacific director, added: "This award can only make a real difference if it prompts more international pressure on China to release Liu, along with the numerous other prisoners of conscience languishing in Chinese jails."
No candidates are announced ahead of the peace prize but others mentioned in the media included Afghan women's rights activist Sima Samar, Russian human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina, former German chancellor Helmut Kohl and Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
The Nobel committee had to defend last year's controversial peace prize choice of US President Barack Obama.
Eilish MacSherry, 41, admitted causing the death of 49-year-old father of two Paul Mills by dangerous driving and drink driving in October 2015.
She will serve four-and-a half years in prison and the remainder on licence.
She also pleaded guilty to failing to stop following a collision with another car just before the fatal crash.
A prosecution lawyer said "had she stopped at the time she would have saved the life of Mr Mills and not put anyone else in danger.
The court heard that cars had to swerve out of her way as she entered the 40mph limit on the Clanabogan Road at a speed of over 80mph on the wrong side of the carriageway before colliding head on with Mr Mill's stationary car.
She was also found to have taken a number of prescription drugs which would have significantly impaired her driving.
A defence lawyer said the accident should never have happened and that "a life has been lost that should never have been lost."
He said his client accepted she was "entirely responsible" and "she offers her deepest regret and the most fulsome apology she can".
He said MacSherry, of Brookmount Heights in Omagh, had been a serving police officer from a Catholic background describing her as "a role model for the new police service and had dedicated her life to community policing in Belleek and Kesh".
The judge read the victim impact report from Paul Mills' widow Anne which described how her "whole world turned upside down with two policemen at the door".
Mrs Mills wrote that telling her children was "the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
"The screams of one, and the quiet sobs of the other will stay with me for the rest of my life."
"Their idyllic childhood was brought to an abrupt end by a person who should not have been driving that night."
The defence lawyer said MacSherry had been a "chronic alcohol addict" for two years and had suffered from the breakdown of her marriage in the days before the crash.
At the time of the accident she was wearing her pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers and had no recollection of what happened.
MEPs will vote on a timetable to stop crews discarding unwanted fish - a common practice under current quotas.
They will also decide on long-term plans to protect stocks from overfishing, and whether to allow fisheries management to shift to a regional level.
A fishing alliance, Europeche, says the reforms are too sudden and too radical.
With an estimated 75% of Europe’s stocks overfished, there has been enormous public and media pressure over this latest attempt to shake up the CFP.
The reform package before the full parliament follows a Fisheries Committee report by the German Social Democrat MEP Ulrike Rodust.
She said the reforms “will bring an end to the December ritual of fisheries ministers negotiating until 4 am, neglecting scientific advice and setting too high fishing quotas.
“As of 2015, the principle of maximum sustainable yield shall apply, which means that each year we do not harvest more fish than a stock can reproduce. Our objective is that depleted fish stocks recover by 2020. Not only nature will benefit, but also fishermen: bigger stocks produce higher yields.”
She said fishermen had to be helped through a transitional period as fishing capacity shrank to allow stocks to recover.
Ian Campbell from Ocean2012, a coalition of more than 170 organisations, told BBC News: “This is an historic opportunity. Now is the time for MEPs to listen to their constituents and demonstrate to EU fisheries ministers that the tough decisions can, and must, be made.”
Spanish MEP Carmen Fraga of the centre-right European People’s Party (EPP) is leading opposition to the proposals. The EPP says the discards ban should be studied further, as boats are not equipped to measure or store all the fish they land.
The party - the biggest grouping in the parliament - maintains that the proposal for catch limits from 2015, so that stocks can recover, is “rigid and unrealistic”. The EPP urges gradual implementation by 2020.
This vote in parliament really matters because MEPs are sharing power on the issue for the first time.
Agreement does look possible on plans to support small-scale coastal boats, by awarding them extra catch quotas if they fish sustainably.
Steve Rodgers, a fisherman and fishmonger from Seaton in the UK’s West Country, is a member of a Greenpeace campaign on behalf of artisanal fleets.
He told BBC News: “After many years it does look slightly hopeful. It could all go wrong, but I am daring to hope that it might go right.”
Another local fisherman, Angus Walker, said: “I have been fishing since the 1960s. We have had some very bad times but things have never looked as promising as they do now. But let’s wait and see. You never know with Europe.”
There also seems broad support for devolving fisheries management to a regional level – an issue promoted by the UK. Its Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon has written to MEPs, saying: “The reform is a unique and long-awaited opportunity to address the failings of the past.
“The public are outraged by the terrible waste caused by fishermen being forced to discard perfectly good fish. They cannot comprehend the EU’s failure to manage our fish stocks sustainably and the insistence on centralised micro-management from Brussels.”
For environmentalists this reform will be one step in a journey: they want fisheries to recover to something approaching the level where they once were. That would take policies far more radical than these, as one study suggested that over 118 years of industrial fishing, the productivity of one fishery in the UK dropped by 94%.

The Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) said it was inevitable the UK's defence spending would drop below the Nato target of 2% of GDP.
Its report says the combined strength of the Army, Navy and RAF could fall from 145,000 to 115,000 by 2020.
David Cameron said further reductions in forces were not necessary.
Neither the Conservatives nor Labour have committed to the Nato target.
Britain currently just meets the 2% target, but the current government is committed only to continuing that until the end of this Parliament.
Rusi's findings are likely to increase the pressure on the prime minister from Conservative MPs who want a manifesto commitment to maintain the Nato target.
However, the report explains that, with GDP projected to grow over the next five years, it means defence spending would also need to increase significantly in order to keep pace with the 2% threshold.
"In the context of wider austerity in public spending, such an increase is not plausible," the paper states.
"The government is not yet convinced that strategic security risks are high enough to justify an exemption for defence from austerity."
Under the "optimistic scenario" whereby defence spending was ringfenced alongside health and schools, the paper said there would still have to be cutbacks of around 15,000 across the three services.
Under the report's "most pessimistic, but still plausible, scenario", up to 30,000 jobs could be axed.
This would be on top of the thousands of jobs that have already been axed since a restructuring of the armed forces began in 2010.
Report author Malcolm Chalmers said: "Over the last five years personnel have taken most of the savings of the defence budget, and looking forward the equipment budget has got so many demands on it, not least from the programme to replace the submarines that carry our nuclear deterrent but also in relation to the aircraft carrier."
He told BBC Radio 4's the World at One programme that a 2% commitment was unrealistic because it would involve giving defence a higher budget priority than the NHS and education.
Mr Chalmers added that at the last Nato summit in September there was a "disconnect" between what Mr Cameron was saying would be spent on defence and what the Treasury was saying in any of its documents.
He said: "I think there will be a significant reputational cost for the UK, if and when it falls below the 2%.
"There's no point in hiding that fact and that cost will be particularly with the United States.
"Even if we protect the defence budget and fall below 2% there will still be a reputational cost and a difficult conversation to be had between the prime minister and the president."

David Cameron said: "The equipment budget in defence over the next 10 years, will grow in real terms under a Conservative government making sure that vital equipment we have ordered - the aircraft carriers, the frigates, the destroyers, the hunter killer submarines, that all of that can be delivered.
"And we have also said that we do not have to see further reductions in the regular forces.
"But again I would say you can't have strong defence without a strong economy."
Conservative MP and former defence minister Sir Gerald Howarth said the government needed to get its priorities straight.
He said: "I think that there is a growing campaign not just for 2%, but for 2% to be the minimum.
"Given the resurgent Russia, which has increased its defence expenditure by 50% in the last five years - this is a dangerous world, this is not a time to be cutting our defences in any case."
"If you ask me where I would say you make the savings - you make it in overseas aid," he said.
The Ministry of Defence said the full-time strength of the Armed Forces stood at 145,690 at the start of this year.
In January 2010, before the restructure, the equivalent figure was 176,600.
A native of the Bloomfield area, the midfielder made 56 appearances for Northern Ireland during a glittering career that included a 10-year spell at Tottenham Hotspur.
In that time, he captained the side to the league-and-cup double in 1961.
In 2009, The Times ranked him as the greatest player in the history of Spurs.
Now the man, who once said "the game is about glory", will be honoured by the Ulster History Circle, who are finalising plans to place a blue plaque in commemoration.
Blue plaques are awarded for individuals who have a made a unique and lasting contribution to Northern Ireland's history.
According to the organisation's chairman, Chris Spurr, there are dozens of people under consideration.
However with last year marking the 20th anniversary of the footballer's death, Mr Spurr said the time was now right to honour him.
"It is very competitive and we have quite a long list of people waiting to receive plaques," he said.
"However Danny Blanchflower has got to the top of the list because he has been dead for 20 years and it is a good idea to honour him at this time.
"Our rule is that a person cannot be considered until they have been dead 20 years, because it gives a bit of thinking time to consider the person's status and also avoid anything coming out after their death."
It is expected the plaque will be placed at a home in east Belfast where the Blanchflower family lived for a period of time, pending permission from the current home owners.
"We're hoping to have it up by the summer," added Mr Spurr.
For Danny's daughter, Gayle, the honour came as a "delightful surprise".
"I will never ever get over how he's still remember after all these years," she added. "Not just by the Northern Irish people, but throughout the world."
To her, the honour is not just testament to her father's sporting exploits, but also his natural charisma and remarkable life.
In 1943, the young Blanchflower lied about his age in order to join the RAF where he served with Welsh actor Richard Burton.
The RAF then awarded him a scholarship to St Andrews to study maths, physics and applied kinetics.
Gayle said: "He wasn't the greatest runner as a footballer, but he applied his brains to the tactics of the game."
Sports broadcaster Jackie Fullerton agreed. He said: "His brains were so sharp, he read the game beautifully and could pick a pass.
"Most footballers kick a ball, but Danny Blanchflower was one of those players who had that class and charisma. He caressed the ball.
"He was a footballer, journalist, philosopher, raconteur, engaging company and a wonderful man."
After being voted footballer of the year in 1958 and 1961, he was considered one of the best players in the UK.
However despite the increased attention, the Belfast man still valued his privacy.
In 1961, while live on-air, he turned down an invitation to appear on This Is Your Life.
Jackie said: "The presenter, Eamonn Andrews, cornered Danny who said, 'no I'm sorry, I'm not going on'. Because it was live, it threw the whole programme and BBC into chaos."
He also recalled another occasion when, as manager of Northern Ireland, the former Spurs man was being interviewed by journalists ahead of a game against the Netherlands.
Jackie said: "I remember the journalists asked him if the game would be won or lost in midfield.
"And Danny, in that wonderful voice of his, said, 'well, the goalposts are at either end of the pitch. I've never seen a goal scored in midfield'.
"These guys were completely bemused by this wonderful man."
The bear was lost in Dingwall, according to a tweet from the force.
Officers based in Ross and Cromarty asked if people in the town could keep a look out for the youngster's favourite bear.
The missing bear is brown and fluffy.
The cash-strapped National League club is currently up for sale, but despite their financial problems Phillips says a new stadium is the best way forward.
"We're looking ahead to a new ground. It's not absolutely concrete yet, but it's very, very likely that we'll be in in about three years," Phillips said.
"When we get to that stage we'll become a self-sustaining club. It's just in the meantime we need financing."
The Gulls first mooted moving to a new ground on the outskirts of the town in February, and have been at their current Plainmoor home for the past 105 years.
Torbay Council own Plainmoor, which ultimately proved to be the stumbling block as a takeover bid for the club faltered last week.
Phillips says a developer would build the ground and give it to the Gulls, but benefit from developing other businesses on land adjacent to the new stadium.
And Phillips says a ground with a synthetic pitch, which could be hired out to other users, would allow the club to be financially viable.
"You have 3G pitches, various sports going on, it's going to be open to all the community, not just Torquay United," he told BBC Sport.
"Torquay United would be the holders of that ground, we'll make money and everyone will get benefits from that.
"I know the council are very keen on this happening, so that's the future, and it's a great future, we just have to survive the next few years."
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said it would be "totally wrong" for the visit to go ahead later this year.
A petition to stop it has reached over 300,000 meaning it will be considered for debate in Parliament.
The visit was announced during PM May's trip to the US - no date has been set.
Downing Street were asked for a response to the calls to cancel. A spokesman said: "We extended the invite and it was accepted."
Speaking on ITV's Peston on Sunday, Mr Corbyn said: "I think we should make it very clear we are extremely upset about it, and I think it would be totally wrong for him to be coming here while that situation is going on.
"I think he has to be challenged on this. I am not happy with him coming here until that ban is lifted, quite honestly."
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron backed the call. He said: "Any visit by President Trump to Britain should be on hold until his disgraceful ban comes to an end.
"Otherwise Theresa May would be placing the Queen in an impossible position of welcoming a man who is banning British citizens purely on grounds of their faith."
Alex Salmond, the SNP's foreign affairs spokesman, said he thought the state visit was "a very bad idea".
Also appearing on Sky News' Sophy Ridge, he said: "You shouldn't be rushing into a headlong relationship with the President of the United States."
Mr Salmond said reports Mr Trump was reluctant to meet Prince Charles during the visit were "an indication of the sort of enormous difficulties you get into when you hold somebody tight who is unpredictable, who has a range of views you find unacceptable."
And Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the visit should not happen while the executive order was in place.
He told Sky News: "I am quite clear, this ban is cruel, this ban is shameful, while this ban is in place we should not be rolling out the red carpet for President Trump."
Graham Guest, who started the petition, said he wanted it to "put the spotlight" on Mr Trump.
He told the Press Association: "A state visit legitimises his presidency and he will use the photo opportunities and being seen with the Queen to get re-elected.
"The wording in the petition is quite precise as I actually say that he should come here as the head of government to do government-to-government business.
"At the end of the day he is still the president and we've just got to live with that. But there's no reason why he should get all the pomp and publicity of a state visit."
Former shadow cabinet member Chuka Umunna also backed the calls to cancel the trip.
"State visits happen at the instigation of governments and, of course, you have got a prime minister who you want to have a decent working relationship with a US president.
"But they need to understand, just as they will put America first, we will put British values first."
Paddy Ashdown, former leader of the Liberal Democrats, has questioned the state visit on Twitter.
He wrote: "Am I alone in finding it impossible to bear that in pursuit of her deeply wrong-headed policies our PM is now forcing THAT MAN on our Queen?"
Conservative MP for Totnes, Sarah Wollaston, earlier tweeted that the US President should not be invited to address the Houses of Parliament, saying Westminster Hall "should be reserved for leaders who have made an outstanding positive difference in the world".
There is already speculation that the government might seek to push through a vote on renewing the Trident nuclear deterrent, if only to keep Labour off-balance. It would be hard to do that without notice, but the next business statement might well flag up an impending vote, perhaps before Christmas.
Watch out, too, for a euro-statement or urgent question at some point this week; the President of the EU Commission, Donald Tusk, is to write to all EU leaders outlining his assessment of Britain's demands for EU reform, and there is certain to be considerable interest in his verdict.
Here's my rundown of the week ahead:
The Commons meets at 14:30 GMT for work and pensions questions and when they conclude there is always an excellent chance of a ministerial statement or urgent question.
The day's legislative business is to polish off the report and third reading of the Cities and Local Government Devolution Bill. Report stage offers a number of contentious amendments from critics of plans to create big city metro-mayors who will preside over strategic super-authorities covering several existing councils.
New Clause 8, proposed by 1922 committee chair, Graham Brady, former cabinet minister Cheryl Gillan and influential backbencher Nigel Evans aims to create a "cooling off period" for the transfer of any power to a combined authority. If a member council in a combined authority requests that a power is returned to it in the year after its local elections, then the secretary of state would have to ensure that happened.
Another new clause, NC9, requires that member councils in a combined authority are consulted on any major healthcare reorganisation in their area, not just the combined authority being consulted, and another would allow a constituent part of a combined authority to leave on "fair terms" without the combined authority being dissolved.
Then there is an amendment (no 2) from an impressive list of Tory awkward squaddies (including Graham Brady, again, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Peter Bone, Dr Sarah Wollaston, and former cabinet minister David Jones). It would require that elected mayors would be introduced only if approved by a referendum, most cities rejected mayors in referendums held under the coalition.
In Westminster Hall, MPs will debate an e-petition "Don't kill our bees!" It demands an immediate halt to the use of Neonicotinoids, a type of pesticide in agricultural use that controls pests such as aphids and grubs. Opponents claim it gets into the pollen rendering it deadly to bees and other pollinators. Neonicotinoids are banned in several countries. The government says it is committed to protecting bees and maintaining a range of pollinators, but its decisions on pesticides are based on recommendations from independent experts who have studied the evidence.
In the Lords (14.30 GMT) peers will nod through the third reading of the National Insurance Contributions (Rate Ceilings) Bill. The main business is the Welfare Reform and Work Bill, committee (day 1), key issues include those on limiting child tax credit and Universal Credit to two children and reporting obligations on child poverty.
That is followed by a short debate on defence and security cooperation with UK European partners in NATO and the EU, led by the Liberal Democrat former Foreign Office minister, Lord Wallace of Saltaire,
The Commons meets at 11.30 GMT for justice questions.
One possible subject for a ministerial statement is the publication of a review in to how the world can tackle overuse of antibiotics in livestock to fight the rise of superbugs. David Cameron tasked Lord Jim O'Neill to investigate the issue.
Reflecting his contribution to the Syria debate, the Liberal Democrat Leader Tim Farron presents a bill on asylum for unaccompanied children from places like Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Eritrea, who have been displaced by conflict.
Then, MPs have up to four hours to consider amendments made in the Lords to the European Union Referendum Bill, will they strike down the amendment which called for "Votes at 16?" And what about the 10 week obligation for the foreign secretary to provide a report on renegotiation terms to the House?
The next item is a motion from the Home Office minister, James Brokenshire calling for Britain to opt into the European Prüm agreement to tackle serious and organised crime through shared DNA and fingerprint databases.
In Westminster Hall the big debates are Ian Austin's on access to medicines for people with cystic fibrosis and other rare diseases (09.30 - 11 GMT) and Caroline Spelman's on marriage registration certificates (14.30 - 16:00 GMT)
In the Lords (14:30 GMT) two new peers take their seats: Baroness Fall (Kate Fall, the deputy chief of staff for David Cameron), and Baroness Primarolo (former Deputy Speaker of the Commons and long-serving Labour minister, Dawn Primarolo).
The main legislating is detailed consideration of the Scotland Bill at committee stage, the key issues are; constitutional, the Crown Estate and quality in the public sector.
The Commons opens (11.30 GMT) with Cabinet Office questions, held over from Wednesday to make time for the Syria debate. Prime minister's questions follows and then there is a bill from the DUP's Sammy Wilson on the Armed Forces Covenant (Implementation), the DUP take the view that the implementation of the military covenant is long overdue and that the Syrian intervention underlines the importance of doing the right thing by service personnel and their families.
The day's main business is a pair of Labour opposition debates, first on mental health, then on the effect of the autumn statement measures on women.
In Westminster Hall (09:30 GMT) the Conservative Henry Bellingham leads a debate on the exotic pets trade and Labour's Steve Rotheram leads a debate on the case of the Shrewsbury 24, building workers prosecuted in 1973 for picketing during the first ever national building workers strike.
Watch out, too for the debate on electoral integrity and absent votes (16:30 GMT) the Conservative Stewart Jackson will raise concerns about the abuse of postal voting. In the wake of the Oldham by-election he has echoed UKIP concerns about "postal voting on demand" which he thinks should now be scrapped.
In the Lords (15:00 GMT) the main event is the second day of detailed committee stage consideration of the Welfare Reform and Work Bill. This is where peers probe the government's intentions and don't usually force anything to a vote. But it sets up any subsequent attempts to amend at the later report stage. The key issues, this time, are employment and support allowance, work related requirements on Universal Credit, full-employment reporting, apprenticeships, and troubled families.
The dinner break business is a debate on the Prum proposals (see Commons, Tuesday).
The Commons meets at 09.30 GMT for transport questions , followed by the weekly Commons business statement from the leader of the House.
The main debates are on two subjects chosen by the Backbench Business Committee, first the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) important trade negotiations and then on international human rights day.
In Westminster Hall (13:30 GMT) there is a debate on the protection of ancient woodland and trees
In the Lords (11:00 GMT) two veteran Labour ministers, Baroness (Tessa) Jowell and Lord (Alistair) Darling take their seats.
The first debate is on the future of legal aid, opened by Lord Bach, who's leading a Labour Party review to analyse the impact of changes made under the coalition and the current government, this is one of those occasions where the massed ranks of house of Lords lawyers can make life very uncomfortable for the government.
The second debate is on the quality and viability of the residential care sector in the light of the delay in the introduction of the cap on care costs. It is led by Labour's Baroness Wheeler.
In-between is a lunch-time debate on the rise in religious conflicts and violence, in the light of the recent visit by Pope Francis to the Central African Republic.
The Commons is not sitting on Friday but the Lords have a number of peer's bills to consider.
First Labour's Lord Faulkner of Worcester's Accessible Sports Grounds Bill. Followed by Crossbencher Baroness Howe's Online Safety Bill. Liberal Democrat, Lord Purvis of Tweed has a Constitutional Convention Bill and finally there is a bill from another Crossbencher, Baroness Cox with her Arbitration and Mediation Services (Equality) Bill.
To add to the day's agenda there is an extra-special treat in the shape of a Foreign Affairs committee hearing (10.30 GMT) on 'Libya: examination of intervention and collapse and the UK's future policy options', which will question the Labour former Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
Barking and Dagenham had the highest overall abortion rate, at 29 for every 1,000 women aged 15 to 44.
Health bosses from the east London borough said they had worked hard to bring down teenage pregnancy rates.
Data from the Department of Health revealed wide regional variations. Knowsley in Merseyside had the highest rate outside London.
The Department of Health said the total number of abortions was "fairly constant" at 185,824 in 2015, a rise of 0.7% on the year before. In some areas, almost half of all cases were "repeat" abortions.
The highest rate was among 20 to 24-year-olds, with 53 abortions for every 1,000 women.
Other London boroughs with higher abortion rates were Lewisham, Waltham Forest, Croydon, Enfield, Newham and Southwark.
The lowest overall rates were Derbyshire, Bath and North East Somerset and Cambridgeshire, where the figure was 10 abortions for every 1,000 women aged 15 to 44.
Croydon had the highest rate of repeat abortions, with almost half of all procedures being at least the second termination performed on the patient.
Repeat abortions accounted for 49% of the 2,023 abortions performed in the borough in 2015. Devon saw the lowest rate of repeat abortions, 27% of procedures.
Rachel Flowers, director of public health at Croydon Council, said: "Overall, Croydon's number of abortions is falling. Women who require an abortion are seeking help earlier, which is better for their health."
The council said repeat abortions were more common among women and couples who had not been able "to find a method of contraception that suits them or their beliefs and attitudes; consider abortion to be a method of contraception; have mental health issues or low awareness of contraceptive options".
Since 2005, abortion rates for women aged 30 to 34 in England and Wales have gone up from 14.5 per 1,000 women to 17.1 in 2015 - an 18% rise.
Ann Furedi, chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, said: "The proportion of women having abortions who are in partnerships or married has increased markedly over the last decade, and more than half of women having abortions are already mothers."
Ms Furedi said the charity saw many women who underestimated their risk of getting pregnant, particularly as they got older.
"We need to ensure women have access to good, evidence-based information on fertility that gives them the knowledge they need to make the reproductive decisions that are right for them across their lifetimes," she added.
A Barking and Dagenham Council spokesman said: "We have had some dramatic success recently in reducing teenage pregnancy rates.
"We have seen a 19 per cent drop in last year's rate, meaning we no longer have the worst rate in London.
"Clearly there is more to be done but we believe we are on the right road in helping residents and young people to access greater opportunities for a more prosperous, happy life."
Outgoing CIA director Leon Panetta said he had "every confidence that a request like that will be forthcoming".
Mr Panetta was speaking at a US Senate committee considering his nomination.
The US currently has about 47,000 troops in Iraq, none in a combat role. Under a 2008 deal, they are expected to leave by 31 December 2011.
"It's clear to me that Iraq is considering the possibility of making a request for some kind of [troop] presence to remain there [in Iraq]," Mr Panetta told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday.
He said that whether that happened depended on what Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki might ask for.
But if Baghdad did make such a request, he added, Washington should say yes.
Mr Panetta did not say how many troops would be involved or what they would do.
He said there were still some 1,000 al-Qaeda members in Iraq, and the situation remained "fragile".
"I believe that we should take whatever steps are necessary to make sure that we protect whatever progress we've made there," Mr Panetta said.
The current US contingent is deployed in a training and advisory role.
In April, outgoing Defence Secretary Robert Gates said that American troops could, if required by Iraq, stay in the country beyond the withdrawal date.
Mr Gates had also expressed hope that Baghdad would make such a request.
The BBC's Andrew North in Washington says it seems likely that the US has offered Iraq some inducements to maintain its troop presence.
But any suggestion that President Barack Obama will allow some American forces to remain behind is bound to be seen as backpeddling by both his opponents and supporters on his commitment to pull out entirely from Iraq by this year, our correspondent says.
He adds that it will be controversial in Iraq as well, where there has been an increase in attacks on US bases apparently aimed at derailing any moves to keep American troops on.
US fatalities in Iraq have been rare since Washington officially ended combat operations in the country last August.
But earlier this week, five American soldiers were killed in central Iraq, in what is believed to be the US military's single most serious incident in the country in more than two years.
Granit Xhaka's stunning 30-yard strike gave the Gunners the lead.
Former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner shot wide for Forest before Lucas doubled Arsenal's lead from the penalty spot after Chuba Akpom was fouled.
Lucas then rounded the goalkeeper for his second before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain drove in a late fourth.
The Spanish forward, who joined from Deportivo La Coruna in August, impressed with his pace and strength throughout, with both qualities particularly evident for the second goal.
He chased a ball down the left, brushed off Forest defender Michael Mancienne before bursting past goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic and then poking home.
Bendtner, meanwhile, was making his first appearance against his old club, where he spent nine years at between 2005 and 2014.
Nottingham Forest boss Philippe Montanier: "Like the team, Niklas Bendtner started very well at the beginning and then after it was very difficult for him because Arsenal had the ball and he did not have a lot of opportunity to play.
"But physically I am surprised he is so fit because he had not a big pre-season with Copenhagen.
"It was a good experience not only for Nicklas but for all the players because Arsenal have great technique, better than us, and it was difficult for us but my players, they gave everything."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "Lucas did well. He's quick, he's determined. He uses well his left foot - a bit too much in my taste. He doesn't use his right enough. Overall he's like all the left-footed players, you know.
"But I like his second goal because he has shown not only technique but determination and fight for the ball and finishing and I like that. The part he played in the goal of Oxlade-Chamberlain shows his awareness of other people and it is intelligent play.
"But the most important thing for me is that we win the game. Who scores is not so important but for the player individually it's good because he can convince people he can play for us. It will help himself as well to grow in belief."

A 45-year-old man was attacked and suffered significant injuries to his face following the incident in the Rat Pack piano bar in Shandwick Place.
The incident happened on Sunday 19 March at about 01.00.
Police are appealing for anyone who recognises the men to come forward.
The first man is white, in his 20s, about 6ft, of slim build, with short dark hair and clean shaven.
He spoke with a Scottish accent. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a collared t-shirt, dark jeans and white trainers.
Detectives are also looking to speak to a second man who was seen in the area and may have witnessed part of the incident.
He is white, in his late 20s, about 6ft, of medium build, with short dark hair and stubble.
At the time of the incident, he was wearing a white t-shirt and dark jeans.
Det Con John Dunn, of Police Scotland, said: "The victim was on a night out when he was attacked in a vicious and sustained assault.
He suffered a painful facial injury as a result of this incident and police have been conducting inquiries including viewing CCTV footage from the Rat Pack piano bar.
"The men in the images are believed to be of significance to our investigation and anyone who can assist in tracing them is asked to come forward.
"Similarly, we would ask the men to get in touch with police themselves to help with the investigation"
These include cancer screening, blood pressure checks and mental health assessments.
Only about half of women with learning disabilities in England received breast cancer screening last year, compared with about 70% of eligible women overall.
NHS England said the number having an annual health check was on the rise.
Fewer than half of patients received the recommended annual health check.
This meant they were not accessing support including checks for epilepsy and chronic conditions such as asthma.
The NHS recommends that people with learning disabilities and other complex health needs receive a general physical examination and review of any medicines they have been prescribed every year.
The NHS Digital report looked at patients with and without learning disabilities from more than half of GP practices in England. This covered about 60% of all patients registered with a GP.
The researchers found that, on average, patients with learning disabilities had a 16-year shorter life expectancy than the general population.
People with learning disabilities are also entitled to extra time in GP appointments. Patients are generally allotted 10 minutes or less with their GP.
An NHS England spokesperson said of the report: "The latest figures show the number of patients on a GP learning disabilities register who are receiving an annual health check is increasing but we want to go further.
"It is important that people tell their doctor about their learning disability to make sure they receive extra support."
Learning disability charity Mencap is running a campaign to ensure people know they can register with their doctor as having a learning disability and access this extra support.
GPs can then make accommodations, for example calling patients to ensure they make appointments.
The charity says people with learning disabilities might have more difficulty accessing healthcare than the general population because of a lack of accessible transport, anxiety, low confidence or lack of understanding from staff.
Commenting on the low take-up of annual health checks, Mencap's strategic development manager for health Rachel Ashcroft, said: "Visiting the GP can be incredibly difficult if you have a learning disability.
"Being on the GP's learning disability register can ensure healthcare is much more accessible and can result in better health outcomes for people with a learning disability."
She said Mencap estimates there are 1,200 avoidable deaths a year of people with a learning disability.
Two women each lost a leg and three people were badly hurt in the crash on the Smiler ride on 2 June.
Souvenirs for the ride stopped being sold at the Staffordshire theme park following the crash.
A spokesman said: "We will be selling merchandise again when the Smiler reopens for the 2016 season."
Both the ride and theme park - which has been closed for winter - will reopen on 19 March.
Updates on this and other Staffordshire stories
Four people sitting in the front row of the ride were among those most seriously hurt when their carriage hit a stationary carriage.
Vicky Balch, 20, from Lancashire, had six rounds of surgery in a bid to save her leg before needing an amputation.
Leah Washington, 17, from Barnsley, also had one of her legs amputated, while her 18-year-old boyfriend, Joe Pugh, shattered his knees.
Daniel Thorpe, 27, from Buxton, Derbyshire, was treated for a collapsed lung and leg injuries.
The fifth person, Chanda Chauhan, 49, from Wednesbury, underwent surgery after suffering internal injuries.
The owner of the attraction is to be prosecuted over the crash.
Merlin Attractions Operation Ltd will appear at North Staffordshire Justice Centre on 22 April, the Health and Safety Executive announced last week.
The visitors totalled 118 but in reply the Warriors were 10 for the loss of three wickets before Johnny Thompson and Andy McBrine came to the rescue with a fourth-wicket partnership of 65.
The holders Leinster Lightning are firmly at the top of the Inter-Pro table following a 59-run win over Munster Reds at Merrion.
They have now won all three games while Knights and Warriors have one win each.
Lightning were put in to bat and took full advantage with Simi Singh scoring 109 from 53 balls while Max Sorensen was even better with an undefeated 98 off 44.
Victorino Chua, 49, denies murdering three patients and poisoning 18 others at Stepping Hill Hospital, Greater Manchester between 2011 and 2012.
The handwritten document was found in his kitchen after his arrest in 2012.
The letter read it was "the bitter nurse confession" and he had been prescribed sleeping tablets and anti-depressants.
Manchester Crown Court heard that the defendant told police he wrote the letter after a counselling session in which he was told to write down his feelings as an outlet for his frustrations.
In the letter, the nurse says he is writing it in case something happens to him and so people can "work out how an angel turn to an evil person".
The father-of-two ended the 13-page document by writing: "Still inside of me I can feel the anger that any time it will explode just still hanging on can still control it but if I will be pushed they gonna be sorry."
He added: "The bitter nurse confession. Got lots to tell but I just take it to my grave."
Mr Chua, of Churchill Street, Stockport, is charged with killing Tracey Arden, 44, Arnold Lancaster, 71, and Alfred Weaver, 83.
He is alleged to have killed his victims by secretly injecting insulin into saline bags.
He has pleaded not guilty to a total of 37 charges, including 25 counts of attempted grievous bodily harm with intent, eight counts of attempting to administer poison and one count of administering poison.
The alleged offences happened between June 2011 and January 2012.
The trial continues.
Claridge, who played more than 1,000 senior games before retiring in 2012, started the 3-0 defeat by Portsmouth.
He came in as there was a player shortage against the League One side, with two on holiday.
"Thanks everybody who came today, Salisbury and Pompey, don't suppose there's four of you who could carry me upstairs to bed is there?" he tweeted.
The former Leicester City, Portsmouth and Millwall striker began his professional playing career at Bournemouth in 1984. He went on to manage Pompey, Millwall and Weymouth.
The Wiltshire side are the 23rd team the BBC Sport pundit has played for.
Claridge said he could not have asked for any more from his eighth-tier side as they took on last season's League Two champions.
"I did what I had to because there were no other options than this, but it wasn't about me," Claridge told BBC Radio Solent.
The pupil collapsed at the Al Hijrah School in Bordesley Green, Birmingham, at about 14:20 GMT on Friday.
He died at nearby Heartlands Hospital.
Police said they are working with the school and Birmingham City Council to establish the circumstances surrounding his death. A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out soon.
Colin Diamond, executive director for education at Birmingham City Council, said the school was "doing all it can to support the family through this terrible time".
Brigid Jones, the city council's cabinet member for children, families and schools, said on Twitter: "My thoughts are with the family of the young man who tragically died following an incident at school yesterday."
Fittingly, he used 22 different pens to sign the document - now more nattily nicknamed "Obamacare".
It continued a long-held American tradition that sees the pens used to sign historic documents donated as thank-you gifts. The more pens used, the more gifts can be made.
President Lyndon Johnson reportedly used more than 75 pens to sign the landmark Civil Rights Act in 1964. One, an Esterbrook, was given to Martin Luther King Jr.
And these pens can give us a tangible slice of history.
For example, the Parker Duofold Big Red used by General Douglas MacArthur to sign a surrender document aboard USS Missouri - effectively signalling the end of the Second World War - is now proudly displayed at the Cheshire Military Museum in Chester.
But is this where ink pens and hand-written signatures now belong - in museums?
On 1 July 2016, the European Union implemented new rules for electronic signatures, giving them the same legal weight as their "wet" - or ink-based - written counterparts.
The new eIDAS (European Identity and Trust Services) regulation has effectively put an end to a confusing patchwork of laws, making them consistent across every EU country.
So why has it taken so long? After all, the idea of a digital signature or certificate that proves you are who you say you are has been around for many years.
Businesses have been slow to adopt electronic signatures because "until now, there has been no legal framework or regulation which properly defines them," argues Mark Greenaway, director of digital media at software firm Adobe.
Such confusion has fuelled scepticism.
"The technology has been around for a while, but adoption in the UK is now commencing because people are starting to believe in it," says Richard Croft, chief communications officer at software company Legalesign.
The inability to prove online identity and authenticate documents has always been something of an Achilles heel for the internet.
But a number of different technologies have emerged to tackle this.
In Estonia, for example, every resident over the age of 15 has an ID card protected by a personal identification number and containing a digital signature. This enables them to access government services, digitally sign documents, and vote electronically in parliamentary elections.
They can do this on their smartphones, too. Around 170,000 people voted digitally last year.
"I'd rather not spend precious time on administration," says Anna Piperal, managing director of e-Estonia Showroom at Enterprise Estonia. "There is no value in that."
But even without paper to shuffle and ink to dry, such pragmatism doesn't mean the end of face-to-face communication.
"We still like to meet and talk, discuss, but not sign papers in stacks and spend a fortune printing and scanning," she says.
It is little wonder that 2% of Estonia's GDP [gross domestic product] is saved every year as a result of digital signatures.
"It makes business administration easy," she says. "For example, you can start a company in just 18 minutes."
And Legalesign has just launched an online witness product, enabling business people to sign contracts by typing their name, signing with a mouse or uploading their signature.
The signature is made in the presence of a witness, and the ID of the signatory is verified over email. The final document is tamper-proofed using an encrypted digital certificate.
The problem with written signatures - even those signed with a beautiful pen and a practised flourish - is that they can be forged.
"A [written] signature is simply weak evidence that somebody agreed to do something," says Jon Geater, chief technology officer at Thales e-security.
"It is not exactly unique or special, nor does it prove particularly well that a person was genuinely present or consenting."
Digital counterparts, on the other hand, whether using blockchain technology, which relies on a consensus agreement before verifying a signature, or password-based digital signatures, do away with this uncertainty.
"Modern digital technology provides considerably greater assurance that a piece of information was genuinely approved or agreed," says Mr Geater.
This enables business relationships to be "described, enforced and verified without the unnecessary involvement of superfluous middlemen, and with much greater levels of proof," he says.
Ron Hirson, chief product officer at US-based tech firm DocuSign, agrees, saying: "The benefits of digital business are outweighing the nostalgia of the hand-written signature."
But while describing written signatures unstintingly as "extremely primitive", Mr Croft does accept that digital versions lack theatre.
"Viewing the Magna Carta in person holds a certain magic. In a couple of generations time, the idea of inspecting a certified digital copy of the Great Repeal Bill signed with Her Majesty's encryption code might not be the same crowd-puller," he admits.
And some of the world's biggest businesses rely on the ritual of putting pen to paper to please the crowd.
"Take Zlatan Ibrahimovic signing for Manchester United this summer," says Dr John Curran, a business anthropologist and founder of research firm JC Innovation and Strategy.
"It goes way beyond the signing of a lucrative contract. The ceremonial nature enables the club, as a brand, to display its intent for success, whereas for the fans, it satisfies their need that their team is developing."
And we certainly don't seem to be losing our love of pens. In the US, traditional pen retail sales were up 4% in 2016 compared with 2015, according to the NPD Group.
"People still want that status or 'lifestyle piece' for important and meaningful signatures, like buying a house," says NPD analyst Leen Nsouli.
That said, you might think twice before buying the latest luxury piece from Swiss company Caran d'Ache, which recently collaborated with watch and timepiece brand MB&F to create its limited edition Astrograph pen.
It contains 99 components and is a snip at just under £20,000.

In 2015 Ahmed Mohamed was arrested in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, after his teacher said the clock looked like an explosive device.
Photos of the 14-year-old's arrest sparked a public outcry.
But on Thursday a Texas judge ruled there was no evidence of racial or religious discrimination.
"Plaintiff does not allege any facts from which this court can reasonably infer" that Irving Independent School District employees "intentionally discriminated" against Ahmed Mohamed, wrote US District Judge Sam Lindsay in his ruling.
He also dismissed a complaint against the school principal saying it was "factually deficient" to allege that Ahmed was treated "differently than other similarly situated students, and that the unequal treatment was based on religion or race".
Ahmed, whom US media dubbed "clock boy", was originally charged with having a "hoax bomb" after he brought the digital clock display in a small briefcase to the classroom at MacArthur High School in Irving.
But those charges were later dropped.
The family's lawyer, Susan Hutchison, said when their lawsuit was first filed: "They knew it wasn't a bomb, that he never threatened anyone, that he never said it was a bomb, that he never alarmed anyone.
"Despite all of those things, they yanked him out of his chair, put him in handcuffs and arrested him. There was no cause for arrest."
#IStandWithAhmed trended on Twitter after the arrest and the teenager was invited to an astronomy event at the White House where he spoke to then-President Barack Obama.
Shortly after the incident, the boy's family moved to Qatar, before moving back to Texas a few months later.
The female attacker made off with the bag on the footpath between Crimon Place at St Mary's Cathedral and Huntly Street on Monday at about 15:00.
The assailant was described as white, in her mid-20s, 5ft 3in to 5ft 6in tall, and slim.
She had red/ginger hair tied back in a ponytail and spoke with a local accent.
She was wearing a green jacket, blue jeans with holes in both knees, and ankle boots.
Det Sgt Jamie Sherlock said: "This is an attack on a lone woman who had been at the shops in Aberdeen. She was pulled to the ground in the incident and had her bag its contents taken from her.
"We are appealing for anyone who recognises the description given and saw the woman in the area to contact us as soon as possible."
The appointment follows the departure of Chris Weston, who announced he was leaving British Gas to join Aggreko last May.
Mr Hodges joins British Gas from specialist insurance broker, Towergate.
He will take on his responsibilities from 1 June, and will also join the Centrica board.
Mr Hodges was a senior executive as Aviva for 20 years before leaving to become chief executive of Towergate in 2011.
He will be paid basic salary of £625,000 and received a bonus of up to 100% of salary if all performance targets are met.
But he could receive a bonus worth 200% of his basic salary if he exceeds those performance targets.
One-time leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Menzies Campbell, will take his seat alongside party colleague Sir Malcolm Bruce.
Former Labour chancellor and head of the pro-Union Better Together campaign, Alistair Darling, will also be entering the House of Lords.
Entrepreneur Michelle Mone has also become one of the 45 new members.
In all, Prime Minister David Cameron handed out peerages to 26 Conservatives, including former foreign secretary William Hague.
Also on the Tory leader's list was Ms Mone whom he recently appointed to carry out a review into how best to encourage start-ups in areas of high unemployment.
Labour nominated two women and six men, including Mr Darling.
Sir Menzies and Sir Malcolm are among the seven Lib Dem MPs who were nominated by their party.
Former Lib Dem ministers Vince Cable and Danny Alexander, who both lost their seats at the general election, are thought to have turned down the chance to enter the Lords.
Marc Cole, aged 30, from Falmouth, Cornwall, had self-inflicted knife injuries when he died on 23 May.
His brother Danny Cole told The Falmouth Packet the dad-of-two had not been trying to kill himself when police were called.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating his death and has appealed for witnesses.
"He was well respected in the area and I have had over 400 messages from people - everyone knew my brother," Mr Cole said.
Painter and decorator Marc leaves behind his partner Nadine Kinder and their two sons Caden, aged three, and Caleb, who is nearly one.
"He worshipped them, they were his life," Mr Cole said.
Marc had cared for his father John, who died last year, during a two-year battle with cancer.
Best friend Charlie Black said: "He was the most loyal person I have ever met. He would always help, he had a heart of gold."
Mr Cole said: "He was not out to hurt anyone or himself. He had some personal problems that came to a head that day but he wouldn't have hurt anyone."
Police said "officers were confronted with a man who was in possession of a knife".
"Due to the unfolding dynamic incident, police deployed a Taser."
An IPCC statement said: "Initial accounts indicate Marc Cole, 30, had caused himself harm and he was taken to hospital where he subsequently died.
"During the incident, a Taser was discharged. "
The city council elected as mayor Herman Mashaba from the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA).
The ANC had run the city since the fall of apartheid more than 20 years ago. It lost its council majority in local elections, although it is still the largest party.
The party has also lost control of the capital Pretoria and Cape Town.
The end of racial politics?
Testing times for South Africa's ANC
It follows local elections earlier this month that produced no outright winner in most districts, resulting in hung municipalities and forcing parties to form coalitions to govern.
Of the country's six biggest cities, the ANC only won an outright majority in Durban, seen as a stronghold for South African President Jacob Zuma.
There was drama at Monday's Johannesburg council meeting, which lasted 11 hours.
A scuffle broke out between opposition party members and electoral commission officials and an ANC councillor who was sworn in earlier in the day collapsed and died shortly after Mr Mashaba was elected.
The ANC had won 44.5% of the vote, more than the DA's 38.4%. But the left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) with 11% found itself in the position of kingmaker and refused to give its votes to the ANC.
Analysis: Milton Nkosi, BBC Africa, Johannesburg
The election of the Democratic Alliance's Herman Mashaba as mayor of Johannesburg represents a tectonic shift in South African politics.
This is the first time since the end of apartheid that the ANC lost control of the city of gold, as Johannesburg is known locally.
The Johannesburg wing of the ANC is known within the party to be professional and not corrupt.
However, voters still punished it for the litany of corruption scandals the ANC has been involved in at a national level.
And there were some local problems, including potholed roads, a shambolic electricity billing system and refuse strikes that left the city filthy.
What has happened in Johannesburg is a microcosm of what could happen nationally come the general election in 2019.
Mr Mashaba, a 56-year-old businessman, has promised to reform the city administration.
"As of this evening, corruption is declared public enemy number one in this city," he told cheering supporters.
"Public monies that have been misspent, misused, over the last five, 10 years or so ... we're going to take this money, we're going to look after it, so that we can provide basic services to our people."
Mr Mashaba also pledged to tackle unemployment.
"Over 800,000 of our residents, one-in-three, are today unemployed. We need to address this and we need to address this as a matter of urgency." | Exeter slipped to five points off the League Two play-off places as Mansfield seal all three points in a five-goal thriller at St James Park.

Mr Laws said there would be increasing focus on how well schools boosted the results of their disadvantaged pupils.
They must focus "relentlessly" on closing the achievement gap, he said.
Speaking at the annual conference of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers conference in Liverpool, he said: "The chief inspector [Sir Michael Wilshaw] has made clear that Ofsted will increasingly prioritise this area too.
"No school, however impressive, can be an 'outstanding school' if it is not achieving excellence for its most disadvantaged pupils.
"So, even where overall attainment is high, we want schools to focus relentlessly on closing this gap by improving outcomes for those from disadvantaged backgrounds."
Mr Laws told delegates it was "quite literally intolerable" that in some schools and certain areas of the country almost eight in 10 children on free school meals - a key measure of poverty - failed to get five good GCSEs, including maths and English. At GCSE level there is a 27% gap between the results of poor children and their peers, he said.
"This appalling gap between the life chances of poor children and the rest of the student population is a scar on the face of our education system in this country," he added.
Mr Laws said it would be "quite wrong" to blame teachers for this "miserable outcome" for those children as the gap was caused largely by inequalities in society.
But he said schools could rise to the challenge and make full use of the pupil premium - a payment worth around £900 per eligible pupil from this September - which has been designed to help schools raise results for poorer children.
"And I now need your help to show that the pupil premium is working and that it will close that gap between the outcomes of rich and poor children."
Mr Laws also appeared to offer an olive branch to teachers, saying they did one of the most important jobs in the country.
Mr Laws said schools currently had one of the best generation of teachers and "we should be willing to acknowledge that".
"Too often, politicians talk about education as if we have some unique monopoly of high aspirations for our young people
"But... I have yet to find anyone who works in education who is complacent about the huge gaps between the educational outcomes for children from rich and poor backgrounds."
He added: "We do appreciate the job you do - genuinely and sincerely."
His conciliatory words come after delegates passed a motion of no confidence in Education Secretary Michael Gove and the Chief Inspector for Schools in England, Sir Michael Wilshaw.
ATL members said the pressure put upon the teaching profession by both men was "horrendous".
ATL general secretary Mary Bousted had also raised concerns about Mr Gove's "wrong-headed" policies.
The early Anglo-Saxon pendant is imprinted with an image of Emperor Justinian and is thought to have been made in France.
It was found by Godfrey Pratt in a field near Attleborough, Norfolk.
Mr Pratt said he had made some finds which were of archaeological interest, but this one was "bling".
Mr Pratt, who lives near the town, said: "It appeared to be a golden bottle-top but when I looked closer I found it to be something far more significant.
"I recognised it to be a gold pendant... it's extremely rare.
"Very few have been found in the UK."
Mr Pratt, who has been metal detecting for six years, said he was known at his club as the "king of bling because of the trinkets I bring in," but he had never previously found gold.
He has since informed the Norfolk Historic Environment Record (HER) and the county's museum service about his discovery.
Finds officer Adrian Marsden said it was "rare" and made from high-quality gold.
Dr Marsden said the piece of jewellery had possibly gone into the ground in a burial, "probably as a very much-loved pendant."
He said it could indicate there was a cemetery on the field where it was found.
"There could be more stuff out there, time will tell," said Dr Marsden.
Mr Pratt started searching the site with a team from the Norfolk Heritage Recovery Group in Norwich as part of a project approved by the Norfolk HER.
The pendant will go to the coroner and then to the British Museum for valuation.
Two protesters abseiled down Parliament House in Canberra, unfurling a banner saying "close the bloody camps now".
Australia sends asylum seekers who arrive by boat to offshore detention centres in Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
The government believes the policy prevents deaths at sea, but critics argue it is inhumane.
On Thursday, 13 more demonstrators held placards in a pond they dyed red to symbolise blood.
Last month, the Australian government rejected a human rights report comparing its asylum seeker camp on Nauru to an open-air prison.
The protest banners on Thursday called for an end to offshore detention and the controversial policy of boat turnbacks. The demonstration lasted about two hours.
The same protest group, Whistleblowers Activists and Citizens Alliance, was responsible for forcing the suspension of parliament for 40 minutes on Wednesday.
In heated scenes, the group of about 30 demonstrators shouted the detention policy was "separating families" and "killing innocent people".
Security guards used hand sanitiser to remove six protesters who glued their hands to a railing in the public gallery.
"We are here today because you have become world leaders in cruelty," the protesters said.
The asylum-seeker policies are supported by both the government and the Labor opposition. The issue has highly polarised public sentiment, with the majority agreeing with the government's position.
Both major parties condemned the interruption on Wednesday.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten thanked security staff for their handling of the demonstration.
"The reason why the Labor Party stayed in here today is because we will never give in to those who wish to shut down this parliament," he said.
"This is the exact opposite of democracy."
However, Greens MP Adam Bandt praised the protesters for their actions.
"Question Time brought to a halt as peaceful protesters hold MPs to account demanding gov #CloseTheCamps. Brave. Powerful. Proud," he wrote on Twitter.
It comes two weeks after Australia and the US reached a resettlement deal for asylum seekers held in Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
Ivory Coast face the Netherlands in a friendly on 4 June and Guinea in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier five days later.
Hertha Berlin's Salomon Kalou is included on the 27-man list as he continues his international career.
Kalou was considering his international future after the defending champions crashed out of the Africa Cup of Nations this year.
The 31-year-old said in January that the tournament in Gabon would be his last Nations Cup but that he was thinking of playing on with Ivory Coast until the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The former Belgium coach also included striker long-term absentee Seydou Doumbia on the list.
Three of the four former France youth internationals that Wilmots has persuaded to swap national allegiances and play for Ivory Coast are also included in the squad.
Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Jeremie Boga and Maxwell Cornet could all make their debuts for Ivory Coast in June while Seko Fofana misses out through injury.
The games will be the first in charge for Wilmots since he was appointed in March.
Ivory Coast squad:
Goalkeepers: Sylvain Gbohouo (TP Mazembe, DR Congo) Axel Kacou (Tours, France), Mandé Sayouba (Stabaek, Norway), Ali Badra Sangaré (AS Tanda, Ivory Coast), Abdoul Karim Cissé (SC Gagnoa, Ivory Coast)
Defenders: Serge Aurier (Paris St Germain, France), Mamadou Bagayoko (St Truiden, Belgium), Eric Bailly (Man Utd, England), Simon Deli (Slavia Prague, Czech Republic), Lamine Koné (Sunderland, England), Ismaël Traoré (Angers, France), Wilfried Kanon (ADO Hague, Netherlands), Adama Traoré (FC Bâsel, Switzerland), Joris Gnagnon (Rennes, France), Ghislain Konan (Guimaraes, Portugal)
Midfielders: Cheick Doukouré (Metz, France), Franck Kessié (Atalanta, Italy), Geoffroy Serey Dié (FC Basel, Switzerland), Jean-Philippe Gbamin (Mainz, Germany), Jean Michaël Séri (Nice, France)
Attackers: Nicolas Pépé (Angers, France), Maxwell Cornet (Lyon, France), Giovanni Sio (Rennes, France), Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace, England), Jérémie Boga (Grenada/Spain), Salomon Kalou (Hertha Berlin, Germany), Seydou Doumbia (FC Bâsel, Switzerland)
Both players were wearing black ribbons on their shirts in memory of the victims of the attacks that took place in Barcelona and Cambrils on Thursday.
Nadal, 31, won 7-6 (7-1) 6-2 to set up a quarter-final tie with Australia's Nick Kyrgrios.
Kyrgrios and Nadal will play their quarter-final match later on Friday (not before 02:00 BST on Saturday).
Roger Federer's withdrawal from the tournament means Nadal will return to world number one for the first time since July 2014, taking over from Andy Murray who is also injured.
Meanwhile, Karolina Pliskova solidified her world number one ranking by beating Camila Giorgi and Caroline Wozniacki.
The Czech defending champion beat Italian qualifier Giorgi 6-3 4-6 6-0 in their third-round match, before defeating world number five Wozniacki of Denmark 6-2 6-4 in a schedule reshuffled after Thursday's rain delays.
The 25-year-old now faces Spain's Garbine Muguruza in the last four.
Wimbledon champion Muguruza beat Russian eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-2 5-7 7-5 and also made a special tribute to victims of the attacks in her country's Catalonia region.
She wore a black ribbon in her headwear and later posted on Instagram: "Barcelona I feel you."
Pliskova's victory over Wozniacki means world number two Simona Halep is only able to overtake her as world number one if she wins the title.
Romania's Halep plays Britain's Johanna Konta, who has won each of their three previous meetings, in their quarter-final tie later on Friday (not before 00:00 BST on Saturday).
Meanwhile, Ukraine's world number four Elina Svitolina, who was in with a chance of becoming world number one if she had won the title, was beaten by Germany's Julia Goerges 7-5 6-4 in their third-round match.
Goerges goes on to play American Sloane Stephens, who eliminated Russia's Ekaterina Makarova 2-6 6-3 6-4, later on Friday.
Police said 301 people were held over the two-day event, 23 more than the 278 arrested in 2012.
Most of those arrested were held for drug and public order offences, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.
More than 300 people were treated for cuts, bruises and alcohol-related injuries, according to the London Ambulance Service.
About one million people attended the two-day event in west London.
A Met Police spokesman said 6,000 officers were on duty at the carnival on Sunday and just under 7,000 on Bank Holiday Monday.
While relatives will sign away a loved one's heart or a kidney, they are more reluctant to give their eyes, said Belfast opthalmic surgeon David Frazer.
"I guess that's because everyone knows what the eyes look like," he said.
"People only have a vague idea about livers and kidneys, they think they won't be missed if they are taken."
Some people feel an emotional attachment to their eyes, seeing them as the essence of who they are and that might put be one reason why donation rates are low.
But pensioner Charles Bloomer, 70, who is from Belfast, is counting the value of the gift of a donor's corneas.
Thirty years ago, he damaged an eye while loading a van on the Shetland Islands. The injury has come back to haunt him but a corneal transplant at Belfast's Mater Hospital has brightened his world.
Four thousand corneal transplants are carried out each year in the UK, but just 40 are carried out in Northern Ireland in Belfast's Mater Hospital or Altnagelvin Hospital in Londonderry.
The lack of availability of donor corneas is further hampered by the fact that just 25% of all those donated are health enough to be used in transplants.
Donated corneas are kept in eye banks in Bristol and Manchester. They can only be stored for up to a month after they have been donated.
The operation itself is fast and effective.
"It's a big advantage with a corneal transplant because there are no blood vessels in the cornea - so matching of the corneal graft as you might do before a liver or kidney transplant is not necessary," said Mr Frazer.
"The only thing we match for is age. We like to use a cornea that is roughly within 10-year age bracket of the recipient."
A cornea transplant can be carried out under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic.
The procedure usually takes less than an hour and, depending on your circumstances, you either leave hospital the same day or stay overnight.
For eye specialists like David Frazer, the message is simple.
"I would appeal to people to donate their eyes," he said. "They are of no use to them after death."
A row broke out in March after the commissioners expressed anger that the "landmark" building was put up for sale by the Isle of Man government.
The organisation said an agreement, which includes a payment of £80,000, followed "detailed discussions" with the Department of Home Affairs.
Chairman Andy Cowie said he was "delighted to finally agree terms".
The deal, which it is hoped will be completed by August, will see the commissioners take over the freehold title of the building and grounds, which includes a war memorial and gardens.
The organisation has agreed to grant the department a 25-year lease on the existing police office at Ramsey Town Hall at a "nominal rent".
Home Affairs minister Bill Malarkey said he was delighted there had been a positive outcome.
Mr Cowie said the building, which was built in the early 19th Century, was "recognised as being at the heart of Ramsey".
It has been used as a theatre, police station and post office.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage launched his party's manifesto on Canvey Island in the Castle Point constituency in Essex.
But Rebecca Harris retained the seat with 23,112 votes - an increase of more than 3,000 votes from 2010.
Mr Carswell held Clacton, but his majority was cut by 9,000 votes compared with last year's by-election.
The Conservative candidate Giles Watling came second in Clacton again, but his vote increased from 8,709 to 16,205.
Mr Carswell, whose defection from the Conservatives sparked the by-election, saw his vote drop from 21,113 to 19,642.
Following his victory, he criticised the first-past-the-post voting system for UKIP's failure to take more seats.
"I hope that those vying to get their hands on the levers of power will have the modesty to remember that there are many people who feel under-represented," he said.
"Here, in our part of Essex, people voted UKIP and they got UKIP, yet across the country about five million people will have either voted for UKIP or for the Green Party.
"That failure to translate those five million votes into seats is less a reflection of how my party or the Green Party campaigned; rather it tells us how dysfunctional our political system is."
In Castle Point, UKIP's Jamie Huntman was second with 14,178 votes, while the Liberal Democrats' Sereena Davey managed just 80 votes.
UKIP was third in its target seat of Thurrock as second-placed Labour narrowly lost to the Conservative Jackie Doyle-Price by just 536 votes.
The Conservatives have also held Basildon & Billericay, Basildon South & Thurrock East, Brentwood & Ongar, Chelmsford, Epping Forest, Harlow, Rayleigh & Wickford, Rochford & Southend East, Southend West.
The Liberal Democrats' Sir Bob Russell saw his 7,000 majority in Colchester wiped out as Will Quince reclaimed the seat for the Tories for the first time since 1997.

The murders took place during the 1980s and 1990s and the IRA claimed the victims were "informers".
But victims' families believe they died to protect British agents in the IRA.
Since 2007, Northern Ireland's Police Ombudsman has examined claims the UK "protected" IRA killers, but has now grouped cases in a major investigation.
A Police Ombudsman's Office spokesman said it arose from "a number of separate complaints made by members of the public and from matters referred to it by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI)".
"They included allegations that some murders carried out during this period could have been prevented and that a number of people were subsequently protected from investigation and prosecution," the ombudsman's statement added.
The Guardian newspaper has reported that up to 20 murders are now being examined as part of the wider inquiry.
It is understood that while some of the killings may have been looked into as individual cases by the ombudsman over the years, this is the first time the murders have been grouped for investigation.
The ombudsman's spokesman confirmed that its larger inquiry began more than a year ago, but added: "We are at a stage where we can now confirm that we are carrying out such an investigation."
The Belfast law firm, KRW Law, is dealing with 11 cases that have been included in the ombudsman's investigation, nine of which involve victims who were murdered by the IRA due to claims they were informers.
Solicitor Kevin Winters said these families were the "last to come to the table" in terms of conflict resolution because of the "stigma" that still surrounds the deaths of their relatives. Many of the families taking legal action still live in strongly republican areas.
Mr Winters said his firm had been dealing with all 11 cases in a linked "thematic" manner for some time but were notified earlier this month that the Police Ombudsman's Office has now taken the same approach.
"As a law practice representing a substantial number of clients affected by the legacy of the conflict, and having worked on their behalf with the Office of the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland since its inception, we welcome this initiative to undertake thematic investigations into multiple murders, which we have long been advocating for.
"The initiative is clearly right in terms of the process of delivering truth to victims and in terms of the operation of the office and exposing collusion as a state practice during the conflict responsible for deaths which could have been prevented," Mr Winters added.
It uses data from Credit Suisse from October for the report, which urges leaders meeting in Davos this week to take action on inequality.
Oxfam also calculated that the richest 62 people in the world had as much wealth as the poorest half of the global population.
It criticised the work of lobbyists and the amount of money kept in tax havens.
Oxfam predicted that the 1% would overtake the rest of the world this time last year.
It takes cash and assets worth $68,800 (£48,300) to get into the top 10%, and $760,000 (£533,000) to be in the 1%. That means that if you own an average house in London without a mortgage, you are probably in the 1%.
The figures carry various caveats, for example, information about the wealth of the super-rich is hard to come by, which Credit Suisse says means its estimates of the proportion of wealth held by the 10% and the 1% is "likely to err on the low side".
As a global report, the figures also necessarily include some estimates of levels of wealth in countries from which accurate statistics are not available.
Oxfam said that the 62 richest people having as much wealth as the poorest 50% of the population is a remarkable concentration of wealth, given that it would have taken 388 individuals to have the same wealth as the bottom 50% in 2010.
"Instead of an economy that works for the prosperity of all, for future generations, and for the planet, we have instead created an economy for the 1%," Oxfam's report says.
The trend over the period that Credit Suisse has been carrying out this research has been that the proportion of wealth held by the top 1% fell gradually from 2000 to 2009 and has risen every year since then.
In fact, it is only in the 2015 figures that the proportion held by the top 1% overtakes the share taken by them in the first report in 2000.
Oxfam calls on governments to take action to reverse this trend.
It wants workers paid a living wage and the gap with executive rewards to be narrowed.
It calls for an end to the gender pay gap, compensation for unpaid care and the promotion of equal land and inheritance rights for women.
And it wants governments to take action on lobbying, reducing the price of medicines, taxing wealth rather than consumption and using progressive public spending to tackle inequality.
The playing surface at Lille's Stade Pierre Mauroy cut up during France's draw against Switzerland on Sunday, with players losing their footing.
Bad weather is being blamed, despite a retractable roof at the stadium, and the pitch will be replaced on Friday.
The Republic must beat Italy to have any chance of reaching the last 16.
Martin O'Neill's side drew 1-1 against Sweden in their opening match, before a 3-0 defeat by Belgium left them bottom of the group going into their third and final match.
Neither the Republic not the Italians have been able to train at the stadium in the build-up to Wednesday's fixture.

Uefa, European football's governing body, says the last-16 and quarter-final games scheduled to be played at the venue on 26 June and 1 July respectively, will still go ahead.
The new pitch is being brought in from the Netherlands.
"The extremely difficult weather conditions in the past few weeks (rain, humidity, lack of sunshine) have caused irreversible damage to the surface at the stadium," said Uefa.
"We saw the pitch didn't look that great but it's going to be the same for the Italians as it is for ourselves so that makes it a level playing field," said Ireland left-back Stephen Ward.
"Myself and Wes Hoolahan have played in the League of Ireland so we're used to it."
The latest Markit/CIPS service sector purchasing managers index (PMI) fell to 53.3 last month from 55.6 in August.
Although above 50, indicating growth, it was the lowest figure since April 2013 as global uncertainty and weak UK manufacturing weighed on businesses.
Service sector growth in the third quarter slowed to a two-year low.
Markit said that its survey data indicated that UK GDP growth slowed to 0.5% in the third quarter of the year, and is entering the fourth quarter at a pace of 0.3%. This compares with growth of 0.7% in the second quarter of the year.
The service sector is of key importance to the UK as it accounts for about three-quarters of the economy.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, said: "Weakness is spreading from the struggling manufacturing sector, hitting transport and other industrial-related services in particular.
"Wider business service sector confidence has meanwhile also been knocked by global economic worries and financial market jitters."
He added the survey suggested shoppers were more cautious, pulling back on their leisure spending on restaurants and hotels.
The pound dropped slightly against other currencies, as the weak PMI reading suggested that the prospects of an early UK rate rise were diminishing. The Bank of England's monetary policy committee meets for its latest rate decision later this week.
David Tinsley, an economist at UBS, said: "If this is an accurate reading of the trajectory of the economy, it increasingly appears that UK growth has taken a marked step down."
He added that global uncertainty was "likely only part of the story" for the low service sector growth.
"The services PMI has been easing for some time, and the UK index has fallen by more than it has in the eurozone for example."
Other data released on Monday from Markit showed the eurozone composite PMI - which covers all business sectors - dropped to 53.6 in September from 54.3 the month before.
Although growth decelerated in Ireland, Germany, Spain and Italy, new orders and higher output created more jobs in the euro bloc.
However, there was still one more round of fixtures to cram in before the season's first month came to a conclusion.
Emotional tributes, a superb winning run extended and a fortysomething still turning out in League Two; BBC Sport has picked out some of the day's main talking points from the Football League.
Ipswich Town 2-3 Brighton & Hove Albion
The players and staff at Brighton & Hove Albion have been more affected than most by the Shoreham air disaster, in which 11 people died.
One of the victims, Matt Grimstone, was a member of the ground staff at the Championship club's training ground and played for non-league side Worthing United.
Grimstone's Worthing team-mate, Jacob Schilt, also died. He was a Brighton supporter.
Seven days on from the disaster, various events were held near the crash site to remember the victims.
Brighton's players wore black armbands during Saturday's game at Ipswich, while goalkeeper David Stockdale paid his own tribute by wearing personalised gloves and a special warm-up top before kick-off.
The Seagulls won 3-2 at Portman Road, Tomer Hemed's brace sending Chris Hughton's side top of the Championship table.
"The club has done an incredible job in helping the local police and everyone wanted to do well for Matt and Jacob," said Hughton.
At full-time, Stockdale pointed to the sky - gloves in one hand, black armband in the other.
Brentford 1-3 Reading
Heard the one about the football pitch that was re-laid after the opening match of the season?
There were several complaints about the Griffin Park surface following Brentford's draw with Ipswich on the opening day. Ipswich midfielder Ryan Fraser said he had never played on one so bad.
An under-soil drainage system that had been installed during the summer had caused serious problems.
So, after one game of the campaign, the pitch was ripped up and replaced.
The work caused one of their matches to be postponed, but Brentford were back on home soil on Saturday to take on Reading.
Unfortunately for the Bees, it was anything but familiar turf as they lost 3-1 on their brand new surface.
Blackpool 0-4 Walsall
Walsall can do no wrong at the moment. A 4-0 win at Blackpool on Saturday was their sixth victory in a row in all competitions.
That run of form has taken them to the top of League One and into the third round of the League Cup, where faltering Premier League champions Chelsea await.
"It's great when things work out like they are doing, but we know we have to be at our best every game," Walsall manager Dean Smith told BBC WM 95.6.
As for Blackpool, their misery continues. One point from five games leaves them bottom of the table.
Bradford City 1-0 Port Vale
It's not been unusual to see the name "Cole" on a scoresheet in England over the past couple of decades.
Former Manchester United striker Andrew Cole was one of the Premier League's most feared front men, and now his son - albeit two levels down the English football pyramid - is hoping to do the same.
Devante Cole swapped Manchester City for Bradford City on Friday and he marked his first appearance for the Bantams with a stoppage-time winner against Port Vale 24 hours later.
The 20-year-old, who netted his 11th career goal on Saturday, still has some way to go to match his father, who scored 187 in the Premier League alone.
But it's a good way to start.
Dagenham & Redbridge 1-1 Stevenage
Evergreen striker Jamie Cureton, who turned 40 on Friday, continues to be a genuine goalscoring threat at League Two level.
He received congratulatory tweets from many of his former clubs, and was presented with a special shirt before Dagenham's home game with Stevenage on Saturday.
But there was to be no late birthday present for the former Norwich and Bristol Rovers forward, who had two shots cleared off the line in a 1-1 draw.
Alexander Downer, Australia's high commissioner to the UK, said the country would want better access for business people working in the UK before reaching a post-Brexit deal.
He said it might be possible to strike a deal within eight months of Brexit.
Preliminary moves over a possible agreement had been made, he added.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has already said she will begin talks to strike a trade deal with New Zealand in the coming months.
Mr Downer told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Australia's access for businesses had often been a part of its free trade negotiations.
"It might just make it a bit simpler actually," he said.
"For example, an Australian company that invests in the UK might want to bring some of its executives to the UK.
"That can be done with what are called tier 2 visas, but maybe that could be made a little bit easier.
"I suspect they would be the only sort of changes you'd be looking at."
Mr Downer suggested the negotiations over visa arrangements should be discussed at the same time as striking a deal on the free movement of goods.
An Australia-UK agreement could be reached very quickly after Brexit, he said, referring to the deal Canberra struck with Washington in eight months during George W Bush's presidency.
Mr Downer said the two nations had already been in talks over what a free trade agreement could look like.
"Obviously once the UK leaves the EU it can negotiate free trade agreements but not before then.
"But we can scope it out and we've provided a scoping paper to the British government to explain what we think the scope of a free trade agreement should look like."
Under current immigration rules, Australians coming to the UK for work must obtain a tier two visa, which allows them to stay in Britain for a maximum of five years and 14 days.
People are eligible to get one only if they have a skilled job in the UK, a certificate of sponsorship from their employer and a minimum of £945 in savings.
Australians also need to prove they will be earning an appropriate salary, which is usually at least £25,000, or the appropriate rate for the job offered, although there are exemptions to the rules.

The emotions of four years could be released in the aftermath, but the club can only treat it as another staging post in their return to the top flight.
The performance in the Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic was at times accomplished and slick. It took a penalty shootout to separate the teams in the end, but with Rangers having played to their potential and Ronny Deila's side falling short of their own, the result was more than justified.
Rangers manager Mark Warburton stressed that work must continue to improve the squad, while chairman Dave King indicated plans remain in place to strengthen the squad.
So, what does the immediate future hold as Rangers prepare for next season's Scottish Premiership campaign?
Rangers only named five substitutes at Hampden, including 17-year-old midfielder Liam Burt. Injuries to Martyn Waghorn and Harry Forrester left the squad short up front, along with Michael O'Halloran and Billy King being ineligible.
The team needs strengthening - and the squad also needs more depth. Rangers have been relatively fortunate with injuries this season, but if the team wins the Scottish Cup final against Hibernian then Europa League commitments would place further strain on the squad.
Yet Warburton wanted a small, tight group to ensure all the players would be regularly involved and to maintain their hunger and desire.
A smaller squad also provides a route to the first team for players from the youth set-up, but Rangers were light on options on Sunday with substitutes Nicky Law, Nicky Clark and Gedion Zelalem only being bit-part figures this term.
The starting line-up also needs additions in key positions. For all that Wes Foderingham is comfortable on the ball and so contributes significantly to Rangers' approach of building from the back, doubts remain about the goalkeeper.
Rob Kiernan and Danny Wilson played well on Sunday, but Rangers have been fragile at the back at times. That might be improved by the presence of an experienced, assertive and physically imposing holding midfielder, a position Warburton has long sought to fill.
The team needs more height and prowess in the air. Rangers tend to take short corners but still need to be able to defend their own area at set pieces. A centre-forward is also required, along with more options for the wide areas to provide competition.
None of that will be news to Warburton, who has been planning for next season, and the new recruits will need to fit into his game plan, so be technically adroit and tactically flexible.
Warburton has generally preferred to sign players he knows, either from working with them at Watford or Brentford or coming up against them in the Championship, League One or academy level.
That can be restrictive, but the examples of Andy Halliday and Jason Holt ought to encourage a wider perspective. Both impressed in training before they were offered deals and have emerged as key players for the Ibrox side.
They were prominent, influential and accomplished on Sunday, setting the tempo and tone of the team's display. That reflects their performances this season.
Rangers' possession game was vital to their semi-final win. It established their confidence and assurance in the first half and took the sting out of Celtic's resurgence after the break.
When Rangers were under pressure, the instinctive reliance on passing and movement restored some composure to their play. The team is also more comfortable in possession because the defence can be left exposed by the attacking full-backs and the way Holt and Halliday can play high up the pitch.
Yet for all that time on the ball, Rangers created fewer clear-cut chances against Celtic. There is a balance between routine and meaningful possession, which Warburton's team has tended to fall on the right side of more often than not, but stepping up a level, or two if they reach Europe, will mean that the approach needs to be executed by better players.
Warburton has established foundations for the club to build on. The 4-3-3 shape and possession-based approach is used throughout the youth set-up and the philosophy will run deep at the training ground.
It has delivered success this season and can do so again in the next campaign. Warburton managed the same feat when he took Brentford from League One to the Championship play-off places.
Rangers fans have rediscovered the joy of following their team after a spell in the doldrums and amidst off-field turmoil. Ensuring that feel-good factor continues is important for the board as much as the team.
Season tickets need to be sold in large enough numbers to reduce the need for external investment from directors and shareholders as part of the rebuilding process, although that funding will be available when required.
Keeping Warburton at Ibrox will also be critical to that sense of optimism - although the club must always have a succession plan in place and a clear strategy for maintaining the progress the Englishman has made.
He will be intrigued by a potential experience of European football and has stressed his commitment to the project at Ibrox. Suitors, though, will only have been impressed by the work carried out this season and some will inevitably come calling.
The shrewdest approach for the club is to accept that managers come and go, develop a long-standing strategy that maintains continuity and guides the search for successors, and establish a recruitment department and policy that works with - but is independent to - whoever is in charge of the first team.
That can all happen in time. For now, Rangers are on the right course, but with much work still to do to achieve the club's goals.
Firefighters cut the woman free from her vehicle on the eastbound carriageway between Pencoed and Miskin just before 18:00 GMT on Friday.
Police said she was being treated at Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend for head and spinal injuries.
The M4 eastbound was closed for investigations to take place and has since reopened.
Anyone who witnessed the incident involving a white Citroen has been asked to contact police on 101.
The free agent, who won 16 Wales caps between 2007 and 2011, has made over 250 senior club appearances.
Eardley, 27, started at Oldham, moving on to Blackpool and Birmingham and had a brief loan spell at Leyton Orient in the 2014-15 season.
Hibs are a point behind Scottish Championship leaders Queen of the South after seven games.
The 25-year-old scored 18 goals for United this season and leaves Tannadice under freedom of contract after their Premiership play-off final defeat.
He signed for United from Arbroath for £50,000 in January 2015 and was loaned back to the Red Lichties for the remainder of the campaign.
Hibs boss Neil Lennon said: "Simon is a great player, one who enjoyed a personally solid season with United."
Murray is Lennon's second summer signing following a deal to recruit midfielder Danny Swanson from St Johnstone.
His father, Gary, played for Hibs in the 1980s, having joined from Montrose, where Simon started his career.
"He's strong, he's quick with a good turn of pace, plus he knows how to find the back of the net," the Hibs boss told his club website.
"He has fantastic attributes and a real hunger to continue to improve as well - I'm delighted to have secured his services for next season.
"With the players who have renewed and Danny Swanson coming in as well, I believe we are moving in the right direction with our recruitment, and that process is still ongoing to ensure we have as strong a squad as possible for the club's return to the top flight."

The Welsh-qualified second-row has already linked up with Blues and is available for their Pro12 clash in Glasgow on 7 January.
Blues head coach, Danny Wilson, said 22-year-old Edwards would provide essential cover.
"BJ is a promising, Welsh qualified player and has represented Bristol in the Premiership A-League," said Wilson.
"With George Earle's suspension and the injuries we have in the back-five of the pack it was important we brought in another player.
"He will provide much needed cover for a few weeks while the likes of Josh Turnbull and Seb Davies are side-lined."
Edwards joined Bristol from from Eastern Suburbs in Australia in the summer.
Regarded as a physical and athletic second-row, Edwards previously represented Queensland County before coming through the Eastern Suburbs ranks.
The short-track speed skater was disqualified from each of her three events at the Sochi 2014 Olympics.
And the Scot, 27, who in March became the first British woman to win a world speed skating title, is out to put that behind her in South Korea.
"Part of me does need it, with what happened in Sochi and to get redemption for the mistakes I made," she said.
"I definitely want it more than anything else.
"I still have a few things I need to work on to perfect things going into the Games, but it mainly is just about the Olympics.
"I don't want to give everything I've got at the qualifiers. I want to save something so they can't analyse my performance and they don't know exactly how strong I am right now.
"I want to get a really good ranking of course, but for me it's about a really good performance at the Games, and to give them something they've not seen before."
Christie became triple world champion at the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Rotterdam earlier this year.
But she revealed winning the overall European Championship short-track speed skating title in the same venue as her Sochi disappointment was the initial hurdle to get over.
"The first thing was being European Champion in Sochi [in January 2016], which tackled it head on," Christie added. "And to have that little bit of success at the new Olympic venue [at the ISU World Cup event at Gangneung, South Korea] was a total restart for me.
"I was against the favourite, Choi Min-jeong - the previous world champion - and I managed to beat her in her home ground.
"I've got the upper hand in a way, it felt really good. I'm just so excited to get back out there."
Captain Marissa Callaghan's second-half goal proved enough for Alfie Wylie's side as they avenged a 1-0 defeat by the Portuguese earlier this week.
Northern Irish keeper Jackie Burns made several fine saves but Kerry Montgomery also went close for the visitors.
Avilla Bergin set up Callaghan's winner with a superb cross.
As Portugal chased an equaliser, Jessica Foy and Ashley Hutton made a couple of crucial interventions while substitute striker Lauren Brennan also held the ball up well, when the Northern Irish did attempt to counter.
Manager Wylie made three changes from the starting line-up that lost last time out with Lauren Wade, Ciara Sherwood and Bergin replacing Kirsty McGuinness, Laura Rafferty and Caragh Miligan.
About 4,000 litres - worth about £5,000 - were taken from the site north of Carsphairn near to Windy Standard between 4 and 6 January.
It follows a similar incident in which 1,500 litres were taken between 23 December and 4 January.
PC Ian Dunn said a "large vehicle" would have been used in the thefts.
"The site where the fuel was stolen is located almost a 30-minute drive into the forest from the A713 north of Carsphairn," he said.
"We are seeking the help of those who use the A713 road and want to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious on this road between Wednesday and Friday last week.
"Callers can contact police at Castle Douglas through the 101 number."
Jordan Romero, from California, telephoned his mother from the peak of the world's highest mountain, she said.
"Mom, I'm calling you from the top of the world," Leigh Anne Drake quoted her son as saying.
He was climbing with his father and three Sherpa guides. The previous record was held by a Nepalese boy of 16.
The 13-year-old has now conquered the highest mountains on six of the world's seven continents.
He climbed Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro aged 10. He just needs to scale the Vinson Massif in Antarctica.
He has also scaled Mount Kosciuszko in Australia.
The team set off from Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, last month, heading for the base camp on the Chinese side of the mountain.
While Nepal insists that anyone planning to climb Mount Everest must be 16, China does not impose any age restrictions.
Some mountaineers have criticised the Romero family for letting him attempt the feat but his father said the ascent from the Chinese side is less dangerous, the AFP news agency reports.
Last month, his mother told the BBC he would do some school work during the trip.
Also on Saturday, Apa Sherpa, 50, climbed Everest for the 20th time, surpassing his own record.
"It's an honour to be with you," Mr Trump told Mr Putin, who responded: "I'm delighted to meet you personally."
Both sides listed a wide range of topics discussed, including Russia's alleged meddling in the US election.
Climate change and trade are set to dominate the two-day G20 meeting.
Violent clashes between protesters and police have taken place in the streets outside the venue, with dozens left injured.
A huge police operation is trying to keep demonstrators - who are protesting against the presence of Mr Trump and Mr Putin, climate change and global wealth inequalities - well away from the summit venue, and water cannon have been deployed.
Earlier, US First Lady Melania Trump was unable to leave her hotel in Hamburg because of the protests.
"Putin and I have been discussing various things, and I think it's going very well," Mr Trump told reporters while sitting alongside Mr Putin at the start of the talks, which were open to the media.
"We've had some very, very good talks. We're going to have a talk now and obviously that will continue. We look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for Russia, for the United States and for everybody concerned."
Mr Putin, via a translator, said that while they had spoken by phone, a phone conversation was never as good as meeting face to face.
Both men ignored shouted questions from reporters as the meeting went into private session.
Speaking afterwards, Mr Putin said: "I've had a very long conversation with the US president. We had a lot of issues to discuss, including Ukraine, Syria, and other problems, also some bilateral issues.
"We have again returned to the fight against terror and to cyber security."
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson largely confirmed these were the topics covered, saying the leaders connected quickly and had positive chemistry.
But the two sides seem unable to agree on the exact outcome of talks over the Russian hacking allegations.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Mr Trump accepted Mr Putin's assertions that they were not true.
Mr Tillerson, meanwhile, said the two men had had a "robust" discussion on the issue during the two hour and 15 minute meeting, and that Mr Trump had pressed the Russian leader on several occasions.
However, he said it was not clear whether the two countries would ever come to an agreement on what happened.
"I think the president is rightly focused on how do we move forward from something that may be an intractable disagreement at this point," Mr Tillerson said, according to the Associated Press news agency.
Mr Tillerson also said they had discussed Syria and its future, and shared "commonalities on what outcome should be", although they had different ideas on how to get there.
They have, however, agreed to declare a ceasefire in south-west Syria from Sunday, Mr Lavrov said.
Earlier, a brief video clip posted on the German government's Facebook page showed Mr Trump and Mr Putin meeting for the first time and shaking hands, with Mr Trump patting Mr Putin's arm as they smiled in the company of other leaders.
The words were warm enough, but the body language was restrained as this meeting began. Neither man was smiling much as both said they hoped for positive results from their encounter. Their handshake, when it finally came, was brief and businesslike.
But they clearly had plenty to talk about, as their meeting went on well over the time allocated. Russia sees that alone as a success, proof that Vladimir Putin is a global leader to be reckoned with. No-one here is expecting any big deals though, like lifting sanctions for example.
The Kremlin has stressed all along that its main aim is to establish a "working dialogue" with Donald Trump, and perhaps begin the slow process of restoring relations with the US, which are at their lowest point in many years.
The two men staked out opposing views on major international issues in the run-up to the summit:
The G20 (Group of Twenty) is a summit for 19 countries, both developed and developing, plus the EU.
In her summit opening statement, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said: "We are all aware of the great global challenges.
"We know that time is short and therefore solutions very often can only be found if we are ready to compromise and work together without bending over backwards too much because, of course, we can express different views on some issues."
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has urged G20 leaders to impress upon Mr Trump that he should act as a role model in addressing climate change.
"We'll tell him it's important to take a lead role in tackling climate change and creating good jobs," he told German tabloid Bild, according to Reuters news agency.
Mrs Merkel has said the G20 will focus on the Paris climate deal but, as the G20 host, she will work to find compromises.
Mrs Merkel and other EU leaders have also expressed their commitment to an open international trading system, while the Trump administration pursues protectionism under the "America First" motto.
On Friday, the US first lady had been due to take part in an excursion with other leaders' spouses, but her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said: "The Hamburg police could not give us clearance to leave."
Mrs Trump herself tweeted concern for those injured in the protests.
Fiona Hyslop was speaking as she outlined the Scottish government's vision for the future of the BBC after the current review of its charter.
The Scottish government has been given a formal role in the charter process.
It is currently consulting on its vision for the future of the BBC.
As part of the process, Ms Hyslop recently met UK Culture Secretary John Whittingdale, and James Purnell, who is leading the review for the BBC. She is also due to meet BBC director general Lord Hall next month.
Mr Whittingdale has said the charter review will look at whether the broadcaster should continue to be "all things to all people" or have a more "precisely targeted" mission.
Lord Hall promised an "open BBC" that collaborates with rival media and the public, and serves as a "catalyst for this country's incredible talent", in his initial response to the UK government's review of the BBC's royal charter.
The Scottish government wants the review to allocate a greater share of the overall BBC budget to BBC Scotland, and for an additional Scottish TV channel and radio station to be developed.
Under its proposals, budgets would be transferred to BBC Scotland to allow "independent decision making" in relation to commissioning and editorial decisions, as well as staffing structures and the wider running of the broadcaster.
This would enable BBC Scotland to directly commission programmes, which Ms Hyslop believes would help to support the creative industries in Scotland.
She has argued that this would not require new money, but merely a re-allocation of existing funding,
Ms Hyslop also outlined proposals for the BBC to operate under a federal structure, with boards made up of BBC staff and independent members operating in Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland.
She said: "The UK has changed dramatically since devolution but the BBC has yet to catch-up with the impact of devolution and truly reflect the complex, varied and rich realities of our society.
"Scotland has the right to expect something truly radical from the Charter review, if the BBC is to meet the needs and reflect the lives of Scottish audiences to support the development of a sustainable production sector in Scotland.
"My ambition on this journey is a destination that sees the BBC in Scotland delivering a public service both in how it does its business as well as the high quality and meaningful content experienced by audiences.
"I want to see content that is genuinely representative and empowers and inspires debate, from Selkirk to Shetland, from Paisley to Portree."
Ms Hyslop was speaking at a consultation event in Glasgow, which saw leading figures from Scotland's TV sector meet to discuss the possibilities of charter renewal and how to work together to support the BBC as a "quality public sector broadcaster meeting the needs of Scotland".
Speaking at the same event, BBC Scotland's head of public policy, Ian Small, said the corporation shared the ambitions of Scotland's creative sector.
He added: "The BBC's charter document offers a vision of what the BBC could, and indeed should, look like in the years to come - open, creative, distinctive and one where audiences have a much more personal relationship with us a broadcaster.
"We want to improve the quality and quantity of our output, we want to help grow the production sector, we want to encourage innovation and investment and we want to help skill and train the next generation of journalists, of young programme makers, of writers and producers."
The BBC's Charter proposals for the future, he said, will add to that existing output and will include a number of pan-UK initiatives that both BBC Scotland and the industry in Scotland will benefit from.
These include The Ideas Service, which will bring content from the BBC and partners such as The Royal Conservatoire, Creative Scotland and MG ALBA together in one online place; a digital iPlay platform which will offer access to the vast range of BBC Children's output; and ongoing investment in British drama and comedy.
Scottish Labour's Claire Baker said: "It is important that we have a sustainable BBC in Scotland where skills are harnessed, jobs are secured and high-quality programmes are produced.
"That is why Scottish Labour is calling for increased investment for BBC Scotland and for retaining and improving the quotas system for commissioning.
"Whilst we will be laying out Scottish Labour's view on the BBC's future in the weeks ahead, it is vital that this Charter Renewal process is driven by the public, not politicians, and secures the best deal for licence-fee payers and the creative industries in Scotland."
And Scottish Conservative culture spokeswoman Liz Smith said: "The SNP cannot make their mind up about the BBC. The constantly complain about skewed coverage of Scottish issues, yet are happy to demand more money for Scotland.
"The Scottish Government loves to use the BBC as a political football to fight its own separation agenda, and it seems this is another example of that."
The former Tour de France winner said he was "gutted" after sustaining a "small leg fracture" while taking part in snowcross training.
Channel 4 said Sir Bradley had been keen to continue but would not appear after the fourth show in the series.
Last year, injuries to a number of celebrities prompted a review of safety procedures on the reality show.
Sir Bradley, who announced his retirement from cycling in December, tweeted: "Gutted to be leaving The Jump. I wanted to give you an injury update.
"Seen a specialist, I have a small leg fracture and need to rest for 3-6 weeks. Good news no surgery or cast required.
"Huge thanks to the crew and good luck to all of the cast. Due to the way the show is filmed, I'll still be on until show four, so tune in.
"No horror smash, small training injury which means I can't compete. No terrible break, no cast, just need to rest it."
The 36-year-old is Britain's most decorated Olympian with eight medals - five of them gold - and won the Tour de France in 2012.
Before his departure, model Vogue Williams left this season of the show after suffering a knee injury in training.
Last year's series of The Jump was dogged by injuries, which resulted in seven celebrities quitting the programme.
They included former Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle and actress Tina Hobley.
Tweddle required neck surgery after a crash last February, while Hobley is still recovering from leg and arm injuries.
Other casualties have included Olympians swimmer Rebecca Adlington, Sir Steve Redgrave and Linford Christie.
The water level of more than 5kms (3 miles) of the canal at Linlithgow is to be reduced with 30,000 cubic metres of water drained from the section.
The section will be refilled on 16 February.
It will allow engineers to carry out a detailed study of embankments, repair leakages, and remove any obstructions.
On 17 January, visitors will be able to watch fish being temporarily moved, and see a wide variety of wildlife and habitats on the waterway with Scottish Canals' environment team.
The engineering of the 200-year-old canal will also be explored.
On 4 February, visitors will be able to hear from engineering team about how they are working to safeguard the canal's heritage and take a tour.
Richard Millar, director of infrastructure at Scottish Canals, said: "The 200-year-old Union Canal is a much-loved asset that attracts more than 10 million visits each year from everyone from boaters and cyclists to joggers and walkers.
"However, many of them visit the waterway without ever seeing all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, and below the waterline, to look after the heritage, engineering, and habitats of the scheduled monument.
"The project we're undertaking at Linlithgow is a fantastic chance for the public to see the scale of work that goes into caring for the incredible infrastructure of the Union Canal, glimpse the craftsmanship of the waterway's 18th Century design as it exists below the waterline, and take a tour of the canal's history, engineering, and habitats led by the people who know it best - our passionate and knowledgeable engineers, environmental scientists, and heritage experts.
"We may be their custodians, but these canals belong to the people of Scotland and are there for everyone to enjoy. I'd encourage everyone to come along to the open days to see the Union Canal as they've never seen it before and learn more about the hard work we undertake to care for the built and natural heritage of this amazing asset."
The open days will be held between 13:00 and 15:00 on 17 January and 4 February, at the Linlithgow Union Canal Society's Mel Gray Centre at Manse Road Basin, Linlithgow.
It's home to some stunning Lake District scenery - but their visits have been with an eagerly-anticipated by-election in mind.
Voters go the polls on 23 February to elect a replacement for Labour MP Jamie Reed, who quit Parliament to work in the nuclear industry.
It's one of two by-elections taking place that day, with Labour also defending the seat of Stoke-on-Trent Central.
The remote coastal seat is mainly rural, hill-farming country and includes Scafell Pike, England's tallest mountain, and Wastwater, its deepest lake, which was named Britain's favourite view in 2007.
It is also home to the fishing port of Whitehaven and the Sellafield nuclear processing site, which directly employs over 10,000 people.
Labour has chosen Gill Troughton as its candidate. The councillor and former doctor and ambulance driver was chosen from an all-woman shortlist.
Up against her for the Conservatives is Trudy Harrison, who lives in the village of Bootle and was a parish councillor for a number of years.
UKIP has chosen its 2015 general election candidate, Fiona Mills.
The Liberal Democrats have chosen Rebecca Hanson and the Green Party Jack Lenox as their candidates.
There are also two independent candidates - Michael Guest and Roy Ivinson.
Copeland and its predecessor Whitehaven have been Labour since 1935, but the seat has become more marginal in recent years.
Mr Reed, who had been an MP since 2005, held the seat by 2,564 votes from the Conservatives in 2015, with UKIP another 8,038 votes behind in third.
The Tories are bidding to become the first governing party to make a by-election gain - not including a 1982 poll triggered by a defecting Labour MP - since 1960.
With nearly 11,000 people employed at Sellafield, thousands more in the supply chain and a new power plant proposed in the constituency, the nuclear industry has been a key issue.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's previous opposition to new nuclear power stations has been highlighted by his opponents, although the Labour leader has since given his backing for the £10bn Moorside plant, due to open in 2024.
Doubts were raised over the project after Toshiba, which has a 60% share in NuGen, the firm behind the scheme, sustained heavy losses.
During a visit to the constituency, Prime Minister Theresa May was asked about union calls for the government to guarantee the investment to ensure the project goes ahead, saying her party "recognises the importance" of the nuclear industry.
The prime minister also faced questions about the future of Whitehaven's West Cumberland Hospital, with Labour campaigning hard on the future of the maternity unit amid concerns consultant-led services could be moved elsewhere.
A key link road, the A595, has also been inspected by both Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling and his Labour counterpart, Andy McDonald, with campaigners calling for urgent improvements to be made.
Polls will be open from 07:00 GMT on 23 February until 22:00 BST, with the result expected overnight.
Birrell Stewart was declared dead after being recovered from the water a mile off the Fife coast on Monday.
Two other men, Jason Buchan and David Stead are still missing.
Mr Stewart's family said they were "devastated" by the death of the "loving son, brother and dad".
They added: "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Jason Buchan and David Stead who are still missing.
"We would also like to thank all the emergency services who worked so hard to try and save his life."
The three amateur fishermen, who were all from East Wemyss, were fishing for mackerel.
David Stead is understood to have moved to the area from Hartlepool.
They were reported missing in worsening weather conditions, and the coastguard launched a search operation.
The 10ft boat was found before Mr Stewart was located. He was airlifted to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, where he was declared dead.
Local councillor Tom Adams, who knows the men, said they were good friends who made regular trips out on the boat fishing for mackerel.
He said the tragedy was ''devastating for the whole coast''.
Scientists have begun tests on the use of spent grain from distilleries and also seaweed, crab shells and coffee grounds in absorbing Strontium-90.
The radioactive isotope is present in liquid waste inside Dounreay's Shaft.
Sunk in the 1950s close to the shores of the Pentland Firth, The Shaft plunges 65.4m (214.5ft) below ground.
Radioactive waste was disposed there from 1959 to 1977, when an explosion ended the practice.
It has been the subject of local legend, including the claim that one worker dropped his mother-in-law's ashes inside.
Thurso's Environmental Research Institute, which is part of the University of the Highlands and Islands' North Highland College, has started the investigation into the potential of spent grain, seaweed, shells and coffee grounds.
Known as biosorption, non-living biological materials are used as an alternative to artificially-made materials.
Biosorption is already used to extract tiny pieces of gold and silver from sewage.
Mike Gearhart, who leads the Dounreay Shaft and Silo project team, said: "We are pleased to be working with ERI to identify a sustainable solution that can be sourced locally.
"We still have a number of issues to address but results to date have been very promising."
The Silo - which has been described as being like a swimming pool with a concrete roof - was also used for dumping radioactive material from experiments at Dounreay.
Kaymer and Donald will join a Royal County Down field which includes Rickie Fowler, Sergio Garcia, Ernie Els and world number one Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy's charitable foundation is hosting the 28-31 May event and he has coaxed a host of top stars to compete.
American Patrick Reed and England's Lee Westwood will also participate.
Media playback is not supported on this device
In addition, the field will include major winners Graeme McDowell, Darren Clarke and Padraig Harrington.
The prize fund for the European Tour event has also increased by 25% with this year's purse just under £1.8m.
Els revealed that he agreed to compete at Royal County Down in the hope of convincing McIlroy to play in next year's South African Open.
"We kind of struck a little deal myself and Rory," Els told BBC Sport Northern Ireland.
"I'm going to play in his Irish Open this year. It's at (Royal) County Down an unbelievably classic links course.
"I'm hoping to get him to play in our home open, the South African Open. We'll see how that pans out."
Seonaid (Shona) Bacon was reported missing after she was last seen at about 12:20 in the Skelmanae area, near the A98 Fraserburgh to Banff road.
People living in the area have been asked to check garages and sheds.
She is described as 5ft 6in, with short, white hair. She was last seen wearing a white dressing gown, slippers and grey tracksuit bottoms.
Insp Kevin Goldie, of Police Scotland, said: "It is out of character for Seonaid to not be in touch with family or friends and as time goes by we are increasingly concerned for her well-being.
"We are asking residents in the local area to please check any outbuildings, garages or sheds for signs that someone may have sought shelter there.
"Searches are being carried out in the local area including the use of a search dog and the Police Scotland helicopter."
Hylton, 27, was Oxford's third-highest scorer as the U's won promotion to League One but has turned down a new deal to remain in the fourth tier.
Mullins, 30, made 51 appearances in all competitions this season but was released earlier this month.
"Luton have got a fantastic style of play, especially since Nathan came on board," Hylton told the club website.
"It's an honour to join Luton - it's a massive club."
Mullins added: "When a club like Luton call, it was a no-brainer - I wanted to join. I've come to get promoted and play in front of some top-drawer fans." | Schools in England will no longer be rated as "outstanding" by inspectors if they fail to close the attainment gap between poor and affluent children.

But the rest of Europe has been caught short too.
There's been a cacophony of contradictory political statements across the EU since Friday morning.
There have been demands the UK must give immediate official notice to the EU that it is leaving; except it doesn't. There have been alarm bells that the EU is disintegrating, set off by determined insistences that the bloc is more united than ever.
Now that the dust is settling, a bit, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is attempting to take control, as she tends to in most things EU.
Her priorities: to get Britain out smoothly, as soon as is practical (ensuring German trade interests, of course) and also to safeguard the future of the EU.
For her, Brexit now is all about damage limitation.
Monday's meeting in Berlin with the leaders of France and Italy is as much about image as content.
It's a signal and a photo-op ahead of Tuesday's EU summit in Brussels that, at its core, the EU is united in purpose and unflustered by the British vote.
Including Matteo Renzi of Italy in Monday's pow-wow in Berlin was a canny move.
He's there to represent the EU others.
To try to avoid accusations of Franco-German elitism or German domination in the EU at a time when voters are more Eurosceptic than ever.
Concerned about calls in their own countries to now hold referendums on EU membership, Europe's leaders have rushed to make statements about "listening to the people".
Expect more of the same in Berlin later. But with a more positive, less panicked-sounding spin.
Matteo Renzi, for example now describes Brexit as a great opportunity for Europe to make "long-needed" changes.
Not long ago it had been assumed that a UK vote to leave would be followed by decisive moves towards "more Europe", as the European Commission describes integrationist policies.
In particular, an attempt by the eurozone to press ahead with plans to complete monetary and banking union.
The foreign ministers of France and Germany have just authored a discussion paper setting out a blueprint for a "strong Europe in an uncertain world", with an invitation to other EU countries to join "a political union".
But their bosses, Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande, are wary. Very wary. Of further alienating a Eurosceptic public with suggestions of pooling even more national sovereignty.
Both leaders are, of course, heading into what could become extremely bruising election campaigns at home (particularly for President Hollande).
So it is expected that EU leaders will concentrate on "safe" common positions this week, demonstrating EU unity without wildly waving the federalist flag.
France and Germany will likely concentrate on security and defence.
Not the EU army idea that caused so much consternation in the UK, but rather initiatives thought to be acceptable to the broader European public such as common anti-terror measures and the formation of an EU coastguard to be used in the migrant crisis.
But despite Angela Merkel's best efforts - and possibly also because of them, from countries that resent Germany's dominating role - divisions will continue between EU nations, political parties within them and with the European Commission over the whens and hows of the UK's exit, and where the EU goes from here.
Chief Constable George Hamilton said he was "surprised" at the claim by former Police Ombudsman Baroness Nuala O'Loan.
She said some paramilitary informants recruited by the security forces during the Troubles were "serial killers".
Mr Hamilton questioned her assessment of the "scale" of killings and said informers saved "thousands of lives".
However, the PSNI Chief Constable added that during the Troubles, there were "no rules" governing how security force handlers dealt with paramilitary agents.
Baroness O'Loan's remarks are to be broadcast on Thursday night, as part of a BBC Panorama programme examining the extent of security force collusion with paramilitary agents during decades of violence in Northern Ireland.
She told Panorama that the police and Army allowed informers to commit crime, up to and including murder, with "impunity".
"They were running informants and they were using them. Their argument was that by so doing they were saving lives, but hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people died because those people were not brought to justice and weren't stopped in their tracks," she said.
Baroness O'Loan added: "Many of them were killers and some of them were serial killers."
However, the PSNI Chief Constable took issue with her remarks.
Speaking on the BBC's Nolan Show, Mr Hamilton said: "My understanding is that there were hundreds if not thousands of lives saved through the work of informants and police and, in those days, Army working with those informants. I'm not saying that everything that was done was done to the standards of today."
Referring to Baroness O'Loan's claim that the security forces operated outside the rules, the Chief Constable said: "I would challenge that, it's not actually accurate. There were no rules."
He added: "There was no regulatory framework for handling of informants at that time. That's not an excuse by the way, it's just simple a statement of fact."
However, he said that there was "no hiding place" for anyone who operated outside the law.
He said it was the PSNI's job to investigate crime "no matter how long ago", and added it was the Police Ombudsman's responsibility to investigate allegations that members of the security forces broke the law.
Mr Hamilton said that since the introduction of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIPA) Act 2000, the conduct of covert operations by UK security forces is heavily regulated and scrutinised.
Supporting Sisters was set up to distribute sanitary products to homeless women in the UK but recently started sending supplies to Calais.
Founder Georgia-Blue Townshend from Colchester said they had been "inundated" with offers of help.
The group plans to make a monthly trip.
"Since the photo was published I've seen double the amount of people contacting me asking how they can help and donate," Ms Townshend said.
"We have a huge supply of maternity pads - about 60,000 - so we wanted to take some of those over," she said.
Since starting fundraising in early August, the group has raised almost £3,000 and took a van full of supplies to Calais last weekend.
"We put a message on Facebook to say we were going in a van, so if people had donations we could take them.
"I was inundated with hundreds of people offering stuff for us to take. The amount of support was fantastic."
Members of the group who took the supplies to Calais had found the experience "overwhelming", the 22-year-old added.
"One thing that stuck in their minds were half-naked children playing in rubbish in the camps, where there are no bins.
"It was incredibly distressing - the kids were smiling because they were safer in that rubbish than where they'd come from."
The Dow Jones closed up 293 points, or 1.8%, at 16,351.
The Nasdaq jumped 114 points, or 2.5%, to 4,750 while the S&P 500 was up 35 points, or 1.8% at 1,949.
Earlier Chinese stock markets recovered from sharp falls, with analysts suggesting Beijing had intervened to prop up the market.
The Federal Reserve's Beige Book suggested steady economic growth for the US economy.
Technology firms led the day's gains, with Apple up 4.6%, Microsoft up 3.7% and Intel gaining 2.8%.
Ronald Berry, from Hull, was so highly regarded that when the wartime prime minister died in 1965, the fighter ace was one of 14 members of the "Few" chosen to march at the head of Churchill's state funeral procession.
He was a Spitfire pilot with the Royal Air Force during what came to be known as the Battle of Britain and flew more than 400 combat missions in World War II.
During the battle, Mr Berry's exploits included shooting down three German Messerschmitt 109s in one day's fighting and he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Bar.
Winston Churchill coined the famous phrase of the "Few", referring to RAF pilots, during a speech in the House of Commons after the Battle of Britain in 1940, when he said "never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".
Hull City Council is considering creating a permanent memorial to Mr Berry, possibly with a blue plaque at the place of his birth in Westcott Street.
Mr Berry was born in Hull in 1917 and was only 23 years old when he found himself in the thick of the Battle of Britain flying with 603 Squadron.
He had learned to fly as part of the RAF Volunteer Reserve before the war, said local author Donald Chester, who has written a book about the fighter ace's exploits.
The pilot's home town was heavily bombed by the German air force during the war and the author said Mr Berry "was the perfect expression of Hull fighting back".

Why Churchill ignored calls for WWII peace talks and vowed to fight on
He said during the Battle of Britain, Mr Berry shot down 10 enemy aircraft, claimed his part in the destruction of another six, had eight "probables" and also caused damage to nine.
Mr Chester said he had not initially heard about the local fighter ace but once he discovered him, he was determined to write the full story.
"I went to get press cuttings and found one from 1941. There was not even a local obituary as far as I could find," he added.
Mr Berry's nephew, Peter Long, 77, remembers as a young child seeing the pilot at the family home in Hull during World War II.
"I used to visit my grandma's even with the Blitz on. We were out in the shelter most nights," he said.
During those visits home his uncle "never used to brag about anything".
"He talked a bit about flying but it was the technical side," said Mr Long.
Mr Berry's physique helped his combat exploits because he was able to throw his Spitfire around the sky in numerous deadly dogfights, he said.
"Ron was small and thickset and he said it helped tremendously with the effects of G-force, he could take up more G-force," he said.
"It really did help in the twisting, tight turns of a dogfight. That's why he was never shot down," he added.
Mr Berry was promoted to the rank of squadron leader and by 1942 during Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of French North Africa, he was put in charge of a wing of five Spitfire squadrons at the age of 26.
Later he was sent to train new fighter pilots and was a wing commander by the time the war ended in 1945. He was then posted to America on an exchange with the US Air Force.
He also joined Bomber Command to lead a nuclear deterrent squadron of Valiants in the 1950s and by 1959 was working at the Air Ministry and rose to the rank of Air Commodore before retiring in 1969.
Mr Berry was appointed OBE in 1946 and CBE in 1965, and died in 2000.
Powell, 25, is back in action at the Havana Grand Prix at the weekend, competing with England's Gemma Gibbons for Team GB's -78kg ticket to Rio.
She has been absent for 10 weeks and said: "That nice little break has made me come back a lot stronger."
Powell wants success in Cuba ahead of the Paris Grand Slam on 6-7 February.
The 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medalist's main rival for the only Team GB slot available for Rio is London 2012 Games silver-medalist Gibbons.
Powell is currently eighth in the International Judo Federation rankings, with Gibbons 16th.
But mid-Wales bred Powell acknowledges much can change before selection for Rio is finalised and says the competition with Gibbons has its benefits.
"In the long term it just pushes you to get better," said Powell.
"It would be great to be on top of the podium in Cuba. That's obviously my aim, but Paris is the main one (for rankings points)."
Powell says her recent injury lay-off was the result of an arduous 2015, adding: "Looking at it now, having a rest was probably the best thing for me.
"I had such a busy year last year and I probably did a bit too much and it's probably why I got injured."
He said about dozens of villagers were abducted in Kandahar province earlier in the week.
About 30 have been released while at least 30 remain missing, he added.
The United Nations said the number of civilians killed in the country's conflict reached a new high of more than 1,600 in the first half of 2017.
Reports said the latest abduction happened when Islamist rebels launched co-ordinated attacks on a military camp on the Kandahar-Uruzgan Highway.
Local media said the militants accused the villagers of co-operating with the government.
Elsewhere, in the north of the country, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reopened a small medical clinic in the northern city of Kunduz.
It is the charity's first facility there since US air strikes destroyed a hospital it ran, killing 42 people including patients and staff, in 2015.
A US military inquiry found the strike was the result of "human error" but MSF called it a war crime.
Gen Joseph Votel, head of the US Central Command, said at the time that it could not be a war crime as it was unintentional.
The 2015 bombardment took place as US-backed Afghan forces were battling to reverse the Taliban's seizure of Kunduz.
"We are really happy to restart medical activities in Kunduz, though we know that the needs are much bigger than the ones we will provide," MSF's Silvia Dallatomasina told the BBC.
An MSF official said the clinic would only provide treatment for minor or chronic injuries.
"But this is just the first step to be able to - and we are willing to do it - restart proper trauma care in Kunduz city," she said.
The new facility, which has one doctor and five nurses, is not located at the site of the hospital bombed in 2015.
A US military inquiry found that doctors on the ground rang US officials 10 minutes into the attack, pleading for them to stop, but it was another 20 minutes before they did.
Other logos cited as offensive by the ADL include the Swastika and the "Blood Drop Cross" of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
The anti-bigotry group said "racists and haters" had "taken a popular internet meme and twisted it".
Pepe has recently been depicted as Adolf Hitler and a member of the white supremacist KKK.
Pepe made his debut in 2005 in artist Matt Furie's "Boy's Club" cartoons. Since then, pictures of the creature have spread through the online communities 4chan, 8chan, and Reddit, where users can post an image for others to comment on.
These are mostly used to express emotions or experiences, but some racist and anti-Semitic versions have spread virally on Facebook and Twitter.
Who are the 'Alt-Right'?
Trump Jr's Skittles graphic deleted from Twitter
"These anti-Semites have no shame," ADL's chief executive Jonathan A Greenblatt said. "They are abusing the image of a cartoon character, one that might at first seem appealing, to harass and spread hatred on social media."
The Alt-Right movement, a disparate group of right-wing social media users, has repeatedly shared Pepe re-workings on social media.
The movement has been described as an alternative to mainstream conservatism, but its proponents have repeatedly abused Jewish Americans and portrayed white people as oppressed.
The Alt-Right has claimed Mr Trump as its presidential candidate of choice. The mogul has not approved it, but did re-tweet a caricature depicting him as Pepe the Frog in October 2015, with the caption "You Can't Stump the Trump".
The frog made headlines in mid-September when Hillary Clinton said most of Mr Trump's supporters belonged in a "basket of deplorables".
The Republican's son Donald Trump Jr shared an altered version of the movie poster for "The Expendables", which showed Pepe with his father and other conservatives, labelled "The Deplorables."
Mrs Clinton's team duly released a post titled "Donald Trump, Pepe the frog, and white supremacists: an explainer" claiming, "that cartoon frog is more sinister than you might realize".
In May 2016, the Daily Beast quoted an anonymous white nationalist saying that a campaign was under way to "reclaim Pepe from the normies" - internet slang for mainstream users.
The ADL has clarified that most Pepe memes are not racist, and that innocent versions will not be subject to the hate symbol designation.
"The mere fact of posting a Pepe meme does not mean that someone is racist or white supremacist," the group said.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) allows firms to rent cloud servers in order to host data on the internet without needing to invest in their own infrastructure.
On Tuesday, sites such as Quora, a Q&A forum, and Trello, which helps people monitor productivity, went down.
After several hours, Amazon said it had rectified the problem.
It did not make public the reason behind the disruption.
As well as sites that went down, other services, such as workplace collaboration tool Slack, also lost some key functionality.
Specifically, it was AWS's S3 - which stands for Simple Storage Service - that was affected.
To varying degrees it serves around 150,000 sites and services around the world, mostly in the US.
AWS is used by some of the web's most recognisable and powerful names including Netflix, Spotify and Airbnb. While none of those services went offline on Tuesday, users did report performance issues and slowdown.
US government services such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) were also affected.
Downtime is a critical issue for any cloud service. Amazon competes with Google, Microsoft and others for what is an increasingly lucrative line of business for the web giants.
Race organisers at Sunday's Indian Grand Prix could not use electronic timings due to a power cut at New Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
Amiya Kumar Mallick was 0.07 seconds inside the Olympic men's 100m mark.
Srabani Nandaware was 0.09 inside the women's time but like Mallick must try again at the same venue this week.
Mallick, 23, was timed at 10.09 seconds, breaking the national record by 0.21 seconds and surpassing the Olympic qualification mark of 10.16 seconds.
Nandaware, 24, won the women's sprint in 11.23 seconds, breaking the 16-year-old national record by 0.15 seconds as she surpassed the Olympic qualification time.
"It's disappointing because I knew I had run a quick time. But it will not count for anything because the electronic timing was not working," Mallick told the Indian Express.
An official at the Athletics Federation of India, which organised the event, said stadium administrators are blaming the blackout on a transformer fire.
"There were generators there but still they said there is no back up," the official told AFP.
The athletes have another opportunity to qualify for this summer's Olympics in Rio at the Federation Cup, which will be held at the same venue from 28-30 April.
"Watergate pales" with what the US is confronting now, said James Clapper.
US intelligence agencies believe Russia interfered in the US election and they are investigating alleged links between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
But there is no known evidence of collusion and President Donald Trump has dismissed the story as "fake news".
US intelligence chiefs are to be questioned on the matter by the Senate intelligence committee on Wednesday.
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Admiral Mike Rogers testified on Wednesday that they never felt pressure from Mr Trump to influence the inquiry into Russia's political meddling.
Thursday will see the much-anticipated testimony of Mr Comey, who was leading one of the Russia investigations before Mr Trump fired him.
He will be quizzed on his interactions with the president before he was sacked.
Mr Comey reportedly told Attorney General Jeff Sessions that he did not want to be left alone with the president.
Mr Clapper's comparison with Watergate will raise eyebrows - President Richard Nixon resigned amid an unprecedented American political scandal involving spying, burglary and a cover-up.
The former intelligence chief, speaking in Australia, said it was "absolutely crucial" for the US - and the world - to get to the bottom of the allegations.
Father Brendan Smyth was speaking at Requiem Mass at Holy Trinity church.
Mr Carson, 28, died after he was shot in the head at a house at Walmer Street in south Belfast last month.
Police said he was having a meal with his partner and nine-year-old son when at least three men carrying a hammer and a shotgun burst into the house.
Fr Smyth told mourners in west Belfast on Saturday that a family had had their lives "torn apart by darkness".
There was "an overwhelming sense of humanity's inability to learn from the past and the futility of such heinous and despicable acts," he said.
"Life is so cheap that it can be snuffed out in the blink of an eye or by the pulling of a trigger. There is no justification for treating life in such a way. "
Fr Smyth said it was "despicable" and that Mr Carson's family had been left to suffer.
"They shoulder the cross that has been thrust upon them," he said.
On a bitterly cold day, the family of Stephen Carson arrive for his funeral at Holy Trinity church in Turf Lodge.
The hearse carrying his coffin is decorated with floral tributes, "Brother", "Son" and "Fiancé"
Some family members are wearing tee shirts printed with an image of the 28-year-old.
He leaves behind grieving parents, brothers and a sister.
His fiancée and two young sons also followed the coffin out of the church to the sound of a popular rap song, while in the background the church bell tolled.
Father Brendan Smyth said the young man's family had been devastated by his loss, their lives torn apart.
The murder, he told those who had gathered, was a sad indictment of society today adding that, in some circles, life is cheap.
Police say the murder of Stephen Carson was part of a criminal feud.
Fr Smyth says there had been efforts by a local priest to find a resolution.
"Violence and and retribution will never bring resolution," he said.
The main line of inquiry for police is that Mr Carson was shot as part of a criminal feud. At the time of the shooting, a detective said Mr Carson had been known to police, but had been trying to get his life together.
Detectives are also investigating a possible link to the murder of pizza delivery driver Kieran McManus in west Belfast almost three years ago.
In April 2013, Mr McManus was shot a number of times at close range in a car park outside the pizza shop where he worked on Kennedy Way.
Police have appealed for information about the shooting.
He was arrested by counter-terrorism officers at a house in west London on Wednesday and questioned at a south London police station.
The man, who was also held on suspicion of fraud, has been bailed until August.
Police said 12 addresses were searched as part of the investigation - one in Hertfordshire and 11 in west London.
They said the enquiries related to an investigation into suspected terrorist activity in Syria.
Antonio D'Amico was Versace's partner for 15 years. He found the designer after he was shot in Miami in 1997.
D'Amico said an early image from FX's American Crime Story, which shows the reaction of his character - played by Ricky Martin - was wrong.
"The picture of Ricky Martin holding the body in his arms is ridiculous."
The 58-year-old told The Observer newspaper he had not been consulted for the series, which will be titled American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
He compared the photo to Michelangelo's Pieta, which depicts the body of Jesus in the arms of his mother after the crucifixion.
"Maybe it's the director's poetic licence, but that is not how I reacted," D'Amico said.
He explained that in reality, he ran out to find Versace on the steps of his Miami mansion but was soon dragged away from the scene.
He said: "I saw Gianni lying on the steps, with blood around him. At that point, everything went dark. I was pulled away, I didn't see any more."
But D'Amico said he wouldn't mind if Ricky Martin got in touch so he could offer him some insight into his former partner's life.
"It's getting to know the small things about a relationship… for example, Gianni was so ordered and focused at work but in his private life everything was disorganised," he told the paper.
"He'd leave the bathroom in a mess. At a certain point I said, 'Enough!' And when it came to cooking, he didn't even know how to [boil] an egg."
Versace, who was 50 when he died, was shot by Andrew Cunanan, who had murdered at least four other people in a three-month killing spree.
The body of Cunanan was found eight days later in a Miami houseboat following a huge manhunt. He had shot himself in the head with the gun he used to kill Versace.
American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace is set to air in 2018.

According to city officials, pollution has reached a "critical level".
Under the measures, around 40% of cars with a catalyst and 80% of those without are banned from the streets from 07:30 until 21:00 on Monday.
This June has been the driest since 1968 and the lack of rain has contributed to the poor air quality in the capital, officials say.
Santiago is located in a valley and when there is little wind and no rain, smog can hang over the city of six million inhabitants for days.
Industries considered particularly polluting have also been ordered to stay shut on Monday.
Residents have been urged not to exercise outdoors.
However, training sessions for teams competing in the Copa America football tournament, which Chile is hosting, are expected to go ahead.
No games are scheduled for Monday.
The first of the quarter-final games will be held in Santiago between Chile and Uruguay on Wednesday.
The authorities called on residents to show their "civic spirit and solidarity" on Monday by reducing pollution to a minimum.
The emergency measures will be in place for 24 hours, but officials can extend them if they deem it necessary.
The classroom is owned by the King Edward VI school, the direct successor to the grammar school in Stratford-upon-Avon attended by Shakespeare from about 1571.
It will be open to visitors after a £1.8m lottery-funded renovation.
Among the discoveries was a hidden pre-Reformation wall painting.
Bennet Carr, headmaster of the modern day grammar school, says of the atmospheric building: "If I'm on my own in there sometimes, the hairs stand on the back of my neck."
His school is now going to share the classroom with visitors, with the renovated building opening on Saturday, the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.
The schoolroom where Shakespeare studied from the age of seven was the upper floor of the town's half-timbered medieval guildhall.
There are no surviving records of the pupils who attended in the 16th Century.
But Prof Ronnie Mulryne of Warwick University says it is almost certain that this was Shakespeare's school, until about the age of 14 or 15.
William's father John Shakespeare, a businessman and member of the local council, would have worked in the offices below the schoolroom.
There would have been 40 boys, from the age of seven to 15, all taught together in the same room by a single teacher. They sat on long wooden benches, called "forms" for school days that stretched from 6am to 6pm.
This was a classical education, with a strong emphasis on Latin and rote learning, and it was where he first encountered writers such as Ovid, who would later be influential in his work.
Shakespeare didn't go to university and all his formal education would have been in this single room.
This classroom, under big wooden ceiling beams, has another claim to fame. It was where Shakespeare probably saw his very first play.
Travelling players visiting the town had to perform before the local authorities, before they would be licensed to appear before the public.
The schoolroom was the venue for these private performances and Prof Mulryne says William would have attended with his father, who was part of the invited audience.
"It's hardly conceivable that he wouldn't have taken an opportunity to see the plays," says Prof Mulryne.
Among the plays presented were King Leir - an early version of the story that Shakespeare would write as King Lear - and Henry V.
Prof Mulryne says these performers, arriving with drums, trumpets and costumes, must have made a huge impression - and this would have been Shakespeare's first contact with professional actors.
The guildhall, built in 1420, was named after a religious foundation - the Guild of the Holy Cross.
The guild was closed in the Reformation in the 1540s, but Prof Mulryne says it seemed to have "morphed" seamlessly into the new town council, based in the same building, with much the same people and keeping its upstairs school.
Under the new religious order, the medieval wall paintings in churches had to be removed as symbols of the old Catholic faith. Shakespeare's father was paid to "deface" the richly-coloured decorations in the guild chapel next door.
But it's open to debate whether he was trying to erase or preserve these works of religious art, because rather than destroy them they were concealed with a covering of limewash.
This also happened to an altar painting in the guildhall - and one of the biggest discoveries during the restoration was finding a well-preserved picture of John the Baptist, painted almost 600 years ago.
Such religious disputes were much more than cultural differences, it was a turbulent time of violence and political danger. And the schoolroom's story shows how closely a young Shakespeare was surrounded by the Tudor politics of religion.
While Shakespeare's own beliefs remain a matter of academic debate, it's clear that his teachers had strong links to the outlawed Catholic tradition.
Simon Hunt, who would have been Shakespeare's first teacher, left the school to become a Jesuit priest. His successors Thomas Jenkins and John Cottom also both had strong Catholic associations.
Cottom had a brother who was a priest who was executed in London, a year or so after Shakespeare had left school. In a small community, such stories must have caused shockwaves.
If there is any substance to the theory that Shakespeare spent time as a teacher in Lancashire, that also stemmed from the Cottoms, who were connected to the Hoghton family where a William Shakeshaft was recorded in the early 1580s.
Prof Mulryne says the school and guildhall help to put Shakespeare's background into its actual historical setting.
And it shows his early influences, including his "rather vivid, technicolour" father.
As well as being a successful entrepreneur and local worthy, John Shakespeare was also in the dock in this same building, facing charges for assault and for leaving a muck heap outside his door.
The young Shakespeare would have studied Latin plays upstairs and seen the drama of real-life courts and local politics downstairs.
"It gives us a much greater sense of what life was like for the young William Shakespeare," says Prof Mulryne.
"It builds a picture of how his mind was formed."
During an inspection, officials found Dr Bijan Saha's surgery in Sittingbourne failed to meet 11 standards of safety and patient care.
They identified "serious failings" at the Lakeside Medical Centre, including problems with privacy for patients, cleanliness and medication errors.
Dr Saha told the BBC he had no comment to make.
He is assisted by a GP, a practice manager and three administrative staff.
The regulator said it would be taking action against Dr Saha, who runs the practice in Todd Crescent, Church Milton, but no further details could be given for legal reasons.
Michele Golden, CQC's head of GP inspection in the South, said: "The issues that we have identified at Dr Saha's practice are very serious and we'd urge anyone who uses it to read our full report.
"We've shared our concerns with the rest of the local health economy and have asked that they also consider what action they may need to take to ensure that people using services at this practice are protected from harm.
"People using this practice are currently at unacceptable levels of risk and keeping them safe is a job for all of us."
Dr Saha was still practising but "under very close supervision from local health bodies including NHS England, a CQC spokesman added.
Outside the surgery on Wednesday, some patients criticised the care they had received.
Gwen Willmott, who left the practice, said: "I wasn't happy with the situation. My husband died and I thought he could have had better treatment from them."
Swale councillor Mike Whiting said it had concerned residents in the area.
But he emphasised the practice was still in operation: "I've been down here today and I've spoken to the receptionist in there and it is business as usual in the surgery."
During the unannounced inspection in March, inspectors found the practice failed to meet national standards of care in 11 areas.
Patients told inspectors that practice staff would talk about other cases in their presence - breaching patient confidentiality.
A CQC spokesman added: "Repeat prescriptions were issued without reviews having taken place and were often printed by administrative staff on the verbal instructions of Dr Saha.
"This procedure had led to a prescribing error which could have had very serious consequences for the patient concerned."
Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: "These findings are shocking and cause a great concern to us.
"GPs are the first port of call for patients and to be faced with such poor quality of service is completely unacceptable."
A survey showed that twice as many respondents thought emissions from transport were greater than from the global livestock sector.
Yet emissions from the two sectors are almost equal, the study explained.
It added that the goal of keeping the global temperature rise below 2C (3.6F) would be "off the table" unless there was a change in consumption patterns.
"Unless something is done about the inexorable rise in emissions from the livestock sector, which already accounts for about 14.5% of global emissions, the expected trend is upwards because meat and dairy are two of the fastest growing sub-sectors of agriculture," said lead author Rob Bailey, research director of energy, environment and resources at international affairs think-tank Chatham House, which produced the report.
"There is an increasing body of academic research that is of the view that unless something is done then the 2C target is off the table because there is not going to enough of the available global carbon budget left."
'Largely absent'
The study commissioned a 12-nation survey from pollsters Ipsos MORI to assess consumer awareness on the issue.
It found that 64% of respondents identified exhaust emissions from global transport as a major contributor to climate change, compared with 29% considering emissions from the production of meat and dairy as a major source of greenhouse gases.
"The issue of comparing transport and livestock emissions is just one example of what we see as an awareness gap on the topic of livestock and climate change," Mr Bailey explained.
"Across all the sectors we looked at in the survey, consumer awareness of the role of the livestock sector as a contributor to climate change was the lowest across all the countries were surveyed.
"That's a problem because what we also discovered in the survey was that the willingness of consumers to take action and reduce their emissions was very closely linked to their level of awareness of a particular issue.
Mr Bailey suggested one reason for the lack of awareness among people could be a result of agriculture being "largely absent" from the international negotiations on climate change.
"Even if you look at national mitigation plans for developed and developing countries, the agriculture sector is conspicuous by its absence," he observed.
"The most you get is some kind of voluntary initiative led by the private sector to reduce emission. In terms of public policy and regulation, there is almost nothing. There is a huge policy gap.
"This is odd given the size of the emissions the sector constitutes. If you look at other areas with comparable emissions, such as deforestation or transport, there is a whole range of policies that are being put in place."
However, the survey for the report, Livestock - Climate Change's Forgotten Sector, did identify potentially positive aspects among respondents.
It found that some of the greatest potential for behaviour change was in the emerging economies where much of the forecasted increase in consumption of livestock products was expected to occur.
"We found that in countries like Brazil, India and China was that consumers were more accepting of the science on climate change," said Mr Bailey.
"They were also more aware of the role of the livestock sector in causing climate change and they were more willing to reduce their carbon footprints through reducing their consumption of meat and dairy products.
"They also gave climate change a higher weighting in their food purchasing decisions."
But he added that per-capita consumption was currently much higher in developed nation, where there appeared to be "much lower levels of awareness and lower levels of willingness to engage with the issue".
'Vicious circle'
If people are not aware of the issue then it is unlikely that there will be public pressure on politicians to put the issue of emissions from the livestock sector on the negotiating table. In turn, if the issue is not on the political agenda, people are likely to remain unaware of the issue.
"Another result of this vicious circle is that there is a real lack of research on this issue because governments are not really seeing this as an area of public policy to pursue," Mr Bailey said.
"They are therefore not funding research on the topic. This was one of the things identified in the [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's] fifth assessment report. In the land-use and agriculture sectors, some of the possibly biggest opportunities to reduce emissions are through demand-side actions yet there is almost no research on the best way to go about that.
"The challenge is how you break that vicious circle. Hopefully once that starts to happen then governments will feel more confident and safer to tackle the agenda in a more effective way."
The Conference North side began talks with the X Factor contestant and I'm a Celebrity runner-up in January.
Quickenden, 26, who was a youth-team player for Scunthorpe United, has played at non-league level with Frickley Athletic and Bottesford Town.
Trinity chairman Richard Kane said a contract was possible if he impressed them at the pre-season trial.
Quickenden scored four goals last weekend when he played in a celebrity match to raise money for SwansAid, a Swansea City fund to encourage children and young people to become more active.
Mr Kane told BBC Radio Linconlshire the club is continuing to search for a striker.
"If he makes the grade we might give him a contract," he said.
"It is something we have talked about and something we have looked at.
"We watched him play in the celebrity match at Swansea where he scored four goals and if he does the same here, he might get a contract on the table."
His management did not respond to the BBC's request for a statement.
In January, Quickenden's management told the Daily Mail he had declined Trinity's offer and had been approached by other football clubs.
John Hardie shared a room with Swinno last week. I'm not sure Hards understood a lot of what was said that week. There's a guy across the road rearranging his bed in the back of a small campervan. Looks like he might be going swimming soon. Not a bad life here in Australia. When you can still go swimming in winter you know things aren't too shabby.
As rugby players, we always like to look forward, we don't tend to look backwards all that much. It's no harm to do it sometimes, though. It helps to remind you - if you need reminding - that these are pretty special moments. Sitting here as Scotland captain in Greig Laidlaw's absence is lovely and surreal at the same time.
We're playing the Wallabies on Saturday after losing to them by one point in the autumn - very hard to take - and by one point at the World Cup, which was hard enough to take as I watched it at home so I can only imagine what it was like for the boys who played in it. I didn't watch it live. I got a text from my dad while it was happening and he said, "Are you looking at this?!" but I only sat down to take it in later that night.

Missing that World Cup was the most disappointed I've ever been in rugby. I wanted to be part of it, but wasn't. It was a bit galling. I've always said that coming back into the set-up for the Six Nations in 2016 after not playing in the championship for four years was probably an even prouder moment for me than winning my first cap.
When I wasn't making the squad people used to ask me why. Somebody said, 'Why don't you announce your Scotland retirement?' and I thought that's all fine but I'm not playing so what, exactly, am I retiring from?
We had a second-row at Glasgow, Andy Newman, a Welshman, and Andy never got capped and he always said, self-mockingly, that one day he was going to announce that he was retiring from international rugby. Pete Edwards is like that at the Scarlets. Pete's a prop and a great character. He's 36, has never been capped and he says, "Boys, this is the year I'm going to do it, I'm finally going to quit Test rugby."
Hopefully that's where the similarities between Pete and myself end, but I felt saying I was retiring from Scotland would have had the same vibe. It would have been comic and a bit embarrassing. I didn't consider it, though I wondered if I'd ever be back.
The only point that I could see in saying that I was quitting was maybe to give my family some closure on it, to stop them waiting for a day that I might be selected again. I believe in a way it's always hardest on those around you who would back you no matter what.
So being here in Coogee is brilliantly bizarre.
We got here on Sunday night and went for a dip in the sea on Monday. After the humidity of Singapore it was great to get in the water and cool down. The game against Italy was draining. Successful, but difficult in a way that's hard to describe. There was almost an inability to stand up at times in that match.
I grew up in that kind of heat in Hong Kong and various other places yet I can't remember the heat as vividly as perhaps I should. I loved Singapore, a very exciting city, but I'm not sure I'd ever get used to that wall of humidity that hits you every time you walk out the door. Coogee in winter is a lot easier.
Could I live here? 100%. Places like Coogee and Manly take some beating. There's a big coffee culture, and I, like many rugby players enjoy a cup. I wouldn't mind opening a coffee shop of my own when I retire but I think the romantic idea of sipping on espresso is slightly different to the reality of it.
I went to a training day with a full-on barista guy once and he showed me how you make good coffee rather than burning it. You go to some places now and it's a waste of time drinking the stuff. I saw somebody making one for me in a shop recently and I thought, "I'm going to throw that in the bin when he's finished".
The other lads used to roll their eyes as we walked past countless coffee shops on our way to one recommended on "Beanhunter". Slowly but surely I think I am starting to turn the screw with them.
Coogee is an easy place to find your way around. That's a challenge for me at times. My sense of direction is not exactly of Vasco de Gama proportions, a fact that amuses my wife no end. If I'm faced with a left or right turn, I'm likely to pick the wrong one. I went for a nice walk in Singapore with some of the boys and managed to lose my way.
Rory Hughes was trying to navigate us home and I was getting drenched in sweat as we wandered. I can't read a map so I couldn't say too much. That's another thing Coogee has on it's side - you can't get lost. Follow the beach down the road and follow it back again. Easy.
As ever, I'm rooming with Ryan Wilson. He'd be lost without me. The captain tends to get his own room if there's an odd number of players and since Lewis Carmichael joined us there's an odd number, but I'm staying where I am. Besides, there's the entertainment he offers sometimes when he sleep-talks and walks.
He woke me up once at three in the morning emptying his bag upside down while looking for a snorkel. He found "it" and woke sucking on his inhaler like a baby. I always say I should record him.
We all face a huge job on Saturday against the Wallabies. The last five games between us have ended with a single score in it, so it should be close. They're a good side and so are we. The conditions will be easier than Singapore but the challenge will be harder.

Everything around training has been intense but there's been a lot of fun as well. Meetings have continued to start in normal fashion. That is, with a challenge. Two players' names are drawn out of a hat and they have to perform a task.
Last week, myself and Ross Ford had to do a 90-second commentary on our last Scotland try. Mine was from the Italy game in 2016. Fordy's was from 2008. Then he goes and scores two in Singapore.
At the conclusion of the challenge, both players then have to stand in front of the room and tell everybody about their background - where they're from, what family they have, that kind of thing. It's a fun way to start a meeting and a great way to get to know guys you might not know properly.
It helps strengthen the connection between the players. The best way to do that is, of course, to win Test matches, and we'll be going all out to do that in Sydney on Saturday.
John Barclay was talking to BBC Sport Scotland's chief sports writer, Tom English.
The Marine Conservation Society (MCS) downgraded the fish on its Good Fish Guide after stock numbers fell.
But The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), which certifies the sustainability of fish and seafood, contradicted the MCS advice.
It insisted consumers can enjoy haddock suppers with a "clear conscience".
Haddock from three North Sea and west of Scotland fisheries is no longer on the MCS's recommended "green" list of fish to eat.
They were downgraded because stock numbers in 2016 were below the recommended level and action was needed to increase the number of fish at breeding age.
But the MSC, an international body set up to protect fish stocks, praised Scottish fishermen and insisted North Sea haddock was being fished sustainably.
Its spokesman James Simpson said: "The Scottish haddock fishery is still MSC certified due to the strong management they have in place to deal with changing stocks.
"The Scottish haddock fishermen have already worked with the government to set lower quotas in response to the latest scientific advice. In fact they've set their catches even lower than the recommendations. It's a bold move to protect the haddock stock for the long term.
"This is a great example of a responsible reactive management responding to fluctuations in stock status and that's exactly what MSC certification is about: long-term sustainability. You can still choose MSC certified Scottish haddock for your Friday night fish and chips with a clean conscience.
"I'll be choosing MSC labelled Scottish haddock tonight for my fish and chip supper knowing that it's been caught by responsible fishermen with sustainable management that's been checked and monitored by the world's most rigorous scientific test of sustainability."
The MCS's Good Fish Guide now rates two North Sea haddock fisheries as "amber" - scoring four on a scale of one to five, where one is the most sustainable.
Haddock from the west coast fishery has dropped from being a good choice (rated two) to one to eat only occasionally (rated three).
Bernadette Clarke, manager of the MCS Good Fish Guide, said: "These ratings changes have come about because scientific perception of the stock has changed.
"Compared to 2015, the stock numbers in 2016 were below the recommended level and at the point where action is now needed to increase the number of fish of breeding age."
She told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland: "There's no suggestion that fishermen should stop fishing, taking fish from these areas, but there is a scientific recommendation to reduce the amount of catches taken from these areas in 2017."
Haddock is one of the "big five" seafood species, along with cod, tuna, salmon and prawns. But Ms Clarke suggested that consumers looking for an alternative to haddock should try coley, whiting or hake.

Bertie Armstrong, the chief executive of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation, criticised the MCS and claimed the move to downgrade the fish would lead to confusion among consumers.
He told BBC Radio Scotland that North Sea and west coast haddock is being caught sustainably and within a quota which has been reduced.
"The stock is not threatened, the stock is caught sustainability and the real perversity of this is that this advice, this lightweight, thoughtless advice from the Marine Conservation Society could lead to actually discarding at retail level," he said.
"What it's saying to the consumer is leave this lying on the fishmonger's slab, don't pick it up.
"That will cause it to go in the skip at the back of the supermarket if anybody pays attention to this, so it's irresponsible. It's genuinely irresponsible."

Australian Robertson, world champion in 2010, has revealed he would sit up all night playing games, which affected his ability to practise the next day.
"They can be the most fun thing in the world but they can really set you off on the wrong track in your career," Robertson told BBC Radio 5 live.
Robertson beat Noppon Saengkham 10-4 in the first round at the Crucible.
The 35-year-old, who has not reached a ranking final since his win at the Riga Masters in June 2016, said he was "heavily addicted" to a game called Diablo 2.
"It got to the point, back home in Australia, that my mum would have to create an account and log on to see if I was actually on it instead of playing snooker," he said.
"I've got quite an addictive personality and I've decided to just make a clean break from them. I can't play them."

Robertson, who has won 12 career ranking titles and is a former world number one, says at one stage computer games threatened to become "more important than the snooker".
"I've had really good application in my practice after dragging myself away from playing too many video games," Robertson told Eurosport.
"I'm two months sober, if you like, from playing them. And the multi-play online ones I can't touch because I just get too hooked on them."
Robertson described an incident during a tournament in China when he was left "furious for four or five days" after being unable to get an internet connection to play online.
I wouldn't say I would have won a lot more tournaments if it wasn't for video games but I would have given myself more opportunities
"All I was thinking about was getting back home for a connection," he said. "All of a sudden that became more important than the snooker, which is absolutely crazy."
"Those kind of games are designed to take over your life really. You find yourself sitting in front of the computer screen for six, seven or eight hours straight, which is obviously not healthy.
"I've been playing some video games through the night. All of a sudden, it is 6am, the birds are tweeting and I'm thinking: 'Oh my God, I've got to get up in a couple of hours to take my son Alexander to school'. Then I've got to practise.
"If you are a single guy, and work in a normal job, you can get around it. But you can't win professional snooker matches when you are tired."
Robertson also revealed that his obsession with gaming was a problem during the 2013-14 season, when he famously scored 100 centuries.
"The years I had the 100 centuries, I should probably have had around 120 because I got addicted like hell to Fifa 14," he said.
"I was obsessed with winning the title against other players. That really affected the second half of my season.
"I wouldn't say I would have won a lot more tournaments if it wasn't for video games, but I think I would have given myself more opportunities to go further in other events."

Judd Trump is facing a fine from snooker bosses after the pre-tournament favourite did not fulfil his post-match media duties following his loss to Rory McLeod.
"Judd is a great guy but it doesn't matter how much you are hurting, it's important to give feedback to the media," Robertson said.
"It's disappointing he hasn't given some feedback, whether it be on social media or whatever, but he must have been hurting like you wouldn't believe."
Robertson added that snooker players were in need of a representative association, following Ronnie O'Sullivan's recent criticism of World Snooker.
"At the end of the season, the top 32 players have to get together, get a lawyer to represent us and have certain things taken out of players' contracts," Robertson added.
"Basically we just get it in front of us, it's so many pages long, and we just sort of sign it. If we don't sign it, we don't get to play.
"Every other sport has player's representation. We don't really have that officially - I know there's like a little players' committee but there's not a players' association, which is what we really need."
McNamara's contract expired at the end of last year, following England's 2-1 series victory over New Zealand.
The 44-year-old Englishman was appointed in 2010 and combined the role with his job at Sydney Roosters, where he remains assistant coach.
It was revealed earlier this week that Australian Wayne Bennett has been offered a role with England.
The 66-year-old Brisbane Broncos boss is the most successful coach in Australian rugby league history, with seven Grand Final wins.
The BBC understands McNamara's replacement will be announced on Tuesday.
An RFL statement read: "Steve McNamara has been the longest-serving national coach in our history and it is undoubtedly the case that the national team and set-up have moved on considerably under Steve's leadership.
"We would like to place on record our thanks to Steve for his considerable efforts over the years to both the England senior team and the underlying programme. He leaves with our very best wishes and on a high, after a series win over New Zealand."
England were runners-up at the Four Nations in 2011, and McNamara also led them to the semi-finals of the Rugby League World Cup in 2013.
Saints are trying to fend off interest in Louis Picamoles from Montpellier, owned by billionaire Mohed Altrad.
Hewitt said players' salaries had shown a "real hike" in recent years.
"Rugby is dominated by some really wealthy billionaire owners in France and the UK. It's becoming a bit like soccer," he added.
"This year we've noticed a real hike in the player salary inflation that's gone into our figures and made our trading slightly more difficult - but that's the way of the world.
"We've just got to adjust to it. We're appointing a new chief executive, it's the right time for me to hand over the chairmanship to John White, who is very experienced, so I think we're well positioned moving forward."
France number eight Picamoles joined Saints from Top 14 side Toulouse last summer and has been hugely influential for a side currently seventh in the Premiership.
The 31-year-old's performances have led to him being nominated for the Rugby Players' Association player of the year award.
But reports suggest Montpellier, Picamoles' first club, are interested in giving him a central contract with the French Rugby Federation (FFR).
"We can't comment on rumours," Hewitt told BBC Radio Northampton. "What we can deal in is facts. Louis has two more years on his contract at Northampton. We love having Louis in the squad.
"He's just won the Saints Supporters' Club player of the season award and we've got an awards dinner on Monday where I'm sure he'll probably get more awards and he's been nominated for some national awards."
But the city authorities have again warned they are at "the limit" when it comes to coping with the numbers.
"We have reached the upper limit of our capacity," a police spokesman said, as frantic efforts were under way to accommodate the new arrivals.
Record numbers have also been crossing from Serbia into Hungary.
More than 4,000 people walked across the border with Serbia - the most so far in one day - just as the authorities in Hungary were completing preparations to seal the frontier.
Europe as a whole is struggling to deal with an enormous influx of people, mostly from Syria but also Afghanistan, Eritrea and other countries, fleeing violence and poverty.
Munich, in Germany's southern state of Bavaria, has been the main entry point for those entering the country in search of a better life, but the city says it is having difficulty finding accommodation for them.
As well as the 13,000 who arrived on Saturday, another 1,400 arrived in Munich on Sunday morning, police said.
"We lack 1,000 to 5,000 places," Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung (in German).
The authorities are considering using a sports venue from the 1972 Olympics, the Olympiahalle, as a temporary shelter.
Mr Reiter also repeated his call for other German regions to take in more migrants.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel has defended the decision to let in large numbers of refugees, saying she was "convinced it was right".
A steady stream of migrants is travelling from Greece, through Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary, to Austria and Germany. Many crossed the sea in little more than play boats from Turkey to several Greek islands.
Officials estimate that 175,000 people have crossed from Serbia into Hungary so far this year.
Hungary is aiming to complete a four-metre-high (13ft) fence along the border with Serbia by 15 September, when tougher measures, including arresting illegal immigrants, come into force.
The BBC's Nick Thorpe, reporting from Szeged near the Hungarian-Serbian border, says that the humanitarian infrastructure to deal with the migrants is finally being established at the much-criticised Roske migrant camp.
On Friday, footage emerged of migrants being thrown bags of food at the camp amid criticism that they were being treated like animals.
Given the huge numbers arriving in one train station at the same time, it's impressive that almost all of the migrants have so far have been provided with shelter.
But it was only possible, say the authorities, thanks to help from local people, who provided supplies and manpower.
A row is now brewing between the regional state governments, responsible for looking after migrants, and the federal government in Berlin.
The mayor of Munich says he has been left in the lurch by the rest of the country, while other regional government leaders have criticised Chancellor Angela Merkel's recent announcement, that Syrian refugees would be welcome.
The next challenge is to get people from Munich to the rest of Germany. There's a quota system for each region to take in a set number of migrants and refugees.
Deutsche Bahn, the national train network, has announced that some regular trains from Munich will be reserved for migrants and refugees and that passengers who have booked that journey will now have to change to other trains.
It's one of the first concrete signs that taking in so many people will have an impact on the lives of ordinary Germans.

The 4,000 refugees who walked into Hungary on Saturday were shepherded into a field where dozens of large tents, including those of the UN refugee agency, now stand.
Most migrants want to travel on to western Europe by passing through neighbouring Austria, but before they do so, the Hungarian authorities say that it is necessary to transport them to camps so that they can be registered.
The European Commission announced plans last week for mandatory quotas to share out 120,000 additional asylum seekers among 25 member countries.
Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania are opposed to this, with the Czech prime minister reiterating his country's position on Sunday.
"I think it is impossible to retreat... Our position is firm," Bohuslav Sobotka said in a TV interview.
Meanwhile, Greece's coastguard says at least 28 people drowned when a boat carrying migrants capsized near the island of Farmakonisi on Sunday. Another 68 were rescued.
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.
Organised by Mental Health Action York, it followed the closure of Bootham Park psychiatric hospital in September.
The Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust has run mental health services in the city since October.
It said it was "totally committed... to provide high quality mental health services".
It was "on track" to open a 24-bed adult inpatient unit in York in July and was developing plans for a new hospital, the trust added.
Inpatients currently have to travel 40 miles to the nearest mental health unit at a hospital in Middlesbrough.
Rachael Maskell, Labour MP for York Central, attended the protest and called for services to be moved "quickly back to York".
"So many people's lives have been disrupted over the closure of the hospital", she said.
Bootham Park was ordered to close by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and inpatients were either discharged or transferred to other hospitals.
The Leeds and York Partnership NHS Trust, which previously ran the service, was given five days notice to close the grade-I listed building in September.
The Council's decision - carried by a 63.5% vote of its members - followed the recommendation of the governing body's membership committee.
Fans' group City Till We Die said it was "delighted" with the decision.
Formed in 1904, they first wore black and amber shirts for their maiden Football League campaign the following year. They moved to present ground, shared with Hull FC rugby league club, in 2002, after 56 years at Boothferry Park.
Owner Assem Allam, 74, who has threatened to sell if he is not allowed to change the 110-year-old name, says he will appeal against the decision.
"If it had been the other way round, if the FA had approved it but the fans had said no, I would have severed my ties with the club immediately," Allam, who took charge of the club in in December 2010, told BBC Sport.
"But the results mean I owe it to the silent majority to appeal and to fight on.
"For now what is important is what happens on the field. We want to finish as high as we possibly can in the league, and the FA Cup gives us the possibility of getting into Europe."
However, there is no appeal process with the FA and the Council decision is final. Hull can resubmit next season if they want to.
Any appeal would likely have to proceed through the Court for Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
Allam believes the 'Tigers' name would make the club more marketable, and says he considers the word City to be "lousy" and "common".
On Monday, City season card holders had narrowly voted in favour of the name-change plan.
But responding to the FA Council decision, City Till We Die said: "We are very pleased that the FA has recognised the importance of the historic name of Hull City AFC to the fans and the wider community of Hull.
"This is truly a victory for the fans."
Supporters Direct also "welcomed" the decision, but added: "The FA must create a democratic, transparent process for consultation in matters such as these, and one that ensures that supporters have the final say on such matters through a binding vote."
Egypt-born businessman Allam announced in August that the name of the business that runs the club had been changed to Hull City Tigers.
In December, the club applied to the FA to change its playing name to Hull Tigers from next season.
Allam, who moved to Hull in 1968, is credited with rescuing the club from administration, with his son Ehab, City's vice-chairman, saying this month that his family had put £74m into the club.
Last season, Allam oversaw promotion to the top flight for only the second time in the club's history. They are currently 12th in the Premier League and will reach their first ever FA Cup final if they beat League One side Sheffield United on Sunday - their first semi-final since 1930.
The team's "Tigers" nickname is thought to have been coined by a Hull Daily Mail reporter in 1905, in reference to the club's black and amber kit.
The FA Council is made up of representatives from across football and has been given the power to regulate football issues such as disciplinary matters, referees and match and competition sanctioning.
The £13m facility, which includes an eight-lane 25m (82ft) swimming pool, opened on Aberavon seafront on Monday.
The Afan Lido was destroyed in a fire in 2009 and demolished in 2011.
Anthony Williams from Celtic Leisure, the company managing the centre, said they had been "chocka since six this morning".
The new facility, which is next to the old Afan Lido site, has a 100-station gym, a large indoor sports hall, a smaller swimming pool for learners and a cafe.
The original Afan Lido was opened by the Queen in 1965, and in its early days hosted major concerts by Pink Floyd and Spencer Davis, and in recent years Coldplay and McFly. | Much is being made at the moment of the apparent unpreparedness of both the UK's Leave campaign and of David Cameron's Remain camp for the day after an eventual Brexit vote.

The delegation led by Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, who has said he will resign as head of the coalition, was applauded as it formally assumed the seat.
Mr Khatib called it "part of the restoration of legitimacy" of which Syrians had "long been robbed".
Later, the Arab League authorised member states to give military support to Syrian rebel groups.
A resolution said the summit affirmed the "right of every state to offer all forms of self-defence, including military, to support the resistance of the Syrian people and the Free Syrian Army".
Meanwhile, Syrian state media reported that three people had been killed and several others wounded in a suicide car bombing in the northern Rukn al-Din district of Damascus.
Shells were also said to have landed in the centre of the capital.
In the city of Homs, government troops were reported to have seized back control of the hotly-contested district of Baba Amr after two weeks of fighting.
And at least 13 burned bodies were found in the village of Abel, just outside Homs, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based activist group.
In another development on Tuesday, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Swedish scientist Ake Sellstrom would head a UN mission investigating the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria.
The Syrian government and rebels accused each other of firing a rocket containing poison gas at a village near the city of Aleppo earlier this month.
The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says Syria's opposition won an important diplomatic victory when it took over the country's seat at the Arab League summit in Doha.
Mr Khatib was joined by the National Coalition's vice-presidents, George Sabra and Suheir Atassi, and its recently-elected interim prime minister, Ghassan Hitto.
The Syrian flag was replaced at the country's official seat with the green, white and black flag of the former Syrian Republic, which existed before the Baath Party and the Assad family came to power, and is used by the opposition.
The move angered the government in Damascus, which accused the Arab League of handing the seat to "bandits and thugs".
Mr Khatib gave an impassioned speech in the name of the 100,000 people he said had given their lives in the struggle so far, and the many others who have been wounded, tortured or imprisoned.
"I convey to you the greetings of the orphans, widows, the wounded, the detained and the homeless," he said.
He rejected attempts by some outside powers to control Syrian decisions, saying the country's future would be decided by the Syrian people alone.
And he also rejected all the reasons advanced by Western powers and others for the reluctance to provide the Syrian opposition with the means to defend the people because of concerns about arming foreign Islamist fighters.
"I don't know if the real issue has to do with whether he's a foreigner or he has a beard," he remarked.
Mr Khatib also said he had asked the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, to establish a defensive Patriot missile shield over northern Syria to protect people and allow refugees to return home.
He said he was awaiting a response from Nato on the issue. It was not long in coming, our correspondent adds, with officials repeating their position that the alliance had no intention of intervening militarily in Syria.
The National Council's seat at the Arab League comes at a time of disarray within its top ranks.
Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib - seen as a respected and unifying figure in Syria - announced his resignation on Sunday, a move so far rejected by the coalition.
He said he had promised to resign if certain "red lines" were reached. Although he did not specify what those red lines were, he did accuse world powers of failing to adequately protect the Syrian people.
But analysts say Mr Khatib is also concerned by the influence of Islamists and foreign powers like Qatar in the opposition coalition.
And his resignation came days after Mr Hitto, a US-based Islamist, was elected by the opposition to be prime minister of an alternative administration that could govern rebel-held areas from inside Syria.
Mr Khatib considered the move premature, and observers say he may have feared the move would further distance the exiled opposition leadership from what is going on inside Syria.
Strontian Primary in Strontian in the north west Highlands was built in the mid-1970s and takes pupils from the Ardnamurchan and Morvern peninsulas.
Councillors will be asked a meeting next week to agree that the school be accommodated in new units at the village's Ardnamurchan High School.
The proposal would cost about £1.16m, council officers have said.
The 1970s building forms part of a wider complex, that includes the village hall.
Council officers said the local authority would work with the community to explore the future use and ownership of the hall.
The letter from parents in Haltern, Germany, said Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr prioritised customers over them.
The airline said Mr Spohr had spoken with families. It has pledged to pay them up to €85,000 (£60,000; $93,000).
A Germanwings co-pilot is suspected of deliberately crashing the plane.
All 150 people aboard the Airbus 320, flying from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, were killed when the plane came down in March.
Investigators say co-pilot Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit before beginning a descent into the French Alps.
Lubitz is known to have suffered depression in the past. Lufthansa twice refused to renew his medical certificate in 2009 because of the condition, according to a preliminary report by French accident investigators.
The parents of 16 children, who were part of a school trip from Haltern that was travelling aboard the plane, said Mr Spohr had failed to apologise for the crash.
They said the airline should have said sorry for permitting Lubitz to fly despite his medical history. They also said Lufthansa had not yet apologised for failing to apply a rule - enforced by some carriers - that would have required two people to stay in the cockpit at all times.
The letter (in German) criticised Mr Spohr for not having spoken with the bereaved and for ignoring invitations to attend the funerals.
"We have not heard from you," it said. "A couple of personal words in conversation with you would have shown us that you weren't just there for the public but for us too."
The letter also said the parents were deeply offended by a compensation offer, saying the sum "deeply insults us, and above all else our children".
A Lufthansa spokesman, quoted by the Associated Press news agency, said Mr Spohr had tried his best to talk to the families and had attended several memorial services.
"Mr Spohr was in touch with many relatives and friends and family of the victims but it's obvious that he was not able to be in personal touch with each and every one of the more than 1,000 relatives that we have,'' the spokesman said.
Mr Spohr had spoken to some parents of the Haltern schoolchildren, he added.
The airline is currently negotiating a payout to the relatives of those killed in the crash. Reports say the airline has offered €25,000 to the families, with an additional €10,000 for immediate kin of the dead.
The €25,000 offer will be given on top of €50,000 already paid as immediate financial assistance, according to Reuters.
Lufthansa said in April that it had set aside $300m to cover costs arising from the crash, including compensation for the families.

Last week Wangzhou Fortune said Yang Weiguo had gone missing and taken 1 billion yuan ($153m; £106m).
But Mr Yang sent a video and a letter to journalists on Monday saying he had gone for a short personal trip, and rejected the accusations.
Authorities are investigating the case after Wangzhou made a police report.
The firm had released a statement (in Chinese) last Thursday saying that after several days of investigations it could confirm that Mr Yang "has gone missing, and believed to have taken 1 billion yuan".
It made a public apology, adding that the incident had "happened suddenly and unexpectedly" and that the firm had lodged a report with police in Shanghai.
Wangzhou Fortune had reportedly experienced cashflow problems in recent days. Beijing Youth Daily said the company had about 20,000 investors who put in 2.2 billion yuan.
The news made waves in local media, which ran pieces quoting investors calling for Mr Yang's return.
On Monday Mr Yang contacted journalists at several financial news outlets. In a short video clip he reportedly says: "Hi everyone, it's me, don't worry I'm coming back soon."
He also sent a strongly-worded letter (in Chinese) stating that on 15 April he decided to take a short 10-day holiday and drove to the far western province of Xinjiang.
He said he needed the holiday "so that I could completely relax and clearly think about how to solve several large problems in the current stage of my company's management".
Mr Yang acknowledged he failed to tell anyone about his travel plans, but added that he notified two employees telling them to manage themselves for the next few days.
He said he only learnt of the company's allegations on Sunday as he prepared to return home, and said he was "stunned and furious".
"The company which I painstakingly managed has in the last few days become unrecognisable, slandering me as 'taking 1 billion and fleeing'! All the investments have accounts that can be checked, what is this based on?!" he wrote.
He added he was rushing to the nearest police post in Urumqi to co-operate with investigations.
Wangzhou Fortune has yet to respond to his statement.
Mr Yang is also the chairman of the company's parent firm Wangzhou Group, which states on its website that it has 200 subsidiaries in commerce, vehicles, health, food and beverage, and technology.
The 50-year-old, who needed dialysis after damaging her kidneys with a drug overdose, died late last year.
The Court of Protection ruled that she had the capacity to refuse treatment and must not be named - and that anonymity has now been extended.
Mr Justice Charles said press coverage would cause distress to the family.
The woman had a number of daughters and a grandchild, and lawyers for one of the daughters said the dead woman should remain anonymous to protect her relatives' rights to a private and family life.
A number of media organisations opposed the application for reporting restrictions.
But Mr Justice Charles said the woman's family were "understandably distressed" by "intensive and intrusive media attention", and granted anonymity "until further order of the court and on the basis that it will cover the reporting of [the woman's] inquest".
"The history of the prurient nature of some of the earlier reporting is a clear indicator that such reporting might be repeated," he said in his ruling.
The Court of Protection rules on cases where there is doubt over whether someone has the mental capacity to make important decisions for themselves.
In an earlier hearing, the court was told the woman's life had "always revolved around her looks, men and material possessions".
In a statement, one of her daughters said: "'Recovery' to her does not just relate to her kidney function, but to regaining her 'sparkle' [her expensive, material and looks-oriented social life], which she believes she is too old to regain."
The complainant said he had sex with Julie Wadsworth up to 15 times, including once when her husband Tony joined in.
Now in his 30s, he told police he felt compelled to report what happened after having child protection training.
The couple deny assaulting seven boys in the 1990s.
In video interviews shown to the jury, the alleged victim said he first met Mrs Wadsworth when he was 14 and she was sunbathing in a park in 1995.
He went on to have sexual activity with Mrs Wadsworth at her then home in Long Street, Atherstone, the court heard.
"The first time we had sex in her living room and basically from then until I was 18 I would say there are 10, 12 or 15 occasions I have seen her in the park and arranged to meet," he said.
The man told the interviewing officer he only discovered the couple's names while channel-hopping on the radio.
The man said: "It was probably after about a year or two.
"While it was going on I was listening to the radio one night and I recognised their voices...co-presenting an evening programme.
"You could play me a recording of 10 BBC presenters and I would be able to tell you straight away which one was them."
The Wadsworths, from Broughton Astley, Leicestershire, who have worked for BBC Radio Leicester and BBC WM, deny five counts of outraging public decency between July 1992 and June 1996.
Mrs Wadsworth, 60, has pleaded not guilty to 12 charges of indecent assault, while her 69-year-old husband denies 10 counts of the same offence.
The man told officers: "I took part in (child protection) training and it brought up incidents that happened to me over four years from when I was 14 to when I was 18, when I engaged in sexual intercourse with a couple that I had met in the woods in Atherstone.
"I had never told a soul. I was sitting there having a conversation with myself, is this the day that I tell someone?"
The party's leader at Westminster, Angus Robertson, told the Commons it was believed the material would then be flown to the US.
He raised the issue with Chancellor George Osborne, who was standing in for David Cameron at Prime Minister's Questions.
Mr Osborne said established procedures were in place for moving nuclear materials.
Mr Robertson said: "There are growing reports in the north of Scotland about plans to transport dangerous nuclear material, including potentially nuclear weapons grade nuclear uranium, from the Dounreay nuclear facility on public roads to Wick Airport. It is believed it will then be flown to the United States."
Mr Robertson asked Mr Osborne what the material would be used for, and questioned whether the Chancellor or any of his colleagues had discussed it with any Scottish government minister.
Mr Osborne responded: "The transportation of nuclear materials has happened across this country over many decades. There are established procedures for doing so. The Royal Marines and the police service in Scotland provide the security as they do that."
He said that if Mr Robertson had any specific concerns about the transportation plans he could raise them with the government, but insisted that "the arrangements are in place to make sure we protect the public".
Speaking after the exchange, Mr Robertson said he had written to the prime minister over the issue as Mr Osborne had been "unable to provide detailed answers".
He said the public had "a right to expect the highest safety standards and full coordination and cooperation between responsible public agencies".
The Dounreay facility, which sits about 30 miles to the north west of Wick, is currently being decommissioned.
Ryan Lamb, 20 and of St Helens, had been left in a critical condition in the attack on Canal Street at about 17:25 BST on Sunday.
He was taken to hospital but died in the early hours of Wednesday. Two other men also found injured, aged 18 and 21, remain in a stable condition.
An 18-year-old man from Kensington, arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, has been bailed.
A 17-year-old boy from Rainhill, also held on suspicion of attempted murder, has been released on bail.
A 21-year-old man, from Huyton, remains in custody on suspicion of assault.
John Fahy, 25, of Groagagh, Grange in County Sligo, was acquitted of two charges of causing death and grievous bodily injury by careless driving.
Nineteen-month-old Ryan Cox died in the crash on Boa Island Road near Belleek in January 2013.
The jury reached a unanimous verdict at Dungannon Crown Court in acquitting the architecture student of the charges.
Ryan's parents cried as the verdict was delivered on Wednesday.
Mr Fahy had been in his final year at Ulster University at the time of the crash, and he now hopes to return to complete his studies.
Both Mr Fahy and Ryan's mother, Katriona Cox, were also badly injured in the crash.
During the trial, prosecutors argued that "either through inexperience or over steering", Mr Fahy had lost control of his car.
Mr Fahy told the court he remembered as he drove around the bend before the crash, he noticed a car "apparently in my lane and I remember flashing my lights".
After Wednesday's verdict, neither Ryan's parents nor Mr Fahy wanted to comment on the case.
Caroline Starmer, 28, appeared at Leicester Crown Court, where she pleaded guilty to a charge of intent to pervert the course of justice.
Starmer, of Marshall Street, Leicester, had claimed her nine-month-old daughter was grabbed from her breast.
She was warned she could be jailed when sentenced in December.
In a Facebook post, she claimed the guard took hold of her daughter and marched off towards the exit of the Humberstone Gate store in Leicester on 13 July.
The story was widely reported in the media and in interviews she claimed a male security guard grabbed the child from her breast.
In the post, she said she picked a quiet spot in Primark to feed her daughter but was then challenged by a security guard who asked her to leave.
"I stood my ground and stated my rights, that I can legally feed where I want," she wrote.
"Just for the security officer to physically remove my daughter from my breast and walk down the store with her, saying if I wanted my daughter, then I was to come and get her."
Leicestershire Police investigated her claims but she was charged with intent to pervert the course of justice.
Primark initially said it would investigate the allegation but after viewing in-store CCTV footage denied the incident had taken place.
In a statement after Starmer's appearance at court, the firm said: "The company wishes to thank its staff for their patience and understanding through this process."
It added that breastfeeding mothers were always welcome in Primark.
The hosts of the Facebook page on which Starmer made her original claim, Free to Feed, apologised to Primark and said there were "no winners here".
"What possesses people to fabricate lies on this level and drag everyone else down with them, will always be a mystery to us," the group said.
"Our good nature and intent was completely abused by someone that we believed in good faith, and wanted to help."
The case was adjourned until 3 December for reports to be prepared.
The Eastfield Pictogram at Alton Barnes near Devizes was first spotted in July 1990 and led to a new era of interest in studies of the formations.
The south west of England, especially Wiltshire, remains the "unquestioned homeland" of the patterns, which appear every summer in farmers' fields
At least 15 formations have been spotted so far this year in the county.
Although most crop circles are acknowledged to be manmade, there is still a feeling among believers that they are caused by something unexplained.
Monique Klinkenbergh from the Crop Circle Access Centre said the subject deserves recognition and serious scientific research.
"Not all circles are man-made," she said.
"After seven years of studying the subject, and having experienced unexplainable things myself, I know there is more going on than just people with planks and ropes."
Ms Klinkenbergh said the free exhibition would present "unknown facts" about the "authentic, mysterious and misunderstood phenomenon".
"Another major aim is to bring the concerns of the farming community to the attention of the general public and an attempt to find a workable solution to help those farmers who are willing to allow access to visitors who often travelled long distances to Wiltshire to experience the phenomenon," she said.
The free exhibition, at St. Peter's Church in Marlborough, will run until 28 August.
The Welsh Government wants to build a £1.1bn six-lane motorway south of Newport to relieve congestion around the Brynglas tunnels.
The inquiry will examine the controversial plan and alternatives.
A pre-inquiry meeting will take place on Monday at Newport's Lysaght Institute.
It starts at 13:00 BST, is open to all and will allow interested parties to understand the process and prepare for the inquiry itself.
It will not examine evidence. The full inquiry will take place at the same venue.
Opponents of the M4 relief road include environmentalists, opposition politicians in the assembly and Labour backbench AMs, with concerns ranging from cost to the impact on the environment.
Mr Skates said: "It's been clear for some time that for businesses, commuters and visitors alike, the current stretch of M4 around Newport is unable to cope with the needs of modern Wales."
He said the inquiry will provide "open and transparent scrutiny of our proposed solution, and suggested alternatives, before providing vital feedback to inform a final decision on whether we proceed to construction".
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell made the commitment to the BBC a day after Npower said it was raising electricity prices by 15% from March.
Meanwhile, Mr McDonnell used a speech earlier to vow to "close the gap" between spending in the north and south of England.
But the Conservatives said Labour's plans would "crash the economy".
Npower said on Friday that its price rises would take effect on 16 March, with gas increasing by 4.8%.
The company said the changes would only affect about half of its customers, but energy regulator Ofgem said it must "justify" why it was introducing one of the largest price rises in years.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Mr McDonnell said people would be paying for the increase having had their wages "frozen" since the recession.
Asked what Labour would do, he said it would introduce legislation that would limit the amount prices could increase by.
"This is huge. We can't allow this to keep going on," he said.
Speaking later at Labour's economic conference in Liverpool, Mr McDonnell said the North had consistently lost out in terms of spending - and promised a future Labour government would try to rectify that.
He cited figures from the National Infrastructure Commission suggesting projected capital spending per head of population in the north of England would increase by just £1,491 by 2020-2021, compared with by £3,114 per head in London.
"We have to put an end to the Whitehall view that what's good for the City of London is good for the country as a whole," he said.
"It is time for the rest of the country to get a look-in."
Pledging to create a "Crossrail for the North", Mr McDonnell said the high-speed line would reduce journey times between Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds and create 850,000 additional jobs by 2050.
The proposed HS3 line was approved in the government's March 2016 Budget but Labour says the government has still not brought forward a definite plan for the scheme.
Mr McDonnell also said a Labour government would pass laws requiring ministers to audit capital spending in the English regions against their relative economic need and to report any disparities to Parliament.
The government has earmarked £13bn on transport in the North and £19bn in total capital spending for the region.
It has created Transport for the North - a new body to co-ordinate transport investment in the region, modelled on Transport for London - and has accepted all its recommendations to improve connectivity.
Its plans include an accelerated upgrade of the M62, major improvements to junctions on the M1 and M56, investments in leading stations and £1.2bn to increase capacity on the Northern and TransPennine rail routes.
A Conservative spokesman said Labour's borrowing plans "would crash our economy and threaten jobs and infrastructure".
The banking sector share index fell 25%, after falling by about 30% on both Monday and Tuesday.
Individual shares are not allowed to drop by more than 30% in one day on the Athens market.
Overall, the Athens stock market fell 2.53%. The market reopened on Monday following a five-week closure.
Trading was halted after 26 June, just before capital controls were imposed in an effort to stop money leaving the country during the height of the Greek debt crisis. Greeks are still limited to withdrawing €420 a week in cash.
"The market is looking for the bottom, we are not far away from it," Alexander Moraitakis, head of Athens-based Nuntius Securities, told Reuters.
"But bank shares are still pounded by selling pressure due to dilution fears, given their need to recapitalise."
Greek banks have been hit by a flight of deposits as customers send their money abroad or hoard it as cash. The banks accounted for about a fifth of the Athens index.
Rules agreed by the government and the European Central Bank say local investors are not allowed to buy shares with money from their bank accounts, only with cash kept in safe deposit boxes or at home.
The main share index is down more than 50% from last year's peak.
After some frustrating postponements over the past week and a half - including a last-second abort on Sunday - the company's Falcon rocket left its Florida pad right on cue on Friday.
The Falcon has placed a telecoms satellite in orbit for the Luxembourg operator SES.
This platform will relay video and other services across the Asia-Pacific region.
As has become customary on recent SpaceX missions, an attempt was made to fly the lower stage of the Falcon rocket back to Earth after it had sent the satellite on its way.
A drone ship was placed more than 600km offshore in the Atlantic Ocean to receive the returning booster - but the procedure was unsuccessful.
The company had, though, gone into the exercise with low expectations, stating before the launch that the chances of sticking the landing were slim given the particular flight profile used during the ascent.
"Rocket landed hard on the droneship. Didn't expect this one to work (v hot reentry), but next flight has a good chance," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk later tweeted.
SES will be delighted to have its satellite in orbit. The new platform should have gone up months ago but has had to wait for SpaceX to work its way back to normal operations following a launch failure last June.
"SES-9 is an important building block in our strategy to grow in dynamic regions and four prime sectors - video, enterprise, mobility and government," said Martin Halliwell, chief technology officer of SES. "Co-located with SES-7, the new satellite will reach 22 million TV homes and is designed to deliver high-performing connectivity to homes, enterprises and institutions across Asia."
SES has been among the young rocket company's most bullish supporters, and Mr Halliwell has told SpaceX that the operator is keen to fly a future satellite on a recovered and refurbished booster.
The year ahead is a busy one for SpaceX. The hiatus in activity following the June failure means missions are backing up.
Highlights in the coming months should include the roll-out of the next-generation Iridium sat-phone constellation, which Falcons will loft in batches of 10 spacecraft at a time.
We should also see the beefed-up Falcon-Heavy rocket make its debut at some point. This vehicle straps three first-stage boosters together to gain significant extra performance.
And throughout 2016, SpaceX will be working on its Dragon astronaut capsule. This will be flown initially in an unmanned configuration, with astronauts set to take their first ride to the International Space Station next year.
Aaron McMahon was beaten in the Clandeboye Road area of the town in November.
The men, aged 28 and 26, face a number of charges, including attempted grievous bodily harm with intent. One of them is accused of possessing an offensive weapon.
The men are due to appear at Newtownards Magistrates Court in March.
The Russian firm Kaspersky Lab said the hacking at three European hotels was so sophisticated, it must have been created by a government.
World powers and Iran have been holding talks on the fate of Iran's nuclear programme ahead of a 30 June deadline.
Switzerland and Austria have both opened investigations into the hacks.
The US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China are seeking a final agreement to curtail Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.
They fear Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb - something Iran strongly denies.
Israel is not a party to the negotiations although it feels particularly threatened by the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran.
In March, the Wall Street Journal reported concerns by US officials that Israel had been spying on the behind-closed-doors talks.
At the time, Israel denied the claims it had been spying.
Kaspersky, and an American security firm, Symantec, believe the so-called Duqu 2.0 software was employed to gather information.
The virus infects computers across a network and is difficult to detect.
Kaspersky said on Wednesday that its own systems had recently been compromised by hackers but the intrusion had been detected at an early stage.
Security experts had previously suggested Duqu may have been created by Israel.
"The international reports of Israeli involvement in the matter are baseless," said Tzipi Hotovely, Israel's deputy foreign minister.
"What is much more important is that we prevent a bad agreement where at the end of the day we find ourselves with an Iranian nuclear umbrella."
Karl-Heinz Grundboeck, a spokesman for Austria's interior ministry, told AFP investigations in Vienna were focused on the Palais Coburg hotel, where talks took place in July last year.
Switzerland's attorney general has also opened an investigation, although it is not known which Swiss hotels are affected.
Police have seized computers in Switzerland.
As well as Vienna, negotiations have been held in the Swiss cities of Geneva, Lausanne and Montreux, and in Germany.
Daniel Young, 30, was killed in Kendor Gardens at about 08:00 GMT as he was making his way to a new job.
Police said a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday. He remains in custody at a south London police station.
Two other men who were held over the attack have been bailed.
Mr Young, originally from Paignton in Devon, was on the way to his second day working at Coventry University's London Campus International when he was attacked.
Police have called the killing a "senseless murder of a brilliant young man" without "a clear motive or reason".
Detectives said they are still investigating a second stabbing near Kendor Gardens on the same day when a 23-year-old man was stabbed in the buttocks.
However, a Scotland Yard spokesperson said the two attacks had "not been linked forensically or evidentially" yet.
Police have released CCTV footage showing Mr Young's last steps as he made his way to work.
They have appealed to anybody who was in in the vicinity at the time to contact them.
Pope Francis' trip this weekend to the Greek island of Lesbos, which hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants have used as a stepping stone in their trip to northern Europe, clearly emerges from the Pope's own personal desire.
Migrants and refugees have always occupied a central part of his discourse - and so has his criticism of the way developed countries have dealt with this crisis.
"All too often," he said recently of migrants, "[they] meet along the way with death or, in any event, rejection by those who could offer them welcome and assistance."
In two speeches - at the Moira refugee centre and at the Mytilene port - Pope Francis is set to urge leaders and societies to show more compassion for those fleeing war and poverty.
But more than anything, the short visit is seen as hugely symbolic - and if you look at Pope Francis' travel record, it seems that for him, making an appearance is enough of a message.
In July 2013, his first trip outside Rome after being elected pontiff was to Lampedusa, the tiny Italian island off the coast of Libya that - like Lesbos - was becoming a symbol of the incipient migrant crisis.
The visit occurred months before the attention of the world turned to the deadly crossing between Libya and Italy.
Ever since then, it became clear that travelling to the front line of a conflict would become a recurring feature of Pope Francis' travel agenda.
And it has also become obvious that the Vatican is increasingly aware of the symbolic power that the Pope has - and the global media attention that comes with a visit by one of the world's most popular leaders.
So the Pope is also using his seemingly unrivalled media power to shed light on certain conflicts around the world - even if this means pushing the boundaries on the definition of papal travel.
Take his trip last November to the Central African Republic (CAR), one of the poorest countries in the world, ravaged by more than three years of armed conflict between Christians and Muslims.
For months after the Vatican first announced the trip, observers insisted that it posed too high a security risk for the Pope himself and the crowds that were expected to greet him in Bangui.
After all, never before had a pope visited an active war zone.
Pope Francis, oblivious to calls to reconsider, went ahead with the trip - visiting a mosque and camp for displaced people, holding a mass at the cathedral and calling on factions to lay down their weapons.
After the papal plane left the conflict has continued, but the visit did bring an enormous amount of media coverage to a conflict that ranks amongst the most under-reported war of our times.
It was the "Francis effect", in full form.
In 2014, moved by news of the savage murder by the mafia of a three-year-old child in the southern Italian region of Calabria, he travelled to the remote village of Cassano allo Ionio.
At the stronghold of the local crime syndicate known as 'Ndrangheta, the Pope issued a strong message to mobsters: you are all excommunicated. And his words reverberated across the Italian peninsula, where the mafia continues to expand its tentacles.
Full of standout moments too was his presence at the fence between Mexico and the United States earlier this year, or his visit to Cuba in September last year, where he supported the historic thawing of the island's relationship with the United States.
But is there anything more than pure symbolism in the Pope's travels?
Sometimes his attempts to mediate in international conflicts are seen as naive, if not somewhat clumsy.
During his trip to the Holy Land in May 2014, at the end of a mass at Bethlehem's Manger Square, he broke the news that he was inviting the then Israeli President Shimon Peres and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to a "day of prayer" at the Vatican.
A few weeks later, the event did take place and under the eye of the world's media the three leaders - joined by the Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew - shared a slightly awkward photo opportunity, during which they planted an olive tree in the Vatican Gardens.
It is difficult to establish what concrete, on-the-ground effect - if any - such a gesture had on the decades-long conflict in the Middle East.
But, ignoring the sceptics, this Pope seems keen to continue his policy of getting involved in continuing crises - visiting hotspots in what he calls the "peripheries" of the world and issuing strong calls for more mercy for the downtrodden.
This weekend's trip to Lesbos is clearly emblematic of this approach.

The current Bishop of Hull, 65, would be hopefully installed by the end of the year, The Diocese of Hereford said.
Bishop Frith, who has four children and four step-children, has worked in a mix of urban and rural areas in his 40 years of ministry, it added.
His predecessor in Hereford, the Right Reverend Anthony Priddis, retired from the role in September.
Bishop Frith said he was "thrilled" to have been chosen.
He said: "The Diocese has a wonderful Christian heritage and I greatly look forward to playing my part in building up the church and serving the wider community."
The grandfather-of-seven has been the Bishop of Hull for 16 years.
The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu said he had brought "his passion and joyful enthusiasm to his mission for the Diocese of York".
From 1991 to 1998, Bishop Frith was Prebendary at Wells Cathedral, including being Archdeacon of Taunton for six of those years.
He was Team Rector at the Keynsham, Bath and Wells diocese from 1983 to 1992.
His new diocese covers Herefordshire, south Shropshire and parts of Worcestershire and Wales.
The wildlife charity believes they were killed illegally around grouse moors, and their satellite tracking tags destroyed.
But a major landowner body said there was no evidence to support the claims.
The Scottish Moorland Group also accused the RSPB of trying to whip up anti-shooting feelings on the eve of grouse season.
RSPB Scotland said the eagles vanished in the Monadhliath mountains, south east of Inverness, and the Scottish government has ordered a review of the tracking data to determine whether there is "a pattern of suspicious activity".
The charity said the latest to disappear was a two-year-old female bird nicknamed Brodie, whose last recorded position was given as the northern Monadhliath mountains on 2 July.
RSPB Scotland head of investigations Ian Thomson said most of the tagged birds of prey disappeared in areas "intensively managed" for shooting game birds, such as grouse.
He said the "positive efforts" of landowners and estate owners who support golden eagle conservation were being harmed by "those who have a complete disregard for the law".
Mr Thomson added: "Given the reliability of the transmitters, the chance of so many birds disappearing over such a short timescale without some kind of human interference is so small as to be negligible.
"The pattern we see here is consistent with the birds having been killed and the transmitters destroyed."
RSPB Scotland said the first of the eight eagles vanished after last being recorded in the hills above Strathdearn in November 2011, with further disappearances in 2012, 2014 and this year.
It said searches were made of the locations where the eight eagles' transmitters sent their final signals, but nothing was found.
However the Scottish Moorland Group, which represents landowners and gamekeepers, said there was no clear evidence of the golden eagles having even died in the Monadhliath area.
Tim Baynes, director of the organisation, added: "There are other explanations for satellite tags stopping working, and the failure of RSPB to involve land managers in trying to establish the facts is disappointing."
He said there was a clear process for investigating the disappearance of satellite-tagged birds, which involved the police.
Mr Baynes added: "Where there is not a police investigation, as in these cases, contact should be made with local land managers who are often in the best position to help with information.
"Regrettably, RSPB has not done this and it is not the first time. RSPB would appear to be more interested in generating anti-shooting publicity on the eve of the grouse shooting season."
Environment Secretary Roseanna Cunningham said reports of satellite-tagged golden eagles disappearing on or near grouse moors were "very disturbing and disappointing".
"That is why I have instructed officials to analyse the evidence from around 90 surviving and missing satellite-tagged eagles, to discover if there is a pattern of suspicious activity," she added.
Ms Cunningham reiterated that the government was prepared to bring forward more legislation to regulate shooting businesses, if necessary.
The majority of the Bears' first-team squad have been back doing fitness training since mid-November.
"It's eyeballs out at the minute," Brown told BBC Sport. "It's going to be very tough physically.
"It's as hard as they will have been worked in my time here."
He added: "The main focus is on fitness and it has to be. We need to work really hard at the right sort of things. I'm not saying we weren't doing that. But we had some seriously solid foundations to revisit. If you do the simple things and you do them well, that takes you quite a way down the road."
The Bears have even been allowed to use neighbours West Bromwich Albion's Great Barr training ground, to work on their all-weather surface.
After winning the T20 Blast in 2014, as well as finishing runners-up in both the County Championship and One-Day Cup, the Bears regressed in 2015, largely down to a poor final month or so of the season.
They failed to win any of their final five County Championship matches to fall to fifth, 100 points adrift of champions Yorkshire, who they had finished just 17 points behind in 2014.
Brown's men also just failed to make it out of their One-Day Cup group before losing to Northants in the T20 semi on home soil at Edgbaston.
"The biggest disappointment was that we didn't compete the way we should have done," added Brown. "But there's nothing wrong in getting it wrong as long as you learn from it and get it right in future. We still have an exceptional squad but by no means an old squad. We have an exciting mix of young players who need the direction of the senior players."
Warwickshire, who look likely to see more of both Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott, will step up their pre-season preparations after Christmas. Having been to Barbados for the last few years, they are expected to undergo more warm weather training ahead of the domestic first-class season.
They are due to start with a home game against the Leeds/Bradford MCCU students at Edgbaston on 31 March, prior to the Championship campaign beginning against Hampshire at Southampton on 10 April.
England skipper Rooney is set to lead his side out against Scotland in Tuesday night's friendly.
"From speaking to Wayne and a few of the lads, they're really looking forward to it," said Hibs boss Stubbs.
"Wayne has been to Celtic Park as a fan and was blown away by the atmosphere, so he'll be wanting to play tomorrow."
Rooney also came on as a substitute when Manchester United drew 1-1 with Celtic in Glasgow in the Champions League in 2008.
He could be a pivotal figure in Tuesday's match, and former Celtic defender Stubbs is a huge fan of the England captain, having played at Everton when Rooney burst on to the scene in 2002.
"He's a winner, he wants to win every game and in every training session he wants to be the best he can be. It's no surprise that he's as good as he is," Stubbs told BBC Scotland.
"His ability alone is fantastic but his appetite and desire to be the best he can be is the reason why he's so good."
Stubbs worked as a youth coach with Everton before taking charge of Hibs in June, and at Goodison Park he saw midfielder Ross Barkley at close quarters.
Barkley, who has been tipped to start for England at Celtic Park, has been compared to Rooney but Stubbs reckons the Manchester United forward has the edge in terms of ability.
"I don't think he's a bigger talent, but he's got a lot of similarities to Wayne," Stubbs added.

"He'll be the first out on the training pitch and he wants to work as hard as he can every day.
"Ross had a couple of injuries early on and he did question whether he was actually going to become a footballer. But he came through it and showed great mental toughness. He has exceptional ability and could be very, very good."
England go into Tuesday's match fresh from a 3-1 win over Slovenia in Euro 2016 qualifying, while Scotland beat the Republic of Ireland 1-0 on Friday to boost their hopes of reaching France 2016.
And Englishman Stubbs said: "I've been thoroughly impressed with how Scotland have been performing under Gordon [Strachan]. I was there on Friday and thought Scotland were the better team.
"I wouldn't be surprised at all if Scotland win the game."
But South African Ryan McLaren then limited the damage by the end of the day as he hit an unbeaten 84 to help Hampshire recover from 87-7 to 189-8.
Bad light interrupted an impressive fightback, forcing an early close.
But left-armer Barker's 5-44 - this season's first five-wicket haul - has given the Bears the upper hand.
After new Warwickshire county captain Ian Bell elect to bowl without a toss under the new regulations on a green-tinged pitch, they were rewarded when Barker struck with his 13th delivery, to find Michael Carberry's edge.
He also removed Carberry's young opening partner Tom Alsop five balls later, also caught behind before claiming a third victim of a ferocious opening spell from the Hotel End when Will Smith gave a catch to short leg, then bagging both Liam Dawson and Sean Ervine lbw.
But McLaren scored his fifth Championship half century - his second in succession after ending last season with 52 against Nottinghamshire.
Reece Topley's 15, in a 51-run stand with McLaren, beat his previous best first-class score of 12 before being comprehensively bowled by England rival Chris Woakes. And McLaren has put on a further 51 runs in a so far unbroken stand with James Tomlinson, who is still there on 15.
The only other Hampshire player to reach double figures were James Vince, who made 25 before mistiming a leading edge off England and Ireland international Boyd Rankin, and Dawson (20).
Hampshire director of cricket Giles White told BBC Radio Solent:
"It was a difficult start. If you lose six wickets in the first session it is far from ideal but credit to Warwickshire. They bowled well. They put us under pressure.
"The new ball moved around. For Barker to get five wickets before lunch is an excellent achievement. He swung the ball consistently and put it in good areas.
"But we fought back well. Ryan McLaren was fantastic under the circumstances and he was well supported by the lower order as well."
Warwickshire fast bowler Keith Barker told BBC Sport:
"It was a brilliant start for me. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The lads have bowled really well and stayed in there.
"We have scrapped quite a bit and they made it quite difficult for us towards the end of the day. But we'd have taken that score before the start.
"A couple of lads saw the wicket yesterday and thought it would be a bowling day. But it took until we saw the wicket ourselves until we decided what to do."
Santa Montefiore said she hoped her sister knew "how much we miss you" and that she was "aware of all the lovely things people have written about you".
Ms Palmer-Tomkinson was laid to rest at a private funeral having died from a perforated ulcer at the age of 45.
Ms Montefiore later shared the eulogy, which was addressed directly to her sister, on social media.
In it the author said they had been "a family of five, but now we are four and that just isn't right.
"I hope you're aware of all the lovely things people have written about you, and that you are touched, because you never believed you lit up a room or made people feel special, but you did. You really did."
She also said she hoped her sister was "resting, because you found life hard and now it is done."
She added that she hoped "you can make rabbit ears and witty rhymes up there, because your loopy humour was your gift to us and now it is your gift to them.
"How they will laugh. I envy them that," she said.
Ms Palmer-Tomkinson rose to fame in the 1990s as a hard-partying "It girl". She received treatment in 2016 for a non-malignant brain tumour.
She was found dead at her flat in South Kensington on 8 February.

McKenzie grabbed his fifth goal of the season in the 12th minute as he fired home from 35 yards after a poor clearance from goalkeeper Zander Clark.
Sean Longstaff almost doubled Killie's lead on the half hour mark, but his shot was well saved by Clark.
Conor Sammon doubled Killie's lead midway through the second half as he headed home Greg Taylor's cross.
Despite their third win in a row at McDiarmid Park, Kilmarnock remain in eighth place in the Premiership as Dundee and Partick Thistle also won.
With Hearts losing at Firhill, St Johnstone missed an opportunity to move into fourth place.
Kilmarnock fully deserved the win in a game in which they always looked the more threatening team.
The side under caretaker Lee McCulloch dominated the first half and created the better of the chances throughout.
Quick thinking and superb execution from McKenzie fired the visitors in front, with the midfielder's spectacular looping shot sailing over Clark.
Killie had gone close just eight minutes earlier when Kris Boyd's free kick from 25 yards was palmed away by the Saints goalkeeper.
David Wotherspoon tested Killie goalkeeper Freddie Woodman with a free kick, but it was easily held.
Conor Sammon then clipped a neat shot goalward from the edge of the area, but Clark stretched full length to beat it away.
Longstaff forced a save from the goalkeeper as the pressure on the home team intensified, but Saints rallied and MacLean's looping header landed on the roof of the net.
St Johnstone had plenty of possession in the second half, but they lacked punch and struggled to test the visitors' goalkeeper.
Sammon added a second for Killie in the 71st minute after finding space at the far post to nod in Greg Taylor's delivery.
Saints continued to work hard but struggled to find a way past the visitors' defence and Killie always looked like they carried the threat of adding to their lead.
They settled for what they had though and that gave them a comfortable and precious away win in Perth.
Tommy Wright St Johnstone Manager
"The first 45 without doubt is the worst I've seen since I've been at the club its was brutal, we didn't do any of the basics well, kept giving the ball away and couldn't get out of our own half, the pitch was bumpy so why did we continue to pass it around our own half and give them opportunities?
We got a reaction in the second half, we were much better, without working the keeper we had opportunities, but we should stop the cross, defend the cross and the keeper should save the header.
We gifted them a goal, Kilmarnock were better but if you look at it we could have got away with a 0-0 if we had defended better, That was poor and we got what we deserved."
Lee McCulloch Kilmarnock Manager
"I'm delighted with the result, delighted with the performance, I thought we stopped St Johnstone playing in the middle of the pitch.
They didn't have any clear cut chances, they are a top team and have a top manager but we're delighted to come here today, score two great goals and have a couple more chances as well.
I thought we looked organised I thought our desire and energy all over the pitch was brilliant today."

Alex McDougall, 77, originally from Scotland, died earlier this month at a care home in Nottinghamshire.
Carers invited anyone with connections to the Army or Mr McDougall's football team Glasgow Rangers to attend.
Broxtowe Borough Council said it had been "overwhelmed" by the public support but warned space was limited.
Staff from the Beeston Fields Care Home appealed for mourners on social media over fears the funeral, which took place at Bramcote Crematorium, would only be attended by a limited number of staff.
Deborah King, from the home, said: "It's so nice that people that have been in the military, veterans and those serving, are taking an interest and showing there are kind people out there.
"He would probably be quite overwhelmed by it all."
Andy Harrison, who is with the Royal Engineers, said it was important to honour a former soldier.
He said: "There's countless others from the station [Chetwynd Barracks} who will be going down... we can't allow his passing to go unmarked."
Sarah Teale, reporter, BBC East Midlands Today
It was quite a moving sight.
There was standard bearers from the Royal British Legion, many people in uniform and the Royal Artillery Corps, some from the Chetwynd Barracks and just members of the public.
They didn't want a funeral where he would be all alone.
They brought flowers, they brought wreaths and more importantly brought the numbers.
The borough council said it was "overwhelmed by the public show of respect" but warned that parking space was limited and the small chapel could accommodate just 46 people.
Mr McDougall moved to the county's Chetwynd Barracks, in Nottinghamshire, from Scotland when he joined the Army at the age of 21.
He spent 18 years at the home and died from cancer.
The social network is struggling on several fronts. In New York, Wall Street investors and analysts are perpetually unimpressed.
And online, social media users are becoming increasingly uninterested as Twitter is dwarfed by Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp and others.
Is there any hope of reversing the decline? Surely, for a platform that boasts world leaders, sports superstars and even Jesus himself (unverified) among its members, there must be some way to find a bright future for Twitter and its bank balance?
Here's what it needs to do to please both investors and users.
Michelle Fleury, BBC Business Reporter, New York
To quote the film Jerry Maguire, "show me the money". Or at least the new users.
That's what Wall Street wants to see.
Twitter shares tanked - falling as much as 10% in after hours trading. Not because its financial performance was terrible but because the company that invented the 140-character tweet failed to add enough new users.
In the last three months, Twitter gained four million new users. Although that is up 11% from a year earlier, the 320 million monthly active users were still short of the 324 million forecast by many analysts here.
It's not a great start for Jack Dorsey, who was confirmed as chief executive earlier this month.
For investors, the number of users and how fast that figure is growing is a measure not just of Twitter's health today, but of its prospects for the future.
Last quarter, when he returned to the helm, Mr Dorsey sent Twitter shares lower after saying that he was not satisfied with user growth and that the product was too complicated to use.
Since then Mr Dorsey, who also runs payments company Square, has set about trying to fix this problem.
Earlier this month he slashed 8% of Twitter's workforce. Almost at the same time, Twitter rolled out Moments, a service that collects tweets and links about noteworthy news events.
And more recently, Twitter released a polling tool that allows users to tweet a poll with two choices.
Mr Dorsey's attempts to revitalise the company he co-founded may only just have begun, but he will have to do a lot more to persuade investors that user growth is just around the corner.

Dave Lee, BBC North America technology reporter, San Francisco
During his conference call with investors, Jack Dorsey cited a punishing statistic about Twitter.
In its target markets - the Western world, basically - Twitter has around 90% brand recognition among the general population. Which figures, it's a household name and a brand that is uttered constantly in the media.
But despite that awareness, it often has less than 30% penetration in those same areas. As in, even though lots of people know about Twitter, few of them are bothering to sign up and get involved.
Why? Mr Dorsey thinks it's too complicated for people to understand. To combat this he's instructed his team to work on tools that make things easier. The flagship feature for this way of thinking is Moments, which gathers tweets based not on who you follow, but what events you are interested in.
"Our products need to change in a fundamental way to attract that next cohort [of users]," Mr Dorsey told investors.
But that will be extremely difficult. Mr Dorsey essentially has to conceive and build the next Twitter, while at the same time not dismantling current Twitter.
The task is even more enormous when you consider very few of the key traits that made Twitter popular were even invented by the company in the first place.
Hashtags? Invented by a user. Retweets? A user. Even the convention of using "@" to mention another Twitter came from a user, albeit sort-of accidentally.
When Mr Dorsey talks about Twitter's mission under his leadership it's one of simplicity and speed. Simple tools, released quickly.
In the pipeline, efforts to enhance Twitter as a place to interact with (and complain at) brands. And if you are a brand, tools that will allow you to monitor how your efforts on Twitter, be it ads or just presence, are performing.

Under Mr Anwar, the so-called People's Alliance coalition had made significant gains and posed the biggest threat to Malaysia's governing coalition since the country's independence.
But in the wake of his arrest the three parties clashed over policies.
Prior to the break up, Prime Minister Najib Razak's own ruling coalition had been struggling to win back votes.
The dispute began over an attempt by the conservative Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) to enforce a form of Islamic law called hudud.
The more liberal and ethnic Chinese-dominated Democractic Action Party (DAP) objected to the move and the two parties voted to sever ties with one another.
Mr Anwar's multi-faith and multi-ethnic Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) declared on Wednesday that the alliance "no longer functions formally."
The future of the opposition is unclear as a few parties say they will still work with each other and some analysts said a reconciliation was possible.
Mr Anwar was in February jailed for five years after losing his appeal on a sodomy charge, which he claims was politically motivated.
The next general elections are due in 2018.

The IOC announced mixed-gender events in athletics, swimming, table tennis and triathlon have been approved for Tokyo.
Stanford could link up with the Brownlee brothers for Team GB in Japan in three years.
"It's fantastic and something I am excited about," said Stanford.
The 29-year-old was fourth in the Rio Olympics individual event after finishing behind her house-mate Vicky Holland.
"The team relay has proved to be a very popular event with the athletes and spectators and audiences," said Stanford.
"The team element is not something we see a lot with triathlon very often, so to be able to compete genuinely as a team will be fantastic.
"It's another medal event for triathlon in the Olympics and the more medal events we can get the better."
In the meantime, she competes in the World Series event in Leeds on Sunday.
Stanford could be one of a number of Welsh sportswomen to benefit from changes to mixed gender events.
Double Olympic swimming silver medallist and Commonwealth Games champion Jazz Carlin could target the 1500m freestyle after previous 400m and 800m success.
Fellow swimmers Georgia Davies and Chloe Tutton might be contenders for the 4x100m medley mixed relay, while Olympic athlete Seren Bundy-Davies would be in line for a place on the track in the 4x400m mixed relay.
The introduction of the Madison in the cycling programme could benefit Olympic team pursuit champion Elinor Barker, while mixed team events in the judo could benefit 2014 Commonwealth Games champion Natalie Powell.
Tokyo will have five more sports than Rio, taking the total to 33, but the existing sports have been given 15 more events.

Jim Halliday spotted the pair squabbling over bird food left outside his home in Annan.
Nature-lover Jim was in his garage at the time with a camera to hand.
"I had just put down some cheese on an old stone bird bath, then these guys appeared and started scrapping for a free meal," he said.
"I managed to turn round at the noise they were making and snapped away quickly.
"I always carry my camera everywhere, you just never know with nature."
Jim couldn't believe the "once-in-a lifetime" shot he had captured. He took up photography as a hobby three years ago.
He posted his photo to his Facebook page and got a fantastic response. Many commented that the starlings appeared to be locked in a dance.
"I have been overwhelmed with the beautiful comments," said Jim.
"I have many nature and photography groups on my page and the reaction has been hugely appreciated."
The Finance Committee's report said a law was needed to strengthen the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales' powers, so he can start an investigation without first needing a complaint.
Ombudsman Nick Bennett said there was a chance for AMs to "hit the ground running" to help improve services.
He had called for the power to hold his own inquiries last year.
The AMs also recommended the ombudsman's jurisdiction should include private healthcare providers.
Committee chairwoman Jocelyn Davies said: "We sincerely hope this legislation is taken forward during the fifth assembly and that its implementation will enhance the role of the ombudsman and increase public confidence in Wales."
Philip Whitehouse, who farms in Mitcheldean, said he had lost 12 sheep in three dog attacks since July.
A Gloucestershire firm that trains dogs how to behave near farm animals said attacks were becoming more common.
Gloucestershire Police urged owners to keep their dogs on leads when near livestock in the countryside.
Mr Whitehouse said: "In July we had seven lambs killed, in the second attack two or three dogs were involved and four sheep drowned, and in the last attack two or three sheep were injured and one had to be put down.
"We've never had three attacks in a short space of time before."
Keith Fallon from Cotswold Pet Services, which trains dogs how to behave, said: "We've seen a rise of attacks by dogs on all types of livestock, and not just livestock - we've also seen attacks on cyclists and joggers, and car chasing."
David George, from the National Farmers Union (NFU) in the South West, said: "There's no such thing as a bad dog - it's bad owners.
"It's important that people know where their dogs are and what they're doing, and they don't just let them off [the lead] to run unsupervised."
Gloucestershire Police's rural and environmental crime liaison officer, Sgt Simon Clemett, said: "Nationally there probably is an increase [in attacks].
"Within Gloucestershire we're seeing it more because we're taking more of an interest, and we're taking action against it."
He said police were working with the farming community and the NFU, and signs were being erected on land where public footpaths crossed farmland, to warn dog owners to keep their dogs on leads. | Syria's opposition National Coalition has taken the country's official seat at the Arab League summit in Qatar.

The latest ITV Wales/YouGov poll suggests Labour would remain the biggest party with 28 seats, down two from the current 30. It also indicated a decline in Conservative support - 10 seats, down four from the current 14 - and an increase for Plaid Cymru, up to 12 seats from its current 11. The big winners, the poll suggests, would be UKIP with the party winning eight seats. The Lib Dems would be left with just two seats.
I am not questioning the polls or their relevance, although it would be a pity to build an election narrative purely around poll predictions. But I would suggest that the local-versus-national picture means that, in reality, opinion polls have a limited value in predicting the outcome of the election.
Local factors, turn-out, even the performance of local schools, hospitals and council services, alongside the state of the parties locally or the popularity of the incumbent AM or candidate, will have a big influence in determining seat changes and therefore the outcome and composition of the assembly, and ultimately the next Welsh government.
Our electoral system, the Additional Member System, has an in-built inelasticity. Whilst AMS purports to be proportional, its Welsh variant is, in truth, mostly first-past-the-post in that the overall balance between constituencies and regional AMs clearly favours the largest and still dominant party - Labour. Furthermore, the way in which the additional regional AMs are elected means a limited ceiling and floor for each party in terms of seats it can gain.
Issues like a party's capacity for mounting a strong local campaign - not to be underestimated as most parties are hollowed out machines these days and heavily reliant on a smallish group of activists and volunteers to knock doors, deliver leaflets and maintain supporter records to ensure the vote is "got out" on election day - and, of course, UKIP's relative appeal will make a difference.
I would not go so far as to suggest there will be 40 distinct local campaigns, but the local will make a difference in key constituencies like Llanelli, Vale of Glamorgan, Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, Brecon and Radnorshire, Vale of Clwyd, Aberconwy, Cardiff North, Cardiff Central and Gower, where it will be very difficult to predict the outcome.
One clue as to where perceived strength lies will be where each party launches its manifesto - remember the Conservatives launched their Welsh one in Gower in last year's UK general election which the party surprised most people by going on to narrowly win - as well as where each party leader pops up most in the final fortnight of the campaign.
The other reason why the local is so significant is because of low turnout, around 42% in the last election in 2011 - the knife edge between winning enough seats to form a minority government or facing a reluctant coalition, formal or informal.
So, the numbers game is delicate and the local is influential. A seat here or there can have enormous national political repercussions - a distinctive and powerful local campaign might well determine not only the future leadership of the parties, but the range of government options that are possible for the next five years. | As the BBC Wales election tour gets underway, I'm looking forward to hearing the views of voters across the country. | 36,057,328 | 710 | 25 | false |
How many of them opt to stay determines just how much incoming business Hurst must do at the Meadow this summer.
"It's about getting value for money," Hurst told BBC Radio Shropshire.
"You always want more. But the business I've done in the main has been good. People say I'm conscientious."
He added: "We're never going to have the biggest budget in this league, we know that. But I knew that when I first came.
"As much as you can, you treat it like it's your own money."
Hurst wants to keep hold of the Shropshire club's player of the year Mat Sadler, 32, and winger Shaun Whalley, 29.
He also offered deals to teenage keeper Shaun Rowley and 21-year-old midfielder Bryn Morris, who came from Middlesbrough in mid-season.
But he has released number two keeper Mark Halstead, 26, and three younger players - Kaiman Anderson, 20, Callum Grogan, 19, and Ethan Jones, 19.
Six loan players have returned to their clubs - Nottingham Forest midfielder Ryan Yates, 19, strikers Freddie Ladapo, 24, (Crystal Palace), Tyler Roberts, 18, (West Bromwich Albion), Stefan Payne, 25, (Barnsley) and Steve Humphrys, 19, who returns to Fulham, along with right-back Jack Grimmer.
And speculation continues over the future of defenders Olly Lancashire and Ryan McGivern, midfielders Adam El Abd and Jim O'Brien, who finished the season in Scotland on loan at Ross County and striker AJ Leitch-Smith.
Shrewsbury finished 18th in the 2016-17 season, an improvement of only one point, but two places better than their 20th-placed finish in 2015-16.
BBC Radio Shropshire's Shrewsbury match summariser Mark Elliott
"Shrewsbury Town have spent four of the past five seasons in League One, but the club has never managed to build a squad capable of competing during a summer transfer window.
"That's left them scrambling for enough points to avoid relegation in each of those seasons, whilst a succession of managers have sought to patch up squads lacking in quality with short-term loan signings.
"The summer is the time to buy and build for the long term, with good players out of contract and plenty of talent looking for a new home.
"But, to make the most of it and avoid another season of struggle, Paul Hurst will need to get off the payroll a number of underperforming first-team players signed by former manager Micky Mellon."
His corpse lay on a road with what appeared to be wounds to the head and body, Reuters news agency reports. It is not yet known who killed the cleric.
Mr Shariff, known as Makaburi, had been listed by the UN as a recruiter for the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group.
He is the third Muslim cleric to be killed in Mombasa since 2012.
Riots broke out in parts of the city as news of the cleric's killing spread, reports the BBC's Muliro Telewa from the capital, Nairobi.
Police fired into the air to push back furious supporters of Mr Shariff, as his family arrived to identify the body, eyewitnesses said.
The UN Security Council had sanctioned the cleric as "a leading facilitator and recruiter of young Kenyan Muslims for violent militant activity in Somalia".
He always denied recruiting for al-Shabab, or calling on his followers to travel to Somalia to fight.
In a BBC interview in December, Mr Shariff said he was aware he could be killed by the Kenyan security services but added that he was not living in fear.
"I do not fear for my safety," he said. "I know they are going to kill me. But I am a Muslim. I believe that my life and death [are] in the hands of Allah."
Last October, Muslim cleric Ibrahim "Rogo" Omar was gunned down in Mombasa.
His killing was similar to that of cleric, Aboud Rogo Mohammed, who was killed in August 2012.
Mr Mohammed had also been accused of recruiting and fundraising for al-Shabab.
Their killings sparked riots in Mombasa.
Supporters of the clerics accused members of the security forces of killing them - allegations denied by government officials.
There have been no arrests over the killings.
Conservative London Assembly member Kemi Badenoch is calling for the Mayor Boris Johnson to do more to tackle the under-reporting of the crime.
The Metropolitan Police recorded the highest number of assaults in the UK between 2010 and 2014.
The force said it had officers trained to help male victims of sexual assault.
More on this story and other news from London
A report called Silent Suffering has highlighted a number of concerns, specifically that men felt less able than women to report being victims of sexual assault and rape to police.
It says this is due to "a multitude of social, procedural and emotional barriers" which prevent male victims from coming forward and being referred to support services.
The London-based charity Survivors UK which helps male victims of sex abuse, had its funding cut by the mayor's office in March.
A spokesman for the mayor's office for policing and crime said it was due to hold a special conference next week to improve services for all victims, including men, of sexual assault and rape.
Mrs Badenoch has called for Boris Johnson to host a summit and develop a strategy to specifically assist male victims of sexual offences.
One proposal put forward in the Silent Suffering report is that Boris Johnson should lobby the government to amend the Sexual Offences Act 2003 to include male victims, as has been done in the US.
At present, a woman cannot in law "rape" a man owing to the definition of the crime.
The Metropolitan Police said it was aware that rape remained "significantly under-reported... not least by male victims".
The force added it is working with relevant support agencies to increase reporting.
Rape victim John Lennon was violently attacked in his Manchester home by a man he allowed to stay as a guest for a few days.
He said the attack left him needing plastic surgery to repair scarring to his face and his genitals.
"I was in and out of consciousness," he said. "I got away after hitting him over the head with a hammer.
"I ran, I went to a local park and hid in the bushes."
Mr Lennon said he was so traumatised by the attack it took him 48 hours to report the crime to police.
He said he had been "lucky" to be seen by a male police officer who had been given specialist training to work with victims of sexual assault.
The merger, between the City of Bath College and Norton Radstock College, will bring together more than 3,000 full time and 1,000 part time students.
Norton Radstock College was given the poor rating after Ofsted said leaders had not carried out suggested improvements "with sufficient urgency".
Bath College will run from the Avon Street and Somer Valley campuses.
Principal Matt Atkinson said the merger would allow it to offer a wider range of vocational and academic courses.
The Ofsted report followed an inspection at Norton Radstock College in May 2014.
It said the leadership team had "not acted with sufficient determination to ensure that targets, actions and sharing of best practice have secured consistent improvement across the college".
It added since its last full inspection in March 2010 the college had "not improved significantly" and that the principal, senior leaders and managers have "been too slow to ensure planned improvements have enough impact".
Then the education watchdog described Norton Radstock College as a "satisfactory college with a good capacity to improve".
The 57-year-old, from Prestatyn, Denbighshire, allegedly entered an illegal form of marriage in Llandudno in June 2014.

The Sun is the biggest object in the Solar System and makes up 99% of its mass. Its diameter is around 109 times bigger than Earth, but you could fit over A MILLION Earths inside the Sun.
Astronomers think that the Sun (and the planets) formed from the solar nebula about 4.59 billion years ago, so it's pretty old!
Its temperature is 5,500 degrees Celsius on the surface and a whopping 15.6 million degrees Celsius at the core.
The temperature of the sun isn't the same all over; in some places 'sun spots' occur where it isn't as hot as elsewhere.
It's made almost entirely of hydrogen, with a little helium and a few heavier gases including oxygen - and there's even some iron in there too.
Light from the Sun reaches the Earth in just 8 minutes!
Remember - don't ever look directly at the sun - you could seriously damage your eyes.
So he returned to his home in west London's Notting Hill, picked them up and kissed his wife, Christine, goodbye. It was to be their final kiss.
Mr Wise made his way into the City, the same journey he had made for the past 10 years.
At 0920 BST, he called his wife to say he had overheard Transport for London workers saying there had been an explosion and he would see her later.
He also called a colleague to let him know he would be late for work and would take a bus instead of the Tube.
Mr Wise was killed on the number 30 bus in Tavistock Square when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb at 0947 BST.
The 54-year-old had grown up in Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire, the son of a GP. His mother died when he was young and he suffered from epilepsy.
In 1976, he married Christine, but 11 years later they separated. At the time of his death, they had been back together for two years.
Together, they planned to get fit and had joined a gym. In a statement to police made in 2005, Mrs Wise said her husband had undergone a leg operation shortly before his death but otherwise he was healthy, neither smoking nor drinking much.
An IT specialist at Equitas Holdings in St Mary Axe, near Liverpool Street, Mr Wise enjoyed a morning ritual of visiting the Leonidas Belgian chocolate shop at the station.
There he would meet a small group of acquaintances and sip a double espresso, before completing the last leg of his journey on foot. It was something he had enjoyed doing for seven years.
Narisa Monopoli, the former owner of the shop, said: "He was such a gentle, gentle man. He would sit on the high chair in the corner and chat to a group of corporate lawyers who also came in every morning.
"He never had a bad word to say about anyone, he was such a lovely guy."
Like clockwork, Mr Wise always arrived at the shop at 0830 and stayed for half an hour, she said, but on the day of his death he was running late.
He once joked with her that he had probably caused a bomb scare in the past by leaving his bag on the train after having an epileptic seizure.
Mr Wise, who enjoyed following football, is survived by a brother who is a banker, another who is a neurology lecturer, and a sister in Canada.
MSF singled out the EU's deal with Turkey under which Turkey agreed to take back any migrants who crossed the sea to Greece in smugglers' boats.
The number of migrants - many from war-torn Syria - to Europe is at its highest level since World War Two.
The charity received $63m (£44m) from the EU and its members last year.
"MSF announces today that we will no longer take funds from the EU and its Member States in protest at their shameful deterrence policies and their intensification of efforts to push people back from European shores," the group said in a statement.
Migrant crisis: Migration to Europe explained in seven charts
Jerome Oberreit, MSF's international secretary general, told a news conference that the EU-Turkey agreement went against the fundamental principles of providing assistance to people in need.
He said the deal did nothing to address the chronic deficiencies of EU policy, but simply outsourced European obligations.
"This is really about Europe's refugee shame," he said.
MSF said none of its patients would be affected by its decision on funding, and that in the short term it would cover the shortfall from emergency reserves.
The organisation receives 90% of its overall funding from private sources, not governments.
The EU-Turkey deal came into effect on 20 March.
Migrants arriving in Greece are now expected to be sent back to Turkey if they do not apply for asylum or their claim is rejected.
For every Syrian migrant sent back to Turkey, one Syrian already in Turkey will be resettled in the EU.
A month into the arrangement, EU officials said it had begun to produce results.
Go anywhere on Europe's well-trodden migrant trail over the past 18 months and you will see familiar red and white MSF logos on tents, filled with recent arrivals from the Middle East and Africa.
MSF says the recently signed EU-Turkey deal - acclaimed as a success by the European Commission - has come at huge human cost.
More than 50,000 refugees remain stranded in Greece, housed in old factories, warehouses and tents, often in dire conditions. The EU's relocation policy - the idea that these people will be distributed fairly across the continent - is barely functioning.
Desperate, with no prospects, some groups of refugees have even decided to return to Syria, considering they might have a more viable future there.
However, it is the long-term effect of the policy that MSF is worried about.
Mr Oberreit highlighted Kenya, where the government recently cited European migration policy to justify its decision to close the world's largest refugee camp, Dadaab, in order to send its residents back to Somalia.
And it seems the EU is modelling its future migration policy on the Turkey deal too, offering aid funding to several African countries in order to stop the flow of people leaving - what Mr Oberreit calls the EU buying its way out of its responsibilities and values.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that more than 1,011,700 migrants arrived by sea in 2015, though other agencies put that number much higher.
Most of the migrants take the relatively short journey from Turkey to Greece, though some leave from Libya, hoping to make it to Italy.
In the latest incident at sea, more than 200 migrants were rescued from a sinking ship off the coast of Greece on Thursday.
On board was a pregnant Eritrean woman who gave birth shortly after they were rescued. She named the girl "Gelila" meaning "from the ocean".
The Dutch frigate that conducted the rescue is part of Operation Trident run by European border control agency Frontex.
MSF also has three vessels patrolling the Mediterranean, which it says have rescued 3,349 people in the course of 27 different rescue operations since April.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.
The Government Accountability Office said the Pentagon was one of several departments where "legacy systems" urgently needed to be replaced.
The report said taxpayers spent $61bn (£41bn) a year on maintaining ageing technologies.
It said that was three times more than the investment on modern IT systems.
The report said that the Department of Defence systems that co-ordinated intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear bombers and tanker support aircraft "runs on an IBM Series-1 Computer - a 1970s computing system - and uses eight-inch floppy disks".
"This system remains in use because, in short, it still works," Pentagon spokeswoman Lt Col Valerie Henderson told the AFP news agency.
"However, to address obsolescence concerns, the floppy drives are scheduled to be replaced with secure digital devices by the end of 2017."
She added: "Modernisation across the entire Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications enterprise remains ongoing."
The report said that the Pentagon was planning to fully replace the system by the end of 2020.
According to the report, the US treasury also needed to upgrade its systems, which it said was using "assembly language code - a computer language initially used in the 1950s and typically tied to the hardware for which it was developed".
Goals from Thiago and Xabi Alonso put the home side firmly in control before Leipzig's Emil Fosberg saw red for a nasty foul on Philipp Lahm.
Robert Lewandowski made it 3-0 from the penalty spot after Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulasci had fouled Douglas Costa.
Lewandowski was denied twice as Leipzig kept Bayern at bay after the break.
It is just a second league loss of the season for Leipzig, who are in their debut Bundesliga campaign.
Formed in 2009 when drinks manufacturer Red Bull bought the licence of amateur club SSV Markranstadt and changed their name, Leipzig have achieved four promotions in seven years to reach the German top flight.
Under coach Ralph Hasenhuttl, they won 11 of their first 15 matches, including a victory over last season's runners-up Borussia Dortmund.
However, they were emphatically put in their place by the reigning champions, who were fortunate not to fall behind early on when Yussuf Poulsen failed to connect with Timo Werner's low cross, but after that were irresistible.
Thiago had a simple job in finding an empty net from close range after Lewandowski's shot had struck the post.
Costa struck the upright from an angled strike but the home side would not be denied a second goal for long as Alonso drove home from inside the box after collecting a pass from the scorer of the first.
It was 3-0 and game over before the break as Costa was tripped in the box by Gulasci after running clear of the defence to collect Mats Hummels ball over the top.
Lewandowski converted from the spot and could have had a hat-trick but with just the keeper to beat on two separate occasions in the second half the Polish striker came off second best.
Gulasci was beaten again late in the game but substitute Franck Ribery's fierce strike from inside the box struck the crossbar and bounced on the goal-line before being cleared.

Mr Yarrington, who was governor of the border state from 1999 to 2004, has been charged with money laundering.
Prosecutors say he accepted millions of dollars in bribes from the Gulf Cartel in return for allowing it to smuggle large amounts of cocaine into the US.
Mr Yarrington, who is being sought by the US, has denied the charges.
His lawyer said the charges were politically motivated and denied his client was hiding from the authorities.
According to the prosecution, Mr Yarrington started receiving payments from the Gulf drugs cartel when he was running for governor of Tamaulipas, a north-eastern Mexican state bordering Texas criss-crossed by drug smuggling routes.
He allegedly continued accepting the bribes during his tenure, investing the money in properties across Texas,The indictment also accuses Mr Yarrington of accepting cocaine in exchange for facilitating access to Mexican ports.
Mr Yarrington was suspended from the governing Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) last year after allegations of his ties with the Gulf cartel surfaced.
The Gulf cartel is one of Mexico's largest criminal organisations with extensive international connections.
It engages in drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping and murder from its power base in Matamoros, Tamaulipas.
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said 11 babies on the University Hospital of Wales unit were being cared for and their condition was improving.
New admissions stopped in late August because of a "cluster of infections".
The board has not confirmed whether or not the unit has reopened to new patients or what the infections are.
A spokesman said one baby was discharged last weekend.
Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill and the Scottish Prison Service's medical chief Dr Andrew Fraser were invited.
Senators also invited Westminster former justice secretary Jack Straw.
BP chief executive Tony Hayward was asked to attend after allegations that Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi's release was linked to an oil deal.
Megrahi was jailed for life for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 in 1988 which killed 270 people, most of them Americans.
He was released by the Scottish government in August 2009 and allowed to return to Libya on compassionate grounds, after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The Scottish government maintains that the release was solely because of Megrahi's terminal illness and had nothing to do with a prisoner transfer agreement between the UK government and Libya.
The US Senate believes BP lobbied for Megrahi's release in order to get an oil deal in Libya.
It was reported that former UK prime minister Tony Blair had been invited to the US Senate foreign relations committee hearing, but the committee has apologised that a draft letter to Mr Blair was published in error. A committee spokesman has since said Mr Blair will not be invited to appear.
Mr Straw said: "Before coming to any decision as to whether to accept this invitation, I shall be consulting Gordon Brown, as prime minister at the time, and seeking the advice of the Foreign Office."
A BP spokesman said: "We have received the invitation and we are considering it."
A spokesperson for the Scottish government confirmed that the invitation to Mr MacAskill and Dr Fraser had been turned down.
The Senate hoped the two men would testify on Capitol Hill on 29 July.
The spokesperson added: "Since the Lockerbie atrocity in 1988, all matters regarding the investigation, prosecution and compassionate release decision have been conducted according to the jurisdiction and laws of Scotland.
"Clearly, the Senate Committee has responsibility to scrutinise decisions taken within the US system, and Scottish ministers and public officials are accountable within the Scottish Parliament system. That is the constitutional basis of our democracies.
"The Scottish Parliament's justice committee has already undertaken a full inquiry into the decision on compassionate release, and the Westminster Scottish affairs committee has also examined the issue in terms of the formal inter-governmental relations that exist within the UK. That is right and proper."
The spokesperson also said the Scottish government would be happy to supply further written evidence to the US Senate.
The decision not to attend was criticised by Labour's Holyrood justice spokesman Richard Baker.
He told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme: "I think it speaks volumes about the lack of confidence he has now in his own decision that he is running a mile from any scrutiny of it."
He said it was "perfectly legitimate" for US senators to ask Mr MacAskill to travel to Washington and answer questions.

The Labour-run council put forward new budget proposals last week which include reducing funding for day centres, cutting around 600 jobs and increasing council tax by 5%.
The final budget will be voted on next week, but the opposition groups are now preparing an alternative.
Opposition leaders met the council's chief executive Paul Orders and two Labour members on Wednesday morning to discuss their proposals.
They would need support from several Labour rebels to stop leader Phil Bale's budget getting through.
Labour sources have told BBC Wales there is unhappiness within the 45-strong Labour group about Cllr Bale's proposed budget.
An announcement from the opposition on the details of their alternative proposal is expected on Friday.
A Cardiff council spokesman confirmed Wednesday's meeting took place but said it was "part and parcel" of the budget-setting process.
A Labour party spokesperson said: "Any breach of group whip in respect of the budget is likely to lead to very serious disciplinary action."
Regulatory filings show Sports Direct has now upped its interest in Debenhams stock from 13.38% to 16.09%.
But instead of buying Debenhams shares outright, the sports firm instead holds "options in stock", which gives it a right to buy shares at a future date.
It also holds "contracts for differences", a form of financial bet on the future Debenhams share price.
Sports Direct first revealed an interest in Debenhams more than three years ago.
Sports Direct has 420 UK stores and owns several brands including Dunlop, Slazenger, Everlast and Karrimor.
It was taken public by Mr Ashley in February 2007 and is a member of the FTSE 250, having spent two-and-a-half years years in the FTSE 100.
Debenhams has 240 stores in 27 countries and reports its half-year results on 20 April.
Shares in the company were trading as high as 81.55p last April, but now stand at 54.40p.
More than 350 workers and their families from south Wales, south Yorkshire and north Derbyshire claim dust and fumes led to ill health.
A judge at the High Court in London ruled on Tuesday that a group compensation case can go ahead.
The coking ovens were used to purify coal for iron and steel makers.
At its height, the coking industry in Wales extended to 13 plants, mostly in south Wales, and one in Shotton in Flintshire.
The ex-NCB workers are taking their case against the UK government, Coal Products Ltd and National Smokeless Fuels Ltd.
A separate compensation claim is also being lodged by workers who say they developed similar illnesses while working at British Steel coking ovens.
The High Court heard claimants have suffered from asthma, as well as skin and lung cancer.
The hearing was told that one of the issues for the judge who hears the case will be to decide whether their conditions were caused in the workplace or from cigarette smoking and whether the defendants had taken all reasonable steps to reduce exposure.
The next stage of the process will be to appoint a judge to hear the claims, with a case management hearing in November.
David and Maria Summers had been living in Canada but moved back to his family home in Herefordshire to look after his 95-year-old mother.
Mrs Summers was denied a visa and sent back to Canada just as her husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer.
After a year-long visa row she has been granted right of abode for a decade.
Updates on this story and more from Herefordshire
The mother of one said she was first refused a UK visa because they could not prove an "affectionate relationship" - a decision overturned by a tribunal.
Her next application was refused on the grounds that their joint income was insufficient, which the couple disputed.
David Cameron said he would look into the couple's case when it was raised at Prime Minister's Questions on 18 November.
Jesse Norman, MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire, said Mr and Mrs Summers had experienced "a long and frustrating struggle".
"But this decision now means Maria has the right to enter the country again and remain in the UK for at least 10 years," said Mr Norman.
"It's not yet a permanent solution, but it is a huge step forward."
Mrs Summers was born in the Netherlands and emigrated to Canada with her parents when she was 10 years old.
Mr Summers, 70, a Herefordshire councillor for Dinedor Hill, travelled to Canada when he was 18.
The pair met at a dance in 1966 and married four years later.
Mr Summers, who has two chemotherapy sessions left of his treatment, said: "I'm ecstatic. it will ne nice not to go home to an empty house every day."
"It's been a nightmare and I hope it's over," said Mrs Summers.
Sheffield had been angered after Friday's scheduled game in Belfast was postponed to accommodate a rescheduled concert by pop band One Direction.
But on Saturday, Mitch Ganzak and Mark Garside netted early Giants goals.
Mathiue Roy replied for Sheffield before Colin Shields and Jonathan Boxill completed the scoring.
With their travel arrangements having already been made, both the Sheffield squad and the club's band of supporters were upset at having unexpected time on their hands in Belfast evening as opposed to the scheduled Elite League match.
And the unexpected midweek developments after the rescheduling of Tuesday's One Direction gig to Friday at the SSE Arena only increased an already strong rivalry between the two ice hockey clubs.
Ganzak put Belfast ahead after only two minutes and Garside quickly doubled the home team's advantage.
A lively opening period continued as Roy pulled a goal back for the Steelers but Shields restored Belfast's two-goal advantage after being set up by James Desmarais.
After a goal-less second period, Boxill extended Belfast's lead to 4-1 after two Sheffield players had been left sprawled on the ice.
Belfast will be back in action on Sunday evening when they are away to Dundee Stars.
Gary Woods, 27, of Innis Hostel in Belfast, was given Northern Ireland's first Violent Offences Prevention Order (VOPO) in January.
It was imposed on him at the request of Chief Constable George Hamilton.
The unsuccessful appeal hearing took place at the Bishop Street Courthouse in Londonderry.
A VOPO is a civil prevention order which a court can issue to offenders who pose a risk of serious violent harm to the public.
Under the terms of the order, Woods must also only live at an address approved by the Probation Service, and is banned from having a mobile phone, a SIM card or any device with internet accessibility.
His criminal record, of 26 previous convictions, includes three serious assaults, one kidnapping, one false imprisonment and one common assault.
All of his victims were vulnerable young women with whom he had a relationship.
The judge said he was satisfied that the VOPO should run for three years.
At the request of a barrister representing Mr Hamilton, the judge added a further condition to the order that Woods must not delete any history from any mobile phone or SIM card or from any other device used for communication purposes.
Markit's purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the manufacturing sector rose to a 10-month high of 52.2 in March as eurozone factories benefited from the weaker currency.
It is the 23rd consecutive month that the index has been over 50, indicating growth rather than contraction.
Companies created jobs at the quickest pace for three and a half years.
"March saw the sharpest increase in new export orders since April 2014. Companies reported that the weaker euro was the main factor driving new export orders higher," said Chris Williamson, Markit's chief economist.
"This is still a fledgling recovery, however, and the overall rate of expansion remains only modest."
Ireland and Spain led the board with PMI figures of 56.8 and 54.3 respectively, while growth also improved in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
But PMI readings in France, Greece and Austria remained below 50.
The euro has fallen nearly 12% since January due to the expectation and then implementation of the European Central Bank's policy of increasing the money supply through quantitative easing.
As a result, foreign imports into the eurozone have been more expensive, providing less competition for domestic firms, who have also found it easier to sell their goods abroad more cheaply.
The health and safety ban in Severn View, Garndiffaith, near Pontypool, came after a postman complained.
But Royal Mail said it would reinstate deliveries to two of the 10 houses after a "further safety assessment".
It has also proposed installing external mailboxes to the rear of the other eight properties.
"If they are willing to do something to help residents, I can't complain," said local county councillor Gwyneira Clark.
"I wouldn't want to jeopardise health and safety.
"But would like to be there with the residents and a representative from the post office before they action any alternative post boxes."
Royal Mail initially said a short stretch of grass between car tracks and residents' front doors was unsafe so the 10 homes needed to collect mail from a local Post Office.
"We apologise to residents at Severn View for the continued disruption to their mail service," a Royal Mail spokesman said on Friday.
Because the latest CPI inflation figures show that in spite of continued falls in energy and food prices, there is the minutest amount of inflation in the system, where many thought there was none: CPI inflation rose 0.1% in July.
As for so-called core inflation, that rose from 0.8% in June to 1.2%.
Now although I know we are supposed to think this core measure is what we should get desperately excited about, because it screens out more volatile items, the yo-yoing items are the things we spend most of our money on - food, alcoholic beverages, energy and tobacco - so I find it quite hard to take it too seriously.
They are the items which matter most, for example, to those on lowest incomes.
What's more, those excluded items signal deflationary tendencies in the world as a whole - and in particular they tell us that the slowdown in China and emerging markets is an important phenomenon, for all of us.
That said these deflationary pressures are being offset by the increase in our spending power - with wages significantly outstripping prices rise - which is encouraging us to buy a bit more.
The rise in core inflation tells us that domestic demand for goods and services, from consumers and businesses, is reasonably robust. Which is a good thing: it underpins our economic recovery.
But that return of core inflation to the levels we saw in February doesn't signal that we face a sudden explosive burst in inflation.
Equally, rampant inflation does not seem to me to be the main implication of the single factor that prevented inflation remaining flat or going negative again: prices for clothing and footwear fell 3.4% between June and July, smaller than 5.7% drop in the equivalent period last year/
It is probably an encouraging sign that retailers felt confident enough to cut their prices less than they did last year, but that is not exactly redolent of soaraway inflation.
All of which suggests that the governor's recent nods to a 0.25% increase around March next year in the interest rate set by the Bank of England does not need amending - because today's figures reinforce the idea that inflation is heading back to the 2% target in around two years.
That said, a big uncertainty has been created by the growing evidence of the slowdown in China, and China's decision to export falling prices through a devaluation.
So although Mark Carney may be feeling comfortable today that he sent an appropriate signal to us about the timing and quantum of a first interest rate rise since 2009, a further deferral - due to the import of Chinese disinflation - is not impossible.
Back-row Baxter and wing Considine are among four changes to the team which was beaten by England in their final Six Nations game in March.
Cliodhna Moloney comes in at hooker and Heather O'Brien starts at number eight.
Ireland, who reached the semi-finals of the tournament in 2014, also play Japan and France in Group C.
Positional switches see Paula Fitzpatrick move from the back row to lock while Hanna Tyrrell is at full-back after starting on the wing against England.
Clair Molloy will captain the Irish team following the withdrawal of Niamh Briggs because of an Achilles injury.
"The squad are very excited to get the tournament under way," said Ireland head coach Tom Tierney.
"They have had excellent preparation and things have really come together since arriving into UCD on Saturday afternoon and everyone has been extremely focused on their role and the challenge ahead.
"The Australians are a good team and we will have to be very good for the opening game. The players are all very clear on the challenges that the Wallaroos pose.
"However this is a home World Cup and we're confident that the crowd will get behind us on Wednesday evening, which will be an added benefit for us."
Ireland: H Tyrell; E Considine, J Murphy, S Naoupu, A Miller; N Stapleton, L Muldoon; L Peat, C Moloney, A Egan, P Fitzpatrick, ML Reilly, A Baxter, C Molloy, H O'Brien.
Replacements: L Lyons, R O'Reilly, C O'Connor, S Spence, C Griffin, N Cronin, K Fitzhenry, M Coyne.

The Premier League side have won the European Cup three times but have never triumphed in the continent's secondary club competition.
Dutch side Ajax, winners in 1992, come up against French club Lyon in the other last-four tie.
The first legs will be played on 4 May with the second leg on 11 May, and the final in Stockholm, Sweden on 24 May.
United manager Jose Mourinho won the competition with Porto in 2003 and comes up against La Liga club Celta, who have never won a major European competition.
Ajax, who beat Schalke 4-3 on aggregate to reach the last four, are also experienced European campaigners. They have won the Champions League/European Cup four times previously and the Europa League/Uefa Cup once, beating Torino in the 1992 final.
In the Champions League draw, holders Real Madrid play city rivals Atletico Madrid and French side Monaco take on Italian club Juventus.
Zinedine Zidane's side could become the first club to retain the trophy in the Champions League era in the final on 3 June in Cardiff.
The first legs of those ties will be played on 2 and 3 May, with the return legs taking place the following week.
“It probably would have been impossible to start Slack in the UK.”
Slack, a workplace communications tool valued earlier this year at $3.8bn, is unquestionably one of San Francisco’s hottest start-ups. And, as well as Henderson, the company is peppered with British technology talent.
“Because of the way we built the company, and the money that starting the kind of company like Slack requires, it’s just not possible anywhere outside of the Valley.”
Henderson’s words are tough love. He isn’t writing off the UK’s chances as a tech hub, far from it. But he is unequivocal in his belief that the company he co-founded could not have succeeded back home.
It should make worrying reading for anyone with a stake in the UK’s technology business, and its chances - as we’ve been investigating this week on BBC News - of creating “the next Google”.
I’ve spent time chatting to British success stories in San Francisco’s start-up scene. Some wanted to be a part of this story, others didn’t - but all expressed the same sentiment: Britain just isn’t in the same league when it comes to being able to consistently nurture successful technology companies.
But it could be, one day.
In just two years, Slack has cemented itself as a key tool for tens of thousands of companies. Employees use it to share messages and documents and it also plugs into a variety of other services popular in the modern workplace.
Not groundbreaking, you may think, but like all tech successes, the value is in the execution. Unlike so many tools used for workplace communication, Slack is a delight to use.
Investors are throwing money at it. Its most recent chunk of funding - $200m - valued the firm at $3.8bn. The enthusiasm for Slack is bucking the current trend of investors being far cagier about pushing money into new ideas. At a time when pursestrings are being tightened, venture capitalists are tipping briefcases of cash at Slack’s feet.
Tech talent season:
UK digital clusters mapped
Google: Don't let Brexit distract UK
How UK lost six potential tech titans
Has the UK got tech talent?
The company is spending it on growing - and fast. For the duration of their first week, new employees have a yellow emoji balloon tacked to their desks. On the day I visited their offices in San Francisco’s financial district, it was yellow balloons as far as they eye could see.
Such rapid growth in the UK would have been a big challenge.
“The appetite for risk is much lower,” Henderson says. “It’s harder to attract people to what seems like a risky job at a start-up.”
One of Henderson’s co-founders, Stewart Butterfield, is a Canadian educated in the UK. The pair have been through several endeavours, finding success but never quite in the way they intended.
Slack began its life as a quick-and-easy tool created so Butterfield, Henderson and the team could communicate with one and other while they built the real project, a game called Glitch.
When Glitch just wasn’t happening, they gave up. But kept working on Slack.
They’d previously worked together on another project, a online mulitplayer title called Game Neverending. Here too they created a tool to help with the game's development. Again, the game failed, but the tool remained - it became Flickr, a photo-sharing site eventually bought by Yahoo for $40m.
It’s this ability to snatch success from the jaws of failure that breeds great companies in Silicon Valley, Henderson says.
“One of the things that’s pretty obvious as a Brit when you move to California is that the isn’t a lot of cynicism here.
“The British attitude towards failure is ‘oh you’re going to fail, you may as well not try’.
“That just doesn’t exist here.”
On the wall in the SoftTech VC office is a poster celebrating the venture capital firm’s 10th anniversary. It’s covered with the logos of the companies in which SoftTech has invested millions. “Onwards and upwards,” reads a scribbled message next to the logo for fitness tracker firm FitBit.
Venture capital is the lifeblood of any start-up ecosystem, and there’s more of it here than anywhere else.
It’s a big gamble throwing money at ideas when you know most are destined to fail. And yet, just shy of $60bn was spent doing just that in the US last year.
Andy McCloughlin looks after $100m-worth of that kitty.
He’s been a partner at SoftTech VC since March 2015. His job is to whittle through the pitches from eager entrepreneurs at a rate of about 10 a week, settling on a privileged few who’ll get what they call “early stage” funding. The idea is to invest “just” a few million for a small stake in a company that might hit the big time. More often than not, they don’t - but the ones that do soar and make it worth it.
That balance of risk to reward puts off British money, McLoughlin tells me.
“[Silicon Valley] is just this magical place where people have made money and rather than disappearing into the Cotswolds like perhaps people used to do in the UK, they’re staying very active in the ecosystem and putting that money back in.
“Success begets success, and we just see this continuous virtuous cycle.”
McLouglin’s route to Silicon Valley is also a troubling indicator for the UK tech industry. He co-founded Huddle, a workplace document-sharing and collaboration business, in 2006. When the time came to raise serious money, he felt he had no choice but to relocate to San Francisco (though the company still has a significant presence in London).
“I think we realised that if [Huddle] was going to be a world class technology company, the chances of getting there were going to be much higher here,” he says.
“The US venture capitalists were prepared to move faster, were prepared to take bigger bets.”
Although it has grown rapidly in recent years, the purse for investing in UK technology companies is tiny. In 2015 US companies had access to $60bn, in the UK companies shared just $3.6bn.
To put that into some context, the ride-sharing app Uber last year attracted more investment than the entire UK technology industry combined.
That shortage of funds appears to be limiting the potential for billion-dollar ideas to take off. But it also hurts smaller, niche apps that require investors to be a little more gung-ho.
Her is a dating app aimed at gay women and bisexuals, and launched by Robyn Exton in the UK in 2013. Over the course of the first year, Exton managed to raise $1m. But she needed more.
“When I was raising in Europe it took me about eight months to raise a million dollars,” she says.
“When I came over here, it took me six days. It’s unbelievable the pace that people will move at here.”
She says she encountered far fewer restrictions and bureaucracy in getting hold of the money. She says that she wasted months negotiating terms of investment and funding in Europe - time that could have been better spent working on the company.
“Over here,” she says. “You get a piece of paper signed and money gets transferred within two hours.”
The success of Silicon Valley is built on decades of history. Early military investment followed by innovation brought swathes of money to the region.
While British entrepreneurs in the Valley seem essentially united in their bleak assessments of opportunity in the UK, they also believe great things will eventually emerge - so long as the UK plays to its strengths.
“I think there are some great funds operating out of London,” says Exton.
“And I think as they continue to grow the tech scene there I think it will get stronger and stronger.”
London in particular has a huge advantage that even San Francisco can’t emulate. In the emerging world of Fintech - financial technology - only London offers that blend of having all the key players in close proximity.
Unlike in the US, where the techies are in Silicon Valley, the banks are in New York, and the policymakers are in Washington DC, in London, all the key components are right on top of each other.
Over time, suggests Cal Henderson from Slack, London’s strengths will begin to bear fruit, so long as people have patience.
“I think the biggest thing that would need to change to create the next Google is to accept that you’ll need to create 10,000 not-Googles first.
“There’s going to need to be a lot of failure before you’ll see success.”

Sixty elephants were "butchered" in November and December, compared with only two in October, Mr Nyalandu added.
The security forces adopted a shoot-to-kill policy against poachers when the operation was in force in October.
The government suspended it after an inquiry reported human rights abuses.
"The anti-poaching operation had good intentions, but the reported murders, rapes and brutality are totally unacceptable," Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying earlier this month.
The inquiry, carried out by MPs, found that 13 civilians were killed and more than 1,000 people arrested during the month-long crackdown, codenamed "Operation Terminate".
The findings led to President Jakaya Kikwete sacking Defence Minister Shamsi Vuai Nahodha, Home Affairs Minister Emmanuel Nchimbi, Tourism and Natural Resources Minister Khamis Kagasheki and Livestock Development Minister David Mathayo.
Mr Nyalandu said that, with the operation suspended, the government would appeal to foreign donors to help strengthen Tanzania's wildlife department and ranger service.
"Those to be approached include the European Union and Asian countries. Asian countries are reportedly the main consumers of elephant tusks and by-products," he said.
There is huge demand for elephant tusks in many Asian countries, where they are used to make ornaments.
In October, Ivorian football star Yaya Toure joined a UN campaign against poaching, warning the slaughter of elephants threatened their existence in Africa.
The 31-year-old half-back joined Widnes until the end of the season after being told he did not feature in Tigers' plans for the rest of 2017.
The former England playmaker was dropped at Cas for three games in March after an "internal investigation".
Chase has swapped table toppers Castleford for bottom-of-the-table Widnes, who have won twice in 13 games.
"It is a great signing for us and I'm excited we've managed to pick up someone of Rangi's quality to come into the side," Betts told BBC Radio Merseyside.
"I know he's excited about playing as he wants to be playing regularly - he wants to start games and play 80 minutes.
"He comes here, he's got a clean slate and he wants to go again.
"He's up for the challenge as he knows we've got our backs against the wall, he knows the situation and he's been told that. He's up for the fight which was really exciting."
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, California-based tycoon Michael Birch said he felt a "need" to transform Woolsery, where his ancestors have lived since 1700.
He has bought properties including the village pub, an old hotel and the fish and chip shop over the past two years.
Residents have welcomed his support.
Updates on the Bebo founder's investment and other stories
"It was in the saddest state I'd seen the village in my memory," he told the BBC.
"The pub had been closed for a number of years, the manor house had been closed a lot longer... it was knowing that I could do it [help] and knowing that I needed to do it."
Mr Birch has a net worth of $390m (£303m). He and his wife, Xochi Birch, sold Bebo to AOL in March 2008 for $850m.
The 46-year-old said his ancestors had lived in the village since 1700 and he had spent "all his summers" in the area as a child.
"I love living in America and I love coming here... it's a great escape.
"I like bringing my children here and sharing that with them."
Local resident Sonia Hamilton said people were being put off from moving to Woolsery because of the dilapidated buildings.
"The pub looked awful, the manor was boarded up... with Michael coming in and renovating both buildings, it's had a feel-good factor in the village."
Robin Edmonds, from Woolsery parish council, said: "It's as good as winning the lottery because there's no way that the parish council and local residents could have come together with enough money to make a go of the pub."
A lone gunman opened fire before being killed as he fled the scene, police say. The Champs-Elysees was sealed off.
President Francois Hollande said that he was convinced the attack was "terrorist-related".
So-called Islamic State (IS) said that one of its "fighters" had carried out the attack.
Islamist militancy is a major issue in the polls after recent mass attacks claimed by IS, with 238 people killed in jihadist attacks in France since 2015, according to data from AFP news agency.
Several candidates in Sunday's presidential election have ended their campaigns early as a mark of respect, with the centre-right's François Fillon calling on others to halt theirs too.
"On the face of it, the officers were deliberately targeted," Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said.
Mr Hollande said after crisis talks with his prime minister and interior minister that the security forces had the full support of the nation and a national tribute would be paid to the fallen policeman.
He said he would hold a meeting of his security cabinet on Friday morning.
Because of its worldwide renown and its large number of visitors, the Champs-Elysees has long been seen as a potential target, the BBC's Hugh Schofield reports from the French capital.
A car pulled up alongside a police bus just before 21:00 (19:00 GMT) and a man got out, opening fire with an automatic weapon at the bus, Mr Brandet said.
After killing an officer, he attempted to run away while shooting at other officers, two of whom he injured, the spokesman added.
He was then shot dead by security forces.
Paris prosecutor Francois Molins later said that "the attacker's identity is known and has been verified".
"I won't reveal it, because investigations and raids are already under way, in particular to establish whether there is any evidence or not of complicity (in this attack)."
Meanwhile, IS identified the attacker as Abu-Yusuf al-Baljiki, in a statement carried by its Amaq news outlet.
The whole of the Champs-Elysees was evacuated and police vehicles were lined up near a point half way up the avenue around the George V metro station, our correspondent says.
Shots were heard near the Marks & Spencer store, provoking a panicked rush away from the scene by tourists and passers-by.
Witnesses interviewed by AFP recounted scenes of panic as people ran for cover and sought shelter.
"We had to hide our customers in the basement," said Choukri Chouanine, manager of a restaurant near the site of the shooting.
Thousands of troops and police guard tourist areas of the French capital. In February, a man armed with a machete in each hand was wounded after attacking soldiers on patrol at the Louvre Museum.
The following month, a 39-year-old man was killed at Orly airport after attacking a soldier.
The 11 candidates standing in Sunday's closely fought election were engaged in a final joint TV appearance to make their pitches as the attack happened.
Marine Le Pen, of the far-right national Front, tweeted:"I feel for and stand by our security forces, who have been targeted again."
Mr Fillon went on Twitter to pay "tribute to the security forces who give their lives to protect ours".
Both Ms Le Pen and Mr Fillon later announced they were cancelling campaign events scheduled for Friday, the last day of canvassing for votes.
Independent centrist Emmanuel Macron said during his TV appearance that it was a president's "first duty to protect" and he expressed his "solidarity" with the police.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, standing for the far left, tweeted: "I strongly feel for the policemen killed and wounded and their families. Terrorist attacks will never go unpunished, accomplices never forgotten."
French candidates in last TV pitch ahead of vote
At the White House, US President Donald Trump said people had to be strong and vigilant.
"Our condolences from our country to the people of France," he said. "It looks like another terrorist attack and... what can you say? It just never ends."
Ben Walker collapsed while playing for Thrapston Town Juniors on Friday.
His club said he died doing the thing he loved. Flowers and football shirts have been left by friends at the club on Chancery Lane.
Nick Price, from the club, said the boy's death had affected everyone but had also brought the community together.
"Bringing the town together as a community is great but it goes wider than that to schools, the people themselves and football clubs around here, who have held a minute's silence in tribute for him.
"It's hit so many people really, really badly," he added.
Nye Frankie Newman, from Guildford in Surrey, died on 1 January, his parkour group said.
The 17-year-old was a keen participant of the sport, in which people climb and jump over obstacles and buildings.
Luke Stones, a fellow member of the Brewman parkour group, rejected suggestions Mr Newman had been "train-surfing" at the time of his death.
The cause of Mr Newman's death is not yet known.
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We are providing support to the family of a British national following their death in France."
Mr Stones described Mr Newman as "an incredible human being who was always up for anything" and "experienced things in his short life that many won't experience in their lifetimes".
He said his friend always gave a "positive outlook to any situation" and "inspired so many people through his enthusiastic lifestyle".
Photos posted on social media showed Mr Newman leaping between buildings in Hong Kong and somersaulting on the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
Joe Groombridge, from Aldershot, wrote on Facebook: "Devastated to hear this. Had the pleasure of knowing Nye Frankie Newman for a number of years and from a young age he was always wild and eccentric with so much to give.
"Stories I've heard of his travels tell me he lived his life in the exact same way inspiring people across the world doing what he loved most. Taken too soon, RIP."
James Dickson wrote: "Such an inspirational guy has just lost his life, it's such a shock and just shows us that life is delicate, Nye lived his life to the fullest and will be missed by many, rest in peace man."
On New Year's Eve, Mr Newman posted on Facebook: "2016: Greece, Morocco, Spain, France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Northern Ireland, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Finland, China, the Philippines, Hong Kong and the Netherlands.
"It's been a hectic year full of lots of mental memories."
An event is being organised in his memory in Guildford in March.
The constables were on patrol on Kenton Road, Harrow, at about 13:30 BST when they were called over by a driver who was carrying a passenger in labour.
They assisted the woman with the birth and baby Alex was born into a police fleece.
Police tweeted to say it was "a special Easter delivery". Mother and baby were later taken to hospital by ambulance.
"We send all good wishes to baby Alex and family," the Metropolitan Police said.

Kim Jong-nam died in mysterious circumstances last week at a Kuala Lumpur airport - police believe he was poisoned while waiting for a flight.
Malaysian police say they are now looking for four North Koreans.
Pyongyang's envoy to Malaysia was also summoned over earlier comments he made.
Last week Kang Chol accused Kuala Lumpur of colluding with "hostile forces" and said that Malaysia had "something to conceal", allegations that provoked an angry response from Malaysian authorities.
Despite widespread speculation that North Korea was behind the killing, there has been no definitive evidence and Pyongyang has made no public comment on the issue so far.
So far Malaysian police have detained one North Korean suspect, Ri Jong-chol, and said they are looking for four more men, who may have already left the country. Two women, an Indonesian and a Vietnamese, have also been arrested.
Malaysia was one of very few countries to maintain diplomatic relations with North Korea, but this killing has strained ties.
Over the last week Malaysia has refused to accede to North Korean demands to release Mr Kim's body into their custody without an autopsy.

Wenger, 66, celebrates 20 years as Arsenal boss next month and is out of contract in the summer of 2017.
According to L'Equipe, PSG tried to recruit him in 2011, 2013 and 2014.
Asked why he had turned PSG down, Wenger said: "I always remained loyal to Arsenal because it's a club that has the qualities I love - and that's why."
Arsenal have won three league titles and six FA Cups during Wenger's reign.
However, they have not won the Premier League since 2003-04 and some fans have called for Wenger to leave.
PSG have been crowned French champions for the past four seasons and have reached the Champions League quarter-finals four times in a row.
Beaten in the last eight by Manchester City earlier this year, they are backed by wealthy owners Qatari Sports Investments, who Wenger says he "knows well".
The Frenchman added: "PSG are a good test for us. They're a team who are, in France, the team above everyone else."
Arsenal are seventh in the Premier League, with seven points from four games. PSG are seventh in Ligue 1, with seven points from four games.

The 24-year-old Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder denies wounding with intent outside Atik nightclub in Windsor in the early hours of 25 December in 2015.
Reading Crown Court heard doorman Gregor Jurcic, 27, suffered a "nasty" head injury and was left with scarring.
Mr Ince denies being the person who used a bottle to attack Mr Jurcic, who was helping police control crowds.
Up to 500 people had gathered outside the nightclub, on Victoria Street, between 03:30 and 04:00 GMT that Christmas morning.
Prosecuting, Nigel Daly said: "There was trouble brewing. The police were in attendance but they were grossly outnumbered."
Security staff from the nightclub, including Mr Jurcic, were helping officers control the crowds.
Michael Zgorzalek, another member of the security team, saw a black man run towards Mr Jurcic and attack him, the court heard.
"He saw this man jump up into the air and bring the bottle down on to his head. Having done that, Mr Ince began to run from the scene," Mr Daly said.
Mr Jurcic's blood was found on Mr Ince's jacket and CCTV footage showed a bottle coming away from the footballer as he was tackled to the ground, the jury heard.
In a police interview, Mr Ince said he had punched a man who had attacked his brother, then started to run away.
"He said he had never had a bottle in his hand," Mr Daly told the court.
Mr Ince, who is currently on loan at Swindon Town, denies a single charge of wounding with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm.
The trial continues.

The defender, who has won 78 caps, was cleared at Westminster Magistrates' Court in July of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League game.
But the Chelsea star, 31, still faces a Football Association disciplinary hearing over the matter on Monday.
Terry said the FA's decision to pursue charges against him meant his position with England had become "untenable"
Date of birth: 7 December 1980
3 June 2003: First England cap as a substitute against Serbia and Montenegro
15 August 2004: Replaces Marcel Desailly as Chelsea skipper
19 August 2006: Takes over from David Beckham as England skipper on a permanent basis
5 February 2010: Stripped of England captaincy following a meeting with Fabio Capello
19 March 2011: Restored in the job by Capello
21 December 2011: Crown Prosecution Service announce Terry will be charged with racially abusing Ferdinand
13 July 2012: Cleared in court
23 September 2012: Announces his retirement from England duty after 78 caps
Terry was cleared of abusing Ferdinand following the culmination of his trial on 13 July but was subsequently charged by the FA two weeks later for using alleged "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour" towards the QPR defender during October's game at Loftus Road.
The court heard accusations Terry had insulted Ferdinand, describing him as "black" and using extreme sexual swear words.
The prosecution had to prove beyond reasonable doubt Terry had used the words in an insulting manner, which it could not.
However, the FA, whose charge includes an alleged "reference to the ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race of Ferdinand", only has to prove its case "on the balance of probabilities".
The defender telephoned England manager Roy Hodgson to inform him of his decision before he released his statement on Sunday evening.
The FA said they would not be commenting on Terry's retirement.
Terry, who had two separate stints as England captain, played in the 5-0 World Cup qualifier victory over Moldova on 7 September. He made his debut in a 2-1 friendly victory over Serbia and Montenegro in 2003.
Terry was appointed as David Beckham's successor as England skipper in 2006 but was stripped of the position in 2010 following allegations he had an affair with then England team-mate Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend.
"John Terry will have been advised by his lawyers that he stands very little chance of winning this case, regardless of him being cleared by a criminal court in July. If found guilty, he will face a lengthy ban, and Roy Hodgson would have come under huge pressure to drop him from England. It is this which has proved decisive in ending one of the more remarkable England playing careers. The FA could and should have reached this point in an increasingly acrimonious saga sooner, but after being told by MPs last week they needed to do more to fight racism in the sport, it's clear they had little choice but to charge Terry. He believes the governing body has a vendetta against him, but it's hard to see what choice they had."
He was re-appointed in March 2011, but the FA relieved him of the role again in February, a decision which precipitated the departure of manager Fabio Capello.
In a statement, Terry said: "I am today announcing my retirement from international football.
"Representing and captaining my country is what I dreamed of as a boy and it has been a truly great honour. I have always given my all and it breaks my heart to make this decision. I want to wish Roy and the team every success for the future.
"I am making this statement today in advance of the hearing of the FA disciplinary charge because I feel the FA, in pursuing charges against me where I have already been cleared in a court of law, have made my position with the national team untenable.
"I now look forward to playing for Chelsea and challenging for domestic and European honours, and I want to thank the fans and the club for their continued support.
"I would like to thank the England managers who have selected me for my 78 caps. I have had great pleasure in sharing that honour with all the players that I've played with.
"I would like to thank them, the fans and my family for their support and encouragement during my international career."
England face a pair of World Cup qualifiers next month. First they welcome San Marino to Wembley on 12 October and then, four days later, meet Poland in Warsaw.

It was 7 August 2015 and all was right in Chelsea and Mourinho's world. They were favourites to retain their crown and he spoke about building a team that would give Chelsea a 10-year dynasty.
Now 'The Special One' has been sacked by Blues owner Roman Abramovich for a second time after the most spectacular, unexpected decline suffered by any Premier League champions.
So how did it all go wrong for Mourinho in a matter of months?
Media playback is not supported on this device
Chelsea secured the 2014-15 title with victory over Crystal Palace and with three games to spare.
They were in control of the race from almost the first kick and the eventual margin of triumph was a comfortable eight points from deposed champions Manchester City with only three defeats all season.
Did this margin lead to fatal complacency, not only within Chelsea's boardroom but from Mourinho himself?
Did Chelsea make the same mistakes as Manchester City after winning the Premier League in 2012 when they failed to strengthen their squad sufficiently, bringing in low-key signings such as Brazilian veteran Maicon, Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell and Javi Garcia? The title was lost to Manchester United in Sir Alex Ferguson's final season.
And did Mourinho and his paymasters fail to heed the warning signs that their rivals - especially City - would be wounded and react in a manner that meant Chelsea needed to build instantly from that position of strength?
City's response to losing the title was to bring in stellar signings, such as £49m Raheem Sterling from Liverpool, £55m Kevin de Bruyne from Wolfsburg and £32m defender Nicolas Otamendi from Valencia.
Chelsea were linked with the likes of Juventus' Paul Pogba and Real Madrid's outstanding young defender Raphael Varane. They did not arrive - City's ruthless ambition left Mourinho standing.
Instead, the pursuit of Everton's England international John Stones became lengthy, acrimonious and eventually doomed as the Merseysiders stood firm - even in the face of a transfer request from the 21-year-old defender.
Pedro did arrive from Barcelona for £21m and left-back Baba Rahman from Augsburg for £21.7m but otherwise - apart from £8m spent on Stoke City keeper Asmir Begovic to replace the departed Petr Cech - it was unimpressive.
Mourinho's squad was fleshed out but not strengthened.
Papy Djilobodji came from Nantes for £4m and Reading's Michael Hector for the same fee. Djilobodji was barely seen and Hector went straight back to the Championship club.
For all the criticism he has received, was Mourinho let down by Abramovich and Chelsea's hierarchy, who failed to deliver the signings, such as Stones, that the manager clearly wanted?
How much did he really want Rahman, hardly a priority at such a huge price with Cesar Azpilicueta doing such an outstanding job at left-back last season?
Rahman came to notice with Ghana under former Chelsea manager Avram Grant, someone who - rather mysteriously given his track record in football - has had the ear of Abramovich in the past.
Media playback is not supported on this device
And what of Djilobodji? He came from nowhere without serious pedigree and was a player Mourinho admitted was not his choice, though he did say: "It was the choice of someone I trust completely."
Not enough, though, to actually give him a run in the first team.
The loan signing of Radamel Falcao seemed almost an attempt to prove he could succeed where Manchester United and Louis van Gaal failed. He also failed - expensively.
Mourinho's other error came from an understandable desire to renew a Chelsea team he felt was jaded at the end of last season.
For a manager who prides himself on his teams making a fast start to the season, Mourinho's decision to move in a new direction with a shorter pre-season, giving his players a month's holiday and only three matches before the Community Shield loss to Arsenal, holed Chelsea's season below the waterline even before kick-off.
Chelsea did not win any of those pre-season games, which included a 4-2 defeat by New York Red Bulls.
They looked off the pace from the first kick against Swansea City in their opening game and momentum was never gained. Fatally.
Mourinho's hopes of a smooth transition into Chelsea's title defence were derailed from the opening game against Swansea City at Stamford Bridge and a disagreement with team doctor Eva Carneiro that has provided an acrimonious backdrop to the season.
He was furious that, with Chelsea already reduced to 10 men after keeper Thibaut Courtois was sent off, Carneiro and fellow medic Jon Fearn raced on to treat Eden Hazard even though the manager felt it was not required. It was a response that led to Mourinho, angry that his side were briefly reduced to nine men, accusing the medics of being "impulsive and naive".
Both had their positions downgraded but the row with Carneiro rumbled on, with Mourinho criticised by the medical profession, including the Football Medical Association (FMA), which represents medical staff in the sport.
Mourinho was cleared of making discriminatory comments to Carneiro but Football Association chairman Greg Dyke, in a letter to FA council members, said Chelsea's manager had "made a mistake" and should apologise.
As Chelsea and Mourinho's struggles continued - along with his brushes with authority - as did the Carneiro affair.
Carneiro's lawyers are suing Chelsea for constructive dismissal while Mourinho himself is the subject of an individual legal action.
The saga has been referred to on social media as "The Curse Of Eva Carneiro", reflecting on how Chelsea and Mourinho's fortunes plummeted from the moment he crossed swords with the former club doctor.
It set the tone for Mourinho constantly being at odds with authority, particularly when he was given a one-match stadium ban and a £40,000 fine for an expletive-filled rant at referee Jon Moss which led to him being sent off at half-time in the loss at West Ham in October.
Mourinho had an appeal against a £50,000 FA fine and a suspended one-match ban dismissed following his claims after the 3-1 home defeat by Southampton in early October that referees were afraid of giving Chelsea penalties.
Mourinho was locked on course for trouble from day one of the season and it played its part in his downfall.
Sadly, and this is said as someone who has always been an admirer of Mourinho's behaviour and the flourishes he has brought to Chelsea and the Premier League, his actions this season have not been befitting of the club or himself.

Mourinho's defiance had been one of his trademarks - but as the cracks have appeared in both his and his team's make-up this season he has crossed the border into desperation and delusion.
The first signs all was not well on the field with the champions came in the 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the second game of the season, when they were swept away at the Etihad.
Chelsea were so ill-at-ease Mourinho was forced to substitute the symbol of his methods and successes, captain John Terry, at half-time after he was cruelly exposed by City's pace - to no effect.
And in his post-match inquest, Mourinho chose to claim the result was "fake" and that his team deserved more. The remarks were met with utter bemusement as the only way in which the result was fake was that City would have won by more had it not been for Chelsea keeper Asmir Begovic.
It was perhaps a symptom of Mourinho's distraction that he repeated the trick after another comprehensive 3-1 defeat at Everton in September, claiming "the game was completely under control" even when Roberto Martinez's side were two up within 22 minutes.
If it was an act, it was an unconvincing one. If he fooled anyone it was only himself.
And for someone who gloried in describing Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as a "voyeur" for his perceived interest in Chelsea and a "specialist in failure", were the tables finally turned? Was Mourinho becoming over-interested in Wenger?
Did he suddenly see Arsenal as a potential threat again?
The pair's frosty relationship was on show in public when Arsenal beat Chelsea in the Community Shield and, again, with the coldest of handshakes before Mourinho's side won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in September.
In one of Mourinho's darkest moments, as he was sent off at half-time in the loss at West Ham, according to the referee Jon Moss's report: "At this point Mr Mourinho became very aggressive. He shouted that you [expletive] referees are weak… Wenger is right about you… you are [expletive] weak."
So had Wenger been playing on his mind?
Chelsea's title triumph last season was built on the reliable old cornerstones of Terry and Branislav Ivanovic in defence, protected by the midfield blanket provided by Nemanja Matic.
The key to success, however, was found in the brilliance of Belgium forward Hazard and the two summer 2014 signings that transformed Chelsea from Mourinho's first season back at Stamford Bridge, Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa.
The decline in performance of that 'Big Six' played a pivotal part in the slide that led to Mourinho's departure.
Father Time appears to have finally caught up with Terry, the former Mourinho "untouchable" who has been left out at stages this season, while Ivanovic's form has fallen off a cliff, despite the manager's continued faith.
Terry, embarrassed by his early substitution at Manchester City, suffered a similar humiliating fate in what proved to be the decisive loss at Leicester on Monday. It was almost a mercy replacement by Mourinho after the 35-year-old had been tormented by the speed and movement of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.
He had been at the heart of Chelsea's successes under Mourinho and to see him humbled and then taken off in such a fashion was symbolic of the wider crisis.
However, it is the failure of the other trio to produce that arguably had the biggest impact.
Hazard was world class in the title season, scoring 14 league goals and creating nine, while Fabregas was the creator supreme with 18 assists. Costa justified every penny of his £32m fee from Atletico Madrid with 20 league goals. Even defender Ivanovic scored four and had five assists.
Hazard's relationship with Mourinho has been the subject of much debate as he has struggled this season. Mourinho suggested Hazard more or less substituted himself at Leicester after the briefest attempt to run off an injury.
Costa has looked sluggish and occasionally overweight, struggling for goals and looking more in the mood for physical confrontation than tangible end product.
He even managed to embroil himself in a row with Mourinho, hurling a bib at his manager when it became clear he was only going to be an unused sub at Spurs in November.
The pair later laughed off the incident but it was the sort of open subordination that has rarely been seen during Mourinho's managerial career.
Fabregas' creative influence has been missed, but the signs were there from the second half of last season when the stats started to stack up against him. He played 18 of Chelsea's first 19 league games and created 13 goals - but in playing 16 out of the last 19 he assisted only five.
When the big players go missing, even a manager of Mourinho's calibre is struggling - and ultimately it was a fight he could not win.
Put together the crucial factors of complacency, the curse of Carneiro and big players going missing, and you concoct a recipe for trouble - and the evidence is most compelling in how Chelsea and Mourinho's infallibility at Stamford Bridge has been stripped away.
In 98 home Premier League games before this season, Mourinho had lost only once - to Sunderland on 19 April 2014. In the title-winning season of 2005-06, Mourinho's Chelsea won 18 games out of 19, a win percentage of 94.74%.
In the first eight home league games this season Chelsea lost four times - to Crystal Palace, Southampton, Liverpool and Premier League newcomers Bournemouth. The contrast was brutal as the Stamford Bridge fear factor evaporated.
Mourinho's successes have been built on that impregnability at home. Once that disappeared, along with poor form on Chelsea's travels, the rot had set in.
Mourinho came out all guns blazing at suggestions he suffers from third-season syndrome - and in his defence he won the FA Cup and League Cup in his third full campaign at Chelsea during his first spell.
What remains in question after his latest departure is whether Mourinho is ever a coach for the long term despite his talk of building for the next decade at Stamford Bridge and penning a new four-year contract at the start of the season.
Mourinho is the man for a quick, hugely successful fix but if a club is looking to build a dynasty then perhaps they should look elsewhere.
Would a manager with a more fixed long-term vision have shown more faith in Romelu Lukaku, still only 22 and sold to Everton for £28m in summer 2014? The young striker now looks what he was designed for when signed by Chelsea - a Didier Drogba in the making.
And there may well be questions about how De Bruyne developed so rapidly at Wolfsburg that the 24-year-old who left Chelsea for £18m in January 2014 ended up as a £55m signing for Manchester City in August 2015.
So is Mourinho simply a short-term strategist?
He lasted three full seasons in his first stint at Chelsea before his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich disintegrated and he was sacked with three years still left on his contract in September 2007.
Mourinho then had two seasons at Inter Milan, leaving - as he did at Porto in 2004 - after winning the Champions League, as well as Serie A for the second successive season and the Italian Cup.
He stayed three more seasons at Real Madrid, winning La Liga in 2011-12.
On 22 May 2012, Mourinho signed a new four-year contract at Real - on 20 May 2013 it was announced he was leaving.
Long-term contracts may be signed but it appears they do not mean longevity for Mourinho.
It seems absurd to be even debating the point about sacking one of the greatest coaches in world football just months after winning the Premier League - but it is symptomatic of modern football and the scale of Chelsea's fall from grace.
And for an owner accused of being trigger happy in the past, especially with the sacking of Carlo Ancelotti, all of Abramovich's instincts were to keep Mourinho and allow him to somehow dig himself out of the hole.
Ultimately, however, he had no choice as Mourinho's relationship with some players clearly became toxic and there was no sign of him being able to navigate a way out of a situation he had never been in before.
In cold terms, the decision is harsh but Abramovich gave Mourinho all the time he could as Champions League football next season - part of Chelsea's fabric - became a distant prospect.
Mourinho, as he turned on his players after the Leicester loss, suggested maybe it was his own brilliance that lifted Chelsea's players above their natural level to win the title last season. That level has dipped dramatically this season - so it can therefore be no surprise 'The Special One' has paid the price.
Vettel led for the first 35 laps only for his hopes be undone when Mercedes outflanked them on strategy.
He said: "We were a lot closer. Last year this was one of our worst circuits so there are plenty of positives.
"The team seems in good shape. We know we can up our game and we want to put pressure on these guys."
Vettel refused to blame Ferrari for their decision to stick with super-soft tyres at a re-start after the race was stopped following a massive crash involving McLaren's Fernando Alonso and Haas' Esteban Gutierrez.
That meant Vettel had to make a second pit stop, while Mercedes chose to switch to a one-stop strategy using the medium tyres.
That allowed Nico Rosberg to vault from second to first and Lewis Hamilton to move up from seventh to finish second.
Vettel said: "You can argue that the red flag didn't help us but equally, you know, one time it plays into your favour, the other time it catches you out a bit.
"We went the aggressive route - maybe with hindsight we could have done something else but I'm not willing to blame anything or anyone.
"We are a team, we win as a team and I think today we won 15 points."
Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene denied that the team's decisions had cost them the race.
He added: "You have to be a bit more aggressive and it could be right or it could be wrong.
"But at the end we were pushing like hell and Sebastian was to have a chance to be able to overtake Hamilton, which was in our strategy.
"If you want to look at the glass not half-empty, we were there, this is the news. Of course you can't be happy after this but this is racing."

Payne made 38 League Two appearances for Blackpool last season to help them earn promotion through the play-offs.
The 25-year-old joined Blackpool in July 2016, having previously had spells with Gillingham and Peterborough.
He is Ebbsfleet's second signing since being promoted from National League South in May, following the arrival of Whitehawk striker Danny Mills.
Meanwhile, Fleet skipper Danny Kedwell has agreed a new deal with the club for next season.
The 34-year-old, who scored 13 goals to help them to promotion last term, will continue to combine playing and his youth coaching role.
The annual rise in UK property prices accelerated to 8.4% in August, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The fastest growth was a 13.3% rise in the East of England, followed by rises of 12.2% in the South East of England and 12.1% in London.
The gap in prices between regions is widening, the data shows.
On a local level, the most expensive homes were found in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea, where the cost of an average house was £1.3m.
The cheapest areas to purchase a property were Burnley and Blaenau Gwent, where an average home cost £77,000.
Where can I afford to live?
The figures were published as the ONS announced that the cost of living rose by 1% in the year to September. The rate of inflation rose from 0.6% in August, which was the biggest month-on-month rise in the inflation rate in more than two years.
Property prices grew at a faster rate than general inflation in most areas of the UK.
The cost of the average UK home rose to £219,000 in August 2016 - a £17,000 rise from a year earlier.
Campbell Robb, chief executive of Shelter, said: "The idea of owning a home is still a complete fantasy for millions of families in this country.
"The new government's focus on tackling these problems is reassuring, but we hope there will be even more substantial commitments on building more genuinely affordable homes in the chancellor's Autumn Statement next month."
Property prices in August were typically at £236,000 in England, £145,000 in Wales, £145,000 in Scotland, and £123,000 in Northern Ireland.
Locally, prices rose fastest over the course of the year in the London borough of Newham, home to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, where prices increased by 23.7% to stand at £373,000.
The biggest fall was recorded in the city of Aberdeen, where the effect of the lower oil price on the community is likely to have been one factor in causing prices to drop by 8.7% to stand at £176,000.
The ONS house price figures are generally regarded as the most comprehensive but are published later than other surveys.
Recent surveys by mortgage lenders, the Halifax and Nationwide, suggested that annual increase in house prices had slowed in September compared with the previous month.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) has said that demand among home buyers has seen a modest recovery following "post-referendum jitters", having risen for the first time in seven months in September.
Dina Asher-Smith, Adam Gemili and James Dasaolu will also compete but Jessica Ennis-Hill, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Mo Farah will be absent.
The squad is a mix of athletes who have already qualified for the Olympics, and others still hoping to book a spot.
Farah, Johnson-Thompson and Ennis-Hill declined selection, to prepare for Rio.
The championships in Amsterdam will run from 6 to 10 July, with British Athletics naming its final squad for August's Olympics on 11 July.
Neil Black, the performance director for British Athletics, said: "With the European Championships and Olympic Games scheduled so close together you have to take a sensible approach to selection and look at what is best for each athlete as an individual.
"With a firm focus towards Rio, we have liaised with athletes selected for the Olympics, and their coaches, before making a decision on selection."

After Varndell crossed, Tusi Pisi was sent off for taking Warriors fly-half Jamie Shillcock out in the air.
Darren Barry's try put Warriors ahead for a short time but Varndell's second gave Bristol an 18-13 half-time lead.
Dean Hammond crossed as Worcester got within a point, but Varndell completed his hat-trick shortly after.
The win moves bottom-placed Bristol to within two points of fellow strugglers Worcester, who have lost their last five league matches in a row.
After back-to-back wins in the Challenge Cup for acting head coach Mark Tainton, this was Bristol's first victory in England's top flight since March 2009, following their promotion from the Championship last season.
In front of 16,552 - their biggest crowd of the campaign at Ashton Gate - Pisi's reckless tackle after 14 minutes caused Worcester fly-half Shillcock to be flipped in the air and land on his neck - a challenge which he was unable to return to the field from.
Varndell, who also secured a hat-trick last week against Pau, scored his tries from excellent support lines and is now only one behind the all-time record Premiership try scorer, ex-Sale wing Mark Cueto, on 89 tries.
Bristol acting head coach Mark Tainton:
"To go down to 14 men and show the character and resilience we did was fantastic.
"We are not going to get ahead of ourselves. We are still bottom of the Premiership, but we are a lot closer than we were to Worcester at three o'clock today.
"We hadn't built the game up to be the be-all and end-all, but players aren't silly. They understood what was at stake today. I am delighted with the way they responded.
"Tusi has chased the ball, his eyes are on the ball all the time, he has not got off the ground. Technically, he is below the player's hips, and he has a responsibility to bring the player down, so the referee has made that decision and we will abide by that."
Worcester head coach Carl Hogg:
"I am hugely frustrated. Losing Shillcock was pivotal for us. We lacked direction and shape.
"I didn't think we managed the game. We had plenty of ball, but we looked blunt in attack. When we have got ball in hand, we are normally a threat.
"We have obviously had a bumpy start to the season, but we have a number of significant players coming back who I think will be pivotal to the direction we take."

The CIPS/Markit composite purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 54.1, compared with 53.3 a month earlier - it's highest level in 46 months.
Any reading above 50 indicates growth while a reading below 50 points to a fall in activity.
Markit said the survey pointed to first-quarter economic growth of 0.3%.
That would match the eurozone growth figure for the final three months of 2014.
It said the improvement in business output was the result of growth in new orders that had increased at their fastest rate since 2011.
Employment also grew at its fastest rate since August 2011.
Job creation in the service sector "held steady" near February's four year high, Markit said, while in the manufacturing sector it grew at its quickest pace since April last year.
Crucially, the survey showed that deflationary pressures eased in March with prices falling at the slowest rate since July. Markit said this reflected the need for some firms to pass on costs to customers
It added there was some anecdotal evidence that the European Central Bank's (ECB) stimulus measures were beginning to be felt.
Manufacturing prices rose for the first time in seven months, albeit only modestly.
Meanwhile, in the service sector, prices fell, but the rate of decline was the weakest for nine months.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at survey compiler Markit, said the survey results indicated some impetus from the ECB's economic stimulus programme, which began at the start of the month, although it was coming "at a time when there was already growth".
He added: "All the indicators are pointing to a further upturn, firms are taking on staff and it augurs well for the year ahead."
Separate PMI surveys for Germany and France, the eurozone's two largest economies, were also released.
Business activity in Germany rose to to its highest level in eight months as new orders hit a nine-month record.
German factory output was its highest for nearly a year catching up with the strong pace of growth in the service sector, which hit a six-month high.
The French economy also saw business activity increase for a second month, although at a slightly more modest pace than in February, when it hit a 42-month high.
Business output in France is still running well below that of Germany. However, new orders were at their highest level sine August 2011.
But French manufacturing output fell for the tenth month in row.
Howard Archer chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight called the latest PMI "highly encouraging" adding the improvement in manufacturing activity was welcome.
"It is not just the headline figures that are encouraging but the whole tone of the surveys. Eurozone economic activity is strengthening as very low oil prices, a weak euro, major ECB stimulus and much reduced fiscal headwinds foster an improved growth environment," he added.
Coming on top of a 38-12 home defeat by Salford and the 40-0 loss at Leeds, Wire conceded another eight tries.
After first-half tries from Ollie Roberts, Jermaine McGillvary and Aaron Murphy, the Giants scored twice more within seven minutes of the restart through Paul Clough and Jordan Turner.
Jake Mamo crossed too before McGillvary and Murphy each added a second.
Mamo also had two tries chalked off, with Warrington's only response coming through a Tom Lineham try on 53 minutes.
Former Salford, Hull and St Helens utility back Turner scored on his debut as Huddersfield's third victory in five matches moved them within a point of Catalans Dragons, who they face next Saturday.
Turner, who joined from Canberra last week, was one of two changes, coupled with the key return from a two-match ban of half-back Brough, who kicked five goals.
Warrington have now failed to win any of their last four games - and last season's beaten Grand Finalists remain in danger of finishing in the bottom four.
This was Warrington's third game in nine days, while the Giants had enjoyed a nine-day gap since their last fixture.
The Rugby Football League allowed last Monday's game with St Helens to be postponed as it clashed with co-tenants Huddersfield Town's Championship play-off final at Wembley.
Warrington head coach Tony Smith:
On not using tiredness as an excuse: "Let's not start that debate. I don't want to go and make excuses. We had two matches last weekend. That was obvious.
"I said what I needed to say last week and the whys and what-fors but well done to Huddersfield. They were the better team and I would rather say that and congratulate them than take anything away from their performance.
"If you are a Warrington fan at the moment, it's tough to watch. It's tough to participate in as well. It's hurting the boys. We haven't really recovered since Magic Weekend and it's damaged our confidence."
Huddersfield coach Rick Stone:
"We probably played too many errors in the second half and played a bit like the Harlem Globetrotters at times which frustrated me a bit but it was good to see them enjoy going in front and going in for the kill a little bit.
"I know Warrington are down a little bit on troops and they are a bit banged up with the short turnaround but I suppose through this year we have had plenty of that ourselves so it's good to see us take advantage of an opportunity for a change.
"We probably just gave something back towards our home crowd. We haven't been good to them this year. We have disappointed them several times. Hopefully they walked away with a smile on their face."
Huddersfield: Mamo; McGillvary, Cudjoe, Turner, Murphy; Brough, Gaskell; Ikahihifo, Leeming, Rapira, Roberts, Ferguson, Hinchcliffe.

He already faces charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity, which he denies.
The ICC first indicted him in March 2009, but he has not been arrested.
A member of Mr Bashir's political party labelled the new warrant "ridiculous", but rebels in Sudan's western Darfur region hailed it as "a victory".
President Bashir is accused over the conflict in Darfur, where some 300,000 people are said to have died in seven years of fighting.
The ICC had initially declined to add genocide to the indictment but this has been overturned on appeal, with the judges finding "there are reasonable grounds to believe him responsible for three counts of genocide".
Pro-government Arab militias are accused of ethnic cleansing against civilians from the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa communities after rebels took up arms in Darfur in 2003.
Mr Bashir has denied that his government armed the militias, known as the Janjaweed.
Some 2.5 million people have been driven from their homes.
Sudan's leader has been unable to visit several countries for fear of being arrested since the first warrant was issued.
Many African and Arab countries have lobbied for the UN Security Council to postpone the prosecution, but this request has been rejected by countries such as the US and the UK.
Mr Bashir is accused of "genocide by killing, genocide by causing serious bodily or mental harm and genocide by deliberately inflicting on each target group conditions of life calculated to bring about the group's physical destruction", said a statement from the ICC.
"This second arrest warrant does not replace or revoke in any respect the first warrant of arrest," The Hague-based court said.
A senior member of the ruling National Congress Party, Rabie Abdelatie, called the move "ridiculous" and said the ICC was targeting not just Mr Bashir but the Sudanese people.
Sudanese Information Minister Kamal Obeid said in a statement: "The adding of the genocide accusation confirms that the ICC is a political court. The ICC decision is of no concern to us."
But Ahmad Hussein, a spokesman for Darfuri rebel group the Justice and Equality Movement, told AFP news agency the development was "a victory for the people of Darfur and the entire humanity".
Despite the charges against him, Mr Bashir was overwhelmingly re-elected as president in landmark elections in April.
The opposition, however, accused him and his supporters of rigging the poll and some major groups boycotted the elections.
Mr Bashir has always said the problems in Darfur were being exaggerated for political reasons.
According to the joint UN-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur, Unamid, 221 people were killed in Darfur in June.
This is a sharp fall since May, when some 600 people were killed - the deadliest month since January 2008, when the UN took joint control of the peace force.
Fighting intensified in May after the Justice and Equality Movement pulled out of peace talks.
It is 25 years since an Englishman won the top-flight title, when Howard Wilkinson led Leeds to the old First Division championship.
There are currently six English managers in the Premier League.
"I think in the past we've made mistakes and been labelled," McClaren, who won the Dutch league with FC Twente in 2009-10, told BBC Sport.
"I asked the Dutch coaches about the English and British coaches. They're not respected, have a bad image. They think we have an island mentality, we only know English and stick with that, we won't learn other languages.
"They feel we're rigid in our play, 4-4-2, not adaptable, not flexible, very direct.
"They only thing they really admired was our attitude and fight. But I think it takes more than that to win a championship."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has given his backing to English managers, suggesting it would not be another 25 years before one won the Premier League.
McClaren is less confident but does at least believe processes are now in place to help them develop.
"When you look now you can't see it happening for another 25 years, but I know what's going on behind the scenes," said McClaren.
"Coaching has become a bigger profession, more respected in this country. I think we are developing.
"Twenty-five years ago our players weren't very good technically or tactically, mentality-wise and physically we were very good.
"The players now are technically far better. Intelligence-wise, tactically, that's where they need to improve."
McClaren was assistant manager at Derby, Manchester United and England before being named Middlesbrough boss in 2001.
Over five years, he kept Boro in the Premier League, won the League Cup in 2004 and reached the final of the Uefa Cup in 2006 before replacing Sven-Goran Eriksson for an ill-fated stint as England boss, which ended with failure to reach Euro 2008.
"My breakthrough was winning that first trophy and going on from that," said McClaren.
"That's what's some English manager has to do, win an FA cup or a League Cup and therefore prove his worth. They also need to get a good agent to get in contact with these new foreign owners coming in.
"I can see English managers coming through. Whether or not they're given an opportunity is a different question."
Since the Premier League began in 1992-93, nine managers have won the title - Scots Alex Ferguson (13) and Kenny Dalglish (1), Frenchman Arsene Wenger (3), Portuguese Jose Mourinho (3), Chilean Manuel Pellegrini (1) and Italians Carlo Ancelotti (1), Roberto Mancini (1) and Claudio Ranieri (1).
Antonio Conte will become the fourth Italian to win the championship if Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Friday.
"Conte, Mourinho, Wenger are winners, they collect trophies and they're always going to do that," McClaren told BBC Radio 5 live.
"[But] I don't think Conte could have kept Sunderland up.
"I don't think he could have coached them the way he did and he would have [had] to adapt. "
The 20-year-old has made five appearances for the Lions this season without scoring.
"It's a great chance for me to prove myself and show the manager (Neil Harris) I'm capable of making even more appearances for Millwall," he said.
Philpot is expected to receive clearance to make his debut for the Ravens against Wrexham on Saturday.

Kasturi Munirathinam describes the moment of the attack - and calls for India to ban migration for work to Saudi Arabia.
"No-one should go to that place. They are torturing us," she said.
The case has raised wider concerns about the treatment of domestic workers in Saudi Arabia.
Newsnight asked the Saudi Arabian government for comment but they declined. A police spokesman disputed the account in October.

They threw smoke bombs and firecrackers on police, who responded with tear gas.
The bill aims to reduce the role of the Senate and cut powers of regional governments. Opponents say it will lead to an excessive concentration of power.
Mr Renzi has vowed to resign if he loses the 4 December vote.
He says the plan will streamline the Italian parliament, cut costs and give Italy more stable government.
But recent opinion polls suggest voters will reject it.
The young protesters were marching through the centre of Florence trying to reach a building where Mr Renzi's Democratic Party was holding its annual convention.
Demonstrators, some carrying banners reading "No to Renzi", tried to separate from the police in riot gear by dragging metal fences into the streets.
Reports said they were among a larger group of peaceful protesters against the referendum.
Florence's Mayor Dario Nardella condemned the protests, saying: "Demonstrating is a right, but the use of violence is despicable and unacceptable."
One officer was hurt in the leg during the clashes, Italian media said.
Blues are set to reveal their retained squad list in the week after Saturday's final game of the season.
"It's not an easy week but it's part of the moving forward process," 42-year-old Rowett told BBC WM 95.6.
"I've got to do it with a critical eye and a semi-ruthless mentality."
Rowett has seven players out of contract in the summer and must also make a decision on whether to agree deals for a number of loan players, including Derby defender Ryan Shotton.
"My job is to make the team better and garner some success," Rowett said. "Most of the decisions are pretty self-explanatory. The players that have been on loan with us for a vast period, they and us potentially see their future elsewhere.
"The players that are currently here and out of contract will be the first to know what decision we make."
Shotton, who has been with Blues since January, is one player who is giving Rowett food for thought.
"He's surprised me a little bit in some ways," Rowett said. "He's got a real desire to be a part of what we're doing and I genuinely believe he sees this a chance to kick-start his career.
"He needs to nail down that centre-half slot somewhere and we would have an interest in trying to keep him, but he's not our player and we don't know whether Derby see him in their plans or would want a huge fee for him."
Birmingham will secure a ninth-place finish in the Championship table if they can better Brentford's result at Huddersfield when they travel to Cardiff on Saturday.
First-time mother Kianga gave birth to the male ape at Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire on 9 February.
Keepers were concerned about its health to begin with as Kianga was not holding it properly to allow suckling.
But Cheka, a more experienced mother, noticed this and showed her how to feed the baby properly.
The newborn, which does not yet have a name, is said to be developing well.
Dr Charlotte Macdonald, director of life sciences at the zoo, said: "We were astonished to find out about the wonderful intervention by Cheka, as it is unique to observe such an important social teaching behaviour."
Cheka has reared several babies, with youngest, Ndeko, born at the zoo in August.
"It is very exciting to welcome a second baby to our bonobo group in such a short space of time," said Dr Macdonald.
Both births were part of a carefully planned European Endangered Species Programme, which ensures healthy genetic lines.
Dr Macdonald said managing the breeding of bonobos has to be carefully done because of their "promiscuous behaviour".
"Bonobos use sex as a communication tool, so it is not always used for reproduction, but also to establish social hierarchies, or to avoid potentially aggressive situations," she said.

The Cardiff hearing was told one worker was called "Eddie" because he looked like Hollywood actor Eddie Murphy.
Head of human resources at the factory Julie Hunter said it was "banter" but "nothing malicious".
Ms Hunter said the company "absolutely" took allegations of racism seriously.
But when managing director Steve Rosher was asked if banter could go too far, he replied: "I don't think banter can go too far, by its definition it is something you cannot take too far."
Another worker, Lee Hardy, told the hearing paedophile jokes were made because "Jimmy Savile was in court".
He added: "It was the general topic of the day in the newspapers and on social media, so everyone was talking about it at the time."
He also denied calling a colleague an "IRA terrorist".
The hearing continues.

Sgt Neil Johnston, of Police Scotland, said: "If you suspect an ATM has been interfered with, do not use it.
"If the cash machine is attached to a bank and the bank is open, then alert the staff who will check the machine." If not, police should be called.
Sgt Johnston added: "If you believe you may have used this ATM prior to Wednesday then check your bank account immediately and report any suspicious transactions you notice to police immediately."
A special prosecutor said there was evidence the Republican had broken the law by using a funding veto in a bid to force a local prosecutor to resign.
The potential presidential hopeful was investigated for cutting funds to a state anti-corruption unit run by District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg.
He becomes the state of Texas's first indicted governor in nearly a century.
Governor Perry, who has been in office since the year 2000, says he has violated no laws.
The 63-year-old faces two counts of abuse of power and coercion related to his decision to veto $7.5 million (£4.5 million) in funding for the Public Integrity Unit run by the office of the Travis County district attorney last year.
Governor Perry "with intent to harm another, to-wit, Rosemary Lehmberg and the Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney's Office, intentionally or knowingly misused government property," the indictment read.
Ms Lehmberg, a Democrat, had earlier pleaded guilty to drink driving charges, but had rejected Governor Perry's calls to resign.
"The veto in question was made in accordance with the veto authority afforded to every governor under the Texas Constitution," the governor's general counsel said after the announcement was made.

"We will continue to aggressively defend the governor's lawful and constitutional action, and believe we will ultimately prevail," Mary Anne Wiley added.
The special prosecutor, Michael McCrum, called up numerous witnesses to argue his case that the governor had broken the law.
Announcing his veto in 2013, Governor Perry said of the Public Integrity Unit: "I cannot in good conscience support continued state funding for an office with statewide jurisdiction at a time when the person charged with ultimate responsibility of that unit has lost the public's confidence."
The Texans for Public Justice, which filed a complaint in the case, said "the grand jury decided Perry's bullying crossed the line into law breaking".
Abuse of office can carry punishments of between five to 99 years in prison, while coercion of a public servant carries sentences ranging from two to 10 years.
Governor Perry is the longest-serving governor in the state's history.
His recent movements between key Republican battleground states is seen by analysts as laying the groundwork for a possible presidential run in 2016.
Mr Perry announced that he would retire from the Texas governor's office instead of seeking a fourth term in July 2013.
The 23-year-old was named in the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) League One team of the year.
Campaigner Leo Hardt said his inclusion sent out a "very troubling message".
Evans is to appeal after being found guilty of raping a 19-year-old woman in a hotel near Rhyl, Denbighshire.
He was jailed for five years at Caernarfon Crown Court earlier this month.
He was included in the PFA team as members had already cast their votes.
Last week PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor defended the decision, and said: "That was a football judgement by his fellow professionals, it was not a moral judgement and in no way does the PFA condone the offence for which he was convicted.
"If he had been removed from the team it would have created more of a storm and would have been manipulating the vote.
"Votes are cast on footballing ability, obviously everyone is quite disturbed about the conviction and whether that would have changed the vote we just don't know."
Mr Hardt, a school teacher, said the petition had received more than 5,000 signatures.
He said: "I started this campaign because my students see professional footballers as role models and take these awards, like this one from the PFA, as endorsements of their heroes.
"It's staggering that the PFA would chose to endorse a convicted rapist when there are many footballers who are better role models for our young people.
"I urge the PFA to remove him from the list immediately."
On the petition site, Mr Hardt wrote: "I feel that the PFA are sending out a very troubling message.
"As a professional body, they have a responsibility to ensure that the public see them upholding certain values about sports professionals.
"Sign this petition to convince them that honouring Ched Evans is tacitly condoning his behaviour."
North Wales Police investigating the alleged naming of the rape victim on Twitter last week bailed three men.
A log released by Minnesota authorities showed the 911 calls related to everything from medical emergencies to false fire alarms.
It included one call in 2011 in which an unidentified woman said she was concerned about Prince's cocaine use, but no police action was taken.
Prince's representatives have not commented on the claims.
The unnamed woman, from Germany, claimed Prince told her a year earlier that he had an uncontrollable cocaine habit and that she should advise the authorities.
It is unclear whether the woman personally knew Prince.
Other calls included reports about a woman having an allergic reaction, a fire alarm triggered by a fog machine, a trespasser banging a drum and a suspicious vehicle, which the responding officer "checked and it was Prince", according to the log.
There were also claims that Prince has at least one living son, although Prince has no known surviving children.
On the day Prince died, one woman called saying she had a 17-year-old son with Prince, and wanted him to attend the funeral.
Prince was found unresponsive in a lift at his Paisley Park complex - home to recording studios, a nightclub, rehearsal space, offices, and the singer's private residence - on 21 April.
A post-mortem examination last month discounted suicide, but a medical examiner said full results could take several weeks.
Investigators are looking into whether Prince died from an overdose and if a doctor was prescribing him drugs in the weeks before his death.
They are also trying to establish whether a doctor was on the singer's plane when it made an emergency landing less than a week before he died.
The musician was found unconscious on the plane after it stopped in Moline, Illinois, on 15 April, and detectives investigating his death have asked to see fire and ambulance records related to the emergency landing.
Staff working at the department's digital data and technology unit were told last week that some of their Twitter comments were "not compliant".
According to The Register, staff were warned to be "careful" and comply with civil service guidance on impartiality.
The US president is expected to make a state visit to the UK later this year.
Many MPs have been critical of the invitation extended by Downing Street so early in Mr Trump's presidency while Commons Speaker John Bercow has said he does not support the US president addressing Parliament during the occasion, citing his travel ban and comments he has made about women.
However, Prime Minister Theresa May - a former home secretary - has insisted that the visit is vital to cementing the long-standing special relationship between the two countries as the UK embarks on leaving the European Union.
In an e-mail obtained by The Register technology news website, and seen by the BBC, Home Office staff have been warned to "avoid commenting on politically controversial issues" in general and "giving personal opinions about the organisation".
They were reminded the Home Office's social media guidance had been updated and that they, as well as temporary employees and contractors, must observe the rules on not sharing information about the work of the department or saying they work for the Home Office on personal accounts.
It read: "A quick look through just a couple of known personal Twitter accounts of staff members shows that some are not compliant, stating that they work for the Home Office, posting HO work, whilst tweeting or retweeting negative posts about, for example, Donald Trump.
"We need to be careful here and ensure all our staff are following this guidance which reflects the Civil Service Code."
The Home Office told the Daily Telegraph that it did not comment on internal correspondence but a spokesman told the newspaper that all staff were expected to adhere to the values and standards of behaviour set out in the code.
"This includes the need for political impartiality and also applies to the use of social media," it added. "We recently updated our guidance on the use of social media by staff to make it clearer and easier to understand.
"This is in line with the Cabinet Office's guidelines and the changes have been communicated to all staff."
The Home Office employs more than 25,000 staff.
Social services documents requested by a family member from Wokingham Borough Council went missing after the delivery driver left them outside the requester's home in August 2013.
They included details of allegations of neglect and abuse carried out by the requester's ex-partner.
The council has agreed to take action.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which carried out the investigation, said the driver had not been told about the sensitivity of the information, or that the delivery required a signature or returning to the council if no-one was available.
The council had also failed to arrange a suitable delivery time with the requester, it added.
Stephen Eckersley, ICO's head of enforcement, said a "series of errors" by the council led to a social services record being delivered "with no consideration given to its content".
The council has agreed to ensure future deliveries containing sensitive personal information are carried out securely.
It said it would also make sure its staff receive regular training in data protection and information security.
At a meeting of finance ministers in Brussels, Germany's Wolfgang Schaeuble said a plan agreed by Greece's fragile coalition after days of talks was "not at a stage where it can be signed off".
The EU and IMF demanded stringent cuts in return for the bailout money.
Unions have already called a 48-hour strike in protest at the measures.
The BBC's Chris Morris, in Brussels, says European ministers want to see more evidence that the measures will actually be implemented.
There is also serious concern that the overall plan for Greece - involving the new bailout as well as an agreement for private banks to write off a substantial chunk of Greek debt - still doesn't do enough to put the country on a sustainable economic path, our correspondent says.
Luxembourg's Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the so-called eurogroup of finance ministers, also said he doubted whether the Greek plan was ready for approval.
"I do not have reasons to believe that there will be a definitive deal this evening," he told reporters as he arrived for the Brussels meeting.
But he hailed the progress Greece had made and said eurozone countries were likely to thrash out a deal with Athens by next week.
By Chris MorrisBBC News, Brussels
The pieces of an overall deal on Greece are beginning to fall into place. But the agreement between political parties in Athens is just one part of a complex set of negotiations involving the second financial bailout and a deal with private banks to write off 100bn euros of Greek debt.
Crucially the whole package has to satisfy the demand from creditors like the IMF that it will make Greek debt sustainable - and it's not clear that that point has yet been reached. So no-one will be signing any cheques straight away.
The question is who's going to pay. Eurozone countries like Germany believe they're contributing enough already. Private banks feel the same. Some have suggested that the European Central Bank could, under strict conditions, play a role. But there will be considerable argument over this complex choreography - not least because it involves vast amounts of money, and significant political risk.
Greece is trying to negotiate the bailout from the EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
It is the second such bailout, and lenders insisted on more austerity measures in return for the loan.
The mood among eurozone countries appears to be toughening on Greece, our correspondent says.
While the official view is still that Greece must be saved, he says there is more and more talk on the margins that a Greek default would not be a disaster.
The plan agreed by the Greek government includes 15,000 public-sector job cuts, liberalisation of labour laws, lowering the minimum wage by 22% and negotiating a debt write-off with banks.
But a key demand of the EU, IMF and European Central Bank was reform of the pension system, an issue that proved to be a stumbling block.
Prime Minister Lucas Papademos tried to convince his coalition partners to overhaul pensions and save 300m euros a year.
Talks broke up without an agreement, but officials later announced that a compromise had been reached. It was not clear how the 300m euro saving would be made.
The government needs the backing of the eurozone ministers and the approval of the Greek parliament before the deal can be finalised.
Neither Mr Juncker nor Mr Schaeuble detailed their doubts about the plan, but IMF officials had earlier hinted that it lacked any proposals for major institutional reform.
They were also seeking assurances that the agreed measures would not be affected by elections due in April.
Greece is already feeling the effects of an earlier round of austerity, put in place as part of a deal to release funds from a previous bailout.
Those cuts triggered widespread unrest and violent protests.
Greece is deep in recession with unemployment rising above 20%.
Unions have already said they will go out on strike over the latest austerity plans, condemning them as "painful measures" that would create misery.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama reaffirmed America's willingness to help stabilise the eurozone.
In a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, he also urged European countries to promote a strategy of growth.
There are four major islands, as well as many smaller ones, in the country: Grande Comore; Moheli; Anjouan; and Mayotte. Mayotte, however, voted against impendence and is still governed by France.
To add to the country's troubles, two of the four major islands, Anjouan and Moheli, declared unilateral independence in a violent conflict in 1997.
The descendants of Arab traders, Malay immigrants and African peoples contribute to the islands' complex ethnic mix.
Natural resources are in short supply and the islands' chief exports - vanilla, cloves and perfume essence - are prone to price fluctuations. Money sent home by Comorans living abroad is an important source of income.

President: Azali Assoumani
Former coup leader Azali Assoumani was declared winner of the May 2016 presidential election after violence and vote irregularities forced a partial re-run of the poll.
He succeeds outgoing President Ikililou Dhoinine after narrowly beating ruling party candidate Vice-President Mohamed Ali Soilihi by 41% of the vote to 39%.
A former army officer, Mr Assoumani first came to power in 1999, after ousting acting president Tadjiddine Ben Said Massonde in a military coup.
He won the election three years later, stepping down in 2006 at the end of his term to democratically hand over power to Ahmed Abdallah Sambi.
The presidency of the union rotates between three islands.
The Comoros authorities have a tight hold on the media in the country. Journalists risk arrest and detention, and newspapers have been suspended and radio stations put off the air over reports deemed offensive to the government.
Radio is the dominant medium. The national state-run network competes with regional services and private stations. There are also private newspaper papers. Most publish weekly; a feeble advertising market, poverty and poor distribution inhibit circulation.
Some key dates in the history of the Comoros:
1886 - Comoros become a French protectorate.
1974 - Three of the islands making up the Comoros vote for independence, but a fourth island, Mayotte, votes to stay with France. A year later, Comoros unilaterally declares independence, with Ahmed Abdallah as president. The same year, however, Abdallah is overthrown, ushering in decades of political unrest punctuated by coups.
1997 - The islands of Anjouan and Moheli declare independence from the Comoros. Troops from the island of Grande Comore land in Anjouan to try to prevent its secession, but are routed. The conflict lasts until 2001 when voters agree on a new constitution that will keep the three islands as one country, but will grant each greater autonomy. Tensions linger, however.
2003 - Leaders of semi-autonomous islands reach a power-sharing deal, paving the way for elections
2007 - The African Union sends troops to help keep the peace in June's elections after Anjouan president Mohamed Bacar refuses to stand down. The crisis escalates when Anjouan holds local elections in defiance of the federal government and the African Union. Mohamed Bacar is inaugurated as Anjouan's president. The African Union starts a navy blockade around the island. The following year, the separatists are defeated.
2009 - The island of Mayotte votes to fully integrate with France. The Comoros government, which lays claim to the island, terms the referendum null and void.
2009 - Yemenia Airways plane crashes off Comoros, killing all but one of 153 people on board. Comoran expatriates demonstrate in France after suggestions plane may have been faulty.
2013 - Comoros comes out on top in a survey of women's rights in 21 Arab League states. The poll by the Thomson Reuters Foundation surveyed 336 gender experts. | Arsene Wenger says his "love" for Arsenal saw him reject approaches from Paris St-Germain, who host the Gunners in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Cycling's governing body missed the 28 July deadline and only sent its application to the International Paralympic Committee last week.
"[It] sums up how high we appear on the UCI radar. Not surprised at all," tweeted British rider Jody Cundy.
The IPC has announced 16 of the maximum of 23 sports for the 2020 Paralympics.
Para-badminton has been included and will makes its Games debut in Japan.
The other sports included are athletics, archery, boccia, equestrian, goalball, powerlifting, rowing, shooting, sitting volleyball, swimming, table tennis, triathlon, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair tennis.
Para-cycling is one of eight sports left chasing up to seven places with the final line-up to be confirmed early next year.
All of the 24 sports seeking to be part of the Tokyo programme had been required to submit their application for assessment by the IPC's management team by 28 July.
They include the 20 sports which took part in London, Para-canoeing and Para-triathlon, which will make their debuts in Rio in 2016, as well as Para-badminton and Para-taekwondo, who were bidding to be included for the first time,
Their recommendations were discussed by the IPC Governing Board on Tuesday at a meeting in Berlin.
Cycling's late application meant it could not be assessed in time for the meeting in Berlin, to the disappointment of the the IPC and the frustration of the riders.
"How as riders can we have faith in the UCI, when they can't even submit an application to be in the Tokyo Paralympics on time," added Cundy.
The remaining eight sports will now have to present additional information to the IPC addressing the issues identified in their applications and a further meeting will be held in Abu Dhabi on 30 January and 1 February.
"Our aim is to ensure that the final Tokyo 2020 Paralympic sports programme is fresh and features the best Para-sports possible," said IPC president Sir Philip Craven.
"Although we can have a maximum of 23 sports in six years' time, we have an option to reduce the number of sports in order to ensure we have a compelling and attractive Para-sports programme."
In a statement, the UCI say they will work closely with the IPC ahead of the meeting in Abu Dhabi
It went on: "The UCI remains fully committed to the promotion of para-cycling and looks forward to a positive dialogue with the IPC over the next few months to ensure that cycling continues to play its part in helping the Paralympic Games go from strength to strength."
The Tokyo Games will be held from from 25 August to 6 September 2020.
Great Britain has been one of the most successful Para-cycling nations since the sport made its Games debut in Seoul in 1988.
They topped the sport's medal table in Beijing in 2008 and also at London 2012 where they won 22 medals, including eight golds, in front of huge crowds at the Velodrome and Brands Hatch, where the road events took place.
The team's success continued this year with 18 medals, including 10 golds, in this year's Road and Track World Championships with Dame Sarah Storey winning gold medals at both events to follow up her four Paralympic golds in London.
A British Cycling spokesperson said: "It is disappointing news but Para-cycling was one of the big successes of London 2012 and we are confident the UCI and the IPC will act to ensure the sport retains its place on the Paralympic programme."
Parents of pupils at Horsforth School in Leeds have called the trip "disgraceful", "disgusting" and "appalling" on Facebook.
The school, an academy, has had sports trips to Italy and Spain in previous years.
HR director Lauren Robinson said the school wished to reiterate that it was not a compulsory trip.
A letter sent from the school's PE department said that children from years 8, 9 and 10 could stay for seven nights half-board at the Butterfly Beach Hotel in the south of the island.
Pupils from the football, netball and girls' football teams would play in three fixtures with local teams.
They would be given "traditional evening entertainment", a catamaran cruise, the option of going to a water park, and a special sports tour kit, the letter said.
Ms Robinson said the school's decision to offer the trip - an alternative destination to Italy and Spain - had been "driven partly by student views and partly by some shortcomings with the current arrangements".
The school said: "The cost of the Barbados trip is high but is balanced by a much larger number of more affordable events, from residential exchanges and study visits to single day trips and school-based events.
A parent on Facebook wrote: "Just wondering what people's thoughts are on Horsforth School deciding to do their sports tour to Barbados next year at a cost of £1650 per child?
"Personally I'm appalled and think it's really unfair to put this pressure on parents of either finding that sort of money or saying no to their child."
Linsi Tidswell said: "I've got two children and two step-children and I can't afford to spend that sort of money on four children - it's not fair to do for one what we can't do for the others.
"It's making a divide between parents that can afford it and parents that can't afford it. To me the school is excellent but it should be promoting equal opportunities for all children."
For Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC, a lot is riding on its appeal.
The new HTC One, shown exclusively to the BBC at the company's headquarters in Taiwan's capital Taipei weeks before its official launch, differs starkly from HTC's previous phones - and from many other smartphones currently on the market.
Like the iPhone 5, it has a unibody made out of metal.
"It's just like your watch - you don't need a plastic watch," says Thomas Chien, one of HTC's vice-presidents of design, as he caresses the aluminium body of the handset.
But the HTC One is launching into an utterly crowded market, dominated by Samsung with its Galaxy S3 and Apple with its iPhone 5.
Fighting for the number three spot is a gaggle of players, from Blackberry and Nokia to LG and HTC. Snapping on their heels are new players from China like Huawei and ZTE.
It's in stark contrast to just a few years ago, when HTC looked like the only plausible challenger to Apple and its iPhone.
For its fightback, HTC has packed its new Android-based smartphone with innovations that the company says create a "totally new experience".
"We think it's the first time we came up with a design not just from the hardware side - it's kind of a new experience from outside and inside," says Mr Chien, sitting in an open-plan office on the 15th floor of HTC's headquarters.
He takes me to a large table littered with mobile phones of all shapes and colours, next to paper sketches of early designs for the HTC One.
Mr Chien picks up a slab of solid aluminium: "That's how it all starts." The metal is ground, cut, pierced, polished, and then packed with electronics and finished off with a 4.7in (12cm) display, offering an industry-leading 468 pixels per inch (ppi).
Most people can't see the difference in quality beyond 300ppi but Mr Chien says the pixel density is still important, because it can display much finer detail.
"We always push boundaries. You never really define that something is enough for humans," he says.
HTC also hopes to make a difference with features like BlinkFeed, a live stream of personalised content that shows up on the phone's home screen when it is switched on; the so-called Living Gallery that merges stills and video; dual front-facing speakers promising, says HTC, a better music experience.
Innovation, however, does not guarantee success. HTC's previous flagship phone, the HTC One X, was praised by the tech-savvy. A reviewer at hip technology website The Verge called it "one of the best mobile devices I've ever used".
Tech blog Engadget described the One X as "a masterpiece", while Pocket-lint accorded it the same score as Samsung's top-selling Galaxy S3.
Yet, despite all the features and praise, it was Samsung's Android phone that snatched the crown as the world's top-selling smartphone, followed by Apple's iPhone 4S.
The HTC One X struggled and company profits plummeted - in the last quarter of 2012, down a massive 91% on the previous year.
So what went wrong?
Lu Chun-kuan, a senior research analyst at Gartner Taiwan, points to fierce competition in the smartphone market.
"It's getting more and more difficult - it's not only the competition from Samsung and Apple, but also from the low-end devices of the Chinese players who are catching up very fast," he says.
"I think the key is that HTC needs to make sure that consumers are aware of the new technology it can bring them.
"Last year, [two HTC Android smartphones] the Butterfly and the One X were actually very good devices, but their sales were not as good as the company expected.
"This is more than just [doing enough] TV ads - it's the correct way of marketing, how they deliver the correct message to consumers, so that they get that this device is as good as Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy S."
HTC's chairman Peter Chou readily admits to the BBC that the firm faced challenges last year. But he says the new phone will help the Taiwanese company turn things around: "We've created the best smartphone on the market; we just need to let the world know about it."
To gain traction in the market, HTC aims to do better marketing than last year, focusing on tech-savvy people, the very same crowd that is now so taken in by the iPhones and Galaxy devices.
"Rather than trying to talk to everyone, we will be engaging with people who are seeking an alternative experience," says Mr Chou.
"We will be smart and nimble in our marketing. You will see us take bold risks."
While carving a phone out of metal could qualify as taking a bold risk - at least in terms of technology - HTC must make sure that its new "hero" phone does not stumble at other hurdles; the One X, for example, had trouble shaking off criticism for its relatively short battery life.
"At the end of the day, a good product will sell itself," says Scott Croyle, HTC's other vice-president of design, who once told the BBC that he had drawn inspiration for a handset from a sports shoe.
"To be a successful company, there are a lot of moving parts," says Mr Croyle.
"And absolutely - can HTC do better? Yes, I think all of us can do better.
"I think this year we've really focused on innovation and execution. And execution not only in terms of design and engineering, but getting the whole company to move in step as we launch the phone."
For the HTC One to be successful, it requires more than just a feat of engineering.
Those suffering from advanced hepatitis C infection will get £27,000 per year - the equivalent of the average income.
Victims with chronic hepatitis C will also now receive a £50,000 lump sum payment, up from £20,000 previously.
The widows and widowers of those who have died from hepatitis will receive annual payments for the first time.
The settlement is significantly higher than that currently proposed for victims in the rest of the UK.
The UK government has proposed increasing payments by only a few hundred pounds, however, payments would be offered to more people in the early stages of hepatitis.
It is estimated that about 3,000 Scots were infected with hepatitis C and HIV through NHS blood products in the 1970s and 80s.
Infections also occurred on a huge scale in the rest of the UK, but Scotland is the only part of the UK to hold an inquiry.
In March, the chairman of the inquiry, Lord Penrose, concluded more should have been done to screen blood and donors for hepatitis C in the early 1990s.
Contaminated blood - who gets what?
Scottish Health Secretary Shona Robison said: "Infected blood is one of the most terrible chapters in the history of our NHS.
"Those affected have suffered dreadful impacts on their health, life expectancy and quality of life, including financial losses.
"It is quite right that they and their families are given adequate support to help them cope with consequences for which they are entirely blameless."
The increased payments, which follow the setting up of a financial review group by the Scottish government, were welcomed by patients groups.
Bill Wright, chairman of Haemophilia Scotland, said it was a "watershed moment" that should stop people living in poverty as a result of their infections.
He added: "No scheme can truly make up for the loss of life, and health, caused by this disaster.
"The cabinet secretary has acknowledged that there is more to be done once these schemes move to Scotland. However, today, we have made historic progress."
The Scottish Infected Blood Forum (SIBF) said the announcements were "a step forward" but called for more to be done to help people with early stage disease who do not qualify for annual payments.
SIBF convener Philip Dolan said: "We welcome the Scottish government's statement which is a step forward in obtaining some justice for victims.
"SIBF and partner organisations will continue to lobby and argue for a full, fair and equal settlement for the needs of the majority, who seek to live out the remainder of their lives with financial stability and dignity".
He added: "There is no guarantee that the ongoing needs of the majority who are deemed to fall below Stage 2 will be met. The fear is that more people from this key group will die before a satisfactory and just financial settlement is provided to them."
Only those infected in Scotland are eligible for the Scottish scheme.
The work comes as part of plans to expand the area's enterprise zone and improve links with communities.
About £6m has been secured from the Welsh government's Vibrant and Viable Places fund over the last two years.
Some of the money will also be used on energy efficiency projects on council houses in the area.
The British overseas territory of 30,000 voted overwhelmingly for remain, with 95.9% opting to stay in the union.
"The Spanish flag on the Rock is much closer than before," Spain's acting Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said on Friday.
Gibraltar has been a British territory since 1713 but Spain continues to claim sovereignty over the enclave.
At the entrance to the Mediterranean, Gibraltar relies heavily on its shared EU border with Spain for trade.
In a radio interview, Mr Garcia-Margallo said: "It's a complete change of outlook that opens up new possibilities on Gibraltar not seen for a very long time.
"I hope the formula of co-sovereignty - to be clear, the Spanish flag on the Rock - is much closer than before."
Gibraltar's Chief Minister Fabian Picardo campaigned for a remain vote.
Julie Girling, the Conservative MEP for South West England and Gibraltar, said; "I am deeply sorry that the people of the UK have chosen this leap in the dark.
"I believe future generations will question our wisdom."
There were 19,322 votes for remain, amid a turnout of 84% of the UK voters on the enclave.
Spain continues to claim sovereignty over Gibraltar but the majority of Gibraltarians are British citizens with British passports.
The enclave is self-governing in all areas except defence and foreign policy. It is home to a British military garrison and naval base.
Gibraltarians elect their own representatives to the territory's House of Assembly and the British monarch appoints a governor.
It all stems from his use of the word "schlonged" when talking about Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton.
Referring to her defeat by Barack Obama in the 2008 primary race, he told supporters in Michigan: "She was favoured to win and she got schlonged, she lost."
Use of the word, which is from the Yiddish slang for penis, has been criticised but Mr Trump hit back on Twitter.
"Once again, #MSM [mainstream media] is dishonest. 'Schlonged' is not vulgar. When I said Hillary got 'schlonged' that meant beaten badly," he wrote.
So was he correct to suggest it is a neutral, commonplace saying? Mr Trump tweeted that the phrase had been used in politics before, to refer to an earlier Democratic campaign.
In a "History of political 'schlongings'" Ben Zimmer in Politico mentions several other examples, although adds that Mr Trump's "usage rightly raised eyebrows for its leering undertones".
Political analyst Jeff Greenfield said it was a word he hears often.
Writing in Talking Points Memo, Josh Marshall suggests "schlonged" may have similar etymological status to words such as "screwed" - a term that originally had a sexual meaning but has since become a more accepted phrase.
"These phrases often get used with little conscious sense of their original meaning," he wrote.
Hillary Clinton's campaign team said they would not respond to the comments but her spokesperson tweeted "everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should".
Michelle Goldberg in Slate said the language was a sign "Trump, having capitalised on his fans' vast store of racial and religious resentment, is now seeking to tap the reservoir of their misogyny".
Mr Trump has faced previous accusations of sexism, after attacking the appearance of Republican rival Carly Fiorina and for suggesting Fox News host Megyn Kelly gave him tough questions during a debate because she was menstruating.
Others questioned the usage. The New Yorker's Emily Nussbaum tweeted "'schlonged' is not a verb. Even when used by a putz," referring to another Yiddish word meaning a stupid or worthless person.
Josh Barro, a correspondent for the Upshot, said the idea it was a common phrase was "obviously false".
Statistician and writer Nate Silver disputed the term's supposedly regular usage, linking to a database he said showed "schlonged" had only been used nine times on US news sources since 1980 - most of which very much did not mean "beaten badly".
Of course, it is hard to see how these latest controversial remarks will have any more impact than any of his other outspoken comments - his brash nature is a major reason why he is flying high in the race to be Republican nominee.
Fox News Howard Kurtz suggested the real problem was the comments deflected scrutiny of Hillary Clinton's claims the Islamic State group used videos of Mr Trump's remarks on Muslims to recruit militants, which on Tuesday she appeared to backtrack on.
Prayuth Chan-ocha, the prime minister who heads the military government, in control of the country since a coup d'etat in May, had said that they could hold democratic elections in a year's time, at the end of 2015.
But the finance minister tells me that they discussed it last week.
He says it could be "a year and a half".
Sommai Phasee said: "As announced by the prime minister, it would take about one year. But, from my feeling, I think it may take, maybe, a year and a half."
The delay means that Thailand wouldn't return to democracy until the middle of 2016.
Mr Phasee also confirmed that there is no end date for martial law as "it's something that he [the Prime Minister] needs as his tool to deal with security."
Thailand's economy has been stagnant this year. After contracting at the start of the year, the economy has barely grown. Mr Phasee expects GDP growth to be just 1-1.2% this year.
When I asked him when the economy could return to trend growth rates, he pointed to the second quarter of next year when he said that GDP could expand by 4-5%.
The Thai military government will spend to boost the economy, he says, and increase subsidies to farmers as one of a number of short-term stimulus measures.
Since the coup, Thailand's economy has been hit by a fall in tourism, a decline in exports, and weak domestic demand that has affected the car industry, among others.
Ongoing political uncertainty has dented business confidence.
The chief executive of Siam Cement, one of the country's largest companies that is effectively controlled by the monarchy, Kan Trakulhoon tells me that he wants to see democracy restored soon.
Siam Cement has managed the downturn by changing their strategy to focus on exports as domestic demand has weakened. He, though, also expects a rebound in the domestic economy towards the end of the year.
About 200 people attended a public meeting on Tuesday to organise protests and rallies.
The People's Assembly is holding a national "week of action" from 3 October to 7 October.
Ms Peake said the government needed to change its anti-austerity strategy.
More than 35,000 people marched through central Manchester protesting against government cuts at the Conservative conference in 2011.
The party also held its autumn conference in the city in 2013.
Protesters are planning a 2015 demonstration to "make our voices heard".
Singer Charlotte Church and comedian Frankie Boyle are also expected to attend.
Ms Peake said: "We're standing up to the cuts. We're standing up to austerity. We're telling the Tory government 'You can't keep doing this to us'.
"I believe the majority of this country does not want these cuts and this mindless consistent bullying of the weak and the vulnerable."
The actress, who starred in BBC legal drama Silk and Channel 4's Shameless, called on people to join the protest.
She said: "The struggle is never over. We can't sit back. They have to listen to us. I'm quite astounded they have got the cheek to have the party conference in a city which is really suffering from their cuts. Not just the city, but the surrounding north.
"What happened to the Northern Powerhouse that Mr Osborne promised us? It isn't there. North of Watford is suffering. Rural communities are really being beaten down."
Ms Peake added: "Austerity doesn't work and it doesn't have to be that way. We have to get this message to the people of this country."
The German embassy in Beijing posted a statement accusing China of recording the visit against its wishes. One of the doctors was German.
The statement adds that Chinese security services, rather than doctors, are steering the dissident's treatment.
The Chinese authorities are yet to respond to the German statement.
Nobel peace laureate Liu Xiaobo was serving a sentence of 11 years for subversion, but was moved from prison to a hospital last month with terminal liver cancer.
Following international pressure, Beijing allowed two doctors - Markus Büchler from Germany and Joseph M Herman from the US - to examine the dissident in the north-eastern Chinese city of Shenyang.
Over the weekend the doctors said he could go abroad for palliative care, directly contradicting Chinese medical experts who said previously that Mr Liu is too ill to travel.
There are at least two known video clips which were first posted online on Sunday by Chinese government-backed groups.
One video appears to shows the two Western doctors at Mr Liu's bedside, along with his wife Liu Xia as well as several Chinese doctors and nurses.
A second video, which Chinese state news outlet Global Times later republished on its website, appears to show the Western and Chinese doctors in a conference room.
In the first clip, a man thought to be Dr Büchler says the Chinese doctors are "very committed" to treating Mr Liu, while in the second he is heard saying: "I don't think we can do better medically than you do".
The videos have been met with some scepticism from Chinese-language news outlets and blogs outside of mainland China.
Some claim the recordings were edited to cast the Chinese doctors in a positive light and lend credence to Beijing's argument that Mr Liu is too ill to be medically evacuated.
The fact that the videos were first posted on YouTube - which is blocked in China - has also prompted speculation that they were intended for a foreign audience.
Late on Monday, the German embassy in Beijing released a statement accusing "certain authorities" of making audio and video surveillance recordings of the visit, and then leaking them "selectively to certain Chinese state media outlets".
This, they said, constituted a breach of doctor-patient confidentiality.
The recordings were also "made against the expressed wishes of the German side, which were communicated in writing" before the visit.
"It seems that security organs are steering the process, not medical experts. This behaviour undermines trust in the authorities dealing with Mr Liu's case, which is vital to ensure maximum success of his medical treatment."
Separately, Mr Liu's lawyer Jared Genser told the BBC that it was "unfortunate and unsurprising that the Chinese government would be engaged in surveilling anybody who is having contact with Liu Xiaobo and Liu Xia".
There has been no official response to the statement but on Monday China's foreign ministry said it "hopes relevant countries will respect China's sovereignty and will not use individual cases to interfere with China's internal affairs", when asked if Liu Xiaobo would be allowed to leave.
A Global Times editorial on Monday said Chinese authorities were "trying their best to treat Liu and have fulfilled their humanitarian obligations".
It accused foreign forces of "still squeezing Liu for their political goals in disregard of his critical condition".
Liu Xiaobo, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 for his pro-democracy and human rights activism, is said to be in critical condition. Last week the hospital said his liver functions were worsening.
Mr Genser has called for his immediate medical evacuation.
He told the BBC: "My view is that China could demonstrate itself to be a strong power, and one that is secure by allowing him to travel abroad for medical treatment."
"Instead, they seem to be afraid of this one man and his views on how China could evolve from being a single party system to being a multi-party democracy," he said.
Wales asked organisers for permission to play all their home games under the tournament's only retractable roof but were turned down.
"It's now a discussion between the teams the week of the game like has always happened," said Howley.
England are Wales' first visitors on Saturday, 11 February.
Eddie Jones, England's Australian coach, said he cannot understand why the use of the roof - open or closed - is an issue.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"I don't care. It makes no difference because both teams have to play under it," said Jones.
However, Howley and his team will not know until close to the game what will happen.
"It's something that we wanted to have because of the experience one, of the atmosphere, but also controlling the conditions," said Howley.
"We understand and we respect that decision."
The Wales coach - deputising for 2017 British and Irish Lions boss Warren Gatland - also recalled England's 2013 visit to Cardiff when Stuart Lancaster was in charge of England.

The former Wales and Lions scrum-half was also in charge of Wales that season, as Gatland prepared to take charge of the Lions in Australia.
Howley said: "Stuart Lancaster rang me on the Monday and wanted the roof closed.
"If that's the case when England come to the Principality and Eddie Jones wants the roof closed that's fine.
"So it's down to the opposition coach who will dictate if the roof is open or closed."
Wales start the tournament on Sunday, 5 February and also travel to Scotland and France.
They host Ireland on Friday, 10 March.
Wales have two home matches in the 2017 Six Nations - firstly against England and then Ireland on 10 March.
Oliver Tetlow, 27, was murdered in Harlesden, north London, on 9 March 2016.
Making an appeal for witnesses his mother Pamela Humphrey said the family has "lived through a terrible year of grief and sadness".
Four people charged with his murder were acquitted last year.
Detectives have said they followed up on numerous leads, have spoken to in excess of 100 witnesses and have trawled through hours of CCTV footage.
"A significant amount of information has been obtained and passed to officers but they have yet to receive the vital piece of information that would finally put the killer or killers behind bars," a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.
Ms Humphrey said: "This appeal is not only for us, but for your family, your friends, innocent bystanders who could be murdered like Oliver was.
"We are searching for justice, to feel safe in the knowledge that whoever killed Oliver will be taken off our streets.
"We have lived through a terrible year of grief and sadness, having a talented young man with so much to look forward to in life torn from us.
"Every day I miss my son, my family miss him, Oliver's friends miss him, every day we think of him, every day we all grieve for him. Our pain goes on."
Appealing for witnesses, Det Ch Insp Mark Lawson said: "You may not have come forward at the time of the murder, now is the time to do so. Please do not remain silent.
"A year is a long time to go without answers and I would ask that you to take a moment and think about the devastation that has been caused to Oliver's family."

Evidence suggests younger children in a class can do less well than their older peers, and some parents feel delaying the school start can help
But many parents find their children must start reception in September or go on a waiting list for Year 1.
MP Annette Brooke has tabled an Early Day Motion urging more flexibility.
In theory, parents in England can choose when their children start school up to the statutory school starting age - the first term after the fifth birthday. But in practice, Mrs Brooke says, it is difficult to exercise that right and parents often "cave in", not wanting to "make a fuss".
Her Early Day Motion, which is backed by a grassroots campaign group, says: "This House notes with concern the robust and consistent evidence from around the world on birth date effects, which in England shows that summer-born children can suffer long-term disadvantages as a result of England's inflexible school starting age."
It goes on to say the government should ensure that parents of summer-born children are able to exercise their right to defer their child's school start until the statutory school start time, if that is their choice.
And this has to be "without fear of losing the place at the school of their choice" they have been allocated, it says.
She adds: "Why should a child born a minute before midnight on August 31 be automatically put into Year 1 aged five?"
"Every child is different, emotionally, socially and in cognitive development, and so it seems reasonable to me that parents should have the choice to ask for their child to be in reception rather than Year 1 when they reach statutory school starting age."
She acknowledges that, taken to its extreme, it could mean children starting school at many different times, which would not work, but calls for more parental choice and flexibility.
She warns: "A bad early experience could adversely affect a child throughout their whole education. I want to foster a joy of learning, and that can only be achieved if learning experiences are appropriate to a child's stage of development.
"My fear is that parents feel pressured to start their children in September because they fear that their child will get left behind. I just feel that it should be made easier to make that choice."
Stefan Richter, a father of three summer-born girls who has set up a campaign group calling for more flexibility, said: "Admission authorities present the choice as missing a year, or starting a year earlier than legally required: not a great choice, and the crux of what we're fighting against."
The campaign is grounded in a litany of parents' distressing experiences.
Under the school admissions code, the local education authority must make it clear in admissions arrangements that parents can request a deferral until later in the academic year or until the term in which the child reaches compulsory school age.
Parents can also request that the child takes up a part-time place until they reach compulsory school age.
Mrs Brooke says parents who are concerned about the issue should encourage their local MP to sign her Early Day Motion. She has plans for an adjournment debate in the autumn.
Robert Snajdr says he is "very close to a resolution" with police and the council over the licence of Faces bar in Bridge Street, Northampton.
Northampton Borough Council decided to extend a suspension on the licence for a further 21 days on Friday.
The fight, which involved 50 or 60 people, took place in the early hours of 12 December.
A suspension on the licence of NU Bar, which was also involved in the incident, has been lifted.
The council considered the two licenses separately in a private meeting, with evidence presented by Northamptonshire Police.
The licensing sub-committee decided NU Bar could open with changes to its licensing conditions, including needing to give police 14 days notice of any external promoted event.
Faces will remain closed until further measures can be put in place, the council said.
The suspension remains in place for 21 days, but could be lifted if the conditions are met before then.
The two bars had been closed following the brawl.
Mr Snajdr said discussions were "quite far along".
He said: "We are working to get a resolution to this."
Council leader David Mackintosh said the authority had "acted quickly" following the fight.
He said: "The committee considered a lot of evidence before reaching their conclusions. Faces Bar will remain closed until we are satisfied all proper measures are in place."
Three men have been arrested and bailed over the brawl.
Eight people were taken to hospital following the fight, but have all since been released.
Retailers Edeka, Metro and Netto were fined for fixing the price of Beck's and other beers owned by brewing giant AB InBev.
Lidl was fined for the price-fixing of Haribo confectionery.
The cartel office said its six-year investigation into pricing agreements was now nearly complete.
It began in January 2010, when the office carried out dawn raids to gather information about illegal agreements between retailers and manufacturers.
So far, it has imposed fines totalling €242m over price-fixing involving confectionery, coffee, pet food, beer and body care products.
The Cartel Office said the brewer AB InBev, whose brands Beck's, Franziskaner and Hasseroeder were under particular investigation, and the retailer REWE Zentral escaped fines because they co-operated from early on in the investigation.
Andreas Mundt, president of the Cartel Office, said: "In the sale of its premium beer brands, the brewery concerned agreed with retailers on several occasions to raise shop prices and co-ordinated the details between them, in particular reference dates and the level of the respective price increase.
"The retailers expected that the brewery would ensure that the price increase was simultaneously implemented by competing retailers. The ones suffering from such systematic price maintenance practices are the end consumers."
In a statement Metro said the "irregularities" had taken place at one of its procurement arms which has since been closed.
"We expressly regret these irregularities which date back quite some time. Such behaviour is not in line with the way we want to understand and operate our business," said a spokesperson.
Metro added that it made sure the failings were "eliminated long before the beginning of the investigations".
A fine was also imposed on German drugstore chain Rossmann for fixing the price of Melitta coffee products.
In its statement, the Cartel Office said a mitigating factor in the calculation of the fines had been the fact that, with the exception of Rossmann, settlements were reached with the retailers.
Rossmann appealed against its fine earlier this year.
Marquis headed Rovers into an early lead against his former side before Kal Naismith levelled just before the break with a cool, low finish.
Tommy Rowe's fierce strike into the top corner put the hosts back in front at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Striker Marquis made sure of victory with a crisp volley from 12 yards.
Pompey had chances to make it a closer contest, but Doncaster goalkeeper Marko Marosi kept them at bay with two superb saves.
The Slovakian first kept out Matthew Clarke's deflected header at point-blank range in the first half before tipping substitute Milan Lalkovic's headed effort wide late on.
However, the 23-year-old goalkeeper was then carried off on a stretcher after a collision in a goalmouth scramble.
Victory for Darren Ferguson's Doncaster, their eighth in 10 league matches, stretches their lead at the top to four points, while Portsmouth remain in fourth.

Lidiane Leite, 25, lived a life of luxury in the capital of Maranhao state, prosecutors said.
They say her only contact with her town, Bom Jardim, was through daily WhatsApp messages to her cabinet.
An arrest warrant has been issued against her and her boyfriend, who served as her main adviser.
Ms Leite's lawyer said she was not aware of any wrongdoing.
She was in her early 20s when Beto Rocha, her boyfriend, was banned from running for mayor in 2012 for alleged corruption.
Ms Leite stepped in and was elected. She appointed Mr Rocha as her main adviser and went to live in the state capital, Sao Luis, 275km (170 miles) away.
"She was too young and and inexperienced when she took office," said her lawyer, Carlos Barros. "She lacked confidence and delegated many tasks to Mr Rocha."
Brazilian media say the couple ended their relationship earlier this year and Mr Rocha resigned shortly after.
Ms Leite went on the run after her name was mentioned in a federal investigation on the misuse of state education funds.
Operation Eden uncovered evidence that some $4m (£2.6m) in funds for Bom Jardim's schools went missing.
The town's already precarious education system has now collapsed. Teachers are not being paid.
An arrest warrant was issued on Thursday and a new mayor - Ms Leite's former deputy - was sworn in on Saturday promising to carry out a full investigation.
A state judge said he would seek an international arrest warrant if she does not hand herself in by Tuesday.
Maranhao, in north-eastern Brazil, is one of the country's poorest states.
The Italian, a fans' favourite in his six seasons at Ibrox from 1997-2003, said: "To see my old club back in the Premiership is absolutely fantastic.
"I think what happened a few years ago was not the best choice for Scottish football but I didn't make the decision, someone else did.
"I'm delighted they are back again."
The "choice" the former defender was referring to was a vote in July 2012, by 10 of the 12 Scottish Premier League teams, against an application from the new company running Rangers to play in the top tier.
With the SPL no longer an option, 25 out of 30 Scottish Football League teams then voted in favour of Rangers being admitted to the bottom division.
Amoruso told the BBC's World Service: "Starting from the first day everyone did a fantastic job but I must say this is not the end, it's just the beginning. I would like to see Rangers back on top again.
"You can't think about Rangers having a season where they are just surviving in the Premiership - Rangers isn't about that.
"Don't get me wrong, they need to invest but they have done extremely well so you shouldn't change lots of things.
"Rangers have a massive name, an unbelievable history and fantastic support so there are three great reasons why Rangers should start the league trying to win it.
"I'm sure most Celtic supporters probably didn't really enjoy the last four years. No disrespect to the other clubs but without Rangers the league definitely is not the same."
Asked about his passion for the Ibrox club, Amoruso, 44, said: "I never left Rangers, trust me; my body left Rangers.
"But my heart and my brain is always there, that's the way I feel."
The win put the Dunblane-born Wimbledon champion "a step closer" to becoming world number one, according to The Herald.
He did not drop a set during the tournament in Beijing, where he secured his fifth singles title of 2016 - and the 40th of his career, The Scotsman reports.
Meanwhile The Daily Record brands the "super-rich" boss of Ineos petrochemical plant a "tea break tea leaf".
The paper claims 1,200 workers at the Grangemouth site could lose their morning tea break, under plans being drawn up by managers.
The Scottish edition of The Times leads with a warning from Carolyn Fairburn, leader of business group CBI.
She claims Theresa May's Brexit policy risks "closing the door" on an open economy.
Police Scotland's warning over the "killer clown" craze features on the front page of The National.
The girlfriend of former Celtic player Anthony Stokes has called in the police after having private photographs stolen, according to the Scottish Sun.
The Scottish Daily Mail accuses Royal Mail of "making millions from conmen who defraud the elderly on a massive scale". Royal Mail said it took the paper's finding seriously and it "does not knowingly distribute mail from fraudsters".
A plot by pro-EU MPs to block Brexit has "sparked fury", according to the Scottish Daily Express.
And the Press and Journal's Highlands and islands edition reports on a house fire at a family home near Carrbridge.
The Cardinals were ahead inside three minutes when Fabio Saraiva charged through and fired a shot into the bottom corner from 25 yards.
However, Neil Smith's men rallied and got their reward when Tobi Sho-Silva cut the ball back for Blair Turgott to shoot home for the equaliser.
In a tight second half, substitute Daniel Ajakaiye hit the side netting from a favourable position as the Ravens pushed for a winner.
But another substitute, Minshull, forced the ball in from a 89th-minute corner, to widespread jubilation at Hayes Lane.

Its index of the cheapest deals on the market showed that the cost of annual comprehensive car insurance fell by 1% compared with the previous quarter.
That took the cheapest deals down by £5.58 to £530.47.
The AA said said that drivers aged over 60 saw premiums rise over the same period.
Janet Connor, managing director of AA Insurance, said that other age groups would start seeing insurance costs rise steadily too.
"We are starting to see insurers quoting higher prices. I think that is the beginning of a trend, but the market remains very competitive," she said.
"The rate of increase is not going to be turbo-charged."
The cost of car insurance has fallen by nearly 6% compared with the same quarter a year earlier, the AA said.
Bigger falls were recorded in the cheapest deals for home insurance, according to the insurer.
The average quote was down 9.6%, or nearly £17, among the cheapest deals in the last year for home and contents insurance.
A long period of benign weather had helped keep costs down, Ms Connor said.
"Home premiums are most likely to be affected by extremes of weather and the recent winter has on the whole been notable for its lack of heavy rain, snow, winds and extreme temperatures," she said.
The three-time Ballon d'Or winner was told of his illness in October.
The 68-year-old won three consecutive European Cups with Ajax as a player and led Barcelona to their first European Cup win in 1992 as manager.
"The results have been very positive," he said. "Thanks to the excellent work of the doctors, the affection of the people and my positive mentality."
"Right now, I have the feeling that I am 2-0 up in the first half of a match that has not finished yet," he added. "But I am sure I will end up winning."
Cruyff helped his country reach the World Cup final in 1974, where they lost to West Germany.
He also led Barcelona to the the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1989.
Barcelona also won four consecutive La Liga titles from 1990-91 to 1993-94 under his guidance.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Cruyff had double heart bypass surgery in 1991.
Having been a smoker, he gave up immediately after the operation and took to sucking lollipops in the dugout.
He featured in a Catalan health department advert, saying: "Football has given me everything in life, tobacco almost took it all away."
The 35-year-old built on January's Australian Open win and his March Indian Wells success with a convincing 6-3 6-4 win over the Spaniard.
The pair shared 10 break points in the opening set, with Federer the only man to take one to crucially move 5-3 up.
He exuded control throughout, breaking at 4-4 in the second and serving out.
A sweeping backhand down the line in the final game summed up the confidence which poured from the champion from start to finish as he moved to an 11-match winning streak and improved his record to 19 wins and just one defeat in 2017.
A fourth straight win over Nadal - his longest winning streak in their 13-year professional rivalry - also makes Federer the oldest winner of the Miami Open.
He looked cool and calm throughout and his dominance this year is perhaps all the more remarkable given he took six months off through the second half of the 2016 season to recover from a knee injury.
"The dream continues," he said after the win. "It's been a fabulous couple of weeks. What a start to the year, thank you to my team and all who have supported me, especially in my more difficult challenging times last year."
Federer triumphed in his first tournament after the lay-off, beating Nadal in five sets at the Australian Open, but this time around, the Spaniard rarely looked like he would land a first Miami title in what was his fifth final.
When the pair shared their first ever meeting here in 2004, only Federer held a Grand Slam title. They have now amassed 32 in total and like so often in the past, they contested each point with ferocity, making the two breaks of serve Federer secured critical.
"It's disappointing that every time in my career I have stood here I get the smaller trophy," said Nadal. "It's been a very good two weeks for me. Even if I lost for the third time this year to Roger it's a good start, playing three finals."
Nadal - who also lost to American Sam Querrey in the Mexican Open final this year - failed to take two break points in the opening game of the match at Crandon Park Tennis Center and defended two successfully to level at 2-2.
Though the first six games of the second set went with serve, Federer always held more comfortably. He forced a first break point at 3-3, only for Nadal to expertly read a cross-court effort with the pair exposed at the net.
Nadal's consequent fist pump evoked memories of see-saw exchanges they have shared over the years and he punched the air after defending a second break point to take the game - showcasing belief he could yet disturb Federer's seemingly unflappable rhythm.
But at 4-4, a Federer backhand barely crossed the net after hitting the tape, forcing Nadal to race forward and desperately flick the ball back, leaving his end of the court exposed for the 18-time Grand Slam winner to deliver a telling lob.
It gave him the chance to serve out the win and Nadal went long moments later, ensuring Federer's stellar start to the year continued.
BBC Sport tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
It is 11 years since Roger Federer last completed the Indian Wells and Miami double, so add 'staggering stamina' to his rapidly increasing list of attributes for 2017.
At 35, though, Federer is also proving he is a realist and a pragmatist. Who is to say he would not have been able to piece together a very handy clay court season to increase his chances of becoming world number one once more?
But Federer knows even he can't keep up this relentless success - on all surfaces - over an 11-month season. Thus this eight-week break from tour to be followed by an appearance at the French Open where, even as a long shot for the title, he will remain the tournament's star turn.
And in his mind - with Wimbledon and the US Open still to come - it is at Roland Garros that the season really begins.
STV2 will be a rebranded version of STV's Glasgow and Edinburgh stations, and will include new licences for Aberdeen, Ayr and Dundee.
From 24 April, it will broadcast around the clock on Freeview as well as Sky and Virgin channels. It will also be streamed online via the STV Player.
STV said the channel would reach about 85% of viewers in its transmission area.
The launch will also mark the start of STV's new flagship news programme, STV News Tonight. Presented by Halla Mohieddeen, it will air weeknights at 19:00.
STV said the channel would also feature new programming including soap, drama and movies.
Bobby Hain, director of channels at STV, said: "STV2 is the first commercial TV channel with a distinct schedule for Scotland and we're excited to confirm the channel will launch on Monday 24 April.
"STV2 has Scotland at its core with an entertaining mix of local, Scottish and international content.
"Our flagship news programme, STV News Tonight, will air every weeknight as part of a diverse schedule including a daily live magazine show, programming showcasing key cultural events and local sport plus top quality drama and entertainment."
The yacht Iolaire was wrecked on a reef called the Beasts of Holm just off the Isle of Lewis in the early hours of 1 January 1919.
The boat was carrying home hundreds of sailors after the end of World War One.
The memorials are planned as part of events commemorating the centenary of the tragedy.
A number of communities in the Western Isles that were affected by the disaster have requested a memorial.
Most of those who died were from Lewis or Harris.
Organisers said the sculptures would be modelled on one planned for Stornoway on Lewis.
That memorial would act as a marker and have information boards about loss of the Iolaire and directions to the memorial site overlooking where the yacht was wrecked.
The last survivor of the Iolaire - which means "eagle" in Gaelic - died in 1992.
The yacht set sail from Kyle of Lochalsh on the west Highlands mainland on New Year's Eve 1918.
Making its final approach into Stornoway harbour on a dark night and in a strong gale, it changed course at the wrong point.
With the lights of the harbour in sight, the ship struck rocks at full speed and immediately began to tilt, filling up with water.
Although the stern of the boat was at one point just six metres (20ft) from land, many of the men onboard were weighed down by their heavy uniforms and were unable to swim ashore.
The next morning the bodies that had been recovered or washed up were laid out for families to identify.
The cause of the disaster was never conclusively determined. A public inquiry was unable to establish the reasons for the accident.
A few eyebrows were raised, but Wiggins is not the first athlete whose podium exploits have made headlines. Here are some other common reactions...
American gymnast Gabby Douglas had just won gold in the team event, but as her four team-mates stood to attention, their hands on their hearts to greet the Star Spangled Banner, the 20-year-old had her hands by her side, looking dejected. She was accused of being unpatriotic, others thought she was protesting, but she later explained she was overwhelmed by the occasion.
Swimmer Michael Phelps had just won his 20th Olympic gold medal with victory in the 200m butterfly when he burst into hysterics during the American national anthem.
Apparently his friends, watching from the seats, had brought a Baltimore Orioles baseball tradition to Rio, chanting "Oooooooh" for the line "Oh say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave."
Sir Chris Hoy was a blubbering mess after winning gold in the keirin at London 2012. It was a record sixth Olympic gold for the track cyclist, and his last act as an Olympian.
British decathlete Daley Thompson had won gold at the 1984 Los Angeles Games when he began whistling to 'God Save The Queen' after receiving his medal.
South Korean gold medallist Jin Jong-oh shook hands with bronze medallist and North Korean Kim Song-guk following the 50m pistol event. Despite the political differences of the neighbouring countries, the gesture showed the true Olympic spirit in action.

The blaze broke out at Willow Place Shopping Centre in Corby on Tuesday evening.
Two boys, aged 14 and 17, and two men, aged 19 and 20, have been arrested on suspicion of arson. They remain in police custody.
The car park is closed, along with four stores, although the shopping centre is open.
Northamptonshire Police said other people may have been involved, although the cause of the fire is still to be established.
Det Ch Insp Nick Lyall said the "large fire caused significant damage to the car park and nearby shops".
The four people were arrested on Tuesday evening, but police want to speak to anyone who may have seen a group of young people running away from the scene just after 18:00 GMT.
"We would also like to speak to anyone who lives with anyone who returned home last night smelling of smoke and acting suspiciously," Mr Lyall said.
Six fire engines and more than 30 firefighters attended.
Corby town centre director Dan Pickard said the car park would be shut for the "foreseeable future".
He added that Evans, Burtons, Dorothy Perkins and River Island would be closed on New Year's Eve due to heat and water damage.
Willow Place Shopping Centre is open, with visitors advised to park at the Cube, although some smaller retailers have also closed for the day.
Manager of Tresspass Gemma Brierley said the fire had been an "inconvenience" and her shop had been closed all morning for cleaning.
She said: "We are not sure what is damaged and what is not. We are trying to sort through what we can actually sell."
It took two hours to put out the blaze and the nearby Chandos House flats were evacuated until about 22:30 GMT.
One person needed medical treatment for the effects of breathing in smoke.
Anne Street remains closed while the investigation takes place.
She went to Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford before she was admitted to the Hospital for Tropical Diseases.
The trust said the UK was rabies-free and staff would be unlikely to consider rabies unless a patient reported wild animal contact in an at-risk country.
Doctors responded to information given by the patient at the time, it added.
The woman, who has not been identified and is still receiving treatment, had been bitten by a dog in south Asia.
In a statement, the Kent NHS trust said some hospital staff members were being vaccinated against the potentially fatal disease.
It said: "Although there are no cases of rabies being passed by human-to-human contact, the five members of staff that came into close contact with the patient are being vaccinated as a precautionary measure."
The trust also said an investigation had begun into the circumstances around the patient's attendance at the emergency department.
It said it was also working closely with the Health Protection Agency (HPA).
Rabies is usually transferred through saliva from the bite of an infected animal, with dogs being the most common transmitter of rabies to humans.
More than 55,000 people are thought to die from rabies each year, with most cases occurring in south and south-east Asia.
Professor David Brown, a rabies expert at the HPA, said only four cases of human rabies acquired from dogs, all from abroad, had been identified in the UK since 2000.
The North Face and Esprit co-founder died of hypothermia after the kayaks he and five others were in capsized in strong waves, authorities said.
He was taken by helicopter to hospital in Coyhaique but had stopped breathing when he arrived, doctors said.
Mr Tompkins bought up large tracts of land in Chilean and Argentine Patagonia to keep them pristine.
A military patrol boat rescued three of the kayakers on General Carrera Lake and a helicopter lifted out the other three, the Chilean army said.
"Doug was a passionate advocate for the environment," said The North Face in a statement. "His legacy of conservation will help ensure that there are outdoor spaces to be explored for generations to come."
On his Chilean land, Mr Tompkins created Pumalin Park, 2,900 sq km (1,120 sq miles) of forest, lakes and fjords stretching from the Andes to the Pacific.
He also became involved in local environmental issues in Chile and Argentina and helped raise environmental awareness there.
In total, he and wife Kris McDivitt Tompkins, the former CEO of outdoor clothing brand Patagonia, are believed to have bought up more than two million acres of land for parks and protected reserves.
Mr Tompkins did, however, at times face heavy criticism from right-wing Chilean politicians who accused him of being part of a conspiracy to grab land in the country.
The North Face was founded in 1964 by Mr Tompkins and a partner in San Francisco, starting out as a "small ski and backpacking retail and mail order operation", according to the company.
A few years later, he helped his then wife Susie Tompkins Buell to start clothing brand Esprit.
Mr Tompkins later sold his stake in Esprit and retired to Chile to use his fortune for environmental causes, founding the Foundation for Deep Ecology with activist Jerry Mander in 1990.
The foundation's website says Mr Tompkins had come to see the consumer culture that his clothing companies had promoted as "another destructive manifestation of an industrial growth economy toxic to nature".

Smartly dressed in a shirt and tie, he has just come from a meeting with an investor who has agreed to fund his agricultural services start-up. He smiles widely, his happiness infectious as he talks about how his business got started.
"I started Brave East Africa without a coin on me. That was June 2010 when I finished my final year at Makere University, I was doing bachelor of animal production at the college of veterinary medicine," he says.
Inspired by his single parent mother, Mr Ssemakula set about creating what he hopes will become a multinational agribusiness that helps east African farmers build profitable and sustainable businesses.
"My mother has been father and mother, supporting the family slowly through her work. I wanted to follow the same path."
The first step was to find somewhere to work from. But with no money options were limited - so he came up with the idea of trading veterinary officer services for a seat in an internet cafe, run by a group of farmers.
Writing for a newspaper about agriculture, in return for having the name of his business and contact details prominently displayed, attracted customers, bringing precious funds to invest in the business. Finally he was ready to move to an office environment which would allow him to meet clients and investors and to be taken seriously.
Setting up on your own in east Africa isn't cheap. Not only is there rent to consider, there's furniture, utilities and the internet connection that remains prohibitively expensive for ordinary Ugandans.
So instead Mr Ssemakula decided to become a member of the Mara Launchpad, one of a new breed of home-grown co-working spaces and innovation hubs in Kampala.
"If you're working from home or out of your car here in Uganda people don't take you seriously," says Mara Launchpad's Nigel Ball.
"They're worried because trust levels are lower, and if you don't have an office how do they track you down if things go wrong."
Providing office space is a simple thing to do, says Mr Ball. But what the Launchpad wants to do is give technology and non-technology companies credibility in the eyes of potential clients or partners.
"Getting the right kind of office that projects the right kind of image, that's in the right location, at the right price, is not an easy task," he says.
There's a large open plan room filled with desks, with wifi connectivity, as well as various meeting rooms. In the room next door regular Friday night innovation events are held, organised by the Mara Foundation and the Angels Finance Corporation, the people behind the Launchpad.
Business incubation and mentorship is available, as well as a six week acceleration program that runs twice a year.
Over the last couple of years, tech hubs and other co-working spaces have started popping up in towns and cities worldwide.
For emerging economies, the services and advice they offer can have even more impact than in the developed world. Taking the lead from the granddaddy of them all, Nairobi's iHub, they are spreading rapidly across the African continent.
In an office block on a residential street in Kampala, Barbara Birungi sits at her desk with a cup of tea. She is the manager of the Hive CoLab, less a co-working space than a start-up incubator. Technology entrepreneurs who fit their criteria can spend two years based in the open plan offices.
"It's not about strict business. It's also about coming here to share your ideas, and collaborate. Because out of sharing and collaborating come ideas," says Ms Birungi.
"Apart from just offering them a space we see how we can take an idea to the next level. Because many startups fail within the first two years of existence."
As well as regular events and Mobile Monday innovation sessions, the incubator offers mentoring and support finding investors, helping them to protect their intellectual property.
"We have seen examples where investors actually take up someone's idea, and because there's no paperwork, there's no proof they have done that," she says.
Kampala's newest space is Outbox, a co-working space and technology start-up incubator and accelerator that counts Google among its partners.
Richard Zulu is a co-founder. He says working with developers and realising they needed help to get them to the next level pushed him to open the hub.
"It's very important that the people that start these places share the same passions as the people that work in them," says Mr Zulu.
"A place like this creates a focal point, where you'll be able to meet A, B, C, D people in the tech community. Through the co-working initiative it drives entrepreneurship and innovation through the participants of the space.
"The core is community."
The space specialises in mobile and web start-ups, and Outbox is already home to at least one award-winning business.
Senegalese-born social entrepreneur and blogger Marieme Jamme mentors founders and managers of some of Africa's technology hubs.
She believes that while the hype surrounding the new hubs is increasing the visibility of African developers, the type of mentorship available in the Ugandan hubs is vital to their success. And it's not available at all of the spaces opening up across the continent.
"You have ideas generated within those tech hubs, but they don't know how to scale those businesses. They have the business acumen and the passion, but they don't know how to go through setting up that business, or writing that business plan.
"You'll find out that 90% of them don't know how to do it. But when an investor comes in they hide their discomfort, and pretend they know how to do it. This is African pride, this is inside the African mindset.
"It's not because they're not good people, it's the way the mindset works."
Another problem according to Ms Jamme is the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge when it comes to coding and development.
"That's why it's very important for us to go back and say, it's ok if you don't know, and work out how you help these entrepreneurs scale their businesses.
"How can you move the coder from a coder to a CEO?"
Mr Ssemakula is certain coming to the Mara Launchpad was the right thing to do.
As well giving farmers agricultural and financial advice, the company is working on technology to link the farmers to high-value markets using text messages.
"The Mara Launchpad has changed my business by providing me with a professional business environment that commands more credibility in the eyes of my customers, in this case the farmers, who find me in such a setting and they see my business as a serious business."
His dreams of sitting at the helm of a multi-national agribusiness are becoming more tangible, with plans for his first branch office in Nairobi, Kenya.
"[The Launchpad] has given me access to free business mentorship and how to go about being an entrepreneur in a practical way."
"I'm glad to be here."

"There is still a party out there that wants to win and fight on and fight on we will."
Confirming your continued existence isn't on any political party's list of fun things to do, but former MP Mark Williams was performing a necessary public service when he uttered the words on BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement a few days ago.
Mr Williams was the party's sole Welsh MP, but in June he lost Ceredigion by 104 votes to Plaid Cymru's Ben Lake.
The former teacher is one of Welsh politics' more jovial figures, but he could be forgiven for reflecting darkly that he might in fact have been one of the lucky ones - at least some people actually voted for him.
There are 40 constituencies in Wales and in 36 of them the Liberal Democrats lost their deposit. That means failing to secure 5% of the vote and thus giving up the £500 candidates have to stump up. The system is supposed to deter time-wasters - you can insert your own joke here, if you like.
In the four remaining seats the party was second in three - Ceredigion, Montgomeryshire and Brecon and Radnorshire - but only in the first was it anywhere near winning.
In its other target seat, Cardiff Central, which was Lib Dem until 2015, it slipped to third place.
There are more statistics available - vote share down to 4.5%, for instance - but going through them all seems a bit cruel.
So let's be a bit more constructive and ask what went wrong and what the Lib Dems might be able to do about it.
The Liberal Democrats were clearly hoping that running a campaign centred on a promise of a second EU referendum would be enough to attract a sizeable chunk of the 48% who voted Remain in 2016.
But it did not happen - there is increasing evidence those Remainers who remain motivated by the EU issued largely plumped for Labour this time around, despite the well-publicised ambiguities in that party's actual European policy.
Mr Williams blamed a "useless" national campaign and it is clear Tim Farron did not enthuse the electorate.
There may still be some residual anger among ex-Lib Dems over the 2010-15 coalition with the Conservatives and there are always the dull realities of declining representation for any political party - less cash (those lost deposits alone cost £18,000), fewer councillors to contribute time and money and the surprisingly quick onset of organisational atrophy.
When will there be good news?
Salvation may have to wait until the assembly elections in 2021. The Lib Dems have a sole AM, Kirsty Williams, but she is the education secretary and will at least give the party a record in office to campaign on.
It is also the case that the assembly electoral system is designed to support a four-party system, which is great until you slip from fourth to fifth place.
But with UKIP struggling both to define itself in the post-referendum era and to adapt to the daily realities of representing the people in the Senedd, it is likely the crucial fourth slot will be genuinely competitive again.
The Lib Dems may not need a huge surge to get back to, say, four or five AMs.
The continued fluidity of UK politics could help too - both the Conservatives and Labour may struggle over the coming years to remain united over Brexit and the Remain-focused may turn back to the Lib Dems.
New leader Sir Vince Cable already sounds open-minded about another big unknown - the emergence of a new party on the centre-left.
Mr Williams, though, suggests the answer really lies not on the national stage but on a pavement near you - grassroots campaigning on the things people care about in their own communities.
It seems like a good place to start.
The Duke of Edinburgh has decided to stand down from public engagements at the age of 95, with the full support of the Queen.
He carried out 110 days of engagements in 2016, making him the fifth busiest member of the Royal Family - despite his age.
Here other nonagenarians reveal why they are still working and whether they plan on reaching Prince Philip's milestone.
Ella Towell, 90, works two days a week at the Claire House Children's Hospice charity shop in Mold, north Wales.
Her previous jobs included working in an engineering firm, a canteen and as a factory supervisor.
"I decided to start volunteering because I had a look around the Claire House Children's Hospice and was impressed with the nursing staff and I thought, 'Gosh, I'd like to help.'
"I spoke to the manageress of the shop in Buckley and she said, 'Get here now and get your coat off.' I worked every day there for six years.
"My family started grumbling at me that I was always in the shop and wanted to take me out so I decided to retire at 86. I had only stopped two weeks when the area manageress asked me to do two days a week in the Mold shop so I did.
"I still want to do it because of when I went to the hospice. The nurses and volunteers there should have Victoria Crosses.
"It's not difficult getting up and getting into the shop. I'm downstairs before five o'clock in the morning. I don't go to bed early but I've never needed that much sleep.
"I'm still active. My usual routine is get up, first big mug of tea with a tablespoon of whisky in it. I've done it for years and I haven't got arthritis.
"I serve customers behind the counter and I'm on the till at the shop. People aren't surprised I'm working at 90, they know what I'm like.
"I don't have any plans to give it up for good. I still feel I'm able to help the community at large, especially places like Claire House.
"Children's welfare interests me. If someone comes into the shop with a kiddy in a pushchair, I'm there pulling faces.
"If I can carry on until 95 I will do. You can never predict what your health will be like, but I hope so."
Irene Astbury, 90, works full time at Pet Food Supplies in Macclesfield, Cheshire.
She set up the shop with her late husband, Les, 36 years ago.
"We opened the shop on 9 March 1981 and took £9 that day. We thought, 'What have we let ourselves in for?' as it was slow to begin with.
"I've been coming to the shop for the last 36 years and don't know any different. It's not hard working 40 hours a week as it's what I know.
"People can't believe and are quite surprised when they hear I'm 90.
"I still serve a few customers and will answer the phone occasionally.
"I enjoy making everyone a cup of tea and toast at brew time and my three great-grandchildren, Evie (six), Isabelle (three) and Harry (one), come to the shop most days. I enjoy seeing them and playing 'shops' with the older two girls.
"I still enjoy working, even at my age. I enjoy meeting people and customers and talking to them as I'm interested in what they're all up to.
"I don't have any plans at all to retire. As long as my legs will still bring me to the shop I have no plans to stop working.
"My gran was 102 when she died so I have a long way to go yet.
"The secret to a long and active life is to keep going, enjoy it, along with good health.
"I can still see myself working up until the age of 95 just like Prince Philip did. Longer if I can."

"I choose to still work at the age 90 because it gives me something to get up for in the morning.
"I bind educational books in the mornings, and in the afternoon I deliver books and parcels to schools. I'm the errand boy in the afternoons.
"I like being busy and being around people, no-one can bind books as good as me.
"It's not difficult to get up for every morning for work. I am always up early.
"I could start later in a morning if I wanted to do, but I enjoy going to work and joining in with the staff and I love being with company.
"I don't want to retire, working is what keeps me going. I don't want to sit at home and do nothing.
"People can't believe I am still working at my age, they say it's brilliant.
"I love going to work every morning and it gives me a purpose in life.
"I can definitely see myself working until the age of 95. Unless I pop my clogs first."
Real set a Spanish record of 40 matches unbeaten in all competitions after a draw at Sevilla on Thursday to advance to the Copa del Rey last eight.
The La Liga leaders are away to second-placed Sevilla again on Sunday and face Napoli in the Champions League last-16 next month.
Real have not won La Liga since 2012.
It has taken 30 wins and 10 draws for Zidane's side to break the Spanish record Barcelona set in the 2015-16 campaign.
The 2016 Champions League winners have won eight of the past nine games in La Liga.
"Sunday will be yet another game where we will have to fight," said Zidane, whose side are four points clear at the top of the table with one game in hand.
"That is always going to be the case against Sevilla, who are tough opposition to face.
"It is no coincidence that they are second in La Liga, that is all down to their own hard work.
"I'm not sure what is going to happen on Sunday, but we will have to dig deep."
Steve Green from talent agency Artists International Management Inc confirmed to the BBC that he died at his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Tuesday.

Sledge had surgery for liver cancer in January 2014 but soon resumed touring.
Sledge's debut single When a Man Loves a Woman reached the top 10 twice in the UK and topped the US Billboard chart for two weeks in 1966, when it also got to number four in the UK chart.
During an interview for the the 2013 documentary Muscle Shoals, he recalled his first recording of it.
"When I came into the studio, I was shaking like a leaf. I was scared," he said, adding that it was the "same melody that I sang when I was out in the fields. I just wailed out in the woods and let the echo come back to me".
He told BBC Radio 6 Music's Craig Charles in a 2011 interview that he came up with the melody for When A Man Loves A Woman, but signed away the rights of the song to Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright, because "I didn't know any better".
"I had the melody in my mind so I gave that song to them," he said, adding they then created the lyrics.
Sledge did not contest the agreement, saying: "I felt like if God fixed it in my mouth to give it to them I won't change anything about it.
"I'm satisfied with what I wrote but I cut my kids out of so much because I gave it to someone else - I just wasn't thinking."
BBC Radio 2 DJ Tony Blackburn was among those paying tribute on Twitter, and said: "Sad to hear that Percy Sledge has died. I wonder how many times I've played When A Man Loves A Woman. RIP."
Musician Bootsy Collins paid tribute on his Facebook page with the words: "Just lost another legend funkateers, Mr Percy Sledge."
Paul Gambacini told the BBC that When a Man Loves a Woman was "one of the all time classic songs".
"This was the essence of soul, dripping with feeling. It never had a time, it was in a world of its own, so it was timeless," he added.
The track reached number two when it was re-released in the UK in 1987 after appearing in Oliver Stone's film Platoon, and was featured in several other films such as The Big Chill, The Crying Game and a 1994 Meg Ryan drama named after the song itself. It was also the soundtrack to a Levis advert in 1987.
It was the first US number one recorded at Alabama's Muscle Shoals studio, where Aretha Franklin and the Rolling Stones would later record.
The track also scored a first gold disc for Atlantic Records, whose executive Jerry Wexler called the song "a transcendent moment" and "a holy love hymn."
It remained Sledge's biggest hit and helped sustain a long touring career in the US, Europe and South Africa, averaging 100 performances a year. His other chart successes included Warm and Tender Love, It Tears Me Up and Take Time to Know Her.
The song found new life in 1991 when Michael Bolton's cover of the song topped the Billboard chart.
Before his music career, Sledge worked in the cotton fields around his hometown of Leighton in northwest Alabama, before taking a job as a hospital nurse in the early 1960s.
A patient heard him singing while he worked and recommended him to record producer Quin Ivy.
The singer was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 and was a member of the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.
He is survived by his wife and children.
The Staggies have a League Cup final against Hibernian and a Scottish Cup tie with Dundee United on the horizon.
But McIntyre held a meeting with his players before Saturday's win over Hamilton Academical to make sure they did not lose focus in the Premiership.
"It was a huge result for us," said McIntyre of the 2-1 victory.
"We had a meeting during the week as we know the importance of the next seven games before the [Premiership] split.
"That is one out of the way with a victory we know we needed if we are going to make it to the top six post-split.
"Of course we still need a few more to consolidate our place in there as we have been there all season.
"It would be a disaster for us if we were to fall out of it at this late stage but we know we are going to have to earn it.
"We don't have any given right to think because we have been there for so long that it is just going to happen so we need another positive result at home to Dundee United [in the league] next week."
Goals from Alex Schalk and Ian McShane gave fourth-placed Ross County only a second win from their last six league games to move eight points clear of second-bottom Kilmarnock.
McIntyre admits he feared the worst when Jamie Reckord was sent off for denying Dougie Imrie a clear goalscoring opportunity early in the second half.
However, he was pleased with the way they coped with the dismissal and battled their way to victory courtesy of McShane's sublime free-kick 12 minutes from time.
"The sending off changed the whole game and made it very difficult for us," McIntyre explained. "Jamie was in a good position but he didn't get on to the ball quickly enough.
"We have no complaints as it was a definite red card but the players battled manfully for the rest of the game and showed great spirit to get a winner.
"We knew we would have to defend stoutly in the situation and that's what the boys did so they deserve credit for the way they hung in there."
The result just piled on the frustration for Hamilton Accies manager Martin Canning as his side failed to take advantage of their superior numbers.
Imrie's sixth goal of the season hauled them level but despite overwhelming possession they could not turn it into only a second win in 11 games.
And they face Celtic on Friday for the first time since their 8-1 hammering by the league leaders last month.
"It was a very frustrating afternoon as there wasn't much in the first half and we completely dominated the second half only to end up with nothing," said Canning.
"I can't fault the players though as they put in a great effort, defended well and made a lot of chances.
"The most frustrating thing is that the free-kick they get their winner from isn't one as far as I'm concerned but there's nothing we can do about that.
"I think to give it was a mistake but on another day we would have gone on to win the match comfortably but we are not putting the ball in the net as much as we should be.
"When you are in the position we are then sometimes these things go against you but we will keep working hard.
"On that second-half performance especially you can see that there's not a lot wrong and we have to show that in all our games.
"We need to dust ourselves down and show that same spirit to go again on Friday to get a positive result against Celtic."
The comments follow press reports that Her Majesty was concerned about the prospect of Scottish independence.
It also follows a statement from First Minister Alex Salmond, who said the Queen "will be proud" to be the monarch of an independent Scotland.
The Palace insisted the referendum was "a matter for the people of Scotland".
A spokesman said: "The sovereign's constitutional impartiality is an established principle of our democracy and one which the Queen has demonstrated throughout her reign.
"As such the monarch is above politics and those in political office have a duty to ensure that this remains the case.
"Any suggestion that the Queen would wish to influence the outcome of the current referendum campaign is categorically wrong.
"Her Majesty is firmly of the view that this is a matter for the people of Scotland."
The BBC's royal correspondent Peter Hunt said he understands that the comments were made in response to calls for the Queen to speak out in favour of the union and not in response to Mr Salmond's remarks.
SNP leader Mr Salmond said he had an audience with the Queen at Balmoral Castle two weeks ago but would not say what was discussed.
He dismissed press reports that Her Majesty was concerned about the prospect of Scottish independence.
"I want the Queen as head of state, as Queen of Scots of an independent Scotland, as her ancestors were," he said.
Mr Salmond was speaking at a photocall outside St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh.
He said: "I think Her Majesty the Queen, who has seen so many events in the course of her long reign, will be proud to be Queen of Scots, and indeed we would be proud to have her as monarch of this land."
The first minister said he thought the statement released by Buckingham Palace regarding the Queen's neutrality was "a perfectly satisfactory and perfectly sensible" response to the press rumours about her concern.
Under the plans for independence outlined in the Scottish government's white paper, the Queen would remain head of state.
It says: "On independence Scotland will be a constitutional monarchy, continuing the Union of the Crowns that dates back to 1603, pre-dating the Union of the Parliaments by over one hundred years. On independence in 2016, Her Majesty The Queen will be head of state."
In this year's Queen's Speech at the state opening of the Westminster Parliament in June, Her Majesty said her government would proceed with plans to enhance the financial powers of the Scottish Parliament and would continue to "make the case for Scotland to remain a part of the United Kingdom".
Though the speech is delivered by the Queen, the content is written by the UK government of the day.
However, there is a precedent for the Queen commenting on a major issue that has constitutional implications.
In 1977, on the occasion of her Silver Jubilee, she informed both Houses of Parliament: "I cannot forget that I was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
The comments were widely interpreted as a royal rebuff to proposals for devolution to Scotland which foundered in 1979.
An address to the Scottish Parliament in 2002 was seen as a move away from the 1977 position.
Her Majesty warmly praised the relatively new devolved settlement, noting that MSPs were helping, with their work, to "strengthen the bonds that link the nations and regions of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and Europe".

Several websites offering fatwas have recently been blocked, following a decree by King Abdullah.
The decree was seen as an attempt to reduce controversial fatwas issued by minor or ultra-conservative clerics.
Some of these have been a serious embarrassment to the Saudi authorities.
The Saudi newspaper, Arab News, said Islam Today had closed its fatwa pages in order to avoid closure of the website by the authorities.
The decree restricts the right to issue fatwas - usually translated as religious edicts, but sometimes carrying the status merely of advice - to members of an officially approved council of Islamic scholars.
King Abdullah is known to favour reform, but he has faced opposition from conservative clerics and some members of the Saudi ruling family allied with the religious establishment.
Ultra-conservative clerics have sometimes used fatwas to publicly oppose what they see as attempts to Westernise their society.
There have also been a number of controversial fatwas that have embarrassed Saudi reformers.
In one such instance, clerics suggested that the Saudi prohibition on mixing of the sexes could be overcome if a man were symbolically to become a woman's child by sucking on her breast or drinking her breast milk.
In other cases, more liberal interpretations of Islam sparked counter-fatwas by conservatives, leading to what some commentators have described as fatwa chaos.
Islam Today gave no explanation for why it had closed its fatwa section. As of 1300 GMT on Thursday, the closure applied only to the website's more popular Arabic-language section and it was still possible to access the smaller fatwa archive in English.
Salman al-Awdah himself was once a controversial figure, a hardline cleric who was imprisoned in the 1990s for inciting opposition to the Saudi government.
He has since reinvented himself as a moderate figure and has become one of Saudi Arabia's most influential religious figures, with a wide following through the media although he has remained outside the government-backed religious establishment.
Structural engineers are trying to remove the vehicle following the incident on Thursday morning between Crick Road and Dinham Road in Caerwent.

Bavuma scored 113 in a total of 354-5 after South Africa were put in to bat, with Quinton de Kock contributing 82.
Ireland were bowled out for a 148 in reply, with Kevin O'Brien scoring 41 and Paul Stirling 40. JP Duminy was the pick of the bowlers with 4-16.
Ireland will face Australia at the same venue on Tuesday.
South Africa will then face the Australians in five one-day internationals, starting at Centurion on Friday.
Ireland were without experienced batsman Niall O'Brien, who slipped in his hotel bathroom on Sunday morning and suffered a head injury.
The South African team included three new caps. Bavuma, established as a middle-order batsman in the Test side, was given his chance as an opener in the absence of Hashim Amla.
All-rounders Andile Phehlukwayo and Dwaine Pretorius were newcomers to international cricket.
Ireland captain William Porterfield's decision to put the South Africans in to bat did not pay off as Bavuma and de Kock put on an opening partnership of 159.
Bavuma, who was dropped on one when he edged Peter Chase to Kevin O'Brien at second slip, took advantage of the let-off with a composed innings, reaching his 50 off 54 balls and his century off 110 deliveries. He was out 13 balls later after hitting 13 fours and a six.
Later, JP Duminy and Farhaan Behardien both hit rapid half-centuries to take South Africa to a total that always looked likely to be well beyond Ireland's reach.
On a slow pitch, South Africa struggled to increase their scoring rate in the middle overs. Duminy (52 not out) and Behardien (50) gave the innings impetus with a fifth-wicket stand of 87 off 40 balls. Their partnership ended when Behardien was caught on the boundary off the last ball of the innings.
Porterfield was out to Kagiso Rabada without scoring in the second ball of the Ireland innings and the visitors crumbled despite some stubborn resistance from O'Brien and Stirling.
Off-spinner Duminy completed a good all-round day by taking career best bowling figures.
Prof Calvin Jones, of Cardiff Business School, said uncertainty around Brexit and the Metro project could force the motorway over budget.
Not considering tolls was "absolute madness", he told a Newport public inquiry into the plan.
The Welsh Government has said a toll would be "unfair" and "unworkable".
A 14-mile (22.5km), six-lane motorway would relieve congestion between the current M4 junction 23A at Magor and junction 29 near Castleton, according to the Welsh Government.
Earlier in the inquiry, the CBI said ministers' preferred route - the so-called black route - would boost the Welsh economy by £2-3bn.
On Wednesday, Prof Jones, objecting on behalf of Gwent Wildlife Trust, said it was unfair Welsh taxpayers were paying for a road when many in England were set to benefit.
Bristol, Somerset and south Gloucestershire, are among the areas set to gain from the building of the six-lane motorway.
"I do not see why the poorest region in the UK should pay for the south of England," he said, "Wales are paying for them to have an easier life".
"If this road is genuinely useful, if it is of genuine value, people will pay for it. If it is not, people will not pay," he said.
"Tolls have not been raised before - it is madness, it should at least be a possibility".
The combination of infrastructure projects, including the South Wales Metro, Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon and electrification work, would put "significant strain" on the region's construction industry, he said.
This could lead to Wales having to source materials from the rest of the UK or Europe - and Brexit must be considered, he added.
He also claimed the road could actually deter new businesses investment to Wales - saying it breached the Well-Being of Future Generations Act, legislation designed to improve the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales.
"It may or may not be a bad road, but it is a decision made badly, and it seems we are being taken down a narrow path," he said.
Previously, the Welsh Government has said it had no plans to impose tolls on any roads.
A Welsh Government source said it was "an unworkable idea" and it "would be unfair for Wales to be expected to re-coup the money in this way".
The former farmer became the first man to break the two hours three minutes mark for a marathon on Sunday.
He was given a red carpet reception on his return to Nairobi airport.
The 30-year-old, who only started professional running five years ago, said he "didn't expect to break the world record".
He shook off fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai with just under three miles remaining to run 2:02:57.
Kimetto was adorned with flowers and garlands as he was taken on a victory tour of Kenya's capital.
He said: "I went to Berlin to just compete but I thank God that I have come back as a world record holder. It was a surprise."
The previous world record had been set on the same course 12 months ago by Kimetto's compatriot Wilson Kipsang, who ran 2:03:23.
Officers searched the Audi factory in Ingolstadt in Bavaria, and eight other locations, including parent company Volkswagen's headquarters in Wolfsburg.
The searches were carried out in order to identify those involved in installing the devices that cheated the diesel tests, Munich prosecutors said.
Audi-owner VW has already agreed to settlements of $21bn (£17bn) in the US.
The raid at Audi's sites coincided with the company's annual press conference, in which it reported pre-tax profits of 3bn euros (£2.6bn) for 2016, a 37% drop on the previous year. The firm also announced a new autonomous vehicles division.
In a statement, Audi said it was co-operating with authorities.
In September 2015, Audi admitted that more than two million of its cars were fitted with software that allowed for the manipulation of test.
Prosecutors from three German states said the raids were in connection to some 80,000 V6 3.0-litre diesel cars sold in the US between 2009 and 2015, whose buyers were unaware of the emissions scandal.
They added that the search warrants were carried out particular to "clarify which people were involved in applying the [manipulation] technology and in providing false information to third parties".
The 23-year-old was released by fellow National League side Southport this week after joining the Merseyside club from Shrewsbury in August.
He scored two goals in 24 appearances for the Sandgrounders.
Caton began his career at Blackpool in 2012, before joining Shrewsbury in 2014, and has had loan spells at several clubs including Lincoln, Wrexham and Accrington.

The "bold and moving" story about a juvenile delinquent is also the first French language opener since 2005.
The past decade has favoured big star-laden movies such as The Great Gatsby and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris.
Organisers admitted the "different" choice "may seem surprising".
La Tete Haute follows the story of a young delinquent called Malony from childhood through to adulthood. A children's judge (Deneuve) and social worker try to save him from himself.
"It is a clear reflection of our desire to see the festival start with a different piece, which is both bold and moving," said Cannes general delegate Thierry Fremaux.
"Emmanuelle Bercot's film makes important statements about contemporary society, in keeping with modern cinema. It focuses on universal social issues, making it a perfect fit for the global audience at Cannes."
The world premiere will open the festival on 13 May, with the film released in French cinemas on the same day. The festival's full line-up, or official selection, will be revealed on Thursday 16 April.
Diane Kurys was the last female director to open the festival in 1987, with her film A Man in Love starring Peter Coyote and Greta Scacchi.
Bercot has a history of debuting her work at Cannes, having won the Jury Prize for her short film Les Vacances in 1997.
Her first feature film Clement - in which she plays the main character - made the Un Certain Regard official selection in 2001 and she also co-wrote the script for Maiwenn's Polisse which won the Jury Prize at Cannes in 2011.
She has previously directed Deneuve in 2014's On my Way (Elle s'en va).
This year's Cannes jury is chaired by American directors Joel and Ethan Coen, while Isabella Rossellini chairs the Un Certain Regard category's jury. The festival runs from 13 to 24 May.
A special screening of Max Max: Fury Road, starring Tom Hardy, has already been confirmed for 14 May.

The US software giant paid $7.2bn (£5.5bn) for Nokia's handset business in 2014, but failed to make a success of new devices.
In May, Windows-powered smartphones accounted for fewer than 1% of global smartphone sales.
One industry analyst suggested the firm was too late to the market.
"They spent all that money because they recognised that the smartphone market was important," said Eddie Murphy, telecoms analyst at Priory Consulting.
"They were right - but just too late. Apple and Android devices have dominated the space and Windows hasn't made an impact."
One of the problems Microsoft faced was the so-called "app gap"- a shortage of popular titles appearing on its smartphones. The problem also blighted Blackberry's BB10 operating system.
"It was a tremendous problem," said Mr Murphy. "I have a lot of sympathy because I have a Windows phone and the number of apps is very small in comparison to Android. That was a real disadvantage for Microsoft."
The job losses were initially announced in May as part of a plan to close 1,850 posts in Microsoft's smartphone business.
The firm's latest operating system Windows 10 can still be used to power smartphones and in February computing giant HP announced a smartphone running Windows 10 that could transform into a desktop PC.
"I think they have looked at what Google did with Android. The dominance of the Android platform is because it is open and other companies can use it," said Mr Murphy.
"One of the things Microsoft has done is introduce the common Windows 10 platform, that allows apps to work across desktop, tablet and mobile. It's a good idea and hopefully one that will generate some new apps for the platform.
"I hope we haven't seen the last of Windows Phones. Having more platforms in the market is in the best interests of consumers."
The idea behind it is to encourage victims to come forward and talk about what's happening confidentially.
Folami Prehaye, the founder of a revenge porn support website (who was a victim herself) says something like this would have helped her at the time.
"I felt isolated and embarrassed by what had happened to me," she explains.
"If there had been a helpline around at least I could have talked to someone in confidence."
Revenge porn is when people upload explicit photos and videos of their ex-partners online without their consent.
Last year, charities - as well as one of the UK's leading online support groups - told Newsbeat that they're dealing with a rise in complaints about it.
The National Stalking Helpline, Women's Aid and the UK Safer Internet Centre all say the problem's become more common.
Used for blackmail
Figures obtained by the Press Association in September 2014 showed girls as young as 11 had been victims of revenge porn.
The majority of the perpetrators were male, with their subjects usually being young females.
Some shared images - sometimes recorded during the relationship - with the victims' family and friends, while others used the footage to blackmail them.
"I set up my website to offer support to victims who made contact with me, and to encourage other women to come forward," says Folami Prehaye.
"Now this helpline will help everyone that needs support and advice."
Later this year, England and Wales' new Criminal Justice and Courts Bill will make "the distribution of a private sexual image of someone without their consent and with the intention of causing them distress" illegal.
This will include images posted to social networks, as well as "offline" sharing via text messages.
Those convicted will face a maximum two-year jail sentence.
Equalities minister Nicky Morgan says: "I want to ensure that anyone who finds that they have had images of themselves shared without their consent has the support and advice that they need."
The helpline is run by the South West Grid for Learning charity on 0845 6000 459.

But they're not the only ones whose performance is being watched very closely.
30 boys and girls, known as ball kids, have been specially trained to be on court and around their edges during the biggest matches.
It's their job to keep the matches moving, making sure the players have enough balls, and that they get new ones quickly.
Ayshah went to a Barclays Ball Kids training camp in Southampton to see if she has what it takes to be one too.
Mr Trump said that "these words don't reflect who I am... I apologise".
In the video, Mr Trump says "you can do anything" to women "when you're a star" and brags about trying to grope and kiss women.
Top Republicans condemned the comments. His election rival Hillary Clinton called them "horrific".
"We cannot allow this man to become president," she posted on Twitter.
In the video, Mr Trump is heard saying, "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
"Certainly has been an interesting 24 hours!" Mr Trump wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
Mr Trump's 2005 comments overshadowed the release of transcripts of Mrs Clinton's speeches to private events, by the whistle-blowing site Wikileaks.
In the video, posted by the Washington Post, Mr Trump is heard bragging to TV host Billy Bush about trying to have sex with a married woman as well as kissing and groping others.
The clip was part of unaired footage of an Access Hollywood segment ahead of Mr Trump's appearance on the soap opera Days of Our Lives.
"I moved on her and I failed. I'll admit it," Mr Trump is heard saying. "She was married. And I moved on her very heavily.
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look."
Later in the conversation, he told Mr Bush he was "automatically attracted to beautiful" women and often tried to kiss them.
"I just start kissing them," he said. "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything."
Mr Trump's 90-second statement on Saturday morning appeared to be his first full apology in a campaign laced with controversial remarks.
"I've said and done things I regret," he said. "Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologise.
"I've never said I'm a perfect person nor pretended to be someone I'm not. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow."
However, he also tried to deflect the impact by attacking former President Bill Clinton.
"Bill Clinton has actually abused women, and Hillary has bullied, attacked and shamed his victims.
"We'll discuss this in the coming days," he said. "See you at the debate on Sunday."
The second TV debate between Mr Trump and Mrs Clinton will take place on Sunday evening in St Louis.
Mr Trump recently said he would not bring up stories about Bill Clinton's infidelities in the debate, after previously threatening to do so.
The latest opinion polls suggest Mrs Clinton is pulling ahead. Mr Trump will need a good performance at the debate to slow the trend.
Mr Trump has said the latest remarks are "nothing more than a distraction" and "locker-room banter".
Top Republicans have been incensed.
House Speaker Paul Ryan said he was "sickened by what I heard today" and rescinded his invitation to Mr Trump to attend the Republican Fall Fest in his home state of Wisconsin this weekend.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the comments were "repugnant," adding that Mr Trump "needs to apologise directly to women and girls everywhere".
Another senior Republican, John McCain, said there were "no excuses for Donald Trump's offensive and demeaning comments".
For his part, Billy Bush said he was "embarrassed" by and "ashamed" of the contents of the video.
"It's no excuse, but this happened 11 years ago. I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I'm very sorry."
The TV host is the first cousin of former President George W Bush.
Mrs Clinton's campaign released a video featuring the audio, playing over footage of women and girls.
The day after a video emerged in which he suggested he could have any woman he wants because he's a star and so could just grab them by the pussy, Mr Trump is in a whole ocean of hot political water.
Enough, quite possibly, to sink any chance he had of winning the White House.
There is a violence in the phrases "grab 'em by the pussy" and "you can do anything" that any victim of abuse would recognise and that most women would find sickening.
But this tape doesn't just offend women, judging from the reaction in the Republican party. It has offended a lot of men too. Whether those men will now withdraw their endorsements of him is yet to be seen.

At the nearby airfield is the biggest event in the aerospace-defence calendar, the biennial Farnborough International Airshow.
It is a must-do for decision-makers in the industry, no matter how much they may tell you in private that it's a chore.
"To have to be there might well be a pain in the butt, but the more important point is that not to be there can be both costly and potentially embarrassing," says analyst Howard Wheeldon, who is about to attend his 23rd Farnborough.
It is where Boeing and Airbus, and their airline customers, announce with great fanfare multi-billion-dollar aircraft orders.
And it is where official defence delegations, preferring a rather lower profile, come to observe the latest military hardware.
Farnborough is also a place where hundreds of small sub-contractors showcase cutting-edge technology or their latest widgets.
The event has a critical mass of customers, decision-makers and the world's media, says Ben Jensen, chief technology officer at Surrey NanoSystems.
The firm, a small Surrey University spin-off, is using Farnborough to unveil a special coating used on sensors, cameras or telescopes. The material protects against distortions from light and radiation, enhancing visibility on the battlefield or in deep space.
"Our potential customers are quite specialised and spread around the world, but at Farnborough they will all be in one place at the same time," Mr Jensen says.
At the top end of the corporate food chain is Lockheed Martin, the titan of the defence-aerospace-security industry.
The US company is due to display its new all-singing, all-dancing F-35 Lightning II fighter jet, which will be used on the Royal Navy's new aircraft carriers.
But an engine fire in the US grounded the entire F-35 fleet earlier this month, so there is a question mark over when, or if, the $60m-plus jet will make an appearance.
Yet, even if the F-35 is a no-show, Lockheed will still be displaying its missile defence shields, cyber-security and communications technologies, and air traffic management systems.
With some 90 government delegations due to visit the show, it was important for Lockheed to be out in force, according to the company's UK chief executive, Stephen Ball.
"Farnborough gives us a great opportunity to showcase our business to an international audience," he told the BBC.
For decades, Lockheed relied on defence spending in the US and Europe. But with budgets being cut, the firm is looking for more commercial opportunities as it diversifies into new areas.
That's why Lockheed, along with several major US contractors, has taken more space at Farnborough than in previous years. The competition to win the hearts and minds of potential customers is as intense as it has ever been.
"We are taking advantage of our participation to highlight the strength of our portfolio and ability to respond to the new reality," Mr Ball says.
And the US contingent will be supported by a big turn-out of top brass from the Pentagon and the US Defense Department.
Having largely ignored last year's Paris Airshow due to US budget cuts, there is a long list of senior officials making the journey to Farnborough.
It is a surprise, perhaps, that Farnborough retains this pulling power.
Years ago, the event was a showcase for the UK's once mighty domestic aerospace and defence industries to advertise their wares to the world.
But the industry's centre of gravity is moving eastwards as booming commercial airlines in the Gulf and Asia drive demand for aircraft.
Defence contractors, too, are looking to these regions for new business to offset military budget cuts in their domestic markets.
That is why rival, and much-respected, international airshows have sprung up in Dubai and Singapore.
And yet they still all come to Farnborough.
Qatar Airways is planning to show off three of its airliners at the show, including its brand new A350. Qatar was a launch customer of the all-new Airbus aircraft. Meanhwile, both Boeing and Airbus will be out in force, as usual. The Eurofighter Typhoon, Dassault's Rafale, and the Saab Gripen NG jets will be hoping to woo customers.
Interested in drones, military or civil? There will be plenty to see. There is also talk that the UK and France will use the show to announce further co-operation on drone development.
Russian companies, despite reports of executives facing visa problems because of Ukraine tensions, are planning a series of announcements and press conferences to promote deals and developments.
Perhaps the only major absence will be a significant Chinese presence, possibly due to the slow progress of its ambitions to create a domestic aircraft industry to break the Boeing-Airbus duopoly.
There have been complaints that the show is starting to look tired, set against some of the competition.
But Shaun Ormrod, chief executive of the organisers, Farnborough International Limited (FIL), insists that the figures speak for themselves.
Some 68% of the exhibitors are from overseas, against more more than 50% two years ago. In addition to companies exhibiting, almost 20 countries have taken their own stands, including some, such as Norway and Malaysia, for the first time.
"We've earned the right to call ourselves a truly international show," Mr Ormrod says.
There are also more UK small and medium-sized firms at the show, helped by a new government subsidy that contributes to the exhibition costs.
With support for UK manufacturing moving up the political agenda, the government is keener than ever to help.
It's worth remembering that the airshow is a money-making enterprise. FIL is a wholly owned subsidiary of ADS Group Limited, the trade body for the UK aerospace and defence sector.
The company must keep the trade and the public coming back for more. So there has been investment in new exhibition space and long-term deals have been agreed - including with the UK's GKN - to ensure companies return in the future.
It can cost several million pounds for a global aerospace contractor or airline to put on a big show at Farnborough, so FIL's customers want a big bang for their buck.
"As long as you can command the most senior players and military delegations then you will attract people and companies to Farnborough," says Mr Ormrod.
They set out from Selma, Alabama - the starting point 50 years ago for a march in support of watershed legislation enabling black people to vote.
Activists say a 2013 Supreme Court decision has allowed some states to reverse some of that progress.
They hope thousands will join a final rally in Washington DC in September.
America's Journey for Justice will take an 860-mile (1,385 km) route passing through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.
Organisers say the outcry triggered by the recent police killings, including the shooting of a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, needs to be channelled into a long-term commitment to bring about change, Reuters reports.
"We can continue to be serially outraged, or we can engage in an outrageously patriotic demonstration with a commitment to bringing about reform in this country," said Cornell William Brooks, leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Marchers sang as they crossed the Edmund Pettus bridge, where state troopers beat activists protesting about the death of a black man at the hands of a white police officer in March 1965.
That event, and a follow-up march from Selma to Montgomery led by Martin Luther King helped build momentum for Congress' approval of the Voting Rights Act that removed all barriers preventing African-Americans from registering as voters.
In March, President Barack Obama visited Selma to pay tribute to the original marchers.
He called them "heroes" and said that they had "given courage to millions".
Despite progress, he said, the fight against racism was not over.
"This nation's long racial history still casts its long shadow upon us. We know the march is not yet over, the race is not yet won," the president said.
He also condemned new attempts by state governments to restrict voting rights.

They have paid a world-record fee for Tomkins, eclipsing the £450,000 that Wigan spent on Stuart Fielden in 2006.
A switch to rugby union had been a possibility for the full-back, who is England's all-time leading try scorer.
2008: Scores five tries on Wigan Warriors debut in Challenge Cup tie against Whitehaven.
2009: Named in Super League's Dream Team for the first time. Scores three tries on international debut for England against Wales.
2010: Scores in Grand Final win against St Helens as Wigan claim their first title since 1998. Equals England record for tries in a single Test match, crossing four times against France.
2011: Plays in Wigan's Challenge Cup win over Leeds Rhinos at Wembley. Signs new five-year contract on the same day his older brother Joel swaps codes to join Saracens. Makes first rugby union appearance, playing on the wing for Barbarians against Australia at Twickenham.
2012: Wins League Leaders' Shield with Wigan. Ends season with 36 tries and is voted Super League's Man of Steel for the first time. Becomes England's all-time leading try scorer.
2013: Equals club record by scoring in 11 consecutive matches for Wigan. Scores last-minute try in Wigan's Challenge Cup final win against Hull FC at Wembley. Named in Super League's Dream Team for fifth year in succession.
But Tomkins, has agreed a three-year deal with a club that finished 11th of 16 teams in Australia's domestic league.
The 24-year-old's move has been confirmed ahead of the upcoming World Cup, at which Tomkins will be crucial to England's chances of success on home soil, and at the DW Stadium on Friday.
Wigan, who have also announced that full-back Matt Bowen, 31, has joined from North Queensland Cowboys as a direct replacement, will have first refusal to sign Tomkins if he chooses to return to Super League in the future.
"This has been a very difficult decision to make but it is now perfect timing for me to make the switch to the NRL," said Tomkins. "It is something in my career I have always wanted to do and this agreement with the Warriors also allows me to return back to Wigan in the future.
"I head to New Zealand with some great memories of Grand Final and Challenge Cup success and some very special times.
"Going to Auckland is a huge step for me and my rugby league career but one I am really looking forward to. I want to end my time with further success with Wigan as we aim for Grand Final glory, and then with England as we focus on winning the World Cup on home soil."
Wigan head coach Shaun Wane said he was excited for Tomkins, describing the full-back as a "great kid".
"For all his plus points, the main one is that he's competitive," Wane told BBC Radio 5 live. "The Warriors will get someone who wants to win and he'll be very vociferous in the changing room.
"He's one of my leaders. They'll get a competitive player who will challenge the coaching staff because he wants to get better. They have a fantastic player in Sam Tomkins."

Writing in his column for a local newspaper in June 2012, Tomkins had said a move to the NRL later in his career was while he refused to clarify his future in an interview with BBC Sport immediately after in August.
Tomkins, who has scored 144 tries in 150 appearances for the Cherry and Whites, had to run.
England-born players moving to NRL clubs has become an increasingly common occurrence in recent years and the number is set to grow further in 2014, with and as well as Leeds Rhinos teenagers among those heading to Australia.
But there is expected to be huge interest in how Tomkins fares in the southern hemisphere, given his status as one of the star attractions in world rugby.
He burst onto the scene in 2008 when, as a 19-year-old, he became the first player in the sport's history to score five tries on their first-team debut in a Challenge Cup tie against Whitehaven.
Tomkins, who has played alongside brothers Joel and Logan during his time with the Warriors, has been a regular in the Wigan side since his Super League debut in 2009 and has been
Among his domestic honours are two Challenge Cup final victories (2011 and 2013) and a Super League Grand Final win (2010), while he is also England's all-time leading try scorer with 16 in 15 appearances.
Jonathan Kovacik is accused of shooting Rosalynde Pitcher in the temple with a pellet after she told him they were not going to have a long term relationship.
Mr Kovacik, 58, from the Isle of Wight, told Portsmouth Crown Court he had no recollection of the attack on the 21-year-old.
He denies wounding Ms Pitcher with intent.
He also denies possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, having an article with a blade or point, and possessing an air gun with intent to cause fear of violence.
Mr Kovacik, who is from Shanklin, told the court he had fallen in love with Ms Pitcher and promised to give her £50,000 if she stopped taking drugs and working in the sex industry.
He also gave her £6,000 to pay for a breast enlargement operation.
On 12 December, while at her flat he said he was confronted by her father Lee Pitcher, who accused him of making her pregnant.
Mr Pitcher was allegedly "abusive and aggressive" and threatened to kill him, leaving Mr Kovacik in a "state beyond terrified".
Five days later, Mr Pitcher punched him in the face and body several times, he said.
On 20 December, Mr Kovacik went to see Ms Pitcher again to clear the air.
He said he took an air pistol and a knife for self defence, as he was scared Mr Pitcher would be there.
He said: "Rose turned round and said to me 'I am not on my own, he's in the bathroom'."
He was then "overcome with blind terror [and] panic" and drew the gun.
It turned out to be another man who ran away, Mr Kovacik said.
"I turned back to Rose and said 'I just want to know why, I thought you loved me'.
"Her reply: 'I can't believe you fell for that, we were never going to get together, it was never going to happen.'"
Mr Kovacik claims not to remember what happened next, but recalls driving away in his car and calling police with the aim of committing suicide by being shot by them.
He was arrested in the ensuing confrontation.
He said: "I had voices saying to get the police to shoot me, that is the solution.
"They didn't seem to be shooting me despite my best efforts to make them do so."
The trial continues.
Ulster defeated the French side in last week's game at Kingspan Stadium but the scrum was creaking, especially after front row switches in the second half.
"We weren't scrummaging as a unit.
"Some people were going off on their own and scrummaging as individuals, it's something we need to improve upon," McCall told BBC Sport NI.
Clermont came from 21 points down and scored two converted tries to pick up two losing bonus points in the 39-32 defeat.
The result left Clermont still in charge of Pool 5, three points ahead of both Ulster and Bordeaux-Begles.

McCall admitted allowing Clermont to leave Belfast with two bonus points took the gloss off one of their best displays of the season.
"We know it was a good performance, but it wasn't a finished performance.
"We let them back into it and we weren't happy with that.
"If we can go over there and tighten up our defence and show that attacking threat that we have, hopefully we can do a job.
"We haven't been overly happy with our defence at times. We've been slipping off a few tackles here and there and we need to tighten up on that going over there especially.
"It'll be tough, but we need to tighten up on our defence."
The artists mostly supported the Republican side, which had been ejected from power by General Franco. Most of the artists are dead - but painter Ursula McCannell can recall the Spain she encountered as a teenager in 1936.
Simon Martin has curated the exhibition Conscience and Conflict: British Artists and the Spanish Civil War.
"It puzzles me that no-one has done the show before," says Martin. "It's fairly easy to discover how writers like George Orwell or WH Auden or Laurie Lee reacted to the Spanish crisis. But what Britain's painters and sculptors did is less well known."
Given that the civil war ended in 1939, it's remarkable that the Pallant House Gallery in Chichester has pictures on the walls by a living artist, painted just after she returned from a country in the early stages of war.
McCannell was 13 at the time. Today, at 91, she still paints at her home in Surrey.
Her father was Otway McCannell, a painter and teacher. As with many intellectual British families in the 1930s there was much discussion at home of the growing crisis in Madrid.
She remembers her father worrying about the pressure the Republican government was under from the Nationalists under General Franco. Later in the war he would plot the two sides' changing fortunes on a big map of Spain, despairing as the Republicans lost control.
"Every Thursday we had Left Book Club meetings at our house and there would be people talking about Spain and politics. In truth, when we went to Torremolinos in 1936, it was partly to stay with a school friend. But I remember the suffering of the local people clearly. The sense of unease was obvious, even to a young person like me."
One of McCannell's paintings on show is Family of Beggars. "I didn't paint or sketch in Torremolinos, which in those days was just a sleepy little village and totally unlike how it is now. I started the paintings when we got back to England. There were quite a lot of them but I sold some.
"In fact the beggars were outside the cathedral at Malaga. They were a pathetic sight but my parents thought I ought to see everything.
"When we got back I was interviewed by newspapers including the Daily Mail. They were fascinated that a 13-year-old had painted pictures of the Spanish poor. I wasn't painting the conflict as such, but they said I'd portrayed the suffering of refugees well. You couldn't help being moved."
McCannell is among the last artistic witnesses to the crisis of Spanish politics in the 1930s. Martin has selected around 100 other works to give an overview of how British art responded.
"Artists had seen the rise of Fascism in Germany but there was no political debate in Germany: the Nazis had simply crushed the opposition.
"Spain was different and at first it seemed the elected Republican government might be able to fight back. So British artists felt it worthwhile to take sides. Though it's true that only a few of the painters went to Spain once the conflict was underway: the poets did a bit better in that regard.
"But the very first British volunteer to die in Spain was an artist: Felicia Browne. She was killed during fighting in August 1936 and became a heroine for many in British art.
"In fact it became very difficult for artists and others to get to Spain: they would be denied visas. Well-known names such as Henry Moore and Jacob Epstein tried to go but couldn't. It's hard to think of artists today seeking to enter a dangerous war-zone: it's something we associate more with photo-journalism.
"People often assume all artists were anti-Franco and indeed modernist artists usually were. But there were exceptions: the artist Wyndham Lewis was more sympathetic to the Nationalists, as we make clear.
Martin says one of the most interesting paintings is Clive Branson's Demonstration in Battersea.
"Branson came from a fairly well-off background and in the 1930s became a Communist. He was one of the few British artists who actually did fight in Spain with the International Brigade. When he was taken prisoner he did some quite well-known pictures of the camp he was in.
"But the Battersea picture has a real flavour of London politics in the 1930s. The painting features the Union Jack, a Spanish flag and a red Communist banner.
And someone is reading the Daily Worker, which was the Communist newspaper of the time. It's a record of a moment in political history."
The Pallant House exhibition is essentially about the work of British artists responding to events in Spain. But Martin has made an exception for Picasso's well-known painting Weeping Woman, which belongs to the Tate.
"It's a picture of Picasso's lover Dora Marr, painted in 1937. But I felt we needed to at least hint at how important Picasso was at that time for British artists.
"In 1938 Picasso's great classic Guernica was brought to England by the artist Roland Penrose. It shows the German bombing of the Basque town of Guernica, done at Franco's request: it became a rallying point for those who detested Franco and the Fascists.
"Of course it would have been lovely to bring the original from Madrid but that might be a little impractical: so Weeping Woman can take its place."
One of the most chilling pictures is Premonition, by German artist Walter Nessler. It seems to ask, as early as 1937, what would happen if the Germans ever bombed London.
Other artists in the exhibition include Henry Moore, Edward Burra and E McKnight Kauffer, best known for his poster work.
Martin says it's fascinating how many of them draw on the imagery of Spain's Old Masters. "Look around the walls and you'll see an influence of Velazquez here and there. And certainly Ursula McCannell was aware of the work of El Greco - which for a teenager was pretty remarkable."
He says he'll be delighted if his show makes visitors more aware of the political engagement of the artists of the 1930s.
"Someone like Henry Moore now seems an establishment figure but this show will remind people that these artists were once young and politically engaged. It was a time when culture and politics intersected - it's a rich and fascinating moment in art."
Conscience and Conflict: British Artists and the Spanish Civil War runs until 15 February 2015 at Pallant House, Chichester.
They grab the attention - which is of course the aim of a headline - but talk of a breakthrough is premature.
The Sunday Times reported that a British man with HIV was receiving a prototype therapy designed to eradicate the virus from his body.
Early tests from the clinical trial have apparently shown no signs of the virus in his blood.
That may sound astonishing unless you know that conventional antiretroviral therapy (ART) - which the patient was also taking - already reduces HIV to undetectable levels.
Sarah Fidler, Prof of HIV Medicine at Imperial College London, who is leading the trial, told me: "All the participants are taking antiretrovirals and so will have an undetectable viral load, which shows the great success of current treatment."
It does indeed. HIV medication has turned the infection from a death sentence to a chronic, manageable condition, which is remarkable.
The limitation of ART is that it cannot eliminate HIV.
The virus remains dormant in some immune cells and will start replicating if patients stop taking their medication.
That's why antiretrovirals must be taken for life.
The RIVERS trial - which stands for Research in Viral Eradication of HIV Reservoirs - is trying to rid the virus completely from the body.
'Kick and kill'
So far, 39 out of a total of 50 patients have been recruited to the trial. All will receive ART but half will also be given a drug which forces the virus to emerge from hiding places in the body. These chosen patients will also receive two vaccines which aim to boost the immune system so that it can attack HIV-infected cells.
The strategy is called "kick and kill".
The anonymous patient quoted in the newspaper article is simply the first of the participants to have completed the kick and kill treatment.
No results are expected until 2018.
The trial is being conducted by a consortium of research teams at Imperial and King's College, London, Oxford and Cambridge Universities and University College London.
The partnership began six years ago, and set out to search for a cure for HIV.
Mark Samuels, managing director of the National Institute for Health Research Office for Clinical Research InfraÂstructure, which set up the medical consortium, told me: "This is an unprecedented collaboration and to get to clinical trials in six years shows remarkable progress."
So how will the researchers know whether their trial has been a success?
This will take some time and involve detailed analysis of blood samples from volunteers.
Viral reservoir
John Frater, Prof of Infectious Disease at Oxford University, told me: "We will carry out a very targeted genetic test to look for HIV lying dormant within immune cells."
All the trial volunteers are newly infected HIV patients which means they will have a small viral reservoir and their immune system will not have been repeatedly damaged by the virus.
If it is possible to cure HIV, these patients represent the easiest target.
But even if the trial is a complete success, caution will be required in interpreting the results because it may not work in long-standing HIV patients.
Dr Michael Brady, medical director Terrence Higgins Trust told me: "In test tubes it has been shown that you can drive the virus out of dormant cells, but we will have to wait and see whether it works in patients.
"Even if it works we can't talk about a cure for everyone and there would need to be bigger trials."
To date, only one person appears to have been cured of HIV infection.
Timothy Ray Brown, the so-called Berlin patient, received a bone marrow transplant from a donor with natural immunity to the virus.
However, bone marrow transplants are potentially dangerous and so not an approach that is recommended.
Earlier this year I reported on a gene editing trial in California involving 80 HIV patients.
They had immune cells in their blood removed and editing to try to mimic the gene mutation which gives some people a natural immunity to HIV.
One of the volunteers, Matt Chappell, has been off all antiretroviral medication for two years since having his immune cells gene edited.
These were small trials so caution is needed before reading too much into the results, but they are nonetheless promising.
The British trial is taking a different approach but with the same aim - trying to free patients from the need to take daily medication.
But talk of cures is premature. | In the fourth of our summer series looking at political parties, BBC Wales' Tomos Livingstone examines the Welsh Liberal Democrats.

Shanay Walker's aunt and grandmother were jailed for child cruelty in 2015.
Coroner Mairin Casey told Nottingham Coroner's Court "information was withheld" months before she died.
It is thought at least 10 safeguarding referrals were made about Shanay. A post-mortem report showed she had more than 50 injuries to her body.
Updates on this story and more from Nottinghamshire
Mrs Casey said: "There is evidence that information was withheld from the local authority in the months before she died.
"Communication channels failed miserably between the school, local authority and health professionals."
Dr Emma Fillmore, a consultant paediatrician told the inquest she had no contact with the seven-year-old, but gave an overview of the case.
She said, given the evidence of her injuries, all the professionals involved should have met to discuss it and that such a meeting would happen now.
Lisa Hyland, of Southglade Primary School, said she had suspicions someone was "deliberately causing injuries" to Shanay, the inquest had heard.
The assistant head teacher, who taught Shanay a year before her death, said she reported her concerns on six occasions.
A trial at Nottingham Crown Court heard Shanay was placed in her aunt Kay-Ann Morris's care after her mother, Leanne Walker, suffered post-natal depression.
Shanay died of a brain injury at a house in Nottingham while in the care of Morris in July 2014.
Morris, of Beckhampton Road, was cleared of murder but both she and grandmother Juanila Smikle were convicted of "about the worst case" of child cruelty.
Morris was jailed for eight years. Smikle, of Easegill Court, was found guilty of cruelty at a retrial and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The inquest continues.
Google Maps now refers to the reef by its international name, Scarborough Shoal. Previously, the area was also named as part of the Zhongsha Islands.
Both China and the Philippines claim the shoal and its rich fishing grounds.
The Philippines has filed a case against China's claims at a UN tribunal - but Beijing has refused to take part.
Google Maps removed the Chinese name from the reef following an online petition that said the name gave credence to China's claims to the shoal, known as Huangyan Island by China and Panatag Shoal by the Philippines.
Scarborough Shoal was the scene of a tense stand-off between the Philippines and China in early 2012, when vessels from the two countries refused to leave the area for a number of weeks.
"We understand that geographic names can raise deep emotions which is why we worked quickly once this was brought to our attention," Google said in a statement emailed to the BBC.
Google's policy on disputed regions say that it considers "guidance from authoritative references, local laws and local market expectations", and strives to include "all points of view where there are conflicting claims".
China claims ownership of large parts of the South China Sea, including the Scarborough Shoal, which lie a little more than 100 miles (160km) from the Philippines and 500 miles from China, and the Spratly Islands.
Last week, a United Nations tribunal in the Hague began deliberations on whether it can hear a legal challenge over territorial claims in the South China Sea.
The Philippines filed the case at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2013, but China has refused to take part in the proceedings.
Even if the Philippines is successful in its attempts to pursue China at the UN tribunal, China would not be obliged to abide by the ruling.
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said on Tuesday that China "will never accept the unilateral attempts to turn to a third party to solve the disputes", and urged the Philippines to negotiate with China directly.
Aside from the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan also have competing claims with China over various islands, reefs and shoals in the region.
The Department of Commerce said it will impose tariffs of between 14.78% to 15.97% on Chinese firms.
This compares with an earlier level of between 2.9% and 4.73% it announced in March.
China has criticised the move saying it will hurt trade relations and will provoke trade friction.
"The US is provoking trade friction in the new energy sector, and sending a negative signal to the world that stirs global trade protectionism and obstructs the sector's development," Shen Danyang, spokesman for China's Commerce Ministry was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.
The export of solar cells and solar panels has been a contentious issue between the US and China.
The US-based manufacturers of these products have alleged that government subsidies provided to Chinese firms have helped them cut their prices and flood the market with cheap products.
In its latest report, the Department of Commerce concluded that Chinese firms were selling products in the US at rates below fair value, a practice know as "dumping".
It said it would levy anti-dumping duties against these firms.
However, the department added that it would issue the orders for the anti-subsidy tariffs and anti-dumping duties once the US International Trade Commission (ITC) affirmed that these practices were hurting US firms.
The ITC is expected to announce its decision on the matter by 23 November.
Timothy Brightbill, a legal representative for SolarWorld Industries Americas, one of the firms that has been the most vocal opponent of Chinese companies, said it would keep up the pressure on authorities to implement strict measures.
"In our view, all Chinese cells and all Chinese modules are dumped and subsidised," he said.

British hopes were ended when Thomas crashed on the final descent, after Froome and Adam Yates had failed to stay with the leaders.
Thomas still finished the race as the best-placed British rider, in 11th.
Froome, who was 12th, goes for gold again in Wednesday's time trial, hoping to better his bronze at London 2012.
A thrilling finish saw Van Avermaet win the sprint to the line, leaving Denmark's Jakob Fuglsang to take silver and Poland's Rafal Majka bronze.
Yates came home in 15th while the other British riders, Ian Stannard and Steve Cummings, did not finish.

Before the race Froome had described the picturesque 237.5km road-race route as the most brutal course in Olympic history, but the three-time Tour de France winner's challenge did not falter until the final 20km.
By then, fewer than 40 of the 144 starters were left in contention after almost six hours of racing but Britain's riders remained well placed, with Thomas part of a six-man lead group that had opened up a 30-second gap on what was left of the peloton.
Froome and Adam Yates were back in that pack along with pre-race favourites Alejandro Valverde of Spain and Italy's Vincenzo Nibali, who was waiting to make his move.
It came on the penultimate descent of Vista Chinesa when Nibali bridged the gap. Yates got across too but was dropped early on the final set of ascents when the race completely split and Froome was left with too much work to do.
Thomas was left as Britain's last chance of a medal but did not have the legs to stay with the three leaders - Nibali, Colombia's Team Sky rider Sergio Henao and Majka.
That trio looked set to contest the medals until the final descent when Nibali and Henao both crashed out, with Thomas sliding off the road soon afterwards.
Majka was left clear but could not hold off Fuglsang or Van Avermaet, who won the sprint to the line along the Copacabana.
"Crazy day out there today! Team GB were amazing all day. So gutted for Geraint Thomas crashing when he did," Froome tweeted.
Thomas also tweeted: "Thanks for all the messages guys. Gutted to end like that, with it all the play for!!!"
Three of Britain's five riders were involved at the front of the race until almost the very end and the other two, Stannard and then Cummings, had sacrificed their individual chances to haul in an early breakaway.
Olympic gold medallist and BBC cycling co-commentator Chris Boardman said: "We did not win a medal because ultimately we did not have the legs for it but, tactically, that was the best Olympic road race I have seen from the British team, so hats off to them.
"They gave themselves plenty of options rather than concentrating on one rider, and used them superbly. All five rode a tough course fantastically well and I was really impressed by how they managed their resources.
"Thomas did a phenomenal job, the whole team did. Britain's best rider was expected to be Froome but for me Thomas would have been the better sprinter if it had come to that."
British coach Rod Ellingworth said: "Looking at Geraint there he was proper, proper disappointed. He knew that was a proper gold medal chance.
"He's all right. He's fallen heavy, he's got plenty of skin off, but he's okay, I think.
"I knew from the test event that descent was going to perhaps be a deciding factor in the race. And it was.
"When you think about how many riders crashed round there it was pretty mad really."

The Apple 1 was one of the first 50 built by Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in Jobs' parents' garage.
The computer - consisting only of a motherboard, signed by Mr Wozniak - went to an anonymous buyer from Asia.
Last year, an Apple 1 sold for 490,000 euros (£418,000; $633,000).
Only about 200 Apple 1s were ever made. About 46 remain in existence, but only six of those are still in working order.
Bob Luther, author of The First Apple, called the Apple 1 the "holy grail of collectable technology".
The one sold at auction in the German city of Cologne on Saturday was purchased together with an original monitor, tape-player and keyboard. The documentation was signed by Steve Jobs.
Tydfil Jenkins, 80, was pronounced dead at the scene after the crash on Bethania Street in Maesteg, just after 17:00 GMT on Tuesday.

The man, 34, remains in custody.
The military has been in charge since a coup last year and an election was expected in the middle of 2016.
But a constitution re-drafted after the takeover is now to be put to the public.
Meanwhile, Yingluck Shinawatra, forced to step down as PM before the coup, is on trial on charges of negligence.
Thailand has seen almost a decade of divisive political conflict.
The military had ruled out a referendum, planning instead to seek opinion from a thousand selected respondents in each of Thailand's 77 provinces.
But a referendum has now been agreed. Before it can take place a committee meeting on 6 August needs to approve the draft constitution.
Once that has happened it will be at least three to six months before the referendum can take place, partly because 47 million copies of the constitution will need to be distributed to the public.
That could mean no election until the second half of 2016.
The draft constitution's contentious elements include:
Critics say the constitution is aimed at preventing the return of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra who was ousted in 2006, after being accused of corruption. He now lives in self-imposed exile.
Thailand's Constitutional Court forced his sister Ms Yingluck from office in early May 2014 after finding her guilty of abusing her power. Weeks later, the military seized power saying it needed to restore order following months of street protests.
The Shinawatras, or parties allied to them, have won every Thai election since 2001.
Their opponents accuse them of cronyism, corruption and financially ruinous policies.
Meanwhile, Ms Yingluck's trial on charges of dereliction of duty over her role in a controversial rice subsidy scheme has started. She pleaded not guilty.
The scheme paid rice famers in rural areas - where her party has most of its support - twice the market rate for their crop, in a programme that cost the government billions of dollars.
Ms Yingluck says she was not involved in the scheme's day-to-day operations and has defended it as an attempt to support the rural poor.
In January, she was retroactively impeached for her role in the scheme. She was also banned from politics for five years.
She told crowds outside the court in Bangkok she would prove her innocence.
Ms Yingluck maintains the charges she faces are intended to keep her out of politics. The next hearing in the trial has been scheduled for 21 July.
Her brother, Mr Shinawatra made a rare public appearance in South Korea earlier saying he believed "democracy will prevail" in Thailand.
In a decision that has caused outrage among Jewish and Muslim groups, the court said that a child's right to physical integrity trumps religious and parental rights.
The case involved a doctor who carried out a circumcision on a four year-old that led to medical complications.
Thousands of Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in Germany every year.
Although male circumcision - unlike female circumcision - is not illegal in Germany, the court's judgement said the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents".
Circumcision, it decided, contravenes "interests of the child to decide later in life on his religious beliefs".
The doctor involved in the case was acquitted and the ruling is not binding, but correspondents say it sets a precedent that would be taken into account by other German courts.
The president of Germany's Central Council of Jews, Dieter Graumann, called it "an unprecedented and dramatic intervention in the right of religious communities to self-determination".
He urged the country's parliament to clarify the legal situation "to protect religious freedom against attacks".
Male circumcision is part of the ancient religious rituals of both the Jewish and Muslim faiths, as well as the traditions of some tribal groups.
In some countries, such as the United States, it is also not uncommon for parents to request that young boys are circumcised for health reasons.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Germany says it is unclear what the next legal step will be, but this issue is a moral and political minefield.
But could the spring perennial hold the key to future antibacterial, antiparasitic and anti-cancer treatments?
Daffodils have already provided a compound used in an Alzheimer's disease drug, galantamine.
BBC Wales spoke to scientists at Bangor University who are now trying to isolate more disease-fighting compounds from the nation's favourite bulb.
Dr Patrick Murphy, an organic chemist, said his work with daffodils tends to generate more public interest than some of his other research areas.
"I think people can relate to daffodils. Everybody has seen daffodils growing in the spring," he said.
"My other areas of research are working on natural products isolated from marine sources, so sponges and bacteria, and I think these might appear less attractive."
The daffodil was introduced as an emblem of Wales in the 19th Century and popularised by Prime Minister David Lloyd George. The flower, which is often worn on St David's Day, is also commercially grown in mid Wales.
Dr Murphy and his team are hoping to isolate compounds called alkaloids in the flower for medical purposes.
He said: "The alkaloids people might know of tend to be the ones that have a powerful spectrum of activity within humans, for example, alkaloids such as caffeine (tea/coffee), nicotine (tobacco) or morphine (poppies).
"We're interested in alkaloids from daffodils and one quite well-known one is galantamine. This is a compound which has been isolated previously and used for treatment of early-stage Alzheimer's disease.
"We're interested in, not just this compound, but other compounds, which have not been exploited to a wide range because of a lack of available amounts of them.
"So, we hope to isolate larger amounts of these alkaloids for use in biological-activity studies."
The problem is it can often be quite difficult to isolate the compounds without impurities arising during the process.
"But we've found a relatively straight-forward way of doing it without involving too much expense," Dr Murphy said.
"That's often the sticking point, keeping the costs down to a minimum. So, we're quite pleased with where we are at the moment."
The team is looking at compounds from a common variety of the classic yellow daffodil sold in supermarkets.
Dr Murphy said: "There is a reliable variety that produces the major compound of interest. What we're trying to do is to take the waste from the our commercial partner's galantamine production and to actually get something from the waste rather than throwing it away."
But how close is the team's work to creating a viable treatment?
"That's a bit of a long way in the distance - it takes a long time to develop a compound from isolation to use in humans," Dr Murphy explained.
"But it would be interesting to isolate these compounds and to test them for ranges of activity such as antibacterial activity, antiparasitic activity and various other disease, possibly antiviral [or] anti-cancer activities."
Kittel finished ahead of compatriot John Degenkolb, with Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen third on Tuesday's 178km stage from Perigueux to Bergerac.
It was the 29-year-old's 13th Tour stage win, taking him one ahead of Erik Zabel's German record of 12.
Froome claimed his 50th yellow jersey.
French pair Elie Gesbert and Yoann Offredo launched an early break, but their lead of more than five minutes was reined in with a little under 7km to go.
Kittel's power in the bunch sprint could not be matched, as the Quick-Step Floors rider beat Degenkolb by more than a bike length to extend his lead in the points classification.
Degenkolb said after the stage that Kittel was from "another planet" and he certainly seems peerless in the race this year, winning four of the five bunch sprints he has contested.
Kittel found the wheel of Britain's Dan McLay close to the finish and catapulted beyond his rivals with such ease that he was able to raise his arms in victory salute as he crossed the line.
The 29-year-old also won four stages in 2013 and 2014 but looks well placed to beat his previous best - and could even achieve that on Wednesday with another sprint finish expected at the end of the road to Pau.
Mark Cavendish, who crashed out of this year's race after tangling with Peter Sagan, won six stages in 2009 and it is very possible that Kittel could at least equal that tally given he has also won twice previously on the Champs Elysees in Paris.
"I can't really believe it," Kittel told ITV4. "To win four in one Tour, it is super nice. I'm really, really happy.
"I feel like I live in a small little bubble in a small little world and it cannot be true."
The victory for Kittel saw him extend his lead at the top of the sprinters' green jersey standing to 102 points over Australia's Michael Matthews.
The race resumed on Tuesday after the rest day and it was arguably the most pedestrian and incident-free stage so far.
Froome could be seen happily chatting to other riders as the main group criss-crossed the Dordogne on the road to Bergerac and there were no alarms for the Team Sky rider, who ended by claiming the 50th yellow jersey of his career after finishing in the bunch.
"It was quite relaxed as far as Tour de France flat stages go," said Froome. "It is another day out of the way."
There was no change at the top of the general classification standings. Briton Simon Yates retains the white jersey worn by the best rider under 25 and Frenchman Warren Barguil kept the King of the Mountains polka dot jersey.
The Pyrenees loom on the horizon - the race gets there on Thursday - but it should be another day for a bunch sprint on Wednesday.
The stage takes us 203.5km from Eymet to Pau and with one intermediate sprint and one category four climb.
Would anyone bet against another win for Kittel right now?

The blogging site says that The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies has been the most popular with more than 500,000 downloads since being uploaded 24 hours ago.
Other films which have appeared online include American Sniper and Selma.
The site said, according to its sources, the high-quality 'screeners' seemed to come from three sources.
Some of the films have yet to be released in both the UK and US.
Big Eyes, Into The Woods and Unbroken are also believed to have been leaked online.
Nominated in the best film category for this year's Bafta awards, The Imitation Game and Birdman are also thought to have been hacked.
Oscar nominations are announced next week (15 January), with the actual awards ceremony taking place on 22 February.

Much of the area lies in rubble, with shattered statues and a ziggurat reduced to a fraction of its size.
IS circulated video footage showing militants blowing up or smashing up monuments and artefacts last year.
Government forces recaptured Nimrud as part of a wider assault on Mosul, the last major IS stronghold in Iraq.
A senior source in the Iraqi military's Nineveh Operations command reported significant advances around the city on Tuesday.
Warplanes bombed IS positions in Mosul's airport, on the southern outskirts, as units of elite Rapid Response Division encircled the nearby village of Albu Saif.
Counter-Terrorism Service personnel meanwhile fought fierce battles with IS militants in the eastern district of Qadisiya al-Thaniya, according to the source.
The city of Nimrud, about 32km (20 miles) south of Mosul, was founded more than 3,300 years ago. Then known as Kalhu, it was a capital of the Assyrian empire.
The site covered some 3.5 sq km (1.35 sq miles) and included a prominent "citadel" mound, the palaces and tombs of Assyrian kings, temples to their gods, colossal statues depicting lions and winged bulls, and widely revered frescos.
IS militants captured Nimrud in June 2014, shortly after they overran Mosul, routing the Iraqi army.
In March 2015, the Iraqi tourism ministry reported that militants had used bulldozers and other heavy vehicles to vandalise the site.
A month later, IS published a video showing militants smashing statues and frescos with sledgehammers before blowing up much of what remained.
On Tuesday, a pro-government tribal militia commander visiting the site for the first time in two years told the AFP news agency: "When you came here before, you could imagine the life as it used to be. Now there is nothing."
"One hundred percent has been destroyed," Ali al-Bayati added. "Losing Nimrud is more painful to me than even losing my own house."
The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) described the destruction of Nimrud last year as a "war crime", saying IS was "clearly determined to wipe out all traces of the history of Iraq's people".
The jihadist group has denounced pre-Islamic art and architecture as idolatrous, and has destroyed several other ancient sites in Iraq and neighbouring Syria.
The incident resulted in a 26-year-old man sustaining a serious injury in the West Lothian town's King Street on 13 December.
The victim is being treated in hospital.
The arrested man is expected to appear at Livingston Sheriff Court on Friday.
At a stroke, the Foreign Office has lost its two main levers of control over the World Service - its budget (currently £272m or $428m a year) and its services (that is, what countries it broadcasts to and in what format).
Details of the deal have yet to be announced, though the Foreign Office is expected to retain a veto over the closure of any of the BBC's language services.
However, it is highly unlikely that the Foreign Office wanted any of these changes. They seem to have been driven by spending cuts.
Only in July, Foreign Secretary William Hague was trumpeting the value of the BBC World Service in a speech about the importance of "networking" in the modern world.
He spoke of "the essential importance of the work of the British Council and the BBC World Service, which give Britain an unrivalled platform for the projection of the appeal of our culture and the sharing of our values".
Of course the BBC will carry on doing this work anyway and there will be some who will welcome the cutting of the link with the Foreign Office.
It was always a curiously British arrangement that the Foreign Office would pay and the BBC would produce, but not everyone understood or accepted that.
Now at least, the BBC World Service can argue that it is more independent than it was. It will not be totally so because it is the British government which sets the level of overall funding for the BBC through the application of a levy on television sets.
It is still open for critics to repeat the phrase that irritates all BBC folk - that the BBC is a "state broadcaster".
But as the BBC does not seem to have been given any compensating funds to pay for the World Service, this decision raises huge questions about the future.
Increasingly, the old radio services, especially on short wave, are going and are being replaced by online and television, such as the Persian TV service the BBC runs.
What future for them in the wider BBC landscape?
And what about BBC Monitoring, which monitors and translates foreign news sources and is funded by the World Service and government?
It might not quite have the power it once did -- BBC correspondents at Commonwealth conferences used to be cultivated by certain heads of state in case the BBC had monitored signs of a coup, usually martial music, on their national radio stations.
But it is of immense value in tracking trends and crises.
Will these services be more commercialised? After all, the BBC News website, as accessed from outside the UK, now carries advertisements. Should the World Service do so?
And it will presumably be the BBC which will now choose where the services should be directed.
The Foreign Office it would seem has lost an important tool of diplomacy. It will not be able to say that it wants, for example, more broadcasting to Burma or less to Africa.
Not such a bad thing, it might be argued. Perhaps the BBC will be able to make fewer policy-driven decisions and deliver ones driven more by demand.
In the Cold War it was easy. The BBC, Voice of America and Radio Free Europe knew what they were doing and knew why people listened.
The opposition put up their B team. Nobody was taken in by the old Radio Moscow, though the "Midnight in Moscow" theme tune was catchy.
There was even, I discovered after the Romanian revolution in 1989, a Romanian English-language radio station broadcasting abroad. It was largely run by a charming middle-aged chap who became the BBC translator during that crisis.
During the Falklands war, the British government set up its own short wave radio station called Radio Atlantico del Sur.
As I was in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, during that conflict I can confidently state that the only people who listened to it in my experience were myself and BBC colleagues checking on audibility, which was poor.
News and information is now a commodity in huge demand. In today's more open broadcasting environment, new thinking is required. But it would, most will agree I think, be a shame for the World Service to wither and die. I have lost count of the times that people in far-flung parts came up to me to express their gratitude - in Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, the Middle East.
The world is not yet so free that it does not need as much access as it can get to free information.

The technology identifies a person from their thermal signature and matches infrared images with ordinary photos.
It uses a deep neural network system to process the pictures and recognise people in bad light or darkness.
However, the technology is not being used commercially yet, with one of its creators, Dr Saquib Sarfraz, saying: "There are no plans to roll it out."
Dr Sarfraz, who worked on the project with colleague Dr Rainer Stiefelhagen at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, told the BBC: "We have been doing research on face recognition already for several years and have a scientific interest in the problem.
"Our presented work on face recognition in thermal images is currently not used outside the research lab."
In tests, the technology had an 80% success rate, and worked 55% of the time with one image, and Dr Sarfraz said that "more training data and a more powerful architecture" could produce better results.
With a higher success rate, the tool could potentially be used by police to catch and identify criminals.
Dr Tom Heseltine, head of research for UK face recognition company Aurora, was impressed with the project.
"It is an interesting approach and a very significant improvement in accuracy," he told the BBC.
"Although the ability to recognise faces in the dark is not new, the ability to use thermal infrared and match against a standard colour photograph could open up some new specific applications areas.
"Questions may be raised about how susceptible the technology is to variations in body temperature.
"Their biggest advantage comes in that they could potentially operate in the dark without the need for active infrared illumination."
Daniel Nesbitt, research director of privacy campaign group Big Brother Watch, was keen to ensure that identification of individuals was undertaken correctly.
He told the BBC: "All facial recognition technology has the potential to be very invasive of an individual's privacy if done the wrong way.
"This new research makes it even more vital that facial recognition is properly covered by legislation and that strong safeguards are put in place to protect people from misuse.
"It is important that a serious and wide-ranging debate about all new technology of this type takes place. Our privacy cannot be forgotten no matter how innovative a new piece of technology may seem."
The service in Machynlleth was introduced as a compromise following the closure of the Potters Yard recycling centre in January 2015, but has now been withdrawn to save money.
Householders will now have to take their waste to Newtown, a 60-mile round trip, or pay £25 for collection.
Machynlleth councillor Michael Williams said it was "an outrage".
"It's a real big blow for the people of Machynlleth and Dyfi Valley, this bulky waste service has been really well received and well used," he said.
Mr Williams added Potters Yard had opened because of the high volume of fly tipping in the area.
"I find it hard to believe we will not go back to that volume of fly tipping again, I hope it won't happen but I wouldn't be at all surprised.
"I feel, and my constituents feel that it's a big, big mistake, there's outrage at this decision."
The decision to completely withdraw the service was taken by the council's cabinet on 10 May.
John Powell, cabinet member for environment and sustainability, said: "With the ever reducing budgets available to us, difficult decisions need to be made.
"Unfortunately we could no longer continue this service due to its high running costs."
Dora Linda Nishihara, 69, who worked as a courthouse bailiff, died after her car fell into the 12ft (3.6m) hole filled with water.
Her car was retrieved from the sinkhole by a crane on Monday, a day after it first appeared.
A second vehicle also fell into the hole and two other people were hurt.
The driver of the second vehicle was rescued by a witness, local media reported, but Ms Nishihara's vehicle had flipped on to its roof and was completely submerged.
The flow of water in the sinkhole was caused by a ruptured sewer line, local media reported.
Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau said her department was "heartbroken" and was assisting the family.
Led by player of the match Helen Housby, Thunder secured a comfortable 72-52 victory over Celtic Dragons.
Mavericks beat Loughborough Lightning 48-44, while defending champions Surrey Storm earned a first win of the season with a 57-35 victory over Northumbria on Friday.
Team Bath also recorded a second successive win with a 58-38 victory over Yorkshire Jets on Monday.
Manchester's attacking wizard Liana Leota continued her fine form on her home debut, linking up well with goal shooter Housby to give Thunder a 40-20 half-time lead.
Celtic Dragons came out fighting after the break and were able to slow Thunder's goal scoring rate, but the 2014 champions proved too strong and ran out easy winners.
In the second game of the day, Loughborough Lightning travelled to Hertfordshire Mavericks with both teams having recorded opening day victories.
Lightning struggled initially against a strong Mavericks defence, but they fought back to lead 25-22 at the second break.
In a tightly contested match, neither side were able to break away but errors from Lightning in the closing minutes were punished by the calm shooting of George Fisher as Hertfordshire edged out Loughborough.
England defender Eboni Beckford-Chambers impressed once again as her side saw off Yorkshire Jets in Sheffield.
Bath were ruthless in the first half, punishing Jets' errors to take a 10-point lead at the half-time break.
South African Vanes-Mari du Toit then moved from goal shooter to keeper for Jets but failed to make the desired impact.
Team Bath's shooters were deadly under the posts and they closed out a 20-point victory to maintain their perfect start.
A strong defensive performance saw Surrey Storm make amends for their opening day defeat by Team Bath.
Northumbria's Nicole Dixon became the first player in the 2016 season to be sent off for two minutes as she was dismissed for persistent fouling in the final quarter.
Her side were restricted to just 43 shots on target during the match and remain winless this campaign.
Storm's attacking trio of Rachel Dunn, Pamela Cookey and Georgia Lees were in full flow and former England international Cookey finished the game with a 100% shooting record.
The Flying Scotsman made the journey from London King's Cross to York, where it will go on display at the National Railway Museum (NRM).
It arrived in York about 13.20 GMT, almost an hour later than expected, after it was twice held up by reports of trespassers.
The engine, which retired from service in 1963, has been restored for the NRM.
As it happened: The Flying Scotsman's journey
Former MP turned TV presenter Michael Portillo said: "This is certainly the most famous journey and most famous locomotive in Britain."
The first disruption happened at about 09:00 near St Neots when the train was brought to a standstill while British Transport Police cleared the lines after reports of around 60 people on the track. No arrests were made.
Network Rail said the number of people on the trackside had caused "safety concerns" and resulted in a number of services, including Flying Scotsman, having to slow down."
The train was halted a second time north of Doncaster following reports of trespassers on the track which were later found to be false.
Crowds gathered at King's Cross for its scheduled departure at 07:40 and thousands lined the route, while some of the 297 passengers paid up to £450 for a ticket to travel on the train.
Among the passengers was 83-year-old Ron Kennedy, from Leigh-on-Sea, in Essex, who drove Flying Scotsman from 1956 until it was retired in 1963.
He said "It's unbelievable. I never dreamt about being on it again. To be out with it is just fantastic."
NRM director, Paul Kirkman, said the restoration project was a "long old journey" but added that it was "incredibly satisfying" to see the locomotive returned to service.
The locomotive undertook a series of test runs through Cumbria and Lancashire earlier this year.
The winning team shared a prize pool of $1m (£650,000) between them.
The team beat another from South Korea, called Koo Tigers, to take the title in the final, which took place in Berlin in front of 15,000 fans.
SKT1 won the final 3-1 but Koo was the only team they faced throughout the competition that managed to take a game off them.
"We've faced Koo many times in the past and obviously have a good track record with them," said SKT1 player Gyeong-hwan Jang in a post-match interview.
"We noticed that Koo didn't really change that much over the past year and we thought that it would be the same this time around - and it was," he said.
Mr Jang aka Marin was named as SKT1's most-valued player for his vital role in helping his team win their second title, although only two players from the 2013 triumph are still with the team.
Writing on the Rock, Paper Shotgun games news website, Philippa Warr said that SKT1 had a "phenomenal" run during the tournament but Koo Tigers provided stiff competition in the final.
However, she said, Koo's undoing was SKT1's relentless pressure across the game map that forced the Tigers to make mistakes in key stages.
League of Legends involves teams attempting to destroy each others' bases on a small game map while defending their own. Players control any one of 100 champions, including demon toads, golems, robots, gunmen and wizards, that are equipped with a wide variety of attacks and defences.
Since it was released in late 2009, LoL has become hugely popular. Statistics from Riot Games, which makes LoL, said more than 67 million people play the game every month.
Senate committees had been expected to approve several candidates, in the second week of Mr Trump's presidency.
Democrats said they wanted more information about the financial activities of health nominee Tom Price and treasury pick Stephen Mnuchin.
Mr Trump had earlier said the Democrats were obstructing the political process.
A vote on attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions was also postponed.
On Monday the acting attorney general was sacked for questioning the legality of Mr Trump's immigration directive.
It imposes a temporary travel ban on seven mainly-Muslim countries.
Acting Attorney General Sally Yates had been appointed by President Barack Obama.
Democratic Senators from the Finance Committee told reporters outside the hearing for health and treasury nominees that they were seeking more information about Tom Price's trading in health company stock.
The Georgia Congressman has been nominated for the post of health and human services secretary in the new administration.
The senators said they were also concerned by reports of financier Stephen Mnuchin's behaviour involving foreclosures at his former bank OneWest.
The unexpected walkout by Democrats during scheduled votes to advance two of Donald Trump's more controversial cabinet nominees may be the first shots that lead to total partisan warfare on Capitol Hill.
Democratic senators had been subjected to growing criticism from the grass-roots Left for being too accommodating to Mr Trump and his nominees. On Sunday, for instance, more than 200 protesters descended on Senator Diane Feinstein's California house after she voted to confirm four earlier administration nominees.
Now, it seems, Democrats could be heeding the anger of their base and taking a more combative posture toward Republicans in general and Mr Trump in particular. These politicians likely saw Acting Attorney General Sally Yates become a liberal hero for defying the president on Monday night and are recognising that their party's anger is a force that could propel their careers or tear them apart.
This does not bode well for Mr Trump's Supreme Court nominee, who will be announced on Tuesday night. While Senate Democrats have had to rely on byzantine parliamentary manoeuvres to delay Mr Trump's cabinet picks, they have a powerful weapon - the filibuster - at their disposal to indefinitely block the president's high court selection.
But Senator Orrin Hatch, the Republican committee chair, described the Democrats' behaviour as "posturing and acting like idiots", AP reported.
A battle also raged in the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Mr Sessions came under heavy criticism.
An early Trump backer, Senator Sessions has faced racism allegations which overshadowed his confirmation hearings.
Committee chairman Senator Chuck Grassley began Tuesday's meeting by saying that neither Mr Sessions nor any of his current staff, "had a role in formulating or drafting the executive orders" - including the controversial travel ban.
Several Democratic Senators spoke in the committee meeting to say that they intended to vote against the 69-year-old Alabama senator.
Sen Diane Feinstein criticised his role in Mr Trump's election campaign and his closeness to the new president during it.
"It is very difficult to reconcile for me the independence and objectivity necessary for the position of attorney general with the partisanship this nominee has demonstrated," she said.
The Democrats' lengthy speeches extended the hearing into the afternoon, eventually forcing Sen Grassley to postpone the vote until Wednesday.
If Mr Sessions' nomination is approved by the judiciary committee, the full Senate - where Republicans hold a 52-48 majority - is expected to vote on it by the end of the week.
Early on Tuesday, Mr Trump expressed his frustration at the wait in confirming Mr Sessions' appointment.
He tweeted: "When will the Democrats give us our Attorney General and rest of Cabinet! They should be ashamed of themselves! No wonder D.C. doesn't work!"
"The Democrats are delaying my cabinet picks for purely political reasons. They have nothing going but to obstruct," he added.
The Alabama senator faced two days of tough questioning during his confirmation hearings this month.
One of the most conservative members of the Senate, Mr Sessions was denied a federal judgeship in 1986 after the judiciary committee heard testimony about his remarks on race.
Also on Tuesday:
The attorney general is America's top prosecutor, leads the justice department and acts as the main adviser to the president on legal issues.
Ms Yates was sacked by President Trump, who accused her of "betraying" the justice department and being "weak on borders".
She had said in a letter that she was "not convinced" that the president's order on immigration was lawful.
Mr Trump replaced her with Dana Boente, a federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia.
The immigration order, signed by the president on Friday, temporarily banned nationals from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the US. It sparked protests in the US and abroad.
The White House has consistently defended Mr Trump's executive order despite the controversy, with press secretary Sean Spicer saying diplomats should "get with the programme".
The 20-year-old from Seaforde clocked 2:03.70 at the British Para-swimming trials for Rio in Glasgow.
Firth, a 2012 London Paralympics gold medallist, had already achieved the 100m breaststroke and 100m backstroke qualifying times at the trials.
She will compete in the 200m Individual Medley on Wednesday.
Firth won the 200m freestyle by two seconds from Jessica-Jane Applegate with Chloe Davies back in third.
The Co Down woman represented Ireland at the 2012 Games before her decision to switch allegiance to Great Britain in 2013.
Last year Firth had to pull out of the British team for the IPC World Championships because of a broken wrist.
After this week's British trials, Firth will head to Madeira for the European Championships which take place in Madeira from 30 April to 7 May.
Daw hynny er gwaethaf gostyngiad yng nghyfanswm y nifer sy'n gwylio rhaglenni ar wefan y sianel neu'r BBC iPlayer.
Yn ôl yr adroddiad, mae nifer y sesiynau gwylio ar S4C Arlein a'r iPlayer wedi gostwng i 7.6 miliwn yn 2016/17.
8.4 miliwn oedd wedi gwylio yn 2015/16.
Roedd gostyngiad yn nifer y gwylwyr i'r sianel ledled y DU i 9.1 miliwn, o'i gymharu â 9.9 miliwn yn ystod yr un cyfnod y llynedd.
Ond roedd S4C wedi llwyddo i ddenu 18 miliwn o sesiynau gwylio i gynnwys y sianel ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol megis Facebook, Twitter a YouTube. Does dim data cyfatebol ar gyfer 2015/16.
Wrth ysgrifennu yn yr adroddiad, dywedodd y prif weithredwr Ian Jones fod S4C wedi "pasio" rhai o'r canlyniadau gorau gafodd eu nodi llynedd, ond roedd angen dod o hyd i esboniad am y gostyngiad yn y gwylwyr ar wefannau S4C a'r BBC.
Ysgrifennodd Ian Jones: "Mae 'na un mesurydd sydd yn codi cwestiynau, ac yn galw am ragor o ddadansoddi - sef y cwymp yn y niferoedd sy'n gwylio cynnwys S4C ar y BBC iPlayer.
"Mi fydd angen i waith barhau ar hynny, ond mae mantais ein presenoldeb ar yr iPlayer yn glir o hyd."
Roedd cynnydd yn nifer yr ailddarllediadau ar S4C, gyda 63% o'r amserlen yn cyfateb i raglenni sydd wedi'u dangos yn barod.
Mae'r ffigwr yma yn uwch na'r 57% o ailddarllediadau gafodd ei gofrestru yn 2015/16 - ffigwr roedd Ian Jones wedi'i feirniadu llynedd fel un oedd "llawer yn rhy uchel".
Dyw adolygiad annibynnol o waith S4C ddim wedi cychwyn eto, a does neb eto wedi'i benodi i arwain yr adolygiad, oedd i fod i ddechrau derbyn tystiolaeth yn gynnar yn 2017.
Fis Hydref bydd Ian Jones yn gadael ei swydd, gyda'r gwas sifil Owen Evans yn cymryd yr awenau.
Wrth ymateb i'r adroddiad dywedodd cadeirydd y sianel, Huw Jones: "Dwi'n meddwl bod 'na arwyddion da iawn yn yr adroddiad yma ynglŷn â'n hymateb ni i un o'r prif heriau sydd yn wynebu pob darlledwr, sef sut mae darlledu gwasanaeth cyflawn, cyfoethog, traddodiadol, ac ar yr un pryd, mynd i'r afael â'r heriau o ddarparu yr hyn mae pobl ifanc yn gynyddol ei angen, sef deunydd ar bob llwyfan newydd sydd ar gael.
"Be 'da ni'n ei weld yn yr adroddiad yma ydy cynnydd trawiadol yn y defnydd sy'n cael ei wneud o bethau fel Facebook Live, YouTube a phlatfformau digidol eraill.
"Ar yr un pryd, mae 'na gynnydd wedi bod yn nifer y siaradwyr Cymraeg yng Nghymru sy'n defnyddio'r gwasanaeth yn wythnosol."
The Adcocks, who won badminton gold in the same venue at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, took the match 21-10 21-13.
"It was great to get into the arena and we're really happy with the performance," Gabby Adcock said.
The pair are trying to become Britain's first world champions since 2006.
Chris Adcock and his previous partner Imogen Bankier were the last British athletes to win a medal at the event - claiming silver in 2011.
"It's a Worlds so anything can happen but we want to be in the medals - we've made no secret of that target," Chris Adcock told BBC Sport.
The Adcocks, who are the fifth seeds in the mixed-doubles event at the Emirates Arena, will face Japanese 11th seeds Kenta Kazuno and Ayane Kurihara in the next round.
Men's singles second seed Lee Chong Wei suffered a shock opening-round loss to Frenchman Brice Leverdez.
The Malaysian, who is a three-time Olympic silver medallist and has been a runner-up at the World Championships a further three times, saved match point twice in the second set.
However, the 34-year-old could not complete his comeback, with Leverdez securing the biggest win of his career.
Rio Olympic men's singles champion Chen Long suffered no such problems, dispatching Georges Julien Paul of Mauritius 21-7 21-9.
Women's singles number one seed Akane Yamaguchi of Japan progressed to the last 16 with a 21-6 21-13, defeat of Danish player Line Kjaersfeldt.
Scottish duo Martin Campbell and Patrick MacHugh progressed to the second round of the men's doubles event with an impressive 21-13, 21-18 defeat of Dutch pair Jacco Arends and Ruben Jille.
Wednesday will see British Olympic bronze medal-winning duo Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis begin their campaign in the men's doubles event.
European silver medallist Kirsty Gilmour of Scotland, Britain's best hope of success in the women's singles competition, competes for the first time on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old, who played for New Zealand in the World Rugby Sevens Series, has previously appeared for Crusaders in Super Rugby.
Tuitavake made his Tonga debut against Fiji earlier this year.
"He is an exciting talent who has all the attributes to be a success here and we look forward to welcoming him," said Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder.
Tuitavake added: "I have really enjoyed my time at Narbonne, but the opportunity to join Northampton was one I could not resist.
"They are a world-renowned club with some amazing players and I can't wait to get started."
David Pountney, who is also the company's artistic director, was awarded the Order of Merit at a ceremony in Vienna.
It recognises outstanding contributions to co-operation between Poland and other nations.
He was honoured for staging Polish opera in his role as director of the Bregenz festival in Austria since 2003.
Foreigners and Polish citizens living abroad are eligible for the award.
Mr Pountney, who joined WNO in 2011, has worked on operas by Polish artists including Karol Szymanowski's King Roger, Mieczyslaw Weinberg's The Passenger and the forthcoming premiere of Andre Tchaikowsky's The Merchant of Venice.
"Polish opera has an emotional intensity, a resonance", said Mr Pountney, who pointed to the difficult history that Poland had endured under long periods of foreign domination.
"These people have been through suffering and you can feel it in the music.
"That is what opera does. It brings feelings. Music describes something beyond words."
In response to the honour, Mr Pountney said: "I feel a deep gratitude and honour to receive this award. I am delighted that the Bregenz Festival could contribute to the dissemination of the culture of Poland.
"I knew in this case, we had really done a lot for Polish culture at the festival. We had uncovered two Polish composers that Poland had forgotten."
The work of Karol Szymanowski had its world premiere at the Bregenz Festival after being banned under Communist rule.
Since being performed at Bregenz, Szymanowski's operas have been performed by the English National Opera in London and by companies in Houston, New York, Chicago, France, Poland and Germany.
Mr Pountney added: "The arts are different to politics, the arts have a soft power. By allowing these operas to be performed we are changing, in a very small way, the history of music and theatre."
Tadcaster Grammar School has asked for "voluntary" contributions in response to "very significant rises in costs" - including teachers' pensions.
A letter from head teacher Martyn Sibley said the school needed to find an extra £1,100 per year per teacher.
One parent said it felt like an "imposition" to be asked to pay. The school is yet to comment.
State schools in England are allowed to ask for payments, but they must make clear there is no obligation to contribute.
The school, which is rated as "good" by Ofsted, has been consulting with parents on the amounts.
Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, said: "It's not about money, it's about quality of teaching.
"The fact is, parents have to work within their own budgets and the school, I think, is making a mistake if it thinks the more money you spend, the better education you get."
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) said three out of four head teachers were worried about funding.
Richard Raftery, from the NUT, said: "I can fully understand why schools start doing desperate things.
"We've had anecdotal evidence of some schools saying to their staff - if you're ill and you're ringing in the morning, just see if you can drag yourself in later in the day because our supply budget is exhausted."
Mr Raftery added: "Across the whole range of things there will be a dismal impact and ultimately it comes back to the government not facing up to its responsibilities."
The Department for Education said it was taking "difficult decisions" necessary to ensure the national schools budget was protected.
North Yorkshire County Council said it was pushing for a fairer distribution of funding to schools.
Stephan Lichtsteiner gave the visitors the lead after the break when he tapped home a low cross from Alex Sandro.
However, Mauro Icardi equalised for the hosts just two minutes later with a header from a corner.
Substitute Ivan Perisic headed Inter in front after fine work from Icardi, and Juve - with Gonzalo Higuain on from the bench - could not find an equaliser, despite Ever Banega's late red card.
The result was only Juve's second Serie A defeat since they lost 1-0 to Sassuolo on 28 October, 2015.
The loss means the champions slip to second, behind Napoli, while Inter move up to sixth.
Frank de Boer only replaced Roberto Mancini in the summer but there were rumours that defeat on Sunday could have seen the Dutchman removed from his position as Inter boss.
The Nerazzurri were embarrassed 2-0 at home by Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Europa League on Thursday, a result that prompted the former Ajax boss to apologise to fans and claim his side "lost their heads".
His position looked even more precarious when Switzerland international Lichtsteiner gave Juve an undeserved lead with 65 minutes on the clock.
However, Icardi powered home a fine header for his fourth league goal of the season and then showed great composure to pick out Perisic with a cross with the outside of his foot after rounding goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
It was a generally disappointing performance by the Turin side, champions in each of the past five seasons.
They had a great chance to take the lead in the first half when Sami Khedira headed straight at Samir Handanovic from six yards.
Higuain, the £75.3m summer signing from Napoli, was brought on with the scores at 1-1 but the Argentine's only chance saw him glance a header narrowly off target from a Sandro cross.

Crowds rallied near the site of Wednesday's blast, chanting anti-government and anti-Taliban slogans.
Police in riot gear also used tear gas and water cannon to block them from the presidential palace.
About 90 people died in the bomb blast, one of the deadliest in Kabul in years.
One of those killed during Friday's demonstration was reportedly the son of a prominent politician. Other reports put the death toll at seven, with several other people wounded.
No group has said it carried out Wednesday's bomb attack.
Afghan intelligence officials have pointed the finger at the Haqqani network - a Taliban affiliate - and have alleged support from Pakistan. Pakistan has roundly rejected the claims, calling them "baseless".
The Taliban denied any role and there has been no comment from so-called Islamic State militants, who are usually quick to claim attacks.
The blast - caused by explosives packed in a tanker - took place close to the heavily-guarded diplomatic area. Most of the victims were Afghan civilians, and hundreds of people were injured.
There have been a series of attacks in the capital and elsewhere in recent months.
Many of the more than 1,000 protesters on Friday accused the government of failing to address security issues.
"The international community has to put pressure on them and force them to resign," Niloofar Nilgoon, a protester, told Reuters news agency. "They're not capable of leading the country."
Outside a hospital run by an Italian NGO, Afghans waiting to see their injured relatives blamed Pakistan for the blast. One said: "The ISI [Pakistan's intelligence service] are sending suicide attackers here… Pakistan has looted our country for years."
But their strongest criticism was for their own government. "Whoever is responsible for the attacks, it's the job of our government to stop them," one person said.
English teacher Nawaz Hafizi ran for 40 minutes through Kabul to visit his brother in hospital on the day of the attack, thinking he was about to die. His brother now seems to be recovering but Mr Hafizi is scathing about the Afghan government.
"The government is sleeping. All their families are living abroad, relaxing. It's only the poor people here who are killed, no-one else."

Another man told AFP news agency that leaders were "doing nothing to stop this carnage".
"We want justice, we want the perpetrators of the attack to be hanged," Rahila Jafari, a civil society activist, said.
Some of the protesters were throwing stones, one report said, and a car was flying a banner that read "Ghani! Abdullah! Resign! Resign!" - a reference to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah.
More than a third of Afghanistan is now said to be outside government control.
The US has about 8,400 troops in Afghanistan, while another 5,000 from Nato allies are in the country.
The Pentagon has reportedly pressed US President Donald Trump to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan after a top commander warned of "stalemate" in the fight against the Taliban. | At least five people have died in the Afghan capital Kabul, officials say, after police opened fire on protesters demanding the government step down in the wake of a devastating bomb attack. | 40,131,527 | 713 | 39 | false |
The 25-year-old has not played since surgery on a dislocated shoulder he suffered in the Six Nations in March and he is now out with a groin injury.
Last week Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal said the player's contract could be terminated on medical grounds.
But it is understood that the rift has now been healed after urgent talks.
Halfpenny joined French Top 14 side Toulon from Cardiff Blues on a two-year deal in the summer and he has yet to play for the Heineken Cup winners because of the groin injury.
But Halfpenny is back running in training and sources close to the player believe he could return to action within three weeks.
Boudjellal told French newspaper Varmartin at the time that he felt Halfpenny might have been carrying the groin injury when he arrived at Toulon.
The Toulon president had said: "We haven't excluded denouncing his contract."
That put Halfpenny's former side Cardiff Blues and their regional rivals Ospreys on alert that the 2013 British and Irish Lions player of the series might become available.
Any move back to Wales would likely have been on a dual contract partly funded by the Welsh Rugby Union.
But it seems that Halfpenny's immediate future in France is now secure and he will soon take his place in a side still in need of a top-level goal-kicker following the retirement of Jonny Wilkinson.
Toulon returned to form on Friday with a 53-13 win over Brive that took them top of the table - at least until other sides play on Saturday - with Halfpenny tweeting his support for his team-mates ahead of the game.
"Good luck to the @RCTofficiel lads playing against Brive tonight," he wrote, before retweeting the same message in French. | Leigh Halfpenny's future at Toulon appears to have been resolved following a meeting between the Wales full-back's representative and club officials. | 29,293,428 | 430 | 36 | false |

He will serve as the government's senior politician and as the president of the Policy and Resources Committee.
He was voted in by 20 votes to 19 ahead of Deputy Peter Ferbrache, with one spoilt paper.
It follows a 20-20 tie in the second and third round of voting. Further ties could have led to the drawing of lots.
Deputy Parkinson, also a former treasury minister, lost out in the first round of voting after polling eight votes, compared to 17 for Deputy St Pier and 15 for Deputy Ferbrache.
The other four members of the committee are due to be elected on Friday.
Deputy St Pier said after the result: "I'm overwhelmed, I feel a little bit ill having gone through that process. I'm sure none of us expected that.
"This is an inauspicious start, to end up with such a divided vote, but I think it re-emphasises what I was saying in my opening speech, the need for us to really work together.

Dr Clare Gerada, chair of the Royal College of GPs, says the government is promoting its NHS Health Check programme "against good evidence".
Her comments come after The Times newspaper published a letter from Danish researchers criticising the programme.
The Nordic Cochrane Centre group found health MoTs did not reduce deaths.
In England, people aged 40-74 are offered a free health check.
The initiative, launched in 2009, is designed to spot conditions such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes by looking for silent risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Ministers have said the scheme could save 650 lives a year.
But Danish researchers are questioning the policy and say health checks have no proven benefits.
Their review, published in October 2012, looked at health checks offered in a number of countries, including some pilot trials in the UK a decade or more ago, though not the post-2009 programme.
It concluded that general health checks failed to benefit patients and could instead cause them unnecessary worry and treatment.
Dr Gerada of the RCGP shares these concerns.
She said: "Governments seem to be promoting this against good evidence.
"They [health checks] are not based on good evidence. They are pulling in an awful lot of people who have nothing wrong with them. And the very people you would want to be dragging in do not attend."
The NHS estimates, each year, the programme could:
Source: Public Health England
She said the money involved would be better spent on targeted intervention.
"We should be focusing on the hard-to-reach groups instead and policies like plain packaging for cigarettes and minimum pricing for alcohol."
Barbara Young, chief executive of Diabetes UK, defended the programme saying: "Far from being useless, there is good evidence that, if properly implemented, it could prevent thousands of cases of Type 2 diabetes a year, as well as having a positive impact for heart disease, kidney disease and stroke.
"And while the £300 million it costs to run might sound like a lot of money, diabetes and other chronic conditions are expensive to treat. This means that once you factor in the savings in healthcare costs, the NHS Health Check is actually expected to save the NHS about £132 million per year."
The Department of Health says the NHS Health Check programme is based on expert guidance that is continually reviewed.
A spokeswoman for Public Health England said the existing relevant evidence, together with operational experience accruing on the ground, was "compelling support for the programme".
She added: "We are establishing an Expert Clinical and Scientific Advisory Panel that will provide oversight of the NHS Health Check programme.
"This panel will be responsible for reviewing emerging evidence and research needs. It will also promote future research, development and evaluation of this programme."
When the Danish research was published in 2012, the NHS Health Check sent out an eBulletin warning that the Cochrane conclusions had little if any relevance to the NHS programme.
The Cochrane authors responded rebutting the criticism and asked to have their reply published alongside. They say this was denied. | Health checks offered to millions of people over 40 are a waste of time, says the UK's leading GP. | 23,765,083 | 657 | 26 | false |
He now runs a firm called AliveCor that has developed a heart-monitoring device causing excitement in medical circles.
AliveCor's recently launched Kardia Band, which integrates with Apple's smart watch, takes an electrocardiogram (ECG) of your heart, measuring its electrical activity as it pumps away.
Medical experts believe it could potentially save thousands of lives.
It can spot atrial fibrillation (AF) - one of the most common forms of abnormal heart rhythm and a major cause of stroke.
You place your thumb on the metal sensor in the watchband to complete an electrical circuit and it can take a reading in 30 seconds, sending the data to the watch over high-frequency audio rather than Bluetooth or wi-fi.
Kardia Band can spot other problems, too, but currently only has regulatory approval for AF. If it spots anything else unusual it suggests you go and see your doctor.
"The problem with atrial fibrillation is that it's asymptomatic, which means it can come and go and often isn't diagnosed," says Mr Gundotra.
For example, Ron Grant, 70, told the BBC: "At the age of 55, I had a massive heart attack - flatlined - had a bypass. It was some years after that we discovered I had AF - a funny heart rhythm to put it simply - which could lead to stroke".
Mr Grant now uses the smartphone compatible version of the AliveCor device to keep tabs on his ticker.
"People start modifying their behaviour once they begin monitoring their own health," says Mr Gundotra.
"No-one's more interested in heart health than the owner of the heart."
Heart disease and stroke are the biggest killers in the world, accounting for about 14 million deaths a year.
If technology can give us a warning that things are going wrong before it's too late, many lives could be saved. And health budgets could be applied more effectively elsewhere.
In the US, around 130,000 people die a year directly or indirectly from AF, while more than 750,000 have to go to hospital, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta.
And it costs about $6bn (£4.8bn) a year to treat the condition in the US.
In the UK, around 100,000 people suffer sudden cardiac death each year, to which AF is a contributor.
According to NHS England, AF is responsible for a third of all strokes and costs the NHS more than £2.2bn a year to treat.
So it's easy to see why health authorities are interested in simple wearable devices that could significantly increase early diagnosis of such heart problems before they become life-threatening - and more costly to treat.
In the summer, Simon Stevens, head of NHS England, said such innovations would be "fast-tracked" so they can be adopted within the English health system much more quickly.
There are scores of fitness trackers on the market these days, most of them wristbands, and while they may be useful motivational tools, most of them don't yet have regulatory approval.
"Fitness trackers are all very well, but doctors want clinically proven products whose data they can use to make clinical decisions," says Mr Gundotra.
But going through the rigorous testing process required for a health product to receive regulatory approval can take years, so it's no wonder most consumer tech companies don't bother.
Confusingly, AliveCor's smartphone compatible sensor, Kardia Mobile, has received regulatory approval in the US and Europe, whereas the Kardia Band smart watch version is currently approved only for Europe.
"We hope to get US approval soon," says Mr Gundotra.
Collating and studying millions of ECGs AliveCor's sensors have taken, and applying machine learning to the data, is also promising to reap rewards - although these are early days for the research.
AliveCor is collaborating with the Mayo Clinic in the US to see if other useful indicators can be discerned from the electrical pulse patterns generated by our hearts.
For example, they may be able to detect whether you have too much or too little potassium in your system, a mineral that plays a key role in keeping your heart beating in a normal rhythm.
Potassium also helps your nerves to function, your muscles to work, and your kidneys to filter blood. At the moment we can only find out potassium levels from a blood test, so if this information could be gleaned from a quick ECG instead, the medical benefits could be huge.
So what other clinically proven apps and gadgets are causing a stir?
Remote monitoring is a big area of research, with companies like Preventice Solutions and Biotricity offering heart monitoring kit that records and sends ECG data wirelessly to a smartphone app or to the cloud, allowing doctors to be alerted immediately of any heart abnormalities in their patients.
Preventice's BodyGuardian has received approval by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), but just the software element of Biotricity's Bioflux product has so far been approved.
"Remote monitoring could save a lot of money - hundreds of thousands of dollars a year - because people have to go into hospital much less often," says Annette Zimmermann, research director at Gartner.
And Dexcom has recently had its continuous glucose monitoring system approved by the FDA, enabling people with Type 1 or 2 diabetes to measure their blood sugar levels automatically every five minutes and see the trends displayed on a smartphone.
A growing number of advice apps are winning approval, too, from myCOPD, which enables patients to manage Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD), to BlueStar, an app helping people with Type 2 diabetes manage their condition.
Fitness wearables may be more fashionable, but it's the clinically proven gadgets and apps that could end up saving the most lives.

The Daily Telegraph claims it has seen documents which apparently show that the former Fifa vice president and head of Asian football, Mohammed Bin Hammam, paid his fellow former Fifa vice president Jack Warner and his family more than £1m.
Although the payments are said to relate to legal and other expenses over a six-year period from 2005, the Telegraph says a company called Jamad, owned by Warner, invoiced Bin Hammam's company, Kemco, for £750,000 just two weeks after Qatar were surprisingly awarded the finals in December 2010.
While that will arouse fresh suspicions, it's not clear the payments are in any way linked to the World Cup vote. In fact some believe Warner, the former head of the North American and Caribbean Football Confederation (Concacaf), didn't even vote for Qatar.
Although the head of the Dominican FA, Patrick John, claimed in July 2011 that Warner didn't follow through with his pledge to back fellow Concacaf country America, others say Warner repeatedly told 2022 candidates that he was committed to voting for the United States.
A look at the voting numbers would appear to back that up. In the final round, Qatar beat USA by 14 votes to eight. It is hard to see how America could have got to that number without the support of Warner and the two other Concacaf representatives on the Fifa executive committee - namely American Chuck Blazer and Rafael Salguero of Guatemala.
Sadly, the truth is that we will never know for sure. The ballot for the World Cup is held in secret, a fiercely-guarded tradition that is unlikely to change even after all the controversy of the last three years.
And given that lamentable lack of transparency, it's hardly beyond the realms of imagination to suppose that Warner might have promised one thing to one bid and then done quite the opposite.
But if Warner didn't vote for Qatar, what was all that money from Bin Hammam for?
But if Warner didn't vote for Qatar, what was all that money from Bin Hammam for?
The easiest conclusion to draw is that it was in some way linked to Bin Hammam's doomed bid to unseat Fifa President Sepp Blatter during that now infamous election in Zurich in May 2011.
Bin Hammam never contested that election as he had already pulled out amid corruption allegations. He was eventually banned from football for life for offering bribes to Caribbean football officials at a meeting in Trinidad.
Warner helped set up that meeting and was subsequently forced to resign after 28 years at the top of world football, having been described as an accomplice to corruption.
Is it possible that Bin Hammam was already paying Warner for his support in the upcoming Presidential election?
Or maybe the two men had separate and perfectly legitimate business dealings, none of which were connected with Fifa or football. Remember these two men had been close allies for well over a decade. Both have wide business interests outside the game.
Warner has told the Press Association that the Telegraph's story was part of a "witch hunt" against Qatar. The Qatari's supreme committee for the 2022 World Cup, meanwhile, have distanced themselves from the latest claims to dog their hosting of the tournament, saying they adhered to Fifa's strict bidding regulations. Bin Hammam could not be reached for comment.
Nevertheless the Telegraph's excellent investigation has yet again raised serious questions about the conduct of senior Fifa officials. And while the governing body may claim that they are now cleaning up their act, Simon Johnson, the former chief operating officer of England's failed 2018 World Cup bid, is right when he says that the world governing body's ethics committee should now investigate the newspaper's claims.
Because regardless of the full story behind these payments, it can hardly look good if one Fifa executive committee member from a country bidding to stage the World Cup is paying another Fifa executive committee member more than £1m when that official can so obviously influence the outcome of that bid.
It only adds to the pressure on Fifa and their chief investigator Michael Garcia to come up with a new system for choosing the host for football's biggest and most prestigious prize.
Hull University's interim findings show a third of this figure included visits to the city's museums and galleries.
UK City of Culture Independent Advisory Panel Chairman Phil Redmond said "it raised the bar" for its 2021 successor.
Hull was awarded City of Culture status in November 2013, beating competition from Swansea, Leicester and Dundee.
The interim report says nine in 10 residents had "attended or experienced a cultural event or activity as part of Hull UK City of Culture".
Director of Hull 2017 Martin Green said the 90% figure was "staggering". He added: "I asked for it to be double checked.
"There is always a danger that these projects feel that they're only for certain people and feel that they're being done to people.
"The emerging big story of this year is how the people of this city have taken ownership of their year."
Of the 1.1m people who saw the Blade installation in Queen Victoria Square, more than 420,000 people had interacted with it while half said the artwork was the main draw for their city centre visit, the report suggested.
It also said 38% of people who booked to see play The Hypocrite were new audience members at Hull Truck Theatre.
Mr Redmond said: "These impressive figures indicate both value and the impact of being the UK City Culture, while vindicating the Panel's decision to award the title to Hull.
"They have done what we asked: raised the bar for whoever follows in 2021."
Researchers also noted Hull Trains reporting a "17% increase in passengers in January 2017" in comparison to the same month last year.
More than 720,000 visitors saw Hull's Weeping Window poppies, part of Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, which was created to mark the World War One centenary and was originally seen at the Tower of London.
Nearly 345,000 people turned out for the Made in Hull giant video projection event, which marked the start of the city hosting the year-long arts festival.
Crowds of up to 25,000 descended on the city's waterfront for a firework display launching the celebrations on New Year's day.

Nat Wedderburn scored the only goal of the match after a mistake by Morton goalkeeper Derek Gaston.
The hosts pressed in the second half but found Pars keeper Sean Murdoch in wonderful form.
Callum Morris netted but the goal was disallowed for a foul by the Dunfermline defender.
Jim Duffy's side, who play leaders Hibernian on Wednesday, miss the chance to go second as they remain level with Falkirk and four points ahead of fourth-placed Dundee United while Allan Johnston's men are four above the relegation zone.
Morton were bright early on, Lee Kilday's header flying over the bar and Lawrence Shankland going clean through on goal only to be stopped by Lee Ashcroft's intervention.
But it was Dunfermline who went ahead. Kallum Higginbotham's corner was not dealt with at all by Gaston and Nicky Clark flicked the ball on to Wedderburn, who applied the tap-in and was booked for going into the crowd to celebrate.
Shankland was in on goal again following Mark Russell's pass but shot wide and Morton's Ross Forbes was booked for simulation in the Pars' penalty area.
Michael Doyle and Andy Murdoch were denied by Sean Murdoch as the home side searched for an equaliser.
And the Dunfermline stopper produced an impressive point-blank save to prevent Kudus Oyenuga scoring.
Gaston was also tested, doing well to keep Clark's effort out.
The Pars thought they had doubled their lead but Morris's header was chalked off for pushing.
It mattered little, though, as Dunfermline held on for the three points and bounced back from last week's home defeat by Ayr United while Morton can only reflect on a frustrating and disappointing day.
Dunfermline Athletic manager Allan Johnston: "It was an incredible record to go a full year unbeaten at home; it just shows you the consistency they've shown since the start of the season.
"Jim Duffy has done a great job here so we're delighted to come here and get the three points. The win is massive, but the work rate today was exceptional from not just the defence, but the midfield, the wide players getting back in, the strikers dropping back in, it was real team performance today."
Morton manager Jim Duffy: "It's extremely disappointing; a lot of aspects were below par. One or two individuals did ok but defensively I don't think we were anywhere near good enough.
"I think in midfield, the creativity was missing and up front I felt we lacked a spark. Credit to Dunfermline, they score from a mistake but overall, I don't think we can complain about losing that today.
"In open play I didn't feel we were quite calm enough in the final situation, and you've got to show that composure. That's the difference - top players show composure at key moments and I felt that when we got wide, we kind of rushed a cross, or scuffed a cross, things like that. Dunfermline deserved to win."

Police are "deeply concerned" by figures that reveal 56 women and girls are thought to have fled to the war-torn country last year.
Esaaf Al-Ahmed arrived in Bradford with her family last year.
She is one of three Syrian mothers speaking about the reality of life in their home country and the terror that made them flee to the UK.
A national survey carried out last year revealed two-thirds of 11 to 25-year-olds were most likely to speak to their mother if they considered travelling to a conflict zone.
Last June, three sisters from Bradford - Khadija, Sugra and Zohra Dawood - disappeared from their homes with their nine children.
Their brother is understood to be fighting with extremists in Syria.
Helen Ball, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said women and girls were "unaware of the dangers they face".
A mother who tried to abduct her two children to live in Syria under the so-called Islamic State was jailed last week for five years and four months.
The 34-year-old woman from Bradford was stopped by the Turkish authorities last October.
She told the court she wanted to live under strict Sharia law.
Mrs Al-Ahmed and her daughters, four-year-old Hala, eight-year-old Rashal and 14-year-old Rasha, were given sanctuary under the government's Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme on medical grounds.
Her husband, Walid, had cancer in the Jordanian refugee camps where the family were living.
Mrs Al-Ahmed said in the "Prevent Tragedies" campaign film that young women "wrongly believe they have a future" in Syria.
She said: "My message to young women is think about yourself, and your future, rather than go to Syria and face arrest, torture, or even death.
"Build your future here where you have freedom and opportunity."
Assistant Chief Constable Angela Williams from West Yorkshire Police said the messages by so-called Islamic State were "misleading" and "do not reflect the reality" of living in Syria.
"Children have been taken to dangerous places and are at great risk; vulnerable people have been brainwashed into travelling" she said.
"My message to mothers across the region is to please come forward if you have any concerns."
"We would much rather intervene at an early stage before somebody is criminalised."
It interviewed 50 women for the report, entitled Those Who Take Us Away, which claims aggressive policing, neglect and allegations of sexual abuse by some RCMP members.
Activists say it has created a climate of fear among First Nation women.
The RCMP said it took the allegations in the report very seriously.
The women interviewed for the report made a series of allegations against the RCMP, including of aggressive policing and inappropriate use of strip searches to accusations of sexual assault.
One woman told the report's authors that she had been gang raped by police officers.
"There's frustration, there's distrust of authority," said Meghan Rhoad, who wrote the report for Human Rights Watch.
Since 1969, police say 18 women have been murdered or have vanished along British Columbia's Highway 16 - an 800-mile (1,300-km) route nicknamed the Highway of Tears by the largely indigenous communities that line its path.
Most of the victims were aboriginal, and only one case has been solved. Local First Nation leaders claim that actually between 32-43 women have either been killed or gone missing along the route. Human Rights Watch is now calling for a national inquiry into the crimes.
Critics have long protested against police inaction over the disappearances, some accusing the authorities of "systematic racism" towards native women. The government of British Columbia published a report in 2012 that vowed to protect vulnerable indigenous women, and "honour" the memory of the missing and the dead.
"There's not only a feeling that the police don't take their reports seriously, but that they will themselves be responsible for mistreatment."
Annabel Webb, whose charity, Justice for Girls, contributed to the report, said the police have cultivated a climate of "systematic racism" towards First Nation women and girls, leaving many female victims of crime reluctant to approach the police.
"I won't call the police. I don't trust them," said Angie, a 48-year-old indigenous mother-of-five, who asked the BBC to conceal her real name to protect her family.
In April 2012, Angie's 15-year-old daughter was violently arguing with her boyfriend at the family home, in the fishing town of Prince Rupert on the Pacific coast.
Angie called the police, but she said the argument was largely over by the time two officers arrived.
She took the officers to her daughter and then walked back upstairs to check on her newborn granddaughter.
Angie said she then heard a commotion downstairs.
She said: "The officer comes up the steps and says to me, 'I think I've broken your daughter's arm'."
The officer, who was trying to handcuff her daughter for becoming aggressive, Angie says, twisted the 15-year-old's arm so far up behind her back that her upper forearm broke, vertically, between her shoulder and her elbow.
The police took the teenager away, in handcuffs, to a nearby hospital, according to the report.
The RCMP later claimed that the 15-year-old had threatened to kill herself, which Angie denies. The force says it used proportionate force to stop her.
No-one has been charged with the incident, and Angie's daughter is currently under investigation for allegedly kicking the police officer during the scuffle.
In a statement to the BBC, the RCMP said that after issues were raised by Human Rights Watch last year, the force urged victims of alleged police misconduct to make official complaints.
"Unfortunately, five months later and none of these allegations have been brought forward for investigation," said the RCMP statement.
"It is impossible to deal with such public and serious complaints when we have no method to determine who the victims or the accused are."
The report's findings are all too familiar, Human Rights Watch says.
"There's a feeling of 'well, this is what happens in these communities'," Ms Rhoad said. "Not necessarily accepting that this is right, but to some extent, that's the way it is. It's very frustrating."
In 2008, the United Nations urged Canada to review its responses to violence and discrimination against First Nation communities, while an earlier report by Amnesty International claimed widespread neglect of native Canadian victims of crime.
British Columbia Justice Minister Shirley Bond said in a statement to the BBC: "We are working hard to make changes to the policies, programmes and services that protect and serve all of us - and particularly vulnerable women."
The four miners, at times in tears, thanked the teams above ground for working to save them.
The men were trapped by a cave-in at a gypsum mine in eastern Shandong province on 25 December.
Of 29 initially trapped, 15 have been rescued and one is confirmed dead, while 13 are still missing.
The footage, released by Chinese authorities, showed miners named as Hua Mingxi, 36, Zhao Zhicheng, 50, Li Qiusheng, 39, and Guan Qinji, 58, addressing rescuers.
"Thank you all very much, I feel relieved and secure now," says one man through his tears.
"We will remember you all forever," says another.
The phone had been sent down some days earlier with video of the rescue operation, in order to give the men hope.
More than 400 rescue workers were involved in the operation to reach the men, who were trapped more than 200m (656ft) underground.
A borehole was drilled down to the shaft and water and liquids were passed through.
Finally on Friday, the miners were winched up one-by-one in a specially made capsule.
China's CCTV showed dramatic footage of one of the men appearing on the surface.
Local official Zhang Shuping said the search for those still missing would continue.
The mine collapse near the town of Pingyi was so violent that it registered at China's earthquake monitoring centre.
Police are reported to have taken "enforcement measures" against several bosses at Yurong company which owns the mine, while local party officials have been sacked.
Company chairman Ma Congbo was said to have drowned himself by jumping into a mine well several days after the incident.
China has a long history of industrial accidents.
The 30-year-old Bayern Munich defender, who can also play in midfield, played 113 times for Germany.
Lahm will continue playing for his club side, where he renewed his contract until 2018 shortly before the World Cup.
His retirement from the national side was confirmed by the German FA (DFB).
"I am happy and grateful that the end of my career with the national team coincides with winning the World Cup in Brazil," he said in an open letter on the DFB website.
Lahm's international career started in February 2004 with a 2-1 defeat of Croatia and ended with the 1-0 win over Argentina in the World Cup final on Sunday.
DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach said: "Philipp called me this morning and personally informed me of this step. I very quickly realised that it was pointless trying to persuade him to reconsider his decision.
"He was not just a superb player for 10 years in the national team, but also a complete role model. I thanked him for everything that he's done for the DFB."
Lahm now plans to focus on the club side that he joined aged 11 and has been captain of since 2011.
"There is hardly a better farewell than to be a world champion at the peak of your career," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
"But for the national team, it will not be easy to replace Lahm as a player, captain and a man."
Kate Burrows and partner Alan built their home in Devon of tree trunks knitted together and covered with mud and straw.
She says the move was prompted by a series of illnesses caused by living in her former rented home.
North Devon Council said they broke planning laws and have given them until December to move out.
More on the woman 'allergic to modern life', and other Devon news
Mrs Burrows appealed against an enforcement order, citing illness from a condition called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), but this was rejected.
Mrs Burrows, who has been in the house on their smallholding in the Tarka Valley near Chulmleigh for 19 months, said living in a modern home "was like having flu all the time".
"It was a collection of stuff in my system that literally poisoned me," she said.
"I think it was the water and the electricity and the wi-fi, the paint on the walls and my body couldn't handle it.
"I didn't realise how ill I was until we moved here and I started to recover."
MCS is a chronic, physical illness affecting people of all ages and backgrounds. It causes sufferers to have allergic-type reactions to very low levels of chemicals in everyday products. Put simply, the immune and detoxification systems stop working properly and the body cannot process toxins efficiently.
Besides reacting to things like cleaning products, shampoo, perfumes and pesticides, many sufferers are also sensitive to food, medicines, moulds and electromagnetic fields.

It took the couple six weeks to build the roundhouse which has an outside compost toilet, kitchen, living area and two bedrooms.
The house is topped with tonnes of turf and the walls are lined with lime mortar. Alongside one wall is a bath supplied with hot water from a makeshift boiler.
Outside a hand pump brings water from the river for washing, solar panels on the roof provide power and the couple keep chickens, goats and geese.
"This is our nest, this is our everything, this is our art," said Mrs Burrows. "We have sculpted it with our hands from the soil.
"I can't go back to being ill like that, it fills me with absolute horror."
She is campaigning for a planning policies in England like the One Planet planning laws in Wales which can allow largely self-sustaining homes like theirs.
"I think it's really important that people like are us are allowed to live sustainably on their own land without causing any damage," she said.
"This is normal life. We're collecting water, we're chopping wood, we're growing food.
"Isn't that what everyone has done throughout time?"
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence calls MCS a "medically unexplained condition" but admits it can cause "severe functional impairment for afflicted individuals".
The causes of MCS are disputed in the medical profession. No-one is suggesting that people who suffer from it are putting it on. But it is difficult to show an association with chemicals.
We often find that they have other issues like stress and perhaps it's all tied in together. Often people suffering from it claim it is caused by modern chemicals but there are all sorts of chemicals in nature, from decomposition, fragrance from flower pollens and other natural compounds, but these do not appear to cause a reaction.
Charity MCS-Aware estimates that several thousand people in the UK have some type of MCS.
CEO Nicki Greenham said the bodies of sufferers did not process toxins in the same way as healthy people.
"Unfortunately we get a lot of people for whom living in an ordinary house, especially a new build house that has been decorated or furnished becomes a big problem," she said.
There is no "magical cure" but "over time it is possible to recover by lowering the burden the body has to deal with".
North Devon Council planning officer Graham Townsend said it was "clearly not in the public interest to have houses and other structures springing up across the countryside without any permissions being obtained".
A Department for Communities and Local Government spokesperson said planning policy "already promotes good design and encourages low carbon development" and building regulations "set high standards for energy efficiency".
Health Minister Mano Aghali announced on public radio that the death toll had risen from 85 in less than a week.
The effort to immunise children between two and 15 has started despite a shortage of vaccines.
Schools in and around Niger's capital, Niamey, were shut this week to contain the virus.
It was a shortage of vaccines to treat the current strain that caused the outbreak to spread, the authorities say.
Only half of the 1.2 million doses needed are currently available and the government has said it is still waiting for more to arrive, reports the BBC's Baro Arzika in Niamey.
Prime Minister Brigi Rafini had earlier this week appealed for help in getting the remaining doses.
The authorities have warned people against using unauthorised vaccines, saying the doses might be for the wrong strain of the disease.
The health minister says 1,150 cases have now been recorded, mostly in the Niamey and Dosso regions where it is now endemic.
In pictures: Fighting killer meningitis in West Africa
Meningitis is an infection of the meninges - the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
Symptoms can include severe headaches, fever, drowsiness, stiff neck, vomiting, confusion and a fear of light. A rash may also appear.
According to the World Health Organization, it can cause severe brain damage and is fatal in 50% of cases if untreated.
There is a "meningitis belt" in sub-Saharan Africa, stretching from Senegal to Ethiopia, with high rates of the disease, the WHO says.
The £500,000 project at the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum at Stewart Park in Middlesbrough was funded by an Arts Council grant.
Galleries have been revamped and a new exhibition set up.
This features artwork and natural history specimens from Cook's voyages, some on loan from attractions including the Natural History Museum.
Entitled "Gotta Catch 'Em All", it features the 18th Century natural scientists and artists who sailed with Cook, and their collection of natural history specimens, which had never been seen before in Europe.
There is also a new "Cabinet of Curiosities" which houses books, objects and ephemera all linked to the explorer.
A resources room holds items ranging from original 18th century engravings to books published this year.
Senior curator Phil Philo said: "It's all perfectly timed as the museum prepares for next year's celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the start of Captain Cook's First Voyage aboard Endeavour to the Pacific Ocean, and his exploration of the Society Islands, New Zealand and the East coast of Australia."
Tata Steel announced on Tuesday it was shedding 900 jobs at its North Lincoln Road site.
The company has pledged £3m to help create jobs in the town while another £6m will be provided by the government.
However, unions say more needs to be done and earlier gathered in the town to collect more signatures.
Steel worker Tony Gosling said: "We're asking people to sign our petition and continue to give us their warmth and love that they have given us so far in our plight.
"There's an online petition which has collected over 6,000 signatures, there's a national petition which has collected over 16,000 and on paper we estimate we've collected nearly 5,000."
Labour MP for Scunthorpe Nick Dakin said support for the steelworkers was vital.
He said: "It's really important because it shows that people care about what's happening and that helps me put real pressure on the prime minister to act."
The 48-year-old man was struck by the black cab while walking on Clyde Street at about 00:45 on Sunday.
Emergency services attended and the man was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary before being transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
Police have asked anyone who was in the area at the time and who has information to get in touch.
Sgt Stuart Bell said: "There will have been people heading home from nights out in the city centre around the time of this incident and I would appeal for any witnesses to get in touch."
Lydon will leave his role as head of rugby at the Welsh Rugby Union to take up his new post.
The WRU has already started the search to find his successor.
"I am sad to be leaving Wales, but the challenge of playing such a pivotal role in the development of English rugby at this time is one I had to take up," said Lydon.
"Welsh rugby is in great shape and I leave behind a team of people more than capable of achieving the goals we have set.
"The experience I have gained across the past five years with the WRU will set me in great stead for the exciting new challenge ahead."
Lydon arrived in Wales with a rugby CV that included 32 Great Britain rugby league caps, experience as technical director of the Rugby Football League and as a rugby union coach with the England Sevens and the senior England team.
He was appointed by the WRU in November 2008 to be responsible for the development programmes across all tiers of Welsh rugby for players, coaches and match officials.
Lydon's new role in English rugby will see him report to England head coach Stuart Lancaster in the new international performance department at Twickenham.
"This is a significant appointment for the future of England Rugby, made following a rigorous selection process," said Lancaster.
"Joe has a huge amount of experience as a player, coach and head of a successful performance and development structure in Wales and I am looking forward to working with him.
"He will be responsible for developing and managing a world class system of international player development for all our teams.
"We would like to build on the current system of talent identification, development and selection process that ensures that we have continual supply of high quality international players for England."
Lydon's remit will include Saxons, U20s, U18s, Sevens, and the Women's senior, Sevens and U20 teams.
That's not entirely true - tax powers are one of the things that remain devolved to member governments.
The European Union has led the way on measures to prevent money laundering, but taxes are set on a country-by-country basis. Some member states have used this power to set themselves up as low-tax jurisdictions within the EU - Ireland, for example - encouraging multinational corporations to shift their profits there to pay lower taxes.
It has had some success going after tax deals made by member states with individual companies under state aid rules. It did this, for example, with Luxembourg and the Netherlands on Fiat and Starbucks respectively.
It may be argued that if anyone has been taking the lead on tax avoidance it is the OECD (the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a 34-country group that has also been working to tackle offshore avoidance and evasion).
It is true that cross-border co-operation is needed to deal with tax avoidance, and it has made some important changes, such as the update to the European Savings Directive in 2014, which closed some loopholes that were allowing taxes to be avoided.
It may be that unwillingness from member states has been a factor in preventing the EU doing more about tax avoidance. It emerged earlier in the week that David Cameron had written to former European Council President Herman van Rompuy in 2013 asking for offshore trusts to be excluded from a crackdown on tax avoidance.
Reality Check verdict: The EU has done some useful work on tax avoidance but cannot really be described as having led the way.

Goals from on-loan Celtic defender Eoghan O'Connell, Simeon Jackson and Joe Edwards ensured that Matty Taylor's late response was mere consolation.
Walsall keeper Neil Etheridge made two excellent saves in the first half, foiling Billy Bodin's curler and Chris Lines' fierce 20-yard free-kick.
The Saddlers only had one real first-half chance and they took it, right on the stroke of half-time, O'Connell pouncing on Lines' loose header to lash home a volley from six yards.
Rovers could have levelled on 57 minutes as Ollie Clarke's low cross found the Pirates' top scorer Taylor unmarked 12 yards out but he fired straight at Etheridge.
That miss proved costly as Walsall doubled their lead on 68 minutes, substitute Jackson collecting Florent Cuvelier's ball over the top to sublimely chip debutant keeper Joe Lumley.
Walsall put the game beyond doubt on 73 minutes, Edwards robbing Byron Moore before coolly slotting beyond Lumley.
Taylor pulled one back on 82 minutes, heading home his 16th league goal of the season after Etheridge misjudged a Lee Brown cross, but it was mere consolation for Rovers.

The artist created the mask in 2002 as a "specimen" or "museum display" to "transform herself into an object of scrutiny for generations to come".
Emin and her gallery White Cube priced the mask at £60,000 - but offered the National Portrait Gallery a £30,000 museum discount.
The remaining £30,000 came from a grant from The Art Fund.
Death masks have been created throughout history to preserve the final images of famous people just after they have died.
Emin is very much alive - and her bronze cast is now in its "rightful home", according to the National Portrait Gallery.
Associate curator Rab MacGibbon said: "Artists have frequently explored their mortality in self-portraits. Tracey Emin's Death Mask... blurs the distinctions between life and death, art and identity."
Death Mask will feature in the exhibition Life, Death And Memory, which also includes the death mask of painter John Constable and the last portrait for which film director and artist Derek Jarman sat.
Emin, 53, is best know for her autobiographical works such as My Bed and the tent Everyone I Have Ever Slept With.

The party voted in favour of an independent review of the sport, stricter ownership rules, and tougher action against discrimination.
Activists at the Lib Dem conference in Glasgow were told of "huge levels of debt", fans being "priced out", and clubs being "trashed" by their owners.
The party agreed to adopt the motion, called "reclaiming the beautiful game".
It proposed making homophobic chanting a criminal offence, strengthening the "fit and proper person" rule to decide if an individual is fit to own or become a director of a club, and to divert a share of TV revenues to support the grassroots of the game.
The motion also expressed "concern" that "winning has become the primary motive in the sport", which it claimed was leading to "financial risk taking, high debt levels and almost a hundred instances of club bankruptcy since 1992".
Opening the debate, Steve Bradley, the party's prospective Parliamentary candidate for Bath, said: "Football has an appeal and a relevance in Britain that goes far beyond sport."
But the game also has a "dysfunctional side", he said, "which risks its future viability".
The motion "blows the whistle on the mismanagement of English football's boom", Mr Bradley told activists.
He said the wealth at the top of the game was not trickling down to lower levels, and raised fears about the amount of debt clubs were building up.
Mr Bradley said governing bodies had "ceded control of the game" to the most powerful clubs, and "large swathes of the population" were "priced out altogether".
And he said there was a need to protect some clubs from being "trashed on the whims of those who just happen to be the current custodians of long-standing institutions".
Edward Lord, a former anti-discrimination adviser to the Football Association, said an independent review of football governance would "make it more effective, inclusive, and no longer subject to conflicting vested interests".
But the line in the motion about the motive to win was branded "ridiculous" by Sheffield Central candidate Joe Otten.
He asked: "Are we a liberal party or a back-of-the-envelope over-regulation party?"
And Lib Dem councillor Prue Bray said she was "furious" the motion made what she said was little reference to women's football, and suggested the authors should go on equality and diversity training.
Winding up the debate, Manchester Withington MP John Leech said even many Premier League clubs struggled to make a profit, and said many smaller sides "teeter on the brink, year after year" financially.
As well as finances, Mr Leech said the motion was about fans, who he said were "the true life blood of football".
The Commons Culture, Media and Sport committee has previously published reports calling for major changes to the way football is run in England.
The council said an external supplier who prints and posts the bills had taken "full responsibility" for the error.
Neither the tax payer nor the council would pay for the extra postage, it said.
The authority said it was investigating how many duplicate bills had been sent out.

Geoff Brown, the council's Cabinet member for Communities, said: "We will continue to liaise with the company over this error but in the meantime please be reassured that residents and businesses are only being billed once, so please ignore any duplicate bills received."
The 49-year-old was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary last Tuesday after being struck on the leg.
Work on the site at Galashiels was suspended for the remainder of the week but resumed on Monday.
A spokesman for Network Rail said: "In terms of impact on the overall programme, it will be negligible."
He said it was not expected to have any effect on the timetable for delivery of the railway.
The spokesman confirmed that a worker had suffered a serious leg injury while working on the Borders Railway project at about 12:30 on 25 November.
"We are working closely with our main contractor BAM to support our colleague and his family," he said.
"The incident is currently under investigation and it would be inappropriate for Network Rail to comment on the circumstances of the incident further at this time.
"The project team took the voluntary decision to stand the site down for the remainder of the week to allow a full investigation and review to take place. However, our teams returned to work on Monday."
The HSE confirmed it had issued two prohibition notices to prevent contractors from using the equipment involved until safety issues were addressed.
It added that its investigation into the incident was ongoing.
Passenger services are scheduled to start on the line between Edinburgh and Tweedbank by September next year.
Grealish, 20, has played for the Republic at under-21 level but turned down a call-up to the senior squad for a friendly against England.
He is named in Gareth Southgate's 20-man squad for the Toulon Tournament.
England will take on Portugal, Guinea, Paraguay and Japan in their group games later this month.
Birmingham-born Grealish qualifies for the Republic through his grandparents.

The Most Rev Justin Welby did not address Canterbury Cathedral after being confined to bed with what was described then as a "severe cold".
Lambeth Palace said the archbishop was now having further bed rest.
His sermon, an annual tradition, was instead released as a statement in which he reflected on lasting peace.
He alluded to the World War One battlefield truce on Christmas Day 1914, saying it illustrated "something of the heart of Christmas".
However, he also pointed out it was a "one-day wonder" and that the war continued afterwards.
Lambeth Palace had said the 58-year-old archbishop had been ill for several days and decided on the morning of the service that he was too unwell to make his address.
The Dean of Canterbury, the Very Reverend Robert Willis, delivered a homily in his place.
In the sermon, released in statement form, the archbishop said of the World War One truce: "The problem is that the way it is told now it seems to end with a 'happy ever after'.
"Of course we like Christmas stories with happy endings: singing carols, swapping photos, shaking hands, sharing chocolate, but the following day the war continued with the same severity.
"Nothing had changed; it was a one-day wonder. That is not the world in which we live, truces are rare."
The most recent sermon given by the archbishop was earlier this month at a cathedral in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, which is in the grip of the deadly Ebola outbreak.
He visited the country to express Britain's solidarity with the victims of the virus, and said he was "overwhelmed" by the people he met.
As well as being the leader of the Church of England, the archbishop is the spiritual leader of the 77 million-strong worldwide Anglican Communion.
The former UKIP leader said he had "no connections" to the country.
The Guardian is reporting that the FBI is interested in his links with individuals connected to Mr Trump and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
But it added he had not been accused of wrongdoing and was not a suspect or a target of the probe.
The FBI is carrying out an inquiry into Russia's alleged meddling in the US presidential election and any ties to the Trump campaign.
The Guardian quotes unnamed sources with knowledge of the investigation, who say Mr Farage had come to the attention of investigators because of his links to the Trump campaign and Mr Assange, who had a meeting with Mr Farage in March, at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he is living.
"One of the things the intelligence investigators have been looking at is points of contact and persons involved," the source is quoted as saying.
In a statement entitled "fake news", Mr Farage said: "In response to the Guardian article, it has taken me a long time to finish reading because I am laughing so much.
"This hysterical attempt to associate me with the Putin regime is a result of the liberal elite being unable to accept Brexit and the election of President Trump.
"For the record I have never been to Russia, I've had no business dealings with Russia in my previous life and I have appeared approximately three times on RT (Russia Today) in the last 18 months.
"I consider it extremely doubtful that I could be a person of interest to the FBI as I have no connections to Russia.
"My meeting with Julian Assange was organised for me by LBC Radio with a view to conducting an interview."
Mr Farage's office said he would be making no further comment on the matter.
The former UKIP leader appeared at a campaign rally with Donald Trump last August, in Mississippi, and was the first British politician to meet him in person after his election victory, at Trump Tower in New York.
The US president - who has hailed Mr Farage for bringing about Brexit - later suggested his friend should become British ambassador to the US, a suggestion that was swiftly rejected by the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
Wikileaks published thousands of hacked Hillary Clinton campaign emails during last year's US election.
US intelligence agencies claim they came from Kremlin-backed hackers, who they say had broken into the email accounts of senior Democrats and released embarrassing messages in order to help Mr Trump defeat Mrs Clinton.
The FBI confirmed in March it was investigating alleged Russian interference in the US presidential election.
The Trump administration maintains there is no evidence of "Trump-Russia collusion". Russia has always denied attempting to influence the US election.
It did not provide details, but Lebanon's al-Mayadeen TV said Mustafa Amine Badreddine died in an Israeli air strike near Damascus airport.
Israel has not commented on the claim.
Badreddine - and three other alleged Hezbollah members - is accused of assassinating former Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri in Beirut in 2005.
Announcing Badreddine's death, Hezbollah said in a statement: "He took part in most of the operations of the Islamic resistance since 1982."
Born in 1961, he is believed to have been a senior figure in Hezbollah's military wing.
He was a cousin and brother-in-law of Imad Mughniyeh, who was the military wing's chief until his assassination by car bomb in Damascus in 2008.
Badreddine is reported to have sat on Hezbollah's Shura Council and served as an adviser to the group's overall leader Hassan Nasrallah.
According to one report, a Hezbollah member interrogated by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), described Badreddine as "more dangerous" than Mughniyeh, who was "his teacher in terrorism".
They are alleged to have worked together on the October 1983 bombing of the US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut that killed 241 personnel.
He was on a US sanctions list.
Hezbollah - the Party of God - is a Shia Islamist political, military and social organisation that wields considerable power in Lebanon.
It emerged with the help of Iran during the Israeli occupation of Lebanon in the early 1980s, though its ideological roots stretch back to the Shia Islamic revival in Lebanon in the 1960s and '70s.
Moises Sanchez was abducted from his home by armed men on 2 January.
Mr Sanchez works for a newspaper in the city of Medellin and is known for his coverage of drug-related violence.
The arrests come amid a series of horrific disappearances and murders in which the security forces are alleged to be involved.
Mexicans have taken to the streets almost daily in support of 43 students who disappeared in the state of Guerrero on 26 September.
The case, in which municipal officers confessed to handing the students over to a local drug gang who are believed to have killed them, has shone a spotlight on allegations of widespread collusion between the police and organised crime.
Colleagues and friends of Mr Sanchez also voiced their concern that the security forces were involved in his abduction, holding up signs saying "It was the state" at a demonstration in the town of Xalapa on Wednesday.
Prosecutors said forensic tests were being carried out on a body found in a nearby village to establish if it could be that of Mr Sanchez.
Mexico's National Commission on Human Rights (CNDH) says 97 journalists have been killed in Mexico in connection with their work since 2010.
According to the CNDH, Veracruz is among the most dangerous Mexican states for journalists to work in.
A post-mortem examination has revealed the hen harrier, which was found on remote moorland near to Daer Reservoir in South Lanarkshire, had been shot.
RSPB Scotland said the young female bird, named Annie, had been fitted with a satellite transmitter as a chick.
The work was part of a hen harrier research project on Langholm Moor.
The alarm was raised after the tracking device suggested the bird stopped moving in mid-March.
After an extensive search, involving the police, the bird's body was found at an undisclosed location in late April.
The timing of the appeal is likely to be questioned by the supporters of grouse shooting. The shooting season officially begins on Wednesday.
Environment Minister Aileen McLeod said it was "extremely disappointing" to hear that Annie had been shot.
Ms McLeod said she expected all right-minded people involved in the countryside, including with shooting, to agree that "wildlife crime has no place in a modern Scotland".
She also said the news about Annie was "in stark contrast" to recent examples of successful Partnership Against Wildfife Crime (PAW) Scotland working to reverse the decline in the species.
Tim Baynes, Director of the Scottish Moorland Group, said: "This bird was found in April and until this morning we - as an active participant in the Partnership for Action Against Wildlife Crime - had not been informed about it by any authority."
Alex Hogg, the Scottish Gamekeepers Association chairman, described the discovery as a "setback".
"We are disappointed not to have known about it, as a PAW partner, until now, given the discovery was made in April," he said.
"As an organisation, we condemn wildlife crime but it would be wrong to pass judgement on who might be responsible until more is known."
The Queensberry Estate later issued a statement saying the bird had been found on its land but said it had no prior knowledge of the shooting.
A spokesman said: "We are deeply concerned and mystified by this incident as Queensberry Estate condemns any form of wildlife crime and are very proud of the species and habitat conservation work we undertake.
"We are aware of several hen harrier nesting sites on the estate and our keepers have been actively working to protect these birds in their habitat."
Tranmere were denied the opener by some fine defending from the visitors as the first half came to a close.
A 25-yard free-kick from Jeff Hughes was palmed away by Ben McNamara into the path of Cook whose shot hit the post before James Norwood hit the loose ball straight at McNamara.
Tranmere broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half when Cook made up for his earlier miss.
The home side were denied a second with 20 minutes to go when McNamara saved a penalty from Hughes.
McNamara also saved the follow-up from Norwood, the player he had brought down for the spot-kick to be awarded.

Ice Magic's managing director Francis Vandendorpe told Associated Press that the cooling bill would be €10,000 (£7,000, $10,700) more than expected.
Europe has experienced an unusually warm November. The temperature in Bruges will hit 16c (60F) on Sunday.
"People are expecting winter, but they don't get winter", said Mr Vandendorpe.
"The winter is coming later and later" he added.
In order to prevent the ice from melting, the festival is using 12 cooling compressors to chill the hall where the sculptors work.
Several artists have complained of catching colds from frequent changes in temperature as they enter and leave the hall.
"You get sick from it. People are getting runny noses and it's pretty hard going", sculptor Kim Arents told AP.
"Outside it is too warm, working inside it's too cold."
The unseasonably warm weather comes ahead of global climate change talks in Paris later this month.

The 2012 team dressage gold medallist won the freestyle dressage title at the London International Horse Show.
"Last year I competed there and came fifth and it was quite a difficult ride, but it was totally different this year," Hester told BBC Radio Guernsey.
"It's fairly unbelievable that he's come this far and he looks like an Olympic prospect."
Hester beat Olympic individual dressage gold medallist and stable mate Charlotte Dujardin to the title at Olympia, and says the pair are hoping they will be selected for the 2016 Olympics.
"He (Nip Tuck) was fifth at the European Championships this year and we won the team silver, so we're definitely in the running for Rio," added Hester.
"So far Charlotte and I are in the top 10 at the moment in the world rankings.

He took over a vacant seat in Cardiff Bay when Rod Richards stood down in 2002, staying there until the 2003 election.
A solicitor and Liverpool FC fan, Mr Jones was elected as the MP for Clwyd West in 2005, increasing his majority in the 2010 General Election.
Despite his experience in the assembly, political opponents have tended to portray Mr Jones as sceptical on devolution - something his allies say is unfair.
But it is a perception he will have to work to overcome - and the Labour Welsh government is likely to waste little time in trying to paint the new secretary of state as a block on their ambitions.
Not all Tory AMs will see eye-to-eye with him on every issue. But they at least have a Welsh secretary with a Welsh seat in parliament, something they had called for as it become clear that Mrs Gillan would be a victim of the reshuffle.
Married with two sons, Welsh-speaker Mr Jones - despite becoming the first Welsh Conservative MP to be Secretary of State since Nicholas Edwards - was actually born in London.
He remains the only Assembly member to have declared membership of the freemasons, although he wrote in 2009 he had not been an active member for many years.
Mr Jones, 60, is an avid tweeter and blogger - although he has been known to give up social media for Lent.
Appropriately, Twitter was the medium where it emerged that he could be in line for a promotion. Cheryl Gillan used the social networking site to announce she was leaving the cabinet early on Tuesday morning.
Mr Jones wastes little time in correcting journalists he thinks have got it wrong - earlier this summer he took reporters to task for suggesting MPs were on holiday.

Emmanuel and Antan Edet controlled every aspect of Ofonime Sunday Inuk's life in London "down to his very name", prosecutors told Harrow Crown Court.
Mr and Mrs Edet, a doctor and nurse from Perivale, also confiscated his passport, the court heard. They deny slavery and cruelty charges.
The jury heard in 1989 Mr Inuk, then aged about 14, left Nigeria with the couple after a friend introduced them.
He had been promised he would be paid for his work for them and would receive an education, the court was told.
Instead, he was forced to clean, sleep on the floor and provide childcare, and told that if he tried to run away he would be arrested as an illegal immigrant, the prosecution said.
Prosecutor Roger Smart told court the couple had "deprived the complainant of his identity, his rights to education and freedom of movement and the money he should have received".
Mr Smart said: "The victim has described as having spent 24 years of his life and having nothing to show for it - his mother has died, he has no means of returning to Nigeria.
"He was entirely dependent on them and they deprived him of his adolescence, his education and his family life. They have treated him beneath contempt."
The young man used to eat by himself, and the couple changed Mr Inuk's name so he had the same surname as them, Mr Smart said.
Mr Smart said this was not the young man's "choice nor his desire" but allowed Mr Edet to "move him not only domestically but internationally at their convenience and whim".
Mr Edet, 60 was a trained obstetrician and gynaecologist and his wife Antan, 58, was a senior sister at a hospital.
Each have pleaded not guilty to holding a person in slavery and servitude and assisting unlawful immigration.
They also deny a further count of cruelty to a person under the age of 16.
Mr Smart told the jury Mr Inuk became so dependent on the couple he had no choice but to stay with them.

Wayne Ingold, 56, suffered horrific burn injuries outside his home in Witham, Essex, on 8 August 2014.
Aaron Isaac, 19, of Elverson Road, Lewisham, south London, and a 16-year-old boy deny carrying out the attack.
Martin Mulgrew, prosecuting, said Mr Ingold was attacked after he answered the communal door at a block of flats.
"He suffered horrific burn injuries to his face and neck and but for the fact he was wearing spectacles it's likely the fluid would've gone into his eyes," he said.
Giving evidence on the first day of the trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, Mr Ingold told the jury: "[The acid] hit my hands, my face, my neck. I went into my flat and looked in the mirror.
"My face had turned yellow. It looked like melted wax."
The court heard the boy, from Mitcham, south London, who cannot be named for legal reasons, went to hospital after the attack with an acid burn to his eye.
Mr Mulgrew said: "The Crown says he was throwing acid and it splashed back into his left eye."
Both teenagers deny throwing a corrosive liquid with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The trial continues.
Mary Grams, 84, was devastated when she lost the ring while weeding on the family farm in Alberta in 2004.
But she had kept the ring's loss a secret from all but her son for more than a decade.
On Monday, her daughter-in-law discovered the secret - and the ring - when she pulled up a lumpy carrot.
The carrot had grown straight through the ring, enabling it to be plucked out after many years hiding in the soil.
She had decided not to tell her husband when she lost it, out of embarrassment, but she told her son.
She went out and bought a slightly cheaper replacement ring, and carried on as if nothing had happened.
"Maybe I did the wrong thing, but you get so worked up," she said.
No one was the wiser, until this week when her daughter-in-law Colleen Daley decided she wanted some carrots for supper.
Ms Daley, who now lives on the farm where Mrs Grams used to live, went to harvest vegetables in the garden. Lo and behold, she spotted the ring while washing a rather lumpy carrot.
Her son instantly knew who the ring must belong to, and called his mother.
Looking back, Mrs Grams said she wishes she had told her husband, who died five years ago.
He was a joker, she said, and probably would have found this whole situation pretty funny.
Now that she has it back, she said she will be more careful.
"If I am going outside or anything I am going to put it in a safe space. That is what I should have done," she said.
This is not the first time someone has found a diamond ring on a carrot. In 2011, a Swedish woman found her wedding ring 16 years after she lost it.
Lee Bo is the fifth man linked to a shop selling works critical of China's government to go missing since October.
Local legislator Albert Ho claims Mr Lee, also known as Paul Lee, was kidnapped and taken to the mainland.
The disappearance of the men has raised concerns that China is undermining the territory's legal independence.
"The government and I are highly concerned about the case," said Mr Leung, who has in the past been criticised as too willing to bend to Beijing's will.
He stressed there was "no indication" that Chinese agents were involved, but added: "If mainland Chinese law enforcement personnel are carrying out duties in Hong Kong, it would be unacceptable."
The Foreign Office says it is investigating reports that Mr Lee may hold a British passport.
Juliana Liu: The case of the missing HK bookseller.
Lee Bo disappeared last week.
His wife says he called her from Shenzhen, just over the border in mainland China, and told her he is helping with an investigation.
She says his home return permit, which Hong Kong citizens must show to enter China, is still at home - something Albert Ho points to as evidence he may have been abducted by security agents.
Mr Lee was the colleague who raised the alarm when four of his colleagues at the tiny Causeway Bay Bookstore and related publishing house, Mighty Current, went missing in October.
One of them, publishing house owner Gui Minhai, was last seen in Thailand. The other three were last seen in mainland China.
His disappearance last Wednesday has sparked an outcry in Hong Kong, where some suspect the men's disappearance is connected to a book the publisher may have been planning about an alleged former mistress of Chinese President Xi Jinping, when he was already married to folk singer Peng Liyuan.
There has been no official comment form the Chinese authorities. But in a recent opinion piece (in Chinese), the Global Times, a mouthpiece of the government, criticised accusations that the "one country, two systems" model was in jeopardy.
Hong Kong enjoys press freedoms not available in China, although some publishers had already begun to complain about growing pressure from Beijing.
The bookshop closed a day after Mr Lee's disappearance.

Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK and Ireland where same-sex marriage is still banned.
The issue is one of the major stumbling blocks in the ongoing negotiations to restore power-sharing at Stormont.
It has been getting a lot of media attention recently after Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, which opposes same-sex marriage, entered into a deal with UK Prime Minister Theresa May after she failed to get a majority at Westminster in the general election.
The DUP rejects accusations it is homophobic, insisting it is instead protecting the "traditional" definition of marriage.
A number of celebrities, including actor and writer Stephen Fry and singer Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, shared their views with Amnesty International, one of the leading members of the Love Equality coalition organising the march in Belfast on Saturday 1 July.
Ballymena-born actor Liam Neeson said: "We've had enough of a history in our society in Northern Ireland of discrimination, mistrust and hatred.
"Yet, we're also an open-hearted, welcoming and terrific people. Let us show that to the world by treating gay, lesbian and transgender peoples as our brothers and sisters and allowing them to marry, if they so wish."
TV presenter Norton said the historic referendum that approved same-sex marriage in the Irish Republic was a "proud gay day".
"My own mother was from Northern Ireland, so of course I have a huge affection for the place and its people," he said.
"I know it is hugely frustrating for gay people there that it is the last part of these islands still without marriage equality. Especially when there is such overwhelming support for it among the public."
County Down-born singer Lightbody added: "Two years ago, I marched with 20,000 fellow Northern Ireland citizens for marriage equality. It was a beautiful day of hope, joy and solidarity and I was so proud to be from 'Norn Iron'.
"Two years on and somehow - defying reason given it's the will of the people - we still do not have marriage equality in Northern Ireland."
Coleraine-born actress Waugh, who will host the parade rally at Belfast City Hall, said: "With the spotlight on Northern Ireland at the minute, now is our chance to really step up our campaigning a gear and give Northern Ireland what it so clearly wants and deserves, finally - equal marriage."

Many growers blame the weak pound which has reduced their workers' earning power, as well as uncertainty over Brexit, according to a BBC survey.
About 80,000 seasonal workers a year pick and process British fruit and veg.
Most of them are from the European Union, mainly Romania and Bulgaria.
One in five growers says they already have fewer pickers than they need.
British Summer Fruits, the body which represents soft fruit growers, says labour shortages are now the worst seen since 2004.
Recruitment was getting harder even before the vote to leave the EU. But the industry believes Brexit is exacerbating the problem and if access to non-UK workers dries up, it could cripple home-grown berry production.
Their concern is backed up by an in-depth survey of growers by the BBC.
The questionnaire was sent to members of the British Leafy Salad Association and British Summer Fruits, which represent 90% of growers in their sector.
There was a big response. Three-quarters of growers completed the survey, which was carried out between 16 May and 5 June, as harvesting started to peak.
We asked if they had enough seasonal workers for the start of the main picking season:
Meanwhile, 78% of respondents said recruitment had been more difficult than last year, with 20% saying it had been the hardest for years.
At Wilkin and Sons in Essex, the picking season for strawberries is in full swing. But this year, they have 20% fewer workers than they would like.
"We're managing, but we're not comfortable," said joint managing director Chris Newenham.
"Our seasonal workers are a critical resource for us to be able to save our crop each year. And the logical extension of not being able to harvest that crop is that we will have to bring our production in from overseas and that's a position none of us want to see. "
He's not the only one. Of those surveyed, 71% said they would consider reducing UK production if there were future restrictions on seasonal workers.
British Summer Fruits has commissioned its own separate report, just published, on the potential implications for its growers, and consumers, of Brexit.
It warns that soft fruit prices could rise by up to 50% if the UK relied solely on imports.
"It is inconceivable that people who voted to leave the European Union wanted to destroy an iconic and incredibly competitive British horticulture industry," said Laurence Olins, chairman of British Summer Fruits.
"Failure to secure the future of soft fruit production in the UK will have a negative impact on the economy, family budgets, the nation's health, UK food security and the environment," he added.
So why doesn't horticulture, now a £3bn industry, simply try to employ British workers?
The answer is straightforward for Beverley Dixon, from G's Fresh, which employs some 2,500 seasonal workers growing salad crops across large areas of Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, as well as other farms dotted across the UK.
"We operate in areas of such low unemployment, so here in Cambridgeshire, it's less than 1.5%," she said.
"So there simply aren't the people available to do the work, added to which UK people tend to want permanent year-round work and this is seasonal work.'
Reliance on migrant workers isn't a specific challenge for the UK, according to David Swales, analyst at the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board.
"If we look at other developed countries around the world, places like Australia and New Zealand, they source labour from the Pacific Islands.
"In the US, they source labour from Mexico and the Caribbean countries. So there are a number of places where countries have to go outside their borders to source the seasonal workers that they need," he added.
The nationalities of these workers have changed over the decades in the UK. There used to be a seasonal agricultural workers scheme which allowed growers and farmers to attract workers from across the world.
The industry says it worked and believes it's the obvious solution now Britain has decided to leave the EU.
During a recent select committee inquiry into seasonal labour shortfalls, the government said net migration figures showed that sufficient labour was available in the UK and that there was currently no need for a seasonal agricultural workers scheme for migrants.
The BBC survey is hard evidence that recruitment has proved tougher this year, with some shortages reported.
A government spokesperson said: "The government places great value on the UK's food and farming industries, both as a crucial component of the UK economy and of the fabric of rural Britain.
"We are determined to get the best deal for the UK in our negotiations to leave the EU, not least for our world-leading food and farming industry, which is a key part of our nation's economic success."

Clarke said he "wouldn't recommend" a player coming out "at the moment".
He added they would be "taking a risk" of "vile abuse" and could not yet be offered the "required protection".
A BBC Radio 5 live survey found 8% of football fans would stop watching their team if they signed a gay player.
Clarke told 5 live on Wednesday he stood by his "personal view" that abuse from a "small minority on the terraces" must be solved before any gay footballers come out.
He said the FA needs to "redouble its efforts to provide that safe space", which he hoped to achieve in a "year or two".
But Hirst, 28, who has signed for Super League side Wakefield, told the BBC: "What he said was that he didn't think it was the right time for a footballer to come out, which begs the question: when is the right time?

Hirst's previous club Batley Bulldogs banned a fan in September, for sending homophobic tweets to Hirst and his friend, Coronation Street actor Anthony Cotton.
He added: "Eventually someone is going to take the plunge and I think there are lots of things in place for footballers to get the support they need from the club, supporters' bodies and social media.
"So what he is saying is pretty negative and a bit old-fashioned.
"Maybe if he got out on terraces a bit more and saw what was really going on, he wouldn't make comments like that. "
Last week Clarke told MPs he was "cautious" of encouraging a player to come out because they may suffer "significant abuse" from fans.
He said he was "personally ashamed" that players do not feel safe to come out.
Ex-England winger Chris Waddle agreed with Clarke's view. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live sport, he said: "It's ignorance. You can go to any ground - whether it is 75,000 or 700 - and there are going to be idiots in football. We always know that, so unfortunately, I totally agree, it's not right yet to come out.
"It is just the mentality of the game. I'm not saying it is everyone - it's just a small minority - but until they clean football up, which I don't think will happen, does that player need that sort of abuse? No. I think it will be the last sport where it comes out."
In an online survey of more than 4,000 people commissioned by 5 live's Afternoon Edition and carried out by ComRes, 82% of sports fans said they would have no issue with a gay player playing for their club.
And 47% of all sports fans - 50% of football supporters - say they have heard homophobic abuse at matches, while 71% of football fans said clubs should do more to educate fans about homophobia.
An FA spokesman said it "welcomed the statistics" as a "sense check" on homophobia.
It said it takes "strong action" against anyone found guilty of homophobic, biphobic or transphobic abuse.
Keegan Hirst, who was guest editor on BBC Radio 5 live's Afternoon Edition on Wednesday.
There are 4,000 members of the Professional Footballers' Association. Apparently one in 10 people are gay, so maths dictates that 400 footballers are gay. To have not one come out is a big question. It is the last taboo.
You can get away with homophobia. For racism we have campaigns, such as Kick It Out. Racism is zero tolerance. Homophobia needs to be tackled with the same verve. Prejudice is prejudice.
The by-product of having an openly gay sportsman and woman is becoming a role model for younger people. It is about breaking down stereotypes - all things that leads towards equality in society, not just in sport. You have to remember sport mirrors society.
It is down to the FA. In 2010, the Rugby Football League fined Castleford £40,000 for homophobic abuse at Crusaders winger Gareth Thomas. In rugby league, that money can pay a player's wage for a year.
In football, you are talking millions in relative terms. Suddenly there is a zero-tolerance policy. Money is a big issue and it's a business at the end of the day.

The concerns come after it emerged that more than 800 women are taking legal action against the NHS over the use of vaginal mesh implants.
One woman said she was left "screaming on all fours from the agonising pain".
NHS England said mesh implants had been successfully used to treat hernias for several decades.
The material is its "recommended method" for treating the condition. It is used on tens of thousands of patients every year.
A hernia occurs when an organ or fatty tissue pokes through a gap where muscle has weakened. It most commonly takes place in the groin.
The use of mesh involves pushing bulging tissue back into the abdomen and covering it with the material, and can be delivered via open or keyhole surgery.
Leila Hackett had an umbilical hernia mesh repair in 2013.
"Straightaway I could feel the mesh," she said. "It was like somebody scratching you from inside your body, it's so unpleasant and constant.
"It started off like fiery burning agony but it never stopped hurting or itching."
The mother-of-two spoke to her GP about her pain many times, but was told the mesh was not the problem.
Two years later, she was taken to hospital after the material had become stuck to her internal organs, causing her bowel to twist.
"The pain got so agonising I was just screaming on all fours," Mrs Hackett explained.
During her operation, the surgeon spent four hours picking the material out.
"As soon as I came round, I knew the mesh had been removed because I felt normal again," she said.
One in 10 people will develop a hernia, and some experts are concerned about the "thousands of hernia mesh patients who are living with chronic pain".
Former general surgeon, Peter Jones, from Kent, spent much of his career removing mesh from British groin hernia patients.
"Severe pain is a common problem and patients aren't being warned about it," Mr Jones said.
"At least half of patients who have a mesh repair will have a smooth recovery, but in my opinion the risks of a poor outcome are so bad, I wouldn't want to take that risk.
"I think litigation will come into this. If enough people got together and said, 'We are suffering and we weren't warned about it', that could put a dent into the mesh repair for hernias."
Watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.
Martin Kincey, 39, started experiencing pain in 2011, 12 years after he had a mesh repair for his inguinal hernia.
"I used to play all sorts of sports," he explained. "But now the simplest of movements can be seriously painful. It feels like I have been stabbed with something hot."
Martin has had multiple scans, blood tests and colonoscopies, which have all come back clear.
"They've ruled out everything this could be, other than pursuing the mesh complications," he said.
"There must be thousands of people who are experiencing pain who don't realise it could be the mesh.
"It might not be to blame, but until it's investigated, how can we know?"
While studies show 10% to 15% of groin hernias patients will experience chronic pain following a repair, surgeons say more research is needed for less common hernias.
There is a mesh-free alternative for patients with groin hernias, which some surgeons have called for the NHS to teach its staff, so patients can have a choice.
The Shouldice hernia repair involves a surgeon overlapping and securing layers of the abdominal wall, once a bulge has been placed back inside a patient's body.
The technique was created at the Shouldice Hernia Centre in Toronto, which has a 99.5% lifetime success rate for treating first-time groin hernias.
According to NHS Choices, 10% of hernias come back at some point after surgery.
However, NHS England said the Shouldice repair was hard to replicate in its hospitals.
It said mesh repairs had been undertaken extensively and successfully in the UK for several decades.
The Royal College of Surgeons said while "any poor outcomes are regrettable", mesh implants were the "most effective" way to deal with a hernia.
The 2014 winners ran in 10 tries in all against the world number eight side.
Megan Jones crossed in the first minute, before Wilson scored her first of the match three minutes later, completing her hat-trick on 31 minutes.
Diana Gasso got Spain off the mark, but the world number ones responded with six more tries in the second half.
Replacement Emily Scarratt crossed only two minutes after coming on, and scores from Harriet Millar-Mills, Wilson, Alex Matthews, Amy Cokayne and Lydia Thompson completed the rout.
England will now face Italy on Sunday (14:30 BST) before their final Pool B game against the United States, a three-time finalist, on Thursday, 17 August.
Wing Wilson, who plays her club rugby for Richmond, scored a record seven tries against Scotland in the Women's Six Nations in March and her fine form continued in Dublin.
After Jones had crossed for the Red Roses in the first minute, Wilson touched down in the corner to give England a 14-0 lead.
The 25-year-old, who has 47 caps for her country, was gifted her second by a superb Katy Mclean cross-field kick and she grabbed a hat-trick and the bonus point after being freed by full-back Danielle Waterman and bumping off her opposite number before diving over.
Wilson's fourth came on 54 minutes after some intuitive build-up play from midfield duo Rachael Burford and Jones, who impressed throughout.

Head coach Simon Middleton opted to field a new-look side against Spain, leaving a combined 392 caps of experience on the bench.
England looked in control throughout, and continuously exposed their opposition in attack.
However, the Red Roses will need to improve their accuracy against the more threatening teams in the competition if they are to retain their title, especially in the line-out.
Mclean, the victorious skipper in 2014, looked in fine form in open play but could only land two conversions, while Scarratt managed only one when she took over kicking duties.
And it was an England handling error that led to Gasso going over after a fantastic attacking break from fly-half Patricia Garcia.
Captain Sarah Hunter told ITV: "We're happy to get a win under our belts.
"It's job one done. There's plenty for us to improve for our next game."
England: Waterman; Thompson, Jones, Burford, Wilson; Mclean, Riley; Cornborough, Kerr, Bern, Scott, Aldcroft, Millar-Mills, Noel-Smith, Hunter (c).
Replacements: Cokayne, Clark, Lucas, Cleall, Matthews, Mason, Reed, Scarratt.
Spain: Pla, Casado, Erbina, Bravo, Echebarria, Garcia, Fernandez, Jaurena, Gonzalez (c), Vinueza, Garcia, Ribera, Gasso, Medin, Redondo.
Replacements: Rica, Macias, Garcia, Castelo, Del Pan, Ahis, Rial, Meliz
Her seven-year-old daughter Nargis sits beside her, leafing through her textbooks. A table fan blows directly onto them, a fervent but ineffective warrior in the heat. On the wall behind the bed is a cabinet filled with toys for Nargis.
Nurjahan, almost 29, is now in her last month of treatment for multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) - a type of tuberculosis which is unresponsive or resistant to at least two of the first line of anti-TB drugs.
MDR-TB often develops due to mismanagement of treatment, misuse of anti-TB drugs, use of poor quality medicine or when a patient doesn't complete the TB regimen.
Drug-resistant TB is harder and more expensive to diagnose and treat, often pushing families into poverty. India is estimated to have close to 100,000 cases of MDR-TB.
In 2008, Nurjahan was taking care of her elder sister, who was an MDR-TB patient being treated in Delhi.
Her sister did not survive, as her diagnosis had been delayed and she didn't get appropriate treatment.
Soon after, Nurjahan started coughing and was diagnosed with drug sensitive TB. She was put on the government's free treatment and pronounced cured after six months. In 2009, she married her sister's husband, who is also her cousin.
It's unclear why her TB returned, but in 2010 Nurjahan was coughing again. This time she went to a local doctor in Katwa in Burdwan district. He also diagnosed her with drug sensitive TB.
Nurjahan was not convinced and went to the Katwa government hospital and got herself tested to confirm his diagnosis. The results left her devastated.
"I thought six months of treatment was the end of TB. Nobody tells you it can happen again and again," she says bitterly. Unfortunately, neither doctor tested her for drug-resistance - a practice that is widespread in India even today.
Nurjahan has now been on treatment for almost four years for a disease that is usually cured within six-24 months.
She frequently looks out of the window by which she sits - sometimes all day - trying hard to recollect dates, but often mixing them up.
"Nurjahan was given category one drugs [used for the treatment of new patients] once but given category two drugs twice despite failure the first time. Weren't you?" Rano, her counsellor, a relatively young but persuasive woman reminds her.
Nurjahan nods vigorously.
Recognising that category one had failed, in 2010 Nurjahan was started on category two, a more intensive set of drugs, with more virulent side-effects.
With no improvement in test results, she was given category two drugs again in 2011, instead of being tested for drug resistance.
"What could we do? There was no treatment for drug resistant TB available then," says Rano helplessly.
The government program for the treatment of MDR-TB was yet to begin. This repeated use of ineffective treatment possibly exacerbated her resistance.
She was still on category two drugs when a national laboratory was established in Kolkata.
Her sputum sample was sent there for a drug sensitivity test and came back positive, confirming MDR TB.
The government treatment program for MDR-TB had also begun, and she was finally put on the correct treatment.
Despite the misdiagnosis and four years of treatment, Nurjahan refused to give up. She was determined to get well and be a good mother.
Her biggest fear was infecting Nargis. So for several months in her first year of treatment, Nargis stayed away from her and was looked after by her mother-in-law.
Throughout her illness, Nurjahan's mother took care of her. She moved into the house intermittently, often for months, to take care of her and Nargis. "I would not have survived without her or my husband's support," says Nurjahan.
The treatment for MDR-TB was hard to tolerate.
Nurjahan winces as she recalls that time. "Sometimes, my whole body would break into small rashes and my stomach would burn for months."
There are still rashes over small areas on her face and body. Not surprisingly, Nurjahan often contemplated giving up, but the constant presence of Nargis stopped her.
Initially, Nur's husband panicked with her diagnosis.
However, the doctors' counselling helped and he understood that MDR-TB was treatable.
The doctor advised him to improve her nutrition but money was limited. As a result, her husband, who is a tailor, moved to Bangalore to make more money. "We couldn't afford my food and her education with work here," Nur says, gesturing gently towards Nargis.
Despite living in the same house, few in her husband's family helped her during her illness.
Yet, they surround her as she recounts her story. Her father-in-law interrupts her constantly, assuring us that they are all concerned about her. Nurjahan falls silent.
Nurjahan is excited about her last month of treatment.
She asks her counsellor softly if she can become a mother post treatment. She wants to send Nargis to a better school and bring her husband back home.
"I want to make my family whole again," she says smiling looking out of the window at a glorious orange evening sky.
The story is an adapted excerpt from a book titled Voices from TB by Chapal Mehra. The research was supported by the Lilly MDR-TB Partnership.
Calbee Inc - Japan's largest producer of savoury snacks - is opening a new factory in Flintshire, which is its first investment in Europe.
The news was announced in Japan by Wales' Economy Minister Edwina Hart and Calbee chairman Akira Matsumoto.
The move is backed with undisclosed business finance from the Welsh government.
A Welsh government spokesperson said the investment the firm received was 'commercially confidential'.
Mrs Hart said: "I am delighted to announce this important new inward investment for Wales.
"Calbee is the latest in a long line of highly prestigious Japanese companies that have invested in Wales and I welcome their decision to establish their first European plant in Wales."
Mr Matsumoto said: "We are very excited to establish our first European factory in Wales.
"We are making a long-term commitment to grow our business from this important base in Deeside.
"I appreciate both the Welsh government and everyone's dedication and support for its successful establishment."
Calbee (UK)'s new facility on Deeside Industrial Park will begin manufacturing savoury snacks in the first half of 2015.
Under proposals to be outlined in its manifesto on Tuesday, Labour would create nine new public bodies to run the water and sewage system in England.
By ending the practice of paying dividends to shareholders, party sources say bills would be reduced by around £100 a year per household.
Labour will also promise 30 hours free childcare for two to four-year-olds.
Jeremy Corbyn will unveil a "radical and responsible" plan for government, pledging to change the country and govern "for the many not the few".
He will vow to reverse the austerity of recent years but also to "manage within our means".
A draft version of the document, which was leaked last week, committed a future Labour government to taking the railways and the Royal Mail back into public ownership while also nationalising the electricity distribution and transmission networks.
Labour's plans would also see the water industry, which was sold off by the government of Margaret Thatcher in 1989, return to public hands.
If elected on 8 June, it would create nine new public bodies to run the water and sewage system in England and Wales, that would be publicly accountable, retaining the existing workforce.
Party sources say by ending the practice of paying dividends to shareholders and reducing interest payments on debt, bills would be reduced by around £100 a year per household - the equivalent of a cut in water bills of around 25%.
The industry would be taken into public ownership either by simply buying the shares of the existing companies or by a compulsory measure whereby companies would have to be given government bonds in exchange for the shares.
A Labour source said: "Under Labour, rather than answering to its shareholders out to make a quick buck at the expense of increasing household bills and worsening service quality, utilities will be accountable to the bill payer, helping ease the burden of those struggling with the cost of living crisis."
There are currently 10 major water and sewage companies in England and Wales.
Thames Water, the largest in terms of customers and value, has a market value of about £12bn. Its shareholders include the Canadaian pension fund Omers, the Kuwait Investment Authority and pension funds and institutions from across the world.
Companies listed on the stock market include Severn Trent, United Utilities and Pennon Group, which owns South West Water. They have combined market value of £17bn.
The water industry is already effectively in public ownership in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Scottish Water is a statutory corporation accountable to the Scottish government while Northern Ireland Water became a government-owned company in 2007.
In Wales, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water is operated for "the public benefit".
There will also be a commitment in the manifesto to provide 30 hours of free childcare for all two to four-year-olds, covering 1.3 million children.
Labour is yet to publish its full costings for these policies and will not reveal their full plans for taxation until the manifesto is published.
They have been clear that they will increase income tax for the wealthiest 5% of taxpayers earning more than £80,000 a year and increase corporation tax by 19% to 26%.
Mr Corbyn will contrast his "programme of hope" with what he will claim is Theresa May's "fear" based campaign and her "tight-fisted, mean-spirited" party.
"People want a country run for the many not the few," he will say.
"For the last seven years, our people have lived through the opposite, a Britain run for the rich, the elite and the vested interests. Labour's mission, over the next five years, is to change all that.
"It's a programme that will reverse our national priorities to put the interests of the many first. It will change our country while managing within our means. This is a programme of hope."
The Conservatives said taxpayers would have to foot the bill for Labour's unfunded spending commitments.
"Jeremy Corbyn's economic ideas are nonsensical," said Treasury minister David Gauke. "It is clear that Labour would have to raise taxes dramatically because his sums don't add up."
The Taian Table, which opened in April and served Western dishes, was described by Michelin as "graceful" and praised for its "clever recipes".
But neighbours living above had complained of kitchen smoke and noise.
The restaurant - one of 26 in the city to gain a star in the guide's first China edition - said it would relocate.
"Our idea and concept was to build a small place to entertain our friends and to have some foodies and chef friends around to create new and imaginative dishes," Taian Table said in a statement.
It added that it had never intentionally violated any rules.
The restaurant apologised to diners who had booked tables and said it was moving to bigger premises and would apply for all required licenses.
Residents told AFP news agency they had petitioned to have the restaurant closed down.
"The noise is always there, with the stereo subwoofer vibrating. It's so hot where we live, but we can't open our windows," said Zhang Fuzhen, who lives in the building.
Taian Table offered a 14-course menu and a 10-course menu, reportedly priced at 1,288 yuan ($193; £148) and 988 yuan, including dishes such as grilled endives, lobster and Wagyu beef.
It was run under the direction of German chef Stefan Stiller, who has previously opened a series of restaurants in the city.
A US military spokesman described the lull as "a loose agreement" which he hoped would solidify.
Kurdish sources say a ceasefire is in place but a Turkish-backed Syrian rebel commander rejected the term.
Turkish forces have been attacking Kurdish fighters since crossing the border last week.
Turkey is alarmed by the growing power of Kurdish forces, which have proved to be strong allies of the US-led coalition fighting IS.
"In the last several hours, we have received assurance that all parties involved are going to stop shooting at each other and focus on the Isil (IS) threat," said Col John Thomas of US Central Command.
"It's a loose agreement for at least the next couple of days and we are hoping that will solidify."
US state department spokesman John Kirby would not comment on whether a ceasefire was in place, but said the clashes had stopped "and that's the outcome that we want".
"We don't want to see them fighting each other, we want to see everybody in the coalition... focus our efforts on Daesh," he said, used another name for IS.
Turkish forces and allied factions of the rebel Free Syrian Army (FSA) forced IS out of the Syrian border city of Jarablus last Wednesday and have since pounded neighbouring villages held by the Kurdish-led, US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF).
Turkey has insisted that Kurdish militia, which it regards as terrorists, retreat east across the Euphrates river.
The Jarablus Military Council, which is backed by the SFD, said a truce had been reached with Turkey "via the United states and the international coalition".
But a Turkish-backed Syrian rebel commander described it only as a "pause" in the fighting and said military operations would soon resume.
The Turkish foreign ministry would only say that it was waiting for Kurdish forces to "fulfil a promise" and retreat east of the Euphrates "as soon as possible".
Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said Kurdish-led forces were "shamelessly using the war in Syria to create a de-facto terrorist state in Syria", adding: "Turkey will not allow that."
Caixinha made the claim when he arrived at Ibrox in March and repeated it in August after a Europa League exit to Progres Niederkorn from Luxembourg.
"If he thinks he can keep pace with Celtic, I don't know what he's watching," Commons told BBC Scotland.
"I just don't understand what warrants him saying he has the best squad."
Celtic completed an unprecedented unbeaten domestic treble last season, earning their six consecutive title - 39 points ahead of Rangers in third.
While Brendan Rodgers' side have won their first three league outings this term, Caixinha's men have dropped points in two games and are five points behind their Glasgow rivals.
That leaves the Portuguese with a record of nine wins in 17 matches since he took over.
"I think it's more of a hope than looking at a team performance and training from Monday to Friday and thinking 'you know what, we are the real deal'," said Commons, who is recovering from back surgery after leaving Celtic in the summer.
Rangers were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Hearts on Saturday, having lost 3-2 to Hibernian at Ibrox the week before.
And Commons was quick to point out that Celtic had no trouble sweeping Hearts aside 4-1 at the start of August.
"A goalless draw with Hearts; Celtic could have taken seven off them on the opening game of the season," he said.
Rangers visit Ross County next and Commons, 33, thinks the manager could be under pressure from fans if the result does not go his way.
"Now they go to Dingwall, which is no pushover," he said. "If he loses that; travelling down three hours in a car, I think there will be a few folk making phone calls saying 'next week, get the banners out'."
Aberdeen also boast a 100% record after three games, having finished distant runners-up behind Celtic for the third year running and losing in both cup finals last season.
Wingers Jonny Hayes and Niall McGinn left the Dons over the summer and it looked like manager Derek McInnes would follow suit before he turned down the chance to join Sunderland.
"The biggest thing Aberdeen got sorted out was Derek's contract," said Commons.
"I think he feels he's not far away from adding a trophy to their cabinet. I think he's close.
"He probably felt for 65-70 minutes against Celtic in the Scottish Cup final he was close.
"There were signs there that, if Celtic are on an off day, he's got a chance of winning a trophy.
"They've recruited well and they probably look a better unit now, with more pace going forward, than they were 12 months ago and that's hard to believe when you lose McGinn and Hayes."
A Twitter post showing a sign outside a Scottish bar went viral before the club's 2-0 Champions League win over Celtic, after the author seemingly gave up attempting to spell "Monchengladbach" - instead opting for "A German Team".
Gladbach saw the funny side, changing their own English account's Twitter handle to "A German Team" and using it on their team-sheet on social media.
They also gave fans the chance to grab a piece of merchandise, but the club's head of corporate communications, Markus Aretz, says scarves were in such demand Gladbach have ordered another 2,000 to sell before Tuesday's return group game against the Scottish champions.
"It went big and was a big laugh on that day," Aretz told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We know it is a difficult name and not a club like Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United that's well known around the world, although we had a big history in the 1970s.
"It is hard to pronounce our name. We don't get offended. Everybody thought it was a good joke."
Today one admitted it.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan fell victim to an open microphone after giving an assembly answer on the built heritage.
After sitting down he was overheard remarking to a colleague "that was pure waffle".
Shortly afterwards on Twitter, he held his hands up, tweeting: "Frustrated that I had been unable to give a better, more concise answer to an important supplementary question. I felt I waffled."
Later on, a veteran Alliance assembly member accused yet another minister of waffling saying he had taken too long to answer questions.
Kieran McCarthy called the performance by Health Minister Simon Hamilton "a disgrace".
He called on ministers to "give less waffle and more answers to get through the business".
The competition, held in Nancy, was entitled "My thesis in three minutes".
One of the 27 finalists compared a molecule to a "club bouncer in reverse" who lets people in but not out.
The winner used a metaphor about love to explain research on "low-temperature tunnelling spectroscopy of a graphene on superconducting rhenium".
PhD student Alexandre Artaud said electrons faced a choice between pairing up thanks to "superconductivity which allows love between two particles", or graphene, which enhances performance but at a cost.
He compared this to doctoral students having to choose between love and research, AFP news agency reports.
"I don't want to choose. I want doctoral students in love - and electrons that are both paired up and performing," he explained.
"My thesis in three minutes" was co-sponsored by the National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS) - France's main research body.
Most of the finalists were women. The jury was composed of academics unfamiliar with the subjects covered.

Up to five wells will be drilled before hook-up and commissioning activity starts on the Mariner A platform next summer.
First oil is expected to be produced from Mariner in 2018.
The pre-drilling campaign is expected to support about 500 jobs in the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS).
Mariner, which lies about 93 miles (150km) east of Shetland, is one of the largest projects currently under development in the UKCS.
The heavy oil field has reserves estimated at more than 250 million barrels of oil, with an average plateau production of about 55,000 barrels per day.
Hedda Felin, managing director of Statoil Production UK, said: "This is an exciting period for us as a UKCS operator as we transition from the planning phase to active offshore operations.
"Pre-drilling enables production to reach plateau levels more quickly after the start of operations on Mariner A.
"It will also be an important learning period for us, in terms of understanding the reservoir and identifying potential efficiencies for future wells, with safety and the protection of the environment being our fundamental priorities."
One of the world's largest jack-up rigs, The Noble Lloyd Noble, is currently positioned over the Mariner jacket, which was installed in 2015.
The first production wells will be drilled through a well deck on the jacket.
Up to five wells will be drilled before the platform topside modules arrive in mid-2017. They are currently under construction in South Korea.
Statoil said that up to 100 reservoir targets could be drilled over the lifetime of the Mariner field, based on the current development strategy.
The operator had hoped to get production under way next year. However, in October 2015 it announced it was postponing the start, citing delays at construction yards in South Korea.
Statoil has a 65.1% stake in Mariner. It co-venturers are JX Nippon Exploration & Production (UK) Ltd (20%), Siccar Point Energy (8.9%) and Dyas Mariner Ltd (6%).
The 4th annual Trans Pride event, organised by a not-for-profit group, took place on Saturday, with a main event at Brunswick Square.
Brighton & Hove city councillor Phelim Mac Cafferty was one of a number of Green councillors at the event.
He said the trans communities were "a hugely valued part of our city and we are proud to stand together with them".
He added: "Despite the work of the council and others, huge issues still face the trans community.
"This march is an excellent opportunity to remind everyone that there is still much to do to stand up for trans equality."
Brighton police station flew a Trans Pride flag to celebrate the event and the Diversity Team at Sussex Police tweeted that it was "dedicated to supporting our trans community".
The Sussex force was criticised for decorating a patrol car in rainbow colours for a Pride event last year.
This year it has gone one step further and emblazoned a van.
He had to command a robot rover on Earth, driving it across a big sandpit in Stevenage, near London, that simulated the surface of Mars.
The Briton experienced some software glitches, but achieved his objectives.
These involved finding a series of painted targets in a darkened room that had been set up to represent a cave on the Red Planet.
It was all part of a European Space Agency (Esa) project which aims to learn how astronauts can control remote systems on other worlds.
Known as Meteron (Multi-Purpose End-To-End Robotic Operation Network), the programme has already seen Danish ISS crewman Andreas Mogensen get a robot on Earth to precisely place some pegs in a set of holes.
But Major Tim's job, which got under way at 15:00 BST (14:00 GMT), took things up a notch in terms of complexity.
One of his big obstacles was time. His control link had to transmit down to Earth, bounce through numerous communications nodes, before reaching the robot in its simulation "Mars yard" at the Airbus Defence and Space Company.
It meant every command - and all the feedback - had several seconds of associated delay. His link also had some drop-outs.
At one point, he hit a big rock, which required the intervention of local Airbus engineers to sort out; and then there were some software glitches on the laptops he was using in orbit.
But despite all this, Major Tim managed to race through his tasks, finding and mapping five targets in the cave. These targets were boulders that had been painted to show up in the UV light shone from the rover's masthead.
The astronaut managed to get in and out of the cave within two hours.
"That was great driving," Esa's operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany, told the Briton. "Everyone on the ground is really proud of you. You succeeded to mark five targets. One was actually marked twice due to a software reboot."
Major Tim responded: "Thanks for everyone's help and support. It was an awful lot of work on everyone's behalf to get this up and running, but it was great to see, and I'm really happy everything went so smoothly."
Both of the US space agency rovers on the Red Planet today, and those planned in coming years, use a high level of autonomy. Once instructed to go to a location, the vehicles will sense their surroundings and compute the most efficient route. But it is a very slow process.
The scenario suggested by Friday's simulation is the possibility that we might one day have an astronaut in orbit above Mars who could assist a surface robot in investigating a location that engineers would normally try to avoid.
Going into a cave would be extremely risky. The lack of light would make it harder for the sensors on the autonomous navigation system to discern hazards. And with no sunlight falling on the robot's solar panels, the amount of energy available to operate in the cave might very quickly become an issue.
Having a human in the loop could help speed up decision-making, ensuring the rover completes its science investigations with enough time to get back outside the cave and start recharging its batteries.
Airbus DS is leading the development of the rover that Esa will send to Mars in 2018 or, more likely, in 2020. As part of this project, it uses a number of "breadboard" robots to test flight hardware and software.
For Friday's experiment, Major Tim was controlling the breadboard known as Bridget.
A webcast of the trial was streamed on the Airbus DS website and the Principia website of Major Tim himself. Updates were also posted on the Twitter feeds of @esaoperations and @esa_meteron.

Virgin Care is to take over services at Sittingbourne Memorial, Sheppey and Gravesham hospitals and Livingstone Hospital in Dartford.
The NHS clinical commissioning group (CCG) said Virgin Care came top of four shortlisted bids.
Kent Community Health Foundation Trust (KCHFT), which currently runs part of the service, said it was disappointed.
Sir Richard Branson's company will take over community nursing, community hospital services, intermediate care, community neuro-rehabilitation, speech and language therapy, podiatry and continence services from 1 April.
Virgin already runs similar services in other areas of England, including in neighbouring Surrey.
The new contract is worth just over £18m per year for the next seven years, and could be extended by three years.
Staff employed by the existing providers, Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust and Medway Community Healthcare, will be able to transfer to Virgin.
"We have a strong track record of delivering NHS community health care services which are highly rated by patients," said Virgin Care regional director Richard Comerford.
"We're very excited to have the opportunity to deliver these services across Dartford, Gravesham, Swanley and Swale."
KCHFT lead governor Ken Rogers said he was unhappy the contract had been awarded to a private contractor.
"Foundation trusts have at their core public governors, elected by the local community, to look after their interests in building and monitoring these services which is not the case for private contractors," he said.
"This change is against all the values of public representation that I stand for."
Syrian state TV broadcast pictures of buses leaving the rebel enclave and entering a government-controlled area.
A UN official also told Reuters news agency that the evacuation had resumed.
Activists said 60 buses were stuck in the rebel enclave overnight, forcing 3,000 people to wait in freezing weather with little to eat or drink.
Reasons for the hold-up were not clear. But state media blamed rebels in neighbouring Idlib province, accusing them of preventing the simultaneous evacuation of two pro-government Shia towns there.
After waiting more than a day, the first five buses in the convoy left the rebel enclave and crossed into government-held Ramousseh on Wednesday afternoon.
By late in the evening, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based group that monitors the civil war, was reporting that all rebel fighters had left the eastern districts, putting the city under the full control of the Syrian government.
However, representatives from the UN and the US state department told Reuters this was not yet confirmed.
Aleppo: Before and after the battle
The official Sana news agency said the evacuation buses were heading to the countryside west of Aleppo under the supervision of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
At the same time, four buses and two ambulances carrying wounded and sick people had been allowed to leave the two towns in Idlib besieged by rebel forces, Foah and Kefraya, it added.
Sana also cited its sources as saying that 21 bus drivers had been freed after being "held by terrorists" while on their way to the towns on Tuesday evening.
There was no immediate comment from rebel officials. However, the Syrian Observatory did report earlier that 21 buses had been unable to enter Foah and Kefraya.
It is not clear how many civilians and rebel fighters are still inside the rebel enclave.
The UN estimated last Thursday that there were 50,000 people there.
On Tuesday, the ICRC said 25,000 people had been evacuated since the operation began a week ago, but the Syrian Observatory said the total was closer to 17,000.
If this is the last convoy to leave Aleppo, Wednesday could be the day the whole of the city returns to government control, says the BBC's James Longman in Beirut.
The Syrian army seems determined to clear the rebel enclave, he adds, and has been broadcasting announcements via loudspeaker, calling on the last fighters to leave before soldiers arrive.
But a spokesman for the Fastaqim rebel group, Ward Furati, told the Associated Press they "won't leave until security of all the civilians has been fully guaranteed".
Aleppo was once Syria's largest city, and its commercial and industrial hub before the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011.
For much of the past four years it was divided roughly in two, with the government controlling the western half and rebels the east.
Troops finally broke the deadlock this year with the help of Iranian-backed militias and Russian air strikes, reinstating a siege on the east in early September.
After breaking through the rebels' defensive lines in mid-November, they quickly advanced and had seized all but 2.6 sq km (1 sq mile) by the time a ceasefire was brokered by Russia and Turkey, which backs the opposition to Mr Assad.
The SNP became the biggest party after the local elections last week, but does not have enough councillors to form a majority administration.
The Lib Dems returned four councillors.
Speaking about not entering a coalition, group leader Ian Yuill said: "We will instead consider every issue before the council on its merits on a case-by-case basis."
A total of 19 SNP councillors were elected, up from 16 in 2012, as the Conservatives surged to 11 from three and Labour's total halved to nine. Two independents were returned.
The Lid Dems were down one to four.
A possible SNP/Lib Dem coalition now cannot happen due to the Lib Dem announcement.
There could be an SNP minority administration, or a Conservative, Labour and independent coalition.
The full council will meet next Wednesday.
Phil Gormley was commander of the Metropolitan Police's Special Branch in 2006, which until 2008 included the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS).
Some of its officers entered into long-term sexual relationships with women while infiltrating protest groups.
Mr Gormley has told BBC Scotland he knew "nothing at all" at the time.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "We can confirm that Mr Gormley was the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) commander responsible for Special Branch in the MPS during 2006."
Mr Gormley was sworn in as the new chief constable of Police Scotland earlier this month after it had been announced in December he would take over the job from Sir Stephen House.
Scotland Yard last year apologised to and agreed substantial pay-outs for several women who had entered into "abusive, deceitful and manipulative" relationships with undercover officers.
One of the five officers involved fathered children.
The officers had been working undercover for the SDS and the separate National Public Order Intelligence Unit (NPOIU).
Both teams deployed officers on long-term undercover operations to infiltrate radical political or social causes, such as environmental campaigns, anarchy and animal rights.
Home Secretary Theresa May has announced an inquiry into undercover policing in England and Wales - though calls for this to be extended to Scotland have so far been unsuccessful.
It has been claimed that some of the officers spied on activists ahead of the G8 summit at Gleneagles in 2005.
The Police Scotland spokesman said further enquiries on the issue were a matter for the Metropolitan Police Service "who are preparing to support the Pitchford Inquiry, which of course Mr Gormley will co-operate with in every way possible".
In an interview with BBC Scotland, Mr Gormley said he knew "nothing at all" about the actions of officers in the 1980s when he took over in 2006.
He said: "I will be as transparent as I'm allowed to be, but I have to respect that there's a public inquiry - I will cooperate fully with that."
Undercover: The allegations made to date
The so-called "cyborg" bugs produce acetic acid, a chemical that can then be turned into fuel and plastic.
In lab experiments, the bacteria proved much more efficient at harvesting sunlight than plants.
The work was presented at the American Chemical Society meeting in Washington.
Researchers have been attempting to artificially replicate photosynthesis for many years.
In nature, the green pigment chlorophyll is key to this process, helping plants to convert carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight, into oxygen and glucose.
But despite the fact that it works, scientists say the process is relatively inefficient. This has also been a big problem with most of the artificial systems developed to date.
This new approach seeks to improve that efficiency by essentially aiming to equip bacteria with solar panels.
After combing through old microbiology literature, researchers realised that some bugs have a natural defence to cadmium, mercury or lead that lets them turn the heavy metal into a sulphide which the bacteria express as a tiny, crystal semiconductor on their surfaces.
"It's shamefully simple, we've harnessed a natural ability of these bacteria that had never been looked at through this lens," said Dr Kelsey Sakimoto from Harvard University in Massachusetts, US.
"We grow them and we introduce a small amount of cadmium, and naturally they produce cadmium sulphide crystals which then agglomerate on the outsides of their bodies."
"You grow them in their liquid broth and you just add small aliquots of cadmium solution and you wait a couple of days and out pops these photosynthetic organisms.
"It's all very simple, mix-in-a-pot-chemistry."
These newly boosted bacteria produce acetic acid, essentially vinegar, from CO2, water and light. They have an efficiency of around 80%, which is four times the level of commercial solar panels, and more than six times the level of chlorophyll.
"We prize these cyborg bacteria and their ability to make acetate because they produce a substrate that we can already use to produce more valuable and more interesting products," said Dr Sakimoto.
"We have collaborators who have a number of strands of E. coli that are genetically engineered to take acetic acid as their food source and they can upgrade it into butanol and a polymer called polyhydroxybutyrate."
Dr Sakimoto believes that these bacteria offer some advantages over other approaches to generating green energy from biological sources.
Other techniques for artificial photosynthesis require expensive solid electrodes.
The cyborg bug approach really only needs large vats of liquid to be kept out in the Sun - the bacteria are self-replicating and self-regenerating, making it potentially a low waste technology. It might work best in rural areas or in the developing world.
The research work was carried out at the University of California, Berkeley in the lab of Dr Peidong Yang.
"The thrust of research in my lab is to essentially 'supercharge' non-photosynthetic bacteria by providing them energy in the form of electrons from inorganic semiconductors, like cadmium sulphide, that are efficient light absorbers," Dr Yang said.
"We are now looking for more benign light absorbers than cadmium sulphide to provide bacteria with energy from light."
The researchers believe that while their approach has taken an important new step, it might not ultimately be the technology that prevails.
"There are so many different designs of these systems coming out and really we've only begun to explore the different ways we can combine chemistry and biology," said Dr Sakimoto.
"And there's a real possibility that that there will be some upstart technology that will come out that will do better than our system."

Serena Hickey, 42, of Emerson Valley, Milton Keynes, was found dead at the Premier Inn in Kempston on 13 September. She had been strangled.
Daren Ellis, 39, died of multiple injuries, an inquest heard.
A post-mortem examination did not take place due to the nature of his death.
Det Con Kevin Hills, from Bedfordshire Police, told Ampthill Coroner's Court officers were alerted to an incident after Mr Ellis' sister Joanne Holland called them saying her brother had telephoned her "admitting to killing Serena".
Mr Ellis, of Talbot Close, Nuneaton, then told his sister he was "going to take his own life".
He was found dead on a railway line at Atherstone on 13 September, having been hit by a train.
He was initially identified using a mobile fingerprint scanner.
The inquest heard Mr Ellis and Ms Hickey had been in a relationship for a few months but had argued and that Mr Ellis had been violent.
The day before she was found dead, the couple had been at a wedding reception and went back to the hotel room with two friends.
Mr Ellis became agitated and wanted the friends to leave, saying he wanted to spend some quality time with Ms Hickey. The friends left at around 02:00 BST.
The couple had been drinking and taking cocaine. A post-mortem examination revealed traces of the drug in Ms Hickey's body.
CCTV shows Mr Ellis leaving the hotel at 07:30. He phoned his sister at 08:00.
After police were alerted, they traced the phone call that he had made to his sister to Bedford.
Using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras they then tracked down Ms Hickey's car at the Premier Inn, where they found her dead.
Assistant coroner Martin Oldham said that, "despite their best efforts", police were unable to find Mr Ellis.
He said: "What happened to Serena was a tragedy of enormous concern.
"There is compelling evidence and I am sure Darren Ellis intended to take his own life and so I return a verdict of suicide."
The 30-year-old left-back joins the National League play-off hopefuls, sixth in the table, on a 28-day loan from mid-table League Two side Luton.
Griffiths has twice been a title winner in the non-league top flight, with Dagenham & Redbridge and the Hatters.
He has also played for Peterborough, on loan at Chesterfield, where he won the League Two title, Crawley Town, Rotherham United and Plymouth Argyle.
He has made 122 league appearances since joining Luton in March 2013, including all 46 games of the Hatters' 2013-14 Conference winning season.
He will link up with another Luton player, midfielder Matt Robinson, who is on loan to Woking until the end of the season.

Allan Jenkins put David Jeffrey's side into the lead with a low shot just before half-time.
Carrick felt they should have had a penalty when TJ Murray was charged off the ball by Conor McCloskey.
It was McCloskey who made sure of the coveted silverware by blasting in a superb injury-time strike.
Ballymena bossed the game but Carrick squandered a chance to take the lead when TJ Murray skied over from close range.
The opener came a minute before the break with Willie Faulkner providing the cut-back for Jenkins to sweep the ball into the bottom corner.
United continued to dominate in the second half and it required a superb save from Brian Neeson to keeper out Tony Kane's free-kick.
Rangers rarely threatened but they made a late push for an equaliser and Adam Salley headed over before their penalty appeals were turned down for the push on Murray.
A brilliant strike from McCloskey, arrowing the ball into the top corner from 20 yards, sealed the victory.
It meant another major success for manager Jeffrey who won 31 trophies during 17 years with Belfast club Linfield.
Jeffrey took over as United boss in March 2016 and has steered them to fifth place in the Premiership table and also into the quarter-finals of the Irish Cup.
Referring to his assistant, Brian McLaughlin, Jeffrey said: "Brian and I had great success at Linfield but this is a new chapter in our football career.
"I am absolutely delighted for the players and the board. I'm overjoyed for the supporters - that atmosphere was absolutely rocking and they deserve it.
"I am so thankful, it means an awful lot."
Carrick manager Aaron Callaghan said: "The game was a fantastic advert for the local game and it was a terrific match.
"I'm so proud of our lads but the foul was the most blatant penalty I have seen all season.
"I can't understand it and it's not good enough. Referees need to stand up in these big games."
The 13MW scheme, which was constructed on 70 acres of land at Errol Estate in Perthshire and includes 55,000 solar panels, went live in May.
Paul Wheelhouse, the Scottish government's minister for business, innovation and energy, will formally launch the solar farm.
Its construction began in January. It generates energy all year round.
Errol Estate was one of the first locations in Scotland to be identified as a potential solar farm site, with the land being promoted for development by Thomas Macmillan of Savills in 2011.
Elgin Energy secured planning permission for the farm, and was responsible for designing the scheme and grid connection.
The farm was built by Canadian Solar, which will also operate the project.
Mr Macmillan said he was "delighted" to see power being generated at the site.
He said: "It has been four years in the making and proves that large-scale solar in Scotland continues to be commercially viable.
"Solar technology has a far greater role to play in Scotland's energy mix than many people might realise.
"Due to reducing installation costs, and a climate of support from Scottish government, we are continuing to see an appetite from developers to take forward new development sites, even with reducing subsidy support from the Westminster government."
Mr Wheelhouse said: "This very substantial and impressive project is proof that large scale solar photovoltaic systems work well on the east coast of Scotland and I am also greatly encouraged that a variety of organisations are continuing to source solar sites across the country, with a view to developing financially viable schemes."
Left-back Wallace, 29, has not played since picking up a hamstring injury in the 1-0 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 24 December.
Striker Garner, 28, sustained a dislocated shoulder in the 2-1 defeat by Celtic on 31 December.
Meanwhile, boss Mark Warburton has hinted at one more January signing.
Warburton, who revealed forward Joe Dodoo had "tweaked a groin in training", has already brought in midfielders Emerson Hyndman and Jon Toral on loan from Bournemouth and Arsenal, respectively.
"If we can get the right one then we will move but the right ones are few and far between," Warburton told his club website ahead of Saturday's Scottish Cup meeting with Well at Ibrox.
"Whether anyone goes out depends. You never ever know in the market but right now no.
"The scan [on Garner's shoulder] revealed the damage to be not too serious but obviously he has dislocated his shoulder so there is a period of rehabilitation. Joe will hopefully be back training within a week or so and then back with us within two or three weeks.
"There is no surgery required right now. There is always a risk involved in it but the specialist and our medical team are happy with that risk and we'll see how he goes.
"Lee is fit, he will be back training [on Tuesday], he trained with the rest of the squad on Saturday and will be available for selection, touch wood, for the weekend so he will train with us all week.
"Lee is a good athlete and we're looking forward to welcoming him back." | A man who had acid thrown in his face was a victim of mistaken identity and in the "wrong place at the wrong time", a court heard.

Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi's single has become the longest-running foreign language number one in UK chart history.
The song notched up 129,000 combined sales this week to secure its fourth week at top of the singles chart.
Despacito is sung in Spanish, although many of Bieber's lines are in English.
Only nine other foreign-language songs, such as Gangnam Style and The Ketchup Song, have ever topped the UK singles chart.
Until Despacito came along, Chanson D'Amour by vocal jazz group Manhattan Transfer held the record for the longest foreign-language stay at number one, spending three weeks at the top in 1977.
Bieber also held the number two position with I'm The One - his collaboration with DJ Khaled, Quavo and Chance the Rapper.
Captain Ska's Liar Liar, which criticises Prime Minister Theresa May, landed at number four - this week's highest new entry.
Liam Payne's Strip That Down stayed at number three while Shawn Mendes's There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back dropped to five.
It's not often that a group climbs 83 places to reach the top of the chart, but of course The Beatles are no ordinary group.
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, an album almost as famous for its front cover as its music, has raced back up the chart on the week of its 50th birthday.
Ed Sheeran and Rag'n'Bone Man continued to linger in the top five, at number two and three respectively.
The Charlatans claimed the highest new entry at number four, with Different Day.

"Blood-stained money, blood-stained power, you can't bring it with you to your next life. Repent," he said.
He was speaking at a prayer vigil for relatives of those killed by the mafia.
The Pope has spoken out frequently about the evils of corruption and wrote a booklet on the subject in 2005 when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires.
The meeting near Rome on Friday - organised by a citizens' group called Libera - was aimed at demonstrating the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to organised crime, and rejecting what some critics say were links between parts of the Church and mafia bosses who claimed to be good Catholics.
The vigil was filled with those who have suffered at the hands of the mafia, including people whose family members and loved ones had been killed.
As the names of those murdered were read out, the Pope listened, deep in sombre thought, says he BBC's Alan Johnston in Rome.
After expressing solidarity with the 842 people at the vigil, he said that he could not leave the service without addressing those not present: The "protagonists" of mafia violence.
"This life that you live now won't give you pleasure. It won't give you joy or happiness," he said.
"There's still time to not end up in hell, which is what awaits you if you continue on this path."
Our correspondent says there is a long list of brave priests in Italy who have stood up to the mafia, and some have paid with lives.
But he says that the wider Church has been accused of not doing enough to confront the gangsters.
Anti-mafia activists hope that the Pope's words are a signal that he is on their side.
Problems with a new Scottish government computer system have caused delays to many Scottish farmers due the money.
The Scottish government had been facing fines of between £40m and £125m if it did not meet the June deadline.
But the EU's commissioner for agriculture, Phil Hogan, announced the new date.
The move followed a meeting between the commissioner and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon in Edinburgh last month.
Mr Hogan stressed that this was "an exceptional measure" which reflected the difficulties some member states and devolved regions had experienced with the first year of payments under the new CAP.
He emphasised that the move should not be used as an "excuse" to slow down the rate of payments.
Any deadline shift must not be used as an excuse by the Scottish government in delaying the payment of outstanding 2015 monies any further."
Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing said the extended deadline would not detract from efforts to make as many payments as possible by the original June cut-off date.
He added: "This flexibility is welcome but it will not detract from my determination to make full payments to as many Scottish farmers as possible by 30 June. This remains my absolute priority.
"Today's announcement by the EU Commission reflects the challenges being faced by countries across Europe in implementing this CAP reform and making payments, and reduces the potential for financial penalties being imposed on administrations."
NFU Scotland chief executive Scott Walker said: "The shift in the European deadline for making payments is good news for the Scottish taxpayer, as it will significantly lessen the risk of a hefty fine.
"The recent Audit Scotland report estimated that failure to deliver payments by the end of June could have cost the Scottish government between £40m and £125m.
"However, any deadline shift must not be used as an excuse by the Scottish government in delaying the payment of outstanding 2015 monies any further or hold back progress with the 2016 scheme."
This flexibility is welcome but it will not detract from my determination to make full payments to as many Scottish farmers as possible by 30 June
Scottish Conservative rural affairs spokesman Peter Chapman said the Scottish government had been "let off the hook by this decision".
He added: "This should by no means absolve the SNP, or indeed the former rural affairs secretary Richard Lochhead, from blame for this debacle.
"Furthermore, this cannot be used as an excuse for any further delays in the distribution of CAP payments to farmers and crofters.
"The government must continue to work urgently to ensure that all payments are issued in full as soon as possible."
Scottish Labour said that given the "complete mess" the SNP had made of CAP payments, the extended date was a "welcome decision".
The party's rural economy spokeswoman, Rhoda Grant, said: "I will be writing to SNP minister Fergus Ewing seeking confirmation that the government's first priority remains ensuring that farmers and crofters receive their money by the end of June as previously stated."
The Scottish Greens said despite the delay to financial sanctions, the 30 June delivery deadline remained and "must be made to get the rural economy back on track again".
The Scottish Liberal Democrats believed there still required an urgency to get money into the bank accounts of farmers.
The party's Mike Rumbles said: "SNP incompetence has blown a hole in the ability of farmers to plan their finances effectively.
"We need to ensure that funds get out of the door and into bank accounts before the end of June."
"I think it's very much back to 1981," says Bernie O'Connor, who played a role in helping to bring about Northern Ireland's most polarised election of recent times.
The school teacher persuaded the other nationalist candidate, Noel Maguire, to stand aside.
And then in a manoeuvre designed to outsmart Austin Currie, who promised to stand against the IRA hunger striker, he kept the news secret until five minutes before nominations closed thus ensuring the vote would not be divided.
Today he's preparing for battle again.
The sitting Sinn Féin MP, Michelle Gildernew, faces just one unionist challenger, Tom Elliott, while she is also competing for votes with the SDLP's John Coyle.
For Bernie O'Connor there are strong echoes of the past.
He told The View on BBC One Northern Ireland: "I think it's very much back to the high percentage poll that we need to go out, because a vote not cast in this election is really a vote for Tom Elliott; a vote cast for the SDLP in this election is a vote for Tom Elliott.
"I think it is very much back to that again where people have got to come out and vote and show that what we stand for, we really mean here in this constituency."
For those depressed by the thought of things not moving on since the days of the hunger strikes, the antidote is supplied by former local newspaper editor Denzil McDaniel.
He says cross-community relationships in Fermanagh's county town, Enniskillen, are probably better than anywhere in Northern Ireland.
"People do get on throughout the county - good neighbours help each other out most times of the year," he says.
"It's just when it comes to politics they decide to put their 'X' in a particular way."
That way is either unionist or nationalist, orange or green, and Frank McManus, who was the nationalist unity MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone from 1970 to 1974, agrees.
"The first question is always, are you for the union or agin' the union, and fortunately the majority in Fermanagh and South Tyrone has always been agin' the union," he says.
"Now that doesn't mean that the nationalists have always won, because nationalists have become divided.
"If you add the votes of young Coyle and Michelle Gildnernew, certainly there'll be a majority.
"The question is will she get enough, or will he get few enough, to allow her to succeed?
"I very much hope she does succeed. I think she will, though I've spoken to a few people recently who would be supporters of hers and they say that the numbers aren't as good as they were."
Mr McManus says emigration could be a factor.
"All you've to do is look at Gaelic football teams where lots of young people have left for economic reasons," he says.
In 2010 the Ulster Unionists and the DUP backed a single candidate. Rodney Connor was a former chief executive of the local district council.
The gamble failed by just four votes, a margin subsequently reduced to a single vote by an electoral court.
So can Tom Elliott succeed where Rodney Connor so narrowly failed? Yes, according to the last unionist to win. Lord Maginnis held the seat as plain Ken Maginnis from 1983 until 1997.
"I've seen so many things happen vis-à-vis UUP/DUP that I've still got slight hang-ups about Peter Robinson's party (DUP), but having said that I don't see Fermanagh and South Tyrone in those terms," he says.
"I see Fermanagh and South Tyrone in terms of the 60,000 or 70,000 people that I represented, and you cannot effectively represent the interests of one section; Tom Elliott knows that.
"You represent the interests of the community and that's hard work. I think he's up for it."
Five candidates have so far announced they are standing in Fermanagh and South Tyrone in the general election:
The View was broadcast on BBC One Northern Ireland on Thursday 2 April, and is available to watch on the iPlayer.
Prime Minister David Cameron, Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nicola Sturgeon laid wreaths at the Cenotaph in London's Whitehall.
The Queen later lit the first of hundreds of ceremonial beacons.
Events this weekend will commemorate the 70th anniversary of VE Day - the end of World War Two on the continent.
The Queen and her husband the Duke of Edinburgh greeted crowds gathered to watch the lighting ceremony at Windsor Great Park.
A series of beacons were also due to be lit at events throughout the country, including one at the Tower of London.
On 8 May 1945 people across the country lit hundreds of bonfires and beacons to celebrate the end of the war.
Earlier, more than 100 veterans joined Prince Andrew - a former Royal Navy helicopter pilot - along with senior politicians and military figures for the ceremony.
Among them was Mr Cameron, who was joined by Mr Miliband and Mr Clegg, in their last major roles as leaders of the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats following their post-election resignations, to lay wreaths.
SNP leader Ms Sturgeon also laid a wreath, and defence secretary Philip Hammond and newly-elected MP Boris Johnson also attended.
The Band of the Welsh Guards started the events by playing music by Handel and Lyell Cresswell with the buglers of the Royal Marines and Trumpeters of the Royal Air Force.
At 15:00 BST - the moment Prime Minister Winston Churchill broadcast the news of the German surrender to the nation - a two-minute silence was held.
Churchill's great grandson Randolph Churchill also read an extract from the speech the war-time prime minister gave 70 years ago.
What was VE Day?
VE Day: How did the British plan to celebrate?
The Queen - who as Princess Elizabeth waved to the crowds on VE Day from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, alongside her parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth - will attend a service of thanksgiving on Sunday at Westminster Abbey.
After the service, veterans and serving members of the armed forces will parade along Whitehall, past the Treasury balcony from which Churchill delivered his historic address.
In addition to the remembrance ceremonies taking place, there will also be street parties and concerts across the UK to recreate the spirit of celebration on the day 70 years ago.
The biggest will be at Horse Guards Parade on Saturday, where musical acts including Pixie Lott and Status Quo will perform wartime songs and actors John Simm, Julia Sawalha and Laurence Fox will give readings.
The Royal British Legion, which has worked with the government to prepare the commemorations, will host a reception for 2,000 veterans at the park.
In a 24 hours which has been all about politics, the Service of Remembrance has been a time for a truly momentous day in British history to be remembered.
Seated around the Cenotaph were more than 100 veterans, sheltering under umbrellas from a light rain. Watching from behind metal barriers, the public.
Standing shoulder to shoulder were the Prime Minister David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband as well as Nicola Sturgeon. This was clearly no time for party politics.
After the laying of wreaths, Randolph Churchill, the great grandson of Winston Churchill, read an extract from the speech he gave exactly 70 years ago. "We may allow ourselves a brief period of rejoicing but let us not forget the toil and efforts ahead."
Hundreds of smaller community events have been planned across the country after schools and local authorities were encouraged to take part.
There will also be commemorations in other European and Commonwealth countries.
Russia, which lost more citizens to the war than any other nation, is holding a Victory parade on Saturday in Moscow's Red Square. The UK, US and Germany have declined to send a representative in protest at Russia's actions in Ukraine.
Police suspect the attackers were members of the Mara Salvatrucha criminal gang who were trying to free one of their jailed leaders.
The leader had been taken under armed guard to Roosevelt Hospital for tests.
The gunmen opened fire outside the emergency department killing two guards, two hospital workers, a bystander and two children.
Another child is among those injured and in critical condition, the hospital's deputy director said.
Five suspected gunmen were arrested at the scene but the gang leader they were trying to free managed to escape.
Anderson Daniel Cabrera Cifuentes, 29, was serving a sentence for murder. He is believed to be the leader of a local Mara Salvatrucha cell.
The gang, which is also known as MS-13, operates across Central America and in the United States.

Confusion reigned at the hospital in the hours after the shooting.
Local media reported that a medical student had suffered a nervous breakdown after a bullet hit his rucksack and got lodged in his 500-page Clinical Anatomy text book.
The maternity ward was surrounded by at least 50 police officers after reports that one of the fugitive gunmen was hiding inside.
Officers arrested a man but released him again after confirming he was visiting his wife who had just given birth to twins in the maternity ward.
Following the attack, President Jimmy Morales asked judges to stop sending convicted criminals to hospitals for tests.
He said that mobile clinics would be installed in the country's prisons to deal with prisoner's needs on location.
Guatemalan jails suffer from serious overcrowding and existing prison health centres have been used to house prisoners.
Lee, who rarely gives interviews, said: "I'm still old-fashioned. I love dusty old books and libraries. This is Mockingbird for a new generation."
The writer celebrated her 88th birthday on Monday, the same day as the announcement was made.
The e-book and audiobook will be published by HarperCollins on 8 July.
To Kill A Mockingbird was first published on 11 July in 1960 by JB Lippincott and Co, a company which went on to become part of HarperCollins.
It tells the story of small-town lawyer Atticus Finch's battle against racial prejudice as he defends a black man who is wrongly accused of raping a white woman.
Lee's only published novel, it won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and has sold 30 million copies in English worldwide.
It has also been translated into 40 languages.
The novel was made into an Oscar-winning film in 1962, with Gregory Peck picking up the best actor Academy award for his portrayal of Finch.
Considered to be a modern classic, it is regularly taught in schools in the UK and the US.
"Every home has a dog-eared copy of To Kill a Mockingbird, and now readers will be able to add this favourite book to their digital libraries," said Michael Morrison, president and publisher of HarperCollins US General Books Group and Canada.
"Although today is Nelle Harper Lee's birthday, she is giving readers around the world the gift of being able to read or listen to this extraordinary story in all formats."
The audiobook will be a downloadable edition of the existing CD, narrated by Oscar-winning actress Sissy Spacek.
HarperCollins said the e-book will feature "extra exclusive content".
It comes after six staff members were suspended from Bryn Hesketh in October after an allegation about patient care on the ward.
That allegation, made by another member of staff, was not upheld.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board said a further investigation into four staff members was taking place.
The health board said the new investigation did not concern patient care.
"Some staff will continue to be absent from the ward whilst this investigation takes place," a spokesman said.
The health board did not confirm whether any of the staff in the latest investigation were the same as those previously investigated.
She wore the white T-shirt at the start of a debate on media sexism.
Chairman of the session, Labour's Jimmy Hood, interrupted her and told her to "put her jacket back on" and comply with Westminster's dress code.
Ms Lucas picked up a copy of The Sun and waved Page Three, but said she would comply with the ruling.
She added: "It does strike me as a certain irony that this T-shirt is regarded as an inappropriate thing to be wearing in this House, whereas apparently it is appropriate for this kind of newspaper to be available to buy in eight different outlets on the Palace of Westminster estate."
During the debate, the MP for Brighton Pavilion argued The Sun newspaper's Page Three, which features topless models, should be consigned to the "rubbish bin where it belongs".
She expressed her support for the No More Page Three campaign and said the content of the page was not acceptable in a family newspaper said to be seen by 7.5m people each day.
Earlier this year, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who owns The Sun, hinted on Twitter that Page Three may be replaced with a "halfway house" of "glamorous fashionistas".
Ms Lucas said: "To date, public pressure has secured the most public sign from The Sun's proprietor that the paper might scrap Page Three. But the clock is ticking and we still have not seen any concrete action.
"So if Page Three still hasn't been removed from The Sun by the end of this year, I think we should be asking the government to step in and legislate."
She also called for The Sun to be removed from sale in Parliament until it dropped the photo feature.
Culture minister Ed Vaizey said there were no plans to regulate the content of the press.
He said it was for adults to choose what they read, provided something remains within the law or does not impact inappropriately on the rights of an individual.
He added: "Freedom of expression is a vital part of our society. But, as well as maintaining this freedom, we as a government are committed to maintaining a media that commands respect from the public through high standards and is capable of appropriately protecting the rights of individuals."
Limited rules on member's dress are set out in Erskine May, the official parliamentary rule book. It says MPs should not wear military insignia or uniforms in the Commons and the custom is "for gentlemen members to wear jackets and ties".
However, other standards of dress are expected to be adhered to as a matter of convention.
A House of Commons spokesman said: "By convention members are expected not to use their clothing to display slogans or make debating points - members are expected to make their arguments through their speeches.
"It is for the chair of a debate to make a judgement on whether those conventions are being met."
The Great Famine of 1845-51 has the grim distinction of being the most costly natural disaster of modern times.
Ireland had witnessed a massive surge in population from 2.6 to 8.5 million by 1845 when blight struck the staple food of the masses - the potato.
Some 80% of this teeming population lived on the land, making Ireland one of the most densely populated countries in Europe.
Under a land system where most of the land was owned by the great Plantation landlords, vast numbers of the poorest 'cottier' class lived on 'potato gardens', often sub-divided among their sons.
By the 1840s, close on two-fifths of the population were totally dependant on the potato and it was the major food-source of the rest.
Between 1845 and 1849, the potato crop failed in three seasons out of four.
The result was starvation and the spread of the "road disease" - dysentery, typhus and cholera.
One million people died of hunger and disease during the crisis and more than one million emigrated, mainly to the United States - often in the notorious 'coffin ships', so-called because many people died because of the terrible conditions during the crossing.
In dealing with the crisis, the British government introduced 'Outdoor Relief' - the provision of soup kitchens in distressed area and public works, such as the building of roads and harbours.
However, these measures were woefully inadequate.
The country's workhouses were grossly overcrowded, adding to the vast mortality.
The claim that the Famine did not affect Ulster has been debunked by recent historical research.
Between 1845-51 Ulster's population fell by 340,000, a drop of 15.7% compared with 19.9% for the whole of lreland.
The greatest losses of population were in the south Ulster counties of Cavan, Fermanagh and Monaghan.
Fermanagh lost almost 30% of its inhabitants.
Tyrone, Antrim and Armagh were close to the national average with rates of around 15%.
Surprisingly, research shows that the events from 1845 to 51 affected normally prosperous parts of the north-east, including Belfast, north Down and particularly the linen triangle of north Armagh.
By December 1846 the first deaths from starvation were reported in the local press.
By early 1847 cholera was spreading in Fermanagh, with the Erne Packet reporting: "In Garvary Wood hundreds of corpses are buried, they were the victims of cholera and their relatives too weak to carry them to the graveyard."
One of the most surprising aspects of the Famine was its searing impact on traditionally prosperous parts of eastern Ulster.
Particularly hard-hit was the Lurgan-Portadown linen triangle of north Armagh.
Lurgan Workhouse in 1847 recorded the third highest mortality of any workhouse in Ireland.
An inquiry blamed the crisis on overcrowding and the fact that the corpses of fever victims were interred beside the workhouse well. The result was a cycle of death.
In normally prosperous Newtownards, there were queues at the soup kitchen of "emaciated and half-famished souls", covered with rags.
In 1847 the worst affected areas in Down included the Mournes and the fishing port of Kilkeel.
The reactions of the landlords varied. Lord Londonderry, the largest landowner in north Down, rejected rent reductions due to "personal inconvenience" and was much criticised.
Newry - the site of the all-island Famine Commemoration - became a key centre of emigration from south Ulster, with vessels carrying thousands direct to Canada and the United States.
Among these was the ill-fated 'coffin ship', the Hannah, carrying emigrants from South Armagh. Fifty people were drowned when it struck ice near Quebec.
The Famine had a traumatic impact on the growing industrial town of Belfast, which attracted large numbers of famished and disease-ridden people from all parts of Ulster.
In March 1847, typhus fever swept the town following the arrival in the port of the Swatara, an emigrant ship from Connacht.
The Plaguey Hill at Friar's Bush Graveyard in south Belfast is a grim cenotaph commemorating some 800 victims of 'Black '47'.
The commemoration to mark the 170th anniversary has been held at the Albert Basin in Newry, County Down.
Attended by ministers from the Irish government and the Northern Ireland Executive, it was the high point of a week of talks, walks, music and drama about the tragedy.
In her remarks, the Irish Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht, Heather Humphreys, recalled how in Newry workhouse all the health professionals died of fever.
"A point that has struck me forcibly is how the legacy and memory of the famine is deeply ingrained in the collective memory of the host community in Newry," she said.
Gilbey scored five goals in 37 League One games for Colchester last term, but could not prevent them being relegated.
The 21-year-old was described as "destined for the Premier League" by former U's boss Kevin Keen in January.
"Alex was one of the outstanding young talents in League One last season," Latics manager Gary Caldwell said.
"He's exactly the sort of player and person who suits this club and we're delighted to add him to the group for pre-season."

The charity saw lifeboats at its 30 stations across Wales launch 1,175 times in 2016, an 11% rise on the previous year.
Mumbles RNLI in Swansea was the busiest station for the second year running, with 83 launches.
RNLI lifeguards also had a busy year, responding to 1,271 incidents across 39 patrolled beaches.
Matt Crofts, RNLI lifesaving manager, said the charity was "extremely grateful for the dedication show by its lifesavers" who spent almost 28,000 hours at sea last year.
"But we really do see our rescue service as a last resort," he said.
The 2016 Wales figures also showed:
The latest figures came as the charity celebrated the official opening of a new visitor centre in Vale of Glamorgan.
The Barry Island venue claims to be the first of its kind in the UK, focusing on drowning prevention.
The RNLI hopes to help teach 30,000 visitors a year about water safety, using bespoke interactive exhibitions.
It is part of the charity's bid to cut drowning deaths in Britain by 50% by 2024.
Speeding this process up - without compromising on safety or efficacy - would seem to be in everyone's interests.
And cloud computing is helping to do just that.
"Cloud platforms are globally accessible and easily available," says Kevin Julian, managing director at Accenture Life Sciences, Accelerated R&D Services division.
"This allows for real-time collection of data from around the world, providing better access to data from inside life sciences companies, as well as from the many partners they work with in the drug development process."
Clinical trials - testing how a new drug works on people once you've tested it on animals - are a crucial part of this process. But they can be very complex to organise and run.
There are three main phases, starting with a small group of healthy volunteers, then widening out to larger groups who would benefit from the drug.
"A big phase three trial will cost anything from $30m-$60m (£24m-£48m) for a pharma company," says Steve Rosenberg, general manager of Oracle Health Sciences Global Business Unit.
These trials may be conducted over 30 to 50 countries and involve hundreds or even thousands of patients - this takes a lot of time and money.
"Patient recruitment has always been the number one problem," says Mr Rosenberg.
And as drug development targets more specific groups of people, largely thanks to the insights coming from genomics, finding the right patients for such clinical studies is becoming even harder.
This is where the cloud can help.
"With cloud and related technologies, we are now able to mine real-world data to find patient populations better, and utilise globally available technology to conduct trials in an even more distributed and inclusive manner," says Mr Julian.
Cloud and increasing digitalisation is also helping to improve the efficiency of data collection and analysis.
"Data collection used to be very inefficient, with data being written on paper forms, faxed and then entered into computers manually," explains Tarek Sherif, co-founder and chief executive of Medidata, a company that has developed a cloud platform for clinical trials.
"Then it had to be double-checked for errors. It could take up to a year before you could draw any conclusions from the patient data."
Digitising the process and automating the checking process in the cloud has reduced this time to "one to two weeks," says Mr Sherif.
And cloud offers many additional advantages to pharma companies, says Mr Rosenberg.
"These days health data is coming from a wide variety of sources, like labs, wearable devices, electronic diaries, health records. Pharma companies can't necessarily handle all the data that's coming in to them.
"So cloud computing helps them do that and gives them a whole bunch of other advantages - the technology is kept up to date, you get the latest security, the latest features and so on."
A spokesman for pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) told the BBC: "Advances in computing and data analytics are providing new opportunities to improve the efficiency of our research and increase our understanding of a disease or a patient's response to medication."
Speeding up the clinical trial process also cuts costs.
"We were able to save one of our clients about 30% on the cost of running a trial," says Mr Sherif, whose firm facilitates nearly half of all clinical trials in the world and counts 17 of the top 25 pharma companies as clients.
And Accenture's Mr Julian says: "We've seen overall savings of 50% - in some cases up to 75% - on the historically labour-intensive parts of the drug development process."
Of course, not all prospective drugs work, or they're shown to work but not any better than existing drugs on the market.
"So the Holy Grail is to fail faster so you're not failing in the very final phases of drug development when you've already spent most of your money," says Mr Sherif.
Winning regulatory approval for a drug is only half the battle. Pharma companies also have to convince health services and insurance companies that's it's worth paying for.
This means collecting reliable patient data.
In the past, patients were often asked to keep written diaries of their experiences with a drug being tested, but these were "horribly inefficient", says Mr Sherif.
So the rise of electronic diaries and wearable devices is helping to improve the evidence a pharma company can present in defence of their latest drug.
With this is mind, Oracle is helping add "mHealth" capability to Accenture Life Sciences' cloud platform.
And GSK says: "We've been conducting clinical studies with biosensors and mobile devices for some time.
"Today's digital technology is enabling us to collect and analyse data in new ways - monitoring activity and vital signs in patients, and collecting patient feedback in real time, improving the quality of data we use in the development of new medicines."
The cloud is also encouraging more pharma companies to co-operate on molecule development [the building blocks of a potential drug], says Mr Rosenberg, as well as on data analysis.
And all this anonymised patient data - historical and recent - can potentially be shared in the battle to combat disease.
"We are seeing clients increasingly use 'virtual studies' - using external and historical data to perform advanced statistical analysis and reduce the need for complicated, costly site-based study activity," says Accenture's Mr Julian, citing a collaborative Alzheimer's project between some of its clients and the Coalition Against Major Disease.
But while efficiencies in the drug development process are undoubtedly being found, discovering the initial molecule is still very difficult, experts warn.
Cloud computing is having a big practical impact, but won't necessarily result in a flurry of "miracle" cures.

The chief executives of Belfast International, Belfast City and the City of Derry airports want a review into the impact of scrapping the tax.
And they want it to begin as soon as possible.
The confidence and supply deal struck between the Conservatives and the DUP in June contained a commitment to review air passenger duty.
In a letter to First Secretary Damian Green, the airport chiefs said it would be helpful if they could be advised of the timescale for the review and who will carry it out.
They said they stand ready to put the case for removing air passenger duty on the grounds of both economic growth and jobs.
The three airports have said they "already have a number of our existing and potential airlines ready to commit to flying from Northern Ireland should air passenger duty be removed".
They asked that the review could be "initiated, completed and the result implemented as soon as possible".
The Rt Rev Michael Perham was told by police last month he faces no action over two claims of indecent assault.
The Bishop of Tewkesbury, the Rt Rev Martyn Snow, said of the cancellation: "I know this will be the cause of huge frustration and deep disappointment."
Bishop Perham is due to retire officially on 21 November.
Since the allegations were made, the Bishop of Gloucester stepped back from his duties and they were handed to the Bishop of Tewkesbury.
Bishop Snow said: "Church House, Westminster has confirmed to me the process is still ongoing and there is no formal timetable for this process as it must be completed with fairness to all.
"The diocese must therefore await the conclusion of that process."
Bishop Perham was questioned in August over allegations of historical sex offences dating back more than 30 years.
The special service had been planned for 8 November.
Correction 11 November 2014: A quote from Bishop Snow has been amended to clarify that there is no formal timetable for the investigation
Seven-year-old Georgia Allen and her five-year-old brother Geordie were injured at Killowen Primary School.
Their father, 36-year-old George Allen, remains critically ill.
Staff at the school used a defibrillator on Mr Allen after the incident, and he was resuscitated at the scene.
His son was also originally said to be in a critical condition.
The Russian president signed similar documents last week, so the New Start treaty will come into effect when the papers are exchanged this weekend.
The treaty was approved by the US Senate in December and by the Russian parliament last month.
It replaces the 1991 Start treaty which expired in December 2009.
The New Start treaty, agreed to by Mr Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in April, limits each side to no more than 800 deployed nuclear warhead delivery systems (including bombers, missile launchers and nuclear submarines), a cut of about 50%. It limits each side to 1,550 deployed warheads.
It will also allow each side visually to inspect the other's nuclear capability, with the aim of verifying how many warheads each missile carries.
The White House barred reporters from the Oval Office when Mr Obama signed the treaty, but allowed still photographers.
The pact, opposed by many Republicans, could become an issue in the 2012 US political campaign.
Among other criticisms, US opponents of the treaty argued Russia would have reduced stockpiles anyway as its arsenal aged, so the US had no reason to agree to scrap its own nuclear arms.
About 100 fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) took part, some crossing the border from Iraq, some moving from inside Turkey.
The toll - of 24 dead and 18 injured - is the largest suffered by the Turkish security forces since 1993.
The response by the Turkish military has been a predictable one: more raids by jets and helicopters on targets inside Iraq, with ground forces moving around 8km (five miles) across the Iraqi border.
The military says it killed 15 of the PKK insurgents; it claims to have killed as many as 160 in air raids carried out since July.
The PKK has proved before that it is capable of such an attack, and of inflicting heavy losses.
In June last year, it carried out a very similar night-time raid, using large numbers of fighters, and killed 13 soldiers stationed at a remote outpost along the border.
The government vowed then that the soldiers would be better protected, and questions were posed about the suitability of a young, conscript army for tackling an entrenched insurgency.
If lessons were learned, they do not appear to have helped those battling the PKK in the latest attacks.
Bigger questions hang over why the PKK has escalated its operations against the military over the past four months, and why the Turkish government, which repeatedly says it wants to pursue reconciliation, has been unable to stop the harsh treatment of Kurdish nationalist figures by the judiciary.
Time and again, apparent windows for peace have been shut down abruptly.
In October 2009, following Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's unprecedented offer of a new beginning for relations between Turkey's largest minority and the state, 34 Kurdish activists, including eight PKK fighters, crossed the border from Iraq, and turned themselves over to the Turkish authorities.
It was presented as a gesture, a test of the government's intentions. The activists were allowed to go free, instead of being prosecuted.
But then it all went wrong.
A jubilant welcome for the activists by tens of thousands of Kurds, waving PKK symbols, provoked a strong nationalist reaction in a Turkish public conditioned to think of the PKK only as an evil, terrorist organisation.
The government had rushed into a badly thought-out peace initiative, without preparing the Turkish people for it.
By the end of 2009, the main Kurdish party had been banned - for the seventh time - by the constitutional court, and dozens of Kurdish community leaders were being prosecuted under the draconian, catch-all anti-terror laws.
One Kurdish editor was sentenced to 166 years in prison, merely for the pro-PKK sentiments published in his newspaper.
It was a similar situation after the general election in June this year, in which Kurdish candidates did well.
This opened the possibility of Kurds pressing their demands through parliament, and working with the government on a new constitution - one of their central demands.
But a court decision to strip one Kurdish MP of his seat, and give it to the ruling AK party, poisoned the atmosphere.
Kurdish MPs boycotted parliament, and announced what they called their own "democratic autonomy" initiative, taking greater control of local government.
There has never been a constructive dialogue between the AK, Turkey's most successful democratic party, and Kurdish leaders.
They just seem to talk, or shout, past each other, even though both have acknowledged that the use of military force by both sides has brought about nothing but hatred and the loss of more than 40,000 lives.
This despite the fact that the AK is the first party to attempt to address the grievances of the Kurds, and has managed to ease some of the restrictions on Kurdish expressions of identity.
The terrible atrocities committed against Kurdish communities in the 1990s have left a searing anger towards the Turkish state, compounded by the poverty, unemployment and ill-treatment that blight the Kurdish south-east.
But such is the engrained hostility of millions of Turks towards the Kurdish nationalist movement, that any attempt to negotiate with it could cost a government significant numbers of votes.
The lack of leadership on the Kurdish issue has left a vacuum, now filled by the armed hardliners of the PKK.
It is hard to interpret its decision to increase its attacks on the army and police as anything else but an attempt to sabotage any future peace initiative, should it ever get off the ground.
In the current, bitter climate of mutual recriminations, that is unlikely to happen.
"We're a lot fitter than we ever have been, we're scoring more goals and we look like a right good team," said the Ladbrokes Player of the Season.
"We're closing people down and we're playing with a high intensity.
"Last season I was struggling with injuries and now I feel I can go for two, three or four seasons more."
The midfielder, 32 next month, has been a key player under Brendan Rodgers, the league sponsor's manager of the season, as the League Cup winners and Premiership champions seek to extend their unbeaten run of 45 domestic games to the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen on 27 May.
"I'm enjoying my football and playing with a smile on my face," said Brown, adding that the award was "thanks to all the players for digging me out a hole now and then".
"We check GPS and heart rates and make sure everybody is working hard.
"Against Partick, in the 91st minute I ended up on the left wing and trying to close the goalie down.
"That's never been seen before by me in the last five or six years. It shows I still have the energy and desire to keep going for 90-95 minutes.
"It's been enjoyable this season but it's been really hard, with dedication from everyone and the way the gaffer wants high intensity for 90 minutes."
Rodgers may make use of statistical data but he said it "can't measure the size of a player's heart".
He described Brown as "inspirational" and said that, should Celtic complete the treble, "it would be very fitting for a captain of his quality to do that".
"As a manager it's very important that you have that chemistry between you and your captain," continued the Celtic boss.
"It was pretty clear early on when I met him that he was top class in his outlook. He hasn't let up.
"He has been absolutely sensational in how he has led the team and how he's taken on the football idea that we've tried to impose on the team - his tactical positions to get on the ball, the variety so that he can move freely to create space for himself.
"He presses with a real aggression, he anticipates and he blocks and he doesn't need to be jumping in. That has been consistent, whether it's League Cup, the league or Champions League."
Rodgers revealed that he advised Brown last summer that if he looked after his fitness he could play until he was at least 35.
He said: "You have to ensure that everything about your life is perfect.
"He readjusted his diet, took on board everything we were looking to impose and that has given him confidence.
"He will run all day for you; it was just guiding that and making sure it was consistent. I look at his physical shape, he's in great condition - fit, strong.
"He has never let up in any day. I've given him a few extra days off through the season but he has never wanted it. Even in training, he brings intensity."
David Coombs also targeted people in hospitals in Hampshire and Dorset, pretending to be a wealthy businessman.

He received a four-year sentence at a hearing at Southampton Crown Court.
Police said his victims were aged between 49 and 83 years old.
Coombs would strike up relationships with them before asking to borrow money claiming his wallet had been stolen or his card mistakenly blocked by his bank.
He purported to be a wealthy businessman, employed by an interior design company, and claimed to have multiple properties and offshore bank accounts.
Coombs came to the attention of police after one woman he had been in a relationship with contacted them when he began to harass her.
Det Sgt Will Whale said he had been "spinning a web of lies" over 22 months.
"His persistent offending has had an immeasurable effect on the lives of his victims, not just financially but also psychologically."

The video is for The Next Day, taken from his comeback album of the same name.
It depicts Bowie as a messianic figure, dressed in a robe and fronting a band in a basement bar.
Oldman plays a priest who dances with Cotillard before she bleeds from stigmata marks on her palms.
Bowie's last video, for The Stars (Are Out Tonight), featured another Oscar-winner, Tilda Swinton.
The new film was directed by photographer Floria Sigismondi and features characters dressed as clergymen amid heavy religious imagery.
As it ends with the characters arranged in a tableau, Bowie says: "Thank you Gary, thank you Marion, thank you everybody."
Oldman previously worked with Bowie in the 1990s when they performed a duet on guitarist Reeves Gabrels' 1995 album The Sacred Squall of Now.
Imperial War Museum Duxford plans to overhaul the offering at its American Air Museum, built in 1997.
It also plans to put 15,000 rarely seen prints and slides online and carry out conservation work on its aircraft.
Robyn Llewellyn, from the Heritage Lottery Fund, said the grant would allow "fascinating stories" to be told.
The museum said the first phase of the project involves putting its Freeman Collection online, which contains thousands of pictures and artefacts about the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in Britain during World War Two.
Mr Llewellyn said: "The American Air Museum has possibly the best collection of US military aircraft outside the USA.
"This project will give IWM Duxford the opportunity to overhaul the displays and galleries and bring many of the fascinating stories of the First World War, Second World War, and more recent conflicts to life in new and exciting ways."

Selby, 33, made a stunning comeback on Monday to beat Scotland's John Higgins 18-15 and win his third Crucible crown.
"I am determined that Mark's achievements should be celebrated," mayor Peter Soulsby told BBC Sport.
Last year, Leicester's footballers had their Premier League title win marked by several murals around the city.
Players such as Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, as well as manager Claudio Ranieri, had their portraits painted on the side of buildings in the streets.
In 2016 Selby, a boyhood Leicester City supporter, potted the winning ball in the final against China's Ding Junhui to secure his second world title just 12 minutes after the Foxes became top-flight champions for the first time.
Two years prior to that, Selby won his first world title against Ronnie O'Sullivan, which came in the same year as the football club achieved promotion back to the Premier League.
Soulsby added: "I am sure Mark will understand, being a City fan himself, that last year there was a danger of his win being overshadowed by Leicester City's Premier League victory, but not so this time.
"I think we should have a mural for him, similar to the murals we have in the centre of Leicester celebrating the football club's win.
"This is a fantastic win for Mark, and for Leicester. It is an amazing achievement."
Selby had fallen 10-4 behind in this year's final, before a run of nine out of 10 frames helped him towards victory.
A 17-year-old boy and a girl, aged 16, remain in hospital after the collision on Battersea Park Road on Monday morning.
Their injuries are not believed to be serious, the Metropolitan Police said.
Five other pedestrians - four boys and a girl, all in their late teens - were treated for minor injuries but were later released from hospital.
One victim is understood to have fallen onto the back window of a parked car on the street below the bridge where the accident occurred, the Evening Standard reported.
The 35-year-old driver of the red Ferrari 458 stopped at the scene and was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
He remains in custody at a west London police station.
Emergency services, including London's Air Ambulance, attended the incident and road closures were put in place.
It was initially reported that six people were hurt in the crash, but that figure was updated by the Met on Tuesday.
There are 24 award categories and, this year, performers in the four-hour ceremony will include Rita Ora, Lady Gaga and Adam Levine.
Radio 1's Film Critic, Rhianna Dhillon, has shared her predictions for the top categories with Newsbeat.
But, as well as who she THINKS will get an award, she also revealed who she WANTS to get one.
I think Boyhood will win, not necessarily because it's the best film but because there has been SO much campaigning around it. I think the dedication of everyone involved (12 years!!) will resonate with voters.
Seeing a fantastically, well-made film is not rare at the Oscars but watching actors grow up and mature before your eyes is such a unique experience and that is what makes Boyhood stand out.
I want Whiplash to win. I wasn't expecting a tense thriller about a jazz drummer but that's what I got.
Again I think it will be Richard Linklater.
Boyhood is not the most action heavy film but it's beautifully shot and captures moments that almost everyone can empathise with. It's got the awkwardness of growing, embarrassing parents, falling in and out of love. It's such a natural story.
I want it to go to Birdman. Alejandro G. Iñárritu should get it for his unnerving and excellent 'all shot in one take' experience.
I reckon Eddie Redmayne will probably take home a little golden man in this one. Mainly because he's just so transformative in the Theory of Everything. His performance goes so much further than just a good impression of Stephen Hawking.
It would have been easy to make the film sad or depressing but he makes it an inspirational and uplifting watch.
It's what I want to happen as well! Eddie's performance is stand-out and he deserves the award.
Julianne Moore has given two stunning performances, for Maps to the Stars and Still Alice. Her characters in those films are poles apart and it's incredible that someone so experienced can still surprise with her versatility.
Still Alice is a film that will stay with audiences for a very long time after they've watched it, not for the script, not even necessarily for the plot, but for Moore's acting ability.
Just because she's pulling a double during the awards season, I want Julianne to get this one.
Patricia Arquette. She's won SO MANY awards already for her role as a single mum struggling to bring up 2 children in Boyhood. It's a very human role and one that audiences can recognise.
She almost makes you forget you're watching a film because she's so natural and portrays such raw emotion in it.
I want Emma Stone to get it for Birdman. That would be brilliant because of the way her character rebelled her egotistical dad.
JK Simmons as the vicious, megalomaniacal conductor in Whiplash is such a alteration from the smaller, character roles we usually see him play.
He shows us a super-villain in an ordinary situation and it is breath-taking and gripping in equal measure. This was the role that came out of nowhere and wowed audiences. He deserves an Oscar.
If JK doesn't get it, I'll eat all the M&Ms in that picture.
The Oscars Red Carpet starts at 23:30 GMT on Sky Movies 22 February.

Mr Phillips said the decision was to focus on building Swansea's regional and national profile although details of his new role are not yet known.
It comes a week after he was told to expect a leadership challenge after sacking two cabinet members in a reshuffle but he would not comment on whether his departure was linked.
Mr Phillips led the council's Labour group for 10 years.
The Labour group has been in power at the authority for the last two years.
The selection process to find a new leader begins on Monday.
He said from the back benches he will continue to give his "complete support to the new cabinet and the group as we work to continue to deliver on our manifesto commitments for the good of the people of Swansea and the wider region".
Labour group chairman Robert Francis Davies said: "David Phillips has made an enormous contribution to Swansea and to Labour and will continue to do so in the future. We want to keep his talents working for our city."
James Healy-Pratt, of Stewarts Law, said aircraft owners Canfield Hunter Ltd admitted responsibility in 2015.
He said the firm had resolved two claims and nearly resolved a third.
The owners said the admission was a statutory requirement and they could not comment further on compensation.
The Hawker Hunter jet crashed on to the A27 in West Sussex during the air show on 22 August last year.
The pilot, Andy Hill, is at the centre of a manslaughter investigation. The final AAIB report into the crash has not yet been published.
Mr Healy-Pratt said: "We obtained an admission of responsibility from the owners of the Hawker Hunter at the end of 2015.
"Through their aviation insurance in London, we have already negotiated several compensation packages for some of our families, and the other ones we're continuing to negotiate and they'll probably get resolved this year."
He said his firm was representing just over half of the families involved.
He said the compensation packages were final and did not not depend upon the final AAIB report or any criminal prosecution.
A spokesman for Canfield Hunter said the owners could not comment any further given that the AAIB and police investigations were ongoing and the inquest had not yet taken place.
"We remain committed to doing everything we can to assist those affected by this tragic incident," he said. "We continue to be in contact with the authorities and are co-operating fully with the various ongoing investigations."
Events to mark the first anniversary of the crash on Monday include a minute's silence on a toll bridge, where thousands of tributes were laid after the disaster. A church service is also being held on Saturday.
The partner of Mark Trussler, 54, one of the men who died, has said it is getting harder to deal with his death.
The father-of-six from Worthing went to watch the last flight of the Vulcan bomber, which was due to take place that day.
Giovanna Chirico, his fiancee, said: "I don't feel anything's got any easier, if anything it's got harder."
She said: "With it coming up to the year, I think I've become more emotional - it's really hard to explain really, just lost."
Ms Chirico said the toll bridge was a hard place to be: "There are just so many emotions when I'm up there.
"I sit there and I think why Mark? Why the other 10? Why the accident? I feel like I'm always overpowered by questions in my own head."
Lamara Bell, 25, and John Yuill, 28, died after lying in a crashed car for three days after the incident was first reported to police.
Officers had failed to follow up a call received about the crash.
The couple were eventually discovered in the vehicle, close to the motorway at Bannockburn on 8 July, 2015.
The case was subsequently referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc).
Former Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland QC, who stepped down from the role earlier this year, said he would expect an FAI to be held, given the level of public concern over the incident.
In a letter to Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie, the new Lord Advocate, James Wolffe QC, wrote: "As you know, the former advocate considered that this was a case of the utmost seriousness.
"He was committed to ensuring the matter was investigated thoroughly. I share that view.
"When the investigations, which go beyond the work the procurator fiscal has directed the Pirc to do, are completed the case must be reported to Crown counsel."
Mr Wolffe said that all options that were open to Crown counsel when considering a sudden death would be available.
He added: "One of these options is for Crown counsel to instruct that a fatal accident inquiry should be held.
"Like my predecessor, I consider it inconceivable that a fatal accident inquiry will not be held given the public concern over this tragedy.
"The investigations are, at present, ongoing and there is considerable work to do before the case can be reported to Crown counsel."
An interim Pirc report into the case was submitted in November last year and a supplementary report submitted in June.
A Pirc spokesman said: "The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) is currently considering the content of both reports submitted by the Commissioner on her independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of John Yuill, 28, and Lamara Bell, 25.
"We have received no instruction from the COPFS to undertake any further enquiries in relation to this investigation.
"The Commissioner will undertake further enquiries as required."
Mr Rennie said: "The fact that the new Lord Advocate holds the same view as his predecessor is welcome.
"This will help ensure that no stone is left unturned as we seek the answers that we need over the tragic M9 crash.
"An FAI is the best way to ensure that the circumstances that led to the crash and the failure to respond are fully understood.
"The families deserve nothing less."
Mr Quang, 59, has been head of the ministry of public security, which has been the focus of Western criticism of the nation's human rights record.
He had been nominated for the largely ceremonial role at January's communist party conference.
One of his first tasks will be to welcome visiting US President Barack Obama next month.
Mr Quang won 91.5% of a rubber-stamp vote in parliament on Saturday.
"I sincerely thank the National Assembly for electing me," Mr Quang said as he was sworn in. He is the first police general to fill the post.
The Communist Party in January re-elected Nguyen Phu Trong, 71, in the leading role of general secretary for a second term.
His re-election came after reformist Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung withdrew his candidacy.
The National Assembly will vote next week on a new prime minister - set to be Deputy PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc,
Earlier in the week, the assembly elected its first woman Speaker - Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes could even give Graeme the task of marking midfield playmaker Andrew, who is on loan at cup holders Hibernian from Birmingham City, out of the game at Hampden Park.
It will be the first time that the former Inverness Caledonian Thistle team-mates have played against one another in a competitive senior game.
The Aberdeen-born siblings have only been in opposing colours once - when Birmingham faced Caley Thistle in a friendly at a time when Graeme was still operating more regularly at full-back.
But Graeme believes that destiny has played its hand and that facing his older brother on Saturday was "meant to be".
"It just had that feeling about it that it was going to go that way," he said.
"We have had a bit of banter about it. We both know it's a massive occasion for both teams and we both will just be focused on doing well.
"We're both professionals. We both know, when it comes down to the day, we've both got a job to do for our teams."

Andrew, two years the elder at 27, had left Caley Thistle by the time a Highland side featuring his brother lost the Scottish League Cup final to Aberdeen at Celtic Park in 2014.
A year later, Graeme captained Caley Thistle to their first major cup success in the Scottish Cup final against Falkirk.
Andrew was also three months too late in joining Hibs to be able to enjoy the celebrations that accompanied them lifting the same trophy for the first time in 114 years.
Then, in November, Graeme was part of the Dons side that lost this season's League Cup final to Celtic.
The younger Shinnie is all too aware that he could help crush Andrew's dreams of reaching a cup final, while Andrew can destroy his own hopes of a first winner's medal with the Dons.
"The relationship of brothers goes out the window for that 90 minutes," he said. "It's all about doing what we've been doing all season.
"It'll be a different experience but one that can't get in the way of what either of us are trying to do.
"We just need to treat it as a normal game."
Although rivals this weekend, the sibling rivalry has run in the family for a lot longer.
"We were both really competitive - probably one of the worst things for our parents," said Graeme, whose fine strike secured the Dons a place in the semi-final at the expense of Partick Thistle.
Andrew, who can boast one more Scottish Cup goal this season after hitting the net against Bonnyrigg Rose and Hearts, agreed.
"We have always been like that from a young age," said the Hibs midfielder. "Everything we did was to the max.
"We argued quite a lot when we were younger as brothers because we are that competitive, whether it was football or computer games.
"But it made us what we are now - we're winners.
"He's a winner and I like winning as well and it bode well for our futures really."
Any brotherly love will be left in the locker room as both insist that winning comes first, especially when a cup final place is at stake.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"Winning silverware is always the best thing in football," the Dons midfielder explained. "I'm at a club now where it is kind of expected.
"The fans are desperate for us; the players are desperate for it, the management, everyone's desperate for it.
"The whole focus is on the game on Saturday and trying to get through to the final."
Andrew is looking forward to the challenge.
"It's going to be a feisty affair, but you've got to keep your head as well and you've got to keep your composure and play with a bit of quality and that's what's ultimately going to get you there," he suggested.
"Both teams desperately want to be in the final. I know I do and I know Graeme does."
For the brothers, there is happiness that at least one Shinnie will be in the Scottish Cup final.
As for the parents, Graeme suspects: "They'll try find the most neutral seat in Hampden." | Not content with topping the charts, being impossibly catchy and featuring Justin Bieber on the remix, Despacito has now also broken a chart record.

Police are investigating whether Brady, 74, gave details to his mental health advocate, Jackie Powell.
Ms Powell was arrested in south Wales on suspicion of preventing a lawful burial and has been bailed.
Police have searched the hospital where Brady is being treated but no relevant documents were found.
Detectives checking documents seized from Ms Powell's home have so far found no letter or any evidence to suggest Brady has disclosed the location of Keith's body.
Brady and Myra Hindley murdered five children between 1963 and 1965.
The bodies of three of them were buried on Saddleworth Moor near Manchester, while one was found at Brady's home.
Keith's is the only body never found.
He was abducted on his way to visit his grandmother in Manchester on 16 June 1964. His mother Winnie Johnson, 78, has fought a long campaign to get Brady to reveal the location of her son's grave.
A Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spokesman said: "On 30 July 2012, Greater Manchester Police received information that led officers to believe that Ian Brady had recently given details of the location of Keith Bennett's body to one of his long-term visitors."
Martin Bottomley, from Greater Manchester Police's Major and Cold Case Crime Unit, said: "I want to be explicitly clear about this - Ian Brady has not revealed to police the location of Keith's body.
"What we are looking at is the possibility, and at this stage it is only a possibility, that he has written a letter to Keith's mum Winnie Johnson which was not to be opened until after his death.
"We do not know if this is true or simply a ruse but we clearly have a duty to investigate such information on behalf of Keith's family."
The police were alerted to the possibility of information about the location of Keith's remains by the makers of a Channel 4 documentary about Brady, who said Ms Powell had told them she had received letters from the killer, one of which was for Mrs Johnson.
In the programme, Ms Powell said that "clearly there's something within the letter that may be able to find her son, I would suggest".
She added that she thought there "might be nothing in the letter" and, as a result, she had been "in a dilemma" as to whether to inform police.
Sky News reported Ms Powell told a reporter that her words had been misrepresented and she was seeking legal advice.
The documentary's editor Emma Cooper said, after learning of the documents, she had informed police.
"No-one can verify the contents of the envelope and therefore what information it does or does not contain, but given the enormity of the implications as suggested by Brady's letter, we felt we had a responsibility to inform the family via their family liaison officer," she said.
By Dave GuestChief Reporter, North West Tonight
GMP have said categorically there will be no search of Saddleworth Moor today.
There have been many searches over the years, raising the hopes of Winnie Johnson of being reunited with her son, but all have come to nothing.
If you look at the terrain, it is brooding, it is beautiful but it is vast.
So it is not surprising that it is very difficult to stand any chance of finding the body in that terrain.
Back in 1987, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley came to the moors to help the police try and pinpoint the graves - on that occasion, they found the grave of Pauline Reade, but they did not find Keith.
The shifting landscape has made the search all the more difficult over the years.
Police will be looking very carefully at this letter to see if there is any evidence for them to make a very focused search.
In a statement posted on a site dedicated to Keith, his brother Alan Bennett said that "until some definite information is found regarding Keith's whereabouts we do not want to raise our hopes too high at this stage".
"Nonetheless, it is a very important development," he added.
Brady, 74, was jailed for life in 1966 at Chester Assizes for the murders of Lesley Ann Downey, 10, John Kilbride, 12, and Edward Evans, 17.
His victims were kidnapped and tortured.
He has spent the past 25 years at the high-security Ashworth Hospital in Merseyside and has been tube-fed since refusing food 12 years ago.
Hindley, who died in prison in November 2002 aged 60, was given a life sentence for the murders of Lesley Ann and Edward and for shielding Brady after John's murder.
In 1987 they admitted killing Keith and 16-year-old Pauline Reade, whose bodies had not been found.
Both were taken back to Saddleworth Moor to help police find the remains of the missing victims but only Pauline's body was found.
The director of public prosecutions at the time decided prosecuting Brady and Hindley for the final two killings would not be in the public interest.
Police abandoned the hunt for Keith's body in 2009 and officers said they would need fresh evidence to resume the search.
Greater Manchester Police said warrants were executed at Ashworth Hospital, where Brady is being treated, and an address in south Wales on Thursday.
Last month Brady, who was born in Glasgow, was due to go before a mental health tribunal to consider his application to be transferred to a Scottish prison and be allowed to die. But the hearing was postponed when he suffered a seizure.
Last December, Mrs Johnson, from Longsight, Manchester, said she wanted to attend the planned hearing to face Brady, saying she had "never seen him face to face".
But in the days leading up to the tribunal, before it was called off, she said it would be too traumatic for her to attend.
Mrs Johnson's solicitor John Ainley said his client had "always believed that Ian Brady knew where her son was buried".
"Her one and only desire is to give her son a proper family burial during her lifetime."
He added he found it "difficult to believe this story is true, but if it is, she will be bitterly disappointed that after all the requests she has made to Brady, that he has left it to this very late stage to provide information, and even that information isn't readily available.
"I remain to be convinced - it seems rather late in the day and a strange turn of events to come to light at this time."

Egypt and Russia dismissed IS claims that its militants were responsible.
Jihadists allied to so-called Islamic State in Sinai, where such groups are active, made a claim on social media that they had brought down flight KGL9268.
But Egyptian Prime Minister Sharif Ismail said experts had confirmed that a plane could not be downed at 9,450m (31,000ft), the altitude the Airbus 321 was flying at, by weapons the militants are known to possess.
President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi also urged caution on Sunday, saying the investigation into the cause was a "complicated matter" that could take months.
Russian Transport Minister Maksim Sokolov said no evidence had been seen that indicated the plane was targeted, and IS has not produced pictures or video footage to substantiate its claim.
Analysis by BBC Monitoring found that a video purporting to show the downing of a plane did not appear to be an official IS clip, and was not shared on official IS channels.
They've been reading out the names of the dead here, one by one.
There were memorial services across the country for those killed, flying back from a holiday in the sun.
The vast majority were from here, in St Petersburg. Russian officials have now joined the hunt for clues at the crash scene in Egypt - they're also recovering the bodies. The first could be flown back this evening.
Here, at the airport where flight 9268 should have arrived, there is a growing pile of flowers and toys left in memory of those who died, including 25 children.
Three airlines - Emirates, Air France and Lufthansa - have decided not to fly over the Sinai Peninsula until more information is available. Two smaller carriers, flydubai and Air Arabia, also said they would re-route flights.
British Airways and easyJet said they were not currently intending to alter their routes.
The Kogalymavia Airbus A-321 came down early on Saturday, shortly after leaving the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh for the Russian city of St Petersburg.
Russian and French investigators have joined the Egyptian-led probe, along with experts from Airbus, which is headquartered in France.
Meanwhile a Russian team has arrived at the crash site to join efforts to recover bodies, Russian media say.
Egyptian officials said some bodies had been recovered within a radius of 5km on Saturday, but that of a three-year-old girl was found 8km from the scene.
The plane's black boxes have been found and sent for analysis, officials said.
Egypt's civil aviation minister Hossam Kamal said there had been no sign of any problems on board the flight, contradicting earlier reports that the pilot had asked to make an emergency landing.
The widow of the plane's co-pilot told Russian TV her husband had complained about the aircraft's technical condition.
The BBC's Sally Nabil in Cairo says the crash has been a major blow to Egypt's already struggling tourism industry, and the Egyptian authorities are trying hard to accelerate the investigation process.
The plane was carrying 217 passengers, including 25 children, Russian transport authorities said. There were seven crew members on board.
Egyptian officials had said 213 of the passengers were Russian and four were Ukrainian, but Russian officials said at least one of the victims was from Belarus.
The bodies of 163 victims have so far been recovered and taken to Cairo.
The first bodies to be returned to Russia are expected to be flown to St Petersburg on Sunday.
One un-named official told Reuters the plane appeared to have split in two, with one part burning up and the other crashing into a rock.
05:58 Egyptian time (03:58 GMT): Flight leaves Sharm el-Sheikh, the Egyptian cabinet says in a statement
06:14 Egyptian time (04:14 GMT): Plane fails to make scheduled contact with air traffic control based in Larnaca, Cyprus, according to Sergei Izdolsky, an official with Russia's air transport agency
06:17 Egyptian time, approx (04:17 GMT): Plane comes down over the Sinai peninsula, according to Airbus
11:12 Egyptian time (09:12 GMT): Flight had been due to land in St Petersburg's Pulkovo airport
Depp accepted the award at the People's Choice Awards, days after his divorce from Amber Heard was finalised.
Ellen DeGeneres became the most successful star in the awards' history, with a total of 20 awards.
Her awards included best daytime TV host and best animated movie voice.
She recently made headlines when US President Barack Obama got choked up giving her the prestigious Medal of Freedom.
Depp beat Hollywood stars including Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington to be voted favourite movie icon.
Depp has denied Heard's claims he had been physically abusive to her, and police officers attending the scene said they had found no evidence of a crime.
In December, Depp was named the most overpaid actor in Hollywood for the second consecutive year.
Accepting the trophy at the Los Angeles ceremony, Depp said: "I came here for one reason tonight and one reason only.
"I came here for you, the people who, through whatever good times or bad, have stood by me, trusted me.
"You've very graciously invited me here once again tonight. You have no idea how much I appreciate it."
Blake Lively, who beat Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep to win best dramatic movie actress, said: "Thank you for sending a message to Hollywood that people want to hear stories about women, and we want to hear your stories, whether it's social media, your iPhone, whatever, tell your stories—now more than ever."
Joking with the women in the audience who whooped when she mentioned her husband, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, she added: "So thank you guys, and thank you to my husband who's everything to me. You can't have him, he's mine! Thank you!"
Other winners included Reynolds, Passengers star Jennifer Lawrence, Iron Man Robert Downey Jr and Suicide Squad's Margot Robbie.
The full list of winners is on the People's Choice website.

Hildebrando Chaviano is an independent journalist and lawyer, and Yuniel Lopez a member of an outlawed political party, the Independent and Democratic Cuba Party.
The two men were standing for places on local councils in Havana.
Their election would have been unprecedented under Cuba's current single-party electoral system.
Both Mr Chaviano and Mr Lopez said they had fallen too far behind in the count for a chance of victory.
After advancing past the first round, they told foreign press agencies they thought the government had been caught off guard by the strength of their support.
Like half of the 27,000 candidates for municipal posts, the two were selected by a show of hands in a local neighbourhood meeting. The final round of the elections is by secret vote - there is no campaigning.
"We have to take advantage of the moment," Mr Chaviano said. "No-one from the government was expecting us to be nominated and even less that we would become candidates."
"Some people say that there is fear in Cuba, and I say that people have lost their fear," said Mr Lopez.
Both men had been running for seats on municipal assemblies that oversee local matters that include water supplies, street repairs and insect fumigation.
Municipal assemblies also nominate candidates for half the representatives on provincial assemblies.
The provincial assemblies then nominate candidates for half the members of the National Assembly, which elects Cuba's ruling Council of State, which in turn elects the president.
The other half of the candidates at municipal and provincial level are selected by a government electoral commission, ensuring continued Communist Party control.
President Raul Castro began introducing gradual but wide-ranging economic reforms in 2010.
He also promised changes to the electoral system, but has yet to provide details.
Net profit fell by 54% to $1.1bn (£776m), down from $2.4bn in the first quarter of last year.
Low oil prices hit the US bank's trading business and helped push revenues down from $1.9bn to $873m.
All the big US banks have seen quarterly profits cut by falls in trading and investment banking revenue.
Morgan Stanley chief executive James Gorman said: "The first quarter was characterised by challenging market conditions and muted client activity. Against that backdrop, our businesses delivered stable results.
"While we see some signs of market recovery, global uncertainties continue to weigh on investor activity."
Despite the sharp fall in profit, Morgan Stanley's shares, which have fallen almost 20% since the start of the year, edged up more than 1% in early trading because the results were better-than-expected.
Last week Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America also reported lower first quarter profits after setting aside money to cover losses on energy loans.
Falls in commodity prices, concerns about China's economy and uncertainty about US interest rate rises meant that markets were jittery at the beginning of the year, and traders and investors were reluctant to do business.
Regulators last week rejected the plans of five big US banks for closing their operations in the event of a financial crisis.
Banks labelled "too big to fail" must have a so-called "living will" that would allow them to wind down without the help of public funds.
Bank of America, Bank of New York Mellon, JPMorgan Chase, State Street and Wells Fargo have until 1 October to submit improved plans.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve board jointly rejected the banks' plans.
The Federal Reserve said Morgan Stanley's plans were not credible, but the plans were accepted by the FDIC.
The FDIC rejected Goldman Sachs' proposals, although they were passed by the Federal Reserve.
Germany led inside two minutes but goals from Sam Ward, captain Ian Sloan and two from David Goodfield put England 4-1 ahead at half-time.
Chris Griffiths added a fifth as Bobby Crutchley's side secured their third victory in four Tests in Cape Town.
After an opening 5-2 win over South Africa, they lost 3-0 to Germany before beating the hosts 1-0 on Monday.
Meanwhile, England's women also faced Germany in three unofficial practice matches in South Africa, losing two and winning one.
He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show the Lib Dems wanted to "work with other parties in the national interest" in a post-election government.
He also said the public wanted "moderation and stability".
Planned Tory cuts were "potentially horrendous" and Labour had not said how it would reduce the deficit, he added.
Mr Cable said Prime Minister David Cameron would need the Lib Dems for "stability" and "competence" because otherwise his options for support were UKIP and 30 to 40 of his own Tory backbenchers "who hate his guts".
He added that the Lib Dems had been "competent on economics and making the numbers add up" and had combined that with "fairness and social justice".
He said he had no personal preference over whether his party governed with the Conservatives or Labour, should there be another hung parliament.
"We have to respect what the public want... and we have to be able to work with other parties," he said.
Scotland's first minister was speaking as she called for a "short pause" in the Brexit process so consensus can be built on the best way forward.
She wants membership of the European single market and the customs union to be at the heart of the process.
But Prime Minister Theresa May has insisted the UK will be leaving both.
The UK government has also previously rejected Ms Sturgeon's calls for the Scottish government to be involved in the Brexit talks, and for Scotland to keep its single market membership even if the rest of the UK leaves.
Responding to Ms Sturgeon's call, a spokesman for the prime minister said: "We gave a commitment right at the very outset of this process to consult with the devolved administrations and that remains the case."
He went on to say "there would be no change" to the government's plans.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn confirmed on Sunday that his party - like Mrs May - was also committed to leaving the EU and pulling out of the single market, while seeking a "jobs-first Brexit".
But some senior Conservatives - including Chancellor Philip Hammond and the party's Scottish leader, Ruth Davidson - have called for the economy to be prioritised over immigration control.
Ms Davidson, who met Mrs May in Downing Street on Monday, wants a new approach that would build cross-party support for an "open Brexit".
Formal talks between the UK and EU are due to begin on 19 June - although there have been suggestions they could be delayed by a few days.
Ms Sturgeon argued that the instability caused by last week's election result meant the UK's approach to the negotiations had to change.
Speaking as she met her party's MPs at Westminster, Ms Sturgeon said the approach Ms May was taking to Brexit "simply cannot stand" after the Conservatives lost their Commons majority in the election.
She said: "I'm calling today for a process that is opened up to include more voices, all parties and all four nations of the UK and an approach that has continued membership of the single market at its heart.
"The prime minister has got to recognise that she asked for a strengthened mandate for a hard Brexit, and voters across the UK refused to give her that, and she cannot simply carry one as if nothing has changed.
"The Tory cabal kicking up a hard Brexit approach is dead in the water."
Ms Sturgeon also questioned whether the prime minister could form a functioning government, adding: "The idea that the UK led by this prime minister and this government can just blunder into negotiations starting one week today, I just don't think it's a credible proposition."
Mrs May is currently attempting to secure a deal that would see the Democratic Unionist Party support her minority government, which has confirmed that next week's Queen's Speech could be delayed.
Ms Sturgeon's proposals for Brexit include the involvement of the UK's devolved governments in the negotiations, and the re-establishment of the Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) on EU Negotiations.
She also wants a cross-party advisory group to be set up, including representatives from the devolved administrations, to agree a new position for the UK and oversee the Brexit negotiations.
The SNP won 35 seats in the general election, down 21 on the 56 MPs it returned in 2015 but still enough to give the party a majority of the seats in Scotland.
Among the SNP MPs to lose their seat was the party's Westminster leader Angus Robertson. Stewart Hosie has been confirmed as its acting leader in the Commons with a new permanent leader due to be selected this week and announced on Wednesday evening.
Tommy Sheppard, Joanna Cherry, Ian Blackford and Drew Hendry are all standing as candidates.
The UK government's rejection of a special Brexit deal for Scotland prompted Ms Sturgeon to demand a second independence referendum when the Brexit process was formally triggered in March.
The first minister has since admitted the issue of another referendum was a factor in last Thursday's vote, and stated the party would reflect on its plans amid calls for it to be taken off the table.
She has turned her focus to the UK's Brexit approach as other political leaders, including Ms Davidson and Scottish Secretary David Mundell, called for more consensus on Brexit.
Speaking on Saturday, Ms Davidson said: 'I want to ensure that we can look again at issues like Brexit, which we know we are now going to have to get cross-party support for, and move to a consensus within the country about what it means and what we seek to achieve as we leave."
She has previously said she wants the UK to have the "largest amount of access" to the single market after Brexit.
And there have been suggestions she will use the influence of her party's new Scottish MPs to push for what she describes as an "open Brexit" that prioritises the economy over curbing immigration.
Mr Mundell told BBC Scotland that he had always believed it would be possible to build a consensus, particularly in Scotland, for what the Brexit negotiations should achieve.

TV station France 2 and Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera claimed thermal imaging showed five motors had been hidden at two races this year.
The first top-level example of such practice was discovered at January's under-23 cyclocross world championship.
The UCI uses magnetic resonance testing, which is "easy to deploy".
"We have been trialling new methods of detection over the last year," the governing body told Reuters.
"We have looked at thermal imaging, X-ray and ultrasonic testing but by far the most cost-effective, reliable and accurate method has proved to be magnetic resonance testing.
"The scanning is done with a tablet and enables an operator to test the frame and wheels of a bike in less than a minute."
The UCI did not comment specifically on the latest claims but said it had tested 216 bikes at the Tour of Flanders and 224 at Paris-Roubaix, both of which took place this month.
France 2 and Corriere della Sera claimed three motors had been hidden in the seat tube and two in the rear hub at the Strade Bianche one-day race and the Coppi e Bartali earlier this season.

Signs of sorrow and solidarity are visible everywhere in the usually reserved town - a place that is often passed by as people drive down Interstate 5 to Oregon's larger cities of Portland or Salem.
"Our thoughts are with families for loved ones lost," reads one. "Thank you to all first responders," says another. Across the road, the single word "prayers" sits alongside the slogan "UCC [Umpqua Community College] strong".
Practically everyone in this close-knit community of about 20,000 people knew someone who was at Umpqua Community College when 26-year-old Chris Harper Mercer went on his savage shooting spree.
Supermarket cashier Latysha Nash, 23, says it's the type of town where she knows all her customers by name. "Everyone is hurting so much. I lost my 18-year-old cousin and my family friend Quinn Cooper. It's hard to be at work, I've broken down twice. But we have to stay strong. It's what my cousin would have wanted," she says.
Should media name mass killers? - the copycat killing phenomenon
Army vet 'hero' in Oregon shooting - the man that tried to stop the attack
US gun violence in numbers - shootings have become increasingly commonplace.
What we know about Chris Harper Mercer - the alleged gunman reportedly supported the IRA.
Oregon shooting: The '4chan' thread - did the gunman give a warning on the internet?
Kenny Freeman, 19, agrees. But he can't get the sound of screaming out of his head. "I'm terrified of going back to college. It's good to be busy working today because I spent all of yesterday thinking about it," he says.
Standing in line to donate blood at Mercy Medical Centre, where many of the injured students were rushed after the attack, Tanya Talbot, 22, is angry that the gunman targeted people "who were trying to better themselves".
"My best friend's sister is still having surgery. She was shot 10 times but thankfully she's expected to be OK.
"I'm more mad than sad - why would someone go to such extreme measures to destroy so many lives? Why should people be scared? Teachers should be armed and prepared," she says.
Like with every mass shooting in America, the tragedy has brought the political issue of gun control to the fore.
Oregon became the eighth US state to require screening on nearly all gun sales in May after Democrat Governor Kate Brown signed a new bill, but Republicans vehemently opposed the measure, and Roseburg is a predominantly conservative community.
Pastor Boyd Dahl, 66, says most people grew up with guns and don't see them as threat. "I grew up getting a box of bullets every day and I'd shoot them.
"It's something fathers teach their sons. Good people would fight you if you said they were taking their gun, just like they would if it was the family silver," he says.
Five miles up the road, 73-year-old John Keller is being bought a hunting gun by his wife for his birthday. He's appalled by the UCC shooting, but strongly believes that people have the right to own a gun for their own protection.
Most of the community seems to agree, although some want gun owners to come under more scrutiny.
"I'm devastated this happened in my hometown, I would never have expected it. We need more gun control laws, armed guards and metal detectors," says 24-year-old UCC student Sheyenne Smith.
About 47% of Americans say they favour stricter laws covering the sale of firearms, according to Gallop. That rose to 58% in the wake of the Sandy Hook primary school shootings in 2012, but Pew Research suggests shootings generally don't substantially affect citizens' views on gun control.
Residents of Roseburg are hoping the horror that has sent shock waves through their community won't change the way the US sees their home either.
An anonymity campaign about the gunman has been driven by Douglas County Sheriff John Halin, who said: "You will never hear me say his name."
Nobody seems to know the gunman, and nobody wants to know him.
They would rather talk about their heroes - army veteran Chris Mintz, who was shot seven times after he stood up to the shooter, and Alek Skarlotos, the National Guard member who overpowered a heavily-armed gunman in northern France earlier this year, who is also from Roseburg.
It's a brave attempt at unity and strength as this town struggles to deal with its grief.
It follows a failed bid to join the international body as a full member state in 2011 because of a lack of support in the UN Security Council.
Here is a guide to the move's likely significance.
What were the Palestinians asking for?
The Palestinians have long sought to establish an independent, sovereign state in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip - occupied by Israel during the 1967 Six Day War. The 1993 Oslo Accord between the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Israel led to mutual recognition. However, two decades of on-off peace talks have since failed to produce a permanent settlement. The latest round of direct negotiations broke down in 2010.
Palestinian officials have since pursued a new diplomatic strategy: asking individual countries to recognise an independent Palestinian state with borders following the ceasefire lines which separated Israel and the West Bank before June 1967.
In September 2011, Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and chairman of the PLO, sought full member-state status at the UN based on pre-1967 frontiers. But the bid effectively stalled two months later after Security Council members said they had been unable to "make a unanimous recommendation". Mr Abbas then submitted a downgraded request to the General Assembly for admission to the UN as a non-member observer state - the same position that the Vatican holds. Previously, the PLO only had "permanent observer" status.
The change allows the Palestinians to participate in General Assembly debates. It also improves the Palestinians' chances of joining UN agencies and the International Criminal Court (ICC), although the process would be neither automatic nor guaranteed. If they are allowed to sign the ICC's founding treaty, the Rome Statute, the Palestinians hope prosecutors would investigate alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes.
What was the general process?
The chances of the Palestinians obtaining non-member observer state status were high - a resolution need only be passed by a simple majority at the 193-member UN General Assembly, and there is no threat of veto as there would be at the Security Council. According to the PLO, more than 130 countries already grant the Palestinians the rank of a sovereign state. Palestinian officials had said they hoped to win the votes of 150 to 170 countries at the UN to show the isolation of the US and Israel on this issue. In the event, 138 countries voted in favour.
President Abbas addressed the General Assembly on 27 September and said his government would seek the UN upgrade in the current session. He said he realised that "progress towards making peace is through negotiations between the PLO and Israel", acknowledging international concerns about future talks. "Despite all the complexities of the prevailing reality and all the frustrations that abound, we say before the international community there is still a chance - maybe the last - to save the two-state solution and to salvage peace," he added.
After Mr Abbas laid out his intentions, his aides consulted other countries before drafting a resolution. It was not tabled until after the US presidential election.
The Palestinians' earlier attempt to gain full member-state status failed because it had to be approved by the 15-member UN Security Council. In the face of strong lobbying by Israel's close ally, the United States, it could not secure the nine votes it would have required. In any case, as a permanent member of the council, the US was expected to use its veto power to stop the bid.
Palestinian officials insist they have not abandoned their application to become a full UN member state, saying it is suspended for the moment.
Is this symbolic or will it change facts on the ground?
Getting recognition of Palestinian statehood on the pre-1967 ceasefire lines has largely symbolic value. Already there is wide international acceptance that they should form the basis of a permanent peace settlement.
The problem for the Palestinians is that Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, rejects these territorial lines as a basis for negotiations. He has described them as "unrealistic" and "indefensible". He says that new facts have been created on the ground since 1967: about half a million Jews live in more than 200 settlements and outposts in the West Bank including East Jerusalem. These settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. Mutually-agreed land swaps have been discussed in previous talks as a way to overcome this problem.
The Palestinians argue that admission even as a non-member observer state at the UN will strengthen their hands in peace talks with Israel on core issues that divide them: the status of Jerusalem, the fate of the settlements, the precise location of borders, the right of return of Palestinian refugees, water rights and security arrangements. The Palestinians present the step as necessary to protect their right to self-determination and a two-state solution.
The draft resolution "expresses the urgent need for the resumption and acceleration of negotiations within the Middle East peace process, based on the relevant United Nations resolutions, the Madrid terms of reference, including the principle of land for peace, the Arab Peace Initiative and the Quartet Roadmap, for the achievement of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement between the Palestinian and Israeli sides that resolves all outstanding core issues".
Israel says that any upgrade of the Palestinian status at the UN would pre-empt final-status negotiations. The Israeli prime minister's office reacted to the decision with the following statement: "This is a meaningless decision that will not change anything on the ground. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that there will be no establishment of a Palestinian state without a settlement that ensures the security of Israel's citizens... By going to the UN, the Palestinians have violated the agreements with Israel and Israel will act accordingly."
What legal action could the Palestinians consider?
In April, the prosecutor of the ICC rejected a 2009 declaration by the Palestinian Authority unilaterally recognising the court's jurisdiction. The court said in a statement it could not act because Article 12 of the Rome Statute established that only a "state" could confer jurisdiction on the court and deposit an instrument of accession with the UN secretary general and the Palestinian status at the UN at the time was that of an "observer".
In instances where it was controversial or unclear whether an applicant constituted a "state", it was the practice of the secretary general to follow or seek the General Assembly's directives on the matter, the statement added.
While Palestinian chances of joining the ICC would be neither automatic nor guaranteed as a non-member observer state, Palestinian officials have indicated they will make a new attempt in light of the 29 November vote, which allows them in principle to accede to the ICC.
"Those who don't want to appear before international tribunals must stop their crimes and it is time for them to become accountable," the chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, recently told reporters.
They must first deposit an instrument of accession with the UN Secretary General stating they want to become party to the Rome Statute.
If approved, the ratification would come into effect on the first day of the month following a 60-day holding period.
In general, ratification gives the ICC jurisdiction for events in the future, not the past. The ICC said it was studying the legal implications of the 29 November General Assembly vote.
Technically a state joining the ICC also has the option of granting jurisdiction retroactively to the date when the treaty came into force - on 1 July 2002.
So the Palestinians might seek to have the ICC investigate war crimes allegations from the 2008-2009 Gaza war, as well as the most recent conflict in Gaza.
According to the Reuters news agency, Mr Netanyahu has privately expressed concern that Palestinians might accuse members of his government of crimes against humanity including the forced displacement of populations by establishing settlements on occupied territory.
Why has this happened now?
The main reason is the impasse in peace talks. Ahead of the original UN bid, the Palestinians pointed to the September 2011 date that US President Barack Obama had laid out at the General Assembly a year before as the deadline to achieve a two-state solution. The Quartet of Middle East peace negotiators - the US, European Union, Russia and UN - had worked towards the same deadline. A later statement by the Quartet called for an agreement by the end of this year.
Despite the lack of progress on restarting direct negotiations with Israel, Palestinian leaders argue that they have succeeded in building up state institutions and are ready for statehood. The World Bank has said the same, although it has expressed concern about whether the economies of the West Bank and Gaza are strong enough to support a future state.
Last year, the full UN membership bid easily won the support of ordinary Palestinians who had been energised by uprisings in other parts of the Arab world. Although there was disappointment at what followed, a decisive vote by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) in favour of admitting the Palestine as a member state in October 2011 helped to compensate. This was broadly seen as a step towards strengthening the Palestinians' position at the UN, although it led to the US suspending funding for Unesco.
How does this fit with previous declarations?
In 1988, the late Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, unilaterally declared a Palestinian state within the pre-June 1967 lines. This won recognition from about 100 countries, mainly Arab, Communist and non-aligned states - several of them in Latin America.
UN acceptance of Palestine even as a non-member observer state would have greater impact as the UN is the overarching world body and a source of authority on international law.
Who supported and opposed the latest UN option?
So far this bid has failed to excite public opinion in the occupied territories in the same way as in 2011 and the build-up to it has been more low-key. It is backed by Mr Abbas's Fatah movement, which controls Palestinian Authority-run parts of the West Bank, and was agreed with representatives of other groups in the PLO.
It was initially criticised by senior figures in Hamas, the rival Islamist group which governs the Gaza Strip. However, following the recent eight-day Israeli military offensive on Gaza, Hamas's political leader, Khaled Meshaal, said he "welcomed" the effort. The militant group, Islamic Jihad is also said to have given its unofficial support. "There is not a single party or faction that is not onboard," senior PLO official Hanan Ashrawi told journalists on 28 November.
Within the wider region, the 22-member Arab League has endorsed the approach.
The main opposition came from Israel. Looking to dissuade President Abbas from his plan, it has threatened to withhold crucial tax revenues it collects on behalf of the PA and restrict movements of its officials from the West Bank. On 14 November, a position paper leaked from Israel's foreign ministry also proposed "toppling" Mr Abbas if Palestine's bid for UN non-member observer state status was approved. Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Lior Ben Dor said that if President Abbas continued with the bid, he would be in breach of the 1993 Oslo Accord, under which the PA was established.
In the past few days, Israeli officials have indicated that immediately after the vote sanctions would be introduced against the Palestinians. However, they say Israel will not take irreversible steps and will not act to bring down the PA. Only if the Palestinians use their upgraded UN membership to press cases at the International Criminal Court will Israel consider more drastic steps, they add. Speaking to the BBC about the UN bid, deputy Israeli foreign ministry spokeswoman Ilana Stein said: "It is mainly a declarative move, the question is what will the Palestinians do with it. Depending on what steps they take, Israel will act accordingly."
The US, a major donor nation to the PA, could also impose some financial penalties. After Palestine was admitted to Unesco, Washington cut funding to the organisation under legislation dating back to the 1990s. This mandated such a step if any UN agency granted full membership to Palestine before a permanent peace settlement.
Reports before the vote said that Israel had attempted to negotiate with the US over the wording of the UN General Assembly resolution. There were attempts to gain guarantees that the Palestinians would not go to the ICC. However, on the eve of the vote, Mrs Ashrawi insisted: "We have not succumbed to blackmail or pressure."
Some European nations which provide large amounts of aid to the PA are worried that the Palestinians' UN strategy could prove risky. Only nine out of the 27 EU member states recognise Palestine bilaterally. Out of those which do not, France voted for the bid, and Germany and the UK abstained. The UK has requested "certain assurances or amendments" from t he Palestinians, including a commitment not to pursue "ICC jurisdiction over the Occupied Territories at this stage". The Palestinians described the conditions as "unrealistic".
It made him a hero to many in liberal America and beyond - and a symbol to many of Trump's supporters of an out-of-touch liberal elite.
Newsnight editor Ian Katz talked to him about how the media misjudged the US election, the forces behind Trump's triumph and what happens next.
Ian Katz: How did you get it so wrong? How did the whole media get it so wrong?
David Remnick: We're not a polling organisation, The New Yorker. And every polling organisation across the board, including the polls inside the Trump campaign, were telling them the same thing. The idea that [Clinton] would lose Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and Ohio? That was an astonishment. I'm not saying that we didn't have other misjudgments along the way, but everyone who was anybody - with some very rare and seemingly outlying exceptions - called the election the same way.
Ian Katz: Aside from the actual numbers, did you all miss that something significant was happening out there in the country? That there was this tide of anger, frustration - whatever it is.
David Remnick: I think the tide of anger and frustration is pretty longstanding. It's the result of globalisation, de-industrialisation in the United States - and not only in the United States - we see it in Europe, we see it in Britain certainly.
It's just that this guy was a way more talented politician in terms of coalescing this anger… Donald Trump broke all the moulds. He was not a conventional conservative Republican. He was willing to say things that were outside that realm.
Ian Katz: What you're saying is it's not that something radically different is happening in the country. It's just you had a politician who came along who was able to harness it?
David Remnick: He's a brilliant, I think pernicious, but brilliant demagogue, who was able to act as a demagogue - a successful demagogue - on the national level the likes of which you've never seen in the United States.
Ian Katz: I mean there are possibly not that many Trump voters who will see Newsnight, but I imagine if they did, they would watch you and think you just still didn't get it.
David Remnick: No, I get it completely. I think this business of "you don't get" - I get it. I've travelled everywhere in this country. I live in this country. I live in a city of immigrants. I have all kinds of relatives, quite frankly, who voted for Trump. I get it. I get it.
Ian Katz: But you live in the world capital of anti-Trump.
David Remnick: Yes, and I'm a Jew and I'm a journalist and I'm all kinds of things that you can make a cartoon of and say horrible things about. Go ahead. I get it. I understand what's happening. That doesn't mean I have to pull the lever and support blindly Donald Trump, and I won't.
Ian Katz: Let's talk about that extraordinary piece that you wrote on the night of the election. It went around the world I think within hours. You talked about it being a tragedy for the American public, a tragedy for the Constitution, you talked about it being a sickening event in the history of the United States and liberal democracy. I think a lot of people saw it as a clarion call articulating exactly the fear and anger that they felt in response to it.
David Remnick: And I'm sure some people saw it as somebody who didn't get it, who can't reconcile himself to a new president. You should give him a chance. That's the rhetoric of the day.
Ian Katz: That, or that maybe it was just a little hyperventilating - I think even some people on the left thought actually was this written in the emotion and upset of the immediate hours?
David Remnick: I don't deny it. But I also don't rescind it one iota. I wish I could. I would be delighted if the evidence since election night told me: "You know what? It's going to be OK."
Ian Katz: You did talk about markets tumbling. We haven't seen that, have we?
David Remnick: It tumbled and then the reverse happened. I hope to be completely and utterly wrong. But let's look at what's happened. The most important position in this country in terms of national security is the national security adviser. We now have General Michael Flynn in that position - whose temperament, or his experience, is not first class by any stretch of the imagination.
We have a president who seems to think that the normal business of conflicts of interest do not apply to him. His children are going to run a gigantic business, and yet also participate in the decision making of the White House. He has investments all over the world that depend on the favour of heads of state. He doesn't seem to care about this one iota. If he reverses it, if he sells it off, that will be very encouraging.
Ian Katz: He has said he's selling off his stock, hasn't he?
David Remnick: He sold off his equities - $22 million worth of stock sold in June. He still has no intention of showing the American people what his tax returns look like. His temperament - which is a very important thing in a president - it's completely opposite of the temperament you'd like to see in your grown children. It traffics in hatred, in petulance, in resentment. It's ruled by tweet.
I understand, completely and utterly, this is a divided country - ideologically and in many other ways. I know that people of my political ilk are not going to win every election - to not reconcile yourself to that is to be a child. But this is something different. This is not Mitt Romney winning in 2012 or John McCain in 2008.
It's part of a larger current in the world that I find equally troubling, which is an illiberal current. It has justifiable beefs with the results of globalisation, de-industrialisation. There are all kinds of people in the north of England, in the south, in the Rust Belt of the United States and throughout Europe who are made uneasy by, and have suffered by, all these currents. I get that. I do. I just don't think that the political results that we're seeing in many of these countries are the healthiest thing in the world. I think just the opposite. It worries me deeply and I will not rescind that concern. Why should I?
Ian Katz: But pushing a little against the list of things that you've described that you've seen in the month or so since he won. We've also seen him resile from some of the threats or claims he made during the campaign... "I'm not going to build an actual wall." He has stepped back from some of the things that presumably you would have thought were most worrying.
David Remnick: Sure, but the evidence for concern remains overwhelming. For example, he had a meeting with Al Gore about climate change. If in fact that causes him to appoint people in the key positions regarding energy or in the environment who actually believe in science, terrific. I want the best for my country, to say nothing of the environment and the world. It's much more important that happens than I be right on a political point.
I hope I'm dead wrong. But the currents do not indicate that. Not even close. Gore came to that meeting and he came out of the meetings uttering the cliches of "We had a productive conversation".
He did not leave that meeting saying: "Well thank God he's with science now." If that happens, terrific.
Ian Katz: I guess one of the questions is if you come out of the traps in the way that you did on the night of the election as a journalist with the volume set at sort of 95%...
David Remnick: Ten or 11 - like Spinal Tap!
Ian Katz: 95%, maybe it was 110%. Where does that leave you to go, journalistically, if and when he really does do scary stuff?
David Remnick: Campaigns matter too, rhetoric matters too, promises matter too.
I don't think you would call Donald Trump's behaviour during the presidential campaign one of unification, decency, kindness, dignity. It was one of accusation. Playing the racial dog whistle - it really wasn't even a dog whistle. These are things that matter. It's not just that the campaign happened and now we start from a clean slate. The campaign has led to a pre-presidency that has had a certain shape. I understand that this was not going to be the third term of Barack Obama. I get that too, but what you're seeing is a presidency that is alarming. And when things are alarming, it's incumbent upon people when they're writing to sound the alarm if that's what they believe.
I've seen nothing between November 8 and now - you know a goodly month later - that makes me feel "Ah don't get so hot and bothered, we had Nixon we've had..." take your pick of presidents you don't approve of. It's not that. It's something much more alarming.
A friend of mine here at the office said it's like you've been tossed out of an aeroplane and you feel the sense of alarm, fear. You feel the freezing wind around you but you haven't gone splat yet. And, on the other hand no parachute is opened. No sense of "ah this is a normal event"… There's not that sense - at least not in me. But there is that impulse to make it such and I see it all around me. I see it on television. I see it in the paper.
What I would call normalisation.
Ian Katz: And has that happened?
David Remnick: You see it all over... I understand the impulse. It's a very human impulse always to normalise the situation so that you're not in a state of constant alarm or fear or sadness or agitation.
Ian Katz: But there are a lot of people who will share a lot of your political instincts who would say actually that's a reasonable reaction because in the end this is a country with great constitutional checks and balances, it has a huge state apparatus. They will be all kinds of tempering factors - for all we know Donald Trump will be on the golf course while other people get on with running the country. Isn't that a reasonable assumption to make?
David Remnick: It's possible. It's possible. And all I can think of is that I have my part to play. I have my part to play as a journalist, and to publish fact, to investigate deeply, to speak the truth as we see it, to check facts, to live in a fact-based world - which not all journalism does. It never did, and now it's even more chaotic and bizarre, and a lot of what's entering into the world of political discourse - not least the Trump world - is this notion of non-fact based news. So much so, that the other day there was an attack on a ordinary pizza shop in Washington that had its origins in fake news and a conspiracy theory endorsed by the son of the national security adviser... And Trump himself has trafficked in these conspiracy theories whether it's about the Chinese and global warming or about any number of other things.
Ian Katz: But is there a problem that if you hoist your flag - as you did effectively on the night of the election - that actually when you do this really important accountability reporting you're talking about and you call the government out on lies and you deliver this crucially important fact-based reporting, that actually you are dismissible by the other half of America, because you've shown your colours.
David Remnick: My colours were never concealed. I don't believe in that business - this old 1950s notion of the New York Times, much less the New Yorker - that it was objective, somehow like a science experiment. That scientific method was involved in journalism, I think is a fantasy... What I think is achievable is checking facts. What I think is possible is to have fair argument. What I don't think is possible is to have some fake objectivity - in which on the one side we have 99% of the scientists say... You know on the one hand on the other hand… That's bad journalism. It does the world no good.
Ian Katz: But you've got a problem in this country which is that there is no place, there is no media organisation, platform, which even a plurality of the country can agree to trust.
David Remnick: If you think that French state television or the BBC in England is somehow a common narrative of the country, I think you're fooling yourself. I bet you there are a lot of people, the people in the north of England, who think the BBC is a bunch of lefties.
Ian Katz: Let me ask you a slightly different question about how you do accountability journalism in a post-Trump world, because there used to be a basic set of assumptions about accountability journalism - if you revealed something shocking about a public figure, if you revealed that they have behaved in an extremely contradictory or hypocritical way, it had some impact. And you've now arrived in a world where Donald Trump has survived dozens, maybe hundreds, of the kind of stories that would have killed off a conventional politician.
David Remnick: He has. For a couple of reasons - one because he's extremely skilful. Another because there are so many of them that they seem to come almost at a professional wrestling rate.
Ian Katz: Sort of inflation?
David Remnick: Yeah. But I think to then give up and throw up your hands and walk away and say "Well he's impenetrable, he's Superman" is a terrible abdication and stupid and I don't believe it will last forever.
Ian Katz: So you carry on?
David Remnick: You have to. You must. And at the same time you must also write about, exactly what you're talking about - this other realm of media that's popped up in the age of the internet, in the age of four kids in Macedonia creating fake news channels so they get lots of clicks and it's all anti-Hillary stuff. You must report on it and eventually you'll get through.
I want to remind you of one thing, as dramatic as the Trump victory is - and as much as I'm not denying it, I'm not living in fairyland - Hillary Clinton won the most votes by a substantial margin. We just happened to have this 18th Century antediluvian electoral college system in which my vote sitting here in New York is worth less than my brothers and sisters in Wyoming and that's going to be very hard to overturn. And do you know who was against the electoral college system? Donald Trump.
Ian Katz: You talked a little bit about this being part of an international tide of illiberalism. There are lots of glib things said about the rise of populism. What do you think is going on? What is this tide actually about?
David Remnick: Well let's put it on a human basis in the United States, and I say this with all sympathy. Let's say you were a factory worker in Michigan or in Louisiana and you were making $80,000 a year and you got pretty decent benefits and you could conceivably send your kids to college and there was a certain sense of well-being and upward mobility.
If your factory shut down, you are now, if you're lucky, bagging groceries at Walmart - $25,000 a year and your kids are not going to go to college. And opioids have come to town and they're really cheap. And your life looks a lot more hopeless and you're angry - these currents have been around for a lot longer than Donald Trump. Donald Trump, in a way that I found deeply pernicious, was able to channel them. Now at the same time by the way, let's not forget that employment at the beginning of the Obama administration was in horrendous shape. We were on the brink of a depression, a real depression. Now the employment picture is better than it has been in a dozen years at least.
Ian Katz: The economy is growing.
David Remnick: The economy is growing… So a lot of this is demographic anxiety that we're seeing… There's going to come a point very, very soon in this country where the demographics are going to be that white people, classically defined, will not be in the majority. And let's please not forget that all this anxiety is not unmarked by the fact we are now following eight years of an African-American president.
Ian Katz: These are specific American factors that you are talking about. What is the threat that joins what you saw in this election with elsewhere?
David Remnick: Demographics, globalisation, deindustrialisation, the future of work being very anxious. Look, soon we're going to have grocery stores where you don't need checkout counters.
Ian Katz: We have those!
David Remnick: Yeah, well you're way more advanced. Soon we're going to be in a world of driverless cars. You know what the number one job for men in this country is? Driving stuff, trucks, cabs, buses. What happens to them? Does Donald Trump have an answer for this?
Or is he going to shove driverless cars back? We're going to become pre-modern? In other words, are the answers to all these things to pretend as if we can return to 1957? I doubt that's the case. But the anxieties that grow out of these things are not just anxieties, they're very real circumstances and they have political implications, and one of the most dramatic has been the victory of Donald Trump. It's not the only one.
Ian Katz: And in that piece that you wrote in light of the election, you said we're not heading for fascism because this country won't allow it. But the conditions are there, you said - this may be how this starts.
David Remnick: I think a lot of countries have had the circumstance of believing it could never happen here, and it happened slowly, slowly and then all at once. And part of my alarmism, if you want to call it that, was to, in my own small way, be part of a sounding of an alarm, and a self-awareness that we're not going to repeat history.
I don't think anybody thinks that a funny man is going to come out with a little moustache and an armband, with people marching in an odd way. No, we have a reality television billionaire who's adopted certain ideological and characterological things that are not for the better of this country, in my view. And taken to its logical conclusion, yeah I think it's a form of American authoritarianism at stake. And I think that's an alarm worth sounding.
Ian Katz: David Remnick, thank you.
David Remnick: Thank you.

Ghoncheh Ghavami, 25, was found guilty of spreading anti-regime propaganda, lawyer Alizadeh Tabatabaie said.
Iran banned women from volleyball games in 2012, extending a long-standing ban on football matches.
The Iranian authorities have argued that women need protection from the lewd behaviour of male fans.
Britain's Foreign Office said it was concerned about the sentence.
"We have concerns about the grounds for this prosecution, due process during the trial, and Miss Ghavami's treatment whilst in custody," it said in a statement.
Amnesty International has described Ms Ghavami, who is from Shepherd's Bush in west London, as a prisoner of conscience, and called for her immediate release. More than 700,000 people have signed an online petition urging the authorities to free her.
The graduate of the University of London's School of African and Oriental Studies was part of a group of women who tried to watch Iran play Italy in a match on 20 June.
The women were arrested and allegedly beaten before being freed.
Ms Ghavami was rearrested later and subsequently put on trial. She launched a hunger strike in October after being held in isolation cells.
It will give Sky half a million customers who use the O2 and BE brands for their home phone or broadband.
It will pay an initial ??180m to Telefonica, with up to another ??20m being paid once the customers have been switched to Sky.
Sky said the transaction would make it the second biggest UK broadband provider.
Telefonica said the deal would allow it to concentrate on providing better mobile services, including rolling out 4G.
Source: ISP Review
Sky has taken on 4.2 million broadband customers since launching the service in 2006.
The deal will allow Sky to leapfrog Virgin Media and close the gap on the number one provider: BT.
If it is cleared by regulators the deal should be completed in April.
"Sky has been the UK's fastest-growing broadband and telephony provider since we entered the market six years ago," said BSkyB chief executive Jeremy Darroch.
"The acquisition of Telefonica UK's consumer broadband and fixed-line telephony business will help us accelerate this growth."
In a debate about the Olympic legacy, shadow culture secretary Chris Bryant highlighted the cost of the conversion and called it a "fiasco".
The cost of transforming the venue into a stadium ready for football has reached £272m.
Conservative MP and London Mayor Boris Johnson pointed the finger at Labour.
Of the £272m total transformation costs, £15m is being provided by West Ham United football club, who are occupying it from next season, with £1m coming from UK Athletics.
Mr Bryant told MPs the total spend on the venue would reach £700m, more per spectator than Wembley stadium, and more over budget than the total cost of converting the 2002 Commonwealth Games venue for use by Manchester City.
"This has the feel of a fiasco cooked up somewhere between the Mayor's Office, DCMS (Departure for Culture, Media and Sport) and the Treasury," he said.
"Which is why, in the interests of transparency, I urge the government to publish the full details of West Ham's secret deal as a matter of urgency."
Mr Johnson said "it was indeed" a mess that had been "cooked up", but said the former Labour mayor and then Labour government had been responsible.
"It was the Treasury under Alistair Darling and Gordon Brown who decided to go ahead with a stadium that was completely unsuitable for the purpose," he added.
Culture Secretary John Whittingdale said there were "good reasons" why full details of the arrangement with West Ham could not be published, saying things such as the terms of the rent should be confidential, as to publicise them could jeopardise future negotiations with possible tenants.
The parties also clashed over the sporting legacy left by the 2012 games, with Labour claiming participation had dropped in the following years in many parts of the country.
Mr Bryant accused the government of "an own goal, a dropped baton, a belly flop".
Mr Whittingdale criticised his "synthetic outrage" and said the London games had left an "amazing legacy".
"We were always clear that legacy was at the heart of our preparation" he said, saying strong progress had been made in terms of the regeneration of east London and increased sporting participation. | Boston Dynamics' latest robot appears to be designed to help in the kitchen.

It is a source of status and wealth, with qualification alone worth around £30m, but the competitive challenge is also significantly greater.
The Scottish champions are likely to be in pot four of Thursday's draw and in football and financial terms, the strengths of teams from Spain, England, Germany, Italy, Portugal, France, Russia, Switzerland and Ukraine are clear enough.
History also emphasises the stark task Celtic face, though.
The champions route was introduced to the qualifying rounds in season 2009-10, essentially to make the group stage more accessible to the league winners from smaller nations.
Champions would face each other in the final play-off round, instead of meeting third or fourth-placed teams from the larger, wealthier leagues.
Odds are stacked against the teams that qualify through the champions route, since the group stage is populated by clubs that either regularly appear in the Champions League or are well backed financially, or both. Even so, the statistics are daunting.
Since 2009-10, 35 teams have qualified through the champions route (10 of them making their first appearance in the group stage), with 25 going on to finish bottom of their group. A further six finished second bottom, while only four managed to reach the knock-out stages.
Of the four that made it out of the group stage, APOEL are the only side to win their round of 16 tie, beating Lyon in February 2012 then being knocked out in the quarter-finals 8-2 on aggregate by Real Madrid.
Celtic's ambitions do not merely lie in reaching the group stage and there is room for optimism. They are, after all, the last club to progress through the champions route and then reach the knock-out stage.
In 2012-13, Neil Lennon's side eliminated play-off opponents Helsingborg, then defeated Barcelona and Spartak Moscow during the group stage on their way to finishing second behind Barca. They were drawn against Juventus in the round of 16 but lost that tie 5-0 on aggregate.
The competition has become more fraught for champions route clubs over time, though, with the 10 teams that qualified during the last two seasons all finishing bottom of their respective groups. Between them, those 10 teams played 60 group stage games and won only six.
The format of the Champions League is under review. Clubs discussing change are driven by different motives, but the loudest voices around the table will not be those from the smaller nations in Europe.
Money is at the root of potential restructuring. The leading Italian, Spanish and French clubs are concerned by the wealth generated in England's Premier League, principally by its television deals, and talks have centred on raising the value of the commercial contracts of the Champions League.
Under the previous Uefa president, Michel Platini - who instigated the champions route - the competition was made more accessible to clubs outside the major leagues.
The view amongst some of the elite clubs, though, is that a more accessible competition is less commercially attractive, with the poor viewing figures for a group stage tie between Real Madrid and BATE Borisov in 2008-09 often cited.
The European Club Association is holding a board meeting in Monaco on Thursday, where the Champions League draw is being held, followed by a meeting of the Uefa Club Competitions Committee. The format of the Champions League from 2018-21 is at the top of the agenda, while commercial deals will also be signed.
The ECA will finalise proposals for their general assembly on 5-6 September, before providing their consultation to Uefa's extraordinary congress on 14-15 September, when Platini's successor will be appointed.
The format of the Champions League for 2018-21 will be formalised in December.
Several options are being considered, including amendments to the coefficient qualification formula to ensure more of the leading clubs from the elite five European nations qualify.
Other potential options being discussed are an enhanced league structure so there are more games considered attractive to global TV audiences - since one of the main drivers is pushing up the price of the TV rights - but also changing the group format so that the leading 16 teams enter after it.
For now, though, Celtic's focus is on the challenge of trying to progress from the group stage. | Celtic will feel empowered by their return to the group stage of the Champions League. | 37,176,379 | 902 | 17 | false |
But first he's going to try it out on the world's political leaders. Not those of the United States, Japan, India or much of the European Union. They've declined the invitation.
But this weekend Mr Xi is gathering all the presidents and prime ministers he can muster in Beijing, hoping to inspire them with a vision about China as a force for good in the world.
Xi Jinping came to power five years ago with a determination that China should stop hiding its light under a bushel. Instead of creeping up timidly on the world order, he felt it should walk tall as a mighty and ancient civilisation which had gone from marginal economic player to the world's biggest trading nation in less than four decades.
"The relationship between China and the rest of the world is undergoing historic changes. Tell China stories well," he urged the nation's media, diplomats and think tanks, adding that they must present China as a builder of world peace and contributor to global development.
This weekend he himself takes the stage as storyteller in chief at Beijing's Belt and Road Forum. It helps that there is currently no competing global narrative from the United States or the European Union, as President Trump turns inward to "Make America Great Again" and the EU struggles with Brexit and a slew of other challenges.
China's underlying narrative is well known to all Mr Xi's guests. Economic transformation and breakneck growth have returned it to its traditional position at the centre of the East Asian economy.
And now Mr Xi wants to use Chinese money and construction might to rebuild much of Eurasia's infrastructure of ports, roads and rails and put China at its heart. A giant exercise in joining the dots whose buzzword is connectivity.
Critics in Washington, Tokyo and New Delhi observe that some of the biggest belt and road projects seem to be for strategically significant assets. Like the oil and gas pipelines across Central Asia, and the Indian Ocean ports in Pakistan and Sri Lanka which might serve military as well as commercial uses.
Many observers see an obvious geopolitical agenda to the belt and road initiative, but in a suspicious and prickly neighbourhood China firmly denies it. To make the plan less threatening, it frames it as a revival of the ancient Silk Road whose camel caravans carried Chinese goods west across Asia more than 1,000 years ago.
The aim is a soft-power message of a China which is mighty but peaceful, delivering what it can to the world in exchanges of mutual benefit. But the belt and road is much more ambitious than a camel caravan.
By land and by sea, through transport networks, telecoms, energy pipelines and industrial hubs, it promises to integrate more than 60 countries and 60% of the world's population.
And for domestic Chinese audiences, the story of the belt and road is told with a different emphasis, focusing less on the wins for foreigners and more on opportunities for China's impoverished west and assisting China's push up the value chain into industries like high speed rail and nuclear power.
There's even a narrative aimed at foreign children. Mr Xi may be the headline act on stage this weekend but in the scramble to offer the warm up, the state-owned China Daily newspaper is running online videos of an American father telling his daughter bedtime stories about the belt and road as "China's idea which belongs to the world".
And in a catchy music video, ukulele strumming multi-ethnic children surrounded by cut-out camels sing the praises of the belt and road.
"We're paving new roads, building more ports, finding new options with friends of all sorts, It's a culture exchange, we trade in our wealth, we connect with our hearts, it strengthens our health," it goes.
Mr Xi has been telling the belt and road story for four years now. Why gather the world's decision makers in Beijing for a grand rendition now?
One short answer is that he needs to drum up growth. China's domestic economy is slowing and exporting Chinese construction capacity to the belt and road would help boost the domestic economy in the short and medium term.
If even some of the infrastructure projects succeed, they might in turn contribute to growth in the long term by spurring demand from China's neighbours.
But a more personal reason for the timing is Mr Xi's own political cycle. In the one-party state, being Communist Party leader is more important than being president and this year China will hold a vital Party Congress.
Hosting the world this weekend burnishes Xi Jinping's aura of invincibility by reminding his party and public that he is increasing China's clout on the international stage.
A third reason for the timing is the international picture. Many of America's friends and allies in the region were dismayed by Mr Trump's decision to walk away from the TPP trade agreement, an agreement which his predecessor had said was vital to the US setting the rules of the road in Asia rather than letting China set them.
Mr Xi's new push for the belt and road initiative is the same kind of canny political opportunism that spurred his defence of globalisation at the Davos forum in January.
So China's president has been lucky in his timing and bold in seizing the stage. And it will certainly look to his guests as if he usually gets what he wants. No country puts on a grand spectacle of purpose and progress quite like China does.
This weekend Beijing's sky will be blue. Smog, traffic snarl and ghost towns littered with white elephant infrastructure will be safely far from view.
This is the show and tell of Xi Jinping's story… China the can-do master builder inspiring awe in all beholders and giving hope that what China has achieved at home it might replicate elsewhere.
But the truth is that Mr Xi's will works as an organising principle only for some of the people some of the time, and usually only for a very small number of highly specific objectives. Even in Beijing, the sky is not always blue, the traffic is often snarled and resources are often misallocated.
How much more is this true beyond the glittering capital. China is an economy with a perilous debt overhang precisely because its investors are just as fallible as those of other countries.
Yes, on the right project and for the right price, Chinese money and Chinese master builders can work infrastructure wonders. But that was always the case. The belt and road is an important initiative, but one of indeterminate boundaries, duration and outcome.
Mr Xi's guests should not make the mistake of thinking all Chinese players will do his bidding and all bedtime stories will come true.

The winning goal came from Arkadiusz Milik, who scored early in the second half.
The next group stage match for Northern Ireland will be against Ukraine, who they'll play on Thursday.
Newsround caught up with fans to hear their reactions.
"All of my films capture street life and are shot clandestinely to a certain degree, but using iPhones on this one helped to even a greater extent," says Sean Baker, director of Tangerine, a breakout hit at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
"It led to a lot of freedom and experimentation. If you had seen us shooting across Santa Monica Boulevard, you would not know we were a professional shoot, except for perhaps our sound gear. "
Instead of using "dolly shots" - with a camera moving on a track - Baker filmed street scenes while riding his bicycle.
UK audiences can see Tangerine when it is released in selected UK cities on Friday alongside big studio offerings such as Steve Jobs, starring Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet, and The Lady with the Van, with Dame Maggie Smith.
Tangerine, by contrast, features acting newcomers Mya Taylor and Kitana Kiki Rodriguez as trans sex workers on a Christmas Eve odyssey through the streets of LA.
Baker admits he is "pleasantly surprised" at the "universal love" the film has received since its Sundance world premiere in January 2015.
"It's the wonderful personas of the two lead characters who are really pulling audiences in," he says.
"Mya introduced me to Kiki. When I saw the two of them together, I immediately thought 'dynamic duo' - we have to figure out how to get these two on to the big screen."
Inspired by a true story told to him by the actresses, Baker shot the film in the Hollywood neighbourhood where he lived - using three iPhone 5s fitted with special lenses. He treated the footage in post-production to give it a vivid, cinematic sheen.
Sean Baker's tips for filming on a phone
1. Sound quality. If you're going to shoot a feature film on an iPhone, take your sound seriously. Don't skimp on the sound, because that's the first sign of an amateur.
2. Practise. Find the right tools and apps that will help you accomplish what you want. In the last year and a half, tech has advanced to a point where we don't need stabilisers any more - they are all built in to the iPhone 6. I'm jealous of anybody who is shooting stuff today.
3. Take it seriously. Accept it and embrace it and find the benefits that can come from it. I'm sure there are millions of benefits that we didn't even find on our 23 days of filming in 2014. People can use this as tool to experiment and to find different ways of telling stories.
The film's multiple storylines - which also involve a cheating pimp and an Armenian cab driver - converge in a showdown at an all-night doughnut shop.
Because the budget didn't stretch to hiring out the shop for exclusive use, Baker and his cast shot their scenes while the shop was open.
"We had to work round real customers," Baker says. "It actually ended up working in our our favour because it looks a working shop - which it was."
"It could be annoying at times, but it worked," says Mya Taylor.
The actress and singer says she hopes the film will highlight issues affecting the trans community.
"It's hard for us to get a regular job as people automatically discriminate against us," she says.
"Whether you look completely like a girl or not, if they know that you're trans they just don't hire you. I don't have to worry about a regular job any more, but I personally went through that."
Baker regards Tangerine as "one of a million stories" that can be told about the trans communities.
"I hope that films like this that appeal to a greater audience will raise awareness - and then awareness will lead to acceptance," he says.
Taylor says there were two rules she laid down to Baker before filming started.
She says: "I wanted this story to be brutally real and honest and I wanted it to be funny - and he nailed it."
Tangerine is released in the UK on Friday, 13 November
More than 100 people are needed for the project running between June and August.
They will be asked to hang up sticky traps to catch midges and submit their results for analysis.
The forecast's Dr Alison Blackwell said she hoped it would be possible monitor a wide range of habitats across the country.
She said the forecast combined current and historical biting midge population data with weather forecast information to provide five-day forecasts for key midge hot spots across Scotland.
"However, midge populations can vary significantly over a very localised scale and this new innovation should help provide a clearer picture of what is happening on a day-to-day basis," she said.
The hope is that should make the forecast more accurate.
Midgies are officially known by their scientific name Culicoides impunctatus, but people surrounded by a swarm of them on a still summer's day tend to use much shorter, much harsher names.
It might help to cope if you remember that both as larvae in the soil and as flying adults they play an important role in the ecosystem - working alongside earthworms, and as food for birds.
It's been cold so far this year so midge numbers are low. But the relatively mild winter means many will have survived.
So numbers will explode once the weather warms up.
The traps, along with computer software to calculate the number of midges shown in photographs submitted by the volunteers, will be paid for from a £22,441 grant by Innovate UK to Dundee-based APS Biocontrol.
The system could be developed in the future to alert farmers to possible risks from midge-transmitted diseases that affect livestock, including bluetongue virus and Schmallenberg virus.
Dr Blackwell said: "Ideally we would like to involve a mix of areas, including those popular with tourists.
"We are also keen to hear from the farming community, given the potential impact of biting midges on livestock."
People interested in volunteering can email [email protected] for further information.
It is claimed the forecast, which is now in its 11th year, is accessed by over 50,000 people a year either online, or via a smart phone app.
Chinese people both in the country and abroad have contacted the BBC with their reactions to the latest developments.
I am a senior high school student from China. I think it's a good news for most of us. At primary school most of my classmates - including me - were only children and many of us wanted to have a sibling.
My cousin was a second child, and my aunt and uncle were heavily fined. But I think the one-child policy was quite effective and benefited China in the past few decades. In my grandparents' generation, they usually had big families with around five to 10 kids, some might be more than that.
Nowadays most of the people in China would prefer to have between one and three kids - except for some rural areas. Because of the cost of living and raising a child is higher than before, people would not want to have too many kids. So I think it's the right time to change this policy.
I'm a supporter of the one-child policy but now our country has an ageing population problem. At the same time, our population is still quite large. It's a really difficult decision.
Great news! I am a Chinese national married to an English man. I am an only child myself. My parents loved kids but they could only have me because of the threat of losing their jobs if they had more.
I felt lonely growing up by myself. My parents tried their best by having my cousins over and sending me to my cousins for a day but I always wished I had sisters and brothers.
Now my parents are over 50 and my grandparents are living with them. I want to be able to help my parents too but it will be hard to make them move all the way to the UK and give up their life and friends in China.
My husband is very understanding of the Chinese culture and we are working hard now to save money to begin our own family. If we are blessed, I will definitely have more than one child.
This is a good news for us. My husband and I have not had a baby even though we are already over 30. We are considering having babies abroad rather than in China. Anyway, it is good news, especially for couples like us.
It's good news to me - a middle school teacher - who has always dreamed of having a second child.
I'm a college student from China. I'm an only child and my parents will not have another child. This is because they are in their fifties and the cost of raising a child is too high. This is a highly anticipated result. The one-child policy is unpopular in rural areas where preference to a male child is widespread. This should be abolished. I am glad to hear the news.
This is good news for me and many city dwellers. I have been considering a second child for years but haven't been able to because of the policy restriction. Now the obstacle is removed, it's time to carry on.
Both of my children were born in China to a Chinese mother. My son was given his citizenship documents - but it wasn't so straightforward for baby number two.
According to the one-child policy, she could not get the same documents. This meant she would not be able to attend a state school or move easily from city to city. Luckily, as the child of a British expat she got British citizenship and so could attend an international school.
I have seen how parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents all dote on a single child. Not only is there enormous pressure on these only children to do well in their school exams, but according to tradition they are also expected to look after their parents when they grow old.
So a two-child policy seems to me a perfect compromise. It still aims to keep the population at a stable size, but now the next generation will grow up with a playmate to share with (and fight with!).
"This policy can only satisfy the super rich and super poor," because "the rich do not worry [financially] about raising more than one child" and "the poor have more children to carry out labour".
"I am grateful to the party for liberalizing the two-child policy; I can finally have a little sister."

Theresa May had made the call after his predecessor Sir Paul Stephenson, and his assistant John Yates, quit amid criticism of the Met's role in the phone-hacking scandal.
And the former Merseyside Police chief was well-placed to take on the job of the UK's top police officer, having been called on to act as the Met's deputy commissioner in the wake of the resignations.
During five years on Merseyside to 2009, Mr Hogan-Howe developed a high profile via regular web chats and broadcasts, appearances on local radio phone-ins and horseback rides through the city centre.
And he earned admirers for his tough approach to anti-social behaviour and stance on gun crime in the wake of the fatal shooting of 11-year-old Rhys Jones.
Born in Sheffield, the football enthusiast's rise through the ranks began with South Yorkshire Police in 1979.
He worked as a traffic officer, detective and district commander, gaining an MA in law from Oxford University and a diploma in applied criminology from Cambridge University along the way.
In 1997 he moved to Merseyside police and four years later joined the Met as an assistant commissioner, before returning to Liverpool in 2004.
1979: South Yorkshire Police
1997: Assistant Chief Constable, Merseyside
2001: Assistant Commissioner, Metropolitan Police
2004: Chief Constable of Merseyside
2009: HM Inspectorate of Constabulary
Radio 4's Profile of Bernard Hogan-Howe
During that time, crime dropped by a third, and the force claims anti-social behaviour rates were cut in half through a zero-tolerance approach.
He hit the headlines in 2006 for sprinting after a suspected drink-driver after spotting him from his chauffeur-driven car.
Mr Hogan-Howe was the man in charge in 2007, when 11-year-old Rhys Jones was shot dead as he walked home from football practice.
The killing horrified the nation and there were grumblings from some in the media when there was no immediate arrest.
But Mr Hogan-Howe got his man in December 2008 when Sean Mercer, 18, was jailed for life and several members of his gang were also locked up.
That year, he accused some judges of being lenient on gun crime by overlooking mandatory five-year sentences for possession of a firearm.
He also called for those shielding gun criminals from police to be evicted from homes.
Mr Hogan-Howe set up the specialist Matrix team to tackle gun crime - the first of its kind outside London
The unit's former head, Det Supt Geoff Sloane, said: "When he came he had a clear philosophy. It was to tackle organised crime, gang-related crime but also to make sure victims were properly supported, which was backed up by strong neighbourhood policing."
Before leaving Merseyside, he applied to succeed Sir Hugh Orde as chief constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
However, he withdrew from the application process to take up a role with Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabularies.
He was called back to the Met in July to support Acting Commissioner Tim Godwin - later a rival for the top job - in bringing stability to the force after Sir Paul Stephenson's resignation.
The home secretary and London Mayor Boris Johnson said they were "of one mind" in their decision to appoint Mr Hogan-Howe.
Mrs May cited his "excellent track-record" in reducing crime had proven the deciding factor.
PSG dominated this last-16 first-leg tie throughout and took the lead through Di Maria's curled free-kick.
Julian Draxler added a second with an angled drive before Di Maria curled an effort into the top corner.
Edinson Cavani then sealed a famous win with a powerful fourth.
A lacklustre Barcelona - with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar largely anonymous - did not produce an effort of note until seven minutes before the end when Samuel Umtiti headed on to the post.
The defeat leaves Luis Enrique's side with an almighty task to stay in the competition when they host PSG in the return leg on 8 March.
No side has managed to overturn a four-goal first-leg deficit in the Champions League.
Barcelona breezed into the knockout stage by topping Group C, winning five of the six games they played.
Their one defeat was also the only time they conceded three goals in a group-stage game, when they lost 3-1 at Manchester City.
At least in that match they managed to score - Messi putting them ahead at Etihad Stadium - but at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday they barely troubled Kevin Trapp in the PSG goal.
The visitors regularly squandered possession and looked lethargic throughout. When they have not been at their best in the past, their star players have stepped up. But on this occasion they offered nothing.
Messi, so often capable of creating something from nothing, made uncharacteristic mistakes and was at fault for PSG's second when he lost the ball to Draxler, who then played a one-two with Marco Verratti to slice through a static defence and put the French side in control.
It was one of the worst Barcelona performances in recent memory but PSG were also at their absolute best and, in truth, could have won by an even bigger margin.
They finished the game with 16 shots on goal, 10 of those on target.
PSG have long been the dominant force in French football, winning their domestic league title every season since 2013, but they are yet to transfer that form into Europe.
They have never progressed beyond the quarter-finals but dominant wins home and away against Chelsea at this stage of the competition last year suggested they had finally joined the continent's elite, only for them to then lose against Manchester City.
Unai Emery, PSG's Spanish manager, had faced Barcelona 23 times before in his coaching career and won just once.
But Emery has form in Europe. He led Sevilla to three successive Europa League titles from 2014, getting the best of the players at his disposal and that is proving to be the case at PSG.
Cavani now has 34 goals in 32 matches while Di Maria is producing consistently what he only managed in flashes at Manchester United. Draxler, who underperformed at Wolfsburg, has excelled since his January move to the French capital.
All three were key to Barcelona's downfall and this could prove to be a watershed moment for both PSG and Emery.
"I think this makes PSG a threat in the competition," former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand told BT Sport.
"Mentally they will go on again and they will believe now they are capable of winning this tournament by beating one of the best teams."
Barcelona were one of the favourites to win the Champions League at the start of the season but will now need to produce one of the greatest comebacks in football to stay in the competition.
They are more than capable of scoring goals for fun at the Nou Camp, having hit three or more in six of their previous seven games.
Borussia Monchengladbach were the last side to visit Barcelona in the Champions League and they lost 4-0 in December.
But PSG possess much more quality, with Di Maria and Cavani more than capable of scoring an away goal that would surely put the tie beyond Barcelona.
It is sure to be one of the toughest tests of Enrique's Barcelona career to date.

Lady Smith said she was determined to find out "what happened, where, how and why".
The inquiry will examine historical allegations of child abuse in Scotland.
It is expected to last four years, and will look at the extent of abuse of children in care and identify any systemic failures.
Lady Smith replaced Susan O'Brien QC as chairwoman of the inquiry after she quit the post in July citing government interference.
A second member of the three-person panel, Prof Michael Lamb, also resigned over similar concerns.
Lady Smith said: "I come to this role with 15 years of experience as a judge of the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary. I am personally committed to it and will discharge my duties independently, thoroughly and to the best of my ability.
"This independent inquiry was established in October 2015 for purposes which include the need to raise public awareness of the fact of children in residential care having been abused, to acknowledge and record the suffering of those children, to carry out investigations and to make recommendations.
"It will investigate how children were failed, what went so badly wrong, identify what makes residential care safe for a child and make recommendations about what we consider is required to ensure that now, and in the future, the welfare of children is truly paramount and children are properly protected. My fellow panel member, Glenn Houston, and I are committed to delivering a thorough and conscientious response to its remit."
Lady Smith said restriction orders to protect the anonymity of witnesses and victims had been issued "where appropriate".
She added that the wide-ranging inquiry would look at the abuse of children in residential care in Scotland "over a period from within the living memory of anyone who suffered such abuse up to the end of 2014".
The judge said: "The inquiry will thus reach far back in time and has already gathered numerous accounts of abuse that happened many years ago. That work continues. It does so in private sessions which are taking place throughout the UK.
"We are determined to find out what happened, where, how and why, what was the conduct and what were the failings of institutions and others entrusted with the care and protection of children.
"I would encourage anyone who is able to provide information about such abuse or about the places where it occurred or about those responsible for them, whether as victim, witness or otherwise, to come forward. Talk to us. We want to hear from you."
Paediatric care at Northallerton's Friarage Hospital could be moved to James Cook University Hospital, 22 miles (35km) away, in Middlesbrough.
Protesters marched to the hospital after the rally at the county hall.
William Hague, the Conservative MP for Richmond, who has called for a rethink, addressed the crowd.
He said: "It's a really important hospital and I think people from outside the area don't realise the distances involved.
"Without this hospital those who live at the top of Wensleydale would have a round trip of over 100 miles to Middlesbrough and back to go to a maternity unit.
"Well that is too far, it would be one of the longest distances in England."
A report published in January by the National Clinical Advisory Team (NCAT) said the unit
was not sustainable.
It said the hospital provided a first-class service but in relation to paediatric services it expressed concerns about the hospital being able to maintain a workforce with the right skills.
It also said if children needed inpatient care they should be cared for in a unit which has a full range of services backed up by high dependency and intensive care facilities.
A scaling-back of maternity services was also included in the report's recommendations.
The NCAT report is being considered by the South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs both the Friarage and James Cook hospitals.
A public consultation process is under way.
A petition against the proposal has been signed by more than 10,000 people.
Sweetheart deals Starbucks had with the Netherlands and Fiat had with Luxembourg were state aid, European competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager said.
But the two countries disagreed with the Commission.
And Starbucks said it would appeal against the decision.
Further investigations into tax deals, including those covering Amazon and Apple, are continuing.
"Tax rulings that artificially reduce a company's tax burden are not in line with EU state aid rules. They are illegal. I hope that, with today's decisions, this message will be heard by member state governments and companies alike," Ms Vestager said.
"All companies, big or small, multinational or not, should pay their fair share of tax," she added.
Although "comfort letters" or tax rulings by governments are legal, the arrangements with Starbucks and Fiat Chrysler "do not reflect economic reality", the Commission said.
In particular, it said the firms used so-called "transfer pricing arrangements" between subsidiaries that let Starbucks shift profits abroad, and Fiat pay taxes on "underestimated profits".
The Commission said taxable profits for Fiat's Luxembourg unit could have been 20 times higher under normal market conditions.
"Our decisions today show that artificial and complex methods endorsed by tax rulings cannot mask the actual profits of a company, which must be properly and fully taxed," Ms Vestager said.
Fiat's Luxembourg unit paid "not even" €400,000 in corporate tax last year and Starbucks' Dutch subsidiary less than €600,000, she added.
Fiat's Luxembourg deal, which was brokered in 2012, was made when current European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker was prime minister of the country.
Mr Juncker came under pressure last year over claims that about 340 global companies were granted tax avoidance deals during his 18-year tenure in Luxembourg.
The Dutch government said it was "surprised" by the decision and that it was convinced its arrangement with Starbucks was in line with international standards.
A Starbucks spokesman said: "Starbucks shares the concerns expressed by the Netherlands government that there are significant errors in the decision, and we plan to appeal, since we followed the Dutch and OECD rules available to anyone."
The Luxembourg Ministry of Finance said the Commission had "used unprecedented criteria in establishing the alleged state aid".
"Luxembourg disagrees with the conclusions reached by the European Commission in the Fiat Finance and Trade case and reserves all its rights," it said.
The country "will use appropriate due diligence to analyse the decision of the Commission as well as its legal rationale," it added.
Fiat Chrysler denied receiving any illegal state aid from Luxembourg.
Poverty campaign organisation ActionAid said today's ruling was "just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to corporate tax breaks".
"ActionAid estimates that developing countries lose at least $138bn per year to special tax breaks," said Anders Dahlbeck, ActionAid's tax justice policy adviser.
"These sweetheart deals in Europe and developing countries are part of a race to the bottom on tax which hits the poorest hardest and leaves healthcare, schools and other key public services starved of resources," he said.
More than 25,000 people gathered on Magdalen Bridge to listen to the college choir and watch Morris dancers and other entertainments.
The event started at 06:00 BST. Oxford City Council said the celebrations were the largest ever.
Two men have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences, reports said.
Authorities said the men were "involved in recruiting, facilitating, and funding people to travel to Syria to engage in hostile activities".
Australia is working to stop people joining Middle East jihadist groups.
The two men, aged 21 and 31, were arrested at the iQraa Islamic Centre south of Brisbane.
Both would be charged with preparing for incursions into Syria, Australian reports said. The 21-year-old would be charged with recruiting fighters to join the conflict, while the 31-year-old would be charged with providing funds to militant group Jabhat al-Nusra.
The men were not suspected of planning attacks in Australia, a federal police spokesman said.
Witnesses said that police arrived early on Wednesday morning with a locksmith to access the centre, which sells books, gifts and clothing, according to Fairfax Media.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation said police also raided a gym in the same area.
It reported that one of the centre's founders is believed to be the brother of Abu Asma al Australi, who is suspected of being the first Australian suicide bomber to die in Syria.
But an iQraa employee denied that the Islamic centre and the two men were linked to terrorism.
He told ABC that the arrests happened because of the authorities' "paranoia" and security concerns for the G20 summit, due to be held in Brisbane in November.
A customer also told the AAP that the two men were "born and bred" Australians and the centre is "harmless".
Authorities have previously said that 100 or more people in Australia were "actively supporting" militant groups fighting in the Middle East.
The raid took place a day after the head of the Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation, David Irvine, said he was assessing whether to raise the threat level.
Australia has been at "medium" since the threat level system was introduced in 2003, according to the country's national security website.
"Medium" means an attack could occur. It is followed by "high", which means an attack is likely and is the second highest threat level.
Mr Irvine told the ABC that the threat had been building in Australia over the past year and he had an "elevated level of concern".
He said this was due to "the numbers of people we are now having to be concerned about in Australia, because of the influence of Syria and Iraq on young Australians both in terms of going to those places to fight, but also in terms of what they are doing here in Australia with a potential intent to attack".
Officials have said that at least 60 Australians are believed to be fighting with jihadist groups in Syria and northern Iraq, and 15 Australians have been killed so far from those conflicts including two suicide bombers.
Australia has moved to restrict citizens from travelling to certain areas to join militant groups, and is in the midst of installing counter-terrorism units and biometric screening at all international airports.
A secret rehearsal was arranged at Chequers for the then PM to "familiarise" herself with the vehicle.
Her newly released personal files cover 1986, when Michael Heseltine quit over the so-called Westland affair and the US launched bombing raids in Libya.
They have been published by the Thatcher Foundation.
The documents reveal careful planning behind the scenes to avoid anything going wrong with the Rover 800 photoshoot at Downing Street.
The PM's private secretary Mark Addison wrote to her: "You are test driving the new Rover on Thursday.
"The most straightforward way of arranging this would probably be for you to drive the car from the front door towards the bottom of Downing Street, reversing into the side road, and then driving back up the street to the front door.
"If you would like to handle the test drive in this way, you would need to feel fully confident about manoeuvring the car into the side road and back out again.
"The alternative would be to walk down to the car at the bottom of Downing Street and drive it back to the front door.
"Agree to the first option? Or prefer to keep it simple."
In another memo, Mr Addison told her the car was being towed, under cover, to Chequers for her to rehearse beforehand.
Chris Collins, from the Margaret Thatcher Archive Trust, said he believed Mrs Thatcher had seldom driven since 1975, leading to concern from officials.
"I think I'm reading between the lines but I'm reasonably confident that there was that worry, that there was this dark fear that she would crash into something, that it would all go horribly wrong, and after all she hadn't driven for many many years," he said.
The trust is overseeing the release of Mrs Thatcher's private files through the Churchill Archive Centre in Cambridge.
The files also reveal concerns that a blue, not a red, car should be supplied, but in the end the stunt passed without a hitch.
Things went less smoothly for the prime minister when she tripped over a manhole at the Conservative Party conference in Bournemouth.
In a letter to the mayor apologising for pulling out of a civic ball that evening, she said: "As you may have heard I tripped over one of Bournemouth's manholes this afternoon and my ankle didn't like it very much. Neither did the manhole!"
Other papers in the newly released batch include a letter - written but never sent - from Mrs Thatcher to the then defence secretary Michael Heseltine warning him to toe the line or give up office over the Westland affair.
The battle for control of British helicopter manufacturer Westland was one of the most divisive political rows of Mrs Thatcher's second term in office.
The letter, drafted three weeks before Mr Heseltine resigned over the row, tells him the government's view of the future of British helicopter manufacturer Westland is that it is "a matter for the company to decide", adding: "In this situation no minister should use his position to promote one commercial option in preference to another - so long as he remains in government."
A more minor helicopter-related exchange involved a request for Mrs Thatcher to use one to travel the short distance from Downing Street to the opening of the Broadgate development in the City of London.
In a hand-written note, the PM dismissed the "ridiculous" suggestion, saying it would be an "unwarrantable extravagance and I should be criticised severely".
The documents also cover the fallout from the US air strikes in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, for which Mrs Thatcher allowed the use of British airbases.
One note, before the PM was due to speak on the subject, said an "unusually large number of calls" had been received by Conservative Central Office expressing concern about the raids.
Another revealed a warning from a senior civil servant that Conservative Party chairman Norman Tebbit's "obsession" with attacking the BBC's coverage of the military strikes risked a repeat of the "Westland troubles".
It was a match low on chances, but the win moves United to within one point of Manchester City, who are fourth.
With the score goalless, Cameron Jerome had Norwich's best chance only for David de Gea to save his header.
A mistake by Sebastien Bassong allowed Wayne Rooney to race clear and find the supporting Juan Mata, who slotted in.
Defeat left Norwich second from bottom, four points behind Sunderland, who beat Chelsea 3-2, and three adrift of a Newcastle side who drew with relegated Aston Villa.
One more victory for Sunderland will secure their Premier League status and seal the fates of both Norwich and Newcastle.
For Manchester United, the prospect of playing in next season's Champions League remains achievable.
Manchester City host Arsenal on Sunday and anything other than victory for Manuel Pellegrini's side would put United's bid for a top-four finish in their own hands.
The visitors controlled the majority of the match, but their attacks lacked zip and imagination, a complaint often made this season by critics of Louis van Gaal's tactics.
United had more than 60% of possession in the first 20 minutes, but failed to muster a shot on target. By half-time, a tame long-distance strike from Jesse Lingard was their only effort on target, while Chris Smalling had headed over from three yards out.
The Red Devils ended the match having had more than 67% of possession but just two shots on target. It is unlikely West Ham's defence will be as generous as Norwich when Van Gaal's men visit on Tuesday.
Of further concern was Wayne Rooney's role. The captain was a peripheral figure for much of the first half - indeed the only visiting player to have fewer touches than him in the opening 45 minutes was Matteo Darmian, who was substituted after 12 minutes because of injury.
The England international did improve after the break, and it was his tenacity that allowed Mata to score a goal that could prove to be crucial to their Champions League hopes.
And it was a victory achieved despite Van Gaal having to make a late change to his line-up, moving Rooney up front and promoting Ander Herrera to midfield, after Anthony Martial was injured during the warm-up.
Cheered on by their vociferous supporters, Norwich began the match with energy. They were organised in defence and effective in pressing their visitors, but as the match progressed their players tired and their style of play became increasingly ineffective.
Scoring has been a problem for the Canaries throughout the season, which is why they are facing a return to the Championship, and so it proved again.
Had Jerome headed either side of De Gea from six yards, the brilliant Spaniard may not have been able to prevent the hosts from taking the lead, but the chance was squandered.
Alex Neil changed tactics in the 60th minute, bringing on joint-top scorer Dieumerci Mbokani to aid Jerome in a two-man attack, and while his side managed to loosen United's stranglehold they continued to be profligate, and were made to pay.
Mbokani mistimed a header from 12 yards and Gary O'Neil should have done better than to wildly swing the ball into the stands when Cameron Borthwick-Jackson headed the ball into his path.
They were missed opportunities made all the more galling when Bassong failed to clear near the edge of his box and Rooney nicked possession. The England captain held the ball up and fed the supporting Mata, who was allowed to run 30 yards unchallenged by the equally culpable Martin Olsson.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "I said to the boys, we have to win, there is no excuse. We have won and it was more than deserved. We keep the pressure on our competitors and I am a happy manager.

"They were also fighting and pressing and it makes it difficult. The second half we did much better because we kept the ball and had more than one chance.
"We have seen this team can manage injuries. Away games are difficult for us and we changed the results by winning here. I hope we can see something between Man City and Arsenal that helps us."

Norwich boss Alex Neil: "The players tried as hard as they could but they make a silly error and it costs us the game.
"We had a chance with Cameron Jerome's header, but there were not many chances in the game. We had good shape but we could not create as much as we would have liked.
"The best teams get the goal when they are on top and ride the pressure. We made an error and it costs us. It is going to be tough, we are relying on other teams but we have got two more games."
Norwich have two games remaining, at home to Watford on 11 May, followed by a trip to Everton's Goodison Park on the final day of the season. Manchester United visit West Ham on 10 May before hosting Bournemouth next Sunday.
Passenger capacity will be increased on train services between Cowdenbeath in Fife and Edinburgh Haymarket by 6,500.
An additional 33 buses will operate an enhanced park and ride service, using the Ferrytoll and Halbeath sites.
The 51-year-old bridge was closed at midnight on Thursday after a defect was found in the steelwork of the tower.
It will remain closed until the new year.
The crossing is a vital artery in Scotland's transport network and is normally used by more than 60,000 vehicles a day.
The announcement of additional trains and buses was made following a meeting of the Scottish government's resilience committee, chaired by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Scotland's Transport Minister Derek Mackay described the situation as a matter of "national significance".
Motorists travelling into Scotland are also to be encouraged to use routes in the west of the country to ease congestion around the bridge.
Ministers also said they would speak to businesses hit by the closure in the coming days to find out how they can help.
Mr Mackay said: "From Sunday, commuters will be able to access a dedicated website offering detailed information on these updated travel options.
"We will continue to monitor the situation closely and adapt our travel plan as required. While we are doing everything we can to ease the impact on travellers, we would urge people to do their bit by considering their travel plans in advance and making any possible contingencies.
"This could include being more flexible about your work times and locations if possible."
Mr Mackay added: "We also have made contact with the main business organisations in Scotland, local authorities and enterprise areas and are working together to examine the economic and business impact and identify any practical steps that can be taken to mitigate that as much as possible."
The Forth Road Bridge is scheduled to be replaced by a new crossing in about 12 months' time.
Once the new Queensferry Crossing opens, the old bridge will remain open to carry public transport, pedestrians and cyclists.
The 26-year-old centre-back played every minute of the Cherries' league campaign this season.
"It has always been my plan to stay here as long as possible, so to be given the chance to do that is really pleasing," he said.
Cook has made 231 appearances for the club since joining from Brighton in the summer of 2011.
"Myself and Bournemouth have been the perfect match," Cook added. "Since the manager came in, things have been forever moving upwards and that has matched my own ambitions."
MacGregor told colleagues he had made the "very difficult decision" to leave in December this year, stating he wanted to stop working full-time.
Since joining in 2002, MacGregor has been credited with reforming its one-time "stuffy" image to make it one of the world's most visited attractions.
He said the role had been the "greatest privilege of my professional life".
Major success stories under his watch have included its History of the World project, which attempted to tell the world's history in 100 objects. The project included a 100-part series on BBC Radio 4.
The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army exhibition in 2007 and Turner Prize-winner Grayson Perry's Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman in 2011 also drew in the crowds.
And overall, visitor numbers to the museum in central London have also risen from 4.6 million a year to 6.7 million since 2002.
Perhaps Neil MacGregor's greatest achievement as the boss of the British Museum has been transforming it from a slightly old-fashioned institution with a chilly welcome, into one of the world's most popular visitor attractions without feeling the need to dumb down.
In fact, his success stems from having the confidence to assume the public are not stupid, but are open-minded and intellectually curious.
As a leader he has been dynamic, innovative and popular, although I understand he was never particularly keen on the details. The task facing the trustees is to find a successor who can firstly consolidate MacGregor's achievements and build upon them.
It won't be easy.
Having made the decision to leave, the end of 2015 seemed "a good time to go", said MacGregor.
"The new building has been completed, so we at last have proper exhibition space, new conservation and scientific facilities, and first class accommodation for our growing research activities," he said.
"We have built strong partnerships with fellow museums across the UK, and are rapidly expanding our programme of loans and training around the world.
"The museum is now ready to embark on a new phase - deploying the collection to present different histories of the world.
"It is an exhilarating prospect, and it will start with the new Islamic Galleries and with plans for the future of the Old Reading Room."
MacGregor joined the British Museum from another major cultural institution, London's National Gallery.
When there, he oversaw the completion of the Sainsbury Wing and the refurbishment of the whole main display.
Although he will no longer be working full-time, MacGregor said he would be involved in a number of projects.
They include working with the BBC and the British Museum on a new Radio 4 series on faith and society.
He'll also be giving advice and guidance to the German Minister of Culture, Monika Grutters.
And in Mumbai, India, he'll be offering his expertise to the CSMVS Museum.
Prosecutors told the Old Bailey the men had acquired a gun and ammunition, and planned to buy an untraceable moped.
They researched potential west London locations online, the court heard.
Nathan Cuffy, 26, Nyall Hamlett, 25, Suhaib Majeed, 21, and Tarik Hassane, 22, from west London, deny conspiracy to murder and preparing terrorist acts.
Opening the case, prosecutor Brian Altman QC said police scuppered murderous plans borne out of a "warped ideology" when they arrested the men in the autumn of 2014.
He said Mr Hassane had used his iPad to search the Google Streetview photo-mapping service for Shepherd's Bush police station and the Parachute Regiment Territorial Army Barracks at White City.
It appeared medical student Mr Hassane and Mr Majeed were discussing the purchase of a moped that could not be traced back to them, as well as a garage to store the moped and their weapon, he added.
Mr Altman said: "The evidence points to this being a plot to kill - a plot to execute a policeman or a soldier or, as I say, even an ordinary member of the public - in one or more assassinations either involving a drive-by shooting or a shooting on foot and then a speedy escape by moped."
Mr Hassane was alleged to have been leading the plot and to have issued instructions to Mr Majeed, who was studying physics at King's College London at the time of his arrest, the court heard.
The jury was told police found four guns and ammunition in Mr Cuffy's bedroom and he has pleaded guilty to firearms offences. Mr Hamlett, said to be the alleged "middle man" who passed on a weapon to Mr Majeed, has admitted transferring the gun and ammunition.
When officers arrived at Mr Majeed's home, a gun, silencer and bullets were thrown out of his bedroom window, the court heard.
Prosecutors said there were believed to be more people involved in the plot who were not on trial.
The defendants were arrested in September 2014, except for Mr Hassane, who was studying in Sudan. Mr Altman alleged the evidence in the case suggested he was pressing on with the plot as a "lone wolf terrorist".
Mr Hassane had pledged his allegiance to the IS group and the plot received "important direct and authoritative encouragement" when the group's official spokesman issued a fatwa to kill disbelievers in the West, the prosecutor told the court.
The court heard that when Prime Minister David Cameron announced new counter-terrorism laws Mr Hassane wrote on a messaging service: "LOOOOOL David Cameron is getting himself ready for my turn up."
Police also found images on Mr Majeed's mobile phone of Mr Hassane apparently posing with a gun, and in one image he also held a book on Osama bin Laden, the jury was told.
The trial continues.
Chester's Kingsley James was sent off in the closing stages after clashing with home substitute Richard Brodie, who was booked before a late caution.

The inaugural worldwide day of celebration will be held on 11 July.
Culture, Tourism and Foreign Affairs Secretary Fiona Hyslop joined Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society chief executive Shona McCarthy to announced the plans.
The first Edinburgh fringe was in 1947 when groups arrived at the Edinburgh International Festival uninvited.
The performers were undeterred by not being on the official programme and staged their shows on the fringe of the main festival, leading to the movement's name.
Since then, the founding principle of open access has remained key and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe has inspired the creation of fringe events worldwide.
Ms McCarthy said: "We are thrilled to reveal the plans for the first-ever World Fringe Day.
"We can't wait to join with our sister fringes across the world to celebrate the wonder and joy of fringe festivals in this auspicious year.
"This is an incredible opportunity for fringe organisers, venues, participants and audiences to take part in a truly international celebration of creativity that will transcend national boundaries, demonstrating the power of arts and culture to bring people together.
"We hope as many people as possible will join us for a very special day of worldwide fringe fun as we celebrate 70 years of fringe and pay homage to Scotland as the birthplace of the fringe movement."
The Scottish government's Edinburgh Festivals Expo70 fund will give £100,000 to support World Fringe Day through Creative Scotland.
Ms Hyslop said: "World Fringe Day is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the global connections that Scotland has made through the arts.
"Edinburgh's festivals are world-renowned and it is remarkable to think that the fringe movement, that began here in 1947 with the founding of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, has developed into a worldwide network with fringes now taking place on every continent except Antarctica.
"The Scottish government is proud to support World Fringe Day through our Edinburgh Festivals Expo70 fund, acknowledging Scotland as the home of fringe and joining with the many other wonderful fringe festivals around the world for an international day of celebration."
Corbisiero, whose Saints contract expires in the summer, has struggled with injuries since 2012 and had an operation on his knee last week.
The 27-year-old has 20 Test caps for England and played twice for the British and Irish Lions on their successful tour of Australia in 2013.
"It was a tough decision to come to," said the loose-head prop.
"But I think it will be the best thing going forward for me.
"Being a rugby player is a 24/7 lifestyle. That is why when my contract is over I will be taking a break from that full-time commitment to relax."
US-born Corbisiero started his career at London Irish and made his England debut against Italy in the 2011 Six Nations.
He joined Northampton in 2013, but has been affected by knee and shoulder problems, and he missed this year's World Cup with a back injury.
"I would just like to reiterate I am fully committed to giving everything I have physically and mentally for Northampton Saints for the remainder of this season," he added.
Corbisiero told the Sunday Times the decision was "way more mental than physical".
The 54-year-old's contract is up for renewal and Italian media reports have linked him with a switch to Maranello.
Lowe told BBC Sport: "This is a fantastic team that has done an amazing job over the last three years to break all these records in the sport.
"I'm enjoying it more than I ever did in my career so far."
Lowe joined Mercedes at the start of 2013 and began work in June that year.
The 54-year-old Briton said he "would not deny" his contract as Mercedes executive director (technical) was up for renewal.
But when asked if Ferrari had contacted him, he replied: "No."
Asked if he would like to work for Ferrari, he added: "I can't answer that."
Ferrari team boss Maurizio Arrivabene has he is not chasing any big-name engineers and sources close to the team say they are not interested in Lowe.
However, Ferrari have failed to catch Mercedes over the past three seasons and a figure such as Lowe could help bridge the gap.
Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne has undertaken a major restructure of the team this year after a disappointing season that has yet to yield a win.
They split with technical director James Allison, a leading aerodynamics expert, in July and replaced him as chief technical officer with Mattia Binotto, whose expertise is in engine design.
Allison, meanwhile, has been talking to all the major teams about future work.
He is a on a year's gardening leave from Ferrari so could not start work for another team until next summer.
Senior insiders at other teams say they believe Allison has already reached an agreement to join Mercedes next year. But asked whether the 48-year-old Briton could join Mercedes, team boss Toto Wolff said he could not comment.
Regarding Lowe's future, Wolff said: "The silly season has gone from drivers to senior personnel. Paddy is a great guy, been part of our success and plays a very important role. It is clear people are discussing contracts and in the media is not the place to talk about it."
Allison is said to have turned down an offer to join Renault and is not going to either Williams or Red Bull, according to sources.
McLaren were keen on Allison in 2012-13 but sources close to the team say he will not join the team while Ron Dennis remains in charge and that they do not see at this stage how he could fit into their new technical structure, which has been modified by racing director Eric Boullier in the last 12 months.
The future of the company's chairman is in serious doubt after he was told by fellow board members his contract would not be renewed at the end of 2016.
Tom Pattison, 23, died after a crash landing at the Blaxhall Circuit on Sunday, 13 September.
The coroner's court heard his bike landed on its front wheel and he went over the handlebars.
His Honda 250 then landed on his chest. He died at the scene as a result of his injuries.
Mr Pattison, from Beccles, who had been taking part in a time trial at the Eastern Centre Solo Motocross Championships, was the only rider involved in the accident.
The crash happened at the jump known as the Table Top.
The inquest in Bury St Edmunds heard Mr Pattison had blood in his lungs and ambulance crews could not save his life.
Yvonne Blake, Suffolk assistant coroner, said the circuit had accreditation with motocross's governing body, the Auto Cycle Union.
There had only been one other death in Blaxhall's 50-year history when a marshal was killed, she said.
She recorded a narrative conclusion that he "died as a result of multiple injuries following a road traffic collision".
Mr Pattison was married to Rachel and they had a three-year-old daughter.
Mr Pattison's family and friends did not attend the inquest, but Ms Blake said they "understood the risks" inherent in motocross.
A memorial ride at his favourite track at Blythburgh, Suffolk, the weekend after his death was attended by 400 people, including 170 motorcyclists.
He spoke at a preview screening of the final episode of his adaptation of War and Peace, which was produced by BBC Cymru Wales.
The Cardiff-born writer, 79, said "almost everybody agrees" the BBC should do drama.
Online providers, such as Amazon Prime and Netflix, do not attract similar audiences, he added.
He said: "They (online streaming services) have huge budgets but until now they still have tiny audiences.
"People say 'everybody's watching Mad Men, everybody's watching the American version of House of Cards'. They're not, it's just people in the business are watching it. Most people are watching Call the Midwife and War and Peace."
Addressing the ongoing discussions over the renewal of the BBC's Royal Charter, Davies said drama was an intrinsic part of the corporation's output.
Davies, who was made a Bafta fellow in 2002, has written numerous adaptations for the screen, including Little Dorrit, Sense and Sensibility and Bleak House, as well as several novels.
Last year, he was honoured at the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards.
"I think that serious drama, or drama that makes an impact, is something that almost everybody agrees is one of the things that the BBC should be doing," he added.
"A lot of the arguments (about the BBC's future) tend to come over expensive entertainment shows, and bought-in shows and that kind of thing.
"But I think something like War and Peace is a great thing to get everybody on the BBC's side. It couldn't have been done without the BBC; who else would have done it?"
Davies's adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's epic novel has attracted favourable reviews and he said he had been "thrilled" by the reaction.
In a question-and-answer session after Monday's screening, Davies revealed that his next projects involved a planned adaptation of Les Miserables "with no music and no singing", and a drama based on Aneurin Bevan and the creation of the NHS.
He also praised the increased levels of drama production in Wales since Doctor Who began filming in Cardiff in 2005.
He said: "BBC Wales drama 20 or 30 years ago was pathetic. They couldn't do anything, and other people's productions would use BBC Wales' money because BBC Wales couldn't think of anything," he added.
"It's been an incredible last 10 years, starting off with Doctor Who. It's thrilling for me, coming from Wales, as I've been working for the BBC for ages but was rarely able to work with BBC Wales because over the years they were just so dozy.
"Now it's a powerhouse, it's extraordinary, and we should be terribly proud of it. But make sure to keep it going."
The final episode of War and Peace will be broadcast on BBC One Wales on Sunday 7 February at 21:00 GMT.
Late interventions often meant problems had escalated before support could be put in place, the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Children heard.
Its report into children's social care found 90% of councils were struggling to fulfil legal duties to children.
The government said offering early help was the best way to keep children safe.
The report, No Good Options, said the challenge faced by children's social care teams had always been tough but had recently taken on a whole new dimension.
"Local authorities are too often failing to reach children and families who need help whether through early intervention services, statutory support for 'children in need' or statutory support for children care," it said.
The inquiry repeatedly heard more resources were being directed towards children who had already suffered abuse or neglect or those at a high risk of harm.
Meanwhile, fewer resources were being allocated for early intervention and prevention, including support for families.
The report said: "The result is a shift towards late intervention, where needs have often escalated significantly before any support is put in place.
"This often results in more children being taken into care, and ultimately in poorer outcomes for children and families."
There was evidence this shift in focus was "leading to an unmet need and a rise in costly late intervention", it added.
Between 2010-11 and 2015-16, the number of children subject to a child protection plan grew by 29% while spending on children's social care rose by just over 2%.
At the same time, the number of children taken into care rose 17.4%
Funding to local authorities had dropped 20% over the same period, the report said.
MPs said there was "clear evidence that funding for children's social care services is not keeping pace with demand".
And they called on the Department for Education and the Department for Communities and Local Government to review how social care was resourced.
Tim Loughton, the Conservative MP who chairs the committee, said the government "must act to address the funding crisis engulfing children's social care, and in particular the lack of resource for preventative and early intervention services".
A spokesman for the Department for Education said children should receive high quality care and support no matter where they live.
He added: ''We have been taking tough action where councils are failing children, stepping in when they aren't doing well enough and linking them with better performing local authorities and sector experts.''
He also highlighted an £800m in bursaries for people training to be social workers.

The German financial services giant said its net income was 755m euros (£608m), hit by a larger tax bill, compared to 777m euros in the same quarter last year.
For the year so far, Deutsche Bank's profits have declined from 2011.
Net revenues grew by 18% to 8.7bn euros due to "improved market conditions and increased market activity".
Much of that came from corporate banking and securities trading.
"The European markets saw marked stabilisation in the third quarter of 2012 - compared with a very tense environment in the first half of the year," the bank said.
The results come as a European Union advisory group said earlier this month that Europe's banks should be split into separate legal entities, in order to protect ordinary retail banking from risky trading.
The EU is also moving towards banking union within the eurozone and is planning to have a eurozone-wide regulatory system, the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), which it hopes will begin its work by the start of next year.
It would allow the ECB to assume full supervisory responsibility over any credit institution, particularly those which have received or requested public funding, with all banks covered by the SSM by the start of 2014.
Shares in Deutsche Bank are up 13% so far this year.
Separately, London-listed bank Standard Chartered said its income this year grew at a "high single-digit rate".
"Whilst the global economy is slowing, and within that the Asian economies are now showing signs of lower growth, the group has delivered a strong third quarter performance with good income growth," it added.
It said that its income growth excluded the impact of the UK bank levy - increased to 0.105% by Chancellor George Osborne this year - but includes its settlement of $340m (£212m) made to the New York State Department of Financial Services.
The regulator had accused it of hiding $250bn of transactions with Iran.
Craig, who reprises the role of the secret agent in his fourth Bond movie, Spectre, this November, told Time Out magazine he wanted to "move on".
"I'm over it at the moment. We're done. All I want to do is move on," he said.
"For at least a year or two, I just don't want to think about it," said the 47-year-old. "If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money."
Craig first stepped into the role in the 2006 film Casino Royale, and his acclaimed performance was widely credited with reinvigorating the franchise.
'Step up'
The latest film reunites the star with director Sam Mendes, with whom he made 2012's Skyfall - the highest-grossing Bond film of all time.
However, when asked if he wanted to make another Bond movie, Craig told Time Out magazine: "Now? I'd rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all."
"I don't know what the next step is. I've no idea," he added, speculating on his future.
"At the moment, we've done it. I'm not in discussion with anybody about anything."
There has been widespread speculation about who might take over from Craig in the role - with Luther star Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston and Damian Lewis among the potential contenders, according to bookmakers and the press.
Craig's advice to any potential successor was to "step up".
"Don't listen to anybody else. Well, do listen to everybody, but you have to make the choice at the end of the day. It's your bed to lie on."
"You've got to step up. People do not make movies like this any more. This is really rare now." | China's President Xi Jinping intends to tell you a story.

The Hollywood musical, out in the UK on Friday, is up for best film, while stars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone are up for best actor and actress.
British actors Emily Blunt, Andrew Garfield and Hugh Grant are also in line for acting awards.
Philosophical sci-fi film Arrival and Tom Ford's dark drama Nocturnal Animals have nine nominations apiece.
Ken Loach's I, Daniel Blake is up for both the best film and best British film awards.
The welfare state drama receives an additional nod for its screenplay while Hayley Squires, who plays a single mother in the film, is up for best supporting actress.
"As if @BAFTA think it's a good idea to put me in the same room as Ryan Gosling," tweeted the London-born actress, adding that she was "very grateful for the recognition".
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn welcomed I, Daniel Blake's five nominations, congratulating Loach - who is up for best director - and "everyone involved in the brilliant film".
Grant, who plays Florence Foster Jenkins' partner St Clair Bayfield in the film about the singer's life, said: "This is so kind of Bafta and I feel very pleased both for myself and for St Clair Bayfield, neither of us having been exactly awards season habitues."
The British actor's only previous Bafta nomination, and award, came in 1995 for his role in Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Arrival, La La Land and I, Daniel Blake are joined in the best film category by Manchester by the Sea and Moonlight.
Other titles in contention for the outstanding British film award include Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which has five nominations in all.
Meryl Streep joins Blunt and Stone in the leading actress category, where she is nominated for her role in Florence Foster Jenkins.
Her 15th Bafta nomination puts her on an equal footing with Dame Judi Dench, who previously held the record for the most Bafta film nominations.
The US actress made headlines at the Golden Globes on Sunday with a speech in which she criticised US President-elect Donald Trump.
Mr Trump responded by claiming the three-time Oscar-winner and two-time Bafta recipient was "overrated".
Amy Adams and Natalie Portman complete the best actress contenders list, having been nominated for Arrival and Jackie respectively.
Gosling and Hacksaw Ridge star Garfield compete with Casey Affleck, Jake Gyllenhaal and Viggo Mortensen for the best actor award.
The latter trio are respectively nominated for Manchester by the Sea, Nocturnal Animals and Captain Fantastic.
Grant, who appears with Streep in Florence Foster Jenkins, is joined in the supporting actor category by fellow Brits Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Dev Patel.
Taylor-Johnson is nominated for his Golden Globe-winning turn in Nocturnal Animals, while Slumdog Millionaire star Patel is shortlisted for Lion.
"This Bafta nomination today truly means so much to me" said Patel in a statement. "My family is literally freaking out right now!"
"It's always nice to feel love from your hometown," said Taylor-Johnson, adding he was "genuinely humbled" by the "fantastic honour".
"Can't wait to celebrate back in good ole Blighty!" continued the 26-year-old, who is married to the British artist formerly known as Sam Taylor-Wood.
British actress Naomie Harris is also shortlisted for the supporting actress award for her work in independent film Moonlight.
Viola Davis, Nicole Kidman and Michelle Williams receive nominations in that category as well for Fences, Lion and Manchester by the Sea.
La La Land was the big winner at last weekend's Golden Globes, receiving every one of the seven awards for which it was nominated.
Its director, Damien Chazelle, is Bafta-shortlisted in both the director and original screenplay categories.
Kenneth Lonergan and Tom Ford also receive dual director and screenplay nods for Manchester by the Sea and Nocturnal Animals respectively.
Arrival's Denis Villeneuve joins Chazelle, Ford, Loach and Lonergan in the best director category.
Loach's nomination comes 50 years on from the Bafta TV award he received in 1967 for Cathy Come Home.
The 80-year-old film-maker received the organisation's Michael Balcon Award in 1994 and a Bafta Fellowship in 2006.
The Disney studio dominates the animated film category, scoring three of the four nominations with Finding Dory, Moana and Zootropolis.
Kubo and the Two Strings is the only nominee not to have been made by the so-called "House of Mouse" and its subsidiary Pixar.
Zootropolis co-director Rich Moore tweeted his thanks for his film's nomination, adding: "We will see you in London!"
Kubo director Travis Knight, meanwhile, said he was "thrilled and thankful" to be recognised for a film he said had been "a wholehearted labour of love".
Others to have tweeted reactions to the nominations include actor Russell Tovey, who said it was "huge" that his drama The Pass was shortlisted.
The Pass, in which Tovey plays a closeted gay footballer, receives a nomination in the outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer category for its writer John Donnelly and director, Ben A Williams.
This year's nominations were announced by Dominic Cooper and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner at Bafta's central London HQ.
Cooper said he could understand why people were "raving" about La La Land, praising its "gorgeous, skilful performances".
Amanda Berry, chief executive of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, said it had been "a really exciting year for film".
"The range of films is quite extraordinary," she told BBC Breakfast. "That's what makes this year's nominations so intriguing and interesting."
Bookmaker Coral makes La La Land 1-5 favourite to be named best film and tips Chazelle to be crowned best director.
It also predicts Casey Affleck will win best actor for Manchester by the Sea and that Stone will beat Portman to the best actress prize.
The nominations follow last week's unveiling of the five actors in contention for this year's Rising Star prize.
A public vote will decide whether Laia Costa, Lucas Hedges, Tom Holland, Ruth Negga or Anya Taylor-Joy receive the award.
The 2017 Bafta Film Awards will be held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 12 February.

Wasps scored twice in the first 10 minutes via Hughes and Ruaridh Jackson.
Jackson and Elliot Daly added a penalty apiece with Jonathan Pelissie landing two for Toulon, champions three years in a row, to make it 20-6 at half-time.
Further tries from Frank Halai and Hughes secured Wasps' bonus point.
Wasps knew they might struggle to contain the powerful Toulon pack in the tight phases, and when they lost Bradley Davies to illness before the game that became even more likely.
His replacement in the second row, James Gaskell, is a much lighter player than Wales lock Davies, but what Wasps may have lost in the scrum they more than gained in the loose.
With the hosts playing a fast-paced game with plenty of width, the rangy Gaskell was in his element. His mobility enabled him to cover every blade of grass in a performance that saw him named man of the match.
The hosts were out of the blocks quickly and scored their opening try when number eight Hughes rampaged over after being set free by Jackson's raking pass.
Two minutes later, Wasps countered from deep. Simpson claimed Jackson's cute chip and fed Gaskell, who supplied the final pass for Jackson to scamper over from 40 metres.
That gave the home side a 14-0 lead and they led by the same margin at the break after both sides landed a pair of penalties.
Wasps maintained their ambition after the break and the only area Toulon had the advantage was the scrum.
With James Haskell and George Smith in outstanding form for Wasps - captain Haskell led from the front with 20 tackles - Toulon were unable to rule the breakdown or find a way through the home defence.
Wasps always looked the more threatening side and they scored a third try soon after half-time as full-back Charles Piatau sliced through Toulon on the counter-attack and Halai was on his shoulder to finish from 30 metres out.
After their bonus-point win away to Leinster last weekend, Wasps were full of confidence and they duly secured a four-try bonus point when Hughes powered over from a well-worked line-out.
Wasps boss Dai Young on lively scrum-half Joe Simpson: "I don't see many nines better than Joe out there. His kicking game is up there with the best, and in broken play I think he's the best nine.
"Something England kept talking to him about was the game management, making the right decisions, but I think he's more than mastered that - he's shown how accomplished he is as a nine and a decision-maker."
Wasps: Piutau; Wade, Daly, Jacobs, Halai; Jackson, Simpson; Mullan, Festuccia, Cooper-Woolley, Launchbury, Gaskell, Haskell, G Smith, N Hughes.
Replacements: Lozowski for Piutau (71), Tagicakibau for Wade (67), Robson for Simpson (68), McIntyre for Mullan (59), Johnson for Festuccia (21), Cittadini for Cooper-Woolley (54), Myall for Launchbury (67), Jones for Haskell (67).
Toulon: D Armitage; Tuiosva, Bastareaud, Mermoz, Habana; Cooper, Pelissie; Chiocci, Etrillard, Stevens, Manoa, Taofifenua, J Smith, Fernandez Lobbe, S Armitage.
Replacements: Belan for Mermoz (71), Tillous-Borde for Pelissie (50), Fresia for Chiocci (51), Soury for Etrillard (63), Chilachava for Stevens (41), Mikautadze for Taofifenua (51), Gorgodze for J Smith (59), Vermeulen for S Armitage (51).

Highlights include a day-long "edit-a-thon" of a major website to rediscover "forgotten" women, and a five-hour live festival in Mexico City.
There will also be three weeks of thought-provoking journalism on issues from self-harming to female friendship.
And as in previous years, the season kicks off with the publication of the 100 Women List.
We choose 100 women to profile and champion - a mix of world leaders in politics, science and entertainment, as well as lesser-known inspirational women from across the globe.
"100 Women is now in its fourth year, and we are proud of the platform it has given to many inspirational women - using the reach and journalistic excellence of the BBC to highlight the challenges, opportunities and experiences of women across the world," says Fiona Crack, editor of the 100 Women season.
"This year I'm particularly looking forward to some of the stories coming from Gaza, Uganda, Nepal and Kazakhstan. We will focus on lots of difficult issues including trafficking, secondary infertility, domestic abuse, harassment and trolling," she says.
"We will also explore the inspiring attitudes of women and girls with features about reimagining 'sexist' fairy tales, harnessing the power of grandmas and how to plan a wedding for 3,000 in Africa's most populous city."
One highlight is a documentary called Scar. It will follow two young women, both recovering from years of self-harm, who meet to compare their paths back to health and travel to London to meet Barbara, a woman who has opened a specialist make-up clinic to help such women conceal their scars.
Other programmes which will air on BBC World News include No Longer a Goddess - incumbent and former living goddesses in Nepal discuss the pressures and expectations of such a role - and Death and Cheerleading, which follows a group of cheerleading grandmothers in Arizona embracing life in their final years.
We will hold a five-hour open festival in Mexico City featuring music, dance, theatre, debates and exhibitions on 24 November, which will be covered live on BBC World News and Facebook.
In London we are hosting a marathon editing session of a major website to rediscover some of the unsung achievements of women and girls.
Online there will be at least 10 opinion pieces by people who defy stereotypes around the globe, including a father dedicated to raising a feminist son; a gay woman who felt moved to marry a gay man to gain acceptance; and a worker who takes menstrual leave every month from her job.
The BBC's 100 Women 2016 season runs from 21 November to 9 December on the BBC News website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and World Service TV and Radio.
The SNP leader will travel to Ireland later in November for talks with politicians and business leaders.
Ms Sturgeon has been invited to address the Seanad, and will become the first serving head of government to do so.
She said there was a "long tradition of co-operation" between Scotland and Ireland, adding that this was "even more important" since the Brexit vote.
The Herald newspaper had quoted the Irish government's international development minister as saying there would not be direct talks with Ms Sturgeon's government over Brexit.
However, the first minister will meet President Michael Higgins and Charlie Flanagan, the minister for foreign affairs, during her visit to Dublin.
A spokeswoman said she would also meet about 100 of Ireland's "top business representatives".
Ms Sturgeon said: "Scotland and Ireland have a shared history and a long tradition of co-operation on a range of issues.
"In the post-Brexit landscape, it has become even more important that we work together to protect our shared interests.
"Last year we established an innovation and investment hub in Dublin to strengthen our relationship with Ireland and promote inward investment.
"I am proud and humbled to have been invited to address the Seanad and recognise what an honour this is. I am looking forward to the opportunity to speak to Senators about my hopes for continued work between our two nations and my plans to protect Scotland's interests in the EU."
Shares in the company dived 16% as it cut its dividend and warned that its expectations for next year's results have "softened slightly".
Pre-tax profits for the six months to 30 September fell to £2.2m from £12m a year earlier.
The firm had warned in August of problems at its new sorting hub.
It said at the time that the new equipment had been "incompatible" with some of its parcels.
UK Mail's previous headquarters in Birmingham was compulsorily bought by HS2 earlier this year.
It has been compensated £6.8m by the Department of Transport and HS2, and will get another final compensation payment of £10.3m in December.
But the move to its new headquarters in the former Peugeot car factory site in Coventry has caused problems.
UK Mail chief executive Guy Buswell said: "It has become clear that the near-term challenges associated with the transition have been more significant than first anticipated.
"Trading in the initial weeks of the second half, and overall trends within our individual businesses, have been in line with our revised expectations.
"However, due to the timescales required to fully resolve the challenges, our expectations for the next financial year have softened slightly."
Group revenues grew by 4.5% to £237.6m, and when one-off items are stripped out underlying pre-tax profits were £4.9m, down from £11.2m last year.
UK Mail said it would pay in interim dividend of 5.5p per share, compared with 7.3p a year earlier.
The Science and Technology Committee said the UK "lacks the capacity" to produce enough to protect people.
And they said the government's response to the Ebola outbreak was "undermined by systematic delay".
The government said its "swift" action had saved lives and steps had been taken for an effective future response.
More than 11,000 people died in West Africa in the largest-ever outbreak of Ebola.
MPs praised the "heroic" efforts of the volunteers who often put their own lives on the line to tackle the epidemic.
But their report warned: "We are also concerned that, in the unlikely but possible event of a domestic outbreak, the UK lacks the capability to go further and manufacture enough vaccines to vaccinate UK citizens in an emergency.
"Existing facilities are degraded and new plants will take years to build, leaving the UK in a vulnerable position."
The concern is that should a disease such as Ebola spread around the world then countries would look after their own interests first, making it hard for the UK to get hold of vaccines.
Prof Adrian Hill, who was involved in trialling Ebola vaccines at Oxford University, described the lack of vaccine manufacturing as a "national security issue".
Those concerns were echoed by the chief medical officer, Prof Dame Sally Davies, who told the committee that "we are looking at how we can try and attract companies back".
The report also said "delays were evident at every stage of our response" to the crisis.
It pointed to research suggesting 12,500 cases of Ebola would have been prevented if treatment centres were set up just one month earlier.
And there was again criticism of the decision to set up screening at UK airports, contrary to recommendations from the World Health Organization.
Nicola Blackwood, the chairwoman of the committee, said: "The UK response to Ebola - like the international one - was undermined by systematic delay.
"The government's emergency response procedures were triggered far too late in the day, Ebola test kits were developed and trialled, but not deployed, and the initial response was ad hoc and uncoordinated.
"A combination of hard work and chance prevented Ebola spreading further than it did, but a future epidemic may be less containable and spread within the UK as well as overseas.
"We must take the opportunity now to ensure that the UK is not caught unprepared when the next disease emergency strikes. Lives can be lost for every day of delay."
A Department of Health spokesman said: "We have already taken steps to ensure an even more effective response in future.
"This includes the £1bn Ross Fund for infectious disease research, the UK Vaccine Network to target the most threatening diseases, and a rapid response team of public health professionals who can be deployed within 48 hours to investigate a disease outbreak in a developing country."

Leigh, in their first top-flight game since 2005, were blown away by four first-half scores and a Luke Gale penalty to trail 26-0 at the break.
Gale and Greg Minikin both picked up two tries apiece as the Tigers continued to exert their dominance.
Leigh rallied with three scores, but it came too late to challenge Cas.
Daryl Powell's Tigers are among the contenders in 2017 despite the loss of Denny Solomona, who scored 42 tries last season, in a high-profile defection to rugby union.
They showed they can cope without him with plenty of strike options - notably from Minikin, Jake Webster and Greg Eden.
The Centurions had dominated the second tier Championship over the past three seasons and were impressive in the Qualifiers with three wins against Super League opposition to book their top-flight place last term.
However, having survived a tight opening quarter, they could not live with Cas' movement, fluid handling and pace - particularly after Gale had crossed for the opening try.
Captain Gale kicked eight goals to add to his two tries, while there were debut scores for Jesse Sene-Lefao and boyhood fan Eden.
Leigh coach Neil Jukes will have been heartened by his side's refusal to give in on a tough introduction to Super League life, characterised by tries from former Tigers Ryan Hampshire and Danny Tickle as well as Matty Dawson.
Castleford head coach Daryl Powell told BBC Radio 5 live extra: "Once we got to grips with the game we were excellent, I was really happy with large parts of our attack and defence.
"It was always going to be a dangerous game, it was 0-0 for a while and it took a bit to break them down, the conditions are difficult. It's not summer rugby.
"We scored some smart tries, we looked dangerous and inventive and there were a lot of things to admire about our defence."
Leigh head coach Neil Jukes told BBC Radio 5 live extra: "We didn't get ourselves a chance to win the game, our kicking game was poor and three or four times we had seven tackle restarts, soft penalties with poor errors and some individual ones.
"If you defend your tryline as much as we did, certainly after 21 to 63 minutes, as good as you think your defence is, Cas are going to score points.
"Ultimately, we gave them too many opportunities. Across the board some individuals did some really good stuff and we did some poor stuff from 1-17. It's about getting the deficiencies out of us."

María Lorena Ramírez defeated 500 other runners from 12 countries in the female category of the Ultra Trail Cerro Rojo in Puebla, in central Mexico.
She ran without any professional gear, and her pair of sandals was reportedly made from recycled tyre rubber.
The Tarahumara are famous for being excellent runners.
The race was held on 29 April, but only now has word about her victory spread.
Apart from the sandals, she wore a skirt and a scarf in the race. The runner did not have any professional training.
She finished the race at seven hours and three minutes, and was awarded 6,000 pesos ($320; £250).
Reports said her job is herding goats and cattle, walking some 10-15km every day.
Last year, she came second in the 100km category of the Caballo Blanco ultramarathon, in Chihuahua.
The most polluted cities were in north-eastern Hebei, the province that surrounds the capital Beijing.
Beijing and Shanghai both failed the assessment, which was based on measurements of major pollutants.
China is attempting to cut pollution but the country still relies heavily on coal for its energy needs.
The government shut more than 8,000 coal-burning factories in Hebei last year.
But the BBC's Celia Hatton in Beijing says like many places in China, the authorities are struggling to balance factory closures with the demands of the country's slowing economy.
The environment ministry's statement published on its website (in Chinese) noted that the 2014 result was an improvement over the previous year, where only three cities met the standards.
But it added that "presently, the country's air pollution situation remains serious".
The assessment was based on readings of pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and ozone.
The southern city of Haikou, in Hainan province, was found to have the cleanest air.
Most of the eight cities that made the grade were in the east of the country.
Meanwhile the northern industrial city of Baoding had the dirtiest air.
The statement did not give the rankings for Beijing and Shanghai, although it noted that Beijing's air quality had improved slightly over the previous year.
The Chinese authorities announced a "war on air pollution" last year, and recently began publishing figures for the air quality in China's cities. Officials have pledged to restrict consumption of coal, scrap millions of cars and rely more on clean energy sources.
At November's Apec summit, China made a historic pledge that its carbon emissions would peak by 2030, but did not set a specific target.
It also attempted to improve the air quality in Beijing during the Apec summit, imposing tight limits on car use and ordering factories to close in the weeks leading up to the meeting.
The temporary improvement in air quality was termed "Apec Blue", and the government has since promised to make it a permanent feature by improving air quality countrywide.
Writing in Plos Medicine they suggest that less blood reaches the brain during these moments, leading to brain cell damage over time.
Dementia experts say this is a "robust study" and "plausible explanation" that needs further investigation.
Charities point out that factors such as smoking carry higher risks.
But they say the work adds to growing evidence that changes in blood pressure have an impact on the brain.
Previous studies have linked high blood pressure to types of dementia.
But in this paper scientists focused on transient periods of low blood pressure - also known as postural hypotension - which become more common in older age.
These episodes can sometimes leave people feeling dizzy or give them "head rushes" when standing up suddenly.
Researchers from the Erasmus Medical Center, in the Netherlands, tracked 6,000 people for an average of 15 years.
They found those who suffered repeated periods of low blood pressure on standing were more likely to develop dementia in the years that followed.
Researcher Dr Arfan Ikram said: "Even though the effect can be seen as subtle - with an increased risk of about 4% for people with postural hypotension compared to those without it - so many people suffer from postural hypotension as they get older that it could have a significant impact on the burden of dementia across the world."
He told the BBC: "If people experience frequent episodes of dizziness on standing, particularly as they get older, they should see their GPs for advice."
But he added that young people, who have one-off episodes of dizziness when standing up because of dehydration for example, should not be unduly worried.
Prof Tom Dening, from Nottingham University, described the research as "an important study".
He added: "The suggestion is that feeling dizzy, which results from a fall in blood pressure, may interfere with the circulation of blood round the brain and that over time, this causes damage which may contribute to dementia.
"This is a plausible hypothesis and has support from other research. It is possible that something else may be going on."
He said: "A dizzy spell is not a death sentence nor does it mean you are certain to develop dementia.
"On the other hand, if this problem occurs frequently, then it is worth seeing your doctor as there may be remediable causes, for example if you are taking medication it should be reviewed."
Dr Laura Phipps, of the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "While the risks found in this study are reasonably small compared to other known risk factors for dementia, it adds to a growing and complex picture of how blood pressure changes throughout life can impact the brain.
"As well as maintaining a healthy blood pressure, the best current evidence suggests that not smoking, only drinking in moderation, staying mentally and physically active, eating a balanced diet, and keeping cholesterol levels in check can all help to keep our brains healthy as we age," she said.
Jan Arriens, from Bishop's Castle in Shropshire, planned to visit Mike Lambrix, who was set executed on 11 February.
Lambrix - who was sentenced to death for the murder of a couple in Florida in 1984 - was given a stay of execution last week.
Mr Arriens says he will now be travelling with renewed optimism.
"I'm looking forward to the trip now, whereas before it was really a bit of an ordeal and very trying," he said.
"Now I can go in a totally different frame of mind, be much more positive and share things with him that in a way wouldn't have been possible otherwise."
The Quaker-founded LifeLines supports prisoners on death row through letters and hopes Lambrix's death sentence will be dropped.
"Anything is possible at this stage. The likelihood of execution has decreased, but it's still very real," Mr Arriens said.
Mr Arriens, who last saw Lambrix 12 years ago, said he almost cancelled the trip after the execution date was put back, but felt it was important to carry on with his previous plans.
"I think that at this sort of time suddenly people become much less news-worthy and he could feel very isolated, so I thought it was precisely the time to stay in touch with him and keep supporting him," he said.
"He's been through some very difficult days and experiences, and I'll be interested to talk to him about that - how he's coped with all the pressures on him and what it's meant to him in terms of the meaning of life."
Passers-by found the hot weather casualties at Goose Green in Ashill, Norfolk, on Wednesday.
Staff at the RSPCA centre at East Winch loosened the tar with butter before bathing the birds in washing-up liquid and warm water.
Manager Alison Charles said: "Butter is an old fashioned remedy for removing tar and it really works.
"The weather was so hot yesterday that the road suface was melting.
"All five ducklings were so poorly when they came in we weren't sure they were going to make it."
However, after treatment they are now "eating, drinking and chirping away in our orphans' room," Ms Charles added.
A total of 22,000 hectares (55,000 acres) can be planted with coca nationwide, compared with 12,000 hectares under previous legislation.
Mr Morales is himself a former coca farmer and dismissed warnings that the move would fuel the illegal drug trade.
The coca plant. used to make cocaine, also has traditional uses in the Andes.
Its leaves are used to make tea to fight altitude sickness. When chewed they provide mild stimulation and suppress hunger, thirst and pain.
Mr Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, has long supported the legalisation of coca leaf chewing globally, urging the UN to declare it legal. He still heads a federations of coca farmers' unions in the Chapare region.
"We want to guarantee coca supplies for life" for people who use the leaves legally, the leftist leader said in a speech.
Opposition lawmakers said the law was unconstitutional as it violated international treaties. They argued it would be a boon to drug traffickers.
The government hopes to boost the export of coca leaf products, according to the La Razon newspaper. Such products are already legally exported to Ecuador, it said.
Despite the previous restrictions, in 2014, 20,400 hectares of land in Bolivia was "under coca bush cultivation", according to UN figures, representing 15% of the world total.
The country is the world's third-biggest producer of cocaine, after Colombia and Peru.
In 2013 the European Union estimated that demand for legal coca in Bolivia was 14,700 hectares.
Dr Upton was the driving force behind the early design of the credit-card sized computer and founded the charity that oversees its development.
The Pi has proved hugely popular with electronics hobbyists and many children are using the devices to get a taste of computer coding.
In April 2016, the Pi became the most popular British computer ever made.
More than eight million have been sold since the tiny device was launched in early 2012. The small computer has gone through several revisions and the most recent update, version 3, has a 64-bit processor and wi-fi and Bluetooth built in.
Dr Upton said he was "shell-shocked" to receive the honour. He said it was a tribute to the team of people at the Raspberry Pi Foundation and its electronics partners who were working on the device and the educational projects it has kicked off.
In total, he said, 200 people at the Foundation, chipmaker Broadcom, electronics suppliers Farnell and RS Components and Sony were involved with the Pi.
"We're starting to make real progress on our mission," he told the BBC "There are over 4,000 Code Clubs in UK schools, nearly 800 Raspberry Pi Certified Educators and more applicants for computer science at Cambridge than at the height of the dotcom boom."
Several other technology industry veterans were also honoured in the list. Dr David Grant, head of Welsh electronics firm IQE Semiconductors, was made a knight for services to engineering and technology.
Dr Jo Twist, head of the games industry body UKIE, was made an OBE, as was Sarah Wood, chief executive of video ad firm Unruly.
Sarah Bestwick from games publisher Team 17, Shazam boss Andrew Fisher and Tech Crunch editor Mike Butcher all became MBEs in the list.

Although he was part of the Yeovil team that were beaten by Blackpool in the League One play-off final in 2007, Jones had tasted success at the Millennium Stadium a few years previously, when Brighton beat Bristol City to earn promotion to the Championship.
And Jones wants to use those sorts of memories to override those of Hatters fans, who watched their side lose to Crewe in 1997, York in 2010, AFC Wimbledon in 2011 and York again in 2012.
"I wasn't here then, so there's nothing I could do," Jones said.
"It's a new group of players with a new group of goals. If the fans get behind us, and we perform, we've got a great chance.
"I can't affect history - I can affect the present."
Having finished fourth in League Two, Luton will start as favourites to be promoted - but Jones is keen to avoid the fate which befell Scunthorpe, who finished third in League One but lost to Millwall in the play-off semi-finals.
"We're delighted to have finished where we have. That's a big statement from us," Jones said.
"But the play-offs are a lottery. We saw in the League One games, Scunthorpe finished third but lost at home 3-2 to a really strong Millwall side, so we have to be wary of things like that.
"The league table tells us we're the fourth best side so we have to prove that."
Ed Stone cannot say when the Voyager-1 spacecraft will leave the Solar System, but he believes the moment is close.
The latest data from this extraordinary probe, reported in this week's Science journal, suggests it is surfing right on the very edge of our Sun's domain.
The particles streaming away from our star have reduced to a trickle at its present location, 18.5 billion km from Earth.
Particles flying towards it from interstellar space, by contrast, have jumped markedly in the past year.
It all points to an imminent departure, which would make Voyager the first man-made object to cross into the space between the stars.
Find out how long it would take you
"It's hard to imagine there's another layer between the one we're in and the outside," Dr Stone told BBC News. "Topologically, it makes sense that this is the outermost layer. The only question is: how thick is it?"
Launched way back in 1977, the probe has now travelled so far from home that its constant chatter of data takes 17 hours to arrive at the US space agency's receiving network. And chatter, it does.
Voyager's instruments are busy sampling the far-flung environment. This has allowed Dr Stone and colleagues to map the shape and reach of the heliosphere - the giant bubble of charged particles blown off from our Sun.
In 2004, it reached a turbulent region referred to as the heliosheath, where particles bounced around in all directions.
It was expected this would be the final stage before the leap to interstellar space. But, as has been the case throughout this 35-year mission, Voyager threw up yet another surprise.
Last year, it detected what appears to be a discrete boundary layer that Ed Stone's team call the "heliosheath depletion region" in Friday's three Science papers.
It is a kind of magnetic highway where energetic particles on the inside can get out easily, and the galactic cosmic ray particles on the outside can zoom in.
"It is where the Sun's magnetic field has piled up, compressed up against itself. It has also doubled in strength. It's smoother than anything we've ever seen with Voyager," Dr Stone explained.
The team is now watching the direction of the field lines very carefully. Currently, they orientate east-west, wound into a spiral by the rotating Sun. But when Voyager finally breaks through into interstellar space, they are expected to shift dramatically, running north-south.
This is an acid test for Dr Stone. Although some might argue the particle data is evidence of Voyager being outside the Solar System, the project leader believes the probe cannot truly be said to be beyond the Sun's domain until it has also escaped our star's magnetic influence.
But do not expect an immediate, definitive announcement from Nasa that Voyager is in interstellar space when the magnetic signal does switch.
Instead, the instrument scientists will sit and listen to the probe's chatter, perhaps for several months. They will want to be absolutely sure Voyager has broken through the so-called heliopause.
Like the surfer who rides the front of a breaking wave, battling the foam, Voyager will take some time to move completely clear of everything behind.
"The edge may be somewhat turbulent. We just don't know," Dr Stone told BBC News. "This is exploration after all, and we will find out how Nature makes this interface. But it will be moving because the Sun does 'breathe' in and out."
Voyager 1 is on course to approach a star called AC +793888, but it will only get to within two light-years of it and take some 40,000 years to make the passage.
Voyager 2, which was launched a few weeks before Voyager 1, is on a slightly slower path to interstellar space and is probably a few years from seeing the heliosheath depletion region.
Both probes have sufficient power in their plutonium "batteries" to keep working into the next decade.

The trio handed control of the ISS over to Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka, after nearly 200 days in space.
Among them is Italian Samantha Cristoforetti, who has set the record for the most time in space on a single mission by a female astronaut.
Their Soyuz spacecraft landed safely on Thursday in the steppes of Kazakhstan.
"It was a textbook homecoming for the Expedition 43 crew," said a NASA presenter after the landing.
The commander of the expedition, Terry Virts, and his crewmates Anton Shkaplerov and Ms Cristoforetti have spent almost seven months on board the ISS carrying out scientific research and technology demonstrations.
All three were carried out of the spacecraft and checked over by medical workers. "Everything worked by the second, step by step, the guys were great," said Mr Shkaplerov.
According to a Nasa press release, the team has travelled more than 84 million miles since their launch into space on 24 November.
They were originally due to leave a month ago, but their departure was delayed after the failure of a supply spaceship. The out-of-control unmanned Progress M-27M burnt up as it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.
The delay meant that on 6 June Ms Cristoforetti set a new world record for the most time spent in space by a woman on a single mission after clocking up more than 194 days.
The 38-year-old has gained an active following on Twitter during her time on the ISS by posting videos showing how to do simple everyday tasks in space such as making a meal.
She also famously introduced an espresso machine, which was specially adapted to work in space.
Expedition 44 is led by Mr Padalka, alongside fellow crew members US astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko.
Mr Kelly and Mr Kornienko are two-and-a-half months into a year-long tour of duty on the ISS, the longest continuous stay anyone will have had on board the 400km-high (250 mile) orbiting platform.
Three more astronauts are due to join them in July.
The company had attempted to challenge the search warrant on the basis that the information was stored exclusively on computer servers outside the US.
Microsoft previously said it planned to offer business and government clients control over where their data resided.
This followed concerns about data privacy raised by whistleblower Edward Snowden's leaks about US spying.
But the ruling potentially undermines that pledge.
The judge said warrants for online data were different to other warrants.
The search warrant, which was issued to Microsoft by US authorities, sought information associated with a member of the public's email account including their name, credit card details and contents of all messages.
Microsoft said it would continue to oppose the release of the Dublin-stored data.
"This is the first step toward getting this issue in front of courts that have the authority to correct the government's longstanding views on the application of search warrants to content stored digitally outside the United States," it said.
Judge James Francis in New York said that this was true for "traditional" warrants but not for those seeking online content, which are governed by federal law under the Stored Communications Act.
He said the warrant should be treated more like a subpoena for documents. Anyone issued with a subpoena by the US must provide the information sought, no matter where it was held, he said.
Law enforcement efforts would be seriously impeded and the burden on the government would be substantial if they had to co-ordinate with foreign governments to obtain this sort of information from internet service providers such as Microsoft and Google, Judge Francis said.
In a blog post, Microsoft's deputy general counsel, David Howard, said: "A US prosecutor cannot obtain a US warrant to search someone's home located in another country, just as another country's prosecutor cannot obtain a court order in her home country to conduct a search in the United States.
"We think the same rules should apply in the online world, but the government disagrees."
A new data-protection law, currently being drafted by the European Union, aims to make sure companies no longer share European citizens' data with authorities of another country, unless explicitly allowed by EU law or an international treaty.
In response to the ruling in the US, Mina Andreeva, European Commission spokeswoman for justice, fundamental rights and citizenship, told the BBC: "The commission's position is that this data should not be directly accessed by or transferred to US law enforcement authorities outside formal channels of co-operation, such as the mutual legal assistance agreements or sectoral EU-US agreements authorising such transfers.
"Access by other means should be excluded, unless it takes place in clearly defined, exceptional and judicially reviewable situations."
Ms Andreeva also said that "the European Parliament reinforced the principle that companies operating on the European market need to respect the European data protection rules - even if they are located in the US."
Earlier this year German Chancellor Angela Merkel proposed building up a European communications network to help improve data protection and avoid emails and other data automatically passing through the United States.
Both of these actions were prompted by allegations of mass surveillance by the US National Security Agency.
Microsoft is hoping for a review of the decision from a federal district judge.
Police believe Sean Banks may have been involved in a fight with a group of youths near a tunnel that passes beneath the M74.
The teenager's body was found in North British Road just after midnight.
His family said they had suffered a "tragic loss". A post-mortem examination will be carried out and CCTV images are being reviewed.
Det Ch Insp Gary Boyd, from Police Scotland, appealed for anyone with information to get in touch.
He said: "Around 22:40 hours last night there were a number of youths who were near the entrance to St John the Baptist Primary School in North British Road and we believe that Sean may have been involved in an altercation with someone from this group.
"We are studying CCTV from the surrounding area and would appeal to anyone near the school or in North British Road at this time to contact us.
"A local man has been murdered and I'm sure that local residents will be shocked by that news.
"However, I am sure they hold the key and I am appealing to them to contact us with any information, no matter how trivial it may seem, please pass it on to police."
Sean's family said in a statement: "We have suffered a tragic loss. Sean will be sadly missed and we would ask that everyone respects our privacy at this time."
Originally, the 783 charges were dropped weeks before the 2009 election which led to him becoming president.
But last month, a high court judge described that decision as "irrational".
Mr Zuma has always denied the allegations which are linked to a 1999 arms deal worth billions of dollars.
And in April, a judge-led commission of inquiry found no evidence of corruption or fraud by any government officials at the time the deal was made.
Live: Zuma decision announced
Profile: Jacob Zuma
After a case brought by the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA), Judge Aubrey Ledwaba said last month that the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) should consider re-opening the case.
But National Director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams said that prosecutors should be able to exercise discretion over whether an investigation should continue.
Briefing journalists, Mr Abrahams said that this was an issue that affected the separation of powers and that the ruling "has far-reaching ramifications".
He said he would be seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court against the High Court ruling .
Quoting legislation that defines the role of the NPA, Mr Abrahams said that he did his job "without fear, favour or prejudice", adding that no-one influenced his decisions.
The DA described the prosecutor's decision as a "blatant delaying tactic to shield [Mr] Zuma from his day in court".
This decision means that President Jacob Zuma is off the hook, for now.
By appealing against last month's High Court ruling, the NPA has refused to reinstate the charges.
Although chief prosecutor Shaun Abrahams was at pains to explain his independence, the opposition still maintains that he is too close to President Zuma.
If the Supreme Court of Appeal rules against the NPA, Mr Abrahams would have to go to the highest court in the land, the Constitutional Court.
So the allegations of corruption against the 73-year-old president are still going to be in our daily diet for some time to come.
But the president must be breathing a bit easier now.
The DA asked the courts to review the 2009 decision after it got access to the evidence in the so-called "spy tapes" that led the chief prosecutor Mokotedi Mpshe to drop the case.
In 2009, Mr Mpshe said that the tapes - recordings of phone conversations between officials discussing the timing of the case against Mr Zuma - suggested that there was political interference in the investigation.
Last month, Judge Ledwaba said Mr Mpshe had "found himself under pressure" when he decided to discontinue the prosecution and "consequently made an irrational decision".
"Considering the situation in which he found himself, Mr Mpshe ignored the importance of the oath of office which commanded him to act independently and without fear and favour.
"Mr Zuma should face the charges as outlined in the indictment," the judge said.
The investigation into Mr Zuma's alleged corruption had become heavily politicised, amid a power struggle between Mr Zuma and then-President Thabo Mbeki.
Mr Zuma was sacked as deputy president in 2005 shortly after his financial adviser, Schabir Shaik, was found guilty of corruption and fraud in relation to the arms deal.
Controversial arms deal: What you need to know
Mr Jones said the Tory strategy was to "hit Scotland, hit Wales" but they were "too afraid to hit Northern Ireland".
He was on a tour of three seats in south Wales Labour is targeting.
In response, the Conservatives said they had a "long-term economic plan that is securing a better future for people in Wales".
Speaking in Barry, in the Vale of Glamorgan, on Thursday, Mr Jones said: "The Conservative strategy now seems to be 'get out the English nationalist vote, hit Scotland, hit Wales, oh we're too afraid to hit Northern Ireland' - of course, that's the way they are.
"Where does that leave the UK in the future?
"And I'm really, seriously concerned that the Tories have given up on Britain."
A Conservative spokesperson said: "The Conservatives have spent the last five years demonstrating our commitment here, and our record speaks for itself.
"We have helped to get more than 50,000 more people in Wales into work with the security of a regular pay packet, and we have cut income tax for more than a million.
"The Conservatives have a track record and whatever Carwyn Jones says, the choice on May 7 is a clear one. It is between the competence of the Conservatives, continuing to build a strong Britain, or the chaos of Ed Miliband propped up by the SNP."
Charlie Flanagan said an important breakthrough was made on Friday morning and he detected a determination on everybody's part to reach an agreement.
The talks are on flags, parades, the legacy of the Troubles and welfare.
Mr Flanagan predicted that an agreement was possible if not on Monday, then "a short time after".
However he accepted that everyone was waiting for Prime Minister David Cameron's response to the five Northern Ireland Executive parties' proposals on finances.
The five main parties have asked the UK government for £2bn in loans and extra funding over a 10-year period, the BBC understands.
In an interview with the Irish state broadcaster RTÉ, Mr Flanagan said there had been progress on Troubles legacy issues as well as finances on Friday.
However, he added that "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed".
In a statement on Friday night, Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness said efforts to achieve a comprehensive agreement have so far been inconclusive.
"Progress has been made and today the five parties have agreed a set of proposals regarding public finance that would enable the executive to use its powers to protect the most vulnerable, and to invest in building peace and reconciliation and welfare safeguards.
"These proposals require additional financial support.
"There has yet to be agreement on the outstanding issues of identity, parades and the legacy of the past," Mr McGuinness added.
The five main parties' request to the UK government includes a peace investment fund and cash to pay for public bodies that would examine the legacy of the Troubles.
They have asked the Treasury to write off £214m in fines imposed on the executive for its delay in implementing welfare reform.
The negotiations continued late into the evening again but finished shortly after 22:00 GMT.
Speaking at Stormont, Mr Flanagan said he and Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers would resume talks on Monday.
The US Agency for International Development (USAid) spent $31bn (£25bn) last year.
But like other areas of foreign policy, we can only speculate what a Trump administration will do.
Donald Trump's pronouncements so far on international aid are what you might expect from a proponent of the "America First" world view.
He told the 2016 Science Debate: "We cannot take our place as world leader if we are not healthy enough to take care of ourselves… A prosperous America is a much better partner in tackling global problems."
His twin argument is that America is giving too much money away to countries which are downright ungrateful.
He launched his presidential bid with a speech which included the line "we should stop foreign aid to countries that hate us."
He also told the Washington Post: "I watched as we built schools in Iraq and they'd be blown up. And we'd build another one and it would get blown up. And we would rebuild it three times. And yet we can't build a school in Brooklyn."
Perhaps it is no surprise then that USAid is one of those government agencies which has yet to hear from the Trump transition team.
Scott Morris from the Centre for Global Development in Washington says he is troubled already by these early signs, and by Trump's general attitude towards engaging with multilateral bodies.
He also thinks sizeable cuts in this area cannot be discounted.
"Trump could go for the foreign aid budget as a sacrificial lamb very early on - even though the dollars aren't huge," Mr Morris says.
"He could try to deliver something symbolic to show his supporters that he is getting tough and putting America first."
That said, there is strong tradition of bipartisan support for America's commitment helping the world's poorest.
Many Republicans on Capitol Hill may not like the idea of government largesse, but they will be the first to acknowledge that overseas aid makes up less than 1% of the federal budget.
The religious right, too, remains very supportive of humanitarian spending - particularly in global health.
Many evangelicals would agree with the homily of the former Republican Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, on this.
"As Americans we are enormously blessed to live in the greatest country on the globe, and, to whom much is given, much is expected," he said.
Then there is the more pragmatic argument for aid spending - that it helps wins hearts and minds which can never be won by military power alone.
George W Bush's fiercest foreign policy critics argued that his military intervention in Iraq was disastrous for the region and severely damaged America's standing in the world.
But often those same critics are far more complimentary about his record in sub-Saharan Africa because of the HIV/Aids and malaria initiatives which he set up there.
Both of these projects were later adopted and built on by President Obama, who has described such aid as being "a key part of American foreign policy".
Following 9/11, there has been a growing recognition in the Pentagon that the "soft power" of overseas aid helps in the fight against extremism.
If America is seen to be indifferent to, say, the Ebola crisis or a huge earthquake, it can act as a recruiting sergeant for radical groups.
There are some signs that Mr Trump might be persuaded by this argument; that aid and security go hand-in-hand.
In April, he acknowledged on Fox News that "we do help countries that we're not in love with. But if we don't help them, there are going to be bigger problems."
Even if the aid budget stays intact, however, some fear Trump will radically change current priorities.
What about the family planning programmes overseas, for example?
Or projects which help protect the LGBT rights in countries with bad human rights records?
The head of the International Planned Parenthood Federation, Tewodros Melesse, has already warned the president-elect that he should not think of cutting funds for reproductive health in the developing world.
The biggest question mark is whether America will still give money to the Green Climate Fund, which helps developing countries to get to grips with climate change.
George Ingram from the Washington-based Brookings Institution agrees that these environmental initiatives look the most vulnerable, but he thinks experts should start employing more creative strategies to persuade Trump.
"He has demonstrated an ability to shift very quickly when the right person presents the right issue to him in the right way," says Mr Ingram.
"So on climate change, for example, I might bring in the Navy to explain to him how they are dealing with the sea levels rising. I think there's a way to get to Trump on that issue."
Of course, much will also depend on what comes out of the new president's mouth on the tricky issues facing the world.
Will, for example, he still persist in claiming that Syrian refugee programmes are a "Trojan Horse" for terrorists?
America's outward-looking values on humanitarian issues are part of its leadership role in the world.
If the US becomes more isolationist, less generous to the world's poorest and less welcoming, it might end up damaging the more positive parts of its image - symbolised by Lady Liberty and her shining torch.
Other countries could then step in to fill that soft power vacuum.
If nothing else, as a competitive businessman, Mr Trump might find that diminution of a powerful global brand is rather concerning.

American Bill Kochevar, who was paralysed from the shoulders down in a cycling accident, said he was "wowed" to regain control of his right arm.
Watch Ricky's report to find out more about this incredible story.
Pictures from Case Western Reserve University.
Ben Stokes made 47 not out and Chris Woakes sealed the win with 13 balls to spare with a glorious straight six.
Opener Sam Billings impressed with 62 and Ben Duckett hit four fours and a six in his 63.
Spinner Adil Rashid claimed an ODI-best 4-43 in Bangladesh's 277-6, inspired by Mushfiqur Rahim's unbeaten 67.
It was an impressive chase from England, whose top three had a mere 14 appearances between them, compared to the 250 between Bangladesh's top three.
The tourists now turn their attention to Test cricket, with back-to-back two-day warm-up matches this week before the first Test begins on 20 October.
Reaction - Stokes targets top of ODI rankings
A new opening partnership of James Vince and Billings quickly put England ahead of the rate in their chase under the floodlights.
Vince (32) played fluently once again but it was the kind of promising, yet unsubstantial, innings that cost him his Test place.
Billings, however, scored all around the wicket with some cleanly struck shots and the tourists were 10 runs ahead of Bangladesh at the same point when the Kent batsman picked out deep square-leg in the 25th over.
Northants left-hander Duckett, 21, the first player to win the Professional Cricketers' Association Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards in the same year, reined in his natural inclination for the reverse sweep.
He also used his feet to excellent effect to play straight down the ground and reached 60 for the second time in his maiden international series.
There was also judicious use of the improvisational, but a delicate leg flick was superbly snaffled by a diving Mushfiqur with 99 still needed.
The powerhouse middle order of Stokes and skipper Jos Buttler looked to be guiding England to a comfortable victory with a stand of 48 in seven overs that prompted parts of the passionate crowd to head for the exits, but the captain was one of two wickets to fall in 12 balls.
Woakes was dropped at slip with 21 still needed, but in between the errant strokes he played some masterful shots - none better than the majestic lofted drive that settled the contest.
Having been dismissed for a mere 204 at Dhaka in the previous match, England were in danger of a first ODI series defeat by Bangladesh.
The Tigers, who played their first international in March 1986, lost their first 12 one-day matches against England but had won four of their past six against them going into the decider.
They were also seeking a sixth successive home one-day series victory and began in confident fashion after being invited to bat first, Tamim Iqbal (45) becoming the first Bangladesh batsman to 5,000 ODI runs and sharing 80 in 19 overs with Imrul Kayes (46).
While England's 20 overs of spin yielded 5-85, the decision to employ four seamers was hardly vindicated by 1-185 in 30 overs.
Rashid claimed four wickets in an innings for the fourth time and finished as the leading wicket-taker for the series with 10, though it often proved to be his less impressive deliveries - rather than the fantastical Shane Warne-style fizzing leg breaks turning square - that brought him success.
Mushfiqur and Mosaddek Hossain added 50 in the final five overs to ensure a competitive total but, although wickets fell at regular intervals, England's batting depth proved decisive.
After the drama of Dhaka, when Buttler was reprimanded for the vehemence of his reaction to taunts from the Bangladesh fielders and two home players were fined, there were no scenes of a similar nature.
A potentially explosive moment when bowler Mashrafe Mortaza collided with Billings pursuing a run was settled amicably after a brief exchange of views.
England captain Jos Buttler: "In tough conditions, physically and mentally, we've stood up as a young side, and to come away with a series win is just reward for that.
"Ben Stokes showed great leadership to take the onus on and be the man there at the end."
England coach Trevor Bayliss on Sky Sports: "Bangladesh are putting together a good young team and are difficult to beat on home turf.
"We played some good cricket. Our two most inexperienced batters top-scored and batted very, very well. For a young team to come away with a win is fantastic."
Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza: "The toss was the real factor. England's bowlers got turn. Our spinners had a lot of dew so couldn't turn the ball.
"Until the end we fought it out. But England were too good. They played really well. All credit to England."
BBC Radio 5 live's Charles Dagnall:
A thrilling end to what has been an absorbing one-day series. It has been keenly contested, with plenty of fiery moments but some great skill on show from both teams.
England will take heart that Ben Duckett and makeshift opener Sam Billings both scored half-centuries - remember England were missing Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Joe Root and Eoin Morgan.
But Ben Stokes batted with great maturity, keeping the scoreboard ticking with the odd lusty blow thrown in, and his innings came when the game could have gone either way.
Adil Rashid would have bowled far better in picking up four wickets, and as a bowling unit it was probably their poorest outing, but overall an excellent win.
The sperm whale was found at about 07:30 GMT at Hunstanton on Thursday. Rescuers kept the bull comfortable and hoped it would refloat when the tide came in, but it died at about 20:00.
Scientist Rob Deaville said it had "died fairly quickly" and there would have been little chance of saving it.
His team examined the whale earlier.
Samples taken from the carcass will now be taken to a laboratory for testing.
It is the 30th sperm whale to have died this year after becoming stranded on beaches in northern Europe and the east coast of England.

They are thought to have all been from the same bachelor pod.
Marine conservationists said it was possible the male whales, which normally live off the west coast of Norway, could have taken a wrong turn into the North Sea, while heading south to find females or been lured by food.
Mr Deaville, from the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme - which examines all whale, dolphin and porpoise strandings in the UK - took samples from the Hunstanton earlier.
Beached whale: How the story unfolded
He said it could takes months to "try and work out why these whales have come into the North Sea in the first place".
"There are many possible reasons and we're keeping a very open mind about the whole investigation."
"This is the question everyone is asking."
But Mr Deaville, who has examined all six sperm whales that washed up on the east coast, says the answer may never be known.
"We'll be working very closely with our German, Dutch and French colleagues, gathering data about what might have been going on in the north Atlantic to potentially - potentially - bring them into the North Sea."
There are currently two schools of thought, he says:
The second theory is "more worrying because that would suggest there's a systemic problem out there in the north Atlantic," Mr Deaville says.
"If that's the case this isn't the end of what we might see.
"Potentially there'll be more coming in, and that is more concerning. I hope that isn't the case.
"In a way the first is the better outcome because that would suggest there's a finite number of whales in the North Sea."
Mr Deaville, who arrived at the beach between Old Hunstanton and Holme-next-the-Sea moments after the whale died, said seeing the 14m-long (46ft) bull had "quite an emotional impact" on him.
"This dim shape appeared out of the gloom. You got closer and closer and there was this whale, lying on its side on the sand... it had been alive just an hour earlier."
Asked if the whale had suffered, he said: "No doubt it probably was suffering on shore, but it was probably very compromised by being stranded for such a long time.
"There would be no chance of being refloated or rescued, which is what a lot of people hoped would happen - and it wouldn't have been a good outcome here.
"So probably the best outcome in terms of the welfare of the whale is that it died fairly quickly."

Rome, Miami, Beijing and Rio de Janeiro are also among the eight cities so far named as sites for races in 2014.
Alejandro Agag, chief executive of Formula E Holdings, said it was currently working on "the feasibility and design of the street circuits".
London Mayor Boris Johnson said it was a "scintillating concept".
In total 10 cities will host the first championship and formal agreements will be finalised by July.
The race will feature cars that are powered only by electric energy.
Mr Johnson, said: "Zero emission world class motor racing is a scintillating concept and I am hugely keen that London be involved in the birth of Formula E.
"It has the potential to highlight the impressive strides being made in the manufacture of electric vehicles and hosting a street race could also be of considerable economic benefit to our city."
Mr Agag said: "The fact that cities from all over the world are interested in the FIA Formula E Championship is extremely heartening and shows a global commitment to clean mobility and sustainability.
"They will all be in city centres, easily accessible by public transport, and will feature some of the most beautiful and well-known landmarks as a spectacular backdrop for the races."
Two separate religious services were held on Good Friday at the Dublin Unitarian Church in memory of "the dead of two conflicts in Ireland".
The names of the 485 people who died during the rising were read out at 11:15 local time on Friday morning.
At noon, for the 16th year, the names of more than 3,500 Troubles victims were also read out.
They included the latest victim. Adrian Ismay, the prison officer who was murdered earlier this month in a dissident republican bomb attack in east Belfast.
A statement from the church said: "This double act of commemoration is the only religious service of its kind in Ireland."
It added: "These readings illustrate powerfully the terrible, random nature of death in war and civil conflict. All human life and death is in these mournful lists."
The names included Irish rebels, British soldiers, IRA members, loyalist paramilitaries, policemen and women, prison officers, civil rights marchers, judges and civilians, including many children.
It is the 16th year that the Dublin church has held a "reading of the names" service for all those who died as a result of the Northern Ireland conflict.
The tradition was started by the Reverend Chris Hudson, a leading member of the Peace Train movement, and has been continued by the current minister, the Reverend Bridget Spain.
She said a number of people who lost loved ones in the Troubles travel to the church every year to hear their names read out.
The congregation and members of the public were invited to take part in reciting the list.
Friday's ceremony was attended by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Councillor Críona Ní Dhálaigh from Sinn Féin, along with historians, broadcasters, campaign groups and relatives of those who died.
The Unitarian Church is on St Stephen's Green - a public park in the centre of the Irish capital that became a battleground during the Easter Rising.
It is affiliated to both the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland (Northern Ireland) and the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches in the UK.
However, it describes itself as "not governed by either" and "an autonomous body in its own right" where the emphasis is on personal faith.

Mr Ochoa, who said he had been inspired by Gandhi, wants social, political and agricultural change.
A series of corruption scandals forced the resignation of Vice President Roxana Baldetti last month.
Wearing a straw hat and a Guatemalan flag around his neck like a cape, Mr Ochoa, known as "Quixote", left his home city of Quetzaltenango a week ago.
He said he was joining a growing movement of Guatemalans who have been demanding the resignation of President Otto Perez Molina.
Mr Ochoa was on hunger strike during his journey, only drinking tea and juices. He got blisters on his feet and said he lost more than 4kg (9lbs) in weight.
In the capital, he called on all Guatemalans to rise against impunity and allegedly corrupt politicians who have enriched themselves with public money.
President Perez Molina, who has the backing of the army, says he has done nothing wrong and will not leave office before his term expires next January.
Trouble flared at Carlisle United's Brunton Park on 15 October last year as the Cumbrians hosted Hartlepool United.
Luke Hodgson, 18, Stephen Neaves, 25, and Carl Swan, 24, all of Carlisle, pleaded guilty to football-related public order offences.
Malcolm Turner, 56 and also of Carlisle, was spared a ban by city magistrates despite throwing a punch.
He also admitted the charge but was fined £261 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge after mitigating factors were taken into consideration.
Hodgson, Neaves and Swan were ordered to pay £170 costs and also sentenced to a mix of community orders and curfews.
Manx politicians voted 24-9 in favour of its introduction following nearly two hours of debate in Tynwald on Wednesday.
Chris Thomas MHK, who voted against the move, said it was "wrong and unfair".
From 1 April, all Isle of Man households on mains sewerage will have to pay the annual £50 fee.
The Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority also said the charge would rise to £100 next year.
It claims the levy is needed following a "reduction in its revenue grant".
Chairman John Houghton MHK said there was "no alternative" to the charge.
Spokeswoman for the petition, Amy Burns, said: "If half the population had signed the petition, it would have gone through anyway.
"It seems the public's voice doesn't matter."
The Isle of Man's Chief Minister Allan Bell said "cuts have to be made".
A petition containing 6,314 signatures - 11% of the electorate - was presented to politicians ahead of the announcement of the Isle of Man budget on Tuesday.
The metal fell to $4,955 a tonne, just $100 above the level it reached in 2009 in the wake of the financial crisis.
Demand for copper, which is used across industry from construction to car manufacturing, has suffered from the slowing Chinese economy.
Investment bank Goldman Sachs warned investors this week that prices would continue to fall.
In a note entitled, "Copper's bear cycle still has years to run", its analysts predicted copper prices would probably drop to $4,800 a tonne by the end of December and to $4,500 by the end of next year.
The decline in copper is only a part of a global meltdown in commodity prices caused by China's economic downturn.
The depth of the slump was emphasised on Monday when shares in commodities trader and miner Glencore dived 30%.
Four years after the group went public in the UK's biggest stockmarket flotation, analysts at Investec warned that weak commodity prices could lead to the firm's equity value being "eliminated".
Crude oil has fallen some 60% from June last year, thermal coal has been on a long 60% slide since 2011, and iron ore is down even more, close to 70% since 2010.
The effects are rippling out into other sectors. On Tuesday, Japanese shipping business Daiichi Chuo Kisen Kaisha filed for protection from creditors, caused by the collapse in Chinese demand for iron ore and coal.
Unsurprisingly the collapse sent a shiver through the rest of the Japanese shipping sector. Nippon Yusen, Mitsui OSK Lines, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha saw their shares fall between 4% and 8%.
And the effects spread far wider than the mining companies and their support services.
Any economy dependent on commodity exports is seeing its currency punished.
Australia, whose iron ore, coal, oil and natural gas fuelled the Chinese boom, has seen its dollar lose more than a quarter of its value against the US dollar over the past year.
Chile, where copper makes up 30% of the value of its exports, is expected to announce on Tuesday that public spending, having grown almost 10% last year, will rise by half that amount this year.
Economic growth there has slowed along with the fall in the copper price and a decline in investment in the mining sector.
For smaller countries the effect can be catastrophic.
On Monday, Zambia's currency, the kwacha, fell more than 17% - its biggest one-day fall on record - as prices for its copper exports dived again. Copper accounts for 85% of the country's exports.
The currency recovered on Tuesday but it is down 45% on the year.
It has also been hit by the news that Glencore, the country's second largest employer after the government, might make further cuts at its Mopani Copper Mines there. Last week, it announced it would lay off more than 3,800 workers.
Ratings agency Moody's cut Zambia's sovereign rating on Friday, making it more expensive to borrow in the international markets.

Alongside the reintroduction of turbos and fierce, inter-team rivalry, F1 became fully retro in 2015 when titanium skid blocks were fitted to the underneath of the machines.
The return of sparks may not have solely been about increasing the spectacle of the sport - there was also a safety factor - but there is no doubting that their appearance has been universally welcomed.
Night races, in particular, have been a real treat for the eyes when it comes to sparks - part of BBC F1's list of who (or what) has inspired us this season.
In Bahrain, the first race under floodlights in 2015, Jenson Button failed to make the start of the grand prix because of technical problems, giving him a front-row seat of the lightshow. What he saw thrilled him. "Loving the sparks from the car," he tweeted.
It's been an opinion shared by his fellow drivers, who have not had a bad word to say about the aesthetic addition.
The fireworks by night continued at the Singapore Grand Prix and at the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi.
There is plenty going on behind the scenes of Formula 1 to try to improve the show after another season of Mercedes dominance, but nothing will be more eye-catching than cars spitting hot metal across the tarmac.

Health Secretary Alex Neil said gay and lesbian couples will be able to tie the knot from 31 December.
Couples in an existing civil partnership will also be able to change their relationship to a marriage from 16 December.
MSPs approved the Marriage and Civil Partnership Act at Holyrood earlier this year.
The Scottish government said the move was the right thing to do, but Scotland's two main churches - the Catholic Church and Church of Scotland - are opposed.
The legislation will see religious and belief bodies opting in to perform same-sex marriages, and ministers have stressed that no part of the religious community would be forced to hold such ceremonies in churches.
Mr Neil said the move was an "important signal that our nation is absolutely committed to the same rights for all our citizens".
He added that Hogmanay would be "a proud and no doubt emotional day for many" and said: "I, for one, can't wait."
Those couples who are already in a civil partnership will be able to convert that to a marriage from the earlier date of 16 December, as a minimum notice period of 14 clear days is required for marriage ceremonies.
The Scottish government has pledged that those who convert to a marriage in the first year of the legislation will not be charged to do so.
Mr Neil said: "It is wonderful that same-sex couples can now begin to make plans to have their marriage just as any other couple can.
"This historic legislation had overwhelming support across the Scottish Parliament, demonstrating to the world how importantly Scotland views equality."
Tom French, policy and public affairs co-ordinator for the Equality Network, said: "We are very pleased that after years of campaigning for equal marriage, it is now just weeks away from becoming a reality.
"Today's milestone announcement means that same-sex couples across Scotland will be able to set a date and start planning their weddings.
"With the first ceremonies set to take place on Hogmanay, Scotland can be proud that we will bring in the new year as a fairer and more equal country."
He said December 31 2014 would be "a date that is remembered for many years to come, and a profoundly emotional day for those couples who celebrate their commitment to each other".
He also stressed the importance of the legislation for all Scottish lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people who "grew up in a country where being gay was still criminalised until 1981".
A spokesman for Scotland For Marriage, the umbrella group which spearheaded opposition to the legislation, said there was still a "substantial silent majority" of people who were opposed to same-sex marriage.
He said: "Of course, our parliament has voted and we accept the outcome of the democratic process.
"However, there remains the fact that 80,000 people signed a petition against this legislation. There is a substantial silent majority in this country who take and hold different views from our MSPs.
"These people adopt a viewpoint very much opposed to that of the Holyrood metropolitan elite which took the decision to legislate.
"We hope the views of those opposed to this legislation will continue to be respected in the future." | The BBC's 100 Women season is back on 21 November and this year is bigger and more ambitious than ever before.

Villa supporters, angry at the running of their club, halted the match briefly in the 74th minute by throwing beach balls on to the pitch.
Aleksandar Mitrovic headed wide two good second-half chances for Newcastle.
Sunderland, who beat Chelsea, would relegate Rafael Benitez's side with victory over Everton on Wednesday.
Relive Aston Villa v Newcastle as it happened
Saturday's Premier League drama and reaction
Newcastle's last relegation from the Premier League, seven years ago, was confirmed with a soporific final-day defeat at Aston Villa.
Against opponents in turmoil off the pitch, and without a Premier League point since 6 February on it, Newcastle once again paid a heavy price for lacking adventure at Villa Park.
Benitez's side managed just one shot on target in a dreadful first half, as Papiss Cisse mis-hit a volley into the ground from Vurnon Anita's cross.
They showed a little more urgency in the second half, with Jack Colback firing over a good chance seconds after the the restart, but still not enough to merit a victory.
Mitrovic's introduction as a substitute for the ineffective Cisse saw the visitors begin to create more chances.
Having lobbed over when put through by Cheick Tiote's hooked pass, the Serbia striker headed wide when well placed, before missing the target again from Chancel Mbemba's delivery, while Georginio Wijnaldum's shot was beaten away by keeper Mark Bunn.
The result did extend Newcastle's unbeaten run to five matches, but they now need help from elsewhere to stand any chance of survival.
Aston Villa fans have become increasingly enraged during an embarrassing season, which has featured a series of protests at recent games.
Supporters registered their frustration this time by bringing hundreds of beach balls into Villa Park, and throwing them on to the field to disrupt play.
One first-half Newcastle attack took place with a giant inflatable football inside the six-yard box, but the main protest took place in the 74th minute, a time picked by fans because Villa were founded in 1874.
Amid the chaos, Villa did at least manage to avoid a 12th successive league defeat, which would have beaten the club record set in 1963, and equalled at Watford last weekend.
That they earned a point was thanks in part to Villa defender Ciaran Clark, who threw himself in the way of a late Wijnaldum shot to block.
The Premier League relegation battle is set for a fascinating finale over the next eight days, with former Liverpool manager Benitez now needing a huge favour from Everton.
Roberto Martinez's side can keep alive Newcastle's survival hopes on Wednesday by avoiding defeat at Sunderland, who will relish the opportunity to relegate their great rivals.
Sam Allardyce's team came from a goal down twice to beat Chelsea 3-2 and climb out of the bottom three - and, like relegation rivals Norwich, they have a game in hand on Newcastle.
It leaves the prospect of Benitez, a manager who began this season in charge of Real Madrid, starting next season in the Championship.
Aston Villa caretaker-manager Eric Black: "Last week, the performance at Watford merited more, but we built on that, worked tirelessly all afternoon and the supporters came with us. I thought the reaction was brilliant. The Villa fans have got a big part to play in getting this club back to the Premier League.

"It has been difficult to play in a relegation battle, but we have got some outstanding footballers and I thought we coped with them today."
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez: "We are disappointed. Sunderland won, so all we can do now is wait for the score of their game on Wednesday and try to win our game.

"We were a little bit anxious in the first half. We were not comfortable in possession. You have to take your chances and we didn't do that.

Newcastle end their season at home to Tottenham on 15 May, the same day that Villa bow out of the Premier League at Arsenal.

Livermore, 27, joined Hull initially on loan in August 2013 and moves to the Baggies on a four-and-a-half year deal.
"Jake is a fantastic character and as a player is good enough on the ball but also possesses fantastic energy," said West Brom boss Tony Pulis.
West Brom have also enquired about Watford striker Odion Ighalo, 27.
Read more: Hull sign right-back on loan
Talks are only exploratory at this stage but Ighalo has fallen out of favour at Vicarage Road and is a player long admired by Baggies boss Tony Pulis.
The Nigeria international scored 17 goals in 42 games last season as Watford finished 13th in the top flight and reached the FA Cup semi-final. However, he has managed just two goals in 19 appearances so far this season.
Former Tottenham player Livermore is Pulis' first signing of the January transfer window after the club missed out on Morgan Schneiderlin, who joined Everton from Manchester United.
"I watched him a lot when he was at Tottenham and thought he would go on to establish himself as a top-six player," added Pulis, 59.
"Maybe he has just drifted away a little from that - although having said that two promotions and a Cup final with Hull should not be forgotten. But I believe this lad is a very, very good player."
Pulis' side are eighth in the Premier League ahead of a trip to Sunderland on Saturday. Hull sit 18th after beating Bournemouth in a first league win since November and travel to Chelsea on Sunday.

"This was always going to happen. Don't blame the umpires or the players... blame the ICC. It's an absolute disgrace. An absolute shambles. The final day of the Ashes has ended in a farce. Let's hope that finally those people in Dubai who run the game realise what a mess this is. It's NOT the umpires' fault."
Set a target of 227 by Michael Clarke's ambitious declaration, England needed 21 more from 24 balls with five wickets in hand when play was halted by the umpires at 7.36pm.
The Oval crowd, who had been treated to an incredible final day in which 447 runs were scored and 17 wickets fell, booed in disapproval before gathering to watch England captain Alastair Cook lift the Ashes urn following a 3-0 series win.
England, who have now won three Ashes series in a row for the first time since 1977-1981, celebrated with a lap of honour while fireworks blazed over the pavilion.
Cook said: "It would have been nice to finish with a win but the rules and regulations are there for a reason. The umpires have strict guidelines and, if it was day three, we would have gone off."
Such an absorbing and ultimately controversial conclusion to the series looked unlikely when England began the final day only four wickets down in their first innings.
1st Test: England won by 14 runs, Trent Bridge
2nd Test: England won by 347 runs, Lord's
3rd Test: Match drawn, Old Trafford
4th Test: England won by 74 runs, Chester-le-Street
5th Test: Match drawn, The Oval
But the hosts' aggressive approach on Sunday morning, and Australia's determination to give themselves a chance of a consolation victory, saw Clarke declare his side's second innings on 111-6 at tea and set England a tantalising target in 44 overs.
A partnership of 64 between Cook (34) and Jonathan Trott set England on course before a buccaneering 62 off 55 balls from Kevin Pietersen established the hosts as firm favourites.
After Trott (59) and Pietersen were dismissed in quick succession, Chris Woakes and Ian Bell kept up the pace, but with the light fading rapidly, Australia began to complain.
When Bell was run out by Mitchell Starc for 17, the umpires consulted their light meters, and took the unpopular decision to end the match, denying the full house the finale they desired.
Under International Cricket Council regulations, the umpires were obliged to take the players off once the light had faded to the same level it was when they had stopped play on Thursday evening.
The crowd subsequently jeered the umpires and Clarke during the post-match presentation before applauding Cook's triumphant team as they jogged around the floodlit outfield with flags draped around their shoulders.
Leading run-scorers

418 Shane Watson (Aus) - average 41.80
388 Kevin Pietersen (Eng) - average 38.80
381 Michael Clarke (Aus) - average 47.62
367 Chris Rogers (Aus) - average 40.77
Leading wicket-takers
26 Graeme Swann (Eng) - average 29.03
24 Ryan Harris (Aus) - average 19.58
22 Stuart Broad (Eng) - average 27.45
22 James Anderson (Eng) - average 29.59
17 Peter Siddle (Aus) - average 31.58
The victory margin was their biggest in the Ashes since they won 5-1 in 1978-79 and their best at home since their 3-0 win in 1977 - the last time Australia failed to win a single match against their fiercest rivals.
The result also means England move above India into second place in the ICC Test rankings, while Australia drop below Pakistan into fifth.
After widespread criticism of their obdurate batting on Friday, when they scored 215 runs in 98.3 overs, England set off in far more positive fashion as their final six wickets added 130 in 28.4.
Matt Prior made 47 - his highest score of the series - and Graeme Swann smashed 34 off 24 balls before he was the last man out to give debutant James Faulkner his fourth wicket.
If England's approach had been attacking, then Australia's was an all-out assault as they front-loaded their batting order with big-hitters and set out in pursuit of quick runs.

The result was 111 runs and six wickets in 23 riotous overs, with Stuart Broad taking 4-43 before Clarke, who top-scored with 28 not out, took the decision to declare.
England could easily have batted conservatively to guarantee they finished the series undefeated but they were positive from the outset and would surely have completed a 4-0 victory had the match not been brought to a premature, and farcical conclusion.
"This morning our job was to try and make it as difficult as possible to stop Australia from pushing on for a win and to make our chances of victory easier," added Cook.
"The crowds have been fantastic for all five Tests and I'm privileged to captain this group of guys. Winning this series is the proudest moment of my life."
Set against the backdrop of the Drumlanrig Castle Estate near Thornhill, the multi-stage event takes place on Saturday.
The line-up showcases both emerging and established Scottish talent.
King Creosote headlines a bill which features more than 30 artists ranging from hip-hop outfit Hector Bizerk to nine-piece ska collective, Esperanza.
There's also a strong local contingent including Finding Albert, Barstow Bats, Cammy Black and What About Wolves.
Waving rainbow flags, hundreds took the short march through empty streets.
Authorities had cancelled the event every year since marchers were attacked in 2010 - nine years after Gay Pride was first held in Belgrade.
Serbia is keen to show increasing tolerance as it seeks to join the EU, the BBC's Guy De Launey says.
Keeping Brussels happy is undoubtedly the motivation for allowing the Gay Pride march to go ahead, our correspondent in Belgrade says.
Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic had announced he would not attend the event due to prior engagements - but also made it clear he would not have gone even if he had been free.
Our correspondent says that reflects widespread feelings in Serbia.
The patriarch of the influential Orthodox Church has condemned the event.
Two-thirds of respondents to a survey four years ago said they viewed homosexuality as a disease.
But Sunday's march took place without incident, with marchers blowing whistles as a police helicopter flew over them.
Participants marched through the centre of the city to the National Assembly, where ambassadors from numerous European countries addressed the crowd.
"I feel phenomenal. Our efforts of the past three years have borne fruit," organiser Boban Stojanovic told Reuters news agency.
On Saturday evening, anti-gay rights campaigners demonstrated in the capital in anticipation of the Gay Pride march on Sunday.
But the influence of the far right has declined in recent years, our correspondent says, and several government ministers have spoken in favour of the march.
Earlier in September a German LGBT ( lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) rights speaker was treated in hospital after being beaten in Belgrade.
In response to the attack, Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said: "We will not allow this kind of thing to remain unpunished."
The march in 2010 was the only gay pride parade to go ahead in the Serbian capital since 2001.
Labour says ministers are showing a "dangerous misunderstanding" of issues facing schools in England.

"I am a Conservative Party activist and married to a primary school teacher. I have two kids going to a new free school. I am very against opening new grammar schools.
"Education is paid for by the taxpayer and so should therefore be uniformly excellent in all state schools. With technology this may one day be achievable.
"Would anybody want a two-tier health service, police force or fire brigade? The answer is no. We should not have this in state education.
"Grammar schools benefit the middle and wealthy classes as those are the people who can pay for tutoring. This is a fact and it outrages me that some in the Conservative Party ignore this.
"I speak to some people who are massively pro-grammar schools purely from the perspective that they see it as saving £15,000 a year on private school education. They would throw the kitchen sink at their kids - by tutoring them - to get them to pass the 11-plus.
"The wealthy and middle classes already have private schools and a postcode lottery that works in their favour, so why give them a third option?
"A better model is streaming or a competitive environment in state comprehensive schools."
Scott Greenwood, 50, Greenwich, London
"The standard of non-grammars is not high enough. I agree that all schools should improve - but how long will that take? Should my son's education suffer whilst they try to sort out the problems?
"My son is 11 and has just started at a grammar school. He was lucky, he was able to take the 11-plus for a school in Kent as there aren't any in Greenwich.
"We did pay for extra tuition, but we also found the time to give him home tuition and installed a real work ethic into him. All the hard work he put in has paid off.
"And he was very keen to go to a grammar school even though most of his friends were going to a different school up the road.
"When we took him to see various schools, he could see the extra subjects and opportunities available at the grammar.
"If he went to a non-grammar he would be so far ahead of most of the other kids that the teachers wouldn't be able to give him the push he needs.
"If we educate all our children to mediocre standards then who will become a doctor, lawyer or a politician? They will only be fit to do menial jobs and not have the skills to become leaders or scientists and push the boundaries."
Maggie Craig, 60, Croydon, Surrey
"I am the middle child, my elder brother and younger sister passed their 11-plus. I failed and went to the comprehensive school.
"After that I felt like a failure. I felt like I was the stupid one in the family. At the time, the view in society was that if you didn't go to a grammar school you had to do the more menial jobs.
"When I left school I felt I had less options and of course I wasn't able to take the same exams as my siblings, doing CSEs instead of O-levels.
"I still had a good time at school and was top of my classes there. But my brother and sister had more chances to go abroad on school trips. I felt I was missing out.
"Later, after I was married and had children I did evening classes to better myself. I had been working in catering for many years but I wanted to get better work. After the classes I got a job in administration.
"It would be stupid to bring grammar schools back and make so many children feel like failures. You shouldn't have to take a test at the age of 11."
Denise Taylor, 72, Merseyside
"I attended a grammar school, I went to university, I became a teacher and then head teacher of a secondary school.
"My parents were very working class, we lived in a council house and we were poor - but they valued education and encouraged me to do well at school.
"At the grammar school there was a strong ethos of achievement and a work ethic which was not disturbed by poor behaviour and disruption of learning in lessons.
"This is the strength of grammar schools. Quite simply the children want to learn, they want work and they do achieve.
"Removal of this from poor working class children with ability has considerably reduced their chances of a good education.
"However, the downside of this for the children who do not secure a place - or who do not have the ability to do so - is unacceptable. Any increase in selection should be accompanied by appropriate support for the education of these children.
"The most important thing for a successful education is the support of parents for the school and the provision of classes with good behaviour and good teaching. This is what grammar schools provide."
Pauline Messenger, 67, Norfolk
"Living in Buckinghamshire, as I did then, my own daughter had access to the grammar school system.
"She attended a highly-respected local grammar, where she gained an excellent education, leading to further education opportunities at university.
"I attended a grammar school in Islington, London and my past experiences there recommended the whole grammar school ethos to me.
"Born into a poor locality, living in a council flat, my grammar school provided me with the opportunity to 'better' myself and have access to a better, greatly improved way of life and better career.
"I very much feel other children from similar backgrounds should have those opportunities.
"For those children with high ability, it is good for them to be in a class along with others possessing equal learning ability because everyone then moves along at the same pace and no-one is held back."

But George Nobbs, Labour leader of Norfolk County Council, leading the campaign, has admitted that the proposals are "flawed".
The mayor would look after transport, strategic planning and skills training in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
MPs and other councils in the three counties have criticised plans.
Mr Nobbs said: "There are lots of things to be said for this scheme, and lots of things to be said against it."
Liberal Democrat Group leader Marie Strong questioned the need for a directly-elected mayor.
"We were told the role of mayor was optional; when did it become compulsory?" she asked.
Mr Nobbs replied: "We were told by ministers it's that or nothing."
Conservative group leader Cliff Jordan said the plans so far had generated "a lot of confusion".
The plan is for the mayor to be chosen by voters in the three counties in May next year. He or she will have the power to increase business rates to fund infrastructure projects.
The mayor will be answerable to a cabinet made up of nominees from the 23 local councils.
Some Conservative MPs from the region have said the idea of an elected mayor is not popular with many people, while others said the money on offer - £1bn over 30 years - is "not much".
The Department for Communities and Local Government said: "We are committed to the deal and will continue to work with all the councils. Councils in East Anglia have until June to decide if they want to take part in this historic opportunity."
The 70-7 vote in favour of proceeding with negotiations over devolution masks the fact that nearly every councillor who spoke expressed serious reservations about the plans for a combined authority and directly-elected mayor for Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
"I don't believe an elected mayor is good for Norfolk; I don't believe it's what people want," said Conservative councillor Bill Borrett.
"We were told that the Mayor was optional; when did it become compulsory," asked Marie Strong, the leader of the Liberal Democrat group.
"Why can't we have a referendum, why can't the people of Norfolk vote if they want a mayor or not?" asked UKIP councillor Colin Aldred.
Labour's George Nobbs replied that ministers had made it clear, it was a mayor or no deal.
Mr Nobbs admitted he was doing his best "to sell a pig's ear". "These plans are flawed and they are far from perfect," he said.
He believes that with the extra money and powers on offer, it is worth continuing with the negotiations.
The only councillor in favour was Labour's Mick Castle who said people in London had been suspicious of a mayor but had come round to the idea.
Norfolk joins Cambridgeshire County Council in making it very clear that it is not happy with the deal currently on offer. The negotiations will continue but with the government wanting this to be agreed by all 23 councils by the end of June, there is not very long to go.
East Anglian devolution looks far from certain.
The country was declared free of the virus on 7 November, and the region as a whole was cleared when Liberia was pronounced Ebola-free on Thursday.
Tests on a person who died in northern Sierra Leone proved positive, an Ebola test centre spokesman told the BBC.
The WHO has warned, however, that more flare-ups are expected.
How Ebola changed the world
Mapping Ebola
The Sierra Leone death occurred earlier this week.
Ebola test centre spokesman Sidi Yahya Tunis told the BBC that the patient had died in the Tonkolili district. He had travelled there from Kambia, close to the border with Guinea.
The tests were conducted by British health experts. The BBC's Umaru Fofana in the capital Freetown said health officials were now urgently seeking those who had come into contact with the victim.
Close to 4,000 people have died of Ebola in Sierra Leone, and 11,000 people across the region, since December 2013.
Liberia was the last country to see the end of active transmission of Ebola. But it had been declared clear twice before, only for the infection to re-emerge.
A country is considered free of human-to-human transmission once two 21-day incubation periods have passed since the last known case tested negative for a second time.

Organisers want more police presence in Levenshulme, Manchester, following the attack on the 31-year-old at Cringle Park shortly before midday on Monday.
The march followed a similar event in the area after a 12-year-old girl was raped in a nearby park in September.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it had "increased patrols in the area" and was "doing everything in our power" to find Monday's attacker.
However Pauline Johnston, from the Love Levenshulme community group, said: "I don't think what they've done has been sufficient at all."
"We want patrols to be stepped up day in and day out, not just reactively."
One marcher said: "We work really hard to make it a beautiful place for everybody to share and we won't have people frightened out of it."
Another participant commented: "I don't think anyone should be scared to walk through their own park, especially in broad daylight."

Zakaria Bulhan, of south-west London, has been charged with the murder of Darlene Horton, 64, and the attempted murder of five other people.
Two women and three men were injured in the attack on Wednesday.
Mr Bulhan - a Norwegian national of Somali origin - appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
He appeared without legal representation and sat hunched throughout the short hearing with his hand over his mouth.
As the names of the victims were read out in court he held his face in his hands.
When asked if he understood the charges, he nodded giving the judge a thumbs-up gesture.
Mrs Horton had been visiting London with her husband Richard Wagner, who was teaching summer classes.
Florida State University said the couple had planned to return to their home in Tallahassee on Thursday - the day after the attack.
The university's president, John Thrasher, said "there are no words to express our heartache".
A British man who suffered a stab wound to his stomach in the attack remains in hospital in a "serious but stable" condition.
An American man, an Australian man, an Australian woman and an Israeli woman were all discharged from hospital on Thursday, following treatment for their injuries.
Mr Bulhan was remanded in custody until 9 August.
Lock Iain Henderson and winger Craig Gilroy scored the tries for the win which effectively ends any hope Leinster had of making the play-offs.
Leinster had made a superb start with a Ben Te'o try helping them go 10-0 up in the seventh minute.
But they did not score again and Ulster went on to beat their Irish rivals for the first time in four attempts.
The result puts Ulster at the top of the table, at least overnight, and means Leinster's season is effectively over.
It had all started so well for Leinster as they pushed deep into Ulster territory and benefitted from an early penalty strike from Jimmy Gopperth.
After six minutes, things got even better for the visitors as they sought to rescue their already fragile-looking play-off hopes, when Te'o smashed through some weak tackling to score. Gopperth added the extras and Leinster were 10-0 up and looking comfortable.
Ulster needed to respond and they got over the line with Henderson. Ruan Pienaar converted his 12th-minute effort and then added a penalty shortly afterwards to tie the scores.
There then followed a moment of controversy after Henderson was tip-tackled by Sean O'Brien with referee John Lacey and the television match official opting for a yellow card for the Ireland flanker instead of the red one the home crowed were baying for.
Ulster, though, failed to score during O'Brien's absence, but did take the lead just before half-time through another Pienaar penalty.
Midway through the second half, Rob Kearney was sin-binned, giving Pienaar a 63rd-minute penalty which he duly slotted to stretch the lead to 16-10.
Three minutes later the South African nailed a monster effort from just inside Leinster's half and the home side now had a nine-point lead.
Leinster's dismal night was completed with eight minutes remaining when a huge Ulster power play off a scrum on Leinster's line ultimately saw Gilroy dance through for his 11th Pro12 try of the season.
Pienaar converted to make it 26-10 and the game ended with 14-man Ulster - replacement prop Andy Warwick had been binned - defending their line as if their lives depended on it.

Jeanette Manfra of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refused to identify the states during her testimony before a Senate panel, citing confidentiality agreements.
But she added there was no evidence to suggest actual vote ballots were altered in the election hack.
US intelligence agencies believe Moscow interfered to help Donald Trump win.
Ms Manfra, the department's acting deputy undersecretary of cyber security, testified on Wednesday before the Senate Intelligence committee, which is investigating Russia's alleged meddling in the 2016 election.
"As of right now, we have evidence that election-related systems in 21 states were targeted," she told the panel.
She said DHS still had confidence in the US voting system because they are "fundamentally resilient".
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied any involvement in election cyber hacks while Mr Trump has dismissed allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia as "fake news".
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday refused to say whether Mr Trump believes Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
"I have not sat down and talked to him about that specific thing," Mr Spicer said during a daily news briefing.
"Obviously we've been dealing with a lot of other issues today. I'd be glad to touch base."
Senator Mark Warner, a top Democrat on the panel, argued on Wednesday the country was "not any safer" in concealing which states were hit in the hack.
Both Arizona and Illinois last year confirmed that their voter registration systems had been attacked by hackers.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio also expressed concern, adding that as the investigation continues "it is important Americans understand how our voting systems work and communicate that in real time".
Ms Manfra's comments echoed earlier testimony by Samuel Liles, acting director of the DHS cyber division.
Mr Liles told Congress DHS detected hacking activities last spring and summer and later received reports of cyber probing of election systems.
But he added: "None of these systems were involved in vote tallying."
Mr Liles also said "a small number of networks were exploited - they made it through the door."
Supporters heading towards the Etihad Stadium before Manchester City's Premier League game against Tottenham on Saturday were heard chanting the abuse on a tram.
The chants were apparently directed at Spurs supporters.
Officers said they were treating the chanting, footage of which has been widely shared online, as a hate crime.
Among the chants, a group of men are heard singing about gas chambers in a reference to the Holocaust.
Supt Steve Howard said: "Greater Manchester Police have been made aware of a video showing people chanting anti-Semitic songs.
"This has yet to be formally reported to police, however we have now launched an investigation and we are treating this as a hate crime.
"We would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident or has video footage to contact police as soon as possible.
"There is no place in society for such abhorrent behaviour."
Most Tottenham fans are not Jewish, but the club has a historical association with London's Jewish community.
The Equalities Act would also be reformed to tackle discrimination against people with mental health problems, the party has pledged.
The party is also promising 10,000 more staff working in NHS mental health treatment by 2020.
Labour said the Tories appeared to be offering no extra funding.
The Conservatives say the plans are motivated by the concern that "vulnerable people are being subject to detention, including in police cells, unnecessarily" as numbers of people detained or "sectioned" under the Mental Health Act have risen.
The charity Mind has previously called for a review of the Act, which allows people with mental health problems to be detained for treatment against their will.
Labour rules out tax rises for 95% of earners
Lib Dems pledge winter fuel cuts to protect pensions
People detained under section two of the Act cannot refuse hospital treatment - although some forms of treatment can be given only with a patient's consent - and can be held for up to 28 days.
Paul Farmer, Mind's chief executive said: "One in four of us will experience a mental health problem each year, so every parliamentary candidate from every party needs to accept and embrace mental health as a key issue for their constituency."
The charity said a rising number of detentions under the Act could be sign of growing pressure on mental health services.
Labour accused the Tory government of failing mental health patients.
Shadow mental health minister Barbara Keeley said: "The Tories have not delivered on their promise to give mental health the same priority as physical health.
"They appear to be offering no extra funding and have consistently raided mental health budgets over the last seven years.
"Warm words from the Tories will not help to tackle the injustice of unequal treatment in mental health."
Mental health still a workplace taboo

Watch: "A message to my mental illness..."
Prime Minister Theresa May said: "On my first day in Downing Street last July, I described shortfalls in mental health services as one of the burning injustices in our country.
"Today I am pledging to rip up the 1983 Act and introduce in its place a new law which finally confronts the discrimination and unnecessary detention that takes place too often."
The plans would also see all primary and secondary schools in England and Wales provided with mental health first aid training for staff.
Large organisations would be required to have mental health first aid-trained staff on hand, in addition to the current requirement for physical health first aid training.
Liberal Democrat health spokesman, and former health minister, Norman Lamb said: "I proposed reforms to the Mental Health Act in a Green Paper in March 2015.
"It was designed to give new rights to people. The Conservatives have sat on it for two years, so forgive me if I have little faith in their desire to reform."
He added: "The Conservatives have set themselves against any tax rise so the promise to employ 10,000 additional staff is based on thin air."
The Conservative Party said "funding for mental health services is currently at record levels - and up by £1.4 billion in real terms by 2020."
The two talked on their arrival in Monaco on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's race and Hamilton said the incident was in the past.
"It's fine," said Hamilton. "In the past, there would have been tension but there was just pure respect.
"I said, 'I still have all the respect for you,' and he said the same."
Hamilton added: "It doesn't change anything about how we approach racing."
BBC Radio 5 live In Short: Me & Rosberg are cool - Hamilton
That is a change from the aftermath of previous incidents between the two, after which there has been lingering bad feeling.
Asked why it was different now, Hamilton said: "It is always good to discuss things. As a team we did, in Barcelona and then at the factory I guess individually, and then Nico and I spoke just now.
"But I didn't feel we had to, because there is no issue. we just move on, there is nothing you can do about the past."
He added: "We didn't talk through the incident. We don't need to. We know what happened. We experienced it. We know how we felt about it before.
"We are not like the more emotional beings on the planet who talk about things, we don't do that.
"We arrived very cool and chilled and spoke. All we need to know is the respect is still there and we are going to keep racing. And that's all we had to say.
"We have a long career left with racing with another. You have to assume there is going to be more but we are competitors and we're racing.
"There are going to be lots of close encounters and we are just going to try our best that affects our results. Every scenario is different. This is the one we are faced with now. We are getting past it in a positive manner."
In contrast, Rosberg refused to say whether he and Hamilton had discussed the incident and its aftermath.
"If we have spoken or not, that needs to be kept internal," he said. "But it is a thing of the past now.
"I am going to take the same approach as always and do what's necessary to try to win this grand prix, which is what I have come here to do."
Hamilton is 43 points behind Rosberg heading into the Monaco weekend after a difficult start to the season, and has not won a race since he clinched the title at the US Grand Prix last October.
He said: "If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, there will be many more opportunities. There are opportunities still there.
"There are still 16 races and you have to look at that. The glass, rather than it being half full is 10% full. And there is still the rest of that to fill up."

Kim Davis has said that her Christian faith should exempt her from signing the licenses.
The US Supreme Court declared gay marriage legal in June.
After interviewing her fellow clerks, the judge said Ms Davis could go free if she allowed her deputies to grant the licences, but Davis refused.
Ms Davis, an elected official in Rowan County, has said the Supreme Court's ruling conflicts with her beliefs as a born-again Christian.
"You can't be separated from something that's in your heart in your soul," Ms Davis said. "I promised to love Him with all my heart, mind and soul because I wanted to make heaven my home."
US District Judge David Bunning said he had "no alternative" but to jail her, because issuing fines would not change her mind.
"Her good faith belief is simply not a viable defence," said Mr Bunning. "Mrs Davis took an oath. Oaths mean things."
He added that letting one person's beliefs supersede the authority of the court would be a dangerous example to set.
Ms Davis' lawyer, Mat Staver, said: "The judge said that he's going to bring her back out in another week and see if she's changed her mind. But knowing Kim Davis, she's a woman of strong conviction and conscience and I don't see her changing her mind."
Ms Davis' lawyer had claimed that her deputy clerks could only issues licenses under Davis' authority, but the judge overruled that objection.
Five deputy clerks told the judge on Thursday they would comply with the court order. A sixth deputy clerk, Ms Davis' son, Nathan, refused.
The judge decided not to hold Nathan Davis in contempt of court.
Hundreds of protesters lined up outside of the federal courthouse on Thursday, chanting and waving signs both of support and opposition.
Local reporters tweeted photos of the two different camps in close quarters outside of the courthouse.
Protesters screamed "Love won! Love won!" outside of the courthouse after learning of the decision.
Ms Davis stopped issuing marriage licenses to all couples in June after the legalisation of gay marriage, turning couples away repeatedly.
The US Supreme Court on Monday rejected the argument that her faith prevented her from carrying out her duty.
"I have no animosity toward anyone and harbour no ill will. To me this has never been a gay or lesbian issue. It is about marriage and God's word," she said in a statement.
She can only be removed from her position if the Kentucky legislature impeaches her because she is an elected official.
Various 2016 Republican presidential candidates, like Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Marco Rubio, have come out in support of Ms Davis' decisions.
Others like Carly Fiorina, Senator Lindsey Graham and Ohio Governor John Kasich have said she must do her job and comply with the law.

The CCTV film, taken from the train near Downhill Strand, shows a beach lifeguard waving to the train to warn the driver about the two pedestrians.
The footage shows the pair running from the train. They were not hit and only received some scratches in the incident.
Translink, which operates buses and trains in Northern Ireland, released the July 2015 footage as part of a campaign to raise awareness over the risk of trespassing onto rail tracks.
It said there were other near misses in September, including one involving a young person near Jordanstown, County Antrim.
The company said there were 304 incidents of trespassing on tracks between April and the end of August this year.
Hotspots included areas near Whiteabbey, Antrim and Finaghy.
It said one incident involved three young people "playing chicken on the tracks" at Dunmurry, near Belfast.
"Our trains travel at speeds of up to 90mph and if a driver has to apply the emergency brakes, it will take two-thirds of a mile for the train to stop," said Mark Atkinson, Translink's chief engineer.
"In other words, not even the fastest athlete on the planet could outrun a train."
Walters, 32, sat out training on Wednesday having limped out of Monday's opening draw against Sweden as his recent Achilles problem returned.
The Republic face Belgium in their next Group E game in Bordeaux on Saturday and play Italy in Lille on 22 June.
"He thinks he is going to be able to make the Italian game," O'Neill said.
Walters, the current Republic player of the year, was the only absentee from Wednesday morning's session at the squad's training base in Versailles.
When asked afterwards if Walters had a chance of playing against Belgium, O'Neill admitted: "he is going to be struggling".
"If the game was tomorrow, he wouldn't make it.
"There would have to be a lot of improvement for him to make it.
"We can play without Jon.
"He's been influential in our games, he has probably been our talisman, but if he's not fit we've got a number of players who can step in and do really well for us."
Walters was replaced by James McClean in the 63rd minute, who would be the obvious choice to come into the starting line-up in Bordeaux, if the Stoke City man is ruled out.

O'Neill was upbeat about the team's prospects against Belgium, ranked number two in the world, in the wake of an encouraging performance against Sweden in the Stade de France.
Wes Hoolahan's opener for the Irish was cancelled out by a Ciaran Clark own goal but the manager has taken the positives from the 1-1 draw.
"If that performance doesn't lift you, nothing will.
"We will have to show the same attitude again, go and compete and be strong on the ball."

The shooting happened at about 22:00 GMT on the Tullymore Road.
The victim was taken to hospital for treatment.
His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The Swiss, 35, won 6-2 6-3 to follow up his Australian Open final victory over the Spaniard two months ago, when Federer won his 18th Grand Slam title.
He will next face Australia's Nick Kyrgios, who upset world number two Novak Djokovic 6-4 7-6 (7-3).
Svetlana Kuznetsova was the first player into the women's semis.
The eighth seed saw off fellow Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-3 6-2 and will meet Czech third seed Karolina Pliskova, after she beat Spain's French Open champion Garbine Muguruza 7-6 7-6.
In the pair's 36th meeting - and first before the quarter-finals of a tournament since their initial meeting in Miami 13 years ago - Federer notched his 13th victory and third in a row.
Nadal, 30, had built his success against Federer over the years on attacking the Swiss player's backhand, but Federer turned his weaker wing into a weapon in the Australian Open final, and if anything was even more aggressive in Indian Wells.
Federer crunched six backhand winners to none from Nadal as he played a flawless opening set, taking it in a little over half an hour.
Nadal might have hoped to profit from a surface markedly slower than that in Melbourne but it did nothing to curb Federer's aggressive intent.
Another early break in the second set had Federer within sight of the finish line and he raced through with four breaks of serve to none to win in 68 minutes.
"I did very well today, I'm so pleased I'm able to step into the court and play super aggressive," said Federer. "Coming over the backhand has been part of that."
"It's a nice feeling to win the last three. I can tell you that," added the four-time Indian Wells champion. "But most importantly, I won Australia. That was big for me.
"For me, it was all about coming out and trying to play the way I did in Australia. I didn't think it was going to be that possible, to be quite honest, because the court is more jumpy here so it's hard to put the ball away."
Kyrgios, 21, gave further evidence that he is now a force to be reckoned with as he blunted the Djokovic return game with another magnificent serving performance.
Djokovic, 29, was on a 19-match wining streak in the Californian desert, and bidding for a fourth consecutive title, but Kyrgios took their personal head-to-head to 2-0 as he repeated his victory in their first meeting in Acapulco 12 days ago.
Just as he had in Mexico earlier this month, Kyrgios gave the Serb nothing to work with as he powered through without facing a break point in nearly two hours.
The Australian grabbed the only service break of the match in the opening game, which proved enough to take the first set, and clinched the second after racing into a 3-0 tie-break lead.
"I am serving really well, that is creating chances for me to put pressure on their service games," said the 15th seed.
"My mentality is improving and I am trying really hard to fight for every point and just compete."
Djokovic praised the Australian's serve, adding: "Nick, again, as he did in Acapulco, served so well. I just wasn't managing to get a lot of balls back on his serve, first and second, as well. That's what made a difference."
Japan's fourth seed Kei Nishikori swept past American Donald Young 6-2 6-4, while on the other side of the draw Spanish 21st seed Pablo Carreno Busta and Argentine 27th seed Pablo Cuevas progressed to the quarters.
American 17th seed Jack Sock battled past Malek Jaziri of Tunisia 4-6 7-6 (7-1) 7-5.
Austrian eighth seed Dominic Thiem eased past France's Gael Monfils 6-3 6-2. Thiem will play Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka, after the three-time grand slam champion, laboured for two hours and 13 minutes to get past world number 70 Yoshihito Nishioka, winning in three sets 3-6 6-3 7-6.
Fourth seeds Jamie Murray and Brazilian Bruno Soares made it through to the doubles semi-finals with a 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 win over Dutchman Jean-Julien Rojer and Romania's Horia Tecau.
And despite his absence following a shock early exit, Andy Murray saw his position at the top of the rankings enhanced after Djokovic's defeat.
The Serb lost 990 points as he fell well short of defending his title, while Murray's relatively modest record in Indian Wells meant his early loss only cost him 20 points.
Djokovic will also be defending a title later this month in Miami - another tournament where Murray lost early in 2016.
The people of Iraq are justifiably proud of this ancient heritage and its innovations and impact on the world.
The reported destruction by Islamic State militants at Nimrud, following similar destruction at the site of Nineveh and the Mosul Museum, is an attack on the people of Iraq as well as a tragedy for the world's cultural heritage.
Nimrud was the capital of what many scholars consider the world's first empire, the Neo-Assyrian Empire of the 1st millennium BC.
Lying 35km (22 miles) south of the modern city of Mosul in north Iraq, Nimrud covers some 3.5 sq km (1.35 sq miles), with a prominent "citadel" mound within the city walls, on which are clustered the main administrative and religious buildings.
These buildings include the enormous palaces of several Assyrian kings and the temples of Ninurta, the god of war, and of Nabu, the god of writing.
The site was first established by the 6th millennium BC but was expanded and developed into the ancient imperial city of Kalhu by King Ashurnasirpal II from about 880 BC.
It remained the Assyrian imperial capital until about 700 BC and continued to be an important city until 612 BC and the collapse of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
The Palace of Ashurnasirpal, also known as the North-West Palace, was first excavated by the British explorer Austen Henry Layard in the 1840s. His excavations are the source of the winged bull gatekeeper statues currently displayed in the British Museum.
Layard also recovered large numbers of stone panels that lined the walls of rooms and courtyards within the palace. These panels are of a local limestone, carved in low relief with beautifully detailed scenes of the king seated at state banquets, hunting lions, or engaged in warfare and religious ritual.
Extended excavations at Nimrud were next carried out in the 1950s-60s by Max Mallowan, the husband of crime writer Agatha Christie.
Mallowan and his team reconstructed the complex plans of the palace, temples and citadel, and his excavations recovered rich finds of carved ivory furniture, stone jars and metalwork, as well as hundreds of additional wall reliefs and wall paintings.
Near the entrance to the palace's throne room, Mallowan also discovered a free-standing stone slab, which depicted the king in a pose of worship and included a long text in Assyrian cuneiform that described the construction of the palace and its surrounding gardens.
The text's details of precious metal door fittings, cedar roof beams, and hundreds of artisans at work hint at the unique reach and power of the Assyrian empire.
This text also described a luxurious banquet for almost 70,000 guests that took place at the palace's dedication, involving hundreds of animals and birds, fruit, and flowing beer and wine.
Other rooms of the palaces and temples contained archives of the imperial administration.
Large parts of Ashurnasirpal's palace were reconstructed by Iraq's antiquities board during the 1970s and 1980s, including the restoration and re-installation of carved stone reliefs lining the walls of many rooms.
The winged bull statues that guard the entrances to the most important rooms and courtyards were re-erected.
These winged bulls are among the most dramatic and easily recognised symbols of the Assyrian world.
They combine the most highly valued attributes of figures from nature into a complex hybrid form: a human head for wisdom, the body of a wild bull for physical power, and the wings of an eagle for the ability to soar high and far and to see and prevent evil.
The Iraqi restoration project also led to the dramatic discovery of several tombs of the queens of the Assyrian empire. These tombs contained astonishingly rich finds of delicate gold jewellery and crowns, enamel ornaments, bronze and gold bowls, and ivory vessels.
The technical skill and aesthetic sense of the artisans responsible are unrivalled in the ancient world.
Nimrud was for a long time a popular site for family picnics and local school group visits, and the reconstruction of the palace provided a rare opportunity for visitors to experience the buildings' scale and beauty in a way that is impossible to find in a museum context.
Nimrud is unique and its buildings and artworks are irreplaceable.
This destruction is a huge loss for archaeologists, for Iraqis, and for the world.
The centre-right mayor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio Macri, surprised observers by securing almost as many votes as Daniel Scioli, the chosen candidate of the current president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
Mr Scioli's focus would be protecting jobs and welfare programmes, he said.
Mr Macri said he would address state spending "abuses" and high inflation.
The candidate in third place, Sergio Massa, has not said who will get his backing in the second round.
President Fernandez was constitutionally barred from seeking a third term.
Electoral first
With 97% of the votes counted, Mr Scioli was ahead with 36.9% of the vote, while Mr Macri had 34.3%.
The result means Mr Scioli, governor of Buenos Aires province and a former world powerboat champion, will have to enter a run-off with Mr Macri on 22 November.
It is the first time an Argentine election will be decided by a second round.
"Today starts a new election campaign that will decide the future of Argentina," Mr Scioli told reporters.
He said the choice was between protecting industry, employment and social welfare, and what he called Mr Macri's proposal "to liberalise the market and take on debt".
Mr Macri, a former president of top football club Boca Juniors, said he would try to win over voters who did not choose him on Sunday.
"We will correct the abuses and the fraud of inflation,'' he said, referring to his campaign pledges to cut state spending and rein in the inflation rate, which officially stands at 14.5%.
Observers say a key role in the run-off campaign could be played by Sergio Massa, who came a distant third with 21.3% of the vote.
Mr Massa, a former ally turned rival of President Fernandez, has not said who will get his backing in the second round.

Whoever wins the presidency faces significant economic challenges.
While the country gained strength after a financial crisis in 2002, its economy, the third-largest in Latin America, has slowed in recent years, with GDP growing by only 0.5% last year.
The government is also locked in a battle against American hedge funds who disagree with how it wants to restructure $100bn (??65bn) of debt on which it defaulted in 2001.
While the firms successfully sued Argentina for repayment, Ms Fernandez refused to pay.
Amid a high turnout they have won more than 300 seats - about a quarter - reports say, although pro-Beijing groups will still have a big majority.
Critics say the results show the undemocratic nature of the system.
Hong Kong's Financial Secretary John Tsang has resigned his post, reportedly to run for the leadership in March.
Mr Tsang is regarded as a more moderate alternative to current leader Leung Chun-ying, who has said he will not seek re-election.
Known as "Uncle Pringles" for a moustache similar to one worn by a character on a potato crisp brand's packaging, Mr Tsang is a US-educated fencing and martial arts enthusiast who has been the finance minister since July 2007.
Candidates running for chief executive have to be nominated by the 1,200-strong Election Committee - and need a majority of votes from the committee to win.
The committee's members are made up of delegates from special interest groups.
Analysts say the pro-Beijing majority ensures the battle will be between figures favourable to the mainland government. Although none have yet declared, Mr Tsang, former security secretary Regina Ip and chief secretary Carrie Lam could face off.
The BBC's Helier Cheung, in Hong Kong, says pan-democrats will argue that their strong performance is a reflection of dissatisfaction with the current government, and the slow pace of democratic reform.
In 2014, tens of thousands of people demonstrated for weeks to demand a one-person, one-vote election for chief executive, but they failed to win any concessions from Beijing.
Initially only available in the US, YouTube Red will cost $9.99 (£6.50) a month and have no adverts.
PewDiePie, Rooster Teeth and Lilly Singh are among the well-known names involved.
Analysts suggested it could be difficult to turn millions of fans who expect free access to pay up.
"It's great to see YouTube offer an alternative to an ad-only model," said Brian Blau, an analyst with Gartner. "Consumers want choice and options."
"But pay walls haven't always done well and uptake depends on how users balance the attractiveness of the exclusive content and the pain of sitting through lots of ads."
Ian Maude from Enders Analysis was also sceptical about the size of the audience it would attract.
"You are not going to see 50% buying this," he said. "It's going to be relatively small numbers."
"But," he added. "they might be able to hoover up some more money and from Google's perspective it gets them into the high-quality, high-production value game."
He said that YouTube, like other video-streaming sites, was seeking to become a platform that showed original content it bankrolled not just programmes made by other organisations.
"Google has deep pockets and a lot of money and it's a space it needs to be in so it makes sense to me that they would want to be there," said Mr Maude.
YouTube will offer US-based users a month's free trial of Red from 28 October. International pricing and launches will be announced soon.
"For years, YouTube's fans have been telling us they want more," the company wrote in a blog post.
"More choice when watching their favourite content, more ways to support their favourite creators and, above all, the option to watch their favourite videos uninterrupted."
YouTube Red original shows will include:
Scare PewDiePie - a reality adventure series as Felix reacts to situations inspired by his favourite games.
Sing it! - A comedy that satirises talent competitions
Lazer Team - A movie featuring four losers who find an alien ship carrying an strange cargo
A Trip to Unicorn Island - An in-depth look at the life of Lilly Singh as she embarks on a 26 city tour.
Single by 30 - a romantic drama about two high school friends who pledge to marry each other if they are still unwed at 30
Fight of the Living Dead - a reality show that puts popular YouTubers in a frightening zombie apocalypse to see how they cope
I Am Tobuscus - a comedy about a self-involved YouTube creator trying to be a big star
The roster also includes some as yet untitled items such as a show based around the science of video games that will be filmed for VR headsets, a reality series that puts YouTube stars into a murder mystery setting and an anthology looking at the absurdity of internet culture.
YouTube content will be able to be downloaded and watched offline, a contrasting approach to Netflix - its chief product officer last month said offline viewing wasn't something users wanted.
The subscription will include access to YouTube Gaming and a new YouTube Music app, also announced on Wednesday. Google's streaming music service, Google Play Music, will also be included.
This package deal of sorts could present a threat to Apple Music and Spotify whose services, which are solely audio, are roughly the same price.
While the free, ad-supported version of YouTube will remain as-is, the move represents the first time that YouTube will limit some material to paying customers only.
Those members will get productions featuring YouTube stars who regularly command audiences bigger than global broadcast giants, working with high-end production houses on the original content.
The first of these shows will be rolled out early next year.
Arguably the most well-known, PewDiePie - real name Felix Kjellberg - will be working with the executive producers behind blockbuster zombie series The Walking Dead on a "reality adventure series".
The show will include "thrills, chills and laughter as PewDiePie encounters terrifying situations inspired by his favourite video games".
Another show "takes popular YouTube talent and traps them in a frighteningly realistic zombie apocalypse. They must use their instincts and gaming skills to survive as they battle the elements for the ultimate prize of survival".
In all, the company announced 10 original projects, including one project that will be shot in 360 degrees and designed to be enjoyed using a virtual reality headset.
The move represents YouTube's gradual shift from being the first giant of the new media age to something resembling a more traditional media company, with executives deciding what content is made and promoted - albeit heavily influenced by online trends and viewing data.
Moving to a paywall model could be appealing to creators who could receive higher revenues from paying YouTube customers than they currently do from advertising revenue shared with YouTube.
However, that relies on YouTube's ability to get an audience not used to paying for content to commit to a monthly subscription. Or, tougher still, YouTube has to convince the parents of those fans to start paying instead.
And breathing down YouTube's neck is Facebook. After rolling out auto-playing videos to its news feed, the site recently started creating dedicated video areas, much like YouTube Channels.
Behind the scenes YouTube has been busy trying to convince advertisers that its viewers are comparatively more engaged than Facebook users in what they are watching - and that YouTube has stricter criteria over what exactly constitutes a "view".

The money from the Constitutional Research Council was spent on pro-Brexit advertising throughout the UK.
The group of pro-union business people is led by a Conservative party member.
About £425,000 of the funding was spent mainly on advertising in Britain. The rest went to DUP party funds.
Speaking at an anti-Brexit rally in west Belfast on Saturday, Mr Adams said the DUP needed to provide more answers.
"The DUP acted as a funnel for £425,000 coming from a Scottish Tory, which had an impact on the outcome.
"They need to explain how they got themselves into that position."
Speaking on the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme on Friday, DUP MP Sir Jeffrey Donaldson. stressed it was "not a Northern Ireland referendum, but a UK-wide referendum".
The details of the donation came as the spending returns of the Stronger In and Vote Leave campaigns in last year's EU referendum are under investigation, the Electoral Commission has announced.
Customers were warned not to cook, drink or wash with tap water following concerns over its taste and smell.
The Drinking Water Quality Regulator has been investigating the problem which closed nine schools in June 2015.
The affected properties were in parts of Carfin, Newarthill, Chapelhall, New Stevenston and Dalziel Park.
Restrctions were lifted two days after customers first complained of an "oily based substance" with a strong odour in their water.
In her annual report, Sue Petch, drinking water quality regulator for Scotland, said: "One major incident affecting drinking water quality occurred during June 2015 when over 6,000 properties in North Lanarkshire suffered restrictions on the use of their water for two days after contamination of the supply.
"We have investigated this event thoroughly and submitted a report to the procurator fiscal."
A spokesman for Scottish Water said: "Providing safe, wholesome drinking water to our five million customers is Scottish Water's top priority."
The report showed drinking water standards reached a record high in 2015.
Out of 308,356 samples of water taken from consumers' taps, 99.92% met the required standards.
Of the 35 incidents that were investigated, only the case in North Lanarkshire was classified as major.
Ms Petch said: "Consumers in Scotland are generally more satisfied with the taste and appearance of their tap water.
"Last year, only 0.2% of consumers reported concerns with the quality of their supply, almost half that of numbers reported six years ago.
"When concerns are reported, they are thoroughly investigated and, where necessary, action is taken to resolve the situation.
"It is vital that the progress that has been made is maintained and further built upon.
"Scottish Water must ensure their assets and procedures are resilient and able to cope with a wide range of challenges."
He cited newspaper claims that Irish police were more concerned about "ISIL" (or so-called Islamic State) cells in Dublin than dissident republicans.
He said he hoped the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) would be given more money to tackle the threat.
The MLA for Strangford was speaking at UKIP's regional party conference.
Mr McNarry asked: "Are we here in Northern Ireland, who treat dissident activity extremely seriously, missing a trick by not knowing if there is a threat to our communities, as is apparent down south from ISIL supporters?
"Because, be in no doubt - all the connotations of migration will take pole position in this [European Union] referendum debate - a debate we welcome but which no-one will welcome with the ISIS gun held to our heads.
"And listen up - we cannot live with other people's terrorists in our midst," he said.
"Nor should we be either asked or expected to provide work for other people's unemployed, when local workers are losing their jobs or provide homes when young couples languish on housing waiting lists for years.
"Nor should we rush to send money by pledging £200m to Africa when we must get our own needy sorted first."
Asked later by the BBC to clarify his remarks about the threat from ISIL in Northern Ireland, Mr McNarry said: "If they are in Dublin why wouldn't they be here?
"That's what I'm saying. It's a hundred miles down the road, why wouldn't they operate here?
"We are worried about them in every other city in the United Kingdom. The chancellor of the exchequer has just given millions more money to the police.
"Im hoping our [PSNI] chief constable is going to get a lot more money too, to chase down and run down ISIL terrorists, if they are here." | Newcastle United dropped into the Premier League's bottom three as relegated Aston Villa ended a run of 11 defeats amid more fan protests.

Research by the Scottish Green Party suggests that about half the homes in the EH1 postcode will be holidays lets by 2050.
They are calling for more regulation on short-term lets.
But others say the trend is boosting the local economy as more people holiday in Edinburgh.
Some home-owners have complained they can only afford to live in the area if they rent out their property at peak times.
Margo Mason lives in a flat in Edinburgh's new town. She is one of a growing number of people who rent out their homes at busy times of the year.
The extra income enables her to stay living in the city centre.
"I needed to supplement my pension," she said. "I didn't have enough money coming in to live on. I could pay all my bills but I couldn't buy food.
"The alternative would be that I would have to sell my house. I've been here 25 years, I don't want to do that. So it enables me to stay here."
Homeowners like Margo still live in the places that they rent out during peak times but there is now a growing trend in Edinburgh for people to buy up properties which they will never live in themselves but instead use them for holiday lets.
Critics say this is causing problems.
Ross Cowan has lived in the Grassmarket for two years. But in that time the number of holiday lets in his stair has risen from one to three.
"You've got noise disruption, you've got littering within the stair," he said.
"The people who are coming in don't have a degree of care that the residents have a degree of.
"For somebody coming into a holiday let, it's like a hotel without any staff to bother them. They can effectively do what they like because there's no one there and nine times of 10, they do."
Estate agents are worried about losing homes from the long-term rental market.
Rob Trotter from DJ Alexander has noticed significant changes since the rise of short term lets.
"We're certainly seeing rental values increasing, I would say, at an unsustainable level and property values in the city centre are increasing.
"If you're trying to move to Edinburgh to start a job and you can't afford to live in the city centre or you can't find a flat, that's difficult for businesses."
The Scottish Green Party estimates that if current trends continue, around half the homes in the EH1 postcode will be holiday lets by 2050.
MSP Andy Wightman says councils need more power to control how properties listed as residential are used.
"We're calling for the city council to be able to have the choice and to be able to make decisions about how residential property is used - and that means introducing new use-class orders in the planning system.
"So for example, if you want to change your flat into a shop, you have to apply for planning consent. If you want to change your flat to a holiday home, you don't. We want that to be a requirement so that the city council can come to a view on how it wants to see residential property used."
Cities like London, Paris and Berlin have already introduced regulations on short-term lets.
Michael Allan, of property management firm BnBBuddy, says the short term lets is good for the local economy as more people can afford to travel to the capital.
But he agrees there is room for more regulation.
"All the negatives can be easily solved by the council coming to companies like us, taking our insight, taking advice from long term rental companies to combine to create good policy that fits Edinburgh.
"It doesn't copy what's happening in London or Manchester because they are different cities with different problems. It's about concentrating on the local issues."
Passengers at Holborn station will be asked not to walk up two escalators after a previous experiment found it improved passenger flow.
During the November trial, station congestion was reduced by about 30%, Transport for London (TfL) said.
The third "up" escalator will remain available for people to walk on, the operator said.
London Underground convention is for customers to stand on the right of escalators, allowing others to walk on the left.
But in stations where escalators have a vertical height of more than 18.5m (60ft 7in), much of the left-hand side remains unused, causing queues to form at the bottom, TfL found.
During the last test, it said, 16,220 people could travel on Holborn's 23.4m (76ft 8in) -high escalators during rush hour, compared to 12,745 in normal circumstances.
Messages by the behavioural science department at the London School of Economics have been developed to persuade Londoners to adopt the change.
Different approaches will be tested during the trial to find out which is most persuasive.
Methods will include direct instructions from staff, electronic "stand on the right" signs, handprints on the handrails, and "light" messages playing on words about standing.
Peter McNaught, operations director at London Underground, said: "We hope that this can lead to improving congestion at Holborn, making journeys easier for all of our customers".
TfL have not said whether standing only escalators will be tried out in other stations.

John Walton, the 2001 champion, dropped only three legs in his 3-0 preliminary-round win over Australia's Rob Modra.
In the women's draw, number four seed Aileen de Graaf defeated English teenager Casey Gallagher 2-0 to reach the quarter-finals.
Hankey was playing at the BDO World Championships for the first time since 2012, following a switch to the PDC circuit and a period of ill health.
Speaking after Sunday's preliminary-round win over Dave Cameron, Hankey said he had played "like a total plonker" and conceded he would have to improve to beat the vastly experienced Phillips.
Both players struggled early on - Phillips needed 26 darts to win a nervy first leg and, as Hankey continued to miss chances at doubles, the Welsh left-hander clinched the first two sets.
Hankey appeared disturbed by a section of the Lakeside audience on at least two occasions and changed the pace of his throw in a bid to find some rhythm, but it was to no avail as Phillips ran out a comfortable winner.
Richard Veenstra: "It was a great match. I'm sorry for Jeffrey but I'm happy to be in the next round. I have to book another boat home. I think I'll stay until Monday now."
John Walton: "Emotions were riding high but I just relaxed and played darts. I haven't been on the circuit for a year so nobody knows how I'm playing. I'm just enjoying myself again. I felt so relaxed."
BBC pundit Bobby George on Walton's win: "John scored well and finished well. Sometimes his finishing lets him down a little bit but today there was no messing."
England's three-time champion Martin Adams faces a difficult start to his World Championship campaign on Tuesday, with Canada's Jeff Smith his first-round opponent (13:00 GMT, live on BBC Two).
Smith lost at the semi-final stage 12 months ago and impressed in his preliminary-round win over Matthew Medhurst.
Dutch fifth seed Wesley Harms, twice a World Championship semi-finalist, and Belgium's World Trophy winner Geert de Vos are also in first-round action on Tuesday.
The 56-year-old admitted she had felt "very vulnerable" taking on the role of Alexandra Del Lago in Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth.
The play, which opened this week at London's Old Vic theatre, is one of Williams' lesser known works.
The Daily Telegraph's five-star review said Cattrall was "on incendiary form".
Thinking her comeback movie has flopped, Cattrall's character seeks sexual comfort in the arms of gigolo Chance Wayne, played by 26-year-old Broadway star Seth Numrich.
Speaking after Wednesday's opening night, Cattrall said it had been important to explore the issues that "a lot of women my age are dealing with".
These, she continued, included "feeling that you're still valid and you're still attractive and you still have something to say - that time has not passed you by.
"These are messages and things that I'm dealing with in real life, not just on the stage. So they resonate for me in a very specific way," she told the BBC.
"It's a great challenge, and I felt very vulnerable playing it and going there."
Kevin Spacey, artistic director at the Old Vic, said he had started "badgering" Cattrall about the role three or four years ago.
"When I first started at the Old Vic, I made a list of plays that I hoped one day that we would present - and this play was on that list," he said.
"What I love about Kim is that any other actress would have taken her image and capitalised on that after Sex and the City, but this lady went to the theatre and worked her ass off."
The play is directed by Marianne Elliott, who was also behind the box-office hits War Horse and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
"Kim was one of the very last Hollywood artists to be signed by a studio for seven years," she told the BBC.
"So she absolutely understands what it means to be in the world of Hollywood and past your sell-by date once you reach a certain age."
"I don't think it's just Hollywood that's youth-obsessed," Cattrall continued.
"I think we're all youth-obsessed - and why not? It's great to be young. But I don't really feel old. I feel a little wiser, a lot more patient, and also more courageous.
"I was so worried when I was younger what people thought of me. Now I don't care as much. I care more about what I think of myself."
Reviews have been largely positive. The Arts Desk's Sam Marlowe said Cattrall was "ideally cast" and gives a "fearless, funny, imposing and poignant" performance.
The Independent's Paul Taylor agreed, noting: "Kim Cattrall seems to have cornered the market in raddled, imperiously camp divas."
"Sweet Bird of Youth certainly isn't a play for the faint-hearted, but boy does it deliver the theatrical goods," The Telegraph's Charles Spencer concluded.
Michael Billington's three-star review in The Guardian was more reserved, however.
"The cast... is as good as any you'll find in a national company," he wrote.
"Yet nothing can persuade me that the play is anything more than overheated melodrama all too rarely alleviated by Williams's instinct for comedy."
Sweet Bird of Youth runs at the Old Vic until 31 August.
Paul and Sandra Dunham, from Northampton, were extradited last month accused of expenses fraud at the US company they formerly worked for.
Their US lawyer Deborah Boardman said they had overturned a decision by a Maryland court to deny bail after they were accused of posing a "flight risk".
It is expected they will be released next week but must remain in the US.
The pair, both 58, were last month told at the District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, that they would be on remand for up to 10 months at the Chesapeake Detention Facility in Baltimore.
Before they left the UK the couple expressed fears they could be driven to suicide if they were remanded in the US "with murderers and rapists" for months while awaiting trial.
The allegations centre on Mr Dunham's time as chief executive and president of Pace, a US company manufacturing soldering irons for the electronics industry. Mrs Dunham was director of sales.
The indictment says that between 2002 and 2009 the couple fraudulently charged personal expenses to their corporate credit cards and submitted vouchers to Pace for reimbursement that falsely described them as business expenses.
The Foxes were 2-0 up in five minutes as Vardy ended his 10-game run without a Premier League goal by slotting home, and Andy King curled in moments later.
It was 3-0 within 20 minutes as Vardy added another after skipping past visiting keeper Claudio Bravo, and he completed his hat-trick by intercepting a misplaced John Stones pass and finishing from a narrow angle.
Aleksandar Kolarov, with a free-kick, and Nolito scored late consolation goals for the away side.
They have now lost back-to-back league games for the first time since Pep Guardiola took over in the summer, and are four points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
For defending champions Leicester, victory ended a five-game run without a league win and moved them up to 14th.
Guardiola said this week he wanted a new rule to allow teams to use up to six substitutes - and after five minutes he may have hoped his wish was a reality.
Manchester City have kept just two Premier League clean sheets this season, and Guardiola reshuffled his formation to start with a back three of Pablo Zabaleta, John Stones and Bacary Sagna.
That strategy was swiftly scrapped, though, when his side fell 2-0 down after just 255 seconds - Kolarov was hauled out of midfield and into a hastily created back four.
The visitors, looking marginally better for the change, still managed to get caught on the break for Leicester's third and frequently put themselves under pressure by trying to play out from the back - Stones' misplaced backpass for Vardy's third the costliest example.
Their fragility could well be a result of their lack of a consistent starting XI, with Guardiola never having kept the same line-up for two consecutive games during his time at Etihad Stadium.
Suspensions for Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho and Nicolas Otamendi had forced the Spaniard to make changes here, and his side were devoid of cohesion.
For all their possession, they did not have their first shot on target until Kolarov scored a well-placed free-kick in the 82nd minute, and only salvaged further respectability when Nolito tapped in the Serb's low cross late on.
Leicester, who were a point above the relegation zone when they kicked off, were superb and, for perhaps the first time this season, showed all the hallmarks of last term's incredible title-winning campaign.
That most unlikely of championships was built on resolute defending, lightning-quick counter-attacking, Vardy's goals and Riyad Mahrez's magic - all of which were on show.
Mahrez pulled off a superb first touch to direct a high ball to Islam Slimani, who in turn slid in Vardy for the opener, and the Algerian repeated the feat when he redirected a long ball into the path of Vardy for Leicester's third.
Vardy, who scored 24 Premier League goals last season, had endured a 741-minute goal drought in the league, but took his tally for this term to five when he capitalised on Stones' error and somehow threaded a finish from the tightest of angles.

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri told BBC Sport: "It was the true Leicester, maybe because we have played so badly in our last few matches, but today we were so strong.
"We played smart, slowed down the tempo.
"I am very pleased for Jamie. When he finished, I said 'welcome back'."
Former Leicester defender Matt Elliott on BBC Radio Leicester: "There was a spark and zip about Leicester's play from the off. You could sense it, a freshness in the air.
"That's their best performance by some distance this season and that might just reignite their season, certainly in domestic terms."
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola told BBC Sport: "Leicester won the second balls and scored fantastic goals.

"Football is a game with mistakes, especially today. I would never complain to my players and I will look inside myself and analyse the reason why we have problems with the second balls when they arrive.
"Our game is not bad, but in the box we have a lot of problems."
Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy: "That's as good as I've seen Leicester this season, it was like the Leicester of last season. But City didn't half help them.
"Kolarov was supposed to be playing as a third centre-half but he played so far forward, he left Stones isolated. Zabaleta was playing in a weird in-between position and it didn't look like he knew what he was doing.
"Kevin de Bruyne appeared to be at left-wing-back. The communication and lack of line was pretty bad. Kolarov was playing his own game going forward so often. They gave Leicester so many opportunities to attack them. It could have been more.
"Fifty changes, they've made this season. It's nice to build relationships and have some familiarity. You can't keep changing players."
On Monday, both sides find out who they will face in the last 16 of the Champions League.
Manchester City will be drawn against one of Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Monaco or Napoli.

Chris Ruane beat James Davies, regaining the seat he had held for 18 years before losing it in 2015.
Labour's Ian Lucas held on to Wrexham, a key Tory target, with a 48.9% share of the vote.
The party also retained Clwyd South with Susan Elan Jones, Delyn with David Hanson and Alyn and Deeside through Mark Tami.
But the Conservatives' David Jones, Brexit minister and former Welsh Secretary, held on to Clwyd West.
Mr Ruane said he was "elated" to win back Vale of Clwyd, adding one of his priorities was to ensure the constituency did not lose out financially from Brexit.
He said: "If we are leaving Europe, I want to make sure that those Tory pledges that we wouldn't lose out are kept."
Susan Elan Jones tweeted to say she would be back to work on Saturday, adding: "Thanks to all for kind messages".
Mr Lucas, Mr Tami, Mr Jones and Mr Hanson also all tweeted to thank their supporters.
The organisation said severe weather and low temperatures had affected grass growth.
This meant that cows have been unable to graze and are losing weight as a result.
It is feared the situation may also affect the animals breeding.
The SCF said that weather conditions had affected crofters' income due to a fall in tourism, with many being unable to afford extra supplies of hay, feed and straw.
The organisation has written to Rural Affairs Secretary Richard Lochhead to explain the situation and ask for emergency payments to be made.
SCF director Joyce Wilkinson said: "Everywhere I go I see and hear of near-crisis conditions.
"We brought it up with government officials and were told that the CAP 'rebate' was to be paid this week and that could be considered an emergency payment to help with the crisis.
"But the rebate is based on a percentage of the producer's claim, excluding the first £2,000 - which of course means some small producers will receive very low payments, if any.
"SCF are convinced that a real emergency payment needs to be made as soon as possible to avoid catastrophe for many small producers, who are the source of calves for the Scottish beef system, which in turn will face problems if something is not done now."
A spokesman for the Scottish government said: "We understand the recent weather has been particularly challenging for crofters and farmers and we will continue to look at what we can do to assist famers and crofters at this time.
"Support is already available for farmers and crofters through Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 of the CAP and £12m in top-up payments distributed at the beginning of June should provide some interim help.
"In the future the new island rates for Beef Voluntary Coupled Support will also help farmers and crofters deal with the impact of external events, such as challenges presented by weather."
Numbers obtained by a prison reform charity showed a decline each year from 2010 to 2014.
The Dyfed-Powys force area had the greatest dip at 70%, with South Wales the smallest at 47%.
The Howard League for Penal Reform said it was down to work done to keep children out of the criminal justice system.
Across Wales, child arrests were down from 13,889 in 2010 to 6,199 in 2014, a response to the charity's Freedom of Information request showed.
There was a fall of 61% in the Gwent Police area and 55% in north Wales.
The Howard League said the figures closely matched an average drop of 54% across Wales and England as a whole. Of those arrested, 83% were boys.
Rovers held the upper hand in the first half as James Norwood tested Jonathan Maxted with a first-time volley before Andy Cook had a header cleared off the line following a corner.
However, it was the West Yorkshire strugglers who took the lead in the 33rd minute when Derek Asamoah smashed the ball into the top corner from outside the box.
Tranmere wasted little time in grabbing an equaliser at the start of the second half, Norwood heading home Jeff Hughes' corner in the 49th minute.
Rovers piled on the pressure and clinched the points in the 58th minute as Cook turned in a left-wing cross from Liam Ridehalgh to leave Guiseley still one point above the drop zone.

Lineups are announced and players are warming up.
The president's doctor, one of his nieces and an ex-minister of commerce have been charged with conspiracy and attempted murder, officials said.
Prosecutors said the president's niece and his doctor were offered 1bn CFA francs (£1.2m; $2m) to poison him.
The three have been remanded in custody, officials say.
Prosecutors yesterday named them as Dr Ibrahim Mama Cisse, the president's niece Zouberath Kora-Seke and former minister of commerce Moudjaidou Soumanou.
Authorities said they also intended to issue an arrest warrant for businessman Patrice Talon, a former ally of Mr Yayi who fell out with the leader.
Chief prosecutor Justin Gbenameto told reporters that the alleged plot started on 17 October while the head of state was on an official visit to Brussels.
He said the president's niece, who accompanied him on that trip, was approached by Mr Talon who offered her money to administer drugs to the president, provided by his personal doctor.
Two days later the poison arrived on a flight from Brussels, he said. The prosecutor said that medicine which the president usually took was then replaced with the poison.
It is alleged that Mr Soumanou acted as an intermediary in the affair.
But Mr Gbenameto said the plot failed because the president's niece informed her sister and others who then alerted the president.
The three defendants were arrested on Sunday.
Mr Gbenameto stated that the judiciary remained independent and he urged people to remain calm.
Mr Yayi, 60, was first elected president in 2006 and re-elected last year. He is currently chair of the African Union.
In 2007, he survived an ambush by gunmen who attacked his convoy during an election campaign tour.
The toddler went missing from a Primark store in Northumberland Street in Newcastle city centre shortly before 17:00 BST on Wednesday.
She was found more than an hour later, about three miles away in Gosforth.
The girls, aged 13 and 14, are also charged with shoplifting dummies, baby milk and a bottle.
The teenagers, who cannot be identified, appeared at South East Northumberland Magistrates' Court.
They were denied bail and ordered to be tagged and remanded into local authority care.
They were also banned from entering the city centre and discussing the case on social media.
Their next appearance will be at North Tyneside Youth Court on 13 May.
The A444, currently known as Phoenix Way, is expected to be officially renamed Jimmy Hill Way at a special ceremony later this year.
Hill, who died in December aged 87, is seen by many as Coventry City Football Club's most successful manager.
Coventry City Council's decision comes after a campaign from the Coventry Telegraph newspaper.
Council leader George Duggins said: "We're really pleased that we are able to honour the man that revolutionised football, both for this city and throughout the sport.
"He transformed Coventry City Football Club into a major league team and introduced a range of revolutionary changes."
The A444 runs past the club's former Highfield Road home and past the Ricoh Arena, where the team currently ground shares with Wasps Rugby Club. There is a statue of Hill outside the Ricoh Arena.
Bridges that go over the road are being restored and the lower sections painted light blue as a further tribute.
Councillor Jayne Innes added: "It will be a prominent, and fitting tribute to the man that did so much for the game and our city."
Hill led Coventry City to two promotions before leaving to work with ITV in 1967. He returned to Coventry as managing director in 1975, later becoming chairman, while still working as a presenter and pundit on the BBC's Match of the Day.
A memorial service for him was held at the city's cathedral in February.
Middle-class shoppers could soon find it easier to order high-end treats from home as Marks and Spencer prepares a trial online grocery service.
Humbler tastes are catered for too, as McDonald's unveils a pilot fast-food delivery service in the London area.
But as existing players already know, the delivery market is no pushover.
In the case of M&S, the move comes as part of a wider push into the food sector that involves opening 200 new food-only stores.
M&S currently has 959 UK stores, of which 615 are food only.
The retailer is being cautious about its plans, saying that it wants to undertake "a soft trial in the autumn".
Chief executive Steve Rowe said: "The economics of food online are not straightforward and it is not something that we are going to rush into until we have substantial customer insight and a better understanding of what is right for M&S and right for our customers."
However, it's not clear that M&S has the muscle to take on the big supermarkets, which in many cases have spent years honing their online offer.
Industry sources say the average Tesco stocks 40,000 different products, whereas an M&S food outlet has just 7,000.
Of course, M&S has carved out a distinctive niche for its mostly own-label nosh, with TV advertising stressing the exclusivity and luxury nature of its food and drink.
Consumers are less likely to go there for baked beans and more likely to seek out speciality items.
The M&S website's food section features a large section headed "Dine in style", including the blurb: "From decadent roasts to dinner parties, we've got the expertly sourced joints and carefully prepared meals you need to impress without the stress."
This kind of food can already be ordered online from M&S on a click-and-collect basis, while the chain also already offers office lunch delivery under the Lunch To You branding.
So maybe it's the takeaway food outlets that should be quaking in their boots. After all, if all that stress-free, expertly-sourced food can be delivered to your door, perhaps you might prefer it to a curry or a pizza.
But there again, retail insiders aren't convinced that M&S can pose a challenge.
They don't see much crossover with big players such as online food order and delivery service Just Eat, which operates as an intermediary between independent take-out food outlets and customers.
The general view is that M&S shoppers are not necessarily Just Eat's core consumers.
On the other hand, maybe Just Eat might be more worried by the other big name that's mulling an entry into the market: fast-food firm McDonald's.
The Big Mac purveyor is set to be quicker off the mark than M&S, with a June start date for its London-based trial service.
"We will start with a delivery service from the right number of sites that gives us scale," McDonald's UK chief executive Mr Pomroy told the Telegraph.
However, the signs are that the Golden Arches chain will be working with the existing system, not trying to disrupt it.
The actual deliveries will be carried out by an external firm, which means that it might be Deliveroo or another such company bringing your Chicken McNuggets to your door.
At this rate, there may soon be no need to leave your home at all - another blow to the High Street as bricks-and-mortar outlets look increasingly old-fashioned.
A PTI spokesman made an announcement on Imran Khan's official Facebook page. Ms Khan also confirmed on Twitter that they had decided to part ways.
The pair got married in January at Mr Khan's home.
The former cricketer was previously married to British journalist and activist Jemima Goldsmith.
PTI spokesman Naeem Ul Haque asked for the media to "refrain from any speculation" due to the sensitivity and seriousness of "this extremely painful matter".
"There will be no further communication in this respect," he added.
Mr Khan echoed the request to be left alone on Twitter: "This is a painful time for me & Reham & our families. I would request everyone to respect our privacy."
He denied that there had been any financial settlement between them, adding: "I have the greatest respect for Reham's moral character & her passion to work for & help the underprivileged".
Reham Khan, a journalist, said on her Twitter page: "We have decided to part ways and file for divorce."
Mr Khan and Ms Goldsmith were married for nine years and divorced in 2004. They have two sons who live in the UK.
Last year Imran Khan was at the helm of major protests and rallies calling for political reform and for Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to step down.
The Briton and German team-mate Nico Rosberg produced record mileage in their new car in Barcelona, leaving rivals stunned at its consistency.
"I've never seen anything like it. Just the strength of this car, it just keeps going," said world champion Hamilton.
"After winning two championships, it's so easy to lose focus - but everyone has done an even better job."
The Mercedes ran so reliably that the team had to start using their two drivers on each day, rather than alternating them, to avoid tiring them out.
Hamilton, 31, added: "It's just been an incredible weekend for testing for us. Before we came here they were talking about doing 800km (497 miles) a day and I thought that was crazy because I've never done that in the past.
"There are no breakdowns and a lot of reliability."
Mercedes also tried a new nose design on Thursday, the final day of this week's test, with a number of unusual aerodynamic features.
Hamilton said: "The front wing is an improvement, which is good. It's always about small increments and that's what it's brought."
Rosberg, 30, and Hamilton ended the final day seventh and eighth fastest - Mercedes have concentrated on durability running and have not done any performances runs on the softer tyres.
"The car looks fantastic," added Hamilton. "Obviously we don't know the pace of the car just yet but what we can say is that it's gone the distance and that's half the battle."
Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari set the pace, with a lap of one minute 23.477 seconds on the new ultra-soft tyre, 0.8secs quicker than Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat on the same rubber.
Force India development driver Alfonso Celis was third fastest and Kevin Magnussen an impressive fourth for Renault on the soft tyre, 1.8secs off the Ferrari.
Renault had a strong day, Magnussen managing more than 150 laps despite a couple of on-track stoppages, and the team said they were pleased with the car's performance so far.
At the other end of the times, Indonesian novice Rio Haryanto has had a difficult introduction to F1 with Manor.
He spun on his first day in the car on Wednesday, without hitting anything, and did so again on Thursday, this time crashing into the barriers at Turn Four. He was unhurt.
McLaren suffered a significant blow to end the first of only two pre-season tests this year as Fernando Alonso managed only three laps before the team found a water leak in the car.
They worked to try to get the two-time champion out again but ran out of time and Alonso ended the day without a lap time.
The problems rekindled unpleasant memories of 2015, when both pre-season testing and the season itself were plagued by unreliability and poor performance.
Honda is to introduce a new specification engine, intended to be a significant improvement, for next week's final test.

Almost two-thirds (62%) told the BBC Learning poll they felt under pressure from others to act in this way.
Activities included sharing unsuitable videos or pictures of themselves or saying nasty things about others and looking at unsuitable websites.
Some 20% said they had put pressure on someone else to act negatively online.
The research was commissioned as part of a new online safety campaign - Be Smart - timed to coincide with Internet Safety Day on 10 February.
Nearly half, some 47%, said they had looked at something online that they thought their parents would not like them to see.
While 14% admitted to sending pictures of themselves, or others, that their parents would not like them to share.
And nearly one in 10 had signed up to websites or services not meant for their age group.
Among 14- to 16-year-olds, almost three-quarters (72%) said they had experienced or witnessed online bullying.
Andrew Tomlinson, the BBC's executive producer responsible for digital and media literacy, said: "Internet safety is becoming increasingly important as more families get online and children start to use tablets, computers and smartphones earlier in their lives.
"For the third year in succession, BBC Learning is supporting the aims of Safer Internet Day with a campaign of its own.
"Be Smart is giving young people the chance to speak for themselves about the pressures they face on social networking sites."
Meanwhile, a mobile app is to be launched later this year in the UK which will give parents remote access to everything their children get up to on their phones.
It will allow parents to track their child's movements, monitor text messages and vet the websites visited.
The Millers, who have won only twice in the Championship this season, led through Joe Newell's 20-yard strike.
Stefan Johansen slid home his third goal in as many games, converting Ryan Sessegnon's cross, to equalise.
Floyd Ayite turned in Lucas Piazon's cross to put Fulham ahead, while Chris Martin saw his penalty saved by the feet of Lewis Price.
That miss did not prove costly for the hosts, who secured their eighth victory of the season to move up to ninth.
Rotherham, without an away league win since April, had the better of the opening exchanges as Tom Adeyemi saw his shot tipped over the bar by David Button, while Isaiah Brown went close.
Brown and Adeyemi were involved in Rotherham's opener as they combined to set up Newell to lash home a low 20-yard effort.
The goal sparked Fulham into life and, after Ayite curled a shot past the far post and put a header wide, Johansen pounced from close range to equalise.
Ayite, who scored twice the weekend's 4-4 draw at Wolves, then put Fulham in front before Martin, on loan from Derby County, missed the chance to score his eighth goal of the season when Price turned away his spot-kick.
Rotherham had a late chance to equalise but substitute Lee Frecklington's volley was saved by Button.
Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic:
"At the end of the day I have to happy. It was a freaky game for us on a Tuesday night against the bottom of the league, it was hard for us.
"When you get to the end of the game and only have a one-goal lead you get nervous because they can score easily.
"We made enough things and chances - we missed the penalty - to make the game easier for us. We didn't do it and if you don't do it you will suffer.
"We played well in the second half, although I was a bit worried when we didn't get the third goal. It is not easy against the bottom team."
Rotherham caretaker manager Paul Warne:
"We have worked hard with the lads, we knew they were a very good team.
"I knew it was a hard ask. We prepared well, the lads believed they were going to get something out of the game, and I thought in the first 20 minutes we were really dangerous on the counter attack.
"We should have gone one up earlier than we did, but I also knew they would keep coming at us. I asked the lads to give me everything and they did."

Barcelona want a 8.5m euros (£7.8m) renewal bonus Neymar received for signing a five-year deal - just nine months before his move - returned.
The Brazil international made a record 222m euro (£200m) move to PSG in August after buying out his contract.
"The player's formal defence will be filed in due course," read a statement from the 25-year-old and his lawyers.
Neymar also seemed to suggest Barcelona owe him money following his Nou Camp exit, rather than the other way round.
His statement added: "Regarding the bonuses owed for the execution of the contract of 2016, it is also necessary to inform that the player has already initiated the formal procedures of collection before the competent courts."
On Tuesday, Barcelona had demanded the return of the "already paid" renewal bonus, plus an additional 10% for delayed payment. "The club demands the player return the already paid sum as he has not completed his contract," it said.
"The club also requests Paris St-Germain take on responsibility for the payment of these fees if the player cannot do so himself," the Catalan club added.
Paris St-Germain later responded to say they were "surprised" by Barcelona's statement, adding: "The club repeats that, along with Neymar Jr, it strictly respected all applicable laws and rules and can only regret, once again, the attitude of FC Barcelona."
The lawsuit was submitted on 11 August to the Labour Tribunal in Barcelona.
Following the transfer, Barcelona announced the club was withholding a further 26m euro (£23m) loyalty bonus from the player.
Neymar criticised the directors of his old club on Sunday after scoring twice on his home debut for PSG in a 6-2 win over Toulouse.
"I spent four beautiful years there and parted happy," said the 25-year-old. "But with [the board], no.
"For me, they are not the people who should be there, for the direction of Barca. Barca deserve much better."
Spanish football journalist Eduardo Alvarez speaking to BBC World Service after Barca announced their intention to sue
I am surprised about this news because this Barcelona board has some history in this type of action.
They sued former President Juan Laporta (seeking to hold him personally responsible for alleged losses during his mandate) and they lost that case.
It was terrible in terms of reputation for the club. Laporta was exonerated. Now, to be suing a former player sounds extremely harsh even if you don't agree with the way he left.
Barcelona mentioned in their statement that they sent this case to the Spanish authorities on 11 August so maybe Neymar's words on Sunday after his PSG home debut were a reaction this news?
The Sea Trust, which took the picture, said the "very large" shark was estimated to be four metres (about 13ft) long.
It was spotted with a large pod of common dolphins during a survey in the Bristol Channel on Monday.
The Trust says the species is a rare sight in UK waters, with just six spotted in 2012 and two in 2011.
Thresher sharks have distinctive long tails and are known for breaching - or leaping - clear of the sea surface.
During the same trip, from Milford Haven, Sea Trust volunteers saw "pod after pod" of dolphins, many of which were pregnant or with newborn calves.
The 51-year-old is accused of killing Craig Guy, 34, who was found with fatal injuries at the Beacon in Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, at around 23:30 BST on Thursday.
He will appear before York magistrates on Monday.
The Beacon offers housing to single veterans "who are homeless or at risk of homelessness", its website says.
It is believed that Mr Guy had been stabbed.
Writing in Current Biology, they focus on mutations in mitochondrial DNA - the power source of cells.
Mitochondria are inherited only from mothers, never from fathers, so there is no way to weed out mutations that damage a male's prospects.
But one ageing expert said there were many factors that explained the gender difference in life expectancy.
By the age of 85, there are approximately six women for every four men in the UK, and by 100 the ratio is more than two to one.
And females outlive males in many other species.
In the research, experts from Australia's Monash University and the UK's Lancaster University analysed the mitochondria of 13 different groups of male and female fruit flies.
Mitochondria, which exist in almost all animal cells, convert food into the energy that powers the body.
Dr Damian Dowling, of Monash University who was one of the researchers, said the results point to numerous mutations within mitochondrial DNA that affect how long males live, and the speed at which they age.
"Intriguingly, these same mutations have no effects on patterns of ageing in females," he said.
"All animals possess mitochondria, and the tendency for females to outlive males is common to many different species.
"Our results therefore suggest that the mitochondrial mutations we have uncovered will generally cause faster male ageing across the animal kingdom."
They suggest this is because there is no evolutionary reason for the faults that affect males to be picked up - because mitochondria are passed down by females.
Dr Dowling added: "If a mitochondrial mutation occurs that harms fathers, but has no effect on mothers, this mutation will slip through the gaze of natural selection, unnoticed.
"Over thousands of generations, many such mutations have accumulated that harm only males, while leaving females unscathed."
Tom Kirkwood, professor of ageing at Newcastle University said the paper was "intriguing".
He said: "It may be it does tell us something rather important about mitochondria and the difference between male and female fruit flies.
"And we know that mitochondria are important for ageing in a number of species.
"But I certainly don't think this is a discovery that explains why women live five-to-six years longer than men.
"There are other things we know also count - lifestyle, social and behavioural factors. But the biggest difference in biology is that we have different hormones."
The victim, from Redruth, was found unconscious with head injuries in the Chapel Street area at 02.45 BST on Sunday.
He died in hospital on Monday.
Connor Hammond, 21, of Trenoweth Estate, North Country, and Liam Laing, 21, of Brookside, Chacewater, are due at Truro Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
Detective Chief Inspector Mike West, from Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "Offences like this are exceedingly rare in this area.
"We would like to speak to anyone who witnessed a disturbance outside The Zone night club and anyone who was in the area between 2.30am and 3.30am on Sunday."
Texas native Bakari Henderson, 22, was beaten to death after at least 10 people followed him out of a bar after a dispute, police said.
Witnesses reportedly told police he angered one of the bouncers when he and his friends tried to take a selfie with a waitress.
Eight people have been arrested in connection to the killing, police said.
Six Serbian nationals, a 34-year-old Greek and a 32-year-old British national of Serbian descent were among those arrested.
The suspects, who face voluntary manslaughter charges, are accused of beating him and leaving him unconscious in the street.
Police said Mr Henderson died from severe head injuries after the incident.
Mr Henderson's friend, Travis Jenkins, said it was unlike him to get into a street brawl.
"Bakari was not one to act aggressively like that," Mr Jenkins told ABC News. "He was always the one who was the peacemaker."
"I think everybody feels the same way," said Blake McCray, a family friend. "That everybody just misses Bakari. He was the life of the party."
Mr Henderson graduated last month from the University of Arizona with a degree in business finance and entrepreneurship.
His family said they were "devastated" by his death.
"Bakari loved spending time with family and friends, travelling and meeting new people," a family statement said.
"He was a big thinker and enjoyed coming up with new business ventures. Bakari was an inspiration to all he met."
The recent graduate was in Greece working on a photo shoot for a new clothing line, according to his family.
Mr Henderson's neighbour, Bill Norton, also said the account was uncharacteristic of Mr Henderson.
"He didn't have any of those characteristics that you would think about in terms of bar-room brawls," Mr Norton said. "You know, it just didn't fit Bakari's nature. So I'm just puzzled."
Mr Henderson's family is working with the US Department of State to recover his body while a GoFundMe page has raised more than $30,000 (£23,295) to cover funeral costs.
The 13.4-mile stretch between Farnborough and the M25 is now a four-lane carriageway after the main construction work was completed.
Motorists have faced years of disruption since work began in 2014.
Ongoing roadworks and some overnight restrictions will continue to affect motorists with speed limits in place as the system is tested.
Technology is being used to manage traffic flows with variable speed limits and use of the hard shoulder.
Speed limits will remain in place until later this month.
The M3 passes through Chobham Common, an area of heathland in Surrey.
Before work began, the government said the M3 smart motorway would improve journey times by 15%, but the then Highways Agency raised concerns extra traffic would cause EU air quality rules to be broken.
In June 2014, a plan to impose a 60mph speed limit on that part of the M3 to cut air pollution was put on hold by the then Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin, with the Highways Agency asked to look at other ways of tackling pollution.
Maintenance work on the motorway is still to be completed, including the rebuilding of the Woodlands Lane bridge over the motorway near Windlesham, which will continue until later in the year, Highways England said.
Pranav Devale, project manager for Highways England, said: "This new stretch of smart motorway will tackle congestion and improve journey times for the 130,000 drivers who use it every day."
Back in 2014, Highways England said the main project work would be completed by December 2016.
But James Wright of Highways England said: "The reason we are finishing construction now rather than last December is that, shortly after we started work and after a bit of local lobbying, we agreed to do a large amount of maintenance work at the same time as the smart motorway upgrade."
He said the extra work included fully resurfacing the road and replacing a bridge over it.
"This is extra work with extra benefits and we do not consider it a delay," he added.
Gwede Mantashe made the comments after deputy Finance Minister Mcebesi Jonas alleged the Gupta family had offered him a government promotion.
During a rowdy parliamentary session, Mr Zuma denied the family had influenced cabinet appointments.
The opposition called on him resign.
Mr Mantashe is the third most powerful person in the governing African National Congress (ANC), and his remarks suggest Mr Zuma may be losing the confidence of influential members of the party as well, correspondents say.
Mr Zuma's presidency has been marred by allegations of corruption, cronyism and incompetence, amid a worsening economic situation.
The crisis deepened on Wednesday, when Mr Jonas said that a member of the Gupta family had made "a mockery of our hard-earned democracy" by offering to promote him to the minister's job last year.
The family also denied the allegation.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Mr Mantashe, the ANC secretary-general, said: "We need to deal with this; it will degenerate into a mafia state if this goes on."
He told the BBC that Mr Zuma was not "untouchable", but denied that the party planned to oust him.
The ANC would, however, deal with the "corporate capture" of government, Mr Mantashe said.
Questioned by the opposition in parliament about Mr Jonas' allegation, Mr Zuma said: "I'm in charge of the government. There is no minister who was ever appointed by the Guptas."
The speaker ordered opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane to leave the chamber for breaching parliamentary rules, prompting the party's MPs to walk out in solidarity with him.
Earlier, Mr Maimane said power had shifted from the government to the Guptas.
"You and your family are getting richer while South Africans are getting poorer," he told Mr Zuma.
The party said in a statement that Mr Zuma's position was becoming "increasingly untenable", and he should resign or be sacked by the governing party.
The left-wing Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party boycotted the parliamentary session, saying it did not recognise Mr Zuma as leader of South Africa.
Analysis: Milton Nkosi, BBC News, Johannesburg
President Zuma's simple denial of his toxic relationship with the Gupta family seemed to sum up the view held by many here, that he is not fully engaged in running the country.
"Deny, deny, deny" is the same strategy the 73-year-old employed when he came under fire over the use of government money to upgrade his private home in the rural area of Nkandla - until he was forced to make a U-turn when the opposition took him to South Africa's highest court.
The court is yet to make a ruling on whether he breached his oath of office by failing to repay the money, despite an anti-corruption watchdog finding that he had "unduly benefited" from the renovations.
In parliament, Mr Zuma seemed detached from the crisis gripping South Africa.
Nor did the speaker, a senior member of the governing party, inspire confidence in South Africa's 22-year-old democracy when she threw out opposition leader Mmusi Maimane, as he challenged the president.
The opposition has long accused Mr Zuma of letting the Guptas wield excessive influence.
The Guptas, who arrived in South Africa from India in 1993, have huge interests in computers, air travel, energy, and technology.
They said Mr Jonas' statement was political point-scoring.
In 2013, there was an outcry after a private jet carrying guests to the wedding of a Gupta family member was allowed to land at a South African military air force base in Pretoria.
The opposition has said that links between President Zuma and the Guptas were so close that they have been nicknamed the "Zuptas".
Richard Greaves scored the winner for the ninth tier side against a team that plays two levels higher.
Hereford-based Westfields, who play in the Midland League Premier Division, have won six games in the FA Cup this season, a club record run.
They were formed in 1966 on the back of England's World Cup triumph.
A crowd of 760 - almost five times Westfields' average home attendance of 160 - watched the win over Leiston.
They were one of two clubs in the fourth qualifying round who had started with an extra preliminary tie in the first week of August.
Westfields have won £30,925 in prize money from their FA Cup run so far and will join former winners Bolton Wanderers, Coventry City and Portsmouth in Monday's first-round draw.
Before their trip to Allpay Park in Herefordshire, Isthmian League Premier Division leaders Leiston were unbeaten in all competitions.
Andrew Morris, the secretary and chief executive of Westfields who founded the club after being inspired by the feats of Sir Alf Ramsey's boys 50 years ago, said it was a "magical experience".
"This belongs to the magic of the cup," 66-year-old Morris told BBC Hereford and Worcester.
"It's unbelievable, I've seen scenes today that I never dreamt we would see. To win today, to get to the first round, is amazing.
"When we started I'd have been happy to have a good run in the Hereford Senior Cup."
Managerless National League side Wrexham face a replay against Stamford, who are three divisions below the Welsh side, after a Lee Beeson penalty earned the Daniels a 1-1 draw.
Northern League Division One's Bishop Auckland, the lowest ranked team to go into the fourth qualifying round, were knocked out by Stockport County of the National League North.
Solihull Moors got past Kettering Town 3-1 to reach the first round for the first time, and a victory in the first round would see them go further than Solihull Borough and Moor Green - the two clubs that merged to form the current side.
There were two big winners on the day, with Kidderminster Harriers beating Southern League Premier Division side Weymouth 6-0, while National League club Eastleigh put the same number past Southern League Division One Central side North Leigh.
Lincoln City go to a replay on Tuesday after their goalless daw against fellow National League side Guiseley, while the Imps' neighbours Lincoln United went out 3-0 to Spennymoor Town, who play in the seventh tier Northern Premier League Premier Division.

The green Vauxhall Astra drove off from Springhill Industrial Estate after it did not respond to attempts by officers in a police van to pull it over.
It collided with a black Hackney cab on Edinburgh Road at 01:30 on Sunday.
Marie Laurie, 57, from Easterhouse, died at the scene. Mrs Laurie's family said she would "be sadly missed".
A 52-year-old man, who was also a passenger in the taxi, was injured.
He was said to be in a serious but stable condition at Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
The man driving the taxi, aged 50, suffered minor injuries, as did the 20-year-old male driver of the Vauxhall and his 16-year-old female passenger.
Police Scotland said a 20-year-old man would be the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged road traffic offences.
The force also said that the matter had been referred to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner for consideration as is "standard procedure" in such cases.
Anyone with information about the incident is being asked to contact officers on the non-emergency number 101.
The teenager was crossing Barrhead Road, near its junction with Croookston Road, when the accident happened at about 18:40 on Thursday.
He is currently being treated for serious injuries at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The 41-year-old driver of the Ford Fiesta involved was uninjured.
Police have appealed for witnesses.
Others of you might have read some of my stories or observations before, but it's the first time I'm writing as the BBC's political editor. Welcome.
I couldn't have a better predecessor than my excellent colleague Nick Robinson, who'll soon bring his incredible insight and wit to the Today programme on Radio 4.
But you and I could hardly be starting out here at a more interesting moment in British politics.
Over the coming years, I'll try to unpick what's going on, try to capture the essence of what's being said in public, but also what's being discussed in private, and what that might mean for us all.
This is an amazing moment, in part because pundits and politicians can't be sure of very much. The rule book is looking a bit tattered around the edges.
The reliability of the polls took a hammering in May when the strong and widely held expectation that no one party could win the general election outright turned out to be totally misplaced.
The SNP were on the losing side not even 12 months ago in the vote on Scottish independence, but far from defeat damaging them as you might have assumed, historic victory followed in May, as it became the third biggest party in the House of Commons.
Now the Conservatives are trying to redraw their rules, casting themselves as the party of the low paid.
And it seems the assumptions are about to be broken again.
Not for Labour a leader who conforms to the rules it helped design - someone who talks Westminster's language, has doggedly built a career based on party loyalty, and aspires to wide appeal - but a man, Jeremy Corbyn, who has made a life out of being an insurgent in his own party, defying the leadership, and who many of his MP colleagues hardly even know.
The political story of the summer has, without question, been how this relatively obscure London MP has packed out clammy meeting halls around the country, exciting thousands upon thousands of people, making himself the most likely candidate to face David Cameron across the despatch box as the leader of Her Majesty's Opposition.
But, hold on. Big crowds don't make it a done deal. The actual rules of this contest, not just the excitement of upending political rules, are worth paying attention to.
It's hard to find anyone in the Labour Party now who thinks that Mr Corbyn won't win the first round of votes. But that's not it.
Unless he gets over 50% of the votes in that first round - far less certain - the rules dictate that whoever is in fourth place drops out and the second preferences of their backers are reallocated to the other candidates.
If there is still no winner, the third-placed candidate is then eliminated with their second preferences similarly reallocated. The candidate who has accumulated the most votes through the different rounds then wins.
This matters so much because crucially, given how far to the left most of Mr Corbyn's positions are compared with the other candidates, if the ballot does enter that second phase, he stands to lose out.
One source explained "he just won't get enough transfers from the other side of the ledger".
Therefore, for Mr Corbyn and all of the other candidates, the last few days of this race are not about whether he is "winning", but whether he can make it over 42% or 43% of votes in the first round. If he can't, a victory which is seen as inevitable in some quarters may elude him.
And straightforwardly, many thousands of votes are yet to be cast, and there is not enough reliable data to know which boxes are actually being crossed, and in what order.
Reality, and the party's rules, mean he has not yet won the race.
But the clamour around Mr Corbyn in these last few weeks has already bust our early assumptions. The danger for Labour is that a Corbyn victory could bust the party too. | Concerns have been raised that a sharp rise in holiday lets in Edinburgh city centre is making it more difficult to find somewhere to live in the capital.

Denbighshire council said it stood by an enforcement officer's decision to issue the fixed penalty in Ruthin.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, said she had not realised anything had been dropped on the floor.
Residents started a collection after the issue was raised on Facebook. Some claimed she had been treated unfairly.
While the council acknowledged "littering can prove an emotive issue", a spokesman said the authority had decided to "act on the evidence".
"This lady does have the right to challenge the fixed penalty notice and there is a process to follow which is outlined within the notice itself," he added.

Smoke could be seen rising from Benghazi's port, where a ship was hit.
The army had asked residents in the central al-Sabri district to evacuate the area by noon on Monday (10:00 GMT) ahead of a major military operation.
More than 200 people have been killed in Benghazi since the army began its offensive last month.
Libya has been in a state of flux since Colonel Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011.
The country is divided between two rival governments, with disparate tribes, militias and political factions fighting for power in the oil-rich country.
Heavy fighting broke out in the port area on Monday afternoon, with reports of tanks and artillery being deployed by the military.
Army spokesman Mohammed Hegazi told the Associated Press news agency that Islamist militias had hit an oil tanker with a rocket-propelled grenade, causing it to catch fire.
However, eyewitnesses said it was a navy ship that was hit amid the fighting.
Dozens of residents had left the city to avoid the fighting.
However, many residents have nowhere to go or are too afraid to cross to another area for fear of getting caught in the crossfire, the BBC's Rana Jawad reports from the capital Tripoli.
Residents in Benghazi told the BBC many homes had been destroyed from the violence in recent weeks.
Troops backing former general Khalifa Haftar are also supporting the military's efforts to retake the city.
The internationally recognised and newly elected government has been forced to flee to the far-eastern city of Tobruk close to the Egyptian border, having been ousted from Tripoli after hostile militias took control of the capital in July.
Islamist groups including Ansar al-Sharia, which is listed by Western countries including the US as a terrorist organisation, have declared a caliphate in the coastal city of Derna.
The elected government has lost Libya's three main cities amid the political crisis:
Wage campaigners argue that this does not equate to a "living wage" and have called for an increase to reflect the cost of living.
Some politicians have been calling for a revision as well, with some cabinet ministers suggesting a 50p increase is needed.
There are also suggestions that a minimum wage "top-up" in areas of high costs and higher average earnings could be introduced - paid for by employers.
Labour politicians have also talked of backing a significant rise in the minimum wage, but without specific figures- and of having a higher "minimum" in some sectors of the economy.
What is the national UK minimum wage, and who gets it?
The minimum wage depends on age and whether the employee is an apprentice. Only those of school leaving age or above are eligible.
It currently stands at £6.31 for the over-21s (a rate which was increased on 1 October 2013 by 12p an hour.)
Those aged 18-20 must be paid £5.03 an hour, while under-18s receive £3.72 and apprentices must get £2.68.
The minimum wage was introduced by Labour in 1999, at a rate of £3.60 an hour for the over-22s. Workers under the age of 22 were to be paid £3 an hour.
Do employers have an obligation to pay at least these amounts?
Yes. All employers must pay workers at least the minimum wage. Recently it was announced that employers who fail to pay workers the national minimum wage will face tougher penalties.
The maximum fine for anyone failing to pay the statutory level will increase from £5,000 to £20,000 in February 2014.
The government also plans to "name and shame" companies which do not pay the right levels.
How is the minimum wage level decided?
The National Minimum Wage Act of 1998 created a minimum wage across the United Kingdom. It was part of the 1997 general election Labour Party manifesto.
Each year, the rates are reviewed by the Low Pay Commission, which is an independent body. It reports to the government in February. The commission makes recommendations to the government, which sets the rate. It is enforced by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
The secretary of state can make exceptions under the National Minimum Wage Act, and has for au pairs, who are not entitled to the National Minimum Wage.
The Low Pay Commission carries out surveys to research pay and other factors. It consults employers and looks at economic data from the Office of National Statistics before making its recommendations.
What is the 'living wage'?
Many groups and politicians - including Business Secretary Vince Cable - argue that the current minimum wage isn't high enough.
Others have sought a so-called "living wage" for employees, arguing the minimum wage does not reflect the real costs of living, especially in the capital.
The Living Wage Foundation argues that companies should pay £7.45 an hour in the UK as a whole and £8.55 in London.
Both London's former and current Mayor, Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson, are supporters.
The Greater London Authority (GLA) is among the organisations that pay the living wage to their employees. The living wage is currently calculated by the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University, while the London living wage has been calculated by the GLA since 2005.
How much do UK workers earn?
In the year ending April 2013, the ONS said UK pre-tax pay reached £27,000 a year, an increase of 2.1% over 2012. That is a below-inflation increase for that period.
The ONS said in December 2013, the average hourly earnings before tax for UK workers were £13.60 for men and £12.24 for women.
In April 2013, 10% of full-time employees earned less than £7.28 per hour (excluding overtime), an increase of 1.5% compared with the previous year.
Based on an eight-hour day, five days a week without overtime, someone earning the adult national minimum wage would make £12,115.20p a year.
After tax, that would be £11,055.96 a year.
How many people in the UK do minimum wage jobs?
The Low Pay Commission estimates that there are 1,386,000 minimum wage jobs.
Nearly half (46%) of all low-wage workers are employed in two sectors: wholesale and retail, and hotels and restaurants. About three-quarters of a million minimum-wage jobs are accounted for by hospitality, retail and cleaning.
How do the UK's wages compare internationally?
The UK has the second-highest rate of low pay in the OECD and twice the rate in some other advanced countries.
Last year, figures requested by the Labour Party and collated by the House of Commons library showed average hourly UK wages had fallen 5.5% since mid-2010, adjusted for inflation.
That is the fourth-worst decline among the 27 EU nations. Over the same time, German hourly wages rose by 2.7%.
Only Greek, Portuguese and Dutch workers have had a steeper decline in hourly wages, the figures showed.
League bosses have shut the north stand of their Olympic Stadium for Sunday's visit of Udinese after Juventus players were abused in the Supercoppa final.
Paul Pogba, Angelo Ogbonna and Kwadwo Asamoah were all targeted during Lazio's 4-0 loss at the weekend.
Lazio fans were found guilty of racist behaviour by Uefa four times last term.
"We heard it, they're ignorant," said former Manchester United midfielder Pogba. "What can I do? I'm alone against 30,000 fans. They do that even though there are black players in their team.
"It's also a lack of respect towards their own players. It's really not nice to come to a football match and hear those sorts of things, but I'm a player, I concentrate on my job."
In February, the Rome club were ordered to play their next two home European games behind closed doors following crowd trouble.
They were also fined £120,000 by Uefa following racist chanting in a Europa League game against Tottenham Hotspur.
"(Lazio) are obliged to play one game with the 'Curva Nord' closed to spectators," said a statement published on Serie A's official website.
"Fans from the nominated stand directed racially discriminatory chants to three opposition players between the 16th and 28th minutes of the first half and the 20th to 43rd minutes of the second half."
Lazio's city rivals Roma, who also play in the Olympic Stadium, have already been punished with a partial stadium closure after fans racially abused AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli in May.
The heavier sanctions have been made possible by new anti-racism legislation passed by the Italian Football Federation on 4 June. Referees can now stop matches to allow fans to be warned about their behaviour, while clubs and individuals face increased fines and longer suspensions.
AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng walked off the pitch after being racially abused by Pro Patria fans in January, while team-mate Kevin Constant did the same during a pre-season tournament last month.
Both Lazio and Juventus were also handed additional 5,000 euro (£4,300) fines after supporters from both clubs were seen throwing smoke grenades and lighters on to the pitch during Sunday's traditional season opener between the previous campaign's league and Coppa Italia winners.
Police said that a "significant amount of cash" was stolen from the safe at All Children's Integrated Primary School.
The burglary happened sometime between Friday 15 January and Monday morning.
The school's principal said that some pupils were "shocked" to see the damage when they arrived for class on Monday.
"We've had to spend the day reassuring them that nobody was hurt and that we will hopefully have our lovely school back up and running as soon as possible," said Jonathan Beattie.
He said that the burglars had removed two windows, broken the window frames and smashed a stud wall in order to gain access to the school's office.
"The office has been ransacked as they were looking for things and then eventually they were able to find some money," he said.
"They also caused some damage to office equipment as well.
"We are extremely disappointed that some people would want to steal from a place that is so very important to our local community," Mr Beattie said.
"The money that has been stolen would be used to fund other projects that the school is involved in.
"So, whenever any money is stolen from any school it obviously has an impact on the quality of the provision of the education for the children."
Registration "250 C" was expected to appeal to owners of Ferrari's 250 GT California Spyder and had been tipped to sell for more than £500,000.
However, the hammer fell with bidding at £21,500 during the DVLA auction in Nottingham.
The existing record was set in November, when a Ferrari dealer bought "25 O" for £518,000.
While the hammer price was for the plate was £21,500, fees and other charges brought the total to £27,944.
The link to Ferrari's car was expected to be enough to attract some wealthy buyers to the "250 C" registration.
DJ Chris Evans paid more than £5m in 2008 for his Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder, once owned by Hollywood actor James Coburn.
A replica Spyder with the registration "NRVOUS" was famously destroyed by Matthew Broderick's character in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
A total of 1,600 registrations are being sold over three days, and are expected to make between £3m and £3.5m for the Treasury.
Other sales so far have included "AH11 MAD", which made more than £17,000, and "BR15 TOW", which sold for £16,000.
The auction is also attracting special interest as it is the first time registrations featuring the letters "Z" and "I" have been included.
The letters "I" and "Z" are only used for Northern Ireland's vehicle registrations.
The move means there are registrations featuring Baz, Kaz, Daz and Dez.

"There are a few good examples... but I think some of it is based on trying to manage a poor situation - a complete lack of sufficient seats."
Asked if she felt Premier League clubs are being discriminatory and letting down their fans, Cook said: "I would say so, yes."
We will continue to work with our clubs, fans and their representative organisations to make sure that the views of disabled supporters are taken into account
When BBC Sport took its findings to the Premier League, it insisted it was working hard to accommodate disabled supporters.
"The highest standards of access are generally at clubs with new grounds, but all clubs, even those working within the constraints of older stadiums, work hard to make sure that disabled fans can attend matches and enjoy their football," read a statement.
"We will continue to work with our clubs, fans and their representative organisations to make sure that the views of disabled supporters are taken into account as we make improvements in this area."
But Arsenal fan and wheelchair user Anthony Joy said guidelines on disabled facilities were not being adhered to "in any way, shape or form".
"There are not enough spaces around the country," he said. "Also in terms of where you're put, it's sometimes an afterthought.
"My worst experience was this season at Crystal Palace. Arsenal won 2-0, but I saw next to nothing of the game.
"If you put disabled supporters halfway up a stand, you need to raise them up so they can see above someone's head if they do stand. The next time we play at Selhurst Park, I don't know if I'll go."
We have an old ground which has been under invested for many years by previous owners
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says the club has taken steps to address the situation.
He said the club has already blocked off three rows in front of the disabled section to improve the viewing experience.
"We have an old ground which has been under invested for many years by previous owners," said Parish.
"I can assure you we are committed to improving the experience of every fan coming to Selhurst, with particular attention to ensure disabled fans can enjoy the game equally with others."
But Joy, who has been following Arsenal home and away for more than 20 years, says he often has a very different experience from the friends he travels with.
If we progress with a proposed stadium development, then we would look to significantly increase the number of wheelchair bays as part of any expansion
At three Premier League grounds - Upton Park, Villa Park and Anfield - a limited number of wheelchair spaces means he is forced to sit with the home fans.
"I don't want special treatment," he said. "I don't think any person with a disability wants special treatment, they just want equality. They want a chance to go and see the game, and ideally sit with their friends."
Liverpool say Anfield's age limits what they can do and insist they have carried out a number of feasibility studies into moving the wheelchair section for away fans.
"Currently, it can't be done as travelling distance to the accessible toilets are outside the permitted maximum," read a statement.
"However, if we progress with a proposed stadium development, then we would look to significantly increase the number of wheelchair bays as part of any expansion."
Current guidelines on how football clubs in the United Kingdom should cater for disabled spectators have been in place since 2004 in the form of the Accessible Stadia Guide.
The document sets out a minimum standard that all new grounds have to meet in the provision, location, and quality of facilities for disabled fans.
Wheelchair spaces provided as a percentage of Accessible Stadia Guide recommendations
The number of wheelchair spaces a stadium should provide is based on its capacity.
Old stadia are not exempt and, just like the local shop or parish church, football clubs must continually make "reasonable adjustments" to ensure everyone can access their services.
When considering what is "reasonable", financial resources are taken into account.
But even though the Premier League is richer than ever, Joy believes little has changed in the past 10 years.
"Of course it's going to be an issue with older stadiums," he said. "I can kind of make allowances for that. But with the amount of money in the game, I think there should be some level of redress.
"While there's a lot of money being spent on the corporate and hospitality side of the game, general standards of grounds are poor. That's not just for people in wheelchairs."
Since the implementation of the Equality Act in 2010 and legislation dating back to 1995, it has been illegal for service providers, including football clubs, to treat disabled people less favourably than other customers.
Barrister Catherine Casserley says clubs that do not adapt to the needs of their disabled fans could be breaking the law.
"One of the things that courts will do to establish what adjustments it is reasonable to make is to look at what other guidance is around," said Casserley.
"If that says that clubs should have a certain number of wheelchair spaces and they don't have that - and they don't really have any rationale for not having that - then the court might well decide that they breach the Equality Act."
Access to tickets is another issue facing disabled fans.
Disabled fans got a real taste of what is possible during the London Paralympics and they realise they're getting a really raw deal
Several clubs in the league have different ticket policies for disabled supporters, with restrictions that do not apply to non-disabled fans.
Casserley, an expert in discrimination law, says the majority of the football-related cases she has worked on involve ticket policies, but that fans are often reluctant to take action.
"I think football clubs are in a privileged position in that they probably rely on the loyalty of their supporters in not bringing claims," she said.
"I have to say that the people that I've seen really have come to me at the end of their tether because they really don't want to bring claims against their clubs but they want the same experience as non-disabled fans. Why shouldn't they have that?"
Cook, however, thinks more football fans are willing to act.
"Disabled fans got a real taste of what is possible during the London Paralympics and they realise they're getting a really raw deal," she said.
"There's always an argument about new and and old stadiums, but, quite frankly, you can pretty much make any stadium accessible if you have the intention, some smart design and clear thinking.
"It's time we all come together and really put this right once and for all."
Researchers from Oxford University, working in Brazil, found ancient "nut-cracking tools" - 700-year-old stone hammers that capuchin monkeys used to open cashew nuts.
This is the earliest evidence yet of monkey tool use outside Africa.
The findings are published in the journal Current Biology.
One of the Oxford team, primatologist Dr Lydia Luncz, said the find was a "window back into the past".
"Our efforts to look back into the past have been very human-focused," she told BBC News. "So we don't know much about how tool use has evolved in these [other primate] species."
As observations first revealed about a decade ago, capuchin monkeys use stone hammers and anvils to break into the cashew nuts - placing a cashew on a large stone anvil and hitting with a hammer.
The monkeys, Dr Luncz explained, bring these stones to the cashew nut trees. And that behaviour enabled the archaeologists to work out where they should dig for ancient tools.
The liquid inside the nutshell, Dr Luncz explained, discolours the outside of the stone, allowing the researchers to identify the stone tools, and even to test them chemically to confirm what they were used for.
One question the discovery may prompt is whether early human behaviour was influenced by observations of monkeys using stones as tools.
Dr Catherine Hobaiter from the University of St Andrews, who studies primate social behaviour, said that both the tool use findings and the new field of primate archaeology were "fascinating".
"These days if we find a 'new' tool we really shouldn't assume that it was made by humans or our homo ancestors anymore," she told BBC News.
"Either you don't have to be smart to make a tool, or we've been underestimating other species by a long way."
According to this new evidence, the capuchins were using stone tools before European settlers arrived in the New World. But Dr Michael Haslam of the University of Oxford, who led the study, said there was much more to find.
"We definitely don't think we have the oldest activity," he told BBC News.
"We only began this project in the last few years and we have to imagine we're in the same situation as human archaeology was when they started to find the first evidence of stone tools. That [evidence] now goes back more than three million years in Africa.
"So we think we're at the tip of the iceberg."

The staff member has been suspended while it decides whether "internal control processes" were followed.
The UK's central bank said there was no evidence to date that its staff had colluded with forex rigging.
But minutes of meetings suggest Bank officials were aware of rigging attempts as early as 2006.
The minutes were published following a Freedom of Information request.
They show that a senior member of the Bank of England's staff was told of "attempts to move the market" and a meeting with senior foreign exchange dealers from some of the world's largest banks.
It a statement earlier, the Bank said it "does not condone any form of market manipulation in any context whatsoever".
It said an oversight committee will lead further investigations into whether bank officials were involved in forex market manipulation or were aware of manipulation, or at least the potential for such manipulation.
Travers Smith, a law firm, will prepare a report after the investigation. So far, the central bank has reviewed 15,000 emails, 21,000 chat room records and more than 40 hours of telephone recordings.
Meanwhile the Treasury Committee says it will quiz Bank of England officials, including governor Mark Carney, about the forex investigation when they make a scheduled appearance before MPs next week.
Speaking to the BBC, banking expert Philip Augar said the possible involvement of Bank staff in the forex scandal was "embarrassing" for the Bank of England, which acts as a regulator for the market.
Regulators have expressed concern that alleged forex manipulation could become the latest banking scandal.
Traders are alleged to have colluded in setting certain key exchange rates in the foreign exchange market, resulting in big profits.
The head of the Financial Conduct Authority, Martin Wheatley, said last month that currency manipulation was "every bit as bad" as the Libor scandal, where banks including Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and UBS paid fines totalling $6bn relating to Libor fixing.
Mr Wheatley told MPs 10 banks were helping the regulator with its investigations.
Reports seen by the BBC suggest banks knew of unusual currency trading four years before regulators began investigating possible manipulation of rates.
They suggest bank analysts had noticed sharp movements in exchange rates, and even warned their clients about trading at that time.

Responding at Prime Minister's Questions, Mrs May attacked Labour frontbenchers for sending their children to private schools.
The men, aged between 42 and 76, are said to have plotted together to pull off the raid, in which items believed to be worth more than £10m were taken.
They appeared at Southwark Crown Court via video-link from Belmarsh Prison.
One of the accused, John Harbinson, 42, applied for bail but was refused it. The men are next due to appear in court on 4 September for a plea hearing.
During the raid over the Easter weekend, thieves broke into the vault at Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company in London's jewellery quarter.
Once inside, the raiders ransacked 73 safety deposit boxes.
Eight of the accused were arrested during police raids on 12 addresses in London and Kent on 19 May.
Mr Harbinson, a taxi driver from Benfleet, Essex, was arrested two days later.
The other accused men are:
Bashir Naderi, who has lived in the UK for nine years, had his deportation halted by a judge just hours before his flight on 31 October.
More than 30 friends attended a 'Stand up for Bash' awareness event on Tuesday and his old school showed its support.
"The support has overwhelmed Bashir," said friend Gemma Summers, 24.
"He can't put into words how much it means to him, Bash can't believe all of these people would care so much. He's humbled."
Mr Naderi, who was a painting and decorating student at Cardiff and Vale College until his threatened deportation, is with his adopted family in Cathays.
His solicitors have launched a judicial review and Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens is working with his legal team to keep him in the city permanently.
Mr Naderi's girlfriend Nicole Cooper, 24, thinks the Home Office is deporting him now he is an adult, so launched an online petition to give to Home Secretary Amber Rudd.
The Home Office said it could not comment on individual cases.
Mr Naderi's mother paid for her youngest son to be trafficked to the UK aged 10 after his father, an Afghan police officer, was murdered by the Taliban. He has not spoken to his family in Afghanistan since.
AMs Jenny Rathbone, Julie Morgan and Lynne Neagle will show support to Mr Naderi's cause on the Senedd steps on Wednesday by wearing a blue ribbon - the symbol his supporters have adopted.
"I raised concerns in the Senedd last week about the threatened forced removal of Bashir," said Cardiff Central AM Ms Rathbone.
"Events like Stand Up for Bash are critical in both raising awareness of why Bashir should stay and to show the massive support he has from the community and the people of Wales.
"No family in Wales should have to go through this type of forced separation. Holding a Stand Up for Bash event in the assembly shows he has support at the highest level of government here."
It happened at about 01:00 BST between junction 8 southbound for the M50 and junction 9 for Tewkesbury.
Police and paramedics attended. Two people were pronounced dead at the scene.
The M5 is closed between J8 and J9 southbound, and officers are advising motorists to avoid the area.
A diversion has been put in place to exit the M5 at Junction 8 and follow signs via the A417 and A40.
Police had earlier said that three people were dead, but later corrected this information.
The Pro12 leaders were outclassed and made to pay dearly for indiscipline as Racing scored nine tries - five of them before half-time.
Dan Carter kicked faultlessly for 13 points, with man of the match Casey Laulala scoring a hat-trick of tries.
Scarlets' previous biggest loss was 41-0 against Clermont Auvergne in 2008.
The visitors were not helped by the last-minute withdrawal of South African second row George Earle with a calf strain, his place taken by Tom Price.
And they struggled to hold the home team from the outset as Carter opened his account with a penalty and converted Juan Imhoff's outstanding try.
Their resistance collapsed when first Maselino Paulino and DTH van der Merwe were yellow-carded for dangerous tackles midway through the first half.
Tries for former Cardiff Blues centre Laulala and Antonie Claassen quickly followed and, even when Paulino returned, Louis Dupichot ran in brilliantly to claim Racing's bonus point.
Laulala's second touchdown on the stroke of half-time came with Scarlets at full strength. Carter did not miss a kick in the first half.
After the interval, Scarlets' first-half miscreants combined brilliantly with Paulino sending Van der Merwe over after a storming run, and Gareth Davies crossed soon after with Racing's Mike Phillips in the bin.
But a penalty try after a driving maul restored the home dominance, with further tries coming from Imhoff, Johannes Goosen and Laulala.
Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac told BBC Wales Sport:
"They're a class side, very strong across the field from one to 15.
"But I was disappointed in the early part of that first half. There were 21 points scored when we had men off the field and the game was pretty much gone at that point.
"We talked at half-time about putting some pride back in our performance and there were some pretty good things in that second half, but the game itself was obviously gone at half time. So it was very disappointing."

Michael Jones, 46, must serve 25 years for killing his son Adrian. The boy's step-mother, Heather Jones, 31, has already been jailed for the same crime.
Officials say Adrian endured horrific torture in his last year of life, and was fed to pigs after his death.
A Kansas politician has introduced a law requiring people to report abuse.
Representative Louis Ruiz introduced Adrian's Act, which would require family members or residents of the household to report abuse to authorities.
Under current Kansas law, only "mandated reporters", such as healthcare workers, teachers, social workers, and law enforcement officers are obligated to report abuse.
"If you witness child abuse, I don't care if you're a mandated reporter or not, we should report these things," said Adrian's grandmother, Judy Conway, who praised the bill.
The little boy's remains were found in a barn on a property rented by the Jones family in November 2015.
He is believed to have died from starvation months earlier.
Investigators had gone to the home after receiving reports of domestic abuse.
While the couple was awaiting trial, their landlord discovered photos and videos on their computer meticulously documenting the horrific abuse Adrian had endured.
During sentencing, Detective Stuart Littlefield choked back tears as he described the final year of Adrian's life, which he said was the worst crime he had seen in his 23-year career.
"Imagine the screams of a 7-year old boy", Mr Littlefield said describing the abuse.
"And when his killers could no longer stand the stench of his body he was fed to pigs," he said.
Carlisle-based CN Group has transferred ownership of the Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser to community interest company Muckle Toon Media.
It was announced in November that the loss-making weekly title would close unless a new owner could be found.
The Langholm-based community company will now run the paper with printing and publishing help from CN group.
The new not-for-profit organisation was formed by local businessman David Stevenson and a small team.
"We have just got used to local and regional newspapers closing and the increased emphasis about what's on Twitter, Facebook and the internet," he said.
However, he said a chance meeting with two elderly women in the local paper shop convinced him of the importance of the publication to the community.
Mr Stevenson described it as "high risk-low return" in financial terms but "high risk-very high return" for the community.
"We set about working out how much money would be needed to fund it from the losses it is making at the moment to taking it up to break even," he said.
"We think that is probably about 18 months to two years.
"It really depends on the amount of advertising that we can raise - it lives or dies on that."
For editor Rachel Norris and her two staff the deal brings to an end a period of uncertainty.
"It is incredibly important, not only as a high street business on a small high street but it is a fantastic vehicle to get news out to people but also for people to share what is happening in their lives," she said.
"All newspapers are seeing their circulations decline but we are kind of turning it around and going to the community and saying: 'What do you want? What would you like to see in the paper? What would you like to contribute?'."
Mr Stevenson said he believed that whatever happened they would find a model to allow the paper to continue for years to come.
"Papers like this are important, particularly to the older people," he said.
"If you don't have communication, you don't have a community and the Eskdale and Liddesdale paper is very much part of that infrastructure.
"We would lose a lot if it ceased to be there."
Since announcing the scheme last May, the government has struggled to find affordable long-term private finance for the majority of the 261 schools it planned to rebuild this way.
And at least half, 137, will have to wait until the next spending review to have their funding confirmed, it says.
This means battling it out with other departments to secure Treasury funding.
When Education Secretary Michael Gove announced that 261 schools would be built under the priority building programme, he said the majority, 212, would be built and funded by private finance initiatives.
The other 42 schools were to be funded directly by the Department for Education (DfE), though this was later increased to 51 schools.
But a year on, only one potential private finance package - covering seven schools in Hertfordshire, Reading and Luton - is ready for bidding to open by construction companies. They are to be invited to bid on the scheme at the end of this month.
The Department for Education said a further four regional batches, totalling 39 schools, will be finalised and released to bidders over the next 12 months. It is only after such deals are signed that start dates can be set.
And a further 27 are now to be funded directly by the DfE with a £300m sum from its capital budget.
But the rest of the programme, some 137 schools earmarked for the programme a year ago, it added, would now be "delivered using capital funding, subject to the next spending review settlement.
"The timetable for the remaining schools in the programme will be announced after the settlement is made in June."
This means the DfE will have to battle it out with other departments to secure the funding from the Treasury for the scheme. And there has already been speculation that many departments are facing harsher settlements than they may have expected.
Malcolm Trobe, deputy general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said there was no guarantee these schemes would be funded, as extra borrowing would be required to bankroll them.
"There is still an urgent need for a large number of schools that are in poor condition and urgently need significant refurbishment.
"It is good news for those in the first few batches, but very bad news for those further down the line. They have no start date and no guarantee of funding.
"It means they have got no guarantee that their work is going to be completed. It's a very, very slow process and it is going to seem extremely slow for those schools."
A DfE spokesman insisted that all the rebuilds would still go ahead and that the change of strategy was about finding value for money.
He confirmed that there had been "a few concerns about the affordability of the long-term debt and the fact that we wanted to get this work done quickly."
He added: "It's about making the right decision for the taxpayer."
The statement comes just two months after the BBC revealed that that programme was being held up by delays in finding private cash to fund it. At that stage, the delays were denied by Schools Minister David Laws.
Steve Beechey, head of education at the Wates construction company, welcomed the news about the schools that are progressing, but added: "It is a matter of concern that future school spending beyond these schools is not guaranteed.
"Many of the remaining 146 schools in the priority school building programme, who had thought they would be procured via PF2 [Private Finance 2], are in dire need of work, so it is very important that their funding streams are confirmed as soon as possible."
Cllr David Simmonds, Chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board, said:
"Government needs to reassure mums, dads and head teachers that these plans will be put into place quickly and provide definitive time scales on the future of their local schools."
He said that schools were being kept running by councils carrying out repairs, but many of them had been ready to be rebuilt and refurbished for several years.
According to Cllr Simmonds some of the schools were in such bad condition that it was impacting the quality of education.
Stephen Twigg, the shadow education secretary, said: "This government is failing to deliver on school rebuilding...
"This failure will mean pupils are stuck in overcrowded classrooms or under leaky roofs. Parents rightly expect more. Labour would kick start our flatlining economy by bringing forward investment in new school buildings."
Jocelyn Elliott and her husband Ken, who are in their 80s, were snatched from Djibo near the border with Mali.
The couple had provided medical services in the town since the 1970s.
Al Qaeda-linked militants said the kidnapping was an attempt to secure the release of imprisoned fighters, a jihadist monitoring group said.
The group, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), said in an audio recording that it would release Mrs Elliott so as "not to make women involved in the war", according to a translation made by the SITE Intelligence organisation.
Mrs Elliott appeared alongside Niger's President Mahamadou Issoufou in the town of Dosso, Niger's presidential spokesman said.
Efforts to free her husband were continuing, the spokesman added.
Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull confirmed that the Australian government had been in contact with Mrs Elliott following her release.
The couple were kidnapped on the same day as a deadly attack on a hotel in the Burkina Faso capital Ouagadougou, which was also claimed by AQIM.
In response, local people in Djibo launched a social media campaign calling for their release.

The pair last met in the Masters final in January, when O'Sullivan won 10-1.
Hawkins, who beat Zhang Anda 10-5 in round one, also lost to O'Sullivan in the 2013 World Championship final and the 2014 semi-final.
"I've got to try to push if him if I can and see where we go from there," said Hawkins, the world number 11.
"The last few times, Ronnie's just blown me away and I've crumbled.
"If I can get that mentality back that I had in the final a few years ago, when I actually felt I could beat him, hopefully I can give him a decent game.
"If not, he'll bash me up with a session to spare again, I suppose."

Hawkins, from Ditton in Kent, was scathing in his assessment of his performance in the first round at the Crucible, despite finishing off with a 141 break - the highest of the tournament so far.
"I'm delighted to be in the next round," he said. "Tuesday was awful.
"I was so lucky to be 6-3 up. I could easily have been 6-3 down with the way I was playing and the way I was cueing.
"The 141 was a nice way to finish. I had a few 50s and 60s but kept breaking down, which is definitely not good enough. It's probably got no chance of lasting, but you never know."
Hawkins, who has reached the semi-finals or better at the World Championship in each of the last three years, starts his second-round match against five-time winner O'Sullivan on Saturday.

Nicola Urquhart's comments came after Corrie Mckeague's grandparents offered a five-figure reward for information leading to his discovery.
The RAF gunner from Dunfermline went missing on a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 24 September.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Louisa Pepper said she was confident in her team of officers.
She said the force was using an "inordinate" amount of resources in the hunt for Mr Mckeague.
Live: Latest on this story and others from Suffolk
Mr Mckeague's mother Mrs Urquhart said: "The police have behaved in such a way that they have utterly destroyed any faith or trust I have in them actually trying to do something to find Corrie.
"They have absolutely destroyed my belief that they are competent and they know what they're doing.
"This is more than just resources, this is an utter betrayal of trust."
Temporary ACC Pepper said she was "surprised" and "disappointed" by Mrs Urquhart's comments.
"We are using the similar resources we would put into a murder investigation," she said.
"I'm absolutely confident that my officers are doing everything they can to find Corrie.
"They are highly skilled, they are highly professional and they're determined to find him and understand the circumstances around his disappearance."
Meanwhile, Mary and Oliver Mckeague said they are offering a reward to the "individual who provides information that leads to our grandson's discovery and return".
Mrs Mckeague said she believed he might "have gone" with a "third party".
Corrie Mckeague was last seen on CCTV walking alone and eating fast food in Brentgovel Street, Bury St Edmunds, at about 03:20 BST.

A seven-wicket win over New Zealand took Morgan's side into Sunday's final against India or West Indies - 12 months after England exited the World Cup at the group stage.
"Everybody involved has worked tirelessly to get us to this stage and to get us to play in this fashion," Morgan said.
"We've come out and we've delivered."
England have won 19 out of 31 limited-overs games since the World Cup - including nine out of 12 Twenty20 matches - with much of their improvement down to a more aggressive and enterprising approach, especially from the batsmen.
And Morgan says the team will be told to continue to play that way in the final on Delhi.
"The later the stage you get to at a World Cup, the more licence you have as a team and as individuals to go out and express yourself as much as you can, so we'll be encouraging our guys to go out and do that," he said.
Batsman Jason Roy, who hit 78 in England's chase, described the achievement as "overwhelming".
"A lot of hard work has gone into it by all the team and to be in a final with this group of boys is extremely special," he said.
Roy averaged just 13 in this format before the World Twenty20, but is now the tournament's third-highest run scorer.
"People who don't realise how much hard work you put in in the nets and how tough it is mentally," he said.
"I am glad I have been able to right those wrongs and gain a few more people who back me."
Moeen Ali: What a win. Jason Roy - unreal innings. Well played brother and to the team.
James Anderson: Brilliant England. Serious performance. Go on and win it now.
Stuart Broad: The perfect game! Won the toss, bowled well, took chances, had some luck, caught NZ on an off day and Roy lashed it! Final time! #WT20
Ben Stokes: What a team performance that was, great atmosphere at the ground. How good was Jason Roy?
Michael Vaughan: Boooooommmmmm... World Cup Final... Get in, you young England beauties...
James Vince: Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be, we're going to Kolkata, que sera sera.
Brian Lara: Big and brave move @Eoin16 to bowl first and it paid off. Excellent bowling performance set up a great victory. #betterteamwon #goodeffortNZ
Phil Tufnell: What a result for England. I don't think it could have gone much better #top drawer
Mitchell McClenaghan: Really proud of our boys - not quite enough on the day. Credit to England and wish them all the best for the final.
Ross Taylor: England were just too good tonight. Great campaign and thanks to all the fans for all the support over the last month.
Police said the man was seen on the Queens Bridge in Perth at about 04:00 on Saturday and entered the water shortly afterwards.
Rescuers from the police, coastguard, ambulance and fire service were at the scene.
The inshore lifeboat from RNLI Broughty Ferry and a search and rescue helicopter were also involved.
The plane, a new Airbus A400M, reportedly developed a fault just after take-off on a test flight.
Local media say that those on board were Spanish Airbus employees. Two have also been seriously injured.
Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has expressed his sorrow over the incident which took place about 1.6km (1 mile) away from San Pablo airport.
Local media say that the plane had signalled that there was a fault with its systems just before the crash.
The plane reportedly hit an electric power line as the pilots tried to make an emergency landing.
The survivors have been taken to hospital by helicopter. A Spanish interior ministry spokesman told The Associated press news agency that one person had been conscious when they were taken out of the wreckage.
Mr Rajoy said the government was ready to support the families of all of those involved in the accident.
The accident took place in a field just north of San Pablo airport. According to local media, the crash site is close to the Airbus manufacturing plant which assembles the planes.
The Airbus A400M plane model is not yet used by the Spanish military. It is a large transport aircraft that has been ordered by eight countries including Spain to replace a fleet of ageing Hercules aircraft.
Airbus has said that the plane that crashed had been ordered by Turkey.
Local media report that the Spanish government has also agreed to buy 27 of the planes, with the first one due to be delivered to the military next year.
The British Ministry of Defence has temporarily suspended use of its two A400M aircraft, as a precaution.
The crowd of all ages and backgrounds filled Potters Field Park, less than a mile from where three men drove into pedestrians on London Bridge before launching a knife attack in Borough Market.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan led the short ceremony with a defiant speech that was welcomed by applause.
The crowd filled the park and spilled out on to the area around City Hall, a snaking line of people waiting to leave flowers. The area is now a sea of floral tributes.
Hanyah Casam, 14, from Eden Girls School in Walthamstow, said: "I don't think there's an emotion to describe how we feel today. There's so much sorrow and heartbreak and we just wanted to be here to show our support."
Classmate Zahra Salamut, 15, said: "What happened is not a representation of Islam and we are here with love to represent British Muslims."
Doreen Hutchings, 67, from Camberwell, said: "I'm very angry that people think they can come and do this to my city so I wanted to be with other Londoners.
"It's nice there's a real mixture of people young and old from different backgrounds."

He said: "It's really eerie being so quiet but it's nice to see so many people."
Monika Ober-Sahnoun, 31, is from Poland and lives in Greenwich. She said: "I wanted to show the spirit of coming together as a community and showing love and saying 'no' to fear and hate."
The previous driest spell for the four-month period was in 1962-63.
So what has caused this and what has been the impact?
During the last three months of 2016, there was predominantly high pressure over north-west Europe, keeping unsettled and wetter Atlantic weather at bay.
High pressure over Scandinavia in January had the same impact, but brought much colder conditions across Europe too.
However, in Northern Ireland, the severely cold weather did not arrive - temperatures were actually almost one degree above average.
This dry weather has been beneficial to arable farmers.
Robin McKee, a potato farmer in Comber, said it had been "a great spell for potatoes and root vegetables in general, and it's been much easier for the farmers and for harvesting crops".
As far as water levels go, Alison McCrystal of NI Water said a small number of reservoirs, including Silent Valley, had lower levels than usual for this time of year.
However, she said this was not at a worrying level and after more than an inch of rain fell on 30 January, the levels have already started to rise.
The story might be more concerning if the drier weather comes in the summer months, with higher evaporation from the sun coupled with low rainfall amounts.
That is still a way off though, so no sign of hosepipe ban just yet...
The focus of her rage is Universal Pictures, who snapped up a script about the singer's early years in New York earlier this week.
Madonna sought out a copy of the screenplay, called Blonde Ambition, and immediately declared it to be "all lies".
"Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen," the 58-year-old fumed on Instagram.
"Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool. Looking for instant gratification without doing the work. This is a disease in our society."
Penned by first-time writer Elyse Hollander, Blonde Ambition topped last year's Black List, Hollywood's annual chart of the best unproduced screenplays.
The list has previously featured future Oscar-winners such as Spotlight, The Revenant, Argo and American Hustle - so it's no surprise that Universal nabbed the rights.
Two major producers have already been attached to the project, Michael De Luca (The Social Network) and Brett Ratner (X-Men), who himself directed Madonna's Beautiful Stranger video in 1999.
However, it's clear that the project doesn't have the star's approval.
In theory, that's not a barrier to the film getting made, but the script relies heavily on Madonna's music, including Like A Virgin, Everybody and Lucky Star.
If the singer vetoes their use, the project would essentially be dead in the water.
But how inaccurate is Hollander's script?
We read a publicly available draft to see how closely it stuck to Madonna's story.
While the arc is broadly true, Hollander compresses and condenses events, even creating composite characters to keep up the momentum.
Here's what's true, and what isn't.
The first act of the script focuses on Madonna's pre-fame band The Emmys, which she formed with her boyfriend Dan Gilroy and childhood friend Stephen Bray, who went on to co-write Into The Groove, Express Yourself and True Blue.
Their name derived from Madonna's childhood nickname, and video footage of their scrappy garage tunes can easily be found online.
The film insists the group were a cheap knock-off of new wave pop band Blondie, but their sound was more indebted to Britain's ska and 2 Tone scenes.
Madonna can even be heard adopting a British accent in some of their early demos.
One of the script's biggest fabrications was that Madonna and The Emmys had a deal with Sire Records and cut an entire album before Madonna took the songs, erased Dan's vocals and launched herself as a solo artist.
In reality, the band never got beyond making demo tapes; and many of the songs attributed to them in the film - including Borderline and Lucky Star - were written much later.
Madonna even paid tribute to Dan Gilroy when she was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
"He lived in an abandoned synagogue in Queens," she recalled, "and he taught me how to play guitar.
"I practised those four chords that Dan taught me over and over and over again."
At the start of Blonde Ambition, Madonna is seen waiting tables at New York's prestigious Russian Tea Room.
While the star did work at the venue for two months, she was stationed in the cloakroom, and eventually let go for failing to adhere to the dress code.
"She was a hard worker, conscientious," said restaurant manager Gregory Camillucci in 1991.
"I got the impression that the one meal we fed her was the only food she was getting."
Blonde Ambition's biggest sub-plot is Madonna's romance with dance producer John "Jellybean" Benitez, who produced her breakthrough single, Holiday, and remixed others, including Material Girl, Like A Virgin and Dress You Up.
They first met at the influential New York club Fun House, where, according to one observer, Madonna "walked right up to the DJ booth, grabbed him and kissed him".
After that, they dated for two years, during which time Madonna's career exploded - leading to inevitable tensions and the eventual breakdown of their relationship.
However, it's unlikely that their courtship included the sort of "romantic" dialogue Hollander provides in her script.
"You're the first Latin DJ to break out of genre in a heavily white industry and I'm a driven woman in [an] all boys club," says Madonna during one encounter. "We're both outsiders but I'm willing to work the system from within. Are you?"
Throughout the script, entire lines of dialogue are lifted verbatim from Madonna's interviews, including the pivotal quote: "It never occurred to me to get into this business and not be a huge success. I wanted the world to notice me, always have."
In fact, Hollander's reliance on archive clips caught Madonna out during her Instagram rant.
As an example of the script's inaccuracies, the singer singled out a line of dialogue on the first page, in which Madonna tells US TV personality Dick Clark: "I was born in Detroit. I'm a famed high school dropout."
"I was born in Bay City, not Detroit. And I did not drop out of high school. In fact, I went to University of Michigan," Madonna said.
But the interview Hollander quotes is available on YouTube - which might explain why Madonna later deleted her comments.
However, some of her quotes have been placed in a new context.
On page 58 of the script, Madonna tells Jellybean: "I always knew I was going to be a nun or a star. Spending six months in a convent cured me of the first one."
This superb (and untrue) piece of hyperbole actually comes from a handwritten letter Madonna sent to film director Stephen Lewicki, requesting an audition for his movie A Certain Sacrifice.
One of the most well-worn Madonna stories is that Seymour Stein signed her to Sire Records in hospital, hours after having heart surgery.
In the script, this is all at Madonna's behest. So desperate is she to sign the deal that she storms into his ward and practically puts the pen in his hand.
But Stein insists he was the one who summoned Madonna to him.
"I was caught with dirty pyjamas with a slit up the back of my gown," he told Rolling Stone.
"I needed a shave and a shower. But I got it together to meet with her.
"When she walked in the room, I could tell she wouldn't have cared if I was like Sarah Bernhardt lying in a coffin.
"All she cared about was that one of my arms moved, that I could sign a contract.
"What I saw there was even more important than the one song I heard.
"I saw a young woman who was so determined to be a star."
In Blonde Ambition's final scene, backstage at the 1984 MTV Awards, Madonna coldly informs Jellybean that she has aborted their child.
"I won't have to choose between my career and a family now," she says, not even deigning to make eye contact. "And that's how I want it."
Madonna has never suggested she was pregnant in 1984, and Hollander's claim would appear to be based on Christopher Andersen's salacious 1992 biography Madonna: Unauthorized (you can read an excerpt here).
However, Madonna has frequently spoken about having an abortion at the start of her career.
"You always have regrets when you make those kind of decisions," she told Times Magazine in 1996, "but you have to look at your lifestyle and ask, 'Am I at a place in my life where I can devote a lot of time to being the really good parent I want to be?'
"I think you have to be mentally prepared for it. If you're not, you're only doing the world a disservice by bringing up a child you don't want."
(A group of New York Film Students have filmed Blonde Ambition's final scene, should you be interested in watching an am-dram version of the movie).
"I think Madonna's vulgar and tacky," says Cher on the 83rd page of Blonde Ambition. "She's a flash in the pan at best."
Amazing though it may seem, the quote is real.
Madonna even responded to the comment in a 1984 interview with her future biographer J Randy Taborelli, saying: "Who knows tacky better than Cher?"
Half-way through Blonde Ambition, Madonna is desperately seeking a final song to complete her debut album. So she and Jellybean hold an open audition in an indoor swimming pool at the YMCA.
After a montage of dismal musicians playing dismal songs, funk duo Pure Energy walk through the double doors.
Singer Lisa Stevens and bassist Curtis Hudson (bizarrely renamed Richard Curtis in Hollander's script) nervously set up their instruments before playing what will become Madonna's signature song, Holiday.
Great story - but it never happened.
The band originally submitted a cassette demo of the song to Mary Wilson, of The Supremes.
When she rejected it, Holiday was passed on to Jellybean, who presented it to Madonna.
"The song still generates money," Curtis told blogcritics in 2006 .
"Can you live off of one hit? Yes, you can if you get the right hit. It can last you a lifetime. We've been living proof of that. If we did nothing else, the royalties from Holiday could support us."
Madonna's most public mishap came at the 2015 Brit Awards, when she was yanked off stage by a cape.
But it had happened once before - at the first MTV Awards in 1984, when she lost a stiletto while walking down a 17ft (5m) tall wedding cake in her wedding dress (it could happen to anyone).
Although the incident plays a pivotal part in Blonde Ambition - has she lost the baby? - it was never as serious as the script makes out.
"I thought, 'Well, I'll just pretend I meant to do this,'" Madonna later said. "So I dove on the floor and I rolled around. And, as I reached for the shoe, the dress went up. And [my] underpants were showing."
The stumble-flash made television history and propelled Madonna to even greater heights. And that's where the film drops the curtain.

He admitted charges of child cruelty by wilful ill-treatment and assault in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health.
The offences occurred in 2012.
The NSPCC said the man had "inflicted injuries on his children" and it was "right" he was convicted.
The court had heard that the matter came to police attention after an anonymous call from a concerned member of the public to NSPCC.
"This case shows that it's imperative that adults concerned about a child's welfare do ask hard questions if there are any doubts about any injuries," said Neil Anderson, NSPCC's head of services in Northern Ireland.
"This is especially important in cases where the victim is too young to speak out and their only hope lies with those in positions of authority."
Earlier, the court also heard that the man has been classed at a high risk of reoffending, which the defence said was "slightly surprising".
"Clearly significant emotional damage has been caused," the judge said.
He added: "While this is a serious matter, I feel a combination order would be more beneficial to both the defendant and the community."
The man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of his children, was given a 12-month probation order with 100 hours of community service.
Previously, Dungannon Magistrates' Court heard that injuries to the man's son were noticed by a classroom assistant in his primary school.
The boy told her his father had hit him in the face causing the injuries.
The court heard the school decided not to report the incident and opted instead to monitor the situation.
However, social services then attended the school in relation to inquiries into domestic abuse in the children's home setting, and the previous incident was disclosed.
Just over four months later, an anonymous caller said they were told by the two children that their father beat them with a belt.
The court heard that his daughter initially said this had not happened, but later claimed both her father and step-mother beat her with a belt.
A medical examination said marks found on one of the children "could be consistent with belt marks".
In a video interview after the children were removed from the home, the son said both he and his sister were beaten with a belt by their father and step-mother.
He added that he was glad he did not have to go home, as he was afraid of his father.
He said his step-mother had told both children they were not to tell anyone about the beatings.
The court heard the father made no comments to police questions when he was arrested and failed to respond to photographs of the children's injuries.
He then told police that his son's allegations were lies and he had never beaten his children, although he accepted he had witnessed his wife strike the children.
In court, a defence barrister said his client accepted he used a belt to punish the children, but disputed that it caused injuries.
He died on Monday at a hospital in Hawaii, three days after suffering a stroke, his publicist said.
On stage, Woolford played the King of Siam in The King And I opposite Elaine Paige in London's West End in 2001-02.
He also wrote, directed and produced the award-winning 2013 independent film The Haumana.
In 2013, Woolford received a special jury prize at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival for best first feature for The Haumana.
He had just completed the script for a sequel and auditions were set to begin in January, publicist Tracy Larrua said.
He also had small roles in films including Falling for Grace, the 2014 remake of Godzilla and Happy, Texas.
But he was best known for playing Detective James Chang in the remake of Hawaii Five-0, which began in 2010.
Woolford's co-stars from the police drama led tributes on Twitter.
Daniel Dae Kim said: "As talented as you were, I will remember you most for your kindness. Thank you for sharing your light with us, @KeoWoolford. Rest In Peace."
Brian Yang wrote: "So saddened to learn of @keowoolford's passing. From NYC to Hawaii, we miss you."
Actress Lynn Chen also paid tribute to Woolford on Twitter, saying he would be "missed dearly".

Sabah Police Chief Hamza Taib said two police officers and 12 Filipino rebels had been killed at Lahad Datu.
Lahad Datu was occupied in early February by members of a Muslim royal clan from the Philippines calling itself the Royal Army of Sulu.
They are demanding recognition as the rightful owners of Sabah province.
The group - some of them armed - had been urged to end their siege by both the Malaysian and Philippine governments.
Hamza Taib said the killings happened during a 30-minute shoot-out on Friday morning, when members of the clan opened fire as the security forces were tightening a security cordon around the village.
He told the Associated Press that the stand-off was continuing. "We don't want to engage them but they fired at us. We have no option but to return fire," he said.
But confusion remains over what exactly has happened in the remote part of Sabah.
The leader of the gang, Agbimuddin Kiram, told a Philippines radio station that police had surrounded them and opened fire.
"They are here, they entered our area so we have to defend ourselves. There's shooting already," he told Manila-based DZBB radio.
"We're surrounded. We will defend ourselves," he said. The group has put its death toll at 10.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed that two police officers had died and three were wounded, and said between 10 and 12 clan members had been killed.
He said he had given the security forces "full power" to do what was necessary to "defeat" the group, according to Malaysia state news agency Bernama.
"I am very sad over the incident because what we had wanted to prevent, which is bloodshed, had actually happened," the prime minister said.
Mr Kiram, the younger brother of the self-proclaimed Sultan of Sulu Jamalul Kiram III, led the gang of at least 100 from their home on the Philippine islands of Sulu in early February to the shores of Sabah.
The Sulu Sultanate once spread over several southern Philippine islands as well as parts of Borneo, and claimed Sabah as its own before it was designated a British protectorate in the 1800s.
Sabah became part of Malaysia in 1963, and the country still pays a token rent to the Sulu Sultanate each year.
The Royal Army of Sulu wants Malaysia to recognise it as the rightful owner of Sabah, and to renegotiate the terms of the old lease - something Malaysia has made clear it has no intention of doing. | At least 14 people have died in clashes to end the siege of a village in Malaysia's Sabah province by a Philippines clan, police say. | 21,628,758 | 571 | 36 | false |
Sajid Javid added that the effort was "firmly on track" to offer high-speed internet to 95% of UK homes and businesses by 2017.
He said that fast speeds were "totally transforming the way we live and work".
But many have questioned the quality of access and speeds advertised.
Superfast broadband is defined by the European Union as speeds of 24Mbps or above. The UK government's ambition is to provide 95% of the UK with those speeds or higher by 2017, with the rest having a minimum speed of 2Mbps.
By contrast, Finland plans to have a baseline speed that is more than four times faster - 100Mbps - by next year, while South Korea wants to see citizens equipped with 1Gbps connections by 2017.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has said that the UK's broadband target is simply not ambitious enough when compared with other nations and wants the government to commit to delivering a minimum of 10Mbps for all homes and businesses by 2018-19.
John Allan, FSB's national chairman, told the BBC that "there is still a long way to go".
"Small businesses are increasingly reliant on digital services, but too many are without decent and affordable broadband that meets their needs. This restricts their ability to grow, innovate and compete in global markets.
"Leaving 5% of the UK without adequate broadband in 2017 is simply not good enough. "
But the UK government says the current UK coverage of superfast broadband is the highest of the five biggest European economies.
The government has also set aside millions to improve broadband access in rural areas.
But BDUK, the group set up to spend the £530m of government money for the rural internet initiative, has come in for criticism for delays in distributing funds to councils and for awarding every contract to BT.
"Getting fibre to rural areas is hard, and often complex, work, but we are making great progress," said Gavin Patterson, the chief executive of BT, adding that it was laying undersea cables to the Outer Hebrides, for example.
"Some of the early projects are close to completion, and further funds will be released if we come in under-budget or take-up exceeds expectations," he said.
A Commons Public Accounts Committee report criticised the government for wasting taxpayers' money by giving all of its broadband funds to BT.
The FSB has said that coverage in rural areas is "either very poor or non-existent".
Alternative providers are already in place. B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North), for example, offers broadband speeds of up to 1Gbps to about 350 homes currently. But since BT signed contracts with councils around the UK, the plug has been pulled on several community-based schemes.
Malcolm Corbett, head of the Independent Network Co-operative Association, which represents some of the smaller broadband suppliers, told the BBC: "It is great that the rollout programme is making good progress. However, there are far too many homes and businesses in both rural and urban areas that won't see any benefit for some years to come.
"Fortunately there is a growing sector of independent providers that are stepping up to fill the void," he added, citing projects like CityFibre, which is developing a portfolio to bring ultra-high-speed broadband to York, Peterborough, Coventry, Bournemouth, and more.
Andrew Ferguson, the editor of thinkbroadband.com, told the BBC that the focus was now on those 5% of people in the "most remote and hardest parts" of the UK not covered by the current plans for superfast broadband.
He said that £10m had been invested in a series of pilot projects currently under way in eight locations across the nation to work out how best to get broadband to them.
"The findings will be used to inform future funding bids to ensure everyone benefits from the transformation of the digital landscape currently under way," he added. | The UK's culture secretary has said that more than a million properties now have access to "superfast broadband speeds" as a result of a government-backed rollout of the tech. | 28,688,588 | 851 | 42 | false |

Amanda Spencer, Taleb Bapir and brothers Christopher, Shane and Matthew Whiteley were convicted after a trial at Sheffield Crown Court.
Spencer plied one girl with alcohol and threatened violence in order to force her to have sex, while the Whiteley brothers prostituted a 15-year-old girl on the streets of Sheffield.
They will be sentenced on 28 April.
More stories from across Yorkshire
The offences took place between 2006 and 2012.
During a trial, lasting more than six weeks, jurors heard the girls were raped, abused and prostituted after meeting the Whiteley brothers and Spencer at Sheffield's former Castle Market.
Prosecutor Peter Hampton, said Christopher Whitely, 23, who was convicted of eight offences, would appear "charming" at first.
In relation to one victim, he said: "She believed that he was her friend, but over the weeks his attitude to her changed. He became aggressive and forceful. She was frightened of him."
He said a second girl, who was taken to up to 50 properties and forced to have sex with men for money, painted a similar picture of Spencer.
"She was friendly at first but that soon changed. She plied [the girl] with alcohol and began to prostitute her," he said.
"On each occasion she was fearful that Amanda Spencer would be violent towards her."
Bapir, who was convicted of rape, was among the men Spencer forced the girl to have sex with.
Spencer was previously convicted of 16 charges relating to child prostitution and jailed for 12 years.
After the trial Jayne Ludlam, from Sheffield City Council, praised the "bravery" of the victims.
She said: "It sends a clear message to anyone involved in the sexual exploitation of vulnerable young people - you will be identified, pursued and prosecuted."
The convictions:
Christopher Whiteley, 23, of Weakland Crescent in Hackenthorpe, Sheffield: Found guilty of four counts of rape, one child prostitution offence, two counts of sexual assault on a child under 13 and one count of theft. Acquitted of seven counts of rape, one count of conspiracy to rape, one child prostitution offence. The jury were unable to reach verdicts on two counts of rape, one count of conspiracy to rape. He will face a retrial on one charge of rape.
Shane Whiteley, 30, also of Weakland Crescent: Found guilty of one child prostitution offence. Cleared of one child prostitution offence and one count of conspiracy to rape. The jury were unable to reach verdicts on one child prostitution offence and one count of conspiracy to rape. He will face a retrial on one child prostitution offence.

Mrs Wang has been charged with "state subversion", which carries a possible life sentence, and Bao Longjun with "incitement to state subversion".
Both have already been in detention for around six months.
China has been conducting a widespread crackdown on lawyers and their assistants, with scores detained.
Earlier this week, at least seven other human rights lawyers and their associates were formally arrested on similar charges.
Like Mrs Wang and Mr Bao they worked at Beijing law firm Fengrui and had been held in secret since last summer.
Correspondents say that while many of the lawyers detained in the crackdown have since been released, the authorities appear to be taking a strong line against Fengrui, which was known for taking on high-profile cases.
Last month another prominent rights lawyers, Pu Zhiqiang, received a suspended jail sentence after a brief trial for "inciting ethnic hatred" and "picking quarrels" in social media posts.
Rights group Amnesty International called that sentence "a deliberate attempt by the Chinese authorities to shackle a champion of freedom of expression".
Troops began razing homes along the Gaza border in 2013 to create a "buffer zone" and eliminate smuggling tunnels, after a surge in attacks by militants.
But those evicted are given little or no warning, no temporary housing and inadequate compensation, HRW alleges.
The Egyptian government insisted that residents supported the demolitions.
Jihadist groups based in North Sinai, including an affiliate of so-called Islamic State (IS), stepped up their attacks after the military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.
More than 3,600 civilians, security personnel and militants have been killed in the ensuing violence - more than two-thirds of them since the government announced plans for the buffer zone in October 2014 - HRW cited media reports and official statements as saying.
So far, the military has destroyed nearly all buildings and farmland within about 1km (0.6 miles) of the Gaza border using uncontrolled explosives and earth-moving equipment, according to analysis of satellite imagery, videos and interviews with residents by HRW detailed in a report released on Tuesday.
The military aims to eventually clear an area of about 79 sq km (30 sq miles) along the Gaza border, including all of the town of Rafah, which has a population of about 78,000 people, HRW says.
The government says the operation will allow the military to close smuggling tunnels it alleges are used by jihadists to receive weapons, fighters and logistical help from Palestinian militants in Gaza.
But HRW said little or no evidence had been offered to support this justification, citing statements from Egyptian and Israeli officials that suggested weapons were more likely to have been obtained from Libya or captured from the Egyptian military.
HRW also said the authorities had provided residents with little or no warning of the evictions, no temporary housing, mostly inadequate compensation for their destroyed homes - none at all for their farmland - and no effective way to challenge official decisions.
It concluded that such actions violated protections for forcibly evicted residents laid out in UN and African conventions to which Egypt is a party, and might also have violated the laws of war.
HRW said the government had also failed to explain why troops had not used sophisticated tunnel-detecting equipment, for which they have reportedly received training from the US, to find and eliminate tunnels without destroying people's homes.
"Destroying homes, neighbourhoods, and livelihoods is a textbook example of how to lose a counterinsurgency campaign," said Sarah Leah Whitson, HRW's Middle East and North Africa director.
The Egyptian government said it had complied with "recognised international human rights laws and standards to guarantee the protection of the lives and property of citizens and to limit their suffering from adverse living conditions".
"All measures were taken in consultation and co-ordination with the local residents, who are aware and convinced of the importance of their participation in the protection of Egypt's national security and contribution to eliminating transnational terrorism," it added.
In April 2017 the militant group revealed the locations of it weapons caches, and said it had completely disarmed.
But the Spanish government said the group would "get nothing" in exchange. It demanded that Eta "disarm and dissolve itself".
Its announcement followed a decision on 5 September 2010 not to carry out further attacks. In January 2011, it declared a permanent and "internationally verifiable" ceasefire but refused to disarm.
The group - which killed more than 800 people and wounded thousands in more than 40 years of violence - aimed at Basque independence. It had declared at least two ceasefires before, but abandoned them both.
Euskadi Ta Azkatasuna, Eta, whose name stands for Basque Homeland and Freedom, first emerged in the 1960s as a student resistance movement bitterly opposed to General Franco's repressive military dictatorship.
Under Franco the Basque language was banned, their distinctive culture suppressed, and intellectuals imprisoned and tortured for their political and cultural beliefs.
The Basque country saw some of the fiercest resistance to Franco. His death in 1975 changed all that, and the transition to democracy brought the region of two million people home rule.
But despite the fact that Spain's Basque country today enjoys more autonomy than any other - it has its own parliament, police force, controls education and collects its own taxes - Eta and its hardline supporters have remained determined to push for full independence.
Its violent campaign has led to more than 820 deaths over the last 40 years, many of them members of the Guardia Civil, Spain's national police force, and both local and national politicians who are opposed to Eta's separatist demands.
However, in recent years the group has been under pressure. Although it has mounted occasional attacks, experts believe that concerted political and police action has squeezed its capabilities.
Waning support
Certainly the days in the late 1970s, when the group was able to kill 100 people per year on average - just as Spain was awakening from a long dictatorship and moving towards democracy - appear to be long past.
After three people were killed in 2003, Eta refrained from any other deadly attacks until the last days of 2006.
The Eta of today has some logistical networks in France and a pool of a few hundred youths scattered across the borders of the Basque Country, in France and Spain, willing to engage in deadly missions.
French and Spanish police have sought to reduce Eta's capability and the Spanish government and judiciary have banned the political wing of the movement, which seeks an independent state for the Basques.
The logic for banning the political wing, which has operated for the last decade under different names - Herri Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok, Batasuna - is that both wings are inextricably linked.
Banning the political branch, it was hoped, would reduce the flow of funds and support to Eta units, and prevent it gaining political representation.
Spanish and French police, working together, have dealt a number of recent blows to the group.
The arrest of Eta's suspected military head, Garikoitz Aspiazu Rubina, in November 2008, followed the detention of its political commander, Javier Lopez Pena, six months earlier. Both arrests took place in France, long used as a base by Eta.
Since then, French and Spanish authorities have announced the arrest of a string of allegedly senior figures in Eta, giving the impression that they have the group on the run.
At the same, popular support for Eta was slipping away, correspondents say.
This was not only because of the gains made by moderate Basque nationalists, but also because there was a growing feeling that Eta was desperately out of touch with public opinion.
In May 2009, radical separatist parties were excluded from Basque elections.
Basque Nationalists failed to win an outright majority and the Basque parliament voted in its first non-nationalist government in 30 years, led by Socialist Patxi Lopez.
Changing times
Eta's July 1997 kidnapping of a 29-year-old local councillor for the ruling Popular Party in the Basque region, Miguel Angel Blanco, was a turning point in public opinion.
The group demanded that, as a prerequisite for his release, its 460 prisoners who were held in jails all over Spain be returned to the Basque region. The demand was not met.
Blanco was found shot twice in the head. He died in hospital 12 hours later.
Horrified by the young councillor's death, more than six million people across Spain took to the streets over four days to demand an end to Eta violence.
The massive public mobilisation was likened to the marches for democracy that took place towards the end of Franco's regime, and in an unprecedented move some of Eta's own supporters publicly condemned the killing.
The following year, Eta decided to call an indefinite ceasefire.
But that was officially ended in December 1999 after the then government refused to discuss Eta's demands for Basque independence.
The Spanish government had always maintained it would never consider entering talks with the armed group unless it renounced violence.
The Popular Party campaigned for re-election in part on its tough line against Eta and its defence of Spain's constitution in the face of demands for greater autonomy from the Basque country and Catalonia.
But the 11 March 2004 bomb attacks in Madrid introduced a new factor in the equation.
The Popular Party initially said the attacks were the work of Eta, although the finger of blame soon moved to point at Islamist groups.
The electorate rejected the government and voted in the Socialist Party, partly because the Popular Party was perceived to have misled them.
Eta attacks declined in the wake of Madrid bombings, as the group was thought to believe it could no longer achieve its aims by violence.
However, its 2006 ceasefire, described as "permanent", was illusory.
The bombing of a car park at Madrid airport in December of that year left two people dead. Spanish Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba declared the peace process "broken, liquidated, finished".
At least eight people have been killed by the group since then.
The train was travelling between the two biggest cities, Yaounde and Douala, when it overturned near Eseka.
The Associated Press said there were 1,300 people on the train instead of the usual 600.
The train was busier than usual as landslides caused by heavy rains have blocked roads across Cameroon.
Transport minister Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo'o said some 300 people were also injured in the derailment, and that the death toll was likely to rise.
The Italian, who is 29 on Tuesday, has agreed a three-year contract to link up again with manager Ronald Koeman.
Pelle scored 55 goals in 66 matches for Feyenoord under Dutchman Koeman, who was named Saints boss on 16 June.
We need more players to bring the squad to where we need and expect
The former Parma player said: "This is going to be the best choice for me because the club wants to keep improving every year."
He is Saints' second signing of the summer, following the £10.9m arrival of FC Twente attacking midfielder Dusan Tadic.
Pelle initially joined Feyenoord on loan from Serie A side Parma in 2012, before joining the Dutch club on a permanent basis in January 2013.
He moves to St Mary's after Saints sold England striker Rickie Lambert to Liverpool for about £4m last month.
Koeman said: "We needed a good player in that position.
"He's a tall striker with a lot of movement and he's fast. He's a player who gives confidence to the team because he keeps the ball."
Koeman expects to make more signings as he rebuilds his squad following the departures of Lambert and midfielder Adam Lallana to Liverpool, and defender Luke Shaw to Manchester United.
"We know that we need some more players because we haven't occupied all of the positions," the 51-year-old said. "We need more players to bring the squad to where we need and expect."
Saints centre-back Dejan Lovren remains a target for Liverpool, who had a £20m bid for the player rejected last week.
The Saracens centre, 26, has failed to recover from a hamstring injury sustained in Scotland's 26-13 win over Japan in Toyota City last weekend.
No replacement will be flown out. Scotland have cover in midfield with Peter Horne, Matt Scott and the uncapped Huw Jones.
Winger Sean Lamont has also played Test rugby at centre.
Vern Cotter's team, named on Thursday, is likely to show a host of changes from the first Test.
Rory Sutherland, 23, will start his first match for his country at loose-head prop in place of the injured Alasdair Dickinson, who was replaced in the squad by Gordon Reid.
Reid, 29, had his first full training session with the squad on Tuesday. The Glasgow Warriors forward was on an Ayr beach during Saturday's first Test when he was contacted by Scotland team manager, Gavin Scott, telling him he was required in Tokyo.
"I was with the family, it was a nice day on the Costa del Ayr," he said. "I wasn't watching the game but I had it taped. When I got the phone call, I said to the missus, 'Just to let you know, I'm going away'. She was pretty angry, to be honest, because it was such short notice.
"It was just because I was leaving her. She doesn't like us to be apart. Young love, eh? Well, it's getting a bit older love now."
Scotland trained in persistent rain and Reid added: "Looks like I brought the Scottish weather with me."
Last week, Cotter said he would seek to give everyone game time on tour and back-row forward Josh Strauss, not in the 23-man squad in Toyota City, will likely appear from the start.
Flanker John Barclay is carrying an injury but trained on Tuesday. There are slight injury concerns over prop WP Nel and loose forward Ryan Wilson also.
Andres Pastrana of Colombia and Jorge Quiroga of Bolivia were not allowed to visit opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez and former mayor, Daniel Ceballos.
Both prisoners started a hunger strike around a week ago.
State officials said the ex-presidents were part of an hostile campaign against the country.
President Nicolas Maduro has said Venezuela's judiciary is independent and those in jail are criminals.
However, their supporters and rights groups say the two men's imprisonment is politically motivated and accused Mr Maduro of cracking down on his opponents.
Mr Lopez is being held in the Ramo Verde military prison outside Caracas, while Mr Ceballos is in a civilian prison in the central state of Guarico.
The presidents attempted to visit both sites.
Leopoldo Lopez is on trial for inciting violence during three months of protests against the government of President Maduro during which 43 people died including some police officers.
Daniel Ceballos, who was mayor of the western city of San Cristobal near the border with Colombia, which was a focus of many of the protests, is accused of supporting street blockades and calling for violence at the protests.
Last month a group of former world leaders sent an open letter to the Venezuelan government urging the release of the opposition leaders.
In April a former Spanish prime minister, Felipe Gonzalez, who announced his intention to help in the legal defence of Leopoldo Lopez, was also denied access to him.
The Venezuelan attorney general said under the country's law Mr Gonzalez could not form part of Mr Lopez's legal team.
Mr Maduro has been scathing about international support for Venezuelan opposition leaders.
"In general, these former prime ministers are usually discredited. They don't even want them in their own countries and then they come over here to disturb us."
Justin Robertson, 36, was paid £1,500 by Benjamin Carr, 22, to kill his former stepmother Pennie Davis in September 2014, after a long-running feud between the pair.
Robertson had denied murder but was convicted after a six-week trial.
His appeal was dismissed at a hearing of the Court of Appeal in London.
Mother-of-five Mrs Davis, 47, was found dead by her new husband in a field at Leygreen Farm near Beaulieu in the New Forest, where she had been tending to her horses.
She had been stabbed 14 times in an attack described by trial judge Justice Andrew Popplewell QC as "particularly brutal".
Carr, from Southampton, was convicted of conspiracy to murder and ordered to serve a minimum of 30 years.
Margaret Roberts, soon to become Thatcher, twice lost the general election in the safe Labour seat in 1950 and 1951.
But it was the beginning of a political journey that was to see her become the country's first female prime minister.
She would also be remembered negatively in Kent for the closure of the Royal Navy dockyards in Chatham and the last of the county's coal mines.
But she was fundamental in driving forward plans for the Channel Tunnel between Folkestone and Calais, which brought many jobs to the area.
Dorothy Shakespeare, who campaigned with Lady Thatcher in both elections, remembered her as a "warm person".
However, she doubted whether she would be able to climb the ranks in a male dominated world.
She said: "At the end of her [Lady Thatcher's] speech at an eve of poll meeting, the chairman said, 'ladies and gentlemen I would like you to know that you have just been listening to a future prime minister'.
"And I said to myself, 'not in my time'."
Although Lady Thatcher lost twice in Dartford, it was during her campaign that she met her husband Denis before marrying him in 1951.
Another setback occurred when she put herself forward as the Conservative candidate for the former Kent constituency of Orpington, but was rejected in 1954.
The town's current MP, Jo Johnson, said: "History could've been so different in many ways.
"Orpington, which I have the honouring of representing, unbelievably rejected her as a candidate in 1954 and it almost snuffed out her career.
"Back then it was felt a young mother of twins simply couldn't be a candidate."
She eventually was selected for the safe seat of Finchley in North London where she became an MP in 1959.
It was during Lady Thatcher's tenure as prime minister that the Royal Navy dockyards closed in Chatham in 1984.
She was, however, to make two visits to the dockyards after her retirement.
Paul Clark, who was a union representative and former Labour MP for Gillingham, said the decision to close the dockyard had a devastating effect on the Medway towns.
He said: "Some 400 years... of the Medway towns that had been built on the dockyard and all the people that worked there - suddenly overnight that had disappeared.
"That was as a consequence of the strategic defence review that was undertaken by Margaret Thatcher and her defence minister."
However, jobs were brought to the county with the construction and management of the Channel Tunnel.
John Noulton, who is a former director of public affairs at Eurotunnel and played a key role in negotiations with France over the Channel Tunnel treaty, said the project "wouldn't have happened without her".
He said: "What pleases me most is how popular it is with British people who were root and branch opposed to it when it was first proposed.
"And how little adverse impact it has had on Kent and the benefits it has brought to Kent."
The council cabinet has agreed in principle to develop a company to run Bupa Care Ltd homes across the county, after its contract with Bupa expires in May 2017.
The council said the current model did not have the resources to "deliver the required levels of services".
It said it could help develop care services.
A spokesman for Bupa Care said: "We are proud of the high quality of care that we deliver in the 12 homes we operate in Powys, which we lease from the council.
"We were surprised to learn in the local media that the council may set up a company to run these homes after the current contract expires next May.
"No final decision has been made and the council will take the next few months to review arrangements and decide what to do next."

Among them is Dr Michael Jacobs, who leads the specialist infectious diseases team at the Royal Free Hospital in London.
He received a knighthood after helping treat three Britons who caught Ebola while working in Sierra Leone.
Staff who responded to the crisis overseas also received awards.
How Ebola changed the world
Ebola: Mapping the outbreak
Ebola basics: What you need to know
The Ebola virus has killed more than 11,300 people in the last 20 months - most in the worst-affected countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
The disease is spread through close contact with infected fluids, putting health workers caring for patients with Ebola at heightened risk.
British nurses William Pooley, Pauline Cafferkey and army reservist Cpl Anna Cross who all contracted the disease while working in Sierra Leone, were treated at a specialist isolation unit at the Royal Free Hospital.
Dr Jacobs said caring for them in this challenging environment was both a huge privilege and enormous team effort.
He said: "We were up in the unit 24 hours a day looking after the patients, led by the nurses who are working incredibly hard.
"They had to be very, very careful to make sure everyone was safe. And with them were doctors and all the other people looking after them."
He added: "Uppermost in our mind was what the nurses had been through when they were working in West Africa and what they had seen."
The team was also involved in trialling experimental drugs against the disease and by investigating patients in detail, they were able to add to a gradually growing knowledge of Ebola.
Dr Jacobs added: "We also learnt how incredible the NHS can be in an emergency like this and in a crisis. The teamwork between my colleagues was remarkable."
Dr Daniel Martin, an intensive care specialist at the hospital and part of the team, received an OBE.
The same honour went to Grace Jackson, of the Department for International Development, who helped coordinated the response to Ebola in Sierra Leone.
Meanwhile, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office announced that paramedic Collette Kalle was made an OBE for leading a medical team at an Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone.
Omaru Badara Sisay, who also received an OBE for his efforts in coordinating the flow of information in Sierra Leone, said: "Fighting Ebola took some incredible work and sacrifice from over 40,000 Sierra Leoneans, African, British and many other people and organisations who stood up to it there and then."
People working to combat other diseases and broader health issues were also on the honours list, including 10 awards for nurses at MBE level.
Prof Til Wykes, of King's College London, whose research concentrates on developing better treatments for schizophrenia, received a damehood for her work on clinical psychology.
Others include Harpal Kumar, chief executive of the charity Cancer Research UK, who received a knighthood.
Abortions are illegal in Northern Ireland except for cases where the woman's health is at risk.
That has led to women travelling to Great Britain seeking terminations.
But anti-abortion group Precious Life said allowing NI women to access NHS terminations would "run roughshod over the law and the democratic process".
The issue was raised by Scottish Green co-leader Patrick Harvie, who said NI women should have access to the service without facing huge costs.
During First Minister's Questions at Holyrood on Thursday afternoon, Mr Harvie said: "Many women in Northern Ireland find themselves left with no option but to travel elsewhere in the UK to access legal and safe abortion.
"The time and the stress that this costs them is bad enough but there are also significant financial barriers, with some organisations supporting these women estimating that at the low end it costs them at least £400 and in many other cases more than £2,000.
"Does the First Minister agree that the NHS in Scotland should be exploring what can be done to ensure that these women are able to access abortion in Scotland, if that's where they chose to travel to, without facing these kind of unacceptable financial barriers?"
He said abortion should be treated as part of normal healthcare and not "stigmatised".
Ms Sturgeon said she believed that no woman "should ever be stigmatised" for having an abortion.
She added that abortion should not be seen in isolation and was a fundamental part of healthcare.
Ms Sturgeon told the chamber: "I am happy to explore that with the NHS. To explore both what the situation would be right now in terms of accessing safe and legal abortion for women from Northern Ireland within NHS Scotland and whether there's any improvements that are able to be made.
"I believe, like Patrick Harvie, that women should have the right to choose, within the limits that we currently set down in law, and I believe that right should be defended.
"And when a woman, any woman, does opt to have an abortion, and let's stress that is never, ever an easy decision for any woman, then abortion should be available in a safe and legal way."
In a statement, Precious Life's director Bernadette Smyth said abortion was a "criminal offence" in Northern Ireland which "exists to protect both mothers and their unborn children".
"To make provisions for women to access free abortions in Scotland would be to run roughshod over the law and the democratic process in Northern Ireland," Ms Smyth added.
"This will not go unchallenged. There will be a public outcry."
Women from Northern Ireland are not legally entitled to free abortions on the NHS in England following a High Court ruling in 2014, which is being challenged in a legal action at the UK Supreme Court.
The Red Cross said a 55-year-old woman died of a heart attack in Guanacaste, near the epicentre of the quake, and a construction worker was killed when a wall collapsed.
The US Geological Survey said the 7.6-magnitude quake occurred beneath the Nicoya peninsula, 140km (87 miles) west of the capital, San Jose.
A tsunami alert which had been issued for the area has been cancelled.
The quake rattled buildings in some parts of the capital, San Jose, Reuters news agency reported.
Power and communications were briefly knocked out, according to the Costa Rican authorities.
Regional media reported the quake could be felt as far away as Nicaragua and El Salvador.
The US Geological Survey originally said it had a magnitude of 7.9, but revised it down to 7.6.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, which had at first issued a tsunami warning for the Pacific coast of most of Central and South America, has cancelled its alert.
President Laura Chinchillla said Costa Rica's emergency services were surveying the damage.
She said that so far there had been no reports of any serious damage to buildings.
Rugby union's Keelan Giles, Paralympic swimmer Ellie Robinson and gymnast Amy Tinkler make up the final trio from 10 nominated athletes.
The winner will be presented with their award on BBC One's The One Show on Wednesday, 14 December (19:00 GMT).
They will follow in the footsteps of past winners, such as Wayne Rooney, Andy Murray and Ellie Downie.
The top three were picked from an original list of 10, which included Downie (gymnastics), Sophie Ecclestone (cricket), Tom Hamer (Para-swimming), Lauren Rowles (Para-rowing), Georgia Stanway (football), Jess Stretton (Para-archery) and Rebekah Tiler (weightlifting).
In Keelan Giles' first four games for Pro 12 side Ospreys, he scored eight tries, including a hat-trick away to Lyon in the European Challenge Cup.
Ospreys coach Steve Tandy has described the 18-year-old as an "unbelievable finisher" and he has been compared to Wales' record try scorer Shane Williams.
Keelan was called up to Rob Howley's senior Wales squad for the autumn internationals and was one of the stars of Wales' Under-20 Six Nations Grand Slam campaign.
Swimmer Ellie Robinson broke the Paralympic record to win gold in the 50m butterfly at the Rio Games.
The 15-year-old also won bronze in the 100m freestyle, breaking a British record in the process, and has been described as a "great role model to both able-bodied and Para-athletes".
Earlier in the year, at the IPC European Championships, she brought back one silver (50m butterfly) and three bronze medals (50m, 100m and 400m freestyle).
Sixteen-year-old Amy Tinkler gave the performance of her life to take bronze on the floor at the Rio 2016 Olympics, becoming the first female British gymnast to win a medal in the event.
She was the youngest member of Team GB in Rio, and only the second British woman to win an individual artistic gymnastics medal, after Beth Tweddle's bronze in the uneven bars in 2012.
Tinkler also retained her floor title at the British Championships, winning gold for the second year in a row.
This award goes to the outstanding young sportsperson aged 17 or under on 1 January 2016, selected from nominations made to the BBC and by sports governing bodies via the Youth Sport Trust and in partnership with Blue Peter. Nominations closed on 11 November 2016.

A survey into the proposals for Union Terrace Gardens (UTG) was launched two weeks ago.
LDA Design said the aim - including new access from surrounding streets - was to make UTG a "lively cultural hub".
Aberdeen City Council said the survey showed 94% of people thought facilities would improve.
It drew more than 1,400 responses,
New access would be from Union Street and Union Terrace at the existing Burns Monument. The central lawn space would be retained, and there would be a new café pavilion opposite His Majesty's Theatre (HMT).
Four years ago, councillors rejected plans for a £140m transformation of the gardens.
Businessman Sir Ian Wood had offered £50m towards the cost.
Their ascent once seemed irrepressible - a team playing attractive football, backed by a board comprised of primarily local businessmen and, uniquely in the top flight, a fans' representative.
The Swans were lauded as the antithesis of modern football's greed, an antidote to a sport riddled with knee-jerk reactions and short-term thinking.
Now, however, they are just another club in a relegation scrap.
In the midst of their worst run of form since promotion to the Premier League in 2011 and with hostility mounting off the pitch following an American takeover in the summer, the club is at its lowest ebb for years.
So what is going wrong at Swansea?
On paper, a 3-1 defeat by Manchester United may seem a fairly unremarkable result, but Swansea's most recent loss was indicative of the malaise that has consumed the club this season.
The Swans were abject in every facet of the game, booed by their own fans as they trailed 3-0 after just 33 minutes against a United side who had failed to win their previous four league games.
In only his fourth fixture in charge, Swansea manager Bob Bradley questioned his players' commitment as he reflected on their sixth defeat from seven matches.
"It's a tough spot, there's no two ways about it. We understand very clearly where we are," he said.
"There's no hiding from the situation."
A 10th game without victory left the Swans second from bottom of the Premier League table and contemplating the stark prospect of relegation.
This squad is arguably Swansea's weakest since they were in the Championship, with an underwhelming summer transfer window failing to compensate for the departures of former captain Ashley Williams and forward Andre Ayew.
Although their sales were worth a combined £32m, Williams has yet to be replaced properly in central defence and new strikers Fernando Llorente and Borja Baston - the latter arriving for a club-record £15m - have struggled to make much of an impression.
Since Kenny Jackett's appointment when the club was in League Two in 2004, Swansea have evolved and improved almost every year.
This season, however, they have stagnated and are in danger of a first relegation since 2001.
The defeat by Manchester United was significant not only because of events on the pitch, but because of the antipathy brewing in the stands.
Cries of "we want our club back" were heard at the Liberty Stadium, as fans directed their fury towards the club's new American owners, Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan, and the directors from whom they had bought their controlling stake of 68% of shares in the club in July.
Chairman Huw Jenkins - who made more than £8m by selling 8.2% of his 13.2% stake - was singled out for criticism, having previously been praised as the driving force of Swansea's recent rise.
He led the consortium that saved the club, then in the fourth tier, from financial ruin in 2002 but, along with vice-chairman Leigh Dineen and fellow directors such as Martin Morgan, Jenkins is now facing the wrath of the fans who believe their saviours are acting in self-interest.
The Supporters' Trust raised concerns about the takeover, claiming it was not consulted on some decisions, one of which - the final call on Bradley's appointment - prompted an apology from Levien and Kaplan.
Even the Trust, however, has not been without its problems, with the supporters' body also apologising for failing to disclose the payments made to its former representative on the board, Huw Cooze.
The unrest off the field has been particularly striking because it is in such startling contrast to the communal spirit and continuity with which the club has been run in recent years.
Whereas the discord at board level may be out of character, Swansea are no strangers to regular managerial upheaval.
There were four managers between 2007 and 2014: Roberto Martinez, Paulo Sousa, Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup.
A steady and largely smooth succession, these changes were the result of successful tenures - Martinez jumped up to the Premier League with Wigan, Sousa joined Leicester and Rodgers moved to Liverpool, prompting Laudrup's arrival.
The Dane enjoyed unprecedented success in his first season - winning the League Cup, the club's first major trophy, and qualifying for the Europa League - but his sacking in February 2014 sparked a period of instability.
Whereas previous managers left of their own accord and bequeathed teams on the up, Swansea were now faced with the challenge of arresting a slump.
Garry Monk prospered initially but, since Laudrup's departure, the Swans have had four managers in less than three years.
After Alan Curtis' short stint as caretaker and Francesco Guidolin's nine months at the helm, current boss Bradley was thrust into a daunting scenario with Swansea 17th in the table.
The first American to take charge of a Premier League side, the 58-year-old recognised he faced a "huge" job to save his new club from relegation.
It has been a chastening start to Bradley's reign and, after four games, he is still searching for his first win.
After flickers of improvement in his first two matches against Arsenal and Watford, Swansea were comprehensively outplayed at Stoke and then utterly humiliated at home by Manchester United.
Bradley has chopped and changed tactically and in terms of personnel, but the Premier League is an unforgiving environment for a manager trying to familiarise himself with a new squad and a new competition.
With a difficult match away against Everton - and a reunion with former captain Williams - to come on Saturday, it may be some time before Swansea can rouse themselves from their current predicament.
The problem occurred when administration was outsourced to a platform used by financial advisers between 2013 and 2015.
No individuals suffered a loss.
The company apologised, and said clients' money - including pensions and investments - was now properly protected.
The FCA said Aviva had failed to put in place appropriate controls that would ensure investors would get their money back, should the company fail.
"Had Aviva suffered an insolvency event during the period, customers could have suffered loss," it said.
"Other firms with similar outsourcing arrangements should take this as a warning that there is no excuse for not having robust controls and oversight systems in place to ensure their processes comply with our rules," said Mark Steward, director of enforcement and market oversight at the FCA.
In response Aviva, one of the largest pension providers in the UK, said it had strengthened its controls.
It has also established a specialist team to oversee the safety of customers' money.
"This should not have happened and we are sorry," said Andy Briggs, chief executive of Aviva UK Life.
"Aviva's customers have not suffered any loss and there has been no impact on advisers. We have addressed and resolved the issues identified."
Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs) give courts powers including banning people from areas or from drinking in public.
But charity Homeless Link said CBOs, which replaced anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs), prevented homeless people from accessing vital services.
The Home Office said local agencies must determine whether their use of their powers was appropriate.
CBOs were introduced in October 2014 and more than 2,600 are currently active, according to Freedom of Information requests made by the BBC.
Thirty-eight police forces in England and Wales provided statistics.
Breaches incur a maximum five-year prison term.
Ministry of Justice figures show that in 2016, a total of 952 CBOs were issued following conviction at courts in England and Wales.
That figure rose from 707 the previous year, an increase of 35%.
John (not his real name) has a CBO preventing him from entering certain areas of Norwich under certain conditions.
He said he was given the banning order for being drunk in public.
"I kicked off so they decided to give me a CBO," he said.
John, an alcoholic, said the order stopped him from getting the help he needed, located in the city centre.
"I have to go into a shop and nick a sandwich because I can't come into the city centre," he said.
Dale Parker, co-founder of The People's Picnic, which provides home-cooked meals to help vulnerable people in Norwich, said CBOs failed to address the underlying issues of criminal behaviour and isolated the most vulnerable homeless people.
"The majority of services and outlets where people come to get food or the basics are in the city," he said.
"More often than not, the only crime those people have committed is the crime of being poor."
Jacqui McCluskey, of Homeless Link, the national membership organisation for homelessness charities in England, said issuing CBOs to those most in need was "no answer" to the rising numbers of people sleeping rough or finding themselves homeless.
She said the focus should instead be on providing the support needed to help people off the streets for good.
"We would urge authorities to work in partnership with local homelessness services to identify those who are sleeping rough and ensure that effective support is in place, including long-term solutions such as personal support, assistance into employment and increased availability of low-cost housing," she said.
"The priority needs to be tackling the root causes of homelessness, rather than punishing the most vulnerable in society."
Sgt Mark Shepherd, public order tactical adviser for Norwich, said the orders allowed individuals access to the services they needed, and did not accept they led to further crime.
He said: "Each one is for an individual person, at the same time identifying those services that can take them away from their offending lifestyle."
A Home Office spokesperson said: "We are determined to help the most vulnerable in society.
"We are clear that the anti-social behaviour powers should be used to tackle anti-social behaviour, not to target the most vulnerable in our communities. It is for local agencies to determine whether their use of their powers is appropriate.
"We are working to tackle anti-social behaviour, while also supporting people to move on from a life on the streets."
The Commons backed the Welfare Reform and Work Bill at Second Reading by 308 to 124 votes.
But scores of Labour MPs defied orders to abstain and instead voted against the bill, which includes plans to limit child tax credit to two children.
Forty-eight MPs are thought to have defied the leadership over the issue.
The LabourList website said those who rebelled included leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn and London mayoral candidates Sadiq Khan and David Lammy.
During a five-hour debate one MP, John McDonnell, said he would "swim through vomit" to oppose the legislation.
However, a Labour amendment seeking to derail the legislation was also defeated by 308 votes to 208.
Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman has faced criticism for her stance on the issue, with many MPs saying she should have been more outspoken in her opposition to curbs on child tax credits and cuts to other in-work benefits.
The scale of the Labour rebellion will not be known until details of the Commons divisions are published later.
However, there are reports that just under 50 MPs may have defied the leadership, more than 20% of the parliamentary party. Among those expected to vote against was leadership contender Jeremy Corbyn.
His three rivals, Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall, are thought to have followed Ms Harman's lead and abstained.
Reacting to the vote, Labour MP Diane Abbott tweeted: "Just voted against Tory welfare bill. Sorry for colleagues who knew it was wrong but abstained. We weren't sent to Parliament to abstain."
Conservative MP and chief secretary to the Treasury, Greg Hands, tweeted: "47 Labour rebels on welfare tonight. Huge. Biggest Labour rebellion for some time. Leadership crisis without actually having a Leader!"
The bill, which also seeks to lower the overall household benefit cap from £26,000 a year to £20,000 (£23,000 in London) and to train a further three million apprentices, has now cleared its first parliamentary hurdle and will now move onto more detailed scrutiny.
In a passionate debate, Conservative MPs lined up to support the measures while many Labour MPs said they could not support the bill, which was also opposed by the SNP, the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and the Greens.
Mr McDonnell said: "I would swim through vomit to vote against this Bill and listening to some of the nauseating speeches tonight I think we might have to.
"Poverty in my constituency is not a lifestyle choice, it is imposed upon people.
"We hear lots about how high the welfare bill is, let's understand why that's the case.
"The housing benefit bill is so high because for generations we've failed to build council houses, we've failed to control rents, we've done nothing about the 300,000 properties that stand empty in this country."
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said Labour was beset by "internal fear and loathing" and that the bill would put welfare funding on a "more sustainable footing" while protecting those most in need.
Speaking after the vote, he said: "Nearly 50 Labour MPs have defied their leadership and opposed our welfare reforms which will move our country from a low wage, high tax and high welfare economy to a higher wage, lower tax and lower welfare society.
"It's clear that Labour are still the same old anti-worker party - just offering more welfare, more borrowing and more taxes."
Scientists examined the best ways of checking for non-native wildlife for a report commissioned by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).
An estimated 58 invasive species cause at least £40m worth of damage a year to UK marine industries, the report said.
The harmful wildlife include algae and Pacific oysters.
The scientists tested several techniques for monitoring non-native species at sites on Scotland's west coast, including Loch Fyne and Firth of Lorn, and the Firth of Forth on the east coast.
Objects checked for alien life included the submerged bottoms of Northern Lighthouse Board navigation buoys.
The report has recommended that a network of sites could be surveyed for the presence of invasive plant and animal life.
The visitors, searching for a swift reprieve after their 6-1 drubbing at Bromley, were almost gifted an early lead when Woking's Josh Staunton headed just past his own net from Joe Ward's tricky ball back to him.
That was as close as either side came before the interval, but Orient got the breakthrough they deserved as Bonne converted Jake Caprice's fine cross after 50 minutes.
The 21-year-old striker, who spent a spell at Woking last season, then got his second of the afternoon with a cool finish late on to wrap up the points for the visitors.

The MKIIa 'P7350′ aircraft flew over the Yorkshire Air Museum in Elvington as part of the venue's Thunder Day event.
The plane is thought to be the oldest flying Spitfire in the world and the only one still flying that took part in the Battle of Britain.
It was withdrawn from service in April 1942 after two years in operation.
A spokesman for the museum said: "To have this aircraft, which is a remarkable survivor of the Battle of Britain, allocated for our event is truly wonderful and we anticipate a good crowd turning out to see it."
The binmen made the private collections while carrying out collections in St Peter Port, leading to the parish being overcharged for waste being dumped.
The binmen were ordered to carry out community service last year.
The money from the States has been paid to the parish, but will be passed on to residents through reduced refuse rates.
Senior Constable Dennis Le Moignan said: "I am pleased that we have been able to settle this by negotiation and I am content that we have negotiated a fair and reasonable settlement for St Peter Port ratepayers."
The level of the compensation was calculated by looking at the difference between the amount of waste collected before and after the fraudulent collections were discovered.
Colette Falla, public services deputy chief officer, said: "All our staff are aware of their responsibilities, which is the main guard against something like this ever happening again.
"However, we also acknowledge the historic record-keeping was not what we consider sufficient now, so we have also made some procedural changes in recent years.
"Those changes, such as installing trackers on all our vehicles, were not all directly a response to this case. However, they provide additional reassurance, should it be needed."
The Cold War era rule previously stipulated that Cubans could only enter or leave by plane.
Cruise operator Carnival has been given permission by both governments to run ships between Florida and Cuba.
But the restriction meant it could not take bookings from Americans of Cuban origin.
That led to protests and the company said it would postpone its cruises unless Cuba changed its entry policy.
What is behind the US-Cuba thaw?
How times are changing in Havana
The first US cruise to Cuba in 50 years is due to set sail from Miami on 1 May with up to 704 passengers on board.
Last month Barack Obama became only the second US president in history to visit Cuba, after Washington and Havana restored diplomatic relations last year.
Days later, the Rolling Stones played their first concert in the country.
The high court deemed laws prohibiting brothels, communicating in public with clients and living on the profits of prostitution to be too sweeping.
The ruling follows a court challenge filed by former and current sex workers.
The justices' decision gives the Canadian government one year to craft new legislation.
All nine of the court's judges ruled in favour of striking the laws down, finding they were "grossly disproportionate".
"It is not a crime in Canada to sell sex for money," Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin wrote in Friday's decision.
Canada's criminal code currently makes it illegal to keep a brothel, communicate in public about acts of prostitution or live off its proceeds.
But Justice McLachlin wrote: "Parliament has the power to regulate against nuisances, but not at the cost of the health, safety and lives of prostitutes.
"The prohibitions at issue do not merely impose conditions on how prostitutes operate.
"They go a critical step further, by imposing dangerous conditions on prostitution; they prevent people engaged in a risky - but legal - activity from taking steps to protect themselves from the risks."
Under the ruling, the Canadian parliament has 12 months to rewrite the legislation or it will be withdrawn.
Anti-prostitution laws will continue to be enforced in the meantime.
Canadian Justice Minister Peter MacKay said the government would reflect on "this very complex matter".
"We are reviewing the decision and are exploring all possible options to ensure the criminal law continues to address the significant harms that flow from prostitution to communities, those engaged in prostitution and vulnerable persons," his statement said.
A Canadian women's rights group condemned the court's decision, saying it was a "sad day".
"We've now had confirmed that it's OK to buy and sell women and girls in this country," Kim Pate, executive director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
"I think generations to come - our daughters, their granddaughters and on - will look back and say, 'What were they thinking?'"
A constitutional challenge by three women with experience in the sex trade, Terri-Jean Bedford, Amy Lebovitch and Valerie Scott, prompted the case.
In March, the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld a ban on communicating for the purpose of prostitution, a decision which Ms Bedford challenged.
The federal and Ontario governments appealed against two other parts of that decision: striking down the law against brothels; and limiting the ban on living off the avails of prostitution.
The Canadian authorities argued that they should be entitled to legislate against prostitution as they "see fit".
Lawyers for the Ottawa government reportedly claimed "if the conditions imposed by the law prejudice [sex workers'] security, it is their choice to engage in the activity, not the law, that is the cause".
But the Supreme Court ruled it was not a choice for many.
"Whether because of financial desperation, drug addictions, mental illness, or compulsion from pimps, they often have little choice but to sell their bodies for money," Justice McLachlin wrote.
The plans will see Northampton's Vulcan Works turned into an Institute for Creative Leather Technologies and Leather Conservation Centre.
The buildings between Guildhall Street, Fetter Street and Angel Street were central to the town's shoe trade.
Northampton Borough Council backed the scheme which could create 300 jobs.
Units for other creative industries will also be built, along with a new three-storey building on Angel Street.
It is hoped construction work will start later this year.
Rachel Garwood, director of the Institute, which is part of Northampton University, said: "It's really exciting to bring leather back to the centre of Northampton.
"It will invigorate Northampton, add to the cultural quarter and give the student a better experience."
Tim Hadland, council cabinet member for regeneration at the council, said: "This is a big step forward for the project, and although there is much work to do before we can get under way.
"Northampton is a hive of creativity and this centre will become a focus for that activity, generating real benefits for the businesses involved, and our town centre's vitality.
"Leather is part of our history but this project is really focused on our future by ensuring that our Cultural Quarter and creative industries continue to set us apart."
The Vulcan Works was built in 1875 for engineering company Mobbs & Co and was later turned into a leather warehouse.
The building has been largely empty since the late 1970s.
Authorities said two to three candidates will be nominated by a "broadly representative" committee.
The decision is expected to limit the selection of candidates to pro-Beijing figures.
The pro-democracy Occupy Central movement says it will launch a sit-in in the city's central business district in protest.
The election for Hong Kong's chief executive is due in 2017 and will be the first time the holder of the post is directly chosen by voters.
The Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress said in its decision that while the election would represent "historic progress", "the sovereignty, security and development interests of the country are at stake," and therefore "there is a need to proceed in a prudent and steady manner".
The pro-democracy Occupy Central movement condemned the decision, saying it had "dashed people's hopes for change and will intensify conflicts in the society".
"We are very sorry to say that today all chances of dialogue have been exhausted and the occupation of Central will definitely happen," the group said.
On Saturday China warned foreign countries against "meddling" in Hong Kong's politics, with an article in a state-run newspaper accusing some in Hong Kong of "colluding" with unnamed "outside forces".
A foreign ministry spokesman was quoted as saying this would "absolutely not be permitted".
The decision from Beijing comes in amid a huge debate in Hong Kong over its relationship with the mainland.
In June, almost 800,000 people cast ballots in an informal referendum organised by Occupy Central on how the chief executive should be chosen.
This was followed by large-scale rallies held by both sides.
Hong Kong is a former British colony now governed by China under the principle of "one country, two systems". It has retained wide legal and economic powers since being handed back to China in 1997.
But some activists are worried that China's central government is seeking to exert greater political control over the territory.
Also on Sunday, the pro-Beijing leader of the neighbouring territory of Macau was re-elected unopposed by an election committee composed mostly of Beijing loyalists.
A small group of pro-democracy activists protested outside the venue, saying the election would be meaningful only if all citizens could have a say.
More than 90% of voters who responded to a week-long unofficial referendum on the city's political future said they wanted to directly elect their leader.
The statistics are measured using the Northern Ireland Composite Economic Index (NICEI), which is roughly equivalent to Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
They are the most up-to-date figures for the economy.
They showed a contraction of 0.1% compared to GDP growth of 0.7% for the UK as whole in the same period.
Over the year, growth in Northern Ireland was 1.3% which was below the UK performance of 2.6%.
The marginal decrease in the NICEI over the quarter was driven jointly by falls in production and manufacturing output and a decrease in public sector jobs.
Those decreases were partially offset by increases in the services and construction sectors.
The figures suggest recovery may finally be taking root in the construction sector as it made the largest contribution to growth over the year to June 2015.
The overall NICEI is now 3.5% above the low point reached in the third quarter of 2012.
But the recovery in the Northern Ireland economy has been much slower and weaker compared to the UK as a whole.
Many economists expect growth in Northern Ireland to slow in the medium term as the private sector attempts to take up the slack created by lower government spending.
Casper won the US Open in 1959 and 1966 and the Masters in 1970, and claimed 51 PGA Tour titles between 1956 and 1975.
The PGA Tour said Casper suffered a heart attack and died at his home in Springview, Utah, on Saturday.
Jack Nicklaus was among those to pay tribute and said of the "underrated" Casper: "Those who did compete against him knew how special he was."
Nicklaus, 75, who won a record 18 major titles in his career, added: "When I looked up at a leaderboard, I wasn't just looking to see where a Palmer or a Player or a Trevino was. I was also checking to see where Billy Casper was."
Gary Player also paid tribute to his former rival, saying: "I played a lot with Billy, and I always thought Billy had a wonderful short game.
"He was always a thorough gentleman."
Casper was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1978 and sits seventh on the PGA Tour's all-time victories list.
The Battel Bonfire Boyes told the BBC they had plenty of control measures in place for their procession on Saturday.
The Hop Farm in Kent has extra security guards, extinguishers and water barrels for four days of fireworks, and is checking visitors for sparklers.
The Fire Brigades' Union (FBU) has gone on strike in a dispute over pensions.
Bonfire traditions are particularly strong in Sussex with processions held throughout the autumn months, but the FBU said the timing of the strike would not put people in danger.
Jim Parrott, from the FBU, said: "People are put at risk 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. The timing of this doesn't make any difference to that. They're always at risk."
Fire Minister Penny Mordaunt has said fire and rescue authorities have "robust" plans in place for the weekend.
Southeastern has laid on extra trains for the Battle Bonfire Boyes event on Saturday, with additional services between Hastings, Battle and Tonbridge.
One of the biggest bonfire events in the UK takes place in Lewes on Wednesday. About 30,000 people attended last year.
The cabinet issued the order last week, but did not announce the move, ahead of a convention in Germany next month.
The decision seems to have surprised the UN, which apparently only became aware of it when informed during a phone call by the Canadian Press.
Canada ratified the treaty to fight global drought in 1995, along with 154 countries and the European Union.
The cabinet order "authorises the minister of foreign affairs to take the actions necessary to withdraw, on behalf of Canada, from the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, in those countries experiencing severe drought and/or desertification, particularly in Africa".
Canada's withdrawal comes ahead of a major convention in Bonn, Germany, "to carry out the first ever comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of desertification, land degradation and drought", the UN Environment Programme said.
At the meeting, member countries will also for the first time be required to submit data on poverty and land cover in areas impacted by desertification.
The UN secretariat in Bonn said Canada had not officially informed them of their plan to leave, the Globe and Mail newspaper reported.
A spokesman for Canada's International Co-operation Minister, Julian Fantino, told the newspaper that membership of the convention had been expensive while yielding little benefit.
But critics say Canada is isolating itself by withdrawing and the decision should have been publicly announced.
Canada's conservative-led government has adopted policies in recent years that have dismayed aid groups.
Canada left the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gases in 2012, becoming the first country to do so. Japan, Russia and New Zealand have since opted out, too. The US never joined the treaty.
Last year, the Ottawa government also announced plans to cut 7% out of its foreign aid budget by 2014-15.
Almost 1,500 adults were sent to another area in 2014-15 as an outpatient or day patient.
The Scottish Liberal Democrats, who released the data following a Freedom of Information request, warned there was a "struggle" to cope with demand.
The Scottish government said mental health was an "absolute priority".
The figures also suggested that more than 150 children under 18 were also sent outside their area last year.
Jim Hume, health spokesman for the Scottish Liberal Democrats, said: "Whilst there are sometimes good reasons behind why a patient is sent out of their health board for treatment, it's clear that mental health units across the country are struggling to cope with demand on their services.
"It is welcome to see that the number of under 18-year-olds receiving mental health treatment as inpatients outside their health board of residence dropped last year.
"But there are still far too many young people having to travel away from home for treatment."
He added: "We know that last year there was an increase in the number of adult inpatients sent to other health boards compared to the previous year.
"We know there are no dedicated mental health beds for young people north of Dundee.
"We know that the proportion of NHS spending on mental health has dropped.
"We know units such as the one at Stracathro Hospital for out-of-hours emergency mental health assessments have had to close due to lack of staff.
"What we don't know is when SNP ministers are going to start taking mental health seriously."
Mental Health Minister Jamie Hepburn said: "Last month's budget included an extra £50m for mental health over the next five years - increasing the mental health fund from £100m to £150m to extend capacity, improve access to services and promote innovation and new ways of treating people.
"Demand for services is increasing significantly. The number of people seen by child and adolescent mental health services has risen by 27% in the last year - more than 900 extra patients in the quarter ending September 2015."
He said the government was "investing heavily" in the workforce in response but added: "However, on occasion people will be treated outside their board areas. Care and support is provided in the most appropriate environment, regardless of board boundaries.
"In some cases it can be appropriate for a patient to travel outside their health board area where specialist or urgent care is required.
"Such circumstances are kept to a minimum and always dictated by clinical need and benefit to the patient."
Mr McKay and Thomas O'Hara are alleged to have coached Mr Bryson before his appearance at Stormont's National Management Agency (Nama) inquiry.
The DUP has complained to the Assembly Standards Commissioner.
Mr McGuinness said any investigation would vindicate Sinn Féin.
The claims emerged after leaked Twitter messages between Mr Bryson, Mr McKay and Mr O'Hara were obtained by the BBC's Nolan Show and The Irish News.
The messages were exchanged before Mr Bryson testified at a finance committee inquiry, chaired by Mr McKay, into the £1.2bn sale of Nama's property loan portfolio in Northern Ireland.
That inquiry was set up last year due to political controversy over the deal.
Deputy First Minister Mr McGuinness said he wanted to see the inquiry expedited swiftly.
"I do believe the outcome of that will vindicate everything that I have said in the course of the last 24 hours about the non-involvement of the Sinn Féin team at the assembly," he said.
"I have absolutely no concerns about that whatsoever."
Daithi McKay resigned as an MLA on Thursday and apologised for his actions. Sinn Féin has suspended Mr O'Hara.
On Friday, Mr Bryson denied that he was the source of the leaked messages and said he had started "the legal process of making an application to the Secretary of State under the inquiries act, asking for a full public inquiry into the Nama scandal".
DUP Chairman Maurice Morrow submitted his complaint to the Assembly Standards Commissioner, citing paragraph three of the Stormont code of conduct which emphasises the need for MLAs to act with integrity and not bring the assembly into disrepute.
The commissioner has the power to investigate former MLAs.
The Nama inquiry was investigating an allegation made in the Dáil (Irish parliament) that a politician or political party in Northern Ireland stood to profit from the loan sale.
Last September, Mr Bryson used a meeting of the committee to name former DUP leader Peter Robinson as the individual he referred to as "Person A" in relation to the scandal.
The then first minister of Northern Ireland strongly denied he had sought to benefit in any way from the multi-million pound property deal.
On Thursday, Mr McKay stood down, accepting that his actions were "inappropriate, ill-advised and wrong".
The clock is ticking on finding his replacement, says BBC NI's Political Editor Mark Devenport, as Sinn Féin would have to co-opt another party member to take over as an MLA within the next seven days in order to avoid triggering a by-election.
Boro opened the scoring after Gaston Ramirez was fouled in the box by Joel Lynch and captain Grant Leadbitter made no mistake from the spot.
From the kick-off Ramirez collected a loose ball, rounded keeper Jed Steer and netted from a tight angle.
The Uruguayan's curled free-kick from 25 yards in the second half rounded off a fine performance from Boro.
Huddersfield enjoyed the majority of the early possession but the home side looked dangerous on the counter-attack as Ramirez set Jordan Rhodes free - only for the striker's shot to be tamely deflected into Steer's arms.
And an exquisite turn in the box from the loanee midfielder outfoxed defender Lynch, to gift Boro the simplest of opening goals.
Having failed to score in his five matches for Southampton this season prior to his move to the Riverside, Ramirez netted his fifth and sixth goals in a Boro shirt, with two goals of Premier League quality.
Victory sees second-placed Boro secure three consecutive wins for the first time since December and they also have a game in hand on Burnley with seven matches left to play.
The Terriers meanwhile remain eight points above the drop zone in 18th and look to have ensured another season in the Championship.
Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka:
"Gaston Ramirez was the player who changed everything.
"For the first 25 minutes we looked as if we were playing for nothing. He was the difference between Huddersfield and us.
"I think it was his best game for us. He scored, he worked and he came up with an assist for the penalty - the things we expected when he came here."
Huddersfield head coach David Wagner:
"The goals we conceded were too easy. Each of them were presents.
"We lost the ball too easily and were not able to keep it as long as we usually do.
"If you like to get a result against such a good team as Middlesbrough at this stage of the season - when they are very focused - then you have to make nearly everything right." | One of China's most prominent rights lawyers, Wang Yu, and her lawyer husband have been formally arrested and charged with subversion.

Those "problems" were unsubstantiated, Maj Gen Kenneth Dahl told a courtroom in San Antonio, Texas.
Sgt Bergdhal was captured by the Taliban and released after five years in a controversial prisoner swap.
He is charged with desertion and misbehaviour before the enemy.
The hearing at Fort Sam Houston, at which Sgt Bergdahl did not testify, was held to determine whether there is enough evidence to have a military trial.
Sgt Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban just 24 hours after he left his post in 2009 and he was finally released last year in exchange for five Taliban commanders held at US detention centre Guantanamo Bay.
The move sparked controversy in the US with Republicans saying the deal could have put American lives at risk.
Gen Dahl said he did not think Sgt Bergdahl should go to prison.
If convicted, he faces life in prison or a dishonourable discharge from the military.
Commanding officers from his unit testified on Friday that searching for Sgt Bergdahl put other soldiers in danger.
He originally wanted to end up at a forward operating base about 19 miles (30km) away and create a "PR event" that would enable him to get the attention of a general, the court heard.
"He felt it was his duty to intervene," said Gen Dahl of Sgt Bergdahl's reasons for leaving the unit, and said his perceptions about issues were "completely off the mark."
The soldier felt the problems were so severe that they put his platoon in danger, but that was not true, said the officer.
Sgt Bergdahl had claimed another soldier in his unit kicked rocks over Afghan graves, but that was not substantiated.
A Department of Defense employee who helped debrief Sgt Bergdahl after his release told the court he had been kept in conditions akin to those experienced in the Vietnam War.
The injuries sustained were both physical and mental, the court heard. | US Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl left his post in Afghanistan six years ago to express concerns with his unit's leadership, an officer has testified. | 34,298,239 | 456 | 36 | false |
Craig William Dearie, 24, from Cheshunt in Hertfordshire, was found dead in a tent at Global Gathering on 28 July.
A verdict into his death ruled he died of natural causes due to Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome (SADS), said Warwickshire Coroners' Office.
Up to 40,000 people are thought to have attended the event at Long Marston airfield near Stratford-upon-Avon.
The SADS Foundation website describes the condition as "heart rhythm abnormalities that can cause sudden death in young, apparently healthy people who are undiagnosed".
As part of the initiative Strathclyde Police refer youngsters for intensive support from the charity, Includem.
A report, by the charity, looked at the progress made by 23 teenagers, aged 14 to 18, by March this year.
Among nine teenagers who left the scheme there was a 47% reduction in the offences they were charged with in the six months after moving on.
The charity also reported a 62% reduction in offending, with a 73% reduction in violent offences, for those still being supported by the project.
The two-year initiative, which started last January last, is funded by the Scottish government and the Robertson Trust.
The teenagers referred to Includem were responsible for crimes including possession of an offensive weapon, police assault and vandalism.
The charity looked at the six months prior to them joining the scheme compared to the six months after they left.
Angela Morgan, chief executive of Includem, said: "The reason they were singled out and referred to us was because they were reoffending and particularly difficult for police and others to work with."
"When you look at the backgrounds of young people we work with they have not had good experiences of what adults are.
"This is not an excuse. We are very challenging to young people. But we show them how it can be different and give them that bridge."
Includem estimated the project costs £6,656 per young offender every six months, on average.
Ms Morgan said the cost was far lower than the estimated £40,000 per year if they went to jail.
She said: "In terms of saving money and putting young people on a path to better outcomes, we've achieved a lot in a relatively short space of time."
The programme is voluntary but offenders referred to it attend around 80% of all appointments, the report said.
Sandra White, SNP MSP for Glasgow Kelvin, said: "Strathclyde Police are showing the way with this scheme which has achieved an enormous amount in a short period of time.
"Events in England over the last week underline the importance of projects like this and I am certain other forces will now be looking to learn from what is being achieved by Includem.
She added: "The Scottish Government's investment in 1,000 extra police officers has also helped drive crime rates down to a 32-year low and make Scotland's streets safer.
"There is absolutely no complacency, and there is always more to do to make our streets safer."
The creature has eluded scientific classification since the first fossil was discovered 175 years ago.
The extinct hyolith has a cone-shaped shell, tentacles for feeding and appendages that acted as "feet".
It belongs to an invertebrate group that includes animals such as the horseshoe worm, say scientists.
Joseph Moysiuk, of the University of Toronto, made the discovery after analysing more than 1,500 specimens dug out of rocks in Canada and the US.
"Hyoliths are small cone-shaped sea dwelling animals. They are known from all around the world, mostly from fossils of their shells," he told BBC News.
"They appear in the fossil record about 530 million years ago and survived until about 250 million years ago.
"But the question of where hyoliths actually fit into the tree of life has been somewhat of a mystery for the last 175 years, since they were first described."
The research, published in the journal Nature, analysed soft tissue preserved in "very special fossils" from a site in Canada known as the Burgess Shale.
In the past, hyoliths have been interpreted as being related to molluscs, which are common today and include squid, clams and snails.
The new research suggests the animals are in fact more closely related to a different group of shell-bearing organisms, known as lophophorata, which includes brachipods (lamp shells), among others.
Hyoliths were present from the beginning of the Cambrian period about 540 million years ago, during a rapid burst of evolution that gave rise to most of the major animal groups.
"Being able to place them on the tree of life, it solves this long paleontological mystery about what these creatures are," said Joseph Moysiuk.
"We have been able to discover some new features of a very old group of fossil animals, and it's allowed us to reveal the evolutionary history of this group of animals and where exactly they sit on the tree of life."
Dr Martin Smith, of the University of Durham, UK, also worked on the fossils.
He said by placing hyoliths in their rightful home and understanding how they lived, scientists now had a better picture of life in the ancient seas.
This gives an insight into the impact of mass extinction events such as the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, which wiped out most animal life, including the hyoliths.
"Understanding the effects of such mass extinctions on ecology and diversity is particularly important as we seek to appraise and mitigate the implications of the current mass extinction event brought about by human activity," Dr Smith said.

Dublin's High Court heard he will pay 10,000 euros (£7,800) a year for the next two years to the court official overseeing his bankruptcy, from any income he receives in the future.
He was once the richest man in Ireland and the 12th richest in the UK before his business empire collapsed in 2010.
Mr Quinn was declared bankrupt in January 2012.
In December, it was revealed that Mr Quinn was returning to manufacturing after one of his former businesses was bought by a group of his supporters.
The new firm is to be renamed Quinn Industrial Holdings Ltd and will be led by former Quinn Group employees who once held senior roles under Mr Quinn.
Mr Quinn's level of remuneration has not yet been decided.
Mr Quinn was a self-made man who started a multi-billion pound business empire by selling gravel quarried from his family's farm in Derrylin.
The Quinn Group gradually expanded, manufacturing and supplying other building products, glass and plastics, and eventually moved into insurance, hotels and property development.
Mr Quinn also invested in Anglo Irish Bank, one of the leading lights of the Celtic Tiger economy, and built up a 25% stake in the bank.
The investment went disastrously wrong in 2008, and the bank, which was facing collapse, was bailed out by taxpayers.
Anglo Irish bank was nationalised in 2009 and its affairs were taken over by the Irish Banking Resolution Corporation (IBRC).
For the last few years, the Quinn family has been involved in a high-profile legal battle with IBRC.
It claimed the Quinn family owes the former bank more than two billion euros (£1.56bn) and tried to recover the money from their assets.
Lawyers for the IBRC alleged that members of the Quinn family tried to strip assets from their firms, putting property worth millions of pounds beyond the reach of the former bank, in defiance of a court order.
In 2012, the High Court in Dublin ruled that Sean Quinn, his son Sean Quinn Jr and his nephew, Peter Darragh Quinn, were in contempt of that court order.
Sean Quinn and his son were both jailed for contempt and served short sentences in Dublin's Mountjoy prison.
Peter Darragh Quinn did not attend court for the sentencing and a warrant for his arrest was issued.
He left the jurisdiction and returned to Northern Ireland, where the arrest warrant could not be enforced.
Pauline McLynn was the earnest, scatty priest's housekeeper Mrs Doyle in the sitcom.
Her catchphrase was "You will, you will, you will," as she pressed tea upon all newcomers.
It is 20 years since the Channel 4 comedy was first screened.
It told the story of three priests and their housekeeper on remote Craggy Island and captivated audiences in Ireland and across the UK with its unholy brand of fun.
Down with this sort of thing!
That would be an ecumenical matter.
You will, you will, you will!
That money was just resting in my account.
Nuns! Nuns! Reverse!
Ms McLynn said the series resonates with all ages.
"A friend of mine has two children who are five and seven and they are totally devoted to Father Ted. Every new generation we are getting new fans," said Ms McLynn.
"This time 20 years ago, we had made six episodes. Honestly, we didn't think anybody would watch it, or notice it was on, although we found it funny. But that doesn't necessarily mean everybody else would."
Ms McLynn told BBC NI's Good Morning Ulster on Tuesday that there was an innocence to the show.
"It is about these four people who are stuck with one another and every week we start at the same place, which is hell.
"It is so simple and so stupid that everybody can enjoy it. By stupid, I mean desperately funny. These things couldn't happen in real life, but they do in the land of Ted."
She confessed that it had taken her years to be able to offer anyone tea after her role in Father Ted.
When she landed her current role in the BBC's Eastenders, she said she had to offer someone tea in her role as Charlie Cotton's mother, Yvonne, and she was reluctant to do it.
In 1998, Dermot Morgan who played loveable rogue Fr Ted died suddenly at his home in London. He was 45 years old.
"The best thing would be if he was here. He'd be dining out on Father Ted. But he will never grow old and he will always be gorgeous," Ms McLynn said.
Police were called to Ashton Road, Harold Hill, after banging was heard coming from the lorry on Wednesday morning.
The eight adults were arrested on suspicion of illegal entry into the UK while the three children were taken into police protection.
No-one was hurt during the Met police operation at about 11:30 BST.
That would in turn damage Labour's chances of forming a government and give the Conservatives all sorts of ammunition to stir trouble for their chief rivals during the campaign.
But even in Dundee, a city that voted overwhelmingly for independence, the situation on the ground feels more fluid than the polling suggests.
Certainly the SNP operation is full of energy. In Dundee West, where polls suggest its candidate Chris Law - a prominent Yes campaigner - will storm in, the campaign office is full of activists, driving off in a specially decked out bright yellow bus to knock on doors, three times a day.
There are canvass returns carefully stacked in every corner; SNP leaflets, stickers, badges, and memorabilia everywhere.
They are getting new members every day, they say, and while they insist they're not taking anything for granted, they're brimming with confidence.
Mr Law says: "A year ago people were debating in the pubs and in the cafes and in the hairdressers and in the shops, and that's going on again and that's great.
"Dundee is a Yes city. As we know, they would like to see as the inevitable long run for ourselves to be independent as a nation and I'm not going to shirk away from that. But for this election, it's definitely about ending austerity."
But the argument isn't over, even here.
Surveys have suggested as many as 15% of Scottish voters are still undecided, despite the country having spent much of the last year locked in conversations about politics.
Labour insiders are well aware it may be far too late but they have now moved resources and staff north, with 33 organisers working to defend their seats whereas, at the last general election, they only had eight.
In their seats, rather than the national picture the polls portray, they are 6% behind. That's a gap one senior figure says: "We can close".
That's probably wishful thinking. The newly selected Labour candidate in Dundee West, Michael Marra, says: "At times in the past, on certain issues, we have let people down. We haven't been as responsive to the communities we seek to serve, the communities we've been brought up in, as we should."
But he says the SNP are desperate to talk about the maths of who can form the government after the election. "That's what they do," he says. "They do politics. Actually I'm interested in people."
Something else is brewing, however. It is hard ever to be definitive about tactical voting and its effects. But a group of activists who worked together to oppose independence have reunited to try to stop, or at least hold back, the SNP surge.
The campaign, United Against Separation (UAS), claims to have around 600 activists signed up in Scotland, from Labour, Tory, Lib Dems and those who aren't in any parties. They have pledged to help the SNP's closest rival in every single seat in Scotland, no matter who it is.
The group says it is already delivering campaign materials and knocking on doors to try to switch votes. Andrew Skinner from the campaign told me in one Labour-held seat this week, Inverclyde, that activists from UAS persuaded dozens of voters in a Tory area of the seat to vote Labour, to help block the SNP.
Mr Skinner said: "People won't say publicly, but be it a Labour or a Tory area they are happy to vote the other way to keep the SNP out."
It's hard to verify their claims but Dundee-based Lib Dem activist Fraser McPherson says there is "absolutely no doubt" they are seeing tactical voting right across north-east Scotland.
One voter tells me: "I'm interested in a tactical vote... there are a lot of people like me who don't want to make a big noise about it."
Even once the polls are closed, the results are in, and we know how big the SNP success story is, we'll never be able fully to quantify the impact of voters making tactical choices. But Mr Skinner believes it's "on people's lips" and could take some of the shine off the SNP's likely victories.
The SNP is, though, the dominant force. There is no question they are on course to take significant numbers of seats in Scotland. But with four weeks to go we can't know just how big their influence will turn out to be.
I remember the confidence displayed by many Yes campaigners in the week before the independence referendum and their crashing disappointment afterwards. The polls of course are this time, completely different and it's a totally different vote.
However, in an election as unpredictable as this one, runaway assumptions could well turn out to be wrong.

Starting the final day on 193-5, 41-year-old Stevens reached his ton before lunch against his former county, but was caught at mid-off two balls later.
He and Adam Rouse (60) shared a sixth-wicket stand of 152 as Kent declared on 462-9 before tea - a lead of 42.
With both teams earning maximum batting points they shook hands, with the hosts on 61-2.
The Foxes are still waiting for their first County Championship victory of the season, but they will take heart from being the first side to stop Kent winning in this year's competition.
After successfully avoiding the follow-on in the morning, Kent finished their innings with a flurry, with Matt Coles thumping an unbeaten 56 off 38 balls and James Tredwell (55) also making a half-century as the pair added 89 for the tenth wicket.
But with so much time lost to rain on the first two days, a draw was the only realistic result and the sides agreed to end the match as a draw after Will Gidman took a smart catch to remove Leicestershire's Harry Dearden off Matt Hunn following Paul Horton's dismissal for 40.
Yet the umbrella-lined, sandy beaches dotted with tourists mask another role, one at the heart of the shipping industry.
This unassuming seaside city is where some of the world's largest and most exclusive vessels are made.
Its speciality is the superyacht. These giant crewed vessels start at about the length of an average swimming pool - 24-metres. But the biggest can stretch to five or more times this.
It's a world that belongs to only the very wealthiest of the wealthy - to buy a superyacht you have to be super rich.
Just 370 superyachts were sold last year around the globe, yet collectively these sales were worth a staggering 3.4bn euros (£3bn; £4bn).
The most expensive superyacht sold so far this year cost 155m euros, according to Boat International which collates the industry data.
Viareggio is where about a fifth of these gigantic elite boats are made. It's the "cradle of shipbuilding" is how the city's mayor Giorgio del Ghingaro sums it up.
In fact, the town's involvement in the industry goes back almost 200 years to 1819 when the first dock was built. Viareggio started to build large, strong wooden ships to transport the marble from the region's famous quarries. This laid the foundations for what would eventually become a major international shipping industry with a history of carpentry and craftsmanship.
The growing popularity of the superyacht has meant Viareggio has evolved again, shifting from making the wooden boats it was once famous for to constructing these giant metal and fibreglass vessels.
Vincenzo Poerio, the chief executive of shipbuilding firm Benetti, which is headquartered in Viareggio, believes the region's artistic roots have helped to drive its success in the industry.
Tuscan cities such as Lucca, Pisa, Siena and Florence are renowned for their craftmanship in marble, wood, leather and architecture. And people in the market for buying a superyacht expect everything - the interior as well as the exterior - to look perfect.
Of course you need more than artistic flair to build a superyacht. For such large and expensive projects, engineering skills are crucial as are project management expertise to ensure the boat is built on time and on budget.
But Mr Poerio says the most important attribute to be successful in this industry is people skills to enable them to deal with the often "challenging" demands of the super rich.
Maintaining good relations matter because it's a personal transaction, not a business one, he says:
"At the end of the day, you are building a big toy, probably the most expensive toy in the world."
In contrast to similar industries such as luxury cars or private aircraft, it's much harder to build these vessels in a standardised way.
"In our case most of the time we start from scratch. So the client is not buying a product, he's building a product which makes a huge difference… Most of the time it's not easy to manage these requests," says Mr Poerio.
This approach is now starting to shift, with some shipbuilders including Benetti and Perini Navi, building smaller superyachts without first receiving an order.
For their wealthy customers, used to getting things when they want them, an instantly-available boat is a big attraction.
But for the firms investing millions when they don't yet know if they'll be able to find a customer it is a risky strategy.
Yet Burak Akgul, a managing director at shipbuilder Perini Navi, says he's not worried.
"We are an indulgence. There's always someone who's ready to indulge, it's just a matter of whether or not we manage to get hold of them," he jokes.
In fact, he says, the brand Perini has become a sort of status symbol, marking a certain level of achievement.
"We started seeing people expressing themselves as having reached the point where they now need to have their Perini.
"They didn't know what they wanted yet, but they had this feeling that they had come to the point of their personal success that time had come for them to build a Perini this was something they had to add to their stable," he says.
One other advantage for Viareggio is that it is already well equipped to cope with the vagaries of the superyacht industry, which because it is so small and specialised can see demand fluctuate wildly depending on the wider economy.
The skills required to build a superyacht are similar to those for a military boat with both of similar sizes.
Massimo Perotti, owner of ship builder San Lorenzo, says this is a useful balance, with demand for pleasure yachts naturally reducing when military vessels are required and vice versa.
Nonetheless, the extreme wealth of their clientele means they're also more cushioned from the impact of world events. Even in the financial crisis, San Lorenzo managed to expand, selling about 20 yachts, partly by targeting new markets in Russia, South America, Brazil and India.
The crisis did, however, mark a shift in their customer base. Instead of getting people who wanted a superyacht to show how rich and powerful they were he says, most customers are now genuinely interested in boating.
Yet even with a flow of wealthy customers ready to indulge, the Italian industry is facing competition from other rivals within Europe and even China. Lower labour costs and raw materials mean these countries are able to produce a cheaper boat.
But Benetti's Mr Poerio says that for the "very, very, very rich people" they cater for, price isn't what matters.
When people are spending millions and millions of euros "the brand has to mean something," he says.
He believes things like the customer relationships and service they offer, as well as the guarantee of a certain level of quality, means they should be able to keep customers from going elsewhere.
San Lorenzo's Mr Perotti agrees: "If you buy a superyacht it's for yourself. You like technology, design, luxury; you know, it's not cheap and you are not looking to to have it at the lowest cost."
In the end, it comes back to what Viareggio has always been renowned for - artistic flair.
"The characteristic of the Italians is individualism and creativity. Maybe you buy a German car because the Germans are better in organisation. But if you want to buy a piece of art you probably go to Italy."

It will see migrants moved from Italy, Greece and Hungary to other EU countries.
Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary voted against accepting mandatory quotas.
After the vote, Slovakia's prime minister said he would not accept the new quotas.
Finland abstained from the vote. Poland, which had opposed the proposal, voted for it.

The BBC's Europe correspondent Chris Morris says it is highly unusual for an issue like this - which involves national sovereignty - to be decided by majority vote rather than unanimous decision.
The matter must now be ratified by EU leaders in Brussels on Wednesday.

EU migration: Crisis in graphics
Earlier in the day, the Czech government warned that the plan was unlikely to work, even if it gained approval.
The UN refugee agency said the scheme would be insufficient, given the large numbers arriving in Europe.
"A relocation programme alone, at this stage in the crisis, will not be enough to stabilise the situation," , UNHCR spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said.
The number of those needing relocation will probably have to be revised upwards significantly, she said.
The UN says close to 480,000 migrants have arrived in Europe by sea this year, and are now reaching European shores at a rate of nearly 6,000 a day.
Under the EU's constitution, a country that does not agree with a policy on migration imposed upon it could have the right to appeal to the European Council - if it feels "the fundamental principles of its social security or legal system are under threat".
None of the countries that voted against the plan has yet indicated whether it would appeal.
Criticism is already ringing out from countries that voted against the relocation scheme, but under EU law they are now obliged to take part. It is highly unusual - unprecedented, really - for a majority vote to be used in a situation like this, which involves basic issues of national sovereignty.
But the European Commission says it is determined to enforce what was agreed. What's not yet clear is what will happen if any country simply refuses to comply - and that has certainly been the suggestion from some capitals.
Will financial sanctions be sufficient? It is another sign that this crisis is testing European unity like no other.
Luxembourg's Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn, who chaired the meeting, said he had "no doubt" opposing countries would implement the measures.
But Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico said he would not implement the quotas as long as he was in office.
Czech Interior Minister Milan Chovanec tweeted: "Very soon we will realise the emperor has no clothes. Today was a defeat for common sense."
After the meeting, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said: "Today is an important building block, but no more than that."
A statement from the European Commission said foreign ministers would now discuss reforms to the Dublin regulation, which demands that migrants register as refugees in the first EU country in which they arrive.
The UK has opted against taking part in the relocation scheme and has its own plan to resettle migrants directly from Syrian refugee camps.
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.
Mr Violier, 44, ran the Restaurant de l'Hotel de Ville in Crissier, near the city of Lausanne.
It earned three Michelin stars and came top in France's La Liste ranking of the world's 1,000 best eateries.
Swiss police said Mr Violier, who was born in France, is believed to have killed himself.
The Swiss news website 24 Heures said (in French) that Mr Violier had been due to attend the launch of the new Michelin guide in Paris on Monday.
His death comes some six months after that of Philippe Rochat, his mentor and predecessor at the Restaurant de l'Hotel de Ville.
Having worked at the restaurant since 1996, Mr Violier took it over along with his wife Brigitte in 2012, before obtaining Swiss nationality.
A keen hunter, he was known for signature dishes including game and produced a weighty book on game meat last year.
Accepting the French award, given by France's foreign ministry as an alternative to the World's Best 50 Restaurants prize, he said it was an "exceptional" honour.
Swiss chef Fredy Girardet, who also received three Michelin stars, told 24 Heures that he was "dumbfounded" by the news.
"He was a brilliant man," he said. "Such talent, and an amazing capacity for work. He was so kind, with so many qualities. He gave the impression of being perfect."
French chef Pierre Gagnaire tweeted: "My thoughts go out to Benoit Violier's family. Very sad news about an extremely talented chef."
The Director of Public Prosecutions had said Lord Janner, 86, would not be prosecuted, despite sufficient evidence to bring a case, due to his dementia.
But the CPS said a senior prosecutor unconnected to the original case would now review that decision.
The ex-MP has denied any wrongdoing.
Defending her decision following calls for a review last month, DPP Alison Saunders told the BBC that Lord Janner's dementia was so severe that he could "play no part in a trial".
Ms Saunders said that she had written to the alleged victims to inform them they have the right to a review.
Lawyers representing a group of alleged victims confirmed shortly afterwards that they would seek a review.
One man, who claims he was abused by Lord Janner, had called for the release of the medical reports which prompted the decision not to prosecute the peer.
He told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme that seeing the reports would give him peace of mind.
The CPS Victims' Right to Review Scheme allows a complainant to request a charging decision be reconsidered.
A spokesman for the CPS said in a statement on Friday that reviews are usually conducted by the CPS appeals unit, but added that "due to the unique circumstances surrounding this case, the CPS has instructed external counsel instead".
Guidelines suggest that a review would normally take six weeks.
More than a dozen individuals have made allegations to police relating to Greville Janner.
The allegations relate to residents in children's homes in Leicestershire in the 1970s and 1980s.
The NSPCC welcomed news of the review, and a spokesman said: "This review needs to reassure those with allegations that every option was fully explored.
"We have questioned why a trial of facts was not suitable whatever the state of Lord Janner's health."
The assumption had been that the national unity government formed by Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah would finish in September.
Mr Kerry brokered the deal after disputed election results.
As he flew out of the country, several explosions rang out in the city's diplomatic area.
The toll of terror in Afghanistan and Pakistan
After the deal, there were expectations that a Loya Jirga, a special assembly of elders, would be convened within two years to amend the constitution and create the post of an executive prime minister.
During his visit, Mr Kerry held meetings with Mr Ghani and the country's Chief Executive Mr Abdullah.
Mr Ghani said they all hoped the Taliban would engage in peace talks and craft "a legitimate process that brings an end to violence."
At least two explosions as well gunshots were heard in Kabul's diplomatic area as Mr Kerry's plane was preparing to take off.
The Taliban have previously attacked prominent official and foreign targets in the Afghan capital.
Mr Kerry's visit came at a time when Nato forces are increasingly being deployed in battle zones to support Afghan forces fighting the Taliban.
Last year, the number of people killed and wounded in conflict in Afghanistan rose to the highest level yet recorded, the UN said.

Gatland has handed debuts to four players in an experimental Welsh side.
Wales host Ireland on Saturday, before playing them in Dublin on 29 August and hosting Italy on 5 September.
"Joe rang me last week to talk about what we were looking at in the squad," Gatland said.
"I said we were going to have a mixed squad with an opportunity for some younger players.
"He sort of indicated that they were probably going to do the same thing.

"I think they will experiment with the squad too."
Ireland lock Iain Henderson says head coach Schmidt has given his players no indication of who is likely to face Wales.
New Zealander Schmidt will name his side on Thursday to play at the Millennium Stadium and is then expected to cut three or four players from his provisional World Cup training group of 45 players.
Wales will cut their World Cup training squad from 47 players to between 36 and 38 after Saturday's game against Ireland.
Uncapped Ross Moriarty, Tyler Morgan, Eli Walker and Dominic Day will make their Wales debuts on Saturday.
Gatland said Schmidt had also asked if the Millennium Stadium roof would be shut for Saturday's game.
The Millennium Stadium will host Wales' Pool A matches against Uruguay on 20 September and Fiji on 1 October as well as Ireland 's Pool D matches against Canada and France.
"He [Schmidt] proceeded to ask what was happening with the roof," Gatland added.
"I said: 'Well, it's a bit ironic that you wanted it open during the Six Nations and now you want it closed'.
"He was hoping during the Six Nations that it was pouring down with rain, so we had a bit of a chat about that.
"I think he wants it closed because it's closed during the World Cup. It makes sense to close the roof if it will be closed for the World Cup.
"There was a cynical side of me that did feel like saying we were going to leave it open."
The government's solution is insulating buildings - saving money and even creating jobs to do the work.
But insulation is expensive to put in. The government hopes its "Green Deal" will encourage private investors to offer cheap loans for the work.
But will the carrot work or is a stick - and some state money - also needed?
State support for energy efficiency measures to help cut bills will not increase significantly.
Instead, everything depends on consumers wanting to borrow money, and lenders wanting to give it to us.
The government wants 14 million households to sign up by 2020 - involving up to £100bn and creating up to 65,000 jobs by 2015.
"We don't know if the financial mechanism will work, there may be an analogy to the sub-prime mortgage situation," warns Ian Preston, from the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
UK households consume more energy than most of our European neighbours because our homes have not been built to the same standards.
Changing that requires retro-fitting homes to stop draughts and heat loss.
Improving efficiency is also important in meeting the government's climate targets. Some changes, such as new lightbulbs, are cheap, but insulation can cost thousands.
So the government wants to entice private investors to offer up to £10,000 a household as a loan - paid back through savings on energy bills.
The loan would come with a promise that consumers would save money on their bills, including repayments.
And the debt would be tied to the home and its energy bill - not the owner or occupier.
In effect, the government says, we'd be able to insulate our homes for free.
"People can insulate their homes, save money, at no upfront cost," said Nick Clegg, Deputy Prime Minister, launching the Green Deal.
It is a logic backed by consultants McKinsey and Company, which has conducted research showing that some green measures, such as insulation, can save money and so balance the cost of others, such as solar.
If it works, the Green Deal offers the potential to create up to 250,000 jobs in firms installing energy efficiency measures.
The Carbon Trust's Dave Raval says that unlike other green policies almost all of the jobs created will be in the UK.
"Products are often relatively low tech and usually quite expensive to transport and so they are made relatively close to where they are used," he says.
One example is Loftzone, a firm which manufactures a simple system to allow loft storage above insulation - without squashing it.
Despite that, some measures, such as new boilers, may still end up costing money - and some fuel-poor homes may simply use any savings to heat their home adequately.
To pay for this, the government is levying a charge on our bills to top up the deal.
Though the government scheme will not start until late next year, some companies, including The Carbon Trust and British Gas, have already started rolling out similar schemes aimed at homes and businesses.
Consultants PricewaterhouseCoopers have worked on a way of financing the proposal by packaging up loans to consumers and selling them to investors - as happens with mortgages. The idea is to reduce the cost of the loan.
But what if the loans are not paid back?
The problem, says Sam Arie, a visiting fellow at Oxford University's Smith School of Enterprise & the Environment, is that only the less well-off are likely to take out a Green Deal loan. Richer households, who also use more energy, will pay themselves.
"That part of the housing stock is mostly owner-occupied, and they mostly have mortgages, and if they don't they have savings."
"We're creating a scheme in which the quality of the loans will not be scrutinised, in which we could lose money if they are not paid back," he says.
There is also a risk that the loan will make it harder to sell a home.
Consumer Focus asked homebuyers how they would react to a Green Deal loan sitting on a property they were looking to buy.
"Both buyers and tenants said that could put them off choosing that property," said Liz Lainely, policy manager at the charity.
And recent research from the Centre for Sustainable Energy found that, on average, we used only two-thirds of the energy the government assessment would have expected - meaning it would take even longer to pay back the cost of new energy saving measures.
To overcome such concerns, some argue the government needs to impose costs on those who do not make their homes energy efficient - or simply put up the cost of energy for heavy users.
"Nobody suggests that the solution to alcohol addiction is to subsidise the price of fruit juice, you have to have strong targeted messages to people who overconsume and discourage consumption," says Mr Arie.
The 25-year-old, widely regarded as one of the world's best full-backs, has a Portuguese father and was contacted aged 16 by Portugal's then manager.
She considered switching allegiance until her England debut in 2013.
"It was getting close to a point where I just wanted to play international football," said Bronze.
She had grown frustrated with a lack of chances under then England coach Hope Powell - and had been told previously she would be made "more than welcome" by Portugal.
"[Portugal coach] Monica Jorge had contacted my parents via Facebook after it was mentioned during an England youth game on TV that I was half-Portuguese," she said.
"She realised it was a long shot, and I wanted to play for England, but she said that if there was any chance of playing for Portugal, they would more than welcome me into the squad and develop me."
England face Portugal in Tilburg on Thursday (19:45 BST) needing only a draw to guarantee progression and a position as group winners.
Bronze helped England win the European Under-19 Championship in 2009, but could not force her way into the senior team under Powell.
She says an England debut "didn't look like it was on the horizon" when she was 21, and adds she told her mum she may have to consider switching to Portugal if she got to "22 or 23 and it doesn't look like it's happening".
"I'm just as Portuguese as I am English and it wouldn't have felt like a disservice to England," said the Manchester City defender.
Bronze was given her debut by Powell in a pre-Euro 2013 friendly against then world champions Japan.
But she did not play a single minute in that year's European Championship, as England went out in the group stage having won a solitary point.
She said: "I was only at Euro 2013 because Hope said, 'we've got three players injured so you're the next one in'. It didn't really feel like I was in the squad.
"Then the manager changed, caretaker boss Brent Hills played me and so did Mark Sampson."
Bronze has since become a key figure for the Lionesses, and made vital contributions as they finished third at the World Cup two years ago.
After scoring a brilliant winner against Norway in the second round, she then headed home in the quarter-final triumph over hosts Canada.

She has also impressed at Euro 2017, even playing a key role in overturning a penalty awarded to Spain by reciting the rules to the referee.
"It would have been a shame if she'd opted for Portugal," said Sampson. "Lucy is an outstanding footballer, and she has really grown in the last three and a half years in particular.
"She's a fighter, a winner, and she's definitely going to be around for a long time in an England jersey to not just help us win matches but trophies too."
Should Bronze play for the first time against Portugal, who are making their European Championship debut as the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, she will face former Liverpool team-mate Amanda da Costa, who had the option to play for Portugal or the United States.
"We used to joke that we would both play for Portugal together if we didn't get a chance with the US or England," Bronze said.
As it is, Bronze will have no split loyalty on Thursday - but will her father?
Asked if he would be supporting Portugal or England, Bronze replied: "England. He supports who he's told to."
The disease "traps" people in their own body, able to think, but incapable of moving or talking.
The study of 65 patients, published in the British Medical Journal's BMJ Open, found 72% reported being happy, with just 7% wanting help to commit suicide.
Experts said it showed it would be unwise to make assumptions about people's mental state.
The findings could also have implications on the assisted suicide debate, the researchers said.
However, they warned that there could be some bias in the study with the most unhappy patients refusing to take part.
The participants, from the French Association for Locked in Syndrome, responded by blinking or moving their eyes.
About half of those questioned, 55%, had recovered some speech and 70% had recovered some limb movement.
The majority, 72%, said they were happy and 68% said they never had suicidal thoughts.
The longer people were locked-in, the more likely they were to be happy.
Researchers at the University of Liège, Belgium, said: "We suggest that patients recently struck by the syndrome should be informed that, given proper care, they have a considerable chance of regaining a happy life.
"In our view, shortening of life requests are valid only when the patients have been give a chance to attain a steady state of subjective wellbeing."
Dr Adrian Owen, from the Centre for the Brain and Mind at the University of Western Ontario, said: "This is an extremely important study with a clear message - we cannot, and should not, presume to know what it must be like to be in one of these conditions.
"I think most of us feel that life in a lifeless body would not be a life worth living, but this study demonstrates that this is not always the case.
"On the basis of the results, it would be unwise for us to make assumptions about the mental state of those individuals."
Carwyn Jones said the left-winger had "energised a huge number of people who were previously disengaged from party politics".
He called on Labour to "come together, get organised and take on the Tories".
The first minister had previously said Mr Corbyn would be "an unusual choice" for leader.
Mr Corbyn was declared the winner of the contest to succeed Ed Miliband at a special Labour party event in London on Saturday with nearly 60% of first preference votes.
Tom Watson was elected to serve as his deputy.
Despite initially being seen as the rank outsider, Mr Corbyn saw a surge in support to beat his more mainstream rivals Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall.
Shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves and education spokesman Tristram Hunt have both said they will not serve on the new leader's front bench, while Ms Cooper said she did not expect to be asked.
However, Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith said he was "a Labour man first and foremost" and would be willing to serve in Mr Corbyn's shadow cabinet.
He described the leadership election as "an amazing moment", calling on Labour to unite and "capitalise" on the interest of more than 400,000 people who voted in the contest.
"We've got a phenomenon on our hands that we need to work with for the betterment of the people we seek to represent," he said.
First Minister Carwyn Jones congratulated Mr Corbyn on his "impressive" win.
He added: "His campaign has energised a huge number of people who were previously disengaged from party politics and we must embrace that.
"We should also thank the other leadership candidates for a campaign well-fought. The challenge for the party now is to come together, get organised and take on the Tories.
"I look forward to meeting with Jeremy soon to discuss our campaign plans for the vital election in Wales next year."
During his victory speech, Mr Corbyn praised Mr Jones for his leadership in Wales.
He congratulated Welsh Labour for ending the internal market in the health service, saying it was "something we want to do in the rest of Britain".
Other leading Welsh Labour figures called for unity behind their new leader.
Shadow Culture Secretary and Rhondda MP Chris Bryant told BBC News: "We're good at knocking lumps out of each other ... we need to knock lumps out of the Tories."
Cynon Valley MP Ann Clwyd tweeted: "Jeremy - brill! Human rights will be safe in your hands.
"Your tenacity and sincerity have inspired a new generation."
Newport West MP Paul Flynn said on Twitter: "All the forecasts of doom by media and Labour's extinct volcanoes blown over by vast scale of victory from party members old and new.
"As a member of the select exclusive band of Liz Kendall supporters, I rejoice that we are all Corbyn-ites now," he added.
Baroness Eluned Morgan, a former Euro-MP who hopes to run for the assembly in 2016, tweeted: "A new chapter in the history of the Labour Party begins. It's going to be a roller coaster ride. Hold onto your hats!"
Opposition parties appeared scornful of Labour's prospects under their new leader.
Reacting for the Conservatives, Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb said on Twitter: "Welsh Labour finally have a UK leader in its mould - [they] have banned Free Schools, Academies, Right to Buy.
"Wales already a test bed for Corbynism."
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood said Mr Corbyn's victory would do nothing to change "Labour's terrible record in government in Wales".
"Plaid Cymru congratulates Jeremy Corbyn on his election," she added.
"We hope that he will now deliver the votes of his MPs to join Plaid Cymru MPs in opposing those Tory policies that are causing great harm to people in Wales and beyond.
"However, his election cannot alter Labour's dismal record in government in Wales.
"Their legacy, especially since devolution, is one of failure and managed decline."
Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Kirsty Williams said: "The reality is that Labour under Corbyn will become exactly the opposite of what this country needs right now: anti-Europe, anti-business and economically illiterate."
So how will Jeremy Corbyn's victory go down in the only part of the UK where there's a devolved Labour government?
A number of senior figures in Wales have been telling me privately how concerned they are about the implications for the assembly election in 2016.
Above all it will be a judgment of the record of Carwyn Jones's government, but the fear among many is that a Corbyn win will make it easier for opponents to challenge in marginal seats like the Vale of Glamorgan, the Vale of Clwyd and Cardiff North, where the Tories performed well in the general election but which are held by Labour in the assembly.
And will Welsh Labour MPs unite behind the new leader? The jury is still out.
One told me there is a tendency to catastrophise about a party that is surprisingly resilient while another told me how hard he would find it to be loyal to a man who has rebelled so often in the past.
And what about the new party members who joined up because of Corbyn? They have been as visible in Wales as elsewhere.
Their big hope is that the new leader drags the centre ground of British politics to where they believe it should be - to the left.
The international trade secretary told the BBC he had no ideological objection to interim arrangements to minimise disruption after the UK's exit in 2019.
But he said he did not want them to "drag on" beyond the date of the next general election, scheduled for 2022.
The cabinet is said to be united behind a transition although reports it could last four years have been downplayed.
Chancellor Philip Hammond is reported to support a lengthy transitional period to bring certainty to business, which is concerned about the impact on trade and employment of a "cliff-edge" departure.
Newspaper reports on Friday suggested ministers had accepted it could last anywhere between two and four years.
Mr Fox, who is in Washington for discussions on future trade relations with the US, told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that it was "perfectly reasonable" for there to be a transition period to ensure the process was as "smooth as possible" for British business and foreign investors.
But he suggested that voters would want any "voluntary" arrangement to end by the time of the next general election, due to take place in May 2022.
And he said he would want the UK to be able to negotiate its own trade deals during that period so it could take "full advantage" of its new status.
"Having waited over 40 years to leave the EU, 24 months would be a rounding error.
"Whether that is 23 or 25 is not a huge deal and neither is it an ideological one.
"It is about the practical issues we would face, such as getting any new immigration system into place, getting any new customs system into place."
However, he made clear there would have to be clarity not only on the duration of any transitional phase but what limitations it would place on the UK.
Several Conservative MPs have suggested that any deal which required the UK to accept continued free movement for a limited period of time or the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in return for continued temporary membership of the single market would be unacceptable.
Mr Fox added: "I think we would want to get it out of the way before the election.
"I don't think people would want to have it dragging on. I think we would have to be very clear it was time-limited and limited in its scope."
"It is imperative that we leave the EU first and that any implementation period is done "voluntarily" alongside the EU to minimise any disruption."
The head of the powerful trade body representing German car manufacturers has told the BBC there will be a threat to jobs and investment in Britain if the UK leaves both the single market and the customs union.
Matthias Wissman, whose members include Volkswagen, BMW and Porsche, said his preferred option was for the UK to adopt a Norwegian-style membership of the European Economic Area but, failing that, a lengthy transitional period was a bare minimum.
"You need a transition period," he told Radio 4's The World This Weekend. "We hope that on the British side that gets deeper and deeper into the intellectual capabilities of those who decide."
Urging British politicians to put pragmatism ahead of ideology, he said a tariff-free trade deal with the EU was possible but only if "the UK understands what the preconditions are".
"Any kind of unwise, dramatic changes would have an effect on investment and jobs in the automotive industry. Hard Brexit would mean barriers, control of goods."
Speaking on the Andrew Marr Show, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said he accepted the UK would be leaving the single market, as it was in his words "inextricably linked" with EU membership, but suggested he had not reached a final view on whether it would be better to remain within the customs union.
He also suggested future trade deals should be linked to commitments on environmental protection and human rights.
"What is interesting is that the EU has said quite clearly, and rightly in my view, that they would only do new trade agreements with countries that sign up to the Paris climate change accord," he said.
"The US has said it wants to leave... so it calls into question the whole of the UK government's strategy on a one-off trade deal with the US."
Veterinary neurologist Tom Harcourt-Brown said implanting pacemakers, known as Vagus Nerve Stimulators (VNS), was "potentially life saving".
Bristol-based Langford Vets said the procedure was "rarely curative" but could reduce the need for medication.
VNS are pacemaker type devices, which are commonly implanted in children with medically unresponsive seizures.
Paediatric neurosurgeon at Bristol Children's Hospital Mike Carter said: "As we know, many human treatments start off as treatments that are either trialled or in some way propagated in the animal population.
"And it may well be that there are in fact benefits to humans from observing the way in which treatments work in animals as well. And that's very much what we're hoping for here."
Lyn Weber's dog Eva has just had a VNS implant. The Jack Russell has been on medication since her first seizure two years ago.
Ms Weber said: "Typically for Eva, she came home from the surgery after two days, a bright and happy dog, albeit tired.
"Apart from a cough, which we are managing, and which is a possible side effect, she is the same affectionate and playful dog we know and adore."
Bristol University's Langford Vet school said epilepsy was "a very common disorder in dogs and can be very difficult and very expensive to treat medically".
It said this was the first time the procedure had been used in the UK. The operation costs about £5,000 and is not normally available on pet insurance.

On the same Centre Court where he ended Great Britain's 77-year wait for a men's singles champion last year, Murray gave a listless display in the quarter-finals as he was thrashed 6-1 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 by rising star Grigor Dimitrov.
In four Grand Slams since his Wimbledon triumph, Murray, 27, has not reached a final and has only got past the quarter-finals on one occasion, although he spent a large chunk of the last 12 months recovering from back surgery.
Although critical of Murray's "flat" body language during the match, Connors backed the Briton to return to the top, even though the would number five will slip further down the world rankings as a result of his defeat at SW19.
"Murray has got years of great tennis left," Connors, who won his last Grand Slam in 1983 at the age of 31, told BBC Sport.
"Winning Grand Slams is different to other tournaments. It's two weeks, with days off, fighting mental battles, fighting physical battles, winning three out of five sets, everything. That's why they are so tough."
Fellow American John McEnroe felt Murray was just beaten by the "hungrier guy" but wondered if the Scot, who asked Amelie Mauresmo to be his coach following the French Open, might decide to give his former adviser, Ivan Lendl, a call.
"I think it would still be possible and possibly profitable for both of them," said McEnroe, who won seven Grand Slams in his career. "Having said that, I would give Amelie more of a chance."
John Lloyd said he was "baffled" by Murray's performance, while Tim Henman, another former British number one, said Dimitrov was a "star who will be around for a very long time".
Read more from Connors, McEnroe, Lloyd and Henman below, plus reaction from the BBC's other top tennis pundits.
"Andy looked a bit flat out there. Once the shoulders shrug and the head falls, that just gives your opponent that little extra lift.

"Sometimes it is how you lose that counts. If you go out there and get hammered but fought to the very end and came out bloody, then you walk off with your head held high.
"It's easy to say from here but when things are not working you should try to do something else. You have to mix some things up. When you are down two sets to love, you've still got to try to figure out a way to win.
"I noticed Murray looking up to his box a lot. Your coach can't help you. You are down there by yourself.
"That's why tennis is so great. It's you against someone who is trying to beat your brains out. That's the fun part of it, to figure out a way to keep that from happening. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"I found it interesting that Dimitrov said Murray was looking tired or flat in the warm-up. It's a classic case of a hungrier guy that wanted it more against a guy who just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, didn't seem to have the energy,

"Dimitrov was totally comfortable from the baseline, which I found amazing. One shot that made all the difference in the world to me - which is unusual in men's tennis now - was the one-handed sliced backhand. It really bothered Murray.
"I've never seen Andy Murray miss more easy balls. Again, how much did it have to do with him having a terrible day and how much did it have to do with Dimitrov?
"I think Mauresmo's done an excellent job coaching other people. There's no reason to suggest she can't do a good job coaching Murray. It would be unfair to her to fire her, because there's nothing you can do right before Wimbledon, when you're trying to defend your title.
"Could I suggest the possible call to Lendl? I wouldn't put it past the two of them. I think it would still be possible and possibly profitable for both of them. Having said that, I would give Amelie more of a chance."
"In his first four matches, Andy's serve was first class, but today he struggled. His first-serve percentage wasn't bad - 61% - but he only won three out of 10 points on his second serve.
"There are two sides to this... Dimitrov came out and controlled it from the word go, winning the first set in 25 minutes. The second-set tie-break was crucial and, at 4-4, he played three great points in a row.
"On the other hand, Andy didn't play at his best. There's not too much to analyse. He didn't play well and his opponent took full advantage."
"There is a whole load of weight on you as defending champion and I thought Andy did really well in the opening games.
"When I was here defending my title, I just felt so much pressure and I felt like a huge disappointment to me and everyone else when I lost. I was just glad to get that year out of the way.
"Andy did try today, but it just didn't work for him."
"We are baffled by the performance of Andy Murray. You can have bad days but it's strange that his intensity was not higher. At least make your opponent work and put him under pressure but that didn't happen.
"Andy Murray was poor, his body language was poor and he gave up this game too easy. For a player of his standard, who has won two Grand Slams, I am very, very surprised by the way he has gone out."
"Murray has always had that ability that all great champions have to figure it out and get in their opponent's head. But today, every time I thought it was his moment, he delivered the unforced error.
"Dimitrov's movement at the back of the court was exceptional. Andy said at the French Open that he thought defence was the most important part of the sport and I think he was a bit put off by how well Dimitrov was able to deal with the shots he threw at him."
Nine-time champion Martina Navratilova: "Wow, what an amazing match Dimitrov played today. Outstanding."
Boxer Amir Khan: "Commiserations to Andy Murray. Unlucky."
Former British number one Anne Keothavong: "Wowzers. What is going on at Wimbledon this week?!"
Dean Hartley struck Karl Swift with such a blow he suffered a broken jaw and was knocked unconscious in New Road, Halesowen on 8 September.
Mr Swift died in hospital two days later and Hartley, 30, initially denied manslaughter.
But he was found guilty at Wolverhampton Crown Court and given an eight years and three-months jail term.
The pair, both from South Yorkshire, had been drinking at a pub in the town with other co-workers when the row broke out.
Hartley, of the Langsett Estate, Sheffield, "squared up" to Mr Swift, who then left the pub. The rest of the group was asked to leave just after 22:00 BST.
As they walked back to their accommodation Hartley attacked Mr Swift, leaving him with a fractured skull.
At first Hartley claimed Mr Swift, 33, had fallen.
However he was found guilty of manslaughter and perverting the cause of justice following a two-week trial.
The group had travelled to the West Midlands for work.
Det Insp Paul Joyce, of West Midlands Police, said: "Mr Swift was left with a broken jaw and unconscious before he even hit the floor which shows the severity of the blow he suffered.
"It became clear from our investigations [Mr Swift was] assaulted in an unprovoked attack and we set about getting justice.
"Hartley initially lied over what happened and then tried to cover his actions by claiming he acted in self-defence.
"I am pleased the jury saw through these lies and he now faces time behind bars."
Libya's UN-backed government will receive €200m ($215m, £171m), including funding to reinforce its coastguard.
Most of the thousands who make the dangerous crossing over the Mediterranean to Italy are from African countries.
The EU hopes Libya will be better able to disrupt people-smuggling networks and turn back migrant boats.
But human rights groups have voiced concern at the EU's strategy, and the UN-backed government in Libya has limited control over its own territory.
Hundreds of thousands of migrants try to reach Europe each year. Many of them drown while crossing the Mediterranean.
On Thursday, Italy's coastguard said more than 1,750 migrants had been rescued in the Mediterranean within 24 hours.
In their declaration on migration, the 28 EU leaders said: "A key element of a sustainable migration policy is to ensure effective control of our external border and stem illegal flows into the EU."
The plan includes:
The declaration says the EU remains committed to an earlier deal with Turkey which came into force last March and resulted in a sharp reduction of migrants travelling to northern Europe from Syria via the Balkans.
However, analysts say a similar result is unlikely in the immediate term in the central Mediterranean because of the continuing instability in Libya.
They warn that reliable partners in Libya are hard to find and that shutting existing routes might simply lead to the opening of new ones.
Some groups accuse the EU of making Libya seem safe and abandoning humanitarian values. They cite bad conditions in reception camps and continuing dangers faced by migrants.
"Libya is not a safe place and blocking people in the country or returning them to Libya makes a mockery of the EU's so-called fundamental values of human dignity and rule of law," the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said.
Amnesty International tweeted that the agreement would cause "horrendous suffering".
Most of those arriving in Italy from Libya come from a range of African countries, some fleeing persecution, many seeking a better life.
Migrants have fled Nigeria, for example, because of the instability in the north caused by the Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram. In Eritrea, many flee to escape military service which can last for decades and was compared in a UN report to slavery.
More than 180,000 migrants arrived in Italy last year, and more than 4,500 drowned trying to get there.
No relief in migrant crisis for Italy
Since the fall of former leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, Libya has lacked any effective central government and security has been in the hands of various local factions.
A UN-brokered government, headed by PM Fayez al-Seraj, has only limited control over the country and people smugglers have found it easy to operate.
Libya, thanks to its proximity to Europe and instability, has become a centre for people trafficking from Africa.
Migrants who arrive from Libya tell of violence and trauma.
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.
Martin Jones, coxswain since 2010, has been on more than 700 call-outs from north Wales' busiest lifeboat station.
An RNLI flood rescue team volunteer, he helped save 74 people in Cumbria during the storms of December 2015.
Mr Jones said he was "extremely proud and thankful".
He added: "To be honest, this award isn't just for me - it's recognition of the lifeboat station, the local community, and most importantly it's for my family, who have allowed me to drop everything and leave important events when the pagers go."
Flintshire secondary school headteacher Rosemary Jones was appointed an OBE for her contribution to education.
The head of Buckley's Ysgol Elfed High, who has taught in the area for more than 30 years, led the school to an "excellent" Estyn rating in 2015.
Mrs Jones said she was "surprised and delighted".
"I feel privileged to work with young people, their families and educational professionals across Wales, and look forward to contributing to the further development of education in the country," she said.
Joan Aird, secretary of the Hawarden, Ewloe and Mancot branch of the Royal British Legion, was also recognised with a BEM for voluntary service to the community in Deeside, Flintshire.
Officials had requested the feature to tackle fake accounts, which they say had been used to spread hate material.
They noted WhatsApp - which is owned by Facebook - already had the requirement.
The social network met with the local authorities last week - a month after a man was sentenced to death in Pakistan for allegedly posting blasphemous material on Facebook.
The public prosecutor involved said he believed it was the first time the death penalty had been awarded in a case related to social media.
Earlier in the year, the Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar threatened to permanently block any social media platform that refused to co-operate with his anti-blasphemy crackdown.
The minister recently met with Facebook's public policy chief Joel Kaplan to discuss the matter.
The country briefly blocked Twitter in 2012 after some users reportedly encouraged others to draw images of the Prophet Muhammad, which is forbidden under Islam.
For now, Facebook will continue to authenticate new accounts via an email address rather than a mobile number.
However, a government spokesman said the firm had promised to "look into the government's concerns on a priority basis", after the most recent discussions.
For its part, the US company put a different spin on proceedings.
"Facebook met with Pakistan officials to express the company's deep commitment to protecting the rights of the people who use its service, and to enabling people to express themselves freely and safely," said a spokeswoman.
"It was an important and constructive meeting in which we raised our concerns over the recent court cases and made it clear we apply a strict legal process to any government request for data or content restrictions."
Lynne Freeman, 46, was found seriously injured outside a house in Maple Crescent, Redcar, on Wednesday evening.
Minutes later, police received reports that Jodie Betteridge, 30, was being attacked in nearby Byland Close.
Cleveland Police said magistrates had granted an extension to question a 34-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of two counts of murder.
A force spokeswoman said the families of the women were being supported by specially-trained officers.
Both scenes, which are less than a mile apart, remain cordoned off.
The police spokeswoman added: "Following the arrest of a 34-year-old man in relation to the murder of two women in the Redcar area, police attended Teesside Magistrates' Court where they were authorised an extension of his detention.
"This allows the investigation team to detain the man for a further period of time while they continue their inquiries.
"A post mortem examination has taken place regarding one victim and the post mortem examination for the other victim is due to take place later."
Neighbours described the deaths as "very shocking".
A floral tribute for Ms Betteridge, left near the scene at Byland Close, had a note which said "thoughts are with your beautiful children".
The gardaí were called to an apartment complex on Upper High Street in Killarney shortly before 18:00 local time on Sunday.
It is understood the baby was found in the apartment by his mother, who had returned after being at work.
Paramedics tried to save the baby but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

History here is not a dry subject confined to academia but a topic that exercises the passions of South Koreans.
Currently, a range of books by different academics are on offer in the country's schools, but the centre-right government thinks they are biased to the left and wants to replace them with a version it approves.
"The current textbooks have some mistakes so we want to revise them and correct the mistakes," the official in charge of the project, Park Sung-Min, told the BBC. "The authors don't want to change their point of view, so the government will make an accurate textbook".
One minister said that school books should teach "the proud history of South Korea, which has achieved both democratisation and industrialisation in the shortest time in world history".
Another conservative minister alleged the current versions of history were too uncritical of North Korea: "One textbook, for example, used the term 'dictatorial' only twice when writing about North Korea, but as many as 28 times about South Korea."
The government's plan has caused outrage both inside the country and around the world.
Prof Chung-in Moon of Yonsei University in Seoul told the BBC: "Why should we have one version of a text-book? We need multiple views so students can choose. History can be subject to multiple interpretations."
There are wider questions about what the study of history is for, according to Owen Miller, a Korean studies scholar at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London University.
"Is history simply a tool for establishing loyalty to the nation or is it about producing critical citizens who can draw lessons?" he said.
The government's plan is so contentious because the current president, Park Geun-hye, is the daughter of a previous president, Park Chung-hee.
The elder President Park, who was assassinated in 1979, is a controversial figure.
As a military officer, he led a coup which took power in 1961. Extreme brutality was used by the security agencies under his presidency.
But he is also widely credited with driving through South Korea's super-fast industrialisation. He ordered the country's rich to invest their money in industries which he dictated they should build from scratch.
President Park is, accordingly, celebrated as the founder of South Korean prosperity. At his birthplace, for example, there is a shrine with a huge statue (reminiscent, incidentally, of the style of statue used to idolise leaders in North Korea).
But the plaques alongside it make no mention of President Park's dark side.
His record in the war when he served the Japanese is absent - and collaboration with the Japanese colonialists remains a hot issue in Korea. No pictures of him in a military uniform are apparent.
Critics of the government today fear that the new history textbook will have a similar, sanitised view of the past. And they assert that the plan is dear to the current president who wants to whitewash her father's legacy, scrubbing away the dark spots.
There are other areas of contention where the left and right are divided over how to read history.
The causes of the Korean War, for example, are disputed. For the right, it was started unambiguously by North Korea in an unprovoked aggression.
For some on the left, it was more complicated, with an incipient civil war over issues like land ownership already underway before the North invaded in 1950.
On this leftist view, there is some sympathy for North Korea, which is seen in parts of the left as a victim of the same civil war rather than as the outright aggressor.
South Korea is not alone in having a battle over history in the classroom.
Japan is having a very similar row, with conservatives wanting the wartime brutalities of Japanese soldiers downplayed and the status of disputed territories asserted in the classroom as being of undisputed Japanese sovereignty.
History in this part of the world is alive and contentious.
As it is in Texas where the state's board of education approves books for use in classrooms. There are hearings which are often emotive, with right and left disagreeing profoundly on the interpretation of events like slavery.
This year, a 15-year-old student noticed that slaves were referred to in one textbook as workers. He took a picture of the page, put it on the internet and the image went viral.
There is now a debate in the state about whether professional historians should get more say in the selection of approved textbooks.
In his novel 1984, George Orwell cited a fictitious totalitarian government slogan: "Who controls the past controls the future."
South Korea, Japan and Texas where the current rows over textbooks are taking place are not totalitarian states. In truly despotic places governments control history teaching completely.
But in all three places, opponents of government fear an erosion of democracy.
History matters. It's about politics and it provokes all the passions of politics. They know that in Seoul, Tokyo and Austin. | School books aren't often the subject of street protest, but in South Korea a row over a government plan to write a single history textbook brought protesters to the streets of Seoul last month, with police using water cannons to disperse them. | 34,960,878 | 1,103 | 58 | false |
Her comments came in the midst of a controversy surrounding MLAs' expenses.
Following a 2014 BBC Spotlight programme, police examined allegations Sinn Féin had claimed almost £700,000 for research by a company run by the party's finance managers.
The Assembly Commission said that the party had done nothing wrong.
The commission is the body that runs Stormont and is responsible for the building, its staff and the services required for the assembly to carry out its functions.
It is chaired by Assembly Speaker Mitchel McLaughlin, from Sinn Féin, and consists of another five MLAs from each of the largest parties in Stormont.
Speaking in the Assembly on Tuesday, Mrs Foster said: "There is a necessity now to review what has occurred and to move forward from there, because we need to protect individual members as well as the integrity of the assembly."
Mrs Foster said the last time the expenses issue had been prominent, her Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) had suggested moving to a model like Westminster's Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority.
"At that time we didn't receive support in relation to that suggestion and perhaps the other parties might like to look at it again now," she added.
Earlier on Tuesday, details emerged of how the Westminster expenses watchdog had voiced concern about the way some Stormont MLAs have been overturning refusals of their claims.
The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said he was always open to "listening to advice and the example from other places".
He said that in his view it "clearly" wasn't the case that MLAs were "feathering their own nest".
However Mr McGuinness said: "To allay the concerns the public may have, let's look at how we can do things better."
The Assembly Speaker has called a meeting of the Assembly Commission on Wednesday to address concerns about the MLAs' expenses regime.
Nine tries, including a double for Greg Minikin, blew the champions away with just one first-half score in reply.
It ended a run of back-to-back defeats for the Tigers, while halting Wigan's three-game winning run.
Injuries to George Williams, Ben Flower and Anthony Gelling were a further blow to the Warriors, who remain fourth.
Williams' injury puts his international commitments in doubt, as the England players are set to fly to Australia on Sunday for their Test against Samoa on 6 May.
Having lost two games in a row for the first time this season, Castleford's grip on top spot had been loosened enough for Hull to climb to the top.
However, a try from the first set by Adam Milner set the tone for the game and three more for Michael Shenton, Matt Cook and Mike McMeeken followed, with Sam Powell's score the only response.
Cas picked up where they left off in the second half, keeping Wigan scoreless and running in five scores from Greg Minikin (two), Luke Gale, Grant Millington and Jake Webster.
Castleford: Chase, Cook, Eden, Gale, Hardaker, Holmes, Massey, McMeeken, McShane, Millington, Milner, Minikin, Monaghan, Moors, Roberts, Sene-Lefao, Shenton, Springer, Webster.

Over the last few days, everyone I have met - relative, friend or total stranger - has been offering me the traditional "Happy New Year" greeting.
Of course, we all know that there is nothing happy about our present circumstances and that there is nothing to be happy about in what we are seeing on the horizon.
The dollar-crazy Nigeria, which most of us abused unconscionably for several years, is dead and the new nation in its place has little more to offer than hard, hard work.
There is no sweet talk either from the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to ease the pain.
Sola Odunfa:
"As the economy remains in the doldrums, many Nigerians are asking how the disgrace of former officials will put food on their families' tables "
At every opportunity it reminds us to our face, quite rightly I'd say, that the treasury was looted and the government is broke - and is dealing with an $11bn (£7.4bn) budget deficit.
Police and prison cells are now being filled with former flamboyant politicians and others who are alleged to have stolen public funds on a scale unheard of even in Nigeria's corrupt history.
Despite voting in their millions last year for such justice to be meted out, hardly anyone is cheering the government today.
As the economy remains in the doldrums, many Nigerians are asking how the disgrace of former officials will put food on their families' tables.
Nigeria at glance:
Source: UN
Likewise, the seasonal greeting should ring hollow in Benin, Nigeria's western neighbour - when Nigeria sneezes, it triggers not only coughs but 'flu in Benin.
Most of the illegal goods found in Nigeria's markets are alleged to be smuggled through the port in Cotonou.
So huge was the business that in the past two years the tiny nation of about 10 million people imported more rice and frozen chicken than China and the UK.
Of course, practically all of it was smuggled into Nigeria. Now that Nigeria's government is taking action to seal that criminal route, our Beninois cousins must share our agony.
There is also no end to the petrol woes facing this oil-producing nation.
At Christmas I filled my car's tank and bought a little extra to meet the emergency situation that is looming.
The government announced a token reduction in the pump price of petrol, even though the product is in short supply, possibly to ease the financial burden on motorists and other transporters.
And now trade union leaders alerted their state organisers to start mobilising workers for a possible nationwide strike.
Their grouse is that the government says it will no longer subsidise the pump price of petrol - which it says costs about $5bn (£3.5bn) a year.
But it is of no concern to the unions that the government is broke, following years of looting by public office holders.
Well, fuel crises and strikes are no strangers to Nigerians.
Fuel queues have petered out in Lagos and Abuja, where motorists are buying at the nominally-reduced official prices.
But New Year has not brought any succour to motorists outside the two cities as fuel, where it's available, continues to sell for up to 50% above the official price.
Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, arrived in Abuja on Monday to discuss Nigeria's economic plight with President Buhari, leaders of the National Assembly and business people.
Her speeches were couched in such language as would not cause indigestion to her hosts but they were outspoken enough.
She did not tell the government to remove fuel subsidies, she only said that the subsidies were "hard to defend" and they "rarely help the poor".
She did not say the economy was in the doldrums but that there was a "massive infrastructure deficit and high levels of poverty and inequality".
She had a word too for the country's neighbours: "Nigeria has a large regional footprint and its fortunes affect that of its neighbours." He who has ears let them hear what the spirit is saying!
After all this should I still say "Happy New Year"?
Oh yes, I will because I know that whatever the horizon portends, Nigerians are survivors. Raise the palm wine calabash and toast: Happy New Year!
More from Sola Odunfa:
The Crues are four points ahead of Linfield at the top of the table but could extend that to seven if they beat Ballinamallard United on Monday night.
"The pressure from Stephen has been relentless," explained Clarke.
"He has high expectations, never lets you rest on your laurels and always keeps you on your toes."
"That has filtered through the dressing room and we want to win every game.
"We haven't lost too many over the last few years and that shows our resilience and is testament to the squad we have built here," added the former Glentoran player, whose side have lost just two top-flight fixtures during this campaign.
For his part, the Crues boss is sticking to the adage of taking 'one game at at time' as the north Belfast club chase a hat-trick of Premiership crowns.
"The points tally will look after itself. We just have to chalk the games off, concentrate on the next game in front of us and we'll see where it takes us. We won't be getting too carried away.
"Winning football matches is a pressure business in any league in the world but when you're at the top of the table it's a nice pressure to have.
"It's true that the pressure cranks up a little bit at this time of the year but we'll just continue to work hard at what we do."
The champions are set to be without club skipper and central defender Colin Coates for four to six months as he undergoes surgery on an ankle injury.
Ballinamallard lie 10th in the table, eight points ahead of Carrick Rangers, who occupy the relegation/promotion play-off spot.
"We have a lot of injuries but we'll prepare right, compete and do our best," said Mallards manager Gavin Dykes ahead of the Seaview clash.
"We are delighted to be going to play at a club like Crusaders and it gives our players a chance to showcase themselves."
Only the head, hands and boots remain of the 21ft (7m) Blackler's Santa, which debuted in the 1960s.
After the store closed in 1988, the Father Christmas fell into disrepair.
It will be restored in time for Christmas 2016 after National Museums Liverpool chair Phil Redmond and wife Alexis donated £10,000 for the work.
The Santa was one of two created by artist Peter Blazey for the store while he was working there. The other was a two-dimensional work, which was also used to advertise the shop's grotto.
When it closed, he bought the pair and later donated them to the Museum of Liverpool.
Mr Redmond, who rose to fame as the creator of Grange Hill, Brookside and Hollyoaks, said he remembered the Santa "well" from his childhood and hoped it would similarly "captivate future generations" when it went on show at the museum.
"On hearing of Santa's fate, Alexis and I couldn't resist bringing back such a memorable seasonal icon," he added.
A National Museums Liverpool spokesman said the donation would pay for a new torso, "ensuring Santa remains a seasonal Scouse highlight".
The probe comes after European manufacturers alleged that Chinese firms were selling panels below their market value.
There have been allegations that China is helping its firms to export cheaper panels by providing subsidies.
If found guilty, Chinese firms may face anti-dumping tariffs on panel exports.
"The investigation will determine whether the product under investigation originating in the country concerned is being dumped and whether the dumped imports have caused injury to the Union industry," the European Commission said in a statement.
"If the conclusions are affirmative, the investigation will examine whether the imposition of measures would not be against the Union interest."
In May, the US imposed similar tariffs of about 31% on solar panel imports from China.
The European Union is one of the biggest markets for China's solar panel exports.
China exported nearly 21bn euros ($26bn; £17bn) worth of solar panels and components to the region last year.
That amount is expected to grow even further, amid a push by the EU for increased use of renewable energy.
However, there have been fears that increased imports from China have hurt European panel manufacturers.
For their part, Chinese firms have urged Beijing to respond to a threat of European anti-dumping restrictions, raising fears that the dispute may escalate into a trade dispute.
Last week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Chinese and European authorities to resolve the matter amicably by holding talks.
But she called for more transparency from Beijing about incentives given to the sector.
"My plea is that everyone be transparent, that they lay their cards on the table about how they produce," she remarked during her visit to China.
Like-for-like sales increased by 1% in December compared with the previous year, said the British Retail Consortium (BRC)-KPMG research.
Food sales were the major contributor to the growth, with non-food sales sluggish, the BRC said.
Morrisons releases its Christmas trading update on Tuesday, with Tesco and Sainsbury's later this week.
"Despite the slow start to the Christmas trading period, the week itself was a bumper one and exceeded expectations," said Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the BRC.
"It delivered the majority of sales growth for the month, proving even bigger than the Black Friday period- which is the reverse of what we saw the year before."
Shoppers held out until the last moment for their festive needs, with sales for Christmas week up 40% compared with other weeks of the month, she added.
Sales grew by 1.2% overall in 2016, but Ms Dickinson warned that 2017 would be a challenge with inflation set to pick up, "and persisting economic and political uncertainty".
Paul Martin, UK head of retail at KPMG, who help to produce the report, suggested that consumers had "splashed out on treating themselves" ahead of predicted price rises next year.
A raft of retailers are due to report their Christmas trading statements this week.
Later on Tuesday, Morrisons is expected to report sales growth of 1.1% for the nine weeks to 1 January, according to an average of analysts' forecasts, a fifth consecutive quarter of growth.
Sainsbury's publishes its update on Wednesday, while Marks and Spencer and Tesco report on Thursday.
The feature is designed to be the "modern day baby book", storing all your children's pictures in one place.
The child may then inherit the album when they're old enough to use the social networking site.
This means the next generation could have an online identity on the site if they join up.
Dan Barak, Facebook product manager who designed the feature, said: "I started seeing friends who were parents adding photos of their kids and tagging their partners... we asked and interviewed a bunch of parents and found 65% of partners who share photos of their kids on Facebook [in the US] do this."
He said he realised that people needed a "better way to organise them" so he set up Scrapbook.
"Photos of my son are the most important pictures my wife and I will ever take. It's important to us that we're in control of these photos," Dan said.
Only parents with access to Scrapbook can tag and add photos.
In response to questions regarding safety concerns, a Facebook representative says that it takes safety seriously.
The usual privacy and security controls will apply and the parent can decide what audience to share the Scrapbook photos with.
The feature is still a pilot. Facebook won't automatically transfer Scrapbook into a 13-year-old's new account and Facebook says it will respond to user feedback.
Scrapbook is only available in the US at the moment, on iOS, Android and desktop.

An Arrow-3 missile hit a target above the Earth's atmosphere that simulated the trajectory of long-range missiles like the Iranian Shahab-3.
Further tests are expected before the system, which is being developed together with the US, can be deployed.
It is the latest layer in Israel's system of shields, designed to protect it from external threats.
The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which fought a war with Israel in 2006, is reported to have more than 100,000 missiles and rockets which can reach anywhere in Israel.
Iran, which calls for Israel's eradication, also has missiles which can reach Israel and beyond.
The Israeli defence ministry hailed Thursday's test as a "major milestone".
A similar test a year ago failed because the system was not able to lock on to the target.
Israel's missile shield also includes the already-deployed "Iron Dome" system that targets short-range rockets fired by Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, and the mid-range "David's Sling" that is close to being operational and will target missiles supplied to Hezbollah by Iran.

That is the luxury "Dave the cockle man" has been serving to Nottingham pub-goers for the past 50 years, with barely a day off.
Despite being 60 miles from the sea, Dave Bartram - thought to be the only trader of his kind left in the UK - tours the pubs of the city on foot, clad in his trademark whites.
Serving up prawns, cockles, mussels - and even the occasional Pepperami stick - from his basket, he is instantly recognisable to Nottingham folk.
Mr Bartram, 67, is a "legend", they will tell you. He is a little more modest.
"If I wasn't doing it I'd pull my hair out because I'm that used to it," he said.
Now, his five decades in the seafood trade have led father and son filmmakers Mark and Matt Daunt to create a short film about how the cockle man came to be.
The film, which is being premiered at Screen 22 in Hockley on Thursday evening, will form part of a series planned on other Nottingham "legends", the Daunts say.
They spent months following Mr Bartram on his nightly trawls of pubs and bars to create the 15-minute film.
Matt, 22, said: "Everyone who's been drinking in pubs in Nottingham for the last 50 years knows who he is. He's a legend. People shout at him in the street.
"But, in a nice way."
The cockle man is held in such high esteem in Nottingham that he even has his has own parody Twitter account - usually the reserve of national celebrities - and more than 1,600 people have joined a Facebook campaign calling for him to be given the Freedom of the City.
Despite the clamour Graham Chapman, deputy leader of Nottingham City Council, said Mr Bartram's "enormous contribution" to Nottingham life may not be significant enough to merit such an honour, but he is open to suggestions.
Mr Bartram sells his wares seven days a week - and has done since he started aged 17 in 1964, when he worked for a local fishmonger.
When his boss emigrated to Spain, he formed D&S Seafoods with wife Shirley.
When Mrs Bartram died 18 years ago, he thought about closing the lid on his basket for good. But, he was convinced to carry on by Nottingham's supportive landlords.
"There's an awful lot of support out there for me," he said.
Mark Daunt, 51, said: "There's a line in the film where someone says to Dave, 'You are an institution', and that's exactly what he is."
There were so many stories to tell that one used in the film's trailer did not make the final cut but was too good to edit out, the filmmakers said, especially because of how rare he has become.
"We did a bit of research and couldn't find any other cockle men. The ones we did find had long since died," said Mark.
Jonathan Adams, president of the National Federation of Fishmongers, also said he knows of no-one else who does what Dave does.
"It's certainly possible that he's the only cockle man left," he explained.
"It's true that 15 or 20 years ago there used to be a lot of people who went around selling cockles and mussels but you just don't see them any more."
Perhaps one reason the cockle man's ilk is in short supply these days is the various workplace hazards one can encounter working the streets of a city, often late at night.
Mr Bartram's trusty basket once saved him from a serious injury when a drunken reveller plunged a pair of scissors into it, puncturing his prawn sauce - and he even had a close shave with a lit firework.
He explained: "I had a firework in my basket. It was in the Hand and Heart pub. I just started to feel warm and suddenly - boof! I see one in my basket.
"I would have had to go home, I'd lost my stock. I said to the landlord, I'm not coming back no more. He said, 'No, you're coming back tomorrow'.
"He locked the doors, wouldn't let anybody out. He said 'we're going to have a collection' and bought me a new coat.
"The police don't worry about me. I'm not violent but if I get into bother, I've got my basket to push them over with."
The naked body of Ashley Olsen was found last week in her flat, shocking friends and the local community who described her as "kind" and "gentle".
More lab results are needed to determine the time of the 35-year-old's death, prosecutors said.
When she was found, she had bruises and scratches on her neck.
Her Italian boyfriend said he had not heard from her and he later found her in her apartment.
Olsen was from Summer Haven, Florida, and had been living in Florence for three years.
"While we mourn her passing we place our trust fully in the Italian authorities to investigate this tragic episode,'' Olsen's friends wrote in English-language newspaper The Florentine, calling her death "horrific" and "unimaginable".
"We wait to hear what they discover, and pray that justice will be swiftly served to whoever his responsible."
Italian police hope DNA traces collected in the apartment will help find the killer.
One line of enquiry could be that she met up with a man the night of her death.
Witnesses and CCTV footage show her meeting up with a man after leaving the nightclub where she was last seen, Agence France-Presse reports.
Prosecutors have not said whether drugs were found in the apartment.

The work by artist Pip McGarry disappeared from his gallery at Marwell Zoo, near Winchester, Hampshire, overnight on Thursday.
They include a pencil sketch and 10 framed oils on canvas of animals such as Sumatran tigers, snow leopards and elephants.
Mr McGarry, the zoo's artist-in-residence for more than 17 years, said he was "devastated" by their loss.
"Painting is also my livelihood and it's a huge blow to lose these pieces, many of which were painted from photographs I've taken on safari in Tanzania and Botswana," he added.
Marwell Wildlife's chief executive James Cretney said the art sales contributed to the zoo's "extensive conservation work in the field".
Hampshire Constabulary said it was investigating and has appealed for information.
The claims that Mr Trump's presidential campaign secretly communicated with Moscow - and that Russia has embarrassing sexual information about him - are unverified.
But there have been allegations circulating in political and media circles for months. Here is what we know about how they came to light.
The Democratic leader in the US Senate, Harry Reid, provoked speculation when he accused FBI director James Comey of withholding "explosive information" on 30 October.
In a letter, Mr Reid said the information related to "close ties between [Republican candidate] Donald Trump, his top advisers, and the Russian government".
"The public has a right to know about this information. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public."
He hit out after the FBI revealed it was investigating emails linked to Hillary Clinton, and accused the bureau of violating an act that bars officials from influencing the election.
His letter came less than two weeks before the 8 November poll.
A day later the US news magazine Mother Jones published the first report alleging the existence of memos compiled since June by "a former senior intelligence officer for a Western country who specialized in Russian counterintelligence".
The BBC also first saw the documents in October, but has been unable to verify the information included.
However, the BBC learned in November that the CIA was treating the information as "credible". The author of the dossier is understood to be a former British intelligence agent.
The original intention of the research was to derail Mr Trump's candidacy, reports say.
Republican Senator John McCain became aware of the 35-page dossier and passed a full copy to the FBI director on 9 December, according to media reports.
By this time Mr Trump had won his surprise victory in the US election and was facing increasing pressure over claims Russian hackers had targeted Democratic Party emails.
Mr McCain confirmed on Wednesday that he had received sensitive information and turned it over to the FBI.
In a statement, he said he examined the contents of the material, was unable to make a judgment about the accuracy and delivered it to James Comey.
"That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue," he said.
Can US election hack be traced to Russia?
US broadcaster CNN reported on 10 January that US intelligences agencies had presented the information - in the form of a two-page synopsis - to the president-elect, to President Barack Obama and to several congressional leaders.
The briefing happened a week earlier and was intended to make Mr Trump and President Obama aware of the allegations circulating, according to the report.
The synopsis was attached to a classified US report into alleged Russian hacking, CNN says.
But this was only shared with the highest level of government and was not included in the intelligence report about Russian hacking that was more widely distributed.
Following the CNN report, Buzzfeed News published the full dossier.
It said it was doing so "so that Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government".
BBC Scotland pundits Derek Ferguson, who played for both finalists, and Billy Dodds, who is a former Rangers striker, here give their marks out of 10 for the two sides.
The former Rangers goalkeeper made some excellent saves and kept Raith Rovers in the game. If it was not for the heroics of defender Dougie Hill, Robinson would have been man of the match.
Raith Rovers' captain was sound and solid throughout and the full-back worked hard down the right.
Rovers' two central defenders coped with everything Rangers threw at them. The imposing Jon Daly was kept quiet, which says it all.
The central defender was man of the match for his show of great bravery, staying on after picking up a shoulder injury and playing through the pain barrier in extra time.
Like Thomson, Booth got forward when he could from his full-back position and also defended soundly. On home turf, the on-loan Hibernian defender had his hands full against Fraser Aird, who was Rangers' biggest threat, but coped reasonably well.
Wingers sometimes get lazy but, over the piece, Anderson did his job well defensively and showed real energy in getting forward, too.
He stayed back for much of the match but made a solid contribution and was tidy in distribution as part of Rovers' holding midfield duo.
Along with Fox, Moon did his defensive duties and picked his moments to go forward.
The winger worked his socks off and showed plenty of energy as well as doing his job in defence.
The winning goal was great compensation after it did not work out for the striker with Partick Thistle. He worked hard up front without much service.
The former Hearts striker used his physicality to unsettle Lee McCulloch and Bilel Mohsni in Rangers' defence.
Another who was back in familiar territory, the former Hibs man fitted well into the defensive midfield role vacated by Moon.
The former Celtic youth lacks a bit of quality at times but looked threatening when he came on and set up the winner.
The former Hearts striker put in a good shift when he came on.
The goalkeeper is one of the few Rangers players to get pass marks. He had a couple of routine saves before stopping Greig Spence's effort but was unable to stop John Baird on the rebound.
As an experienced player, the former Aberdeen and Bristol City full-back needed to contribute more. Poor distribution got him in trouble and he had a hand in the errors that led to the winning goal.
Rangers did not play to the strengths of the Scotland left-back. They did not use his athleticism to their advantage, although he did force one save from the goalkeeper.
The Rangers captain is usually reliable, but a poor clearance contributed to the winning goal. He picked the worst time to have his worst display of the season.
The Frenchman had a nightmare. His distribution was dismal, he slipped in the lead-up to the goal and twice headed over from close range.
At the moment, he has the Rangers fans on his back in a similar way to Charlie Adam because, rather than play the simple pass, he is trying another World Cup pass after five have already failed. The central midfielder looks a pale shadow of the player he was at Hearts.
The game by-passed him in central midfield, where he seemed unsure of his role.
The winger was Rangers' biggest threat in the first half. He faded after the break but showed good appetite for a young man.
He is a left-back playing as a left midfielder and it looked like it. However, he did force a good save with an excellent free-kick.
The striker so impressive last season for Dundee United was hardly in the game and looks to lack confidence and fitness. He had no service and did not impose himself on the Rovers central defenders.
Law appears to be another who has been dragged down after joining Rangers. He did have a shot that hit a post, but he is not impressing in midfield the way he did with Motherwell.
The defender made no impact on the game after replacing Wallace and his distribution was poor.
The striker tried hard enough, but nothing came off for him and his one shot was saved.
It was a surprise that the young forward was not brought on earlier considering his recent performances. He was not given enough time to make an impact.
Billy Dodds and Derek Ferguson were talking to BBC Scotland's Clive Lindsay.
Cleverly, 30, won his belt by beating Juergen Braehmer in October 2016.
According to WBA rules, a champion has 120 days to fight a mandatory challenger and this deadline has already expired for the Welshman.
Bivol won the Interim Championship in May 2016 after defeating Felix Valera.
The Russian 26-year-old has won all 11 of his professional bouts.
Cleverly's record is 30 wins - including 16 knockouts - and three defeats.
The WBA says both boxers' teams have 30 days, as of 27 July, 2017, to reach an agreement or the fight will be called to purse bids.

In the 1960s and early 1970s, Murphy maintained Ireland's tradition of middle distance excellence with a series of impressive performances.
Like Ronnie Delany before him and later Eamonn Coghlan, Murphy attended Villanova University in the US.
Murphy added a European indoor silver in 1970 to his 1969 outdoor silver.
A year after competing in his first Olympics in Mexico City, the Drumcondra native came within a stride of landing the European 1500m outdoor title in Athens as he was pipped by Britain's John Whetton.
Murphy's finishing time in the Greek capital of 3:39.51 was a then Irish record and he went on to improve his 1500m personal best to 3:38.5.
The Irishman, a member of the Clonliffe Harriers club, had earlier beaten Whetton in 1969 at the prestigious British AAA's Championships.
Murphy competed at a second Olympics in Munich before the Irish mile baton was picked up by the great Eamonn Coghlan, who like Murphy and Delany, was guided at Villanova by the legendary coach Jumbo Elliott.
In recent years, Murphy battled against Parkinson's disease and he passed away in a nursing home on Thursday.
Coghlan has been among many people connected with Irish athletics to pay tribute to the late Dubliner, who also had impressive 800m and mile personal bests of 1:47.4 and 3:58.1.
An Athletics Ireland statement said that the Irish governing body was "deeply saddened" to hear of Murphy's death.
Murphy was inducted into Athletics Ireland's hall of fame in 2014.
The offender, who police dubbed "Nigel" because "he looks like a Nigel", was picked up wandering the streets of Lurgan on Wednesday morning.
"Nigel didn't want to play ball", the arresting officer said. "He's an angry wee man and is seriously anti police!"
After the comedic Facebook post, "Nigel" was reunited with his owners.
His real name was Simba, which prompted the Lion King joke that he "certainly wasn't feeling the love tonight".
Pleading for the owners to come forward in the Facebook appeal, the PSNI Craigavon officer had written: "I like my fingers and don't fancy their chances if he's here another night.
"He's currently sleeping on my jacket, which I have a feeling he's not going to let me have back."
Officers were on routine patrol when they spotted Nigel on Ashleigh Crescent in the County Armagh town at about 03:30 BST.
He was not wearing a collar and seemed to be coming from Avenue Road towards Orient Circle or Carrick Drive.
"He was subsequently arrested for jay walking, disorderly behaviour and 2 counts of assault on police," wrote the officer.
"He's got serious anger issues, and bit myself AND Big T."
The post is accompanied by a rather indignant-looking Nigel sitting in the police car.
"By the way, in this photo he's in the driver's seat. MY seat. He chased me out of my own police car!! Angry wee so and so.
"Of course, the main thing is that Nigel is safe. The roads are no place for a wee lad like him to be wandering."
There are several hashtags listed at the end of the post, including #GetNigelHome, #WeeManSyndrome and #KeepingFingersSafe
Speaking to the Sunday Independent, Mrs Foster used the word to describe Sinn Féin's northern leader during a word-association game.
Mrs O'Neill has responded that there can be no place for sexism or any form of discrimination in public life.
"As political leaders we have a duty and a responsibility to lead by example," she said.
"There is a clear need for more women in public life and there is an onus on women in political leadership to empower women to encourage greater participation in public life."
The row was labelled "#blondegate' on Twitter, as social media filled with memes.
They included a mock-up of Mrs O'Neill as the lead character from the film Legally Blonde, and a cartoon crocodile in a blonde wig.
The latter is a reference to a previous "crocodile" comment made by Mrs Foster in reference to Sinn Féin demands for an Irish Language Act.
Their parties have so far failed to reach a power-sharing agreement to restore an executive in Northern Ireland since March's assembly election.
The Alliance Party leader, Naomi Long, described Mrs Foster's comments as "disappointing" and said describing another female leader in terms solely of her appearance "trivialises women in politics".
Mrs O'Neill's teenage daughter took to Twitter to defend her mother, calling Sunday's comments "disgraceful".
During the interview, when asked what word came to mind regarding Mrs O'Neill, Mrs Foster said: "I am not going to be sexist because I can't..." but when pushed by journalist Niamh Horan, she responded: "Blonde!".
When asked to expand she said: "Michelle is very attractive. She presents herself very well and she always is - you know - her appearance is always very 'the same'.
"You never see her without her make-up. You never see her without her hair [looking] 'perfect'."
In the same interview, Mrs Foster criticised scrutiny of her own appearance when the RHI scandal erupted last year.
She said: "Nobody looking at my Twitter feed or social media could say that there wasn't misogyny."
She described the "onslaught" as "horrific" and said the comments had physically upset her 17-year-old daughter.
Sinn Féin MLA Elisha MCallion called on Mrs Foster to retract the "sexist and disparaging remarks" about Mrs O'Neill.
"It is totally unacceptable in the 21st century for a political leader to characterise another political leader based on the colour of their hair.
"The irony of talking about sexism and misogyny appears to be totally lost on Arlene Foster when she makes such remarks about others."
The journalist who interviewed Mrs Foster defended the comments on The Nolan Show on Monday.
Niamh Horan said: "Blonde is a descriptive world, it's everyone else this morning attaching their own meaning to it."
Speaking to the BBC, the DUP's Sammy Wilson denied the comments were sexist, insisting that Arlene Foster was just stating the obvious.
He described the row as a "smokescreen" to political issues and said that Sinn Féin was trying to play the victim: "[going] out of their way to find grievance where no grievance was meant.
"If it had been me, I would have been making some far, far more derogatory comments about the way she's handled the job since she took over," he said.
Social media has been divided as to whether the comments were another "crocodile moment" by the DUP, or an overreaction by Sinn Féin politicians and some on social media.
DUP MLA Christopher Stalford mocked the reaction on his Facebook page, insinuating Sinn Féin was being over-sensitive and referred to them as "snow flakes". He also shared a photo of his blonde children on Twitter jokingly captioned "Blondies for Arlene!".
In January, Mrs Foster claimed calls for her to stand down over the RHI scandal were misogynistic.
Last season's fourth round produced two seismic football shocks.
Premier League Chelsea were knocked out by League One Bradford at Stamford Bridge and Manchester City were dumped out by Championship Middlesbrough.
BBC Sport takes a look at four ties where Premier League sides will hope to avoid away-day embarrassment this time around.
Derby County v Manchester United (Friday, 19:55 GMT - live on BBC One)
Manchester United's FA Cup trip to the East Midlands has more than a slim similarity to a club-defining moment in the Red Devils' history.
The televised game at the home of Derby's local rivals Nottingham Forest in January 1990 had a United manager facing fierce criticism from fans and media alike, and seemingly desperately clinging on to his job.
Sir Alex Ferguson's bacon was saved by a Mark Robins winner that day, and Ferguson's side went on to win the trophy.
How the increasingly agitated Louis Van Gaal could do with an unlikely hero to rescue him at the other end of the A52 on Friday.
Van Gaal's opposite number Paul Clement knows what pressure is like at a big club, having been an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain.
And now he is also experiencing the pressure of management for the first time.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"When you go two games without a win at Real Madrid it's a crisis, but you don't feel it like the manager does," said Clement, whose Rams side have dropped out of the automatic promotion places in the Championship following a winless five-game run.
"When you're the manager all thoughts are on team selection. You have to block out the noise. I know a good performance and a win is around the corner."
And he has sympathy with Van Gaal too.
"The man who followed Sir Alex [David Moyes] had his difficulties, and now the next man in has had some difficulties too," said Clement. "But coaches need time to develop what they want to do.
"You still have to get results, although the perfect performances we are all searching for do take longer to produce."
Colchester United v Tottenham (Saturday, 12:45 GMT)
For Colchester United, the FA Cup has been a welcome distraction from their dismal form in League One. But has their run to the fourth round come at a cost?
The U's, bottom of the third tier and seven points adrift of safety, have not won a league game since mid-October.
They have lost four of their six league matches since Kevin Keen replaced Tony Humes as manager on 21 December, but did shock Championship side Charlton in the third round to set up a home tie with Tottenham on Saturday.
And, despite their opponents being five points off the top of the Premier League, Keen is bullish over his side's chances.
"People can say what they want," Keen told BBC Essex. "The belief is within myself, [assistant manager] David Wright and the players.
"Who says we can't win? It's 11 v 11 at the end of the day."
The two teams have never met each other in a competitive match and Keen is plotting an unlikely victory for a side with the Football League's worst defence - having conceded 65 goals in 28 games.
"It's like a bonus week," said Keen. "Everyone is going to try to enjoy it, but we're going to try to win the game and get through to the next round.
"It's easy for me to say that, it's going to be a tough task, but the boys are switched on and ready to give a performance that hopefully credits the football club."
Portsmouth v Bournemouth (Saturday, 15:00 GMT)
Footballing fortunes have taken these two clubs on very different paths since their last competitive league meeting in February 2013.
Bournemouth got the better of Portsmouth in a 2-0 League One win at Dean Court that day.
The season culminated in the Cherries' promotion to the Championship and Portsmouth's relegation to League Two, after finishing bottom and with a 10-point deduction for entering administration.
A 1-0 League Cup first-round victory for Bournemouth came the following August, but the two clubs have moved poles apart since.
Bournemouth now sit among the top-flight's big names after a whirlwind few years, while Portsmouth lie in the play-off positions of League Two.
One man who has watched the two clubs' transformations as a manager, local radio pundit and youth development coach is former Portsmouth striker Guy Whittingham.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"It's a complete change around for both clubs really," he told BBC Sport. "Bournemouth have done unbelievably well to soar through the leagues with great players and great management.
"That's not just on the pitch, but all the way through the club."
Whittingham made almost 200 appearances for Portsmouth and managed them for 51 games between November 2012 and November 2013.
"I was obviously involved with the two administrations, which were hard and sad times," he added. "But two and a half years on from when the fans took over, things are beginning to get a lot better.
"The club's in a different position now for sure."
Whittingham also played a significant role in the last FA Cup fourth-round meeting between the clubs in 1991.
He scored four goals in a 5-1 win for the hosts at Fratton Park, but admits struggling to remember his exact contribution.
"I thought we won 4-0," he replied. "I knew there was a four in there somewhere. I have to try very hard to remember those sorts of days now."
MK Dons v Chelsea (Sunday, 16:00 GMT - live on BBC One)
Last season MK Dons and Chelsea were on opposite sides of arguably the biggest cup upsets of the campaign.
Karl Robinson's Dons trounced Manchester United 4-0 in the Capital One Cup second round, while the Blues fell to a dramatic 4-2 defeat by League One side Bradford City at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup.
Now they face each other in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Stadium MK.
"I don't think it does you any harm to take hope from what's gone on in the past," Dons midfielder Darren Potter told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"Bradford dug in that day and came back from a losing position to turn the game on its head away at Chelsea - I think we've got to draw hope in any way we can."
Both sides are in the bottom half of their respective divisions, MK 20th in their first-ever season in the Championship and Chelsea 13th in the top flight despite winning the Premier League title last term.
However, Chelsea are yet to lose in seven games since Guus Hiddink replaced Jose Mourinho.
"That tells you everything you need to know," said Potter, whose side lost 3-1 at fellow strugglers Bolton on Saturday.
"They've obviously turned a corner, putting in good performances and getting good results - it's almost like the Chelsea you've come to expect from last season.
"When you look at the table it doesn't do them any justice at the moment."
The posters in Arabic, Urdu, Bengali and Somali will appear in 32 practices in the city after the charity started receiving calls from worried adults.
NSPCC's ChildLine volunteers in Wales held 60 counselling sessions related to fears of terrorism between November 2015 and July this year.
The new helpline will provide advice.
Across the UK, the posters will appear in 1,000 surgeries and aim to reach six million people a month.
In Wales, the posters which will only be displayed in Cardiff, will also be written in Welsh and will appear in waiting rooms to let people know about the service - set up after a spate of terrorist attacks and the growing problem of extremists targeting children.
NSPCC counsellors have been trained to spot the warning signs of radicalisation so they can advise adults who are worried about a child being groomed.
It comes after volunteers for Welsh Childline, the NSPCC's counselling service for children, said it had dealt with a number of calls and online enquiries from children who had been bullied as a result of terrorist activity elsewhere.
Many said they felt judged on how they looked and were discriminated against because of the faith they followed. Some also said they felt "depressed" and "isolated" as a result of the bullying.
Signs which hint at a child being radicalised include:
Source: NSPCC
Des Mannion, head of NSPCC Wales, said parents would be given advice on how to cope with "this fresh danger to young people".
"We have seen a wave of terrorist attacks in recent weeks and months and both parents and children tell us how frightened they are by what is happening," he said.
"The number of calls received by ChildLine only adds to the feelings of fear and sadness that these evil attacks have prompted all over the world.
"It is vital that we are able to provide parents with non-judgemental advice on issues ranging from the wider terrorist threat to the dangers of radicalisation."
In January, schools in Wales were urged to look out for signs of pupils being radicalised by extremist groups in updated guidance released by the Welsh Government.
The visitors went in level at the break 12-12 after tries from Jake Mamo and Kruise Leeming, with Matt Parcell and Joel Moon responding for the hosts.
Giants, winless in eight league games, went ahead with Dale Ferguson, Darnell McIntosh and Ollie Roberts scores.
Leeds remain second, while Huddersfield move up to 10th.
Rick Stone's Giants came into the match on the back of a Challenge Cup defeat by part-time Championship side Swinton Lions last weekend, while Leeds would have overtaken leaders Castleford with at least a draw.
Danny Brough returned to the Giants line-up on his return from suspension and was influential throughout with pinpoint kicking.
After an even first half, Leeds thought they had scored the first try of the second when Danny McGuire crossed on 52 minutes, but the video referee ruled it out for obstruction.
That immediately spurred Huddersfield into action, scoring two tries in four minutes as Ferguson crossed before McIntosh capitalised on a dropped catch to run down the wing and cross.
A Brough drop-goal and a Roberts try added gloss to a scoreline which can give the Giants confidence going into their game against leaders Cas next week.
Leeds: Walker, Briscoe, Watkins, Handley, Hall, McGuire, Moon, Galloway, Parcell, Mullally, Jones-Buchanan, Delaney, Cuthbertson.
Replacements: Burrow, Ward, Singleton, Garbutt.
Huddersfield: Mamo, McGillvary, Mellor, Murphy, McIntosh, Brough, S. Wood, Ikahihifo, Leeming, Wakeman, Roberts, Ferguson, Hinchcliffe.
Replacements: Clough, Smith, English, O'Brien.
Referee: Chris Kendall
Nouri Maliki said sectarian conflict had returned to Iraq "because it began in another place in this region" - an apparent reference to Syria.
The violence has left some 170 people dead across the country since Tuesday.
On Saturday, at least five anti-al-Qaeda Sunni militiamen and three security forces personnel were killed.
Police said the first attack saw gunmen open fire on a checkpoint near the city of Tikrit manned by members of the local Awakening Council.
Awakening Councils, which were set up by Iraq's Sunnis to combat insurgents linked to al-Qaeda, have been seen as a key factor in reducing violence across the country since 2006.
In Saturday's second attack, three army intelligence personnel were stopped by gunmen while travelling in a civilian vehicle near an anti-government protest camp in the city of Ramadi, police said.
A gunfight soon erupted, in which the soldiers were killed.
In a televised speech following the latest violence, Prime Minister Maliki condemned sectarianism as an evil that was being brought back to Iraq.
"Sectarianism is evil, and the wind of sectarianism does not need a licence to cross from a country to another, because if it begins in a place it will move to another place," he said.
"Strife is knocking on the doors of everyone, and no-one will survive if it enters, because there is a wind behind it, and money, and plans," he added, without giving details.
Awakening Council chief Sheikh Wissam al-Hardan was meanwhile quoted by state television as saying that if those responsible for killing soldiers in the past week were not handed over, it would "take the requested procedures and do what it did in 2006".
On Friday, the UN envoy to Iraq, Martin Kobler, urged political and religious leaders "not to let anger win over peace" and exercise restraint, warning that the country was "at a crossroads".
The clashes in several towns and cities were sparked by an army raid on an anti-government protest camp near the northern town of Hawija on Tuesday that left 50 people dead.
The protesters were calling for the resignation of Mr Maliki, a Shia, and denouncing the authorities for allegedly targeting the Sunni community.
Although the violence is less deadly than that seen during the heights of the insurgency in 2006 and 2007, it is the most widespread since the US military withdrawal in 2011.
Defendant Ross Compton, who faces aggravated arson charges, claims he was woken by a fire at home, packed a case, broke a window and threw out the bag.
A cardiologist told police his explanation was "highly improbable" based on his heart rate and cardiac rhythms at the time.
Mr Compton's lawyer said allowing pacemaker evidence expanded government snooping into private data.
"We take the strong position that medical data regarding the inner functions of one's body, designed to assist a doctor in keeping a patient alive, should be safeguarded against government overreach," he told tech news website CNet.
"As was argued to the court, what is next on this slippery slope as technology advances?"
The fire, which caused $400,000 (£309,000) in damages, broke out in September last year.
According to local paper Journal News, Judge Charles Pater said: "There is a lot of other information about things that may characterise the inside of my body that I would much prefer to keep private rather than how my heart is beating. It is just not that big of a deal."
In a letter to world leaders, the group urges the UK to "take a lead" in the push for more tax transparency.
Poor countries are the biggest losers from tax havens, they claim.
The letter's signatories, co-ordinated by charity Oxfam, include best-selling author Thomas Piketty and 2015 Nobel Prize economics winner Angus Deaton.
The letter comes ahead of the UK government's anti-corruption summit on Thursday, which politicians from 40 countries as well as World Bank and IMF representatives are expected to attend.
The economists - who include almost 50 professors from British universities - argue the UK's position as summit host as well as its sovereignty over what it says is a third of the world's tax havens makes it "uniquely placed" to take the lead.
"We need new global agreements on issues such as public country-by-country reporting, including for tax havens," the economists write in the letter.
"Governments must also put their own houses in order by ensuring that all the territories for which they are responsible make publicly available information about the real 'beneficial' owners of company and trusts," they add.
The letter comes in the aftermath of the Panama Papers leak, which revealed how some rich people hide assets, sparking widespread condemnation that the authorities had failed to act.
One of the signatories, the economist Dr Ha-Joon Chang of the University of Cambridge, told the BBC that he signed the letter because he shared "the view that tax havens serve no useful purpose".
Dr Chang said: "These tax havens basically allow companies and certain individuals to free-ride on the rest of humanity.
"These companies and people make money in one country by using workers educated with public money, using roads, ports and other infrastructure paid for by the taxpayers of that country and moving the money to another country in a shell company which doesn't really do any business there."
Another high-profile signatory, Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University, also told the BBC that tax havens showed "how the rich and the powerful really control the levers of finance".
He said: "Even with the secrecy, we're in a more transparent world so I think our governments are being pushed harder and harder to crack down on these abuses."
However, James Quarmby, a tax lawyer at the international law firm Stephenson Harwood, argued that offshore financial centres play an important role in international finance and trade.
"The Panama papers had a number of people who used that jurisdiction for criminal purposes," he said. "But you can't just argue for shutting down of finance centres because some criminals use them."
Mr Quarmby added: "There's more money laundering going on in New York, Frankfurt and London than any of the finance centres and I don't hear Mr Sachs arguing for those jurisdictions to be shut down."
Oxfam said that more than half of the companies set up by Mossack Fonseca, the law firm in the Panama Papers leak, were incorporated in British Overseas Territories such as the British Virgin Islands.
"As long as British-linked tax havens continue to help the rich and powerful get away with dodging tax it will remain deeply damaging to the UK's credibility as a leader in the fight against corruption and global poverty," said Oxfam chief executive Mark Goldring.
Last month, tax and law enforcement agencies in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain agreed to share data in a new crackdown on international tax dodging.
Under the deal, the five nations will exchange information regarding beneficial ownership registers, which show who really owns assets.
However, only the UK has so far committed to making this information public.
Registers or "similarly effective systems" will be introduced in UK overseas territories, but are expected to be open to enforcement agencies, not to the public.
Separately, it has emerged that there has been an increase in the amount of money flowing offshore from developing countries, in particular Russia and China.
Research carried out by Columbia University professor James S Henry for the Tax Justice Network found $12.1tn (£8tn) had been shifted out of emerging economies.
Offshore accounts belonging to Russian citizens totalled $1.3tn, while Chinese citizens, including those in Hong Kong and Macau, had $1.2tn sitting offshore.
Edinburgh said nearly 1.1 million passengers passed through the airport - its second busiest month ever.
It was the second time in a row that the airport attracted more than one million passengers, having achieved the milestone in May.
Meanwhile, Glasgow recorded more than 905,000 passengers - an annual increase of 14.2%.
Edinburgh Airport saw domestic traffic rise year-on-year by 9.9% to nearly 476,000, thanks to increased services to London with Ryanair, Flybe and BA Cityflyer.
International passenger numbers rose by 11.1%, with a total of just under 623,00 people travelling through the airport.
Edinburgh said numbers were boosted by increased Easyjet services to Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Nice, Berlin and Madrid and more Ryanair flights to Dublin, Rome and Barcelona.
Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar added: "We had an incredibly busy month in June with more passengers travelling through than ever before.
"As the summer properly gets underway we're anticipating our passenger numbers will continue to grow as people head off on the holidays."
Glasgow saw international traffic grow by 15.6% in June, while domestic passenger numbers were up by 12.2%.
The rise in domestic traffic was attributed to "significant increases" in demand for services to London.
An increase in demand for a number of regional services, including Belfast and Bristol, also contributed to the month's domestic growth.
Glasgow Airport managing director Amanda McMillan said: "June has always been a busy month at the airport with the arrival of the school holidays, but this year we were busier than ever as we continue to enjoy unprecedented levels of growth in our passenger numbers."
Aberdeen Airport recorded just under 324,000 passengers in June, a fall of 5.7% compared with a year ago.
Helicopter traffic continued to fall, slipping by 7.6% on 2014 levels, while fixed wing traffic was down by 5.4%.
Aberdeen Airport managing director Carol Benzie said "We have seen a reduction in traffic across both fixed wing and helicopter traffic last month compared with the same month last year as the oil and gas sector continues in its cost efficiency drive and the impacts are felt across the region.
"We also recognise that 2014 was a record year for us".
Deng, who played for both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls last season, will effectively replace NBA superstar LeBron James, who joined the Cavaliers last week.
"Luol Deng is one of the most important free agent signings in the history of the franchise," said Heat president Pat Riley. "He is a proven All-Star."
Dwayne Wade will be at Miami next season after re-signing for the Heat.
Sudan-born Deng represented the Bulls from 2004 to 2014, twice earning selection as an NBA All-Star. He was traded to the Cavs in January.
The 29-year-old competed for Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics and has been named in Joe Prunty's squad for the forthcoming Eurobasket qualifying campaign.
The Heat have appeared in the last four NBA Finals, winning in 2012 and 2013, but were beaten by the San Antonio Spurs last season. | Northern Ireland's First Minister Arlene Foster has said Stormont should move to an expenses system similar to that at Westminster.

It had ordered a review of the plane after battery problems grounded the entire fleet last year.
The FAA said some of Boeing's suppliers did not follow industry standards for inspection that include training and testing requirement for inspectors.
But it said "effective processes" had been implemented to correct issues that arose during and after certification.
"For manufacturing, early issues with suppliers implementing the new business processes are being addressed, and improvements are in progress throughout the supply chain," said the report, issued jointly by the FAA and Boeing's critical systems review team.
The report added that while some design issues had occurred, their causes tended to represent "individual escapes in the design or manufacture of the airplane".
It said "a certain number of such escapes are to be expected in the development of a complex product such as a large airplane, due to state-of-the-art limitations in current design, manufacturing, and certification processes".
The 787 Dreamliner is considered to be one of the most advanced planes in the industry. However, it has been hit by a series of issues.
Last year, its entire fleet was grounded by regulators amid safety concerns.
That was after a fire in one of Japan Airlines' 787 Dreamliners, and a battery fault forced an All Nippon Airways (ANA) flight forced it to make an emergency landing.
The planes have since been given permission to fly again and Boeing has redesigned the battery system. However, the precise cause of the problem was never conclusively proved.
The plane has also suffered other issues in the recent past.
In July last year, a fire broke out on a 787 jet operated by Ethiopian Airlines while it was parked at London's Heathrow Airport. It was traced to the upper rear part of the plane where a locator transmitter is placed.
In August, ANA said it had found damage to the battery wiring on two 787 locator transmitters during checks.
US carrier United Airlines also found a pinched wire during an inspection of one of its six 787s.
Later in the year, one of the two engine-protecting anti-ice systems failed on a jet operated by Japan Airlines.
Earlier this month, Boeing said it was checking Dreamliner planes being produced in the US for potential "hairline cracks" in their wings.
That move came after Japanese supplier Mitsubishi Heavy Industries warned Boeing that a change in its manufacturing process may cause cracks.
Despite these issues, the plane continues to remain popular and Boeing has received orders for more than 1,000 jets since its launch.
Workers at Welcome Foods at Huthwaite, near Sutton in Ashfield, were told the firm has been "impacted by difficult trading conditions".
The union Unite said the closure was a "heavy blow" for the workforce and the local economy.
Parent company Bakkavor has begun a consultation to move work to its other sites.
Steve Syson, regional officer for the union, said: "The union wants an urgent meeting with the management next week, with the aim of mitigating and reducing the large-scale job losses.
"We want to explore the business reasons for the planned closure during a 45-day consultation period and the opportunities for alternative employment within the group."
In a statement, Welcome Foods, which makes sauces and gravy, said: "The group has explored a number of different options to sustain the business, but has now concluded Welcome Foods is no longer commercially viable.
"Therefore, our proposal is to cease operations at Welcome Foods and transfer production to other Bakkavor sites which have similar product synergies."
The company added that if the proposal goes ahead it would "make significant efforts" to find alternative jobs for workers locally or elsewhere within the Bakkavor group.
Bakkavor employs more than 18,000 people worldwide across 43 facilities.
It was a war in which the UK mission in Basra came "close to failure" and which left Britain's military reputation and confidence "damaged". Those are the words of retired Brigadier Ben Barry (Retd) who carried out the British army's own internal report on the lessons learnt.
The families of the 179 British soldiers who died in Iraq are hoping this report gives them the answers as to what went wrong.
Twenty-seven of those servicemen died while travelling in lightly armoured Snatch Land Rovers, a vehicle totally unsuitable to protect them from the threats of roadside bombs and that were dubbed "mobile coffins".
The Snatch Land Rover is just one illustration that Britain's military chiefs were ill-prepared for the fight. Soldiers not only had to rely on poorly protected vehicles but the secrecy surrounding the invasion meant that some kit, including extra body armour, couldn't be sent until the last minute.
The attack on Royal Military Police at Majar-al-Kabir in 2003, which left six Red Caps dead, was a wake-up call to the nation that this was not going to be an easy fight.
Not only were they surprised by the levels of resistance and largely unaware of Iraq's sectarian divide, they didn't even have satellite communications to call for help and reinforcements.
The BBC has spoken to a number of senior officers involved in the preparation for the war, the invasion itself and the subsequent occupation - including those who gave evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry. Many are expecting strong criticism of the military and for the Army in particular.
It's a chapter that has left deep scars. One senior officer described it as an "embarrassment", another said that it left them "humiliated" in the eyes of their American allies. Their hope is that, whatever the criticisms, it won't detract from individual acts of bravery shown by soldiers on the ground.
But it's clear - even before the publication of Sir John Chilcot's report - that military chiefs were ill-prepared for what happened after the success of the initial invasion.
Most of the failings go back to the lack of planning. Beyond the immediate invasion British forces had no clear orders. Major General Tim Cross (Retd), who was one of the few trying to prepare for the aftermath of the invasion, said he'd warned Tony Blair that they should not begin the military campaign without a more coherent post-war plan.
While he said it was easy to blame the Americans, who were in the driving seat: "The UK should have done far more to get our minds round this issue."
There was a mistaken hubris, a belief that it would turn out all right. To some extent the British military had been seduced by recent successes: from Northern Ireland, the Falklands and the first Gulf War to more recent small-scale interventions in Kosovo and Sierra Leone. Top brass wrongly assumed they were well prepared for Iraq.
The Army hoped, and even believed, that it would be the same in 2003. There was an assumption that they would be greeted as liberators, rather than infidel invaders - as shown by the removal of hard hats for soft berets in the early stages of occupation.
There was no real understanding, either, of the malign influence of Iran and the Shia militia, or what would fill the void once the apparatus of the old Iraqi state had been dismantled, on American orders.
The British army's ingrained "can-do" spirit can help in overcoming obstacles, but it might have also hampered its ability to highlight problems and to speak "truth to power".
The Army may even have believed in boasts that Britain "punched above its weight". The initial British invasion force of 46,000 troops was soon reduced to a third of that number, leaving UK forces thinly stretched across an area the size of England.
This led to another problem. While getting bogged down in Iraq the Army was already turning its attention to Helmand in Afghanistan. Some senior officers have argued it was already ill-prepared for one significant long-term deployment, let alone two.
Sir John Chilcot has every reason to ask why the Army was arguing to escalate its military intervention in Afghanistan while it was still struggling to make a difference in Iraq.
Lt General Sir Robert Fry (Retd), who was charged with scaling-up the British intervention in Helmand, says, in reality, the British were looking for an exit once it became clear that there were no weapons of mass destruction and it became harder to maintain public support for the war.
Just as the remaining British forces withdrew to Basra airbase, the US was doing the opposite and expanding its mission to defeat the insurgency. Ben Barry concludes "there is good evidence that US forces in Iraq changed and adapted faster than the British".
While the British became increasingly worried about casualties and the public perception of the war, US President George W Bush took the decision to create a surge in US forces. Unlike the British, the Americans also embedded their troops with Iraqi forces and introduced new mine-protected vehicles - the MWRAP.
One of the architects of the Iraq War, the former US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, once famously said: "You go to war with the army you have." But his successor, Robert Gates, added: "But you damn-well should move as fast as possible to get the army you need."
The families of those who served, often with bravery, in Iraq and the families who lost loved ones, have every reason to ask why Britain did not learn that lesson.

The error - caused by mixing up measurements from older imperial meters with modern metric ones - is thought to have affected thousands of people.
The regulator has ordered gas suppliers to refund any affected customers.
The problem came to light after energy firm E.On discovered that it had overcharged 350 of its customers.
One customer paid too much for 15 years, E.On has admitted.
The company said that all compensation would be worked out on an individual basis.
Those that have been overcharged are people who have imperial meters - which measure gas use in hundreds of cubic feet.
They have been charged as if they had used cubic meters instead.
Some people in the reverse situation have been undercharged, but they will not have to pay any extra.
E.On has identified 250 customers in that position. They should have paid 65% more than they did.
The regulator, Ofgem, believes that several thousand households may have been affected in total.
As a result, all the other energy firms have been ordered to identify any customers who have been overcharged by Friday this week.
"We have written to suppliers and asked them to refund affected customers," an Ofgem spokesperson told the BBC.
Ofgem said the mistake had been caused by human error.
E.On said the 350 customers who had paid too much would be refunded in full, "plus interest and appropriate compensation".
Customers themselves do not need to take any action.
However details on the difference between cubic and metric meters can be found here.
Trade body Energy UK said firms were "working hard" to address the issue.
The trade association, which represents the major energy companies, said "detailed analysis" showed "an extremely small number of accounts" had been affected.
"Any customer affected will be contacted shortly by their supplier and where there has been overcharging, a refund will be issued as quickly as possible," it added.
Sam and Chris Ogrizovic's grandfather Nicola escaped Brlog when he was 14 years old.
He was kept prisoner in Italy for five years and later moved to Ravenshead, Nottinghamshire, for mining work.
Now his grandsons have hitchhiked the journey in reverse in five days without consulting a map or spending money.
The pair set off on on 1 May. Along the way they spent a night at a service station in the Austrian Alps and hitchhiked to Zagreb with a lorry driver who spoke no English.
As they walked through rural Croatia they met a couple who took them in for the night.
"We explained our story and they took us to their home in Ogulin and we started on the raki [alcoholic drink]," the pair wrote on their Facebook page.
"The hospitality shown has gone beyond kindness.
"Sounds gushy, but a truly life changing night!"
The couple, Toni and Goga, drove the cousins to Brlog and acted as translators as they discovered relatives they had not previously known about.
"We went to the cemetery and found the graves of my Papa's father, mother and sister, then we got taken to someone that knew my Papa and as we were sat talking through the translator they mentioned we were sat in his old house!" they said.
"After that we were told we had family in the village who had been trying to contact us but failed.
"So emotional.....celebrating with family we never knew we had and Papa has returned home!"
Nicola Ogrizovic, known as Nick, died from Alzheimer's disease last year, aged 86.
Sam, 30, from Nottinghamshire and cousin Chris, 31, son of former Coventry City goalkeeper Steve Ogrizovic, decided to take on the challenge at their grandfather's funeral.
The pair have so far raised more than £5,300 for the Alzheimer's Society.
Inside the country, the regime is as secretive as any regime gets. And outside, many people from all sides have an interest in misstatements.
Intelligence agencies sometimes overstate threats; Pyongyang might overstate its own power; some defectors write their stories too strongly; Pyongyang's fellow travellers see no evil.
So what should we make of the reports that North Korean Defence Minister, Hyon Yong-chol, was purged and executed by anti-aircraft gunfire?
The South Korean intelligence agency told the BBC that it believed that he had been stripped of power. On that there is a strong degree of certainty. They had information which made them believe he was no longer important.
But the method of purging - banishment or execution by whatever means - was its best analysis (implying, a lower level of certainty).
There are three different points to the assertion - that he's been purged, that he's been executed and that it was in a particularly vicious way. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) assesses each separately.
It may or may not have reliable sources - spies - inside the country with good access to information on who's suddenly disappeared. But it also relies on those who may not know the full facts, as well as on the analysis of photographs and broadcasts.
This last method can be very useful for determining who's in favour and who's been purged. A study of the pallbearers at the funeral of Kim Jong-un's father reveals who was powerful then and their later absence indicates a fall from power.
But this analysis can tell us nothing about how somebody disappeared from public view.
When Kim Jong-un's uncle, Chang Song-thaek, was arrested, it was announced by the North Korean state media.
There were pictures of the arrest. Kim Jong-un wanted to make an example of the cost of disloyalty so it was made public.
But even that provided a lesson. It soon became "fact" on the internet that he had been stripped naked and thrown to a hundred ravenous dogs. This was false and the work of a Chinese blogger with a feverish imagination.
As the old saying goes: "Falsehood was halfway round the world before truth had got its shoes on."
May 2015: Defence Minister Hyon Yong-chol executed for showing disloyalty to leader Kim Jong-un, reports say
December 2013: Kim Jong-un's uncle, Chang Song-thaek, executed after being purged for "acts of treachery", state media says
July 2012: Army chief Ri Yong-ho removed from all official posts "because of illness"
Of the seven pallbearers at former leader Kim Jong-il's 2011 funeral, apart from Kim Jong-un, all have either been executed, have lost their jobs or have not been seen in some time
What is known about North Korea's purge?
The measured (likely) truth of the latest case is that Hyon Yong-chol has been purged.
The NIS has a good track record on this kind of assertion. It got it right, for example, when it said before it was announced by North Korea that the uncle, Chang Song-thaek, had been purged.
It's unlikely to have been so forthright in the new case if it wasn't pretty sure.
What it may not be so sure about is the method of purging. Aerial photographs recently published seemed to indicate the presence of anti-aircraft guns at a firing range for small arms and some outside observers concluded this was a new method of execution.
These pictures are open to interpretation so the usual caveats about salt and scepticism apply.
In the latest case, two plus two may make five. The route of information makes misinformation more likely: the NIS briefs lawmakers in private and some lawmakers then brief the press about the briefing.
This is obviously open to misunderstanding. A press eager for lurid headlines gets information from a politician who may or may not get every nuance and detail right.
Misinformation also comes from Pyongyang. Take the recent case of the pictures of the missile launched from a submarine. Some experts in the United States now detect photoshopping - "some of the imagery released by North Korea may have been altered," as one of the experts put it.
The best advice when reading powerful accounts about North Korea is to be sceptical. Remember the caveats.
That doesn't mean that everything should be dismissed: there is no doubt that North Korea does purge senior people without notice; it is trying to develop nuclear weapons.
But on individual lurid accounts, keep the salt close by.
Mass graves containing 113 male skeletons were unearthed just outside the city walls in 2008.
It is thought the men had fought for the Parliamentarians during the siege of York in 1644.
An investigation for the BBC series History Cold Case has concluded the men probably died from typhus fever.
The programme features a team from the Centre of Anatomy and Human Identification at the University of Dundee.
Their examination of the bodies showed clear signs of broken bones and serious infections, but no signs of an obvious cause of death.
The location the graves were discovered in pointed to a burial at some point during the 17th Century.
As a result, the team believe the bodies were buried during the war between King Charles I and the supporters of Parliament in the 1640s.
York was the key to controlling the north of England during the war and the city was besieged by Parliamentarian forces under Lord Fairfax during the spring of 1644.
The mass graves were found on the side of the city walls where Lord Fairfax's forces were camped.
Further tests revealed the men would have had a diet that was high in seafood.
Civil War experts confirmed that a large proportion of the Parliamentarian army besieging York came from Hull.
A large merchant fleet operated out of the Yorkshire port and many of the seamen volunteered to fight for Parliament.
These men did not die in battle though.
Team leader, forensic anthropologist Professor Sue Black, said: "It is reasonable to expect these were fighting men but we don't find trauma giving us evidence of how these men died.
"What we do know is that more people died in this conflict because of disease."
The team believe typhus fever, which was common, highly contagious and would have caused no long-lasting trauma to the bones, was the likeliest cause of death.
Among the skeletons were two sets of remains which showed signs of severe disfigurement.
The hand bones of one were fused together while the second had more severe bone fusions in an arm and leg.
This rare disability is a genetically linked abnormality but the DNA was not of high enough quality to determine whether they were related.
Professor Sue Black said: "It is possible that they could still be related, we just can't show it.
"I think the chances of having this condition in individuals who are not related and are in pretty much the same grave at the same time would be stretching it a bit far."
Graham Bruce, the local archaeologist who supervised the initial excavation, said: "This investigation really fleshes out those people that we're dealing with during that quite tumultuous period of English history."
History Cold Case: The York 113 will be shown on BBC Two at 2100 BST on Thursday 7 July 2011 and later in the UK on BBC iPlayer.
Officials said the six men who had stormed the transport ministry facility and taken several hostages were killed.
Two policemen who had been guarding the building also died, they added. But one security source put the toll at 18.
No group has claimed responsibility, though Sunni militants linked to al-Qaeda have mounted similar attacks.
Violence has surged across Iraq in the past year, reaching levels not seen since the height of the sectarian insurgency in 2007.
The United Nations says 7,818 civilians and 1,050 members of the security forces died in 2013. More than 900 people are reported to have been killed since the start of the year.
The brazen assault on the transport ministry facility in the capital's north-east began just after midday.
Officials told the AFP news agency that the attackers had all been wearing explosive vests and had initially tried to detonate a car bomb at the entrance to the building.
When it did not explode, one of the men blew himself up to clear the way for the others, the officials added. A second man then detonated his suicide vest at an inner gate.
The four remaining militants then held a number of people hostage for several hours before they were killed by security forces, interior ministry spokesman Gen Saad Maan told the BBC.
One of the police guards who died had been at an entrance and the other had been in charge of monitoring security cameras, he said.
A senior security source told the Reuters news agency that the militants killed at least 18 people including themselves and four hostages. It is not clear who the others were.
During the operation security forces sealed off the surrounding area, which is also home to the transport ministry's headquarters and a human rights ministry building.
Also on Thursday, at least four people were killed by a car bomb in the northern Kasra district of Baghdad, according to the Associated Press. Nine people were killed in bombings in the capital on Wednesday night.
The violence comes amid a month-long stand-off between the security forces and Sunni militants linked to al-Qaeda who have seized control of two cities in the western province of Anbar.
US channel The CW will premiere Reign, which stars former Neighbours actress Adelaide Kane as the young royal, on 17 October.
French actress Camille Rutherford portrays the Scot in new film Mary Queen of Scots, which will be released in Switzerland on 7 November.
The feature was shown at this year's Toronto and Locarno film festivals.
Directed by Swiss film-maker Thomas Imbach, it is based on Austrian novelist Stefan Zweig's 1935 biography, Mary Stuart.
The film's premieres at Toronto and Locarno in Switzerland received mixed reviews from critics.
Screen Daily said Mary's story was "nicely presented" but "rarely brims with much needed passion or drama".
Variety's reviewer described the royal as "one of the most gripping figures in romantic imagination" but was not impressed with the film.
The Hollywood Reporter said it was an intimate and serious examination of Mary, but "never quite gets into the head of its protagonist".
Television network, The CW, said its new drama will chronicle the rise to power of Mary when she arrives in France as a 15-year-old, betrothed to Francis, a French prince.
In Reign, the young queen's three best friends are her ladies-in-waiting.
The CW has said in its publicity for the series that it "details the secret history of survival at French Court amidst fierce foes, dark forces, and a world of sexual intrigue".
Audrey Hepburn, Vanessa Redgrave and Clemence Poesy are among actresses to have previously portrayed the queen.
Born in 1542 in Linlithgow Palace, Mary became queen when she was just six days old.
Her cousin Elizabeth I signed orders for her execution in 1587.
He's just been nominated for six Grammy Awards, including two for his debut album, and won this year's Brits Critics' Choice Award after taking the BBC's Sound of 2014 title.
He'll also go head-to-head with Ed Sheeran at the first ever BBC Music Awards this month and appeared on Band Aid 30.
He's told Radio 1's Zane Lowe that he isn't worried about what he'll do next to top all of that.
The singer's album In The Lonely Hour is about heartbreak, but he says that he can take inspiration from anything.
"People are asking me, 'How are you going to write another record because you're going to be happy?' It's just so stupid because Latch is about being happy and in love.
"Money On My Mind isn't about love."
Here are six things you may not know about Sam Smith...
"I first moved to this area (Limehouse) when I was 18 when I left school. And I lived with a manager.
"It wasn't anything romantic or anything, but I needed to be in London to start my music. So I moved in with my manager, not my current manager.
"And I lived here for two years. And my mum lives here as well. But then I moved away, for about three years, to a flat in Oval which was like £400 a month."
"I actually wrote La La La walking along the river near Vauxhall.
"I used to walk back from the studio where I used to work.
"I used to walk from Old Street to Oval, which is like a two-hour walk."
"There's a song on my album called I Told You Now which I recorded with Ed White. Actually when I listen back to it I kinda regret [it].
"I'm like actually maybe I should've done a new version because my voice sounds awful.
"Basically it was our first ever session together and I had really bad tonsillitis.
"My tonsils were huge, I couldn't even speak very well. But we got together and my label pressured me to go to the session.
"I went and we wrote this song and if you listen to the song, you can hear the tonsillitis. That very night I had to go to hospital."
"You've caught me on a really good day and people just say I shouldn't speak about this, but I don't care, I'm way too honest for my own good.
"But I met someone a week ago - very, very early days, like a few dates in.
"It's the first time I've felt something really amazing since the person the album was about.
"It's the first time I've actually really fancied someone."
"I'm already writing, I feel like I've got a title to my album already, I've got a concept of what I wanna do.
"There's all these amazing things going through my head all the time. And what I'm trying to do is, I'm trying to find a way to relate and challenge myself as well.
"I don't wanna rest on my laurels and think, 'Love, I need to fall in love, and then write a record.'
"I wanna challenge myself and be like, 'No.'
"I wanna be honest in a whole other way on this next record. That's all I'm gonna say."
"James Bay, he's amazing. And I also love Years and Years. They supported me on tour."

Louis Jordan, 37, said putting his clothes in the sea helped catch fish, and he thanked God for saving him when he was down to his last drops of water.
"Finally God answered my prayer right before I ran out," he told CNN.
His capsized sailing boat was found by a German ship 200 miles off the North Carolina coast on Thursday. He suffered dehydration and an injured shoulder.
The Coast Guard expressed surprise at how well he was, but said they had no reason to doubt his story.
When the boat flipped in the middle of the night, he said he was sent flying through the air.
The injury he suffered meant he could not repair his broken mast, and all his electronics and navigation systems were useless.
After his food and drink ran out, he collected rainwater and eventually had 25 gallons, which he drank at a rate of a pint a day.
He had difficulty catching the fish, until he noticed they were attracted to his laundry when he put clothes in the sea to rinse.
So using a hand net, he managed to catch food.
His family, who reported him missing at the end of January after he went out on a fishing trip, spoke to him by phone after the rescue.
Mr Jordan's father said: "I thought I lost you."
In an audio clip of the phone call, Mr Jordan apologised for not being able to sail home.
The US Coast Guard transported Jordan by helicopter from the German vessel, Houston Express, to a hospital in Norfolk, Virginia, but he was discharged on Friday morning.
He had denied taking payments from Colombian drug lords in the 1980s and laundering the money in France.
In April, Noriega was extradited from the US, where he had spent two decades in prison for drug-trafficking.
In 1999, a French court sentenced him to 10 years in his absence, but a fresh trial was held after he was extradited.
The former general was accused of using French banks to conceal profits from the Colombian cocaine trade.
The judge also ordered the seizure of 2.3m euros (£1.9m) of his assets.
Defence lawyers said the charges were part of a global political plot against their client, and that the sentence was too harsh.
General Noriega's fall from grace
Q&A: Noriega extradition
The former ruler was "downhearted and surprised by this decision which he can hardly comprehend," said Yves Leberquier, for the defence.
The prosecution had alleged Noriega laundered the 2.3m euros from Colombia's Medellin drug cartel in the late 1980s through the now-defunct Bank of Credit and Commerce International.
The money was allegedly used by his wife, Felicidad, and a shell company to buy three luxury apartments in Paris.
The properties have since been seized by the French state.
Speaking in his own defence last week, Noriega dismissed the money-laundering charges as "an imaginary banking scheme".
Mr Leberquier said a lengthy prison term would equate to a life sentence for his client, who says he is 76 and who suffers from partial paralysis and high blood pressure.
Once an informer for the CIA, Noriega was arrested by US troops after their invasion of Panama in 1989.
During his trial, the former general said he had been set up by his former American paymasters.
The projects include $136,000 for a study of artificial intelligence weapons and how to keep them under "meaningful human control".
There is also a further $1.5m earmarked for an AI research centre.
Additional funding has come from the Open Philanthropy Project.
The centre would be run by Oxford and Cambridge universities in the UK.
"There are reasons to believe that unregulated and unconstrained development could incur significant dangers, both from "bad actors" like irresponsible governments and from the unprecedented capability of the technology itself," said Oxford University's Nick Bostrom.
"The centre will focus explicitly on the long-term impacts of AI, the strategic implications of powerful AI systems as they come to exceed human capabilities in most domains of interest, and the policy responses that could best be used to mitigate the potential risks of this technology."
The projects now set to receive grants from the Future of Life Institute (FLI) include studies on how ethics and human values can be incorporated into AI work.
The group said it had received nearly 300 funding applications from around the world.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Prof Stephen Hawking are among the high-profile figures warning about the potential dangers of AI, as robots become increasingly intelligent and less dependent on human control.
FLI president Max Tegmark pointed out that the organisation was not concerned by the nightmare scenarios posed by Hollywood films such as Terminator.
"The danger with the Terminator scenario isn't that it will happen, but that it distracts from the real issues posed by future AI", he said.
"We're staying focused, and the 37 teams supported by today's grants should help solve such real issues."
Elon Musk, who founded SpaceX and co-founded Tesla Motors and PayPal, donated to the IFL in January this year.
"Here are all these leading AI researchers saying that AI safety is important", he said.
"I agree with them, so I'm committing $10m to support research aimed at keeping AI beneficial for humanity."
Keith Smith, 30, and 25-year-old Peter McMurray tried to force their way into Ekundayo Badamas' flat in Leith last August.
A struggle broke out in which McMurray struck Mr Badamas with a large knife.
Smith fired a warning shot with a rifle - but he hit McMurray in the leg, the High Court in Edinburgh was told.
Mc Murray and Smith, who are cousins with 13 previous convictions between them, admitted trying to rob Mr Badamas at the flat in Cables Wynd at about 23:00 on 26 August.
Mr Badamas managed to force the robbers out of his home, despite being wounded by McMurray's knife which had an 11ins (280mm) blade.
Smith put the gun in a holdall but forgot to use the safety catch, and as the pair fled down a staircase the rifle went off again, leaving a bullet embedded in a fire door, the court was told.
Advocate Depute, Keith O'Mahony said CCTV footage showed Smith running into a pub, where he phoned for a taxi, saying he needed to go to Accident and Emergency.
Police, meanwhile, found McMurray lying on the pavement about 30 metres away, with a significant injury to his lower leg.
He told the officers he had been shot by someone in a white car.
McMurray, who appeared in court on crutches, was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where he has undergone several operations to remove bullet fragments and had pins inserted in his tibia.
When Smith was arrested by armed police officers a few days later he told them: "I knew you guys would be coming for me. I wasn't surprised to see the polis with guns."
Mr O'Mahony said the firearm was a German Walther .22 self-loading rifle which was found to require an unusually light amount of trigger pressure to discharge it.
He said 50-year-old Mr Badamas required 14 stitches to the left side of his forehead and will be left with permanent scarring.
Deferring sentence until 7 December, the judge Lord Beckett told the pair: "I consider this very grave criminality.
"You armed yourselves with a rifle and a very large knife and attempted to commit a robbery in the course of which the complainer was injured and will have permanent disfigurement."
Lawyers for Smith and McMurray said they would deliver their mitigation speeches at the sentencing hearing.
Speaking at the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report on Tuesday, he said he wants the government to accept responsibility.
The report found a school system for indigenous children separated families and tried to weaken their culture.
Over 3,000 children died while at the schools over the last century.
Six years in the making, the nearly 4,000-page report found they died at a higher rate than the general population and many were buried in unmarked graves.
Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper apologised to survivors in 2008, but some critics saw the apology as hollow.
Mr Trudeau said the final report builds on Mr Harper's apology and "sets us squarely on a path to true reconciliation".
"Our goal, as we move forward together, is clear: it is to lift this burden from your shoulders, from those of your families and communities," said Mr Trudeau, speaking to survivors of the schools in Ottawa. "It is to accept fully our responsibilities and our failings, as a government and as survivors."
Government-led policy amounted to cultural genocide, the report found.
The commission found the policy was enacted because the country "wished to divest itself of its legal and financial obligations to Aboriginal people and gain control over their land and resources."
From 1840 to 1996, more than 150,000 First Nations, Metis ands Inuit children were separated from their families and placed in the government-run schools, in an attempt to rid them of their "Indian" culture.
Many endured emotional, physical and sexual abuse, with the final report detailing cases of rape and malnutrition.
The schools were run by Christian churches. Many survivors are still recovering from having their families separated for decades.
Mr Trudeau has set up a government inquiry to investigate missing and murdered indigenous women.
He said last week the Canadian government must renew its relationship with indigenous peoples.
"It is my deepest hope that this report and its findings will help heal some of the pain...The Government of Canada sincerely apologises and asks forgiveness of the Aboriginal peoples of this country for failing them so profoundly," Mr Trudeau said.
"We have a plan to move towards a nation-to-nation relationship based on rights, respect, cooperation and partnership, and we are already making it happen."
He pledged that the government would enact all of the report's recommendations, beginning with the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The government will also work with indigenous leaders on a "national reconciliation framework", he said.
Cricket Australia (CA) has proposed to increase pay for men and women but end benefits from a revenue-sharing scheme.
The offer was rejected, and CA said it would not pay players after 30 June.
Vice-captain David Warner suggested the men's team might strike, but Lehmann said: "I'm sure that won't happen."
He added: "I have my views but I'm not going to share it. I'm talking to both players and CA.
"I think both parties have just got to get talking. They'll get a deal done and once that happens, everyone will be right and we'll move forward and get the game going the way it should be."
If the dispute is not resolved, there would be uncertainty over what team Australia could field after 30 June.
They have a two-Test series in Bangladesh scheduled for August, before a home Ashes series against England which runs from 23 November 2017 to 8 January 2018.
The Women's World Cup also takes place in England between 24 June and 23 July - and Australia's elite female players have shown solidarity with their male counterparts over the dispute, despite CA's March offer to double the elite women's pay.
Australia's men's team play their first warm-up game before the ICC Champions Trophy - held in England and Wales from 1-18 June - against Sri Lanka on 26 May.
"It is going to be a bit of a distraction, there's no doubt about that," Lehmann said.
"But just getting together and working it out is the way to go. There's no panic, it's just about the two parties getting together."
First there was the young boy, apparently abandoned by the Australian couple who had commissioned a Thai surrogate mother to carry him.
The boy had Down's syndrome, but the couple had taken his twin sister back to Australia with them.
Then there were the 12 babies found living in a single apartment with nannies, all fathered by the same, mysterious young Japanese man.
Many more babies had already been spirited out of Thailand.
Today the Australian boy - named Gammy - lives with the woman who was paid to give birth to him, seemingly a loved member of his adopted family.
"I don't regret anything about the surrogacy", Pattaramon Chanbua told me. "I don't blame anyone. To me, Gammy is a blessing."
To help her cope with the strikingly fair-skinned little boy, an Australian charity has bought her a bigger house, and gives her a modest monthly allowance. Gammy has also been given Australian citizenship.
Mitsutoki Shigeta, the mystery Japanese man, is still fighting to get custody of the 12 babies he sired through various Thai surrogates.
They are being kept in a state children's shelter. Last month a court awarded him custody of three, despite strong concern over his motives for wanting so many babies.
Now, five years after it was first drafted, the Thai parliament has passed a law which it hopes will shut down the "wombs-for-rent" business for good.
Foreigners are banned from seeking surrogates in Thailand. Thai couples can find surrogate parents, but not through agents, or on any kind of commercial basis.
At the heart of the business are hard-up Thai women, who see nine months carrying someone else's child as a relatively easy way to make good money.
Pattaramon was one, although she says she would never do it again.
Daeng, a factory worker living outside Bangkok, is another. A single mother in her thirties, she agreed to carry twins for Mr Shigeta.
When the time came to hand them over, she admitted it was hard.
"I carried them for nine months, and I loved them," she said. But she went through with the contract, and "would do it again - so would anybody - because of the money".
Daeng says she was paid the equivalent of 10 years' salary.
Other women have had unhappier surrogacy experiences.
Four years ago, 15 Vietnamese women were found in a Bangkok apartment, seven of them pregnant.
Some of them said they had been lured there with the promise of well-paid jobs; two said they had been raped.
A Taiwanese company called Babe-101 was accused by anti-trafficking groups of being behind the operation, but the police never pressed charges, and the doctor who supervised the conceptions and the births is still practising at a well-known Bangkok hospital.
Like much of Thailand's medical industry, the surrogacy business is profit-driven and poorly regulated.
For childless couples, desperate for a family, this has meant quick and low-cost surrogacies, without too much red tape. Most would probably want the best possible treatment for the carrier of their children. But it does not always work out that way.
At a women's shelter on the outskirts of Bangkok, I watched three figures, masked by balaclavas, nervously telling their story to journalists.
One of them was Namphun - not her real name. Her husband was with her. Until that week, he had believed the baby she was carrying was his.
But then, she said, he had been threatened by police officers, who insisted his wife had signed a contract to carry a baby for a Chinese man, and that she had to travel overseas for the birth.
They both fled to seek refuge in the shelter, along with another pregnant surrogate.
Namphun said she was terrified of the agent, who she said had also been putting pressure on her to leave Thailand before the expected crackdown on surrogates.
She had decided she no longer wanted to go through with the deal - she would keep the baby, no matter that she had no genetic connection to it. "If they stop chasing me, after the birth I will love it, and take care of it."
She showed me the contract. Surprisingly, the address of the company she was dealing with, IVF Sunrise, was in London. Its website shows an office in Bangkok, but when I visited last September, there was no sign of it, nor had anyone in the building heard of it.
IVF Sunrise is listed as a limited liability partnership, with a correspondence address in Percy Street, London, but its partners are entities based in Belize and the Seychelles.
A staff member responded to a BBC email by stating that the company now operates in Nepal, but has been out of Thailand since last September. The response did not address questions about how Namphun was treated.
The surrogate business in Thailand has often been a shadowy, unaccountable one. Now the practice has been more or less outlawed, there are justified fears that, with so much money on offer, it will simply be driven underground.
"We have no law enforcement", admits Dr Somsak Lolekha of the Thai Medical Council. "Just like drinking and driving. We have the law. But they never enforce it.
"That is a weak point of Thailand."
The victim was walking home after a night out when she was approached by the gang of five to six - of similar age - who ushered her into Gabalfa Park in the early hours of 17 October.
Police made an appeal on BBC1's Crimewatch programme on Thursday.
Officers will now follow up a number of the calls from members of the public.
After a reconstruction of the run-up to the attack was shown on the programme, Det Insp Lloyd Williams said: "I'm pleased with the calls which have come in from the local community.
"They've given us positive lines of inquiry which we will be actioning immediately."
He appealed for people to come forward including "the bystanders in the gang itself, anyone who has been confided in and the local community".
He said the members of the gang were described as males, two of whom were on bikes. All were wearing dark clothing apart from one who was wearing grey.
Anyone with information should call South Wales Police on 029 2052 7248.
British stars Carey Mulligan and Helena Bonham Carter were joined outside the building by hundreds of extras playing protesters in the forthcoming movie.
Scenes have also been shot in the central lobby and a committee room.
Permission for filming was granted after MPs agreed it was a good way to cover the cost of running Parliament.
With MPs away on their Easter break, ministerial cars were replaced by vintage vehicles and rioting women fighting for the vote.
The filming comes just over 100 years since a series of real demonstrations by members of the Suffragette movement in the Palace of Westminster.
The director of Suffragette, Sarah Gavron, said: "Our film is inspired by the true stories of the foot soldiers of the Suffragette movement, women who were willing to sacrifice everything in their fight for the right to vote.
"We are honoured to be allowed to recreate a crucial moment in that long journey towards equality by filming where the Suffragettes actually brought their protest over 100 years ago."
The film also features Meryl Streep as fearsome campaigner Emmeline Pankhurst.
But Oscar-winning Streep - who in 2011 attended Prime Minister's Questions in preparation for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady - has already filmed her scenes and was not expected to be on set.
Sir Alan Haselhurst MP, chair of the House of Commons administration committee, said: "As a British film which clearly relates to Parliament's history and heritage, this is an ideal pilot for the House of Commons to identify the opportunities for location filming and income generation.
"We hope the film will engage the public with Parliament's history and heritage, and will offer a new way to bring our iconic buildings to a wider audience."
Adrian Wootton, chief executive of Film London and the British Film Commission, said: "Opening up such an iconic location as the House of Commons for filming is fantastic news.
"This unique location promises to attract more production to the capital, and by working with the industry and our partners, we will help ensure it can get the most out of filming, while protecting the integrity of this very special building.
"And I look forward to seeing it on screen in the star-studded Suffragette, which will be a fantastic showcase of British talent, behind and in front of the camera, and this very special new location."
Suffragette is a fictional story, set against the background of the struggle for women's rights.
Emmeline Pankhurst was imprisoned for the first time in February 1908 when she attempted to enter the House of Commons.
Later that year, she was jailed again after being found guilty of inciting a rush on the House of Commons.
James Harris Jackson, 28, earlier admitted stabbing Timothy Caughman, 66, with a sword in Manhattan on 20 March.
He is already charged with the murder as a hate crime.
He is said to have admitted he had harboured feelings of hatred towards black men for years and last week's attack was a "practice run".
On Monday, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a statement that Mr Jackson "prowled the streets of New York for three days in search of a black person to assassinate in order to launch a campaign of terrorism against our Manhattan community and the values we celebrate".
"Last week, with total presence of mind, he acted on his plan, randomly selecting a beloved New Yorker solely on the basis of his skin colour, and stabbing him repeatedly and publicly on a Midtown street corner."
Mr Jackson earlier told police he had travelled by bus to New York City from his home city of Baltimore.
When he came across Mr Caughman he allegedly stabbed him in the chest and back with a sword.
Mr Caughman was pronounced dead in hospital.
The suspect later walked into a Times Square police station and was arrested.
James Harris Jackson served in the US Army from March 2009 to August 2012 and worked as a military intelligence analyst, the army said. He was deployed in Afghanistan from 2010-11.
Mr Caughman's friends have described him as a kind man and a good neighbour.
Portia Clark told AP news agency: "Tim Caughman did not deserve to die like that... Nobody does. I mean, come on, we're black, white, yellow, brown - that's ridiculous. We're trying to get along."

The Roses recovered from going seven goals behind to lead the world number one side in the third quarter.
With 10 seconds to go, England needed only one goal to take the game to extra time, but Diamonds captain Sharni Layton produced a match-winning interception at the death.
Australia finish the series with three wins from three matches.
England won their opener against South Africa in extra time, before being comprehensively beaten by New Zealand in Liverpool.
But coach Tracey Neville was pleased with the turnaround in their performance against the world and Commonwealth champions.
"I'm so proud of them. I said to them they had to back each other on court," Neville told BBC Two.
"There were some of the critical moments where we could have got ahead but we have to look at positives.
"They fought from the start to the end. We made them make changes and you have to challenge the coaches as well as the players."
England defender Geva Mentor, who was named player of the match, added: "We turned it around from the lousy performance in the week.
"The Wembley crowd got us over the line. I'm so proud of the team."
In the final game of the series New Zealand beat South Africa 70-39 to leave the Proteas winless with three defeats.
The company, which was owned by Rutland Partners, was sold to food tycoon Ranjit Boparan in September.
About 900 suppliers will be left out of pocket by £23m, BBC Radio 4's Farming Today was told.
Mr Boparan said he offered to buy the firm with its debt and pension liabilities but this was rejected.
The turkey firm was bought by investment company Rutland Partners in 2013.
The take-over by the Boparan Private Office, Mr Boparan's private investment arm, was done under a deal struck prior to administration - to protect the value of the company.
As the purchase deal was settled before Bernard Matthews went into administration, a meeting of creditors was not required.
The deal to save the firm and 2,000 jobs compensates Rutland Partners, but it means the new owner is not liable for its debts or pensions.
A lower level of staff pensions will be paid through a government protection scheme, but there is not the same protection for suppliers which are owed money.
Creditors have now received a letter from the administrator to say they will not get paid or receive compensation.
Deloitte said it was a "typical insolvency where there was not enough money to pay everyone back".
Clarke Willis of Anglia Farmers, which is owed about £10,000, said it provided satellite broadband monitoring of turkey sheds and this had been turned off.
He said non-payment of larger amounts was putting the viability of many other businesses - including those supplying agricultural goods, animal stock, transport and energy - at risk.
"There is no funding mechanism for all of those creditors into the business," he said.
"The letter is fairly stark, and basically says there will be no dividend pay-out whatsoever and therefore in those circumstances they do not have to call a meeting of creditors."
In a statement, Rutland Partners said it had "invested significant funds into the Bernard Matthews business over the last three years".
Andrew Donaldson, 34, denies assault by penetration on board the Plymouth-based frigate HMS Northumberland in August 2013.
The court martial heard the victim had been drinking heavily while the ship was docked at Bournemouth.
The trial at Portsmouth Naval Base continues.
Logistician Donaldson also denies a charge of disgraceful conduct of an indecent kind.
The victim had drunk six cans of cider in an hour and Nadim Bashir, prosecuting, said he had fallen asleep at an event in the petty officer's mess.
Colleagues took photographs sticking their tongues out next to the unconscious victim's bare bottom.
Mr Bashir said: "Matters were to escalate rapidly. Donaldson took hold of a beer bottle and made a statement for those viewing the video of his intentions."
The victim, who said in a statement he was very drunk and had been sick "several times", recoiled and woke up during the assault, the hearing was told.
Senior officers judging the case were shown video footage.
The trial was told that Donaldson does not deny carrying out the action, although he cannot remember it and denies that it was of a sexual nature.
Leading Seaman Christopher Cook, 31, denies a separate charge disgraceful conduct of an indecent kind.
Leading Logistician Roger Spratt, 28, who recorded footage on Logistician Donaldson's mobile phone, has already been dealt with by the court.
The scarecrow, which was part of an annual festive trail, was taken from Scargill Primary School, West Hallam, Derbyshire at the weekend.
The head teacher appealed for the coat to be returned as it was needed for a school production on Wednesday.
The school tweeted the coat had been "unceremoniously chucked over [the] fence", but without the scarecrow.
"We would like to thank everyone who offered alternative Joseph coats," the tweet read.
"Who would have thought there were so many multi coloured coats!"
More on this and other stories across the East Midlands
In response, people tweeted it was the "best news of the week" and "I'm very glad someone had a conscience".
A staff member also offered to wash or repair the coat if need be before the play.
The coat was returned after a Facebook appeal was made by the school.
Head teacher Andrew Poole said the theft of the scarecrow and coat was "heart-breaking for everyone" because "lots of hard work and time" by the children and staff went into it.
Several other scarecrows were damaged or stolen from the trail, which is in its ninth year.
The conger eel, which is about 7ft (2.1m) long, was accidentally caught in the nets of the trawler Hope.
As it was dead when it was hauled in, the fishermen brought the creature back to Plymouth where it sold for £40.
Plymouth Fisheries said it was 131lb (59kg), just under the UK line-caught record of 133lb 4oz (60kg).
Manager Pete Bromley, manager of Plymouth fisheries, said: "It just happens to be a very unlucky big fish."
The eel was brought in to the fish market on Wednesday where it was caught on camera appearing to be about 20ft (6m) long and dwarfing the fishermen behind it.
But Mr Bromley said the photos were deceptive and the fish was actually about 7ft (2.1m) long.
"It was certainly very large and very unusual for our market," he said.
"Conger normally live in deep water wrecks, so it is unusual to catch them on open ground.
"There's not a great deal of commercial value in them. Due to the economic downturn prices of conger have dropped.
"But it is a very impressive fish and would have made any anglers' day."
Fisherman Scott Govier was unable for comment.

Kevin McClory, who came up with the story for Thunderball with Ian Fleming, had been locked in a battle over Bond rights since 1959.
McClory, and later his estate, asserted he had created the Blofeld character.
Now film studio MGM and Bond film company Danjaq have acquired all the rights from McClory's estate.
A joint statement from the three parties involved said the deal brought "to an amicable conclusion the legal and business disputes that have arisen periodically over 50 years".
The agreement means that Bond producers are clear to use the Blofeld character again if they wish.
Blofeld's face was often concealed in the films as the camera focused on him stroking his white cat.
The character has appeared in six official Bond films - From Russia with Love (1963), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), Diamonds Are Forever (1971) and For Your Eyes Only (1981), as well as McClory's Never Say Never Again (1983).
He has been played by Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas, Charles Gray and Max von Sydow.
The dispute began when McClory worked on the script for Thunderball, which first introduced the character of Blofeld.
It was then used by Fleming to form the basis for his novel of the same name.
But McClory and another scriptwriter, Jack Whittingham, were unaware the novel was being published and were not credited.
This led them to sue Fleming successfully in 1963.
McClory, who died in 2006, produced the movie of Thunderball in 1965.
But the dispute raised its head again in the 1970s, when McClory wanted to make another Bond film - he won the right to do so in court and the result was his 1983 movie Never Say Never Again.
He brought back Sean Connery as agent 007 after a 12-year hiatus, and the film was again based on the Thunderball novel.
However the movie has never been welcomed into the official Bond canon.
McClory lost another legal case in 2001 over the rights to the James Bond film character.
A federal appeals court in San Francisco dismissed his case, saying McClory had waited too long to make a claim.
The next Bond film, starring Daniel Craig and directed by Sam Mendes, is due for release in 2015.
The Lamborghini Aventador, Mercedes G63 6x6 and Bentley Flying Spur, were parked with a gold Rolls Royce in Cadogan Place near the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel.
There are two separate £80 penalty charge notices on the Lamborghini, and one each on the Mercedes and Bentley.
The cars appear to be in pay-and-display bays and risk being towed away.
The cars are believed to be Saudi Arabian-owned.
The fines will be reduced to £40 each if paid within 14 days. A nearby NCP car park charges £50 for 24 hours.
Timothy Coleridge, councillor for the ward in Kensington and Chelsea said he would raise the issue with the borough's parking department.
"It's very rare that anyone would leave their car in a pay-and-display bay and leave it for more than a day as they risk the chance of it being towed away.
"No one has done this before. Normally they rent a garage rather than park them in the street.
"We would not differentiate between somebody with a gold Rolls or a beaten-up Renault 5."
Every summer exclusive cars belonging to the super rich descend on London's streets and many attract parking fines.
Last year in November, Kensington and Chelsea council put a ban on motorists from revving engines, sudden acceleration and racing on the streets of Knightsbridge following complaints from residents.
Many people gathered to take a look at the supercars, among them was Charlotte Eaton, from London.
She said: "They are incredible, they're amazing - I mean they're disgusting, you wouldn't want one.
"It's ridiculous, but I suppose when you've got that sort of money, you don't give a damn."
The blast took place on a busy road and hit a passenger bus, media reports say.
The bomber detonated the explosives after passing a police vehicle.
Such attacks have soared in Pakistan ahead of elections on 11 May, with dozens killed in attacks targeting politicians and political parties.
On Sunday, bomb attacks by the Taliban on the campaign offices of election candidates left at least eight people dead and 23 injured.
The Taliban have vowed to continue a campaign of attacks against political parties they see as secular.
Reports say that a bomb has also exploded near the home of an ANP candidate in the city of Mardan, damaging the wall of his compound.
No group has said it carried out this latest attack in Peshawar.
Television footage showed the damaged bus and motorcycle wreckage. The wounded were taken to hospitals in the city.
Correspondents say violence has marred the campaign for Pakistan's landmark election, in which one civilian government is due to be succeeded by another for the first time in the country's history.
Sexist comments and insults have become too common for people trying to serve their community, Unison Wales said.
Labour's Aberconwy parliamentary candidate Emily Owen said she had been trolled by men asking her bra size and telling her to strip for votes.
Parliament has set up a team to support those being targeted.
Political parties say they also try to support candidates who report problems - but some politicians say more needs to be done.
Ms Owen said she was shocked at the trolling on Facebook and Twitter she had been subjected to since standing for election to become an MP.
It comes six months after Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood revealed some abuse directed at her on Twitter was "vile" - with one man jailed for tweeting her and making reference to rape and another given a community sentence for saying someone should shoot her.
Unison Wales - the public services union with predominantly female members - said Ms Owen and Ms Wood were not alone in receiving abuse online and it had become such a concern that it was now holding training for its members on how to deal with it.
"It's becoming a massive issue - it's sexism, bullying, people being judged on their appearance... and people shouldn't have to put up with it just because they are in a prominent position," said Jenny Griffin, who runs Unison's cyber bullying course.
"It's definitely putting women off standing for these roles, particularly women with kids, as they don't want to put their family through it as the people around you often get targeted too."
Chris Bryant, the former Labour MP and now parliamentary candidate for Rhondda, said he also believed gay men and people from ethnic minorities got the brunt of abuse.
"It's undoubtedly got worse in the last two to three years," he said.
"I get it daily - lots of swear words, homophobic comments and downright lies. People write anonymously on social media things they wouldn't dream of writing in a letter or saying to your face.
"I'm absolutely certain it puts a lot of women off, particularly those with children. I know lots of people who have thought about going into politics and have decided they simply don't want to put themselves up for it - you get this endless barrage."
Liz Saville Roberts, Plaid Cymru's parliamentary candidate for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, introduced a bill to tackle online abuse and cyber crime while working as an MP.
"I have been speaking to female politicians across all party lines and this is an issue, although I'd say it seems to affect younger women more," she said.
"I believe social media platforms should be doing more to tackle this. They have a responsibility and I feel they are lacking in answerability."
But Prof Matthew Williams, from Cardiff University's criminology department said he believed the benefits of social media outweighed the negatives.
"I don't necessarily think problems with social media would put younger people off a career in politics and in many ways it's an advantage for spreading their message," he said.
"But you need to be savvy to avoid the dangers and victimisation. If anybody is receiving a torrent of abuse, the first thing they should do is call the police.
"If police don't take action, softer measures can also be used, like blocking people. You can also ask Twitter and Facebook to remove comments."
Prof Williams said his team had been studying trigger points for abuse on social media and political events often prompted people to express extreme views.
"We see spikes, if you look at the data. Events like the general election will see a huge spike in online hate," he added.
"We also saw it after the EU referendum, when emotions run high and extreme views are galvanised in certain groups in society."
It is an issue that the political parties say they are taking seriously.
A Conservative spokesman said: "When online abuse is bought to our attention, we support candidates and MPs in dealing with it.
"In serious instances of online abuse we would always recommend reporting it to the police."
The Liberal Democrats and UKIP have also been asked to comment.
Dr Gwynne Jones will take up the post following the retirement of current boss Richard Parry Jones in May.
Dr Jones, a father-of-three, has been the authority's director of lifelong learning for the past three years.
Council leader Ieuan Williams said Mr Jones has already shown "vision and commitment" to modernise education services at Anglesey.
"I now expect to see him demonstrate these abilities in his new role as our chief executive," he said.
Vereniki Goneva's late try won it for Newcastle, who move into seventh place.
Joel Hodgson crossed early for Falcons and traded penalties with Stephen Myler before Brookes was sent off for clearing a ruck with his shoulder.
Christian Day's try put Saints ahead, but a Will Witty score kept Falcons in it before Goneva struck.
Newcastle went into the game with just one away win all season, but started superbly as Hodgson passed out to Goneva on the right wing and the big Fijian returned it to the former Saints fly-half, who went over.
Goneva thought he had set up a second try for Marcus Watson soon after, but Juan Pablo Socino was adjudged to have impeded Luther Burrell in the build-up.
With the score 8-3, the game looked to have turned on its head when Brookes was red-carded in the 38th minute as he crashed into the head of David Wilson with his shoulder.
But to Northampton's credit they were the better team after the break as Day was forced over from a line-out, but Witty's close-range effort saw Newcastle take a two-point lead.
Myler's third penalty put Saints one point up with 10 minutes left, but Goneva intercepted Tom Kessell's pass deep in his own half and ran the length of the field before side-stepping Ben Foden to score his first try for Newcastle to win the game.
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder:
"I've looked at it a few times and what happened was that someone put their head into the ruck, they came in and caused that first offence, Kieran Brookes took exception to that and their players took exception to Kieran Brookes.
"What you can't do is retaliate. You can't strike anybody near the head and the referee had no option.
"If you're behind in the game or ahead in the game, you don't want anyone getting sent off - it puts your team under a lot of pressure.
"But I think the 14 men responded really, really well in that second half and we should have come away with the win."
Newcastle director of rugby Dean Richards:
"What a great win. And to be honest there were a couple of tries that went begging as well. It was an unbelievable start, and we had a try scratched off when it shouldn't have been.
"I haven't looked at the sending off too closely, but if he has made contact with the head it is disappointing from Kieran's point of view.
"In the second half we turned over a few balls, but we fought our way back and got the win that we wanted.
"Niki is a quality player, to step aside Foden at the end for the try was sheer class."

The PMS went into administration in November 2008.
The department bailed out the insolvent society with £225m of loans in 2010.
Annual instalments are due to repay £175m over 10 years with the £50m balance being paid when the society is wound up.
The reduced annual payments for the last two years mean that is possible a bigger lump sum will have to be found at the winding up stage.
The most recent PMS accounts, for the year ended March 2014, state that in 2013 just under £9.7m was repaid. That consisted of £6.5m capital with the remainder in interest.
The accounts state that this was "50% less than the original capital repayment schedule agreed by DETI".
The PMS is largely repaying the loans from the rental income earned on its investment properties.
The society was forced into administration in 2008 after a run on withdrawals when members realised it was not covered by new government deposit guarantees.
Nearly 10,000 Presbyterians lost access to their savings.
The bailout allowed for smaller savers, who invested less than £20,000, to get all of their money back in 2011.
Larger investors got 85% with the remaining 15% dependent on the disposal of PMS properties and other assets.
A DETI spokeswoman said: "When the £175m loan was provided to the Presbyterian Mutual Society in 2011, the forecast repayment schedule was dependent upon a number of assumptions and variables, including market conditions and the future prospects for the recovery of the property market.
"The joint supervisors for the PMS sought the agreement of the department to reschedule 50% of the capital repayments forecast for 2013/14 and 2014/15 as noted in the PMS accounts for 2013/14.
"Having reviewed the position, the department accepted the request. This does not alter the requirement on the society for the full repayment of the loan."
In a statement, the joint supervisors of the PMS said: "The original schedule of repayments was based on an assessment of future cash flow which was made at the time the scheme was drawn up.
"The deferral is due to changes to the assumptions used at the start of the scheme including variations in market conditions, timing of events and the recovery of the property market.
"It is still the intention of the joint supervisors to repay the loan over the period of the scheme."
Its shares rose 12% despite the company reporting its seventh consecutive quarter of falling underlying sales.
Life-for-like sales, which exclude the effect of new store space, fell 1.1% excluding sales of fuel. Total sales excluding fuel were up 0.3%.
Sainsbury's said it was making good progress despite "food inflation impacting many categories".
The supermarket group said it now expected full-year underlying profits to be "moderately ahead" of analysts' expectations of £548m. However, that is still well below last year's figure of £681m.
"Both volume and transactions grew as the decline in average basket spend in supermarkets continued to stabilise," said chief executive Mike Coupe.
"Whilst the market is clearly still challenging, with food deflation impacting many categories, we are making good progress on delivering our strategy."
Part of the strategy involves having fewer special offers and instead having lower regular prices.
The retailer cited particular progress on improving the taste and texture of its juice ranges and the ripeness and quality of its avocados.
Sainsbury's recently announced a 4% pay rise for its staff, which came into effect on 30 August.
Sainsbury's chief executive Mike Coupe might not exactly be cracking open the champagne this morning (even if it is on £14 special offer at his supermarket).
But the fact he has been bold enough to suggest that profits might be slightly ahead of expectations in this morning's interim results is significant - it's unusual for Sainsbury's to say anything about profits in a trading update.
The main reason is that although like-for-like sales (a measure of cash going through the tills) are still down, the decline is slowing and the actual volume of food being bought by each customer is up.
And fewer promotions mean there are fewer "demand surges" for products, making supply chain management (the boring but vital part of the business) more efficient and cheaper.
Half year results are in six weeks. Profits are likely to be down. But probably not by as much as initially feared.
In common with the rest of the big supermarket chains, Sainsbury's has been struggling with competition from the discount retailers such as Aldi and Lidl.
Analysts at Bernstein Research suggested that the big rise in the shares was due to the more upbeat tone in the statement.
"The results represent a change of tone for Sainsbury's," they said.
"It has tried to take a cautious message up to now, that it will go 'toe to toe' with whatever price investment anyone else makes."
"That it is talking up guidance is now showing they are more confident in their strategic position."
Sainsbury's also announced it had opened 27 convenience stores during the quarter and that clothing sales had been up nearly 13%.
During a three-hour meeting with Dr Fiona Wilcox, survivors asked for information about the missing, but were told the "recovery phase" could last until the end of the year.
Police also faced questions as to why there had not as yet been any arrests.
It comes after officials said all survivors who want to be rehoused had been offered temporary accommodation.
The fire on 14 June killed at least 80 people, although police say the final toll will not be known for many months.
The meeting was held at the Olympia conference centre in West Kensington on Tuesday evening.
Lotifa Begum, from the Grenfell Muslim Response Unit (GMRU), told the Press Association some of those in attendance were "very upset and angry", while several became overwhelmed and had to leave.
Ms Begum said many families "would have appreciated a lot more time and notice" before the meeting was held.
Nabil Choucair fears he has lost six members of his family who lived on the 22nd floor of Grenfell Tower.
Three adults - Nadia, Sirria and Bassam - are believed to have been in the flat, as well as children Zainab, Fatima and Mierna, aged three, 10 and 13.
He told the BBC: "We personally asked where is our family? We want to know are our family's bodies still there and is there anything from them?
"Whatever it is we want to know exactly what it is, do not hide anything. But the answers that were coming back were 'we don't know, we don't know, we don't know'."
It has been reported that people were told before the meeting they would not be allowed to directly question Dr Wilcox or Met Police Commander Stuart Cundy. They were also told to email their questions in by 11:00 BST on Monday.
Meanwhile, the Grenfell Response Team says 139 formal offers of housing have now been made to survivors, after Prime Minister Theresa May promised housing would be offered to those in need by Wednesday.
However, only 14 offers have been accepted and many are still in hotels.
A spokesman for North Kensington Law Centre - which represents more than 100 Grenfell victims - said many of the offers had been unsuitable.
Sid-Ali Atmani said the accommodation his family had been offered was too far away from his daughter's school and not big enough.
"They need to deal with us as victims in an appropriate way and with dignity," he told BBC Breakfast. "We become numbers and we don't have names. This is so frustrating… in three weeks they haven't found any solution."
Antonio, who lived on the 10th floor of Grenfell Tower, has turned down two offers of accommodation, saying they do not meet his needs.
"I had a very comfortable and nice flat on the 10th floor," he told the BBC. "I had a very comfortable life, I had a very comfortable home.
"Now the feeling is that they are trying to put us into places just to say 'we have complied with what we said we were going to do'."
Eleanor Kelly, chief executive of Southwark Council and spokeswoman for the Grenfell Response Team, told BBC Breakfast there was an "enormous emotional impact" on the families, so it would take time for permanent moves to take place.
"It is going to take people a long time to really work through where they want to go," she said. "That's why many of the families are choosing to stay in the emergency hotel accommodation for the moment and then make a permanent move.
"We have to understand that and we have to deal with each individual family and their circumstances as appropriately and as sensitively as we can."
Robert Atkinson, leader of the Labour Party at Kensington and Chelsea Council, said decisions about accommodation should be taken by survivors when they are ready - and not just to meet government deadlines.
"It's very important that the survivors are allowed to make their decisions in their own good time and I'm somewhat annoyed at the focus on getting this target met so that the prime minister can say that she has fulfilled her promise," he said.
"I want these arrangements to be made in the timescale and at the pace at which the victims and survivors wish to make these decisions."
In other developments:
It comes amid growing pressure for Sir Martin Moore-Bick - the judge leading the inquiry into the fire - to stand down.
Labour's Emma Dent Coad, MP for Kensington, has described him as "a technocrat" who lacked "credibility" with victims.
On Monday, lawyers representing some of the families also called for him to quit.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn stopped short of demanding his resignation, but said he should "listen to residents", while Mayor of London Sadiq Khan warned he must urgently improve relations with the area.
But one senior minister, Lord Chancellor David Lidington, said he had "complete confidence" in Sir Martin, whom he believed would lead the inquiry "with impartiality and a determination to get to the truth and see justice done".

The 13th seed led Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova 6-2 5-6 at Flushing Meadows when she crouched down to her knees and began hyperventilating.
Medical help arrived after several minutes and Konta, 25, took a lengthy break before winning 6-2 5-7 6-2.
"My heart rate spiked and I couldn't really control my breathing," she said.
"It was basically very embarrassing. I started hyperventilating. I started shaking. That's why I went down on the ground, because I was quite violently shaking."
Konta followed compatriot Kyle Edmund on to court 13 after the Yorkshireman had reached round three by beating American wildcard Ernesto Escobedo.
Konta is seeded at a career-high 13th and looked every inch the world-class player until the contest took a dramatic twist late in the second set.
After an hour and a half in hot and humid conditions - and with Pironkova an increasing threat - Konta was facing set point when she bent over at the back of the court and then rolled on to her back.
After lying on a towel and using ice bags brought over by the umpire, Konta waited for the doctor before making it back to her chair and telling the physio: "It felt like my whole body was going into shock."
She took a medical timeout before returning for long enough to send a second serve long and drop the set, prompting a lengthy visit to the locker room.
It appeared questionable whether she would return at all, but Konta returned and took control with an early break and took the final set in 50 minutes.
"We push our bodies to the limits that they can go," added Konta. "I definitely hit one of my limits. That was the way my body reacted.
"I was feeling a little bit the conditions and also my own energy levels. I was just managing the best that I could with what I had today."
She will play Swiss 24th seed Belinda Bencic in the third round on Friday.
Pironkova, 28, was sympathetic towards Konta but felt her rhythm was unduly disrupted when the Briton took a second timeout to go to the bathroom.
"I wish I could say all players use bathroom breaks accordingly to go to the toilet," said the Bulgarian, ranked 71st.
"Some players use them to refocus. I don't think they should be used that way."
She added: "With that toilet break, I think the match was stopped for just too long. I had my momentum going, I was getting back in the match."
Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent: "Konta was in some distress as - with no warning - she fell to the court, struggling for breath.
"When the match resumed, Pironkova completely lost her rhythm. The Bulgarian deserves sympathy for the length of time she had to wait, but there is no denying Konta played a magnificently canny final set. She used less pace, but great placement. Her shot selection was remarkable."
Miles Maclagan, British tennis coach: "We can't really over-exaggerate the scenes we saw, on her hands and knees, heart racing and struggling for breath. An amazing effort from Jo Konta.
"Maybe we shouldn't be surprised. She's got herself to the edge of the top 10 and you don't do that without a little bit of steel in your spine."
Speaking out in favour of Britain leaving the EU, they said that Nato, and not the EU, should remain the cornerstone of Europe's defence.
Among the group is General Sir Michael Rose, whose name was originally on a letter organised by Downing Street supporting UK membership of the EU.
The Remain campaign says membership of the EU and Nato is not contradictory.
Meanwhile 300 historians - including Simon Schama, Ian Kershaw and Niall Ferguson - have signed a letter saying the UK has had an "irreplaceable role to play in Europe" in the past and must not "cast itself adrift" in the future.
In other developments in the EU referendum campaign:
There has already been a series of letters from UK, US and Nato commanders urging Britain to remain in the EU - or risk losing influence.
Now Veterans for Britain, a campaign group set up by serving and former military personnel, is making the case for Britain to leave.
This issue covers defence and the extent of Britain's influence in the world
The former senior military commanders - including Falklands veteran Major General Julian Thompson, former deputy chief of the defence staff Sir Jeremy Blackham and Lieutenant General Jonathon Riley, who commanded coalition forces in Afghanistan - have said the UK's national interest would be best served outside the EU.
General Sir Michael Rose, a former director of special forces and a commander in Bosnia, has expressed concerns that the EU is trying to set up its own army that could undermine the Nato alliance.
Downing Street admitted it had made a mistake earlier this year when it released a letter claiming he was among former military top brass who wanted Britain - which has the fifth largest defence budget in the world - to remain in the EU.
General Rose said sovereignty and defence were indivisible and that EU policy had already seriously undermined Britain's combat effectiveness.
"I believe that the UK's contribution to European defence can manifestly be better made solely through Nato than by trying to spread our limited resources too thinly, in order to include European defence and security policy initiatives into the UK's defence programme," he said.
"It is something of an insult to our European partners, in particular France and Germany, to imply that UK membership of the European Union is necessary to secure future peace in Europe."
In response, campaign group Britain Stronger in Europe said there was an "overwhelming consensus" among military chiefs, including four former chiefs of the defence staff, that Britain was "stronger and safer" in the EU.
And Labour MP Dan Jarvis, a former paratrooper who served in Iraq, has warned EU exit would be a "gift" to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, former Labour frontbencher Tristram Hunt has called on Jeremy Corbyn to "redouble his efforts" in the campaign for Britain to remain in the EU, saying the opposition leader "should be out there every day as we go up towards the poll".
A BBC correspondent who visited the northern town of Saraqeb was told by eyewitnesses that government helicopters had dropped at least two devices containing poisonous gas.
The government has vehemently denied claims it has used chemical agents.
The US had warned that such a development would be a "red line" for possible intervention.
President Barack Obama said the US had seen evidence of chemical weapons being used in Syria - but it was important to get more specific information about what happened.
In a meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Washington, he said all options, both diplomatic and military, were being considered.
The two leaders reaffirmed their support for Syria's opposition and their demands for President Bashar al-Assad to stand down.
"There's no magic formula for dealing with an extraordinarily violent and difficult situation like Syria's," Mr Obama said.
"If there was, I think the prime minister and I would already have acted upon it and it would already be finished."
Meanwhile UK Foreign Secretary William Hague reiterated that Syria must allow access to a UN team to investigate the chemical weapons claims.
By Ian PannellBBC News
Is Syria using chemical weapons?
On 29 April, Saraqeb, a town south-west of Aleppo, came under artillery bombardment from government positions.
Doctors at the local hospital told the BBC's Ian Pannell they had admitted eight people suffering from breathing problems. Some were vomiting and others had constricted pupils, they said. One woman, Maryam Khatib, later died.
A number of videos passed to the BBC appear to support these claims, but it is impossible to independently verify them. Tests are being carried out in France, the UK and Turkey on samples from the site of the attack.
Mrs Khatib's son Mohammed had rushed to the scene to help his mother and was also injured in the attack.
"It was a horrible, suffocating smell. You couldn't breathe at all. You'd feel like you were dead. You couldn't even see. I couldn't see anything for three or four days," Mr Khatib told the BBC.
A doctor who treated Mrs Khatib said her symptoms corresponded with organophosphate poisoning and that samples had been sent for testing.
One device was said to have landed on the outskirts of Saraqeb, with eyewitnesses describing a box-like container with a hollow concrete casing inside.
In another video, a rebel fighter holds a canister said to be hidden inside the devices. Witnesses claim there were two in each container.
Another video shows parts of a canister on the ground, surrounded by white powder.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former commanding officer at the UK's Joint Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Regiment, said the testimony and evidence from Saraqeb was "strong, albeit incomplete".
In Saraqeb and in three similar events in Syria in recent weeks, "people have got ill and died and their symptoms are what we would expect to see from a nerve type of agent, be it sarin or be it organophosphate," Mr de Bretton-Gordon said.
On the available evidence, recent attacks in al-Otaybeh to the east of Damascus, in Adra near the town of Douma, and in the Sheikh Maqsoud district of Aleppo appear "virtually identical" to what happened in Saraqeb, according to Mr de Bretton-Gordon.
Mr de Bretton-Gordon has not visited the site or tested any of the alleged evidence but was given full access to the material gathered by the BBC.
Both the US and UK have spoken of growing evidence that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons.
Techniques used by investigators include:
How to investigate chemical weapons allegations
Rebel fighters have also been accused of using them. They also have denied this.
In March, Syria's government and opposition called for an inquiry into an alleged chemical weapon attack in Khan al-Assal in the north of Syria which killed at least 27 people, with both sides blaming each other.
A 15-strong UN team headed by a Swedish scientist Ake Sellstrom has been assembled to investigate the claims.
However, the Syrian government has refused the team access. Syrian officials have been quoted as saying they want the team to look into the incident in Khan al-Assal, but the team has requested unconditional access with the right to inquire into all credible allegations.
The UN estimates that the two-year-old conflict has left at least 80,000 people dead.
It's a clever term that has a twin appeal - to law and order hardliners and the penal reform lobby.
It expresses the notion that release from jail is not automatic - the hardliners like that bit. At the same time, it suggests that earning release will involve prisoners bettering themselves by doing something constructive, which is what penal reformers want to see.
But however attractive Mr Gove's (far from fully-formed) idea may be, it's not new.
"Earned release" was first put forward in a Conservative Party policy paper in 2008, "Prisons with a Purpose", which includes several other proposals the new justice secretary is now considering, seven years on.
The principle of "earned release" was part of a section headed "Honesty in Sentencing". It claimed there was a "prevailing sense of injustice" when the public discovered that a criminal served a much shorter period in custody than the sentence handed down in court.
And, in spite of a number of changes to sentencing practice in the intervening years, it remains the case that almost all offenders spend less time behind bars than the sentence which is publicly read out.
Take the case of Gary Glitter, the former pop star whose real name is Paul Gadd.
In February, Glitter was sentenced for an attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one offence of having sex with a girl under the age of 13.
In determining the sentence, the trial judge, Alistair McCreath, had a complex process to follow in which he had to consider the more punitive regime which exists now, together with the shorter maximum jail terms available when the crimes were committed.
"The total sentence is, therefore, one of 16 years' imprisonment," the judge declared.
The headlines duly followed. "Gary Glitter jailed for 16 years," said BBC News, Sky News, the Guardian, the Telegraph and numerous others. The Daily Mail predicted that Glitter, who's 71, would die in prison.
But the headlines, which took their cue from the publicly declared sentence, weren't correct.
Glitter will be freed at the halfway point of his sentence, therefore spending eight years in prison, not 16.
Only if his behaviour in jail is so bad that he's given added days to his sentence as a disciplinary measure will he be detained beyond halfway.
Once let out, he'll be subject to supervision and will have to abide by certain conditions for eight years; he could be sent back to prison if he re-offends or breaches those conditions.
But the plain fact is that this was really an eight-year jail term, not one of 16 years.
The Conservatives' 2008 paper called for an end to automatic halfway-stage release and a new system of "min-max" sentences in England and Wales, with judges setting a minimum and maximum period to be spent in jail.
An offender's freedom would be conditional on them meeting requirements laid down by the judge, hence the "earned release" phrase.
The policy paper said there'd be another benefit as well: "It will lead to clearer sentencing."
Since then, new "extended sentences" have been introduced for some sexual and violent offenders who are assessed as posing a "significant risk to the public".
It's a variation on the "min-max" idea, with no automatic release at the halfway point.
But most prisoners do not qualify for extended sentences and, says Sir Edward Garnier, one of the two MPs who wrote the 2008 document, the need for clarity remains as pressing as it was then.
According to the former solicitor general, people feel "disappointed" when they learn that an offender has been released earlier than they expected.
"It misleads the public," says Sir Edward. "That's where the lack of honesty comes."
In some cases, prisoners serve even less than half their sentence. Those who receive terms of between three months and four years are eligible to be let out up to 135 days (about four months) before the halfway point as long as they wear an electronic tag and stay at home at specified times.
The scheme, Home Detention Curfew (HDC), which operates at the discretion of prison governors, isn't available for those convicted of certain violent and sexual offences.
But its widespread use since 1999 (more than 2,000 prisoners are currently on HDC) means the prison sentence served bears virtually no resemblance to that imposed in court.
There are similar arrangements in Scotland and a conditional early release scheme has just been announced in Northern Ireland.
Among the more notorious HDC cases were those of Chris Huhne, the former Liberal Democrat cabinet minister, and his ex-wife, the economist Vicky Pryce, both convicted over a speeding points scandal. The pair were released after two months in jail, having been sentenced to eight.
Frances Crook, director of the Howard League for Penal Reform, agrees that greater clarity in sentencing is required to restore confidence in the process.
But she's concerned that any move to a system whereby the sentence expressed in court becomes the sentence served, or a "min-max"' arrangement, would lead to longer spells in custody.
"We'd have sentence inflation," she argues, because judges wouldn't want to appear soft. With more time in custody, there'd be less opportunity for offenders to adjust to life in the community.
"It means people wouldn't get support on release," Ms Crook adds.
Although Mr Gove has yet to outline his thinking on sentencing there's no spare capacity in prisons to make a change that risks increasing sentence lengths and the prison population.
The Treasury is unlikely to stump up the money either for a department that is not shielded from budget cuts. So, could the media play a role in being clearer about sentences?
Whenever an offender is sent to prison, reports focus on the headline jail term, as the Glitter case illustrates.
When a murderer is given a "life sentence", we often write that they've been "jailed for life", knowing that's rarely the case.
Out of 12,200 offenders serving life or indeterminate sentences, only 57 people have been sentenced for their whole life.
The vast majority are usually released at, or sometime after, they've served a "minimum term", which is announced in court.
Minimum terms in murder cases are generally between 15 and 40 years.
Bob Satchwell, executive director of the Society of Editors, acknowledges that some coverage is misleading, but says it's unfair to blame the press.
"All the media are doing is reporting what the law says," he explains. The overall sentence, even if only part of it is spent in custody, is the judge's "comment on the seriousness of the offence".
Besides, says Mr Satchwell, sentencing is a complex business that can't be encapsulated in a headline. "I think most of the public do understand that people don't serve most of their sentence."
Perhaps he's right: We've learned over the years that sentence imposed does not equal sentence served.
But at a time when trust and confidence in the criminal justice system is increasingly being questioned, surely there's a responsibility on everyone to be as clear and honest as possible.
The 10th anniversary event will also mark 150 years since Welsh settlers arrived in Patagonia with a day of dedicated performances.
Headliners Grace Jones and Belle and Sebastian will be joined by Catfish and the Bottlemen and Badly Drawn Boy.
It is held in the Italianate village Portmeirion from 3-6 September.
Rhys will perform songs from Set Fire To The Stars, the soundtrack he composed for last year's biopic about Dylan Thomas, starring Elijah Wood.
Other Welsh acts announced include Y Pencadlys, Yws Gwynedd and Ifan Dafydd.
Stirling-based infrastructure and construction group Robertson said pre-tax profits climbed 81% to £21.4m in the year to March.
It also reported record turnover of £453m.
Robertson said there had been "continued and sustainable" growth across its 19 operating companies.
Construction and house building were among several businesses to perform particularly well.
It also expanded its offering in building services, civil engineering and rendering and roofing.
Robertson, which was founded in Elgin, currently employs nearly 2,000 people across the UK, having increased employee numbers by more than 600 in the past 18 months.
It expects its headcount to grow by a further 5% in the year ahead.
Group turnover in England has grown to a record level of £100m as part of the company's ongoing regional growth strategy.
Robertson said it had seen "major success" in the growth of its Partnership Homes business, which had now secured contracts to deliver over 2,500 homes over the next five years in Scotland.
Robertson Homes also reported growth in private housing development, increasing the number of units sold in the year by 65%.
It has started new developments in Dunbar, Strathaven and Mid Calder in Central Scotland and is currently operating on eight live sites.
Chairman Bill Robertson said: "We are delighted with the continued progress across all of our 19 operating companies.
"The group has now started delivering on its new five-year strategic plan with a strong focus on sustainability, innovation and productivity.
"The continued success of the group will be based on generating sustainable and appropriate margins for any work undertaken."
The boy was treated in hospital for a cut to his head after the clown threw a log at him on Lordens Hill, Dinnington, on Tuesday night.
South Yorkshire Police said it had received 61 reports of incidents involving clowns since 21 September.
Officers are also investigating two reports of clowns armed with knives.
In an interview, Owen Russell, 17, said he was walking home with friends, and bumped into the clown after taking a shortcut down an alleyway.
He said the clown started making sinister noises, before throwing a log at him, leaving him needing six stitches to a cut on his head.
Supt Colin McFarlane said: "There is a clear distinction to be drawn between young people who might be dressing up as we move into the Guy Fawkes and Halloween period, and those that are dressing as clowns in order to commit public order offences or harassment."
The attack comes after dozens of recent reports across the UK of pranksters dressing up as clowns to scare members of the public.
The craze began in the United States last month, with reports of incidents in the UK emerging soon after.
Other reports to South Yorkshire Police include people dressed as clowns knocking on windows and doors.
Elsewhere, a 13-year-old girl was threatened with rape and having her throat cut, by a so-called clown prankster, Cumbria Police said.
In London, a teenager was arrested after reports of a man dressed as a clown scaring people at a university campus.
Graciam Kondowe was among 54 passengers who police say survived after the boat overturned in stormy weather on Sunday.
Five people drowned while 11 are still missing, police said.
The boat was packed with worshippers returning from Easter celebrations when it capsized in the remote Rumphi district in northern Malawi.
Mr Kondowe told Malawi's privately owned Zodiac radio station that heavy winds buffeted the boat about 15 minutes into their journey.
The crew decided to return to shore, but the boat capsized before they could get back, he added.
Mr Kondowe said he held on to a bag of maize flour which fell out of the boat, and eventually swam his way to safety.
Eight of the 54 survivors are being treated in hospital after sustaining injuries, police officer Denis Banda said.
Locals residents used canoes to rescue most of the passengers, Malawian journalist Joab Chakhaza told the BBC.
Search operations are continuing for the 11 people still missing, but the chances of finding them alive are slim, he adds.
Boats are a common mode of transport on the vast Lake Malawi, and accidents of this magnitude are rare.
In 2012, 47 migrants fleeing drought and conflict in Somalia and Ethiopia drowned in the lake after their boat capsized.
The hosts led at half-time through Ross Batty's try.
Jack Wilson extended their advantage before Cardiff were reduced to 14 men when George Earle was sent off after making contact with an opponent's face.
Aled Brew scored his first try for Bath before Batty intercepted a pass for his second score and Elliott Stooke ran in a late fifth try.
Bath: Tom Homer, Jack Wilson, Jonathan Joseph, Ben Tapuai, Aled Brew, George Ford, Kahn Fotuali'; Nick Auterac, Ross Batty, Max Lahiff, Charlie Ewels, Dave Attwood, Tom Ellis, Francois Louw, Taulupe Faletau
Replacements: Michael van Vuuren, Beno Obano, Shaun Knight, Elliott Stooke, Zach Mercer, Darren Allinson, Adam Hastings, Max Clark
Cardiff Blues: Matthew Morgan; Cory Allen, Rey Lee-Lo, Willis Halaholo, Blaine Scully; Steven Shingler, Lloyd Williams; Rhys Gill, Kirby Myhill, Taufa'ao Filise, George Earle, James Down, Maceuley Cook, Sam Warburton (captain), Josh Navidi.

Midfielder Mitch Rose, the brother of Tottenham and England defender Danny, has also been let go by the Exiles.
Defenders Jazzi Barnum-Bobb and Ben Tozer have both triggered one year contract extensions, however.
Tozer has not played since January 7 after falling out with previous boss Graham Westley, but seems set to stay.
Newport have already released Liam Angel, Marcus Beauchamp, Paul Bignot, Jack Compton, Tom Meechan, Kieran Parselle, Finlay Wood following the end of the season after confirming Mike Flynn as their permanent manager.
Darren Jones, who has had three spells with the club, also announced his retirement after a campaign when the Exiles survived relegation on the final day despite being 11 points adrift with 12 games remaining.
Elsewhere, midfielder Tom Owen-Evans remains at the club after signing a new two-year contract.
Unite said 81% of those who took part in the consultative ballot turned down the offer. And 61% of GMB members participating did likewise.
The unions will now consult about the next step to be taken.
The Offshore Contractors Association said it was "extremely disappointed" and the priority was to find ways of avoiding industrial action.
Unite regional officer Tommy Campbell said: "We have repeatedly warned the OCA employers and other offshore employers that we cannot simply have a race to the bottom, with companies competing with each other to suppress the pay and conditions of offshore workers."
GMB National Officer Dave Hulse said: "This result comes as little surprise given the attacks our members have faced on their pay, terms and conditions in recent years. The offer the employers have made is just not up to scratch.
"Our members believe that over recent times they have been treated with contempt - enough is enough."
Paul Atkinson, chief executive of the OCA, said: "We are extremely disappointed that members of the trade unions who took part in the consultative ballot have rejected our pay offer.
"Our priority is to find ways of avoiding industrial action. We will continue to maintain an on-going dialogue with union officials in an attempt to bring this to a resolution."
In December, a previous offer was also rejected.
Stephen Paul Lynch, 34, from Shanlea Drive in the town, appeared at Antrim Magistrates Court accused of arson endangering life with intent.
A house on the Killyglen Road was badly damaged on Sunday when a car was set alight and left at the front door.
He also allegedly threatened to kill a man, and intimidated a woman and two children to leave the house.
On the day of the arson, 23 April, Mr Lynch is charged with wasting police time by making a false report of a crime.
The court heard police have CCTV footage of him crashing his own silver Peugeot into the house and then getting out of the vehicle, apparently unsteady on his feet, at about 16.40 BST on Sunday.
A police officer said the footage showed Mr Lynch setting light to a jacket and placing it in the footwell before flames engulfed the car.
He was also filmed kicking the window of the house and shouting at the property, the court heard.
There was no-one inside at the time.
The officer said Mr Lynch then phoned police and reported that his car had been stolen.
She added that the occupants of the house had reported several incidents over the past few weeks.
She said men wearing balaclavas were seen outside the house, and that Mr Lynch and another man had reportedly gone to the home, made "a gun sign" to the male occupant and told him: "You're dead."
The officer said that on 16 April, the male occupant woke up because his dogs were barking and found his car, and his wife's car on fire.
She said police objected to bail because of potential interference with witnesses and a likelihood of reoffending.
The officer added that his alleged actions showed Mr Lynch had no regard for his own safety, or that of others.
She said police believed Mr Lynch was involved in the UVF in Larne and was "actively involved" in an ongoing criminal feud there.
"There is a real fear lives will be lost," she added.
A lawyer for Mr Lynch put it to the officer that there was no evidence linking him to a spate of other arsons carried out in Larne in recent days.
She agreed that was the case.
The lawyer said Mr Lynch accepted the CCTV footage showed him carrying out the arson, but that he disputed making threats or carrying out intimidation.
He said the arson attack was the action of "a heavily intoxicated man", and that Mr Lynch realised he would most likely go to jail.
The lawyer told the court: "He is not directly involved in the ongoing dispute, he is on the periphery.
"He accepts that he was a man pushed to the edge and broken."
A judge said he had a responsibility to protect the public and denied bail.
The case was adjourned for two weeks.
The ruling by a London employment tribunal means drivers for the ride-hailing app will be entitled to holiday pay, paid rest breaks and the national minimum wage.
The GMB union described the decision as a "monumental victory" for some 40,000 drivers in England and Wales.
Uber said it would appeal against the ruling that it had acted unlawfully.
The San Francisco-based company had argued that its drivers were not employees but self-employed contractors.
The ruling accused Uber of "resorting in its documentation to fictions, twisted language and even brand new terminology", adding: "The notion that Uber in London is a mosaic of 30,000 small businesses linked by a common 'platform' is to our mind faintly ridiculous."
"This is a monumental victory that will have a hugely positive impact on drivers," said Maria Ludkin, legal director at the GMB, which brought the case.
Drivers and campaigners hail Uber ruling
What does Uber employment ruling mean?
The TUC said the case had exposed the "dark side" of the UK's labour market.
General secretary Frances O'Grady said: "For many workers the gig economy is a rigged economy, where bosses can get out of paying the minimum wage and providing basics like paid holidays and rest breaks.
"What is happening at Uber is just the tip of the iceberg. Lots of people are now trapped in insecure jobs, with low pay and no voice at work. We need the government to get tough on sham self-employment."
Jo Bertram, Uber's UK manager, said: "Tens of thousands of people in London drive with Uber precisely because they want to be self-employed and their own boss.
"The overwhelming majority of drivers who use the Uber app want to keep the freedom and flexibility of being able to drive when and where they want. While the decision of this preliminary hearing only affects two people, we will be appealing it."
Two drivers, James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam, argued that their actions were controlled by Uber, which meant they were employed by the firm - but that they did not have basic workers' rights.
Mr Farrar said his net earnings in August 2015 after expenses were £5.03 an hour. Mr Aslam no longer drives for Uber.
Nigel Mackay from law firm Leigh Day, which represented the two drivers, said: "This judgment acknowledges the central contribution that Uber's drivers have made to Uber's success by confirming that its drivers are not self-employed, but that they work for Uber as part of the company's business.
"This is a ground-breaking decision. It will impact not just on the thousands of Uber drivers working in this country, but on all workers in the so-called gig economy whose employers wrongly classify them as self-employed and deny them the rights to which they are entitled."
Martin Warren, partner and head of labour relations at Eversheds, said the ruling may not mean other cases brought by workers in the "on-demand economy" will have similar success.
"Each case will depend on the specific terms and arrangements between the individual and the company they work for. Nevertheless other firms who rely heavily on the 'on-demand' freelance workforce will be watching cases like this keenly," he said.
Alex Bearman, partner at Russell-Cooke solicitors, said Uber could look to meet any additional costs by increasing the percentage of each fare that it kept as commission: "It seems likely that this decision will be appealed and we may not see a final determination for some time to come."
Sahrab Shinwari from Hayes, west London, has driven for Uber for the past 18 months and welcomed the decision: "We used to do less hours and make more money. Business has gone down. We can't work on minimum wage - we can't maintain a car on that. Uber don't provide us with a car. Holiday and sick pay is perfect, but the minimum wage isn't."
Steven Rowe, however, is disappointed: "I don't see myself as being employed. I don't see myself as a worker for Uber. I see myself as being my own boss, making my own decisions ... It might be a success for two Uber drivers, but I think the vast majority of us will be really, really worried about whether Uber can run the really successful way they've operated in this country."
A Department for Business spokesperson said: "We are keen to ensure our employment rules keep up to date to reflect new ways of working and that's why the government has asked Matthew Taylor to conduct an independent review into modern working practices."
Shadow business minister Jack Dromey told the BBC: "Uber are going to have to fundamentally rethink how they operate in this country."
The 27-year-old Czech suffered damage to tendons and nerves in her left hand when she was stabbed by an intruder at her home in Prostejov in December.
She posted a photo of her playing in Monaco on social media.
"I hope this picture makes you as happy as it makes me," the world number 15 wrote.
"I'm back on the tennis court, hitting with some proper balls."
Kvitova was initially expected to be out for at least six months, but last month said she has a "chance" of making the French Open, starting on 28 May.
She announced she has submitted her entry for Roland Garros, but may not be ready to play.
Caramel, aged four months, was taken in a burglary in Harlow, Essex, on 3 June.
The sick puppy belongs to Lexie Taylor, 8, who has juvenile arthritis, a condition which improved since she began walking her pet.
Mother Tracy Taylor said: "The search reached 13m people on Facebook. A woman saw reports and realised she had bought Caramel. She was returned yesterday."
The chocolate-coloured Chihuahua-cross has a lump on her stomach caused by a hernia and also a suspected tumour. She was scheduled to visit the vet shortly after she was stolen.
Three days after the theft the family posted Caramel's story on Facebook in the hope she would be recognised and returned.
In a little over a week 14,000 people had "liked" the page.
A lost pets website has also posted the story, and almost 60,000 people saw that post, Mrs Taylor said. Messages of support came in from as far away as India and Canada.
The family had been particularly keen to have Caramel back because of the puppy's positive effect on their daughter's health.
"Ever since Caramel was born she and Lexie have been inseparable. It has really helped with Lexie's mobility because she has been walking Caramel so much," Mrs Taylor said.
Late on Monday afternoon Mrs Taylor's husband Richard received a call from a woman who said she had bought a Chihuahua puppy, and having seen the publicity, thought it might be the family's pet. The dog is now safely back home.
"We are just the happiest family in the world right now," Mrs Taylor said.
The firm plans to use gaming technology to help find 200 recruits for a business apprenticeship scheme.
It says if this is successful it will be applied to its graduate intake.
Deloitte says it wants to find staff "who may not necessarily stand out through a traditional recruitment process".
The game, Firefly Freedom, will be used to assess the "innovation, creativity and problem-solving" of applicants, who are likely to be aged 17 or 18.
Applicants will play for 20 to 30 minutes, with challenges in the game that are meant to show personality traits or a "candidate's natural preferences".
The game, made by a firm called Arctic Shores, provides "games based personality assessments".
This is the latest attempt by major employers to find new approaches to recruitment in a bid to get a more diverse workforce.
Employers have struggled with intakes, particularly at graduate level, where entry has been dominated by applicants from a narrow range of universities and backgrounds.
Deloitte, which recruits 1,500 graduates and school-leavers each year, has already announced plans to conceal the name of the university and school attended by applicants.
It said it wanted to remove "unconscious bias" about job-hunters, based on their university.
Accountancy firm Ernst and Young has said that it will carry out tests and interviews without considering applicants' exams or degree grades.
As well as wanting to promote social mobility, Deloitte's Emma Codd said the firm needed people "from a variety of backgrounds, bringing a range of perspectives and experience into the firm".
"There is compelling evidence that alternative methods during the recruitment process support this objective, helping to identify exceptional talent," she said.
Rob Fryer, head of student recruitment at Deloitte, said such approaches could find highly innovative people from "less privileged backgrounds" who otherwise would have been missed by employers.
The new stadium is expected to accommodate 5,000 supporters with capability to double in size.
Forest Green have played at The New Lawn since 2006 with chairman Dale Vince hopeful the new development would be completed in around five years.
"By the time we get to build, we will be in the Football League," said Vince.
The development, dubbed 'Eco Park', will be a 100-acre sports and green technology centre at Junction 13 on the M5.
Located on either side of the A419, half of Eco Park will be dedicated to creating state-of-the-art sporting facilities, including an all-seater stadium, training fields, 4G pitches, multi-disciplinary sporting facilities, as well as a sports science hub.
The other half of Eco Park will compromise a green technology business park, capable of serving up to 4,000 jobs.
Forest Green were promoted to the Conference - now called the National League - in 1998 and Vince says they are outgrowing their existing home.
"We've seen our gates double and it chokes the hill and it upsets our neighbours," he told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
"We want to get bigger. We've got intentions to get into the Football League so the problem will only get worse.
"We've been looking for a couple of years, working with Stroud Council. This place would be ideal."
Vince added he hopes The New Lawn "could become affordable low carbon homes" and after an initial consultation period the green-energy tycoon hopes to submit a planning application in September.
Since taking over the club in 2010, Vince introduced:

The fee for the 25-year-old Brazilian midfielder would be around £60m. He joined the Blues from Internacional for £25m in 2012.
Oscar started the first five league games under Antonio Conte but has only played four times since September.
"It just depends on a few bureaucratic details," Oscar told Sportv in his homeland.
Conte did not deny Oscar's claim when asked about the situation following Chelsea's 1-0 win at Sunderland.
"The situation with Oscar, I think it will be clearer in the next days," said Conte, who did not name the Brazilian in his 18-man squad for Wednesday's match.
"Oscar started the season very well with us when we played with a 4-3-3.
"Then when I switched to another system, another formation, he didn't play a lot. But I always counted on him because Oscar is a really good player.
"He's young, but sometimes there are situations that are very difficult to face."
The mooted move would reunite Oscar with former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, who is now in charge at Shanghai.
Oscar has played 202 games for Chelsea, scoring 38 goals, and has won the Premier League, Europa League and League Cup.
The analysis showed being obese at a young age was more damaging to health and life expectancy.
The team, at McGill University in Canada, said heart problems and type 2 diabetes were major sources of disability and death.
Experts said people were frequently "ignorant" of the consequences of obesity.
The health problems caused by obesity are well known.
The report, in the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, used a computer model to take those risks and calculate the impact of weight on life expectancy throughout life.
In comparison with 20 to 39-year-olds with a healthy weight, severely obese men of the same age lost 8.4 years of life and women lost 6.1.
Men also spent 18.8 more years living in poor health while women spent 19.1 in that state.
Moving up an age group to those in the forties and fifties, men lost 3.7 years and women 5.3 years to obesity.
Men and women in their sixties and seventies lost just one year of life to obesity, but still faced seven years in ill health.
Prof Steven Grover said: "Our computer modelling study shows that obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, and diabetes that will, on average, dramatically reduce an individual's life expectancy.
"The pattern is clear. The more an individual weighs and the younger their age, the greater the effect on their health, as they have many years ahead of them during which the increased health risks associated with obesity can negatively impact their lives."
Responding to the findings, Barbara Dinsdale, lifestyle manager for the charity Heart Research UK, said: "How many more wake-up calls do we need?
"This research study yet again supports the clear message that by becoming obese you not only take years off your life, but also life off your years in terms of experiencing more years in poor health rather than enjoying a happy, active and productive life."
"Whatever size you are, small, manageable but sustainable changes are the way forward for a happier, healthier and longer life, and reduced risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."
Tam Fry, of the National Obesity Forum, said: "People persist in thinking that fat is just fat and appear ignorant of the many diseases that a high body mass index triggers.
"If they were told that they could lose a leg or go blind from diabetes or develop life-threatening complications from other similar diseases, I am sure they would think hard and twice before piling on the pounds."
One of those is the state of the NHS and its direction of travel over the next five years.
The immediate signal from the Department is that there will be no radical change of course. Major reorganisations similar to the upheaval seen in the last parliament are not on the agenda.
The Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt has let it be known that his focus will be on "out of hospital" care. He used his first two years in the post to concentrate on what he saw as the urgent need to improve safety and transparency inside hospitals in the wake of the Mid Staffs scandal. He now says there should be a push for higher standards of care for the elderly and most vulnerable patients provided by GP surgeries, community and social care.
Tackling dementia was a priority for the last Government. That is still the case. But ministers are also aware of the increasing obesity challenge to the NHS. The costs associated with treating diabetes are mounting - on one estimate around 10% of the NHS budget. Those who are overweight or obese are more at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. A new initiative in this area by the Department of Health seems likely.
While Jane Ellison remains in her post as public health minister, there are intriguing changes elsewhere in the department.
As Dan Poulter departs, Ben Gummer arrives as a new minister. He made a name for himself campaigning on behalf of Ipswich Hospital to secure a heart centre. He also pushed the Treasury successfully for taxpayers to be sent itemised statements setting out how their money is spent. Might he take a close interest in NHS spending?
The new Minister of State Alistair Burt is an old Whitehall hand, having served in John Major's Government and at the Foreign Office after the 2010 election. He has campaigned on behalf of victims of the tainted blood scandal. One of Mr Hunt's final statements in the last parliament followed the Penrose inquiry in Scotland into the use by the NHS of contaminated blood products. He said a new and broader compensation scheme for victims would be drawn up. It may well fall to Mr Burt to see that through.
As for the opposition, its too early to say what angles will be pursued. Andy Burnham's position is well known and he will probably continue to highlight the use of private provision in the NHS. He may be distracted for a while by a Labour leadership bid - as would shadow care minister Liz Kendall - though that could itself involve a campaign around health.
Hovering over the Department of Health is a financial shadow. The new ministers will quickly be brought up to speed by their colleagues on the short- and medium-term challenges to the NHS budget.
Health trusts have been warning in recent weeks that there is a danger of a significant deficit in the current financial year, perhaps running to £2 billion. They claim to be under massive strain and that a new cash injection from Government will be required.
For now, ministers are making clear that everything the head of NHS England Simon Stevens asked for to cover the current financial year was provided. They are in no mood to pull out the cheque book just yet and don't want to be seen to be caving in to the demands of the leading hospitals.
Summer will give way to autumn. By the time the leaves are falling from the trees, the readiness of the NHS for winter will again be high on the agenda. Claims that the service is creaking at the seams and that the money is running out will be made again. Ministers at the Department of Health will have to start thinking now how they are going to tackle that.
Plaid AM Rhun ap Iorwerth said "the Welsh electorate were excluded" from the 2010 debates because his party did not take part.
He said Plaid should join the debates along with the SNP and the Greens.
The Labour, Lib Dem and UKIP leaders will ask broadcasters to hold the debates, even if Prime Minister David Cameron refuses to participate.
Mr Cameron said he will take part only if the Green Party is included.
Mr ap Iorwerth told BBC Radio Wales' Morning Call programme: "We've reminded the broadcasters in the meetings that we've had with them over the past few months that they're influential and they've got to take that influence that they have very seriously.
"They've got to take their responsibilities very, very seriously, and that's a responsibility not to Plaid, but to the voters of Wales."
Corrie Mckeague, 23, based at Suffolk's RAF Honington, vanished on 24 September after a night out in Bury St Edmunds.
His mother Nicola Urquhart said his family were starting to believe there may have been "third-party involvement" in his disappearance.
She appealed for anyone who might have given her son a lift to come forward.
Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline, Fife, was last seen on CCTV walking alone and eating fast food in Brentgovel Street, Bury St Edmunds, at about 03:20 BST on 24 September.
Speaking at Suffolk Police Headquarters, Mrs Urquhart said the lack of leads that had emerged during the month-long police inquiry had led the family to consider third-party involvement, possibly from someone who picked her son up in a car.
She said somebody may have tried to give him a lift back to his base seven miles (11km) away, but had taken him the wrong way and got lost, and was now too scared to come forward.
Appealing directly to that person, she said: "Please, you were trying to do the right thing the first time... please come forward and tell us where you dropped him off.
"But if it's something more untoward and somebody has done something awful to him I still want my son back, so please tell me where he is."
On Monday Suffolk police said they were looking into a possible sighting of Mr Mckeague by a driver on the Hollow Road Industrial Estate, and on Wednesday search teams covered an area at Great Livermere, close to RAF Honington.
Mrs Urquhart said she did not believe abduction by terrorists, or kidnap, were likely scenarios.
"I have never known a terrorist organisation or group to take somebody and keep it secret - it doesn't serve their purpose so why on Earth would they do it," she said.
On the possibility of kidnap, she said: "Nobody has come forward wanting anything or asking for anything.
"Just now - today - Corrie's alive. I want him home.
"If somebody can come home alive after this time then it's him, and I will keep feeling that and make myself feel that until I get news that's an absolute fact to the contrary."
It used data on bird strikes to get a sense of what would happen if a small drone collided with a plane.
Only 3% of collisions between aircraft and birds similar in weight to domestic drones result in damage, found the George Mason University researchers.
An even smaller number caused injuries to humans, it found, and many of these were caused by flocks of birds.
The research project was prompted by the recent introduction of rules in the US that make owners of drones weighing more than 250g register their craft with the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
"Contrary to sensational media headlines, the skies are crowded not by drones, but by fowl," wrote Eli Dourado and Samuel Hammond in an article summarising their research.
US airspace is home to about 10 billion birds, said the researchers, but collisions between fowl and aircraft have remained rare.
The pair analysed 25 years of data gathered by the FAA on bird strikes to determine what damage a drone might do.
Of the 160,000 bird strikes recorded since 1990, 14,314 caused damage, revealed the analysis. About 80% of the damage was done by birds such as turkey vultures and geese, which significantly outweigh domestic drones.
About 97% of the strikes that involved small birds did no damage to the aircraft they hit, said the researchers.
"Given the voluntary nature of strike reporting, the true percentage of strikes causing damage is probably much lower, as strikes that do not cause damage can be either missed or under-reported," they wrote.
The researchers did point out that because birds and drones are made of different materials, more damage might occur if a drone hits a plane. It urged the FAA to carry out research to determine the likely damage.
While there have been wildlife strikes that did cause fatalities, none involved a bird that was similar in size to a domestic drone, they said.
If drones collided with planes in the same proportion as birds do - roughly one bird in one million - then it could be a long time before any drone-aircraft impact does damage, they said.
"One damaging incident will occur no more than every 1.87 million years of 2kg [drone] flight time," said the researchers. Fatal incidents will be even rarer.
"This appears to be an acceptable risk to the airspace," they concluded.
Head coach Eddie Jones wants the Northampton hooker to replace Chris Robshaw for the Six Nations campaign.
Hartley, 29, has recently been sidelined with concussion and a rib injury, but will feature for Northampton against Scarlets in the European Champions Cup on Saturday.
The England squad will gather for the first time under Jones at a training camp after this weekend's games.
Harlequins flanker Robshaw has been captain for the past four years, but came in for heavy criticism during England's poor World Cup campaign.
Meanwhile, Jones has confirmed that World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson and ex-Australia flanker George Smith will carry out "informal" coaching roles with England during the Six Nations.
"They will come in and help the players at various times," he said.
"George will definitely come in next Wednesday to help the back rowers. But it's very informal. He's not a coach as such, he's doing it out of friendship.
"He's one of the best defence breakdown forwards in the world. He will help our aspiring number sevens."
The Somali nationals, doing work paid for by the World Health Organization (WHO), were abducted in the town of Luuq in the southwestern Gedo province.
Negotiations are said to be under way for their release.
Al-Shabab, which is behind many attacks in Somalia and neighbouring Kenya, is also known for using kidnappings to raise money.
The four who were taken were carrying out a WHO-funded vaccination programme.
Gedo province, where the kidnappings occurred, is one of several areas where al-Shabab militants say they have been delivering aid to people facing starvation.
The manifesto accuses the SNP of "trying to drag the country backwards" and says it is time to move on from the independence referendum.
It also sets out plans to build 100,000 new homes across Scotland over the next five years.
And it includes a £1bn pledge to improve energy efficiency in homes.
The Conservatives have set their sights on replacing Labour as Holyrood's main opposition party on 5 May, with polls suggesting the SNP is on course for a third successive term in government.
Speaking as she launched the manifesto at an event in Glasgow, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said she knew the chances of her becoming first minister after the election were "next to nil" and that the SNP
But she insisted she was the "only one who can stand up to the SNP", and argued that Labour had had "nine years, six leaders, and no success in holding the SNP to account".
Instead, she said: "I seek to lead a strong opposition to the SNP. And this manifesto today sets out how.
"So it isn't a programme for government - it is a programme for that strong opposition. It sets out how we intend to challenge the SNP in the event that they are returned for a third term in office."
Ms Davidson claimed the SNP was "arrogantly passing bad laws" knowing Labour would complain but ultimately "bend the knee".
She said she would start a positive and "patient" campaign for Scotland to stay in the UK, with no more "Project Fear" tactics - a reference to criticism of methods used by the Better Together campaign ahead of the 2014 referendum.
Ms Davidson insisted there were no "so-called indyref triggers that justify another referendum", but admitted: "Too often we have failed to make the case for why our family of nations works.
"And the legacy from the referendum is that we on the pro-UK side have allowed 'No thanks' to be seen as a constant negative.
"If we are to counter the SNP's misinformation, this must change. The case for independence is dead. The case for the Union must now be made.
"Our aim must be clear - we want to listen, to learn and to convince people who voted to leave the United Kingdom that a Scotland within it can meet their aspirations and ambitions."
Ms Davidson also stated her belief that strong opposition leads to better government, and that her party could be a "new voice in the land".
Attendees might have been forgiven for thinking they had attended the launch of the Ruth Davidson Party.
The Scottish Conservatives clearly know their leader is popular, and a key selling point for them in May's election.
On the backdrop, on the lectern, projected on the walls and emblazoned on every manifesto - 'Ruth Davidson' was absolutely everywhere at the Tory manifesto launch, with the name of the party she leads noticeably more absent.
It might have looked more like a presidential campaign launch than a party one, but when Ms Davidson addressed her candidates and activists, she wasn't making a pitch for the top job in Scottish politics.
Whereas Kezia Dugdale insists she wants Nicola Sturgeon's chair, Ms Davidson is more eager to take the Labour leader's place at the head of the official opposition.
To that end, she was open about setting out a programme for opposition, rather than one for government.
Her opponents say this is simply a cop-out, to avoid having to come up with detailed plans for how Scotland would be run under a Tory government.
As for Ms Davidson, she might have had her eye on future sparring sessions at First Minister's Questions when she said she wouldn't "carp from the sidelines" - a favourite rebuttal of Ms Sturgeon's during recent Thursday encounters - but rather offer real scrutiny and alternatives to what she says will inevitably be an SNP administration.
The Conservative manifesto underlines the party's commitment to ensuring taxes in Scotland are no higher than elsewhere in the UK.
This a key fault line between the Tories and the other main Holyrood parties, who have all called for income tax rates to be increased to varying degrees once powers are handed to the Scottish Parliament next year.
The manifesto also pledges to scrap the Scottish government's controversial named person scheme, with Ms Davidson predicting opponents of the scheme would "win ground" over the summer.
It commits the party to opposing a second referendum on independence over the course of the next parliament.
And it opposes the current policies of free university tuition - instead favouring a graduate contribution system - and free prescriptions, with the Conservatives proposing a gradual reintroduction of charges.
Ms Davidson said warm housing should be a key priority for the Scottish government, with her party calling for £1bn of funding to go towards meeting a fresh target for every home to have an energy efficiency rating of "C" or better by the end of the decade.
The Conservatives said more than six in 10 homes in Scotland are ranked average or worse in energy efficiency, which Ms Davidson said was adding hundreds of pounds to energy bills.
Speaking ahead of the launch event, the Tory leader said: "We believe that making every home a warm home should be one of the Scottish government's key priorities for infrastructure over the next five years.
"A real focus on this would cut fuel poverty, increase jobs, and would do so much to help us meet our carbon reduction obligations.
"It's an example of the kind of positive contribution we want to make to Scotland over the next five years."
The Scottish Greens and UKIP have published their manifestos already, with the Liberal Democrats, Labour and the SNP to follow.

"I fully understand the prime minister's position," said the Clwyd West MP. "I told the prime minister he has my total support."
Mr Jones said that anyone appointed to the cabinet knew that one day they would have this sort of conversation with the prime minister. He said he expected the reshuffle to be bigger than expected with a lot of departures from government.
He is expected to be replaced by his deputy, Stephen Crabb, Tory MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire. As I write, Mr Crabb has yet to hear the good news officially. He has been spotted at the French Embassy celebrating Bastille Day, although I expect his smartphone remains switched on.

Jurgen Klopp's side looked on course to secure the prize of Champions League football - on offer to the winners of the competition - when Daniel Sturridge's magnificent strike with the outside of his left foot gave them the interval lead.
The good work was wrecked in the first 17 seconds of the second half when Kevin Gameiro turned in Mariano Ferreira's cross to put Sevilla level.
Liverpool, who were denied a clear first-half penalty when Sevilla's Daniel Carrico clearly handled as Roberto Firmino tried to weave past him, never recovered.

Coke's fine 64th-minute finish confirmed Sevilla's superiority and he added a contentious third from close range, which was initially disallowed but was then given as Liverpool slumped to their second final defeat this season after losing to Manchester City in the Capital One Cup.
Klopp has revived Liverpool for much of this season - indeed some of their fans were still hoping for the sort of comeback that saw them score three goals in the last 20 minutes to beat Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-final - but this defeat is a major setback to his summer strategy.
Liverpool had so much riding on this game. The lure of Champions League football, set alongside the chance to play for Klopp and at Anfield, would have completed an attractive package to set before any potential signings.

Now they cannot offer any sort of European football as they ended well beaten here in another night of disappointment for Klopp, who has now lost five successive finals with Dortmund and Liverpool.
Liverpool will still attract players of high class, but a crucial plank in their transfer strategy has been removed by this defeat.
Klopp's spirit of renewal papered over some of the cracks in the Liverpool squad he inherited but they were brutally exposed by Sevilla's second half masterclass.
Liverpool were fragile mentally after the equaliser and it was quite simply too easy to get behind their defensive unit, with Alberto Moreno's shocking performance demonstrating once again he is a weakness that must be addressed. The Spaniard was beaten far too easily in the build-up to Sevilla's opening goal.
Klopp's problems were compounded by the failure of his creative players to put their stamp on the game. Philippe Coutinho barely had the ball while Firmino was subdued and substituted.
In one moment on 35 minutes, Sturridge showed the class that demonstrates how much he means to Liverpool and he may yet mean to England at Euro 2016.
Taking the ball on the angle of the penalty area, he produced a moment of instinctive genius, curling a left-foot finish past Sevilla keeper David Soria into the corner.
Sturridge is arguably England's most gifted striker but has been overtaken by Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy while he has suffered injuries.
If he stays fit, England manager Roy Hodgson will have a serious dilemma at Euro 2016. Will Sturridge yet put captain Wayne Rooney under pressure for his place in France?
The better side won this Europa League final. Once they got on terms, Sevilla were simply in a different class, but how different it might have been had that penalty been given when Carrico handled under pressure from Firmino, along with one or two other acceptable claims.
Liverpool could point to those but ultimately they ended a beaten and bedraggled side, a Europa League that promised so much ended in anti-climax and disappointment.
Liverpool captain James Milner: "We never started in the second half and it is devastating. We didn't show anywhere near our ability and that is the biggest disappointment.
"We were ready, we made sure we said the right things at half-time. We gave a sloppy goal away and never got back into the game.
"The lineman's flag went up for the third goal but the referee gave it the other way. It is nothing to do with the referee, it is about us. We didn't do it on the night that mattered.
"We didn't think about the Champions League, it was about winning this trophy. We didn't manage to get over the line. It is a double blow not to be in Europe next season. We got into two finals and lost both, next time we need to finish the job."
Sevilla defender Daniel Carrico: "It is three seasons in a row now and it is our competition. We have won and our star Antonio Puerta is up there, he is helping us.
"Liverpool played a good first half but the manager told us we need to change the game, we needed to believe and we did what he said. Scoring easily in the second half helped us and Liverpool did not have any chances.
"Next season we will be in the Champions League and it is another challenge for us. We will see what happens next season but it is now time to celebrate."

The world's 10 best-paid actors earned a total of $488.5m (£380.5m) in the past year, Forbes magazine calculated.
That's almost three times more than their female counterparts, who took home $172.5m (£134m) between them.
Transformers star Mark Wahlberg tops the male list with $68m (£53m) - compared with $26m (£20m) for the best-paid woman, La La Land's Emma Stone.
Another 13 men earned more than Stone between June 2016 and June 2017, according to Forbes - including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jackie Chan and her La La Land co-star Ryan Gosling.
Stone recently said some of her male co-stars have taken pay cuts so she can "have parity with them".
Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence are among the other stars who have spoken out about the issue.
Forbes writer Natalie Robehmed said the pay disparity was down to the types of roles on offer.
She wrote: "In release schedules dominated by superhero movies and brawny blockbusters, there are simply fewer parts for women that pay the sizeable backend profits that result in leading men's large paydays, or the franchise sequels that permit aggressive negotiation for favourable deals."
Robehmed added: "Until there are an equal number of high-paying roles, there will continue to be an inequality in the paychecks of Tinseltown's very richest."

Mitchell passed away on Friday and he will be remembered before kick-off in Tuesday's League One play-off first leg against Queen's Park at Broadwood.
He played for Falkirk, Ayr United, Bradford and Queen of the South before moving to Clyde last summer.
Mitchell made 18 appearances for the Bully Wee this season, leaving in January for a new full-time job.
"Everyone connected with Clyde FC was shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Chris Mitchell," said the League One hopefuls in a statement.
"[Manager] Barry Ferguson, his staff and the players received the news when they were travelling back from Elgin as a group [on Saturday], and are today still coming to terms with the loss."
Mitchell spent three seasons at Queen of the South, winning a League One and Challenge Cup double in 2013.
"Our condolences and thoughts go out to his family and friends, of which there are many still here at the club," read a statement from Palmerston Park.
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Tam McManus wrote on Twitter: "Utterly devastated to hear my former Falkirk and Ayr United team mate Chris Mitchell passed away Friday. Absolute gem of a guy. #RIPMitch"
Mitchell spent the first five years of his career at Falkirk before spending a season with Bradford City.
The cause of death has not been disclosed.
The Markit/CIPS UK manufacturing purchasing managers' index rose to 55.1 in July, up from 54.2 the month before. A figure above 50 indicates expansion.
The survey found export orders rose last month at the fastest pace since April 2010, and at the second highest rate since the survey began.
Markit said the weaker pound remained a "key driver" of export growth.
The pound jumped to a 10-month high against the US dollar after the publication of the report.
The figures revealed the first pick-up in growth for three months.
Rob Dobson, a director at Markit, said: "Although the exchange rate remains a key driver of export growth, manufacturers also benefited from stronger economic growth in key markets in the euro area, North America and Asia-Pacific regions.
"Continued expansion is also still filtering through to the labour market, with the latest round of manufacturing job creation among the best seen over the past three years."
The Bank of England will make its latest decision on Thursday on whether to raise interest rates.
Mr Dobson added: "If this trend of milder price pressures is also reflected in other areas of the UK economy, this should provide the Bank of England sufficient leeway to maintain its current supportive stance until the medium-term outlook for economic growth becomes less uncertain."
Economists warned that the figures would not necessarily boost wider UK growth.
Samuel Tombs of Pantheon Macroeconomics said: "Markit's survey remains consistent with only modest growth in manufacturing output that will provide insufficient compensation for the slowdown in the consumer sectors of the economy."
James Smith, an economist at ING, added: "Wider economic data, from the weak second-quarter growth reading to the latest dip in consumer confidence, suggests that the economy is losing speed.
"For that reason, we think the Bank of England is unlikely to hike rates this year."
The Alzheimer's Society calculated that 15% of people with dementia have been victims of financial abuse such as cold calling, scam mail or mis-selling.
That equates to 112,500 people, who lose an average of £850 each.
A separate police report has claimed that financial abuse could lead to premature death.
"Some are so socially isolated that they continue to give money to criminals, even when they realise what is happening, just to maintain some form of human contact," the City of London Police report said.
The Alzheimer's Society has attempted to make some estimate of the extent of financial abuse of the elderly - a subject in which data has been difficult to gather in the past.
It spoke to 104 carers and 47 people with dementia, as well as focus groups with nursing staff, social workers, and other professionals.
This research suggested that 62% of carers said the person they cared for had been approached by cold callers or salespeople on the doorstep, and 70% had been targeted by telephone cold callers.
"We are merely scratching the surface of the frightening hidden depths of financial abuse," said Jeremy Hughes, chief executive at the Alzheimer's Society.
"Too often, con artists are dealing another body blow to people who already face high care costs and a society that fails to understand their needs."
Steve Pye, whose 84-year-old father Stan has dementia and was scammed out of over £1,000, said: "It is not just about being out of pocket. Because of these con artists, my dad now finds it very difficult to trust people."
The charity is putting together a training programme for financial service providers such as banks.
Before that, it is urging families to discuss money management, consider the power of attorney, speak to their local bank manager about difficulties, and stop junk mail.
The police are also looking at updating the way they treat victims of financial crime.
Mehboob Khan, of the Local Government Association, said that a lot had been done by trading standards officers to raise awareness of the issues.
"Because we know many of the victims are particularly vulnerable, we are also calling on the wider community to be aware and look out for their neighbours, friends and family," he said.
"If a resident thinks they or someone they know may have fallen victim to crimes that involve scams or rogue trading, they should contact their council trading standards service, the police, or Crimestoppers immediately."
Older People's Commissioner Sarah Rochira said she was "disappointed" with their responses to a 2014 review.
It found elderly residents "quickly become institutionalised" in homes seen as places of "irreversible decline".
The Welsh government said it was taking "strong action" with new laws to improve the regulation of care homes.
Ms Rochira's report in November followed unannounced visits by experts to 100 care homes, and more than 2,000 questionnaires completed by care home residents and their families.
All public bodies involved in the sector were asked to submit action plans setting out how they would ensure improvements in residents' lives.
While health boards and local councils were praised for their "strong commitments" to improve quality of life, Ms Rochira was critical of the Welsh government and the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW).
"In my review I made very clear the impact of not taking action and the price that is paid by older people when public bodies fail to uphold people's rights and protect them," she said.
"I am therefore extremely disappointed that the responses from the Welsh government and CSSIW in many instances failed to provide adequate detail or acknowledge the change that needs to take place to assure me that action will be taken that will deliver real and positive improvements for older people living in care homes."
The Welsh government said it continued to take "strong action" in relation to the care of older people, citing "significant new legislation" on regulation of the care sector.
"We have also set up a Care Homes Steering Group to provide leadership and ensure action is taken to improve care and support for older people," a spokesperson added.
Imelda Richardson, chief inspector for Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales, said it completed thousands of inspections a year to ensure people receiving care in Wales were safe and last year it saw a 64% reduction in the number of services considered to be of concern.
"We want to re-assure the public that we are an effective inspectorate and regulator - we always put the quality of the care that people receive at the heart of our work," she said.
The report questions the approach of Apple and Google, whose iOS and Android operating systems encrypt data.
"The consequences of these companies' actions on the public safety are severe," the report says.
Recently, Apple refused a court order to unlock data on a smartphone that is part of a criminal case.
"Smartphones are ubiquitous, and there is almost no kind of case in which prosecutors have not used evidence from smartphones," says the report.
"Evidence from smartphones has been used across the country to investigate and prosecute homicides, rapes, assaults, domestic violence, narcotics rings, kidnappings, larcenies, frauds, and robberies."
A series of case examples are given, along with several questions posed to Apple and Google enquiring about the technical details of their encryption schemes and their policies of not adhering to requests to decrypt data.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has previously sent letters to both companies asking some of these questions.
However, the it says it has received no response.
The report proposes smartphones be made subject to search warrants, meaning the operating system designer could be compelled to unlock encrypted data held on the device.
Shane McGee, chief privacy officer at security company FireEye told the BBC he could not see Apple and Google agreeing to the proposals.
"It's just not going to work," he said, adding the idea could harm US commerce.
"It would basically be forcing technology companies in the United States to adopt and provide certain types of technology and avoid other types of technology."
The report was also criticised as "mischaracterising" the situation by Dr Joss Wright, at the Oxford Internet Institute.
"The reason Apple and Google can't do this anymore is because they've finally developed the technology, the phones are powerful enough and it's important enough," he told the BBC.
"For the result they're trying to achieve, they're basically asking for something that isn't practical.
"I question its proportionality. I think the harm it would do to security would be very great."

Starship Technologies said it had tested the robots in London, the US, and Estonian capital Tallinn.
Ahti Heinla told the BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones that there had been no serious incidents of the public interfering with the robots.
He hoped they could begin their deliveries in London before the end of 2016.

Jay Potter's home in a residential area of Forfar was raided by police after a tip-off that there was a "strong smell" of the drug coming from the property.
Drugs squad officers found 47 plants growing in the flat as well as a bag containing £1,500 worth of heroin.
Sheriff Pino di Emidio described the incident as a "significant offence".
Depute fiscal Alan Kempton told Forfar Sheriff Court: "Police received intelligence that drugs were being supplied from the locus, the address of accused Potter.
"There was a strong smell of cannabis within, and officers found 47 cannabis plants in total.
"The opinion of drugs unit officers was that the crop was about six to eight weeks old."
Appearing from custody, Potter, 22, a prisoner at HMP Perth, pleaded guilty to producing and supplying cannabis between 11 January and 11 March this year, and supplying heroin on the latter date.
Not guilty pleas entered on behalf of a co-accused, Potter's partner Koreen Farquharson, were accepted by the Crown.
In March 1914, in the compact surroundings of the Balmoral Showgrounds in Belfast, the Irish team had home advantage, and in front of a partisan crowd they felt they had every chance of defeating the Welsh.
Such was the demand for tickets that special trains were laid on for day trippers from Dublin.
Those who could afford first class paid 14 shillings to make the journey north.
The Welsh team arrived in Belfast knowing that a defeat would put an end to any thoughts of winning the championship.
They did not know at the time that this would be the last contest with the Irish team for six years.
Five months later the Great War would begin, and rugby internationals were about to become irrelevant.
The Welsh pack was one of the most feared in rugby circles, and because of the physical way they played the game their forwards had been given the nickname 'The Terrible Eight'.
The game marked an important moment in the lives of two young Irishmen, Jasper Brett and Vincent McNamara.
Nineteen year-old Brett from Dublin, who was educated at Monkstown Park School in Dublin and the Royal School in Armagh, was making his Ireland debut.
As Brett took to the field in Belfast he joined Cork man Vincent McNamara who, like Brett, had caught the attention of the selectors in recent months.
Within the opening minutes, as the rain lashed down, the Irish team decided to get their retaliation in first and the chief agitator was the Ulsterman Billy Tyrell.
As Welsh player Percy Jones recalled: "We did not have long to wait before the fireworks started. In the first few minutes Tyrell got me and everything inside my head rattled."
Tyrell's punch was the first of many that were traded between opposing players. Soon it seemed that every player on the pitch was involved in a fist fight or scuffle.
Tyrell and Jones had a series of fights, and none of the incidents led to penalties or action by the referee.
Rugby correspondent W J Townsend Collins recalled: "Enough happened under the very nose of the referee and in full view of the press to justify the ordering off of half a dozen players.
"Scores of times, men were tackled and flung to the ground when they were yards from the ball; frequently blows were exchanged; there were times when this game was more like a free fight than scientific rugby football."
The game did not go Ireland's way, and in the closing stages they lost two players to injury.
At full-time the visitors had chalked up a goal and two tries against Ireland's sole try, making the Welsh 11-3 winners.
Three of those who played that day would fight in the Great War and never return home.
The Welsh forward Dai Watts, would die in 1916 on the Western Front. His body would never be recovered.
Jasper Brett and Vincent McNamara never played again for Ireland. Brett's appearance in 'The Battle of Balmoral' would be his only Irish cap.
Vincent McNamara joined the British Army and was killed in an explosion in Gallipoli in November 1915 and today his name is commemorated on the Lancashire Landing Memorial.
Jasper Brett fought at Gallipoli and suffered shell shock and was discharged by the hospital authorities, who declared that he was unfit for military service and he returned to Dublin.
On Sunday 4 February 1917, he left the family home and went for a walk.
He walked into a railway tunnel and was hit by a train. An inquest later ruled he had taken his own life.
He and his teammate Vincent McNamara lived similar lives. They were talented sportsmen from an early age, at school, club and international level.
Men who over a century ago played their part in 'The Battle of Balmoral'.
The motion was passed with 70 votes in favour and 22 votes against it.
It followed a new political agreement struck on Tuesday between Stomont's two largest parties, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin.
However, other parties criticised the motion and voted against handing welfare powers back to Westminster.
The impasse over proposed changes to the benefits system was among a number of issues that had threatened the future of devolution in recent months.
The special sitting of the assembly was called on Wednesday to debate a draft NI Welfare Reform Bill and MLAs spent the afternoon discussing what is known as a legislative consent motion.
The DUP, Sinn Féin and the Alliance Party voted in support of allowing Westminster to intervene and legislate for welfare reform in Northern Ireland.
The Ulster Unionist (UUP) and the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) voted against the motion.
SDLP MLA Alex Attwood described the move as a both a "slap in the face for our democracy" and a "grotesque abdication of political responsibility".
He accused the DUP and Sinn Féin of handing the "hard won authority" of Northern Ireland's Assembly over "lock, stock and barrel to Westminster".
Alliance MLA Stewart Dickson said his party reluctantly supported the motion but it would have preferred to delay the vote on the issue.
He said Tuesday's deal between the DUP and Sinn Féin was a "sticking plaster solution" which other parties had not been privy to until late in the process.
Analysis - BBC NI political correspondent Gareth Gordon
The plan to ask Westminster to do what Stormont failed to do and pass a Welfare Reform Bill for Northern Ireland is controversial.
The Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt said he was also opposed to the move and the SDLP's Alex Attwood told the DUP and Sinn Féin they should be ashamed for using Stormont as a "post-box".
However, Social Development Minister Mervyn Storey - the DUP minister who proposed the motion - said they could not afford to waste any more time.
Sinn Féin argued that the alternative was to allow devolution to fail and risk direct rule from London.
Earlier, Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV) leader Jim Allister interrupted the debate to suggest it be delayed until next week to give MLAs more time to consider it.
The proposed delay was also backed by UUP leader Mike Nesbitt, who asked if the height of MLAs' ambition was to give legislative power away to Westminster.
Social Development Minister Mervyn Storey said if they did not proceed on Wednesday there could be a four-week delay that could jeopardise the passage of the bill through Parliament.
The TUV's motion to delay the debate was defeated and the vote proceeded as planned.

In the run up to Tuesday's agreement, smaller parties had complained that they were left out of many of the negotiations between the DUP and Sinn Féin.
The document, entitled 'A Fresh Start', was agreed by the two largest parties after 10 weeks of talks.
A way forward was agreed on paramilitarism and welfare reform.
However, the parties failed to break the impasse over legacy issues arising from Northern Ireland's Troubles.
Earlier, Sinn Féin's Conor Murphy denied his party had gone back on its commitments on the issue of welfare reform.
"We had to deal with a much, much bigger problem, with a very limited fund to do that," he said.
"We have secured more money over a shorter timeframe and targeted that at the most needy."
Dywedodd Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru fod tua 500 o fusnesau yn dal i aros am eu taliadau o Bolisi Amaeth Cyffredin yr UE (CAP) i gael eu prosesu.
Dywedodd Huw Jones o Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru, wrth BBC Cymru fod yr oedi yn "annerbyniol".
Ond dywedodd Llywodraeth Cymru nad oes cyfnod talu wedi ei osod.
Dywedodd Undeb Amaethwyr Cymru fod y rhan fwyaf o'r rhai sy'n wynebu oedi wedi eu lleoli yng Ngwynedd, gyda 21% o'r bobl sy'n disgwyl taliadau yng Nghymru, wedi eu lleoli o fewn y sir.
Ym Mhowys mae 62 o bobl yn aros am arian i gael ei dalu, gyda'r mwyafrif yn disgwyl eu taliadau erbyn canol mis Ionawr.
"Mae'r oedi yn afresymol. Mae'r taliadau yn cael eu rhoi drwy fisoedd yn hwyrach na'r sefyllfa'r llynedd," meddai Mr Jones.
Dywedodd Tegid Jones, ffermwr o Fachynlleth, sydd yn aros am ei daliadau CAP, ei fod yn ei chael hi'n anodd gyda'r sefyllfa ariannol.
Dywedodd: "Ers mis Rhagfyr, rwyf wedi bod yn ffonio ddwywaith yr wythnos, a dwi'n dal ddim callach.
"Dwi wedi ffeindio fy hun mewn twll mawr, mae gen i filiau a thaliadau yn mynd allan ac nid oes dim yn dod yn ôl i mewn."
Ond dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru fod 97% o'r holl geisiadau ar gyfer y Cynllun y Taliad Sylfaenol - y gronfa amaethyddol ar gyfer "gwarchod a gwella cefn gwlad", wedi cael eu gwneud.
"Er bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i brosesu y rhan fwyaf o'r taliadau BPS erbyn diwedd mis Ionawr - nid oes cyfnod talu penodol," meddai.
"Fel ar gyfer Glastir, nid ydym wedi gwneud ymrwymiad ar amseriad y taliadau Glastir. Fodd bynnag, rydym yn anelu i brosesu nhw i gyd erbyn diwedd mis Ebrill, ac eithrio ar y ceisiadau mwyaf cymhleth."
Swansea Bay was launched as Wales' first "city region" to boost investment, regeneration and jobs.
Sir Terry said there are huge opportunities for the area, which covers Neath Port Talbot, Swansea, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.
The meeting was held at the TWI Technology Centre-Wales, Port Talbot.
Referring to the job loses at Murco in Milford Haven, Sir Terry said there was "no reason why Pembrokeshire cannot attract jobs in the software sector".
However, Carmarthen Town councillor Alun Lenny voiced concerns about the effects of the Swansea Bay City region on the rest of west Wales.
He fears the rest of west Wales will miss out on grants as they will be filtered through the Swansea Bay City Region.
Nadia Murad, who is also a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, will become the UNODC Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking.
Her "appointment marks the first time a survivor of atrocities is bestowed with this distinction," the UN said.
Ms Murad was captured in Iraq in 2014. Six of her brothers were murdered.
The 23-year-old told the BBC she had also been subjected to sexual and physical abuse.
"Under their rule, a captured woman becomes a spoils of war if she is caught trying to escape. She is put in a cell and raped by all the men in that compound. I was gang-raped."
She said she had been bought and sold several times by the militant group. She, however, managed to escape.
Since her escape, she has been advocating for the end of human trafficking.
Ms Murad's ambassadorship "will focus on advocacy initiatives and raise awareness around the plight of the countless victims of trafficking in persons, especially refugees, women and girls," the UN said.
Her induction ceremony at the UN will be witnessed by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, US Ambassador Samantha Power and attorney for Ms Murad, Amal Clooney.
The figures came from Derry City and Strabane District Council, which said that this year's celebrations have been the most successful ever.
Highlights of the event included 'The Rise of the River Gods' parade.
In October, the city was named the world's best Halloween spot in a poll by American newspaper USA Today.
Revellers in Strabane also enjoyed Halloween celebrations with a fireworks display over the River Mourne.
The Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Councillor Elisha McCallion, said the numbers attending had surpassed all expectations.
"Council pulled out all the stops this year to wow locals and visitors alike with a magnificent Halloween programme over the three day festival which led up to the spectacular carnival parade and fireworks display.
"The 'Rise of the River Gods' theme really captured the public's imagination and, it was fantastic to see people of all ages enjoying the family-friendly atmosphere."
Action could then be taken within "a matter of days - a week at the most", she added.
Delays in France had prevented the UK taking action sooner, Ms Rudd told MPs.
She said the "bureaucratic element " would now be dealt "with the sort of urgency that we want to see".
It comes after French president Francois Hollande said the Jungle will be cleared by the end of this year, with its 9,000 inhabitants due to be dispersed around France.
Senior religious figures have already urged the UK to allow nearly 400 refugee children into the UK before the camp is demolished.
In a letter, signed by ex-Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Williams and Muslim and Jewish faith leaders, they described the camp as "a stain" on France and Britain's conscience.
Last week, Unicef also appealed to the British government to speed up the transfer of unaccompanied child refugees from the camp
Answering an urgent question in the House of Commons, Ms Rudd said she had met French minister of the interior Bernard Cazeneuve on Monday.
Ms Rudd said she had made it "crystal clear" to Mr Cazeneuve that the UK's priority was to ensure the safety of children during the clearance.
She said more than 80 unaccompanied children had been accepted to the UK so far this year under EU rules known as the Dublin regulations.
Under the regulations, asylum seekers must make an initial asylum claim in the first EU state they reach, but can apply for asylum in other EU states if they have family there.
She said a further 50 children - largely from Greece - had been accepted under the so-called Dubs amendment.
The amendment to the Immigration Act - originally put forward by Lord Dubs - requires the government to arrange for the transfer to the UK and support of unaccompanied refugee children from Europe.
Ms Rudd said the refugees must be processed in their "host" country under the Dublin regulations, saying the UK government had been pressing for a list from French authorities.
She said the UK government "stands ready" to help fund safe facilities for unaccompanied children eligible for transfer to the UK.
A list of children to be brought to the UK will be given to the Home Office "this week", she said, adding: "And be in no doubt we will move with all urgency - a matter of days, a week at the most, in order to deliver on that commitment when we get it."
Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott said the government needed to be sure that the demolition of the camp would not result in children being "scattered all over France".
She called on the home secretary to "stand up and do what people all over this country want us to do - fulfil our moral responsibilities."
"Fewer words, more action," she added.
Citizens UK has previously said it has identified 387 refugee children in the camp eligible to come to Britain - 178 under the Dublin regulations, and 209 under the Dubs amendment.
The council insists there will be no compulsory redundancies.
It said the planned transformation of services was designed to make them more efficient and customer focused.
Savings suggestions include offering more online, having a neighbourhood approach for face-to-face services and reducing voluntary grants by 10%.
Council officials will now consult with staff and unions, insisting the changes will make the organisation leaner and more efficient.
Alasdair Rankin, Edinburgh city council's finance convener, said: "The council needs to take significant steps to tackle the financial challenges it faces as demand for our services continues to increase.
"At the same time, we want to make services for residents more efficient and effective.
"We set the direction of travel last month when council agreed proposals for a new organisational structure, enabling more effective decision making at neighbourhood level and improved partnership working with third sector organisations.
"We are now considering detailed proposals around this and how we plan to improve the way we interact with residents."
He added: "We believe these priority areas for change will enable us to achieve service improvements as well as cost savings.
"Of course change on this scale brings challenges but we need to take decisive action now to meet our targets and create a stronger, leaner, more agile council to better serve the people of Edinburgh."
The latest proposals will be considered by the finance and resources committee next Thursday.
Of 5,515 stray dogs picked-up by councils in Ulster, only 286 had to be put to sleep, compared to 409 last year.
The total number of stray and abandoned dogs in Northern Ireland has also fallen; from 5,653 in 2015.
Although almost half of the dogs recovered were reunited with their owners, many live in rescue centres.
"This year's Stray Dog Survey shows good news for Northern Ireland," said Ronnie Milsop, Dogs Trust Campaigns Manager for Northern Ireland.
"Whilst it's positive that the number of dogs put to sleep by local authorities has decreased, any dog destroyed for want of a home is one dog too many.
"We work very closely with the Local Authorities who should be commended on their efforts to encourage responsible dog ownership through neutering, microchipping and education over the past year."
Dogs that are picked up by the council are held at pounds for seven days.
After that councils must re-home the animals or find spaces for them in rescue centres.
Each council area has different resources and a limited number of spaces.
If room cannot be found for an animal they have to be put down.
Almost a third of this year's stray and abandoned dogs were reported to have microchips, which accounts for the high number of pets that were reunited with their owners.
Microchipping is a procedure carried out a a veterinary practice. A tiny microchip is inserted under the animal's skin.
This chip gives the pet a unique code that can be scanned and matched to the owner's contact details, which are kept on a database.
With West Indies needing 19 to win, Carlos Brathwaite smashed the first four balls over the boundary to complete a stunning victory.
"I thought: 'I've just lost the World Cup'," Stokes told the Daily Telegraph.
"I couldn't believe it. It was just complete devastation."
But the 24-year-old Durham player believes the setback will make him a better player in the long term.
"Disappointment is the biggest emotion now," he said. "I remember getting the medal and thinking it's just a runners-up medal. You don't want it.
"It will be a little bit of motivation to make sure this does not ever happen again. So train 10 minutes longer every now and again to get better."
Stokes, who has been backed to bounce back from the defeat by England team-mates including Stuart Broad and Alastair Cook, says he would be prepared to bowl the final over for England again.
"It is something I work at a lot," he said. "Some days they go well. Some days they don't. That was a bad day, but I won't be shying away from it."
Stokes praised the post-match behaviour of Brathwaite, whom he described as a "brilliant lad", adding: "We did not have a beer with them afterwards but Brathwaite came up to me and asked for a shirt.
"I wanted to make sure I spoke to them and say well done because I did not want people to think I was bitter. I wished them all the best. It is about respect to the opposition. What happens on the pitch stays on it."

If Warrington defeat either Wigan Warriors or Hull FC on 8 October, they will be domestic champions for the first time since 1955.
Stefan Ratchford and Tom Lineham touched down in the second period to send the Wolves to Old Trafford.
Saints had led 10-8 at half-time, with Kurt Gidley's try for the home side cancelled out by Jonny Lomax.
But the visitors were unable to add any further points after the interval and they could feel aggrieved about the award of Lineham's match-clinching try.
Television replays appeared to show that the former Hull winger had knocked on in attempting to ground the ball in the corner.
In reaching the Grand Final, Warrington ended a run of seven successive home defeats by St Helens, a sequence that had stretched back to June 2011.
Wigan host Hull in the second semi-final on Friday.
Both sides had taken a fairly pragmatic approach in the first period, turning down attempts to run sets of six at the opposition and instead electing to take the two points on offer from kicks at goal.
The one real moment of quality before the break came from St Helens, who scored a scintillating breakaway try through Lomax after good work by Jordan Turner and Adam Swift.
Warrington required a spark having conceded a two-point deficit at half-time, and full-back Ratchford provided two excellent creative moments to swing the match in his side's favour.
Ratchford, who appeared in Warrington's two Grand Final defeats in 2012 and 2013, first spotted a gap in the Saints defence to dive over from dummy-half and then fired a pass out wide for Lineham to cross for his third try in two matches.
And, as St Helens attempted to find a way back into the semi-final, Ratchford was rock solid under the high ball and helped to see off any late threats that Saints posed.
Warrington head coach Tony Smith: "I thought both teams defended really well, we didn't give each other too many opportunities. I thought Saints were fantastic.
"But I just had that feeling that, no matter what happened, they were going to work hard for each other and that's a really big ingredient in rugby league.
"You might not be squeaky clean or just perfect in some areas, but if you work really hard for each other you can cover over a lot of the cracks."
Warrington captain Chris Hill: "[Winning the Grand Final] would be unbelievable and it would go down in history. For me personally being captain, it would be something special and something I'd never forget, but we'll get to that when we're walking up those steps.
"Before that, we've got a big week ahead of us and we're going to prepare well."
St Helens head coach Keiron Cunningham: "I just thought we lacked a little bit of composure in certain areas. That's generally how you win big games - the most composed side for longer periods and whoever kicks the ball best.
"Warrington didn't do anything special, they just did what they always do. I thought we defended a lot of their stuff really well.
"But the biggest thing for me, which is becoming a bit of a blight on the game, is you're looking at the first semi-final and what everybody's talking about is the video referee and refereeing decisions. We just couldn't buy a call tonight.
"You need your fair share of those calls, you do need a bit of luck in the game and it does even itself out over the period of a season, but it seemed like it went a fair bit against us in the wrong game."
Warrington: Ratchford; Lineham, Evans, Atkins, Russell; Gidley, Patton; Hill, Clark, Sims, Wilde, Hughes, Westerman.
Interchanges: T King, G King, Smith, Philbin.
St Helens: Lomax; Owens, Peyroux, Percival, Swift; Turner, Walsh; Amor, Roby, Richards, Greenwood, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Wilkin.
Interchanges: Walmsley, Vea, Thompson, Knowles.

The sailors were in the country to attend a military sports tournament, the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS) said.
The men have appeared in court charged with one count of sexual assault each.
The incident allegedly took place in barracks at an air base at Shearwater, near Halifax, on Thursday.
The alleged victim is a woman not in the military, the CFNIS said.
The men have been named as Craig Stoner, Darren Smalley, Joshua Finbow and Simon Radford, in a statement on the Government of Canada website.
Canadian officials said they were members of the Royal Navy ice hockey team.
Reports in Canada suggested the men were remanded to a jail until Monday, while lawyers negotiate bail terms.
"This is a disturbing accusation of sexual assault," Lt-Col Francis Bolduc said in a statement.
"I'm pleased with the full co-operation provided by the British authorities to support the hard work and diligence of the CFNIS team in responding to this matter."
The UK Ministry of Defence said it was aware of allegations against four members of the Royal Navy.
"The Royal Navy takes allegations of this nature very seriously, however as legal proceedings continue it would be inappropriate to comment further," an MoD spokeswoman said.
The county has not won any silverware since 2008 when they won the One-Day Cup and Division Two of the Pro40.
"He's a very balanced guy, he's passionate about leading Essex into a new era," former England opener Gooch told BBC Look East.
"I'm confident he can start something special for Essex."
Essex won the County Championship six times between 1979 and 1992, but have been in Division Two since 2011.
Former Yorkshire and England bowler Silverwood, 41, was appointed as head coach on a full-time basis in December 2015 after standing in temporarily following Paul Grayson's departure last September.
The club has also had a shake-up on the field with Ryan ten Doeschate replacing James Foster as four-day captain and Ravi Bopara being named as limited-overs skipper.
"I think he's got a tough job and the pressure's going to be on him [Silverwood]," Gooch, who played for Essex for 24 years, added.
"We've had a change of captain, a few new players and he's got a new assistant coach.
"I think Essex have been flat-lining a bit for a few years, but I'm confident he can start something special."
Built in 1070, Chester Castle was the base for the English conquest of Wales.
The city's MP Chris Matheson said reopening the attraction had been "quite problematic" as the site was owned by various organisations.
He said he had to "bang heads together" but "getting access to some very old parts of the city will be fantastic".
Founded during the Roman military occupation, the historic city draws about eight million visitors annually, a spokesman for Cheshire West and Chester Council said.
The castle, which is in the south-west part of the walled city, will be free to get into until 3 September.
The local authority is looking into whether a museum and art gallery could be located at the site in the future.
Council cabinet member Louise Gittins said: "For that to happen it's a long-term view and there are a lot of barriers to overcome.
"We want to encourage and inspire people to connect with local heritage and to use the fabric of the city as a backdrop for interesting and engaging activities and events."

Prosecutors accuse Mr Perez Molina of masterminding a scheme to defraud the customs service of millions of dollars. He denies the allegations.
On Tuesday, Congress stripped him of his immunity from prosecution, a first in the Central American nation.
A spokesman said Mr Perez Molina had decided to step down to "confront the proceedings against him".
Mr Perez Molina's resignation comes just days before Sunday's presidential election, in which he was barred from standing under constitutional rules.
For weeks now Guatemalans have been chanting "fuera" (out).
They shouted because more than anything they wanted President Perez Molina to resign.
They were outraged at these most recent corruption scandals and while corruption has always been present - and even tolerated - in Guatemala, people had had enough.
Their voices have now been heard. Guatemalans feel this is their moment, that for once they have been listened to.
On a day that until recently they never thought they would see, people on the streets feel empowered.
Vice-President Alejandro Maldonado is expected to govern until the new president is sworn in on 14 January.
Mr Maldonado has only been in the post since mid-May, when his predecessor Roxana Baldetti resigned.
Ms Baldetti is accused of involvement in the same corruption scheme which Mr Perez Molina allegedly masterminded.
Investigators say the scheme, dubbed La Linea, or The Line, involved businesses paying bribes to government officials and custom officers in return for being allowed to evade import duties.
The corruption scandal has triggered a series of mass protests in Guatemala and widespread calls for Mr Perez Molina to resign.
But until Wednesday night, the president had stood firm, saying he would serve out his term.
His spokesman said Mr Perez Molina had handed in his letter of resignation just before midnight local time.
Congress still has to approve his resignation before it comes into force.
Local media said Mr Perez Molina's current whereabouts were unknown.
On Tuesday, a judge barred him from leaving the country "as a precautionary measure".
Earlier this week, Mr Perez Molina said he would be "very respectful and submit himself to the rule of law".
Shahbaz Taseer was seized by gunmen in Lahore in August 2011, months after his father Salman was killed for opposing Pakistan's blasphemy laws.
The assassin, his bodyguard Mumtaz Qadri, was hailed by many as a hero.
Counter-terror police said they recovered Mr Taseer from a compound north of Quetta, following a tip off.
Shahbaz Taseer's dramatic release came barely a week after the hanging of Mumtaz Qadri. So are the two developments linked?
If they are, then it would suggest that the Pakistani security agencies are getting serious about the state of lawlessness in the country and this may be their first big break.
But many aspects of the raid in which Shahbaz Taseer was recovered are still unclear - Why was he being kept in a hotel? Who were his kidnappers? Was there a shoot-out between the kidnappers and the security forces? Were any of the kidnappers arrested?
Mr Taseer was the son of an influential politician and businessman, and was considered to be his political heir. But the family's hopes were dashed when his father was shot dead, and he himself was kidnapped months later.
Soon after his kidnapping, there were rumours that his captors had demanded a huge ransom. But then the case went cold.
It now appears that he may have been freed for ransom. Reports from Quetta suggest that on Tuesday he walked into a restaurant in Kuchlak, ordered food, then asked for a phone to call Lahore.
Official confirmation is still awaited.
Why did Pakistan keep hard-line mourners off air?
How Punjab governor's killer became a hero
Aitzaz Goraya, head of the Counter-Terrorism Department of south-western Balochistan province told AFP: "Intelligence forces and police went to a compound in Kuchlak district some 25km (16 miles) north of Quetta.
"We surrounded the compound and we raided it. We didn't find anyone. A single person was there and he told us, 'My name is Shahbaz and my father's name is Salman Taseer'."
The Balochistan Frontier Corps, the government paramilitary group behind the operation, tweeted to announce that Mr Taseer had been safely recovered.
Few other details were available about the operation or how Mr Taseer came to be at the compound alone.
Some reports suggested a ransom may have been paid to the Pakistani Taliban, which is suspected of involvement, or that holding Mr Taseer had become too burdensome.
The governor's son may have spent time in the custody of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) before troops drove the group out of North Waziristan into Afghanistan in an operation that began in 2014, Pakistani journalist Rahimullah Yusufzai told BBC Urdu. Mr Taseer then apparently ended up in the hands of the Afghan Taliban following clashes with the IMU.
Mr Goraya described the rescued hostage, who is in his early thirties, as being in "feeble" health.
Qadri was hailed as a hero by Islamists after killing Salman Taseer in Islamabad over the governor's opposition to blasphemy laws.
Thousands of people protested last week following the execution of the former police bodyguard.
Shabaz Taseer's brother Shehryar said just after Qadri's hanging that the execution was a victory for Pakistan but not his family.
"The safe return of my brother is the only victory my family wants," he wrote on Twitter on 29 February.
Former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, who belonged to the same Pakistan People's Party as Governor Taseer and whose own son was kidnapped by suspected Taliban militants in May 2013, told Geo News on Tuesday: "It is a very big day for Salman's family."
He added: "After this release, I am very hopeful that my own son will be freed."
The Channel Islanders led by 11 goals at one stage but went into the final quarter level with their opponents.
Victory lifted Linda Andrews' side to fourth and keeps them in the hunt for the end-of-season promotion play-offs.
"It was so tough, we made a right spectacle of it - to win by seven was amazing," Devine told BBC Radio Jersey.
"You've got to go down sometimes to get strength of character and learn how to build back up, so we'll certainly learn a lot of lessons from that."
Ryland got promoted along with Team Jets last season and sit second in the table.
Jets have lost just two of their last 10 games and have two regular-season games remaining.
"The home crowd's always a good advantage but sometimes it adds that little bit of pressure - without it it would've been a very different game," added Devine.
"We had a little dip - I think we probably surprised ourselves with such a good start, we weren't used to it."

Dujardin, who could become the first British woman to win three Olympic gold medals, posted a score of 85.071% - the highest of all 44 competitors.
It helped move the British team of Dujardin, Carl Hester, Fiona Bigwood and Spencer Wilton up to second.
Germany (81.424) lead ahead of Britain (79.252) and the US (76.971).
The team competition concludes on Friday, with the top six qualifiers completed by the Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark.
"I think, for me, going in there today was about going in and enjoying it. That was the biggest thing," 31-year-old Dujardin said.
"I watched a lot of people on the first day going in there looking nervous.
"I thought, 'It's my absolute passion, I've got the horse of my life, I've got a top trainer and huge support team around me, so go out there and enjoy it'."

They say it can mean an initial burst of hyperactivity and then an "inevitable crash" later in the day.
Teachers' union leader Chris Keates said a "significant number" of school staff had concerns over energy drinks.
The British Soft Drinks Association said teachers must decide "what pupils are allowed to take into school".
The NASUWT teachers' union's annual conference in Cardiff will hear warnings about the "negative impact" of energy drinks on pupils' behaviour.
They will raise concerns that "high levels of caffeine and sugar" are disrupting pupils' ability to concentrate and behave well in class.
Ms Keates says teachers have warned of pupils staying up into the early hours of the morning and then drinking several cans of energy drinks on the way to school the next day.
After a phase of hyperactivity and poor concentration, she says pupils "crash later in the day when the impact of these drinks wears off".
"These drinks are becoming increasingly popular among young people and are often seen as simply like any other soft drink, but many young people and their parents are not aware of the very high levels of stimulants that these drinks contain," said the NASUWT leader.
But Gavin Partington, director general of the British Soft Drinks Association, said: "It's worth remembering that coffees from popular high street chains contain the same or more caffeine than most energy drinks.
"However, like all food and drink, energy drinks should be consumed in moderation and as part of a balanced diet."
Mr Partington said his association's code of practice says high caffeine soft drinks are not recommended for children, and high caffeine content drinks should not be promoted or marketed to children.
The teachers' union conference will also hear concerns of "home invasion" and "email intrusion" from staff who complain they are receiving too many work-related emails outside of school hours.
Many staff say they are expected to respond to work emails in evenings and weekends, including from parents and pupils, and some reported being expected to answer work emails when they were on sick leave.
"It is unacceptable that teachers at home or when they are ill or on leave continue to be bombarded with emails at all times of the day and night," said Ms Keates.

The game was effectively wrapped up in a clinical opening 21 minutes from the Iron, who are currently 22nd in the National League.
They took the lead after just six minutes when Monty Patterson scored as he followed up Michael Cheek's back-post header which was saved by Lewis Carey.
The lead was doubled five minutes later as Patterson's corner was met by the head of former Wolves defender George Elokobi.
The third goal came in the 21st minute when Oli Muldoon's free-kick took a deflection and the ball rolled into the net.
Eastbourne attacked but struggled to find the target and Lee Barnard made it 4-0 in the 68th minute as he scored from close range after Sim Akinola's lob over Carey hit the post.
Barnard bagged a second six minutes later from the penalty spot after Akinola was fouled, before Elokobi added the sixth after heading in another corner.
The rout was completed by stand-in skipper Akinola as he curled home a beautiful effort late on.

The victim is understood to have been trying to get to an island when he got into trouble on Thursday evening.
Specialist rescue officers led by the fire service later found his body in the water at Lee Valley Park in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.
Hertfordshire Police said the teenager was pronounced dead at the scene and there were no suspicious circumstances.
More on this and other news from Hertfordshire
A friend of the boy, who has not yet been officially named, said: "He was trying to swim to an island and got into trouble.
"The two boys he was with tried to save him, but there was nothing they could do."
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which led the operation, said the boy's body was found "after an extensive bankside and water search".
They issued a warning to people thinking about swimming in open water.
"Now that the weather is so warm it's very tempting to cool off with a swim," Chief Fire Officer Darryl Keen said.
"However, even the strongest swimmer can get into difficulties and we would advise people to think carefully before swimming in unsupervised areas and look out for signs and advice about the specific dangers at the location where you are swimming." | A 16-year-old boy has drowned after getting into difficulties while swimming in a lake. | 40,057,665 | 259 | 23 | false |
The 19-year-old made his Championship debut against Hampshire in May and scored his first half-century against Warwickshire in his next match.
"It is really pleasing to get asked to sign a long-term contract. I'm absolutely thrilled," said Clarke.
"I see Worcestershire as a good place to develop my career," said the Shropshire-born wicketkeeper/batsman.
Clarke, from Trefonen, learned his formative cricket with his native county before graduating from the Worcestershire academy.
He has blossomed since being given his first-team chance, hitting three more half-centuries - against Hampshire, champions Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.
He also struck an unbeaten 131 - his maiden century - against Gloucestershire in the One-Day Cup in August.
"I feel, as a youngster, there are a lot of opportunities at Worcestershire to play first-team cricket," added Clarke.
"It is a massive opportunity in these next three years for me to push myself and become a first-team regular, do well and push for international honours in the future."
Although he is concentrating on his batting at the moment, with Ben Cox the first-choice wicket-keeper, Clarke says having former England keeper Steve Rhodes as the county's director of cricket is helping him to develop his skills behind the stumps.
"He's been really assuring and made it a lot easier for me to have no hesitation in signing," said Clarke. "He has helped a lot with my keeping and is good to speak to about my batting as well.

Derek Serpell-Morris, who has played sets at Glastonbury under the name DJ Derek, was reported missing by his family on 23 July.
He was last captured on CCTV leaving the Criterion public house in the city in the early hours of 11 July.
Officers now think he used his bus pass on the number 78 bus which left Bristol for Thornbury at 10:32 BST that day.
Det Ch Insp Matthew Iddon said: "I am appealing directly for anyone who regularly uses the number 78 bus on a Saturday morning from Bristol to Thornbury to have a look at the photo of Derek and see if you recall seeing him."
He added that the search continues "unabated" and officers "are continuing to fully investigate all lines of enquiry".
Previously DJ Derek's great niece, Jennifer Griffiths, said she was losing hope of finding him alive.
He is described as a white male, of average height, of slim build with grey hair. He also wears glasses.
DJ Derek is known to thousands of people and has played hundreds of sets at local clubs and pubs, as well as at the Glastonbury festival.

Two of the incidents occurred near the flashpoint West Bank city of Hebron, while the third happened outside a gate to Jerusalem's Old City.
It is the first such spate of attacks after months of near-daily stabbings and car-rammings recently subsided.
A Palestinian was also shot dead when Israeli troops raided his home.
Mohammed Saraheen, 30, was killed while trying to evade arrest during the operation in the West Bank village of Beit Ula on Friday morning, the Israeli military said.
Two of the later attacks on Israelis happened nearby.
In one, a Palestinian was shot dead after ramming his vehicle into civilians at a bus stop near the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba, the military said. Three people were wounded.
Another Palestinian who was involved in the attack was shot and wounded, officials said.
Hours later, a Palestinian who stabbed and wounded a soldier at a junction near Hebron was shot dead, officials said.
In East Jerusalem, a Jordanian man was killed by security forces after trying to stab police outside Damascus Gate, according to Israeli authorities.
The site has been the scene of multiple attacks on Israelis, and killings of assailants, in previous months.
Thirty-five Israelis been killed in a wave of knife, gun and car-ramming attacks by Palestinians or Israeli Arabs since last October.
More than 200 Palestinians - mostly attackers, Israel says - have also been killed in that period.
Israel says Palestinian incitement has fuelled the attacks. The Palestinian leadership has blamed frustration rooted in decades of Israeli occupation.
Police in Cologne investigating the crimes are focussing on people of North African origin, they say.
On Sunday evening six Pakistanis and a Syrian man came under attack in the centre of the western German city.
Angela Merkel's immigration policy has come under criticism since the attacks.
Around 1.1 million asylum seekers arrived in Germany in 2015.
The scale of the assaults on women in Cologne and other German cities on 31 December has shocked the country, and police handling of the events has been sharply criticised.
Riot police used water cannon to disperse anti-migrant protesters in Cologne on Saturday.
The attacks on Sunday took place in the early evening. In the first, a group of around 20 people attacked six Pakistanis, two of whom had to be treated in hospital.
Separately, five people injured a Syrian man who did not need hospital treatment.
The higher figures came as German authorities were urged to find out whether the series of New Year's Eve sexual assaults and robberies in Cologne were linked to similar crimes in other cities.
Justice Minister Heiko Maas told the Bild newspaper on Sunday that he was convinced the attacks were pre-arranged.
"If such a horde gathers in order to commit crimes, that appears in some form to be planned,'' he said. "Nobody can tell me that this was not co-ordinated or prepared."
Authorities and witnesses say the attackers were among about 1,000 people, mostly men, who congregated at Cologne's central train station before breaking off into small groups that molested and robbed women.
Victims described chaos as dozens of sexual assaults and robberies were carried out with little apparent response from the authorities around Cologne station.
Similar attacks to those seen in Cologne were also reported in Hamburg and in Stuttgart on New Year's Eve. In Bielefeld, hundreds of men tried to force their way into nightclubs, Die Welt reported (in German).
Police said several women had alleged sexual assault.
On Friday, the chief of police for Cologne was suspended. Wolfgang Albers had been accused of holding back information about the attacks, in particular about the origin of the suspects.
Shares in the company dropped 4.3% to 430.10p after it reported a fall in the number of letters delivered.
In the nine months to 25 December, the volume of letters delivered fell 6% while letter revenues were down 5%.
"We are seeing the impact of overall business uncertainty in the UK on letter volumes," it said.
Royal Mail added that this had been seen "in particular" in advertising and business letters.
However, its parcels business saw revenues rise by 3% with the number of parcels delivered 2% higher.
Royal Mail was the biggest faller in the FTSE 100, with the UK's benchmark share index down 15.08 points at 7,232.53 in early trade.
In the FTSE 250, shares in Moneysupermarket.com jumped 9% after it said full-year results were set to beat expectations, with operating profits up 8%.
Halfords was another company benefiting from an upbeat trading update. Its shares rose 7% after the car parts and bike retailer reported a "strong sales performance" for the crucial Christmas period, with like-for-like sales up 5.9% during the three months to 15 January.
However, the news from Pets at Home was not so encouraging. Its shares fell more than 8% after it reported "subdued trading" at its merchandise division, with like-for-like sales at the unit down 0.5%.
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.5% against the dollar to $1.2318 and was 0.2% higher against the euro at 1.1555 euros.

Lord Coe, president of International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), has threatened to ban Kenya's track and field team from the Olympics if the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) finds them non-compliant.
Briton Farah said: "You don't wish it on any athlete who hasn't done anything wrong. But, as for the country, if they don't follow the rules then tough."
Kenya, one of the top distance-running nations, is on a Wada "watch list" although the country's sports minister says they are "fully co-operating" in an effort to prove it is tackling cheating.
Farah, who will compete in the 3,000m at the Indoor Grand Prix in Glasgow on Saturday, won gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m at the London 2012 Olympics and the 2013 and 2015 World Championships.
Asked about Kenya's potential absence from the Rio Olympics this summer, he joked: "If we don't have Kenya, it makes it easier for me, which is great."
Kenyans Geoffrey Kipsang Kamworor, Paul Kipngetich Tanui and Bitan Karoki are possible rivals to Farah.

Adam Gemili, who won 100m silver for England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, said: "It's good whenever a cheat is caught. It helps to clean up athletics."
Meanwhile, 32-year-old Farah says he will not let the threat of the Zika virus deny him the chance to share further Olympic success with his family.
At London 2012, wife Tania and step-daughter Rihanna joined Farah on the track to celebrate his gold in the 10,000m.
"For me, the Olympics is where it is at," he said. "I want to have that moment for my family no matter what.
"In London, one of the best things ever was having my family on the track. Seeing my wife and daughter there was incredible.
"I believe they are part of me and will be there again. I'm not even thinking about anything like the Zika virus. I want them there and that's it.
"I've been training in Ethiopia for the last six weeks up at 10,000ft in some pretty nice weather.

A leaked interim review had highlighted "serious concerns" over South Ribble Borough Council's taxi licensing and handling of two child sex abuse claims.
The full report concludes issues surrounding taxi licence applications have now been identified and addressed.
The authority "welcomes the findings".
An audit of taxi driver applications in December had found appropriate background checks had not been carried out in relation to 40 working taxi drivers in South Ribble.
Council leader Margaret Smith said a taxi driver's licence has since been revoked and it has "double-checked" the licence of every other taxi driver in the borough.
"The public rightly expects our licensing service to provide them with the right level of protection and we regret any instances where we fell short of the mark," the Conservative councillor said.
The authority was working closely with the police and crime commissioner, Lancashire Safeguarding Children Board and other authorities to "bring in a robust licensing policy", she added.
The independent report, written by solicitors Wilkin Chapman LLP, concluded it was not necessary to make any further recommendations as it had "taken steps to address operational issues".
The leader of the opposition, councillor Paul Foster, said he wanted more information.
Mr Foster, Labour, said: "It is a complete and utter whitewash: one licence has been revoked.
"I'm afraid there are five serious cases of either child exploitation or safeguarding issues.
"We must understand what has happened to the other four drivers and why they haven't had their licenses revoked."
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) found 31% more members reporting house price increases in April.
However, the survey also indicated that buyer activity has dampened since the start of the year.
Rics said the trends, in part, may have been a result of uncertainty ahead of the election.
In the latest Rics residential market survey, Scotland was the only country in the UK where surveyors reported a rise in the number of properties coming onto the market.
Across the rest of the UK, new instructions saw their eighth consecutive drop in the last nine months.
Rics Scotland director Sarah Speirs said: "There have been indications of more moderate price gains in Scotland in recent months, but activity indicators remain positive.
"Unlike across the rest of the UK, Scotland continues to see moderate growth in supply, which is being met by a steadily increasing rise in demand.
"Anecdotally, the uncertainty created by the general election has impacted market activity and it remains early days to assess what impact the new Land Building and Transaction Tax (LBTT) is having on property prices in different parts of the country - and at different price bands."
Walker was challenged in the box by Kieran Tierney and Brown said: "It was a dive. Cheat. What else can you say?"
The Hearts midfielder said: "I knocked the ball on and I've seen him [Tierney] coming out the corner of my eye and felt contact so I went down.
"At the end of the day, I am not the referee. I don't give the decisions."
Brown praised Hearts for their performance, but added: "There is no place in football for cheats and that's been a couple of times here now."
Brendan Rodgers, taking charge of his first Scottish Premiership game, praised his Celtic players' mentality to recover from referee John Beaton's "mistake".
Celtic led via James Forrest's opener but Walker levelled from the disputed penalty.
Walker slammed in the penalty but Scott Sinclair's late winner secured three points for the reigning champions.
"It was a dubious penalty, that was clear. In fairness to the referee, he said he made a mistake," Rodgers said.
"At least he was big enough to admit that.
"We had to show mentality and character in the second half. We were super offensive in the last 20 minutes and eventually got the breakthrough."
Rodgers was understandably delighted with the impact of Sinclair, who came off the bench after an hour to make his debut after completing a £3.5m move from Aston Villa.
"He showed typical hunger and desire to score the goal, with the speed he has shown to get into the box," Rodgers told BBC Scotland after his first league match in charge of Celtic.
"It was wonderful play from Leigh Griffiths and Scott showed a great touch and composure to score.
"He has made a big choice to come here but I am sure he will do well and score many more goals.
"He is a really top talent. It has been a bit difficult for him the last couple of seasons at Manchester City and Aston Villa but he brings excitement - he gets you off your feet with his pace and trickery, and he loves scoring goals."
It completed a whirlwind 48 hours for Sinclair, who only arrived in Scotland on Friday night, and completed the final details of his transfer late on Saturday.
"It all happened so fast," he told BBC Scotland. "I only had three hours' sleep on Friday, but I did the scans and bits and pieces yesterday and I made the squad.
"It is an amazing feeling to come on and score the winner. I didn't think I would be involved but the manager said I was fit.
"This is why I came to Celtic - to play games, score goals and start enjoying it again. Hopefully it can continue."
Rodgers admitted he wants to add "at least another two" players to his squad before the transfer window closes.
One of his new signings, Kolo Toure, was struggling with a groin problem late on, in his first start for the club.
"He wanted to continue," Rodgers added. "I thought he was excellent. He is still a way off with his fitness but he showed he can still play in these big games."
Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson felt his side could have had a second penalty when Toure clashed with Robbie Muirhead.
"There were a lot of inconsistent decisions today," he said. "We got some, they got some.
"In my opinion Toure leans into the back of him. If there's no contact on the ball and the boy goes down it's a penalty."
The Tynecastle boss also revealed he hopes to make at least two signings before the end of the transfer window.
"We're still looking to get a couple of guys in," said Neilson. "[Krystian] Nowak the centre back came in last week so we'll hopefully get that tied up in the next couple of days, and we're also looking for a wide player."
The 29-year-old joins the Sky Blues on a loan agreement before the American side begin their inaugural MLS season.
"When I spoke to the gaffer he was full of confidence about what he wants to achieve here this season," McCann said.
"The way he speaks and his ideas about the way he wants his team to play, it breeds confidence into players."
McCann agreed a move to Atlanta earlier this summer after he left Wigan, where he made 82 league appearances during a three-year stay.

The 25-year-old moved from Damascus to Berlin in 2013 and founded a non-governmental organisation (NGO) called Make it German.
It provides free advice to fellow Syrians and other Arabic-speakers new to Germany on all aspects of life, including study opportunities and finding a job.
Anas was born with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia, a genetic disease that affects the shape of bones and their development.
He was able to walk when he was a child, but as he grew older, his condition became worse.
In 2003, he travelled to Germany for the first time for medical treatment. But spinal surgery left him permanently paralysed and wheelchair-bound.
"Germany changed my life twice, once in 2003 and again in 2013," he says.
Anas found it hard to lead an independent life in Syria, despite the support of family and friends.
Wheelchair-friendly infrastructure did not exist in Damascus, restricting his freedom and opportunities.
His situation only got worse as the war intensified - he felt increasingly trapped.
"I had no choice but to leave. I wanted to pursue my goals and the situation in Syria wasn't helping me," he says.
It was a struggle to obtain a visa. Anas had to travel to neighbouring Lebanon to apply through the German embassy there.
In December 2013, Anas moved to Germany to study for an undergraduate degree in computer science at the Technical University of Berlin. He travelled by himself. His family could not join him - they could not afford the travel expenses, nor obtain visas.
Germany took in a record 890,000 migrants and refugees in 2015. But last year the number of asylum seekers fell to 280,000, after the Balkan route was closed. Syrians formed 37% of asylum applicants in 2016 - by far the largest group.
The influx has put some public services under pressure and caused political tensions.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has been criticised for her "open door" policy, though many Germans have shown generosity towards the newcomers.
Initially Anas struggled with the language and laws, but did not let that hold him back.
How did he feel about Berlin? "It was love at first sight," he says.
He admires the German culture and work ethic. "Unlike Syrians, Germans are direct and straightforward," he says.
"Being able to move freely is the most important thing. Berlin gives me the freedom of movement I always wanted and I feel independent, unlike my situation back in Damascus."
Physical barriers are no longer an issue for Anas. He crosses the city in his wheelchair, goes to university every day and sees himself as an active member of society.
He has made many friends in Berlin and is always busy with university or social events. His only concern is his financial situation.
As the Syrian war grinds on, Anas' financial burdens are increasing, but he no longer wants to ask his parents for money. He has some income from work and help from his friends.
In April 2016, he and a group of friends launched Make it German, for Arabic-speaking immigrants.
"Our goal is to build a bridge between new arrivals and German society and help them be on the right track," Anas says.
Recently the NGO launched a social media campaign encouraging Syrians to donate blood, as an "act of solidarity and a sign of co-existence".
It organises web seminars via Skype, where Syrian guest speakers and others share their experiences of making Germany their home.
At the moment, the NGO is self-funded, through the team's savings and earnings from their day jobs.
To keep costs low the volunteers mainly work from home, but Anas hopes they will soon be able to rent office space.
Ashraf, a Syrian student, praised Make it German for the advice he got about his course. "They provided me with all the information I needed, along with supporting documents from official sources."
Yusra, another student, said the NGO's advice about applying for medical school was useful, "however, I felt that not all my questions were addressed".
Anas has not seen his parents - still in Damascus - for more than three years. "Although we are not together, I think of them every day, but I can't go back to Syria. I worry about them, but my life is here now."
Even if the war were to end, Anas would like to settle in Germany. He wants to finish his studies, while continuing to help other Syrians.

Former England assistant coach Graham Rowntree has been appointed as forwards coach, while number eight Nick Easter will become defence coach.
Meanwhile, backs coach Mark Mapletoft will succeed Kingston as head coach.
"Taking the role of director of rugby is an exciting and well-timed new challenge for me," Kingston said.
He has been on the coaching staff at Harlequins since 2001, having previously had stints at Richmond and Irish side Galwegians.
Rowntree was England forwards coach under Stuart Lancaster, but left the national set-up in December when Eddie Jones was appointed as head coach.
The 45-year-old former Leicester prop won 54 caps for England and also appeared three times for the British & Irish Lions during his playing career.
"I've had an enforced step back from the game, and it's been good to spend time with the family," Rowntree told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I was delighted we won the Six Nations, but this is the start of a new adventure. I'm determined to grasp this opportunity. I'm ready for it."
Quins say the appointment of Kingston as director of rugby came following "a rigorous and wide-ranging selection process".
Chief executive David Ellis told the club website: "We were very clear that we needed somebody who would help drive us onto the next level,"
"John's passion for the club and our style of play will stand us in good stead, and convinced us he is the right man for the job."
Ex-England international Easter will primarily be a coach next season, but the 37-year-old will retain a playing contract.
O'Shea, who has won the Premiership title, the Amlin Challenge Cup and the LV= Cup during his six years as Quins boss, will leave The Stoop to take charge of Italy's national team this summer.
The Irishman could add a second European title before his departure, with Harlequins to face Montpellier in the final of the European Challenge Cup on 13 May.
In a further change to the backroom set-up, Tony Diprose will become academy and global development director.
While much of our focus has been on the court, with the odd dash to Murray Mound to see what the punters have to say, it hasn't gone unnoticed that there are some Scots also working behind the scenes at SW19.
Olwyn Roy, from Tullibody, is one. She has been working at the championship for 30 years, mostly as a line judge.
The home economics teacher is a keen tennis player herself.
As an umpire she has seen some of the world's top seeds when they were youths, and jokes of her failure to recognise the talent of a certain teenager named Roger Federer.
The Swiss is now her favourite player.
"This is my 30th Wimbledon, I even did one where I was working in Australia for a year and I came back just for Wimbledon, so I've done 30 consecutive," she said.
She added: "We work hard all year to make certain we are selected to come down here.
"With grass, there's a special technique where you have to wait for the chalk, because sometimes if you're used to working on hard courts you'll call that bit more quickly and then you find you have a puff of chalk coming up, which obviously proves the ball is not out."
Another Scot who enjoys working at Wimbledon is Martin Swan, a former bank employee from Edinburgh.
Wearing his luminous orange vest, he is in charge of running a large section of the queue at the All England Club.
"As a member of the public, I think probably my second year living in London, I started queuing and I have been in the overnight queue," he commented.
"I have camped in the street when you could camp in the street in the old days.
"I've been involved in Wimbledon either as a customer or working here for nearly 30 years now."
Martin also managed to get closer to the action this year, with some work on the gangway of centre court.
"I'm pleased to have been on centre court I think for two of Andy Murray's matches," he said. "It's a great atmosphere."
So apart from the obvious - the internationally renowned tennis tournament, the sunny weather, the manicured grounds where you can rub shoulders with many celebrities, and, of course, the strawberries - what is it that keeps volunteers like these Scots coming back, year after year?
"There's an incredible sense of camaraderie amongst the stewards here," said Martin.
"|We generally only see each other once a year but as soon as we are back together we work really well as teams, we have a good laugh and the public like us as well."
Over the years, Olwyn has officiated some great matches including the 2008 final between the Williams sisters, and the 2007 final between Federer and Rafael Nadal.
And after seeing so many champions come and go, there are bound to be many stand out moments, which Olwyn savours when she can.
"It's everybody's dream to do a final so if you are lucky enough to get selected for the final those are the ones that are very memorable," she said.
"Occasionally it can be other matches where possibly it's just been an absolutely terrific match. You'll never forget them."
Asked if she planned on travelling back down in 2016 for the 31st consecutive year, Olwyn responded: "Definitely."
The new Afghan president is expected to ask his American counterpart to keep more troops in his country for longer.
Mr Obama has promised to end America's longest war by the end of his term, leaving only a small force to protect the US embassy.
It is believed Mr Obama will announce his troop decision later today.
The leaders will discuss troop numbers over a working lunch and in meetings, before taking questions during a press conference later this afternoon.
Originally, officials planned to cut the US troop presence to 5,500 by the end of 2015.
But with the prospect of a tough spring fighting season on the horizon, Islamic State militants trying to recruit on Afghan soil and other security concerns, officials are predicting the US will probably leave 9,800 American troops in the country long into next year.
US bases in Jalalabad and Kandahar, the Taliban capital until 2001, are central to the discussions.
President Ghani has requested that those bases remain open as long as possible, and US officials appear to be warm to that idea.
The lunch and meetings come just as gunmen killed at least 13 people in eastern Afghanistan overnight and, separately, a suspected US drone strike near the Afghan-Pakistani border killed nine militants.
However, Mr Ghani's presidency is a welcome change in the eyes of the White House, whose relationship with his predecessor grew increasingly strained in recent years.
When he assumed office, Mr Ghani, who lived in the US for more than a decade, almost immediately signed a security deal with American officials to keep US troops in the country beyond 2014.
The refusal of the previous Afghan administration, led by Hami Karzai, to sign the agreement generated consternation at the White House.
By contrast, Mr Ghani has made clear his appreciation for US support, which has included more than $60bn (£40.37bn) being invested in his country's military so far.
"We do not now ask what the United States can do for us," President Ghani said as he opened his US visit, invoking a quote by former US President John F Kennedy. "We want to say what Afghanistan will do for itself and for the world."
After a controversial election with disputed results, President Ghani agreed to share power with his main political rival, Abdullah Abdullah, who has taken the title of Chief Executive Officer of the country.
Six months into their term, the two leaders have made the trip to the US together in an effort to project unity, despite being unable to build a full cabinet.
In a ceremony at the Pentagon on Monday, Mr Ghani paid tribute to US soldiers who had fought in Afghanistan and thanked the US for its support.
"Each one of you has left a legacy," he said, noting that more than 2,200 Americans lost their lives and 20,000 were wounded in the conflict.
The Grecians are second-from-bottom in League Two and have not won at home since April, one of only two wins at St James Park in the whole of 2016 so far.
"I understand the dissatisfaction with a number of the supporters," he said.
"But it's important those people stay behind the team as this is a supporter-owned club, everyone's in it together and we have to have that mentality."
City conceded a late goal to lose 1-0 at Wycombe on Saturday - their eighth defeat in 11 league games after an injury-hit start to the season.
"There's a lot of will in the squad and a lot of effort and people behind them and we've just got to keep going with it," Tisdale added.
"We're going through one of those periods where that's all we can do.
"There's no point shirking it, but I believe in the players, they've put some real work in and we've just got to take that into next week."
The motion said many species are not covered by IWC rules, and criticised Japan's scientific whaling programmes.
The delegates' final act was to decide to hold meetings every two years.
Meanwhile, the Danish and Greenland governments will "reflect" on whaling options for Greenland's Inuit after the IWC denied a bid to raise quotas.
The options include setting quotas unilaterally without the IWC's explicit approval, or even withdrawing from the body. Either would be intensely controversial.
Nothing caused more controversy here, though, than South Korea's announcement that it was preparing to allow some of its fishermen to hunt whales under regulations permitting a catch for scientific research.
Japan has had such programmes in place since 1986, including an annual hunt in the Southern Ocean, which has been declared a whale sanctuary.
That was one focus of the resolution, tabled by Monaco, that called on the UN General Assembly to debate whale conversation.
Another was that whaling nations want the IWC's remit restricted to species that have been hunted, while others want it to work for the conservation of all cetaceans.
The resolution invited governments to "consider these issues in collaboration with the UN General Assembly, with a view to contributing to the conservation efforts of the IWC".
There was general acceptance that such a resolution should only go forward by consensus, and it was soon clear that consensus was absent.
Norway's Einar Tallaksen said issues regarding cetaceans "are not a matter for the UN General Assembly, but for the competent fisheries organisations, including the IWC".
As far as this meeting is concerned, the proposal is abandoned, though Monaco will work for it within the UN and is launching a "task force" of supportive nations.
"Clearly the whaling countries want to contain any discussion of their whaling inside the IWC," commented Patrick Ramage, director of the global whale programme with the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
"They don't want their diplomats at the United Nations to have to defend the indefensible."
On the final day of the IWC's annual meeting, held this time in Panama City, delegations were also mulling the implications of Denmark's decision to leave without a whale-hunting quota for the Greenland Inuit.
They came to Panama asking for increased quotas for humpback and fin whales, in addition to maintaining existing levels for minkes and bowheads.
The bid became more controversial after environment groups reported finding whalemeat on sale in many supermarkets and restaurants, and, with the EU against the expansion, the bid failed.
"We are going to go home and reflect, because this is a situation that needs to be handled with care," said Danish delegation head Ole Samsing.
Experienced observers noted that in previous years, Denmark has been willing to compromise its requests in order to get something agreed.
The EU would have supported a continuation of the existing quotas, but the Danes opted instead to leave with nothing.
"There can be no doubt that Denmark knew when it put the proposal to a vote that it would fail," said Sue Fisher, on behalf of the Washington DC-based Animal Welfare Institute.
"It could have walked out of here days ago with a perfectly adequate quota to meet the subsistence needs of indigenous communities in Greenland for the next six years, but it was prepared to lose everything for a handful of extra whales that, our recent surveys show, could well end up on the menu in tourist restaurants".
Japan's deputy commissioner, Akima Umezawa, said the vote against Greenland had been the most disappointing aspect of a discouraging meeting.
"Many pointed out the commercialism and the increased quota," he said.
"But commercialism is accepted by the definition of [aboriginal] subsistence whaling, and the increased quota was accepted and endorsed by the IWC scientific committee."
The issue is made more complex by the evolving relationship between Greenland, a hunting-based society of just over 50,000 people, and its former colonial ruler.
Several years ago, Greenland formally asked the Danish government to put its whaling outside the IWC's aegis, but it is understood that it would now prefer to remain within the organisation.
It is inconceivable that hunting will stop, so the question is how Greenland intends to go forward.
Its own interpretation of rules on aboriginal subsistence whaling (ASW) is that countries are entitled to set their own quotas, provided they are consistent with IWC scientific advice. Other countries disagree.
The US is also opening the door to unilateral action, with draft legislation introduced into Congress that would allow the government to set quotas if the IWC denied them.
Overall, many observers said this had been the most functional IWC meeting for years, with votes taken in an orderly fashion and a relative absence of grandstanding.
Six years ago, the pro- and anti-whaling camps were roughly equal in number.
Now, the anti-whalers clearly have the upper hand, and it was noticeable that many of the Caribbean delegations were down to a single person.
The decision to hold meetings every two years from now on is part of an ongoing process - largely driven by the UK and Australia - aimed at making the commission more functional and efficient.
Delegates concluded by selecting their first ever female chair, St Lucia's Jeannine Compton-Antoine.

The 37-year-old former England batsman re-signed with the county for this summer's competition.
But he was restricted to only two appearances because of injury, the last against Middlesex on 21 July.
"Surrey's loss last night means the end of career in England. What an amazing journey," he posted on Twitter.
"Thank you, Notts, Hants, Surrey, ECB & supporters!"
Pietersen will continue to play T20 cricket overseas as well as continuing his involvement in wildlife conservation programmes in South Africa.
He was hoping Surrey would make it through to T20 Blast finals day on 9 September, but they lost by six wickets to 2014 winners Birmingham Bears on Friday evening.
Marc Kasowitz said Mr Trump never sought to impede the investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
He suggested that leaks by Mr Comey should themselves be investigated.
Mr Comey testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday about events leading up to his sacking.
He went on the record with a number of explosive claims. Mr Comey said:
Mr Comey was leading one of several Russia investigations before Mr Trump fired him last month.
He also said he kept a written record of conversations with the president as he was "honestly worried he might lie" about them, and leaked details of one conversation - about the Michael Flynn investigation - after a version of it had already been published in the press.
As a result of that episode, a special counsel was appointed to lead an independent investigation into the Trump campaign's potential ties to the Kremlin.
When reporters asked Mr Trump after the testimony whether he thought Mr Comey was telling the truth, the president did not respond but simply smiled through pursed lips.
The president has rejected the allegation that anyone around him colluded with Russia and says the "real" story is leaks.
"Today, Mr Comey admitted that he unilaterally and surreptitiously made unauthorised disclosures to the press of privileged communications with the president," Mr Kasowitz told reporters.
"We will leave it to the appropriate authorities to determine whether these leaks should be investigated along with all the other leaks that are being investigated."
He also said in a statement that Mr Comey's testimony "finally confirmed publicly" that the president was not under investigation as part of any probe in Russian political meddling, and denied the claim that Mr Trump asked Mr Comey for his loyalty.
The former FBI boss remained largely composed throughout almost three hours of testimony but became impassioned when delivering his opening remarks.
"The FBI is honest. The FBI is strong. And the FBI is and always will be independent," he said in his opening remarks.
There is no known evidence of collusion between Russia and the US, and President Donald Trump has dismissed the story as "fake news".
For Donald Trump the good news from James Comey's testimony is that the former FBI director clearly said the president was not directly under FBI investigation at the time he was fired. The bad news was, well, everything else.
It's clear the president woefully mishandled this, for which he has paid a high price ever since. By unceremoniously sacking him, and offering a muddle of explanations for it, he created an adversary with both the means and the motivation to respond in the most damaging way.
The White House may claim today's testimony is a technical exoneration. Politically, however, it's a staggering blow.
The couple were married in Murray's home town of Dunblane last April and announced the pregnancy in the summer.
Confirming the news, the tennis star's agent said: "Andy and Kim had a daughter in the early hours of Sunday morning and the family are doing well."
Shirley Erskine, Andy Murray's grandmother said she was delighted at her great granddaughter's arrival.
Andy's mother Judy tweeted a photograph of Andy Murray's gold post box in Dunblane which has been adorned with pink ribbons, with the words "Dunblane baby love.......xxx".
The post box was painted gold when Andy won the gold medal at the London Olympics.
She later tweeted another picture of tennis balls and a dummy, with the caption "Tennis family #cute".
In the run-up to last month's Australian Open, Murray, said his family would be a "priority".
The world number two made it clear that he would have cut short his first grand slam of the year and flown home if the baby had arrived earlier than expected.
He said: "My child is more important to me, and my wife is more important to me, than a tennis match.
"It's a big change for me and my wife, but that's the current priority and I'll see after that.
"I have no idea how that will change things. I still love tennis."
Speaking from her home in Dunblane, Mrs Erskine said: "I am absolutely delighted, as you can imagine. It seems a long time that we've been waiting for this but all's well now as far as I know.
"I don't have any details I just know that I've got a great granddaugher so that is just lovely.
"All I could think of after Andy had finished playing his final [in the Australian Open] was 'Oh good, at least he'll get home now'.
"It's not easy getting home from Australia. He couldn't have been further away. Fortunately, he was home in plenty of time and all's well."
Mrs Erskine said the first she heard was a text saying "she's doing well" as she had missed the first multiple recipient text Andy had sent.
"I thought 'Oh something's happened'," she said. "So, I frantically texted him back, saying 'What's happened?, what's happened?'.
She said Andy then apologised as he realised she had not received the first message as she had an old phone.
"We didn't know what the baby's sex was going to be. Andy and Kim said from the outset that they didn't want to know."
Andy's other grandmother Ellen Murray, 82, said the tennis star phoned her on Monday to give her and husband Gordon the news.
Speaking from her home in Kilsyth, she said: "Andy phoned yesterday and said 'congratulations, you're a great granny'.
"He told me the baby was 8lb 10oz when she was born."
"It's wonderful news," she added. "We watched him in the Australian Open final and I think he just wanted to come home.
"I don't really know about her name yet but I hope we'll see them all soon. I'll be looking forward to a cuddle.
"Gordon is very happy too. They did a good job."
After being beaten in the final of the Australian Open, Murray tearfully told his wife he would be on "the next flight home".
Speaking to the crowd after the defeat, he gave a message to Kim, who was "watching back home".
He said: "You have been a legend the last two weeks, thank you so much for all of your support. I'll be on the next flight home."
Following news of the birth, sports personalities and politicians tweeted their congratulations, along with hundreds of members of the public.
Sports broadcaster Gabby Logan said: "Kim and Andy Murray have had a baby girl -huge congrats."
And in a note to Murray's mother Judy, the presenter added: "@judmoo - great news for Fed Cup team 2036..."
Presenter Annabel Croft, a former British number one tennis star, wrote: "Congratulations Kim & @andy-murray on the birth of their baby daughter. Fantastic news."
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "Lovely news. Congratulations to @andy_murray and Kim on the birth of their daughter. Wishing every happiness."
Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale tweeted: "It's a girl! Huge congratulations to Kim Sears and @andy_murray on their wonderful news."
The couple, both 28, met as teenagers in 2005 through tennis circles. They live in Surrey and married in Dunblane last April, cheered on by a large crowd of well-wishers.
Kim's pregnancy was confirmed publicly in August after they had told family and friends the news, following the 12-week scan.
Murray, the British number one and a double grand slam winner, has been crowned BBC Sports Personality Of The Year twice.
The Rome Statute which established the court has been ratified by 123 countries, but the US is a notable absence.
What is the court designed to do?
To prosecute and bring to justice those responsible for the worst crimes - genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The court has global jurisdiction.
It is a court of last resort, intervening only when national authorities cannot or will not prosecute.
Aren't there already several international courts?
Yes, but they either do different jobs or have a limited remit.
The International Court of Justice (sometimes called the World Court) rules on disputes between governments but cannot prosecute individuals.
The international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda have tried individuals for crimes against humanity, but only if they were committed in those territories over a specified period.
Unlike the international tribunals, the International Criminal Court is a permanent body.
Are there any time limits on what it covers?
The court has no retrospective jurisdiction - it can only deal with crimes committed after 1 July 2002 when the Rome Statute came into force.
Additionally, the court has automatic jurisdiction only for crimes committed on the territory of a state which has ratified the treaty; or by a citizen of such a state; or when the United Nations Security Council refers a case to it.
What kind of cases does the court pursue?
The court's first verdict, in March 2012, was against Thomas Lubanga, the leader of a militia in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He was convicted of war crimes relating to the use of children in that country's conflict and sentenced in July to 14 years.
The highest profile person to be brought to the ICC is Ivory Coast's former President Laurent Gbagbo, who was charged in 2011 with murder, rape and other forms of sexual violence, persecution and "other inhumane acts".
Other notable cases included charges of crimes against humanity against Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta, who was indicted in 2011 in connection with post-election ethnic violence in 2007-08, in which 1,200 people died. The ICC dropped the charges against Mr Kenyatta in December 2014.
Among those wanted by the ICC are leaders of Uganda's rebel movement, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which is active in northern Uganda, north-eastern DR Congo and South Sudan. Its leader Joseph Kony is charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes, including abduction of thousands of children.
The court has an outstanding arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir - the first against a serving head of state. When Mr Bashir - who faces three counts of genocide, two counts of war crimes and five counts of crimes against humanity - attended a African Union summit in South Africa in June 2015, a South African court ordered that he be prevented from leaving the country while it decided whether he should be arrested under the ICC warrant.
The South African government allowed Mr Bashir to leave and in the fallout a judge angrily accused the government of ignoring the constitution. The government in turn threatened to leave the ICC.
In 2015, the ICC began a preliminary investigation into the 2014 Gaza conflict. The Palestinian Authority submitted evidence to the court in June of what it claims were war crimes committed by the Israeli military. A UN report found evidence of war crimes by both Palestinian militant group Hamas and the Israeli military.
The ICC has been criticised, particularly by the African Union, for its focus on Africa. In the court's 11-year history it has only brought charges against black Africans.
The ICC denies any bias, pointing to the fact that some cases - such as the LRA in Uganda - were self-referred by the country affected, and some were referred by the UN.
Fatou Bensouda, the chief prosecutor of the ICC, who is Gambian, has argued that the ICC is helping Africa by its prosecutions of criminals.
"The ICC is working with Africa, and working for African victims, so I don't think the African Union should be against that," she said.
How can the court secure the arrest and trial of suspects?
The ICC has no police force of its own to track down and arrest suspects. Instead it must rely on national police services to make arrests and seek their transfer to The Hague.
The case of Mr Bashir illustrates the problem this can present for the court. Several ICC signatory countries, including Chad and Kenya, have refused to co-operate in his arrest.
A South African court did order that he be prevented from leaving the country, only for the government to override the order.
The African Union has instructed members not to carry out the ICC arrest warrant against him while it conducts its own investigation.
How does the system work?
The prosecutor begins an investigation if a case is referred either by the UN Security Council or by a ratifying state.
He or she can also take independent action, but prosecutions have to be approved by a panel of judges.
Both the prosecutor and the judges are elected by the states taking part in the court. Luis Moreno Ocampo of Argentina was the first chief prosecutor of the court. He has been replaced by Ms Bensouda.
Each state has a right to nominate one candidate for election as a judge.
Who has agreed to co-operate with the court?
The Rome Treaty has been ratified by 121 states so far, meaning they have bound themselves to co-operate. A further 34 have signed and may ratify it in the future.
Only one Arab state has ratified so far - Jordan.
Why isn't the United States involved?
During negotiations, the US argued that its soldiers might be the subject of politically motivated or frivolous prosecutions.
Various safeguards were introduced, and Bill Clinton did eventually sign the treaty in one of his last acts as president but it was never ratified by Congress.
The Bush administration was adamantly opposed to the court and to any dilution of US sovereignty in criminal justice, and the US threatened to pull its troops out of the UN force in Bosnia unless they were given immunity from prosecution by the ICC.
In a much-criticised decision, the UN Security Council voted on 12 July 2002 on a compromise that gave US troops a 12-month exemption from prosecution - renewed annually.
But the Security Council - prompted by then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan - refused to renew the exemption in June 2004, two months after pictures of US troops abusing Iraqi prisoners shocked the world.
The court's operation is seen as weakened without US involvement. However, Washington has not ruled out co-operation with the court in particular cases.
Are there other dissenters?
Yes, a number of important countries seem determined not to submit to the jurisdiction of the ICC. Some have not even signed the treaty, such as China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and Turkey.
Others, including Egypt, Iran, Israel and Russia, have signed but remain dubious and have not ratified.
It is unlikely that alleged crimes against humanity in those states will be prosecuted.
How does the ICC fit in with each nation's judicial system?
States that join the treaty may want to make sure that they themselves are able to prosecute all the crimes that it covers - otherwise the court may intervene.
Some governments have already introduced legislation to make changes to their own judicial systems.
Who is paying?
The states which take part. This will be according to the same rules that govern their contributions to the UN - roughly based on their national wealth.
The absence of the US in particular makes funding of the court more expensive for others.
Japan, Germany, France and Britain are among the the largest contributors.
The grant was on condition 50 jobs were created and 15 were safeguarded, with all remaining in place by 2020.
But Newsquest held two rounds of job cuts in 2016 and the hub shut in April.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) has now called for that recouped cash to be reinvested in "struggling" local newspapers.
Newsquest, whose papers include Newport-based South Wales Argus, opened the sub-editing hub in 2013.
A total of £340,000 in support, including the Welsh Government grant and £95,000 from the Skills Growth Fund, was given to the Newport project.
At its peak, the unit employed more than 70 people, sub-editing material written by reporters from 100 daily and weekly newspapers across the UK.
First Minister Carwyn Jones told AMs in March the Welsh Government would look to get the cash back if conditions attached to the grant to Newsquest were not met.
"Whilst Newsquest currently meet the terms and conditions of the grant, we were alert to the possibility that between now and 2020 we may wish to undertake further changes to our business," said a Newsquest spokesman.
"Although we have no current plans to do this, we believed it would be correct to return the grant, and Newsquest has therefore given back the £245,000 grant in full. This was entirely at our own volition."
NUJ Welsh organiser John Toner said it is a "lesson" for the Welsh Government as he said it "should have used the grant to support local newspapers and fund media start-ups rather than this profitable American-owned publisher".
He added: "That is why we are asking that the refunded money be used to aid new and struggling news enterprises."
The Welsh Government has been asked to comment.

Bravo, 33, allowed Harry Bunn's shot to go in through his legs as Huddersfield led 1-0 in the FA Cup fifth-round replay, before City went on to win 5-1.
Some City fans sarcastically applauded when he made a save later in the game.
But Guardiola said: "The performance from Claudio was amazing. He can start build-ups like no-one else can do."
Chile international Bravo was signed from Barcelona last summer to replace England international Joe Hart, but has faced criticism for his shot-stopping skills since arriving in a £15.4m deal.
He was dropped in January after conceding 16 goals from the previous 24 shots on target he had faced in the Premier League, with Guardiola picking 35-year-old Argentine Willy Caballero instead for City's past four Premier League matches and the Champions League last-16 win against Monaco.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager, 46, reiterated his confidence in Bravo before the FA Cup replay, only to see him easily let in Huddersfield's first effort on target.
Afterwards, Guardiola preferred to focus on Bravo's footwork.

"He reads when men are free. It is not easy to read that," he said.
"He gives us the continuity to play. What the fans express, I am not here to judge."
When Bravo stopped Huddersfield's second shot on target shortly before half-time, some City fans stood up and ironically cheered the save.
Guardiola appeared to turn around and glare at those seemingly mocking his keeper.
"He is strong enough," he said. "He was nominated with the five best goalkeepers in the world this year.
"I am safe with both goalkeepers I have. I am delighted and so happy he is with us. I know I can count on him."
Former England striker Alan Shearer on Match of the Day:
"I don't know what he was doing. He should not be beaten from there, it's straight at him, it went underneath him, poor goalkeeping. He has to do better."
Dr Rebecca Rumbul from the Wales Governance Centre thinks the party could win a seat as some are won by a form of proportional representation.
But she does not believe it will gain any MPs in Wales at next year's general election because of the "first past the post" system.
She spoke after UKIP won a by-election to see its first MP elected in England.
Thursday's victory for Nigel Farage's party led Prime Minister David Cameron to say the general election would be "the most important in a generation".
Meanwhile, Labour leader Ed Miliband said his party needed to "reach out" to disaffected voters.
A recent BBC Wales poll suggests support for UKIP ahead of the general election has doubled from 7% to 14%.
UKIP has already said it plans to open an office in the south Wales valleys.
UKIP Welsh MEP Nathan Gill predicts the party's current momentum can carry them to victory in at least one Welsh seat next May.
But Dr Rumbul told BBC Radio Wales it was more likely the party would be successful in the assembly elections in 2016.
She said people tend to vote differently in the different types of elections with UKIP performing strongly in the European elections in May in comparison to the general election in 2010.
"Because of the way the general election system works - the first past the post system - I do think it's unlikely that UKIP will get an MP from Wales," she said.
"However, our system in the Welsh assembly is much different and under that system it's actually quite likely that we may see some UKIP AMs returned in 2016."

Here's everything you need to know about the show.
James Corden is hosting the show live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 5pm(PT)/8pm(ET) on Sunday, 12 February.
If you're in the US, you can watch the ceremony live on CBS from 8pm ET. In the UK, you have to wait until 4Music screen the show at 8pm on Monday night. Good luck avoiding spoilers.
However, you can watch the red carpet coverage live on E! (151 on Sky, 156 on Virgin, 321 on BT) from 11pm on Sunday.
And BBC Music News LIVE will be reporting on the action throughout the night.
The show has a line-up to rival Glastonbury. Here's what to expect.
Other performers are likely to be announced in the run-up to the show, and there are usually a few surprises on the night itself.
There are 84 categories at the Grammys - including "best surround sound album" and "best notes" (C# is our favourite) - so if you're a musician and you don't get a prize, it's probably best to cut your losses and take up ostrich farming.
You can see the main nominees at the bottom of this page, or read the full, exhaustive list on the official website of the Grammy Awards.
The big fight is between Adele and Beyonce, who go head to head in the three main categories: Album of the year, record of the year and song of the year.
We predict Beyonce's politically-charged Lemonade will take the honours for album of the year; while Adele's Hello will take the others, which focus more on songcraft.
If we're right, it will be the first time Beyonce's won the main prize. Two years ago, she lost album of the year to Beck's Morning Phase, prompting Kanye West to throw all his toys out of the pram.
"Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyonce," he observed.
Beck declined.
Song of the year goes to the people who wrote the music and lyrics.
Record of the year recognises everyone who contributed - musicians, producers, artists, catering team, dog groomer, receptionist, Simon Cowell, etc.
Very much so. Photographs of the seating plans released on Friday show that Beyonce and Jay Z get the best seats in the house, cementing their position as pop royalty. Beyonce's sister Solange - nominated for best R&B performance - has to sit a row behind, resisting the urge to flick B's ear.
Adele sits next to Bruno Mars, while Lady Gaga has an aisle seat. And, in the most unlikely pairing of the night, J-Lo will have to make small talk with Barry Gibb.
The name was chosen in a contest - as the ceremony was previously known as the Gramophone Awards. Jay Danna, the contest winner, received 25 LPs as a prize from the Recording Academy.
Sturgill Simpson is the dark horse in the best album category. His nomination raised more than a few eyebrows from people who expected David Bowie's Blackstar to be honoured by the Recording Academy.
The bad boy of country music, Sturgill covers Nirvana songs and has publicly berated Nashville for being out of touch.
Could he do a Beck?
Adele gave an uncharacteristically pitchy performance at last year's Grammys - after a rogue microphone fell on her piano strings and knocked everything out of tune.
The Recording Academy have "spent a year trying to make it up to her," Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich told E! and they'll be tightening all the screws on all of the mic stands with an industrial-level power tool.
Undoubtedly, she'll be back to her usual, flawless self.
David Bowie, George Michael, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Sir George Martin, Sharon Jones, Glenn Frey, Prince Buster, Phife Dawg... 2016 was brutal - but that puts the Grammys in a pickle. They have a long history of musical tributes, but no-one wants this year's show to feel like a funeral.
"You've got a lot of people incredibly excited about being nominated," producer Kenneth Ehrlich told Rolling Stone. "I don't want to deny them by devoting a third of the show to people who've passed away."
However, organisers have announced there will be special segments devoted to Prince - possibly led by Bruno Mars - and George Michael.
Frank Ocean's Blonde was one of the most critically-acclaimed albums of 2016 - but it's nowhere to be seen in the Grammy nominations.
Don't call it a snub, though. The star simply didn't submit the record for consideration, citing his dissatisfaction with the way the Grammys treated black artists.
"That institution certainly has nostalgic importance," he told the New York Times. "It just doesn't seem to be representing very well for people who come from where I come from, and hold down what I hold down."
Kanye West, who's up for best rap album, vowed to boycott the Grammys if Frank Ocean wasn't nominated. We'll have to wait and see if he keeps his word.
Among the other major stars, Justin Bieber is allegedly skipping the show because he "doesn't think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers" (according to TMZ, anyway).
And Drake isn't going to make it to LA, because he's playing a show in Manchester... But that might not be such a bad decision. The show's ratings dropped to a seven-year low in 2016, meaning the star will make more money from a single concert than he would from three minutes' TV exposure.
It certainly seems likely. Adele, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and John Legend have all been outspoken critics of the new president.
The show has a history of protest. Pharrell, Beyonce and Common all spoke out against police killings of African-Americans two years ago; while Kendrick Lamar performed in chains last year, making a comment on discrimination in America's prison system.
Chance The Rapper could make history if his Coloring Book album snags any of the seven awards it's nominated for. The ebullient, gospel-inspired record is the first streaming-only release to be eligible for the Grammys.
Although he's locked out of the best album category, David Bowie has five other nominations - and is favourite to win best rock album. But don't place a bet just yet, as he only ever won one competitive Grammy in his life.
Rihanna is second to Beyonce as the night's most-nominated woman - she's up for eight awards - but she's likely to be overshadowed in the main categories. Her bold, experimental album ANTI should easily win best urban contemporary album, however.
And, while Kanye may complain, don't expect anyone to refuse their awards. Sinead O'Connor is the only artist to have rejected her Grammy outright; while Milli Vanilli are the only act to have their award revoked.

It emerged on Friday that Wigan striker Grigg and MK full-back Hodson would get the nod for the trip to France.
O'Neill has cut his squad from 28 players with Liam Boyce, Billy McKay, Daniel Lafferty, Ben Reeves and Michael Smith missing out.
Northern Ireland start Euro 2016 against Poland in Nice on 12 June.
O'Neill told each player on Wednesday if they would be involved in Northern Ireland's first appearance in a major tournament since 1986.
Grigg, who scored in Friday night's 3-0 friendly win over Belarus, beat Boyce and McKay to the final striker berth.
Smith and and Lafferty lost out to Hodson for the final full-back slot.
Northern Ireland take on Ukraine in their second Group C game in Lyon on 16 June and finish against world champions Germany in Paris five days later.
O'Neill admitted that his biggest selection dilemma was between Grigg and Ross County forward Boyce.
"It was very difficult to tell the players who were not going and it was hard choice between Will Grigg and Liam Boyce," he said at Saturday's squad announcement in Belfast.
"Liam had a great start to the season in Scotland before suffering a hand injury.
"Meanwhile, Will just kept on scoring - 28 goals for his team and helping them to promotion.
"So while it it was difficult decision, I think it was the right one."
Northern Ireland squad for Euro 2016 finals:
Goalkeepers: Alan Mannus (St Johnstone), Michael McGovern (Hamilton Academical), Roy Carroll (Linfield)
Defenders: Craig Cathcart (Watford), Jonathan Evans (West Bromwich Albion), Gareth McAuley (West Bromwich Albion), Luke McCullough (Doncaster Rovers), Conor McLaughlin (Fleetwood Town), Lee Hodson (MK Dons), Aaron Hughes (Free agent), Patrick McNair (Manchester United), Chris Baird (Derby County)
Midfielders: Steven Davis (Southampton), Oliver Norwood, (Reading), Corry Evans, (Blackburn Rovers), Shane Ferguson (Millwall), Stuart Dallas (Leeds United), Niall McGinn (Aberdeen), Jamie Ward (Nottingham Forest)
Forwards: Kyle Lafferty (Norwich City), Conor Washington (Queens Park Rangers), Josh Magennis (Kilmarnock), Will Grigg (Wigan Athletic)

The 18-year-old forward came off the bench to strike the ball past Trotters keeper Mark Howard from 20 yards.
And another Charlton sub Brandon Hanlan could have won it right at the death, but his header hit the side-netting.
Bolton had taken the lead through Gary Madine in the 53rd minute after good work from Liam Trotter on the wing.
The late equaliser will disappoint Bolton boss Phil Parkinson, who was making his first return to the Valley since being sacked by Charlton in 2011.
Both sides could have gone into the break a goal up with Charlton's Jason Pearce heading wide from a free-kick, and David Wheater seeing his effort cleared off the line and onto the crossbar.
There was a lengthy stoppage of play at the start of the second-half as Bolton's Mark Davies was stretchered off after landing awkwardly when making a tackle.
Despite the late setback, Bolton remain unbeaten in the league and stay top of League One.

The German giants have signed Manchester City and England Under-17 forward Jadon Sancho for a fee in the region of £10m.
The 17-year-old - who wanted to leave Manchester - had stopped training with the club to force a move. City did not give him permission to speak to any British clubs and a long-term deal was agreed with German side Dortmund.
Sancho has not played a first-team game for anyone, but was a regular in City's youth sides last season - scoring 20 goals in 35 games.
He scored five goals in six games - assisting another five - for England at the Under-17 European Championship this summer, as they lost the final to Spain on penalties.
Dortmund had not filled the number seven shirt left by Demeble, when he joined Barcelona for a fee of up to £135.5m in the second biggest deal of all time.
Sancho joined City from Watford in 2015, the then 14-year-old moving for a fee of about £500,000.

Police have been investigating MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton following a complaint regarding last year's Holyrood election.
It is alleged that he may have breached the legal spending cap and filed an incorrect and illegal election return.
His party denies wrongdoing. Mr Cole-Hamilton has not been suspended.
A Crown Office spokesman said: "The procurator fiscal has received a report concerning a 39-year-old male in connection with an alleged incident on 7 June 2016.
"The report is currently under consideration."
A Lib Dem spokesman said that the party had "full confidence" that there was nothing in the complaint.
He added: "It's now nine months since the complaint was first made and the police have yet to interview any one associated with the campaign.
"We are fully satisfied that all election arrangements and spending was done in accordance to the law. Everything was done by the book and any proceedings will show this."
The SNP called on the Lib Dems to suspend Mr Cole-Hamilton from the party "until investigations have concluded".
The track was swept away with part of the sea wall in early February, cutting off the service linking Cornwall and much of Devon with the rest of the UK.
A 300-strong Network Rail team has rebuilt the track at a cost of £35m.
Prime Minister David Cameron praised the "Herculean effort" of workers on round-the-clock shifts.
The first passenger train on the line was the 05:34 BST from Exeter to Paignton.

At London's Paddington station, sticks of rock were given out to celebrate the line reopening.
They were labelled: "Welcome back Dawlish! The orange army has rebuilt the railway so you can enjoy your journey to the South West again."
Mr Cameron, who travelled to Dawlish to mark the reopening, hailed it as "a great day" and said south-west England was "open once again".
The sea wall of the coast-hugging line at Dawlish was breached on 5 February, leaving tracks dangling in mid-air.
Repair work was under way before being hampered by another severe storm on the night of February 14 when huge waves damaged a line of shipping containers forming a breakwater and punched a new hole in the sea wall.
Then, on 4 March, engineers discovered 25,000 tonnes of a cliff face near Teignmouth just south of Dawlish had sheared away above the line.
It resulted in water jets being used to pummel the cliff face to create a controlled landslide.
Contractors created new 3.5m (11.5ft) deep concrete foundations into the breach in the sea wall before the track was re-laid.
In total, £15m was spent repairing the area outside Dawlish station where track had been left dangling.
It cost an additional £20m to repair tracks either side of the town.
Andy Crowley, from contractor Amco, said: "The amount of concrete that's gone in there, that will be there for at least 200 years, beyond a shadow of a doubt."
Julian Burnell, from Network Rail, said the repair of the breach was "very, very solid".
Network Rail chief executive Mark Carne said: "Our army of engineers has done an amazing job of putting back together a railway that was ravaged by the elements.
"They have overcome every obstacle thrown at them, winning many battles along the way to restore this critical piece of the network, ahead of schedule, and in time for the Easter holidays."
He thanked "hugely supportive and patient" local communities and businesses.
Local councils and tourism groups welcomed the reopening of the track ahead of the holidays.
Cornwall Council leader John Pollard said the reopening was "excellent news".

Suddenly, this small Devon railway town has come back to life.
After eight long weeks of silence, the tracks are once again carrying trains along this iconic stretch of Brunel's coastal line. The stationmaster's whistle is finally being heard.
There is an enormous sense of relief here. Many local people feared the repair-work would take much longer - which would have damaged the South West's tourism industry yet further.
There is much praise for the so-called "Orange Army" of fluorescent-clad engineers who have worked around the clock for two months in often-appalling weather conditions to rebuild the line.
I've spoken to dozens of relieved commuters who no longer face long diverted journeys to work involving a bus-replacement service. The bunting is out and a local brass band is entertaining the crowds on the platform at Dawlish station.
There are still important questions to be asked about the long-term resilience and viability of this line, but, for people here, those questions are for another day.
However, he added that "long-term solutions to ensure that there is a sustainable rail link to and from Cornwall" were needed.
"It is not acceptable for the main rail link to be shut for long periods of time and we look forward to seeing this commitment from the government," he said.
Sir Tim Smit, founder of Cornwall's Eden Project, said the closure demonstrated the need for south west England to have better infrastructure.
He said: "One of the problems I think we face down here is a sort of political inertia.
"Because we don't have, if you like, the levers of power to make us seem important enough, we get viewed by the capital as if it's still at the old days of the Cornish Riviera, with a few nice things to do for people who've got wealth to come down and have holidays.
"But actually it's a really thriving place. I mean, it's one of the hubs of the creative industries in Britain. Yet you wouldn't know that the way we're talked about".
Network Rail is now looking at creating a new inland route as a back-up to the Dawlish line.
Mr Cameron said he knew "how cut off people felt here in the south west after that terrible storm and it was so important to get this work done".
He said: "People talk about the south west as a great tourist destination, and of course it is and I'll be back here this summer, I can guarantee you.
"But it's not just that. This is also a hub of creativity, an area of vital industry, an area of important manufacturing and, of course, with Plymouth and all that entails, a vital area for the defence of our country."
The Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) Dreamliner, which departed from Jeddah at 02.32 BST and was due to land at 08:30, started to circle over the Peak District.
The plane landed at 12:28. It had a total of six hours of fuel reserves.
The airline said there was an issue with the trailing edge flaps and it was waiting for a dry runway.
The flaps are used to help control the speed and angle of an aircraft's descent.
A spokesman for Saudia said once the wet weather had cleared up in Manchester, the plane was able to land safely.
He said it was carrying six hours' worth of fuel reserves.
It is the second time in a month Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has declared the status.
Martin Horwood, Lib Dem MP for Cheltenham, said winter pressures were made worse "by management decisions".
Major incident status has been declared at several hospitals in England.
Staff are struggling to cope with the number of patients seeking emergency care.
Mr Horwood said people arriving at Cheltenham General had to wait hours to see a doctor as, since August 2013, there were no longer any emergency doctors providing overnight cover there.
He said Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust had implemented a system which took all unplanned admissions and routed them through A&E.
"You can see how the natural pressures of wintertime are being compounded by some of the management decisions that have been taken," said Mr Horwood.
A Gloucestershire Hospitals spokesman said it was "not immune" to the national shortage in emergency doctors but insisted as a trust, it had taken "a number of positive steps which had helped preserve high quality emergency care in Gloucestershire".
NHS figures show 30% of people using the two A&E departments had "non-urgent ailments".
Outwardly, there doesn't seem to be a major problem at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital's A&E department.
On Tuesday afternoon it was busy but not obviously more so than usual.
Five ambulances were parked outside the entrance to A&E and I saw one patient on a stretcher being wheeled inside.
At 16:30 GMT 27 patients were having to wait for up to 68 minutes to be seen.
One patient, Eleri Davies, 17, spent about an hour waiting with a sprained ankle.
"The wait hasn't been that bad. I was expecting it to be ages but it wasn't," she said.
Another patient, Laurence Harrington, 36, a tree surgeon from Gloucester, was treated after cutting his hand while cutting down a tree.
"I've had about five or six stitches. I was in and out in an hour," he said.
Labour councillor David Drew, who sits on Gloucestershire's Health Scrutiny Committee, said investigations into the situation would be made.
"Is it a lack of capacity or a series of problems that have blown up like a perfect storm?" he said.
Mr Drew said a meeting before Christmas appeared to suggest there was a "breakdown between the acute trust and the other parts of the health family".
"The biggest worry is nobody is in control of this - we've got to be doing something about this urgently."
Last week, the French government nationalised the STX France shipyard at Saint-Nazaire on the Atlantic coast to prevent a majority stake being taken by an Italian company.
The French government said it was seeking to defend France's strategic interests by retaining a 50% stake.
The French finance minister will resume talks on the deal in Rome on Tuesday.
The shipyard is the only one in France big enough to build aircraft carriers, and it also builds other large warships and cruise ships. The world's biggest cruise ship, Harmony of the Seas, was built there.
It was put up for sale after its biggest shareholder, the South Korean conglomerate STX, collapsed last year. The French government owned the remainder of the shares in the shipyard.
Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri and another Italian investor subsequently reached an agreement to buy a majority stake in the shipyard.
However, last week Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire announced that France had exercised a "pre-emption" right to buy back the stake from the Italians.
He said the reason was to protect France's strategic interests in matters of naval construction.
France proposed a 50-50 ownership deal with Italian state-owned Fincantieri, but the company rejected the idea.
However, Mr Le Maire said the proposition, which would allow France's strategic interests to be preserved, remained on the table.
He said he would travel to Rome on Tuesday to discuss it with Italian government ministers.
In a statement, Mr Le Maire said the decision to nationalise the Saint-Nazaire shipyard was only temporary. However, the move gave France time to negotiate the "best conditions possible" for the participation of Fincantieri in the shipyard, he added.
Italy has hit back against the French decision to prevent Fincantieri taking a majority stake. In a joint statement, Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan and Industry Minister Carlo Calenda said: "Nationalism and protectionism are not an acceptable basis for establishing relations between two great European countries.
"To work on joint projects you need reciprocal trust and respect."
Businessman Matthew Chapman, from Louth, Lincolnshire, was the only person on board the privately owned helicopter when it came down on 6 June.
The inquest heard Mr Chapman, 48, had dropped off two passengers shortly before the crash in the Baldwin Valley.
Coroner John Needham said the cause of death had "yet to be established".
The court heard Mr Chapman had set off from Milton Keynes at about 06:00 BST with two passengers on board his Bell Jetranger aircraft.
After travelling to the island, he dropped both of them off at the Creg Ny Baa, a popular viewing area for the annual TT races.
The court also heard that Mr Chapman had intended to refuel at Ronaldsway Airport before returning to the area to watch the races with friends.
But his helicopter came down at about 09:00 BST in a field on a hillside adjacent to the 33rd milestone on the Mountain Road.
Mr Chapman, whose body was found "trapped in wreckage", was pronounced dead at the scene.
A paramedic's report recorded "multiple trauma consistent with a helicopter crash".
Mr Needham said inquiries into the crash were being conducted by inspectors from the UK's Air Accidents Investigations Branch (AAIB).
The inquest has been adjourned to a yet-to-be fixed date.
Ibrahim Halawa, 20, the son of Ireland's most senior Muslim cleric, was arrested during anti-government protests in Cairo in August 2013.
He was due in court on Saturday.
Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan said his priority was to see Mr Halawa return to Ireland as soon as possible.
Mr Halawa was due to appear along with 463 others, charged with inciting violence, rioting and sabotage relating to the protests in Cairo.
Mr Flanagan said: "Our understanding is that the trial has been adjourned until 13 December as a number of the defendants were not present in the court. This is linked to heightened security concerns in Cairo, following planned protests in recent days."
The minister said the Irish Ambassador to Egypt, Damien Cole, led an embassy observer team at the hearing on Saturday and said officials from the embassy had attended all hearings to date.
Mr Flanagan said the Irish government would continue to use "every possible opportunity to underline our concerns" about this case to the Egyptian authorities, both "bilaterally and with the EU and other partners".
"Ibrahim's lawyers have submitted an application for his return to Ireland under Egypt's Decree 140 Law, and the government is giving this initiative its full support," he said.
"The Taoiseach [Irish prime minister] has been in direct contact with President al-Sisi asking him to give positive consideration to the Decree 140 application. I have had a number of contacts with my Egyptian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, endorsing the application for Ibrahim's immediate release.
"I discussed the case with Minister Shoukry most recently on November 1st, when I once again repeated our call for this citizen's immediate return to Ireland."
Mr Flanagan said "in light of today's developments", the Irish government would be pursuing further contacts at the highest levels with Egypt to address Mr Halawa's continued detention and to again call for his immediate return to Ireland.
"I want to reaffirm the government's and my own personal commitment to secure Ibrahim Halawa's return to Ireland as soon as possible and we will be continuing to examine and explore all possible options for action that can help to achieve that objective," he added.
Mr Halawa's solicitor, Darragh Mackin, said it was "deeply disappointing" but "entirely unsurprising" that his trial had been adjourned again.
"This is indicative of the fact that Ibrahim cannot get a fair trial, and therefore it makes the outstanding application for a presidential decree even more important," he said.
Mr Mackin said he had been in contact with the Irish department of foreign affairs and the taoiseach's office to "ensure that urgent action is taken to ensure that maximum pressure is brought to bear in the resolution of the outstanding decree".
Three months ago, Egypt rejected a call from the Irish government for the immediate release of Mr Halawa, whose family live in Dublin, under presidential decree.
The Egyptian government has also rejected allegations by the United Nations about his treatment in prison.
Mr Halawa's trial has now been postponed 16 times.
Earlier this month, Amnesty International held a vigil at Stormont to show support for a campaign calling for Mr Halawa's immediate release.
Mr Halawa's sister, Khadija, attended and called on the Irish government to do more to put pressure on the Egyptian authorities to release her brother.
The family has denied claims that Mr Halawa is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's oldest and largest Islamist organisation.
The Egyptian government has declared it a terrorist group, a claim the organisation rejects.
More than 1,000 people have been killed and 40,000 are believed to have been jailed since President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi led the military's overthrow of Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected head of state, in 2013.
The decision to ban the films came amid a rise in military tensions over the disputed territory of Kashmir.
The boycott was imposed after some Indian film-makers had banned Pakistani actors from working in Bollywood films.
Bollywood is popular in Pakistan, and the self-imposed ban is reported to have led to a dramatic loss of revenue.
The move followed a surge in violence in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Film distributors and cinema owners in Pakistan said they would resume screening the films on Monday.
Pakistan first imposed a ban on Indian films following the Indo-Pakistan war of 1965. The ban was eventually lifted in 2008.
Disputed Muslim-majority Kashmir has been a flashpoint for decades and has sparked two wars between India and Pakistan, which both control parts of the territory.
Today it remains one of the most militarised zones in the world.
In September, an attack on an army base in Uri in Indian-administered Kashmir claimed the lives of 18 soldiers. It was the deadliest of its kind for years.

She was reacting to concerns from the watchdog - the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority - about the way some Assembly Members have been overturning refusals of their expenses claims.
The body which runs Stormont, the Assembly Commission, is to meet on Wednesday to discuss the issue.
BBC News NI's political correspondent Gareth Gordon reports.
Thousands paid their respects, throwing rose petals over an ambulance carrying his coffin. A faction of the Pakistan Taliban claimed Wednesday's attack.
Sabri performed Qawwali devotional music from the Sufi tradition, an Islamic practice opposed by extremists.
He will be laid to rest in Paposhnagar Graveyard next to his father, Qawwali legend Ghulam Farid Sabri.
Ahead of his funeral, mourners gathered outside his home in Karachi.
I have never seen so many people come out for a funeral. A river of human faces, from all walks of life, filled up Liaquatabad's main avenue.
One reason for this huge attendance may be because Amjad Sabri was so well known across the country.
Sabri was also a friendly character. Neighbours said he would often play a carrom board game with boys from the area on the pavements outside their houses. And he was on intimate talking terms with shopkeepers running tea stalls, grocery shops or cigarette booths along the narrow street leading to his house.
Another unusual thing was the presence of women, who are normally never a part of funeral processions. Dozens of women lined up along the pavement and a nearby pedestrian bridge.
Several announcements were made from the public address system asking the women to climb down from the bridge as it could break. I saw there women aged 17 to 70 years.
One woman said it was hard for women to leave home during Ramadan because there was so much work, but "we have come because he was like a brother to us, and because he earned his fame by praising God".
Papers mourn 'the last Sabri'
There were demonstrations overnight in Lahore and Islamabad, condemning the killing of Sabri.
He died after two gunmen fired on his car in the busy Liaqatabad area of the city. A relative in the vehicle was also injured.
Sufism, a tolerant, mystical practice of Islam, has millions of followers in Pakistan but is opposed by extremists.
The Pakistan Taliban have been blamed for previous assaults on targets linked to Sufi Islam, although this is the first such attack in several years.
The militant group views Sufism as heretical because Sufi worship involves music and dance, and the veneration of saints.
A blasphemy case was filed against Sabri last year after he mentioned members of the Prophet Muhammad's family in a song.
It is not known if the shooting is related to that incident.
Qawwali music is the words of Sufi saints set to music, which aims to bring listeners into a trance-like state that helps them establish a close link with God.
The spiritual songs are a lyrical expression of love with a divine being, kept in time to the beat of Eastern musical instruments such as the "Tabla" drums and harmonium.
The devotional music, which dates back several centuries, is also known as "the music of the shrines", and has a special place in the indigenous Islamic faith of the Indian sub-continent.
The early Muslim preachers who came to India tended to assimilate with the local culture, and created a more tolerant and colourful version of the religion, unlike the revivalist creed of today's Taliban.
The shrines of those preachers became sites of pilgrimage for followers from across the religious divide, while devotional music and dance (already forming part of the Hindu faith) became a part of the ritual.
Qawwali music may have begun as spiritual music performed at the shrines of Sufi saints, but as now become a popular commercial music genre as well.

Amjad Sabri's killing has shocked the people of Pakistan, and there will be mourning for some days to come, but it is not going to significantly deepen the sense of insecurity which already pervades the country.
His fame derived from the mark that his father, Ghulam Farid Sabri, left on this genre by composing some of the most memorable Qawwali numbers from the late-1960s to the mid-1990s.
Amjad Sabri has gone around as the reincarnation of his father, performing many of those numbers and also experimenting with modern and more commercial forms of Sufi music.
The Sabri family's association with music dates back to the 17th Century, but Amjad Sabri was the only one among his siblings to take on the mantle of the family tradition. Many of his fans worry that this may be the end of a chapter in Qawwali singing.
Andy Fraser, 26, suffered multiple injuries at Gemini Corrosion Services Ltd in Montrose in September 2014, and died later in hospital.
A court was told Mr Fraser's death could have been prevented if guards had been fitted to the machine.
The firm provides specialist coating services to offshore oil companies.
Mr Fraser was operating a machine that took in lengthy metal pieces along a track before passing it across spray nozzles while the objects rotate.
Forfar Sheriff Court heard the piece being worked on had been treated beforehand giving it a surface texture "similar to coarse sandpaper".
Depute fiscal Gavin Callaghan said: "It would readily attach to fabrics such as the sweatshirt Mr Fraser was wearing under his overalls.
"It would attach in a similar way to velcro."
Mr Callaghan said a colleague passed the unit where Mr Fraser was working and realised something was wrong.
He said: "The other worker found Mr Fraser attached to a pipe being sprayed.
"He activated the emergency stop button but the pipe continued spinning.
"He went out and shouted for assistance and another colleague came and was able to turn the machine off."
The court heard that Mr Fraser was unconscious and emergency services were called.
Mr Callaghan said: "The air ambulance arrived and at that point he went into cardiac arrest.
"He responded to CPR after being given blood and was taken to Ninewells Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery, but died at 2am the following day."
HSE inspectors believe he had been attached to the spinning pipe for approximately two minutes before being found.
Mr Callaghan added: "No fixed or moving guarding had been fitted to prevent access to dangerous parts of the machine.
"Gemini relied on the operator remaining at the control panel away from the dangerous parts.
"If guards had been fitted the accident could have been avoided and the death would not have occurred."
Gemini Corrision Services Ltd, headquartered at Albyn Place, Aberdeen, admitted a charge under the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations.
The date of the offence spanned from November 1 2005 to September 17 2014.
Defence advocate Barry Smith said: "Most importantly, may I say the company formally tenders its most sincere condolences to the family of Mr Fraser.
"There was a failure to guard against obvious risks from the machinery."
Sheriff Pino di Emidio imposed a fine of £120,000 and gave the company six months to pay in full.
Barry - the nephew of Everton midfielder Gareth Barry, who also found the net on Saturday - smashed into the roof of the net two minutes after half-time to celebrate his first senior goal.
The defeat for Port Vale ended their unbeaten start to the season and also stopped them registering a fourth consecutive clean sheet.
Swindon started the better of the two teams but had it not been for resilient defending from Lloyd Jones they could have gone in at half-time trailing.
Jones made a last-ditch tackle to block what looked to have been a certain goal from Port Vale striker JJ Hooper in the 33rd minute.
However, Port Vale switched off early in the second half to allow Michael Doughty to run down the wing and play the ball into Barry, who left Vale goalkeeper Jak Alnwick watching the ball as it soared into the roof of the net.

Pat McCann put Sligo ahead on the stroke of half time before second-half goals from Aaron McEneff and Barry McNamee clinched a merited home win.
It was the third game in a row that Derry came from behind to win.
The Candystripes received another boost on Friday with boss Kenny Shiels signing a one-year contract extension to keep him at the club until 2018.
Derry started slowly and carved out just one decent chance in the first half, with Ronan Curtis' smart shot forcing Ciaran Nugent to make a good save with his legs.
Sligo were in the ascendancy before the break and deservedly took the lead in the first minute of stoppage time.
A corner was played short and McCann sent the ball sailing across a crowded square into the top corner of the net.
However it was all Derry in a much-improved second second half.
Rory Patterson was denied several times by the in-form Nugent but the brilliant goalkeeper's defences were finally breached after 64 minutes.
Good work by Josh Daniels down the left was finished off by McAneff, who drilled a low shot from the edge of the box past Martin for his seventh goal of the season.
McNamee clinched the winner when he stroked the ball into the far corner of the net after Sligo failed to clear their lines.
Derry are now assured of third place in the Premier Division. They complete the season away to St Patrick's Athletic next Friday night.
EU Council President Donald Tusk said the group's finance ministers needed to resume talks themselves within days.
Greece agreed to a third rescue package worth €86bn (£60bn; $94bn) last year and faces a looming debt payment.
However, it has been unable to unlock the next loan instalment after clashing with its creditors over more reforms.
The International Monetary Fund and other European partners are demanding that Greece implement further austerity measures.
They are looking to generate nearly €4bn in additional savings or contingency money in case Greece misses future budget targets.
But the left-wing government led by Alexis Tsipras has said it will not agree to any "additional actions" to what it had already signed up to last summer.
A special ministerial meeting was supposed to be held on Thursday, but Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is in charge of the Greece negotiations, called it off.
There are worries that Greece may default on €3.5bn in debt payments due in July if an agreement is not reached soon.
Last summer, a crisis erupted after Athens defaulted on its debt payments and raised the spectre of an exit from the eurozone.
But Athens has faced stiff resistance from voters to the austerity measures, which include politically charged changes to its pension and tax system.
It is already looking to implement spending cuts that will amount to 3% of the country's gross domestic product or €5.4bn euros by 2018.
Greek shares slumped by more than 4% during the trading day on fears of renewed economic uncertainty in the country.

Brathwaite hit Stokes for four consecutive sixes when West Indies needed 19 from the final over.
"To Ben, tough luck, commiserations to you and the England team. I wish he has a long and successful career ahead of him," said Brathwaite.
"He is an absolute legend in his own right."
In the series victory over South Africa in January, Stokes hit the fastest 250 in Test history, seven months after scoring the fastest Test hundred at Lord's, off only 85 balls, against New Zealand.
"You shouldn't forget what he has done for England in the past couple of months," Brathwaite added.
"A lot of people can be on him, but just remember Stuart Broad was hit for six sixes by Yuvraj Singh and his career has gone on the up ever since."
England coach Trevor Bayliss said Stokes, 24, was "the heart and soul" of his team, adding no-one in the dressing room would be blaming the Durham all-rounder for the final-over loss.
"If we had a game tomorrow, he'd put his hand up to bowl the last over again," said the Australian.
"If everyone put in half as much as Stokesy does, we'd go a long way.
"It doesn't matter whether he is batting, bowling or fielding, he gives you 100% until there's nothing in the tank.
"The more of those type of cricketers we can produce, the better for England."
Bayliss, though, believes English cricket remains on the up.
"Obviously the final was disappointing, but I'm extremely proud of the way they played through this last few weeks," he said.
"As long as we keep playing good cricket and someone has to do something remarkable to beat us, we'll win a lot of games."

Mark Wood, a team-mate of Stokes for both England and Durham,told BBC Radio 5 live Brathwaite was a "nice lad" and his comments were "spot on".
But he was disappointed with Marlon Samuels for criticising Stokes in a post-match news conference.
The West Indies batsman, who scored 85 not out from 66 balls, criticised "nervous" Stokes' for both his bowling and his sledging.
"I'm a bit biased as Stokesy is my pal, but it's a bit of a cheap shot and I don't think it's the right thing to say at that time," said Wood.
"You've got to play hard on the field but be humble and gracious off it.
"Marlon has played a great innings but now people are talking about his stupid comments after the game."
But the sixty-minute session in which Facebook's founder was first interviewed by a journalist from Wired, then joined on stage by three mobile operators, was one big yawn, a missed opportunity.
Okay, the subject of the session - Facebook's mission to get people in the developing world online via something called internet.org - was not, on the face of it, controversial.
And Mr Zuckerberg was allowed to paint his business, in that typically happy-clappy Californian way, as motivated only by a desire to enrich more lives through an internet connection.
But there are some nagging questions to be asked about internet.org. It may sound great that mobile phone users in Kenya, for instance, are getting free internet access to sites like Wikipedia, one local Kenyan news site, BBC Swahili - and, of course, Facebook.
But who acts as the gatekeeper for this walled garden - and what about those other local news sites that aren't on the site and have to charge for access?
And what price net neutrality in Africa? A two-speed internet has just been ruled out in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission. But the laudable mission of internet.org could end up creating fast lanes for those deemed worthy by Mr Zuckerberg and his lieutenants.
Then there's the thorny question of Facebook's relationship with mobile phone operators. It was amusing to reflect that the three mobile companies represented on the stage could probably be gobbled up for breakfast by the hugely wealthy social network without a second thought.
Mobile networks are seeing their revenues threatened by messaging apps like WhatsApp, bought by Facebook a while back. Meanwhile, they are still much more heavily regulated - Deutsche Telekom's boss made a call in Barcelona for internet firms to face the same level of regulation.
But on stage the mobile operators joined in the love-in, praising Mr Zuckerberg's campaign for increasing the flow of data across their networks.
Facebook's founder was briefly asked about regulation. His answer, somewhat bizarrely for the chief executive of a major communications company, was that he did not understand the subject - "I'm not a regulator".
He kept repeating this phrase and was allowed to laugh off the very idea that regulation was anything to do with him.
The self-congratulatory session ended with little light shed on how the fractious relationship between the social network and the companies which have built the internet's infrastructure might develop.
But some time soon - just as Google has already discovered - the regulators will come knocking. Mr Zuckerberg will need to have some answers then.
The man had claimed Facebook would not allow his real name as it could be considered offensive.
But he later said on Facebook his real name was "Joe Carr" (or perhaps joker).
He said what had started as a joke between friends "became a prank that made a fool out of the media".
But he said it also brought out the best in people and gave encouragement to people with "truly interesting and idiosyncratic names".
The hoaxer is of Vietnamese origin. His name was given as Phuc Dat Bich - when properly pronounced in Vietnamese, which is a tonal language, it sounds like "Phoo Da Bi".
Facebook have not responded to BBC requests for comment.
I have to admit I fell for the prank by Mr Bich Phuc Joe, or whoever he is.
In the newsroom, dealing day-in-day-out with news that's often about disasters, both natural and man-made, the story of an unfortunately named person who thanked the community for their support seemed appealing.
Being Vietnamese, I knew that Bich was not a common surname (but not impossible) in Vietnam, but many immigrants change their names or get them in the wrong order when registering in their new countries. Vietnamese names are highly confusing to say the least.
After the story came out on the BBC News website, I received many emails from readers saying it had made them laugh - I hope they are still laughing now, even though we've all been hoaxed.
The Facebook user, whose profile still shows him as Phuc Dat Bich, had said back in January that he found it "highly irritating the fact that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it".
He posted a picture of his passport showing his name, and said he had had his Facebook account "shut down multiple times". Posts under that name date back to at least 2014.
The story was picked up last week - first by social media then by the world's media, including by the BBC.
Earlier this week, he even went as far as thanking his supporters, saying he hoped he had "played a part in brightening your days".
But in a surprise on Wednesday he said: "Do you remember the story; The boy who cried wolf?
"Imagine that boy grew up into a mischievous man with 21st Century technology at his finger tips.
"What started as a joke between friends, became a prank that made a fool out of the media.
But he also said Facebook "needs to understand that it is utterly impossible to legitimise a place where there will always be pranksters and tricksters".
Mr Bich/Carr said his "ordeal" had taught him "not to trust the credibility of the media" and that it "goes to show that an average joe like myself can con the biggest news sources with ease".
But he also praised the response to his prank saying it "didn't bring out the anger and darkness that we often see on the internet, but it brought a levity and humanity in a time we need it most."
It is not clear if he photoshopped his passport. Physically altering a valid passport would be illegal.
Update 27 November 2015: This story has been amended to remove references to the man's name from the headline.
It comes as the Greek government and its international creditors blamed each other for failing to reach a deal over economic reforms.
That failure is holding up the release of €7.2bn (£5.2bn) in bailout funds.
About €30bn was withdrawn from Greek bank deposits between October and April, the central bank added.
The central bank also warned the country's economic slowdown would accelerate without a deal.
"Failure to reach an agreement would... mark the beginning of a painful course that would lead initially to a Greek default and ultimately to the country's exit from the euro area and, most likely, from the European Union," the Bank of Greece said in a report.
"Striking an agreement with our partners is a historical imperative that we cannot afford to ignore."
Greek finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, when asked if there could be an agreement at the meeting of euro zone finance ministers in Luxembourg on Thursday, said: "I do not believe so."
He said preparatory work for the meeting had not gone far enough for a deal.
Greek shares fell sharply again. The Athens General Index closed 3.2% lower which takes its loss for the past four trading sessions to almost 19%.
Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann was in Athens on Wednesday in a last-ditch bid to end the standoff.
"For Europe to be stronger, it must show solidarity and support to any country which needs it," he said during a meeting with Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos.
That came ahead of a meeting of euro zone finance ministers on Thursday although officials have played down expectations of a make-or-break decision being reached.
The Austrian chancellor's comments followed a harsher critique from European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, who on Tuesday accused the Greek government of misleading voters, as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accused the EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF) of trying to "humiliate" his country.
Greece has two weeks remaining to strike a deal with its creditors or face defaulting on an existing €1.6bn (£1.1bn) loan repayment due to the IMF.
The country has already rolled a €300m payment into those due on 30 June.
Peston: Will ECB keep Greece afloat?
Mr Juncker said the Greek government had not told the truth about its latest reform proposals.
"I am blaming the Greeks [for telling] things to the Greek public which are not consistent with what I've told the Greek prime minister," Mr Juncker said.
Mr Tsipras has said that the lenders wanted to raise VAT on electricity.
Is Greece close to Grexit?
Other Greek ministers have criticised suggestions to increase sales tax on medicines.
But Mr Juncker said: "I'm not in favour, and the prime minister knows that... of increasing VAT on medicaments and electricity. This would be a major mistake."
"The debate in Greece and outside Greece would be easier if the Greek government would tell exactly what the Commission... are really proposing," he added.
Mr Varoufakis claimed that EU proposals did include VAT increases: "Juncker either hadn't read the document he gave Tsipras - or he read it and forgot about it."
Elsewhere in the eurozone, Portugal's short-term borrowing costs rose sharply on Wednesday, with yields on six-month treasury bills jumping from minus 0.002% to 0.044% at the country's latest debt auction.
The rise came despite an assurance to investors from Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho that Portugal would not be "the next to fall" in the event of a Greek default.

In 2014, Barry Hughes, 38, was fined for illegally obtaining £1,287,955 for two mortgages, and laundering £150,000.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday, his QC Gordon Jackson said Hughes had offered to repay £500,000 to bring the matter "to a complete end".
He told the pre-proof confiscation hearing the Crown claimed the "benefit figure" from Hughes' crimes was £5.9m.
But he warned if the proof hearing went ahead as planned, it could take up to six months.
The defence counsel said: "Standing the way the law is we would require all transactions, £5.9m which have gone through his account and have to be spoken to, challenged or whatever."
Mr Jackson said it was up to the defence to prove that all these transactions were legitimate.
He said: "There are about 1,500 transactions for which evidence will require to be led, allowing 20 minutes per transaction one can begin to calculate.
"The estimation, I'm horrified to say to you, is over 150 court days."
Mr Jackson said he did not think the Crown would accept Hughes' £500,000 offer "in the hope presumably of getting something else more in the future which they will never get".
Sheriff Paul Crozier continued the case for another pre-proof hearing and urged both sides to adopt a "mature and realistic attitude".
Hughes was jailed in March 2013 for 43 months but his sentence was overturned and he was fined £45,000.
He had lied about his wife's income on mortgage applications in 2004 and 2006.
He claimed his wife Jacqueline made £160,000 from her business McDonald Interiors - but divorce papers lodged by her in 2006 stated she was "financially dependent" on her husband.
He also admitted two money laundering charges - for receiving £128,885 after selling the first property and spending £30,000 towards a Rolex watch.
A damning report has already criticised care agencies for not protecting the young girl, identified as Autumn.
Det Supt Nick Wallen, of West Yorkshire Police, said it accepted the findings, adding that it was "unforgivable" the girl was not believed by officers.
A gang of 12 men had abused the girl over 13 months in Keighley.
More on this and other West Yorkshire stories
The men who sexually exploited the vulnerable teenage girl received jail sentences of up to 20 years in February.
From the age of 13 she was made to have sex in various locations in Keighley, including an underground car park and a church graveyard.
Information identifying the girl as being at risk from harm was "not acted on", said the serious case review.
Mr Wallen said: "We have failed this young girl, as she was at the time, on a number of levels."
She was reported missing more than 70 times and the force now understood the links between girls going missing and sexual grooming, he said.
At the time officers had been taken away from investigating her disappearance to patrol areas for burglary as the force was "driven by targets", he explained.
Mr Wallen hoped the victim had received "some comfort" from the force's "very significant investigation" that eventually led to the men's imprisonment.
There had been an "enormous cultural overhaul" of the force's treatment of vulnerability and sexual exploitation and "offending on the scale we've seen could not happen again now", he added.
Alexandru Visinescu, 89, ran the notorious Ramnicu Sarat prison from 1956 to 1963, where inmates were allegedly tortured and starved.
At least 12 people are said to have died as a result of the abuse.
Mr Visinescu denied the charges, saying he was just following orders.
Prosecutors had sought a 25-year sentence, arguing that Mr Visinescu oversaw an "extermination regime" at the Ramnicu Sarat prison camp in the east of the country.
Nicknamed "the prison of silence" because detainees were held in solitary confinement, the facility housed intellectuals, dissidents, priests and others deemed enemies of the Communist Party.
Mr Visinescu can appeal against the 20-year sentence handed down on Friday.
The court also ordered him - along with the finance and interior ministries - to pay €300,000 (£212,000; $328,000) compensation to descendants of prisoners who brought a civil lawsuit, according to Romania's state-run news agency Agerpres.
Mr Visinescu, whose trial began in September, is the first former prison commander to be jailed in Romania over abuses in the Communist-era justice system.
The trial of a second commander, Ion Ficior, who was in charge of the Periprava labour camp, began in April.
More than half a million Romanians were held as political prisoners in the 1950s as the country's Communist government sought to crush dissent.
An official report published in 2006 said between 500,000 and two million people were killed or persecuted by the former Communist authorities.
Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu was toppled and executed in a bloody uprising in December 1989.
He was killed on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele on 31 July 1917.
Some weeks later his poem won the prestigious chair prize at the Welsh National Eisteddfod cultural festival held in Birkenhead, Wirral.
A new chair will be presented at an event to mark the 100th anniversary.
Hedd Wyn, the bardic name of Ellis Humphrey Evans, born on 13 January 1887 in Gwynedd, was already a poet of some renown.
His death represented so many who marched off to war never to return, according to the Merseyside Welsh Heritage Society and the Welsh National Memorial and Hedd Wyn Society in Flanders.
In September, Hedd Wyn and others from Wales who fell in battle will be remembered in a poetry and arts festival to be held in Birkenhead Park.
A stone marks the spot where the eisteddfod was held 100 years ago and where Hedd Wyn won his posthumous prize - the Black Chair of Birkenhead.
The centrepiece of this year's event will be the awarding of a new chair designed by students in Flanders, a gift from the Flemish Hedd Wyn Society - a group of people who honour his memory.
Dr D Ben Rees, chairman of the Merseyside Welsh Heritage Society, said the 1917 eisteddfod had been a "huge occasion" due to the numbers of Welsh people living in the area.
"Wales was very much part of our heritage here on Merseyside," he said.
The society is to restore the stone and incorporate details of Hedd Wyn.
Dr Rees said the festival was being used to "remind people of the sacrifice made by Welsh lads from the churches and chapels on Merseyside".
About 220 men, members of a Welsh chapel in Bootle, fought in World War One, he said.
The initial intention had been to donate the Hedd Wyn Centenary Chair to this year's National Eisteddfod to be held on Anglesey, but that did not prove possible.
The design has come from a competition involving furniture design students at the Thomas More University in Mechelen, between Brussels and Antwerp.
The chair was originally planned to be a unique commission but, after learning about it, the Flemish government asked for a second to be made which it plans to give as a gift to the Welsh Government.
Erwin Ureel, from the Welsh National Memorial and Hedd Wyn Society in Flanders, said Hedd Wyn's Black Chair was "highly symbolic" because it was designed by a Flemish furniture maker living as a refugee in Birkenhead.
"We thought at the centenary this is a perfect moment to more or less repeat the story and bring another chair to Wales as Hedd Wyn's Centenary Chair," he said.
The chairs will be made from railway sleepers which were found buried in a farmer's field near the battlefield.
Hedd Wyn died at a crossroads just outside the Flemish town of Langemark.
The place is known now as the site of the Dragon Memorial, dedicated to all those from Wales who served in World War One.
He is buried not far away at Artillery Wood Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery.
Both locations will be the focus of events in July to mark the centenary of his death.
Mr Ureel said: "Hedd Wyn is a symbol for all the Welsh men who fought in the area.
"In commemorating Hedd Wyn we are commemorating all the people of Wales who were here with us in Flanders and fought here nearly 100 years ago."
It owns 65% of the Southern franchise through Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) and expects its entire rail division to fall "slightly below" estimates.
For the first six months of the year, turnover on GTR services is forecast to slide by 4%.
Journeys on Southern have been severely disrupted by strikes.
Poor service is expected to continue on Thursday and further industrial action could take place on Friday unless GTR can reached an agreement with the rail drivers union, ASLEF.
Joe Spooner, transport analyst at Jefferies, told the Reuters news agency that Go-Ahead could be facing a further £3m hit from the strike action.
Go-Ahead said: "The GTR team continues to work towards a resolution to these issues and provide the best possible service to customers under the circumstances.
"In doing so, we expect to incur additional costs in this financial year."
The company also said its full-year results would be affected by increased costs from bidding for rail franchises in overseas markets.
Go-Ahead also operates the Southeastern and London Midland rail services, where it expects revenue to rise by 2.5% and 5.5% respectively for the first half of the year.
The company added that its bus business was performing well and first-half revenues were forecast to rise by about 1%.
Usually, the students would want the glory. And they had, just a couple of days previously. But their families talked them out of it.
A few weeks earlier, the Stanford researchers had received an unsettling letter from a shadowy US government agency. If they publicly discussed their findings, the letter said, it would be deemed legally equivalent to exporting nuclear arms to a hostile foreign power.
Stanford's lawyer said he thought they could defend any case by citing the First Amendment's protection of free speech. But the university could cover legal costs only for professors. So the students were persuaded to keep schtum.
What was this information that US spooks considered so dangerous? Were the students proposing to read out the genetic code of smallpox or lift the lid on some shocking presidential conspiracy?
No: they were planning to give the International Symposium on Information Theory an update on their work on public key cryptography.

The year was 1977. If the government agency had managed to silence academic cryptographers, they might have prevented the internet as we know it.
To be fair, that wasn't their plan. The World Wide Web was years away. And the agency's head, Adm Bobby Ray Inman, was genuinely puzzled about the academics' motives.
He felt cryptography - the study of sending secret messages - was of practical use only to spies and criminals.
Three decades earlier, other brilliant academics had helped win the war by breaking the Enigma code, enabling the Allies to read secret Nazi communications.
Now Stanford researchers were freely disseminating information that might help adversaries in future wars to encode their messages in ways the US couldn't crack.
His concern was reasonable. Throughout history, the development of cryptography has been driven by conflict.
Two thousand years ago, Julius Caesar sent encrypted messages to far-flung outposts of the Roman empire - he'd arrange in advance that recipients would simply shift the alphabet by some predetermined number.
For example, "jowbef Csjubjo" - if you substitute each letter with the preceding one - reads "invade Britain".
That kind of thing wouldn't have taken the Enigma codebreakers long to crack. Today, encryption is typically numerical: first, convert the letters into numbers and then perform some complicated mathematics on them.
The recipient needs to know how to unscramble the message by performing the same mathematics in reverse. That's known as symmetrical encryption. It's like securing a message with a padlock, having already provided a key.
The Stanford researchers wondered whether encryption could be asymmetrical. Could you send an encrypted message to a stranger you'd never met before which only they could decode?
Before 1976 most experts would have said it was impossible. Then Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman published a breakthrough paper. It was Hellman who, a year later, would defy the threat of prosecution by presenting his students' work.
That same year, three researchers at MIT - Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman - turned the Diffie-Hellman theory into a practical technique, called RSA encryption, after their surnames.
These academics had realised that some mathematics are a lot easier to perform in one direction than another.
Take a very large prime number - one that's not divisible by anything other than itself. Then take another. Multiply them together. That gives you an extremely large "semi-prime" number, one divisible only by two prime numbers.
It turns out it's exceptionally hard for someone else to take that semi-prime number and figure out which two prime numbers were multiplied together to produce it.
Public key cryptography works by exploiting this difference.
In effect, an individual publishes his semi-prime number - his public key - for anyone to see. And the RSA algorithm allows others to encrypt messages with that number, in such a way that they can be decrypted only by someone who knows the two prime numbers that produced it.
It's as if you're distributing open padlocks for the use of anyone who wants to send you a message which only you can unlock. They don't need to have your private key to protect the message and send it to you.
They just need to snap shut one of your padlocks around it.
In theory, it's possible for someone else to pick your padlock by figuring out the right combination of prime numbers. But it takes unfeasible amounts of computing power.
In the early 2000s, RSA Laboratories published some semi-primes and offered cash prizes to anyone who could figure out the primes that produced them.
Someone did scoop a $20,000 (£16,000) reward - but only after 80 computers worked on the number non-stop for five months. Larger prizes for longer numbers went unclaimed.

But Prof Hellman had understood something the spy chief had not.
The world was changing and electronic communication was becoming more important. Many private sector transactions would be impossible without secure communication.
You take advantage of this every time you send a confidential work email, or buy something online, or use a banking app, or visit any website that starts with "https".
Without public key cryptography, anyone would be able to read your messages, see your passwords and copy your credit card details.
Public key cryptography also enables websites to prove their authenticity - without it, there'd be many more phishing scams. The internet would be a very different place and far less economically useful.
To his credit, the spy chief soon accepted that the professor had a point and no prosecutions followed. Indeed, the two developed an unlikely friendship.
But Adm Inman was right that public key cryptography would complicate his job.
Encryption is just as useful to drug dealers, child pornographers and terrorists as it is to you and me paying for something on eBay.
From a government perspective, perhaps the ideal situation would be if encryption can't be easily cracked by ordinary folk or criminals - thereby securing the internet's economic advantages - but government can still see everything that's going on.
The agency Adm Inman headed was called the National Security Agency (NSA). In 2013, Edward Snowden released secret documents showing just how the NSA was pursuing that goal.
The debate Snowden started rumbles on. If we can't restrict encryption only to the good guys, what powers should the state have to snoop - and with what safeguards?
Meanwhile, another technology threatens to make public key cryptography altogether useless: quantum computing.
By exploiting the strange ways in which matter behaves at a quantum level, quantum computers could potentially perform some calculations significantly more quickly than regular computers.
One of those calculations is taking a large semi-prime number and figuring out which two prime numbers you'd have to multiply to get it. If that becomes easy, the internet becomes an open book.
Quantum computing is still in its early days.
But 40 years after Diffie and Hellman laid the groundwork for internet security, academic cryptographers are now racing to maintain it.

Graham Palmer unearthed the unexploded British Army grenade in Gunthorpe, Peterborough, while digging a drainage trench with a pick axe.
He said bomb experts told him the relic once had a 20-metre (66ft) "kill zone".
"I didn't know what to do with it, so I lobbed it and took cover in the conservatory," said Mr Palmer.
He uncovered the explosive on Saturday after striking some surrounding stones while working in his back garden.
After prising the metal object out of the ground, he said it immediately reminded him of his old toy Action Man grenades.
He decided to launch it across his back garden and take shelter but when nothing happened after "three or four minutes", Mr Palmer alerted police.
RAF Wittering Bomb disposal experts arrived and identified it as a Mills grenade, used by the British Army between 1915 and 1972, but could not date it more accurately owing to its condition.
Mr Palmer said they told him some "terrifying facts" given that he had levered it out of the ground minutes before.
He said: "There is a kill zone on these things of 20-30m (66-98ft), with a maiming zone of 50m (164ft), and there's me sitting on the deckchair no more than 15m (49ft) away having a cup of tea."
The grenade was X-rayed before being detonated elsewhere.
An RAF Wittering spokesman said: "If a member of the public ever finds something of this nature we would urge them not to attempt to touch it or move it.
"They must call the police straight away."
Cambridgeshire Police said it was not known how the device ended up in the garden but it was "non-suspicious".
Safdar Hussain appeared in private at Dundee Sheriff Court accused of sexually assaulting the woman during a car journey in the city on 18 October.

The Harry Potter author was acclaimed for The Cuckoo's Calling, about a war veteran turned private investigator called Cormoran Strike.
The book had sold 1,500 copies before the secret emerged in the Sunday Times. Within hours, it rose more than 5,000 places to top Amazon's sales list.
Rowling said she had "hoped to keep this secret a little longer".
The author described "being Robert Galbraith" as a "such a liberating experience".
"It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation, and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name," she said in a statement.
Rowling said her editor, David Shelley, had been "a true partner in crime".
By Ed LowtherBBC News
While the book has zoomed up the bestseller charts of online outlets, Rowling enthusiasts keen to get their hands on a paper copy immediately might struggle.
High Street booksellers appear to have been caught completely unaware by the announcement, and are finding their meagre stocks are unable to match demand.
"We had one copy, but we sold it last week," says lead bookseller Holly Popple of Waterstones in Piccadilly, central London. The few other copies scattered around sister branches have now also been sold or reserved, she reports.
Hatchard's too, a nearby bookshop dating back to 1797, is bereft of copies: the few they had trickled off the shelves in recent weeks.
Meanwhile Brett, from Daunt Books in Marylebone High Street, says: "We had one or two copies this morning, but they've all disappeared by now.
"Everybody's after it."
"And to those who have asked for a sequel, Robert fully intends to keep writing the series, although he will probably continue to turn down personal appearances," she added.
One reviewer described The Cuckoo's Calling as a "scintillating debut", while another praised the male author's ability to describe women's clothes.
A clue that Rowling was behind the novel was that she and "Galbraith" shared an agent and editor.
The book was published by Sphere, part of Little, Brown Book Group which published her foray into writing novels for adults, The Casual Vacancy.
Crime writer Peter James told the Sunday Times: "I thought it was by a very mature writer, and not a first-timer."
While crime author Mark Billingham, who reviewed the book ahead of its publication in April, said he was "gobsmacked" at the revelation.
Rowling also caught out others with her new guise.
Kate Mills, fiction editor at Orion Books, admitted she had turned down the crime novel, which she described as "well-written but quiet".
"So, I can now say that I turned down JK Rowling. I did read and say no to Cuckoo's Calling. Anyone else going to confess?" she tweeted.
Sales of the novel have rocketed since the true identity of its author was revealed.
The "Movers and Shakers" section of Amazon, which charts gains in sales by the hour, says sales of the book are currently up by more than 507,000%.
A spokesman for Waterstones booksellers said: "This is the best act of literary deception since Stephen King was outed as Richard Bachman back in the 1980s."
In a tweet, its Oxford Street branch joked: "SPECIAL OFFER: For today only, ALL of our books were written by JK Rowling!"
Others also took to Twitter to react to the news.
Comedian Michael Moran posted: "Idea for publishers: 1: Reveal that ALL books were written by JK Rowling. 2: Sales of all books soar by 150,000%. 3: Industry saved."
Author Ian Rankin wrote: "So a debut novelist, garnering good quotes from famed authors for the cover plus good reviews, can expect to sell only a few hundred copies."
While an account named Dumbledore's Beard TM posted: "JK Rowling is a genius and proper badass."
And another named the Dark Lord tweeted: "JK Rowling secretly wrote a book under a different name. How very Half-Blood Prince of her."
The fictitious Galbraith was supposed to have been a former plain-clothes Royal Military Police investigator who had left the armed forces in 2003 to work in the civilian security industry.
In previous interviews, Rowling has said she would prefer to write novels after Harry Potter under a pseudonym.

Emergency services - including a heli-med helicopter - were sent to the scene following the incident which took place at about 11:20.
The road was shut for about two-and-a-half hours as a result of the accident involving a lorry and a van.
Police Scotland said the man driving the van had been taken to hospital suffering from leg injuries.
Philipp Schindler, the firm's chief business officer, said Google would also tighten advertising safeguards.
He added that as well as removing content, its YouTube team would revisit the guidelines on allowable videos.
The move came after several firms withdrew their ads when some appeared next to extremist content on YouTube.
Several high profile companies, including Marks and Spencer, Audi, RBS and L'Oreal, have pulled online advertising from YouTube, which is owned by Google.
In a blog post, Mr Schindler said: "Anyone with a smartphone can be a content creator, app developer or entrepreneur.
"Google has enabled millions of content creators and publishers to be heard, find an audience, earn a living or even build a business.
"We have a responsibility to protect this vibrant, creative world - from emerging creators to established publishers - even when we don't always agree with the views being expressed.
"But we also have a responsibility to our advertisers who help these publishers and creators thrive."

He added: "We have strict policies that define where Google ads should appear and in the vast majority of cases, our policies and tools work as intended. But at times we don't get it right.
"Recently, we had a number of cases where brands' ads appeared on content that was not aligned with their values.
"For this, we deeply apologise. We know that this is unacceptable to the advertisers and agencies who put their trust in us. "
A recent investigation by the Times found adverts from a range of well-known firms and organisations had appeared alongside content from supporters of extremist groups on YouTube.
Last week, ministers summoned Google for talks at the Cabinet Office after imposing a temporary restriction on the government's own adverts, including for military recruitment and blood donation campaigns.
Mr Schindler added that Google would be "hiring significant numbers of people and developing new tools....to increase our capacity to review questionable content for advertising".
Dominic Jackson, 35, was reported overdue after leaving for a weekend trip from Portsoy in Aberdeenshire.
His kayak was found near Lybster in Caithness. A body later found in the Lybster area was confirmed as his.
Mr Jackson's family have set up a charity to promote sea safety and the use of personal locator beacons (PLBs).
The campaign - called PLanB - has already raised thousands of pounds.
The statement said: "Sadly, Dom was most likely already dead before anyone even knew he was missing, an outcome which could have so easily been avoided had he been aware of and taken basic safety gear.
"Dom's family - father Jeremy, brothers Stuart and Leighton, sisters Kirstie, Kate and Ellie together with his large extended family and friends - have all undergone a tremendous ordeal and in the midst of their grief are determined that Dom's life will not have been lost in vain.
"A PLB can be bought as a present to a loved one, a gift to yourself or can even be hired if the costs of owning one are prohibitive."
Mr Jackson was originally from Uckfield in East Sussex but later moved to Fettercairn in Aberdeenshire.

"Everything was pretty much on," said McIlroy, who is recently back from a "lads holiday" in Ibiza. "I controlled my ball flight really well which is the key to me playing well in these conditions and on these courses.
"I've been working the last 10 days on keeping the ball down, hitting easy shots and taking spin off it and I went out there today and really trusted what I practised."
"I'm driving the ball really well and I feel if I can get driver in my hand and have an advantage on the field I should do it.
"Going out this morning in these conditions I thought anything in the 60s would be a good score so to shoot something better than that is pleasing."

View a gallery of protest action taken by some of the web's highest profile websites
Users attempting to access the site see a black screen and a political statement: "Imagine a world without free knowledge."
The user-generated news site Reddit and the blog Boing Boing are also taking part in the "blackout".
However, Twitter has declined to join the shutdown.
Wikipedia, which attracts millions of hits every day, is opposed to the US Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) and Protect Intellectual Property Act (Pipa) being debated by Congress.
The legislation would allow the Justice Department and content owners to seek court orders requiring search engines to block results associated with piracy.
The site's founder, Jimmy Wales, told the BBC: "Proponents of Sopa have characterised the opposition as being people who want to enable piracy or defend piracy".
"But that's not really the point. The point is the bill is so over broad and so badly written that it's going to impact all kinds of things that, you know, don't have anything to do with stopping piracy."
The message replacing the normal Wikipedia front page on the internet says: "For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopaedia in human history. Right now, the US Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia."
The site was still available on mobile phones, however.
Google.com also joined the protest, blacking out its logo and linking to an online petition urging Congress to not censor the web.
It is an unprecedented protest, says the BBC's Steve Kingstone in Washington. Analysts say it is the first major test for the young and disorganised internet industry against powerful media interests with many lobbyists in Washington.
Sopa's supporters in the House of Representatives say the legislation is designed to stop revenue flowing to "rogue websites". A similar bill, Pipa, is making its way through the US Senate.
On Saturday the White House issued astatement that appeared to side with critics of the legislation.
It said: "While we believe that online piracy by foreign websites is a serious problem that requires a serious legislative response, we will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risk, or undermines the dynamic, innovative global internet."
The US bills are designed to block access to sites containing unauthorised copyright material.
Content owners and the US government would be given the power to request court orders to shut down sites associated with piracy.
Advertisers, payment processors and internet service providers would be forbidden from doing business with infringers based overseas.
Sopa also requires search engines to remove foreign infringing sites from their results, a provision absent in Pipa.
Full explanation on Sopa and Pipa
Despite the hint of a presidential veto, Wikipedia said that the English site's administrators had decided tostage its first ever public protestbecause the bills "would be devastating to the free and open web".
It added: "We don't think Sopa is going away, and Pipa is still quite active. Moreover, Sopa and Pipa are just indicators of a much broader problem. All around the world, we're seeing the development of legislation intended to fight online piracy, and regulate the internet in other ways, that hurt online freedoms."
However, when asked whether Twitter would join the blackout, its chief executive,Dick Costolo, tweeted: "Closing a global business in reaction to single-issue national politics is foolish."
In a Twitter conversation with Wikipedia's founder Jimmy Wales, Mr Costolo later clarified that his comment was not meant to be read as a "value judgement" about other organisations involvement in the action.
The anti-piracy legislation still has high-profile supporters including News Corporation's chairman, Rupert Murdoch.
Over the weekend he tweeted: "So Obama has thrown in his lot with Silicon Valley paymasters who threaten all software creators with piracy, plain thievery."
He later added: "Seems like universal anger with Potus [President of the United States] from all sorts of normal supporters... Whole entertainment industry employs 2.2 million [on] average salary $65,000. Good jobs and expanding foreign earnings. Made in America, too!"
Sites taking part in the shutdown went offline for 24 hours from midnight Eastern Standard Time (05:00 GMT) on Wednesday.

Disney, who came third in the race on Ballyallia Man in 2015, said: "To ride a winner here is very, very special."
The David Pipe-trained Rathlin Rose was the 13-8 favourite and came through to claim the extended three-mile contest by four and a half lengths from Ardkilly Witness.
The annual meeting at Sandown is more than 150 years old and restricted to horses owned or leased by those who are serving or have served in the Royal Artillery.
"I've been phenomenally lucky," Disney said. "I've been amazingly well looked after - people have had it far worse than I have. Some don't make it back.
"It was quite frustrating when there was a lot of fuss for finishing third in 2015 - anyone who is in this wants to win it. It's just nice to go a few places better now."
Pipe, who trains Rathlin Rose at Pond House stables in Somerset, said: "It's fantastic. He's inspirational to everyone. It puts things into context.
"I didn't appreciate how big a thing it is. Guy was very excited about it. He was speechless afterwards and just said 'thank you'."

All the stories of service personnel who fight to rebuild their lives after suffering life-changing injuries act as inspiration, none more so than Guy Disney's.
He had been a winning point-to-point jockey before the Afghan incident, and applied for a riding licence afterwards, but the authorities were not at all keen.
There then followed a lot of the proverbial blood, sweat and tears to get one before Disney's efforts were finally rewarded in late 2014.
The emotion of this occasion was high, and it was impossible not to be touched on hearing him speak of there being "a lot of things to think about, like the lads who aren't here".
British Transport Police has issued a warning about the "illegal and potentially fatal consequences" of walking on the line at Wester Hailes.
In one incident two boys aged about 10 missed being hit by a high-speed train by just a few seconds.
Witnesses who have seen people on the line are being urged to come forward.
PC Niall Bonnar, of British Transport Police (BTP), said it was "enormously worrying" that primary school age children were putting themselves in "grave danger".
"The children seem to be oblivious to the risks that trespassing and playing near the railway presents," he said.
"They also seriously endanger the safety of others working, and travelling, on the railway, and the foolishness of their actions cannot be underestimated.
"Children, mostly young boys, have been captured on CCTV running between the platforms at the station, and astonishingly back again, as well as walking off the end of the platforms."
He warned that there was also a danger from the overhead power lines, as the voltage passing through the lines was "more than enough to kill".
BTP officers have already increased their patrols in the area and have visited the local schools to raise awareness of the dangers.
A ScotRail spokeswoman said: "We do not tolerate crime of any kind, and fully support the efforts of the British Transport Police to further reduce trespass incidents and other crimes on the railway."
The "Rhodes Must Fall" group met to discuss its next move after Oriel College said the monument would stay.
The group says Rhodes, a 19th Century businessman and politician in southern Africa, represents white supremacy.
The university said it had already invited the group to help it achieve an "ever-more inclusive community".
The group issued seven demands, including a call for Oxford to "acknowledge and confront its role in the ongoing physical and ideological violence of empire".
A university spokesman said the institution was "engaged in constructive and productive dialogue with students on a range of equality and diversity issues".
He said: "Last Friday, we re-extended our invitation to Rhodes Must Fall to join other students in this effort to achieve an ever-more inclusive university community. In particular, we wish to discuss the need to address the under-representation of black and minority ethnic (BME) students... We hope they will accept this opportunity."
Campaign organiser Sarah Atayero said: "We continue to believe that the removal and relocation of the monument to Cecil Rhodes is critical for Oxford to reckon with its past, and for Oxford to acknowledge the present-day issues it faces around racism and representation."
Oriel College denied claims that donors threatened to withdraw more than £100m of funding if the statue was removed.
Rhodes was a student at Oxford and a member of Oriel College in the 1870s and went on to become prime minister of the Cape Colony in the 1890s.
He also gave his name to the historical region known as Rhodesia, which is now Zambia and Zimbabwe.
When Rhodes died in 1902, he left money to Oriel College. A scholarship programme in his name has so far been awarded to more than 8,000 overseas students.
The "Rhodes Must Fall" campaign began in South Africa, where a Rhodes statue was removed, and the movement was adopted by campaigners in Oxford.
On Thursday, the college said the statue should remain but it would add "a clear historical context to explain why it is there".
It said: "The college believes the recent debate has underlined that the continuing presence of these historical artefacts is an important reminder of the complexity of history and of the legacies of colonialism still felt today."
Louis Moult put the visitors in front when he was left unmarked in the middle of the box and headed into the net.
David Wotherspoon drew Saints level when he cut inside and hit a sweet strike off the inside of the near post.
Liam Craig and Graham Cummins both went close before Scobbie headed in a late winner for Tommy Wright's men.
There was little between the sides, with both seeming tense and conservative with so much at stake at this stage in the season.
There was a grim fascination to the way that these two sides - both containing players capable of imagination and verve - so assiduously subdued each other. The industry was relentless, but it seldom flowed with confidence or aplomb.
Motherwell endured a set-back even before kick-off, when Scott McDonald was ruled out after being named in the starting line-up. He was replaced by Wes Fletcher, and the visitors were denied the darting, and often cantankerous, menace that McDonald provides up front.
Even so, through sheer diligence alone they carved out the opening goal. It came from a corner kick, which had always seemed their most likely route to a breakthrough on a bobbly, often unpredictable playing surface.
James McFadden was entrusted with the deliveries, although he failed to keep one corner kick in play and swung his fist at the corner flag in frustration. His next attempt was accurate enough, though, as his ball into the six-yard box was met by Moult's leap, and the striker steered his header into the net.
St Johnstone were roused by the goal, and perhaps also by the growing sense of discontent from the home fans, with the team having failed to win in seven league games. Craig ought to have equalised, but sent his first-time effort from Wotherspoon's cross high over the bar.
Moments later, Wotherspoon took responsibility himself. From a throw-in, the ball was worked to him and he skelped a shot at goal that swerved in mid-air to wrong-foot the Motherwell goalkeeper Connor Ripley.
Mark McGhee switched from the 3-4-1-2 formation that he started with to a back four at half-time, bringing Stevie Hammell off the bench. It did not greatly alter the nature of the game, although the visitors were the first to threaten after the break when Hammell's free-kick was headed over by Moult.
Tommy Wright used his substitutions to move to having two strikers upfront, bringing Cummins and John Sutton off the bench. That provided some impetus, and Murray Davidson ran into the space behind them only to hit a tame effort at Ripley. Moments later, Craig met Wotherspoon's delivery but sent his effort across goal and wide.
The game seemed destined to finish 1-1, but there was still time for Scobbie to deliver a decisive blow,
That comment, from Lee Kuan Yew, the most quotable of Asian leaders, must have been made with his tongue at least partly in his cheek. His exceptionally long tenure on the diplomatic stage, his brilliant intellect and ruthless pragmatism earned Lee the accolade of "statesman" from more world leaders than any other personality in the Asia Pacific region.
But what about closer to home, in South East Asia? There, Lee Kuan Yew's image is more complex.
"Some countries are born independent. Some achieve independence. Singapore had independence thrust upon it," he wrote in 1998. When Singapore was expelled from Malaysia in 1965, Lee Kuan Yew was pessimistic about its prospects.
He was acutely conscious of its vulnerability, a small, largely Chinese island-state sandwiched between two much larger Muslim countries, Malaysia and Indonesia, both of which were hostile. He was also worried about the consequences of American reverses in Vietnam.
A self-professed Machiavellian, Lee believed raw power determined the fate of nations, and Singapore had little.
He wanted the might of the US to anchor his country, but expected its Soviet rival to challenge this in Asia. Early on, he anticipated the rise of China, which, he believed, would inevitably view South East Asia as its own backyard.
So the formation of Asean (the Association of South East Asian Nations) in 1967, at the prompting of the then-Thai and Indonesian foreign ministers, was initially regarded with some scepticism by the Singaporean leader, although he also saw that it was essential his country play a leading role, in the hope of advancing Singapore's acceptance as an equal player in the region.
Lingering disputes over territorial waters and many other issues continued to dog relations with Indonesia and Malaysia for several years. There were also differences between Singapore and its neighbours over a Malaysian proposal to establish a zone of neutrality in Asean, which would have required an end to all foreign bases. Lee wished to preserve his country's close military ties with the US.
But with his first visit to Indonesia under President Suharto in 1973, Lee Kuan Yew showed one of his abilities to great effect: to build strong working relationships with other South East Asian leaders. He was quick to understand the enigmatic Indonesian general, and establish a pragmatic, trusting rapport with him, which lasted until Suharto's death in 2008.
He was later able to form a similar, though less warm and trusting, relationship with long-standing Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad, whom he recognised as a man who, for all of his animosity towards the Chinese of Singapore, shared Lee's ambition to move his country forward.
They also both rejected Western criticism of their approach to human rights in the 1990s, leading to the vaguely articulated notion of "Asian values", which prioritised stability and economic progress over individual freedoms.
His other great contribution to Asean was as interlocutor with the rest of the world, in particular the US and China.
His clear-headed strategic views influenced a succession of US presidents and officials, in particular the Cold War Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and George Shultz. He made a ground-breaking visit to China in 1976, when the rest of Asean was still deeply suspicious of Beijing's role in sponsoring insurgencies, and received Deng Xiaoping in Singapore two years later, as he led his country out of its international isolation in the late 1970s.
The new Chinese leader was fascinated by Singapore's blend of authoritarian rule and entrepreneurial success, and Lee used his ties with China to persuade it to take a more conciliatory approach towards South East Asia. More than anyone else, he was able to articulate Asean's concerns to the great powers - in his view, "to ensure its interests were taken into account".
As Jusuf Wanandi, one of the architects of Suharto's pragmatic New Order wrote following the Singaporean's death: "Lee, with his sharp thinking, especially on the future of East Asia and Asia Pacific, had become the spokesperson for the region, in particular to the West, and that was indeed an important role for him to play. And regarding the future strategic development of the region, no one can replace him."
It was however the US defeat in Vietnam in 1975, and then the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in late 1978, that compelled Asean to elevate itself to more than just a talking-shop for easing internal disputes and building trust, which is largely what it was until 1975. Lee Kuan Yew now played a central role in constructing a more robust Asean architecture.
First, because of his conviction that political stability came out of economic progress, he took every opportunity to promote trade within Asean, raising the idea of a free trade area as early as 1973.
This suited Singapore, which had pinned its survival on having one of the world's freest trade and investment regimes, but it proved far more difficult to overcome the suspicion and vested interests of neighbouring countries. The Asean Free Trade Area finally came into effect only in 1994.
Second, with his conviction that Asean could never be militarily strong or cohesive enough to provide for its own security unaided, he pushed for a framework that would keep the superpowers engaged and in dialogue with the region. This eventually gave rise in the 1990s to the Asean Regional Forum, a unique, annual gathering that brings together the foreign ministers of China, the United States, Russia, Japan, the European Union, North and South Korea, among others, to hammer out international security issues.
"You cannot replace the reality of power by just talk," he said in 1993. "You may diminish suspicions and fears - and that is a very great achievement."
Blunt-spoken and stubborn in his convictions, Lee was not always able to overcome differences with his Asean partners. Indonesia and Malaysia were uneasy about his rapprochement with China, although he did give a private assurance that Singapore would not normalise relations with Beijing until Indonesia did, and honoured that promise.
Likewise, he worried about those two countries' approaches to Vietnam during the stand-off over Cambodia in the 1980s, fearing that the Soviet-backed Vietnamese would undermine Asean unity. He harboured no long-term enmity towards Communist Vietnam, he said, but stuck to the principle that invading other countries was unacceptable. The Vietnamese seemed to accept that explanation, honouring Lee with the role of an official economic advisor in 1992 after the Cambodia issue was settled.
In later years some of Lee's outspoken comments about his neighbours continued to cause friction. Relations with Indonesian Presidents BJ Habibie and Abdurrahman Wahid were frosty after he cast doubt on their leadership abilities. His continued criticism of the pro-Malay Bumiputera policy in Malaysia sparked a war of words with Dr Mahathir. He viewed Thailand as a capricious and unreliable partner.
As he often said, he cared little whether he was liked or not.
But the eulogies to Lee Kuan Yew from neighbouring countries are not insincere. He played an outsize role in building the stability and prosperity of this region, and will long be remembered for that.
In an exclusive video interview with AFP news agency, he said "there was no order to make any attack".
More than 80 people were killed in the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April, and hundreds suffered symptoms consistent with a nerve agent.
Witnesses said they saw warplanes attack the town but Russia says a rebel depot of chemical munitions was hit.
Shocking footage showed victims - many of them children - convulsing and foaming at the mouth. Sufferers were taken to hospitals across the border in Turkey.
Syria 'chemical attack': What we know
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said on Thursday that allegations of a chemical attack were "credible" based on a preliminary examination of the evidence.
Mr Assad accused the West of making up events in Khan Sheikhoun so it had an excuse to carry out missile strikes on the government's Shayrat airbase, which took place a few days after the alleged attack.
"It's stage one, the play [they staged] that we saw on social network and TVs, then propaganda and then stage two, the military attack," he told the AFP, questioning the authenticity of the video footage.
Mr Assad also said the Syrian government had given up its chemical arsenal in 2013, adding "even if we have them, we wouldn't use them".
Since 2013, there have been continued allegations that chemicals such as chlorine and ammonia have been used against civilians, by both the Syrian government and rebel groups.
Turkey and the UK say tests show Sarin or a Sarin-like substance was used in Khan Sheikhoun, which would be the first time since 2013 that a prohibited chemical had been used on such a scale.
President Assad's flat denial that his country has used chemical weapons and that last week's incident was a fabrication concocted by al-Qaeda and Washington does not square with the "case for the prosecution".
Indeed it sits uneasily with the Russian version of events which says that a rebel warehouse was hit by a bomb from a Syrian warplane thus releasing the chemical agent.
President Assad's denials must contend with the fact that samples from some of the victims were analysed in Turkey and the results indicated a Sarin-like agent was used.
Then there is the detailed narrative, provided by the Americans who tracked the aircraft they say launched the attack, from its base, to the target location, and then home again.
There are too the many videos that were released immediately after the attack showing the victims. Their timing and location have been verified by independent researchers.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May said on Thursday it was "highly likely" the Assad regime was behind the attack. "Apart from anything else, we believe it's the only regime that has the capability to make such an attack," she added.
Turkey, which treated many of the wounded, says it has "concrete evidence" Sarin was used.
The US, UK and France reacted angrily on Wednesday after Russia, Syria's key ally, vetoed a draft UN resolution condemning the alleged chemical attack. It is the eighth time Russia has cast a veto at the UN Security Council over the Syrian conflict.
However, both the Turkish and Russian leaders have agreed, in a telephone conversation, to support the OPCW investigation.
Mr Assad told AFP that he would only allow an "impartial" investigation, involving "unbiased countries... to make sure that they won't use it for politicised purposes.
The US had, until its Shayrat attack, limited its involvement in Syria to removing the so-called Islamic State (IS) from its stronghold in the city of Raqqa.
The Pentagon admitted on Thursday that it accidentally killed 18 members of the Syrian Democratic Forces, its ally in the fight against IS, in an airstrike on Monday, just south of the town of Tabqa, some 40km (25 miles) from Raqqa.
More than 300,000 people have lost their lives and millions of people have been displaced since a peaceful uprising against Mr Assad six years ago turned into a full-scale civil war.
Pete Nienow, of Edinburgh University, received the Polar Medal, previously given to Sir Captain Scott, Sir Ernest Shackleton and Sir Edmund Hillary.
The medal is approved by The Queen and is given to those who have undertaken expeditions in extreme hardship.
It is also given to explorers who make an important contribution to scientific knowledge of the Polar regions.
It was first awarded in 1904 as a reward to those who took part in Captain Scott's first expedition to Antarctica.
Prof Nienow is a glaciologist specialising in how glaciers and ice sheets respond to climate change.
His research in, and passion for, the Arctic began in 1995 with a visit to remote Ellesmere Island in the Canadian High Arctic, which has a population of just 150 people on an island almost the size of Britain.
Since 2004, Prof Nienow has been on more than 10 expeditions to the Greenland Ice Sheet, firstly to undertake fieldwork to help calibrate the European Space Agency's CryoSat-2 satellite and more recently, to improve our understanding of the links between ice melt, ocean circulation and how ice masses will respond in a warming world.
During the two decades he has been working in the Arctic, the ice masses there have been losing ice at an increasing rate as a result of global warming, which is amplified in the Arctic regions.
Prof Nienow's work is focused on improving our understanding of the processes that are driving this ice mass loss and in enhancing our ability to predict future ice volume and thus sea-level change.
He said: "I am very honoured to be awarded the Polar Medal, which is in reality the result of the wonderful support that I have received over many years from numerous colleagues, and especially my PhD students and post-doctoral researchers.
"It makes those times spent holed up in a tent enduring blizzards at -35C on the Greenland Ice Sheet worthwhile.
"The medal will also inspire my continued efforts in researching the Arctic region as it undergoes a period of intense change."
World Orienteering Championships and orienteering's Scottish Six Days event were held in the summer.
VisitScotland said consultants had calculated the economic boost from the events which brought 8,117 people to north and north east Scotland.
Guest houses, restaurants and shops were among businesses that benefited.
Stages of the two competitions were held near Inverness, Nairn and Forres.
The 25-year-old left-back spent time in the youth set-ups at Leeds and Chelsea and has had stints at Ross County and Colchester United and Chester.
Gordon has also had loan spells at Kilmarnock, Scunthorpe, Peterborough, Birmingham and Yeovil.
Meanwhile, Charlie Carter, a 19-year-old midfielder who came through the club's academy, has agreed terms with the Cards for 2016-17.

A few also report being questioned before reluctantly being allowed into the US.
Hundreds of Canadians travelled to the US to participate in the Women's March on Washington.
Thousands more are taking part in companion rallies planned in cities across the country.
Sasha Dyck will be marching in Montreal after he and seven others were turned away by US officials at the Lacolle border crossing between the province of Quebec and New York State.
The 34-year-old Montrealer say they told border agents they were heading to the Washington rally.
"We were told to pull aside, cars were searched, we were fingerprinted and photographed, they confiscated our phones and asked us to unlock them," he told the BBC.
"They asked us a few questions, about whether we there to disrupt or anything like that but mostly had to stew for about two hours and then they told us: 'You're going home, going back to Canada.'"
He said they were not given a reason for being turned away. He also said two companions who were French nationals were told that for any subsequent trips to the US they would need visas.
"I had a feeling they didn't like the look of us, just thought we would be a hassle, that it would be easier to turn us back," he said.
Joe Kroese, a 23-year-old UK national studying in Montreal, said he had a similar experience at the border.
He says that he, two Americans, and a Canadian tried to cross the border on Thursday with plans to spend the night in New York and then likely go to DC for the march on Friday.
Mr Kroese said they did not initially tell the border agents they were planning to attend the protest but were clear about their intentions when asked for more information.
"That was when the vibe totally changed," he said.
He said border agents wanted to know why they wanted to attend the DC march and searched through his phone.
"They were trying to find stuff to, I guess, show we had some violent intent," he said.
Mr Kroese and his Canadian friend were both denied entry after about three hours at the border crossing. He says he was told he was turned away because of his plans to attend the Washington rally and because he did not immediately disclosed his intent to travel to the march.
The student was also told he would now need a visa to enter the US.
Joseph Decunha, a 20-year-old Montrealer, was also turned back at the Lacolle crossing. He said he was asked specifically if he, his partner and a friend supported or opposed Trump.
"We were forthcoming and explained we were quite vehemently anti-(Trump)," he told Reuters.
US Customs and Border Protection has said it was not at liberty to discuss individual cases.
An Ontario couple, Amber Gazdic and husband Chris Bolestridge, told the CBC they were pulled aside at the Niagara Falls border crossing and told "that, as Canadians, we had no right to go and participate in this march".
Ms Gazdic said: "It's none of our business, and Canada has its own problems we should address. The impression that we got was that they were looking for a reason to not allow entry."
The couple were eventually allowed to cross after an hour of questioning.
It is not unprecedented for travellers crossing into the US or Canada Canada to have their phones searched.
In a statement, Canada's federal Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said that, when entering another country, it has always been the case that goods accompanying a traveller may be searched to verify admissibility.
He also said he was unable comment on the operational matters of either Canada's or other countries' border agencies.
The M62 has reopened after being closed eastbound at J21 Milnrow and westbound at J22 on the A672 Ripponden.
A lorry crossed from the eastbound carriageway to the westbound carriageway and collided with 10 vehicles, police said.
The crash happened at 08:15 BST on Monday.
The motorway remained partially closed overnight for repair work but reopened on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old lorry driver was airlifted to hospital and remains in a critical condition with a head injury.
A second motorist, aged 53, was treated for a leg injury and a third driver, aged 30, sustained whiplash.
Officers are asking drivers who may have captured footage on CCTV or a dash-cam to contact them.
Khurram Rahi, 27, of Rosefield Road, Smethwick, was arrested by police investigating the assault of the girl at Witton station. He is due before Birmingham magistrates on Monday.
A second man, aged 34, who was also arrested on Saturday, has been released while police inquiries continue.
The girl told police she was raped a second time when she left the station.
She flagged down a van for help, police said, but was attacked by the driver, in the early hours of Wednesday.
Det Ch Insp Tony Fitzpatrick, from British Transport Police, said: "This case has gained national interest and I am pleased we are now in a position to charge a man.
"However, we still have a suspect outstanding for the offence in the vehicle.
"I would urge anyone who may have any information regarding this attack to get in touch as soon as possible."
He said the second attack happened at about 02:00 BST near Witton station.
The suspect sought over that assault is described as thick-set Asian man, about 5ft 6in tall with large biceps.
Only 29.1 overs were possible before the weather turned during lunch and play was abandoned at 17:10 BST.
Northants opener Ben Duckett missed out on a third Championship century of the season, edging Ajmal Shahzad to Chris Nash at slip to be dismissed for 72.
Duckett was the only Northants wicket to fall, while captain Alex Wakely will resume 46 not out on the third day.
Azharullah's 6-68 helped to bowl out Sussex for just 178 on day one.
Some 5,000 people were evacuated when police declared a major incident in Kingsway in Holborn on Wednesday.
The fire was put out on Good Friday morning but scores of businesses have had to shut their doors for a second day.
About 50 firefighters remain at the scene as engineers continue to work to restore power to 400 customers.
Eight theatres nearby were forced to cancel ten performances.
There had been concerns more shows over the busy bank holiday weekend would not go ahead, but no changes have yet been announced.
Matthew Gardiner, from ticket firm Shows in London, said some venues brought in generators "so the show can go on this evening".
"It's in the theatre's best interests to get these shows up and running as quickly as possible given that it's a bank holiday weekend," he said.
He said the firm had received a record number of calls on Thursday morning from people who wanted to rebook.
Those who had missed shows would be entitle to a refund, he said.
Mr Gardiner expressed concerns businesses in the area which benefit from theatregoers' custom might be adversely affected.
Rachel Wicking from Primrose Bakery, which is opposite one of the affected theatres, said she had sent staff home due to the power cuts in the area.
"We're obviously operating at a loss when we should be making the most money of the year," she said.
Some 3,000 customers had originally been without power as a result of the fire, UK Power Networks said, forcing many businesses in the area to close.
A spokeswoman said: "During the night National Grid were able to stop the flow of gas at Kingsway so the fire could be extinguished, enabling us to continue restoring electricity supplies.
"We are working with the emergency services and other agencies to keep affected customers updated.
"The cause of the incident is being investigated, but until utilities can access the tunnel it's impossible to determine."
London Fire Brigade (LFB) station manager Sean Madeley said the fire had been put out on Good Friday morning.
"We're staying at the scene to assist UK Network as they carry out work in the tunnel as a safety precaution," he added.
He said Kingsway was expected to remained closed for the rest of the day, possibly longer, but some streets may be opened to pedestrians sooner.

In the next few days it will phase out the Other inbox, where members currently receive messages from people they are not Facebook friends with.
Some members have expressed concern about harassment and spam gaining increased visibility.
Facebook users who run groups are also affected as they often communicate with group members who are not friends.
Once the phasing is complete, all messages from people outside of a member's friend network will arrive as "requests" which the recipient can accept or reject.
The messages will however arrive automatically if the sender is not a Facebook friend but stored as a contact in the recipient's mobile device - as long as the service is synced.
Many of the platform's 1.5 billion users weren't even aware of the extra inbox, which is currently only accessible by logging on to Facebook via a browser.
Rebecca Smith from St Albans in the UK is one of the owners of a group for British bloggers, which has over 3,000 members.
She said often members don't see admin messages because they fall into the 'other' folder.
"We message everyone that requests to join. As it's a group for UK bloggers, we have to make sure they're from the UK and also that they aren't going to spam the group," she said.
Ms Smith thinks the Message Requests service will mean more potential members will see this initial correspondence.
"It means our messages won't be missed and people can't claim that they haven't been spoken to," she added.
"Some people keep doing the same things over and over again that we've asked them not to because the messages we send go into their "others" inbox that they don't check."
However, some responses to the announcement about Messenger Requests, made by David Marcus, Facebook's vice president of messaging products, on the social network, have been more cautious.
"This means women will get creepy messages directly in their inbox. They used to be able to ignore them as they went to the others folder," wrote one commenter.
"We truly want to make Messenger the place where you can find and privately connect with anyone you need to reach, but only be reached by the people you want to communicate with," said Mr Marcus.
"Now, the only thing you need to talk to virtually anyone in the world, is their name."
He added that the sender will not be able to see whether their message has been ignored.
In the interests of research I decided to have a quick look at mine.
The majority of messages were ancient event invitations, although nobody has ever berated me for my lack of RSVP.
A few unsolicited comments about my appearance, some kinder than others, then there was the obvious spam and one obligatory request to put $20m in my bank account via Nigeria.
Farewell Other Inbox... I'm not sure I will miss you.
It comes just three years after Tesco bought the restaurant chain for £49m.
The sale includes 54 standalone restaurants and three that sit inside Tesco stores.
The supermarket has also disposed of its 95% stake in Turkish grocery business Kipa to local rival Migros.
The sale of Kipa is expected to raise about £30m for Tesco.
The asset sales are part of attempts by Tesco chief executive Dave Lewis to revive the retail giant's fortunes. Last September, Tesco sold its South Korean business, Homeplus, for £4.2bn.
There has also been speculation that Tesco could sell its Dobbies garden centre chain and coffee shop chain Harris & Hoole in order to focus on its supermarket operations.
Announcing the sale of Giraffe, Mr Lewis said: "As we stabilise the business in the UK, we continue to focus on where we can best serve the needs of our customers, while ensuring our business remains sustainable for the long-term."
Of the Kipa deal, Mr Lewis said: "The sale of Kipa reflects the particular strategic challenge we have faced in Turkey as a small regional player in a highly competitive market.
"It removes the need for the sustained investment required to enable the business to compete independently, allowing us to focus on improving profitability in Central Europe and continuing to grow our businesses in South East Asia."
It was just a little under three years ago that I was given a guided tour of Tesco's new look Watford store by the former CEO Philip Clarke.
It was, he said, the future of the hypermarket and encapsulated his vision of what to do with all that excess space. Giraffe was a key part of his strategy to try to pull shoppers in.
The current boss, Dave Lewis, is in the midst of doing a U-turn, not only with this family friendly chain, but potentially a number of other companies that Tesco has bought along the way.
The sale of Kipa is just the latest in a line of international disposals.
The focus now is very firmly on revitalising Tesco's core UK business, a sector where the going is tough. And it got just a bit tougher yesterday with the entry of the mighty Amazon into the UK grocery market.
Vinh Bao is reckoned to be one of the last guardians of 'nhạc tai tu Nam Bo', a genre of Southern Vietnamese music translated as "the music of talented persons".

At 96 he is also one of Vietnam's oldest living people.
He first picked up an instrument, a short-necked moon-shaped lute, when he was just five years old. Music was a great tradition in his wealthy landowning family and he gradually mastered all the traditional Vietnamese instruments.
He was one of the first Vietnamese artists to have their music recorded in 1938 and went on to become a full time music teacher and a custodian of South Vietnam's musical traditions.
"Vietnamese music expresses human emotions. Western music both expresses human feelings but also describes external things. It can imitate the sounds of a storm, a whirlwind, bird song, animals, flowing water," he says.
"Vietnamese music can't do that. Its notation system doesn't permit that. It can only express joy or sorrow."
Even though he is now very elderly Vinh Bao still teaches music, using his computer to coach pupils across the globe.
He is determined to ensure that the musical traditions to which he has dedicated his life continue once he has gone.
"Music is my passion. To me, it's like breathing. I don't do this for money, but simply for my love of music. Music absorbs my anguish, my sorrows, my feelings."
CCTV systems, routers, digital video recorders and other internet-of-things (IoT) devices are now believed to be harbouring the Hajime worm.
The fast-moving worm is currently outpacing malicious equivalents seeking the same vulnerable gear.
Security researchers say they do not know who created Hajime or how it might ultimately be used.
Hajime was first discovered in October 2016 and, said security researchers, had been hunting down IoT devices with security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a different worm, called Mirai.
Earlier the same month, a network of devices compromised by Mirai was responsible for knocking offline high-profile websites including Twitter, Spotify and Reddit.
Modest estimates suggested Hajime was now present on "tens of thousands" of devices, wrote Symantec researcher Waylon Grange in a blog.
Programs such as Hajime and Mirai must keep scouring the net for victims, because switching off a vulnerable device generally cleans out the infection.
Mr Grange noted that Hajime currently had no attack code built in so could not be used to mount the kinds of attacks Mirai had been implicated in.
The only action taken by Hajime is to regularly display a message from the worm's author on the internal interface for each device.
The message says, among other things: "Just a white hat, securing some systems."
The term "white hat" is typically applied to those hackers seeking to secure rather than exploit vulnerabilities.
Malicious or criminal hackers are known as "black hats".
"There is a question around trusting that the author is a true white hat and is only trying to secure these systems, as they are still installing their own backdoor on the system," wrote Mr Grange.
He added if the author's intentions changed they could "potentially" turn the infected devices into a "massive" attack network.

An employment tribunal in London ruled the drivers are workers rather than self-employed.
Uber says it will appeal against the decision.
The BBC spoke to two Uber drivers for their views of the job.
Duncan Weir kicked three penalties to Finn Russell's two to nudge the visitors 9-6 ahead before Jonny Gray's try gave Glasgow a half-time lead.
But two more Weir penalties and Damien Hoyland's score put Edinburgh 22-11 up.
Tommy Seymour had a try ruled out for Glasgow before Stuart Hogg went over, but Glenn Bryce's try sealed victory.
Weir's conversion with the last kick of the game meant Edinburgh came two points short overall, having lost the first leg 25-12 at Murrayfield on Boxing Day.
But Duncan Hodge's side finished their season with back-to-back victories before Richard Cockerill takes over as head coach this summer.
This was a match of attrition, the slowest of slow burners. It was ferociously competitive but, for large parts, ferociously dull, until Edinburgh kicked on in the second half and then Glasgow stirred themselves to go in pursuit.
Edinburgh had a strong breeze on their backs in the opening half and it was 6-6 after the first quarter. The only thing that could be said was that it was a thumpingly tough game, interrupted by multiple errors, a mountain of penalties, two Edinburgh sin-binnings, a little bit of narkiness and precious little of anything that might constitute entertaining rugby.
This is not how Scotstoun had imagined Townsend's farewell, before he replaces Vern Cotter as Scotland coach next month.
Edinburgh survived despite conceding penalty after penalty and losing man after man. Ross Ford was binned and yet the men from the capital somehow won that 10-minute spell 3-0 with a third penalty from the unerring boot of Weir. Then, Sam Hidalgo-Clyne walked for another build-up of offences and for two minutes Glasgow lived inside Edinburgh's 22 while up against 13 players.
They butchered their first chance to make Edinburgh pay, but took their second. Ford had come back on, but that hardly mattered when Scott Cummings galloped forward and offloaded sumptuously out of the side door to his second-row partner, Jonny Gray. The captain strode on to score.
Russell missed the conversion and the difference between the kickers was emphasised when Weir, into the breeze, put over a fourth penalty early in the second half and then a fifth to make it 15-11.
Glasgow had missed a couple of try-scoring chances just before. Their lack of accuracy, and Edinburgh's fine defence, kept them out. Jamie Ritchie was terrific in the back row for Hodge's team.
Just before the hour, Edinburgh made things really interesting when Hoyland skipped through a porous Glasgow defence and went over for a try that was converted by Weir. That brought it to 22-11. In the context of the 1872 Cup, that put Edinburgh only two points behind on aggregate.
There was a response from Glasgow. Seymour was just about held up as he crashed over the Edinburgh line, then Hogg skipped over for a try that Russell converted. The fly-half had a chance to make it a one-point game with 11 minutes left on the clock but missed a straightforward penalty.
Edinburgh, a crushing disappointment all season, at least finished powerfully. When Glasgow threatened to win it, they showed cool heads, tremendous desire and a lot of precision to get Bryce over for the match-winning try at the end. Weir, as you knew he would, added the conversion to complete the upset. A considerable upset at that.
Cockerill will have been impressed with what he saw, Townsend - and the arriving Dave Rennie - less so. Edinburgh delivered nothing all season in the Pro12, but they roused themselves to spoil Townsend's goodbye.
Edinburgh interim head coach Duncan Hodge: "It was reward for all the hard work that has gone in. We showed glimpses today of what we could do.
"We had to defend for huge amounts of the game, so to stick in and come away with a win, against the wind in the second half, was a tremendous effort."
Edinburgh wing Damien Hoyland: "We knew it was going to be all about energy and effort. Even when we conceded just before half-time, we had two guys in the bin and really made them fight for that try. We knew with guys coming back on, we could push them hard in the second half.
"Coming to Scotstoun and beating Glasgow - we haven't done that for a long time - will give us a massive boost going into next season."
Glasgow full-back Stuart Hogg: "I thought we were going to do it at the end but credit to Edinburgh, I thought they were outstanding. We didn't perform anywhere near our best and you can see that in the final result.
"We wanted to send everyone off in style but unfortunately we weren't able to do that. Gregor has turned this team around and unfortunately we are not giving him the send-off he deserves."

Froome won for a second time in Paris in July but faced accusations of doping and abuse from the crowd and said "no sportsman should have to go through what we went through".
When asked in an exclusive interview with the BBC's sports editor Dan Roan whether he could win five more Tours, Froome said: "Why not? I'm 30, other riders have won Tours into their late 30s, potentially I've got another eight or nine years left in me."
In the wide-ranging interview, Froome also discusses the forthcoming Vuelta, winning over the doubters and impending fatherhood.
Dan Roan: There has been talk of knighthoods and Sports Personality of the Year back home, and it seems to me that the British public has really grasped what you achieved at the Tour this year: how does that level of recognition feel?
Chris Froome: It's amazing but it still feels a little bit surreal, it's not like I've changed as a person. I understand that (winning the Tour twice) is a massive accomplishment but I still wake up every morning and have to get out and go training. Not much has changed, so it's still taking a bit of getting used to.
DR: How many Tour de France titles do you think you can win?
CF: It's tough to say but I'd love to keep racing until my late 30s, for as long as my body will allow me to. I'd like to think I could go back again for the foreseeable future, four or five years at least…
DR: You think you can win five more Tours?
CF: Why not? I'm 30, other riders have won Tours into their late 30s, potentially I've got another eight or nine years left in me.
DR: You looked pretty tired after the Tour. Why have you decided to go for the Vuelta just four weeks later?
CF: It's been on the back of mind from the start of the season but I wanted to see how I felt after the Tour and check that the motivation is still there. Once I was able to get out for a few rides I could see I didn't feel too bad and could give it a go. And it's just that: I'm not going to make any big promises or set the bar too high. I can go in there and give it my best shot. If it works out, fantastic; if not, I'm sure I can do a job for somebody else in the team.
DR: To win both, in that order, would be unprecedented (Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault have won Tour/Vuelta doubles when the Spanish race was run in the spring). How big an achievement would it be?
CF: With the way the schedule is these days, it is very difficult to back up Grand Tours like that. We've seen Alberto Contador not quite at his best at the Tour having done the Giro earlier, and I also did the Vuelta in 2012 after I came second in the Tour and I really felt it was hard. When it came to that last week I was on my hands and knees. So I'm hoping I don't end up in the same boat but I'm realistic and I know it could be the case.
DR: You won the King of the Mountains jersey at the Tour, too, and I wonder if you think your feats this year have led to a breakthrough with the British public?
CF: I really appreciate that people have recognised the accomplishment and how much hard work and dedication that takes, that is a great feeling. But at the end of the day I'm not racing for recognition, I'm not racing for popularity, that's not who I am. I'm focused on the result and trying to get the best out of myself from a sporting capacity. That's what really motivates me.
DR: You could have spent the last few weeks giving interview after interview - as many sports people would have if they had achieved what you had - but you didn't. Why?
CF: I think it goes back to what I'm trying to get from the sport: what my goals are. I'm not in it for popularity or commercial reasons. As an athlete I'm very focused on goals and 10 days after the Tour I was already thinking: 'OK, we're on to the next thing now and we're looking after my conditioning for the Vuelta.'
DR: You got some pretty raw treatment at the Tour. Are you philosophical about that now or still angry?
CF: I don't think any sportsman should have to go through what we went through. I mean urine thrown at you, Richie Porte was punched, I was spat on by spectators. I don't believe that should happen.
DR: Did it spur you on as a team?
CF: I think that's what was great about this year's team: it made us really dig in and say we've got to stick together and come out on top.
DR: But when somebody spat at you were you ever tempted to get off and hit them?
CF: I'd love to have a conversation with these people and say to them: 'What's the issue here? Because I know there is nothing untoward about what I've done to get here.'
But if people are being told otherwise that's what they're going to believe, especially if it is by supposed cycling experts. It's pretty damaging but it's important to say that it wasn't the whole of France doing this, it was scattered individuals. If you think of the 12 million who came out to support the Tour, it was probably less than 1% who were negative and anti-Sky - although you hear that 1%, they're louder than the majority.
DR: Did it toughen you up?
CF: I feel as if I'm now used to what it means to be a leader of the Tour de France. I've done it a few times and nothing shocks me. Even this year, when a few things happened, I knew we had a job to do and that we were living the dream as leaders of the Tour de France.
DR: There was the incident with Vincenzo Nibali on the team bus and I have heard team-mates talk about you as a 'pit bull' and yet you come across as very polite and softly-spoken. Did you make a conscious decision to change?
CF: No, but after the season I had last year - crashing out, breaking my hand and wrist - I came into the Tour ready to race, so of course I was ready to stand up for myself. I was not going to let anything get in the way. I thought I'm not going to stand for this: I'm going to sort it out.
DR: You live in France: do you ever get any stick here?
CF: No, it's absolutely the opposite. And I did some criteriums (town-centre exhibition races) in France after the Tour and the reception was incredible. All the kids and parents came out and they were loving getting a photo with me. There was no negativity whatsoever. I really think that is going to continue next year. The negativity was all about certain French commentators doing their job in a way that was very irresponsible.
DR: It looked pretty hairy for a moment on that penultimate stage. How close were you to losing the race?
CF: I knew I had a good lead and my team was fantastic in getting to the bottom of Alpe d'Huez but Nairo Quintana was off up the road and taking a lot of time back, so there were moments when I'm sure my team-mates also felt a little bit nervous.
DR: Has the criticism you receive, the doubts you hear about your performances, ever made you think about quitting the sport?
CF: No, I love this sport. I am going to keep racing as hard as I can until this body doesn't allow me to any more. All of that is just a sideshow. It's not going to stop my goals or ambitions.
DR: Do you think you can win the doubters over in time?
CF: That's not my goal as such, but I do want to be a spokesman for clean cycling - I believe somebody has to stand up for the current generation. I'm happy to do that. I'm happy to release more information when I can and to show people that they can trust these performances. Because from my point of view, if I can win the Tour de France clean, then you can win any bike race clean.
DR: You're going to be a dad soon, what a year for you. Are you ready for that?
CF: Yeah, I've got a little boy coming and I can't wait. It's going to be the biggest thing that has happened to me in my life so far. Bigger than any Tour de France win.
DR: One thing that strikes me is that British cycling fans would love to see more of you: would you consider competing in Britain more often?
CF: I'd love to do more racing in Britain. I'd love to do the Tour of Britain but it's always such a hard choice for me to do that or the Vuelta, which is a Grand Tour. I'd really like to do both but they clash. But who knows, maybe next year I could come over to the Tour de Yorkshire. I'd certainly like to do more racing in the UK.
DR: Watching those mountain stages on TV, I am always amazed at how close the fans get to the riders. What is it like riding through those corridors of people?
CF: It's pretty grippy at times, especially when you know a lot of the spectators have been drinking all day - you can smell it on their breath! You do wonder if they're going to get out of the way and you just try to pick a line through them. But that's one of the great things about the Tour de France, that the fans can get that close. I don't think there's any other sport like that.
Plans to sell the naming rights to the 170m (560ft) tower are set to be approved by the city council.
An un-named "premium brand" has expressed a desire to acquire the rights in time for the America's Cup World Series sailing event in July.
The local authority said it was maximising the "advertising potential" of its assets.
Portsmouth City Council's proposals are to agree the naming rights for five years, with the first changes to branding and signage in place by 17 July.
They are set to be approved as a key decision by the cabinet member for economic development on Friday.
The tower, which opened in 2005, is owned by the council and run by a private attractions management company.
A council report said the authority had been looking for ideas to "generate additional revenue by using the advertising potential of council-owned land and other assets" since 2009.
The display of the company's name on the exterior of the tower would constitute an advertisement and would have to go through the planning process.
Speaking to Parliament's Treasury Committee, he said: "The point at which interest rates may begin to rise is moving closer.
"Once rates begin to adjust, we expect for those adjustments to be at a gradual pace and to a limited extent."
UK rates have been at the record low of 0.5% for more than six years.
Most analysts do not expect the Bank to raise rates until next year at the earliest.
The pound rose by 1.5 cents against the dollar - 1% - to $1.5637, in response to his comments.
Against the euro it was also up 1% at $1.42.4.
Mr Carney said that the Bank would be able to raise rates due to "consistent growth above trend, a firming in domestic costs, counter-balanced by disinflation imported from abroad".
However, Mr Carney also said rates would not increase to the levels seen before the financial crisis.
"I do think there are a variety of factors that mean that the new normal, certainly over the policy horizon over the next three years, is substantially lower than it was previously," he said.
"I see no scenario in which they would move towards historic levels."
Mr Carney was also asked for his view on the statement by the euro group leaders providing for Greece's third bailout in five years.
He said: "What's embedded in that statement will require Herculean efforts from all sides.
"The scale of structural reforms, the scale of fiscal adjustment, the scale of privatisation that will ultimately be required are significant.
"The process by which this agreement was struck, the nature of the agreement, the scale of the challenge underscore the number of institutional shortcomings that still exist with European Monetary Union."
Mr Carney also said the Bank of England was looking into the impact of the introduction of a national living wage announced in last week's Budget by Chancellor George Osborne.
The findings will be revealed in the Bank's quarterly inflation report next month.
Mark Carney said the rise in the wage was likely to push up overall wages by about 0.3%.
But he said the impact on inflation would be limited because not all labour costs borne by businesses would be passed on to consumers.
"In terms of overall economic impact, whether on inflation or activity or productivity, it will modestly move all of those up - modestly but not materially." | A van driver has been injured in two-vehicle crash on the A701 near Beattock in Dumfries and Galloway.

Eleven men and one woman from Northern Ireland and Manchester admitted a role in the drugs smuggling.
They were arrested following six drugs seizures between September 2013 and August 2014.
Sentencing at Londonderry crown court, Judge Philip Babington said each defendant "played their own important role".
Judge Babington described Declan Gallagher, 34 - originally from Derry but who had been living in greater Manchester - as the "organiser and director of the entire criminal enterprise".
He pleaded guilty to seven separate charges and was sentenced to nine years in prison.
A PSNI officer said Gallagher had fled to Manchester after he was shot by dissident republicans at his home in St Johnston, County Donegal, in 2008.
He also escaped injury in a pipe bomb attack and his Donegal home was destroyed in a separate arson attack, the court heard.
Judge Babington said the 12 defendants might not have known each other, but all were known to Gallagher and that they acted at his behest.
He said the PSNI's Operation Meris had made seizures in Antrim, Larne, Belfast, Dromore and twice in Derry.
The court heard the operation involved extensive undercover surveillance, CCTV and mobile phone triage after meetings of the drugs gang in Manchester and Lisburn in March 2014.
Declan Palmer, 44, who was involved in five of the six drug seizure, was sentenced to seven years.
Judge Babington described him as Declan Gallagher's "trusted lieutenant" and said he was heavily involved in the planning and organising of the drugs shipments from Manchester to Northern Ireland.
A three-year jail sentence was handed down to 25-year old Benjamin Harding.
Raymond Hamilton, 32, Phillip Colville, 44, Ryan Radcliffe, 26, Edward Cameron, 56, Michael Rainey, 50 and Scott Sotheron, 42, were all also jailed for three years.
Three further defendants received suspended sentences.
Louise Gallagher, 46, a sister of Declan Gallagher, received a 12-month sentence suspended for three years.
Her 45-year old brother Peter Gallagher was sentenced to 18 months in prison, suspended for 3 years.
Patrick Ward, 50, received a 12-month sentence suspended for three years.

The attack targeted an investment fund called the DAO which is based on technology derived from the Bitcoin crypto-currency.
DAO members are now debating how to recover the diverted funds.
One suggestion involves rolling back the entire computerised system to a time when the hack had not happened.
The DAO, or Decentralised Autonomous Organisation, acts as an investment fund that people buy into by swapping real cash for a virtual currency known as Ether.
Using Ether, people could buy DAO tokens that they could "spend" to back start-ups and investment opportunities looking for help via the fund. Earlier this year, investors put about $150m of Ether into the DAO.
Ether was developed by a company called Ethereum which has been at the forefront of work to use the technology and ideas behind bitcoin in other ways. The DAO was an attempt to use it to create a crowd-sourced autonomous fund owned by its participants that was free of the third-parties involved in more traditional venture capital investment vehicles.
But one DAO participant noticed a flaw in the way that tokens were transferred between members - this allowed them to siphon off about 3 million of the tokens into a separate DAO of their own.
"An attack has been found and exploited in the DAO, and the attacker is currently in the process of draining the Ether contained in the DAO into a child DAO," wrote Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin in a blogpost about the incident.
Mr Buterin has proposed that the system be changed to make all the addresses holding Ether in the separate or "child" DAO invalid. A 27-day limit on when Ether can be moved out of a child DAO gives members a chance to fix the problem before the virtual cash is moved, he wrote.
Alternatively, he said, the creators of the DAO could simply return the whole system to a time when the hack had not yet happened.
Christoph Jentzsch, chief technology officer at Slock.it - which created the DAO's "framework" - said it was "fully supporting" the plan to invalidate the addresses holding Ether in the attacker's own DAO. He said Slock.it was now investigating how to go about rolling the whole system back to the time before the attack.
Prof Emin Gun Sirer, a computer scientist at Cornell University, said the attack was a "nightmare scenario" come to life.
He said the incident showed that setting up and running applications like the DAO requires "extreme amounts of diligence".
"It's more similar to writing code for a nuclear power reactor, than to writing loose web code," he said. | Hackers have taken control of virtual cash worth $60m (£41m) by exploiting a bug in a system designed to help start-ups. | 36,585,930 | 590 | 35 | false |
